Bra ing Registration egistration, something which occurs at the beginning of each semester, was frought with the usual hazards this year. The first thing you encountered in registration was the long line leading toward Peterson Conference Center. You waited as patiently as possible. Once Dean O'Brien had punched your registration card and made sure you were that at your appointed time, you were able to enter. Here you received a list ofthose courses which you had signed up for, those you had gotten and those you hadnt Some got to this point only to discover they had received none of the classes they had signed up for. However, it did not end there. You were then bounced through the bureaucracy of Mars Hills business office. Continuing through the process, you man- aged to have your forms checked, double- checked. stamped, and initialed depending on which station you found yourself at. In a space of about sixty feet you managed to register your vehicle, pay any Overdue library fines, visit the housing office, financial aid department, and the business office. Finally you reached the point where ID photos were taken, It was a photo you knew you would treasure forever. Then the ID was sent through still another process where it was validated and placed with an epicure sticker, Once you had the ID in your hand still warm from lamination, you began to hope that it was over. Before you could go out the door you had to take several memos concerning events, new regulations regarding your ID, a list ofthe movies for the semester, and a price list for the snack bar. As you went out the door you realized that your trial was not quite through. They had to take a copy ofyour course list and gave infor- mation concerning corrective registration, which gave you something to look forward to the next day. Thinking you were free at last, the editors of the yearbook stuffed a memo in your hand telling you when and where to have your photo tal-zen. lf you were lucky enough to have gotten all your classes, you went to the bookstore to part with your summer savings in Order to buy books. lf not, you left to plan your strate- gy for corrective registration the next day.

L L lllllllllll fl I .ff artin Speaks to Students n September 24, 1985, the College Re- publicans hosted a town meeting at- tended by Governorrlim Martin. The idea of the town meeting dates back to the days of the first colonists discussing the gripes and concerns of the members of the community. In the town meetings, the residents and their elected officials found Out how decisions governing the people affected the immediate community, In keeping with this concept, Governor Martin was asked various ques- tions by members of the college community and the town community. On the list of to- pics discussed of regional and state impor- tance were the closing of textile mills, the murder of state troopers, road conditions throughout the state of North Carolina, and, on a national level. global defense and the skyrocketing dehcit. When asked about the problems facing the victims of layoffs from our struggling textile mills, Governor Martin stated that there is not much that can be done for those who are already out of jobs. In order to save the jobs of those still employed in the mills. he sug- gested that as consumers. we should purchase more products manufactured in the United States. He also recommended writing our Senators and Congressmen and urging them to vote for the Protectionist Bill, This bill would limit the importation of foreign com- modities and expand the export of American products. Concerning the problem of poor interstate roads and highways and the deaths of state patrolmen, Governor Martin stated that they are closely linked because the mon- ies for the operations of the Highway Patrol and the repair of our roads and highways come from the same depleted fund. The Governor and others are now lobbying for our state lesiglature to transfer monies from the General Fund to the Highway Fund for the repair of our road system and the increase of the number of state patrolmen. Although recent effons have been unsuccessful, he as- sured us that the effort to persuade his fellow lawmakers would continue. On national matters, such as global security and the spiraling deficit, he staunchly sup- ported the views ofthe Republican Party for a strong defense and a slow but steady reduc- tion of our national debt. The Governor's visit proved to be very inter- esting and gave people a great opportunity to gain insight into what our government is do- ing. It also gave them the chance to be a direct source of information. El -janice Davis People of all ages welcomed Governor Martin to Mars Hill on September 2-1, 1985. H Student Life: Governor
