CVC has die largest incomingfireshmanclass ever, widi 340-350 students. Last year, the record was 307. There are students Ironi as close as Lee County, and fiom as fiar away as Pennsylvania and'New York. Students gave varied reasons for choosing CVC as the school for their education. Christy Tickle, of CasOewood. said, 'T was fiBmiliar. wilh.ihe campus. I've been here for three years in Upward Boond. I liked it:'' AngetaBandy fioraHiriey a p i ^ loRadfoidi JMU and Viiginia Intermonti in addition to CVC. She admitted Out CVC was her second choice. A8reason<for choosing'it.''It's fairly ctose to home, and I've beard good diings about die coU^." said Angela. Anthony WellsfromNorton said. "Well, ilwas better than Mountain Empire, llhoughtit'd give roea challenge, and obviously, it's going to." In addition. Tt's close to home. Mainly for die Science prognun." he added. Some had less academic reasons for choosing CVC. Joe Bonhanof Slafford County said in explanation. "WeD. 'causeraygrades weren'tlhat good, plus my girUriend was gohig here, but webrokenp." Some gave reasons that were mere vague. " I dm'tknowhowit haiqwned really: it's just a set things" said'Eric Osborne,fromGrundy. SGAPresidentshows by Karen PhiiqM Co|V Editor SGA President Nona Shepherd is looking forward to a good, but busy, year. TheSGAIs responsible r or allotting money to the yearbook and the newspaper. In addltlonto the schedul I ng and organi zat Ion of numerous campus events. She acknowledges that she faces many Photo by Robert Engto optimism difficult tasks in the upcoming year, but remains optlmtstlc. "My favorite port ts.reallzing all the good things we might be able to do," said Shepherd. Shepher^d has many Ideas she brings to her Job, and Is looking forward to the f i r s t S6A meeting to table some of them. She said, " I hope w e can provide a variety of actlvl lies for students, perhaps breaking the routine." She added, "We're looking at several entertainment options for the upcoming year," but explained that nothinghad been decided. The f i r s t SGA meeting w i l l be held on August 29»>at 1:00 In the conference room at the Baptist Student Union building. In previous years, the meetings were held In Smlddy Hall. Shepherd favors this change,as It provides more of a "round table" discussion format. Anew meetlngplace w i l l be named for future meetings. If there Is not enough room at the 6SU. All students are Invl ted, and encouraged to attend the SGA meetings. This year the current SGA for '91-'9 2 also has toconslderfootball. "We're hoping that football w i l l keep more students on campus on weekends. 1 think we are going to have to schedule some activities around the f i r s t season to betteraccommodate students," said Shepherd. She also stated the SGA would look into the possibility of taking buses "to the further home games and the away games 1 f possible." To assist the SGA In preparation for the upcoming school year, a workshop was held from August 2 ( t o August 24. The workshop was coordinated by Dean of Students Carolyn Brooks, who also serves as the SGA advisor. Shepherd Indlcated.that while Dean Brooks made some suggestions, that they "were also l e f t ample time to discuss ourplans and Ideas among ourselves." The purpose of the workshop, according to Shepherd, was two-fold. First, 11 al lowed the attending members of the SGA to begin working as a group and to get to know each other. The second purpose of the workshop was to plan ahead for future activities. The workshopprovlded Shepherd w i t h a bright outlook f orthe upcoming year. " I really enjoy working w i t h the members of the SGA. They have shown enthusiasm and excitement about the upcoming year," she said. Shepherd, former edltor-lnchlef of thlsnewspaper, found giving an Interview "very awkward. Because qs I'm being askedquestions,! think of how I would have asked It. It's hard to switch modes." When asked what she enjoyed most about the paper. Shepherd replied, "My favorite part was doing layout. In a way, I miss It." f On ° Tl he Inside. ..

Even after spending several days on this cantpus there might sHU be places that the new student has not been introduced to. Unless you are livingon campus, the Zehnier bunding is where most of your time will be spent Thefirstfloor contains the Advising Center, HP 3000 computer room, Jefferson Lounge, and a laige block of the professor's offices. The secondflooris mostly classrooms and one of the mostfanportaniplaces for students on campus: the MPS lab. Here students have Macintosh computers at their dlqiosal so they can type their assignments. This service has saved many lives during crunch time, the week before exams. Acrossfiom2Sehmer is the Scknce Buildhig where the science classes are held as well as the labs. Ginch Valley College is known, whh good reason, for having an excellent science department. None of CVC's science professors give easy A's so if you are enrolled in a science class be prepared to do some work. Some of die larger classes offered at this school are held in the Science Lectnre HdI. In addition to the science professor's (rfflces, this building houses an observatory and a sciencereadingroom. Behind the Zehmer building U WyUe Ubrary. Hie Ubray itself is very good omsidering the size of the school. Unfortunately the library is still run (Mi an old-£Bshk)ned card catalog system rather than an electronic system. The libraiy is d)le.io.sendofr<or books and related ilemsiihai are not'available in the litany. However, this does require some time, so it is a good idea to gather your sources quicker for'a research paper instead of wailing until die last possible moment to begin. A slK»tlrip downthe stfeps (which somehow grows to a much longer trip when going up) willlead you to the administr«i<m building, Smiddy.HaU. Smiddy Hall has one large classroom which is usually q)litintotiuieesmaller classrooms. This buikUng hoMs several of the professcff's offices as well as the administrative offices. Most of the students living (MI campus are housed in McCraray HalL McQaray haU does not allow alcohol andhassetvisitatioahoufs. Mosttrf die other places of residence are much less strict and crowded. This donn is probeMy the least favored by residents. The Honors Houses offer students a greater range of freedom as there is no set visitation hours. Students living here enjoy a private kitchen, and a short walk (0 classes. The name of Honors is somewhat of a misnomer as just one of the two buiklings is run as an Honor house. The other buikUng does not operate from a student's GPA. bm rather is run as the other residences. Martha Randtdph Hall is a women'sdorm. The buikling was used as a Home for Wayward Women before CVC was established here. This HaU aUows akx)hol'fw those of legal akL There are no set visitmion hours.

The CVC Oameroom offers students a selection of video games and pinball. Finally, StndOTt Servkes and Student HealOi Servkes are housed within Cantrell. A recentiy condensed lounge allows for students to come and watch television during die day. The Chapel of AU Faiths is CVC's melting pot ofallreligkNis faiths. This buikling has a multitude of functions including pubUc meetings and speeches. Often studenu enter into the Chapel simply to play a piano inside. Most students do not enter this buikUng very often except on special occasions. The Fred B. Grcear Gymnasium is CVC's on-campus gym.
