Page Two THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, N. C. Novembejnbet 8, 1958 Violence Hits South Tensions tend to sharpen when there are conflicts of ideas. Upon occasions the tensions reach a breaking point and flare in violence. There is today in the South a conflict of ideas, as in other sections, concerning the United States Supreme Court decision pertaining to instruction of students of varying races in the same school. The terms commonly used to apply to the situation are segregation and integration. A Smile Is Universal Ti Language Of All Nation By lEANENE HARDY By Suzanne Gantt The process which Southern schools must now undergo, if it is to be a sucessful one, must be of an evolutionary nature. Yet the recent terror by bombing denotes that a change of a revolutionary nature must be in the offing. In recent months five Jewish worship centers have been razed by bombs, and two Tennessee schools have been destroyed. Cer tainly this is not an effective manner in which to accomplish a worthy objective. Also Christian churches and Negro homes have been bombed. Wait just a minute, don’t drop that paper cup! Hey, pick up that ice cream cone! Remember, a lit- terbug is a dirty bug and the most unpopular bugs are dirty bugs. This tends to lead one to believe that sentiment against the Negro has led to violence against that race as well as the Jewish race. Prejudice is a powerful motive in human behaviour and one that usually causes a person to follow patterns of action that are entirely un-Christian. Investigations have shown that there are links between some bombings and terrorist organizations. Anti-Semitism as well as emotional feeling aginst the Negro is much too widely prevalent in the United States, a nation that is founded upon Christian principles. It is not for us as students of a Christian institution to condone actions such have recently occured and certainly not to participate in behaviour such as that. Our generation and consequent ones will be the people who are to be most vitally affected by the present actions and decisions, so let us remember that in forming our views of such topics. Have you noticed a peculiar odor floating around in these hills ? It’s the smell of grease paint in the air. The fall play is coming up real soon and Mary Lawrence looks more like Cleopatra every day. Mrs. Watson and the Dra- mateers are to be congratulated for the good work they do on each play. The world spins around an axis of human relations. The volving around the axis is composed of man and his environmei struggle for existence, man establishes his life around the axis f relations by his ability to pt along with the other people in li ment. Whether his life is harmonious or discordant depend; relationship between him and his fellow men. The axis that holds the world together spins harmoniously relations are good. Since Yarbrough Is Nov. Assistant UNC Sings Sunday Parking Lot Problem Mars Hill College during the past summer season, had its two newly-built parking lots behind Memorial Library paved. These are beautiful parking lots, both from the aspect of utility and the aspect of sheer aesthetical beauty of an already beautiful campus with which we associate ourselves. With their expanses of black asphalt, rock walls, painted stripes and the new lighting system, the parking lots make a genuine physical asset to our campus. The two parking lots contain spaces for one hundred and sixty automobiles. Yet with this abundance of parking spaces, which most colleges do not have, how many of them are being used by resident students? Generally the lots are seen with less than a third of their potential capacity. Last Sunday, the dinner hour in the cafeteria was made enjoy able by some rousing dinner music provided by the Men’s Glee Club frorn UNC. Tears were in many eyes as the group rendered the beautiful “Halls of Ivy.” The clatter of dishes quieted immedi ately as the Carolina “Fight Song” filled the wide room. As the UN C alma mater was sung the audi ence rose in tribute to the univer sity which may someday be the alma mater of many Mars Hil- lians. A word of thanks is to be given to the W^omen’s Student council who threw the best shindig yet last Saturday night. Doughnuts served on broom handles was truly a witchy idea. The UNC boys added to the festivities with a few lively choruses. And the decora tions . . and the gay time . . . what fun! The Library Assistant for Oc tober is Edgar Yarbrough, a sophomore from Clinton, South Carolina. He began his library work the second semester last year and was our only library assistant during the past summer. Most of his work has been at the Main Desk. Mack Craddock, the Librar)' Assistant for September says: “Be ing selected as Librarj’ Assistant of the month is not only a great honor but also an outstanding chal lenge. These weeks of work have given me a greater knowledge of and appreciation for the library'. Therefore, I pledge my best serv ice to you.” Have you seen the O. Henrj' display in the Library? Each week we feature some special person or event on the bulletin board. ^ If you are planning a Thanks giving program, you may find some good suggestions at the Re serve Desk.

But on what basis is this decision made? The following is a quote from the Regulations Governing Student Automobiles: “Veterans, married students, and students over twenty-one years of age, upon proper application and approval by the Traffic Control Com mittee, may be granted special permission.” Chilly Weather Here The regulations continue to say that freshmen may not keep automobiles at all during their first semester and that sophomores who have secured permission may do so. Certainly this stipulation should not mean that all other bases for keeping a car on campus are to be excluded. But does it mean that the quoted bases are to be accepted at all times? Scholarship is a basis for judgement in this decision that should not logically be overlooked. Get out your heavy coats guys and dolls, ‘cause chilly weather has stealthily crept up on us.

It’s a little discour aging for us know it all college students to see the grammar school children keep the hoops go ing for hours at a furious pace, while we can hardly twirl them once. But, they say there’s some thing scientific to acount for the tykes abilities with the hoops. It’s rumored that Hula hoops are great reducers, too. During the recent study course one class was discussing marriage when they came to the marriage ceremony itself. The instructor asked if anyone knew the first words of the marriage vow.

Mars Hill students and faculty enjoyed a gala evening November 1 at the Halloween party spon sored by the Women’s student council. The event was effectively advertised by Miss Witch of 1958 — Arlene Edwards, who also served as mistress of ceremonies. Beginning at the magic hour of eight in the evening the audi torium was transformed into a realm of mystery and intrigue.
