-Page Two, THE HILLTOP, Thursday, May 5,1983- Goodbye, and Thanks In the last Hilltop issue, we had planned an excellent editorial on some important is sue gripping the college, or even the nation. We were going to take an important factor in the news and take a clear, arguable stance on it. We were looking for a powerful, con troversial thing that we could point out, clarify it, and state it from our viewpoint. The unfortunate thing is, that we found no such issue. We feel too many newspapers have “thank-you’s” as their last editorial, which isn’t an editorial at all. However, since there are no “hot” issues to debate on, and since we do have many people to thank for what has been achieved in the paper this year, here are our thank-you’s. Our first debt of thanks goes out to the Hilltop advisor, John Campbell of the Public Information Office. He logged many miles between Mars Hill and the printing company to get the paper in on time, and back out when it was due. He helped us get photos whenever we were in a tight pinch, and always came through when we needed some ex tra copy. He doesn’t even mind when we call him “John-boy.” Thanks also to Walter Smith who was always cooperative and helpful to us. He doesn’t even mind when we call him “Walter Smith.” John Hough was always there to supply us information about women’s athletics, and most of the women’s sports coverage this year was due to him. A debt of gratitude is owed to Dr. Fred Bentley who was always available to confer with us on tough issues, help us with any problems and encourage us in our work with the paper. His support has meant a great deal to the stability and credibility of the Hilltop. Last and definitely not least, is our staff. A paper is only as good as its reporters, pho tographers, cartoonists, typists make it. We have been blessed with a staff who cares about the paper, and who wanted to see the paper progress. Individual thanks are not possible, for so many people made the paper what it is this year. An overall thanks is due to the student body for reading it, complimenting it, and responding the way many did with letters to the editor. The students and faculty of Mars Hill College are great people to work for; we have been proud to be your Hilltop editors for the 1982-83 semester.

In negotiating tract, the Hilton stipulated that Mars Hill College must pay for any damages private rooms rented to Mars Hill students. This stipulation is not unreasonable, since college students have a reputation for causing damage However, the College, having no legal means to enforce behavior in private was unable to assume that liability. The end result was cancellation of the coi At such a late date, McConnell Gym was our only alternative. ^ The situation left the Student Government Association with quite a dilen''”^’.j|, I think they are to be congratulated for making the best of a bad situation- hours after the cancellation of our contract, plans for the transformation of O’Brien th' nell Gym were rolling!
