Fellow students, we have recently been given an opportunity to contribute to the completing of the swimming pool. This has died away, and now the "TllrotS'caTwasl^rur'gl^ this one is urgent and imperative, for our dear old Alma Mater is vitally involved. The situation is dimply this Mars Hill College is at present a member of the Southern Association o T • V Pollee’es In order for Mars Hill to remain a member of this associa tion it is necLsary for her to raise $75,000 for an endowment. If this amount is not raised by next June, Mars Hill may be dropped from this organization. WM. do„Ibt Si.p.y .hi,' .h, ra.1.. . .he -th ".her tutions will not be so good as it has been heretofore. This will be » terribi blL for the institution, for it has just convinced tbe higher schools o learning that the work done here is as good if not better than that o s T>€r cent of tli6 otlicr irvstitutions. ^ Now, fellow students the question for us to face is this: Are we ^ ^ allow the standards of the institution to be lowered by her being dropped from this organization; or are we going to lend a helping hand Luse and thus help the offiicials of the college to keep her on the list of accredited schools. This is a question which each of us should consi e ‘’'^Moth:? sSon and several of the boys have devised a Plan whereby they believe the money can be raised. It provides that each student shall col^rhi, or her ,L„ deposi. .„d, i. edd.ti.n *» who are not connected with the school to give a similar amount. There in y be those who disapprove of this plan. If there are, will they suggest how the Ld^wment campaign should be launched. Mr. Moore ^vlll greatly appreciate any suggestion from students or ousiders. „rr,rH to Now^the question boils itself down to this: Can we as students afford let our’ school be dropped from the association? If she is, it will lower t aW of the instftution in the minds of a great many people and this will make it harder for us to enter other institutions as^weli as being a destructive backward step for the school. Thus you see iL cl t imperative, and it is expedient that we cooperate in his worthy cause s^eTs not h;ve any bolters, excuse makers, indifferent ones, and non-contributors; but let all be 100 per cent in supporting this vital cause. What do you say? Can you be depended upon for your hearty support. This being the last issue of the Hilltop before the high school declamation contest we want to urge that every student attend the contest. It isn t muc Pleasure speaking to empty benches, and, if the attendance is large, the speakers will probably do much better. Let’s treat our visitors right and then perhaps they will want to come and see us again. Maybe they will 1 m"s Hit! so well that they will come here to college. Who knows? U-t s show them the real Mars Hill spirit anyway. From certain reports Mrs. Rampey is getting entirely too free with the library keys, at least that is what one of our visitors from Furman was heard to' mutter. The principal amusement nowadays in the infirmary is electric lights. Faculty Recital Brilliant Success Program One of Grandeur Charm and FORUM The faculty of the music and ex pression departments gave their an nual recital Saturday evening, Decem ber 8. It w'as a huge success. All demonstrated the high quality of vir tuosity that they have reached and set a high standard for the students to strive for in their attainments. The audience was completely swept away and carried in mind and spirit from the sunny lands of Spain to the snow white plains of Norway; from the scenes of our childhood to an im aginative future; and from a love af fair of the tenth century England to one of the present day. Dear Mr. Editor, It seems that the girls of our in stitution are under the impression that they have too few privileges. Especially did I notice this while reading the plea of one of them for abolishing the necessity of having to pay the fare of a chaperone to and from Asheville in order that they might spend a week-end at home or go home for the holdiays. Since I am of the masculine per suasion, it appears that it would be out of place for me to have a voice in the matter; but justice is justice to whomever it is given. I must say that I can see very little use of pay ing a chaperone’s transportation when there is no immediate cause or reason. I am of the opinion that a Kathleen Bennett, who gave 1 ‘ “Mother’s Glasses.” France sang “Think of Me Thin You,” thus impersonatig Gene Robert Burns was charactel Ruby Fowler. Irene Strom wa cal Galli-Curci, singing one favorite encores, “Coming Rye.” Juliete McCorkle rea Masque of the Red Death, ’ I Allen Poe. Last but not le progrram "was a saxaphone so ody in E.

If that be true, they should ceitainly be able to ac “ept slTdegtee ot res'onsibillty. It is e.si.t to accept a cettau, amount ol responsibility, however, than it is to bear up under it. Unless the rank and file of the students here at Mars Hill are able to ac cept the responsibility of student government and deal with it as it shou be dealt with, there is no hope for student government, nor would it be ad visable to attUpt it. That is the problem that faces any person or group of persons who would like to inaugurate any method of self-government on the "‘"R^VV^nsibility is closely connected with honor. In fact, no student can really accept the responsibility that wuold be placed upon him unless his code^of honor is high. That is one thing that commends the honor system as it is practiced in the colleges that have good forms of student govern- ”"^There are innumerable small things, for example, the monitors at chapel. One ofto hear, the remark, “I don't have to go to chapel; 1 know the men- itor ” Such a situation as that must be remedied before we can hope to hav an efficient system. Each boy must be bound to do his best to uphold the "les of the Institution, and the members of the student council must be respected as though they were the highest authorities on the Hil . With such a thought in mind we come to the real heart of the matter. Ca the students of this institution accept this responsibility on uphold the rules provided by the student council? If they can do that then the time is ripe for student government. Until then we had better not given any more voice in our government. ^ ^ Capel A propos Personal Conduct this year marks one hundred years since his death. Miss Diggers thrilled the audience with her second num ber, “Le Cavalier Fantastique”; which was a brilliant portrayal of a dashing cavalier. Befor e Miss Patton had sung a dozen words, she had won her audience completely with her natur ally beautiful voice and her fine in terpretation. Miss Patton climaxed her part of the program with the Nor wegian love song, “My Lover, He Comes on the Skee.” Miss Wengert read an abridgement from the libretto of “The King’s Henchman,” the only all-American opera to be awarded a great success. The libretto was written by Ameri ca’s foremost poetess, Edna St. Vin cent Millay. The music of the opera was composed by Deems Taylor, edi tor of “Musical America.” The opera has been given all over the United States with great success. Miss W'en- gert gave the reading so well that the audience thought they were witness ing a drama and not a reading. Miss Blackstock played exceeding ly w'ell the interesting Spanish num ber by Kreisler, “Fransquita.” She showed what really could be done with a violin. Miss Roland concluded and climaxed the program with a fine interpretation of Schubert’s “Hark, Hark the Lark.” one miles without someone to tell her how to act or to coach her in the art of good behavior The masses have always succeed ed in acquiring recognition.

But it did not bring results, as several are still following that trade. Some girl borrowed a dress from the room of one of the girls, but her conscience hurt her so that she decided to return it. Two of the boys have lost a watch and six dollars in the last two or three days, and the conscience of the guilty parties hasn’t hurt them to the extent that they have returned the stolen property. Now, this has reached the limit. Those who are stealing should consider the fact that they are breaking three of the vital laws of humanity —Law of God, law of the state, and law of the school. If the guily parties will only consider the seriousness of the matter, surely they will stop it. If they will, this campus will certainly be a better place in which to live. On the other hand, if the guilty parties do not stop voluntarily, it remains for us to make a close check up, and kick the reprobates out, for we don’t need them. ^ 4. -i. 4- u Fellow students, we can make this campus just what we want it to be, provided we want to bad enough. Would not our stay here be much more pleasant if there were no rogues? Then everyone could keep his door un locked at all times and would not be uneasy about losing things all the time; but as it is now, it is necessary to lock the door every time one leaves the room. Can’t we improve this situation. Let’s make Mars Hill dormitories and campus an ideal place in which to live. We can do it by being congenial and Dr. H. T. Hunter, who was reared near Mars Hill and graduated here in 1907, has been president of Cullo- whee for five years, during which time this junior college has much im proved, it now being a member of the National Asssociation of Teach ers’ Colleges.
