MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, MAY 18, 1931. NO. 14. The New Staff On Monday night, May 4, the new Hilltop staff took their places and the old staff, after wishing the new members god speed, gave up theirs. The newly elected staff consists of Mar ion Justice, editor; Catharine Curl and Madge Myers, associate editors; Bomar Lawrence, business manager; Sarah Fox, relig ious editor; Martha Stack, society and clubs editor; A. P. God win, intercollegiate editor; Sam Justice, sports editor; Hubert Smith, circulation manager, and Theodore Cutchins, typist. We, the new staff, take up our responsibilities with much of the feeling of unworthiness and humbleness. We realize how great is our task in order to uphold the standards and ideals that the old staff has put forth. It is the earnest desire of every mem ber to do his best toward making The Hilltop as successful as it has been during the past year. With your co-operation and sup port, fellow students, our plans and purpose will not be in vain. C. C. Those who have gone out through the portals of Mars Hill, taken col lectively, would populate a good- sized city. It is impossible to enume rate the entire retinue; suffice it to list those who are now engaged in teaching, in theological pursuits, or in the public service.

OF SrUDENT5 BYST/tTFS mo-1951 sac d nte Le fra The Hilltop Policy The policy of The Hilltop for the coming year will undergo no drastic or radical changes. It will continue to be as it has been in the past, a policy that will promote, foster, and proclaim, always, the best interests of the college. By best interests we do not mean that we shall write only those flowery compliments and bring to light only those parts of the machine that are run ning smoothly. No, by fostering the best interests of the school we mean taking a definite stand and facing squarely all those is sues which are sure to arise during the year, and by throwing all the light and evidence possible on the subject in question, in order that no party concerned may be left in the dark as to just what the other party (and The Hilltop, for that matter,) thinks about it. It is a known fact that on our campus, as well as on other campuses, there is a wide gap. a line, that is drawn between the faculty and the students and that (although the statement is not entirely true) “it is impossible to please both the faculty and the sudents. Just what is the source and cause of this situation? This is one of the problems that the editorial columns of The Hilltop will help solve in the ensuing year. So, a part of our 1931-’32 aim will be, through a policy of fair- ness, impartiality, and open frankness, to unearth, dig out, and get at the very heart and bottom of the petty and more serious difficulties that arise between the faculty and students, and to promote a better feeling of co-operation, in order that we may work in harmony toward a common and definite good, S.M.J. The Old Staff Their work done faithfully and unstintingly, the old staff moves on to greater and more difficult tasks, leaving us at the helm, with the challenge to keep The Hilltop ever to the right course and a clear eye ahead for the vicissitudes of journalistic weather. We know these old members on the campus by their friendly personalities, popularity, and high scholarship and ideals; but we know them best by the splendid editions of the paper they have served. The retiring staff met the new one in the Students’ Publica tions Office, where each member gave welcome advice and in struction to his successor. In our deep appreciation for the mem orable associations with these students, we reluctantly take their places, knowing that it will be a test to maintain their standard. It is with sadness that we approach the time when reverently and humbly we must take down from the office walls The Hill tops for 1930 - ’31, with the prayer that in the year to come these walls may retain their proud dignity as they are papered anew by the hands of the beginning staff. M.M. B. S. U. Council Is Inducted Into Office Impressive Ceremony Is Held at Cha- pel as New Officers As sume Duties. Monday, May 4, one of the most impressive programs of the year, that of the installation of the new B. S. U. Council, was given. Corresponding offi'cers of the old and new Councils marched to the stage together from the rear of the auditorium, singing, ‘Tather of Lights.” As they marched in one observed that the old members’ Council lighted candles. After each one had taken his place on the stage, Val Edwards, president of the old Council, approached the center of the stage to read the Scripture, after which Mr. Blackwell led in prayer. Val Edwards then gave a short talk in which he impressed the responsi bility of being a member of the B. S. U. CouncU. The talk was addressed to H. Clay Cox, president for the coming year. The new president made a reply in which he pledged to carry on the light. After Val gave H. Clay his insig- ciology. University of New Hamp shire, Durham, N. H. Arnold K.
