Page Two THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL, NORTH CAROUNA Small Fry o By Orville Campbell I HAVE BEEN REQUESTED to ask the upperclassman to re frain from selling gullible fresh men parts of the campus. There was much confusion last Friday when one misled Frosh ordered the Dean to vacate his office by the first of the week, or else. Ah, and such a young freshman, too. Win Debating Honors THIS COULDN’T BE A LOCAL football broadcast but still this is how some of them do sound over the radio. “Folks, we are about to start the second half of the game be tween Iron Station and the powerful Hog Callers from Ar kansas. The Iron Clad lads had a few bad breaks in the first half and are trailing 110 or 20 to 0. But here’s the kickoff! (Wasn’t that the kickoff, Paul?) Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it was the kickoff and it was received by No-nox, who ran wild clear up to the fifteen. “It’s a quick kick. It goes 16- 20-30 rows up in section H. It is caught by a spectator, who goes all the way down to exit 11 be fore he is finally stopped by four ushers. A Iron Station alumnus returns the ball to the field. Everyone is yelling! It is the first Iron Station return of a punt this year! The ball is now on the Hog Callers 19.138 yard line. The shift is to the right, or is that the left, Paul. I can’t see my vaccination. Just a minute, ladies and gentle men, we’ll get the shift for you. Paul, my helper, wasn’t even vaccinated but he has gone out into the press box to find out just which way that shift went. Oh, by the way, Arkansas made a touchdown on that play, and the twenty remaining spectators are holding up their card game long enough to clap. The score is now —that is —just a minute—what is the score, Paul. You’ve lost count and you didn’t bring the adding machine. Just like an assis tant. Well, anyway the score is increasing by six or seven; I don’t know if they made the extra point or not. “There seems to be some con fusion now. Both teams are walk ing off the field. I’ll turn you over to Vimin Smixty, who has a microphone down on the field. Take it away, Vimin. “Ladies and gentlemen, I have called the referee over to explain to you about the game. O. K., Mr. Referee.” “Well, folks, the game has been called by mutual consent of the teams. Captain Running Water of the Hog Callers has an eai'ly date and as long as they are now serv ing supper at 5 :30 at Iron Station, why go on playing? Nobody knew why they should go on (some did not know why they started); so they quit. No, Smixty, I don’t know the score. Ask the field judge—he majored in math. That was Referee Pen L. Ize folks. Now we are going to inter view the remaining spectator. He is a tall, handsome looking fellow and should have a nice comment to make. He must be from Arkansas because he is all smiles. “What did you think of the game, kind sir?” “I didn’t come here to see the game. I am a private detective hired by the jealous wife of Iron Station’s fullback to watch him wherever he goes. He didn’t go anywhere this afternoon. Eleven Ministerial Group Hear Interesting Talks At Meeting Our own Daphne Penny (left), and Horace Chamblee (right), recently won debating honors at the Strawberry Leaf tournament held at Winthrop college.

According to a state ment by Mr. Huff the debaters and speakers showed much im provement, and he is expecting them to make a splendid showing during the oncoming year. Glee Club Broadcast Is Very Successful Another laurel was added to the glee club yesterday afternoon when 20 members took part in a very delightful Christmas broad cast over radio station WWNC, Asheville. Members of the glee club taking part included: Elizabeth Coppedge, Helen Trentham, Mary Padgett, Sara Oren, Gretchen Johnson, Mary Ruth Hardy, Eliza beth Hines, Horace Small, Bill Avera, Sam Smith, Bill Daniels, Louise Moore, Mary Fowler, Emma Weatherly, Jaunita Ross, Mickey Mitchem, J. R. Evans, Bill Baucom, Roger Bell and Horace Chamblee. Miss Ellison, director of the glee club, also took part. The glee club broadcast was the last of the series that Mars Hill has presented over WWNC during the fall. Presenting a research paper on “Preaching in the New Day,” Worth Grant spoke to the Minis terial Conference at its regular meeting December 8. This paper was one of a series of informative talks being given the conference during the fall and winter. On Thanksgiving evening, No vember 24, the conference met at the home of Pastor and Mrs. W. L. Lynch. Robert Seig spoke on the “Minister and His Prayer Life” at this meeting. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. Following this meeting Dr. Eliz abeth Rutherford gave a very in teresting discussion before the conference on “The Church and the Home” in relation to manners and customrs. All of these talks will be brought to a climax tonight by a message on “Witnessing for Christ” by W. R. Wagoner. Such messages have proved very fruit ful to members of the conference; and President Bob Murphy and his committee have planned the programs in such a way that they are fitting the needs of all of the members.

Dr. Spillman Delivers Helpful Chapel Talk other fellows were watching him too.” Well, folks, that’s all for today; tune in next Saturday and hear a play-by-play description of the year’s biggest game, which will be played in this stadium. Highlight University will tackle I. Phillip Space University.. These two ball clubs have been unable to break into the win column this year but a gale is promised in this game. Thanks for listening, and when you want the facts on a foot ball game, tune in on station N.O.I.S.Y. and let your favorite radio announcer, I. M. Awful, give them to you. Dr. B. W. Spillman, one of the finest and dearest friends of Mars Hill college, delivered a most helpful talk to the student body last week at the regular chapel sei-vice. Dr. Spillman used as his text Proverbs 27:17 which reads as follows: He that passeth by, and meddleth with string belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. Throughout his talk he told anecdotes to prove his points and this kept the interest of the stu dents at a high pitch. His radiant and bountiful personality also added to his speech. Dr. Spillman has given much to Mars Hill. It was he who gave the money to build “Old Treat”, the wooden structure on the west end of the campus that was recently torn away. Later, when plans were made for the present day Spillman Home, Dr. Spillman gave one thousand dollars. This check was the nucleus on which the building was established. I Gross Bros. Restaurant “Good Pood in a Clean Place” PACK SQ. ASHEVILLE Average College Student Has Five Driving Forces ITHACA, N. Y.—(AGP)—The five driving forces in the daily life of the average college stu dent have been charted by Cornell University’s Dr. Julian L. Wood ward after an extensive research into campus social life. These driving forces are: “the drive for prestige; the need to release tremendous energy by doing things and going places; the wish to achieve independence from home ties and be recognized as an adult; the problem of relationship with the other sex, and finally the planning for adult life.” Dr. Woodward also determined how students rate the prestige of other students. He found that a male student rates prestige by “which fraternity he belongs to; his campus offices and the teams he makes; his smoothness, a com pound of clothes, car and ‘line’; and farther down the list his grades, more as an index of in telligence than of culture.” Women students rate each oth er “first by sorority, then by date rating, a compound of the ability to be invited out frequently and the prestige of the men who date them; then by college activities, and finally by grades as a mark of intelligence.” trumpet; W’illiam “Jiggs” I on the baritone; William on the clarinet; and E Charles on the trumpet.
