Page Four THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA I Letters To The I Editor Dear Editor: As I go from class to class and find myself engaging in informal chats with various types of stu dents I always detect a very un pleasant note in the conversation. Someone invariably introduces a discussion on the awfulness and terrifying backwardness of our school’s administration. Although some may hate to face the facts and painful truth, perhaps it is better that we may know the worst and so provide for the gen eral betterment. In the plainest, most daring language that comes to my mind just now, we are indeed the most ungrateful and the least loyal of any student body in the state, ac cording to a general concensus of opinion. On my visits to my home and other places I am constantly as sailed with jibes that have refer ence to our relationship with the college and its general set-up. If I offer argument for certain regulations which have become stabilized here, I am invariably reminded of the testimonials of other students who have little enough pride to voice their pre judices and make known their discontent because of certain con ditions here at school that are not in coordination with their own opinions. Certainly this does not support the standards which have been imbedded in Mars Hill’s reputation as one of the nation’s outstanding junior colleges. I agree that Mars Hill may not be termed as a paradisg by those who seek the satisfaction of phy sical desires, but Mars Hill’s pur pose is that of education as should be that of other institutions. If we must search for the appeasement of “swing-thirst” and a general good time, we should confine our searches to the streets of hilarity and gaiety. Mars Hill was created for those who seek a higher edu cation and it should continue to remain as such. Students, let us keep Mars Hill on the higher plane and suffer it not to undergo such a degradation as would defeat its purpose! We can do it by displaying our loy alty, devotion, and unitary co operation to those ideals which make up the Mars Hill we have today! —Kays Gary. The Club has been studying vari ous aspects of world movement this school term, and this dis cussion fitted well into the se quence. The program consisted of a four parts: Foundations, by Bill Angell; Founders and The ories, by J. E. Tate; Present Status, Worth Grant; and Ef fects on Democracy, by Dorothy Drake. Each part was followed by a group discussion as is the custom. The Club elected new officers for the spring term. They are: president, J. E. Tate; vice-presi dent, Worth Grant; and secretarj^ and treasurer, Betty Thompson. Plans were discussed for a trip to the I. R. C. Regional Conference to be held at William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Va. That Conference will be held April 6-8, and several members plan to at tend. The Club was royally enter tained at the home of Dean Carr, and a delightful evening was en joyed by all.

I.R.G. Presents Program On Totalitarianism The International Relations Club met Tuesday night, and a very interesting program on Totalitarianism was presented. Carl Carter, former Mars Hill student, is owner and manager of the new Modern Shoe Rebuilders shop which will open in the build ing opposite the Sinclair service station on Main street here Tues day. The equipment of the new shop which Mr. Bryson Tilson, of the college, helped to install, is as modern as any to be found any where. A man of many years ex perience will do all the work. Mr. Carter, when asked about his new business, stated, “Give us a try is all we ask.” Euthalian Contest Won By Kays Gary Showing careful preparation, seven speakers competed in the annual Euthalian declamation contest last Friday night.
