Your Defense- Armies are on the march as large notions are using force to subdue small nations into a state of servitude. But as the war goes on we cannot help admiring the spirit of England and the small nations as they fight for the thing in which they believe. As we look to the nations that crumble inwardly and were conquered, a feeling of pity goes out to them. We cannot help wondering if the United States is to fall in the same way. Can the nation we believe in, belong to, and love be conquered by on ■outside force of today? Almost without hesitation every one soys NOI If not then that is not the real danger. Like other nations, however, the United States COULD be conquered by the corruption of interior forces. Could we not say this about each individual—especially Americans? Just as dangerous and destructive to the individual is the corruption of evil forces working not from the outside but from the inside. Like tiny germs that wait for the time when the resistance is lowered to do their damage, the small things in our lives con in time be as dangerous and destructive. Why not be true to yourselves—make your decisions while on the mountain tops of your life and live up to them. Believe in your self and your dreams and make them come true. Doing this, you will never fear invasion from the outside or within. You will be fortified and prepared. G. D. Cure Spring Feverl- "Hair" do you do. If you don't catch that pun, forget it and look at these likenesses. These pictures were taken ten years ago tomorrow; so you will have to excuse possible erosion and moth nibbles on the profiles. One is a lady who knows that "Paradise Lost" and that "Hamlet" was or wasn't. The other is as S. O. T. should be, and as S. O. T. dreams of himself. He pickles squirrels, disects dogs, suffi- cates frogs, and leaves poor defenseless hitch - hikers to shiver in the cold north wind. How About A Date? If a physician could cure spring fever, he would become a millionaire in no time. Wouldn't it be wonderful to buy vim, vigor, and vitality in capsule form when the spring of the year comes around? If one could get a mental picture of all the students on one of these warm days, he could well see some bad attacks of the dreaded disease, spring fever. Some victims look like trees in autumn that hove just shed their leaves and in whom the sap has gone down to the roots. The most drastic sufferers of the plague look like the trees in winter, asleep never to awake again. Some people may be asleep, but Mother Nature is wide awoke. Her paint brush seems to hit, and flowers of all kinds just burst, seemingly from nowhere. The trees, too, seem to put on overnight their new robes of varied shades of green. We wonder if those with the worst cases notice at all. How could they be so lifeless when everything seems to be exclaim ing, "Wake up! Spring is here!" -R. M. B. Why Lack Of Interest?- Ladies and gentlemen, you are throwing away a golden opportunity. The publications committee has asked for nomina tions for the staff of the two campus publications. The election of the Hilltop and Laurel staffs for next year is only a few weeks off and you students seems to have little interest in this election. Two weeks ago on announcement was made stating that nominations for the Hilltop staff would be received, and so for these suggestions for the positions have been rather scarce. In choosing these persons who are to put out your Laurel and Hilltop next year you should consider very carefully the necessary requirements for these positions, select people that ore capable of accepting the responsibility and hand in your nominations at once. The Hilltop and Laurel ore your publications and it is to your advantage to see that the students that you want, those students that hove the Intelligence and ability ore selected to fill these positions. —L. A. S. & G. D. Two girls expressed it this way; "I don't see why these greenhorns don't ask the girls for dates more often. Some of them act os if they never saw a woman before." "When you see the boys don't want dotes, why do you insist that they ask for them?" "Well, girls aren't like boys: I mean a boy can go any where he pleases alone and its all right, but a girl—^well it doesn't look right to see us running around alone, or with other girls, even here where everyone knows everyone else. Girls might be attractive and interesting persons, yet 'waste their beauty on the desert air.' "And what do you propose to do about it? In other words, what is the logical answer to so gargantuan a problem?" "Well the boys could ask for a dote sometimes out of com mon decency. It helps a girl's morale in a social way to bo seen with a "suit" once in while, even if he isn't a Clark Gable or a Robert Taylor." "But unfortunately all your masculine prospects aren't en dowed with an altruistic view point." "We're not asking for alms! All we wont is a chance to show the boys what good com pany we con be. We think it helps a boy's standing, also, to be seen sometimes with girls to—not to mention the improve ment of feminine influence on his personality! It's a reciprocal affair: we like to have escorts to 'goings on,' and we believe the boys would enjoy our company but conventionality requires the boys to take the initiative. We'd like to see them do it!" Open Forum ^pai Public Speaking Shows Progress (Continued from Page 1) of the Skyland Forensic Tour nament to be held in Asheville on April 19. Fifteen different schools from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia have been invited, and a large delegation is expected. All forms of public speaking will be presented with the speeches beginning at 9:00; contestants will enjoy a ban quet at 1:00 o'clock and the speaking will end at 5:00 o'clock. For the past fifty years two men's literary societies have flourished on the campus of Mars Hill. They began os small organizations but are now listed among the most im portant factors on this campus. Today, we hear a hue and cry for another society—a society that will begin from "scratch" and compete with those so cieties already established and functioning. Let us consider the reasons for the establishing of a third society. Is the true reason a lack of room in the present two? Is this lack of room the reason there are members of our stu dent body that are non-society members? I do not believe that this is the case. In the tirst place, no one is formally in vited to join a society. They join if they wish. No formal in vitations ore sent. It is open, and anybody is free to join either society. Now if these non-society students will not join the two present societies, how can we assume that they will join another society? President Lorry Williams of the Phis and President Ralph Jinnette of the Eus state that they will welcome any new members and guarantee them a seat in the halls as well as interesting programs. Then it By Teimi: is not true that the inade(Sdes of the halls prevents a gason in membership. There isacque' in both halls.
