Page Two THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, N. C. Nov. ITS, I It’s Precious Some people complain about not having any talents; others complain about lack of money; and still others complain about lack cf beauty. We of Mars Hill may or may not be guilty of such ccmj)laints, but most of us are guilty of complaining about not having enough time. We could go cn and on moaning about the things in life which seem to be allotted unequally to people. Yet, everyone has the same amount of time. Each is given twenty-four hours a day— no more,no less. We may use only these, and there is definitely no getting an advance on the hours cf the next day. How we use our time is a matter of individual choice. Most of us who complain about our heavy, woeful load should take stock before complaining tials Offl Hats off to the pranksters who seem to have reformed this yearl Few evidences of destruc tive and mean pranks were seen in this area on the morning of November 1. What does Halloween mean to you? Does it bring to mind noise, soaped windows, and fire crackers, or costumes, false faces, carnivals, and jack-o’lanterns? For as long as most of us can remember it has been a part of Halloween tradition to play as many pranks as possible. Many people claim that they can not have any fun unless they soap windows or take part in other mean and destructive pranks. Perhaps they have never realized that the pranks which offer the most entertainment are the ones which do not harm any one or destroy anything and that do not leave a guilty feel ing after they are done. It seems that the people in this area (col lege camjnis. Mars Hill, and Asheville) have discovered this fact. year. In Sympathy The Hilltop staff, together with the entire college family, extends deepest sympathy to Robert R. Chapman, assistant to the registrar, on the passing of his father, R. R. Chapman, Sr., who died last Tuesday. Mr. Chapman was a resident of Spencer and was employed by the Southern Railway company there.

My, but aren’t our faces red when we begin adding up those min utes! Maybe it is not the hands on the clock after all—maybe it is just us. Even if we do not have time to do all we would like to do, we still must admit that we really waste useful time. It is said that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. This may be true, but there is hardly any real danger around Mars Hill. We must remember that everything has a price. If we play when we should be work ing, then that “F” is the price we must pay; therefore, have we really any right to be com plaining? We must not pay too high a price for fun. We must be careful not to shortchange ourselves. ips SIS:} li Here cn campus the students donned their costumes and ex erted their ingenuity in produc ing skits at a Halloween carni val. Those who didn’t partici pate in the skits made enough noise as they clapped and yelled for the contestants for king and queen, from whom Kay Wells and Mr. Robertson were chosen to reign as our own King and Queen of Halloween. Most of us had laughed so much that we had little energy left for meanness. After hungrily eating the delicious gingerbread made" by Miss Caroline and Mother Sparks, we returned to our dormitories. Other than short-sheeting roommate’s beds, few pranks were played. I heard that a few cars were locked in garages to avoid being soaped. Oh, well, everyone can’t be expected to reform, although a sincere effort has been made. One of our New Year’s resolu tions can be to try having fun next Halloween without being destructive. We succeeded this Ninetccn-Ycar-Old Korean Girl Is Recent Addition to Student Body Mars Hill has had a recent ad dition to the student body. This addition is none other than Susie C. Kim from Seoid, Korea. Nineteen-year-old Susie plans to be in America for six to eight years. Two of these years will be spent at Mars Hill where she is taking the pre-medical course. After finishing at Mars Hill, Susie plans to attend a senior college, become a medical mis sionary, and return to Korea to serve her people. She hasn’t de cided definitely what ‘School she will attend next, but she is thinking about going to Ohio to study. In connection with working as a medical missionary, she hopes to work with orphanages if pos sible. She says that the needs of her people are great. They lack even essential food and clothing. She states that a pair of oxfords, such as are worn on campus, would cost about $20 in Korea. Susie is delighted with her first pair of hose and dress shoes which she purchased recently in Asheville. First Impressions Susie’s conception of America was a land of big tall buildings; therefore, she was greatly disap pointed when she got to Long Beach and the fog was so thick that she couldn’t see anything. She likes the “big mountains,” but definitely dislikes the food of Americans. She prefers vege tables to the meat which Ameri cans seem to love. She does, however, think that ice cream and cokes are wonderful. One of the sights she thrilled to most on her arrival in America was the sight of the big super mar kets with great shelves of green things to eat. Susie was in Seoul when the North Koreans invaded the city, and with other refugees she Hill Topi« .test! Pictured is Susie C. Kim, holding the desk plaque, of ebony, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, which her mother made and sent to Dr. Black- well. lived in hiding under houses for 40 days before she was able to make her escape. At one time she went without food for 10 days. Susie certainly appreciates the advantages offered by the .\mer- ican schools. She says that only the rich attend school in Korea and then the school facilities are very poor. Susie finished high school but was forced to quit after two months of college be cause the communists took over the schools and other large buildings. Huyler Sponsors Colonel Frank Huyler, father of Mars Hill’s Nancy Huyler, is Susie’s official sponsor. Colonel Huyler met Susie when she was employed at the Air Force head quarters in the photography la boratory. It was here that she learned to speak the English language so well. Colonel Huy ler decided that a person with Susie’s ability should be given opportunities; therefore he is making it possible for her to at tend school. Colonel Huyler’s action resulted in other officers sending other students to school. At present there are four boys and two other girls studying in America because of such spon sorship. An investigation which lasted six or seven months was con ducted before it was possible for Susie to leave for Mars Hill. This was the reason for her de lay in enrolling. It took her one month actually to complete the trip which was made by shin and j)lane. * Susie has three brothers but no sisters. Two of her brothers are attending college in England and the other is in the armed service of Korea. Her father is a high official of the Korean ministry of defense and is in India on a government mission.
