:$pilman Area
Begins New Life
The worn and creaking boards
I the lower floor of Spilman have
;hoed under the tread of genera-
ons of Mars Hill students and
iapted themselves to the succes-
ve uses of the area. Once again
te floor has undergone a trans-
5rmation.
^ For many years the part which
r^ow houses offices was a dining
^ all and the kitchen occupied the
’pace that is now Mr. Tilson’s
Ifice and the workshops of the
maintenance department. Student
neals in Spilman dining hall were
ike a family meal. Dishes of food
vere placed on the tables and
mssed from student to student.
^an t you imagine the dishes at
I table occupied by ten husky
/oung men ?
Students soon began overflow
ing the dining hall, and our pres-
'ent cafeteria was built to take
care of them. The bottom floor of
Spilman was not destined to a
life of uselessness, however. Soon
the former dining hall was par
titioned off from the kitchen and
books replaced dishes as the space
became a part of the library, con
taining the reserve books and the
magazines and newspapers.
This arrangement eventually
proved inadequate, and our beau
tiful new library was built. Again
the space was vacant—for a short
period. Then a few teachers
placed desks here and there and
improvised office space admidst
the general confusion. The past
summer the maintenance depart
ment’s carpenters, painters, and
moving men began operations. The
space was soon transformed into
a neat and orderly layout of of
fices.

Eisenhower Wins
In Student Eleetion
Dwight D. Eisenhower is the
favorite presidential candidate of
Mars Hill students, as was indi
cated in a recent mock poll con
ducted on campus.
Eisenhower, the Republican
nominee, received a two to one
majority over the Democratic can
didate, Adlai Stevenson, in a bal
loting held October 12. Of a
total 702 votes cast, Eisenhower
copped 465 to Stevenson’s 224.
Thirteen ballots were marked
with “write in” selections. These
included Truman, Talmadge, Bul
ganin, and others.
Tabulations reveal that 303
girls and 382 boys on the current
student roster participated in the
election. Seventeen faculty and
staff members cast ballots.
The mock election was spon
sored by the Hilltop in conjunc
tion with a college tri-state poll
promoted by the Davidsonian of
Davidson College. Newspapers of
87 colleges and universities co
operated. These publications rep
resent well over 75,000 students
in Virginia, North Carolina, and
South Carolina.
Data of the returns gathered by
individual schools was sent to
Davidson to be compiled. Overall
results will be returned to par
ticipating schools for publication
in their respective papers.
This survey has been furthered
in the belief that significant trends
may be indicated in a representa
tive cross-section of college opinion.
