Page Two THE HEiTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL. N. C. Octobe^r 25. 195( Pope Pius XII The Roman Catholics of the world recently met the end of an era in the death of Pope Pius XII at the age of 82. He was the Holy See of the world’s half billion Roman Catholics for the past twenty years. The late Pontiff took a complete world view of his mission, giving the Vatican a great impact in many fields. Pius XII directed the affairs of his great religious empire through World War II, the Korean War, and into the “cold war.” He had not only the spiritual leadership that is required, but also an ability to under stand politics. There were some cases in which Pius XII took great caution to keep the Church out of politics. There were others in which he intervened directly. The United States does not exchange ambassadors with the Vatican, and in our nation Pius XII sought to keep the Church out of politics. In the case of Argentina he excommunicated Peron when Peron came in conflict with the Church in Argentina. The head of the Vatican must of necessity be a statesman, an administrator, a politician, a theologian and a man of charm. The late Pope impressed many people as all of these. The question of who will be the next Pope is now being decided. Technically speaking, any male Catholic over the age of 7 may be elected Pope. Yet for the past 580 years only cardinals have been elected, and for 436 years only Italian cardinals have reigned. Whoever the next Pope may be, the late Pius XII will be remem bered as a great Pope. Litterbugs Plague Us You walk along happily to class. The sun is shining; it’s a beautiful day. You lift your eyes to gaze over the campus. Sud denly, you slip on a rotten apple core lying in your path. Slowly you get up off the ground and begin to retrieve your scattered books, when you notice that a half empty milk carton has leaked all over your new red Lit book which happened to fall near it. Disgusted, you look around you. The hill of bright green grass to your left is marred by crumpled wads of noteb^ook paper. A dirty Kleenex lies near a water fountain. Chewing gum and candy wrappers lie in gay profusion among the colored leaves. Not a step away from any of these refuse heaps is a large ample trash can just made for the stuff. Under the abella hedges you notice an unnecessary surplus of dirty paper cups that have been deposited there for unknown purposes. Near the edge of the hedge are several mashed ice cream cones—minus the ice cream. A cloud has definitely crossed your horizon. A cloud caused by utter thoughtlessness and disregard. Our campus is noted for its beauty. Must we allow this reputa tion to go to the rubbish pile? Be on the look-out for litterbugs, and if you spot one about to mar the scenery, kindly point out the nearest trashcan. Litterbugs are criminals of the worst sort. Above all, don’t you be guilty! In Appreciation . . . Things are looking brighter these days . . . around campus, that is. The freshly painted walls of offices and halls in the Spil- man annex, the neatly trimmed shrubbery and climbing ivy, the clean stone work at the entrances to the girls’ dormitories, the new steps at dormitories and cafeteria—these and other improve ments add to the beauty of the campus. As we go to press the maintenance men are busily planting a white pine hedge to screen our front lawn from the backs of business buildings. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Mr. Tilson and his men for their constant effort to make permanent improve ments in the appearance of our campus. Let’s show our apprecia tion by taking the best possible care of our surroundings. PLAIN LIVING AND HIGH THINKING Published by the Students of Mars Hill College Hilltop y/AXC.

Deter mined to have social life even if she couldn’t afford the cafe teria price, our heroine—armed with lunch bag—joined her friends for the noon day meal. All eyes were turned toward the brave lass as she withdrew from her bag a can of pork and beans (plus of course, a can opener), an apple, and a cher ished (though stale) piece of homemade cake. The limit was reached, however, when a help ful friend carried her bowl of beans to the kitchen to have them heated 1 Another incident occurring in the same general locality was the result of the combined efforts of an unsuspecting farm er and several adventuresome college men.

It is the story of a Naval officer who, because of his Quaker upbringing, doubts that he will be able to perform his military duties under fire. An inner conflict in his personal life also comes to the screen.

Bowden Presents Library Painting Miss Beulah Bowden has pre sented the library with a beau tiful oil painting of O. Henry’s home near Weaverville. Miss Bowden was the first librarian and a teacher for many years here at Mars Hill College. Three of our library staff are attending the Southeastern Li brary Association in Louisville, Kentucky, this week. They are Miss Edna Eaves, Miss Ann Dacus, and Robert Coley. Because of the splendid co operation in the library, we have been able to get more work done on the vertical file and we have it ready for your use weeks earlier than antici pated. The vertical file is organized in the gray filing cabinets be hind the reserve desk. It con tains valuable up-to-date ma terials on various subjects in the form of clippings, pamphlets, booklets, pictures, maps, etc., filed in folders by subjects. Note the list of subjects in a drawer of the small card catalog by the reserve desk. These folders may be used in the reading room only. Students who have studied their Library Handbook are getting more out of their assign ments and are making better grades. Fruitland Baptist Assembly.

Tempo Picks Up! Instead of the usual feeling of melancholy generally asso ciated with the falling of leaves an increased tempo of activities and excitement have come to Mars Hill. Visits from long-un seen parents, mountainside breakfasts, and long afternoon hikes are just a few of the ex cuses used by students to find time to view God’s handiwork in the form of beautiful autumn leaves. As the leaves continue to fall, society vice-presidents will be gin anniversary and reception preparations in earnest, skating will become a more popular pastime, snow ball fights will become a reality and the inevit able exams will come into view.
