'Phis money will go toward buy ing a new station wagon. The present “buggy” is a 1951 Chev rolet. Its condition has prevented the Mission Council from taking long trips. Just recently, they had to turn down an opportunity to go to Winston-Salem. Two methods are being used to raise the money. Students are urged to write to friends in their respective churches, and spread the news of the Mars Hill Mission Council. Many contributions will be received in this manner. In addition to that, money will be collected in the dormitories. Alden, Newman Give Piano-Violin Recital Edgar Alden and Dr. William S. Newman, artist members of the Music Department faculty of the University of North Carolina will present a violin and piano recital in the Mars Hill College auditorium tonight at 8 o’clock.

MH Recommended For Senior School One item in the recently re leased report of the Committee of 25 which is of special interest to Hillians concerns the conversion of Mars Hill to a senior college. We quote from the Biblical Re corder's reprint of the report. “The Committee recommends that North Carolina Baptist Col leges, upon a basis of criteria out lined above, plan for the future as follows: . . . “That the trustees of Mars Hill College, in the light of increased enrollment pressures, the need of a more accessable Baptist senior college in the west, the physical plant at Mars Hill, and a rel atively stable faculty. Proceed to covet the school into a senior col lege as soon as it seems desirable and possible to do so.” The Committee points out in the criteria mentioned that certain factors must be kept in mind in considering the change; inasmuch as it would be verv’ unwise to con sider converting a first-rate junior college into a second-rate senior college.” The source of increased financial support, the cost of mak ing the change, the probable in crease in enrollment, and the im portance of keeping Baptist col leges available to students of mod erate means are some of the points mentioned. Other considerations which must be faced in a possible conversion to a four-year college are meeting senior college requirements in courses available, in advanced training of faculty, in library fa cilities, in classroom and labora tory equipment, and other items. Naturally the change cannot be made overnight. If the trustees favor the idea of Mars Hill’s be coming a senior college, it will take at least a few years to work out all necessary details. Debaters Succeed At Lenoir-Rhyne Alarch 5, 6, and 7, Mars Hill College debaters attended the South Atlantic Forensics Tourna ment, which was held on the campus of Lenoir-Rhyne College.
