Page Two THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C. JanI961 Display Your Talents! Try Original Writing Among the eleven hundred students enrolled in Mars Hill Col lege there are surely a great number of persons who enjoy writing and who would be interested in having their talents displayed to their fellow students. The Hilltop staff tries to keep this idea in mind as we select the articles for the literary edition which is published every spring. Heretofore each student has been required to write an original paper in English class and the teachers have submitted the best papers to the Hilltop staff. The best and most original of these papers have been used in the literary edition. This year the Hilltop has decided to change its policy, chiefly because we feel that material submitted has not been as good as students at Mars Hill are capable of writing. Perhaps one does better writing un der inspiration than by assignment! Previously papers have been too often just another English paper to be graded and given credit. This type of work is not what the staff is looking for. We want original papers that were written because the authors want to write and enjoy doing them. The Hilltop is looking for variety and originality. The entries which are submitted can be poems, short stories, editorials, original jokes or chuckles, or any other type of literature. They must be relatively short, because of limitations of space. Deadline is Feb ruary 20. When you get exams off your mind, see what you can think of that you would like to see in print. Exams! Not So Bad As They May Seem Droopy eyes! Fingernails gone! Frantic looks on faces! Yes, these are all signs of exams, which are upon the students of Mars Hill once again. Freshmen are feverishly worried about the hygiene exam — the one course they thought would be a crip, but found out differently. Sophomores are wondering if they will be able to scrap up enough hours and Q. P.’s to graduate, and teachers are wondering if they will ever get all the papers graded before exams. Everyone is wondering if he will ever find time to study every thing before the final hour. During exam week everyone finds he has more time on his hands (out of class), but all this time must be used wisely and constructively. With careful and thought ful planning, each person will find that he has plenty of time to study, with a little left over for short bull sessions. Keep in mind that exams only last five days (less for some of us), and then once more we can relax. Exams, which are thought to be so much harder than they really are, which are talked about so much more than they are studied for, which are dreaded so much more than they should be — they are here — Good Luck! exams Live For Today Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair . It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.—Ralph Waldo Emerson.

PRESS Volume XXXV January 14, 1961 Number 7 LISTEN FUND Aids World Needs The LISTEN (Love Impels Sacrifice Toward Every Need) campaign is a program of mis sionary education and concern originated by North Carolina Baptist students seven years ago. During these years emphasis has been placed on learning more about technical, medical, spirit ual and educational needs of peoples throughout the world. Students have also emphasized developing genuine Christian concern through which they can help meet some of these needs. A few of the needs in thirty-five countries and territories have been met with the |22,773.79 given by students through LIS TEN. This year the LISTEN budget calls for $4,500.00 which will be spent for summer missions, a skin grafting machine for an African hospital, rice for one hundred children in Hong Kong, education in India and several other projects. Summer missionaries will be sent to Alas ka, Illinois and the Fort Bragg area, and students who are in terested in these programs can secure applications from Dr. Ella J. Pierce. At Mars Hill this year the treasurer of the Baptist Student Union, Sam Beard, is the cam- pus-wide LISTEN chairman. There is a LISTEN chairman for each of the dormitories; these chairmen are Wanda Wal ters, Huffman; Mary Thore, Stroup; Virginia Webb, Edna Moore; Cecelia Rigsbee, Treat; Ken Roberson, Spillman; Bill Deans, Myers; Coolidge Porter field, Melrose; and Richard Wil liams, Brown. On the first Wednesday night of each month these chairmen are responsible for making a LISTEN collection in their respective dormitories. This month’s collections amounted to forty dollars, which brought the total for this school year to $201.16. By the end of the year we hope to exceed the $292.00 which was collected last Students Receive Faculi With Enthusiastic AppP The annual faculty play, “George Washington Sk presented on the Saturday night of January 7 in tin torium.

The admini stration and faculty are work ing toward the necessary on-cam- pus adjustments. The State Baptist Convention will call this spring a special session to make plans for financing expansion in the Baptist colleges. Lee Makes Statement Dean R. M. Lee, in an official statement says, “The Baptist State Convention in session in Asheville on November 16, 1960, approved recommendations of the general board for Mars Hill to convert to a senior college. The committee responsible for the planning of the program is working constantly on the curri culum and taking other steps necessary to the new setup. year. “Present plans call for the ad dition of the third year of col lege work in September, 1962, and the fourth in 1963. These plans would enable present freshmen to become the first graduating class. “The faculty of the college has been divided into commit tees. Each committee is charged with the responsibility of setting up a certain portion of the four year program. When complet ed, all plans will be presented to the central committee for ap proval.’’ Sparklers on their Fingers Put Stars in Ten Girls'Epes STAFF Editor-in-Chief Bobbie Shiplett Sports Editor Morris Mason Assistant Sports Editor Dave Beck Girls’ Sports Editor Jean Yoder Advertising Manager Mayon Weeks Co-Circulation Managers Lillian Robinson, Ron Carpenter Assistants Ken Huneycutt, C.

Christmas is the season of love and happiness. This year ten boys took advantage of this fact by declaring their love and mak ing ten girls happy. Each of the ten returned to Mars Hill with sparkles in her eyes and on her hand that would make the brightest Christmas tree dec orations look dim. Girls who received engage ment rings are Patsy Clark, Lynn Mesnig, Virginia Webb, Judy Swift, Janice McGrady, Elbe Moore, Ruth Lairscey, Ruth Ann Carter, Barbara Wells, and Bette Kelley. Two of the girls inherited the family stone of their fiances. Barbara Wells and Judy Swift each received a stone which has been in the young man’s family for three and four generations respectively. Benny Candler and William Whitaker are two Mars Hill boys who are responsible for the sparkles in the eyes of Lynn Mesnig and Virginia Webb. Ruth Carter is engaged to Max Lennon, who attended MH last year.

The stones vary in size and shape, but the majority of the girls have solitaires. A few of the girls are planning June wed dings; however, most have not made definite plans. They agree that it is better to wait until they finish school. Of course the remaining Mars Hill girls are not “old maids”. Many are going steady and some are pinned. The latter state is often considered a temporary en gagement until a ring can be af forded. Many Mars Hill boys are probably engaged to girls back home or at other schools. However, it is not as easy to learn the status of the boys as it is to look at the third finger, left hand of a girl and see the story.
