Page Two THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C. May 19. ^ 19. 19B From Cuts To Apes ■■A Frank Reply The article entitled “From Cuts to Apes We Miss the Point,” May 5 issue of the Hilltop, has interested me to the point that I would like to make a few comments concerning it. Perhaps I am wrong, but I do not believe that the norm of every editorial is to criticize as many things as possible because just one issue remains to be printed. Perhaps we shouldn’t be so quick to criticize others before we criticize ourselves. Within the last few weeks there has been a great deal of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth because someone has used up his allotted cuts and then made the fatal mistake to sleep late. As I have said before I am probably wrong but I personally see nothing wrong with this system. Let me explain. We are now college students and not grammar school children. I know the word “responsibility” is frowned upon by many, but it is our responsibility to get to class on time. Within a short time we will be out in a world crammed with responsibilities. Can you imagine how ridiculous it would sound if you had a 9:00 o’clock business appointment and at 10:00 you appeared with the excuse that no one woke you. Try telling that to an old army drill sergeant! Mars Hill used to subtract points from the final grade, but that plan was abandoned and made the student’s responsibility. Excuse me, I didn’t mean to mention that nasty word again. I would certainly like to ask the some question concerning the benches. Just what did happen to our benches? Agreed, they were kind of hard to sit on, but just the same they were appreci ated. Yes, there is a question of evolution, but am in no way qualified to comment on the subject. All I can suggest is a few courses in science and perhaps the reading of Dr. Mamon’s book. Yes, from cuts to apes we do miss the point. —Richard Ergenbright Definitions Anyone?

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS \ i(] /7 ’• —IN CONCLUSION, Wf look WITH HOPE ANC7 TO 10MO|2|20W WHEN WE ^ESlN TO PLANT Ol^f^ (SOOTS' AMO TO TAKfc cun PLACE IN OUK COMMUNI - COMMU —COM « ZJL Siou, Prof OBITUARY Just to sit in class after the bell has rung Has many tempers with hatred stung; Brought to mind dark and hor rible thoughts Whose actions in back alleys might be wrought. Little known to the professor so wise Whose back faces those sharp stabbing eyes, Minds that devise ways to twist the knife That would slowly take the pro fessor’s life. Though his intentions be pure and fine No good student would take this mind, But continue to gather his books While giving the professor dirty looks. A race against time, you run to your class; As the role is called your name has passed. Yes, once again the same old excuse, It doesn’t sound good—it’s worn out from use. Regardless of the drab edi torials of Walt Whitaker; the sharp comments of John Bas kin; the foggy pictures of Mr. Walter Smith; the letters of Richard Ergenbright; the genius of Marietta Atkins; the typing of Jo Wells; the make up of John Rountree; the many loves of Mary Horton; and the creative mind of Harold Keown, the Hilltop has man aged to come through its 35th year unabashed. Next year should be just as confusing. Trish Butte will assume the role of staff artist with frequently appearing car toons ; there will be an en tirely new layout, and the premier showing of “Gort.” The Hilltop wishes to express its sincere thanks to the many individuals who have aided in its distribution and production. Our special thanks to Mr. Walter Smith for keeping us out of lawsuits and Ken Hun- neycutt whose distribution has been unparalleled. Further thanks are due to the many faculty and students who have encouraged us throughout the year. Second-Class postage paid at Mars Hill, N. C. Published semi-monthly during the college year.
