Page Two THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, N. C. This golden door of opportunity: intramurals at MH President Kennedy’s cry for physical fitness drops off to a low moan on the ears of most people. Regardless of this, however, it might be wise for those students at Mars Hill, even those who think of themselves as being complete ly physically fit, to take advantage of Mars Hill’s most practical and economic offering. This is the intramural program. For some reason, whether it be a too stringent emphasis on academic furtherance or an inad- yertant disregard of the need for general athletics, intramurals have never held their rightful place of respect on this campus. The interest is a far cry from most four year colleges. UNC, for example, has probably one of the best intramural programs in the nation. At least the best in North Carolina. Looking back through some old issues of the 37-year-old lEUtop one could find announce ments such as this: “Euthalia and Philomathia have organized football teams. Look for game schedule later on the bulletin boards.” This was less than a decade ago, showing the loose or ganization of the program. The program has, actually, been organized for just a few years. But it has been improved grossly in the past two years. The program, if actively participated in by students, woud be a top notch and enjoyable ex perience for the entire student body. Let’s face it. Most of us just are not athletes or else we do not have the time to play varsity sports. Even if we were and did there would not be enough room. A football team has only 11 players. There are over 600 males on campus. The co-rec program introduced this year has been long awaited. It is part of the intramural program worked out by Coaches Jim Fish, and Vir ginia Hart. Some old-time battles among campus members would be good for the campus. An old-fashioned rivalry would be a boon to an otherwise conserva tive school. The intramural program is not a sissified thing, but a great opportunity for flex ing muscles and enlightening oneself to reflex and athletic knowledge. After all, the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields at Eaton.

While cramming for finals at Hem lock Normal (named in honor of Socrates), Claude copied the his tory of England on the mouton lining of his toga. Later he found out there was no England yet and that it was all some crazy science- fiction stuff dreamed up by his roomie, Caesar. Not to be outdone, he finally graduated in 43 A.D. dentium skinus (by the skin of his teeth), took a job as Roman Emperor, made the first channel swim and established Roman rule in Britain. Upon his return he collaborated with a classmate and music-major. mutterings of You don V agree, huh ? And so not everybody agrees with everybody else. It might even be true that not everybody agrees with everything in the editorial columns of the Hilltop. And so what con you do about it? Some organizations believe in wearing white robes and burning torches to show disagree ment; others resort to writing up a Black List of all people who hove the audacity to question a^ traditional standard. More rational people discover the wonderful world of Letters to the Editor. The HiUtop welcomes letters and these let ters, if properly signed, will gladly be repro duced on the editorial page of the student ^ newspaper. Those with the energy to write Pg%TT^»,l letters and use a stomp may address the letter • • • to Box 486-T, Mars Hill, or letters may be brought directly to the Hilltop office. Miss Tricia Butte, a former Mars Hill student, was recently a runner-up in the Miss Florida contest. Now attendingf the University of Miami and study ing interior decorating, Trish was a previous runner-up in the Miss Miami contest and winner of the talent division. From time to time Trish con tributes cartoons to the HILL TOP, Besides her other tal ents, she sings, plays the guitar and models and, upon occasion, has been back up guitar player for such artists as the Everly Brothers and Santo and Johnny.

To returning students, who have been so nice in the dining hall, I’m glad you are back and I am proud of your accomplish ments. I welcome you new students, too. Already you have been so nice in the dining hall that I am looking forward to working with you the rest of the year. I feel that we are going to have a good year. What a great challenge you have in helping make this year a good one! What a joy it will be to be able to say “I was a stu dent at Mars Hill College in 1962 and helped make the first year of its four-year program a good one.” If I can help you in any way, please call on me.

Cribbing was introduced into America by an obscure scholar in Professor B. Jolley’s 1924 History class as a method of self-preserva tion. He later won the BVD Foundation Medal for Bravery. The University of Washington Columns reports that the versatile sport still abounds abroad. When Lord Frederic Hamilton was a foreign attache in India he found that guessing the age of the na tives was quite difficult because the lines and wrinkles did not show on the dark skin. Lord Hamilton soon found that the dark skin held other advantages. “One of the European Exam iners of Calcutta University told me that there had been great trou ble about the examination papers. By some means the native students always managed to obtain what we may term ‘advance’ copies of these papers. My informant de vised a scheme to stop this leak age. Instead of having the papers printed in the usual fashion, he called in the services of a single white printer whom he could absolutely rely on. The examiner had the papers handed to him early on the morning of the examina tion day, and he duly set them up on a hand-press in the building itself. The printer had one assist ant, a coolie lad clad only in loin cloth and turban, and every time the coolie left the room he was made to remove both his loin cloth and turban, so that by no possibility could he have any papers concealed about him. In spite of these precautions it was clear from internal evidence that some of the students had had a previous knowledge of the ques tions. It eventually appeared that the coolie, taking advantage of the momentary absence of the white printer, had whipped off his tur ban, pressed his shaven head to the form, and then replaced his headpiece. When made to strip on going out, the printing ink did not show on his dark skin: he had only to press his head on a large sheet of white paper for the ques tions to be printed off on it, and they could easily be read in a mirror.” Lord Hamilton made a very sage conclusion: “The Oriental mind is very subtle.” M6 dynamite.
