This should be significant news
to many Mars Hill students with
a touch of homesickness and a
yearning to talk with the folks
back home, minus telephone
charges. It is possible for mem

according to R. R. Chapman, reg

“The progress report which
came out yesterday,” added Mr.
Chapman, “is a sort of monthly
‘delinquent list,’ but it will be
shown only to the student and
his advisor and will not be sent
home to his parents.”
Mar. 23 is also the last day for
dropping courses without penal

Open Hearing Set
On Student Protest
An open hearing for the purpose of airing student ideas and
receiving suggestions concerning the cafeteria and student
center tvill be held from 3 until 5 p. m. Tuesday, Feb. 26, in
the audio-visual room of Memorial Library.
The hearing is an outgrowth of the protest demonstration
staged recently and an extemporaneous meeting in the audi
torium, attended by Dr. BlacWell, Dean Lynch and several
hundred students.
World Need

dent’s hometown and have that
operator establish telephone-ra
dio contact with parents, girl or
boy friend, or other acquaint
ance.
“We’ll be glad to do this for
any student whenever possible,”
said Butch Suttles, one of the
club members. “The best time
for this is on a week day after
noon. If the student Knows a
“ham” in his hometown, he
should write that person and ask
him to be on the air at a certain
time and certain day. We will
try to establish contact from here
and he can make the phone patch
on the hometown end.”
A well-prepared program of
training for club members, both
licensed and unlicensed opera
tors, is carried on by the club,
which has its headquarters in
Mr. Pegg’s office in the Science
Building. Code classes are con
ducted for those working toward
their licenses and exercises for
others are planned.
David Thomas of Weaverville
is president of the club, Hugh
Fisher is secretary and Bill Tay
lor is club engineer. New mem
bers are always welcome.
In addition to the Collins
transmitter the club owns a
Hammarlund HQ-150 receiver.
Other equipment belonging to
club members is also available.
Funds are now being raised to
purchase an all-channel antenna
to be installed on the roof of the
building. With it the range of
contacts might well be extended
to Mars.
World-wide need for home
economists will be explained and
stressed to the members of the
Mars Hill Chapter of the Ameri
can Home Economics Association
at its meeting at 6:30 p. m. Mon
day in the Science Building.
Miss Brewer, college nurse
who served as a medical mission
ary in Ghana, West Africa dur
ing the 1961-62 school year, will
show slides and explain the need
for home economists in Africa
and elsewhere.
Dr. Blackwell suggested at that
meeting that a special joint facul
ty-student committee be appoint
ed to look into the matters
about which complaints were
raised. A 12-member student
group was appointed by the joint
student councils at their meeting
on Feb. 11 and an 8-member fac
ulty group was appointed by Dr.
Blackwell, who will be an ex-
officio participant in the hearing
Tuesday.
Members of the chapter are
continuing their fund-raising
project through which they con
tribute to the support of a 10-
year-old boy at the Baptist Chil
dren’s Home in Thomasville. A
recent letter from the youth
thanked the girls for their gifts
to him at Christmas and on his
birthday.
Two other activities of the
chapter are already beginning to
occupy the thinking of chapter
members although they are still
rather far away. A state-wide
workshop on the Meredith Col
lege campus in April and the
chapter’s annual spring fashion
show in May are already being
planned for.
The student committee con
sists of A. D. Frazier, John My
ers, Carolyn Riley, Mary Horton,
James Henderson, Jane Milam,
Don Rothwell, Charles Stevens,
Charles William Fox, Kenneth
Pearce, Gary Brookshire and
Lana Hawk.
The faculty part of the com
mittee consists of deans Lee, Lo
gan and Lynch; Miss Snelson,
Miss Swann, Mr. Chapman, Miss
Ihrig and Mr. Roy Wood.
These two groups will meet at
2:30 p. m. Tuesday to plan for the
open hearing.
Any student who has an idea
to state or a suggestion to offer
will be welcomed at the meeting.
Dean Lynch stated.
Attendants are asked to be
quiet in going to and coming
from the meeting place in order
not to disturb persons studying
in the library.
Unusual Lyceum Number,
Llords’ Puppets Coming
Faculty Away
Five members of the English
department faculty are away to
day attending a special conference
at Campbell College in Buie’s
Creek.
Dr. Pierce, Mr. and Mrs. Mc
Leod, Miss Ihrig and Miss Garner
are representing Mars Hill at the
convention of teachers of English
in the seven Baptist colleges of
North Carolina.
An unusual program of enter
tainment—a departure from the
frequent recitals, concerts, plays
and movies — is coming to the
campus at 8 p. m. next Saturday
(Mar. 2). It is “Llords’ Puppets
International,” a marionette show
featuring Daniel Llords and
nearly 200 “little people.”
“At first glance,” says Dean
Lynch, who handles the schedul
ing of lyceum numbers, “this
might appear to be a program
more for children than for col
lege students. I can assure you,
however, that this is not true. In
recent years Mr. Llords’ appear
ance on the campus has been
enthusiastically welcomed by the
students. They have been fasci
nated by the skill with which he
manipulates his puppets and have
marveled at the attention to de
tail given in the construction and
costuming of his figures.”
In Llords’ cast the chorus girls
wear real mink and chinchilla;
the Pharaoh and his retinue of
maidens, musicians and camels
are covered with 18 karat gold;
trapeze performers, opera sing
ers, Shakespearean actors rub
noses—and share packing space
—with donkeys, giraffes, sunfish,
dragons, skyrockets and spraying
fountains.
The stage on which Llords
presents his show is 12 feet wide
with an opening of six feet.
Above it, in full view of the au
dience, is Llords, who sometimes
manipulates as many as 187
strings at one time.
Musicals Scheduled
Two widely-acclaimed musical
movies are coming to the cam
pus.
“Carousel,” starring academy
award winner Shirley Jones and
Gordon MacRae, will be shown
in the auditorium at 8 p. m. to
night; and “State Fair,” with Pat
Boone and Pamela Tiffin, is
scheduled for Tuesday night
(Feb. 26).
