Chapel Survep Reveals Some
Noble, Not-so-Noble Thinking
the editorial voice should be a
dispassionate expression of stu
dent opinion, both pro and con,
on any issue concerning campus
life.
While many felt the student
government a more proper place
to debate issues than the paper,
a surprising majority wished to
see the activities of the Student
Council thoroughly covered.
Another heart-felt need was a
desire to have more news about
lesser-known groups on campus,
individual students and their own
accomplishments and plenty of
inside information about various
faculty members.
Almost unanimously, everyone
begged for more humor — in any
form or fashion — all over the
paper. One of the girls in church
work felt that humorous letters
to the editor might get faster re
sults than if they had the tones
of (as a football player, an art
major, and a pre-med student also
all put it) “a gripe session” in
them. An English major, how
ever, listed the controversial let
ters and editorials as the best part
of the paper, as did a foreigrn
student, a freshman and a busi
ness student.
Some felt that more emphasis
should be given to student dra
matic performances, the band and
other local musical groups and to
the art exhibits, including critical
interest. A few wished for book
reviews; one or two wanted some
gossip.
Nonetheless, far less pushing
for one’s own group to be cover
ed to the exclusion of others was
encountered than might have
been expected.
Many were apathetic when it
came to the question of a school
paper’s policies. Some, more re
sentfully resigned than others,
felt that the paper would never
change. Most, though, realized
that any school paper is run in
general agreement with the poli
cies of a school and its adminis
tration and failed to sharpen
their private axes.
How should a paper grow?
Two or three students who had
first come to Mars Hill in 1959
seemed to be the most optimistic
concerning the general trend the
paper had taken in its growth
over the past two years. Almost
everyone, however, was inclined
to be thoughtful in considering
how much growth there is yet to
be made by the school itself as it
converts to a four-year program.
A freshman pre-dental student
said optimistically, a paper could
“grow as the student gn^ows.”
Touch Football
(ACP) — A University of
Kansas freshman was hospit
alized recently as a result of
a touch football game with
friends.
On a “spectacular play” he
lunged at the ball carrier and
tagged him. Afterward he told
the DAILY KANSAN he had
heard his stomach “pop.” He
underwent surgery twice be
cause of internal hemorrhag
ing.

Would you go to chapel if you
did not have to?
When this question was put to
145 students, 50 said “yes,” 40
said “no,” and 55 said “it de
pends.” These results were
enough to surprise anyone who
has seen whole rows of students
and some faculty members sleep
ing peacefully while some speaker
tried desperately to lift their
minds, their spirits and their eye
lids.
The group which answered
“yes” had some noble comments.
News from Other Campuses
A former Mars Hillian is cur
rently ranked among the top five
students academically at N. C.
State College, according to Dr.
William E. Smith, textile profes
sor who was on our campus last
week for interviews.
He said Harry “Bo” DeLoach
of Asheville, who finished MHC
in 1961, is presently rated with
the scholastically “elite” at the
Raleigh school, where he is ma
joring in textile chemistry.

wood returned to the United
States as CBS News’ first United
Nations correspondent and cov
ered the Presidential conventions.
He also served for a time as CBS
News chief correspondent on the
Pacific Coast and later, from
1949 to 1952, as CBS News White
House Correspondent.
In 1952, he took a leave of
absence to serve as special assist
ant to the Director for Mutual
Security, Averall Harriman, who
later became Governor of New
York.
Collingwood returned to CBS
News in 1954 and resumed his
work as reporter and news ana
lyst. In 1957, he took over as
chief of the London bureau, a
post he held until 1959, when he
returned to this country as host
of the “Person to Person” series
and the award-winning “Con
quest” science series.
He has been married to actress
Louise Albritton since 1946. They
live in New York City.

(ACP) — A letter to the edi
tor of LINFIELD REVIEW at
Linfield College in McMinnville,
Oregon, contains a bit of justifi
able “chamber-of-commerceness”:

(ACP) — Remember the Life
magazine picture a few years ago
of some men at the University of
Kentucky operating a fake regis
tration booth for frosh women?
Well, a trio at Los Angeles,
California, did likewise. The
UCLA DAILY BRUIN says the
three students set up a card table
and signs in the middle of regis
tration lines and established
themselves as “Station A” for
“registrations of frosh women
for the campus directory.”
The trio rated each girl for sex
appeal on a one-to-ten scale as
she filled out a card calling for
her phone number and address.
Before running out of cards
(they had 400), the three found
some who rated from One (“just
a girl, but not worth picking up
the pencil for”) to Seven (“un
believably great”).
Classes Eight, Nine and Ten
were purely academic, since no
coed was found luscious enough
to merit such ratings.
The three will be generous in
sharing the cards since they ex
pect to be overly supplied with
dates during the coming year.

Gary Parker declared that in col
lege we are supposed to feed our
minds spiritually as well as in
tellectually. He also pointed out
that “some people would be bored
no matter what kind of program
you had. Some people would
sleep through a speech by Billy
Graham.”
Ernie Jones pointed out that
“there are certain benefits which
you get from religious services
which help your attitude toward
your daily work.”
Martha Dick and Jimmy
Daughtery thought chapel was
important and “just as much a
part of your education as French,
math, or any other class.”
Joan Williams likes chapel be
cause “it is a time when we can
stop from our studies and hear a
speaker speak of God.”
Jack Trent feels that “formal
worship is a necessity for spiri
tual growth.”
Keron Hess believes that
“since we go to a Christian
school, it (chapel) is something
we should have.”
Dianne Price feels that it
should be required because this
is a Baptist school and chapel is,
for many people, the only Chris
tian service.
Norman Selby likes to “sing
hymns and hear good religious
music,” and Jenny Cooper likes
“to sing along with Daddy Black-
well.”
Other reasons given for liking
chapel may not be so noble, but
they assure us that Mars Hill does
attract normal human beings.
Aleta Welch likes “to be with
everyone for a few minutes.”
Charlotte Cloud sees chapel as an
opportunity to relax between
classes. For Janice Eiland, chapel
is a time to think.
Bill Whitman, David Clapp,
George Barton, Bill Long and
Don Love claim that they would
study during that hour if they did
not have to go to chapel.
Many students offered sugges
tions for improving chapel.
Hugh Fisher, Arnie Morris,
Gary Tucker and Ronnie Harvey
felt that being required to go de
tracted from the spiritual atmos
phere.
Lois Nicholson, James Leather-
wood, Paul Clark, Don Culberth,
Ray Mullaney, Judy Miller and
Carolyn Dicker suggested that
the speakers should be more in
teresting, more appealing to
young people.
Andy Morley and several other
students felt that once a week
was often enough to have chapel.
Darden Battle, John Ayers,
David Craig, Bill Bullard, Joe
Newsome, Archie Turner and
Jack Gardner felt that the pro
grams could be more varied. They
suggested letting students have
charge once a week and having
programs on topics such as poli
tics, science or culture.
Mackie McLendon and Vivian
Wang suggested that it would be
easier to stay awake if the lights
were not turned down and if the
heat were not turned up. Stella
Lam felt that the loud speaker
does not work well enough.
Bill Baber offered us all hope
for the future when he said “This
is my third year (here) and it
(chapel) has g^reatly improved.”
