Page Two THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C. Animal Lovers Arise, Join the Cause SINA offers such a fine opportunity to join, to belong, and to martyr, one's self that we fail to see how students can ignore this movement. SINA speaks for the student. This short ex cerpt from a letter by Clifford Proud (SINA pres.) demonstrates the sincere concern for ideals and truth that is so characteristic of today's younger generation: "In spite of friendly classroom courses that teach idealistic knowledge, one must become a discerning and practical thinker in order to rise above moss mediocrity; you must seek and learn the truth first hand, so as to be more fully prepared to face and adjust to the outside world which is grim and often unreal. Without a wide variety of mental stimulations your moral fibre is at stoke; your destiny, without purpose or di rection, becomes vague and your only true identification is perhaps your social security number." Students, arise! Do not become a walking social security number. Join this worthy cause. Help the poor unclothed animals grazing on Huffman Beach; clothe the naked birds who have to go south for the winter. Hove a purpose. UVEI —SLO The Forget-It-Not Element In Easter Four days—86 hours, 4,560 minutes, 273,000 seconds. Yes, fellow students, spring holidays ore about to laegin. You didn't know that? Well, that is what a newspaper is for: to inform stu dents of upcoming events that they ore likely to forget. We hate to shock you, but we don't want any of you lingering or studying around here during spring holidays. Another thing people ore likely to forget is that this is also Easter vacation. "To the earliest Christians, Easter was the all-important holiday. Relatively little notice was taken of the anniver sary of Christ's birth; as for as they were con cerned, Jesus commanded men to remember not. His birth, but His death. So, when all of you ore home getting sick on hard-boiled Easter eggs, swiping rabbits from your cousin's basket, and eating Easter dinner, please remember the real meaning of Easter; don't let it turn into a six-foot bunny with a cute red nose. —SLO Published by the Students of Mars Hill College 0*110 Rilllop Box 486-T, Mors HiU.

The Doily Tor Heel joins the Hilltop's fight to wake students to the harsh realization of the life outside and their duty to mankind. We hove repeatedly attempted to draw the attention of the campus to the attitudes and ac tions of a worthy organization called the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals. We feel that, in this age of anxiety and despair, all fine Americans need to belong to some cause. Stu dents should give themselves, totally and unsel fishly to the perpetration of noble ideas.

The wind ran its fingers through my hair and lifted my heart Like the red kite tugging to be free. Big grey clouds, bereft of tears, rolled lazily along Inviting me to follow them to spring. —Bootsie Wallace The World Goes By Have you ever watched The world go by? The night turn into day?
