Russia has Red China, Kennedy has Wallace, Hawaii has frost, and our college freshmen hove Mars Hill College. The problem is not what you are here for. Each of you know what you are here for. Some of you because you wont to learn; some because your parents want you to go to college; some of you girls to find a life's partner, and some of you boys just to hove a high time of it all. No, you know what you are here for. It is the other prob lems you face that get you confused. The homemade food that doesn't taste home made. Twelve-hundred faces around and not a familiar one in sight. A roommate you just can't seem to get along with. The long lines that never seem to end. Your monthly allowance that was spent lost week. Your first class imder a teacher labeled "terror." Getting scalded after some unseen person fcrgot to yell "watch the water." Some of these problems are quite serious, while others con be laughed at. Though some of them con be laughed at a couple of months from now, however, doesn't make it any easier now. Nothing is more serious in one's life as adjusting to a new place, people and environment. It takes a sense of humor, a spe cial kind of courage, and a lot of determination. You miss home, your friends, and your town. Mars Hill is not your home and it does not claim to be. It is, however, as nice a place to live be sides home os you will find; IF YOU WILL LET IT. You will sometimes be miserable, but you will live through it. Don't give up. You came here to find something and don't leave until you find it. —Sally Lee Osborne This sparkling energy is also manifested in the enthusiasm of the new students as they stand in the necessary lines at Mors Hill, as they meet new friends and renew acquain- tainces. These are the sparkling years of today. These ore the years that should be made to count for good. There are opportunities of genu ine service on this campus in the form of reli gious activities, in doing our classwork well, in participating in events where our talents are needed and wanted.

Dear Freshman Bic I appreciate your taking time to write me letter during these first few days. As a freshman in college I know you mu^ be on the run air the time; it reminds me of ir(y first year!

These thoughts of mine are on ofter-^ag_ math of our discussion a few days ago. You asked me a question then, which has stayedgeven won with me for quite a while. After some thinking Ijer the ai feel that as a friend it is my opportunity as one ■Fou who has experienced college life to try to help] you in some way. If you remember, Jerry, • you * asked me .. question every college fresrmon^ask^ himself:|^^h^ "How can I really know wrot course to’ major in while going to college?" know how you felt ^ j. the morning after your griiduotion.

Your name 'j'j^g'g^-^ was then on a college registrar's list.
