Page Two THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, N. C. May 2,Y 2, 1964 Civil Rights Now Nation-Wide Problem LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS For a number of years the Negro in the South has been fighting for the right to be equal or, as some people say, the right to be unequal. In Washington this is simply a case of “Pharoah’s punishment” for the South’s past sins. The South was a disobedient child that had to be spanked every once in a while to be put back on the straight and narrow. The North was pointed out as the big brother who set the fine example. He was in control of all his racial problems and everything was perfect. As a climax of this desire for equality, the Civil Rights Bill has already been passed by the House and is being debated in the Senate. It isn’t just the southern Negro wanting these rights; it is the Negro in the North, the Negro in the West, the Negro in all the United States. Now the shoe is on everyone’s foot, not just the South’s, and it is a little bit tight. Now the Negroes are being urged to stop demonstra tions, sit-ins, stall-ins, and any type of picket ing until the bill is passed. The Negroes say that if the bill is not passed demonstrations, even more violent than those before, will con tinue. The entire United States has gotten itself into a corner and for once there is no way out. —Sally Osborne Exam Schedule It hardly seems possible but the end of the 1963-64 school year is almost here. The sched ule of final examinations has been announced, and we publish it below hoping that to do so will give us — the members of the Hilltop staff — as well as our readers a shock which will awaken us to the reality of how little time is left. With the first exam less than three weeks away, here’s hoping a look at the whole sched ule will inspire us all to serious work between now and then.

Dear Editor; We read Jerry Davis’ reply to the question, “To what does your fancy turn in Spring?” and we would like to know Mr. Davis’ plans for getting “36-24-36” from a test tube. —Cheryl Marlin —Mary Anna Wilkes Winthrop College Calendar Jn PraUe Of Ole ^^^ounta-tn6 If you have lived in the moun tains Then you have held the hand of God, You’ve walked the path of beauty Along the road you’ve trod; You’ve felt the springtime showers, Been caressed by the golden sun, Lived and laughed with Nature From dawn to setting sun. If you have lived in the moun tains When your heart has known peace; Your mind a real contentment, While cares and troubles cease. The whole outdoors your mansion. Each bird and bee your friend And Mother Nature close at hand With untold joys to land. If you have lived in the moun tains You have been truly blessed, Known the thrill of walking And found a peace in rest. The spacious, gorgeous hill-top The blue skies overhead, If you have lived in the moun tains What a wonderful life you’ve led. —Bessie Cline Anyone interested in taking any particular subjects in summer school (and who has not already done so) should contact Dean Lee immediately. He must know in order to hire the necessary teachers for the subjects desired.
