Page Two THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE. MARS HILL. N. C. April 10. 19W1 10. 196 Deaths Are Doubly Shocking Two sudden deaths — that of Mrs. Margaret Bridges and of the former Miss Curtis Compton— hove baptized the campus in shock and sorrow. Some are still numb with owe. There is a tend ency yet to disbelieve. Our loss of Mrs. Bridges was extra shocking because of the time element. When we left she was here; when we returned she was gone— and there isn't even a grove to give us a local point of reference. Our loss is heartbreaking, but we are com forted by the knowledge that she now basks in the radiance of God's presence. The loss of our friend Curtis was also extra shocking because of the time element. She was at the honeymoon of life, and it seems extra tra gic for one to die in such a time of promise and hope. We are also moved to grief for our fellow stu dent Mann Duff, whose marriage has been shattered and whose happiness has been shut off. Several current students and a few from last year drove to Charlottesville for the service, in cluding Tom Remcho, Mann's roommate. In a way, they represented us all, and we ore grate ful to them. Often in such times of grief there is little we can soy which will help, but sometimes by our presence we can be a comfort and a source of strength. Such experiences do some thing for us too; they bring us closer to the re alities of life and help us to appreciate our own joys. The passing of these two friends has remind ed us agcrin of just how closely our lives are associated with those among whom we live. God help us to keep all of our relationships in orderl LITTLE MAN ON®CAMPUS Easter Promises •'MASrgKFUULYWKITT^N 5HA1?F—ITfe5EuR3H\MY„ PLEASUee TO 5PP A TEST WITH 60/WMW AM6KSUOUS (^m'! Scratchpad Scribblings... The Squeeze Is On Going to college in the South requires a larger percentage of the overage individual's income than anywhere else in the United States. This painful fact — which most of us felt was true even before we heard it stated — was re ported recently by the Southern Regional Edu cation Board. Student costs in the South, soys the SREB, average 44 percent of per capita income as com pared to 37 percent for the rest of the country. This is true even though student costs are gen erally lower in Southern colleges and Univer sities. The squeeze is further put on students and their parents by the fact that only about half os much aid is available in the South as in other parts of the country. Nationally, about $2 of aid are available for every $10 of tuition, but in the South it's only about half that much. Despite such aid programs os Notional Merit Scholarships and National Defense Education loans, the Southern college student is feeling a heavier and heavier financial burden in his struggle for a college education. There is increasing need for more ample \m- dergraduate assistance, says SREB. Only hitch is, where's the money coming from, the federal government? the states? churches? foundations?

He recently was accept ed at Wake Forest Grad School and has been awarded an assist- antship in biology. Seems like Paul Thompson came back to Mars Hill last Sun day minus a very essential piece of tin on his car. He lost his li cense plate somewhere in Char lotte. While home for the holidays Kay Brooks received a diamond from ex-Mars Hillian Boh Clyde. Bob is currently a senior at Fur- pins” and “My Fair Lady” will be packing ’em in at the nation’s theaters this year. One of the pictures nominated for some award was one sched uled in Moore Auditorium on Apr. 20. It’s the “Chalk Garden.” Junior Doris Martin and Bill Elliott of the English department hear wedding bells ringing in the not-too-far distance. They will be married this summer. Congratu lations ! Dianne Freeman left her wal let in her dormitory room over the holidays and found out when she arrived home that her driver’s license was in the wallet. She had the misfortune of being stopped while driving and was caught without her license. She received a citation to appear in court Apr. 2. She went to court Apr. 3 (a Saturday) and found no court in session. That’s right, she misread the citation. Poor Dianne! Several Mars Hillians have al ready been appointed to serve in missions with the Southern Bap tist Home Mission Board this sum mer. Carol Allen will be working in Kansas; Martha Penley goes to Oklahoma City; Hilda Dean will be working in the Phoenix, Ariz., area as will Nancy Matheson; Sandra Wells will go all the way to Fresno, Calif., for her work. Good luck to Bill Rotan. He is running for state BSU Music Di rector. We’re behind you Bill! Dr. Outteh spent part of the holidays in Greensboro, attending a biological sciences curriculum study conference at UNC there. A quintet of Mars Hill girls saw the sights in New York City during the holidays. Miss Ken dall of the home economics de partment drove her car and took Emily Corn, Alia Weaver, Terry Sinclair and Audrey Manly. They had a ball, they report. A few diehards stayed up Mon day night to watch the Academy Awards.

Is it not coming to a Christian to show forth a liviif Christ, to carry out His commandments, to cept His love and forgiveness, and to live Him? Each letter in the word "Easter" signifies soiH; thing.

Let's help put Christ in Easter this year! -—adopted from THE HILLT^' March 19, 1960 Hoby Harmon and Kay came through Boone Sunday night on their way back to the campus at an exciting time. A big super market was burning right next to one of the girls’ dorms at Appal achian State Teachers College. Congratulations to Patsy and Allen Pankey, our newest moth er- and father-to-be. Allen, a sophomore, and his charming wife maintain an apartment here in Mars Hill. Mrs. Pankey is the former Patsy Russell of Los An geles, Calif. She attended Mars Hill last year. Kay Price is wearing a big smile around campus these days. The reason? She and Tom Rem cho announced their engagement over the holidays. Allen Hayes had a rough time of it for a few days while home for the holidays. Hoping to rem edy his cough, his mother gave him a bottle of medicine to take. The liquid in the bottle didn’t turn out to be medicine, however, as Allen had a violent reaction after swallowing the contents of the one-fourth-full bottle. It turned out that he had gulped down a healthy dose of chloroform liniment (a rubbing compond), and Allen spent part of his holi day break in a stomach-pumping session. Yes, it was one hundred years ago yesterday that Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, Va. Maybe we should get the band to strike up a few strains of “Dixie” in commemoration. There’s a new coffee-vending machine at Mars Hill Cleaners that is worth watching even if you don’t drink coffee. It’s got so many buttons to push that an engineering degree would be help ful in using it. Juanita Bush might be wishing she could just bypass Georgia on the trip between Mars Hill and Miami. Her car broke down in Georgia on the return trip from spring holidays and had to be left down there for repairs. Service Clubs Could Be Helpfik "What this campus needs is . . . ." The completion to that sentence would ably have about 832 versions if it were put. Mars Hill College students in the form of a One version we overhectrd recently that md^ good sense is this: "What this campus needs is an orgonizcrtr) that is strictly student-planned and student-!^' on organization that will help us coordinate efforts in doing something constructive. j "Just about everything on this campus is ulty-plcmned and faculty-supervised. As I we students hove very little to soy about ■V'fJ’’, is done and how it is to be done. Think aboU' 'Think of any organization on campus and ydj see how much faculty supervision there redj is. Perhaps this was necessary when this just a junior college, but it seems as though so' changes ore now overdue." J Amidst all the talk of Peace Corps volunt^ and young people tackling numerous other fcin going- in which their chief aim is to serve their feU4 lusfi-Q by men, it does look like we could get in on ^ 'Hfensg.fg^ act here at Mors Ifill. If figures given receijl serigy. c in the papers ore correct, there is a good ’'HiIqs. ,®Qds cai need right here in Mors Hill and the surround' - ports of the county. Why couldn't we students form some sof! skinnofi u? service organization through which we co'’ channel our desire for opportimities to ^ service? Service clubs ore an integral p^j life on other campuses; why should Mors HilUj on exception? The passing of literary societies from our ^ j pus scene has left a void which needs to filled somehow. We do not lament the of societies — perhaps they had outlived t*' day — but we do sense the need for s® organization to take up some of the slack 'V/*’; their passing created. In working together,' the benefit of others through a service orget^^ tion, there would be enjoyable social cont‘|, for students. Who con deny that more and h® forms of social activity ore needed on our pus? Service organizations could fill this and be constructive at the some time. The Sophomore Gloss discovered a goo^‘ ample of what we are talking about w'h^ held a Christmas party for some underprivil®'^ children at the local school. If you like this idea, how about dropping a note in care of the Hilltop office. We'H ^ it along to the Student Government Associr'' and see if we can't get the ball rolling.
