ISSlpril 24. 1£ Closer Cooperation Is Our Goal Contrasting View The council at an Iowa State University dormi tory for women wants any coed too intoxicated to sign in under her own power to appear before the coimcil. Possible action against violators of the rule could include early hours or campusing; how ever, the president of the council which proposed the rule soys the rule is not based on a "moral judgment" but is simply reconunended to "keep order in the house."

Each of us has the opportunity to make next year a better year for the entire school. To achieve this an even closer association among students must evolve. It is the purpose of this article to seek a closer unity among all the various school organiza tions in order to pull together to the end that a greater and closer student body might be seen on this campus. The student government, with its various ac tivities, has tried to do its share in the develop ment of student participation in various areas. Allow me to soy something about sports from my own experience. In basketball, no matter where our team traveled, some of you were with us. Even in Georgia, there you were! And when we returned home and sow the gymnasium filled to the brim with people, hooping and hollering for the Lions, let me tell you, everyone of you seemed great to us. Hearing your cheers and seeing your enthusiasm was enough to moke chills run up and down our spines. Such things go to moke a successful year. Student government pushed such activities, giving them more individual meaning to our lives. What about that train trip to Corson-New- manl It was a success, and you, the student body, made it that way. These things go to moke for a pride in our school which is intangible, one which will cony over for generations to come. A big thanks to the SGA for their great job. Also this year "Quo Vadis" week had a great impact on the lives of us all. We again were brought together for a purpose, but this time the emphasis was on spiritual matters. This week also was quite a success. Our thanks to the BSU for its work in making this week involve so much of the campus and for the influence that the week exerted on our lives. As is easily noticed, I have mentioned only two of the organizations on campus, but the tie which holds us together as a student body reaches for deeper than just to the "name" of an organization. The fact is the whole problem of unity on this campus, or on any campus in the world, is in the hands of the individual student. That's right, it's left up to you and to me to make this campus grow stronger in a feeling of "oneness" of puipose. To this end we strive: That next year be a year of real coming together in all areas of our campus life. —Andy Good, President BSU for 1965-66 "I FIGUR5P I'P BETTER W HCMEWDPK PONE P/fflV I HAVeA5TUl?y CWEWITH \A/Pe-m,TDNlTE.’' jHetie^ ta edUoA. •. When the innocent suffer be cause of the actions of the guilty, injustices are being done. Such injustices are often seen in col lege dormitory activities, and many Mars Hill students can tes tify that they have been recipients of such undeserved punishment. The uninvolved person is often the object of the wrong committed by a fellow student. At the same time, this bystander has to par take of the judgment delivered by the authorities for the wrong which was done for the simple reason that the guilty party re fused to admit his bad deed. Dormitory activities should not be hindered by social probation or an equitable distribution of demerits among occupants of dorms. Restrictions on dormitory life should be determined by the moral integrity of the individuals involved. There are many dishonest “Jacks” misusing their playtime in our hallowed halls at Mars Hill. These people are exhibiting the truest of childlike tendencies as they continue to take their bottles on the milk of immaturity. “Oh, but I’m twenty-one; I have the right to do what I please.” Right pal! We can all do as we desire, but this prerogrative lasts only until Mother bends us over her knee. You’ve read what Mother Government did to Sonny Boy A1 Capone, haven’t you? What you please to do in your college residence and what you know is right are often two very antagonistic forces. When you allow your conscience to succumb to any of your animal-like in stincts, you are debasing your own self. You are basically saying, “Look at me. My biological drives are strong. I have no self-discip line. I care nothing for others.” This would be a fine philosophy if you were a hound dog. The fact remains, however, that you are a human being whom God has given special powers with which to make reasonable decisions. It Devotion to God does not mean, “God, I will serve you willingly by destroying college property, de grading the personalities of oth ers, and giving my good wishes to all innocent bystanders who suffer because of my capricious and detrimental activities.” God wants a natural reciprocal expression of at least a portion of the love he has given to you. This involves staying away from oc currences which aberrate from the consistent living of Jesus Christ. Don’t let obnoxious and con forming majorities in dorm hous ing keep you from progressing in your moral service to the world. These majorities are providing the opportunities you need to ex tend your positive Christian con victions into the lives of others. The wise man recognizes that life’s most important truths are often trite. The clever man sees only the triteness. —Eli J. Schleifer The true American citizen will not run when he sees injustices being done by individuals or groups. He will work unceasing ly in the midst of ridicule by ac cepting the challenge to defend his own moral affirmations. When he works until wrong has been substituted by right, then, and only then, is his work finished. He afterwards discovers the won derful feeling of knowing he has helped himself, the students in volved, the reputation of his school, his patriotic leanings, and the will of his God. By the way, girls, you live in dorms too! — Charles W. Deweese A Final Word From SGA Heai^,^ Serf I would like to take this opportunity, as presj, .ten awardee dent of the Student Government Association 1964-65, to express my sincere appreciation ■fsity of Tei the student body for the cooperation and intere I e will be displayed this year in the governing body on In the second year of its existence the ^ has made progress in developing into a W«Knoxville student governing organization. This progreS has been possible because of an interest on ft id of the part of the students to create on organizatW ko y,iu through which they might contribute to the "welttcation dei fare and growth of their college. *‘‘»ersity c It will take time to attain great status, but tirt‘'s Monday, is not the only factor. The SGA requires eve- ‘» compara more student participation if it is to develop asj’’ foundatio should. You hove elected your leaders in SG' ''hile hand: for the coming year, and I urge each of you 1' should sen give them your wholehearted support. Throu4*'*' Keller i their leadership and with your backing the to Lind: fluence of this student organization will be fe ?»ist be si to a far greater extent than ever before in Hill '“ngratulal life of Mars Hill College. —Gory Brookshire '^^rtents oJ A New Opportunity S."c"„ ^ PiXa Edwari For Young Baptist f _ Edwards is your responsibility to use sound judgment and common sense in fulfilling the functions of dorm life, a vital aspect of your col lege career. It must certainly be encourag ing to the God-seeking masses in our world to observe that many of the crude and unchristian hap penings at Mars Hill are being instigated and even committed by religion majors, professed Chris tian laymen, and even ministerial students. Opportunities for yoimg people to get involve* otg in exciting and dramatic ways with people different cultural, economic and racial bcicbm^ . ' both at home and abroad — ^'Arm- grounds available today os never before. The Peace Corps, Vista, the Economic Opl^^v tunity Program, North Carolina's own Volunt®^Hts ^gj-e ^ Ftmd and similar types of anti-poverty, go°‘’ the Busines will people-to-people projects abound. All a recent f > li vide opportunities for young people to make‘''aeg worthwhile contribution to their nation and a question- the world and, at the some time, undergo an ' Ihree-floor citing and enriching — and educational — ‘ perience. When the day comes that min isters of God make clandestine and undesirable actions a favorite avocation, then it is time for these future church leaders to re-eva luate their calls to service, their intentions to fulfill their calls, and their ultimate attainments they have in mind. Now comes another program which ^ special promise for Baptist young people. thro the Missionary Journeyman Program being CaroHn stituted this year by the Southern Baptist Forew Su, today Mission in Richmond. Choir Fes: In June 50 recent college graduates will go to various established mission stations in last of the Anno: ,^‘'eshman-ii IS y in G An iierican '^est of the world and begin writing a new chapter Baptist missionary work.
