Telecasts of WSPA - TV, the CBS affiliate in Spartanburg, are now being received clearly in Mars Hill thanks to a translator antenna installed on Middle Mountain, just north of the cam pus. The original WSPA signal is broadcast on Channel 7. The sig nal is picked up by the translator and rebroadcast on Channel 2. The latest development makes it possible for programs of the three major networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — to be received clearly on campus TV sets. The NBC affiliate is WFBC, Channel 4, in Greenville and the ABC af filiate is WLOS, Channel 13, in Asheville. Sophomore Kathy Farkas. who will transfer to the University of Tennessee after this school year, is counting the hours until she leaves for Germany and a sum mer of study. no fireiJ } WE HAVE A COMPLETE LINE OF REVLON, TUSSY, OLD SPICE, COTY, YARDLEY, MENNEN & OTHER TOILETRIES Hollingsworth Candy — Eaton's Stationery MARS HILL PHARMACY H* H* >*• *■ t * 4- H* •i* *■ 4* ■i- «J* 4* 4* 4- 4- 4- 4- 4- 4- 4- arsais^' U fr thePf} andf^ )mas» aiii' IrVi^ and *1- ★ NOTICE ★ CLASS RINGS MAY BE ORDERED MAY 17-18 AT THE BOOKSTORE 9:30 - 5:00 ^Qst Call for Graduating Seniors.

It was written by Law rence Elliott and is published in the May issue of Reader’s Digest. The book shows what can hap)- pen when a humble, dedicated man puts his mind to the task of exploration and research even on such an unlikely prospect as the lowly peanut. Multi-million doUar industries were created by Carver’s experi ments with peanuts, soy beans and other farm products; yet he refused any increase in his $125- a-month starting salary during his 46 years on the faculty of Tus- kegee Institute. Often he delayed cashing his salary checks imtil the treasurer protested and frequently he gave them to needy students. He re fused to go to work for Thomas Edison at $100,000 a year. A dye stuffs firm offered Carver a lab oratory and a blank check. He sent back the check with formiRas for 536 dyes that he had discov ered. When Florida peanut planters sent a box of diseased specimens with a check and offer of a re tainer, he diagnosed the disease and returned the check. “If the good Lord charged nothing to grow your peanuts,” he wrote, “I do not think it fitting of me to charge anything for curing them.” In addition to the admiration of scientists everywhere. Carver won the friendship of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Cool- idge and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and also of Henry Ford, the in dustrialist. Ford and Carver vis ited each other for years and Ford named a Dearborn school for him. 4' d. -S 4 •f 4 -S 4 4 + 4 ■* 4« 4 * 4 MARS HILL FLORIST See US for MOTHER'S DAY GIFTS AND FLOWERS Dexedrine Pills Poor Fuel To Burn As Midnight Oil Editor's note: Sometimes in the rush to get papers turned in on time, lote studying for tests ond burning the "midnight oil" in general, we are tempted to toke so- called "stay-awake" pills. A recent news release from the Associated Collegiate Press warns of the dangers of such pifls. Dexedrine is taken by too many Oklahoma University students . . . taken too lightly by too many OU students, says the Oklahoma Daily. Norman. Most who take dexedrine to stay awake or buoy their spirits don’t realize the possible severe effects; few think they would be susceptible to such reactions. But there are many and frequent cases of reaction to pep pills on this campus. The OU Infirmary has handled dozens of such cases, with symp toms ranging from nausea and vomiting to hysteria and a form of amnesia. Students are brought in by counselors and friends often imaware of where they were or what they are doing. One girl brought into the in firmary thought she was having a heart attack. Use of pep pills raced her heart beat to well above 100 and brought on heart attack like effects. Two years ago a sophomore who had a term paper due the Saturday afternoon of finals had been staying up all week study ing and working on the report. Friday night she got a full night’s sleep, but when she got out of bed Saturday morning, she feU flat on her face in a semi-coma reaction to the drug. Taken to the hos pital by her roommate, she spent the weekend under a doctor’s care. A highly-ranked graduate stu dent who had been taking dexe drine in order to get in the last work on his degree went to his last final . . . and wrote the en tire three-hour exam on one line of a blue book. He told a friend as they walked out of the class room that he thought it was the best paper he had ever written. An unidentified OU professor, according to a national magazine article on pep pills, was taking dexedrine under a doctor’s super vision for weight reduction. Sensitive to the drug, he went in to a reaction that meant seVereil weeks in the hospital. The worst case the infirmary says they have handled involved a boy who had never taken dexe drine until he took just one cap sule. He was brought in seriously injured after punching his fist through a heavy glass window in the dorm. He told officials he didn’t remember doing it. Dexedrine is no joke. State BSU Conference Success Approximately 3 5 0 students from college campuses through out the state entered enthusi astically into the workshops and discussion pieriods of the annual BSU Leadership Conference at Wingate recently. Among them were a dozen members of Mars Hill’s new BSU executive council plus college chaplain and BSU advisor Robert Melvin. Timely theme of the meeting was “The Kingdom Beyond Caste.” The conference began Friday night with a worship service led by the Rev. J. Dewey Hobbs, Jr., who in his student days was BSU president at Wake Forest College. Next Dr. G. McLeod Bryan, pro fessor of Christian social ethics at Wake Forest, delivered an ad dress, “The Race Problem in America.” The last action of the evening was a brief discussion of the re vised constitution of the state BSU, which was then approved. Saturday morning’s activities included workshops where stu dents could share ideas for im proving their BSU programs on their own campuses, an address. 4 -H 4 4 4* 4 4 4 4 4 4* 4 4 4 4 4* 4 4* 4 4* 4 4 4« 4 4* 4 4* 4* 4 4* 4 4 4* 4**f'*?'4**f'4*4*4*4’4*4*4'4"l*'l*4*4*4'*f*4*'f*4**f**f"f*4*4**f*4**l*4**l**f*4'4*4"f*4"l*4'*l*'f**l*4*4*4*4**l*'l**f* Blanton's Traditional Men's Shop New Shipment of BERMUDA SHORTS by JEFFERSON ROYAL LIME and BERMUDA SPICE Also SERO BASS Shirts by CREIGHTON Shoes WEEJUNS For the Ladies DRESSES by CHAPEL HILL PERFUME by JOHN ROMAIN SHOES by BELGRADE “The Race Problem in North Carolina,” by Dr. W. R. Grigg, secretary of interracial coopera tion for the North Carolina Bap tist State Convention, and a ques tion and answer period with Drs. Bryan and Grigg which proved to be so profitable that it was ex tended almost an hour. That afternoon officers for the coming year were elected. Elbert Felton of East Carolina, Wcis elect ed state president; Chris Canipe of Appalachian, was chosen as vice-president; and Pat Pond, a Wake Forest sophomore, became the new state secretary. Through a constitutional change the offices of music chairman and Reveille editor were made ap pointive, but a likely candidate for the music post is a Mars Hil- lian Bill Rotan. One of the high points of the conference was the worship serv ice Saturday evening, led by out going state president David Craig, a Mars HUl alumnus. At that time the new state officers and the coirncU presidents were in stalled. A service of communion followed, and the evening ended with two excellent films on racial problems, “No Hiding Place” and “No Man Is an Island.” Sunday morning the Mars Hill delegation left Wingate for Char lotte to attend the morning wor ship service at Myers Park Bap tist Church. The conference provided a chance for worship, for thought, and for meeting and sharing ideas with fellow BSU’ers from across the state. More important, per haps, was the chance it provided for the members of our own coun cil to get to know each other through discussions, fellowship and fun. “We of the BSU council hope to be better prepared to serve the Mars Hill campus in the coming year because of our experiences at Wingate,” one Mars Hillian said.
