Growing Problem
Want a Job ?
A collegiate newspaper is a good place to
put in some hard work and reap valuable experi
ence. It is not, however, a very profitable place
to goof off or make money.
The HUltop, being a collegiate newspaper
—of sorts—is a good place to put in some hard
work in exchange for some satisfying experiences
not to be found elsewhere. The paper is seri
ously in need of some dependable students—
preferably who can read and write and spell
—to perform duties in at least six basic areas:
advertising, sports, news, features, proofreading
and makeup.
Neither previous experience nor great techni
cal skill is essential. The basic requirements
ore dependability and willingness to work. Any
one interested should contact the paper's advisor
between 3 and 5 p.m. Monday in Montague.
Just to keep the record straight, though, re
member that the paper is not a good place to
goof off or make money. Don't come just to
impress your roommate or to ovoid a dull after
noon. Don't come thinking you'll take over the
editorial page and lambast the deans, cafeteria
food or the football coaches. Don't come with
visions of writing your own column or of collect
ing 10 per cent on all the advertising you sell.
If such are your motives, just don't come.
If you ore willing, however, to work from
three to six hours per week helping get out a real
news-paper which your fellow students will en
joy reading and of which you and they will be
proud, do come.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
Lack of an effective means of communica
tion between various groups and individuals
within the college family is becoming more and
more apparent as Mars Hill grows.
Neither posters, post office box notices, a
weekly announcement bulletin nor a bi-weekly
newspaper provides the efficient means of com-
mimication a developing senior college needs.
Try to commimicate with a faculty or staff
member by putting a note in his box in the
registrar's office. In some cases it would take a
week or more. The only time some of them ever
look in their box is on payday.
Try to reach a student by putting a note in
his box at the student post office. Some students
apparently check their box only about every
second or third day, and you may hove^ to wait
anywhere from 24 to 72 hours to establish con
tact.
Try reaching a commuting student by any
method and you will see how difficult it is. Some
have somehow been left off the student roster
and you don't know where to address their
mail. Others hove no telephone or live so far
from campus you'd hove to pay long-distance
rotes. Others for some reason just don't seem
to ever get mail no matter how it's addressed.
Student Government Association leaders at
Mars Hill are aware of the commrmicotion prob
lem here, especially as it relates to commuters,
and are currently seeking means of improving
the situation.
The administrative officers of the college
would do well to give some thought, too, toward
the problem. As enrollment rises and both stu
dents and faculty members confine their activi
ties to smaller groups within the college family,
the need for better means of maintaining contact
and communication will increase.

The following: letters were received
by Walter Smith of the public rela
tions staff and Chris Pappas, presi
dent of the student body, but are
published here because they are really
addressed to the entire student body.
I would like to take this oppor
tunity to express our apprecia
tion for the gracious hospitality
that your school extended to us
last Saturday.
I have been thinking that I
constantly learn of the differ
ence between Christian education
and secular education. At your
place Saturday there was no evi
dence of poor sportsmanship and
no boisterous conduct of any
kind. This behavior is an ex
treme contrast of what you will
find every Saturday in a state
university stadium.
Would you please extend our
thanks to everybody who took
part in the program, especially
your Student Government leaders.

hoses. Here again exception
must be made. Apples were not
thrown until after the fire truck
arrived.
The gathering was totally un
necessary, but blaming it on Rat
Week with the added fact of the
town’s electricity being off is
only aji assumption. Freshmen
were in the minority at the
demonstration and blame should
not be placed on the innocent.
Certainly rowdyism does not
have its place on a college cam
pus. Such incidents should be
avoided if at all possible; how
ever Rat Week should not be
made the Scapegoat of the dis
turbance.

Dear Chris:
Please extend our thanks to
your student body for the hospi
tality shown us on Saturday (Oct.
9). Our students certainly had a
wonderful time and will still be
talking about the trip for a long
time.
Congratulations on your new
stadium! It is certainly some
thing of which to be proud. We
are glad we were privileged to
be the college that had a part in
its dedication.
We extend to you our greatest
appreciation and hope that your
student body is already making
plans to be at Carson-Newman
for the game next year.

Nothing is worth while
Without a friend to smile.
Nothing is worth your care
Without a friend to share.
The world is flat and dull
And nothing beautiful
From start to end
Without a friend.

In the last issue of the Hilltop
an editorial concerning the noise
demonstration of Oct. 6 was car
ried. The article insinuated that
the ruckus evolved from a Rat
Week pep rally. The truth of
the matter is that the trouble
started at 8:00 p.m. — half an
hour after the freshman pep
rally. The participants were in
their dorms when the lights went
out.
Also it was stated that the
crowd pelted the local policemen
with apples and that they re-
