Page Two THE HILLTOP. MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, N. C. November 20. 19f November Take a Break; Thanksgivel The old campus will get sort of quiet next Wednesday when students, staff and faculty members cut out and treat themselves to a much- needed holiday—it's been a long time since this academic grind began way back in September. Now comes a chance to get away and to refresh ourselves for the tough stuff that still lies ahead. Most of us are going to indulge ourselves with turkey and dressing and a whole batch of other homemade goodies. We're going to stay up late, sleep late and communicate—with all our friends, buddies, girl friends, boy friends and other hometown folk. We'll try to cram in as much good food and good fun as we can before we have to come back and hit the books and fall back in the old rut. It will be good to get away—away from the roommate, away from the cafeteria, away from the assignments and the endless paper work, away from the pressure and the routine into which we've gotten ourselves. Who knows, we might even wind up at a Thanksgiving church service, praising God, "from whom all blessings flow." Even if we don't, you can bet most of us will do some genuine blessings-counting. We've got a lot to be thank ful for, not the least of which are our friends here at Mars Hill. We've got some wild opportunities ahead of us, some real adventures. It will take a lot of guidance from the good Lord as well as thank fulness on our part to see us through. Let's all take a break and thanksgive a little! Church Membership Means Nothing A critical analysis of an outbreak of juvenile vandalism in Austin, Texas, has turned up some astonishing discoveries. The outbreak resulted in the following known damages: $150 window broken, $1200 TV anten na destroyed, $4200 worth of concrete sewer pipe destroyed, store windows damaged $20,000 worth by air-rifles. When the grand jury investigated 50 of the reported cases, it uncovered the following facts: All of the vandals were white. All were from above average economic backgrounds. Only one was a University of Texas (located in Austin) student. Fifty per cent of the vandals were high school dropouts, but only four showed a low IQ. Only one had participated in school sports of any kind other than intramural. None had been active in band, drama or other organized activities. None belonged to Boy Scouts or other youth organizations. Only two were, or had been, members of the armed forces. Not a single one had either full or part-time employment. In not an instance did the parents exercise a home curfew, checking to find out where the boys were or with whom they were. No paren tal discipline was found in the strictest sense. Each case involved the use of alcohol al though all were under legal age to purchase it. None of the youths attended Sunday School or other church activity with any regularity. But, all but two of the 50 were members of church in good standing! Published by the Students of Mars Hill College Q'Ke Rilllop Box 486-T, Mors HUl, N. C.

After the conduct displayed at the last two musicals we have had at school, I wonder, distressingly, about the caliber of students on this campus. It seems that whole some movies can no longer be enjoyed. The weekly movies on campus may be the only opportunity for some students to get out during the week. These students want to relax and enjoy a good movie and get away from studying for a little while. But can they ac tually do this? No, because the immaturity of some of our “men?” and “women?” prevent this. I don’t believe I have ever run across any rule stating that stu dents are required to attend the movie that is being shown. There fore, I say to those who snicker and laugh at these movies “Why go?” Just because you do not like it, do you have to ruin it for others? It also amazes me that the ma- -Mary Chan Lovell Ok anLd) cjCordy to ee We give Thee thanks, 0 Lord! Not for the armed legions, marching in their might Not for the glory of the well- earned fight Where brave men slay their brothers also brave; But for the millions of thy sons who work— And do thy task with joy—and never shrink. And deem the idle man a burdened slave; For these, O Lord, our thanks! We give Thee thanks, O Lord! Not for the turrets of our men-of-war— The monstrous guns and deadly steel they pour To crush our foes and make them bow the knee; But for the homely sailors of thy deep. The tireless fisher-folk who banish sleep And lure a living from the miser deep; For these, O Lord, our thanks! We give Thee thanks, O Lord! Not for the mighty men who pile up gold. Not for the phantom millions bought and sold. And all the arrogance of pomp and greed; But for the pioneers who plow the field. Make deserts blossom and the mountains yield Their hidden treasures for man’s daily need; For these, 0 Lord, our thanks! We give Thee thanks, O Lord! Not for the places that wealth has grown. Where ease is worshipped— duty dimly known. And pleasure leads her dance the flowery way; But for the quiet homes where love is queen And life is more than baubles, touched and seen. And old folks bless us and dear children play; For these, 0 Lord, our thanks! —Robert Bridges 1844-1930 Two Laps Around the Campu'. Dr. Harley Jolley has been a patient in ci Asheville hospital, confined by severe stomac! ailment. Some of the students, learning he migt have to be operated on, donated blood in hi’ behalf when the bloodmobile was on campi^' Monday. (Doctors decided that night not to opef ate.) uc Befi Incidentally, the men proved themselves th braver sex as evidenced by blood donations The Red Cross personnel drained 124 pints whil- rejecting only 10 persons. The breakdov4- showed 92 men, 42 women. It's nice to see Mrs. Watson, Mr. Roberts anc Mr. Tilson back at work after their illnesses.

Looks lil^* it will be "Doctor" Chay from now on. I believe that from now on if a musical is to be shown on cam pus, it should be posted as such so those who do not appreciate good muic will not attend. I am assuming, of course, that they will have enough courtesy and decency to stay away. It seems that if they get there by mistake, they would leave quietly; but, no, they make all the noise they can so others will know that they are not going to be a si.ssy. Have you noticed the new telephone boo!l uptown? It's a welcome improvement. It seems to be the common gripe among the students that they are not treated like adults. If you want to be called men and women, grow up! ! !
