THE HILLTOP, MARS HILL COLLEGE, MARS HILL, N. C.
Like To Be A Tiger ? LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
Would you believe? If camp is cool and
cool is out then how can camp be in? Today
is the age of fads. Tigers, paisley shirts and
ties, berets, and polka dots (if they are loud
enough to be heard) are camp. Griping is an
other rage throughout the country. Griping
about one’s alma mater is definitely in on any
American college or university campus. Ev
erything catches it at Mars Hill just as it does
on other campuses.
Especially painful to me is that the Hilltop
has caught some of this criticism. If one were
to investigate the situation conscientiously he
might wonder that the school paper even
makes the presses at all.
Would you believe that this paper was basic
ally done by one person last semester? The
advisor did our paper in addition to 9,346,810
other duties. He did the job that twenty stu
dents should have been doing! Would you be
lieve that the Hilltop must be written a week
in advance of publication and that it must
cover the news for a two-week period from
the publication date? Would you believe that
the printing press is more than 20 miles away?
You’d better believe it. Mr. Smith deserves
our unreserved gratitude.
Griping and complaining and criticizing can
only be legitimate if we are willing to be con
structive. Evidently in the year just ending,
few were willing to put forth any kind of
effort towards the Hilltop.
Mars Hill College did not mean much to me
until I began working for it. It must really
be true that what one puts into something is
what he gets from it in return.
Next year I hope to improve the Hilltop. I
want it to be vivid, alive, interesting, relevant
and Christian just as you do. It can easily
be ALL these if —
Haven’t you guessed yet? I am trying to
sell a few people on joining next year’s Hilltop
staff. An editor can be no better than his
staff. I am also asking for constructive criti
cism. A suggestion box will be placed in the
Student Center all of next week. Those peo
ple who might like to join the staff should
come by the Montague Building. We are
especially in need of typists, sports writers
and reporters.
Like to be a tiger? A real tiger? Don’t be
caught by the tail. Get up! Get out! Do it—
join the Hilltop staff!
—Clarence E. Young
Final exams are almost upon us. Time has
literally flown. For most the work has been
hard and the hours long. There have been
those brief minutes of rest, relaxation, and
conversation with friends that seem to have
made college worthwhile and valuable after
all.
Friendship and companionship are really a
great part of life; yet, they are the things we
are most likely to forget when the evils of
procrastination finally make their last bid to
consume us.
Many of our friends are graduating or trans
ferring. Some faculty members are leaving
for extra graduate work and others are relo
cating at other campuses.
Somehow it seems almost mandatory to say
good-bye and seal friendships. Many of these
people we may never see again. I remember
my lesson from high school well. An unsaid
good-bye is the worst thing in the world!
