Mrs. Annie Himes of Asheville. It was the second such grief for Miss Logan in recent weeks. Another sis ter, Miss Irene Logan of Asheville, died just before Christmas. At least two MHC students got in some valuable exp>erience recently and did a good deed at the same time. Alumnus Steve Spain, principal of a school in Virginia, sent a clipping telling about college stu dents who were home during the Christmas holi days filling in for teachers who were out with the flu. Among them were Mary and Carol Pace of Clarksville, Va., who help>ed out at Bluestone High School. We're all in favor of student publications having a little something in their budget for travel, but have you heard about Laurel editor Carol Chandler?

We cannot hold our p>eace in response to your love for, and to us. Impression without ex pression is an absolute depression. Nothing could be more inspir ing and exciting than reading the posters around the campus of Mars Hill College with inscriptions such as: “HAVE YOU BEEN SEPA RATED FROM YOUR LOVED ONE?” and “JACOB CANNOT GO HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, HELP BRING CHRISTMAS TO JACOB” and a host of others. Let us dialogue a brief discus sion Jacob had with a friend: Friend A: “Jacob, what do you think of these posters?” Jacob: “Look, Guy, this is great a love.” Friend A: “Who sponsors this?” Jacob: “Two students — male and female — interviewed me previously about my desire to and possibilities of bringing my wife to me, but I just don’t know their names. I have come to discover that this is the making of joint sponsorship of Sigma Alpha Chi and Sigma Kappa Lambda. Friend A: What do you think of it? Are you happy? Jacob: Why not, if not? I am very happy and moved. No gift could be greater than assuring a foreigner that he is a part of you citizens. Friend A: Will your wife get to come over? Jacob: I hope Miss Snelson will make it and you will as well join in praying for me. When she is with me, you will realize that I will be settled. Jacob: But is this the general practice in other U. S. colleges? Friend A: No, this is our habit here in Mars Hill. Jacob: This is a great lesson we can emulate and practice. Keep it up. After all was said and done, the long dream came into reality at the dawn of January 5, 1969. We thank the two clubs for initiating the financial support of $235 from all students — even at such a time when students’ budgets for Fall Semester were having very little reserves. We also thank the stu dent body, faculty members and administrative officers for your loving kindness. We congratulate the President, Dr. Bentley, for earning Mars Hill College this spirit of Love — in discriminate love. We congratu late the Foreign Students Advisor, Miss Frances Snelson who is “the soul” of our meeting so soon and so easily. Our thanks also go to individuals and families among (Continued on page four) 93 Days 'Til Graduation! the Mars Hill College Hillrop Editor-in-Chief Linda Baldwin Advertising Manager Judy Pait Proofreaders Ken Yates, Britt Brittle, David Cuningham Photographer - Ted Ellmore Sports Editor Butch Palmer Typists Kathy George, Carol Kirksey, Nancye Knight Cathey Serota Ken Yates Mike Mills David Cuningham Smith Goodrum Sonny Fenton Mike Swaim Bruce Cauble Jim Hayes Second-class postage paid at Mars Hill, N.

There is some sort of old proverb which wan against visiting the places you enjoyed in your yout unless you want to be disillusioned. I should have r membered it. When you reach your 31st birthday and g back to the old school which you attended over 1 years ago, all in the same week, you wonder wl you don’t need a walking cane to get up the staii at the office. I had always figured I was part of the youngf generation. Then all of this gray hair starts spreading over my head and young athletes wl had been calling me by my first name started ad( ing a Mister on to it. Well, that’s enough to mal you feel old. But the thing which topped ever! thing off came Friday night. I finished Mars Hill College 11 years ago. 1 there is one thing on the face of the earth th isn’t going to change it’s going to be Mars Hi College. It was a junior college back in the old day We had a gym with a balcony around it which ha an overhang over the court. All you had to do W> put up a fairly tight zone and not even think aboH the man with the ball in the corners because if I was foolish enough to shoot the balcony was goit to stop that. Well, they’ve got a nice new gym up there no It’s first class in every way. I hate to admit ' but they even have a better team than we did bac in the “good old days.” Internships Put Idealism to Wori Idealism put to work seems to be the theit' behind the Community Development Institute ^ Mars Hill College. The college and its relationsbil to the community has taken on greater emphasi in this endeavor to relate experience to knowledge Heretofore colleges have only related themselvs other colleges, but the trend now is to further thel alliances into the commimity. The sterotype of th “ivory tower” is quickly losing ground as the id^' of personal and group involvement is seeping ini the scene. The community needs the resources th colleges have, and the barriers are now beginniw to be taken down. Dr. Richard Hoffman, director of CommuniU Development, has related his experiences as vi^ chairman of Model Madison (dealing with physic^ development) and the Opportunity Corporatio* (dealing with human resources) back to the clas* room of the Community Development Class whi^ has given the college a closer relationship with tl>' community. The students in this program haVJ made great strides in this effort by being “interns in such agency assignments as the Domestic-ReH tions Court, the Health Department, the Housii>^ Authority — to mention only a few. What are the results of this fast growing pi^ gram? “It blends knowledge and experience,” sal Dr. Hoffman. It strengthens the academic prograil It helps the students, the faculty, and the comm^' nity to imderstand each other thus opening the gal of communication. These “internships” are learning experiences oul side the classroom. The student is challenged I look at our political system, define what is wroPf with it, then try to develop strategy for change aP^ then turned loose to try to change it. This kno'l' ledge and experience gives them a more realistl outlook so that they can more clearly define thel assumptions and views of the world. It gives tl>' student’s total college experience more meaniP^ and value — he learns to relate. How can this benefit the college student aft^ his graduation? First, it forces the student to examine his basic views with which he entered co[ lege and forces him to defend his position — wK' he wants to be involved — it turns on a realisll approach. Secondly, it helps to encoiu’age studeP*'" to become public servants and participants in socie*^ no matter what field they have chosen. It tuPP’” them on to involvement. “These are times wb^'' all of us have to participate,” said Dr. Hoffman.
