LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
Having had their fill of apathy and having suf
fered long enough from backslides in progress nour
ished by negligence, MHC students have resurrected
their minds and activated themselves for the per
petuation of effectual, progressive change on this
campus. In a mere matter of weeks, various student
factions have immersed themselves in the business
of legal and pacifistic revolution (going on the as
sumption that “revolution” may be interpreted as
conditional replacement of obsolete systems).
In the short span of time since the last issue of
the Hilltop, the student body has been assured of a
new chapel system, to be effective as of Fall, ’69.
SGA and Class elections have pumped new blood,
fresh ideas and unspoiled courage into the student
government’s body.
On Wednesday, March 12, after six interested
students were refused admittance to the weekly
meeting of the Student Affairs Council, in which
proposals for changes in the Handbook were being
made. Dr. Bentley, with the co-operation of the
Council, had the remaining meetings of the year de
clared open to all students. The meeting time was
changed from mid-afternon to early evening for the
sake of convenience. A refreshing, swift-moving
current in the usually stagnant stream of things, the
Students for a Liberal Education (SLED) have initi
ated a curriculum evaluation which will be issued
to all students before fall registration. This evalua
tion will be beneficial to students in their selection
of courses and professors and also helpful to the Ad
ministration in their own evaluations.

Recognizing these actions and foreseeing similar
ones in the immediate future, I find it impossible
to agree with the member of the administration who
told me last week that “nothing newsworthy is hap
pening on this campus at this time.” Many things
are happening and they are happening fast. I hope
the apathy that reigned last fall on this campus was
only a reaction to a vaccination of passivism injected
into our minds by campus environment. I hope we
are now immune to this fatal disease of laziness and
that, rejuvenated by a new hope and encouraged by
the changes brought about in the last two weeks, we
will make rapid progress in all aspects of the oper
ations of this institution.

Mr. Nixon said in a nationwide radio address on
youth, “We must listen to the voices of dissent, some
times strident, sometimes cool, because the protestors
may have something to say worth listening to. . . .
If we dismiss dissent as coming from ‘rebels without
a cause’ we will soon find ourselves becoming leaders
without an effect.”

Hi,
I think that what has been
wrong with me lately is that my
resistance to germs is down. This
is partly due to lack of vitamins
in my diet (cafeteria). This lack
of vitamins has ruined my resist
ance, made me sick, allowed me
to get a sore throat and given me
a generally “blah” feeling.
The school wonders why the
students are listless, dull and apa
thetic. I definitely believe that it
is partially due to the weak diet
received day in and day out.
Yesterday I went to the drug
store and obtained for a substan
tial but well spent price, a bottle
of vitamins. After two days my
spirits are high and I am feeling
much better. I hope that by the
next time you see me I will be
vitamin rich and well again.
I am not saying that vitamins
£ue a cure-all but I think they
help.
Love,
Ted
Editor's note: The following letter
was left in my typewriter the after-
noon of Ihe paper's deadline. It refers
io an assignment to write a feature re-
•view of Jack and Sally Jenkins' con
cert.
After several attempts at this
gammut, I have decided that I
liked them but lack the very in
spiration on which a reviewer
thrives. Perhaps I will be able to
do it later on but at the moment
Spring Fever aboimds.
Love,

Dear Editor#
I would like to submit the following
letter to be published in the Hilltop.
I feel that many students are down on
the older generation and feel a def
inite gap between themselves and their
parents. I had the same problem until
this letter arrived. Parents are under
standing!

Dear Editor,
I would be very interested in
knowing whether or not there is
any correlation between the sheets
hanging in the cafeteria and the
sheets missing off the lines in the
basement of Stroup. If there are
any thieving politicians, keep
yourselves covered . . . I’m warm
on your trail.
—Kathy George
Dear Son,
I am very grateful and humble
that you ask me for advice. I
just hope the answers I will give
will have some meaning and fill
some of the void you are now
experiencing. I pray that these
words will help you tolook beyond
to the great opportunities that are
just ahead of you. My definition
of problem is: opportunities that
need exploring. Let’s look at your
problem with reference to your
witness on campus. Difference of
opinion is just another method of
exploring. I’ll bet there are not
too many people that would bet
