Page Two MARS HILL. N. C. AppR 19. 1969 Goings On He always wanted to explain things. But no one cared. So he drew. Sometimes he would draw and it wasn’t anything. He wanted to carve it in stone or write it in the sky. He would lie out on the grass and look up in the sky. And it would be only him and the sky and the things inside him that needed saying. And it was after that he drew the picture. It was a beautiful picture. He. kept it under his pillow and would let no one see it. And he would look at it every night and think about it. And when it was dark, and his eyes were closed, he could still see it. And it was all of him. And he loved it. When he started to school he brought it with him. Not to show anyone, but just to have with him like a friend. It was funny about school. He sat in a square, brown desk Like all the other square, brown desks And he thought it should be red. And his room was a square brown room. Like all the other rooms. And it was tight and close. And stiff. He hated to hold the pencil and chalk. With his arm stiff and his feet flat on the floor. Stiff, With the teacher watching and watching. The teacher came and spoke to him. She told him to wear a tie like all the other boys. He said he didn’t like them. And she said it didn’t matter! After that they drew. And he drew all yellow and it was the way he felt about morning. The teacher came and smiled at him. “What’s this?” she said. “Why don’t you draw some thing like Ken’s drawing? Isn’t that beautiful? After that his mother bought him a tie. And he always drew airplanes and rocket ships like everyone else. And he threw the old pictures away. And when he lay alone looking at the sky. It was big and blue and all of everything. But he wasn’t anymore. He was square inside And brown. And his hands were stiff. And was like everyone else. And the things inside him that needed saying didn’t need it anymore. It had stopped pushing. It was crushed. Stiff. Like everything else.

Dear Linda, Would you be kind enough to make this announcement to the student body: The campus radio station (WMHC) is sponsoring the movie entitled Dr. Faustus star ring Richard Burton and Eliza beth Taylor, introducing the Ox ford Dramatic Society. The pro ceeds will go toward transmitters to cover the campus. The show ing begins Sunday (April 20th) at 2:00 p.m. at the Mars Hill Thea tre in Mars Hill. Tickets are at reduced prices of $1.00 each. (SHOWS TOMORROW!) At present the radio station only has the funds to cover half of the campus; there is a significant shortage of funds. It would be a disaster for such a noble project to fall through. We solicit the support of the administration, the faculty and students to help see this project through. We consider this radio station a must if Mars Hill is truly going to progress. It is a sm2ill investment compared to its enormous returns. Thus far the burden of responsibility has been carried by too few. If it is truly going to be the students’ sta tion, then it is their responsibility to support it. Contributions may be mailed to WMHC Radio Sta tion, Box 635-C, Mars Hill Col lege. Please make checks payable to WMHC Radio Station. Thank you. David C. Cuningham General Manager WMHC My plea is that ALL stop and think before we ridicule or con demn another for having a differ ent opinion. And I hope that we will try to remember that our be liefs and our ideas are not always right for anyone other than our selves.

During the past two or three weeks, a controversial issue arose among the members of Humanities Program. If one took the stand against this issue, he was ridiculed by many, and if he took the stand in favor of the issue, this person was condemned by those who did not agree with him. Both are wrong. We are at tending college to grow and to form our own ideas. Why can one not take a stand either for or against this issue without being ridiculed or condemned?
