Page Two MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA September 13, 196!Septemt Greetings and So On hello, do you ever wear out your mind trying to be creative and productive only to find it just isn’t enough? hurts, doesn’t it? do you ever wonder what in the blazes you’re doing here, anyhow? do you ever want to really take hold of this campus and change something, even if it means changing yourself, too? do you ever think that maybe there is something here for you but you’re not quite sure what it is or you’re just too tired and bogged down to do anything about it? come by the hilltop office sometime and share your mind with us over a cup of coffee, we need you to sit In, lend in, blend in. we’ll be looking for you. "When I was a student. I was quiet. I didn’t protest. I didn’t riot. I wasn’t unwashed. I wasn’t obscene. I made no demands on prexy or dean. I sat in no sit-in. I heckled no speaker. I broke not a window, few students were meeker. I am forced to admit with some hesitation. All I got out of school was an education!” reprinted from the bulletin of the Automobile Trade Association of Greater Philadelphia Spring Dean’s List The following students earned a quality point ratio high enough to qualify them for Dean’s List for spring semester, 1969.

Dear Linda, It seems imperative in this first edition of the Hiiltop to speak about the Hiiltop, not very novel but true. I personally have done every little to help my student newspaper, along with 1200 other students. You as editor, as well as a one man staff, cannot be responsible for this pub lication; so, if I were you I would start printing blank editions until students take the initiative to make contributing articles, plus some time in the layout of the paper. Per haps then, students would get the message. Sincerely, Eleanor Duckett Editor’s note: The following letter is being printed at the request of its author as he and I both feel it is pertinent to the students of this school as well as to the addressee. President of the United States The Honorable Richard M. Nixon 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President; I came upon an article under Mr. Jack Anderson’s byline that appear ed in the September 6, 1969 edition of the Asheville Times. I am for warding that article to you for your reference. I would like to take this opportunity to make comment on some of the elements of that article that Mr. Anderson attributed to your office.

Schools that support volunteer pro grams are taking a realistic ap proach to meeting the needs of their students.” I feel I am fortunate to be a student at an institution that has, for some time, seen the im portance of such activities. I might add that Mars Hiil College is con sidered to be quite advanced in its utilization of a variety of Service- Learning situations. It is part of the philosophy of this college to strive for and provide an opportunity for each and every student to amplify his or her education through participation in any of the programs offered through the Community De velopment Institute of Mars Hill Col lege. The Community Development In stitute is an integral part of our college life, both academic and ex tracurricular. As a resource and re search agency it provides students, faculty, and administrators whatever technical and financial assistance is necessary to undertake their service project. These projects are aimed primarily at trying to both work with existing federal and state agencies and also to explore new means of ending the continuous cycle of poverty so present in our immediate geographic vicinity.
