_DATC Page Two The Saga Of Man Viva ia Alley Door The Hilltop acknowledges with gratitude and praise the etlorts which have created the "new" Alley Door. The Alley Door has swung open its doors after a month of redecorating. The BSU-sponsored "coffee house”, under the management of Richard Sparkman and the direction of BSD President Don McCaskili, has undergone major improvements and was reopened on Friday, November 21. Major additions in the Alley Door include an AM-FM Stereo unit, a massive coilage which covers the entire west wail, a travel backdrop for the stage, new lighting inciuding ten overhead fruit can iights and new colored spotlights for the stages. Other additions include a new soda fountain, fresh coffee, hot chocolate and hopefully fresh pateries if sales are successful. Entertainment will dominate the scene on Friday and Saturday nights. A turntable will be installed for the use of the students on scheduled record nights. A schedule of professional entertainment is presently in the plan ning stages. A talent exchange arrangement is being planned between similar establishments in other col leges. The operating schedule for the remainder of the semester remains unaltered: The Alley Door will be opened on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from eight p.m. to curfew. MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS The following is a reprint of “Genesis . . . Last Chapter,’’ written by Kenneth Ross for the Genesis Life Review. It was also published in the Steven Point, Wis., Daily Journal, the Tallahassee Democrat, and the Florida State University Flambeau. And in the end There was Earth, the brightest jewel in all the cosmos, and it was with form and beauty. And man dwelt upon the lands and in the meadows of the earth, and he said, “Let us build our dwellings in places of beauty.” And he built cities and highways and covered the Earth with concrete and steel and garbage and rubbish. And the meadows were gone. And man said, “It is good.” And on the second day, man looked upon the forests of the Earth and saw that they were beautiful. And man said, “Let us cut the timber and saw the wood for our use.” And man did. And the land became barren when the trees and the water sheds were gone. And man said, “It is good.” And on the third day, man looked upon the waters of the Earth and saw that they were clean and sparkling and pure. And man said, “Let us put our wastes into the waters that the dirt will be washed away.” And man did. And the waters became polluted and foul in their smell. And man said, “It is good.” And on the fourth day, man saw the animals were in abundance and ran in the fields and played in the sun. And man said, “Let us cage these animals for our amusement and kill them for our sports.” And man did. And the animals were gone. And man said, “It is good.” And on the fifth day, man breathed the clean, sweet air of the Earth. And man said, “Let us dispose of the rest of our wastes burning that the winds shall blow the smoke away.” And man did. And the air became filled with the smoke and the fumes would not be blown away. And the poisons and dust choked and burned, and the clean, sweet air was gone. And man said, “It is good.” And on the sixth day, man saw himself in skin of different colors and he heard many languages and strange tongues, which he did not understand. And what he did not understand, he feared and hated. And man said, “Let us fashion great weapons of war that we may destroy these who are different, lest they destroy us.” And man did. And the Earth was fired with the rage of great wars. And man said, “It is good.” And in the end all was quiet and still. The land was barren and charred and the animals were gone. The trees were gone. And even the air to breathe was gone. And in all the once beautiful Earth there was only empty stillness beyond despair. Man no longer dwelt upon the Earth. And it was good. r HAPPEN TO ENJOr 5A$KETRALL—WHAT'$ THAT GOT To PO WITH MY cS(^PINc9 jHeiteU ia Uta edUoa. . • Editorial comment: Several per sons have complained to the Hill top due to the fact that portions of recent letters were edited. The Hill top would like to assure the stu dent body that the letters were not censored; they were cut due to lack of space. Note: The following letter was sent to Radm. Lawrence R. Geis, Chief of Information, Navy Department, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Early in the month of October I placed a call to your office re questing information regarding the availability of filmstrips representing the “hows” and “whys” of our coun try’s involvement in South Viet-Nam. Your secretary referred me to Ltjg. Stanford where my inquiry was cordially received. Within twenty- four hours I had a call from a Lt. Reilly of the 6th Naval District with the information I had requested. In addition he was extremely helpful in evaluating the content of the films in his possession, and I would like to take this opportunity to express the appreciation of myself and of Mars Hill College for the assistance given us by the United States Navy. A committee of students here at Mars Hill wished to participate in the October 15th “Day of Concern” moratorium. After examination of Thank you again. Sincerely, James M.

Thanks to the films provided to us by the Navy the program was a success. The student body responded with interest to the strengths and weak nesses of all aspects of the Viet- Nam question. The overall program was managed in a mature and re sponsible manner with your films and two NLF films having been shown in the afternoon and resi dence hall discussions with fellow students and faculty members be ing conducted at night. The day culminated in a candlelight service for those who have fallen in combat. I believe Mars Hill College can take pride in its student body for objectively facing a question that so many of our laders find so diffi cult. Such an individual experience would not have been possible with out the help of the men in your command. The question has been raised, “What is File Some students have speculated that File 34 is a box in Dr. Bentley’s office which has the namei all the members of SLED. Others have said that 34 is a movie starring Michael Caine which played week at the Mars Theatre. It is neither. File 34 is newly created catch-all column for the Hilltop: written by the hitherto unknown Sammy Wallace, objective of File 34 is to publish material deemed touchable by Linda Baldwin and in any other way sible to undermine any Communist plot to take the college. The first noteworthy addition to File 34 comes the office of Registrar Robert Chapman. The Silver reports that students may prepare tentative class scl ules for the second semester by scheduling appi ments with their faculty advisors during the first weel December. Mr. Chapman feels that, by devoting a to this activity, the students will have more time to cuss their class problems with advisors and to am their schedules. He also reports that grades at the of the semester will, in many cases, mean that schei readjustments will have to be made prior to ac| registration on Jan. 19-20.
