What have been the basic reasons for the rapid development of sub stantive student aid programs in the United States? Basically there have been 3 reasons: (1) to preserve that uniquely American concept that each boy or girl who has the ability and the desire should not be denied the opportunity to attend college; (2) by including both public and private schools in the plan, to save tax payers millions of dollars which they would have to spend for tuition costs and for expanding facilities at public 'colleges and universities; (3) unless help is forthcoming immediately, many private schools will close. Unless immediate relief is forth coming, the number of young people going on to college will continue to drop. The number of students from urban areas and from upper income families will increase, while the num ber of students going on to college from low and middle income families will decrease. To emphasize further the seriousness of this situation, recent studies indicate that by 1978 it will cost a minimum of $2800 an nually to attend a public regional university, and between $4000 and $5000 to attend a private college or university. Moreover, if the enormous resour ces of private higher education are not conserved and used, state gov ernment can lose millions of dollars. For example, in 1969 approximately 26,000 in-state students were en rolled in private colleges and uni versities. If these were shifted to public colleges and universities, the tuition alone would amount to more than $45,000,000 for each biennium. This figure does not allow for any facilities such as dormitories, class room buildings, cafeterias, or librar ies. It has been conservatively esti mated that it would take well over $1,000,000,000 to replace existing private college facilities. Recognizing the need for a state wide scholarship assistance pro gram, Gov. Scott, upon the recom mendation of the Board of Higher Education, appointed a blue-ribbon Legislative Study Commission on Student Financial Aid of 21 mem bers, 5 from the Senate, 5 from the House, 9 members-at-large, includ ing the presidents of a private and public college, and 2 members from the Board of Higher Education.

Collegiate Innovations The University of Kentucky is one of the first universities in the nation to drop a long-standing admissions procedure—the high school tran script. UK requires instead a stu dent’s application for admission, an official report of his senior year and a statement from high school certify ing his graduation. High school grades are included in the ACT prospective student profile. Tran scripts duplicated this information and have seldom been used in the past by UK admissions officials. When on the University of Mary land’s College Park campus, pick up a phone, dial 454-4321, and tune in on a recorded message service which announces each week’s cul tural, academic, and social activities on campus. Prepared by the University News Services, the project is called ”Dial- an-Event”. Updated frequently, the recorded messages give date, time, and location of campus events. Tougaloo College, Miss., is using a European construction process new to this country to rebuild its campus. College officials believe that the project will also apply to hospitals, housing developments, and other colleges. The construction technique con sists of prefabrication flat concrete panel units on the building site and assembling them into the finished structure. The process cuts con struction time and uses 70 percent unskilled labor instead of the 30 percent usually employed. Burnett Company, the nation’s largest Negro construction firm, brought the pro cess to this country. Upward Bound For the third year, students from high schools in this area will be on campus as participants in the 8- week summer Upward Bound pro gram. This program is a pre-college preparatory program designed to generate the skills and motivations necessary for success in education beyond high school among deserv ing students with special needs. As in the past, the staff and ad ministration of Upward Bound would like to involve interested Mars Hill students as tutors, tutor-counselors, and “Buddies” in the program and to solicit the cooperation of all stu dents in making this year’s program a continued success. Any Mars Hill student Interested in more information about this pro gram or in applying for positions should contact Mrs. Judy Sears in the Education Department.

The Hilltop realizes Allen has experienced his own total involvement with the Drama Department’s recent production of “The Zoo Story’’ but, honestly, sleepwalking at a dance Is unreal. Physical Education Department Plans Summer “Variety Pak” The Department of Physical Edu cation will offer programs in sev eral areas for the 1970 summer term. Major categories involve theory courses for the physical education major, activity courses to meet core requirements, and recreational ac tivity for the entire student body. Indoor activities will be offered for the first time during a summer term. These are offered because of their carry-over value and their ap peal to the students in the regular school year. Included are paddle ball and rebound tumbling. Other courses in the curriculum of inter est to the college student are tennis, golf, archery and lifesaving. A special feature for this summer will be an intermediate golf class to be held on Bald Mountain Golf Course. Credit will be given for the course. Mr. Henderson will act as instructor. An additional fee will be charged per student to cover use of course and golf carts. More in formation will be made available at a later time. Special programs offered by the Physical Education and Athletic De partment include two camps. An Athletic Camp will be operated for two weeks, June 8-20, for boys ages 13-19. Instructional activities are football, baseball, weight training and basketball. A Sports Day Camp for both boys and girls, ages 6-13, will be held June 29-July 10. Instruction will be given in gymnastics, swim ming, group games, archery, tennis and golf. General recreational activities will continue to be held during the sum mer months. These will involve swim ming, basketball, paddle ball, soft ball, weight training and other sports activities that may be performed in the gymnasium. There should be enough activity for all those who are interested in participating. •Soundd o / tke Di (continued from P. 2) Dear Editor: The other night I was reading a book titled FROM THIS DAY FOR WARD by Kenneth J. Foreman and found a paragraph that I think all NEWLY engaged couples or old en gaged couples for that fact should read and think about for a while. So, I am giving this statement from one newly engaged person to all the others concerning harmonious marriage. “The harmonious marriage is not necessarily one in which each one reads all the other’s mall; it is one where neither would be afraid to let the other one read all the mail. It is not the marriage in which each agrees with all the other’s notions; imes it is one in which each respects the other’s belief as honest and sincere. It is not one in which there are never any arguments; it is one in which arguments can be carried on without weakening love for truth or love for each other ... It is not one which needs a constant flow of words to ward off boredom. . . It is not one which dims the individuality of either, but blend to create a new dimension. . . Sincerely: Dianne Lee Starner Dear Editor, This is just to notify you that the Student Post Office employees have decided NOT to strike. Gary Singleton Postmaster
