Page Six MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA March 27, Woodmen Become Lytton’s Lions Jack Lytton, 27, head basketball coach at Lees-McRae Junior Col lege in Banner Elk, has switched schools and will lead the cage efforts at Mars Hill College next season. The announcement was made here Saturday, March 17, in a press con ference held in the office of Mars Hill’s athletic director, Don Hender- Lytton will replace Harrell Wood, who has stepped down after 10 years as head coach of the Lions and who has been assigned full time teaching duties in the college's Department of Physical Education for next year. Henderson called Lytton “one of the rising young coaches of the region.” He added that Lytton’s ap pointment means that Mars Hill’s two major intercollegiate sports — football and basketball — will “be coached by enthusiastic young men.” Last month Lytton was voted “Coach of the Year” by the basket ball coaches of the Western Caro- linas Junior College Conference. He directed the 1969-70 Lees-McRae Bobcats to the WCJC championship and to the runner-up spot in the National Junior College Athletic As sociation’s Region 10 tournament. During his three years as head coach at Lees-McRae the Bobcats chalked up a 57-33 record overall and were 26-15 in the conference. Mars Hill, which joined the senior college ranks in 1964, plays in District 6 of the Nationai Association for Intercoliegiate Athletics (NAIA). The Baptist school is not aligned with any conference but competes as an independent in footbali, bas ketball, baseball, tennis, track and golf. Lytton said Saturday he con sidered the Mars Hill position an opportunity to step up from the junior college ranks. “In fact,” he said, “ever since I joined the Lees- McRae staff I’ve had my eyes on Mars Hill College.” Lytton’s father, the Rev. Norman W. Lytton of Sur- goinsville, Tenn., is an alumnus of Mars Hill. The new Mars Hill coach is a na tive of Statesville. He played three years of varsity ball at Appalachian State University in Boone, where he earned a B.S. degree in 1964. He served as assistant basketball coach for the Apps while working for a master’s degree, which he received in 1965. He coached at West Lincoln High School in Lincointon for a year and joined the staff at Lees-McRae in 1966 as assistant cage coach. Lytton is married to the former Myrtle Myers of Salisbury. They have a two-year-old son.

W. Clausen’s statements to his sharehoiders’ annuai meeting concerning youth’s right to dissent— without vioience. Bank of America Corporation’s branch in Santa Bar bara, Caiifornia, was recently burned to the ground by University of Caii- fornia at Santa Barbara students who were protesting the infiuence of American capitaiism in the Viet nam War. SAN FRANCISCO, March 17 — Bank of America President A. W. Clausen today warned about the dangers of destroying academic freedom and restricting the right of dissent in the process of combating anarchy on college campuses. “Certainly the educational process cannot be carried on in an atmos phere of anarchy,” Clausen said. “But as we battle the anarchy which plagues our campuses, let us be certain that we do not damage our educational system in a more subtle and insidious way — by de stroying the freedom of thought, in quiry and action which constitutes the only soil in which true educa tion can flourish. Addressing BankAmerica Corpor ation’s annual shareholder’s meet ing at the Masonic Auditorium, Clausen emphasized that the bank has great respect for the young peo ple of America. “We admire their integrity, their moral courage, and their willingness to dissent. “Our quarrel is with those who would perpetrate violence for any cause, whether it is violence in Isla Vista or violence in another small community 3,000 miles away called Lamar, South Carolina.” Half of Clausen’s policy statement was devoted to refuting six charges by those who call themselves “the revolutionary movement.” The char ges are; That the Bank of America profits from the Vietnam War; represents the capitalistic establishment; sup ports racism; exploits the lesser de veloped nations; represses farm la bor and takes anti-union stands; and possesses unlimited power over the American economy. Terming these charges absurd, Clausen said they are nevertheless “dangerous becaus they represent the technique of the big lie—repeat it often enough and forcefully en ough and some people will bgin to believe it.” Speaking of the Vietnam War, Clausen referred to it as “abhorrent” and reiterated Bank of Amrica’s po sition that, rather than benefitting business, the war “distorts the American economy, is a major con tributor to inflation, and draws off resources that could be put to work toward solving imperative problems facing this nation at home.” The bank, Clausen said, has con sistently pointed out that an end to the war would be “good, not bad, for American business. Clausen noted that the “capitalis tic” U.S. spends proportionately more than three times as much of its gross national production on social services than does “socialis tic” India. “So what does ‘capitalist’ mean? What does ‘socialist mean? This use of words out of context — words without meaning — is perhaps one of the more troublesome attributes of the radical left. “I think we should remember that our system is able to evolve and generate self-improvement for the benefit of all. But with all the im provements needed, it remains an economic system that has produced the greatest good for the greatest number of people of any other sys tem on the face of the earth.” As for the third charge, Clausen said that if ali the institutions . in America were as racist as Bank of Amrica, “The country’s racial prob lems would be much closer to a solution.” Among the bank’s many tangible efforts to solve urban problems, he cited the bank’s active recruitment of minority group members which has resuited in the fact 20 per cent of the bank’s employes are from mi nority groups. Clausen also noted the bank’s special $100 million home loan pro gram for minority areas, and the fact the bank is the largiest financer of minority businesses in the na tion. Turning to the exploitation charge, Clausen said, “We quickly lose our welcome in any country where we do not make a positive contribution to its economic life and well being. “We are in several countries where social and economic reforms have occurred or are occurring. But we have not been seized, asked to leave, or even accused of exploi tation. “In making the claim of exploi tation, the radical left is either naive about political realities abroad, or callously making use of an outdated shibboleth of their own ends.” As for the anti-union charge. Clau sen said that Bank of America is the principal bank for most of the unions in California. “We have never overtiy or covertly contributed to anti-labor causes. “We believe the key to the so lution of farm labor problems is found in the development of effec tive labor legislation designed spe cifically for agriculture” and taking into consideration that the problems of farm labor are very different from those of industrial labor. “We need specific farm labor leg islation that recognizes the plight of the migrant worker, his need for both dignity and voice, while at the same time acknowledging and deal ing with the problem of perishable crops.” Clausen termed the charge about controlling the American economy “an obvious hoax.” “Across the nation some 14,000 banks compete for the public’s fa vor. A combination of competition and government regulation makes it utterly impossible for any one bank, or banking industry collectively, to wield the kind of power the radical left seems to believe we have at our disposal.” No, they are not putting my picture on football bubble gum cards. After much consideration and a due amount of grief given to the lack of sports coverage in this news paper, the Hilltop would like to an nounce that the present staff cannot cover sports. There have been three sports editors in the last three se mesters and all three have left the staff due to other responsibilities. Neither the Editor-In-Chief, the Man aging Editor, nor the Feature Edi tor has the time to solicit sports news. If the students desire to have the student newspaper cover sports, the students will have to assume a more participatory role in the paper’s life. 1984 is only 14 years awaH If the shoe fits . .
