Usually, the editorial comments made in this
newspaper are written by the editor-in-chief. How
ever, from time to time an issue arises which is of
direct concern to the entire editoriai board. In order
to allow a wider range of opinion and criticism to the
editoriai reflections of this paper, the Hilitop will some
times print editoriais which are derived from the editoriai
board rather than from one person. Ali decisions made
by the board are voted on after much discussion with
a majority rule carrying the weight of the decision.
Mr. Hai Tribble, publisher of the Asheville Citizen-
Times, once commented in connection with his paper’s
editorial policy; “The editorial views of this paper rep
resent one point of view, ours.” It is in this same spirit
that the Hilltop operates.

Terry’s decision was completely his own. In his own
words it was based on his desire “to see the Hilltop
continue its efforts to be and to become the best
student newspaper possible.” He said he realized, after
shouldering the full duties of editor for the first two
issues, that he simply does not have the training and
experience the task requires. I disagree, but I re
spect his decision.
I trust and respect Terry and Linda, and I have
faith in them and their decisions. My thanks, therefore,
to Terry for his good work and for his high example
of integrity and courage. Welcome, then, to Linda and
to the opportunities which are ahead. I am confident
the Hilltop will continue its efforts to be a respected
and responsible student newspaper.

There will be a town and campus clean-up, be
ginning at 4:30 P.M., next Wednesday, Sept. 30. The
clean-up sponsored by Student Government Associa

It’s a neat idea.

News of the change in editors is reported on the
front page, but the shift deserves additional mention
here.
As advisor for the Hilltop, I work closely with the
editors and their staffs. I get to know them quite well.
I have worked with Linda Baldwin for nearly four years,
and I have developed confidence in her. I have
worked with Terry Kuykendall for a little more than a
year, and I have come to appreciate his idealism, his
talents and his keen desire to learn and to improve
himself. It is, therefore, with a mixture of feelings that
I have accepted Terry’s request to relinquish the editor
ship and have followed his suggestion in asking Linda
to assume the position.

Terry also said he knows Linda does have the
necessary experience and training, and he feels that
she will do a good job as editor as she did during the last
two academic years. His decision to resign coincided
with Linda’s completion of her duties as coordinator
of the summer internship program in the Community
Development Institute, an opportune time for her to
return to her familiar position with the paper.
“Peace Talk”
Dear Editor,
The “peace symbol” itself might
not be a product of today’s youth.
It may have been called the “Crows’
Foot”, or the “Witches’ Foot”, or a
symbol used by those opposed to
Christianity way back in the Middle
Ages. The symbol could be an age-
old design and never associated with
the meaning peace. What’s the big
deal? Today, it is a symbol for peace.
I find it hard to believe that some
people cannot grasp the meaning of
the word change. Christ himself
changed the symbol of the cross
from death to life.
I would be wrong if I said that all
people wearing a “peace symbol”
stood for peace, but it would be far
worse to call them representatives of
the Anti-Christ or a communist move
ment just because of a “peace sym
bol.” You surely can’t call a person
a Christian just because a cross is
hanging about his neck.
Some young people sincerely
would like to see peace in the world.
They don’t like our involvement in
Viet Nam, or that, by one mistake,
the world could be involved in a
nuclear war which could destroy us.
Why not youth expressing their views,
especially those problems directly
involving them? They could be ex-

Attention! Fellow slaves in the academic market, ^
you been down to the Lion’s Den to lounge around
cently? The furniture is really cool. Herds of studen-
have already discovered that the sofas are comfy
for catching up on sleep before, between, and duf ■
classes. Thanks to Danny Ray and the Student
ment Association for promoting this addition f? '

working students. Everyone needs a place to rest
weary bones and now we’ve got it.

I cannot understand why our
“peace symbol” of today could
cause such a disturbance. What does
a symbol mean without action? Some
action taken for the cause of peace
might not be symbolic of peace but
what about the real demonstrations
for peace. What about youth that
care; are they communist just be
cause of the “peace symbol”? Don’t
forget that symbols can have all
kinds of interpretations. I would
think that Christ’s first church would
interpret the cross a little different
than our Southern members of the
Ku Klux Klan.

in the Sept 12 Hilltop from Miss

Dear Miss Servie
Your ideal of putting peace back
into Christmas is grand. The ideal
of spending your money where it is
really needed is even grander. Un
fortunately, like many idealistic and
noble-minded people, you seem to

factured after Nov. 1 will be sold with the srh?
