Page Two MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA Drug Corps or Bust New Answer to Problem Cont. from page one menters and this, of course, means that we are certainly not immune to the problems. The students, faculty, and administration of Mars Hill College realize that we, as a community, have a tremendous lack of knowledge with regard to the total drug scene and yet at the same time we feel an obligation to this community to have hard data available for students, and to provide counseling services for the potential user or one who has experi mented with drugs or even one who is a regular user of drugs.” SGA President Danny Ray said, “Because of the conflict in roles which would occur, I feel that the re sponse would be far better if any SGA official would not participate in the actual work of the corps but would lend wholehearted support to it.” The Editorial Board of the Hilltop has pledged full support of the proposed drug corps but have, as have SGA officials, also pledged to disassociate themselves from actual work in the corps because of the possible role conflict which could arise. As regards the proposed drug corps in relation to the room searches of last Wednesday night. Dr. Bentley said, “We all recognize the fact that on-the-spot room searches are an invasion of privacy and that the free doms of the total student body are placed in jeopardy by a few persons who abuse the regulations. Likewise, we are aware of the fact that these searches will not serve as a long-range constructive program for students at MHC, even' though they may act as an immediate deterrent, the consequence of which will probably be to send the problem underground. It is therefore with all of this in mind that we propose to arrive at an educa tional program which can have constructive value rather that punitive effects.” S£-S WH£N RE 'SPBty one ONtomitM IS rSlDE THONEToADORM^^^^^I^— IM order! Drug usage for other than medical purposes is no longer restricted to any one of the several subcultures in our society; to a significantly large percentage of our population it is a frequent, sometimes regular indulgence of the mind and body. For too long the nation s general attitude has been one of, “If I keep my eyes closed long enough, then when I open them again the prob lem will be gone.” This game of hide-and-seek tomfoolery is easy to play with the unidentified masses of persons whom we call “Them.” But the game is difficult to play with our own. In fact, when it’s one or more of us who is involved in any kind of drug experimentation or who is caught up in a kind of cyclothamia synthesized through a negative reaction to a drug, the word “game” goes sour in our mouths and we face reality; drugs are here. The proposed drug corps appears to be a refined, constructive reaction to the problem of drug abuse, its counseling and/or rehabilitative potential would be an asset to our community efforts to meet the needs of in dividuals. Drugs are to be reckoned with here and perhaps the most serious reckoning must be done by the students. A student cannot be so naive as to believe that he can frequently experiment with any drug harder than grass without it directly affecting his academic and personal life. In the same light, neither can one be so naive as to believe that he can experiment with grass or any harder drug and not face the legal penalties. It is here that the drug situation becomes a point of concern for the college community as well as that of the individual. To deny this is to negate any theory of social responsi bility and to ignore this is to commit a social injustice. We believe the establishment of a drug corps here would be a much-needed improvement and would of fer invaluable, long-term benefits to the citizens of the community. —The Editoral Board LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS C3 ?e pfeBsKEO F£je 5k-IBW finite MU *U)W6WKs' Ty ''^UT OPCOd/l^B YOU HAVE A PLACE IN COLLECE IF IT WEEEN'T FOKTH' PULL,LA'ZY,ll2l?£-SFbN5lELE,6--mPlP 6TUt7eNT; HovV EVE(2 WOULPWe EE ABUETO KECOONize..,.

Upperclassmen know, if they were here last year, that The Campus Corner was not open last year. When a short order restaurant doesn’t get enough business there may be a very good chance that it will have to close, perhaps permanently. Bill Chapman, Jr. Apathy Apalled Editor’s note: The following letter is a reprint from the Flambeau, official student newspaper of Florida State Univer sity. The letter appears in the Hilltop because the subject, if enacted, would have interesting effects upon the political life of the college com munity. Dear Editor: With the barrage of fall student elections, politically inclined groups have resumed their attacks against the apathetic voter. It is becoming obvious that the apathetic is being grossly mistreated. Not only has he voluntarily relin quished his voice in government (whether caused by aversion to worry or out of moral conjunctions is (Cont. on page 3) the Mars Hill College hIUtop Editor-in-chief ..

I propose that Florida State Uni versity establish an Apathetic Student Party, the Chairmanship of which to to be forced upon the dean of one of the more backward departments of the university. Candidates for the party ticket would be chosen by lottery from a list of students who have never dis tinguished themselves politically (never held office, joined a political group, nor voted in a student elec tion), who then would finalize their candidacy by swearing to support the platform of the ASP, namely to never vote for any new legislation, to support the discontinuation of any existing legislation, and to miss as many meetings as possible. As op posed to other candidates, ASP candidates would receive credit for every vote not cast by an eligible voter. Like most student governments, FSU has a group of people who are high in ambition and low in useful ideas. They see their office as a chance to do something, but do not realize that there are a very few things which a government can or should do (especially a student government).
