Page Two MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA iS^nJicatcJ tSyintli tests There are, in the minds of many Mars Hiiiians, con cerns for the ieadership, poiicy, and direction of organized student communications. The editors of the Hilltop have reviewed the effectiveness of the com munications boards of a number of coileges and universities in the southeast and now present a pian for such a board here. We recommend that a portion of the activity fee go directly to the communications board and be dis tributed among WMHC, the Laurel, and the Hilltop, each year, as is done with monies for athietic pro grams. The board shouid have no affiiiation with any organization or agency of Student Government Association. By inciuding any SGA representative on the board, student communications risk having funds and/or poiicy decisions arbitrarily blocked by the student legislature. This is a basic vioiation of a free press. WMHC, the Laurel, and the Hilltop, in order to be effective instruments of communications and capabie of objective commentaries, must remain separate from the student government. By having open eiec- tion of publications’ editors and the radio station’s managers, the communications board will be able to offer the student body at large a greater degree of participation in their communications systems without endangering those systems’ freedom. The Editorial Board Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be iimited without being lost. —^Thomas Jefferson Newspapers are the schoolmasters of the common peo ple. That endless book, the newspaper, is our national glory. Henry Ward Beecher ^"hUorc/ of ^"lA/ayningr The Hilltop has been notified by the Consumer Pro tection Division of the N. C. Attorney General’s office that at least one questionable organization is now making solicitations for magazine subscriptions in col leges across the state. Young people are approaching students in their dormitory rooms, representing that they need a number of “points” from magazine sales in order to obtain scholarship funds. These solicitors then ask for payment by check, made payable to the individual solicitor. In some instances the student is advised that if he wishes to cancel the order, or stop payment on the check, the solicitor will still get his “points” and the student will have helped him to get his scholarship funds. The check is cashed immediately. Students are warned to beware solicitations from strangers who request immediate payment of money. Any student who learns of a suspected fraudulent solicitation should notify the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General’s office, P. O. Box 629, Raleigh, N. C. 27602. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS It is our conviction that a communications board, consisting of WMHC’s general manager and one as sistant manager, the editor and one assistant editor of the Laurel, the editor-in-chief and one assistant editor of the Hilltop and Mr. Walter P. Smith, acting as an ex-officio member, should be established as an autonomous body 1) to act as publisher of the Laurel and the Hilltop and in a similar capacity to WMHC, 2) to review all policy and censorship questions pre sented by any member of the board or member of the student body, 3) to act as financial overseers, serving in an advisory and supervisory capacity and responsible for counseling in fiscal matters, and 3) to select by closed nomination, candidates (who meet certain stated qualifications) for all editorships and managerial positions, who would be chosen in open student elections. This last item would offer students the opportunity, which they do not now have, to elect persons to these positions. By using closed nomina tions by members of the communications board, stu dents would be assured that all candidates were qualified for the designated positions. “I've A^K6P. to Pl6CU5g VVITH YOU TH6 CON-nENT OF THl5ALLeabP ORIGINAL TERM PAPER YOU TUIJNEI?

This grossly exaggerated false hood was no doubt part of a master plan to discredit the eagerness, the faithfulness, and the spirit of sheer dedication that members of the Editorial Board possess. In order to rectify this shameful injustice the entire Editorial Board, Linda Baldwin and her humble serfs, the brilliantly blunt Laine Calloway, ever ready Frank Farrell, and eventual John Ulmer do hereby declare office hours.
