Saturday, May 8, 1971 MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA PageTWrday, May 8, Oil, Those Silk Purses and Sow’s Ears Money Talks Tuesday night lots of people in the dorms were hassled about pro cedure for choosing cheerleaders. Long into the night there were murmurs of concern, even ethics. There was even enough commit ment to righting wrongs for some people to write to the editor. But none of the “concerned students” had the courage of their convic tions to sign their names. Almost commitment to petty things is getting old around here. Has anybody heard of Washington lately? —Linda and Laine dent publications. It’s been hard on many student programs to live within the strict confines of not-so-certain budgets from semester to semester. This campaign, if successful, would guarantee funds to deserving stu dent projects—lots of them. Students with enough gumption certainly have the guts to raise the money to sponsor them. Package deals always were bet ter. —Linda Baldwin To Str, Love stand Up and Holler Emphasis “100,000” is emphasis on us.

Walter Smith, patient advisor to the Hilltop staff, is certainly responsible for teaching us to understand that eter nal vigilance is the price of journal ism. (We might add that we haven’t had a decent night’s sleep since.) with a smile and in silence—even by those of us who are advocates of all the news that’s fit to print and then some. Who could help but admire the guy who’s willing to stand in the shadows and point out the sunlight? We dedicate this issue of the Hill top to its mentor, Walter Smith. It’s strange that some of the most important stories never find their way into print, that some of the most Important lessons are acknowledged love, linda laine John frank Communications Board Set For Fall New quarters, new guidance, and new alignment for MHC student communications media appear cer tain in the light of preliminary plans announced this week by the admin istration. President Bentley stated that a long-discussed Board of Communi cations will be officially formed this summer and empowered to begin operation at the opening of the fall semester. The board will establish policy, formulate guidelines, and enunciate operational procedures for the Hilltop, Laurel, Cadenza, and other student communications media. The composition of such a board, its purpose, and its responsibilities are yet to be spelled out precisely: but the board will be composed of both students and faculty, according to Hilltop advisor Walter Smith, who has been given the task of compil ing the comprehensive recommenda tion regarding the formation of such a board. He has already received sugges tions and recommendations on the subject from personnel of the Hill top, Laurel, Cadenza, and WMHC staffs and from the faculty advisors of the latter two. Applications for the editorships of the Hilltop and the Laurel are cur rently being received by Mr. Smith. Copies of a special form for this purpose are available In the Hllltop- Laurel-Cadenza office as well as In his office. Deadline for filing such applications has been extended un til noon Tuesday (May 11). Selec tion of the editor for each publica tion will be made within a week thereafter in order that each might use the summer in planning for the 1971-72 academic year. in the light of recommendations by the inspection team of the South ern Association, which visited the campus last week, student communi cations media seem headed toward a closer affiliation with the student development program of the college and diminishing connection with the public relations branch of the col lege. Such a shift had already been In dicated in the last Issue of the Hill top, when It was revealed that ade quate facilities will be included for student publications in the proposed new Student Center, on which con struction will begin this summer. Now the administration has an nounced that plans are being formu lated to begin the shift sooner by moving the student publications of fice adjacent to the student develop ment (student affairs) area in Spil- man this summer. “Operating under a communica tions board and being physically closer to the formal student develop ment program should encourage the various student communications media toward greater usefulness on this campus,” Mr. Smith said. “It certainly will give them a new sense of responsibility in which to develop and to exercise freedom of expres sion.” bounds of the ^tmed Foreign Exchange Speechless? Dear Linda: When the French Language House opens for the January term, 1972, it will have a most appropriate oc cupant, a real live French girl. Miss Regine Robin, 23, of Suresnes, France. Through the cooperation of the MHC administration and the Institute of International Education, a French teaching assistantshlp has been awarded the young doctoral candi date, who is specializing in English and American literature and lan guage with emphasis on the works of Faulkner. She will devote about 10 hours a week to assisting the French department and will pursue her own studies during the remain der of her time. Although sched uling for Miss Robin has not yet been made, it is hoped that contact between her and every student of French will be possible and that she will gain as much knowledge, bene fit and pleasure from her acquaint ance with all on our campus as we expect to receive from her. Mrs. Marian Tisdale Dear Linda, As hard as it is for those who know me to believe it, for once in my life on last Tuesday—I was speechless. Lest you might misun derstand and think that I promise to continue such a policy, I would like to break this unheard of silence and say (at the risk of being “gushy” by Allen Kirk and “sentimental” by Gary Singleton): “HAPPINESS IS being chosen to receive the excel lence in teaching award from the students, faculty, and administration of Mars Hill College.” My love and gratitude to all, Betty J. Hughes Rahl Rah! Dear Editor: A Word of Thanks dear linda, i want to say a word of thanks to the student body for the great sup port it gave last week’s events. As everyone knows, this is the first time anything like this has been'at tempted at mars hill and i think on the whole the experiment was most successful, i think it should be emphasized that the entire week was student planned and student operated while loosely coordinated by the activities office, the week shows very well what students can do and I’m looking forward to a lot more of it in the future. After observing cheerleader try outs it is our opinion that the method for choosing cheerleaders should definitely be changed. Regardless of how hard they try, faculty and ad ministrative members cannot help but be prejudiced, especially when faculty members have taught some of the girls and when faculty daugh ters are trying out. Girls should be chosen strictly for their ability, en thusiasm, and performance with no regard to race or status. We feel that in the future judges should be persons who are not af filiated with the school and who are not associated with the girls in any way. PLEASE, can’t someone do some thing about this problem???
