status on the grounds of prior
reiigious training. The students,
Brock Henry and John Mason, sub
mitted the proposai on Tuesday,
November 23, at 2:30 P.M. It came
to a vote at 11:45 Wednesday. The
vote, according to Mason, was “may
be two or three to one.
When asked if he was surprised
by the conventions action, “to a
certain extent I was surprised that
the convention is as liberal as it is.
I had expected them to be ultra
conservative.” He went on to say
that the resolution, that was ex-

B Weird quality scrawled
amidst the “mural madness.” Ran
dom remarks concerning the cafe
teria, Boones Farm and other
epicurian adventures add to the
visual college of nonsense or bril
liance. Many rock oriented students
found this an opportunity to air bits
of wisdom from their favorite groups.
You can read the hallowed words of
the Moody Blues, the Rolling Stones,
Jethro Tull, The Who, and other
artists. Those who dream of large
universities were represented too.
Sentiments were expressed for the
likes of LSU, Wake Forest, Alabama,
Tennessee and Penn State. A series
of inscriptions (epitaphs) taken from
Tombstones has also appeared
along with several poems, tacked up
by mysterious authors.
By all means, go down to McCon

pressed by Mars Hill students. If
you feel inspired enough, contribute
something yourself. Remember the
words of an unknown MHC philoso
pher whose choice expressions may
be seen there: “When in danger,
when in doubt, run in circles, scream
and shout.”

Ken Chamlee adds his quibble to the multitude presented on the McConnell wall.
Sentiments range from the ridiculous to the sublime.
Human Societies sections.
The wall was painted by the
tensively reworded in committee,
“says everything that we had wanted
to say.” Henry added that the reso
lution was “more iiberai and ail em
bracing than the originai proposai.”
Mason also said he felt the “con
vention was a good convention and
the meeting was a good meeting.
The spirit of God moved them and
you couid teii it.”
This is the text of the resoiution
as passed by the convention.
WHEREAS, the young men of this
nation have continuousiy been con
fronted, since 1940, with the neces
sity to respond to the cali to military
service, and
WHEREAS, the Federal laws per
mit options with respect to military
service, including provisions for
registration as conscientious objec
tors to war of those of draft age, and
WHEREAS, Baptist bodies, includ
ing the Southern Baptist Convention
and the Baptist State Convention of
North Caroiina have recognized that
some Christian young men make a
conscientious decision to enter mili
tary service while others, for con
science’s sake, affirm their con
scientious objection to war, and
elect this form of Christian witness,
and
WHEREAS, Baptists have sought
to minister to the young men who
enter service and also to the con
scientious objectors,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RE
SOLVED
That this Convention commend its
Council on Christian Life and Public
Affairs for the pubiication of the
pamphlet “The Church’s Ministry to
Youth Facing Military Service”
That we urge the widespread dis
tribution and use of this pamphlet as
a practical aid to pastors and others
who counsel, and by young men
facing military service, and
That we further call up ourselves
and our fellow Baptists to respect
the integrity of young people who
conscientiously serve and those who
are conscientious objectors, and
That we work for a climate of
compassionate acceptance without
attaching a stigma to the conscien
tious participant or to the consci
entious objector, and
Finally, that we join with ail peo
ple of goodwill who work to remove
the causes of war and who promote
a just peace in this fateful era of
human history.

never getting anywhere. Fast-talking
Bill Eary might like an SGA that
doesn’t SAG. Too much flab where
their guts are supposed to be.
Ed Sams, critic-famous, might like
a copy of “What Made Oscar Wilde.”
The drama department is really in
need of some actors. They are
having to resort to use of faculty in
productions. Oh yeah, and the
Owen building could use a ghost
from Blithe Spirit.
The cafeteria deserves a silver
platter for improvements in a
disaster area. And John Buoy wants
a copy of the “I Hate to Cook” cook
book. He’s a good man, Santa.
Dean Gehring would flip over a new
Mickey Mouse coloring book. His
you if you gave them a list of things
to do in the Holy Lands in January.
Doc Blevins would also like a copy
of “Judea on Thirty Pieces of Sil
ver A Day”. Doc Leininger could
use some new clothes. The other
day he came to Philosophy in his
gym shorts.
Poor Jack Willis has been up late
at night working for once in his
life. Please Santa show him what
to do with a typewriter. As for
Walter Smith, he might like a board
tor communication.
Terry Kuykendall is desperately
trying to find a copy of “The Once
And Future King” I wonder why?
The library needs some books to
put all those markers in. Mad Joe

B from case to case and
and he had almost finished coloring
one of them. And by the way his
crayons melted, you better bring
some of those too.
The Greeks might like a statue of
Goliath. Didn’t he have rocks in his
head?
Jim Long would groove on the two
page pamphlet...“How To Become A
Baptist”.
The Religion Dept, would bless
Instamatic broke when he tried to
make an artistic shot of the under
neath of his shoe. He stepped on
it. Crunch.
The CSM wishes that its letters
would stop changing into BSD. That
would make it easier for them to
change their image. The Alley Door
would like some kind of gift that
would change it into something more
than just another hole in the alley.
Renew that spirit!!
A.A.R.G.H. would like some paper
to continue it’s creative graffeti pro
gram in the cafeteria. WMHC
would like a “Fish” dinner with all
the fixings. Betty Moss would like
somebody to read her senate min
utes. Laine Calloway might like a
Mickey Mouse watch. John McNutt
would like to go through one week
without falling asleep in class. I’m
sure the Freshman class is looking
for a way out. ■ Ralph Nadar doesn’t
want anything. Rent-a-Cop wants
an autographed picture of Frank
Rizzo. Kae Sherrill would like
something to say, other than “Far
Out” in Leiningers class. Mars Hill
could definitely use another horse...
just to raise the towns status. Miss
Snelson would like a copy of “the
King and I”. Dr. Hoffman could use
a lemon with 4-1-4 inscribed on it.
The Hilltop might like a staff every
now and then.
Betty Jolley would look super
great in a shag wig. And “Doc”
Jolley could use some road maps.
Miss Bierbaum needs an electric
cake cutter.
The NSF’ers, past and hopefully
present, would like some clean air
and also $19,000. Karen Cummings
wants a Give-A-Show projector that
turns itself on by itself.
My friend Charlie B. especially
wants you to bring George Peery
an “Inquirer of the Year” award.
And also a guide to understanding
Capricorns that blush constantly. As
for gifts to bring Charlie B, bring
these: one chocolate pound cake,
a dictionary that spells “facetious”
and pronounces it, a living breathing
swimming goldfish, some more pro
tein, a chili dog and a picture of
“little jimmy”.
To “Doc” Bentley I suggest a new
rag to clean his car with and a 14
carat button that says “I AM THE
PRESIDENT”.
Now Santa, these next gifts are
super important so don’t forget them.
Please bring to Sharon Ziglar one
fantastic wedding, an even better
honeymoon and happiness forever.
And please Santa, as you are pass
ing over South Carolina, stop and
give that nice lady named Myrt a
hug and a kiss.
Love,
Little Harvey Hilltop
