on the efforts. Because of Gerald
Plumley and Taylor Orr and the
many phone calls, the speakers were
contacted.
Student participation was at a
minimum. When it was announced
that money would be offered to the
group that could pick up the most
trash, most everyone was willing to
participate. However when the
monetary awards were withdrawn by
the SGA student interest diminished
considerably.
According to Dr. Hoffman 80% of
the student body was free on the
afternoon designated for the com
munity cleanup. There had been
some discussion as to calling off
classes for that day. However they
were not cancelled. Earth Week
activities went on as planned by the
Committee, since they had nothing
to do vyith the request that classes
be cancelled.
The week ended with enviro-
movies on Thursday evening, and
closed on this thought—"moving to
ward a new environmental ethic.”

•j '0 be perfectly honest no im-
' earth shaking decisions
about — but the underlying
discoveries seem to me just as, if
not more, important. I mentioned
the fact that I was impressed by the
faculty and administration. I was a
little taken back when I finally
realized just how willing they are to
cooperate with us. The fact that
almost 20 faculty/administratlon
members were there, I believe shows
quite a bit. It became evident to me
that the better part of the "adults”
were ready for change; they were
open to new ideas. In short, they
had their stuff together. The stu
dents of Mars Hill, I saw, were'the
ones lagging behind. Yes, we are
the ones that aren’t together. May
be we are the ones not really want
ing change, the ones without real
interest or initiative. Maybe we are
the ones unable to accept that
something can be done to stop the
"tyranny” of the administration
which because of our apathy we are
actually responsible for.
An important subject brought up
during the many deep discussions
was COMMUNICATION. How do we
communicate to the rest of Mars Hill
College the happenings of the Con
ference? Here, I find one of the
keys to a better Mars Hill. Through
communication the student body can
be brought together. Together we
it I
four 10 by 12 foot bedrooms, with
connecting bath, a livingroom, and
a kitchen unit. A college telephone
and additional half-bath will also be
provided.
Two utility units, one on each
floor, will be built into the complex.
One will be provided with washers,
dryers, and vending machines;' the
other will be used as a recreation
area.
The townhouse complex will be
located in back of Myers Dormitory,
by the tennis courts. The complex
will provide places for 80 students.
Rooms in the townhouses will be
rented on a first come basis, by
classes. The rooms can be rented
on an existing roommate basis. Both
men and women students can rent
rooms in the complex.
A room in a townhouse will cost
$150 per semester. This is about
$15 more than Gibson or Fox dormi
tories. The college is financing the
complex on a lease-purchase ar
rangement, in which the building
will revert to the college after a
period of years.
When asked his opinion of the
matter. Dr. Gehring said: "I think
this is a totally new concept in col
lege housing, by providing students
small individual housing units. Very
few colleges have this type of hous
ing. Also, by housing both men and
women in these units we will be
offering opportunities for more
natural relationships between men
and women. This will be the first
time a single house council will be
composed of both men and women.”

can become aware, alive and active.
Somethings, I’m sure most people
agree Mars Hill needs. But to do
this we need interest, concern and
a spirit of willingness to work. The
“adults” are not going to give us
anything. We as students must work
for it and perhaps fight. One thing
is for sure, a divided and uninformed
student body creates Nothingness,
to me, is a waste of valuable time.
If questions come to your mind
about the talks at Christmount or if
by chance you are roused to inter
est, don’t let it die inside of you.
Talk, check into your own questions,
take the initiative, go to your Sena
tors, or class officers; question,
doubt, rebel against apathy and
excuses.
A final word, this Conference was
organized and funded by S.G.A.,
who did a fine job in all the arrange
ments. I would like a special word
to go to John Bucy in that neither
rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail
stopped him from delivering three
wonderful meals to us. Any com
ment, criticism, cuts of congratula
tions are welcome. I would greatly
appreciate responses from you, the
students or faculty, concerning
Christmount. Piease, LET’S GET IT
TOGETHER!
