Page Two MARS HILL COLLEGE HILLTOP Thursday, November 15, 1973 CONSIDER... by Eric Garner In recent months there has been open discussion on honesty and desire for Demo cracy. In the Repub lic of .Chile there has been more than a desire for Democracy, there is a desire for recognition of indi vidualism. Chile stretches almost 2000 miles from north to south and with the country, there are as many different types of people. A nation of 10 million people, all seeking, their own peaceful, simple, in dividual home life styles, is what Chile is composed of. In my journey there this summer, 1 witnessed the dis- truction of a country with a beautiful set ting among the snow covered Andes Mount ains and the internal corruption of people who only want to be left alone. Chile has been ripped apart by Coirmumism, Social ism, Fascism, Democr acy , and Individual ism. What is right for Chile? When I was in San tiago, I saw gigantic machine gun bullett holes in the outside walls of the Presi dential Palace. These were just a small indication of the internal rivalry that lead to the e- ventual murder of Salvador Allende in September. Allende had an idea of what he felt was right for Chile. Socialist and Marxist principles were his guideline in leading Chile in what he felt was the posi tive direction. Was Allende murdered as a martyr ? Was he right? When Allende be came President of Chile in 1970, he im mediately began to nationalize all cor porations and driving LAUREL moves ahead Priscilla Canupp and the Laurel Staff met the first dead line for the printers on Wednesday, Novem ber 15.

The Laurel Staff does need your assistance in being prompt for picture taking sessions so that they may produce a complete and inter esting '73-'74 Laur el . SGA out American invest ments . He broke down the large farms so that all people could have land. This wor ked fairly well until 1971 when the compan ies and farms began decline in produc tion. By 1973, the economy was suffering and all citizens have felt the blow. There is little food and fuel and existence is a way of day to day life that I find hard to descrive except that it is very near impossible. The Chi lian people are to be admired for their pride which generally means few riots. loo ting, and killing. The coup of September was purely political and very few of the majority really even know what has taken place. There is uncer tainty in Chile's fu ture . Living is a battle within itself. The strong American influence before Al lende is now all but gone. It is conciev- able that the smoth ering by the United States, lead to the election of Allende and the resulting in ternal conflict. Have over 5000 people been killed in Chile just because of Uni ted States business interests? Hopefully our political leaders will not look upon the Chilian situation as just another rev olution and forget a- bout it. We could be the cause for the disrupting of 10 mil lion peoples lives. But why should we care they speak a nother language and are in another hem isphere? It is pos sible that the United States should be the martyr not Salvador Allende. Again, the main question is "What is right?"

I see things I would like to try As opportunities pass I just sigh Rationalizing to my self with a lie "Next time" I cry To everything myself I'11 apply Opportunities I'11 not deny But to my nature I must comply "Next time" I cry. Death is one thing I can rely As I give my last re ply. There is nothing to do as I cry "Next time," but die. editor eric garner business manager belinda scalzo managing editor bonnie dark photographers andy stefanick ben sprouse staff billy stair, connie montague cole harris, j'on riddle, jim baker, tony sapp, marty Sanders, judith smiley, toni white, john forrester, wes pierce, tisha boland, marcia cope, tim haden, sam easterby jean hawkins, gene holdway advisor john Campbell The Hilltop is published by the Students of Mars Hill College, P.O.
