Page Four, THE HILLTOP, April 29, 1977 Around Campus Pippin Chosen CSM President. In an election held April 19, 1977, Tina Pippin, junior relig ion major, was voted president for the Chris tian Student Movement. Elections for other CSM leadership positions were held April 26, 1977. Ms. Pippin plans to institute several new as pects of the organization and to continue in some already established. Along with Phil Weast and Dr. Bob Melvin, Pippin has de veloped the idea of creating a council to be com posed of all the presidents of all campus organi zations. The purpose of the council would be to promote better communication of student at titudes and better coordination of events a- mong the groups. Other interests stated by Pippin are engaging in more fund-raising ac tivities for charity and developing more co operation with the community and with area churches. Ms. Pippin also plans to continue the Religious Issues Supper Forum, which will feature MHC alumnus and Wingate Campus Minister David Smith on May 3, 1977 in the President’s Dining Room. When asked to comment on what she envis ions as the direction she wishes CSM to take. Pippin said: “We want CSM to be more open, to include all students. I suppose it is idealistic, but our goal is to develop an air of acceptance between people of differing beliefs and ideas.” Spring Musical Events.

Recent research undertaken by members of the SGA has led to the recognition of a problem among students at Mars Hill: that of the need for an emergency relief fund. The SGA has formulated what they hope will be a viable solution. The particulars of the plan are as follows: D) Any student in need of funds due to an emergency may borrow money from the SGA. (2) A student must prove beyond reasonable doubt there is such an emergency to at least two officers of the SGA. (3) A student will sign a contract specifying the date money will be repaid. (4) No interest will be charged; however, there will be a fifty cent service charge. (5) The finance committee will deter mine the total amount of money to be allocated to the Emergency Loan Fund. (6) The finance committee will determine the maximum amount a student may receive. (7) All funds allocated to the Emergency Loan Fund will come from funds generated by the refrigerator rentals and not from student activity fees. (8) If any student needs funds for materials which may be purchased at the Bookstore, the student will be issued a requisition which will be re turned following the purchase. An Invitation.

College seniors planning to take the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) Aptitude Test next fall will see some changes in the exam. A new section designed to measure analytical skills will be added to the traditional areas that test verbal and quantitative skills. Educational Testing Service (ETS), which administers the exam for the GRE Board, explains that the additional measure will en able students to demonstrate a wider array of academic talents when they apply for admis sion to graduate schools. Janis Somerville, GRE program director at ETS, said, “The new measure will test a stu dent’s skills in a number of areas. Students will be able to show their ability to recognize logical relationships, draw conclusions from a complex series of statements, and determine relationships between independent or interde pendent categories or groups.” Phi Mu Alpha Presents Collegiate Sound.

Mar hum her. an for. Michel article in ar 'Portance of The great majority of Hilltop editorials so far this year have attempted to deal w* what we thought were touchy questions about dominant campus concerns. Naturally- f bout the only response we received concerned the editorial we wrote about conditions i the cafeteria. In the same issue, when we attacked mismanagement of finances at t highest levels of this college, we got no response whatsoever. We could have mter^ preted this silence in a number of ways: either no one read the editorial, no one stood its full import, or no one questioned the validity of stands taken in it. Many like the idea of controversy — it breaks some of the routine of campus life. But t* are willing to “rock the boat” themselves, to actually risk their own secure little find out the truth, and even more important, to dream that things could be different. ^ seemingly isolated position has even been a source of great frustration, especially the Board for Student Communications, supposedly a source of support, is so geared preserving the status quo. For that reason, many of our completely serious oWegaW have been pleasantly covered up by compliments about the improved nature of the If we say nothing else this year let us reiterate that we are violently opposed to the stat quo, especially when it subverts ethics and creativity for the sake of personal expedief ^ We, as co-editors of the 1976 Laurel demonstrated this attitude by cutting through conve tion to fashion a totally different type of yearbook. Our goal has been the same this to channel what creativity we had into transforming the college newspaper into not work of art but also a voice speaking out against those things we thought were shady unfair. If we have succeeded in such a goal it has been only through the help of sev® . special people: first, the Hilltop staff itself has contributed immeasurably through t” . diligence and faithfulness, especially Cheryl Aldridge and Jill Adams; second.
