Page Two, THE HILLTOP Sept. 9, 1978 editorial Ah yes, I admit it, many moons and several hundred suns ago, I was once a Mars Hill College freshmen myself. (Only I referred to myself as a freshperson since I was not a fresh man, myself being a young college woman.) I am sorry to say I recall my first week of college life with no fond memories. I did not know a soul. The first weekend I stayed in my dorm room eating peanutbutter crackers be cause I did not want to eat by my lonesome in the cafeteria. G.A.T.E.- W.A.Y. and my inentor group tried to keep me busy but in between meetings and socials the hours were boring and lonesome. When classes finally started, when upper classpeople arrived, col lege became exciting and time consuming. I love it here at M.H.C. I am happy here. I was recently talking with several ’78 freshpeople who had the sarne introduction to college life as my own sorry saga. These conver sations prompted me to write this conglomeration of words in the form of an editorial. In my opinion the arriving date for freshpeople should be moved to two days earlier than upperclass people, not four. It is feasible. Most other colleges do it. I would be interested in some response from other students and faculty members as to my idea - for or against it. WELL . . . what do you say? Use the Hilltop for your own worthy replys. DMMB Dear Editor, We cannot adequately express our deep gratitude to the faculty, staff, students, and friends who sympathized with us during our time of bereavement over the death of our son. Thanks for the prayers, cards, calls, visits, flowers, and all else you did for us which en hanced the confirmation of Mars Hill as a Christian community. God bless you all. - Roger and Peggy Underwood Dear Student, The Student Gov't Association would like to appologize for the condition of some of the refrigerators rented.

[•7175 Study Tips from aap student service In a lecture hall, the best place to sit is in the middle, towards the front, where you can see and hear easily. Believe it or not, those who sit in this position usually do better than those who sit in the back. -Harry Maddox HOW TO STUDY, Fawcett Books Recitation is an effective device for learning while reading a textbook. To make certain that you understand and remember, you should stop periodically and try to recall to yourself what you have read. This is recitation. -Morgan § Deese HOW TO STUDY, McGraw-Hill bb There is a great deal of difference be tween high school study methods and those at the college level. In college you will have to learn more material in less time, and learn most of it outside of class. Another difference is you will have to think more. Some courses require that yoU criticize or evaluate information and not merely accept it because it is the printed word. -Gary E. Brown A STUDENT'S GUIDE TO ACADEMI^^ SURVIVAL, Harper § Row Learn to think physically in relationship to cause and effect in history. Geography, econ omic conditions, even the air men breathe (whether fresh or saturated with smog) influence history. Do not overlook the world in searching for a detail. -William H.
