flannel shirts, down vests, over

sing for men and women alike. Khaki, the
crisp, neat fabric—is also important in fall
and winter dressing.
With increased awareness of the impor
tance of physical fitness, running has become
a national pastime. Jogging suits come in all
shapes, sizes, and colors for both guys and
girls.
Colors this year are not the bold primary
colors of past years, but are a subdued pot
pourri of tones and tints. Black remains
fashion’s Number 1 dress-up color. Other
colors to look for this season include: wild
English rose colors (wine, pink, plum), natur
al earth tones and smoky tones (beige, rust,
blues), and shades of reds, oranges, and
purples.
Disco madness has brought about the
newest fashion developments. In the finale,
entitled “Last Dance”, pretty, feminine
dresses were the scene-stealers. Tiny prints,
blouson tops, swingy skirts, sparkles and
glitter, are used to make Winter ’78 the
Season of the Dress. The ultimate fabric
for formal dressing is qiana, a dropable, silk
like fabric which is available in a wide range
of colors.
More formal dressing is also the fashion
message for men this year. A three-piece
suit with the all-important vest is essential
for every man’s wardrobe.
Unfortunately this affair occurs only every
two years at MHC. It provides Mars Hilli-
ans with the opportunity to see the latest
fashions up close and at no cost; and it gives
members of the class the chance to sample
all the work that is required for a successful
fashion show. In one word, that’s what
Fashion Fever ’78 was — a success.

Common sights on the campus of Mars
Hill College: beer and liquor bottles on the
lawns of residence halls on Saturday and
Sunday mornings, residence halls vandal
ized, members of the opposite sex in dorms,
and vandalized cars. Some students are get
ting downright sick of it. Known to you or
not, these students are having meetings and
complaining to administration. The general
consensus is “we came to school here fully
aware of the rules, but they are being widely
ignored: if there are going to be rules—en
force them!” These aren’t just straight-laced
Baptist religion majors, either; only con
cerned students. A student in Melrose told
me about some girls spending the night in
that dorm one weekend, running up and
down the halls until late at night. He said
that he couldn’t even get into the bathroom
because they were in there. Some R.D.s have
been accused of “not giving a rip.” Not that
these problems are confined to Men’s Hill,
but Common sense should dictate that it
gets difficult to use the phone or commode
when you have ripped them off of the wall.
When an administrator was confronted by
students with complaints of goings on, he
reportedly was surprised and seemed not to
be aware of the bulk of the problem.
It could go back to Dr. Bentley’s Convo
cation speech; whose college is this? It is
said that people, like the UNDER
GROUND staff, shouldn’t complain about
the rules—no one was forced to come to
MHC; if they don’t like the rules . . . then
leave, (an interesting note about the
UNDERGROUND: it bears MHC’s seal
and inscription, “Pro Christo Adolescenti-
busque”—“For Christ and Youth.”) So this
is the Baptist Church’s school, but some of
the goings-on cause many people to contest
this.
The HILLTOP talked to Brad Tilley,
President of the SGA. He said, “I think that
these are side issues, too much emphasis is
put there; the real issue is that if the students
are upset about something, they should get
involved.” He went on to say that not every
one can be policed, and things will go on, to
a degree, no matter what. Good point. Secur
ity can’t stand by the dorm doors and make
sure that no one carries a case of Strohs in
(but do they ever miss an illegally parked
car?).
Things are changing though, floors of
residence halls are being billed collectively
for tampering with fire equipment and van
dalism. A proposed desk at the front door
lobby and no use of the back doors in the
dorms would check unwanted guests and
people walking out the door with someone’s
stereo. People are getting fed up with either
the rules or the lack of respect thereof. About
changing rules, it was said that a good argue-
ment against allowing beer is the fact that the
campus beer drinkers are hardly mature
enought to drink it legally, because of the
mess and trouble they cause.
What does the campus community-
students, staff, think? Does anything
discussed anger anyone? If so-good!
Complain. Go to the SGA. Write to the
HILLTOP. If you are being bothered by the
beer party next door when you are trying to
study, complain. You have people backing
you up.
