Not For The Serious Reader...

As the 1982-83 school year comes to a close, we all have a tendency to reflect on
our accomplishments and shortcomings of the previous months. Yes, even as
editors, we have the tendency to want to make one of our last editorials a reflection
of how the year has been, what we’ve done and what we would have liked to have
done.
Instead, we’d like to present you with typical Mars Hill thought as it was in 1946.
After reading this we believe you’ll feel a little bit luckier to be a student in 1983. We
did.
“Mars Hill has just begun its second post-war year. Although the situation is far
from normal, we at least may be thankful that our armed forces are not engaged in
violence and that there is not hope for a better and happier world in the near
future.’’
Co-Editors Carol Homan and Wayne Richardson obviously reflected student opi
nion when they wrote that editorial in the September 21, 1946 issue of THE
HILLTOP. Students in that day and time had just seen their country go to war.
They had seen many of their friends leave at an early age to fight that war. They
hadn’t seen some of them return.
As students in this day and time, we don’t feel the cold shadow of war as they did
in ’46. Most of us don’t have the fear of another world conflict breaking out sudden
ly. We don’t feel the same insecurity that they felt in knowing that world tensions
were still on edge.
Even though our world is troubled by problems over nuclear freezes, revolu
tionary countries and fanatic dictators, we still don’t have that imminent sense of
war that they had.
We should feel fortunate that our experience with war is distant. We should con
tinue hoping and working to see that it stays that way.
Dear Editor of Letters to the Editor,
The issue is not whether or not the legal drinking age should be raised or lo'*'®’*
The issue is not whether we can vote at 18, but not have a brew until 19.
not whether or not we should be drafted at 18, if there were a draft, and sl'^
have a brew. Is the issue whether or not it’s raining men; whether or not ^
Manilow is Barry Man-enough? The issue is that we feel it is ridiculous
should pay adult prices at the movie theatres at age 12 when we are not consi‘
adults yet. .[
Does this mean that anyone who pays an adult admission to the theatre
drafted at the popcorn stand? No! Seeing as how we consider 12-year-olds ast
shouldn’t we serve them beer at the concession stand? Are we to become**
society? I think not! Do we really want teenyboppers littering our high
prison blocks - for they are being tried like drunks and are not drunk like one^
a double standard or what? Who cares if Barry Manilow is Man-enough? ^
Should movie theatres now have breath analyzers at each seat? We are thor°“'j
disgusted, appalled, perturbed, and have yucky feelings on the inside of .
mies about the whole situation. What are we going to do? Get every 12-ye*'’'® ^
on his bike for D.U.I.? C’mon! Give ’em a break! They already have to
prices at the movies! Drinking and theatres don’t mix. So “give a hoot an**
pollute.”
Sincerely,
Captains Underwear and Underoo*
P.S. Hey, why are the study desks in the quiet area of the library shap*
Swastikas?
