HILLTOP FEMALE
ATHLETE OF THE YEAR
Susan Mann has been named “Hilltop
Female Athlete of the Year” for her out
standing contributions to the Mars Hill
Women’s Sports Program. Miss Mann
received a handsome plaque courtesy of
The Hilltop and our congratulations on
her fine accomplishments as an athlete
in Mars Hill.
CORRECTION
In the last editorial of The Hilltop in
the April 28 edition, we incorrectly quot
ed a former edition of the paper as
stating “there is not hope for a better
and happier world in the near future.”
That paper actually read there is now
hope for a better and happier world in
the near future.” We regret any incon
venience this error may have caused.
“Hope and Dignity: Older Black
Women of North Carolina,” an exhibit
of photographs by Susan Mullally cele
brating the lives and achievements of
Black women 70 years of age who have
been active in their homes and com
munities across North Carolina is having
its Western North Carolina premiere at
Mars Hill College through May 15.
The 30 black and white photographs
provide an insight into the lives of these
women, whose services have ranged
from the laundry room to the corridors
of power in the state’s financial centers.
The stereotypes that portrayed the
Southern black woman for years are
stripped away to show the strength of
these women in their homes and com
munities.

In an interview in Hilltop issue two,
ousted football coach Gibson called the
process by which he was to make his ap
peal a “whitewash.” He said he didn’t
expect to win his appeal, and he felt
President Bentley’s credibility had been
damaged. Gibson estimated that 50
football players would transfer after the
Fall Semester. Gibson didn’t rule out the
possibility of ever returning to Mars
Hill, if Dr. Bentley were not here.
“Mars Hill may not be big enough for
the both of us,” said Gibson jokingly.
When the appeals board adjourned Oc
tober 23, a press statement was released
at noon stating that the board had up
held Dr. Bentley’s decision and that Gib
son’s firing had been justified. In other
news, the “Good Night Jay” show was
becoming a popular item on WVMH as
callers gave imitations of Kermit the
Frog, Fozzie Bear and even mother
nature, and the calls were broadcast over
the air. The show drew up to 50 callers
