■Page Two, THE HILLTOP, Friday, Octol Editorial The Hilltop, in this issue would like to focus its editorial on the Student Gov ernment Association. The present administration took over after a virtually ineffective year, during which little, if anything was done. The officers this year have put last year behind them and turned SGA around. They have actively sought to give the Student Government a new im age and to live up to their claim of being a “channel for change.” After my experience with SGA last year, it is encouraging to actually find SGA officers in the SGA Offices, and even during posted office hours. Even more exciting is seeing the Senate run ef ficiently and meetings being attended by Senators. The most unbelievable of all things, however, is the fact that the place for the spring formal has already been chosen, over six months in advance, unlike last year’s one Week, at best. Along with already having chosen a place, active preparation is already going on, and fund-raising taking place. At this rate this year’s formal should be someyiing to really loook forward to. SGA has great potential for good here at Mars Hill, and it’s great to see that potential being used. In closing, keep up the good work, and don’t let up - there is so much more that can be done.

BEACH TO TCNE IT DQWM’// I’ts ^ampbel meetir •'end Si.a CaHistoric Dear Editor, 1 was surprised by the generosity and unselfishness of a few of the talented students at Mars Hill college recently. I became aware of these wonderful people when I went to see Sophie’s Choice shown here on campus. I feel that one dollar is a very good price for a movie, but was unaware of the added entertain ment that would be included. To the best of my knowledge so was the films com mittee. During the film I was entertained by a Mick Jagger impersonator, sitting only a few rows behind me, who sang Satisfac tion. Sorry, but I don’t think that we can be looking forward to a new member of the Rolling Stones, he didn’t know all the words. Another student was kind enough to roll a soft drink can my way, unfor tunately, the can was empty so I had very little use for it. It did, however, cover up the dialogue in the film rather well. Many were so excited by physical scenes in the film that they had difficulty in supressing themselves. Even a kiss on the screen would bring forth moans of ecstasy from these highly sensitive peo ple. It really made me wonder about their personal lives. unanimc Professor All credit can’t go to student* h^^|“0liege^ preside: One faculty member thought ty dedicated would be a perfect opportunity^jjef^ ^ ||tly qj- up on the latest gossip.
