By MERRY BURGESS Contributing Editorialist inning of Welcome, welcome, welcome! I am so glad you are here at Mars Hill College! I think this is a wonderful, place to be and hope fully you think so too. Nine months of education face us. These months will undoubtedly bring knowledge, excitement, joy, sorrow, troubles, and pleasure. The only thing for sure is that it will go fast (honestly, it will!). What will you do with the year? Whether you are an old-timer or a young’un at MHC, new oppor tunities abound for you. New peo ple to meet, new friendships and romances to share, new ex periences to try—the possibilities are endless. It is up to you, however, to experience them. No one else can do it for you. You’ve got to reach out, take life in both hands and make it what you want it to be. Granted, this is not as'easy as it sounds, but without an at- tempt, there will be no success. Remember the cartoons that show a person struggling with a decision? On one shoulder is an angel and on the other is a devil, both of them arguing their cases. I would like to name those two little critters who sit on students’ shoulders Perseverance and Pro crastination. Joe Student: “Hmmm, should I stay in tonight and work on my project, or should I go into Asheville with my friends?” Perseverance: “Well, you really do need to get started on that project, after all, there is a lot to research, and it is due next week.” Procrastination: “Next week! Heck, that’s seven days away! Go play, have fun! There’s plenty of time to get it done.” Perseverance: “Not so, you nasty little devil, remember all the com mitments he has already made for the rest of the week? You’ll have him pulling an all-nighter the night before it is due and then it will be By CHRIS HARRISON and SCOTT BARRON SGA President SGA Vice-President As we walked into our S.G.A. offices, we both wondered if anyone on campus really knows where the S.G.A. offices are or even if they exist. Well, they do ex ist! The Student Government Association’s offices are located on the third floor of the Wren Col lege Union (on the oposite end from the Student Development Of fices), and the purpose of these of fices is you. S.G.A. is going to play a very active part in the college communi ty this year. No longer are we to be taken as just another college organization! Some of the plans for this year include hosting the first annual “Dating Game”, which will most likely have its debute later this month.

Its purpose is to allow with something that is campus related, then please let us know by dropping a note into P.O. Box 1-C or come by anF visit our offices. Office hours will be posted on the exterior door so that you may know when we will be available. We look forward to a growing and learning experience as we all try to make Mars Hill a better place to be. of pretty poor quality.” Procrastination: “Don’t listen to that silly angel, Joe Student. He’s so straight and clean, he squeaks when he flies. I mean, which would be more fun—sitting in your room working on some dumb project, or dancing the night away at Yester days? You can always find some other time to do your project. Come on, let’s go!” Perseverance: “There will be other times you can go dancing; you really don’t want to put this pro ject off any longer...(as he gets brushed off Joe’s shoulder).. .Sigh, this time next week, he will be promising high heaven that he will never put off a project again.” I am sure most of you have held this conversation innumerable times in your head. It is time right now to get off to a good start, and to stick with it. Maybe you need to make a New (School) Year’s Re solution: I will not procrastinate.

The HILLTOP’S editorial opinions are the respon sibility of and reflect the views of' the executive editor. ', Recently I received a copy of a speech delivered by George Weissman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Philip Morris Incorporated. On the cover was a Cabarrus Quilt design. Cabarrus Quilts are sewn by approximately 70 members of Maco Crafts, a Franklin, North Carolina com munity group. The cover intrigued me and I wondered what a speech by the chief executive officer of a financially powerful, multina tional corporation has in common with the simple and humble craft of quilting. A quick reading of the speech provided the answer. Mr. Weisman was making a general case for business support of the arts as a spur to a healthy economy. Business philanthropy has been supporting the arts for many years without any prodding from governmental groups. The Con ference Board surveys of 401 com panies in 1968 and 759 companies in 1978 give some indication of the magnitude of direct contributions to the arts. In 1968, 13.2 million dollars were given, and an amount more than four times larger, $70.0 million, was reported for 1978. Total annual corporate giving to the arts is estimated to be at least twice the amounts in The Con ference Board surveys. Some business representatives like to point out that government support of the arts is about equivalent to business support. Why does business give to the arts? It is apparent that many business executives think giving to the arts is somehow linked to the long run interest of their business firms. More specific reasons often mentioned are: to practice good corporate citizenship, to enhance the quality of the environment in which to live, work, and do business, and, of course, to realize good public relations value. I ap preciate ihe candor of Paul Elicker, fc’ ner president of SCM Corporation. When he was asked why his firm made contributions to a specific art exhibit, he respond ed, “We do it because it’s good for the arts, it’s good for the millions of people who get pleasure viewing great works of art, and—not—least—it’s good for SCM Corporation.” Is there evidence that business support of the arts is good for the economy? According to one source, attendance data show that throughout the United States more people attend art galleries, museums, ballet, theater, opera, and symphony concerts in a year than go to all the maj wonde The erbs ship. 1 with J aul, tl i worr us to sional sports combini and relatii death e reas e wit reasonable to argue thal of interest and particip; have a favorable impac economic activities as tion, real estate, tran^pon and tourism.
