®[PD[N]D(o)[M Page Two, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, EDITORIAL To Our Readers; In past years THE HILLTOP has undergone several changes. Just as editors in the past tried to improve the quality of the paper, we, as your new editors also in tend to do our best to improve THE HILLTOP. The first thing that will be noticed is the change to a smaller size paper. (14‘/2 x 11 from 22 x 141/2) this enables the reader to handle the paper more easily. This is also an economic help for us to be able to give our readers papers of first rate quality. There will also be a change in the material presented. Such regularly running col umns as “Tom’s Corner’’ and “Focus on Faculty’’ will be added in addition to previous columns. Also new this year, THE HILLTOP will give information about organizational events and activities. Plans are being made for a community section which will offer Mars Hill students and Faculty with news of community events. Another prospect that is being looked into is possibly to get area writers to write articles of interest to Mars Hill College students. Look for these changes and others in upcoming editions. We are looking forward to a suc cessful year and hope we can be a contributing factor to your stay at Mars Hill College. Your Editors, John Anderson and Katherine Mann THE HILLTOP wishes to be the voice of the Mars Hill College Community. Your comments and opinions will be willingly ac cepted. Editorials will be printed at the discretion of the editors. Please let your opinons be known. Names will be held at the rlkrretion of the editors. New to Mars Hill College this fall is Mars Hill’s old, confusing? Not really when the fact is ex plained that Mars Hill alumni are now taking an active role in the recruitment of new students. The idea is a joint effort of the alumni Office focuses on the identifica tion and recruitment of potential students by MHC graduates. On September 8, 1986, a workshop will take place that clarifies the concept behind the program and tell of its advan tages. The workshop will include an overview of campus activities, and its academic structure, ques tion and answer periods, and a tour of the campus will also be in- cluded. In addition, the workshop will examine the role of the MHC graduate as an active recruiter and will explain how alumni might better fill this capacity. Finding new students for Mars Hill is now a job that depends more heavily on graduates than ever before. The graduate is a product of Mars Hill and is hence the best advertisement the college can have. Utilizing this resource can be very valuable to the future of Mars Hill College. Taking ad vantage of it now ensures Mars Hill’s tommorrow.

I am glad you are here at Mars Hill College! I think this is a wonderful place to be and hopefully you think so too! Nine months of education face us. These months will undoubted ly 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 op portunities abound. New people 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 go to reach out, take life in both hands and make it what you want it to be.
