Four New Courses To Be
Added To Religion Curriculum
CHARLES STEIN, 18 year old classical
Guitarist, will be appearing in Dunham Auditorily
tonight at 8:15 p. ra. The program is part of the
Mutual Concert Association’s Lyceum program.
Beginning with the 1971-1972
academic year four new cours
es will be added to the religion
department curriculum offer
ings Also, the graduation re
quirements are being changed
so that students will have a
choice of courses in meeting
the six - hour requirement. A
student may take any six hours
he chooses from the religion
and philosophy offerings, ex
cept that at least three hours
must come from Religion 11,
12, or 15. (the Biolical area).
Religion 11 and 12, a survey
of the Old and New Testament^
are still the basic courses of the
department, and, of course, to
gether they meet the gradua
tion requirement. A student can
receive the best background in
the Judaeo - Christian heritage
by taking these two courses in
sequence. However, under the
new requirements a student
may choose to take only one of
these two courses and another
course from the advanced level.
It is recommended that students
taking only one of these two
basic biblical courses strongly
consider taking Religion 12.
Religion 15, Introduction to
Biblical Literature, is designed
for the student who definitely
wants to take only one se
mester of biblical studies along
with another course from the
department to meet his gradua
tion requirements. Religion 15
will not be just a synopsis of
Religion 11 and 12 but will ap
proach the Bible in a slightly
different manner, highlighting
important issues from both the
old and new Testaments. Stud
ents who take Religion 15 are
not eligible later to take Re
ligion 11 or 12 for credit.
The other three new courses
in the department. Religion 23,
World Religions; Religion 24,
Introduction to Christian Eth
ics (sophomores);, and Philoso
phy 21, Introduction to Philo
sophy (sophomores), will be
open only to sophomores. Re
ligion 23 will deal with the pri
mary non-westem religions of
the world with some compara
tive study of these religions
with Judaism and Christianity.
Mr. Lawing will have primary
responsibility for this course.
Religion 24 will deal with
human values, behavior^ and
decision . making. Issues in
personal decision - making, such
as sexual morality and popula
tion problems, medical ethics,
and business policy, will be ex
amined in the light of Christian
theology. Mr. Hardin will have
primary responsibility for thi«
course.
Philosophy 21 will be an in
troduction to the basic issues
of philosophy. Mr. Miles, who
will be teaching this course,
will be on sabbatical leave in
1971 - 1972 so that the course
will not be offered until 1972-
78. I
Religion 15 will be offered
both semesters next year and
Religion 23 and Religion 24 in
the spring semester. Students
graduating in 1972 may choose
to fulfill their religion require
ment under this new program.
Of course, students who have
already taken or who desire to
take Religion 11 and 12 may
choose any of the new sopho
more level courses as elecctives.
The purpose of this new pro
gram is to allow the students
some choice in the selection of
their courses in line with their
own needs and interests.
Mutual Concert Group Presents Production History
Classical Guitarist On Friday Planned For
A promising young classical
guitarist, Charles Stein, will ap
pear on stage at the Dunham
Music Center on Friday, March
26 at 8:15 p.m. He is being pre
sented by the Mutual Concert
Association in a Lyceum pro
gram, and should prove to be a
very interesting evening of en
tertainment.
Young Mr. Stein, age 18, is a
promising young classical gui
tarist, whose recognition as a;n
artist is most unusual at his
age. He has been a serious
guitar student for nine years,
having begun his study with A1
Morgan at Cadek Conservatory.
For two years he studied with
Basil Gural of Louisville, Ken
tucky.
, A staunch admirer of world-
famous Segovia, he has studio
Segovia’s approach and tech
nique for the past two years
with Segovia’s oldest living
pupil, Jesus Silva, at the North
Carolina School of the Arts in
Winsiton - Salem. The young
artist has also won scholarships
to Siena, Italy, and Washington
University to attend master
classes.
Winner of the Elizabeth
Windsor Scholze Scholarsh^,
and former student at the
Cadek Conservatory, Mr. St«n
is now studying at the North
Carolina School of the Arts in
Winston-Salem.
Of his burgeoning t^ent, it
has been said tl^at it is “most
unusual to hear such a young
musician so far advanced in the
technique of classical guitar”.
Asked about flamenco guitar,
Charles strongly emphasized his
preference for classical guitar.
Classical guitar is played with
the left foot propped on a small
footstool in authentic style. The
instrument is not amplified and
is plucked with the thumb and
three fingers on the right hand
and four fingers on the left.
The rest is up to the musician
to find the appropriate tech
nique to produce the desired
tone. In Mr. vStein’s case, it is
Segovia’s technique, and then
work on interpretation and
nuance.
The Fine Arts Division of
Brevard College is currently
working in prepgration for
three performances on April
15, 16, and 17, of Lerner and
Loewe’s musical fantasy CAME-
LOT. The musical concerns
King Arthur and the knights of
the round table and is set in
medieval England.
The show first appeared on
Broadway in 1960 and starred
Richard Burton as King Ar
thur, Julie Andrews as Guene-
vere, and Robert Goulet as
Lancelot.
Starring in the Breyard pro
duction will be Harvey Miller
