Group Attends Alcohol Seminar
By MIKE MCDOWELL
Assoc. Dean for Student
Affairs
On October 31, 1989
through November 1st,
several Montreat-Anderson
College students and staff
attended the first statewide
alcohol awareness
conference held at the Omni
Hotel in Durham, N.C.
Those attending were Dean
Mike McDowell, College
nurse Judy Keels, MA-HSi
Resident Director Dee
Dasburg and students Don
Skilton, Leslie Blow, A1
Goodman, Boo Berry, Tom
McMurtry, and Leann
Beach. The conference was
designed to help students,
staff and faculty from North
Carolina universities and
colleges come to a clearer
understanding as to the
extremely serious nature of
alcohol abuse on our
campuses. Time was also
spent in sessions where
conferees worked at coming
up with ways of combating
the problem and arriving at
some solutions.
Two effective speakers
were Mrs. Lonise Bias
(mother of the late Len Bias)
and Mr. Mike Ford of Wake
Forest University (son of
former first lady Betty Ford
and President Ford.)
Financial Aid Forms Needed A.S.A.P.
By Lisa Lankford
At this time Financial
Aid forms (FAF) have been
mailed to parents of all
continuing students. Those
forms need to be completed
as soon as possible. The
deadline for completion is
April 15, 1990. The sooner
these forms are completed
the less likely that year there
will also be an in-house
financial aid form this year
that each student requesting
aid will need to complete. I
hope by using this form that
scholarships can be directed
to specific needs more
efficiently. All students
with questions concerning
financial aid should feel free
to come by our office to
have them answered.

D.C. Talk to Perform
FROM PAGE ONE
Young Toby
McKeehan grew up in
Washington, D.C. He
became a Christian at age
12. Musically, he grew
up preferring the raw,
emotional sounds of
funky, black music, like
Rick James. Toby loved
the early rap of the Sugar
Hill Gang. When Run
DMC came out with
"Hard Times" in 1982,
rap hit big. It didn’t hit
the suburbs, but remained
the music of the street.
Toby was influenced by
many of his friends who
lived where rap
flourished. As a result,
Toby was well into rap by
the age of 15. He
developed a style and
delivery that earned him
the street name DC Talk.
Then Toby went to
Jacksonville University
and on to Liberty
University. He took his
rap and began writing,
with his first song, "Final
Days," about the book of
Revelation. Then came
"Heavenbound". Toby is
the Rap.
At Liberty, Toby met
Michael Tait.
Michael, too, was
raised in Washington, the
son of a pastor of an inner
city church. He is quite
the accomplished vocalist.
For five years he has been
the featured soloist on
Jerry Falwell's "Old Time
Gospel Hour" from
Thomas Road Baptist
Church.
Although he has
typified a very
conservative musical style
through performances at
Liberty, Michael Tait
draws his soulful,
emotional vocal style from
his fifteen years singing in
a black Pentecostal
church. Michael is the
Soul.
While at Liberty,
Toby and Michael met
Kevin Smith, and the
three became best friends.
Kevin came from
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
He grew up in, rock
music. It was his life. He
identified with the secular
rock culture, was involved
in bands, and became
influenced by the lifestyle
so closely identified with
teenage rebellion.
During his senior
year, Kevin made a
change. He recommitted
his life to Christ. Kevin
brings the Rock.
DC Talk is quite
unique in that it combines
the hard hitting rap of
Toby McKeehan delivered
with the fire of an
evangelist, with the
stylistic vocals of Michael
Tait and Kevin Smith. In
fact, they are on the
cutting edge of rap.
Some rap groups are
beginning to lift vocal cuts
from records and
incorporate them in their
rap. DC Talk goes further
and skillfully combines
the rap and vocals into an
exciting delivery.
DC Talk is Toby's
Rap, Michael's Soul, and
Kevin's Rock mixed into
a sound that is fresh,
entertaining, and
communicates the Gospel
with integrity. The
group's life ministry is to
exhort and challenge
young people everywhere
to dream dreams and
pursue visions with power
and might. They present
the reality of God's love
which brings happiness
the world cannot give.
DC Talk will share
this dynamic ministry with
you on January 16th at
7:30 in Gaither Chapel.
Don't miss this exciting
concert. Be prepared to
start this year in the
groove. There are no
excuses; the concert is free
to students, faculty, and
the faculty families.
