Tage ‘Three, ‘The TlTetheia FEATURES Around Campus By Naj Alicea Staff Writer Sara S winson is one of the most interesting and entertaining people on campus. She was bom in Den ver, Colorado, but soon after that her family moved to Mexico, so Spanish was her first language. They didn’t stay there for ~ very long though, Sara spent most of her childhood moving around-her family has lived everywhere from Virginia to Beirut. Finally, they settled in Los Ange les where they live today. Sara’s brother and sister were stu dents here at Mon treat in 1978, so she first saw the campus when she was eleven years old. She never really thought she would ever be a student here. But after high school and studying acting and working for'a real-estate development office, Sara’s dad encouraged her to go back to school. She thought about it for a year. M-AC personality, Sara Swinsun then realized that if she did decide to continue her studies, the only thing she wanted to study was the Bible. So her brother and sister suggested Montreat, because they had loved it here and because it offered her ma- ' jor. So she packed her bags and trav elled cross-country to the beautiful mountains of West ern North Carolina. Sara says that Montreat has been a blessing in her life. She believes that God put her here for a reason, and she’s learned so much in the years spent here. Sara believes that the friendships she has made at Mon treat, have been some of God’s larg est blessings. When she graduates from Montreat-Anderson, S ara would like to do graduate studies in Biblical History or something in that area. Wherever God leads her, she says, she will go. ‘Ihe Sifetfieia •iTie.'lfetfutaui an indc|)cm]ciit stiideni-viirtttcti and student m.>ii.ii;cdnenspaper for the Montreal i.am[iu» ol .^1u^treal-.^nde^»on College.

P.O Box 1267 Momreat, NC 28757 f701i «»‘)-8t)l 1 Musical Review By Scott Ward OK, I know what you’re thinking. How can there be a Christian position on a band such as Metallica other than that of “Sinful! Sinful!” Well, believe it or not, there is. Metallica is the band’s fifth major release, and their first into a new area. Gone are the heavy, trademark speed metal riffs. Thistimethe writingteam of Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield have introduced a new brand of metal with a grove. Musically, this album is proba bly one of the most complex albums on the market. One of the most musically catching Who's Who in Montreal For a Poet's Discretion By Keith Robinson Since 1934, the nominating committee of the annual Who’s Who Among Students in American Uni versities and Colleges have been selecting students for tlieir publica tion, based on academic achieve ment community service, leader ship in extracurricular activities, and potential for continued success. The 1992 edition of this publication includes seven Montreat-Anderson students. These arc LeAnn Eliza beth Beach, Leslie Carol Blow, Andrew Reid Cavnar, Darrell Ray Eudy, Algernon Leonard Goodman, Thys Musengwa, and Kimberly Ann White. Attention Poets Owings Mills, Mary land (USA)—$12,000 in prizes will be awarded this year to over 250 poets in the North American Open Poetry Contest sponsored by the National Library of Poetry. The deadline for the contest is December 31, 1991. The contest is open to every one and entry is FREE. Any poet, whether previously published or not, can be a winner Every poem entered also has a chance to be published in a deluxe, hardbound an thology. To enter, send ONE original poem, any sub ject and any style, to the National Library of Po etry, 11419 Cronridge Dr., P.O. Box 704-PN, Owings Mills, MD 21117. The poem should be no more than 20 lines, and the poet’s name and address should appear on the top of the page. Entries must be postmarked by Decem ber 31, 1991. A new con test opens January 1, 1992. tunes is “Nothing Else Mat ters” which introduces Metal lica fans to a F*ink Floyd type guitar piece. Lyrically, I must say this album is far from the most de pressing album I’ve ever heard. Instead, the album is actually fairly uplifting when compared to some of the more violent popular music today. Of all of the songs on the album, “The God That Failed” is the only one that I would consider lyri cally questionable, with its “Down with televangelists” approach. However, on the other si de, there’s “Don’t Tread on Me” with its rather blatant message to Mr. Hussein: “So be it/ Threaten no more/ To secure the peace is to prepare for war/...Touch me again for the words that you’ll hear ever more/ Don’t Tread on me!” Musically, Metallica is a new step in the right direction. Lyrically, I’d rather listen to these guys’ halfway upbeat message than that of the sexu ally - explicit messages found in popular music today.
