The governor fielded stions for two hours in a full ise of students and local dents. he governor opened the eting by congratulating dison County residents for their peration in the manhunt for I fugitives involved in the rder of State Trooper Bobby ggins. Martin set the tone for the meeting by saying he wanted everyone to state their opinions and beliefs on any topic and that the meeting was not a speech where he was going to do all the talking. The audience raised questions ranging from education to agriculture and taxes. Answering a question posed by Sue Miller, the governor retained his stance of opposing a state lot tery. He said, “a lottery glorifies gambling and exploits people,” Martin also expressed his commit ment to abolish the manufacturer’s inventory tax and obtain a guber- need j >u war MHC’s Fall Performance EN ROBERTSON Iff cartoonist/writer in?

Robert Jones, director of Y.C.T.I.W.Y.. (. Robert has had the best of worlds: as a director and a writer. This past year, two of his originial plays were produced: The Music of Jerome Kern was presented by SART this summer, and Chiaroscuro was produced in Memphis, Tennessee after winning a national play search out of 309 entries. Y.C.T.I.W.Y, conveys the idea of Grandpa, a major character in the play, that there’s no sense in spending your life doing something that you don’t enjoy doing. People should, above all things, be happy with who they are and what they are doing in life. Money and material possissions are not as im portant because, “You can’t take it with you!’’ But the play isn’t about social and financial problems. It’s a love story about a girl caught between two worlds and her love for the people on both sides. The show is uplifting, with a type of innocence that makes it special for everyone. 1985 Homecoming Court: Freshmen - Jennifer Collins and Rod Hemphill; Sophomores - Lynn Chiles and Chris Cantrell; Juniors - Michelle Fender and Chris Graham; Seniors - Susan Odom and Jim Darby. natorial veto which North Carolina is the only state that does not have one. Dr. Harley Jolley of Mars Hill College expressed concern for career opportunities of college graduates and especially MHC graduates. The governor respond ed by saying that he is trying to at tract more industries to North Carolina ranging from data pro cessing to food processing. Mars Hill was the last stop for Martin on his three day tour of Western North Carolina. This visit was the governor’s first since he took office in January. KINGSTON TRIO TO PERFORM AT MARS HILL COLLEGE The Kingston Trio, one of the few groups from the late 1950’s who survived the music explosion of the 60’s and 70’s, will bring their crisp, clean simple style to Mars Hill College as the Homecoming headliner October 12. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. in Moore Auditorium. The group began in 1957, when three clean-cut Menlo College students got together and started singing in coffee shops around San Francisco. Their messages were clear, the melodies were memorable, and these ingredients sparked a completely new style of music. The Kingston Trio soon graduated from local favorites to a recording contract with Capitol Records and then to a national phenomenon. Their first recording with Capitol was ‘‘Scarlet Ribbons, “ and was followed by “Tom Dooley, ” which has so far sold over six million copies. They soon became known as the country’s paramount folk singers, leading the way in a music boom that produced such artists as Peter, Paul and Mary, The Limeligljters, The Brothers Four, The Smothers Brothers, and Bob Dylan. In 1959, the group was awarded a Grammy as best “Country Music Group,” there being no folk category. By 1961, the group had recorded four more gold records. It was ap parent however, that the rock revolution had made the music marketplace temporarily hostile to the Trio’s simplicity. After a layoff, the group resumed recor ding with “Aspen Gold, ” an early digitally recorded album featuring a mix of old and new songs. Since then they have recorded two more albums under the Xeres Record label. Their trademark three-part har mony keeps them touring 35 weeks out of the year and with new sym phony scores for their music, the Trio plays approximately 20 major symphony concerts a year. The group now consists of Bob Shane, Hawaii-born original member of the group, George Grove, a native of Hickory, and Bob Haworth, a Spokane, Washington native who replaced Roger Gambill who passed away suddenly in March, 1985. The Trio’s performance at Mars Hill is part of the Visiting Artists and Lecturers Series and is open to the public as well as being the col lege’s Homecoming Concert. The cast of characters in Y. C. T.I. W, Y. includes Hillary Parsons, Andrea Williams, Stephanie Banner, Mike Conley, Robert Whittemore, Edward H. Hix, Jeffery Littlejohn, Richard Croom, Beverly Toddm Owen Robertson, David Baldree, Jeff Fitzgerald, Pam Magathlen, Ray Luther, Carrol Sue Barron, Cal Conniff, Bo Honeycutt, and Sherry Hoover. Theatre is a dif ferent type of entertainment for both performers and audience. “Life is richer and has more im mediacy because of the live perfor ming.” “C. Robert Jones. Theatre has a type of authenticity that you can’t fing anywhere else.” So come and experience the play that has had people laughing for 49 years! Performances are October 11, 1985 at 8 PM and Sunday matinee October 13 at 2:30 PM. For reservations call the Theatre Box Office at 689-1239.
