The MHC concert will be part of their Fiftieth Anniversary Edition Tour. The two-hour performance is filled with music, song, dance and brilliant costumes. Every aspect of the pro gram is designed to be as authentic as the extensive reaserch which as been done to support it can achieve. The audience can become caught up in the village dances of the peasant folk, as well as the high leaps and acrobatics of the mountain people. The group is comprised of 40 full time college students, who receive, in exchange for performing, full scholarships to Duquesne. Fmmded in 1937, the Tamburitzans have travell ed throughout the continental United States and Canada, and have also performed in such places as Yugo slavia, Romania, Italy, Latin America, Greece. France and the Soviet Union. Some of the costiunes which are worn by the performers are original native dress as worn by one of the people whose culture is being presented; others are nearly perfect replicas of these costumes. The tam- buritza is accompanied by such in struments as the accordion, clarinet, violin, primitive goat-skin drum and flute. This anniversary concert of the Tamburitzans is boimd to be some thing unlike anything which has been presented at MHC this semester. Tickets for non-students are available in advance from the Music Office, for $5, and $7 at the door. The show will be sponsored by the MHC Culturefest Committee, and coimts toward CLP credits for freshmen in attendance. Hungarian dances of Kalocs are being done by Beth Zdinak.

On Monday, February 29 at 7:30 p.m., in Moore Auditorium, Dr. Lon nie Kliever from the Department of Religious Studies, at Southern Methodist University, speaks on the topic—“Religion, Values and the Sports World.” On Tuesday, March 1 at 10:00 a.m., in Moore Auditorium, Dr. Max Stackhouse from Andover-Newton Theological School, speaks on the topic—“Religion, Rights and the Con stitutional Order.” Dr. Kliever served as SMU’s facul ty representative to the NCAA in vestigation that eventually sanctioned the university’s football program. He teaches courses in religion and culture, as well as contemporary religious thought. Dr. Stackhouse is a lecturer and ethicist who has served at several col lege and universities in the U.S., Canada, as well as in India and Southeast Asia. He has been actively involved in issues related to the Third World: questions such as the church’s role as well as economic development there. Kliever and Stackhouse have en joyed wide publication of their popular articles and academic works. Last year each published a book: “The Terrible Meek: Revolution and Religion in Cross-Cultural Perspec tive,” by Kliever: “Public Theology and Political Economy,” by Stackhouse. Along with their lectures at Mars Hill, a concluding “wrap-up” session is scheduled on Tuesday, March 1 at 1 p.m., in Belk Auditorium. Dr. Kliever and Dr. Stackhouse will also attend selected classes and meet with interested students and faculty on both Monday and Tuesday. This symposium is the second in the “knowledge in Transition” series that began last year with a look at break throughs in science. The focus this year is to look at the demands and relationships that religion make on two aspects of con temporary social and political life: the world of sports, and the world of constitutionally defined rights. Sports for most Americans occupy an increasing amount of time, energy, and attention. We identify with sports “heroes.” Sports figures serve as role models. Sports issues of money, cor ruption, drug abuse raise major ethical questions. In this presidential election year wherein we celebrate the 200th an niversary of the U.S. Constitution, questions about the ways our moral and religious beliefs shape our sense of our politics have become para- moimt. Far much more is at stake than questions about whether an ex televangelist should be a candidate. Mars Hill College students receive Community Life credit for attendance at each of the lectures. The pubic is invited to all events, and there is no admission charge. For additional information on the sym posium, call the Office of the Vice- President for Academic Affairs at 704/689-1111. The symposium is made possible by an endowment created from funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and gifts from alumni and friends of the College.

When not busy with other responsibilities, they sit around one of the tables resting their feet. When 3:00 a.m. comes around, the tablecloths are placed back on the tables and more eggs put on to fry—breakfast is serv ed twenty-four hours a day. Another benefit of working in the Hot Shot Cafe is the people the waitresses meet. Well-to^o middle- aged couples, elderly men, third-shift workers.and college students are some of the many types who frequent the restaurant.

The cafe even has the distinction of having fed Grace Kelly, Merle Had- dard, and Hank Williams, Jr. More and more Mars Hill students are finding their way to the Hot Shot Cafe. They seem to be attracted by the atmosphere. Jonathan Lupfer described it as “the Mel’s diner of Asheville.” He has been to the Hot Shot on several occasions. “I like the carefree, laid-back at mosphere,” said Doima Parrott. “And I also enjoy the company of the peo ple.” Recently Leigh Allen made her first trip to the Hot Shot Cafe. “It’s like something from a 50’s movie,” she said. “You don’t see that anymore.” But it can be foimd, at Asheville’s Hot Shot Cafe. Give it a shot! "MHC Theatre Set to Open With "The Plough and the Stars" MARS HILL - “The Plough and the Stars,” Sean O’Casey’s famous treatise on hiunanity versus nationali ty, will be produced at Mars Hill Col lege February 26- March 1. The play centers on the plight of a poverty-stricken tenement in Dublin which is caught in the midst of the Easter Rebellion. It is the last of O’Casey’s realistic plays about the Irish Civil War and, to many critics, represents his highest achievement. The play is set in 1916, when ex tremists proclaimed an Irish Republic and seized the Dublin General Post Office. A short, bloody struggle en sued for several days and ravaged most of the city before the na tionalists surrendered. O’Casey selects a single tenement dwelling and inhabits it with characters who become a microcosm of the war in Dublin. The play, while a serious examina tion of the events, is not without humor and does end on a note of hope. First produced in the Abbey Theatre in 1926, it pulled that theatre out of its financial doldnuns and in spired a patriotic riot. The results also confirmed O’Casey’s resolve to move to a land where he could live and write on his own terms. Mars Hill’s production is directed by James W. Thomas, chairman of the division of fine arts at the college and familiar to many area theatre fans as the managing director of the Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre. Another SART veteran, John Oertling, who is now assistant pro fessor of theatre arts at the college, designed the set. The play will be produced February 26-March 1 in Owen Theatre at 8 p.m. each evening ex cept Sunday, February 28, which will feature a 2:30 p.m. matinee. Tickets are $4 for adults and $3 for students with I.D. and senior citizens. The Owen Theatre Box Office will open February 22 from 1 to 5 p.m. daily and reservations may be made by calling 689-1239. # -5 f / PlfeC David BaJdree, left, as Peter, spars with Ed Hix, right, as Fluther in a scene from Sean O'Casey’s “The Plough and the Stars” Greg Hungerford, right, as “The Covey” and Ed Hix, left, as “Fluther” rehears ing as scene from the play.
