®dd Mars Hill College
from staff reports
They’ve been called "incredi
ble," "breathtaking," "stunning,"
and "quite unbelievable," to quote
but a few of the critics. The Chi
nese Golden Dragon Acrobats and
Magicians of Taipei are taking the
country by storm everywhere they
perform as they criss-cross the
United States, Canada, and the
Caribbean Islands.
The Chinese Golden Dragon Ac
robats and Magicians of Taipei will
appear in Moore Auditorium on the
campus of Mars Hill College on
Tuesday, March 3, 1992, at 8:00
pm.
The Chinese Golden Dragon Ac
robats and Magicians of Taipei
offer more than a glimpse into the
fascinating Orient. They consist of
sensational acrobatics and the
magic of the East - in addition,
comedy, balancing feats, Kung-Fu!
and a troupe of sumptuously cos
tumed girls who perform beautiful
traditional dances. It is a show for
the whole family.
The grace and precision of the
acrobats are the triumph of years of
dedicated training and discipline,
but their art was formed by centu
ries of tradition. Chinese acrobat
ics are in fact more than a series of
stunts. Most of the acts were cre
ated and performed in China as far
back as 200 B.C. and have always
been an integral part of the Chinese
culture and the arts. Many of these
acts clearly demonstrate the
achievement of perfection through
finding harmony between mind and
body - an ancient concept in the
Orient. The show also features
Kung-fu demonstrations - extraor
dinary feats that seem to defy phys
ical laws, which the Chinese
attribute to the cultivation of "Chi,"
roughly translated as "inner
strength" or "life energy."
In the past 10 years tours have
taken the acrobats through all of
South America, Central America,
South East Asia, Israel, Germany,
England, Canada, the Caribbean,
and the United States. Members of
this company first appeared with
Liberace at the Las Vegas Hilton.
More recently, the company
shot the commercial for the John
Candy movie, "Uncle Buck." In ad
dition, they have appeared with
Joan Rivers and have played more
than 30 state and regional fairs for
extended runs and have been sea
sonal attractions at several Six
Flags amusement parks.
For the students of Mars Hill Col
lege, this performance is free. But
for others, tickets for the March 3rd
show are available in the Music Of
fice in Moore Auditorium on the

3 Always,check your phone bill to
make sure the company's clock
stopped running when you hung
up...i.e., if you made a 15 minute call,
and they charged you for 373 minutes,
there could be a problem.
4 Set a time limit for yourself
everytime you call long distance.
That way you’ll feel guilty for every
minute you go over, and nothing
works like a guilt trip.
5 Write a letter next time you
want to call someone in the middle
of the day. It may take longer to
get there, but it's a lot cheaper, and
it’ll last forever!
6 If you find yourself having
any problems with the service, call
the toll free number on your remit
tance form that comes with your
bill.
Also, just a reminder to those of
you who may have forgotten Re
member the 5% discount offered at
the beginning of the year from De
sign Systems Inc., from September

get 5% taken off your next phone
bill by adding up the amount of
your phone bills from September to

amount, and writing it anywhere on
the remittance form of next
month's bill
If there are any other problems
you’ve been having, give us a call
and we’ll do the best we can to help
you, but you're best bet would be
to let your fingers do the walking
and call Sue Harley of Design Sys
tems, Inc., at the toll free number.
