Mars Hill College
To Offer Fall
$
Elderhostel Classes
Mare Hill Collge, one of the first
schools in Western North Carolina to
sponsor an Elderhostel program, will
offer a special three session Fall
Elderhostel at the school in
September and October.
Elderhostel is a program for older
citizens based on the youth hostels of
Europe, which provide inexpensive
lodging for young tourers and educa
tional experience offered on college
campuses. Participants in
Elderhostel live in college residence
halls, take their meals in the college
cafeteria, and participate in a class
taught by college faculty.
The program began several years
ago as a regional program and has
spread to international proportions.
Mars Hill has sponsored an
Elderhostel program for eight sum
mers and began an experimental fall
program last year.
That program met with such suc
cess that the school will be offering
three sessions on campus in
September and October. The first ses
sion will be Sept. 29-Oct. 5, and will
feature three classes in Appalachian
subjects: "Autumn Comes to Ap
palachia" will be led by botanist Don
McLeod and will examine the bio
geography of the region, enhancing
the fall color spectacle of the moun
tains; "Family, Kinship, and Politics
in Southern Appalachia" will focus on
the ways family and kindship pat
terns have shaped and influenced the
political, religious, and educational
developments in mountain com
munities and will be taught by Dr.
Don Anderson, chairman of the Divi
sion of Social and Behavioral
Sciences; "Fotched-On Women" will
be the third class and will explore the
turn-of-the-century reform move
ment in the Southern Mountains with
an emphasis on the personalities of
the women missionaries who launch
ed a host of educational, handicraft,
and religious activities. The instruc
tor will be Polly Cheek, and adjunct
faculty member and local historian.
The second session will be October
ft-12. The three classes included dur
ing this week center around subjects
that are uniquely American. These
classes include the following: "Walt
Whitman and William Carlos
Williams:., lo Search o?an American
Idiom," will be taught by Dr. Pat
Verhulst and will focus on the efforts
of these two poets to cast aside the
impediments of English literary
tradition andd their pursuit of a
distinctive American idiom and
style; "America In Our Times." will
be taught by Dr. James Lenburg and
will examine social issues and
political trends which divided our
country during the cold war, the civil
rights years, and the decade of the so
called "me generation;" "American
Values in Film." will be taught by Dr.
George Peery and will review
popular movies as both mirrors of
American cluture as well as harb
ingers of change.
The final session will be held Oct.
13-19, and will feature three unique
classes. The first will be "The Cold
War and Comtemporary Soviet Socie-.
ty," taught by Dr. David Knisley.
This class will explore the recent re
emergence of cold ware sabre
rattling between the US and the
Soviet Union as part of a broader
review of the Utopian dreams and
historical realitites that have shaped
comtemporary Russian society.
"Mind over Math" will be the se
cond class. Taught by Susan Kiser,
this examination of mathematical
paradoxes is surprisingly entertain
ing and fascinating. Explanations of
problems are sure to provoke discus
sion because they often fly in the face
of common sense and intuition.
The final class is "Scott and Zelda
Fitzgerald: The Asheville Years."
Taught by Dr. Pat Verhulst, this class
is a comprehensive examination of
Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby,"
"The Last Tycoon," and "The Break
Up," with his wife Zelda 's "Save Me
the Waltz," as well as examination of
their use of Asheville as a refuge and
retreat.
Cost for any of the three sessions is
$195 and includes meals in the college
cafeteria, a room in one of the col
lege's residence halls, tuition, and all
field trips. >

"Odell is the third
Personal Banker I've had,
and I've had good service
from all of them."
"I've banked with Wachovia V
for 14 years. It's not like at
some banks where you go in j
and feel like you're on the edge
of your seat. I don't go through
the same routine of 'what's
your name, where do you
work, who's your mother' every
time I need something done.
"With my Personal Banker,
I can get down to the nitty
gritty. If I want to buy a car,
hell say, 'Here's what it's going
to take,' versus 'Fill out this
form, and fill out this form.'
"My Personal Banker
knows me as an individual . . .
knows what I've done in the
past and what I'm planning to
do in the future.
"The mere fact that I have
someone I can talk to indi
vidually makes the difference
to me." j
