Alexander Williams and Joanna Denton re hearse a scene from the play "Whose Life Is It Anyway," now staging at Mars Hill College. 'Whose Life Is It Anyway' Opens Spring Theater Season The first production of the spring semester at Mars Hill College will be Brian Clark's powerful Broadway drama, "Whose Life Is It Anyway?" The play centers around Ken Har rison, a sculptor who becomes a quadriplegic following an automobile accident. Harrison, protrayed by Alexander Williams, a freshman from Georgetown, Ken., decides that his life is not worth living without be ing able to work. He attempts to discharge himself from the hospital, an action that will surely bring about his death. He is blocked from doing this by Dr. Michael Emerson, head of the hospital's Intensive Care Unit. Emer son, played by Mars Hill resident A deed Fakoury , is not able to accept any patient's choice to die. Harrison is supported in his decison by Dr. Clare Scott, protrayed by Joanna Denton, a junior from New Cumberland, Penn. The right-to-die choice has become a public issue numerous times since the parents of Karen Ann Quinlan received permission to disconnect her life support systems. The most re cent story has been that of Hector Hodas, a quadriplegic who was allow ed to starve himself to death. A dozen states now have right to die laws on the books and another 40 have adopted "living will" laws allowing the removal of life support systems from patients who request it. On Broadway, Tom Conti won a Tony for this performance as the sculptor Harrison. Mars Hill's production opened Wednesday in Owen Theatee and con tinues with 8 p.m. performances through Saturday. There will be a special 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday. Reservations may be made by call ing the Owen Theatre Box Office at 689-1239 from 1 to 5 p.m. daily. Peek Not Formally Charged A story that appeared in last week's News Record incorrectly reported that Chief Deputy Dal Peek of the Madison County Sheriff Department had been charged with following too close behind in a three-vehicle acci dent Feb. 14 in Johnson City. A records clerk with the Johnson City, Tenn., Police Department incor rectly read a line on the accident report. The investigating officer found that Peek was at fault for the accident, but for insurance purposes only, accor ding to a police department spokesman, "hie officer did not for mally charge him with a traffic of fense, according to the spokesman. Also, the police report makes no mention of alcohol being involved in the accident, contrary to some rumors going around the county.

Optimism is a joyous emotion. Yet, what a ridiculous phrase we coined for expressing it: f Tilings arc looking up Tilings can't look up. Only people can. Across much of the world today there is a resurgence of religious interest. Some think it a reaction to material ism. Folks arc discovering what one believes can lie more important than what one has. Others say it's the quest for values that endures in a changing world. Values to l>e cherished today ? and passed on to future generations. People arc looking up! Finding in Cod's Truth the blessed Hope that inspires life here, and promises life hereafter. Optimism never had a more joyous foundation.
