VIETNAMESE NEED MILK!
Recently, Dr. Robert Watson, who
has been in Vietnam, spoke to a
group of students at the Reverend
Calvin Thielman’s home.
Dr. Watson told them about the
milk shortage in Vietnam and the
poor conditions which this shortage
causes. The Vietnamese have never
had fresh milk. If they get milk,
the prices are too precious to af
ford. Even when they do get milk
it is of poor quality, too thick or
too thin. This does contribute to a
certain percentage of sickness. Dr.
Watson said, “The babies over there
are dying like flies. The Vietnamese
need milk. In fact, they need $30,-
000 for a dairy.”
The Fellowship Hall prayer group
has started raising money for this
purpose.
Mr. Thomas McKee, an artist from
Asheville, has left five of his paint
ings in Fellowship Hall lobby. He
wants to sell his paintings to help
raise money for the dairy. The
students are invited to go by and
see them, and if they want to help
with the project, buy one.
The Fellowship Hall prayer
groups are asking all college cam
puses in the area to have an art
auction is being done at Montreat.
WARNER, PORTER &
WARNER
All contemporary folk - style
groups do not have to sound alike,
nor do they have to be made up of
amateurs of college tintypes. For
out of the Southeast’s rich traditions
and modern popular sound, a new
group of young people, with highly
trained voices, original material, nov
el arrangements, superb pacing, and
instrumental expertise, are creating
a rich and heady mixture.
Tom Porter does most of the
song writing. He is a Georgia boy
who has done much work around
Charleston, S. C. Tom plays twelve
string and doubles on harmonica.
Byron Warner, like Tom, is from a
Georgia family and is the musical
arranger and director for WPW.
Florence Warner is Byron’s sister,
and youngest member of WPW. She
has a fine, clear, and operatically
toned voice; she has a voice that
blends beautifully into the trio.

"RUN LIKE HELL!"
On July 19, 1967, a Boeing 727
being leased by Piedmont and a Cess
na 310 collided in the airways near
the Hendersonville Airport. Both
planes plunged to the ground; a
total of 82 people were killed. 79
passengers and crew of Piedmont
Airlines’ Flight 22 and 3 people
aboard the Cessna. The crash oc
curred on the grounds of Camp Pine-
wood, near the riding ring where
Joe Pothier, a Montreat student, was
riding instructor.
It was the end of the riding per
iod and the pupils were gathered
in the riding ring. Then the sound
of a jet was heard. Upon looking
up, Joe saw, “a small twin-engine
plane collide amidships with the Boe
ing 727. At first there was the
sound of grinding metal, and there
was an explosion and you could hear
the engines of the small plane ex
plode.”
After ordering the riding students
to “run like hell for the woods,” and
releasing the horses, Joe followed.
When asked what was the worst
part of the crash, Joe replied, “Of
all the terrifying sights to be seen
that day, one of the most atrocious
was when spectators lifted their chil
dren to their shoulders in order to
see the dozens of mangled bodies
draped from trees, between the rid
ing ring and the crash scene.”
As an epilogue to the tragedy,
a tape of the conversation in the
cockpit of the Boeing 727 was played
on October 10, 1967. The last sounds
in the cockpit were heard from the
pilot and co-pilot. They were:
“Flight 22” ... a scream ... and
then, the rushing of air.
FRESHMEN ELECT OFFICERS
The Freshman Class of Montreat-
Anderson College will elect officers
for the coming year sometime after
the 9 weeks grading period is over.
These officers will be valuable to
the Freshmen because for the first
time they will have representation
in student government.
The members of the Freshman
class will elect a President, Vice-
President, Secretary-Treasurer, and a
representative to the S. G. A. It
will also elect two members to the
Honor Court.
So, it is urged that the Freshman
Class think about good nominees,
and then back their nominees with
votes, so that the Freshmen will
have a good voice in the Student
Government.
