THE DIALETTE
MAY 24, 1968
My Magic Crystal Ball
Graduation is around the corner
and many plans are being made a-
bout “what next?” Let us now look
into the crystal ball and see what
citizens of our community will be do
ing in the future.
What’s the matter with the
stupid ball? No one would ever expect
to find Mag Vinson serving tables at
the Barvarian Celler to Jack Robbins
and Marshall Garland. Boy, have they
made a change for the worse since
Montreat.
On the picture of a t. v. set
appears the thin beautiful body of
Maria Haubrick. She smiles and says
“Live from Miami. It’s the Neely
Barry Show starring Howard’s Hero’s,
Gypsy Rose Rosford, the nations
number one folk singer-Len Hull,
Captain Bible Jr., Pat, John and Pat,
and Giltner’s Gorillas and a dancing
Kohler Bear.”
“AttentionAll right men,”
Fred Greene cries. “The General is
coming to inspect the barracks. I
want the beds made and the floors
clean. Gentlemen, cut 9ut the pro
fanity, we don’t want to insult the
General’s wife!”
THE RIGHT
TO DISSENT
The right
to
disagree publicly
is one of the
privileges
of a free society.
Many a wise and
articulate dissenter
has changed an
unfair law.
Science,
medicine,
politics,
business,
the most personal of
human relationships
are propelled
into forward progress
by restless
dissenters.
But when you
take to the soapbox
of minority opinion,
remember that any new
idea is easy to talk
about but hard to sale.
The decibles of your
voice
and the theatrics of
your behavior
are poor substitutes
for the logic of your
persuasion
and the soundness
of your arguements.

Just then the ball focuses in on
Bob Barrett standing in the door. The
sound of beer bottles crashing on the
lawn is heard. The ball again fades.
Oh! Magic ball don’t stop now!
Please let me see what Flo Ramsey
is doing. Nothing new, Flo is still
chasing that blue motorbike.
This place looks familiar, why
yes! It’s dear old Howerton Cafeteria.
There’s Brenda Orr putting up the
menu “Poke chops and Roast Groins.”
Brenda walks over and tells Bill
Nanny to stop picking his nose and
take out the relish dish. She then
instructs A1 Weisiger, Betty Rudisill,
John Young and Elaine Stinson not
to give more than two pieces of tur
key, a slice of salami and the bal-
. oney goes only with the chicken when
turkey or ham is served without sal
ami. The employees seem to be con
fused but that doesn’t bother the
manager, who is Dave Graham, busy
taking hair, glass,, pennies, tricycles,
and Susie’s grandchildren out of the
spaghetti.
The ball projects a picture of
Gaither Chapel. Lo! A flagpole. The
plaque says: “Dedicated in the mem
ory of the class of 1958-73.”
The crystal ball is fuzzy but wait
.—I can see men dressed in stripes,
chains and a guard. The guard sure
does look familiar. Well, if it isn’t
Bill Jones. The men seem to be ex
cited about something. Suddenly
cheers of “fight, fight, fight”. The
ball flickers and flashes and finally
fades just as a one-eyed prisoner
leaps at the guard.
NEXT YEAR...
THE CAVALIER
Have you thought of what you
are going to do next year? You
might think of working on the staff
of next year’s Cavalier doing what
interests you most. You could write
of the activities of your club or or
ganization. There are many organi
zations here at Montreat. If these
had a regular column in the Cavalier
more people would be aware of the
club’s activities and would be more
interested in joining the organizat
ions and participating in their activi
ties.
Perhaps you have a particular in '
terest and would like to meet others
with these same interests or you just
might feel you have something to
say—write an article for the Cavalier.
History or Economics majors
might want to start a current events
commentary. There are many possi
bilities which are yet to be exploited.
BLACK MOUNTAIN
DRUG CO.
We have enjoyed serving
the class of 1968, and want to
wish them the best of luck in
the future. If in the future
you are ever in Black Moun
tain, drop in and say hello,
we’d be glad to see you.
F.C.A. CHAPTER
STARTED AT
MONTREAT
After the visit of some of the
great names in sports as represent
atives of the Fellowship of Christ
ian Athletics there was great interest
shown by many of the athletes here
at Montreat in starting a chapter on
campus.
It was a little late in the year
to sponsor many activities but a chap
ter was started this year to provide
a strong foundation to build on for
next year
At its first organizational meet
ing, Bill Sullivan was elected captain
to start building the club this year.
Dave Walters was elected to take
over the reins for next year, and
Danny Dixon was chosen as secre
tary-treasurer for next year.
Its main objective is to “con
front athletes and coaches, and
through them, the youth of the nat
ion with the challenge and adven
ture of following Christ in the fel
lowship of the church.” It is hoped
that through the activities and ideas
planned the Fellowship here at Mon
treat will be able to do its part in
carrying God’s Grace to Montreat and
the surrounding communities.

another race.
Crime has extended not only
to the campus community but to
private homes and cottages where
thefts have taken place.
Montreat is not really out of
line with the rest of the world as
some think, because here crime is a
part of the campus which the ad
ministration and student government
must eliminate, or else risk having an
unlawful community where some
one’s property will not be safe

POOR JOHN
.John was high the other night so
I asked him, “John, why are you
drunk?”
His reply was, “When I’m drunk
the world is beautiful.”
Immediately I perceived that John
was in an intensely expressive mood
so I continued my interrogation.
“Why is the world so beautiful,
John?”
“Cause when I’m drunk. I’m not in
it.”
In the face of such profundity I
could only ask, “Is there something
wrong with the world, John?”
“Yeah,” he answered, “enough to
make me want to get drunk.”
I would have continued to ques
tion John had he not experienced
acute upset. Thankfully, however,
the shortness of the dialogue did not
hamper its depth. Suddenly I found
myself wishing for escape. But re
flecting on poor John’s present con
dition of upset and despair, I de
cided against escape for the mo
ment. Temporarily escape for John
had been so futile, so physically
distressing that I could not follow
him into this beautiful world of
drunkenness for fear that I too
would sicken myself for fear of the
artificial escape.
Some minutes later John returned.
I asked, “John why did you get so
sick?”
“Too much beautiful beer, I
guess. Why ain’t you drinking?”
My answer was, “because you’ve
made the world beautiful for me.”
This remark took John by surprise,
face distorted with confusion. He
sat there in semi - drunkenness, I
left him' sitting there and walked
outside into the ugly world to ask
it a few questions.

Maybe Perhaps Who Knows?
establishment knew without thinking;
that saw Darrow as the devil incar
nate because he was positive of little
(except that all men had basic human
rights and that love and mercy
should prevail), including whether
Jesus was divine.
Believe what you will, but allow
others the dignity of their beliefs,
without chastisement. Air your brain
and invite in for inspection new and
perhaps alien thoughts. If you can
not agree, try at least to understand;
and if you can do neither, then is the
time to defend the right to say it. For
it may be right, since a little or
nothing is certain and absolute. May
be.
