Spiritual Warfare to be Visualized
Greybeard Players Present Main Stage Production of Screwtape
began rehearsals in early Sep
tember. According to Hardman,
the play is about an elder fiend
tutoring a novice
on his first temp
tation assignment.
Screwtape shows
the temptation of
humans from a
fiendish perspec
tive.
Hardman had
several reasons for
Screwtape. She
feels that the play will be in
sightful, daring, and different
from anything the Greybeard
Players has ever done. She be-

Evil spirits from another
dimension come alive in the
play Screwtape, dramatized by
M-AC students in the upper
stage of Anderson Auditorium.
This production is based
on C.S. Lewis' book. The
Screwtape Letters, however,
the play itself was written by
James Forsyth. The play will
be performed on November 18,
19, and 20 at 8:15 pm.
Director Jennifer Hardman
emphasized that she had been
planning the play for a long
time. She first read the play
last December, and has been
working on it ever since.

Studies OfF-Campus
Students* Needs
By Marcy Buckner
Resident students retreat to
dormitory rooms to study and re
lax. However, off-campus stu
dents do not have a place to call
thier own.
The McGregor lobby was for
merly a designated off-campus stu
dent lounge. However, with the
reopening of McGregor as the only
co-ed dorm on campus, there is the
possibility that off-campus stu
dents are not as comfortable at this
location.
Vice-President Charlie Lance
says that there has been talk about
the need for a quiet get-away for
all students who do not wish to be
in the mainstream. However, this
idea is only one of many in the
brain-storming process of M-AC's
development.
One option considered was
converting the downstairs room of
the library into a lounge. How
ever, this would require more com
fortable furniture and pleasing col
ors. This room may also need to,

the play with a new perspective,
even though everyone may not
appreciate the dy
namics of the pro
duction.
Mark Bolick,
who plays the de
mon named
Screwtape, com
mented, "It's re
ally spooky to
play such an un-
acter because it
opens the door of human na
ture."
Hardman and Bolick agreed
that Screwtape will be a pro
vocative and surprising produc
tion that will entertain, as well
as challenge individuals theo
logically, emotionally, and so
cially.
Mark Wright, who plays
Wormwood, commented, "Any
one who has read C.S. Lewis'
books is sure to love it."
Sophomore Miriam Chapen
submitted, "It's going to be a
fabulous play."
SGA bought 200 tickets that

students wishing to bring guests,
can purchase tickets. The ticket

Students Gather to Pursue God's Will
Urbanna '93 to Focus on World Evangelism
By Anna Shimaya
Dynamic speakers, exciting
missionaries, and attractive ex
hibits from all around the world
will be provided at Urbanna '93.
According to Kurt
Grohman, Urbanna '93 will be a
giant gathering of college stu
dents coming together to focus
on world evangelism. It will
also be an opportunity for stu
dents to get more involved in
missions.
Grohman also contributed
that the purpose of Urbanna '93
will be to let people know that
God can use them to impact the
world for Jesus Christ. Urbanna
'93 will also discuss how God
can use people to impact the
world.
Grohman, who is involved
with Urbanna, commented, "I
expect to see the students that go to
Urbanna '93 to come back with a
strong sense of what God's will is
for their life, whether is missions or
not. This will fuel them to reach out
to other students who need to be
ministered to and need guidance/
direction. Also, I expect to see M-
AC students going on a summer
mission project even if it's just for
one week."
at some point, be used as a class
room. For example, the MAPPS
program, for older students com
pleting degrees, may need this space
to form offices. At this time, noth
ing has been resolved.
Lance remarked, "In this com
munity, it's more likely that folks
don't feel that they have to carve out
their territory. Off-Campus stu
dents feel comfortable going to any
dorm lobby. But if I'm misjudging
that, I sure would like to know."
Junior Marcie Blevins, an off-
campus student, commented, "I
don't have time to use a lounge. If
I’m not in class. I'm not here."
The off-campus students
have had one meeting, and, ac
cording to Lance, will need to
have another one soon to look at
this issue, and other issues per
taining to off-campus students'
needs. Jonathan Woody is the
SGA off-campus student repre
sentative.
Conference Enlightens Campus About Missions
By Kathryn Lettennan
The Shakespeare Festival was
successsful this past weekend. The
festival was held in Anderson Audi
torium and Dr. Rich Gray was in
charge of organizing the event. Dr.
Gray commented, "I felt that it was
the most attractive and entertaining
production that they have done of the
three in Anderson Auditorium. I
enjoyed the way it was staged. I
enjoyed the way they blocked, used
props, [and used] gestures to make
the Elizabethan language more con
temporary. And my favorite scene
was the last scene where Pertruchio got
down on his knee to hear Kate tell him
that she would be his loyal, subject
wife."
Dr. Don King, who is a big fan of
Shakespearecontributed, "Ithoughtthat
it was a very good performance, every-
oneenjoyed themselves, and we're hop
ing to bring the North Carolina Shakes
peare Festival back to campus nextfalL"
Junior Jarnie King added, "The
festival once again proved to be excel
lent and was a great chance to bring
culture to Montreat"
Missionaries from different agen
cies will be visiting the canpus. The

Senior Scott Ward expressed,
"It’s a good idea to focus on mis
sions because of the neccessity for
Christians to spread the gospel,
whether at home or overseas. We
get to talk to actual missionaries
who have experienced overseas
ministry."
