By Donovan Campbell On Monday night, February 12th, Gaither Chapel was riddled with all sorts of interesting characters and laughter. The King of Hearts contes tants - Jonathon Adcock, Sam Ivey, Drew Devoursney, and Billy May - put on a very exciting show! Host Keith Piper, King of Hearts 2000, opened the show with a stun ning duet between himself...and himself (his left side makes a beau tiful woman). The contestants were then introduced and made extremely energetic entrances including a dar ing leap from the balcony by Drew Devoursney, an eye catching strut by Sam Ivey, snowboarding by Jonathon Adcock, all paramounted by rock star Billy May with his elec tric guitar. Throughout the pageant the four continued revealing hilari ous and sometimes disturbing as pects of themselves. During the swimsuit competition, the audience received great glimpses of Drew and Sam’s poolside best. Jonathon showed off his re- Montreat College’s hearthrobs from left to right: Drew Devoursney.

Enjoy. Sonnet 18 Shall 1 compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do not shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all to short a date: Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines. And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair some times declines. By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d; But thy eternal summer shall not fade. Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade. When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see. So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. -William Shakespeare Pets? Ever wondered about some of the rules we have here at Montreat? Tim Perry, a Montreat Alum who works down at “Song of the Wood”, made some comments recently, evidenc ing his continued confusion at some of the guidelines put on pet-keep ing in the dorms. He writes: “The thing that baffled me about the rule was that no matter how 1 looked at it, it just never seemed to make any sense. 1 mean, what were they try ing to accomplish? Did they want only silent pets? If so, what about reptiles, or dogs with laryngitis? I don’t think deer or giraffes make any noise. Did they want pets that didn’t need much room? What about the host of other animals that could live Continued on Page 2 Activity Schedule! Movies! The Student Activities Office has just received a new bundle of movie tickets.

The contest ended with Billy reveal ing what a monkey he really is by appearing in an attractive gorilla suit. Next, these brave men displayed their favorite talents. Jonathon im pressed the audience and judges with his ability to lip sync along to the ‘Mighty Mouse’ theme song. Coun try bumpkin Drew also sang for the crowd as he played along on his gui tar. (His was a touching ballad he wrote for dear old mamma). Sam re cited a rather devastating and origi nal child’s tale as he demonstrated his insatiable appetite for the animal cracker characters of the story. Lastly, Billy too demonstrated an appetite - an appetite for milk, ba nanas, and agood oP heatin’. Amidst chugging a half gallon of milk, he received beat downs from both Hunter Hamilton and David Teague for insulting their mothers. The judging ended after a very intense and personal Question and Answer session with the judges. Dr. Forstchen, Sandra Owens, and Mrs. Rob and Mr. Fran Anderson probed the desires and intellects of the contestants. They even managed to strike a nerve and bring tears to Sam’s eyes when mentioning the last phone call to his mother that ended with his mother telling him “Poochie,” the beloved dog, had died. Then, Drew divulged his idea of the perfect woman. While the contestants ciianged clothes between each of these events, the audience delightfully enjoyed several games and contests. The first game, “Stupid Human Tricks” involved three vol unteers from the crowd. Mike Masten and his talented tongue started off the first interlude by pre paring a “delicious” bologna sand wich without the aid of any hands. Next, Beau Moffatt betrayed his typical quiet nature by rendering his helium-powered version of Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice Baby.” Then, Caroline Simmons evidenced her unique double-jointed ankles, winning first place and earning a $10 reward for the contest. In the second game random spec tators participated in a form of “ Let’s Make a Deal.” Prizes for this were extremely varied. Mary Biddings made a lucky pick and Continued on Page 2 Montreat Wins Conference! Get the story in the Sports Section on Page 2 What's in a Ministry? ? By Tim Tyson Esther 4:14 “For if you remain si lent at this time, relief and deliver ance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"-(NIV) In a time of great need for Gods people, the Lord responded with deliverance. The only thing He re quired to bring about that deliver ance was obedience from His ser vant Esther. He gave a message to Esther and an opportunity for her to give that message to King Xerxes. The Lord asked Esther to risk her life for Him and His people. Al though in the here and now Chris tians at Montreat do not have the fates of thousands on their shoul ders, the call is no less potent. De spite what students have in store for them in the future, it is also of note Spiritual Munchies... By Jennifer Albertson Many religious media sources and churches around our nation tell us that in order to be a true Chris tian, we have to be happy and excited. Some even claim that if we are really a Christian we cannot be depressed, sad or angry! Is there truth in this? Are Christians called to be peppy and cheerful all the time? Of course not, but then the question is raised: “Well, what does Paul mean in the book of Romans when he says “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord?” (Romans 12:11) We know that this zeal Paul is talking about is ultimately a gift from the Lord through Jesus’ death and resurrection; this gift of life is one that God desires each and ev ery one of us to have. By defini tion, the word zeal is “the intense and earnest effort to reach a goal.’”* So, then the question for Christians and non-Christians alike becomes, ‘What is your goal?’ Have you set that ultimate goal in life that you are zealously trying to reach? We also find, in Paul’s writ ing to the church of Corinth, his challenge to “make it our goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” (2 Cor. 5:9-10). This goal then be comes the standard for our judgment. Anything that diverts you from reaching your goal should be cutoff! Just as Jesus stated, “If your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.” (Matthew 5:29) Thus, “the whole conduct of life must be molded by [our goal/ zeal], if the Christian is not to lose what he has been given and risk failure to reach the goal set before him.”* Do not be diverted to the left or the right; walk the path set before you! •The New Inteniational Dictionary of New Tes tament Theology. Vol. 3. Grand Rapids: Re gency Reference Library (1971): 1166-1169. to reinembei that the Lord’s calling on their lives for the here and now is no less important. This is one of the presuppositions of the SCA (Student Christian As sociation.) We as students have been brought to Montreat, not only to fur ther the Lords ultimate plan for our lives, but also to do what the Lord has set before us, in the sense that there are also ministry opportunities here on campus. This is why the SCA is in the pro cess of being brought back into cam pus existence. In a student interest meeting Wednesday the 7th of Feb ruary' eleven students made the first big step in reinstating the SCA. The SCA’s new function will be to try and facilitate the unification of the body of Christ on campus and in the city of Montreat. To bring them together, learning to encourage each other as the Body of Christ, relying on Jesus and each other. The SCA wants to help Montreat realize its community identity in Christ. If anyone is interested there will be another meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 5:00-6:00 in the Cafeteria. From the Editor... Fellow Montreatians, we would like for you to write in to the Editor. Write in your suggestions, com ments, criticisms, your praises, or j ust a deep thought you had the other day.
