on many television programs in

Never claiming to be ‘folksing-
ers” — since, to the group’s way
of thinking, a folksinger is one
who has experienced the things
about which he sings and has inti
mate knowledge of the areas from
which his music springs — the
Chad Mitchell Trio does, however,
make considerable use of folk ma
terial, feeling that the folk idiom
conveys, in the most artistic and
effective manner, those ideas with
which the Trio identifies and
wishes to express.
Students will be given priority
in seating but are asked to come
early to prevent confusion.

Team Set
The students of Mars Hill Col
lege may have an opportunity to
send one of their classmates to
Korea this summer as a mission
ary.
The Listen Fund of the Baptist
Student Union of North Carolina
is sponsoring a work team of
eight men and women on an in
terracial basis who will spend 10
weeks in Korea during the sum
mer of 1964.
Five students from large col
leges and three from smaller col
leges will be chosen. Students
will be selected for their abilities
in medical work, construction
work and educational work. Em
phasis will be placed on spiritual,
physical, emotional and motiva
tional qualities of the students.
The team will be involved in
study, worship, recreation and the
construction of a community
building for worship and com
munity activities.
Mars Hill, which is in the large-
college category, hopes to provide
a member of this team. Interest
ed students will be screened and
one chosen by a committee at
Mars Hill. Later, the person chos
en will be interviewed by the
state committee. Should a per
son be selected from Mars Hill, it
will be necessary to raise between
$1000-$1250 through the regular
campus Listen Fund.

Christian Focus Week, five
days and nights of intensive con
sideration of the full meaning of
the theme “Life Is Commitment,”
will begin on the campus Monday.
An impressive array of off-
campus speakers will be here to
conduct seminars, hold informal
discussions, preach and guide the
exploration on the theme. These
include the Rev. Douglas Aldrich,
pastor of the First Baptist Church
of Gastonia; Mr. and Mrs. James
Cansler of Chapel Hill; Zeb Moss,
missionary to Northern Rhodesia;
and the Rev. Richard Myers, as
sociate pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Florence, S. C.
A sixth member of the Foetus
Week team as mentioned in a
previous edition of the Hilltop,
the Rev. Virgil Moorefield, noti
fied college officials that he would
be unable to participate as
planned.
The week’s schedule is a full
and varied one. Chapel services
will, of course, be given over to
team members. In addition two
seminars will be held daily. Mr.
and Mrs. Cansler — he is BSU
director at the University of
North Carolina — will direct dis
cussion on the different aspects
of sex, love and marriage. This
seminar will be at 4 p. m. in the
library auditorium.
At 7 p. m. in Moore Auditorium
Mr. Myers will lead discussions
regarding the Christian outlook
on world problems. Following
this seminar a worship service
will be held in the main audi
torium with Mr. Aldrich as guest
minister.
Informal dormitory discussion
periods will be held each evening
following the worship service. A
member of the visiting team of
speakers will be present to an
swer questions and direct the
talks.
Mr. Moss will hold special con
ferences on Thursday and Friday
for any students interested in
mission work.
Four Students, Staffer Take
Roles In ‘Angel Street’
Roles in the drama department’s
Mar. 6-7 production of the melo
drama “Angel Street” have been
won by Mayon Weeks, Kathy
Young, Douglas Therrell, Ann
Johnson and Betty Lou Shaver.
Mayon will play the lead role
of Mr. Manningham, a greedy
and evil character who attempts
to drive his wife insane. The wife
is Kathy’s role, a big change for
the young actress who played the
title role in “Diary of Anne
Frank.”
Mr. Therrell’s part will be that
of a retired detective. Rough, who
thwarts Manningham’s attempts
to destroy his wife.
Ann, a newcomer to dramatics
here, will portray Nancy, a flirta
tion maid in the Manningham
household; and Betty Lou will
play the part of Elizabeth, an
other household servant who is
loyal to Mrs. Manningham.
The three-act mystery, also
known as “Gaslight,” will be di
rected by James Thomas of the
speech, drama and English staff.
Mr. Thomas also will design the
sets and handle the lighting. Mac
Watson will be stage manager
and Mrs. Elizabeth Watson will
design the costumes.
Trial Opening Set
In Student Center
The Student Center will be
open from 7:30 until 10:30 p. m.
on Saturdays beginning Feb. 22,
it has been agreed by the Admin
istrative Council and the Student
Government. The opening will be
on trial basis with interest shown
being the determining factor in
whether the Saturday night hours
will be continued.
The Center has been open at
a similar time in previous school
years, but it was closed because
of lack of interest shown.
