Of Wake Forest College.
Three performances by the Col
lege Choir, directed by Joel Ste
gall, are scheduled diu-ing the
next two weeks.
The mixed chorus will give a
concert of sacred music at the
morning worship service of the
Mars Hill Baptist Church on Mar.

formance that night at the First
Baptist Church of Marion.
The group will sing again on

phy from the seven Baptist col

The church performances will

cred selections. The choir also

popular musical “Sound of Mus
ic.”
The well-trained musical group
has already given performances
at the First Baptist Church of
Spruce Pine, the Marshall Baptist
Church and Lee Edwards High
School in Asheville. It also sang
for several hundred high school
glee clubbers here recently for a
choral clinic.
AH of the engagements are in
preparation for the choir’s annual
tour Mar. 20-25, which will take
the singers throughout the state.
What can the humanities do to
help man catch up spiritually,
culturally and politically with his
scientific achievements?
That is the question which Mars
Hill students and faculty mem
bers will explore next week with
the assistance of eight distin
guished visitors from different
professions and disciplines.
The occasion wiU be the sec
ond annual spring symposium,
sponsored by the faculty’s com
mittee on campus seminars, un
der the leadership of Dr. Evelyn

day morning and Saturday night;
a seminar Friday afternoon; and
a lecture concert that night on
American folk music.
The drama, a classic by the
great Norwegian playwright Hen
rik Ibsen, will star Sue Hatfield,
Mrs. Kathy Young, David Jones,
Mike Yelton and “Brick” Tilley.
Both performances will be staged
in the Owen Building.
The visitors who will contrib
ute to the week-long delibera
tions will include NBC news an
alyst Edwin C. Newman; CBS
diplomatic correspondent Marvin
Kalb; space scientist Robert C.
Baumann; Dr. David Gottlieb of
the Job Corps; Dr. J. Oscar Lee
of the National Council of
Churches; Dr. Paul Limbert, ex
ecutive secretary of Blue Ridge
Assembly near Black Mountain;
Dr. John Killenger, a literary
scholar; and Miss Aaltje Van Den-
burg, a folklorist and folksinger.
“Man has made great progress
in the field of science,” explains
Dr. Underwood, “but he has
lagged behind in many areas of
human knowledge. If man is to
remain the master of his tech
nology and not become its un
thinking servant, he must culti
vate other areas of knowledge.
"In past ages the humanities
and arts sustained man at his
deepest level of being; in this age
of uncertainty and change, they
can offer a vision of eternal veri
ties — love, beauty, justice and
freedom."
The symposium was instituted
last year by the faculty as a
means of enriching the college’s
academic and cultured programs.
Whether on a demanding as
signment as a floor reporter at a
national political convention or
ferreting out human interest fea
tures at a world’s fair, Newman
creates an engaging synthesis be
tween accurate reporting and wry
humor.
Intrigued by people, he strives
to make his audiences feel they
are with him on an assignment,
rather than just absorb the in
formation he has to convey.
As an NBC newsman he has
covered important stories in 25
countries and mixed with many
of the world’s notable citizens.
