Short will present “The Gospel According to Pea nuts,” a color-slide program, in chapel 27 Oct. as a part of the Lyceum Series. Mr. Short reveals deep theo logical meanings in the cartoon strip “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schulz. His lecture, color slides, and book of the same title have been called a creative, inspiring, and fascinating presentation of the gospel through contemporary niedia. Mr. Short’s program ap peals to young and old alike. Mr. Short’s color-slide lecture and articles on “Peanuts” were expanded into the book, THE gospel according to pea nuts, published in 1964. It is illustrated with selected cartoons and has been called “a unique handbook of the Christian faith.” Kyle Haselden, editor of THE CHRISTIAN CENTURY says, “His use of THE GOSPEL AC CORDING TO PEANUTS to present and interpret theological ^ad biblical insights is warm, humorous, and effective.” Seeking to connect the fields of theology and the art of Charles Schulz, Mr. Short narrates a whole series of original programs exploring the relationship be tween theology and the arts. In addition to “The Gospel Accord ing to Peanuts,” Mr. Short has color slides entitled “Van Gogh— Evangelist in Light and Color,” The Religious Vision of Modern Art,” “Ecclesiastes and the Fam- *iy of Man,” and many others. Mr. Short is now working to ward his Ph.D. degree in re- hgion and art at the Divinity School of the University of Chi cago. He holds a B.A. degree jtrom the University of Okla- homa, a B.D. degree from South- Methodist University, and a M.A. degree in English at North texas State University, where he also taught in the departments of ■^aglish and philosophy. la the field of television Mr. hort has held positions as staff announcer, assistant director in h® production department, and •rector of the Department of Radio and Television for the Dal- as Council of Churches. He has eea both director and actor in a® theater. ^r. Short has been invited to *‘®niain at Mars Hill for a lunch- ®®a and discussion period. An answer has not yet been received. DAVID HOPSTETTER JANIS ELAM Final Inauguration Plans Now Taking Shape A presidential inauguration, the annual homecoming events, laying a cornerstone for the new physical education building, and various dinners and luncheons promise to make the weekend of 4-5 Nov. an historic and memor able occasion in the life of Mars Hill College.

After that time any one will be admitted with or with out a ticket, college officials have announced.

Whopping Turnout Chooses Hopstetter Paul David Hopstetter of Dania, Fla., won the Student Govern ment Association presidential race last week by polling over 72 per cent of total votes cast. Janis Elam of Mars Hill, who was unop posed, was officially elected as SGA secretary. Hopstetter, who won with a platform of “Progress Toward Excellence,” polled a total of 747 votes. Hopstetter’s opponent was Craig Covey, who polled 271 votes. Covey was defeated last year for student body president by Bob Hoots, who could not fill the post, thus necessitating this year’s election. Janis Elam was resoundingly approved by the student body for SGA secretary with 960 votes. She will fill the position instead of Martha Morris, who was elected last year but was unable to hold that office because of academic regulations. Carroll Reed, student body vice-president, reported that the voting turnout was exceptionally good with 1018 votes having been cast. Hopstetter, who has up until this time held the positions of chief marshal and Baptist Student Fellowship director, has decided to resign those positions in the interest of his new office. Succeeding Hopstetter as chief marshall will be Charles Deweese. Hopstetter will remain on the marshal roster. No one has been named yet as director of BSF. Senate Newt During campaign excitement SGA remained active. A Senate meeting was called 11 Oct. to appraise a proposal for the homecoming theme as presented hy the Mars Hill Pep Club. The Senate approved “Best Foot Forward” for this year’s theme. The Pep Club is coordinating the homecoming parade and has asked that all diagrams of floats be submitted to Bucky Wright no later than today. All floats must be approved by a faculty committee. SGA is also sponsoring the trip to Emory and Henry today. Focus Team Selected Robert A. Melvin, college chaplain, announced early this week that the Christian Focus Week team chosen for this year is a well qualified one which ' promises one of the best Focus Weeks ever. The special emphasis week will begin with a dinner 7 Nov. The week will begin in earnest with class discussions, special chapels, and debates 8 Nov, The conclud ing day of Christian Focus Week will be Friday, 11 Nov. Art Earp and Beverly Cansler, co-chairmen of Christian Focus Week, announced that debate topics will be chosen on the basis of a questionnaire recently com pleted by the student body. These topics will be related to the Christian Focus Week theme “RaUon d’ Eire,” the reason for being. Dr. William Lancaster of De catur, Ga., will be one of the featured members of Focus Week this year. Until recently he ser ved as pastor at the First Baptist Church in Orangeburg, S. C. Dr. Lancaster served on a Focus Week team here two years ago. Mr. Melvin reported that Dr. Lancaster is one of the most sought-after speakers on college campuses in the South. Howard Rees, Baptist Student Director for universities in Wash ington, D. C., should prove to be an interesting member of the team. His close association with Washington officials has kept him abreast of current affairs. His interests lie in art and the church in the inner city. Vernon Wall is chaplain at Western North Carolina Sanitor- ium in Black Mountain. His in terest lies in the field of psy chology and psychiatry. He has training and experience in psy chiatric counseling. Mars Hill students who have worked at the sanitorium on Sundays are al ready acquainted with him. Un der his supervision, gproups from the college visit with sanitorium patients. Rev. Richard Myers is from Charlottesville, Va., where he pastors University Baptist Church. A featured speaker at Ridge crest last summer, he was a visi tor on our campus three years ago. Leading discussions on the “God is D.ead” theory will be Dr. John Durham. He is professor of Old Testament at Southeast ern Seminary. Dr, Durham re ceived his doctorate from Oxford University, Oxford, England. Dr. Elmer West, who has al ready won the hearts of many Mars Hill students as pastor of Mars Hill Baptist Church, will be a member of the team. Personnel secretary of the Foreign Mission Board for 10 years, he has wide experience in missions. Christian Focus Week is di recting its thought this year to ward the meaning of human existence—the value of living a full life which is really meaning ful, reported Mr. Melvin. “It is hoped,” he continued, “that students will participate in the class debates and seminars.” This week is being eagerly anticipated by those students who partici pated in it last year, he con cluded.
