Special Football Committee Will Meet With Coaches The special committee formed for the purpose of studying the en tire athletic program at Mars Hill has begun its work, reports the committee chairman. Dr. Ernest Stines. On Jan. 18 the entire commit tee met with Dr. Bentley in Ashe ville. Dr. Stines declined to dis close any details concerning the meeting, stating that he would prefer to hold any comment on the subject until the study is com plete. Another meeting, this one with the athletic staff, is planned for next Wednesday evening, Jan. 31. It will be held on the Mars Hill campus. The committee was formed at the December meeting of the board of trustees after the board delibe rated for several hours on the sub ject of football. The findings of this committee will determine the ultimate fate of football at Mars Hill. As a re sult of its findings the committee will probably have a profound ef fect on the entire athletic pro- g;ram for years to come. Regardless of the findings of the committee there will be no football at Mars Hill next season. Members of the committee in addition to Dr. Stines are Rev. Henry Crouch and John Corbett, trustees, and John Wallace, Howell Fox and John Walker, members of the board of advisors. If all goes as planned, the com mittee should have completed its study in time to submit it, along Christian Focus Week opens Monday night with a Folk Con cert in Chambers Gym. It will be led by Aaltje Van Den Berg and begins at 7:30. 'fhe theme for this year’s focus week is “What’s it all about?” taken from the opening line of the title song to the movie, “Al- fie.” The week will be devoted to ex ploring the meaning of life, voca tion, faith, and the great issues of our day. A well-rounded team of leaders SGA Seeks Campus Radio A campus radio station was a step nearer reality after a meeting of the SGA Senate Thursday night. The senators passed a recom mendation establishing a commit tee to investigate all of the pos sibilities involved in getting a cam pus station on the air. Dan Hayes, sophomore from North Wilkes- boro, was named chairman. He was enthusiastic about the as signment. “There is a need for better com munication on our campus, and a radio station is the best way to im prove this,” he stated. The committee is to investigate the facilities and equipment al ready on hand as well as the ex penses anticipated in rebuilding old equipment and in buying other necessary equipment. Hayes said the “basic expense for establishing the station would be only $200.” He also stressed the fact that students interest and participa tion will be vital to the success of the project. He will conduct an o- pinion poll among the student body to determine what hours the sta tion should be operated and what type of music should be broadcast. The cast for the upcoming pro duction of MacBird has been an nounced by James Thomas, di rector of the play. In the title role of MacBird will be sophomore drama major Dan Hayes. He is from North Wilkesboro. Playing Lady MacBird will be Barbara Whisnant, a freshman from Salis bury. This will be the first lead role for each at Mars Hill. Other performers in the pro duction include Ken Goble as John Ken O’Dunc, (John F. Kennedy), Joe Bingham as Robert Ken O’ Dune, and Joe Cecchine as Teddy Ken O’Dunc. MacBird was written by 26-year old Barbara Garson, a veteran of Berkeley student protests. After much difficulty in getting the play published and performed, it open ed in New York in January of 1967. The play is a parody of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth. It can be considered a sharply pointed satire or a high-spirited low comedy. The play opens at the Demo cratic convention with John Ken O’Dunc offering the Vice Presi dency to MacBird (Lyndon John son). A showdown between Robert Ken O’Dunc andi MacBird at the next nominating convention brings about the conclusion of the play. Thomas stated that MacBird is representative of an attitude pre sent in our society, although it may nob be a prevailing one. “My purpose in presenting it here is that Mars Hillians, although they may not feel that way, should be made aware of such an attitude,” added Thomas. Thomas feels that the presenta tion of MacBird at Mars Hill will be something of a milestone for MHC and for the area. He believes that MacBird will be one of the “happenings” of the school year. “This will offer an opportunity for discussion and should stimu late the campus and hopefully the outlying areas. Criticisms of the play have ranged from high praise to downright condemnation,” he concluded. Performances of MacBird will be in Owen Building at 8 p.m., March 2, 4, and 6. has been obtained for the week.
