The highest ratings were received in areas of knowledge of the subject, explanations, disposition in which over half the student body graded a superior rating. Only with the question of tests did the entire faculty fall short. “In relation to the level and subject matter of this course, this instructor’s quiz and examinations are,” was the ques tion. To this 57 per cent graded the faculty with an average and 26 per cent graded with a little harder than average and 11 percent said that the tests are extremely too hard. Therefore 94 percent of the students tested felt that tests were between average and too hard.

Many young people are familiar with the “Peace Symbol” and wear it as jewely or paint it on their cars. It’s been worn as a “fad gadget,” the wearers not realizing that they are supporting the emblem of the Anti-Christ, the Broken Cross. Remember the origin of the “Peace Symboi” the next time you see it, and then remember the reai symboi of Peace .. . The Cross of Jesud Christ. "V fn, renovated Student center, two students are observing the change while •heir order. This evaiuation was a survey of the total faculty, further analysis will be available when the committee finishes its report. When this is done the Hilltop will publish these results. Intern Wrap-Up (Cont. from P. 1) inars, lectures, jam sessions, and readings provided interns an aca demic support to their projects and helped to establish and maintain a sense of interdependency among interns, especially those concerned with simiiar projects. Each intern was responsible to write a research paper of practical summary concerning his or her ex perience during the program. The papers will be distributed to parti cipating and other inteested agencies, other internship offices in North Carolina, and the Appalachian Re gional Commission; copies of all papers will be filed at the Com munity Development Institute for fu ture use by students. Six of the interns who are pes- ently enolled in MHC served as tu- tor-counseiors for Upward Bound students from Madison County. Those interns are Gaither Baum gardner, Tom Coates, Nancy Coilis, Pat Horton, Rodney Johnson and Paul Pinkston. The Wolf Laurel resort at Big Bald Mountain offered several in ternships. Mars Hill students who participated and their respective projects are as follows: Lou Ann Long, Stu Sutherland, Randy Craw ford, recreation: Terry Kuykendall, journalism and public relations; Ken Stephens, photography and pubiic relations; Bill Hamby, business ap plication. Interns who worked in public agencies in Asheville are: Bill Early and Myra Smith, Model Cities; David King, Supeior Court; Larry Pfaff, Asheville Police RDepartment; Perry Springfield, Highway Com mission. ^ Paula Maley evaluated the tutor ial corps at MHC and Harry Quiett initiated a tutorial program under the sponsorship of several Ashe ville churches. Ron Richardson and Clyde Peery worked in education programs in Madison County under the sponsor ship of the Rural Project of The Opportunity Corporation. David Cunningham and Danny Ray served as political interns with the Republican and Democratic par ties, respectively. Mary McGaha and Clyde “Soupy” Campbell established and operated the first summer recreational program in Barnardsville. Barbara Whisnant and Morris White operated a sum mer camp for 63 Madison County youths. The camp was the first in the history of the county and hope fully laid the ground work for the establishment of a permanent sum mer camp in the county. Mike Keever worked with The Madison County Industrial Develop ment Corpoation. Diane Lee and Pat Cone worked on Phase 1 of Operation Town Lift for Mars Hill. Rick Garrison was an intern for the Community Development Insti tute and was responsible for print ing a newsletter for interns. Karen Cummings worked in Washington, D.

The administrative part of the program will terminate by the first of October. In “Mark Twain Tonight”, John Chappell explains the way in which he sights his rifle and proceeds to tell how the animal barely missed being shot. Chappell Re-creates Satirical Twain Moore Auditorium will be the scene of a world-famous re-crea tion of one of America’s most ap pealing and stimulating writer-philo sopher-humorists, Mark Twain, when John Chappell performs on Thurs day, Seplemer 24, at 8 p.m. in the program “Mark Twain Tonight.” “Mark Twain Tonight”, which won for Hal Holbrook the Tony Award, the Drama Critics Circle Award and an Emmy nomination, is 99 per cent Twain material. Some selec tions are whole pieces of material lifted from one source, with addi tional lines from other sources sewn into the fabric of the piece to sharp en its dcamatic or humorous possi bilities. Other selections begin with an idea of some topical value, with comments and anecdotes about it wrought together to form a satire on the subject. It was Twain who obseved “Man is the only animal that blushes, or needs to.” “If you pick up a starv ing dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.” “It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native crimi nal class except Congress.” “To my knowledge I have no race, color or creed prejudices ... all I care to know is that a man is a human be ing. That’s good enough for me. He can’t be any worse.” John Chappell will present “Mark Twain Tonight”, a theater portrait, live and on stage, and as is custom ary admission is free. Tutorial Program Shifts Emphasis The tutorial program of the Com munity Development Institute is be ing shifted this year to come under the direction of Dr. John Hough, head of the Education department. Already since his appointment. Dr. Hough has shaped the program un der three groups. The first group will be the Dis advantage Child Course which will enroll those students who have completed the course of Education 202 or those taking it for the first time. Tutors and tutees in this group will be assigned on a one to one basis. The second group will bo those placed in public high schools. These students will tutor in thei specific academic area at least one day a week and go to a seminar scheduled every Monday night. The third group of tutors will work in the academic departments under the direction of the faculty coordina tors in the departments. This parti cular type of tutoring has existed in the home economics, physical edu cation, music and drama depart ments where students directed acti vities In certain selected communi ties. Many of the Ideas of this program was an outgrowth of Paula Malay’s intership this summer (see page 1). This tutorial program is based on the theory that students that tutor need some training before they can do an adequate job. Quality Curriculum (Cont. from P. 1) it was accepted by a vote of 80 to 3. After two years the new curri culum will be evaluated and up dated if need be. Jack Grose, chair man of the Curriculum Committee, said ‘‘there are going to be a lot of problems in implimenting this new curriculum, but I think this would be true with any faculty curriculum change that would be made.” Dr. Hoffman said that the adoption of the 4-1-4-1-2 signaled a major philosophy shift from an authoritar ian and specialized curriculum to one more flexible and integrated one. Dr. Hoffman will discuss the new curriculum and calendar during cha pel on Oct. 1, and during the week following a series of dorm meetings will be devoted to answering ques tions on the subject and giving further elaboration.
