Funny thing, it came from an Indian market in South America. Twenty students from the college traipsed across the land from Bogotci, Colombia to Arequipa, on somewhat of a mission impos sible. This was no ordinary tour. Five days before the tour was to end in Cezco, Peru, one student had an attack of appendicitis and Doctor McCoy had to remain behind with her. Was the tour to go on? Of course. Karen Caldwell Wayman had The Movement by Mark Hutcherson There is a new feeling breeding here at Mars Hill and those who attended the C.S.M., pre-school re treat, not only witnessed but lent a hand in its spiritual ebullition which nearly ran away from itself in en thusiasm and participation. This feel ing was a shaking to the feet of the Christianity that has in the past "hid its light under a bushel,” a dwarfed enclave of small number and voice, further dwarfed in an apathetic campus setting, vapid in structure. It did not appear to bear the statement—which the C.S.M. should constantly extend that, “Mars Hill is, in fact, a Christian college. After all.” Instead one heard only an insipid echo that reverberated in a few Chapel-ughl-Programs, of ever increasingly sparse attendance. Not so this year. Grady Nutt, the living, operative definition of Christ ian charisma, easy yet mirthfull, Andy Griffin-type humor, tiple trou- bador, magnetic to the eyes and laughter of the assembled, spoke at the first “Student Encounter” (that will replace the old mandatory chapel quandary), which was a rather promising first. He observed in his closing of the “Gospel-and-fun-field- day”, that Mars Hill,” . . . struggles to keep up,” and struggles to, “Keep in there.” This suggests again that we are finally getting the spirit of Christianity. What does this suggest, this new enthusiasm? Have the Christians de cided contritely that they have sim ply not been making it before? Is it merely a confrontation, a distraction of the otherwise ultimate ennui of a Mars Hill “entertainment drought”? I think that this conflagration will certainly meet a tough challenge this year. But, with the coddling efforts of the C.S.M. and the participation of interested students and faculty, may be—and we must certainly have faith —that they might blend just the right ammonia to place under the nostrils of a faint humanity. Pie in the sky? God-Squad hyper bole? Baptist college mania? Well, the feeling Is there and the Chris tians are seeming to find a joy to living that Is well worth looking In to. Maybe, and at long last, a real incipient revolution is emerging. Go tell your brother. to lead the rest of the tour. Off on their merry way, they arrived in Pino where they found out that the tour ist agency that was handling this part of their tour had been shut down for dealings In the black mar ket. Whopeel! What about the normal part of their tour? They visited a floating island and rode in reed boats on Lake Titicaca (look it up). From jungles below sea level to elevation of 15,000 feet, they traveled through Colombia, Equador, and Peru. Let me remind you that Peru is under a military dictatorship. This meant that everywhere they went they were checked and double checked. A complete rundown on who, what, and where you were was necessary. However, they all survived the ex perience and came back with a new awareness of America. Students who participated in this adventure were: Nancy Buchanan, Joe Carter, Barbara Fox, Sherry Frye, Dee Gadshal, Edward Marelius, Bill Martin, Margaret Mashburn, Randall Metcalf, Carroll Mullins, Judy Orr, Kathi Pelham, Jim Potts, William Seagle, Jane Simmons, Sandy Ward, Bill Williamson, Roy Wood, David Major, Paul Rood, Bobby Franklin, Henry Chandler, Scotty Gorrell, Mar vin Parrott, and Karen Caldwell Way- man. Across the ocean, to the continent of Europe, more MHC students were wandering around. Trips were made to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France. ' The German tour featured visits to everything from a brewery to the Olympic complex, from East Berlin to Dachau. Students who went on the Ger man tour were Linda Yea man, Donna Arrowood, David Gillespie, John Mauney, Don Stowe, Sandra Merrill, Don Seay, Jeannie Nye, George Henson, John Wilkins, Roger Smith, David Johnson, Rick Guard, Evirina Gillespie, Pat Ward, Owen Aycock, and Mike Stephens. The French tour began with six full days in Paris. Those students participating in this tour were: Ed ward Martin, Lee Wilkinson, Britt Brittle, Teddy Cody, Wayne Seay, Carolyn Riddle, Tony Surace, Beth Swann, Charles Lang, Christine Gre gory, Danny Farrell, Edward Lynch, Elsberry Wyatt, Taylor Orr, George Richardson, Gretchen Mayo, Richard Hutchinson, and Charles Norburn. Scrimmage Scribble Prospects for the 1971 football season appear bright for Coach Harold Taylor and the MHC Lions. The Lions lost 11 by graduation and have signed 21 outstanding athletes to replace those lost. There are six men vying for the position of quarterback. Kip Smith, a sophomore, is presently in the lead, followed closely by junior Dennis Stokes. Stokes, a former high school quarterback, has been switched from his running back position. During the three-a-day practices last week, the Lions worked on con ditioning during the early part of the week. The coaching staff was able to get a close look at all the new freshman prospects. Coach Taylor was pleased with the speed and quickness exhibited by his team. Wednesday afternoon the Lions put on the pads and began serious work toward their opening date Sept. 18 against the Catawaba Indians in Salisbury. The first .home game is Sept. 25 against Randolph-Macon. The MHC Lions push and shove on Meyers field in a practice scrimmage. Notice the zest and vigor on the faces of these young athletes as they strive to prove their worth on the field of battle. These young men are all vying for a spot on the famous football team, the Lions (not Detroit but MHC).
