Dr. Campbell, who sits very relaxed
in his chair, says he is "always open to
the press." Back during Spring
semester 1991, he was also open to an
advertisement from a college called
Mars Hill who needed a southern history
professor. When he came for his inter
view in May, he was impressed by the
faculty and student body, and was en
ticed by the beautiful setting.
So where was Dr. Campbell before
he arrived in Mars Hill? Well, he was in
Kentucky. . .most of the time. He at

MINISTRIES
Ready for FUN

reporter
You may have already heard about
us, but we are new on campus, and we
are promising a bunch. We are the
Clowns, and we will be bringing new
light to this campus and to those we min
ister to in the community. Being a
branch of CSM, our mission stands on
the foundation of Jesus Christ. Our
resources include two professionally
schooled clowns as well as students
who practice sign-language, and who
have been involved in clowning for
several years.
Our teams will visit Madison Manor,
Asheville hospitals, churches, children’s
homes, and any other people that call
on our ministry.
Look for us! We’ll be sure to put a
smile in your day!
sity. From there, he traveled back to
southern Kentucky to teach Ap
palachian history of Union college.
At his home in Asheville. Dr.
Campbell leads a happy family life with
his wife of seven years, and his some,
Alexander, who just turned six months
old last Sunday. How does he describe
the life of new fatherhood? He simple
states, "It is the purest joy I’ve ever
known in my life."
His other joys include being a his
torian because he has "always wanted
to write and think about how we define
ourselves." After going to Duke, of
course, he is also a fanatic of college
basketball. But, above all, his "favorite
thing to do is go to a little lake in Ken
tucky and fish all day."

Success at
"The Pole!"
Miriam Bellamy
reporter
With the fall convention up and com
ing, the spirit of the campus is already
bustling. Take, for example, the gather
ing of 100 Mars Hill students and ten
faculty to worship together at seven
o’clock in the morning. That’s exactly
what happened when the Christian Stu
dent Movement sponsored an hour for
prayer on September 11, 1991, called
"Meet Ya at the Pole."
Despite the early morning hours,
everyone was in good spirits and ready
to talk to their Father with all their
brothers and sisters. The New Begin
ning Singers opened up the worship by
singing "Bless the Lord," and Rodney
McRae led some more choruses with
everybody joining in to sing.
Many different requests were lifted in
the short hour, and prayers included
those for the lost people on campus and
some for a new focus on the Bible and
its truth. One major prayer was for Chris
tians to have a revered focus of love and
compassion. Many of those who par
ticipated lifted up soft-voiced prayers in
the large circle. It was a time and a feel
ing of unity and strength.
"Meet Ya At The Pole" was started
last year at a high school in Texas.
Throughout that year about 200 stu
dents at the school were saved.
If you were at the Pole, or if you were
not and would like to join a smaller
prayer group, there is an opportunity at
the Wednesday Morning Prayer Break
fast held every Wednesday at 7:00 am.
It is a Bible study in part and is led by
Rodney McRae. Pray to God about it
and make that tough commitment to
wake up early for fellowship and prayer.
It will truly be exciting to see what God
has in store for our Mars Hiil campus.
