DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS? a popular iaa wun young people is the "peace symbol." It is seen everywhere, but few people know its origin or meaning. One of the nation's most sophisticated magazines, the NEW YORKER, has some interesting things to say about it. It is most popular with protesters, draft card burners, and flower children. It is worn also by many thousands of unsuspecting youth. They wear the emblem as a necklace, stamp it on sweatshirts, draw it on notebook covers, even carve it on trees and scrawl it on restroom walls. This is the symbol worn by many of today's young people and is known as the "Peace Symbol." We wonder how many of them, or of you for that matter, know the real meaning of this symbol? The "Peace Symbol" is not something that is the product of today's restless youth. It was well known back in the Middle Ages and was known either as the "Crow's Foot" or the "Witch's Foot." This was the sign of those who were opposed to Christianity! It is a broken cross turned upside down. Now do you see why it is a subtle sign of those who are opposed to the cause of Christ? It is used today as a central part of the national symbolism of Communist Russia. The svmhnl is an Mars Hill Appointment Given age 0,d desi8n- but jt has never been associated "'ui aLc. ii appeal uic uiiiiiiumsui are winning their battle for the minds of our youth. They are making special effort to capture the attention of today's youth in America. Many young people are familiar with the "Peace Symbol" and wear it as jewelry and paint it on cars and draw it on their book covers. It is being worn as a "fad" gadget, not realizing they are supporting the Anti-Christ, the Broken Cross. Every symbol of the broken cross is a victory for communism and reminds us of how vulnerable we Americans are in wearing or portraying this symbol. It is hoped that the origin of the "Peace Symbol" will be remembered the next time you see it, then think of the real symbol of peace the cross of Jesus Christ.. .From the "Franklin Press" An administrative realignment at Mars Hill College was announced Tuesday by Dr. Richard Hoffman, vice president for academic affairs, during a meeting of the Community Development Institute executive committee. Dr John M. Hough Jr. has been appointed to the new position of assistao01ean for academic affairs, ahrJ Dr. Vernon Chapman as Hough's successor as chairman ef the education departmenflfBoth men will assumfc:,theu&new positions June THoffjnan said. Hough's duties as Assistant dean will include";'t the , responsibility for the -various service-learning programs of the institute and special programs of the college and ex officio membership on college committees. He will continue to serve as chairman of the teacher education committee and director of summer cboo?, a position be assumed last year. s Hough had been chairman of the education department since it was formed in 1962. He holds a master's degree and a doctorate in medication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He earned his bachelor's degree at Wake Forest University in 1956 after spending two years at Mars Hill, which was then a junior college. Chapman joined the department as an assistant professor and director of student teaching and the Upward Bound program in the fall of 1969 after receiving a doctorate at the University of Alabama. His master's and bachelor's degrees were earned at Livingston State College in Alabama. The Upward Bound program will be taken over this fall by Charles Phillips, currently on a leave of ab sence at the University of Florida. Chapman's duties as director of student teaching will be assumed by Dr. William Sears, who resigned LUKUTHY BKIuMAN SHUPE I was very happy that Joe Frazier beat Cassius day last night. I just couldnt believe it when my senior boys told me last week that Joe was slated to win! Frankly, I was just as happy to hear the bout over radio with a summary of each round as to hear or see the actual fight Well, maybe. I would have liked to see the knock down in round 15! I believe that if old Clay will now quietly go on into the army, do his bit for his country, and then come back for a rematch I would even be for him to get the title' back but only then! I just can't wait to see how he looks today (Tuesday) and I do hope that tonight on TV someone will have an interview with him. Someone said this morning that Joe didn't break Clay's jaw as was suspected last night. Well, I've found another way to lose my fat! I ordered myself a pair of those Trim Jeans that will take off at least 3 to 6 inches in just three times of wearing them! I have worn " them twice and decided that well, mavbe with mv "flu", I'd better wait a while before doing the exercises three days in a row. To tell you the truth, those jeans just about squeezed me to death and I was afraid I'd lose so much, Shupe wouldn't be able to find me! The funniest part about the jeans was in the reaction of my young neighbor, Jeff Treadway. Tom, Ethel, Charlotte, Dennis, Shupe and I were all laughing and talking about my new jeans in our living room the other night and I was showing the picture that came with the in structions, and the girl on the page was really a well developed beautiful thing and I casually remarked that I was going to look like that pretty girl. Jeff was the last one to get to look at the model and his expression was one of utter disbelief that I could ever look like that! Let me see, my paper staff was chiding me the other day about not writing something about them. I must say they have done a good job this year in getting out three papers and they are doing this fourth one by themselves. Nancy Gentry and Carol Shelton have led the way in producing the paper with Pam Robinson and Deborah Fore backing them up. Becky Reid and Linda Penland are taking typing for the first year and miss that part but come along with their stories on time. James Lewis is a good sports writer and Mallie Hensley is a good stand-by for watever is needed OBSERVED-I really like these four-day weeks we have been having I went to bed Sunday night fearful that our holidays were no more, and woke up to that beautiful stuff . on the ground Congratulations to Karen Robinson for making the Kappa Omlcron Phi at ET SU Also to Harlon Rice for being elected president of county 4-H Council and district candidate for office And to Paula Sams on winning the essay contest in Mars Hill Hope our girls win tonight when they battle the Robbinsville lassies at the district play offs at T.
