Harkins brought samples to the East Quad apartment and proceeded to demonstrate to the group of blue-jeaned students what she said was the best method for cooking carrots, and the energy-saving ability and durability of the pans. She hit the china with a knife to show that it would not break and per- formed finger circles on the crystal to make it sing. The business is completely legitimate, said Harkins. Though one must make a commitment to purchase the merchandise at the time of the demonstration, she said, federal law S 1 give sail requires that consumers have at least three days to back out. - "I have nothing to hide," she said. "If it wasn't for real, I wouldn't come back." "THOUGH' THE - merchandise is received within two to three weeks af- ter signing the contract, Harkins said, the payments of $35.24 a month on the $865.76 purchase do not begin until six weeks after purchase of the lifetime- guaranteed cookware. Harkins said she operates on the principle that the purchase entails set- ting aside only $1 a day for 24 months, money which could easily be wasted. Once students graduate, she stresses, I 4 RETREAT the second floor bookstore 336% S.

"This package is worth $1,200-$1,400, and all we're asking for is $1 a day," said Harkins. Zellis claimed, though, that the requirement of purchase on the spot made him wary. , "I DIDN'T LIKE the idea that you had to have $20 right now, and if you don't give it right now, you can't get it (The merchandise). That's what makes me think it's not legitimate." But Harkins explained that Mariac is "not even scratching the surface of the market" of college students now, and it is therefore impossible for a student to take more time to make a decision on whether or not to purchase the goods. RC freshwoman Barbara Coffman, one winner of Miami accommodations, said she was "impressed" by the goods Harkins presented, but "there was no way" she could afford the merchan- dise. "I think she's in the wrong dorm," Coffman added. Harkins said she usually demon- strates the merchandise in fraternities and apartments instead of dorms. ALTHOUGH SHE said she spends six weeks of the year at Michigan, makes presentations "three times a day, four days a week," and usually obtains a 50 per cent response towards the mer- chandise, none of the East Quad group indicated interest. U "WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?'" Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25 o 'U' students "I can't even picture any U of M student going for this," said Zellis. "She might be better off with a less sophisticated group." Mariac is a division of American Marketing Associates, an Indiana holding company, reported Mariac at- torney Bob Whitinger. The company's other four divisions, he added, are An- drian Industries, Jeanlinn Industries, Petura Corporation, and Nattline, Inc., all, along with Mariac, Inc., named af- ter the children of the company's foun- der and owner, George Douglas. Whitinger added that Mariac, which presently has 28,000 active accounts, reaches college students in 40 states. ACCORDING TO Whitinger, the cookware, "manufactured in such a way that it should last a lifetime," is demonstrated on college campuses because people out of school would like to have such items but cannot afford them. He emphasized the benefits of studen- ts saving money for merchandise like cookware while in college. "When I was in college, I blew a lot of money on pizza and beer. Many students get sick of the dormitory and want an apartment - they can inherit junk from their mother, go to K-Mart, or buy nice things." There are several other companies in the market for college buyers, accor- ding to Whitinger. One of them, American Future Systems, is located in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. CARL WEINBERG, sales promotion manager of American Future Systems, said the company exists "to fill two needs: one is that we've heard from students that they have a real need to learn the information we give at the show, on the consumer education level. Students have wanted to make pur- chases, and this does it in a way that's affordable." Weinberg said the company, which has been in business 20 years, is "larger than the corner deli, but smaller than GM," and covers most of the states. Pete Ingalls, Engineering School sophomore, made a decision to pur- chase goods from American Future Systems at a presentation at Alice Lloyd last year, but has subsequently backed out. "I JUST WROTE them a letter and told them I wasn't going to do it any more -- I decided that I had better ways to spend the money," he said. But he said he hasn't heard from the company since he wrote, and said it never returned the $30 he invested. American Future Systems, like Mariac, Inc., claims to provide at least one participant in the show with a vacation for two. "They were supposed to send me some certificate, but theynever did," he said. Cook had also initially ordered the merchandise, but cancelled his or- der within the three days allowed by law, as did several other Alice Lloyd residents who attended the same party. - A heathen is one who does not believe in the God of the Bible. "When the mists have rolled away, and we know as we are known," It Is the opinion and conviction of the writer that one of the greatest and most devastating and terrible sins of our day and generation will be that of "tampering with the Word of God" by means of translation, especially the changing of Isaiah 7:14 from 'virgin" to "young woman," and its implications! According to this Christ could have been born of most any young woman and male consort! "Know ye not that a little eleven leaveneth the whole lumps" "Hear The Word of The Lord:"This witness, testimony, and warning of God Almighty Himself which is placed near the beginning of His Book in Deut. 4:2: "Ye shall not add unto the words which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of The Lord your God which I command you." "Hear The Word of The Lord," probably the most solemn testimony and warning of all, spoken in the first person by4 Christ Himself In His risen and glorified form right at the end of The Bible: "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this Book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this Book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part of The Book of Life, and out of The Holy City, and from the things which are-written in this Book!" - Revelation 2:18, 19, "Infinite potentates have raged against this Book, and sought to destroy and uproot it - but they nothing prevailed: they are all gone and vanished, while The Book remains, and will remain for ever and ever, perfect and entire, as it was declared at first." - Martin Luther. At this time of the yearwe celebrate the birth of the child of "The Virgin mother, offspring of The Vhrgln's Womb." Is It not important that we be sincere, and not hypocritical? If you do not believe and cannot accept the fact and truth of The Virgin Birth - "Is anything too hard for God"- you have no right or business belonging to a Protestant Christian Church. We do not believe that the truth of the following statement can be refuted: that the Episcopal, the Methodist, The Baptist, The Presbyterian, and maybe some other Denominations, all were founded and developedto their present high place of respect, esteem, and Influence, by men and women who believe the miracle birth of Jesus Christ as announced by The Angel Gabriel, as well as the infallibility of The Scriptures of The Old and New Testaments. Without this faith, whether a man is a bishop or a doorkeeper, he is out of place in a Protestant Christian Church, and to remain In isb mighty good evidence that he has "put. away a good conscience, and made shipwreck of faith," after theexample of the men told about In 1st Timothy 1:19, 20. There is a day of reckoning coming, and it is near! Repent, and bring forth fruit meet for repentance, or resign, and get out. There are other denominations, sects, etc. that will gladly welcome and receive you. And the more you rage against God, and His Anointed, - the better some will like you!
