Marriage encounter plann Couples in Iceland will have the 'opportunity to enrich their marriage and improve their communication Dec. 28 through Dec. 30. This experience, called Marriage Encounter, will be held at Hlidardal- sskoli, a Seventh Day Adventist School at Hlidardalur near Hveragerdi. The special team priest will be Brigadier General T. T. Thielen. Chaplain Thielen was also the team priest for the first Marriage En- counter weekend held in July at Skaholt. Paul Claudel, the French poet, once wrote, "God writes straight with crooked lines." Seemingly insignificant things may have an important impact on the lives of many people. Such was the case in 1952 when Father Gabriel Calvo, a Spanish priest, met with couples who came to him, seeking help in finding how to serve God and others as a couple. That meeting helped Father Calvo sense the need for husbands and wives to deepen their own relationship to realize the tremendous apostolic potential that is present in every Christian marriage. Encuentro Conyugal The first "Encuentro Conyugal" was held and subsequently came to the United States at the Christian Family Movement conference at Notre Dame in 1967. From that weekend, Marriage Encounter in the United States had its beginning. The Marriage Encounter experience is designed to give couples the opportun- ity to examine their lives together by looking at the strong points and weak- nesses, their attitudes, desires, am- bitions, disappointments, joys and frustrations. They do so openly and honestly in a Christ-like, face-to-face, heart-to-heart "encounter" with the one person they have chosen to live with for the rest of their lives. The word "encounter" may be mis- leading. It actually is derived from Bingo, slots IRS winner reports changed The Department of the Navy Comptrol- ler has issued a new ruling for report- ing slot machine and bingo winnings to the Internal Revenue Service. Formerly, the open messes and cus- todians of slot machines were required to report persons who had aggregate winnings of $600 or more in a calendar year. The new ruling eliminates the need for this reporting and states that only persons whose one game winnings are $1,200 or more are to be reported. Since the maximum one-game winning on slot machines is $75, this means that slot machine winnings will no longer be reported to IRS. Only single bingo games which pay $1,200 or more will be reported. Liaison by the Chief of Naval Person- nel with IRS has revealed, however, that aggregate winnings over $600 during the period Jan. 1 to April 30, 1977 must be reported. Slot and bingo winners should remem- ber that all winnings are taxable in- come and that it is the individual win- ner's responsibility to report them to IRS. Gen Secretary eral of Defense Heart attack victim James reassigned Harold Brown cent leave since then.^^ announced last week that President Carter has approved the reassignment of General Daniel James Jr., Commander-In- Chief of the North American Air Defense Command, to Washington, DC, effective Tuesday. A successor has not yet been named. General James suffered a mild heart attack in mid-September and entered the U.S. Air Force Academy Hospital at Colorado Springs, CO. He left the hos- pital Nov. 3 and has been on convales- The assignment of General James to Washington will allow for a follow-on convalescent period and further medical evaluation before his retirement. During this period, he will be tem- porarily designated as Special Assis- tant to the Chief of Staff, United States Air Force, in an outpatient status from the Malcolm Grow United States Air Force Medical Center at Andrews Air Force Base, MD. General James has commanded NORAD since Sept. 1, 1975. TOURS & TRAVEL By Nancy Walker The Tour Office is now booking tours to Mallorca. If you are interested, contact the Tour Office at 4200. Mallorca Mallorca, with its 185-mile coast- line, is the largest and one of the most beautiful of the Mediterranean islands. Mallorca's white sand beaches, quaint little harbors and romantic mountain villages act as hosts to about a million visitors yearly. Exploring the island Although the island's vast array of scenery is the main attraction to Mal- lorca, there are several places of his- torical value that every visitor will want to see: 1. The Cathedral was begun in 1230 by the Conqueror of Aragon and took several centuries to complete. Over- looking the harbor in Palma, the beautiful stained glass windows are particularly impressive at sundown. 2. Bellver Castle, once home of the kings of Mallorca, was erected in the 14th century. In Bellver Castle is the Municipal Museum, which is devoted to archaeological relics, old coins and cameos. 3. La Lonja, a 15th century struc- ture which was once an exchange or trade center, now houses the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts. 4. El Pueblo Espanol is a museum constructed in the likeness of the a Spanish word meaning "discovery" so that Marriage Encounter is inviting couples to discover their spouse in a new way. Avoiding distractions The couples making a Marriage En- counter spend a weekend away from the distractions of everyday life. They are encouraged to put aside jobs, children, friends and concentrate on talking deeply with one another. Babysitting is provided by other couples who have already experienced the weekend so that this area of concern may be lessened. The emphasis of the Marriage Encoun- ter is on communication between husband and wife at the "feeling level." The weekend experience is not designed for problem-solving, rather as an explora- tion of each other's feelings to com- municate and understand one another better. The couple actually ' give the week- end to each other. It is strictly a private weekend between husband and wife. It is not a group dynamics or sensitivity session. The only time couples are encouraged to share with the group is on Friday evening when they introduce themselves. Marriage Encounter in Iceland is affiliated with the National Marriage Encounter, a Judaic-Christian movement which is open to couples of all faiths. The encounter is not designed to strengthen faith, although frequently it does. Rather, it is for couples to go more deeply into the meaning of their lives together. Need for examination There is a need for and a desire by married couples today to examine the meaning and presence of God in their individual and married lives. The National Marriage Encounter philosophy and structure enables couples to ap- preciate more fully the presence of God in their lives. Many followup and support programs exist for couples striving to live out the Marriage Encounter concept. These include rap sessions, sharing groups and circles, images, scripture sharing and anniversary weekends. Marriage Encounter key couples are as follows Ray and Eileen Andrieu 2150; Terry and Paula Boyer 7437; and John and Jodie Windbigler 4462. Another information night will be held at the NATO base Chapel at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Spanish Village in Montjuich Park, Barcelona. It is actually a whole village, with sunny plazas and cobble stoned streets, where each building represents a province of Spain. The village has restaurants, bars, shows and shops. Local craftsmen, such as the guitar maker, work in full view of passers by. The best Flamenco showcases in Mallorca may be seen in the village. 5. Cortijo Vista Verde, a school for bullfighters, is probably one of the most unique tourist attractions around. Here you will see the El Cordobes of tomorrow; arid, if you are brave enough, you can test your skill against a year old bull. Icelandic Symphony Orchestra The last 1977 performance of the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra will be held Dec. 15 at the Haskolabio in Rey- kjavik at 8:30 p.m. J. P. Jacquillat will lead the or- chestra in selections from Mozart, Sveinnsson and DeFalla. Fobert Aitken will be the guest artist for the evening. Tickets will be on sale at the Tour Office from Monday until Dec. 9. Londour'Christmas tour canceled The London tour, tentatively sched- uled for Dec. 20 through Dec. 27, has been canceled. Any inquiries should be made to the Tour Office at 4200. A. T. Mahan Honor roll students A list of outstanding scholars and exceptional scholars at the A.T.
