Standing in line at the grocery store, it is not at all uncommon to see reports of sightings of Elvis everywhere from Switzerland to ShopKo. With Elvis sightings occurring reguit was only a matter of time larly world-widbefore the king of rock n roll appeared on the campus of Westminster College. Students of Thanatology (a psychology class devoted to the study of death and dying) stayed after class (of their own free will) to watch a surprise performance of late rock and roll great Elvis Presley. In the parking lot after his short show several Westminster students stopped to stare at Presley in amazement. One student approached the king and said, Hey, you look familiar. Presley retorted, Yeah, you might have seen me in some of those old westerns, and promptly went into a bad John Wayne impersonation. A group of female students giggled as they passed Presley on their way to class. Touched, Elvis remarked, Ah, some of my loyal fans. ..they used to scream a lot louder though. Actually, the appearance is not so mystical as it would first appear. Shane Elvis Martin was recruited by Kim Thompsen and Jackie Farnsworth as part of their presentation The Nation Mourns: Celebrity Death in the United States for their Thanatology class. The presentation was designed to discuss the societal effects of celebrity death and the implications of mourning in an indirectly-experiencemedia-centere- d world. The effect Elvis Presleys death had on American society was incredibly pervasive in materials researched for the presentation. Thompsen suggested that an appearance by the King might be appropriate, and arrangements were made. Due to unexpected automotive difficulties, Martin was late to the presentation, but students in the class were willing to wait while he set up and sang Heartbreak Hotel. The audience was enthusiastic and screamed appropriately during the performance. When asked by assistant professor of anthropologypsychology Mark Jones when Martin first started impersonating Elvis, he promptly replied Birth. Martin further commented that as early as first grade he used to sing to his classmates. Martin is now a professional Elvis impersonator and performs at all kinds of parties, reunions, dances and weddings. He can have a full band when necessary and has every Elvis song on tape. Martin also will challenge anyone to Elvis trivia and sells black hair dye really cheap. Martin is a local impersonator and his business, Shane Martin as Elvis, can be reached at (801) e, Sub-for-San- ta Peggys making big changes During a recent audit of Westminsters various ff by Jackie Farnsworth Forum staff writer The Grinch Who Tried to Steal Christmas Last week three Westminster students were given citations for "standing in the street" and apparently obstructing 13th East street traffic while participating in fundraisthe Dancing in our Underwear er.
