This show titled, ""Elon in Review"" was hosted by Bob Anderson, Director of College Planning, Elon College in 1984. Anderson interviewed Dr. Carole Chase from the Elon College Religion Department. Chase's special guest was Madeleine L'Engle (currently at this taping " 28 books were in print " by L"Engle, the author). Chase was teaching an evening course on Madeleine L'Engle works. Chase discussed what she discovered by reading L'Engle's books. Chase and L'Engle wrote letters back and forth about doing an interview together. Chase was able to do an interview with L'Engle in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Chase taught an Elon College spring course on L'Engle writings. During the program, there were pre-produced classrooms sound-bites from Chase's students. L'Engle answered questions on her various books that included: Wrinkle in Time; Wind at the Door; and Waling on Water. L"Engle compared C.S. Lewis vs. her own writing styles. She discussed how writing a story came to play. L"Engle enjoyed daily journal writing and advised young writers to do so, as well. In addition, L'Engle stated to be a great writer: one must read; journal every day; and write as though it was play and work. Chase asked L'Engle about writing books (in the 1980"s) from four letter words to sex for the publisher. L'Engle stated to write about the emotions and not the graphic actions. L"Engle provided examples of such writings. L"Engle commented on Geraldine A. Ferraro as a 1984 Democratic Vice President candidate. L"Engle discussed her marriage to an actor (from All My Children " who played Dr. Charles Tyler (real name Hugh Hale Franklin). L'Engle spoke about the Christian cold hearts and being judgmental. She continued to state that her living belief was of the awareness of the world and greater things. "The "good news" is for everybody, you don't keep the good news inside, but rather, only give "good news" through love rather than suspicion," stated L"Engle. Chase concluded her interview by concentrating on the five L'Engle books that has been enriching for 16 Elon College students during the Elon College course. A graphic appeared stating ""The interview with Madeleine L'Engle in copywrited by Ms. L'Engle."
