Brevard College, Brevard, North Carolina, October 30, , 1936. rage 2 “So What Getting out this paper is no Kaleidoscope Human Interest Comment Events By Odell Salmon THE CLARION Brevard College Weekly MEMBER OF NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATION Editorial Odell Salmon Editor Evelyn Swaringeii Associate Editor Monk Landreth Front Page Editor Sturgis May Sports Editor Staff Columas: Betty Brookshire, Satenik Na- hikian, Geraldine De Vier, Irene Parsons.

But it isn’t so bad, provided that a good thing can be done immensely better. Cheer ing at the Tornado’s football games has been helpful, and spontaneous, and from the spot in the heart where the blood gets the warmest as the boys begin a desperate drive. But this cheering can be better. We kiiow, because we have seen political rallies staged by the stu dents. We have heard the roof crackle as the yells went up in a burst of thunder. The cheer-leaders are diligent workers; their organization is good; their spirit is the acme of enthusiasm. And the cheering groups are good; but the follow ing are some suggestions that will be a great aid to the team and to the fame of Brevard Col lege. 1. Arrange to get to the sta dium at least fifteen minutes be fore the game. (At the last home game there were only fifty people in the stands when the kick-off came, yet they were there four minutes later. Almost a multitude was there, but too late.) 2. Cooperate with the cheer leaders. Follow their signs and yell together. 3. Put a little more punch in that yell, and give the throat a good work-out. For You Last week the sports editor and the news editor of the cLABioN attended the North Car olina Collegiate Press Conven tion which met at the Hotel Charlotte in Charlotte. These gentlemen went to pre pare themselves more adequate- picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly; If we don’t, they say we are too serious. If we clip from other papers. We are too lazy to write it down ourselves; If we don’t, we are struck on our stuff. If we stick close to our job all day, We ought to be on the job in the office. If we don’t print contributions. We don’t appreciate true ge nius. If we do, the paper is fillec with junk. If we make a change in a fel low’s write-up. We are too critical; If we don’t, we are asleep. Now, like as not someone will say We swiped this from some other paper. WE DID! (The warrior) Progressive Service Each literary society on the campus thinks that it is best. The members probably boast of the superiority of the society to which he or she belongs. The soci" ety is an organization to which all members are loyal vocally. Last Saturday night the Mne- mosynean Literary Society prov ed that it is progressive in the line that a society should follow. That night was the big night for many freshman girls and an important night for all sophomore members. About fifty girls were taken into the society in a most impressive service which was conducted before a small, choice audience in the college auditorium at ten o’clock. The poetry and music that was used in the ceremony was written last year by members of that group; both are of a higher liter ary type than the average college student writes. This initiation service should forever be a part of that society, regardless of what modifications are made. It is classic, poetic, and inspirational. It is an accom plishment that no Ather society has neared. ly to give the readers of this newspaper a better sports page and to furnish a better news section. What they accomplish ed was for the good of you who read the sections of this paper other than the dirt column. THE PAPER YOU WANT Perhaps the first thing that this writer learned about the school publication is good advice. Our class was told that the most popular paper is the paper that carries the most students’ names— provided that the remarks con cerning such students are favor able. Every one has some vanity. Certainly, every one wants other people to know that he is a- round, especially if he is do ing something, even if it is not more than getting on a com mit- tee, winning a minor office, or attending some social function. But these are all worthy of mention in the college journal. NOT BAD Miss Smith knows more than Sophomore English, Greek myths, dramatics, and how to be a dean of girls. If you want some proof, just look at the fiovrer baside her table in her office. A stem was broken; but instead of letting it die gradually, she repaired it with adhesive tape. Today you can’t tell the difference. OFF-MOMENT THOUGHTS The average boy has about seventeen buttons on the cloth ing that he wears every school day. When he steps out at night or on the week end, he has the added number on the vest and c^at. Should tlie tie be left off, there is one less button; but if the tie is worn with the button collar shirt, there is the added obligation of three but tons. SO THEY SAY Cap Hyatt: (While roomie was singing to the music of the radio) Let’s listen to the i-adio. Virginia Hunter: rf'you heard that from a dirj;y little boy in the street, don’t tell it to me. Grover Boyd: Don’t die a Democrat. JUST THOUGTHS More studying is done at assem bly period than at any other period during the day.... Dr. Loomis rarely views the balcony audience when he is speaking... Brevard will take Belmont with a margin of seven points, and captain Edwards will be the hardest tackier on the field.... It is fine to have pictures in the room but difficult to keep them dusted. Having two class flow ers is like having two crushes in the same school—it’s a good thing, but it won’t work. MARRIAGE AGE Educators tell us that we are postponing marriage. Our grand parents married when they were eighteen or twenty. Our parents averaged twenty or twenty-two when they went to the altar. Now lovers think that the mat ter can be kept open until they are twenty-four or twenty-five. Most of us will-according to the law of averages (although they say that there is no law in love)- not take a mate until we are twenty-six or twenty-seven. There is no law of averages for those girls who insist on being old maids, and a lot of things that begin in college end as they began. HOME-COMING This is home-coming week-end. Tonight alumni will begin to re turn for the entire program of to morrow. There will be a large number who cannot come, for they are meeting classes in other schools; but there will be a large number here regardless. This will be a happy week-end. The campus will be astir; things will be happening. There will be dynamic, magnetic personalities here once more to make a cele bration as all join to swap yarns, do some handshaking, and sit side by side to root for Alma Ma ter when the boys furnish the spectacle of the day in their foot ball game with Belmont Abbey. Football Dictionary Delayed buck— One lent to a friend. Backward pass — A “D”av- erage. Goal— Color of setting sun. Quarterback —Man on his way to home. Touchdown — Bend over. Wide sweep — Big broom. Single wingback -- Deformed buzzard. —Junior Collegiate. “How little does politics affect the life, th amoral life of a nation. One single good book influences the people a vast deal more.” — Gladstone.
