Page 2 Brevard Cdlfgt', Brevard. North Carolina, February 26. 1937. COMMENT By Odpll Salmcn Off-Sides Thursday night of last week an incident occurred that should not occur in a small college. Two .major extra-cur- iricular ev e n t s, ithe annual intra- I society ba s k e t- iball game and a I debate, were con* Iducted feo that {they w^re in di- Irect conflict. B6t,h events were in line with literary worki one was sponsored, directed, and performed entirely ^ by members of all four societies. The othefc was not under the auspices of the societies] 'but debating is a project of the societies. Even the :R)llowing ftight one society had a debate. The debaters are Society riiembeTst? Developing the iart of speaking, debating, and intelligent listening are prime factors of the literary society. ' In the first place, the society officials, especially those on the athletic committees, should not have scheduled this ' game on a night which, had been filled-by another function, especially sk. debate. In a small school it is unf^ii’-tp jSchedyle conflicting ayejits yi^hen it is evident that the last scheduled affair will draw the mass from the other event. Only a small portion of the student body will attend a de bate,, yet it should be the duty of the societies to encourage de bating. They have. But this interference turned the tables. , We fire ihcline(| to believe that there should not be ja recurrence of,^ch. , , R. S. Y. P. In the Library a few days ago Margaret Wilson left a notebook at one of the tables while she at tended a class. On the cover in Ikrge writing were the letters R. S. V. P. We know this to mean “Respond, if you please. ” Margaret could; mean several things (or nothing at all) by writing these formal letters on her note book. Yet it is best to think that she meant the o wner would like to have the book re turned in case she lost it. Foot-Note ■ Why should some people be so busy that they never have time to do all that they eagerly de sire to do and others never have anything to do except gripe for something to do? So They Say , W. R.

Thousafids of people were ea ger to hear the trial of this be loved man who wrote the immo!"- tal poern, “The ' Man With A Hoe.” But 6hly a small group we!re able to get into the little court house, and throughoutthey da^ierly had their eyes directed to a man they undoubtedly loved and honored. Thfe trial proce&ded, during which M/^ Markham appeared not to have an 1 nterest beyond apparently scribbling on a paper. Many, many times the court beg ged to see that paper, for they thought that famous man was writing a poem. Yet when that paper was produced, it was blank. As the old man walked from the court-house, he mumbled to himself the most famous lines ever written about the mi.ri who has become aged and worn by honest toil and service. Pictures in Vogue For the past three weeks one has noticed many pictures pass ing from band to hand at £he dining table, on the campus, or in the class room. Most of these picjbures made in the dormi- jtory rooms i . f, ^ . I This gives a true insight into jcollege life, for in most pictures jare views of books, magazines, 'and pictures found in the,college student’s room. Too, this shows an interest., in in the art of photography. Pos sibly the Photo-Nature Club has ■inculcated a taste for this remark able. practice in those who like photography and can afford the cost of it as a hobby.
