Coltrane Asks
Students Support
For Coach’s Pay
In a chapel addiress early this
week Dr. Coltrane, president of
the college, made known the fact
that money allowed by the board
of trustees to the college for ath
letic activities was a little short
to meet the circumstances that
exist concerning the football team.
The board gave Coach Alexander
a specific amount of money with
which to hire an assistant that
would help improve the Tornado
squad. The money allotted is al
most gone it was found, but Dr.
Coltrane urged that the student
body do something to prevent the
college from having to let coach
Swicegood go.
Dr. Coltrane presented the prob
lem to the students in a combin
ed chapel program and asked for
suggestions as how money could
be raised to meet the need. After
much discussion, it was decided
that each student and each mem
ber of the faculty would contrib
ute one dollar.
Contributions are being collect
ed by members of the house coun
cils and Mrs. Holmes in the dean’s
outer office. Contributors will be
given a receipt and a record will
be kept.
Dr. Coltrane urged that all mem
bers of the student body and fac
ulty support I'this worthy cause
which will prove that we are be
hind our football team to the limit.
“We hope we will soon reach the
100% mark,” Dr. Coltrane con
tinued.

vices. Dr. Blackard spoke on the

portant church meeting at which

Large Number Of Alumni
Expected To Return To
The Campus
Brevard college’s 15th annual
homecoming week-end is expected
to be celebrated by many partici
pants this year. Two top-flight
teams will meet in the homecom
ing football game Saturday night
to afford the main attraction of
the day. Today’s few arrivals and
tomorrow’s droves of alumni are
being greeted and directed and to
lodgings by a delegation of stu
dents.
With Saturday afternoon classes
being omitted, action for the week
end will begin with an organ re
cital in the auditorium of Dunham
Hall at three o’clock. At four, an
informal tea and reception will
be given in the James Addison
Jones Memorial Library. Follow
ing the reception, a tea dance will
be given in West Hall which will
last until five and round out the
afternoon’s entertainment.
Two of Western North Carolina’s
top teams will clash Saturday
night when the Brevard Torna
does and the Bulldogs of Gardner-
Webb meet on the lighted high
school field. Having won two games,
lost three and tied one, the Bre
vard “twisters” expect a good fight
from the “Bubblin’ Tech” foot
ballers of Boiling Springs. The
game with Gardner-Webb places
Brevard about halfway through
her^ number of conference games
for the season. A large turnout
of shouting spectators is expected
for the contest.
Immediately following the foot
ball game, the annual homecom
ing dance, with music by Bob Da
vis and his orchestra, is to be held
in the college gymnasium. Featur
ing the mellow tones of Bob Da
vis’ saxophone and songs by Lois
Stratton, Jack Prince, and the Kam-
pus Kut-ups, the Davis ensemble
is expected to be a fine attrac
tion.

Troy Barrett
Visits Campus
Troy Barrett, for two years head
cheerleader . at Duke University,
added to the pep and school spir
it at the game last Thursday night.
He helped our cheerleajders at
the game, introduced new yells
and motions, and aided in making
the crowd more enthusiastic.
Even though Brevard lost, the
crowd left the field full of pep
and good spirits, and a large num
ber of students went down to the
basement of West Hall to a dance
conducted by Troy. The activities
consisted chiefly of square danc
ing, but there was also some round
dancing. During the square dan
ces, Troy called most of the steps
and introduced some steps which
were new to most of the students.
