These two buildings, as most of us know, are to be the administration building, Coltrane Hall; and the Auditorium Fine Arts Building. A total of $325,000 is being raised by the Brevard Chamber of Commerce under the direction of J. P. Porter, director of the expansion program, for the erection of these struc tures. But couldn’t this 'money be put to a better use; namely in the construction of a new men’s dormitory? Since Ross Hall burned in the Spring of 1947, mal? students at Brevard have been living in temporary build ings which are rapidly becoming unlivable and dilapi dated. These temporary buildings are in their second year of use and repairs aire becoming an everyday neces sity. They were poorly and loosely constructed and are not in the least adequate against the weather. Healthy and comfortable living conditions are indispensable in the lives of young students, and are needed if they are expect ed to do their best academic work. True, the college is in dire need of a new administra tion building, and also an auditorium! During the past year, money has been spent remodeling the old librray for use as a business office, registrar’s office, and an office for the director of guid,ance. These offices are a great improvement over previous conditions, but are by no means adequate. They are, however, adequate enough for the time being; at least until the men students are pro vided with a decent place to. live. In the long run, much money and labor will be saved. The amount spent on repairs in the six temporary build ings is steadily mounting and the sooner a permanent building is constructed, the sooner the cost incurred by these repairs will cease. A new, modem building would also greatly improve the appearance of the campus and would be an inducement for prospective students. Mr. Porter and the Brevard Chamber of Commerce are doing a wonderful job of raising the needed funds, but we think it should be used for our greatest need—a new men’s dormitory. oOo Inconsistency For the past few years, there has always been one question asked by Brevard students which has yet to be answered. That is the question of what the rules are gov erning the social privileges of women students. If anything should be carried out strictly consistent at all times, it should be rules. There have been rules printed and distributed governing the men students, so why not the same for the girls? ' The restrictions placed on those girls, who did not attend the chapel program at which Miss Thomas spoke in behalf of the WSSF, is a good example of an ex post facto law and situations such as this should not be allowed to happen again. We stick to a schedule g-round here likg glue—why not so for girls’ rul^? IT^S A FACT?? By LINWOOD ADAMS COUPLE OF THE MONTH N Beneath the dark and cold skies of a typical Brevard winter love seems to be right on taking its victims. This month we have the dope pn a couple that has been running smoothly since the beginning of school. Thye are Colie Robertson and Kathleen Adams. Their names have been condensed to Kat ’n’ Colie. Kat is a sophomore and hails from Bassett, Virginia. She gives the appearance of being the quiet type, but those who have seen her in action know that that is everything but true. Kat is now associate editor of the Pertelote, President of the Commercial Club, a member of the Mnemonsyneans and the Bailar Club. Colie is a freshman and comes to us from Alexandria, Virginia. His activities come under three big headings, playing football, polish ing his ’49 Ford, and courting Kat. The latter keeps him pretty busy. Kat and Colie had their first date on October 7. No,, they didn’t go to a movie; they went to Lees-McRae for the Brevard-Lees-McRae football game. From there, one date led to another and now we have a steady couple. Good luck to the Virginians. • • « NEXT WEEK Now we take the couple up town for an evening of enjoyment. We owe a lot of thanks to those merchants who have contributed to this column. This month they are out again to greet our couple. Varner’s will welcome them with a pair of their notorious banana splits. Austin’s Studio, forever seeking lovesick eyes, will flatten them out and slap them down on a piece of paper. Galloway’s Cafe will treat the two to a meal that would make a dying man sit up and take notice. Whiteway Cleaners will give a suit of each of the couple one of their anti-wrinkle treatments. There’s nothing like a good pressing job to make a physique stand out. Wow!! The male may have his choice of a textilized noose from the Sportsman, the new men’s store with the campus clothes. From Macfie’s Drug Store, the girl may have her choice of a box of stationery. The Smith and Gray Barber Shop is going to give the male a hair-cut and shoe-shine better known as a wool trim and boot wax. Managers Carter and Shiflet of the Co-Ed Theater are going to treat the couple to a good movie. They want our couple to see how the professionals make woo. Popcorn and Cokes will be given by Ford’s Corner, which is con veniently located to the theater. I read an advertisement in an'al manac pertaining to Love Drops, which, they say, pep up a romance. If a^ need for these arises they will be purchased and presented to the romantineers. • * • SCENTS AND NONSENSE Men can get along with men but cannot get along with women. Women can get along with neither men nor women. College students are like a river. They can be seen plainly until they mix with an ocean of their kind. Teachers blow off steam to prevent themselves from exploding. A joke is a group of word which a teacher utters before breaking into a hearty laugh. A date is the companionship of a boy and girl in a large group which is adequately chaperoned. A disk-jockey is a farmer who rides in the seat of a horse-drawn disk-harrow. You can lead a student to class but you can’t make him stay awake. The purpose of a bell is to awaken students at the end of class periods. Here’s how to win a girl. Take a double handful of snow, press it firmly into a round ball, and knock the girl in the head with it. She’ll love you for it. The english languige is a wondiful languige if putt in to corect use. Studie hard so that you ma be abel to make it the butifull lan guige it is. Life is tragic, one dam thing after the other. Love is even more tragic, two dam things after each other. Churches Hear (Continued From Page One) Fig; Jack Prince, Kings Mountain; and Bob Davis, Gastonia. Ann Smith, of Brevard, was the pianist. J. P. Porter, director of the Brevard college expansion pro gram, preached the evening ser mon at Morning Star Methodist church. Canton, on the topic, “Power to Live.” Students accom panying Mr. Porter were Betsy Ross, Pleasant Gardens; Eleanor Grr, Charlotte; Max Warlick, Ral eigh; Jerry Crawford, Greensboro; and Lou Hamrick, Forest City, pianist. As an anthem, this quartet rendered “Glory to the King of Kings,” and Betsy Ross sang “Someone Had Prayed” for the of- fetory. These young men and women will conduct the Youth Fellowship program and recreational period, also, Mr. Porter announced. In commenting on the worth of these guest appearances in the churches throughout this section. President Coltrane said: “Brevard college has a large number of students interested in religious music. These students plan, after graduation, to sing in church choirs, direct choirs, or be leaders of religious singing on var ious occasions. Some of them plan lives of full time Christian service. The college is cooperating with the churches in giving these stu dents experience while being 9i service to the churches.” ^
