Campus Elections
With the coming of campus elections next week, we
should all make an honest endeavor to give this matter a
great deal of thought. Electing leaders to guide us through
the next college year is a serious proposition, and no one
can deny that fact. Many, if-not every one, of you will say,
“I’ve heard this same speech ever since I have been voting
for school officers in the grammar grades.” True, all of
us have heard it, but repetition makes a more vivid impres
sion. Nevertheless, it remains that some few need a word
of advice before casting their ballots on any question.
How often do we giripe about what this organization
or that staff or some other club is doing? How often are
we justified in these criticisms? Unless we think seriously
and open-mindedly on these elections, we have no right
to open our mouths in a word of destructive criticism. Of
course, suggestions of a constructive nature will always
be accepted by any democratic government, whether it be
for the nation or for a junior college campus. Vote for the
man or woman whom you honestly think best suited for
the job; and then if he doesn’t comply with what yoji
thought he would do, it’s your duty, to tell him, in a polite
and friendly way, of course, what you think he should in
clude in his program of business.
Students, let us think the matter through completely
and thoroughly. Then cast your ballots accordingly. We
want to have more active and well-trained officers on this
campus next year than any who have been here since the
founding of Brevard college in 1934. That’s a record to
beat, but with our present material to select from, we can
do it.
But, above all, get out and vote. It doesn’t cost any
thing here!
Shame On You!!
By The Editor
PICK YOUR MAN

personal feelings influence your vote. May the best man win!

What’s Your
Opinion?
By FRANCES SLOOP
Since the newly-organized Student-Facu.lty committee
for the beautification of the Brevard campus asked for co
operation in achieving this aim, the following people have
been observed either walking on the grass or otherwise
not complying with the requests of this committee.
Jo Brumsey, Reid Prillaman, Harry Hill, Bill Ervin, Mrs.
Scroggs, Mary Ellen Copeland, Lou Hamrick, Bob Watson,
Harris Johnson, Jim Underwood, Glenn Davis, Bill Up
church, Jack Prince, Robert Rankin, Alston Wilkes, Ray
Cheek, John McIntyre, Mary Margaret Graybeal, John T.
Jones, Ralph Kayler, Don Helms, Mr. Livengood (twice),
John McKissick, Mike Haddock, Johnny Miles, “Bateye”
Taylor, Bill Joyce, Bob Moore, Paul Robbins, Beverly
Schaede, Norman Huff, Lewis Swain, Charles Chapman,
Charles Blackwelder, Leonard Ellis, Charlie Freeman,
John Mclnnis, Poncho Hicks, Miss Buckner, Mahota Ran
kin, Ann Smith, and John Whitmire.^ P. S. Joe Adams
threw a cigarette out of the Clarion window.
These people aren’t the only ones wjio have inadvert
ently been desecrating the campus—^there are many more.
But to these aiid anjr otbejfs, we say SKAMi ON TQU!!
What do you think could be
done to improve the appearance
of the buildings and grounds?
Jack Tucker: “A little coopera
tion on the part of the students,
including myself, in keeping the
grounds clean and keeping in the
back of our minds that we wouldn’t
do it at home.”
Fuller Chaffee: “I think more
flowers on the campus would add
to its beauty. We also need the
cooperation of students in not
breaking the flowers and shrub
bery once they have been planted.”
Bob Parlier: “We should be just
as careful about keeping paper off
the campus as keeping it off our
lawn at home.”
Lena Walling: “Everybody do
his share of picking up the pa
per.”
Jim Underwood: “The grounds,
of course, would look better if pa
per, etc., were not strewn over
them. It might be a good idea to
put some trash cans in conspicu
ous places along the walks. The
buildings need better janitor serv
ice.”
Michael Haddock: “They ought
to plant some grass where there
isn’t any and put more walks. It’s
better to walk on the grass rather
than in the mud.”
David Rogers: “Stay off the
grass. Get people to sign a state
ment that they won’t walk on it.
Then, if they do, fine them.”
Glenna Higgins: “I think they
ought to make more walks so we
won’t be, tempted to take short
cuts across the grass. The wood--
work oh the outside of the build
ings should be painted.”
Betsy lawman: “I think the stu
dents could cooperate in keeping
the trash off the grounds and in
using the walks instead of‘cutting
across the grass.”
Sidney Cunia: “Do you throw
paper on the' ground at home?”
Margaret Jean co>
optratiag witti th#
Mary Duke seems to be lagging
3 little now. Where are all those
boy friends, Duke?
Ralph Kayler and Jim White are
having a little trouble with their
girl friends. You don’t suppose
those nurses are mending sick
hearts in Charlotte, do you?
The question is: Are they in
love, or just sleepy? Bob Moore
and Lib Latham have had that
look in their eyes.
Notice: No firearms are to be
used during election campaigns.
Betsy R. and Ann M. should flip
a coin to see whose boy friend the
sailor is.
Don’t give up hope, Barbara.
That’s aU; just don’t give up hope.
Isis, who’s that you have your
eye on now? Ah, what a lucky
rascal!
Just one word to Nick Nichols:
“Brother, you’re falling.” You
ain’t by yourself, thoi^gh; what say,
Sarah?
Why doesn’t Joe take an inter
est in girls on campus? Could it be
Linwood likes the town variety
better, or is there a girl back
home?
Six Candidates
(Continued From Page One)
phonso Hicks were nominated for
the office of business manager of
the Clarion. '
Elections will be held sometime
next week, according to Claude
Hicks, retiring president, and will
be by secret ballot. If run-offs
are necessary, they will be held
each succeeding day until a win
ner is chosen for each office.
The number of (-candidates for
the seven offices this year is ex
tremely large in contrast to for
mer years. Last year only 13 stu
dents were nominated for the
same offices and only one run-off,
that in the presidential race, was
necessary.
