HEARTS
Harvest time brings many a ro
mance someone said (’Tis a classi
cal qiibtation?) One of the first
signs of harvest time, then would
be MARY JANE KORNEGAY and
MACK LASSITER. They are really
a fine couple—as are their double
daters, ELLEN FAULKNER and
KENNY DAVIS. JOHN RAN
DALL h£is found a cute match in
the person of NORMA JEAN WIL
LIAMS .... JOE JACK WELLS
and JOAN GAMBLE have begun
what may well be a fine romance.

SPADES
No spades are necessary to res-

The extent of damage is really
not so bad as some N. C. news
papers represented it. CECIL
WILKERSON reported that he
got a ’phone call from his mother
asking about the ‘‘razing of the
administration building,” of which
she had read in the Greensboro
RECORD. (How could you* Edi-'

All is well—or reasonably so. The
first floor was water-soaked and,

are confident that time will cure
all!

COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT: A
session of mourning (each morning)

which have lost their lives for the
old flagpole. Amid cries of “Ehl

been uprooted. We echo the call,
“Ehlhardt, spare that tree” for
the triplet of the ground!

ent Dunham Hall is closed, con
demned by local authorities until
the necessary safety measured have
been put into effect.
FIRES; CAUSE College
; , HEAVY LOSS
Although early reports circulat
ed in.some sections of the stiate
exaggerated the * damage done to
Dunham hall by the recent fires,
actual danlage was heavy. Directly
and indirectly the fires have
thrown a severe strain upon the
resources bf the college. Making
the sturdy old building conform
to present-day building codes will
require Work in areas not serious
ly affected by the flames. Even in
the heavily damaged areas in
surance will not cover the com
plete cost of the necessary recon-
ditiohing.
The greatest single item of un
insured expense will be the com
plete rewiring of the hall. Evi
dent and concealed damage on the
lower levels was heavy. Replace
ment necessary to safety will re
quire extensive retimbering and
reflooring. One at least, possibly
both, of the stairways leading in
to the basement will have to be
replaced.
Of the two fires, the first was
unofficially attributed to spontane
ous ignition of materials used in-,
the now-delayed redecoration of
the building. The second con
tinues unexplained. Both attacked
approximately the same area.
Both acted to ignite the stairway
leading into the basement of the
south wing; both burned in the cor
ridor adjoining the biology storage
room and, somewhat less severe
ly, the adjoining storage room,
known as ‘the old book store.”
Together the fires ate through
basement ceilings and did heavy
damage to the timber beams sup
porting the floors of Room 3, next
to the west portico, and to the ad-
acent hallways. Lateral spread of
the flames was checked by efficient
firemanship and by the brick
cross-walls which trisect the base
ment of the building.
An unexplained difference of
draft carried a heavy concentra
tion of smoke-laden fumes from
the second fire into, the newly-
decorated auditorium, so that this
room, completely spared by the
first fire, was considerably streak
ed by the second. Water damage
was heavy, but was restricted, in
the main, to the basement of the
south wing. Above the first floor
the only evident damage is some
general discoloration by smoke.
No one was injured in either
fire. Apart from the college, the
only heavy loser was Mrs. Mary
Gladys Lobdell, instructor in
biology, who suffered the almost
complete destruction of specimens
and other teaching materials. Mrs.
Lobdell’s laboratory and lecture
room across the hall appears to
be unhurt.
FACULTY and students: We want
support on our hayride (to be).
We need the cash, and that ain’t
hay! We promise a good time for
all; how about it?
Baptists Hear Dr.
Loomis At Service
“To the development of civili
zation faith is. now and will con
tinue to be more important than
gadgets,” Burt W. lx)omis, profes
sor of psychology and education
said on Sunday, October iZ9th, ad
dressing the First Baptist church
of Brevard on the subject “Faith
and Freedom.”
The Brevard college educator
regularly teaches the Men’s Class
in the Sunday School of the Bre-
vkrd Methodist Church. In speak
ing to the Baptist congregation :
last Sunday morning he develop-;
ed his iremarks around the ringing!
of the Freedom Bell in Berlin on j
October 24th. |
As Jesus said that the year ofj
the Lord would come when his|
ideas were accepted,” Dr. Loomis
stressed, “so Freedom with all its
economic and social blessings will
come behind the Iron Curtain
when the Russian people have been
led to acceptance of Christian ideas j
and Christian faith.” ;
Dr. Loomis took issue with the;
materialistic position that mass-]
produced “gadgets” alone can;
be trusted to break the barriers^
between peoples. “Through the last;'
century we have had gadgets in;
plenty,” he said, “but boundaries,
continue to exist. The conflict as
between ideas.”
Material progress itself, he;
showed, is best fostered by “thej
generative power of freedom.;
Freedom is first of all an idea. Fur-^
thermore, freedom is an idea that
flourishes only when men as
dividuals have infinite value
Western culture this valuation
the individual makes democracy
possible. That the individual hu
man being has infinite value is a
Christian idea.”
In introducing Dr. Loomis, the
Rev. B. W. Thomason expressed for
the First Baptist congregation ap
preciation of what, in the person
of Dr; Loomis, his associates, and
their students, Brevard college
means to the city of Brevard and
to Transylvania county.

for the heroic action of these and
possible other students who help
ed on Friday and on Sunday.
“They,”he said, “have rendered
all of us invaluable service in
helping to preserve our tools.”
Through the night and the ear
ly hours of Monday students kept
fire watch in teams of two. On
Monday the building was declared
no longer to be in danger.
