OCTOBER, 1956 PAGE FOUR THE CLARION Brevard Sports Probably no one was as pleasant ly surprised at the beginning of school as was Coach Leighton Mar tin. Looking around, he found jthat all twelve of the freshmen mem bers of last year’s varsity had re turned for their second year at Brevard. Back to wear the Blue and White in the basketball wars were: Forwards Bruce Guy, Jerry Haas, Ross Wingo, and Bob Sims; Centers Munsey Millaway and Tom Higgins; Guards Jim Ingle, Vance Link, David Cudd, Steve Mitchell, and Mickey Beam. In the 1955-56 season Brevard finished second in the Western Carolinas Junior College Athletic conference basketball standings. Powerful North Greenville, the na tion’s fourth ranked team in jun ior college basketball, was first, finishing the season undefeated in conference play. Considering how far the inexperienced Toradoes of last year went with only two return ees from the 1954-55 squad, one wonders just how far this year’s team can go with a dozen men back and a group of promising freshmen on hand. Coach .Martin, in his first year at Brevard last year, proved him self to be a shrewd and able lead er with the ability to make the most of the material he has on hand. This year, B’vard has the ma terial. We eagerly look forward to the period around Dec. 1, when we will meet the B’vard College Tor nadoes formally.

From the titilative ‘‘Chaconne”, Mr. Ford moved into the somber melancholy of Liszt’s “FuneraiUes”, overwhelming his audience with a powerful and im passioned interpretation. Seemly intent upon continually amazing his heterogeneous audience, the tall young man next displayed two original compositions amid ripples of excited approval. In these he de picted a satire on a realization of a prelude by Bach in the style of Prokofieff circa 1912 and a pseudo transcription of a Bach fugue in a style reminiscent of Liszt-Busoni. Accompanied by Mrs. Louise Mil ler, Mr. Ford next presented his final and most moving piece: “To- tentanz”. Originally composed as a Roman Catholic Requiem Mass, this piece, as interpreted by Mr. Ford, yet retains the power to transform and elevate the emo tions. The solemnity and the pomp, as incompatible as life and death, comibined to ask the heart that age old question, from which the only safe refuge is Montaigne’s well put question of “What know I?”.

Kearns “Your Campus Grocery” Open Evenings and Sunday Matriarchy From the time of embryogenetic development until death has brought darkness to our yemjjng eves we seek and openly solicit motllerly approval. Thi^s .desire is universal, but has attained quintessence of consumation only in the United States of America. In this country only, has matriarchy so firmly entrenched itself in the economical, political, and socia life of a people. American youths begin their search for “a girl just like mom simultaneously with the donning of their first peg-pants their first Hollywood haircut, and the adornment of their first pimp- less face with the Rock Hudson ex pression of complacent superiority. They later marry this Cinderella and promptly lead her into a new home furnished with so many elec trical devices that she may wash dishes, curl her hair, and watch television while washing the clothes her husband will hang on the line. She does no work, is af raid to have babies, and her in sipid personality does not allow her the pursuit of intellectual en deavors. What does she do for amusement? She buys only bread which is wrapped in pinks and blues, speaks only in euphemisms, votes only for the candidates with sex appeal, and further experi ments with her favorite pets — the cat, dog, and man. She pads her breast with artificial contrap tions, wears dresses specifically de signed to create a false impres sion, wear stockings to hide the complexion of her leg and high heel shoes to compliment her an kle. She invariably turns the light down low, not to soften the affect, but to hide the hideous lines which might be discovered on so close i scrutiny. She is an emotional ani mal not intended for intellectual aspirations; yet she has forced her way into every American college where she does nothing but dis tract. She receives her spouse’s paycheck unopened and buys his shirts as she doe her dog’s. With the balance of this paycheck, she has a thousand scientists working around the clock in order that she might go on living long after she serves any logical purpose, and is now engaged in telling man he is inferior to her. The isurance com panies, in order to placate the buy ing power of America, have as sured her that she is correct in this assumption and have in turn raised our premiums. It behooves every red-blooded American man, therefore, to join with me in this most critical of campaigns: to exterminate all wo- That Hidden Car College Students!

It has four wheels, the revolution of which are determined by the de pression or recession of the accel erator. The depression and reces sion of this accelerator is deter mined in kind by the amount of pressure exerted by a very large foot, which is connected at a 180 degree angle to a usually very skinny leg. This skinny leg is con nected to the trunk of the body, whose predominant feature invar iably is a huge bay window. Now, there sitting atop this glorious at tribute of nature is a head. Scien tists tell us that this head houses a small organ called the brain, which may be and usually is, of varying sizes. This brain invented the car. It attempts to drive the car; it has been trying to do so now for about thirty-five years. It will, in all probability, take long er for this brain to learn to oper ate the car than it took to invent it. At any rate, it has been found that the brain of a first semester college freshmen has not develop ed to the degree which allows op eration of a car while going to school. It has been ruled, there fore, by the Administration and Student Council, that first semes ter students at Brevard shall nei ther keep nor operate cars on the cr.mpus of Brevard College or within the town of Brevard. It is a very simple rule. It applies to all and must be observed toy all! A man does not go into the army a sergeant He goes in as a pvt-1, the lowest organism that crawls over the face of the earth He la ter becomes a pfc, then a cpl, and then at last that envied position— a “sarge”. This composition is called RHIP or “rank has it’s priv ileges”. If you prove that you are a mature person and are diligent enough to earn a C average at the end of your first semester — you may then drive your car. Until that time occurs, it would be greatly appreciated, I am sure, if you would quietly ship, push, or pedal your hidden car home. In consolation you may keep picturee of your car next to your girl’s in the wallet, in the breast pocket over the heart, or in the soles of your shoes to pad those aching feet. Every sophomore in Brevard College has undergone the rule you are now encountering. This specific rule and more, have taught him compassion. You now have his compassion; but the intel lect is the ruler of the world. This is a world of trials, trivialities, and sacrifice. You are now encounter ing a triviality. Treat it as such. You can live without that car! men when they reach the age of sixty and to keep my mother from reading this article! riniiiiiiMiiiiiitiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiMt Brevard Jewelers Corner of Main & Broad Free gift wrapping and wrapped for Mailing Pisgah Candy Co.
