Student Council Officers Installed In Ceremony At a very impressive ceremony in the auditorium of the newly- completed Student Center, the Student Government association of Brevard college installed the offi cers for the year 1957-58. Bobby Little Recently elected as president of ■the Student i'ody for the co'ming school year was Bobby Little of Charlotte, North Carolina. Bobby is a graduate of East Mecklenburg high school w^here he was quite out standing in student activities, and there exhibited the leadership which has helped to make him a le.-ider also in his college activities.

Maxwell Cox Brevard Collsege is happy to have as its new social chainman, Mr. Maxwell Cox, who hails from NoT-th Wilkesboro. Max attended Wilkes-Central high school where ’he was viery j^tive in s'^rts; he was also very active in the MYF at the First Methodist church in North Wilkesboro.

Even though Max isn’t sure of his major, he Jias his eye on business administra tion. He plans to go to Wake For- I Literally Speaking Modern literature is divided into two binds, the good and the bad. The good is that which every one reads and says is perfectly AWFUL. The bad I will not dis cuss. I will merely say that it is what the critics read, say is wonder ful and place on the shelf never again to be touch by human hands. The good literature is divided into two types, prose and poetry. Prose is the more important of the two types. It is characterized mainly by the three S’s — sex, sin, and syciiology. I just finished reading half a book that would be an excellent model for anyone who wants to be a modern author. So far in this novel, FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, Uie hero has had three affairs. The first was with a na tive girl, the second was with the wife of one of his superiors, and the last affair, if you could call it one, was with an employee of a house of ill repute. The great mod ern novel is one that will make ev en the modest modern girl Iblush at times as she avidlv scours its pag es. To be considered good the modern novel must be bad. Modern petry, however, is dif ferent. In it you don’t find sex, sin or psychology — in fact some people say you don’t find any thing. I have been told, though, that all modern poems have some deep meaning. Any modern poet though would kill himself before he would let you know what the meaning was. There is one group of poets that is threatening to be come bigger than even the unun- derstandable ones. It is the “de signing” school of poetry. The sound or rhythm or rime matters not to them; they say that what is important is how it looks when put on paper. By now pyramids, up side-down, right-side-up, or at some angle, have become “old hat.” I just saw a new poem by their lea der, John Hamer. It was about one Monroe’s doctrine Ibut it had another Monroe’s shaipe. Yes, modern literature is dif ferent, reflecting modern living. It had becom.e one of the major oc-. cupations of modern people to read this new literature. In closing I w'ould say that, literally speaking, it’s ibetter not to. —^Carl Walker Collison - Depp Brevard College is fortvmate iffi.- deed to have two such outstaiMfing men as speakers for sKMmence- ment.
