TAGE TWO THE CLAiRION OCTOBER 17, i95g f ATTRACTIVENESS - OUR GOAL BY JOHN DUVALL Brevard College has a beautiful campus, and colleges throughout the South look upon our campus with an envi ous eye. Stately Annabelle Jones Hall and the new Campus Center Building are delightful and useful structures. ■‘•^7" lor and Green Dormitories are sturdy, long - suiienng homes for men. _ j u u The appearance of our buildings is not helped by the presence of the many announcements posted in almost ev ery window. While these are likely very important ulti matums, they create a messy appearance which detracts from the beauty of our campus. Let us make an already beautiful campus prettier by avoiding the unnecessary posting of notices on our doors and windows. DON’T BREAK THAT LIINE! It is an undisputed fact that all people should obey and respect those regulations which are passed for the benefit of the majority. Therefore, it has now become the responsibility of Brevard College students to uphold and adhere to the recent ruling passed by the Student Council in regard to “breaking in line” in the cafeteria. The previously mentioned offense has been defined as getting in line anywhere except at the end of the line, -and recently a ruling forbidding this practice was passed. In addition to this, it has also become necessary to forbid saving places in line. When a person leaves his original place in line, even for a moment, he is required to go to the end of the line or receive ten demerits. This ruling probably sounds stiff, and it is; however, the numerous and sound reasons behind it make such a regulation necessary. In the past, a large number of people have made it a practice to get in line, leave immediately for the Soda Shop or Student Lounge, remain there for ten or fifteen minutes, and then resume their original places in the cafeteria line, all without having to wait in line for two minutes. To cite another example, many students get in line, then ask someone to have their places while they “table hop” and chatter with their friends. Another ex ample is when one student saves places for five or six buddies who come charging in, all at one time, and crowd in front of those who have had to wait their turn. The tactics previously mentioned are perhaps extreme and are practiced only by the minority. The Student Coun cil realizes this, but the fact remains that a line must be drawn somewhere. All of us like to get out of line for a moment to remind a friend of a meeting or assignment, and it is certainly convenient to have someone save our place while we run to check our mailboxes. However, it must be rather obvious that no compromise is possible; eith er NO ONE sa\tes places or breaks line or EVERY ONE saves places or breaks line. A compromise would only re sult in a continual dispute over who did or did not have the right to do these things. Thus, the Student Council respectfully asks that the students of Brevard College try to understand the circum stances motivating the afore-mentioned regulations and also that the student body co-operate fully in obeying and enforcing these rulings. Rememiber: they were passed for YOU! VERBAL BOUQUETS Brevard College and the Student Government Asso ciation have every right to be proud of the magnificent way in which this year’s Homecoming events were car ried out. The schedule was well planned and the meet ings, the displays, the dance, and most of all, the spirit which graced Brevard College this past week end made it an unforgettable, pleasant occasion for all of us. How wonderful it was to see old friends and meet new ones! And what a pleasure it was to dress up our campus and show it off in its best Homecoming regalia!

All freshmen had a chance to pledge the society of their choice on Friday, OctobOT 10. The Nemos and Euterpeans broke even with forty members each. The Clios and Delphians — weill, that’s a different story. The Nemos and Delphians had their initiation Monday, October 13, and'everyone reially had a blast with their eggs and good looks. The Clios and Euterpeans had their initiation on the following Tuesday, and agaiin some of the freshmen were looking for a place to hide. Only onie or two were suc cessful in doing this. Early in the imorning, the Euter- pean and Nemo girls began ‘stomping” out of the dorm for a day of luxury. They were dressed (practically). They had their skirts on up side down, wore original hair do’s, and unmatched shoes. Quite a few of our girls were flying south for the winter and singing as they went on their way. We can all be proud of our girls’ display of beau ty and their “hush, hush” around boys. Thanks, girls! (You see, they were not allowed to talk to boys.) The Clios and Delphians also had their heyday. They were truly a manly group of pledges. They started the day off right by march- iP'g, swimming, and collecting com and other abjeots. Their regalia made theim look like a brigade of Tasmanian jungle runners. The pants were worn backward and Vyirong side out; the shirts were fliirned backward; ties hung down their backs, and shoes were beau tifully matched! They took the or ders of the sophomores, and at the saime time tried to escape eating a raw egg. Many of the ipledges had the distinct thrill of rolling an egg with his nose without ibreaking the egg. Yes, we can truly toe proud of our fine grou'p of rugged men and of their stately way of eating with a knife while satting on the cafeteria floor! Good luck to all societies in the year aJiead. Religious Groups Active On Campus Brevard College has many reli gious organizations active in a var iety of ways. Probably the most popular or ganization from the st^dpoint of student participation is the Chris tian Fellowship Clulb. At its last meeting, the cLuib sponsored a stu dent talent prognalm. This was well attended and enjoyed iby the stu dents. Vespers have become an integral part of the religious life of the Bre vard College family. Held on each V/ednesday evening, this group meets for a brief period of worship and meditation. The Baptist Student Union is the active and cooperative organiza tion for Ba^ptist students. This group proudly oarried away the prize for the best homecoming ex hibit. The Methodist Student Union is headed by Marie Benge and pro vides study and recreation after the ipattern of the Methodist Youth Fellowship. This group meets each Sunday evening at the Methodist church. The Canterbury Cluib is headed by Bill Kezziah and helps to keep Episcopal students connected with their church while they are in school. Kappa Chi Pre-Ministerial F'ra- ternity is the local chapter of the national organization which is ac tive on the Brevard campus. Rep resentatives from this group will attend the Regional Conference at Pfeiffer College, October 18 and 19. The annual fall retreat will be held in Pisgah National Forest, Oc tober 25. Professor Roy is the ad visor to this organization. John Du vall is the president. The religious activities on cam pus are under the general direc tion of Professor Roy. He states that the response so far has been wonderful and urges students to continue to make the various ac tivities successful by helping in their attendance.
