PAGE TWO THE CLARION FEBRUARY 2, 1962 A New Journey Onice again registration is ov«r and we are start ing' all over. We’ve all had a taste of final exams and we are about to embark upon a new journey. A fresh new horizon awaits us. As itsieems now, it is an endless journey, (but it will pass faster than we think. Remem ber how first semester flew? It seems only yesterday that we were here for the first time. But we threw our selves into our classes and the time flew. Time will fly again. It is very important that we 'put ourselves into our classes with renewed effort. Through the experience :^e have gained in com pleting a whole semester, we should be much better qualified to meet the challenges ahead. One lap of the race is over, and we have progressed half way up the mountain. Success or failure depends upon how well we work and how hard we climb during the latter ■part of our journey. Through hard work, ability, and determination we will not falter. It has become evident by now that we have the ability. We are here because we had the ability in the past. During exams we proved again that we have the ability. Secondly, we are here because of hard work. We all know what that is, whether it be mental or physical work. Here our mental powers are put to the test. Through hard work we discovered our easier subjects as well as our hardest. Last, we are here because of our willingness and determination—our willingness to set a goal and our determination to work in trying to attain that goal. Here we can begin the first stepping stones to ap proach that goal. It will be a long journey and at times the trip will be rough. We will be tempted to throw up our hands and say we cannot make it. But we will make it! When stop to rest but not for long. With the ability, deter- sto to rest but not for long. With the ability, deter mination, and willingness to work even harder we can do it. We’ve already proved that it can be done. Thousands of young people the world over are prov ing every day that we can succeed. Our future as a world leader depends upon us, the peo'ple of to- jnorrow. We must succeed! Key To Succes THE CLARION would like to welcome all the new students! You will find Brevard College a won derful experience if you will join some of the Col lege siponsored groups to di^el the idea that “there is nothing to do here.” There is a great deal to be done ,and all students both old as well as new should join in seeing that it is done. Another “key to success” is the willingness to study when the necessity arises (at Brevard this is an everyday occurance). You have probably already heard jokes about having to have a C average, _At Brevard, class work always comes first and the admin istration does enforce the rules concerning grade re quirements. You have made a good choice of schools in com ing to Brevard. It is now up to you to prove that Bre vard made a good choice in choosing to admit you.

Well, almost everything, that is! "phere is still the piroblem of the student lounge. No one seems to be able to find a complete ansvi'- er to this problem, but here are the suggestions made by several students. Gene Beajsley — “Hail proc tors need to REALIZE that the administration holds them re sponsible for student conduct. They need to remind those who need it that the lounge is ‘on probation’ and should be treat ed as such.” Jerry Tillotson — “I believe the student lounge does not command the respect of the students. It has desperately needed the rennovations now be ing made for a long time. One phonograph and one T.V. are not enough. Partitioned sections would be very helpful to re spect the privacy of the T.

It was the custom a few years back to refer to the basement of Dunham Hall as “The Dungeon”. This is the reason for the title. Under stand? The next item of business is the purpose of running a separate column when I could express my views through the editorials usuaiHy in the paper. I imagine the main purpose is to get a chance to say and report things that otherwise might not appear in THE CLARION for various reasons. Talking with a few students I’ve found concern that the CLARION has never mentioned the academic rating of the col lege. Trying to remedy this, I talked to Mr. Hardesty, Director of Admission, and found that r.revard’s standards are among Uie highest in the Southeast.

It seems that all effort is extended in vain. Success seems distant and impossible to obtain. These are the times wben an individual allows his imaginiatiion to create an atmos phere of dooim and destruction for his future. It would be con trary to reality to suppose that anyone could cope with life in a continiu'ous state of well-being —that anyone could exist with out occasionally becoming lost in a worM of chaos. In these times of tribulation there is an ever-present outlet. That outlet is God. When you feel that you can no longer bear all 'Of the sionrows and disap pointments that come your way, think of things beyond your self. Think of the greatness, the beauty, and the omnipotence of the Almighty God wiho created the earth and who redeems the souls of men tjhrough Jesus CTiirist, His son. Think of the power that He possesses— the power to create or to desitroy. Think of the grace He com mands — the grace of forgive ness. Think of the love He has for aU mankind — regardless of race, creed, or color. When you look beyond yourself into the magnitude of creation, think of the isiuffering and the ^ame that His son endured on earth for the sake of sinners — sin ners such as we. In the light of the glory lof Christ and in the realization that God is love, sor rows and disappointments will cease to be of major importance. Insitead, your life will be gov- erened by the wisdom of God. You will find the courage and the desire to push forward to conquer new horizons for your self and for God.

The boys —Tnm to Page Three students felt about Brevard. So if you’re a “Yankee” and have a chance to do so, why don’t you let Mr. Hardesty know your opinion of Brevard College? In the rush to try to get some studying done before exams, I let some fairly large mistakes slip into the last issue of The Clarion. To those who read them and found out they weren’t valid, I offer my apologies. To those wiho didn’t see them, I hope you read the Clarion a lit tle more closely this time. Dr. Riegel Joins Faculty (Continued From Page One) Mrs. Low’s resignation from the faculty was occasioned by the transfer of her husband from a position with the local DuPont Silicon Plant to the Wilmington headquarters of the DuPont Corporation. CHRISTIAN WITNESS ON CAMPUS —Bob Spencer We call ourselves Christians, ibut are we? Do we really know w^hat it is to be a complete Christian. Oh, most of us are Christians in the usual sense of the word: ie., one who believes in Jesus Christ and the truth as taught by him. But this is only part of being a Christian; to be a complete Christian we have to believe in the equality of all men of all races. I recently had the opportunity of staying with a Negro student from the Teacher’s College in Win ston Salem. He is one of the finest men I have ever met. Yet, when we decided to go to a college basket ball game, we found that Negroes were not allowed in the college gym. He, a Methodist student, was not allowed in the gym of a Methodist College. I am fully aware of the fact that integration must be a gradual thing, but I also know that we must sta^rt somewhere. Integration will not succeed, at least T?/? unless we try to make it succeed. The Methodist Church could make it succeed, and at the same time fulfill its duty as a bodv of complete Christ ians. A Salute to an Outstanding Religious Organization j. , salute this week goes not to an organization lit in a meiptinor, WeiHnesday Evening Ves'pers. These weekly services provide an opportunity for the student to be a part of a Christian fellowship. i praise goes to those who prepare and present these services. We also salute those faithful students who support these services by attending. An 1 Thoug}j|- Remember All souls are equal in the sight of God, but man lets color blind his visions of the soul.
