THE CLARION
MAY 18, 1962
‘‘I Came, I Saw, I Wrote . .
I came, I saw, I wrote . . thanks to you, the
student body, who has entrusted to me the editor
ship of The Clarion for the past eight-plus months.
It has been a valua;ble and rewarding experience for
me, and I’m sure I shall treasure those months of
joy, sweat, pride, and frustration always.
It has been said that journalism is two per cent
Inspiration and ninety - eight per cent perspiration.
But the profits from journalism are high.
1 can thank my connections with the newspaper
for bringing me into contact with people whom I
would, otherwise not have met: Mr. John Anderson,
editor of the Transylvania Times, and the Mechanical
Supei’visor of the Times, Mr. Henry Henderson, for
their valuable aid and guidance; I only second last
yearns editor in saying that their help has often
meant the difference between success and failure.
And to the behind-the-scene workei's, the un-
glorified staff members, go my special thanks for
their CO - operation and help: without them, there
would have been no paper.
The faculty advisor of the Clarion, Mrs. Ena
Kate Sietnon, never receives,publicity for here work,
and yet her guidance, her steadying influence, and her
faith in my ability has contributed much to the suc-
sjeas- of the Clarion.
To the new editor, Miss Joyce West, go my best
wi^es for a successful year. She has been invaluable
as associate editor this year, cheering me when
I, became discouraged and downcast, lightening the
load when I began staggering, and adding her talent
and imagination to making- the newspaper “come
alive”.
The newspaper has caused some of my deepest
depressions and highest joys. It is hard to leave want
ing to do so much more.

SGA Proposes
Changes In
Handbook
In vi€w of the contradictions,
ambiguities,' and out-dated ar
ticles in the Student Handbook
Df Regulations, the Student Gov
ernment Council has revised and
edited the regulations concern
ing student activities at Brevard.
Dorm Hours Changed
After careful consideration of
all factors involved, the S.G.A.,
in conjunction with the advisor
to the women, recommends that
the women students be allowed
to remain out until 11:30 P.M. on
Saturday, and, since Monday is
a school-day, come in at 10:45
P.M. on Sunday evenings.
Publications Editors
The editors of the Clarion and
the Pertelote will be chosen by
the advisors and staffs of the
publications they represent, eith-
T by. election or appointment.
Students must have a cumu
lative *C” average on all work

Tomorrow’s Blueprint
Impossible, But. . .
It would be extremely difficult, if not entirely
impossible, to present a blueprint for next year s
Clarion. A newspaper is centered around the events
that occur. It is dependent upon the staff’s interpre-
isilon of these events and the method that they
choose to report these events.
As there is no staff as of yet, I, as editor, can
not make any promises. I will not attempt to flat
ter myself by saying that you can exect a revolution
.in the newspaper world.
I can’t promise the best pa;per that the school
has ever had because there have been some excel
lent displays of penmanship, technique, and organi
zational skills exhibited in the past editions. I will
tiry to present an accurate, yet interesting account
of the things that you will want to remember when
yoi\ leave Brevai'd.
Several of the freshmen have expressed an ar
dent desire to fill the shoes of the evacuating sopho
more staff members. Since nine of the eighteen
members ar-e leaving, the opportunities are practic-
allv unlimited. If you are interested in writing, you
mi^t find yourself with an exciting assignment or
even a regular column to write for the Clarion.
1 Avant to thank you for placing your confidence
in me. I will do the very best that I can.—Joyce West
Orphan Fund
Nears $100 Mark
The SGA-MSF sponsored drive
for funds to pay for the educa
tion of a needy child has gar
nered $98.50 through press time
Thursday.
The goal of $150 is expected
to be topped some time next
week when the various clubs and
organizations on campus con

At present 94 students and
faculty members have contrib

The sponsors of the drive hope
to go over the $150 mark and
use the excess money to set up
a scholarship fund at Brevard for
the “orphan” that is to be adopt
ed.
Any student who wishes to
buy a share in the education of
the child is urged to see Dean
Roberts or Bob Spencer.
women be changed so as to al
low women students to smoke
in the student lounge and soda
shop.
These recommendations are
still to be approved by the ad
ministration and ratified by the
S.G.A.

the new handbook carefully, tak
ing note of other changes and
additions in the rules and regu
lations.

Number 15 — a magic num
ber in my book . . . it’s one-half
the number of days in. April,
ihree more than the number of
months in a year, one Ipss than
the age I was when I got my
driving license, five le.ss than
the grade I made on my first
trig test . . . and the last issue
of the 1961-62 Clarion.
P. T. A. Anyone? The little
fellow was only in the fourth
grade. His mother was v/orking,
his father was in bed with poi
son (ivey); he’d contacted it
Ihrough little Steve, who had
been out in the woods. Where?
(from a distance) oh, just out,
Steve was hunting someone
to go to a P. T. A. meeting with
him. Why? Because they were
showing some water paintings
that had been done in class, and
Steve’s was among them. Be
sides, they were serving re
freshments . . .
Annuals, Please: With nearly
everyone eager to get this year’s
yearbook, the Pertelote editor
and staff have been receiving
quite a bit of brow - beating.
But please remember that they
had to work against quite a few
obstacles this year: the near
epidemic flu scare .... the
changing of officers at mi^-se-
mester, which meant that more
pictures had to be taken . . .
anyway, it’s been a hectic year
for nearly everyone.
The End: And it is. I leave
my post with mixed feelings of
relief and regret: relief, be
cause there will be no more
deadlines to meet, regret, be
cause there will be no more
deadlines to meet. Paradoxical?
Sure; but it’s a crazy world , . .

Student Union
Is Proposed
The recently elected Social
Chairman, Gil Coan, Jr., has
started pre-organizational work
on a student union for Brevard
College.
A temporary Committee work
ing with Gil has drawn up a ten
tative constitution and a tenta
tive Social calendar. At the
present time plans for next year
call for one or two informal
dances, several record hops, and
more and better movies.
Such movies as “To Hell and
Back”, “Midnight Lace”, and
“Ti;e Glenn Miller Story”, are
scheduled.
Both the tentative Social cal
endar and student union havt
been presented to President Me
Larty, Dean Roberts, and Mrs
Dellinger, Chairman of the So
cial Committee. Their reactioi
was favorable, but before an;
definite action can be taken, i
will be necessary to find out th
students’ opinion on this matter
The question boils down ti
this — as a student would yoi
be willing to pay one dollar pe
semester for a Student Unioi
and all it can offer? Whethe
you are in favor of a Studen
Union or against the idea, cli]
