PAGE TWO the clarion APRIL 5, 1963 Sun-Bathers Protest The No-Sunday Rule Quite a fuss is being raised in Jones Hall because the girls are not permitted to lie in the sun on Sunday afternoon. I can see why no activities are permitted before 1:30 on Sunday; but, in the eyes of the students and the public, sun-bathing is no worse than playing tennis. Sunday is the only day in which the girls, and boys for that matter, have the day to lie in the sun without the worry of classes. There is no stated rule in the college handbook that says the students can not lie in the sun on Sunday afternoon. It appears that this rule was invoked to please a certain few, the minority. In my opinion, if any activities are to be permit ted on Sunday afternoon, “sun-bathing” should be included. J-S. YUNG HWAN (Ediitor’s Note: The following letter is from Yooh, Yung Hwam, the SGA’s adopted chUd. The letter was originally written in Korean and was translaited by “Save the ChUdren Federation, Inc.) Dear Sponsors, How are you getting on? We thankfully received 1,935 won from you. It’s already 9 months since I came to know you through sponsorship last time. I strive to do miy best for my studies so as to repay you ful ly always. I have ben promoted to 5th grade of primary schooil. How glad and happy I am! Receiving new booikis all of the friends were so joyful and delightful. Ovir teacher said to us that 5th grade is the most important period to us for the en'trance of advanced school, and told us to study harder. Do you have spring over there now? In spring, flowers bloom, butterflies fly about and swal lows fly back to this country from warm south countries. We’re going to be cheerful and good chilren in this good sea son. Yesterday I went to see TV in our neighborhoiod. We saw a thrilling Western movie then, as well as a gang movie about Chicago. I saw such movies be fore. The chief deteetive in the movie was so wise and skillful. I like Western movies best. How nice it would be, if you were near us! Then I wish to meet and greet you with smUes everyday. I wish God’s blessing upon you all the way through. I say good-bye to you. Sincerely yours, Yung Hwan (Translated) March 19, 1963 Goodbye “Bags”, Hello “Food” Petition granted! and those two words replaced the traditional Sunday “bag lunches” with FOOD, or at least that is the case for two Sunday nights a month. No longer will Brevardians seek their Sunday night meal through the muddy eyes of a crisp “poke” filled with substantial non-sustainers, because “our cafeteria staff” agreed to prepare “food for the body” to support that “food obtained for the mind” that students hitherto existed on from Sunday noon to Mon day eggs. Breakfast, twice a month, on Sunday mommgs will be doughnuts and coffee with an evening meal being served in the cafeteria that night. On the alter nate week, breakfast will consist of the usual ingredi ents with a familiar “bag lunch” accompanying the diner as he leaves the cafeteria from the midday meal. Perfection? No, but PROGRESS. Congratula tions student ’petitioners and thanks to our ‘^bountiful providers”, the cafeteria staff. J.W. I House Council Submits Budget Perhaps we have been a bit negligent in preparing financial statements for the benefit of the student body to see. Perhaps, too, we have been negligent in feeling that miybody really cared enough to justify taMng up Clar ion space for anything as boring as figures. However, since there are a few interested students, the Women’s House Council, as of March 30, 1963, presents these expenditures: Balance Brought Forth: $205.53 Date Description Amount 10-15 Miscellaneous $ 5.00 10-23 3 cases drinks 4.20 10-31 Powell’s Restaurant 26.92 10-31 Sear’s 5.68 11-30 Outing 1-40 11-30 Supplies (office) 9.24 11-30 Florist 2.50 12-19 Personal Gift 10.00 2-5 Florist 2.00 2-28 Save-A-Cluld Fund 25.00 2-28 Office Supplies .40 3-15 Berry’s Restaurant 43.50 3-27 Combo 25.00 Total Expenses 160.84 Bal.

Holidays, April 9-16, will be a welcome “di version” for them, as well as for most of the Bre vardians. Besides, it will be Easter at home with the family. Of Romanticists And Spring! The Clarion Staff PRESS EDITOR Joyce West | BUSINESS MANAGER Charles Gibbons | ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER Ted Lee | SPORTS EDITORS Freddie MdMahan i Jim Ferguson i CARTOONIST Jerry Lathan \ PHOTOGRAPHER Gil Coan [ ASSISTANT IN PHOTOGRAPHY Sam Snyder | STAFF WRITERS — Lorraine Martin, Martha Curto, Cheryl | Greene, Jerry Shore, Ann Green = QiaililliiiiiiiiiiiiilliiiiimiiitiiuiiiiiiitliailllllliiliiiiiiliiitiitiKiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiftQ To save you the time and the mental effort, we have already computed what the students are really interested in. Out of ex penditures amounting to $160.84, $76.02 of this went to House Council sponsored outings. Excessive, you might say? Perhaps so, but when you come down to a final analysis, there are 20 people on the Council. Twenty divided into $76.02 al lows each member $3.80 as a yearly “bonus” in the way of a steak dinner for giving his time and effort to the students. Many valuable hours are spent by these members in checking rooms, at tending meetings, counseling, and being -alert to the needs of anyone who might ask for in formation. No, we did not take our jobs with the understanding that someday we would be repaid with a steak dinner. We took them with the imderstanding that we would be doing a jolb that had to be done by someone. We con sider ourselves lucky that we were asked! The steak dinners are for diversions, and as men tioned a little “compensation” for our work. We apcxlogize, and are truly sorry -if anyone dislikes his share of the SGA dollar going toward such diversions. How ever, your House Coundl mem ber has probably already paid you his $3.80 tenJfold in service. Women’s House Council Linda Swarirngen, Pres. By ANN GREENE That groups of poets known as Romanticists wrote volumes about birds and flowers and young men’s fancies in connec tion with spring. It really makes me wonder how those great Romanticists would react if they could only briefly ob serve our 20th-century reactions to spring — Sure, we have birds (crazy creatures! Don’t they know it will probably snow again??) — and we have flowers (in spite of the present-day Romanticists who cannot resist picking them) — and we certainly have a lot of fancy. As a matter of fact, we have an over-abundance of fancy — young men and young women alike — But there is no need to emphasize that . . . How ever — oh, never mind! Oh, to be in Brevard now that April’s there, so we could listen to the lovely roar of machinery, and the consistent ringing of class bells, and spend our after noons in the library. Oh, the Brevard students have scattered here and there; Of Spring and Romance they have their share. You’ll find them in every part of the nation — Making the most of that Spring Vacation! Easter Brings Hope By CHERYL GREENE On April 14, Christians throughout the world wiU ob serve Easter Siuiday. As we come to the close of the Lenten Season, we shoidd open our hearts and contemplate the Wonderful 'miracle of Christ’s death and ressureotion. This miracle is the fulfillment of God’s love and compassion for mankind. It is the climax of Christ’s teachings and the basis Wib of Weit JOYCE WEST Sun worshippers, nature lov ers (love exemplified by diligent study of plants, shrubs, and trees in Jones’ HaU (Jarden), and vaca tion-bound friends, do not burn, decay, or vacate these hallowed grounds until your wrongs have been righted, your debts paid in full, and your term papers typed to perfection (following Camp bell’s Thesis, of course). Time vdU heal the wounds re ceived by mid-night oil, library numbness, sunbeam rays, and failures, but even time (Eastern Standard, of course) wiU be se verely tested by spT-ins-^anon hangovers. The time to prepare for this depressednstate of being that always follows vacations, is now — before the headaches begin. Solution: Stock up on aspirins, stationery (to write that “friend” back home), and will power (suggested that you get exces sive amount), for the all-to-short spring-fever months -ahead. Final Notes: A man can mend his ways, but it’s difficult to do so that the patches won’t show; Few of us get dizzy from domg too many good turns; some men don’t seem to realize that they can learn a little every day and still not know it all. (Just like a man.) for the Christian faith. This divine gift to the world was made so that man might come to God without the aid of a hu man high priest. Many men have died nobly, but no one else has been able to assxime, as Jesus did, the pen alty for the sins of others. For this reason, we do not walk alone. We walk in the glorious protection of God s love and the knowledge that we may have life freely and abund antly. It is significant that Eas ter comes with spring.
