ments during a brief rest. Pictured
The Brevard College Lyceum
series begins Friday night Sep
tember 24, with the Karl Boxer
Trio, a classical jazz group. The
program will be held in the
Dunham Music Building Audi
torium. Boxer, a native New
Yorker and now a resident of
Charlotte, North Carolina, is
one of the newest and most
promising names on the mod
ern piano scene. He is accompa
nied by Dave Young, bass, and
Tim Smith, percussion.
Boxer’s basic training was a
formal musical education in
Allentown, Pennsylvania. He
later studied with Ziggie Hur-
witz of Charlotte and Milt Sealy
of New York City. He has full
command of the keyboard as
evidence by his strong bass line
and technique that couples in
tricate fingering with driving
force and speed.
Boxer achieves a

his true love for music to his
listeners through his piano. He
doesn’t pilay too many straight
jazz tunes as he feels that the
audience can better reached by
playing familiar music. His en

conducted from the stage with
no set program or compositions.
The Trio have S-minute radio

The halls were 'bleak and
bare (with the exception of a
few wandering sophomores on
tip-toe) during the closed study
hours between 7:30 and 9:30.
When the announcement was
made at 9:30 that closed study
was over, each freshman heaved
a sigh of relief — in some cases,
a cry of relief. Yet she wasn’t
able to get out of the dorm to
let off steam and get a breath
of fresh air. Her priviledged
“upperclassmen” could go to
the Soda Shop, leaving her even
more depressed and closed in.
On Friday nights she was free,
along with the sophomores un
til 10:00, (Leaving little time
for a moonlight stroll after a
movie!) Saturday night was the
big night — everyone could
stay out until 11:30. (But it seems
that even Cinderella had it bet
ter than that!) The Sunday
night curfew was 10:45. Such
was the plight of Jones Hall in
the academic year ’64 - ’65.
As we turn to this year, we
see that the scene has changed
quite a bit. Although freshmen
must still observe closed study
from 7:30 to 9:30, they may go
to the Soda Shop each night
from 9:30 to 10:00. The Friday
night curfew has been extended
to 10:30. And on Saturday night
curfew is 11:45. In addition to
the curfew is 12:00 (move over
Cinderella!) The Sunday night

system has also been changed.
If order to obtain even 1 demer

rules of last year have been
dropped on favor of treating
the residents of J»nes Hall

that they are (or should be).

The evening of Friday, Sep
tember 10, was open house at
one of t’le men’s dormitories,
Taylor Hall. The Administra
tive officials, Faculty, and stud
ent body were invited. Refresh
ments, furnished by the cafe
teria, were served in the par
lor.
As one toured the rooms he
was impressed with the boy’s
fine housekeeping. The beds
were made, and the floors were
spotless — well, as spotless as
one can get antique flooring.
The walls were bare, too, bare
There were little spaces where,
at one time, a picture once
hung (possibly was hanging Fri
day afternoon and hung there
again on Saturday morning).
Mr. Gerhard Tauseher, the
dormitory director, stated the
purpose of the open house as
■‘giving the men and women a
chance to have an informal get-
logether and to got to know one
another.”
Bus Transportation To Church
The Brevard College bus will
be available every Sunday to
any student who needs trans
portation to church. The time it
v/ill leave will be posted. The bus
will also pick up students after
church at 12:00. The driver will
inform the students of the
places the bus will stop.

A new housemother, and al
ready quite a favorite with the
girls in Annabelle Jones Hall
is Mrs. Thelma Young. This is
her first year as a housemother,
having previously worked as a
receptionist and a bookkeeper.
Mrs. Young has two children,
one boy and one girl, and one
grandson. Her hobbies are knit-
tjng and sewing.
Commenting on her new po
sition, Mrs. Young remarked,
“I like it. The girls are very
nice and cooperative.”
“There’s never a dull moment
cn Ross Hall Hill,” says Mrs.
Walker, who has never been a
housemother before.

There is a woman in Green
Hall, the director! She is Mrs.
Louise Brackett, whose previous
jobs include teaching, recep
tionist for a doctor, and cry
ptographic clerk for the Signal
Corps during World War II.
Mrs. Brackett, a native of
Henderaloniville, came to Bre
vard this summer as an office
worker. She applied for the job
of Director of the Dormitory be
cause, “I like to work with
young people.” Serving in simi
lar capacity at the girls’ dorm
at Columbia College was good
experience, as was her family
training. “I was the only girl,”
she laughed. “I was brought up
with boys.”
“All the boys are especially Mrs. Walker attended Madi-
nice, it seems.” commented College in Virginia, Concord
Mrs. Brackett. “The fact that College in West Virginia, andl
they sing in the showers doesn’t Radford College in Virginia.
She taught high school English
for eighteen years and was an
elementary school principal for
eight years. Mrs. Walker is quot
ed as saying, “Being a house
mother is quite a change from
teaching, but quite a delightful
change.”
As Mrs. Walker was discussing
her experiences here at Bre
vard, she suddenly said, “You
nuist mention the ‘chariot’. It
would be offended if it were
left out.” The ‘chariot’ is a 1953
Dodge which Mrs. Walker
drives. This car can be remem
bered as the one Mr. Louis
Miles owned last year.
Mrs. Walker is very happy
to be at Brevard College. In
closing she said, “The second
time I retire I’m going to rent
an apartment in Ross Hall and
stay here.”
