Boxer Trio Presents
Finest Lyceum Ever
The Karl Boxer Trio from
Charlotte, N. C., entertained the
Brevard College student body
with a classical jazz concert at
the lyceum program on Septem
ber 24.
Mr. Nelson Adams, head of
the music department at Bre
vard, introduced the trio.
Their program consisted of
favorites such as MISTY, SOL
AR, JAZZ NOCTURN, songs
from the WEST SIDE STORY,
and MY FAIR LADY as well as
^ginal tunes, all in a modern,
ja2zed up form. Tim Smith, the
drummer, and Rusty Young,
the bass violinist, were both fea
tured in several of the selec-
ti^. Mr. Boxer ended the show
with good advice, “No matter
how bad the going gets, SMILE”
and then played tke song bear
ing that title.
After the concert the trio talk-
!d with interested students for
a short while. Mr. Boxer ex
plain^ his playing as a “pro
gression in harmony” jazz and
demonstrated the differences
between his own and the more
conventional method of playing.
His method of programming
designed in order that he
^ght fit the music to the mood
his audience. This, all the
^0 insisted, was so important
that their only regular songs
were those from WEST SIDE
STORY.
The three musieians use now
recording a new album, Kaia
^oes to Kollege, to be rdeased
'the neer future. They are
also working on jazz variations
with THE SOUND OF MUSIC
and other popular musicals. The
trio invited ^1 the students to
drop in at Karl Boxer’s night

Brevard's Growth
Brevard College Is currently
embarking on a long-term build
ing program. The Clarion went
to Dr. Emmett McLarty to find
out what this means to the fu
ture of the college. Following
is an informal conversation be
tween Dr. McLarty and a Clar
ion reporter.
The Clarion: “Dr. McLarty,
why is Brevard beginning the
improvement plan?”
Dr. McLarty: “The building
program is to care more ade
quately for the needs of the stu
dents. There is an advantage to
a larger student body. There
is a golden mean between big
ness and a small college.
We can diversify a student ac
tivity program more with a
larger student body. There will
be more chances for leadership
to be developed. Eight hundred
students is viewed as the maxi
mum by the trustees. This is
the number that our new build
ings are being built to accommo
date.”

room Center Building will be

In this expansion program,
there is approximately $350,000
of Brevard College funds. As
this $350,000 is raised, an addi
tional $200,000 will become avail
able to the college. This second
sum is in the form of a three-
two basis challenge grant from
C. Greir Beam, of Carolina
Freight Carriers. Mr. Beam,
long time college benefactor and
trustee from Cherryville, N. C.,
is the man for whom the Beam
Administration Building was
named.
In this program, the student
body is expected to increase to
800 students.
There will be no enlargement
of the present campus, although
4.98 acres have been bought for
a retreat at a cost of $3,984.
There will be no increase in
student tuition.
plan to restrict the number of
students?”
Dr. McLarty: “To keep the
student body to 800, we would
have to be more selective ini our
accepting of applicants. This
year, we took one out of three
applications. Over the last five
years, the college has gained a
reputation in the academic field
and has also gained a reputation
outside. Applications are in
creasing.”
The Clarion; ‘T)oes Brevard
intend to keep enlarging?”
Dr. McLarty: “It is not deter
mined as to whether we are
going four-year or not. Right
now, we hope to become special
ists in the two-year college pro
gram.”
The Clarion: “What is planned
after the building phase is com
pleted?”
Dr. McLarty: “When we com
plete all our facilities, the em
phasis will then be put on en
dowment, in an attempt to keep
student costs down. But the
baby boom is not over; the trend
is supposed to start up again
next year. I can’t encourage
anyone to feel that college costs
are going to decrease.”
The Clarion: “Dr. McLarty, do
you feel that any one group is
particularly responsible for the
growth of the college?”
Dr. McLarty: “We would like
to compliment the College De
velopment Committee. Tiilie
members of this Committee are
Mrs. Grace Munro (Chairman),
Dean Braxton Harris, Dr. Ora
Riailsback, W. Glenn Hardesty,
and C. W. Butterworth. These
people have worked long and
hard' on the building project. We
wouid like to thank tfeeia f*r
their efforts.”
