The. class flection were a masterpiece of strategy and There was even a candidate for every office, and JaJonaTly two. One musn’t forget the paign, the snappy slogans (vote for me or not at ), and the awe inspiring speeches. Yes, the campaign was a wild one, but we miss the old ones. Remember the time that Pf^ics was poli tics. Speeches were written to appeal to the elector ate’s intellect. Names and slogans were posted every where. There was even talk of a debate on current i'SSU'GS This election was based on the “vote for me; we could really care if you don’t.” Current issues were non-existent because the electorate was too busy reap ing the harvest of the sophomores to actually do some- For Brevard College the era of Drumism and Shreeveism has passed. The Clarion will miss the fireworks. What Do You Think Of School? How Should You Act? Normally, when you are at school be pleasant, act yourself. In your home you shouldn’t play with your friends all the time. Help with the work. Good manners are needed when you’re visiting someone. It is also important to be a good sport in your play. Then you will be happier and your friends will be happier also. _ , by Donna Rich (Editor’s note: This editorial was written by a 4th grade student at Brevard Elementary.) Dear Sponsors, It is cool holiday with gentle winds. I have just taken up my pen, thinking of you. You must enjoy this holiday nicely. I’ll go back school before long. So I am study ing hard what I’ve neglected. I should study hard because we will take exams for first semester as soon as school reopen. I get acquainted with the life in junior high now. I was enjoying it very much. I found English very interesting while I am studying it hard. I like to go swimming very much, but my mother keeip me from swimming. I thought you are good enough to enjoy swimming. I hope you have a nice summer. The rainy season started here after a long drought. Many people lost their home and lives due to the heavy rains. My skin is very dark, and so my sisters are teas ing me, calling me negro. I don’t worry about that, because I think it is good for a man to have dark skin. Don’t you think it look like healthy? Thank you so much for your kind cash gift; I don’t know how to thank you enough for your love. I decided my mind to study harder. That’s all my news for this time. Please keep well and have a pleasant vacation.

Student Government, linen service, everybody had his hand out. The daz ed, line-maddened registrant, by the time he reach ed the next-to-the-last table, was usually either too tired or too disgusted to read the sign Subscribe to motive. The student who did read it was prone to comment to those around him, “I don’t know—it s some dumb religious magazine.” What is motive? According to its credits page, it is, indeed, a religious magazine. It is the “maga zine of the Methodist Student Movement.’’ Upon dis covering this, many people tend to dismiss the pub lication as simply another Sunday School tract or quarterly . . . maybe it’s somebody they use in Prayer Chapel. Anybody ever heard of Kenneth Patchen? Or Mary McCarthy? Or Jules Feiffer? How about Jack Newfield, an assistant editor of “the village voice?” Or Julian Bond, director of information for SNCC? These nationally-famous peoiple have been contribu tors to motive, along with students. Peace Corps mem bers, Trappist monks, professors, and assorted bums. Contributions to this magazine, which publishes art, poetry, fiction, social commentary, and news, pour in from all over the world. In the past, motive has contined articles such as “Who Needs the Poor?” “The Revolt at Berkley,” “Coffee Houses: Evangelism or Evasion,” “The End less Prosecution of Jimmy Hoffa,” “The New Soviet Man,” and “The South and the Republican Party.” This is no devotions book; it is a publication for the young college intellectual, presenting a surprisingly unbiased account of his world. motive has been commended by the Student Council of Duke University, who said: “By raising some issues, motive frees students to raise further questions; and by treating these questions creatively, it opens new possibilities for a'pproaching them con- ” Brevard College is part of the greater vvyiiii, whose voice finds expression in just such publications as motive.
