Dear Friends,
It was so good to be in Brevard during the Home
coming weekend and to see some of the ones I’ve
been missing so much. I wish I could have seen some
of my former teachers to tell them about my job.
Brevard College and the training I received in
the classes are the reasons I’m so happy in my job
today. Tell the students they have really got a lot to
look forward to because the business world is grand.
This Thanksgiving season I am even more appre
ciative of my two years at Brevard and of being under
the leadership of such grand people. I hope the stu
dents now and in the future will take advantage of
their training and realize what an asset they can be
fci their profession.
Thank you for all I feel you’ve taught me.
Sincerely,
A ’65 Graduate

What Say, An Honor Code
To admit that Brevard College needs honor
code is to admit that they lack the moral fortitude
of honor. This is regrettably valid. „ ,
Perhaps the lack of honor stems from the mod
ern day outlook on the subject. It is synonymous with
chivalry, and the chivalry—true modern man treats
his women rough and exalts himself, thus insuring
^Tlfere is cheating at Brevard. The editor is not
concerned with the welfare of the individual who
cheats. If he deprives himself of certain benefits,
if he steals in the highest sense of the word, if that
stealing is from himself, it does not envolve the pro
posal at all. Rather, the editor is concerned with the
representative he will make at the senior college to
which he transfers. He is on the record as a grad
uate of Brevard, and the quality of education he dis
plays will be attributed to Brevard. Therefore, he
lessens the hard-working students’ ckances for admit
tance to that college.
In order for the self-preservation of their own
name, students should inaugurate an honor code.
They should make it lawful and binding with the
penalties administered by the SGA. If some students
have not simple decency, the u'pholding of that
decency is left to those who have.
Lyceum, Chapel And Book Choice
Should Be Students' Policy
Lyceum, Chapel, and the Library are three cam
pus functions that exist primarily for the students’
benefits. Yet all three are run totally by the admin
istration or the faculty. There is no such thing as
a Student Lyceum Committee, nor a Student Chapel
Committee, nor a Student Book Committee. (The
Library’s ibooks are chosen 40% by the staff, and
60% by the Faculty.)
Lyceum and Chapel have not been altogether
uninteresting to the Student Body, but the majority
of the programs and speakers are totally disassoci
ated with youth and their interests. Certainly if the
students had some part in choosing the speakers and
programs, the programs would come closer to gene
rating more than a groan every Wednesday and a
grudging attendance to the cultural series.
As for the Library, most students could tell one
book they wished the Library had, but doesn’t. Books
that interest students are many times more valuable
than books of a heavy treatise nature, regardless of
their so called educational value. Students will learn
by reading a book they want to; whereas, the mind
cannot be forced to wade favorably through a cum
bersome masterpiece.
There is no reason why students should not be
allowed to have a more firm hand in functions that
directly affect them. Education should be not only
an enjoyable process, but also a well-rounded one.

1. If your date does not stand for an introduction, you
stand in hopes that he will follow suit.
2. If your date does not introduce you to his friend,
either quietly tell him that you have not met his
friendly or introduce yourself.
3. If you are at a college social function, introduce
an administrative official or professor by his title.
The use of a title is not required at private social
functions.
4. When introducing a Protestant clergyman title of
Doctor of Divinity; then address him as Doctor.
Never address him as Reverend. The title Rever
end should be used only when Speaking OF a min
ister never when speaking TO a minister.
