Brevard University? by emogene eaker The sign iii Hopetofwn, Abaco, Bahamas post - office lead: BREVARD UNIVERSITY will show marine ecology UNDERWRITERS SLIDES at brother BILL’S CHURCH Thursday at 7:30 ADMISSION FREE PUBLIC INVITED The native Bahamiians of Hopetown persisted ia calling the Brevard College Marine Ecology Group the “Brevard University Group.” Being told again and again that the cor rect title was Brevard College made no change in the Hope- towners’ title for the Group. After observation and talk ing with the natives, the group Music Dept.

It was hoipeless to fight it, so for three whole weeks, ten Brevard Col lege situdents were by Hope- towners’ definition, attending | Brevard University. i Young people were scarce in' Hopetown. The population was 1 composed chiefly of older peo ple and middle - age couples with children up to twelve years of age. All the yonmg people who want to go to high school must leave the island and go to Nassau to further their edu cation. From high school they * go on to a university or choose to live elsewhere, rather than to return to the limited oppor tunities of Hopetown. The presence of ten Brevard College students doubled the number of young people on the ] island. Needless to say, the chil-1 dren gravitated to the students. They were puzzled when the | students were always busy; either at collecting, identifying or studying. They stayed around watching and asking questions. Soon many of them knew the soientific names for algae and animals which they had com monly known all their lives. Their curiosity inspired the situdents to work and study ev en harder than before. For the children land the few young people in Hopetown, the presence of the Brevard Col lege Marine Ecology Group was an awakening to what they might he able to achieve in the future. Introducing Miss Ting Of Malaysia College Plans For Annual Religious Week The Brevard College Chris tian Council has begun making plans for the annual Religious Emphasis Week to be held this year March 3-7. Speaker for the week will be Rev. W. W. Finla- tor, pastor of Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh. At their first meeting of the spring semester on Monday, January 22, Chaplain Roy ad viser, suggested that each club and organization on campus take part in the week’s activi ties. Rev. Mr. Finlator is quite ac tive in church and community affairs. At present he is a memiber of the President’s Na tional Committee for Communi ty Service and is a very con troversial figure in the field of civil rights. It is hoped that Mr. Finlator’s presence on the Brevard Cam pus will awaken students to many thoughts and questions facing 'their own and other campuses. Some people may think they had difficulty in returning to school after the holidays—^well after hearing the story of Miss Dina Jong Ping Ting, they may think differently. After leaving her hometown to Sibue Sarawak, Malaysia, and stopping in Kuch ing, Singapore, Kuala Lumper, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Chicago, Lansing, De troit, Atlanta, and Asheville, she and her sister Miss Nancy Ting finally arrived at Brevard twelve days later. Dina, as called by her friends, was influenced to enter Bre vard by her sister who was a former student and is now a math teacher at B.C. The United States held many new experiences for Dina and one of the first was a surprise party given to her by ithe girls -on third floor Jones. Because they don’t celebrate birthdays in Malaysia,, this was Dina’s first birthday party and need less to say, she was surprised. Another new experience for Dana was seeing snow. Food is another major change for her. She misses the Chinese food in Malaysia, but was very well pleased with the taste of coke and potato chips. When asked what she thought of the music here, Dina unhesitantly replied, “wild.” Among Dina’s suibjects are calculus, phys. Ed., ReEgion, Biology (her subject), and English. Dina has studied Eng lish since her first year in school and does not find her school work diifficuit. Dina is very much impressed ; with the people here as she ' describes them “'nice and friend ly.” As compared with Malay sia, she feels the teenagers here have more freedom. After completing her educa tion at Brevard, Dina hopes to enter the University of North Carolina to study medicine. A good representative of her country and an ambitious girl such las Dina will no doubt suc ceed in whatever she strives for. Over the Christmas holiday, Brevard’s Jacquelynn Taylor journeyed to frozen Chicago for the national, annual con vention of the Modem Langu age Association, Dec. 27 - 29. The MLA is one of the most authoritative and influential professional organizations in the country, and ever seeks to improve its expanding institu tional and intellectual develop ment. Conference ses.sions were di vided to include all periods of English and American litera ture, linguisitics, and criticism. Niationally renowned scholars read papers and lead discus sions in their specialized fields. Miss Taylor, out of the many sessions attended, felt especial ly enriched by hearing Irene Samuel speak on Milton, Fred- son Bowers on Shakespeare, Lewis Simpson on William Dean Howells, and Murray Krieger and Northrop Frye on literary criticism. Of particularly relevant sig nificance was the discussion in the general meeting on the de velopment and limportance olf junior colleges. There has seem ed to be, in the past, a some what conciliatory attitude to ward junior college personnel, but it was brought out in this meeting! that junior colleges seem to be fulfilling purposes beyond their original intermed iary goal. Miss Taylor felt proud, as a member of a junior college faculty, to be a part this new and blossoming perspective toward two-year programs. Statistics were cited to show that one lin three freshmen are w n Scholarships Are Now Available The North Carolina Associa tion of Insurance Agents, Inc. of Raleigh, North Carolina, an nounced January 10, that scho larships are avaOable to quali fied students. Originally, only North Carolina resident students who had plans of pursuing a career in insurance were con sidered. However, the firm announced that it has become more in terested in need rather than having students comply with this particular requirement. The scholarship are $500 each and may be obtained by resi dents of North Carolina who plan to remain in school for the full scholastic period covered by the scholarship. Any interested students are urged to contact Dean LaiwLng. Miss Universe Pageant Is A Big Success Last Saturday night Brevard College students enjoyed a magnificent display of beauty and talent at the “Miss Uni verse” Pageant held in Dun ham Auditorium. The contest, sponsored by the B.S.U., was held to raise funds for LISTEN, a foundation for underpriviledg- ed children. Judges for the pageant were the renowned Hedda Hopper (Mrs. Sigmon), Twiggy (Miss Taylor), and Steve Allen (Mr. Joe Dixon.) They certainly had difficulty in judging the con testants, some of the Col lege’s lovliest male students, who chose costumes typical of their na,tive lands. As M.C. Ann Sessions introduced them, each of the “girls” entertained grace fully. Miss Russia (Rex Tay lor) who stole the show with first place, dressed in stunning red tights, a striped overshirt, and a red bow for her hair. Miss Continental U.S.A. (Wayne Morton) was next, wearing a mini dress accented by black boots. Appearing third was Miss Spain (Randall Garren), wear ing dainty white ruffles and bell - bottom pants. Miss Mars (Ronnie Whittington) shocked viewers with green skin. Miss Scotland (Jerry Page) dress^ appropriately in a plaid skirt enrolled in junior colleges across the U.S. 75% of which eventually complete a four-year degree. It was felt that, in view of the increasing student popu lation and diversity, the junior colleges are successfully at tempting to guide more help fully these students because of their ability to treat them more individually. In conclu sion, it was hoped that junior colleges would continue to mul tiply, and existent ones continue to develop successfully their individual responsibilities. Besides scheduled sessions and meetings, the Association provided for exhibits, sponsor ed by publishing and audio-vis ual firms. Some 200 booths in- interestingly displayed new teaching techniques, printed ma terials in series, methods for motivating creativity, and gen eral reading absorption. Social ly speaking, Miss Taylor thoro ughly enjoyed meeting a small percentage of the several thous and delegates attending. Com fortable conversations intro duced exchanges of various schools’ operating procedure ideas, course contents, and faculty standards. Department chairmen being human beings, preferences for fried oysters, frustrations of personal pub lication, and preparations for vacation trips were also thoroughly discussed. The Association of Depart ments of English also met in conjunction with ithe MLA, so the ADE representatives were ever - present. Thus, through these chairmen, new ideas of administrative innovations and procedures were exchanged and evaluated. In all, the conven tion afforded intellectual grow th, administrative exchange, and institutional understand ing. The highlight of the confer ence for Miss Taylor, as she is also concerned with drama, was the production, in the round, of two sections of the Towneley Cycle of Mystery Plays. 'The actors, sponsored by the Poculi Ludique of the Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto, spoke in Middle English and present ed the sections of the cycle con cerned with Cain and Abel, and Noah’s Ark. Besides being intellectually stimulating, the play was just supremely well- done, in dramatically corres ponding to the humorous psy chology of its time. It climax ed an enjoyable, helpful, and motivating convention of the MLA. and white blouse. Miss Guate- miala (Bill Buck) was modestly dressed with a brown skirt and scarf. Miss France (John Ir win) beautified the stage next wearing a green satin dress with a low cut back, and smok ing a sexy cigar. Miss England (Stan Tesh) wore a blue and white polkadot dress, net stockings and pink garters. And Miss Hawaii (Dub Tullar), swayed into view wearing a grass skirt topped with a lei. Talent varied from songs to dances to a chalk talk. Enter tainment was also supplied by local talent indxiding a band at intermission.
