®ttonal fag? PAGE TWO THE CLARION February 16, 1968 Art Contest ! Zen Den To Feature Hobbits Is Announced "Games People Play" When waiting in line in the cafeteria during a hectic lunch hour, there are several things one may do to occupy the time. One of our favorite pastimes is counting the tiles on the cafeteria floor. This is really a great time - 'passer, because it is quite a challenge to count the tiles amidst the forest of table and chair legs, not to mention the human ones. Another boredom breaker of no less amusement is timing people through the line. One starts his jtopwatch (or second hand on a wrist watch) when a student picks up his tray. The clock is allowed to run until he steps past the cash register, tray loaded with food. We have found that it takes the average eater exactly one minute to proceed from the tray stand to the cash register. If the above tricks fail to arouse your interest, we have one which is bound to delight you, and which will provide you with many hours of enjoy ment while waiting in the column of shrunken stomachs: trying to incite people to drop their trays! This is really the best one of all, in our opinion. As a student (or faculty member) steps from behind the partition at the cash register, one yells something such as, “Look out, you’re gonna drop it!” or better Btill, “Watch out, there’s a tarantula in your jello!” Of course, you can probably think of some better ones, but you are welcome to use ours. As We Were Saying— Here we go with the old gripe, “Is there no school spirit left on campus?” Well, we’re beginning to wonder, no joke. What has happened to all of EC’s school spirit? Has it been drubbed into silence by the fists of defeat? Has it been smothered under by the awesome requirements of the BC six-day week? Or is it the students? For some reason, students are not identifying with the school. Why, we can’t say. There is simp ly just a general disinterest in events which require walking down to the gym and blowing one’s cool for two hours. There is no simple solution, no remedy to be found in the confines of a 1:15 assembly. The answer lies within the individual student, and what he feels about his college. I This year the Sixth Annual Student Art Competition is be ing jointly sponsored by the Erdahl - Cloyd Union Gallery Committee and the Presbyter ian Campus Ministry. It is expected that this com petition will be greater this year than in all the previous ompetitions. Two prominent art experts will be judges for the com petition: Mr. Eugene Myers, Dean of the Corcoran School of :^rt in Washington, D. C. and Mr. Gudmund Vigtel from the nigh Museum of Art in Atlanta, >'"eorgia.

April 12 — Not responsible for work left after April 12 Certainly James McNeill Whistler never expected his mother to be flashed on a wall and illuminated by red, green, and yellow lights. Although she did rather frown when people began a Dionysiac rite in her presence, Mrs. Whistler soon joined in by ever so gently tap ping her right foot. Happenings do not occur of ten at Brevard and when they do they are usually the result of a group of people known as ’n?lo-Cats. In an effort to supplement but never replace I)be active social life offered ’ly this area and its environs, the ZEN DEN is opened about '>- ery other week by the Anglo- Cats. Formed by a merger of the C^nnterbury Club (Anglo) and *he Newman Club (Cat), the Anglo - Cats sponsor the ZEN DEN to prove inconspicously Pres. McClarty Advocates The Seminar (Editor’s Note: The memo be low was written by President McLarty in response to last week’s editorial on the extra curricular seminar. Needless to say, we are very pleased with the President’s reply.) February 10, 196P Dear Steve: Thank you very much for “Faculty Overtime?” You have Dointed up a fine opportunity that the College needs to pur sue. I am glad to say that con siderable thought has already been given to employing the seminar on a voluntary basis. Sincerely, Emmett McLarty what Do We Stand For? that Christianity is not as stale as a lot of people thint- From such places as San Francisco, Los Angeles, D c New York, etc., comes the au thentic psychedelia which i« the ZEN DEN. While the Anglo- Cats are certain that Dr. Leary would scoff at their efforts they do manage to blow a few fuses at times. The ZEN DEN is not now and has never been a money mak ing project. Indeed, it has al- ways been a money losing pro. ject. The Anglo-Cats are out to give every one on campus a good time regardless of how much their creditors scream. February 24, around 9:00 P. M., the ZEN DEN will again open its mind expanding doors —this time to let in J.R.R. Tol kien and his Hobbits from Mid dle Earth. A contest is under way to find out what a Hobbit really looks like. Using any medium create your own Hob- bit and you might win a ma- *hom. Watch for further de tails. NEWS NOTES Chemistry students will be required to witness the total oibliteration of Little Mountain on February 24. Also taking part in the demonstration will be an atomic bomb. Reports had recently been filtering into Asheville police department concerning a large, grotesque object which had been terrorizing the Biltmore section. Further investigation revealed the culprit to be the Brevard College biis. You’re young — you seek a purpose You question things— You wonder And suddenly — you find. You’re old — you’ve lost that purpose Your questions have beer answered ... Py the transparency of truth You don’t wonder—you know Today is never yesterday; It will never be tomorrow It’s now— >nd now belongs to you. Your purpose is tomorrow Something to chase— And never catch. Because that purpo'se is grow ing up. Betty James A Note On Tennis Perhaps it’s our enthusiam for tennis showinf^ through, but we’d like to see some improvement made in the tennis courts. Lines need to be repaint ed; backdro'ps are sorely missed. The tennis team is already practicing for what should be a fine sea son. However, with facilities inferior to some of the other squads in the conference, it is doubtful that the BC players will ever develop to fulfill their potential. We hope improvement will not be long in arriving.
