He was President of the Fresh men Class second semester last year, and was elected to his present position; at the end O'f the spring semester. One of hiis utmost concerns as S.G.A. president is to incorporate bet ter communication between the students and the Student Gov ernment. TheSGA, he says, should not degenerate to the level of a puppet organization, with the administration pulling all of the strings.

VOTE FOR dawn lewis SECT. — TREAS. FRESHMAN CLASS The Haunted MiU Art Gal lery is now open and will be open until September 15. The present structure was restored in 1966, but the earliest struc ture dates back to the colonial period. The Haunted Mill Art Gal lery accomodates original works of art by contributing artists, many world renowned. Also on display are various crafts and sculpture. The gallery held a summer workshop for interest ed artists and craftsmen this summer June 15 to September 15. Details about enrolling for next summer may be obtained at the gallery. Located on the old Cherokee Indian Trail which meandered from the French Broad River along Big Willow Creek, across Echo Mountain, up to Jump-Off, the site of the Old MiU was the favorite camping grounds of the Cherokee Indians. Here they pounded their corn and water ed their horses. Here, too, by the sparkling waterfalls of the VOTE patty GORDON SECRETARY OF SOPHOMORE CLASS Old Mill race, they paused to play and bathe in the silvery waters of Willow Creek. Some say the ghost of Wil low Creek is the spirit of a Cherokee Indian who haunts his favorite hunting ground. Some say it is the Indian lover of the maiden who leaped from Jump-Off rock. Is it a moon- shadow? A country myth? Th^ unimaginative laugh and say there is no ghost at all, but the ol’ timers of Big Willow do not scoff. They know when the moon is full and there is trouble in the valley; the Ghost still roams along the old mill stream. The looked doors of the old mill quietly open, and voices whisper softly above the roaring waiters. The Haunted Mill is located about twelve miles from the BC campus toward Hendersonville rn Highway 64. Turn right at Cummings Road and continue for 2V2 miles. Turn left and continue for V2 mile to Old Mill on Willow Creek. VOTE FOR BRUCE ARMES PRESIDENT SOPHOMORE CLASS With the beginning of the school year the Biology depart ment has adapted to the fast pace that comes with every new year. Already, biology students are learning about the basic scientific facts that gov ern all living things. During the lab sessions, students will be proving these facts for them selves. They will also be using these various facts to formulate conclusions based on their ob servation. Next week’s lab will be an observation of various cells. Under the microscope, stud ents will see the general setup of the smallest living part of an organism, the cell. This is called morphology, the study of cells, and it is the first part in any biology course. Mrs. Potts is handling the on ly zoology section for any sop homores that are making anoth er attempt at the course. It will be run in the same manner that it was last year. Labs and lectures will first be concern ed with lower forms of life and move gradually upward until zoology students wiU be study ing the organic system of man. Cne innovation to the Biol ogy Department is the piux^hase of lab utensils, by the students, rather than having them sup plied by the departmenit. This was done because dissecting equipment was misused last year, and it’s always safe to as sume that one takes better care of what is his than of what belongs to another. All labs have been .scheduled from 1:00 to 4:00 this year. This is probably welcomed by most students because it leaves a little time before dinner for any extra - curricular activi ties. Lab instructors and as sistants also welcome the free time. Progress is wonderful. The man who started smoking when he got out of high school now has a son who quits when he gets out. Many discoveries are made by accident, such as finding cobwebs on the ceiling while gargling. Austin Art Shop YOUR PHOTO AND RECORD CENTER 11 EAST MAIN STREET 883-2125 BREVARD, N. C.
