PAGE TWO THE CLARION Sep tember 21 1968 EDITORIAL COMMENTS ☆ ☆ THE QUESTION Bill Rankin This issue of dress rules and so forth has brought to the surface an interesting view of opinions and at titudes of both students and administration here. This, I think, is more significant than the issue it self, which is actually very trite. The fact that students are now taking the initia tive to express their opinions and stand up for a cause may be indicative of a new trend on campus. The students are no longer willing simply to accept the decrees of the administration. They must be shown reason and logic before they submit to rules and pol icies. This is certainly not an original attitude; but, like last month’s movies, it is new to Brevard. That students do question is a tribute to the college in that it shows that they are being taught to think. This could be good or bad for the institu tion (depending on one’s point of view). The col lege may now be forced to decide how far it is wil ling to progress. Is it willing to discard outmoded ideas, attitudes, rules and other relics of the past? Will it be oriented to the conscience of the church or to the needs of the students? Will it become a part of the real world or remain isolated in this “magic valley” where perspective has a way of dis appearing? As the demand for colleges to change to demand for students, these questions should be considered by Brevard College. It’s Your Move, Students! (ACP) — Students can do little to correct the inadequacies of faculty and administration, but they can take positive action in one area — and it’s the students’ move in the academic game ,says the Camp us Chat, North Texas State University, Denton. That area is individual philosophy and attitudes —attitudes not only toward scholarship and educa tion per se but also toward these elements as a means to a more rewarding and meaningful life. Creative learning and research by the student go hand-in-hand with creative teaching by the pro fessor. Far too often the dialogue method must be rejected because, as one professor observed, the only thing he could do was drill a hole in students’ heads and pour in the material. The observation is an overstatement, but its basis is alarming valid. The administration and board of regents have recently indicated a willingness to broaden academic horizons. The board is studying plans for profes sional programs in engineering, pharmacy and social work as well as doctoral degrees in history, English and math and a performance doctorate in music. Student laziness and a dullard attitude cannot be abided in thel light of these announcements. It would be tragic if the progress of this uni versity were halted by a student-faculty-administra- tion impasse in which each waits stubbornly for the other to make the first 'progressive move. Such sil ly games, played by minds fettered with preconceiv ed rules and regulations, cannot be won by anyone. The administration seems to have its first move academically. Who will move next?

We are through with the strife The old clock of time Is about run down, It will soon cease to chime For it cannot be wound. We sit in the gloaming Of the sun in the west. Far behind is the roaming What a wonderful rest. At the end of the way No regrets and no sorrow. What a wonderful day Awaits us tomorrow. Sometimes it was stormy More oft it was fair. Sometimes the road thorny, But we did not dispair. Life’s evening sun Is sinking fast. Our race is run What ra'pture at last. When the sand is running low The day’s end is near, It is wonderful to know We have nothing to fear. For we have trusted the Lord And His power to save. And lived by his word And the commandments He gave. —Transylvania Times The Brevard College chap ter of the S5SIEA and BEST needs students to help tutor in the elementary schools of Brevard.

The Hot Line [Lasit week a Student asked if I had a hoit line to God by whicih I was going to call and ask what to do abo.ut our prob lems. Yes, I have a hot line. So does everyone else. It is a direct connection from here to the greatest force in the universe. It costs nothing ia terms of m,oney. One may call from any place, any time of the day or night free of charge. The name of tlhe phone com pany that runs the hot line is the Holy Spirit. The phone it self is prayer. But even) with ithis line open, we so often fail to use it. With all tlhe troubles our world has, we don’t even take the time to pick up the receiver. The need for pnayer is great Our friends, brothers, and fel low Americans are fighitinig in a foreign country so that we might have the right to live in a free land and study at a school suoh as this. A national eleotion is coming up which will determ-inie the future pol icies of our coumtry. The needs at Brevard Col lege are many: a new Presi dent, a united studeTit fellaw- sbip working in the ioterest of the College and for a better fu- All of these needs and more can be answered at the other end of the boit line. But how do we call, and whait do we say to the operator? If we really want to call, we do not need to be eloquenit; we need only to be honest. Let us pour out our feelings to the operator, .lesus Chrisit; and when we make a oonnedbion with God, the answers will come. Don’t ex pect the answers then and there. The answers will come in our everyday lives. W pray this way through the hot line to God, we wUl toe aible to feel his influeince upon U5 when we make decisions. Our influence through the hot line will spread over the earm. I am convinced that it is the prayers of a few faithful p^ pie that keep this world on the move. If we all unite in pray" er, the face of the world could change from bate to love. Are we not all guilty of fai ■ ing to pick up the phone talk on the hot line? The op erator is waiting. to attention STUDENTS Students are reminded of the state law that the presence of animus i an eating establishment. Brevard students are , to help the school officials comply with this law.
