Shoplifting Is Issue
Shoplifting is no longer simply a case of pet
ty larceny in North Carolina. It now incurs a penal
ty of from 1 to 3 years imprisonment and/or two to
three thousand dollars fine. Recently there has
been an outbreak of shoplifting in Brevard, ^ree
stores have come to the college about it: Duvall
Drugs, Winn Dixie, and the A & P Store. One of the
two grocery stores has shown certain members ot
the B. C. administration a case where more than
one hundred dollars in merchandise has been stolen
from a Monday through a Thursday. These stores
have informed the college that they will not pro^-
cute, but will turn student offenders over to the
school. If it cannot be bandied there, then subse
quent offenders will be turned over to the local po
lice.
This is not to say that it is only the students
of Brevard College as certain of the townspeople
are among the guilty. However, an increase has
been noticed since the B.C. students returned to the
oam'pus in August. One idea of the administr^ion
has been to appoint student monitors to patrol these
local stores in an effort to cut down on the
curances of shoplifting here in Brevard. WAl
ABOUT IT STUDENTS? IS THIS GOING TO BE
NECESSARY, OR CAN IT BE STOPPED WITH
OUT IT?

Politics Makes Headlines
BY TONY GALVAN
The political interregnum has made it a dif
ficult task to speculate on what course future Amer-
can foreign and domestic policy will take.
The campaign oratory serves to reflect the con
fusion and divisions among the people. Law aM
order, the war in Viet Nam and the draft are all ob
scure issues lost in a maze of rhetoric and emotion
alism.
The slogan of the Wilson admmistration
“Make the world safe for democracy” is scoffed at
or doplored by the elements of isolationism and
peace. ,
“Burn, baby, burn” has replaced “we shall ov
ercome” with the ominous implications of civil war
if not civil rights.
The mood of the country is a combination of
cynicism, idealism and disillusionment where there
is no refuge in apathy.
The personal problem of each elector, howev
er, is distinguishing which candidate seeks to cope
with the issues and which seeks to resolve them.
HELP!!
The Clarion sincerely solicits each student’s
help in attempting to attain its goal — A Student
Orientated Newspaper.
This goal can only come with the full copera-
tion of each student of Brevard College.
What is a student orientated newspaper? A
student orientated 'paper is one of the finest means
of communication and outlets of opinion on any cam
pus, if it is used— The Clarion is not being used for
this, and as a result, the entire student body, the fac
ulty, the administration, and any reader of the
Clarion is suffering, suffering from the TRUTH.
Up until now, the Clarion has presented only a
partial picture of Brevard College. The students
have either kept their desires, rebellions, or approvals
bottled up inside them or they have shared them
with only a few students. It stands to reason that in
order to obtain anything, a group must stand united.
Through the Clarion, you can stand united; but at
the same time, you can voice your opinion, how ever
detrimental to major opinion.
Letters to the editor are a good start.
Let the Clarion hear from you.
IT needs YOUR HELP.

Praises Students
I wish to commend the stud
ent body of Brevard College
for their fane behavior in not
breaking the conltroversial dress
rules even while they objected
so sftrongily to them. The ways
in which their grievaaices were
pnesented were very acceptable
and quite well done.
Any funther suggestions for
chiajiges or need for clarifica
tion should present in writing
to be used by ^4ie committee
wiMoh will make nexit year’s re
visions.
