PAGE TWO THE CLARION November 15, iggg EDITORIAL COMMENTS ☆ ☆ ☆ The Whitewash And the snows came. Thus was the scene both Saturday and Monday on the Brevard College camp us It is true that the snow reigned as one ot the mosx beautiful sights to hit the campus since the issuance of the meal tickets, and the white fluffy flakes sent many students rollicking across campus. But what did the snows do? Did it clear the troubled air floating around the campus for the past couple of months? It all started with the shorts ques tion, but now this seems outdated, for even the most die-hard girl would scoff at the idea of walking aero s front campus in shorts — day or night. The drinking problems, or question as we case may be, also raised many red faces on the BC camp us during the weeks preceding the snows. Will tnis, along with the high question of dope, be dampened with the white crystals silently falling? , Reports of theft in the dorms, lockers, and in the Classroom Building also occurred before the six- pointed crystals slip-ped down from the heavily laden skies. Will this too fail to recur in the future! Will the unspeaking, undoing, nonlasting crystals whitewash the slate clean and put the administratiOTi and student body back on a better base of undeptand- ing and unite them to strive faster and easier toward a common goal?

Nixon Although confident with the success of victory, Richard Nix on will have a difiicuU task of re - uniting the people. His mar gin of viotory, the 26 Illinois elecitoral votes, ind.cates the sharp split of the major politi cal forces. The division of votes between Humphrey, Wallace and Nixon resulted in a narrow miss of a Constitutional crises over who would be elected President. Humphrey swept the Negro and Jewish vote; Wallace, the deep- rooted conservatives; and Nix on the middle - class. These claishing forces must be recon ciled and are foremosit in Nix on’s mind. This is also evident in the post - election speedies of both the leading party can didates. Huim'phrey has miade a call to ‘^get on with the job” of unity and has adimirably endorsed the President - elect. Nixon, accept ing Humphrey’s endorsement has pledged a complete re-aip- praisai of the foreign and do mestic policies causing so much dissension. Nixcti’s outlined proposal of increasing free enterprise in the ghetto is the best and prob ably the only solution to the gheMo problems. This wil al so help to instill pride and civ ic responsibility and meets with the rightful demands of the Neg ro leaders and residents. What his plans are for Viet Nam are to date, unclear, but he has openly supported Presi dent Johnson’s bomibing halt. Contradicftrnig some of the sug gestions of his aides, he did not see the halt as a political ploy to help Humphrey. He has also plediged to co operate with the inoumibent ad ministration in their efforts to settle the war in Viet Naim. In addition he has offered to fly to Paris or Saigon to help move the peace talks from their stale mate. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: Have you ever heard the re sponse of kindergarten age children, who are listening while another child attempts to -pad a story and stutters over some of the words? Immediate ly, one can hear the giggles and snickers coming from under neath the breaths of the other children even though the child is earnestly trying to pronounce the words. Well, this is also the response of many Brevard Col lege students whenever some kdlvidual is expounding his greatest efforts in order to par ticipate in a program. There is only one major dif ference between the reaction of the two groups. The children have not reached the level of maturity where respect has be come second nature. As young adults, we should have reached this level before entering col lege. I think it is rather pathetic when some college students can not distinguish between mo ments intended for serious thought and inner searching. If one feels he has the authority to abase the talents and efforts of others, does the same indi vidual have the nerve to ex amine himself realistically as a man or woman? Who will answer? Sinlerely, Charlotte Lee Any material, other than from CLARION s^ff resources, that is to be printed in the (^ARION must be in the office (Rm. 108 Classroom^ Building) no later than 4:00 p. m. Tuesday for publication the following Friday. The CLARION asks all clubs, or ganizations, departments, and individuals to assist us in this matter. Dear Editor As evidenced by this year, as perhaps in past years, do^, which everyone is interested in, have been a fixlture on campus. A dog to which everyone has come to be attached is Sandy, a part German shepherd, most ly brown, and very soft and cuddly.

Printed by The Transylvania Times, North Broad St., Brevard, N. C. The days ahead will be a time of trial, both for the people and the leaders of the country. The Presidential choice has been made and it is up to the peo ple to reason, compromise and unite so that aM may again pro gress together. For us, the di vision begins at Brevard. We can be apathetic or consitruct- tively concerned, involved or alienated. This question de serves responsible thought. To be unconcerned is to be unin formed; to be uninformed is to be unquestionably controlled. A Time To Build (Continued from Page One) College.

Last Monday when a dog catcher came to tal^e Sandy, some students took up for the little canine. This action was not intended to be cruel to the catcher, but — rather to be fair to the student body. Sandy has acquired the love of stud ents and especially those who have pets at home. Later the same day, a “Save the D'og” fund was esitablished in an attempt to get the neces sary shots and registration for Sandy. Soon, the ilitt^le dog had a new collar with a registration n.uimlber, all at stuident expense. But soon, another problem confronted Sandy and his ad mirers, p€its are not allowed in the dorms. However, the rule does not state that pets aren’t allowed on campus. The stud ents have been told that Sandy cannot be kept. According to the laws of nature, animals find their own protection. The teachers have dogs who roam the campus so why should students be deprived of this pleasure? I The students took the respon- ; ‘■ibility of the dog. This is where *be matter should be left. Will it be? It is up to you, the stud- "’"t body. Dear Editor: I feel, as many student do that the administratioo’s ethical and judicial policies are destrov- ing morale on campus. The concept of justice at Bre vard is unique even to the American ideal. The students as a group are judged and pun ished for individual offenses. All of lUie students did not burn the table in the Student Union, yet all were prohibited from using this facility. All of the residents of Taylor Hall did not steal money, yet all were threatened with being campus- ed. We are being questioned and harrassed for the purpose of revealing information alwut the actions of other students. Generally, we feel that we are under surveillance. A few students have been suibjeoted to ’’Gestapo tactics; their room^ have been thoroughly searched and they have been relentlessly questioned. Is all of this naes- sary? The student patience is being abused. So'mething is wrong at Bre- ' vardi 'both the students and ad ministration are imhappy and angry. From the beginning «f the year, the Brevard social and moral image has been stressed more than the academic image. Everything seeims to be orient ed to the idea that we are all irrespcnsiible; students who are responsible are angry and rest less. I recognize the difficul ties of formulating social policy when there is so much variation in situdent maturity. I can also see that Brevard genuinely cares about individual students, but its concern is overbearing, The college wants to make a model student from a mold of ten years ago. The student today is on its way to becoming more critical and cosmopolitan. Let’s replace pacifying with reason and progress. Sincerely, Tony Galvan Dear Editor Let us look down on and de grade such characters as W. Lea>ry, Allen Ginsberg, the hip pies, and the regular college Joe, who just wants to give « a try for curiosity’s sake. W all smoke pot or drop Shame!
