Each season of gift - giving
me hear over and over again
the lament for the perscin “who
has everything. Here i^ a list
compiled exclusively few the
man or woman vv^ho does not
have everything.
For the person you know who
does not have self - confidence,
who lacks his share of the out
rageous egotism so often neces
sary for success today, our gift
suggestion is — compliment.
Give the big giant - size compli
ment that comes fWicked in ad
jectives and (^oiiitains the extra
ingredient of appreciation. The
only cost of this inexpensive
item is a little insight and a
lot of inaigiination. And it’s a
gift you can give over and over
again.
For the person you know who
doesn’t have compansionship,
give a visit. The carefree, un
expected, do-it-yourself brand
of visit, prompited by no organ
ization, boxed in good news and
wrapped in happy re.miniscence.
This particular present costs a
small amount of time and a
large amount of concern for
others. You can shape it to any
length and size you like.
For the individual on your
Faculty Pu blication
Is Due In January
list who does not have joy, our
catalogue proposes a gift of
laughter. This is a very costly
item. It comes wrapped in the
tinsel of self - forgetfulness,
tied wiith bright ribbons of
awareness. The more of this
precious commodity you give
away, the more you have left.
Laughter costs selfishness and
pomposity, and to keep it you
must s'hare it.
For the friend who no long
er has hope, and faith. This
does not come in an economy
pack, only the king size counts.
Even then you cannot give any
part of it away until you have
accepted it yourself. The gen
uine article comes wrapped in
flesh and blood and the down
payment is your life. If you
have this wealth to share with
others, it’s the shining gift to
hatig at the top of the tree.
And for every acquaintance
remember the debonair Maurice
Chevalier’s credo; “I smUe at all
the girls. If they’re pretty, it
makes me feel good; If they’re
not pretty, if makes thm feel
good!”
No one has everything. There
is something only you can give.

most 90% of the student body
signed a petition stating their
dismay over the new shorts
rule. Now is the time to do
something!!
In March the committee vnll
complete their work. The re
visions that the committees de
cide on will be voted toy the
facility and students. If the re
visions are passed by a major

March, not a year later.
It is easy to cut down Bre
vard and sometimes even just-
ifiahly so, but now is not the
time to cut down but to build
up and construct a new Bre
vard. There are many students,
faculty and admin isitrators who
are giving freely of their time
to help us and the future of
Brevard Colleige. To these peo
ple each student owes thanks
and has a respons;iibility to help
them help us.

To me this is learning.
As you can see, my outlook
ultimately values the same
thing that youi-s does: experi
ence. The only difference is
that I value my own experience
above the experience of others.
If this college would allow its
students to experience and con
sequently to learn, then I think
that it would not have to be
so concerned with its requta-
tion. Puiblicity for a college, it
seems to me, can only be ad
verse when the college is not
do.:ng its job. , ,
This is only my opmion,
though. What I have said may
not be how anyone else feels
aibout this issue. I am certam
that everyone could not live un
der my personal philosophy,
but I can and will. In my ideal
ism I hone that other students
will be allowed to form their
philosophies and that they will
not need a school to be their
conscience. .
Let me thank you again lor
The usual Christmas course
in Marine ecology will hot be
offered this year. Last year, the
course included a trip to the
Bahamas for three weeks dur
ing which students studied life
in the troiphics.
The shortage of biology ma
jors in the sophomore class
partially accounts for the can
cellation of the trip. There were
only five students in the begin
ning of the year that showed
interest in the course. As the se
mester progressed, three of the
five dropped out because of
personal or academic reasons.
The admiinistration did not
deem the trip profitable for two
people. Marine ecology will be
offered again next year, though,
if enough studemts generate in;
tGr6st *
Mrs. Potts, biology and zo
ology instructor, teaches marine
ecology. The course is worth
three credit hours and covers
the first three weeks of Christ
mas vacation. The cost of the
trip is $350. Students last year
enjoyed the course, and pros
pective freshmen should see
Mrs. Potts ahout next year’s
trip.
your time and interest. I think
that by discussion of our prob
lems we are at least headed to
ward solving them.

“Brevard College is one of
the few junior colleges in the
South that publishes any facul
ty publication,” stated Mrs. Nell
Hines Harris, Editor of The Bre
vard College Faculty Publica
tion.
The puiblioation is the result
of a requesit made by the late
President E. K. McJLarty and
the Board of Trustees. Mrs.
Harris was appointed editor at
this time. Her duties included
the task of gathering, sorting,
and organizing the material for
each edition.
The first edition of the pub
lication was released in 1967,
and was circulated to all United
Methodist libraries in the Unit
ed States, all major libraries in
North Carolina, and friends of
the c(rf.l©ge.
Published every two years,
the publication contains his
torical essays, poems, drawings,
short stories, and original man
uscript music. Any present or
past member of the faculty may
contribute his work, said Mrs.
Harris.
The second edition will be re
leased in January. It will con
tain two historical essays, a
short story, several poems,
drawings, a musical composi
tion, and a eulogy to the late
Dr. McLarty.
An editorial committee ap
pointed by the administration
is responsible for most of the
work on the publication. The
•x>mmittee for the forth - com-
ng edition includes Mrs. Nell
Hines Harris; Mrs. Sarah Aikins;
Or. Leslie German; Miss Joan
