Outing Club
To Be Formed
Both Mr. Toby Ives and his
wife have had a great deal of
experience with various out-
ide sports, and they have con
sented to form an Outmg Club
here at the College.
The outings will commence
in the Spring when Mr.
will have more time.. He
has suggested such canoemg
sports as shooting rapids, tub
ing rapids or just plain survival
in rapids.
Persons interested in these
should be swimmers, although
they must wear a life preserver
whether he knows how to swim
or not. Swimming instruction
will be held in Brevard’s swim
ming pool.
Other outings will be such
things as horse back riding and
Rock and Mountain Climbing.
These outings will be conduct
ed during weekends since there
are no Saturday classes.
During Easter vacation a
sailing and diving paradise out
ing is planned. This will be
held in Florida, with the sailing
enthusiasts wallowing or beat
ing and tacking at quay Largo
and Miami, Florida.
There will be reef scuba div
ing and snorkling off of the
coast for those who are able
and instruction for the not so
able.
The weekend trips should
cost in the area of $10 to $15.
The East vacation trip in
Florida will run in the vicinity
of $25 - $30 if enough students
are interested. These prices
will include food and transpor
tation.

New CB Nears Completion
With Cost Near $500,000
ing is air - conditioned, which
makes attending classes a more
pleasurable experience during
the hot days of fall and spring.
Furnishings for the new
building are expected to be
complete sometime this week.
A rear screen projection facili
ty in lecture classes is one as
set with which the faculty is
well pleased. Also, a new lang
uage lab, full equipped, will
have a place in the new build
ing.
The Old CB has been ordered
razed by the Board of Trustees
of the College. In short, the
building will be torn down. As
of now, no future building plans
have been released by the
Board.
Within the next week, Bre
vard College officials anticipate
the completion of the McLarty-
Goodson Classroom Building,
with an approximate cost esti
mated at $500,000.
Construction on the new
building started last spring and
was included in a series of
buildings that have been built
on the College campus due to
the building program that was
introduced by the late college
president, Dr. Emmett K. Mc-
Larty. The new educational fa
cility is named for him.
The new building encompass
es twice the space of the old
Classroom Building and it also
provides individual office space
for faculty members.
The central core of the build
would be passed. The final
breakdown of the votes gave
the favorable margin of 354
votes for and five votes against.
The voting followed a Wed
nesday morning assembly in
Dunham Auditorium in which
the Constitution Committee
members were open for ques
tions from the student body
concerning the constitution.
Only a few questions were
posed by the students, and it
was feared by many of the mem
bers that the students were
not interested in the proposal
and would not bother to vote.
This doubt was quickly erased
with the first returns of the eve
ning.
Members of the Constitution
Committee worked during the
summer and also during the
first two weeks of school in
readying the propsal for the
students. Members of the Com
mittee are Gaines Bowers, Ken
Eaton, Keith Holland, Kerry
Kille, Mack King, Dean L. H.
Lawing, D. J. Padgett, Maureen
Scott, Ron Smith and former
history professor, Richard Wil
son.
The voting was done in the
A. J. Myers Cafeteria and was
held during the lunch hours.
Due to a lack of majority of
the student body passing on the
proposal, the voting was extend
ed to include the dinner hours
also.

tions for themselves.
One of the major changes in
the Constitution is the almost
complete separation of the so
cial department, called the So
cial Board, and the student leg
islature. The new Social Board
will act independently of the
Student Government Associa
tion (SGA).
Another new creation that
has been formed through the
passage of the new Constitution
is the Student Legislature. This
new organization removes the
majority of the student voice
from the president of the SGA
and switches it to the Legisla
ture. The Legislature is model
ed after the United States form
of government, The Congress,
and will work on the same gen
eral principles.
