College Students
Deserve Respect
All across the United States, profepors, teach
ers students, and administration officials are
fng^hei? breath to see what the new academic year
will bring in the field of student revolts and demands.
The air is tense and the atmosphere is one of antici-
pation.R^t of all the demands students have
made in the past several years? Have they been ta
en by the college officials, rebuked and then cast
Aside? For the most part, the ansvs^er is a simple no.
College officials have indeed taken an inter
est in the gripes of their students and have been
working on their problems. Out of this have come
many new advantages for students. It has, in some
instances, caused some colleges to shake off the
shackles that have bound them in the past decades
and have brought them roaring into the complex so
ciety of the twentieth century. _
For other colleges, the change is still occur
ring, but at a more subdued pace. At these colleges,
there are seldom the mass demonstrations, the riots,
the sit-ins, or the take over of the administr^ion
buildings. But, there is still a prevalent atmosphere
of change. . ,
Whether the change comes forcibly, or
through the slower channels of legislation, it is still
good. All of the changes are granting the students
more rights as maturing, young adults.
Although the recognition has been slow in
coming, we are glad to see that leaders of the older
generations have come to realize that whether a man
is carrying the tools of education on a college cam
pus or the tools of war in a foreign country, be de
serves the respect of a man and not the reproof of
being an overgrown child.
One In A Series
We are now in the new education building
that has been named the McLarty - Goodson Class
room Building and for the most part, the students
and faculty of Brevard College seem more than just
pleased. It is not just a step up in the education op
portunities offered here at the College, but indeed
it is a leap forward. ^
The new facility was among the list ot new
buildings that was 'proposed by the late president,
Dr. Eimmett K. McLarty, Jr. Included in that list are
buildings that have ibecome a part of the lives the
students here at the College. These include Beam
Dormitory, the Administration Building, the Science
Building, the Cafeteria, and the Library. Each and
6VGry onG' of th6S6 Buildings ar-o visit6d and used by
student, faculty, and staff alike and have played
an important role in the daily lives of these people.
It is to the hopes and dreams of the late
president that we can attribute these new buildings
iand we should remember him occasionally for giv
ing us these new educational advantages.

A NEW DAWNING

Dear Editor
It has come to my attention
that many students are asking
the question, “What can I do to
relieve the pressure of study
ing all the time?” After attend
ing the intramural meeting
held Monday night, I am con
cerned that participation in it
would be a worthwhile answer.
Under the direction of Coach
Burch and student director
Ralp Lundy, I am confident
this will be a successful year in
intramurals at Brevard College.
They are capable people but
the fate of the intramural pro-
or . . •
potential, and I hope that with
the new president, the college
can continue to move forward
even through difficult times.
Thank you again. By the way,
State accepted 66 of my hours
from Brevard.
Sincerely yours,
(Name withheld upon re
quest.)
Dates For Yearbook
Pictures Are Set

lote, the official yearbook for

alone. Rather ,it lies in the
hands of every male student at
Brevard College. Only if every
student participates can we
have a successful program.
They are offering rugged sports
such as flag football, cross
country, track, basketball and
softball. However, if you are
physically unable to participate
in these, there are also table
tennis and eight-ball tourna
ments.
So as a fellow student at Bre
vard College, I urge you to
support the intramural pro
gram and see your I-M manager
and sign up for some event.
This way you will not be faced
with the question, “What do I
do to relieve the pressure?”
You will have already found
the answer.
Sincerely yours,
Randall Essick

Millers Return
To Music Dept,
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Miller
have returned to the Depart
ment of Music here at Brevard
College.
The Miller’s first came to
Brevard in the fall of 1960. Mr,
Miller then had an A. B., a b!
M., and an M.A. degree from
the University of North Caro
lina at Chapel Hill. He had a
double major, voice and piano,
and a minor in violin. Mrs. Mil
ler had a Bachelor of Music
from UNC in piano and in or
gan.
While here, Mr. Miller taught
voice, piano, and music theory.
His wife was for two years sec
retary to the music faculty, and
gave private piano lessons. He
also directed the Glee Club for
four years, and the Civic
Chorus for two. Mrs. Miller ac
companied the Civic Chorus for
two years, and worked with the
youth and Junior Choirs of the
Methodist Church.
The talented couple began
further graduate study at In
diana University, Bloomington,
Indiana, in the fall of 1967. She
completed her M. A. in organ,
and he is presently a candidate
for a PhD. in composition, with
voice as his major performance
areas.
Mr. Miller is now teaching
private voice, private piano, and
music appreciation, and is di
rector of the Glee Club. Mrs.
Miller teaches private organ
and voice, and sophomore key
board harmony. She is also or
ganist - director of the Chancel
Choir of the First United Meth
odist Church.
Mr. Miller received his high
school diploma from the School
of the Blind in Raleigh. Be
cause of his restricted vision, he
has developed fantastic acumen
in memorizing music, and just
about everything else. Although
he was aided by Mrs .Miller in
his last years of undergraduate
and graduate research, his com
position for the Ph.D. degree
was composed and transcribed
entirely independently.
The Millers have two little
girls, eight and five, and live
on Morningside Drive here in
Brevard.

Dear Dean Whicker:
This is just a note of thanks
to all of the people at Brevard
who gave me the chance to
find where I was going as well
as what I was capable of achiev
ing. I have transferred to N.
C. State, and using the discip
line of study that I acquired
while at Brevard, I am doing
well.
Brevard provides academic
standards that help kids pull
through the jump from high
school to a university. Although
there are excellent teachers
here, nothing can replace that
personal approach that Brevard
is deservingly known for.
Brevard still has even more

the new team sport.
Flag football and, basketball
still remain to be the most com

sports that have been played
for several years are volley
ball, a cross - country and track
meet and a six mile relay. In
dividual competition will in
clude ping - pong, eight ball,
tennis and badminton.
With all the various sports,
there is a great deal of room
for one to participate in the
sport of one’s interest. There
seems to be a lot of spirit and
rivalry in the different dorm
floors.
