Davis. With the greatest confidence in our new President, we can stand as sured that our alma mater, during, the coming era, ■will experience progress and improvement that will make it an even greater institution than it is today. Being young and vigorous, Mr. Davis is assuming his tasks as president with finesse that relatively spark les with determination. The very impact of Mr. Davis’ personality suggests a dynamic vitality that will truly be a magnificent asset to the tasks he faces as a college president. As the highest admin istrative authority at Brevard College, Mr. Davis is continuously aware of the students and their needs. He also displays a genuine concern for each stud ent as an individual in the college community. Most certainly in the coming years President Davis vvill seek to shorten the gap between the administration and the students. Tomorrow, our new President will be inaugurat ed. Tomorrow will be President Davis’ day. Among his thoughts on such a sincere, momentous, and hap py occasion will likely b-e those that recall former hon ors he has received and esteemed positions he has held. Likely among his thoughts will be his aspira tions as the President of Brevard College and his hopes for the growth of this institution. In every position he has held, President Davis has performed with excellence. As the sixth Presi dent of Brevard College he will continue to perforin with excellence. He will fully realize and^ m^t the demands he faces as President of the admmistration and as President of each and every student. As students, we can express in part, our grati tude for the work President Davis is doing this year and for the tasks he will perform in _the_future. We can do so by accepting a special invitation to attend his inauguration at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon in Boshamer Gymnasium. Let us all salute our new President as he leads Brevard College on to new and better things in this Age of Aquarius.

Dear Student Body, I want to announce my can didacy for President of the Student Government Associa tion. Although I am new to politics, I can see where I want to make some improvements. I would like to lead SGA into be ing a more effective and vocal organization on campus. I think SGA would offer help ful criticism in the following areas: 1. I would like to see some changes in the General Cul tural programs. Students should not have to go tQ so many pro grams, and the speakers should be more controversial in na ture. Why can’t we have speak ers on more radical topics such as the population explosion, the Southern Christian Leader ship Conference, the John Burch Society, and the Students For a Democratic Society that would rock the boat and arouse student interest. I also think it would be more stimulating if students were sot punished for not attending Cliltural Pro grams. I would like to suggest that students be given quality points for attendance at pro grams rather than losing credit for not attending. 2. I think students should be more clearly informed about the operation of the Judicial Board. The students should know about the Student Legal rights, cross examination pro cess, and the due process of law. 3. The Faculty advisors sys tem at Brevard needs improve ment and organization. I think advisors should know what they’re talking about concern ing a student’s requirements and courses. 4. I think Brevard could pro fit from having a faculty eval uation. The SGA could help sponsor the evaluation. 5. I think there should be student representation on im portant faculty committees such as the Academic Standards and Admissions Committee, the Fi nancial Aid Committee, the Library Committee, and the Development Committee. Mature students can offer constructive suggestions. If the College is ever going to make Brevard students mature, it will have to give them the chance to exercise their maturity through responsibility. The SGA can continue to be an important part of the col lege. I would like to try to achieve my stated goal and others for the betterment of ev erybody. Sincerely, Reginald McAfee or to grow in strength and know- Dear Editor, ledge. Early last month, Yung Hwan was promoted to third grade of senior high school which is the highest grade. Since he is now in the graduating class, he is keeping busy to complete his high school education well and to prepare for his advance to college early next year if pos sible. He hopes to learn many new lessons this year. The Yoon family is living at the same place where they liv ed last year. And the boy’s mother, Mrs. Yoon works as a laborer, and she strives hard to support her family. She usual ly does knitting when there is no work to do. Yung Hwan’s 22- year old sister Yung Ai got married and so she does not live with them. During the past one year .their income has been somewhat steady but Mrs, Yoon said it has not increased. Yung Hwan’s 14-year old sisters Yung Sook and Yung Soon are attending their school well. The Yoon family is needy, and so we hope you will con tinue your good help for Yung Hwan’s education. I Miss Haejung Yoo Case Worker Recently a number of third floor Taylor residents receiv. ed notices of payment for damage done to their doors Two of the doors had to be re placed. Most of the doors were reparable and residents were charged accordingly. I received a bill for $2.50 and a notice stating that if I did not pay for the damages done to my door, I would not be allowed to take final exams. My question is an obvious one! Why should several persons have to pay for the irresponsi bility of one or more individu als? If we are being charged to learn a lesson,” I would hasten to say it is a senseless and fu tile method. Suppose the in dividual (or individuals )at fault was a visitor from another dorm or a weekend guest. My money is too valuable to pay for someone’s *kicks,’'' and I am not about to become a recluse spending every minute of my time guarding a door. Sincerely, Greg Burhn and residents of third floor Taylor eflections BY PAUL SIMS EDITOR Sponsor: Brevard College; The Students Greetings from Korea, Dear Sponsors. We believe that all of you are fine and well and hope that the year ahead will bring you many blessings. We are glad to report to you that your assistance in the past one year has continuously played an im portant role for -the education and development of your spon sored Korean student, Yung Hwan Yoon. The aid gave Yung Hwan the wonderful opportuni ty to enjoy the good school life making it possible for him Memories are such wonder ful things. You cherish them because they’re in the past and never to be again. Some of them you love because they are such good and happy ones. Others you can’t love because they are bad, and you will never let them repeat their effects again. All of them you cherish be cause they are shadows of cir cumstances that determined your life and only yours. With only your memories of a former time in your life when with eagerness and im patience you anticipated adult hood, you now find yourself at the point where that childish anticipation is fulfilling itself at a drastic speed. As your childhood fantasies of the “grown up” world encounter reality, you find that the en suing conflict is creating a soulful burden on your spirit and on your peace of mind. No longer can you rest easy in the bosom of your family or in the security of your childhood dreams. Your future is staring you harshly and directly in the face. The primary thing you have to stare back with is your intellect. Your memories, how ever, can suffice to amuse you. Memories are cherished things, are they not? Remember how magnificent Christmas used to be; that was the one occasion in your life that you never got enough of. It never happened enough, it never lasted long enough, it never came quickly enough, and it never fulfilled enough of your selfish child ish desires. The sad part is that it never really meant anything to you — at least not in the true Christian sense. Perhaps you love those memories be cause Christmas then was fiiil of color and sparkle. Then again perhaps you don’t love them because they remind you of an emptiness that once fill ed your heart. You may recall the trees you used to climb or the dolls you used to bring alive. You prob ably remember the worst beat ing your father gave you and the biggest trick you pulled on your parents. With a smilte of pleasure, you can recall the day you spent in fresh green grass or in the lush forest while your cares and worries flew away in the wind. You can re call forever and most distinct ly those little things that some how made a gigantic imprint on your mind. Yes, you can remember the seeming awesomeness of the world around you during child hood. Everything seemed tobe “grown - up” and beyond your ability to grasp. Everything was clouded in a shiny mist, and you were proud to be an American living in the greatest, most intelligent, most inventive, most patriotic, most honest, most clean- cu country in the world. Then you grew up, the mist cleared an vanished, and you were stagger ed by the things you saw. America was still the greatest country, but much of the hon esty, patriotism, and the cl image you had first j seemed to grow distorted through the intelligence you had accumulated. Y°u can re member having the you had been deceived all tho years by the ignorance an security of childhood, memories still astound y
