Sims Student Center Will Be Ideal President To Recreation Facility For Brevard College Speak At The new Sims Student Cen ter is scheduled to open in January of 1971. This is some thing that Brevard College has needed for a long time, and it will no doubt be greatly ap preciated by the students and faculty. The trustees have made this addition possible and it is to them that we should be grateful. The Sims Student Center will consist of two floors. The ground floor will contain a Snack Bar or Tornado Room which will have the facilities for cooking. There will be hot sandwiches, possibly salads, hamburgers, and French fries available. The College Store will be completely separate with island and counter dis plays. They will consist of sundry items, books, sweat shirts, T-shirts, jewelry and there is a possibility of paper back books and magazines. The idea for these two rooms to be separate is that there is a larger demand for the Tornado Room to be open longer than the College Store. Mr. Alder man says, “Provided the help is sufficient 1 hope to see the Tornado Room opened from ap proximately 8:00 to 11:00 from Monday through Saturday and a few hours on Sunday.” One of the main advantages of this is the mail distribution. The mail boxes will be accessi ble from the time the building opens in the morning, until it closes at night which will be 11:00 P.M. which includes week ends. Also downstairs will be the laundry and dry cleaning pick-up, a lounging area, lock er rooms and a dancing room with a juke box. The upstairs will have a sep arate lounge fojfT.V. and study ing There will be three of fices and an SGA workroom and conference rooms. The game rooms are designed for table tennis and six pool tables. The upstairs will have the same hours as the Tornado room. The new student center floors will be terrazzo, which Toby Ives Is Alumni Speaker The Alumni Luncheon in honor of the Graduating Sopho mores will be Saturday, May 16, at 1:00 in the A. G.

A high moincnt in the life of any college is the inaugu ration of a new president to serve as chief executive of ficer of the college and its spokesman to the wider com munity. The inauguration of the Rev. Robert Aldine Davis on Saturday, May 2nd, was such an occasion for Brevard College. In an installation ceremony witnessed by 137 delegates from colleges, universities and learn ed societies plus a large num ber of local citizens, students and special guests of the col lege, President Davis was in augurated as the sixth Presi dent to serve Brevard College since its beginning in 1934. “I have already dreamed dreams and had bright visions for this college,” the 41-year- old educator told the as sembled audience. “The one dominating dream is that we might be faithful to the task that called this institu tion into being—a task which sees the coming together of academic excellence and Chris tian development.” In this con fused and secular age, I prom ise that I shall not forget either of these noble aims. For I am convinced that despite gloomy predictions from some quarters, the church must continue to be involved in higher education, that there must be church-re lated colleges with a Christian commitment which perceive their central purpose as a God- given task.” In closing his remarks. President Davis pledged “my greatest efforts to the realiza tion of these aims.” “To the Faculty of this col lege, I pledge my efforts to as sure a wholesome and sound en vironment in which our sacred task of teaching and searching together may be carried out with freedom, “To the Student Body of this college, I pledge my sympa- tetic and understanding con cern as you seek knowledge and truth.
