CONTEMPLATING — But what? Perhaps
it’s the coming of fall, a troublesome theme pa
per or an upcoming test. Or perhaps this pret
ty Brevard Coed is simply enjoying the beauty of
life on a unseasonably warm afternoon.

raised by the Foundation help
keep student tuition within rea

is a non-profit institution guid
ed by a volunteer Board of
Trustees made up of leading
businessmen and educators in
the state. The luncheon marked
the beginning of the first phase
of the Foundation’s 1970-71
fund-raising appeal. During its
existence, the NCFCRC has
raised a total of $6,911,000, be
ginning with $10,065 which was
raised the first year. Last year
$713-427 were raised, and this
year the NCFCRC hopes to
raise $850,000. The long-range
objective of the Foundation is
to raise the level of annual giv
ing to $1.3 million by 1975.

church-related colleges in North
Carolina. The principal speaker
of the meeting was John Ryan.
He spoke of the Foundation’s
ideals and of the importance of
church-related colleges to en
terprise in North Carolina. He
also appealed to the business
men present for increased sup
port in the coming year.
This is the first year that stu
dent representatives were invit
ed to the “kick-off campagin

sentative acted as the host of
his college’s table, and talked
with the businessmen and coll
ege officials present The guests

also guests at the Brevard table.
Col. W. Bryan Moore, Vice-

The cultural events at Bre
vard College this year have been
divided into three divisions:
convocations, the lyceum series
and the general campus cultural
programs.
Convocations vnll be held
once a month, and attendance is
required of all students. The
Lyceum series will consist of
seven scheduled performances,
which should prove very inter
esting. The CCP, Campus Cul
tural Programs, promises a va-
rilety of greajt entertainment,
such as show, dance and music.
These programs will be plan
ned by a committee of students
and faculty, which will be head
ed by Mr. Tawney. Students
selected for the committee
were; Ed Williams, Melisa
Needles, Adelia Medlin and
Milton Rankin.
In reference to those stu
dents, who for some reason or
another, were unable to attend
the required number of pro
grams last year, these students
will be notified on how they
should go about making those
programs up. It should be made
quite clear that convocations
will not count as “make-up be
cause they are required of all
students.

Brevard Welcomes New
Student From Lebanon
Faisal M. Ishak, age 20, from
Tripoli, Labanon, has enroll
ed at Brevard College this fall
to work toward a B.A. degree
in Chemistry. While at Brevard,
Faisal will be playing soccer.
His hobbies include swimming,
volley - ball, and “watching the
races.”
Faisal is the eldest of a fam
ily of four brothers and two
sisters. He has been in the
States for only four weeks but
has already made Brevard his
second home. He tells us that
everyone has been more than
friendly to him, and he would
like to extend special thanks to
Suzan Franske. Other than
his roommate, Faisal feels that
she is the one individual that
has helped him most.
He hopes to return back home
after study in the States, but
as of yet, he has no definite
plans. The only difficulty he
has found is that Americans
speak too fast — especially his
chemistry teacher.
The CLARION Staff takes
great pleasure in welcoming
Faisal and all other foreign
students to the States and Bre
vard College.
