Do
Deadly Difference

Algeria is certainly wel
come to Dr. Timothy Leary,
the acid - egghead, who escap
ed from a California prison
where he was serving a sen
tence for narcotics.
But Leary’s presence in Al
giers is new evidence of a
menacing consolidation of
American radicals into a con
federation with foreign bases.
The former Harvard lecturer,
who played no small part in
promoting the drug culture
which is corrupting American
youth, was aided in his escape
by the violently revolutionary
Weatherman organization. One
of its fugitive leaders, Berna-
dine Dohrn, also is reported in
Alegria.
Black Panthers, equally dedi
cated to destroying the Ameri
can system, recently opened an
office in Algiers. It is run by
Eldridge Cleaver, who jumped
bail and fled the United States
in 1968 while awaiting trial for
attempted murder in a shootout
with Oakland police.
Algeria is becoming the for
eign base of operations for fu
gitive American radicals. Cuba
serves as a training base.
In a recent series of articles
in the Miami Herald, reporters
Georgie Ann Geyer and Keyes
Beech detailed the extent to
which Castro’s Cuba supplies
inspiration and techniques to
those who would overthrow the
American government.
“Cuba,” they said, “has be
come a revolutionary factory
for the processing and refining
of American radicals for ex
port back to the United States.”
They pointed out that almost
every incident of organized vio
lence by young radicals in this
country in the last two years
follovfed visits to Cuba by their
leaders. Mark Rudd, who
helped wreck Columbia Uni
versity, went there; so did Ber-
nadine Dohrn, before the
Weathermen staged a riot in
Chicago last year; so did Black
Panthers who later played roles
in the turmoil at San Francisco
State; so did Anfela Davis,
about the time she was publicly
exposed as a Communist while
on the faculty of UCLA.
Miss Davis would now be in
Cuba, or possibly Algeria, if the
FBI had not caught her be
fore plans could be completed
to spirit her out of the coun
try. She is charged with having
provided the guns used in the
San Rafael courtroom kidnap
plot which ended with the
judge and three kidnapers—
friends of Miss Davis—killed.
AS MOST Americans now
ought to know, these radicals
no longer can be regarded as
“flower children” or sensitive
victims of racial discrimination.
They are bloodily serious ene
mies of the American system of
government and American so
ciety. They are, more and more,
placing themselves in alliance
with foreign elements who
share the common desire to
destroy the United States.
They must be dealt with as
alien enemies, not as native
dissenters. The sooner Ameri
can universities, civil rights
organizations and other groups
recognize the character of the
Dohrns, Davises, Cleavers and
Learys, the less risk there will
be that this nation will be driv
en to the extreme measures
which now grip Canada today.
The mask of dissent can be
used to cover the contorted face
of treason. Americans must
learn to perceive the deadly
differences.
Dear Editor:
I believe in the value of the
programs presented on campus
and the student body to the
extent that I deplore the ad
ministration’s super - imposi
tion of obligatory attendance.
It is a natural process for any
one of us, when given a new
freedom, to be undecided on
how to use it, even to the point
of misusing it, as his first
reaction. Each new responsi
bility has to be associated with
each individual’s previous obli
gations to himself and his col
lege community.
In view of the last Convoca
tion, of October 19th, I feel if
responsibility is given up to
the individual to attend what
the College offers, in addition
to academics, Brevard’s future
audiences will be those present
out of their own desire and in
terest. Therefore, such audi
ences may be smaller in quan
tity, but of a much more ap
preciative quality. This action
I believe would benefit both
the college community and the
individual student.
To such important subject
matter as this, I call the at
tention of the SGA, rather than
the waste of its talent on such
issues as “bare feet in the par
lor.”
Susan Harrell
Dear Editor;
I want to thank you for
printing the letter written by
Susan Harrell about the need
for flying our American flag
on the campus. The chain on
the flag pole is broken, but
we plan to repair it right away.
We hope this can be done by
next week. Also, a new Ameri
can flag is now on order. Our
flag will be flying again in the
near future.
Sincerely,
Brunner R. Hunt
Business Manager
To Lyndon Ashworth,
President, SGA:
At the October faculty meet
ing a resolution concerning a
request by SGA that students
be represented on faculty com
mittees was passed unanimous
ly.
On Wednesday, October 16,
the division chairmen met and
passed the following resolution:
The Student Government As
sociation shall be represented
on the following committees
ot*
by two appointed students:
Library Committee, Mrs.
Beard, Chairman
Athletic Committee, Mj,
Knott, Chairman
Development C o m m i 111 e
Mrs. Munro, Chairman ’
Honors and Awards Com.
mittee, Mr. Miles, Chairman
Counseling and Testing Com.
mittee, Mr. Tawney, Chairman
The SGA already has rep.
resentation of the Judicial
Board, the Student Activities
Committee, and the Committee
on General Cultural Programs.
It was further suggested by
the division chairmen that the
SGA may request permission
to attend meetings of other
faculty committees on which
there are no student represen
tatives. The proper procedure
for obtaining such permission
would be to consult with the
chairman of the particular com*
mittee to ascertain the nature
and confidentiality of the meet-
ing. Students may at times be
invited to attend certain meet
ings of these committees when
it is felt that they may con
tribute to the deliberations.
Most sincerely,
Grady H. Whicker

Than Never
By Susan Genes
Only six more weeks and
first semester exams will be
gin. That’s right, students,
first semester is more than half
over. There are many students
who have been enjoying Bre
vard as an expense paid vaca
tion. They obviously do not
realize the value of an educa
tion. Wake up students! Yes, the
next six weeks will go by fast,
but there is time to bring up
D’s or to keep the grades if you
begin now.
The decision is yours.
If you have trouble studying
and sleeping in the dorm be
cause of noisy neighbors, do
not despair. After exams,
chances are that those stud
ents who think College is one
big party may not be back. Bre
vard College is for the stud
ents, let those only interested
in parties go elsewhere. Which
are you going to be? It’s your
decision but remember what
ever you decide you are determ
ining your future. If you would
like to make it here, but have
made no real attempt thus far,
begin now. It may be a bit late;
but as the old adage goes, “It’s
better late than never.”

Mr. Robert Poe, instructor
of art at Brevard College, was
recently honored for a display
of some of his art work. 'This
one-man display of paintings
has been on show since Octo
ber 11 and will remain until
November 28, in the Carroll
Reece Museum at East Ten
nessee State University.
Mr. Poe was paid $150 for
the use of twenty - four of his
paintings, which were all done
during the past year.
NOTICE
Will the one who is taking
the Asheville Citizen from the
library mailbox across from the
cafeteria please stop?
This is a subscription that is
placed on newspaper sticks for
all of the students to read and
is clipped later for the files.
Bach year at Brevard College,
the members of Phi Theta Kap
pa have a project to raise
money to give as a scholarship
to a student at Crossmore.
Crossmore is a Boarding school
near Black Mountain for chil
dren from broken homes. These
children are in need not only
of education but also entertain
ment, clothes and other things.
Phi Theta Kappa needs your
help to complete this project.
This year they are selling Bre
vard College notepaper with a
picture of the administration
building on the front. A box of
this stationery containing ten
notes and ten envelopes can be
bought at the school store any
time for the small price of $1.00
Everyone needs stationery at
some time so why not make
your next box B. C. notepaper
and help Phi Theta Kappa help
someone else.
The Phi Theta Kappa will
also have a booth at the Hallo
ween festival. At this time
Mrs. Beard will be telling for
tunes, the proceeds of which
will also go to help a student
in need.
The total money usually
raised is about $75. The total
amount will be given for a scho
larship. Let’s see if we can help
them make this their best year
yet. Think about it like this—
What if the scholarship were
going to you?
Tournaments
There is still time to get
your form in for entering
the tournaments in table
tennis, chess, bridge, etc. If
you would like to enter and
have not signed up, please
see Mr. Frank Sinclair or go
to the office of the Dean of
Student Affairs to sign up.

Now another vacation has ended, and I am find
ing once again that ono of the aspects of any vaca
tion is trying to get back in the groove- or
and “'pick up where I left off.” Memories of
breezes and blue skies still linger on for me pers
ally in the chilly Brevard haze. ,
But it seems that despite the
may mean, a change in routine does one good.
now, I feel my perspective on life here has been o
again revised by the various experiences that a
tic vacation can bring. if
It seems to be a human quality to
into a mold, while falling into a routine, along
an inability to accept new experiences, ideas,
opinions. This is one reason, I think, that it s g
to shake ourselves up with a new exp&rience
in a while. Maybe the groove w© sUp back mto
be better than the bid One,
