EVELYN CANDILOROS BETTY FULLER TIM PIPER Mr. Patrick Leeder Overcomes Handicaps To Excel As Brevard College Student By Susan Harrell Mr. Patrick Leeder came to Brevard as a student from Cali fornia and is presently in his fourth semester. He is a mem ber of Phi Theta Kappa, an ticipating graduation in May. His seniority over his fellow students definitely requires ex tra push, but this is a readjust- ffient solved by many adults go- back to the college campus for further education. Mr. Leed- ® is at greater disadvantage ® that he is restricted in the process of learning to only wo senses, hearing and touch. Therefore, he must approach a “ght . oriented, educational ^stem without the benefit of Waekboard demonstrations, the ^sual aids we all depend upon «ir clarification and the most “3S1C aid, the textbook. In 1949 Mr. Leeder was a >gn school student taking raule notes that were slow for and distracting to other Wents. At Brevard he uses a recorder both in out of class. In a lecture class he has, in a handy case beside his desk, a recorder that enables him to concentrate ful ly on the lecture, without note- taking interrupting his train of thought. Then later he can play back the tape for study pur poses. ThiSi I believe, is a de cided advantage over some of the rest of the students. He never misses an important word, and witty professors jokes are never lost. The textbook problem has been solved for Mr. Leeder through a non-profit, volunteer group, active throughout the count^ recording academic textbooks. With the arrival of mid - semester, Mr. Leeder is already researching the text re quirements for the fall semester and sending them to be record ed. This free benefit he ap preciates for its reduction of outside time otherwise taken when a friend must read to him chapter by chapter. Present ly, Mr. Leeder estimates that he possesses 100 reels of comprising seven or eight books. Tests are most often done at home, on a typewriter if they require essay response. Short answer tests and mathematical problems are executed orally. Mr. Leeder lives close to the campus in Brevard with his wife Dorothy, a native of Bre vard, and his six-year old daugh ter. Most of his spare time is spent with his family and an amateur radio hobby. Not phys ically inactive by any means, he has just finished a semester of swimming to his enjoyment and satisfaction. He is now working on weight lifting and is con templating bowling in the fu ture. Unsure of college transfer plans, Mr. Leeder comments that he has been spoiled here at Brevard College, and he has doubts about receiving such easy treatment elesewhere. Up on completion of his education, he. is looking forward to Re- hibilitation Sounseling, and he will leave Brevard College with the student body’s admiration and wish for success . Second Recital Of Semester Is Set For Tonight In Dunham The second Sophomore music the Dunham Music Center. Fea- lecital will be held Friday Feb- *ured will be Miss Evelyn Can- ruary 12 in the auditorium of r. ^ diloros. Miss Betty Fuller, and Mr. Tim Piper. All are students Mrs. Nell Norris Feeds Taylor Men Third floor, Taylor dorm had a change of pace Sunday Febru ary 7, by having their evening meal at the student union. This was made possible by Mrs. Nell P. Norris, Taylor Hall’s dorm director. Mrs. Norris is using part of the profits from the vending machines in Taylor Hall for the purpose of giving every floor a hamburger and soft drink treat on Sunday night. This came as a welcomed change to the inhabitants of third floor. All of the other floors will do the same on various weekends. This will give everyone in Taylor a break from the Sunday night sandwich blues. Miss C'andiloros, a soprano, will present numbers from Tre- harne. Wolf and Monteverde, with Mr. Piper as accompanist Evelyn hopes to attend Glass- boro State College in New Jer sey as a drama major, minoring in music.
