THE CLARION THE VOICE Of BREVARD COLLEGE STUDENTS Volume XXXVin BREVARD COLLEGE, BREVARD, N. C., FEBRUARY 26, 1971 Number 18 Davis Seeks To Clarify Off-Campus Regulations By Mike Jones h A group of students met in Sims Student Center with Pres ident Robert Davis, Monday in an attempt to ascertain the ad ministration’s policy in regard to off - campus behavior. The , policy came into question fol lowing a Feb. 12 incident, in which several girls were rep rimanded for signing out to a Brevard motel room. Also in question was a party held on ' Feb. 19 at the Brevard Ameri can Legion. President Davis stated that he was not happy with the things that occurred and that a number of college regulations had been broken. He also ad ded that the events warrant ed reprimand which, in his opinion, was light for such ir responsible actions. The girls had properly signed out to a motel room, according to Pres ident Davis, but they had not notified their parents of this action. The students maintained that the situation had been handled poorly by the admin istration in that the girls had not been properly informed of the rules of the sign-out pro cedure. “Girls were tdld to sign out to a motel if they were going to a motel,” said one co ed. Many students expressed their belief that what they do off campus is their own busi ness. Concerning the off-campus party. President Davis said he did not know if it was a col lege - related function or a private party. He added that all college . related activities should uphold the character and reputation of Brevard Col lege and its students. “We want students to be honest, discreet, and responsible,” stated President Davis. Students will be notified when the new off-campus poli cies are drawn up, according to President Davis, and they will be informed of exactly what they can and cannot do. Week b To Be Held March 7-11 President Davis 12th Piyler Religioos Emphasis Accepts Honors For United Fund Work Dr. Robert A. Davis, Presi- ! dent of Brevard College, was recently honored for his out standing service to the town of Brevard and Transylvania County by accepting for the lo cal United Fund Association • the 1970 North Carolina Award for outstanding achievement in fund raising goals. The award was for the Brevard category of population. In the overall category, the local association • tied for first place with Gaston , County. As 1970 President of the As sociation, Dr. Davis led the group to the realization of a tremendous gain over 1969. Al so, the 1970 campaign saw the Transylvania United Fund go twelve per cent over its plan ned goal. The association is reported to have raised more money in a shorter period of time than in its entire history. j All of ’this is an outstanding tribute to the man who leads Brevard College. Despite pres sing duties with college orient ed activities here and around j the state, it is remarkable that » Dr. Davis has been so valuable ^ to the community in his short years of residence here. Methodist Ministers Meet On Campus Thirty - seven ministers, who are members of the Western North Carolina Annual Confer ence of the United Methodist ' Church, visited Brevard’S campus Monday evening. It is customary for the ministers to visit all the institutions sup ported by the Methodist Church before they receive full mem bership in the conference. Final planning is now under way for the 12th annual Plyer Religious Emphasis week on the College campus. The series of programs will be held March 7-11. On the campus to lead the activities will be the Rever end Reginald Smith, Jr., the preacher and resource leader for the week. Mr. Smith is an alumnus of Brevard College, Southern Methodist University, and received his B.D. degree from Emory University. He is now pastor of Plains United Methodist Church, Can ton, N. C., and pr^or to his latest position he was campus minister at Appalachian State University. He has written two books, of which the latest is, A CAMPUS PULSE BEATS. The week will begin Mon day night, March 7, with the monthly convocation. Mr. Smith will be the guest speaker, and will deal with the topic, “What Is Being Said in This Place?” Tuesday night a lecture and dialogue will be held, based on the subject, “Resonsibility in the Face of Freedom.” Both of the first two events will be at 6:30 p.m. On Wednesday during the 10:00 a.m. assembly period another lecture and dialogue will be held entitled “Realation- ships in the Face of Fragmen tation.” This win be followed by dialogue in the, dorms and a movie at 6:30 p.m. On Thursday, March 11, the week’s activities will be con cluded with a panel discussion moderated by Mr. Smith and consisting of a panel of stud ents and faculty at 6:30, follow ed by a communion - commun ication - commitment service on campus at 9:30 p.m. The Religious Emphasis Week is sponsored by the Christian Council. It was initiated in 1959 when the widow of the late Dr. A. W. Piyler, an outstanding leader of the Methodist Church in Western North Carolina and College Trustee, established The Piyler Religious Empha sis Fund. APPEARING HERE TONIGHT, The Rose wood Rebellion will present an exciting contemp orary sound, light show as part of the 1970 - 71 Mutual Concert Association program. Jamz Dutton, Rosewood Rebellioa To Present Sound-Light Show Changes Are Planned At Brevard College Jamz Dutton and his Rose wood Rebellion, the electric new marimba group that plays thirty - nine different instru ments and uses an electronic F A S 0 R, will appear at Dun ham Music Center on Friday, Feb. 26, at 8:15 p. m. The ap pearance is sponsored by the Mutual Concert Association pro gram of the 1970-71 series, at Brevard College. According to Dutton, the FASOR (which stands for Fre quency Activated Sonic Ocular Realiser) is a device that trans lates sounds into electric light signals. The tones and subtle overtones of the group’s instru ments become intricately-danc- ing hues of color on the ten-by- thirty-foot translucent screen behind the group. The FASOR was designed and built for the Rosewood Rebellion by an en- gineer, a painter, and a sculp tor. An appearance by the Rose wood Rebellion is a zip from pop to rock, and from bosa no va to Bach. The audience ex periences a swirling splurge of evocative sounds, exploding vi brations, and weird, sometimes eerie flashes of colored lights that strike here in an electric bolt and there is an incande scent glow. The scene is exub erant and the mood is optimistic and bold. The exotic instruments of the percussion family are combined with the art and computer tech- nology of the 1970’s to provide a thoroughly - stimulating and enjoyable evening for every audience the. Rosewood Rebel lion entertains. '1 The group was led by the Rev erend Gene H. Little, and they met an hour with a group of students plus another hour with a group of teachers. There are several changes be ing discussed by the College Administration for the better ment and the beautification of the Brevard Collbge campus. They are scheduled to take place in the next four to six months. The road directly behind Tay lor Hall will be blocked off at the highway and the entrance from the highway to the Stud ent Union will handle all traf fic at that end of the campus. This is for increased safety because of the traffic lights and to clean and dress that corner of the campus. A new entrance ramp to the Taylor . Green parking lot may then be built and the lot itself would be paved depend ing on the amount of funds available at that time. The old Classroom building is scheduled to be tom down in the next few months and m time a new dorm may be erect ed on that spot. A bell tower could be built on the space if the Alumni of Weaver College reach the price of construction which is $60,- 000 A bell tower might alleviate the need for alarm clocks in the men’s dorms nearby, but the occupants of Taylor Hall would probably prefer a new dorm. St. Timothy Church To Hear Bishop Earl G. Hunt, Jr. Bishop Earl G. Hunt, Jr., resident bishop of the Char lotte Area of the Methodist Church, will visit locally on Sunday, Feb. 28, and will preach at St. Timothy United Methodist Church during the morning worship service at eleven o’clock. At the time of his election to the episcopacy in 1964, Bis hop Hunt was president of Em ory and Henry College, a posi tion he had held for several years. As a member of the Hol- ston Conference of the Metho dist Church, he had served churches in Chatanooga and Morristown Tennessee. Since becoming bishop^ he has pre sided over the Western North Carolina Conference. St. Timothy Church is locat- ed in North Brevard, a mile from the campus of Brevard College on the Asheville High way. The congregation extends a cordial invitation to the col- lege community - administra tion, faculty, and student body —to worship there in this spec ial service.
