lEbitorial Pag? 2 THE CLARION SEPTEMBER 10, 1971 cjCetterA ^lie ^diL Editorial policy The Clarion this year, so far as possible, will assume the Constitutional rights of any American newspaper. However, it is our duty to insure that the rights of others are not infringed upon by slan derous, libelous, or undue defamatory remarks in this publication. This is not to say that the truth will in any way bo withheld or distorted. Our journalistic phil osophy coincides with that of Arthur Hays Sulzber ger; “Obviously, a man’s judgment cannot be bet ter than the information on which he has based it. Give him the truth and he may still go wrong when pe has the chance to be right, but give him no news tor present him only with distorted and incomplete data, with ignorant, sloppy or biased reporting, with propaganda and, deliberate falsehoods, and you de stroy his whole reasoning proc^ss, and make him Bomething less than a man.” We also feel that one should neither sign any thing that he does not write nor write anything that he does not sign. Therefore, only signed letters to the editor will be printed. A student’s reluctance to subscribe to his own opinions seems to indicate that either the College fails to observe the student’s right of free speech or that the student is not convinced of the validity of his own opinions. So an unsigned letter itself may be libelous, slander ous, and defamatory to the College, the anonymous writer, or both. New headline style Returning students who have even less than a keen eye for observation should have already taken note of the fact that The Clarion has adopted a new headline style this year. This innovation in journ alism is called “downstyle,” and it is the most mod ern and functional headline style available. Down style headlines are capitalized like regular sentences, which makes them the easiest and quickest head lines to read. YOU ARE NOW READING PRINT IN WHAT IS KNOWN AS “ALL CAPS.” EVERY LETTER IS CAPITALIZED, WHICH MAKES THE READING VERY DIFFICULT. WE THINK YOU WILL FIND THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH, WHICH IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF DOWNSTYLE, MUCH EAS IER TO READ. You Probably Felt Relieved To Finish That Last Paragraph, But Now You Are Reading “Up- style’’ Print, which The Clarion Employed For Head lines Last Year. This Involves Capitalizing The First Letter Of Each Word. But Each Capital Letter Is Like A Barb On A Wire Fence. It Irritates And Slows Down The Eye. So with this change of headline style, we hope to save valuable time and effort for both faculty land students. Dear Editor: An interesting subject for pondering may be a look at cer tain Brevard College students’ means of obtaining that extra spending money so badly need ed for those little luxuries that make life a little more enjoy able (beer, cigarettes, steak dinners, etc.). Some students work like hell over the summer to build up valuable savings that all too soon diminish; some are thrifty and can handle mon ey responsibly and never have any fun. Although employment at this period of history is hard to come by, many industrious students work hard at part-time jobs. The school makes available some small amounts of work, and some jobs may be found in town. Even the State of North Car olina gives a few honored, trustworthy, students important positions in the narcotics de partment. These chosen few are Mission - Impossible pro fessionals, who stay under cov er, win their peer’s friendship, and knife them in the back. Other students love and re spect them as equals because they Cthe innocents) never know that the guy next door, or the pretty little lady on the third floor is really the James Bond and Girl from U.N.C.L.E. of the state. Mr. Bond may drive a nice car, wear the proper clothes, go out with the prettiest girls. But one wrong breath of confidence, one wrong slip of the tongue, and Sir James will run the hell over you in his Astin Martin! You’ll be haunt ed by Her Majesty’s agents for the rest of your life! You see, the government would rather clear the streets of students than criminals. The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. al so works in mysterious ways: she creeps outside your window in the dark with her super-bat man sense of smell and her trusty little taperecorder. She loves her work far more than her self - respect; she’d rath er be a narc than get involved any kind of humaness of friend ship anyday! Yet these unkown cloak-and- dagger perverts are “friend” to both student and State. They Several new rules are in effect There are some changes in the rules and regulations in this year’s Student Handbook. In the past women had either limited or blanket permission, but now all women are put on blanket permission, unless oth erwise specified by their par ents. While on blanket per mission, women may sign out anywhere with the exceptions of motels and hotels. Women may sign out for over-night camping, if written permission has been granted by their par ents. They do not have to sign out on weeknights after 7:30, and this is necessary only if they are leaving the campus. Another difference that has not been in past handbooks is traffic regulations. There are to be no motor vehicles on the sidewalks, athletic fields, or on the campus grounds. There is a speed limit on campus and signs will be posted at a later date. Concerning room changes, the deadlines are October 1st for first semester and February 1st for second semester. There will be a charge of five dollars for changes made after the dead lines. This year quiet hours have been left up to the individual halls. Each hall must enforce its own regulations, and it is asked of each hall to have some type of quiet hours. It is also asked of each stud ent to keep the noise down be tween Taylor and Beam dormi tories, due to the fact that there are students trying to study. It is up to each student to re member these rules and help to enforce them, says Dean Fer- ree. It is not the responsibility of a few students, but everyone on campus. The CLARION Brevard, N.

Le, Music Department sends thirty-five to England uates as well, for Ann Curtis was the winner of a gold medal in the piano contest. Ann is now a student at Baldwin - Wallace Conservat(»y. Many famous sights were visited by the group — includ ing Guiliford and Coventry Ca thedrals, Winsdor, St. George’s and Warwick Castles, and Stone henge. Of particular interest were those places steeped with literary tradition such as Tm- tem Abbey, Shelley’s London home, and the London tavern frequented by Charles Dickens. While at a formal afternoon t«a with the Lord Mayor of the huge industrial city of Birming ham, the group made their fi nal, lasting impression on the people of England. The Birming ham paper covered the event with a good-sized picture of the Lord Mayor in his cere- mc^nial robes and anoiient dia mond pendant, standing with Brevard’s girls in dungarees and tennis shoes! By John Williams Early morning mi Monday, August 9, thirty - five people embarked on a two-week excur sion to represent Brevard Col lege at the Anglo - Europa Mu sic Festival in Guilford, Eng land. The groip of college stud ents, faculty, and several peo ple from the local community was under the leadership of Harvey Miller. Everyone agrees that he had a wonderful trip de spite money i>roblems reisult- ing from the wage-price freeze, delays in flights home, and the loss of two students at Oxford University (te the interest of learning?). There were many highlights of the trip, but the main pur pose was, of course, the con cert. The group nepresented Brevard with a fine perfor mance and was ^ven a special baton to commemorate their participation. Brevard can also be proud of »ne of its 1971 grad- or are professional narcs of the highest degree, as exposure would mean ultimate destru^ tion (they’d probably be kill- ed). They keep your minds clean and healthy, at the same time picking up a few dollars. You, as students, are hereby forewarned that the possibility of your life being ruined exists by someone so low that he doesn’t deserve proper burial Narcs are on Brevard College campus now. Proof exists. Those students who have known any of these animals know they don’t care a damn for anyone but themselves. Sincerely, Burton A. Bumgarner Curriculum changes announced The English, Science, and Physical Education Depart ments have each introduced new curriculums for the 1971- 72 school year. The change in the English program includes four courses added to the sophomore curric ulum. This year a sophomore student may take any two lit erature courses instead of Brit ish literature as previously re quired. The Biology section of the Science Department has been revised. A student not planning to enter a scienee field may now take Biology II, and for those majoring in science. Bi ology 12 - 13 (Zoology) and Biology 14 - 15 (Botany) are offered. A student is required to take one biology and one physical science in order to graduate with an associate of Arts Degree. In physical education, re quirements for freshmen and transfer students are to take the new “Concepts” course. The course’s purpose is to help the student gain a better under standing and appreciation of Physical Education. The new course is designed to get stud ents involved in individual ac tivities which will carry over later in life. Two new courses which have been added are snow skiing and scuba diving. Coach “Chick” Martin stated, “These two sports will be offered for nominal fee, but, if the student is really interest ed in either sport, it is a bar gain taking these through the College.” Model enrolls at Brevard Miss Debbie Harrison from Page High School in Greens’ boro, N.
