i lEhitnrial f ag? 2 THE CLAEION OCTOBER 8, 1971 rJCetlet'A ^lie ^‘Operation School Bell” High Point College in High Point, North Caro lina, which has a direct transfer program with Bre vard, has adopted a unique program this year call ed “Operation School Bell.” Our feillow Methodist college is the only known institution in the United States to design a program of this quality. Fourteen High Point professors have volunteer ed to become students again by taking at least one course — three to six hours — in a subject of their own choosing. Each faculty member participating in “Operation School Bell” must be a bona fide stud- •ent, assuming course requirements, including lesson preparation, term papers, and examinations. Even Dr. Wendell M. Patton, High Point College presi dent, is taking a course in industrial management. At the end of the semester the 14 teachers will assemble, possibly with students, evaluate their learning experiences, and make recommendations to improve the teaching program and curriculum. A program similar to “Operation School Bell” might pay off at Brevard. It must be difficult, if not ineffective, to change a curriculum without know ing the manner in which the courses are taught. Al so, teachers may be a bit more concerned about their teaching skills when they know their associates are observing from a student’s point of view. Bikes out of commission Students who can think back to the first week of school may remember that bicycles were once available for rent from the Student Union. Obser vant students may have noticed that these bicycles have now disappeared. Where have they gone? Where did they come from? _ Last year the Student Government Association decided to purchase bikes with their treasury money and to rent them out to the students. They said they -expected to encounter minor damage to the bikes, and last year they seemed to take these break-downs in stride. ^ However, this fall, after two weeks of use, the bicycles were taken away from the students and locked up, and no one knows when they’ll be available again. The Student Union Legislature says they are looking for someone to place in charge of the bikes and keep them in repair. But when does the S.U.L. propose to do this? ; While this question goes unanswered, the bikes remain locked away, collecting dust and perha'ps rusting. ^ The S.U.L. is supported by tuition money, mon ey from the students, and therefore it is the stud ents’ money that helped buy , these bikes. Yet be cause of the lack of foresight of a select few, the students are being deprived of the right to use THEIR bikes. A month has gone by; the bikes are still locked away. When will the S.U.L. take action? Dear Editor: Fi'iday afternoon, October 1, the soccer team was defeated by the B-leam of UNC'-CH. It is always a bad feeling to lose, but one feels even worse when the people on the sidelines tell players how to play. It is true that most of the players on this year’s team are new to the gam©, but they try their hardest and play their best for Brevard College. How ever, as a member of the soccer team I can say that we mem bers of the team get very angry when spectators tell us how vre should play. If these people know so much about the game, I dare them to come to prac tice and try a game. If they haven’t the guts to do this, then at least they should sup port their team. It is for them that we play. Sincerely, John Warlick Confetti holds contest for new name Again Confetti is turning to the student body for help. The staff has decided that this year, among other changes, the name of the magazine itself might be changed. The staff would like to solicit the stud ents’ help in coming up with a »ew name. There will be a $5.00 prize awarded, provided that, in the opinion of the judges, a more suitable name than the present one Has been submitted. Anyone who wants to submit a name for the literary magazine should contact Lynn Ryder or put his name in Box 441. The contest closes October 20. Ecar Editor; Last Friday I’m ashamed to say I attended my first soccer rame in two years at Brevard. I was even more ashamed after sitting there just a few minutes. I v.’as shocked at the negative attitude some of our students had with some of the players that represented our own Bre vard College. We were being outplayed by an obviously stronger team from quite a larger institution. Now I don’t know much about this particu lar sport, but I do know I saw everybody out there playing his heart out for the very ones who were cutting him down. It’s hard to want to represent some one like that. The players weren’t the only ones suffering from “armchair quarterback ing.” I realize the referee is the or obvious person to take yout frustrations out on, but that particular day he was receiv. ing an overload of four-letter descriptive adjectives, win what I understood to be trus. lees standing not far away. What an impression! Life is a building process full of wins and losses, and we must be prepared to handh each of these in a mature man.' •ner. I would like to say that I am proud to know the coach and most of the players of a rath er young but fine soccer team I hope I soon feel the same way about the supporters. i Come on people; it’s Hom& coming.

By Pat Ausband Since the movie “Easy Rid er” came out, people have been paranoid of certain areas of the country and certain types of people. I never was really paranoid even though I was jumped and beaten last sum mer and had a shot fired at me while hitchhiking. The exper ience I had with some friends of mine a few weeks ago changed my feelings. We were on the way back to Brevard from a concert by The Allman Brothers Band. Nine of us were riding in a panel truck when one of our tires went flat. We had no spare, but fortunate ly a friend was following us who took two of our passengers back to Brevard to get one. We were a few miles from the North Carolina state line on Pickens highway with almost no traffic. We got out and walked around the road, enjoying the seclusion until a car pulled up and stop ped. The first thing I heard was, "Hot damn, gonna get some—!” Not knowing what else to do, we walked up to the car to say hello. There were five of us there: Lucy MacMillan, Marsha Dean, Becky Baldwin, Hamp Hampton, and 1.1 looked in, and there were four drunken men aged 35-40, bare-chested: one. was waving a pistol. We talked, to them for a few minutes, hoping that they would go on and leave us alone; but when I looked behind me, the man in the passenger seat was getting out and coming around behind me with th» pistol in his hand. The driver then jumped out and stuck a bayonet in my stomach. He demanded to know what I had in my hand, so I showed him my corncob pipe. They seemed a little less jittery knowing I didn’t have a gun but still seemed intent on killing Hamp and me and raping the girls. They finally decided, after talking it out (weapons still on us), to help us fix the +ruck before they killed us. When they figured out that they could not help us, they decided to see what they could do with the girls. They grabbed" the girls and pushed them up against the truck. I was standing with one of the girls near the truck when one of our visitors walk ed up and said, “That’s Red’s girl.” I said, “No, she’s nol from around here.” j He insisted that it was Red’s girl until one of his friends' walked up. He agreed that sht' was definitely Red’s girl, but didn’t know what to do about it. I Meanwhile, Hamp was tryinf to reason with one of the mea He was telling him how scareii girls get out in the woods at night when strangers comt along. He seemed to be listen ing very well but took a step back and demanded to see wha’ was in Hamp’s pocket. Whei- Hamp showed him a bottle d eyedrops, the guy told him hf was lucky. He then drew !, hawk-billed knife out of hi;' pocket, opened it, and put it ti Hamp’s jugular vein. | At this time, a car camf around the curve. It was Wood! Clore with our spare tire. He looked better to us than cav- airy would have to Custer. Hf and several friends got out aiii! the drunks finally decided tha! we weren’t worth killing, st they left. Ours was not an isolated ind dent. This type of thing has hap pened before and will continuf to happen. Students, be carf ful when you are traveling; y(* might not be as lucky as "• W'ere.
