Munro Attends Seminar
Mrs. Grace Munro, Professor
of Business at Brevard joined
approximately 150 other business
educators at the University of
North Carolina, Greensboro on
Saturday, September 23, for a
Business Education Seminar.
Dr. Leonard J. West, Professor
of Education, Baruch College of
The City University of New York,
was the main speaker for the
event. In his dynamic presen
tation, Dr. West, a well-known
author and lecturer, challenged
his audience, all of whom were
business teachers, to prepare
|heir students for real life.
School instruction is drowning
in fiction,” he said: “We must
teach our students to make
decisions.”
Mountaineering Club Forms
n Tuesday, September 26, the
■■evard College Mountaineering
UD held an organizational
eeting. Prospective members
ere told that the objectives of
® club were to unite outdoor

It was the second production of
Brevard College’s Culture and
Life Series and Carole Sunday
was the star. She played inviting
music on her guitar and sang
songs that contained such moving
and profound lyrics that one
found it impossible not to
respond.
Ms. Sunday has been playing
the guitar for 12 years and she is
no’v playing regularly at
“Dante’s Down The Hatch” in
Atlanta’s Underground. She has
done a great deal of recording but
she adds that nothing great has
happened.
What goal has she set for
herself? Ms. Sunday states that
she wants to play the harp well
enough to perform for a major
audience.
Asked what music she
preferred most, Ms. Sunday
replied the blues. She also said
that she is very concerned about
the lyrics in her music, and that
she has done some of her own
lyrics but doesn’t consider
herself a writer.
Ms. Sunday expresses her
gratitude to the Brevard College
students in attendance of her
concert.
Brevard Security Cracks Down
When discussmg typewriting,
which is his specialty, Dr. West
emphasized quality work and the
amount of time it takes to
produce this work. “Typing is
done with the head, not just the
hands,” he said; “and if a student
can’t think, he can’t type.” He
explained that much of typing
time goes into planning the work
and correcting errors, which
explains why the average
production rate is only about one-
half of the straight-copy rate.
The seminar was hosted by the
Department of Business and
Distributive Education, UNC-G,
with Professor George Grill
presiding.
Brevard College’s new
Director of Security is Mr.
Richard E. O’Hara, a retired
officer of the U. S. Armed Ser
vices.
O'Hara and two other officers
make up the Security Depart
ment at Brevard College, and
they all take their jobs very
seriously.
“Parking is our biggest
problem so far,” stated O’Hara
“and it should be noted that over
300 warning tickets have been
issued to date, while 85 tickets for
fines have been written. Parking
on campus is a privilege and
should be treated as such. Space
is very limited for convenience
parking, such as driving from
your dorm to class, or to eat at
the cafeteria. We are now giving
tickets to those who park in front
of the cafteria, because that
space is being used by town
speople who use the building for
various reasons.”
Brevard Welcomes
O’Hara and officers Collins and
Laughter (pronounced louder)
have also made an attempt at
cracking down on the amount of
alcohol and drugs consumed on
campus. He quoted from page 98
of the College Handbook:
“Brevard College does not
sanction the use of alcohol or
other illegal drugs.” “We have
already disposed of several cases
of beer and full bottles of wine,
whiskey and gin,” stated O’Hara,
“and alcoholic beverages in any
form or quantity including emp
ties in possession will be removed
by security and your names will
be turned over to the Dean of
Students, Dean Houk.
If anyone has any questions
about rules, regulations, or
campus security, officer O’Hara
is available daily from 2:00 until
5:00 p.m. in Room 107 McLarty-
Goodson. “Suggestions are
always welcome and could prove
useful in our campus com
munity.”
“Everyone was so attentive; it
was the best audience I’ve ever
had.”
Blood Drive
Pulsating Success
The annual Brevard College
Blood Drive was held last
Wednesday in Boshamer
Gymnasium. Many students and
residents of the Brevard Com
munity donated, making it a very
successful drive. Volunteers
from the Transylvania Chapter of
the Red Cross lent a helping
hand, along with the Big Sisters,
who sponsored the drive.
Lisa Craver, head of the Big
Sisters, reported that of the 118
people who participated, % pints
were collected; 26 people were
denied for health reasons. The
response was greater than last
year, when only 76 pints were
given.
The Bloodmobile announced its
arrival a week earlier than ex
pected, leaving the Big Sisters
little time to recruit donors. “I
felt we could have gotten more if
we had more time,” commented
Lisa, “but I was pleased with the
overall outcome and par
ticipation of the students.” Lisa
also added a personal thanks to
those who gave their time and
effort towards the drive.
Planned activities for the club
include one to two weekend trips
monthly, day hikes, backpacking
and rock climbing seminars at
the College, trail maintenance
trips, and a big trip over the
latter part of Christmas break.
Other suggestions for activities
were asked for.
