Brevard News In Brief
A great time is planned for the
second annual Parent’s Weekend
here November 3, 4, and 5, 1978.
Brevard College would like to see
Parent’s Weekend become an
annual event, since last years
proved very successful.
The purpose of this weekend is
to see what their sons and
daughters are doing, and for the
parents to get a full view of the
campus. According to Brevard
College President Jacob Mar
tinson, “This is the best student
body in seven years. ’'
One message to the students —
Be yourselves . Parents’
Weekend is designed for the
parents to see the students as
they are every day.
Parents see Brevard College as
a worthwhile enterprise, but
students may take a lot of things
for granted, and not realize the
sacrifice that has been made to
send them to college. So be ap
preciative to your parents.
A schedule of weekend events
follows:
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 3

Irish Fantasia At
B.C. This Week
The next event in Brevard’s
Cultural Life Series is pianist
Cecile Lkad who will perform on
Tuesday, November 7. Miss
Licad is a seventeen year old
musician from the Phillipines
who has won numerous prizes for
her talent.
On Thursday, November 16, a
program of Spanish music and
dance — Flameco Ole’ — will
bring its four brilliant artists to
our stage.
Cultural Life events start at
8; 15 p.m. in Dunham Auditorium.
“In the face of great obstacles,
it’s pulled together very nicely.”
Sam Cope, director of Brevard
College’s fall production
“Finian’s Rainbow” is elated
with the musical. “We’ve had our
difficulties”. Cope admits, “for
example, we probably have the
world’s only portable elevated
orchestra pit. It’s been a
challenge, but I’m happy with it.
The freshmen involved have
proven to possess a great deal of
promise and ability and I’m just
pleased with the entire play.”
Fantasy, reality, Irish folklore
and romance are ingredients
which have made Finian’s
Rainbow one of the big musical
successes of recent years. The
Brevard College Division of Fine
Arts is presenting this big, lively,
colorful, sentimental musical in
Dunham Auditorium on Nov. 2, 3,
4, with curtain at 8:15 p.m.
Finian McLonergan “borrows”
a crock of magical gold (gold for
three wishes in the hands of a
mortal) from an Irish
Leprechaun and brings the gold
and his beautiful daughter
Sharon to Rainbow Valley in the
state of Missitucky, U. S. A., in
order to verify his theory as to
how all Americans become
millionaires. (They all are, you
know!) According to Rnian, a
magical something in the soil of
Fort Knox causes wondrous
things to happen, and financial
good fortune to befall any man
who plants a bit of gold near Ford
Knox. So Finian plants his gold
and begins to anticipate the
happy results. Unfortunately
Finian doesn’t anticipate all of
the events which occur: Sharon
falls in love with a local boy,
Woody Mahoney; Senator
Bllboard Rawkins has designs on
Finian’s land; and the
Leprechaun tries to recover his
gold before all the wishes are
used. Og, the Leprehchaun,
predicts that fairy gold can only
bring “gloom and doom, doom
and gloom” in the hands of a
mortal, and for a time it looks as
if his predictions will come true.
But everything finally ends well,
as it only can when you combine
in one musical a loveable old
Irish rogue; his spirited and
beautiful daughter; a handsome
young idealist; a beautiful young
girl who can’t talk with her
tongue, but talks with her feet;
and Irish Leprechaun (is there
any other kind?); a magical pot
of gold, a bigoted southern
senator; a gospel quartet; Mr.
Shears and Mr. Robust, owner of
a mail-order business; and
various individuals of Rainbow
Valley!
All seats are reserved for these
performances. Tickets are
available in the Box Office in the
Beam Administration Building
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday. You
may also reserve seats by
mailing your check and the ap
propriate completed reservation
form to Musical Theatre, Box 649,
Brevard College, Brevard, N. C.
28712.
Security Offers
Helpful Suggestions
Have you received a traffic
ticket? If so, have you paid your
fine? As stated on each violation
notice (ticket) “This fine is
payable to the College Financial
Affairs Office within five days.”
There are currently over forty
tickets overdue. Dean Houk and
director of Security Richard
O’Hara are prepared to take
strong immediate measures to
collect these overdue fines.
Some students are, however,
cooperating with security by
“seeking visitor passes” for
visiting friends, registering new
vehicles or notifying security of
automobiles no longer used on
campus. “This is a giant step in
the right direction,” said officer
O’Hara. “Thank you.”
Since many students at
Brevard enjoy hunting, guns
have found their way on campus.
“We now have about twelve
weapons registered on campus
and secured. The procedure for
registering your weapons is
relatively simple,” stated
O’Hara. “You must bring the
weapon into our office, complete
a simple form, and the weapon
will be placed under lock and key.
When you need it, give security
some advanced notice and an
office will sign it out to you. When
you return to campus, you must
also return the weapon to
security.” This is the only safe
way to secure guns on campus.
Alcohol is also still a problem
on campus. Any complaints of
alchohol use will be forwarded to
Dean Houk. Occasionally the
officer may recommend a
“verbal warning,” but the final
decision still remains with Dean
Houk. Repeat offenders are
subject to probation or dismissal
from school.
