Student Housing
safe. People from Ross will be
able to drive. Other components
of the plan include installation of
laundry facilities in the Duplexes
and Ross. There will be a
Resident Tutor in Ross which will
also supervise the Duplexes.
The apartments will be
assigned by a selection process
according to Houk and Wray.
“Occupancy involving students
representing any major campus
group (i.e., the Delphians, the
soccer team, etc.) will ordinarily
be restricted to one large
apartment or two small apart
ments (maximun of four
people),” says Dean Wray. The
process will be somewhat
competitive. Dean Houk and
Dean Wray stress that the
student who is able “to handle
rules and live compatibly with
the philosophy of the college will
have priority over students who
have a tendency to get in
trouble." Basically, the apart
ments will be for sophomores.
Exceptions will be made
depending upon the situation.
Dean Houk and Dean Wray ex
pect this change to be a good
opportunity tor students. They
both see this as a good change for
Brevard while still keeping it a
residential college.
Spring Drama Is Cast
by Alan Folk
“It's hilarious.” That seemed
to be the most fitting way for Mr.
Cope who is head of the drama
department to summarize
“Black Comedy”, the upcoming
drama production which will
begin in April.
“A lot of good people tried out
and it was difficult to pick the
final cast,” said Cope. Auditions
Frank Davis
for the production were held
Monday (February 18) with
recalls on Tuesday. After
auditions were over, eight
students were chosen for the
play. They were Judy Early,
Frank Lattimore, Neal Lat-
timore, Patrick Michael, Cheryl
Pierce, Karen Quick and Robert
Shepherd. Loren Mott was also
chosen; however he was unable
to take the part.
New Face at B.C.
by Jana Miller
Mr. Frank Davis, the
Executive Director of
Development, seems quite at
home in his new office on the
second floor in the administration
building. Mr. Davis, a native of
North Carolina, says about his
new job, “I love it.” Mr. Davis
has only been at E C. for six
months.
Mr. Davis’ job involves many
duties. His duties include in
stituting the goals set to improve
Brevard College. One of the
major changes Mr. Davis hopes
to bring about in the near future
is increasing our endowment
which means more fund raising.
He would also like to see in
creases in scholarships and
grants.
Several other changes Mr.
Davis would like to see are to
revise new heat operations to
improve our energy conservation
on campus, to redo the Dunham
Auditorium and to refurbish the
Barn Theatre. Mr. Davis is
presently working on getting the
dean’s list out.
Mr. Davis has big hopes for
Brevard College and confidence
in what the future holds for ad
vancement. He feels it is a
community effort and extremely
important to interpret to the
community at large.
Davis’ job requires a lot of
imagination and creativity. Mr.
Davis describes his job as, “Only
a matter of being a creative
dreamer, and later making
substance into those dreams.”

Ledbetter’s Reviews
No Nukes Equals 110
Minutes of the Best
The “No Nukes” album con
tains, without a doubt, 110
minutes of some of the best
performances recorded live by
classic rock artists. The music on
the album completely washes out
the political cause for which the
concerts were held in the first
place. Although the proceeds
from the concerts, the album
itself and an upcoming movie
(made from the concerts) will go
to various anti-nuclear groups
around the country, the real
success for the album is at
tributed again to the music.
Most of the music contained on
the album would be classified as
contemporary rock, but that
might be stretching the truth just
a little. There are several ex
ceptionally. good cuts on the
album, one of them being
Jackson Browne and Graham
Nash’s version of “The Crow on
the Cradle”. Between the har
mony of Nash and Browne and
Eastman Curtis
the fiddle playmg of David
Lindley, the tune has the tone of
an old lullaby. Another of the
greats on the album is, without a
doubt, Bruce Springsteen’s short,
but powerful rendition of ‘Stay’
(with Jackson Browne) and a
revision of an old Mitch Ryder
and the Detroit Wheels tune
entitled “Devil With the Blue
Dress Medley.” Springsteen and
his E. Street Band are one of
those acts that has to be seen to
be appreciated, but even on vinyl
he comes across as one of the
stronger acts.
The funny part about the
album, although it was produced
by the MUSE foundation
(Musicians United for Safe
Energy), is the fact that the only
sour song on the entire three
discs is one that directly deals
with atomic power. John Hall’s
“Plutonium is Forever” could
safely be summed up as a
political joke. The only thing he
did by putting that cut on the
album was spoil the mood in the
music.
It would be almost impossible
to comment on each of the 27 cuts
on the album, but among the
better ones are those performed
by artists such as Bonnie Raitt,
Crosby, Stills arid Nash, James
Taylor and Ry Cooder, just to
name a few. Tom Petty’s version
of “Cry to Me” is unique because
it sounds a lot like the Stone’s
original version.
The “No Nukes” album is by no
means flawless, but for a live
album with so many artists, it’s
an exceptionally good album. In a
few years when everyone’s
forgotten about George
Harrison’s “Concert for
Bangledesh” and Bob Dylan’s
“Benefit for Hurrican Carter”, I
think a lot of people will still
remember those five nights at
Madison Square Garden in
September of 1979.
‘I Have A Purpose’
By Alison Cooperman
Eastman Curtis came to
Brevard from his home town of
Lake Wales, Florida as a
freshman last semester. Ac
cording to Eastman, Lake Wales
is the home of Masterpiece
Gardens, Bok Tower, Spook Hill
and-MOSQUITOS.
Eastman’s main interests lie in
music and Christianity. “I figure
by attending Brevard I would be
able to kill two birds with one
stone - music and religion.”
Although he has no idea of a
specific field in which he would
like to enter, Eastman is a music
major here. He became in
terested in music at a young age
because he was surrounded by it
at his father’s night club. Now
Eastman plays various in
struments but has a special in
terest in the drums. When
Eastman was six, he had been
give a small drum set on his
Father’s birthday. He couldn’t
quite understand this gesture
since it wasn’t his birthday on
which he received them. East
man says that “playing the
drums is the only thing that I’ve
never gotten enough or tired of
besides climbing the ladder of
Christianity.”
When asked what his goal was,
Eastman replied, “That’s like
asking someone what your
purpose for living is.” He goes on
to say, “Two years ago I had no
goal, but I figure that if I can
achieve two things out of life. I’ll
be happy.” These two things
being: “to understand myself
better and to try to help i.e.
people, society, nature, anything
as long as I can do something
good for them. With these two
things, I have a purpose.”
Class Suggestions Prove Interesting
by Yvonne Roop
The most familiar statement
around campus at registration
time is, “There’s nothing on this
list to choose from,” and “I get
tired of the same ole classes; why
can’t we have some new course
selection for a change?” With
this in mind, I took on the task of
surveying students and faculty
for new course suggestions. I
thought it would be interesting
and challenging to hear the
opinions and I felt sure there
would be many suggestions.
I questioned approximately 25
students and several teachers.
One would think that with all the
courses not taught at Brevard
that the same suggestion would
be mentioned at least twice;
however, this was not the case.
Underwater basket-weaving was
mentioned several times, but that
is a joke within itself. The other
courses suggested were an ad
vanced philosophy class,
recording engineering - with
more studio jazz studies, elec
tronics, human anatomy,
astronomy, library science,
religion that interprets the
Gospels only, geography, ad
vance computer programming,
ballet. Karate or Judo, etc. There
were a few others mentioned, but
most of the courses suggested
were courses taught at 4 year
institutions and are beyond junior
college level. One student
remarked, “I do not think I could
ask for more from a junior
college such as Brevard; that is
the only answer I have.”
Many of the above suggestions
were given to me by the same
students. There were a number of
students who had no suggestions
to offer. Afterwards, I asked
myself where the students went
that were always dissatisfied at
registration.
The faculty took a completely
different stand on the question of
new course suggestions. The
majority of the teachers had no
suggestions to offer. Their
opinion was that with more
classes added, transfers would be
much more difficult. They also
said that if too many courses
were added for selection the
courses would interfere with the
problem of separating the junior
college from four year schools.
The courses that were suggested
by faculty were white-water
canoeing and introduction to
creative writing. One faculty
member also stated that he’d like
to see World Literature rein
stated.
