Hauser, Moore, and LaLnmore
Newly Elected Officers Plan for 1980
by Alison Cooperman
“The newly elected Student
Association officers for the
coming year are David Hauser,
President, Neel Lattimore,
Judicial Vice President, and
Steve Moore, Social Vice
President.
One of Hausers top goals is to
try to keep the student body well
informed of the make up of the
student government - who the
officers are, and their actions
affecting the student body. Also
he would like to see better
communication with the students
and government so that they can
do the jobs that they are there
for. He feels that the present
officers “stood out as leaders”
and people knew that they were
the officers but didn’t know what
offices they held and what they
did. In addition, Hauser feels that
in the past the students should
have been more willing to con
front the officers with
suggestions so that the
obligations the offices held would
have oeen distributed better
between the members of the
Student Association.
David thought that the social
activities planned for this past
year were “exceptional for a
small school”. He would have
liked to see the activities go over
better with more students par
ticipation. His plans for next year
are tentative, but one idea in
the making is a Fall Fest similar
to our recent Spring Fest. All the
plans for next year will be drawn
up the week after the end of
school.
Moore has a very positive
outlook for next year. He hopes to
do "very constructive things on
campus” which will take “a lot of
hard work” to accomplish but “if

people are willing to work, I think
we can have a good year.”
All of our new officers stress
the need for your suggestions to
tell them what you want. They
also stress the importance of
open communications with them
which in turn will go to the ad
ministration.
Neel Lattimore is “very
pleased” that he has been elected
to the Judiciary Board and he
believes that he can do “a good
job at it.” He believes that the
student association is a “good
medium” between the student
body and the student govern
ment. He hopes that the Judicial
Board will gain the respect of the
administration and vice versa.
As of yet, he has no idea for any
major changes in the system;
however, he plans to work with
his colleagues and take a closer
look at the point system. (He
believes that it’s very critical
that a revised point system be
introduced.) Lattimore is glad
however for the point system. He
believes that there was more
common between the Board of
Continuation rather than saying a
fine and not seeing the student at
all.
One thing Lattimore didn’t like
about this past year is that the
Judicial Board would made a
decision and the administration
would sometimes make its own
ruling on it. He doesn’t believe
that was fair. He believes that the
Judicial Board should be in
formed as to why the ad
ministration chooses to overrub
the Judiciary Board. Lattimore
would like to see a student,
namely himself, on the Board of
Continuation so that he could have
a better understanding of the
administration so that he can ‘ ‘do
a better job.”
Neel is “very excited” about
next year and is pleased with
whose been elected. He has high
hopes for his colleagues and
himself to work as a unit to “work
for the school” to make next year
better by trying to “iron out this
years problems.”
The last officer, Steve Moore,
was pleased that he was chosen to
represent the Social Board. He is
“looking forward to the
responsibility.” He’s decided that
he will not make any drastic
changes and “to continue with
the same things.” However, he
will always “remain open for
suggestions” to alter the
program to make it better if he
can. This past year, Steve liked
there being many activities each
week, the variety of the ac
tivities, and the movies and
concerts. Furthermore, he would
like to see one major event each
month next year — funds
providing.
Ledbetter’s Reviews
Pam Aikens - An
Outstanding Sophomore
When Pam Aikens was in high
school, her music teacher
decided to start an orchestra.
“She didn’t know the difference
between a viohn and a viola, so
she gave me a viola and said go
play it,” says Pam. Today, seven
years later, Pam is still playing
the viola. In fact, her activity in
the Brevard College music
department is one of the reasons
that Pam was chosen as one of
The Clarion’s outstanding
sophomores.
While at Brevard, Pam has
been a Big Sister, a member of
Collegiate Singers, played in the
Brevard Chamber Orchestra, a
member of judicial board, and
was nominated to “Who’s Who in
American Junior Colleges.”
She spends four or more hours
a day practicing piano and viola.
This semester she is very busy
accompanying sophomore
recitals. About the music
department she says, “The ap
plied teachers are the best
anywhere in the south.” Her viola
teacher, Irene Hall, applauds
Pam, “I have enjoyed having
Pam for a student this year. She
run where runners were
motivated by fans’ faces and
trophy displays. A replica of
security’s car was literally
turne ^ over when students
relie\ d pent up tensions; a
Frisb e contest displayed skill
and ccuracy. Although rain
force' an indoor picnic the Blue
Grass Festival still echoed en-
thusie Ti. Greg Greenway, a
Breve d alumnus, stimulated
crow( at two performances
when le played a song dedicated
to D an Wray and Brevard
studei is. At the spring dance
persoiis enjoyed socializing in
semi-formal wear and per
forming some dance steps to
“Staircase”.
In addition, for Valentine’s Day
a “Sweetheart Dance” was
sponsored by the social board and
the Nemos and Delphians - the
campus sorority and fraternity.
A “Sweetheart Court” was
elected consisting of eight men
and women. Ron Jones and Paula
Cox were crowned king and
queen while Vere Fisher and
Melissa Lambert were prince
and princess. Another activity
which encouraged persons to
hum such originals as “She’s A
Dancer” was the Gene Cotton
concert where many students
learned that his cousin is a
Brevardian.
Various other organizations
promoted the BC experience. For
instance Kappa Chi, a Christian
club, sponsored a world day of
prayer and also a time for
fasting. Brevard’s PTK chapter.
Delta Pi, hosted the regional
convention this year where
Donna Harriger won the Most
Distinguished Member Award.
Also several Delta Piers attended
the national convention held in
Washington, D.C. at which time
Debbie Moseman won Southern
V.P.
In order to keep the BC product
in demand the Financial Aid
Department revivied the
oratorical contest which en
couraged nine competitors. Out
of the five finalists, three winners
were selected: Clara Allen, first
place; Debi Crane, second; and
Judy Early, third,
On the whole the BC product is
irrevocable. At Brevard it is
defined, given a purpose, placed
in operation, promoted, and
manufactured. For sophomores
now is the time to sell this
product. But remember not to
sell yourself short, for inflation
can also occur in a human being.
This Year’s Music
Is Gk)od Listening
Of all the albums to come out in the last year, some
were good and proved to be very beneficial to the artist
or group. On the other hand, those that were supposed to
be good turned out to be somewhat disappointing to
many rock fans. Here’s just a few of those albums and
an overall opinion on them.
Eagles (The Long Run). What happened to the boys
from Southern California that used to play classic
country rock? If I were filing this album in a record
store, I would file it in the comedy section.
Dan Fogelberg (Phoenix). This guy has talent and
knows how to use it. Fogelberg has proved through his
many albums that he is capable of practically anything,
and it’s all great.
Warren Zevon (Bad Luck In Dancing School). I can
see from this, his third album, that Warren Zevon, as
wild as he may seem to some, will be around awhile. It’s
good to see an old rock and roller stay an old rock and
roller.
J. Geils Band (Love Stinks). These guys have been
around for a long time and they’re finally getting the
recognition they deserve. The album is good straight
rock.
Boz Scaggs (Middle Man). This album is good
because it sounds like the old Boz Scaggs.
Marshall-Tucker Band (Tenth). This album is good
because the band is consistent. They always put out
what Southern rock fans want to hear.
Linda Ronstadt (Mad Love). The songs on this album
are good because Linda’s voice can make any type of
music sound good, even new wave.
Jean-Luc Ponty (Taste For Passion). Jean has finally
cut loose and let his real musical expression show
through. This gave the rock generation their first real
taste of jazz fusion and Jean-Luc his first top 100 album.
Supertramp (Breakfast In America). This album was
the band s first real commercial success. Everyone
anxiously awaits their next release.
Willie Nelson (Wilhe Nelson Sings Kristofferson). If
any other artist can do justice to Kristofferson’s songs,
Willie Nelson can and does.
Bruce Springsteen and Jackson Browne (?). No new
albums out from either of these artists, but no doubt
they’ll be worth waiting for.
is cons^-ientious, an excellent
student, and has a fine attitude.”
Of her two years at Brevard
College, Pam says, “I have
developed my own identity and
figured out where I want to go.”
She plans to attend UNC-G in the
fall where she will major in
mathematics with a con
centration in computer science
and minor in music because that
line of studies “offers a good
future.”
Pam will return to Brevard
because she says, “I’ve made a
lot of very close friends here.”
Frank Lattimore
believes in
activities and people
By Mike McFarland
There are many students who
fail to be properly recognized
during their stay at B.C. One who
exemplifies being a very active,
well-rounded B.C. student is
sophomore Frank Lattimore.
Frank is involved in a variety
of activities. Drama, music and
student organizations are all
important components of Lat-
timore’s versatility. Frank has
been cast in every drama
production presented since he
has been at Brevard. Among the
dramas he was in were: Finian’s
Rainbow, Curious Savage, A
Funny Thing Happened On The
Way To The Forum and the most
recent presentation of Black
Comedy. Musically, Frank is a
member of the Chamber Choir
and Collegiate Singers. Lat
timore is an active member of the
Student Ambassadors, a Mentor
and participates in intramurals.
Lattimore plans to use the
broad-based liberal arts
education he developed at
Brevard when he goes to Ap
palachian State University to get
a B.A. degree in biology. He
hopes to either be a teacher or a
research biologist. B.C. has aided
his pursuit of an education in
Frank’s view. “The small classes
have led to individual attention.
They have helped me a lot,” says
Frank. According to Lattimore,
one of B.C.’s strongest assets is
its size because it is “easy to get
to know a lot of people.”
As many people do, Frank has
mixed emotions with regard to
graduation and leaving B.C.
behind. The general consensus
among freshmen on Frank’s hall
is that life will not be the same
next year. Lattimore says he
regrets, “leaving a lot of friends
behind, because it has been a
good two years.” Frank adds that
“I wouldn’t mind taking some of
my teachers with me because
they’ve helped me so much.
Frank is quick to add, “that I’ln
ready to get out of this place.
Lattimore’s advice to prospec
tive students and freshmen is to
“get involved in many extra
curricular activities. Keep
reasonable, though. Don’t let it
tax your studies.”
