Fall Colloquia Begins Today
Mr. Stuart Udalll, former Secretary of Interior.
by Sandy Hulbert
Who says Brevard does not
have any culture? Starting
September 16, Brevard College,
along with a grant from the
Sperry and Hutchinson Foun
dation, will sponsor the first
annual Fall Colloquia. The event
will begin at noon on September
16 and continue all day the 17th. It
will consist of countless activities
beginning with mountain folk
music, folk dancing and many
discussions on interesting topics.
This year Brevard is honored
with the presence of Mr. Stuart
Udall, the former Secretary of
Interior under Presidents
Kennedy and Johnson. He is also
known for the best-seller, “The
Energy Balloon,” and is now
firmly established as one of the
country’s most requested lec
turers on energy/environmental
problems. His presentation will
be on, “Where Will The Golden
Eagle Land In 2000?” Udall
surveys the quality of life today
and asks, “What happened to the
American Dream?” He is not a
doomsday forecaster who says it
is too late, but he knows the
sordid facts cannot be ignored.
Beginning at 9:00 a.m. on the
following day, numerous
presentations have been
scheduled with the help of Miss
Nicholson, coordinator of Fall
Colloquia. These programs will
deal with a variety of eminent
topics. There are also many
displays and exhibits.
Recreational activities have also
been planned including various
hikes and dorm competition.

hard hitting and good defense.
The overall competition for the
men was very close. The winner
was Green. The tradition of the
dorm that catches the derby
generally held true again. East
Beam excelled in all their events
and were the overall champs for
the women.
Quite a bit of attention was
placed on the ‘Bread Eating
Contest’. Over forty people dared
to eat as much bread as possible
within one mmute. The rules
stated that nothing could be
drunk in that time span. Two men
came out in a tie, John Estridge
and Zelik Tennenbaum^eating six
slices of bread each. This
amazing task has been sent to the
Guiness Book of World Records.
Music Center Renovation Underway
By Missi Ellison
This first semester of school is
going to be a hectic one for the
Fine Arts department Here at
Brevard — most notably for those
majoring or interested in music.
Thanks to the cooperation of the
people at the First United
Methodist Church just across
campus, music majors tramp to
their classes through the nursery
and down the steps into Sunday
School classrooms.
Music students are not the only
persons affected by the much
needed renovation of the Dunham
Music Center, however. To quote
Dr. Larry Whatley of the music
faculty, “My office consists of
two brief cases, a rather large
box, and a ’64 Chevrolet which
used to be a green color splotched
with rust and is now the other
way around.” Those interested in
contacting Dr, Whatley might
profit by checking the office
hours posted on his rear fender.
The art department, located —
to the rear of the library is just
now getting under way with this
semester’s round ol activities.
There are quite a number of
talented and interesting artists
here at Brevard - it's usually
worthwhile to drop in and take a
look around occasionally.
In drama, tryouts for the
production of “The Man Who
Came to Dinner” have just
concluded and rehearsals have
begun. We are anticipating yet
another fine production by our
consistently excellent drama
department. Everyone make
plans to attend.
People connected with the Fine
Arts departments here in
Brevard are very excited about
the upcoming season; it promises
to be not only fulfilling but a lot of
fun. Join us.
