The Clarion Tuesday, February 3, iggj •Elrtton'als Knowledge What is knowledge? I stopped once to briefly answer the question. And now I wonder what I said. Is it what makes me think or does it bring me down? Knowledge is way of communicating. It is part of the energy with in day to day life. It makes it possible to live in the 2Qth century civilization. Where to go, how to be, what to say and sort it all out at the same time. Its a wonderful gift from God, our brain. Now with all of this knowledge why do I still ponder the questions why am I learning all this and what am I going to be when I grow up? The classic answers are Eo the first) because it gives me knowledge and ^0 the latter)whatever I do best will give me long term satisfaction. Ingrained in my belief system is the idea that I must learn all that I can to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life. Where are the experiences that knowledge brings and that satisfication in knowing that I am gaining knowledge? Many students especially sophomores are pondering those questions. Decisions have to be made con cerning college next year^ settling down linto a specific major^and whether or not to go back to school. This major step in a person’s life ^ has the elements risk, ad venture and awareness. This is knowledge about each individual and I find many students avoid taking the time to seriously consider what is important and necessary for them selves. Each person should spend some time discovering the many alternatives he has in life. Knowledge can be reached by some through books and by others through ex periences. We can pick and choose what we wish to know and how we wish to learn it. Knowledge is not a scary thing. Because while I learn such things d -h 1 = 2, F = ma, Washington was the first President, there are 100 pennies in a dollar and what a comma splice is) I also gain an equally infinite number of facts about myself and what gives me satisfaction. All I need is the time to sort it all out. I won’t have all the answers but I have a clearer picture of myself, and a direction possibly created by all that knowledge. Knowledge can be a fun experience if it has direction and someone who wishes to guide it.

It was suggested that the assembly form a questionnaire for feedback from students to see if they would be receptive to the idea. This same idea was brought up at the December 1st meeting by the Judicial V.P. Neel Lat timore. P. Scott Corbett mentioned during the meeting that the final word would have to come from Dr. Martinson. Kim Armstrong, another advisor, stressed if these changes were to come, there would be stricter enforcement of rules and fines. The Constitution Committee held its second meeting with many chairs empty Wednesday January 24th. Present only were three delegates from the SUA ana two advisors. The Chairman, D.C. Taylor, had no comment but to say that something would be said at the next SGA Assembly’s weekly meeting concerning the turnout. Weekends were made for... by Laura Gabel A recent poll was taken on the Brevard College campus to find out exactly what the students do for en tertainment on the weekends. Social Board provides ample en tertainment on the weekends, such as discos, casino nights, movies, etc., but it is a difficult task for the members of the Social Board to reach the needs of the college students since certain activities that usually occur on other college campuses are not allowed on the Brevard College campus. Here are samples of the responses we received when asking the students what they did on the weekends Wilbert Carter: “If there isn’t any homework, I play music since there’s nothing else to do. I’ve learned how to gamble and chase women.” Elizabeth Wolford: “I spend them with my boyfriend, and go to parties.” Joan Smith: “I clean my room and catch up on my sleep.” Bill Welsh: “None of your business” Chris Rector: “I give it all I’ve got’,’ Robin Ashe: “Sleep, and think about what I could be doing if I were elsewhere.” Bernie Floyd: “Eat, do laundry, and go to Charlotte whenever I can.” Susie Rowan: “I go to Clemson.” George Helton: “Watch T.V. and study.” Steve Lauria: “Study, go camping, and get intoxicated.” Carolyn Welsh: “Wouldn’t you like to know?” In conclusion we have found that many students feel there isn’t enough offered by the community of Brevard. Some of the students interviewed suggested that the community should have some place nearby where the students can go without having to drive all the way to Hendersonville or Asheville. Despite the fact that Brevard is in a dry county, students feel they should have some place where they can go and bring their own drinks and just have fun without worrying about being ' “busted” by security.
