Trustees Consider New Student Housing
by Jon Zillioux
A committee of the Brevard
College Board of Trustees is cur
rently considering a plan for ad
ditional student housing, possibly
to be constructed this summer,
revealed Dr. Morris Wray, Dean
of the college, late last vk-eek.
Since the concept of the new
housing is currently in the pro
postal stage and slated for full
bound discussion in late April, no
construction bids have been
solicted and no final design plan
has been reached.
According to Dr. Wray, ex
isting dorms provide for only 600
students while 800 currently at
tend Brevard. “We’d like to close
the gap,’’stated Dean Wray.
Funding for the project will not
likely come from private
sources. “Federal money is just
not available to us,” stated Mr.
Frank Davis, Director of
Development and spokesman for
Brevard College.
According to a memo Mr.
Davis provided the Clarion,
“Costs will ultimately be paid by
fees received from the students
who actually live there. This is a
standard method for financing
student housing, and will not af
fect any other areas of the col
lege’s operational budget.” add
ed Mr. Davis, “It’ll be its own
package within the budget.”
Dean Wray pointed out that a
student may pay roughly and ad
ditional $25 to boarding fees to
live in the new complex.
According to a college official.
applications for these new apart
ments. will be distributed in the
near future “because the concept
may well be approved (and) if we
wait until after the plan’s ap
proval in early May, it will be to
late for (rising) sophomores to
sign up to live there.” The first
apartments built will be
available to males only, however.
The construction site has been
set in the area between the Roses
Department store and the faculty
duplexes. According to Dean
Spring Drama
Wray, each housing complex will
consist of four separate
apartments-two on two floors;
each apartment will hosue six
students.
According to the tenative
design plan, each apartment will
have three bedrooms, two
bathrooms, a kitchen and dining
area, and a living room, proposed
by Mr. Bob Daniels, area ar
chitect.
“Over a period of time, we plan
to build a total of four
complexes,” stated Dr. Wray.

ROTC To Begin loeposits
Refundable
by Jon Zillioux
Contrary to previous notice,
deposits which continuing
students are required to make
before the upcoming preregistra
tion will be refundable.
This move was made by Dean
Wray to prevent students from
losing deposits ($50 for boarding;
$15 for day, in these financially
tight times should one decide to
attend college elsewhere. “This
way a student won’t lose his
[money which he may need
elsewhere,” the Dean stated.
Deposits should be posted to the
Office of Financial Affairs before
preregistration forms are receiv
ed and before rooms can be
reserved.
Deposits will be refundable un
til August 1, 1982.
As a part of the Life and
Cultural Series, Brevard College
Professor Sam Cope presents the
spring production of the college
drama department, BOEING-
BOEING by Marc Camoletti on
April 1, 2, & 3 at 8:15 p.m. in the
Barn Theatre on the Brevard
campus.
The play follows the misadven
tures of a young bachelor, Ber
nard, who carries on three
simultaneous romances with
three different airline
stewardesses, one with Air
France, one with Luftansa and
one with TWA. Everything is
under control and rather pleasant
for Bernard until the airlines
change their flight schedules and
Bernard’s “friends” all end up in
the same city at the same time
with him. The confusion leads to
hilarious situations and
Barnard’s friend, Robert, who is
visiting from the country, not on
ly learns a great deal about life in
the city, but becomes involved in
Bernard’s problems himself.
Throughout the play Bernard’s
housekeeper, Bertha, tries to
keep up with the ever changing
situation.
The cast of the production in
cludes the following characters:
Barnard, a young bachelor-Kyle
Genaway; Robert, Bernard’s
friend-Len Brown; Bertha, Ber-
nard’s housekeeper-Victoria
Rives; The three financees: Jac-
quline. Air France-Dee Smith;
Judith, Luftansa—Robin Ashe;
Janet, TWA-Pam Brittingham.
Tickets are available at the
Receptionist’s desk in the Ad
ministration Building from 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Advanced reser
vations must be made.

As a result of long-time plann
ing in conjunction with Furman
University and the Army,
Brevard College will be offering
an ROTC program beginning
next fall. Brad Walters’ father,
the Asst. Sec. of the Army, of
fered to assist in starting such a
program at Brevard, and accor
ding to Dean Wray, the possibili
ty was discussed with President
Martinson. Plans are “still ten
tative, however, subject to
establishment by the Board of
Trustees.” Several years ago
Brevard asked the Army about
tte possibility but they weren’t
interested. “As a result,” Dean
Wray stated, “Furman Universi
ty approached us asking about
the possibility of running a cross
enrollment program between
Furman and Brevard College.”
The program will consist of two
levels, a basic and advanced pro
gram. The basic program will be
offered at Brevard. Two more
courses, World Military History
and National Defense Policy,
each worth three elective hours
will be open to any student. A
leadership lab will also be offered
to those actually enrolled in the
program. No military obligation
exists during the first two
but for those who enroll in the Ad
vanced Level, up to $1000 a year
is involved and there is an obliga-
*^'*According to Dean Wray, no
scholarship options will be
available during the first two
years except for those who
qualify for the Advanced Pro
gram. To qualify, a student must
have been enrolled in High School
ROTC for a specified amount ot
time, or attend an ROTC summer
camp.
