Page 2 The Clarion Sunday, August 22,1982 Administrators Recruit Instructors 15 Newcomers Join Faculty There are several new faces on the Brevard College faculty tliis fall. The need for new faculty resulted primarily from . the retirement of two persons, from the decision of two others to return to school to continue work on their doctorates, from career decisions on the part of two, and from an approved leave of absence. Retiring from the faculty of Brevard College at the conclusion of the 1981-82 academic year were Mario Perez, Professor of Economics and Accounting, and Dr. Viola Perez, Professor of Spanish. Replacing Mr. Perez, in part, is Dr. Richard W. Dittmer, a graduate of Colgate University who earned his Ph.D. in economics from Yale.

Attention Journalists; By Jon Ziliioux The CLARION wants you! As a result of last spring’s graduation, the CLARION staff dwindled down to a small number. It becomes necessary, therefore, for the paper to recruit some staffers for this year’s paper. Who does the CLARION need? Anybody who likes to write and get satisfication from seeing a good article in print. You don’t have to be a hard-nosed journalist to become a part of the CLARION. If you like music, and you’re knowledgeable in that area, you could write album and concert reviews; if sports is your thing, become a sports writer for the CLARION. Or if you feel the need to criticize something (good or bad) about Brevard College, or the coun try, become an editorial writer. The editorial page of the CLARION (page two in regular issues) pro vides a great opportunity for one to express his opi nion to a lot of people. And, of course, the CLARION is looking for ex perienced journalists. The CLARION needs some enthusiastic students who take their writing (and the newspaper) seriously. By becoming a member, a student will benefit not only be improving his writing, he’ll learn a thing or two about journalism, and, provid ed he makes a good contribution to the paper, pick up one-half hour’s credit in English each semester. Interested students should contact either Mr. Ken Chamlee (M-G 130), or Jon Ziliioux (campus box 80). Watch for signs announcing for Clarion’s first meeting.
