Student Poll: Some Say BC Needs Fire Drills
By Wand^ Raines
A survey conducted in Jones Hall after
a recent fire on the third floor of that
dorm concluded that most people believe
fire drills should be instigated on cam
pus.
Others commented that a plan of
escape should be specified. Still others
say drills and plans of escape are but a
waste of time.
Responses of some of those polled are
as follows:
Freshman Denise Reddick: “I feel that
they (the drills) are necessary for the
protection of our property, as well as our
lives.”
Freshman Denece Talley: “If there
was a fire, there would be a panic situa
tion, so something should be
pre-planned.”
Freshman Laura Davis: “We need fire
drills for practice; an escape plan and
perhaps a meeting demonstrating to us
how to work fire extinguishers would
help.”
Freshman Cheryl Vickers: “Yes, for
safety reasons, so people would know
what to do in case of a fire.”
Sophomore Jennifer Darby: “Yes, we
should have fire drills to promote student
awareness.”
Sophomore Michelle Weisheit: “Yes,
because I believe this building is unsafe;
the wall are hot and I’m afraid they 11
catch on fire.”
However, others stated otherwise.
Sophomore Susie Kelly: “They should
give us an escape plan, but by the time
you get to college, you should be able to
find your way out of a building in case of
fire.”
Others agreed with Susie in that escape
plans would be helpful, but that the actual
fire drill practice would be a waste of
time.

The plot brings together the
“mad” Sycamore family and the
unhappy Kirby family, but before
the play has progressed very far
the audience realizes that if the
Sycamores are mad, the rest of
the world is madder.
Tony, the attractive son of the
Kirbys’, falls in love with Alice
Sycamore and brings his parents
to dine with the Sycamores the
wrong evening.
After seeing the two families
together Alice decides she cannot
marry Tony. The Sycamores,
though sympathetic with Ahce,
cannot understand her reasoning.
Tony, who likes the Sycamores
and feels they are right and his
family is wrong, will not give
Alice up. All of these events occur
amid the strange activities of cer
tain members of the Sycamore
family.
A Sycamore is manufacturing
fireworks, one has a printing
press in a the parlor, and Grand
pa has an interview with the tax
collector in which Grandpa tells
him that he doesn’t beheve in in
come tax.
“Our particular production has
been a fun show to put together; I
have a nice group to work with,
some inexperienced talent, but
everybody had been responsible
and responsive,” stated Mr.
Cope. “A lot of hard work, and a
great many hours have gone into
it; if people miss the show they
will have missed a very fun even
ing,” he added.
Members of the cast include
Len Brown as Grandpa, Pam
Brittingham as Penelope
Sycamore, Jamie Tucker as Paul
Sycamore, Pamela Ward as
Essie Carmichael, and Jeff
Rockett as Ed Carmichael.

Numerous law officials attend
ed Brevard College’s Law En
forcement Recognition Day on
October 20.
Among the special guests were
Police Chief L.B. Vaughn,
members of the Brevard Police
Department, Sheriff Milford
Hubbard, members of the Tran
sylvania County Sheriff’s Depart
ment members of the N.C.
Highway Patrol, Brevard Mayor
Charles Campbell, County Com
missioner Bill Ives, Judge Robert
Gash, SBI agent David Jones,
and the BC Security Staff.
The highlight of the evening
was a short speech given by John
Quigley, an FBI representative
from Asheville.
Quigley stated, ‘‘The only thing
neLsary for evil to tnumph is
for good men to do nothing.
He then proceeded to describe
law officer. The FBI agent said
the law officer “works whik
others sleep and play;” his
“every action is scrutinized and
sometimes criticized.”
In addition, he said we look to
officers “to be tough, fair,
understanding, and to protect life
and property.”
Quigly summed up his ideas by
saving, “How do you spell relief?
I spell relief ‘Y’, ‘O’, ‘U’. You
(law officers) are our relief from
anxiety and fear.”

were presented to the Tran
