Mark Twain’ A Hit
By Susan Rogers
John Chappell returned to
Brevard College on September 22
to perform “Mark Twain on
Stage” as the third event in the
Life and Culture Series.
Chappell appeared in the
familiar white three-piece suit.
According to Chappell-as-Twain,
“the clothes make the man. Nak
ed people have little influence.”
Using a vast store of material,
including carefully collected and
edited work borrowed with per
mission from Hal Halbrook,
Chappell has fashioned several
hours of material. Because he
picks and chooses from the
material as he goes along, no two
performances are exactly the
same.
Chappell uses the slow, stiff
movements of Twain to create an
“Outward Bound”
Courses Offered
Over 8,000 men and women,
both adults and students, will
take part in a unique program
called “Outward Bound” this
year. Designed so that par
ticipants will meet challenging
experiences in wilderness set
tings, Outward Bound courses
take place year-round in sixteen
states. While many come to Out
ward Bound seeking a taste of
high adventure-and they’ll pro
bably get it-most will leave with
a new understanding of
themselves after discovering
they are capable of doing things
they might previously have
thought “impossible.” Outward
Bound believes many limits are
self-imposed.
Mountain backpacking, canoe
ing, skiing and snowshoeing, sail
ing, kayaking, cycling, rafting,
and even dogsledding form the
core of the Outward Bound ex
perience, depending on the en
vironment in which the course
takes place. Previous outdoor
skills are unnecessary, as is
special equipment other than per
sonal clothing and boots. Each
small group of students has one
or more expert instructors and
specialists who help them
develop outdoor and interper
sonal skills, culminatipg in a
“Pinal expedition,” with
minimal instructor supervision.

informal atmosphere for his
anecdotes, advice, and ghost
stories.
As Mark Twain, Chappell has
“seen all the countries I care to
see, except Heaven and Hell, and
I have only a vague curiosity
about one of those.”
John Chappell started out in
1968 to create a masterly inper
sonation of the creator of Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
He is not only skilled on stage but
will be a regular on “After-
M*A*S*H*,” a new television
series airing this fall. He will play
the part of the hospital ad
ministrator in the series.

much nicer in East Beam where
they reside now, than West
Beam, where they have resided
in past years. They are satisfied
with the switch. The only pro

West Beam to be closer to the
“activities” that go on in the
courtyard.

Students React
To Beam Switch
By Lisa Funk
Student reactions to the recent
switchover in Beam Dormitory
have been varied.
The typical answer for
sophomore girls is mostly
negative. The rooms in West
Beam are a wreck, they say,
especially third floor. The noise
level is higher if one lives on the
side of West Beam facing the
library, and the extra flight of
stairs to West Beam is ex
hausting! However, there was
one good feeling toward the
switch; as Patsy Gazaleh says,
“We’re closer to the classroom
buildings!”
The men living in East Beam
reacted differently towards the
