The Clarion October 7, 1987 Page 3 Teacher Judy Pascals: Hola, Bonjour and Howdy by Bill Meiners “iHola, como esta?” “Bonjour ca va?” Yes and even, “Howdy, how ya’ll doing?” These are just a few of the phrases that Judy Pascale uses every day. Pascale is a new member of the faculty responsible for both the French and Spanish programs. This tall, sleek, multil ingual dancer will be carrying a heavy load. But she is ready for the challenge. Pascale is originally from Greenville, N.C., and she attended school there at East Carolina University. But Pascale has been on the move ever since. To say that she is well-traveled is an understatement. Six months studying as an undergraduate in Mexico and a scholar ship to France have been but two stops on the fascinating journey of this woman’s life. Having obtained a master’s degree in both French and Spanish from UNC- Greensboro, Pascale has taught at a number of high schools in the North Carolina area. In addition to being a master of languages, Pascale also earned a master’s degree in dance from Southern Methodist Univesity in Dallas, Texas. After that, she spent three years in the Peace Corps in El Salvador where she taught dance. Pascale claims it was “the toughest job I ever lov ed.” She also met her husband there. From El Salvador it was back to the States and New York City. Pascale studied dance in New York, and gave birth to her daughter there. Prior to coming to BC, Pascale taught at UNC-G, where she also received her master’s degree in Spanish. Of Brevard College Pascale said, “I think I’m going to like it.” She enjoys the freedom of having her own syllabus. “I also like the enthusiasm of the students,” she said, “especially in the clubs.” “I would like to get a Ph.D. in com parative language between French and Spanish,” Pascale said. “1 would also like to find some place to live and stop moving around so much,” she said. As for now, Pascale is faced with the tough responsibility of raising a 6-year-old daughter by herself. Along with juggling the languages, Pascale is a very busy per son. She does admit to getting confus^ sometimes— “quite a bit in French,” she said, “since the Spanish is fresher in my head.” Language Clubs starting by Kathy Harbin Are you having fun yet? If your answer is less than enthusiastic, maybe you should check out one of Brevard’s two foreign language clubs.

A good word for a kind deed To Jay Bird; Love your boxers!! I From Sly This positive note came to the Clarion from the Dean’s office. A woman who iden tified herself only as a local senior citizen phoned Dean Langley last Monday ex pressing her thanks to two helpful and friendly BC students. The caller, a visiting senior citizen, said she fell while at the Student Union. In response to the accident, two BC women came up to help and two others offered assistance. The caller went on to say that the younger generation may get a lot of “bad press” these days but that the BC students were a credit to the school. “It was a very pleasant and positive ex perience,” the caller told the dean. “I ap preciate the concern of your students." She said she was sorry she didn’t get the students’ names because she wanted to thank them.
