Poets Corner
SOUTH
He was . . .milk and worn cotton.
Sitting scanty in white washed rooms
that lay inside houses. Small boxes
plopped in the midst of drought felt
tobacco. With him the world was too ripe,
and the Green loved to an almost Blue.
He washed in his tub-basin atmosphere.
Washing thru rippled dreams, with
uneven blocks of cake soap.
Rinsing from the tired green waterhose.
He was skin lovely.
Basking beside his sweetwater.
And I crouched deep, sure to know
he could now sense me there.

THE OLD HOUSE
Webs overhead, over hung
The owner of the house has left for the day
Left for the day
Opposite sides beating in gusts
The strides pound and the chains break
Shrieks rebound through the vacant halls
These are the stories
I was told
When I was younger
Now I know that the house lives
The air ungulates through clear lungs
Like my thoughts through my head
I know the revelations of the wood
They prate of my where abouts
The echoes of my words are indeed, haun
ting
That’s what I wanted
I was told
when I was younger

to Director of the Library Mike McCabe.
The INFOTRAC Academic Index pro
vides almost instant bibliographic
references to 390 scholarly and general in
terest journals, plus the New York Times -
all on a single compact disc that can be ac
cessed through a computer. The system is
fast and easy to use, McCabe says.
The new system which is set up in the
reference area of the library is one type of
new technology the library is investigating

chimes, tympani, drum set, drums, tom
toms, cymbals and gongs.
Daniel says, “A percussion ensemble is
just like any other ensemble - with the ex
ception of their being no wind in
struments; everything is a percussion in
strument.”
Daniel says some of the tunes to be
played include “Time for Jazz,” “Suite for
Percussion,” and “Three Asiatic Dances.”
The concert will also feature something
new to BC: a marimba tmnd, according to

The Brevard Postmaster Dale Edmonds
has announced that if mail coming to BC
students doesn’t have “Brevard College”
on the envelope, it will be “returned to
sender,” according to Bookstore and Col
lege post office manager Debbie Cantrell.
Cantrell advises that BC students notify
friends and relatives to t>e sure to ad “BC”
to their mail.
The confusion arrises because of the
Brevard Post Office assumes box number
to be boxes at the main post office in town,
not that at BC, which in effect is a separate
post office.
Jeff Angelo won first place and Lisa Henry
won second in a contest held in October to
design a bookmark for the library. Copies
of the new bookmarks will be printed and
distributed to students soon.
