UPDATES ON SPRING SGA EVENTS LISTED
Jeff Battle, directw of student activities, has released an update rai details
of several scheduled Spring Semester events.
The Craig Karges Mentalist Show has been rescheduled fw Wednesday,
March 21, 7-10 p.m. in Dunham. Battle says, "This fellow bends spoons
and reads minds and such," and that it is not a "magic" show as originally
listed in th BC Spring Semester Campus Events Schedule.
Other changes in that publication:
The Friday, March 23, showing of the Star Wars trilogy has been
moved from Taylor Lobby to the Rutherford Room of the Cafeteria to allow
room for the use of the new video projector.
Saturday Night Live Night has been rescheduled to Saturday, March 24,
at 7 p.m. in Dunham.
The 1990 Spring Formal is set for Saturday, March 31, at Deer Park
Inn on the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. The Boneshakers, a popular band
with Cellar Door Entertainment, Inc. will provide the music. Battle says the
dance is formal, and no one wearing jeans, cutoffs, tennis shoes or T-shirts
will be allowed in. Also, "Obviously intoxicated persons will not be
allowed into the dance," Battle says. In order to reduce the price of the event,
dinner won't be served. The cost of this year’s ticket is $7.
However, there will be an "all-you-can-drink" soft drink bar, included in
the ticket price, says Battle.
BC BUSINESS OFHCE HOURS CHANGED
Beginning on March 1, The BC Business Office is reducing its
customer service counter hours to 9 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
In making the announcement, Director of Financial Affairs Dale Wiener
says the split operations and the workload and training requirements
associated with the project to computerize the business office functions
requires that he make this adjustment.
Wiener says this is a temporary situation while his personnel complete
essential training needed to upgrade the business office computer systems
and software programs.
Essentially, this means that counter operations such as check cashing,
making change, picking up checks, dropping off time cards and requests for
payment, etc. must be accomplished during the new hours of operation.
COLLEGE DAY SET FOR MARCH 5
Brevard College will host another College Day program on Monday,
March 5, from 2:30-4 p.m. in the Rutherford Room of A.G. Myers Dining
Hall.
A total of 85 colleges and universities from the Southeast and beyond
have been invited.
This event will feature public and private senior colleges and
universities with whom BC has direct transfer agreements and contracts.
Transfer Counselor Adelaide Miller says this will be last chance for BC
students to meet college representatives on this campus this academic year.
She urges all students to attend. Representatives will be able to answer
financial aid and admissions questions about their respecuve schools.
Freshmen are particularly encouraged to attend. It s not too ear y or
them to be thinking about their transfer plans, says Miller.

CORRECTION:
In the last Clarion, the story about the Battle of the
spelled Dane Peterson's name. Also, the story shou
was no entry fee for bands to complete. The Clarion regie
Preston Woodruff in action with a religion class: after having
Woodruff for Old Testament, students will never again think of "The
Song of Solomon" quite the same. (Clarion photo by Jock Lauterer)
Preston Woodruff:
Knowledge and adventure merge...
(From Page 2)
which probably wouldn't appeal to the
student who wasn’t really interested in
the subject."
Not only does he dig writing and
archeology, but he digs Renaissince
music and West Coast jazz. A love of
music is exerted in his workshop at
home where he builds music
instruments.
One day in class. Woodruff brought
an Elizabethan lute that he built and
played for Princess Margaret at the
4(X)th anniversary celebration of North
Carolina. The students gathered in the
front of the class and rocked out to the
"Song of Solomon," eagerly awaiting
the next timid singer appointed by
Woodruff to sing a phrase.
Although he chose to teach religion
rather than be a minister, he is
constantly reading theology. His
objective views could be stated that
religion and science need to co-exist as
he says," Galileo was criticized by
religious officials, but he was right and
they knew it." He beleives that the
problem is unfortunate, adding, "The
church needs to give up denying many
scientifically-proven fallacies, whereas,
on the other hand, science needs to give
up thinking that religion must be given
up."
He says, "Society is evolving in
fits. Things have evolved greatly in 30
years. Exciting change is coming
about"
Even in this modem day and age,
religion can make a powerful impact
forcing change. He says, "God allows us
to create our lives without any scripts.
God just turns us loose believing ’You
are precious, let's sec what you can do.'
Then you decide to do good or bad."
Satisfied with his position in life.
Woodruff commits to accepting the
challenge of the unexpected.
And so the mystery goes on!
"Why?" is not a good question. How the
puzzle evolves and connects is more
interesting.
