"Write! Write! Write!"

The journalism profession is a
highly competitive field. The best way
to success is to build a resume by
gaining as much experience as possible,
said J. Richard Munro.
Munro spoke to an ojKjn journalism
class for Brevard College studenu on
Wednesday, October 3. He was on
campus to deliver the keynote address of
a Community Convocation on Literacy
later thai day.
Munro, chairman of the executive
committee of the board of directors for
Time Warner Inc., has seen success. In
his 34-year career with Time, he has
both seen and experienced success.
"Determine as quickly as you can
whether you really are a writer," he
advised journalism students, adding,
"Write! Write! Write! — because you're
always going to have to write."
According to Munro, teamwork,
ambition, aggression, desire, and the
willingness to work hard arc some of
the skills needed to achieve one's goals.
It is also necessary in a major
corporation to determine the culture of
the company, Munro advised. Make sure
the individual matches the environmenL
In other words, "'know thyself.’"
Training and apprenticeships are
very important in order to reach success.
'^'Training ground is a way in'" says
Munro. One such job is to serve as a
researcher, an aide to the main writer.
Whatever the main writer/reporter needs,
the researcher will do — from looking up
background information to running
errands.
Not only did he answer the questions
of journalism students, but Munro also
offered many tips for success.
According to ex'perts such as Munro,
talent plays a big role in a person's
success. Yet, so does fate, luck and
networking.
To succeed in the world of
journalism, Munro said, one must have
guts, desire and determination as well as
talent.

"People think that people who
attend the Environmental Awareness
Group are biology and ecology majors.
This is for everyone, because we all live
on this planet together," said Dr. Jeffery
Llewellyn.
Dr. Llewellyn began the second
meeting of the EAG this year by saying
that people are changing the
environment faster than nature can adapt
to it.
Already, living things are starting to
diminish, such as trees and amphibians.
Eventually, if nothing is done about our
world, people too will die. However, it's
not too late to correct the world's
problems, everyone can make a
difference," he said.
Last year, the EAG began with only
six people. This year it has begun witli
approximately 40 members. Llewellyn
encourages everyone to come and be part
of the group. There is no need to sign
up. All that needs to be done is to show
up.
Meetings will be held on the first
and third Monday of each month at 7:00
p.m. in the Coltrane Commons
Conference room. This month,
meetings will be Nov. 5 and 19.'
Tonight's meeting features black-and-
white slides from the Appalachians by
BC author/^hotographer Jock Lauterer.
Llewellyn has planned a trip on
November 10. He plans to take anyone
up to the Parkway where he will take
students to Richland-Balsam, Devil's
Courthouse and Graveyard Fields. In the
spring, he plans to have trail and river
cleaning projects.
The Rock Climbing Club has
worked on trail maintenance such as
putting in water breaks and removing
fallen trees. According to Llewellyn, BC
maintenance has said they will build
recycling boxes for recyclable objects.

Brevard experience has really changed
me by making me more outgoing and
more confident of myself."

home to visit her younger sister and her
black Labrador retriever. Skipper.
When I go home Skipper jumps all
over me and licks me to death,"says
Kelly. "I love dogs."
Kelly also admires her father . "My
father has been the most influential
person in my life," she says, "because
he’s the one person I could count on and
he helped me work out a lot of my
problems... he supports me in
everything I do."

of PTK (Phi Theta Kappa). She is also
a member of social board, SGA

flute, and waterskiing. In addition, as
vice president of 1989 Seneca High
School, she likes to keep in touch with
her former classmates.
She says, "If I could change
anything in the world right now I would
change what’s going on inthe Middle
East because I have some friends there
and I would get them home where
they’re safe."
After Brevard, Kellie will go to
Clemson and major in Business. "I want
to be an art administrator for artists,
singers, and opera singers by being their
manager. I will go to Furman to take a

girls in the Complex-I love them all and
will never forget them."
