BC says goodbye to two resident directors by Alex Bedient Clarion Staff Writer All of the Resident Directors (RDs) feel the same way in reference to being an RD here on the Brevard College campus. The hours that they work will vary, but unless they have the day or weekend off, they are on duty 24 hours a 7 days a week. TVvo of the RDs who have given their full attention to the Brevard College campus for 24 and 7 this year will be leaving Brevard College soon, and they will be missed: Judy Dodson and Sybil Dodson. Judy Dodson heard of Brevard College through Brad Dodson. Judy has been working here as an RD since last spring. She has also been the RD here over this past summer’s Summer School. Judy now wants to go to graduate school or work somewhere for ‘Unity’ to host step shows, R&B band Special to the Clarion from the BC News Bureau On Saturday April 30, Unity, the Brevard College club that seeks to promoted discussion and understanding among all students on the BC campus, will present a step show and an R&B band, “II Nice.” The show, which will begin at 8 p.m. in Dunham, will be free to all Brevard College students.

V'i* a year and wants to stay in the Western North Carolina area. When asked if she will miss the students, Judy replied, “Yeah, I’ll miss them. Part of me is ready for a change but the other part wants to stay.” One big piece of advice that she would give to the person who will come in and replace her is: “Take time for yourself and get away from here to prevent from being burnt out and suffering from cabin fever.” Judy is a graduate of Florida State University. Sybil Dodson’s son, Brad, attended Brevard College and graduated. While Brad was a sophomore here, Sybil was asked by Dr. William Greer, former President of Brevard College, to come here arid start up a program that will require students to do some service work as a requirement to graduate. Sybil was ready for a job change and decided to take President Greer up on his offer. From this beginning, Project Inside-Out was created. This is Sybil’s sixth year here as an RD. When she leaves at the end of the school year, she plans to work with her husband at their pottery shop and volunteer on campus when either I Martin or President Bertrand asks her| do so. She will miss the students, I she will volunteer her time here i| year so that she can still keep in toJ with the students. Some advice that !| gives to each student is to reach tli| maximum potential. The advice I Sybil would give to the person wl will come in and replace her is to sha her hobbies and talents with the studeI living in the dorm. Sybil has receivedl B.A. in Religion and a Masters i Social Work from the University! Texas at Arlington.

Bertrand noted that reducing the enrollment of the College will impact on the faculty and staff, but the extent of that impact remains to be determined. “In making difficult budgeting decisions ! over the next month,” he jsaid, “we will keep two primary concerns in mind. The first is to maintain the fundamental quality of bur programs so that we will institution in future years. The second j to be sensitive to the lives and careers i| our faculty and staff.
