So, do something! Most often it is
the people who aren’t involved in
anything that complain the most. If you
don’t even make an effort to voice your
opinions and suggestions to people who
can help plan activities, then you have
no one, not even Brevard College and
this small town, to blame for your
boredom. So stop whining and take
some action.
problem and there have been times when
she has sat up all hours of the night
until the problem was dealt with. She
related to all of us and tried to build
trust with everyone. Heather will
definitely be missed, and we all wish her
the best of luck.
come together Am I the only one who
gets a warm feeling inside about a week
before Christmas? Am I the only one
who smiles when I walk into a store and
Christmas music is playing sofdy over
the intercom. I hope not. Then there is
the feeling you get when you give
someone a gift and their face lights up.
You just made their day. To me there is
no better feeling than the feeling I get
when I give someone a gift. Everyone
should experience it.
You have a chance to experience
that kind of joy. Remember, around the
holidays there are a lot of people less
fortunate than us. Take time and give
them something, an old toy to a child,
old clothing to a family, anything. See
how that makes not only you, but
them, feel warm. The warm feeling you
get inside from them far exceeds the gift
you gave them. Help make everyone’s
holiday’s happy!
I’m sure you’ve heard it - the
unmistakable whine of a BC student on
any given night or weekend - “There’s
NOTHING to do!”
I am so tired of hearing this
complaint day after day. Recently, at a
fireside chat with Dr. Teague, he asked
what the one thing was that we would
change about Brevard College. Nearly
everyone said that there was never

The time has come to end the fall
semester of 1994 at Brevard College.
The holiday season has once again
arrived, as well as final exam time. The
long-needed month of vacation is about
to begin.
Many people will not be returning
to BC for the spring semester Many are
graduating, transferring or just realizing
that BC is not for them. One important
person on campus is getting married
over the holidays and will not be
returning to BC. On December 17,

Jones Hall, will began a new life with

everyone said that there was never
anything to do.
I know that sometimes there seems
like absolutely nothing is going on
around campus and there are times that
nothing is going on, especially on
weekends. But if you feel it is a
problem all of the time, then do
something about it.
Take advantage of the things taking
place on campus already like basketball
games, intramural sports, or clubs on
campus. Join the yearbook or
her new husband. Heather definitely
deserves recognition for her work at BC
this semester
Many of you may not have had the
chance to get to know Heather In the
past four months most of the girls in
Jones Hall found a very special friend in
Heather She has been through so many
emergency situations, and not one time
was she preoccupied or uninterested in
helping and caring. This semester there
have been many strenuous topics and
situations that have come up in Jones
Hall. Each time something went wrong
or someone needed support. Heather was
there. No one had to search the campus
for her

The Clarion. We could always use some
extra people.
Better yet, join the Social Board or
SGA and start to make things happen
and get the activities and bands that you
want. Start volunteering. Get a job. The
point is, there are things to do. Don’t be
so choosy that you don’t do anything.
The main problem is apathy.
Everyone is so willing to complain, but
very few people ever try to do anything
to get more things happening at Brevard
I have seen Heather do her rounds
in the dorm and just ask people how
they are or ask them what is new. She
definitely built bonds with a lot of the
girls. Instead of an RD, she was more
like a friend or sister to some people.
Most everyone feels comfortable and
trusting to go to Heather with a

Ah, the holidays are finally here!
The time of the year when people come
together and put aside their differences
for the happiness of the holidays.
Thanksgiving recently passed. Is
there anything better than sitting with
family around a table heaped with hot
steaming food? There’s always too much
to eat, you leave the table stuffed with
food, feeling lazy and fat.
In my family the men stumble into
the living room and watch football. We
sit in the living room, in front of the
TV with our bellies full, our eyes begin
to grow heavy and then we nod off But
no one cares! The spirit of the holiday
fills us all. After a while you wake up
hungry again for, what else, turkey
sandwiches.
Then there is Christmas, the one
time of the year when people can really
Dear Editor:
Condoms; though not 100%
effective, their use is advocated by the
medical community in the prevention of
pregnancy and the spread of Socially
Transmitted Diseases (STD’s).
Although highly recommended, the use
of condoms is still one of personal
choice. We hope through educational
programming we will be able to impact
on that decision in a positive way.
Materials concerning the use of
condoms is available in the Clinic and
we will be happy to address any
concerns you may have about them- 1
