Experience Some Enchanted Evening
Chris Theokas
Clarion Staff Writer
April 22 is less than a month
away, and with it comes the Brevard
College Spring Formal, "Some Enchant
ed Evening". This is a special occasion
for the college. It has been a while
since there was a formal dance, and the
Social Board wants to make this one
memorable.
The Spring Formal isn’t going to
be like the other dances. It isn’t going
to be held in the cafeteria or in Cole-
train Commons. This one’s going to be
at the Silvermont Mansion, on East
Main street. And there isn’t going to
be music with enough bass to cause
cardiac arrest in small animals because
Vic Thomas has taken a request to play
softer, slower, dance music.
It will be a night for couples and
a night for making couples. There will
be pictures taken by Adcock Photogra
phy, and you will be able to purchase a
package to fit your needs.
But that’s not all. The event will
be catered with good food, a variety of
food, not just a fruit and cheese platter
with some Hi-C to go along with it.
Planned for your dining pleasure are
The Silvermont Mansion
meatballs, chicken drumettes, petit
fours, real punch that hasn’t come from
a vacuum-packed container that reads,
"A Bargain! Makes 12 Quarts!", and
other tasty morsels for you to enjoy.
Even though this is a formal, you
are not required to wear a tuxedo, but a
nice suit would do just as well. Re
member, if you aren’t dressed to the
"nines", you won’t get in. But don’t
fear. If you want to be the height of
fashion, tuxedos will be fitted for you,
April 6, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the
cafeteria. And the price is quite reason
able, too—only $39.95 for the tuxedo,
$5.00 extra for the shoes, plus tax.
Tickets are still on sale and will
be until April 7. After that you’re out
of luck. They’re only $10.00, and you
have to order the tickets ahead of time.
There won’t be any sold at the door.
On April 22 the stars will be
shining, there will be a warm, spring
breeze, and the moon will be watching
over you on that evening. Your friends
and loved one will be with you, sharing
good food and good company. And
even if it turns into another rainy, mud
dy, Brevard evening, it will still be
Some Enchanted Evening.
BC Offers Special Summer Education Program
special to the Clarion
from the B.C. News Bureau
The Brevard College campus,
nestled in a valley of the French Broad
River and only a stone’s throw from the
Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah Nation
al Forest, is uniquely situated to offer
courses of study in environmental and
wilderness education.
This summer, several new courses
will be available for both high school
and college students. For high school
students (ages 14-18), Brevard College
will offer both an environmental studies
program, "The Forest and the River,
and a wilderness education course, "The
Wilderness Experience." College-age
students will also be able to take advan
tage of the vast ecosystems found in
Pisgah National Forest with the course.
"Field Biology of the Southern Appala
chians. "
"The Forest and the River" is a
two-week program (July 9 through 22)
and is designed especially for high
school students. The $650 tuition covers
housing, three all-you-can-eat meals per
day, planned student activities, as well
as the daily field trips and educational
opportunities available. For more
information, contact Dr. Jeffrey Llewel
lyn, Brevard College, or phone 883-
8292, ext. 2277.
For high school students with a
more adventurous nature, Brevard
College is also offering "Wilderness
Experience," a two-week course (July
30 through August 5) in backpacking,
camping, orienteering, rock climbing,
wilderness survival, and wilderness
ethics. The tuition of $295 per person
covers everything from food and all
required equipment to fiill-time instruc
tors and guides. For more information,
contact Clyde Carter, Brevard College,
or phone 883-8292, ext. 2334.
For college-age students looking
for a summer college credit without the
confines of a traditional indoor class
room, Brevard College is offering
"Field Biology of the Southern Appala
chians. " It will be a five-week intensive
course (June 19 through July 21) that
will cover every aspect of field of biolo
gy, using one the most diverse and
thriving ecosystems in the world: the
Southern Appalachians. Students will
travel from the Brevard College campus
to the highest peaks of the Appala
chians. Overnight field trips will take
students to the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park and Jones Gap State
Park. Brevard College will award seven
credit hours for the successful comple
tion of this course. Tuition is $234 per
credit hour, and room and board is
$600 for the entire five-week program.
Other fees may apply, and enrollment is
limited. For more information, contact
