Until Next Year..,
by Bullet J. Philippe
The Clarion staff would like to congratulate all Brevard College faculty, staff, and students for making it through yet
another semester. All of us can definitely relate to how most people feel at this time of the year. The mental, physical, and
emotional stress at this time of year takes a toll on all of us than almost any other season.
With all the papers, tests, and assignments due toward the end of this year, it can be a very finstrating time for us all
This IS also a tmie when ahnost eveiything that hasn’t really bothered us comes into effect. Dormitory life, fiiends, and home
sickness (especially the yearning of another home -cooked meal after Thanksgiving) become hard to deal with now. As the
tension mounts until final exams are taken and term papers are completed, we know that we will soon be rewarded with a
hiatus, even though a brief one.
students, faculty, and staff view this vacation as more than just what the word means. Through
j religions and beliefs we are all brought together in some way during this season.Christmas for many people is
defined as love ^d unity. Too many people take this definition only to heart seasonally. Whether love and unity be global or
tamily -onented, they should never be looked at seasonally, for they are very scarce today. Through this vacation we, at The
ClcirioH, hope you find something that you have may have lost during this semester

Architecture At Its Best
by Bullet J. Philippe
Much interest and
positive criticism has been
generated about the recent
special exhibition at Sims Art
Center. The Spiers Art
Gallery, located inside of
Sims Art Center, is present
ing an exhibition titled
“Architecture as Environ
ment.” The exhibition
collaborates the works of
respected architects Dean
Almay professor at the
University of Tennessee,
Knoxville), Jim Samsel and
John Rogers. Both Samsel
and Rogers reside and
conduct their own architec
tural businesses in Asheville,
N.C., and have also played a
very big part in the revitaliza
tion and restmcturing of the
buildings in Asheville’s
downtown area.
The trio of architects
hoped to bring something
different fi'om the norm in
displaying architectural work
here at Brevard College.
They all feh that this exhibit
should not only include just
drawings, sketches, and
photographs on the walls but
that the show should include
built-in environments within the
gallery space.
The exhibit was also
realized with the help of art
professor Bill Byers. Byers
expressed much gratification
at the opening day turnout of
the event. The opening of the
exhibition featured a series of
slide shows presented by the
architects themselves which
was then followed by a panel
discussion. “The response
was very good,” said Byers.
“There was a very good
exchange between the audi
ence and the architects.”
The exhibition has
caught the interest of many of
the professors both at Brevard
College and elsewhere. Many
schools, both from Transylvania
County and elsewhere, are also
scheduled to visit the
exhibition. The Architecture
as Environment exhibit will
be on display until mid-
January.
