Catholic Fellowship Club forms
by Stephanie McCall

Brevard College is not only a Method
ist-affiliated school, but also the home of
several faith-based clubs, such as Campus
Crusade for Christ and Fellowship of Chris
tian Athletes (FCA). There’s also a Wesley
Society of Friends circle and a relatively
new club known simply as the Meditation
Group. Next month, another faith-based
club will be joining their ranks—the BC
Catholic Fellowship.
The Catholic Fellowship will have its
first meeting on Nov. 9 in the Meyers Hall
Institute Room. The meeting will be facili
tated by campus chaplain Shelley Webb
and two administrators from Sacred Heart
Catholic Church of Brevard.
Despite the club’s name, you don’t
have to be Catholic to come to this meet
ing or to join the society.
However, you may ask, what if I want
to know something about Catholicism be
fore coming, even if I’m not Catholic my-

On November 4 and 5 of this year,
Brevard College will hold its third annual
One-Act Festival. This festival which is
actively supported by Admissions is a spe
cial venue in which high schools present
one-act plays that they may want to enter
into the regional or national competitions.
There are 12 slots available for high
schools to register under. Schools from as
close as Hendersonville and as far as At
lanta have already signed up. These
schools will perform plays such as: “Lady’s
First’, “Ah! Wilderness” and “A Player’s
Guide to Improvisation”. The performing
students are given 45 minutes to set up,
present, and breakdown whatever set they
created.
After the presentation, there is a 15
minute judging session. This year’s judges
sre, Carnessa Otelim, a professional play
wright and director, from Greensboro, North
Carolina. Denis Mauldin, the technical di
rector of Flat Rock Play House, the North
Carolina State Theatre, and Gene O’Hare,
an actor/director, of Brevard, North Caro
lina. When the judging is complete there is
self? In that case, you may raise questions
at the meeting or contact Sacred Heart
Catholic Church and ask to speak to Fa
ther Carl or another priest or administrator.

Students give mid
term followup tips

During last week’s midterm exams, did
you find yourself feeling incredibly
stressed? Did you pull an all-nighter to cram
for that killer religion essay question or
tough science lab, only to find out you
blew it later? If so, you might need a few
tips before preparing for finals. Fortunately,
Brevard College’s students were happy to
give them.
For starters, most students say, study
alone. “This is particularly helpful if you’re
an introvert,” non-traditional student Paul
Long said. It’s also a good idea to study in
a quiet environment free of distractions,
and to use study aides. “Flash cards are a
good idea,” said sophomore Rachel Bird.
However, some students may find that
a lot of time spent studying and using aides
actually make it harder to get things done.
In that case, you can try taking a break
from studying and doing relaxing activi
ties or activities that work off stress. For
example, sophomore Steph Giannetti sug
gests working out to relieve stress, saying
“that’s what got me through these mid
terms.” Other relaxing activities, listed on
several stress-related Web sites, including
reading a book, taking a bath or shower,
and listening to or playing soft music.
