SERVING THE BREVARD COLLEGE
Volume 73, Issue 1 COMMUNITY SINCE 1935 September 7, 2007
BC Welcomes Students Back To Campus
by Aaron Palmer
Editor in Chief
A new year unfolds for
the college population
sharing numerous similari
ties and differences as
previous years. For some
the end is frighteningly
within sight, some are
entering a new phase in
their lives and others have
returned to the comfort that
they are now familiar with.
The population of our
school is growing as well as
our programs. With an
increasing number of
choices from our academic
schedule as well as more
events to attend, Brevard is
rapidly moving in a direction
that will beneift the college
lifestyle.
For those entering
college for the first time,
there is much to take
advantage of. There are
sports teams to try out for,
clubs to get involved with
and numerous directions in
which to find your creative
outlet through academics.
We've all seen and
heard the stereotypes of
aloof freshmen making poor
decisions their first time on
their own, so be aware of
what you are doing and why
you are here. This is a time
for you to be free of all
responsibilities in order to
do nothing more than "find
yourself. You are here to
recieve an education in any
topic desirabe. One of the
best aspects of a liberal
arts college is that you can
become a well rounded
person and have the
opportunity to dabble in
many topics.
For those returning,
John Taylor rushes arourid the Shorter deferise.

don't let this be just another
year. Make the best of
what you have now, for
before long, you will be
missing it. Set an example
and try something new this
year. You may find a
hidden skill or passion.
You'll never know until you
try.
Second City to Perform at Porter
Center
by Karen Love
Staff Writer
Before Mike Meyers got
“randy” as a spy, he made his
comedy debut on the stage
with The Second City Comedy
Group.
Other comedic greats such as
John Candy, Bill Murray, Dan
Aykroyd and John Belushi
began their careers with Second
City. Even the infamously
sarcastic Stephen Colbert got
his start on the Second City
stage as a part of the 1993 cast.
The Second City Touring
Company will be performing
their hilarious improvisations at
the Porter Center on Saturday,
September 8* at 7:30 pm. The
cost is $5 per student.
This performance is bound to
be a sketch comedy wonder,
similar to the like of ABC
Family’s “Whose Line is it
Anyway” and NBC’s
“Saturday Night Live.” There
are no backdrops and no rules,
setting the stage for a side
splitting performance.
The show has been garnering
rave reviews during it's recent
tour
In April the Charleston City
Paper wrote that its Second
City performance, “was
everything a Second City show
is supposed to be; frenetic,
tight, topical and fuimy as hell.”
Likewise, in July the
Kalamazoo Gazette stated that
the show “was crazy, surreal,
wacky comedy on the spot,
pulled out of thin air"
This season’s show is
entitled, “One Nation, Under
Blog,” and its sure to be one of
the best seasons yet. The
Second City is a nationally
acclaimed organization with
permanent chapters spaiming
the U.S. in cities such as New
York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles,
and it’s home town of Chicago.
