Right From The Beginning
Yes, sir, right from the beginning we're gonna start
griping and offejang suggestions in the hopes that maybe
things will change for the better before this crop of sopho
mores leaves. Suggestions—we’ve got hundreds of ’em.
Just you read on a little farther, and you’ll see what we
mean.
But wait, you new students woulti think this a terri
ble paper if our first editorial didn’t welcome you as bona
fide members of Brevard college. We are glad to have all
of you, and we sincerely hope that you enjoy your stay
here. Brevard has something to offer you, and you can
make your contributions to her in return. We’re not
preaching to you, but do try to make a student of your
self that this college will be proud to claim.
We presume that all college students Can read, so
how about taking notice of the “No smoking” sign in the
chow hall, you fag fiends.
One thing we’re going to gripe about till we get it is an
established and printed set of rules regarding the women
students. As the situation now stands, the teachers can
hatch up new rules on the spur of the moment. This is
neither fair nor just, so we would like to suggest that
somebody get busy on a set of rules ’n’ regulations, and
let’s have students on that committee, too, please.
Naturally the gripe about food is uppermost in our
minds (and stomachs, too), but there’s one thing we should
always remember—it’s much differe^nt cooking for 400
students than cooking for a family, so if the food doesn’t
taste like Mom’s, just grin and bear it. There’s a sug
gestion box conveniently placed just inside the chow hall
door, and the cafeteria staff appreciates all the sugges
tions you drop in. If you have a-gripe about the food, re
member where you should put it, and make all your sug
gested improvements in a nice way .
Come on then, fellow students, let’s start the new
year out right. Show t^^e teachers that you’re gonna back
’em up, and you’ll find that they’re always willing, even
more than glad, to help you in any way they can. We re
not making that statement just because all other colleges
say it; we’re saying it ’cause it’s the plain and outright
truth.
O
Just A Reminder
When you curse or swear:
1. It shows that your vocabulary is limited.
2. It suggests that you keep company with the crowd
that is coarse and vulgar^
3, It shows up your weakness of character.
4, It shocks and disgusts decent people,
5, It dishonors your parents, your children, your
friends, your home, your business and your God.
6. It shows that you don’t know how to talk.
Nuff said?

WHO’S WHO
BOB MOORE
Is there anybody on campus who hasn’t met our student body pres
ident? Just in case you haven’t had the chance, meander over toward
West after the evening meal and two bits says you’ll find him there.
Now you know of whom we’re speaking—sure, and it’s none other than
that tall blond from Statesville, Bob Moore (Robert Lawrence Moore,
ing people; could be that’s why everybody likes him so well. If Bob
just for the records). Bob has a way of winning friends and influenc-
sticks to his election platform, and we have every reason to believe
that he will, “There’ll be some changes made.”
DAN STOWE
“D. P.,” our vice president hails to us from Belmont, and in high
standing, too. Just because he’s a “J” boy is no sign that he’s the
typical “tavern” lodger. Seriously, Dan Presley Stowe is one of our
most promising ministerial students. He may be small in physical
stature, but we believe in the old adage that it’s quality, not quantity,
that counts. All you freshmen, and sophs, too, for that matter, have
no doubt from time to time been thd recipient of his cheery greeting.
Let’s all keep our eyes on “D. P.”; who knows, someday he may be
back at Brevard preaching the commencement sermon to a graduating
class.

JOYCE WILHELM
Statesville seems to be doing her share of supplying Brevard with
officers this year ’cause that’s the city Joyce Dolores Wilhelm calls
home,” too. Joyce’s likeable smile and friendly personality seem to
penetrate through Brevard’s cloudiest weather. For those of you who
don’t know her, just look around Taylor for a girl who seems to be
the highlight of the fun. The student council should make much prog
ress witfi such a capable person to keep its records'
* * *
GLADYS BREWER
Gladys is Ansonville’s contribution to the student council at Bre
vard. She has a big job ahead of her as president of the Christian
Student Movement, and a position like that calls for the cooperation of
every student. All those of us who eat in the chow hall know Gladys,
for she’s always smiling as she helps in serving the food. Smiles help
the‘digestion, Gladys, so keep the good work up. Students interested
in dramatics will get a better chance to know her, for that field is one
of her first loves.

BETTE COOK
You’ve all seen or heard Bette’s infectious laugh, or you haven’t
been very observant. Last year she was known as the “laughingest
girl on the campus,” and this year will be no exception, from all ap
pearances. Bette Lou (we just couldn’t leave out that middle name,
could we, Mo?) Cook, one of Concord’s contributions to B. C., has
already made many new friends this year, and she is going to need your
cooperation in putting out the 1950 Pertelote. Bette says she’s gonna
make this year’s annual Brevard’s best, and we all wish her luck, don’t
we, guys and gals?
