THE FIRST SHOVEL OF DIRT, which
marks the beginning of construction of
the new Brevard Methodist church on
a site opj:osite the college, _ is being
turned bv Rev. Douglas Corriher, the
pastor, the (-rround-breaking ceremony
was held last Sunday morning, and other
participants on the program, left to right,
were: Dean J. J. Stevenson, Jack Tran-
tham, P. A. Rahn, Miss Hattie Aiken,
Luke Harrison, S. E. Varner, H. B. Shif-
let, Ed M. Anderson and District Super
intendent J. W. Fitzgerald. Jerry Liner,
the contractor, is at the extreme right.
He announced that construction of the
new church would begin this week.
The anxious Brevard College
Tornadoes are rarin and ready to
go Saturday night when they play
host to the powerful Mountain
Lions of Young-Harris.
A victory for the Tornadoes
would be twice as sweet since
Young-Harris was one of the two
junior college teams to take two
wins from the Martinmen last sea
son.
A big feature of the game will be
the scoring battle between the
Georgian’s big John Adcock, one
of the most sought after cagers in
Southern Junior College ball, and
Bruce Guy of Brevard.
The starting line-up will be Bruce
Guy and Dave Cudd at the forward
slots, Munsey Milloway at center,
and Jimmy Ingle and Vance Link at
the guard positions.
All conference forward Bruce
Guy was elected by the basketball
squad early this week to captain the
1956-57 team. Guy is probably the
most versatile player in the con
ference. He will find the captain’s
position no strange slot since he
held it for three years on his high
school team, while playing at
Pleasant Gardens.
Jim Ingle will act as co-captain.
He is the man around whom the
Tornadoes center their fast break
and is possibly the fastest man in
the conference.
A huge crowd is expected in the
home gym as exuberant students
show their confidence in the boys
in the blue and white.

Sunny Weather
Students Rush Aid To Hungry
Homecoming day came riding in ,
on a big red sun as returning alum-1
ni and parents flocked onto the
campus here November 22. I
Although crisp and cool, the day
was sunny and clear. The crowd
began to come in about 11:00 A. M. i
Clusters of former students formed
into little groups around the cam
pus and exclamations of wonder
and pride, mingled with hushed
whispers of, “did you know—”,
could be heard from all sides.
Representatives of the classes
of 1938, ’40, ’44, ’46, ’50, ’54, and
’56 were noticed to have made the
sentimental journey.
Some of the familiar faces seen
were Bryan Harrison, Jeff Stroud,
Jane Cathey, Emory Crawford,
Tommy cintosh, Shirley Weaver,
Margaret Rice, James Norton, Gus
Deal, Carlence Jerome, Martha For
tune, Gearald Baker, and Fredrice
Trull, all of whom were students
here last year.
Some of the older faces noted
were R. H. Stamey, class of 1934,
Mrs. Thelma H. Stamey, class of
1938, Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie and

Raise Over $10,000
The American Committee of
World University Service announ
ced that it would rush emergency
aid to Hungarian students.
The announcement indicated
that a nation-wide appeal was being
launched urging American college
students to donate funds for their
beleaguered Hungarian colleagues.
University students in this country
were asked to take up collections
of funds that World University
Service would transmit to its Ge
neva headquarters for distribution
among Hungarian students who
have sought refuge in Austria.
The WUS appeal came after two
weeks of intense action in Hungary
during which Hungarian Universi
ty students played a key role m
what the western world saw as a
battle for freedom.
Starting with student demonstra
tions, unrest among the Hungar
ian populace spread like wildfire
across the country. Demonstrations
grew into riots, which in turn de
veloped into a fullblown rebellion.
The wave of national anger
quickly brought about a change o
government. On Oct. 23 pro-Soviet
Erno Gero stepped down qui^ckly
from the premiership, but not be
fore inviting Soviet occupation
troops to restore order.
The newly-installed government
of Moscow-trained but nationalist
Imre Nagy saw the revolt almost
quelled. Then a student demonstra
tion demanding Gero’s complete
j dismissal precipitated new and
, more violent rebellion,
j Fighting described in the press
I as a “blood-bath” raged across Hun-
I gary for seven fearsome days.
In attempts to restore order the
Nagy government made desperate
bids for order by piling concession
on concession. Even in the face of
a demand for withdrawal of Rus
sians from Budapest, the Soviets
seemed compliant.
But turmoil and agitation that
started among the Hungarian stu
dents had fanned pent-up senti
ments throughout the Hungarian
countryside. News leaking through
heavy censorship described chaotic
full-scale insurgent warfare.
On Nov. 1, Russian tanks with
drew from Budapest. There follow
ed a suspenseful few days of
puzzling maneuvering after which
Soviet armored columns raced
across the country, blockading the
frontier and sealing off the larger
cities.
Two weeks after it had started
