B. a MEETS at CAMPBELL On December 8, 1956, the nation al meeting of Alpha Beta Gamma was held at Campbell College, Bu ie’s Creek, North Carolina. The Beta chapter, from Brevard Col lege, was represented by Miss Bob bie Jean Nicholson and eleven members. Two of our members, Charles Hi&ert and Laney Funderburk, initiated there with members Welcome Newcomers UN; it was ignored. British and French troops moved into 'the canal area. There were a series of raids against l^ae . The Israelis moved into Egypt to wipe out the raiders and as a result Russia offered “volunteers to the Egyptians for their cause. Russia is winning in the Middle East and must be stop ped ; she sees a chance of infiltration into the line of de fense of the free world and is preparing herself by one method or another to add the Middle East to her Commun ist dominion. * • u We have checked the Soviets in Southeast Asia by sponsoring the Southeastern Asia Treaty Organization. We have warned Red China against aggression in For- ^mosa. We have checked aggression in the Far East by trea ties with the Philippines, Nationalist China, and Korea. The chasm is left open to the aggressors is the Middle East. Five countries in the east — Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Greece and Turkey — have given us their support. They look to us for moral, military and economic leadership. We must give them this support. This is the only way we can close the crevice left open for our opponents. The UN is now in the position to check the aggression in the East, but should it fail, there must be a checkmate to fall back on; the US is the only country that can provide through the cafeteria after dinner They were tied together to remind them that they were joined by a common bond. Each wore a hat as a reminder to keep his thinking cap on. Dark glasses illustrated the blindness of ignorance. Alpha Beta Gamma is the junior college chemistry society and fra ternity. It was founded when a group of students in Asheville Biltmore College went to their chemistry professor. Dr. David H. Pierce, with hopes of ■ starting a chemistry club. With cooperation and ideas of Dr. Pierce and stu dents, Alpha Beta Gamma was formed March 25, 1952. Later it was realized that other junior col leges had need of a similar organ ization, and soon a well-organized expansion program began. Some of the goals of Alpha Beta Gamma are: to learn more about the different fields of chemistry and its place in world progress, to BY DON GENTRY W When new faces are seen at every turn How hard it must be to try to learn E Everyone's name and everyone’s face And still try to study and keep up the pace L Let alone run a chase after the girls you have seen Especially when she thinks you are only visiting.

Moscow must be informed in strong Ian- develop interest J: to guage that we will ally with Western Europe and the Mid dle East and challenge any aggressor with armed force. This is why Congress is being asked to adopt the “Ei senhower Doctrine”, a plan designed to give this challenge reality. The plan has 2 points: to make known that the US will defend the Middle East against any armed aggression and to increase US economic aid to the Middle East. No — this plan will not permit us to cut taxes in 1957, but it may mean whether we survive or fall in this crucial period of history. Let Congress consent to a nuclear war if the Soviets need such prodding. To approve such a plan will require great courage; the alternative could be obliv ion!

To tell the actual and heart breaking truth, this “bird” has viewed and had impressed upon her little except the already well- known fact that it is raining, has rained, and seems determined to continue to rain for as long as those heavens remain unempty. Of course, to cheer us up a wee bit, the lazy old sun ( or maybe it HAS grown bashful as some say) did manage to roll in front of a cloud for a few brief hours. We were fooled for a while, and en joyed the warm sun, the almost spring air and just felt “dry” for a change. Even the earthworms wiggled back to wherever earth worms dwell in warm weather. Then that nice steady little drizzle began to . . . well, drizzle again. Thus it is evident that our rainy season is not yet over. Rather an odd, but colorful sight to behold, is that of opened umbrellas looking like so many varied - colored mushrooms plant ed outside the doors of their re spective owners’ rooms in the halls of the girls’ dorm. ’Tis said this some well-meaning wee-folk plucked all the umbrellas from their places one midnight recent ly and left them stacked in the lobby — all together and ready for use the following morning ... A slightly mad scramble was the re sult Another well-known fact is that Spring semester has begun at “Br»- Terd Tech”. Everyone seems to lhave waited for this opportuaitj to begin making his New Year’s resolutions! Sincere good wishes — ’tho per haps a trifle tardy — are extended to Shirley Thompson, nee Hender son; Mac Passmore, Neal Howell, and Christine Sitton, nee Wilson; who took the fatal step aver the holidays. Congratulations are al so in order for Jane Allred, Mary Helen Williams, and Betty Jean Hensley, and Mary Alice Godfrey, who received DIAMONDS for CHRISTMAS! Did many observe the moon the other night, I wonder? They say it lingered over the lily pool for a while and then seemed to just “fall in” — the reflection was so beautiful. Speaking of the lily pool, on which so much of Brevard’s ac tivity centers—it has been report ed from various sources that that lil’ ole pool experienced a bit of “internal combustion” recently and almost burned up . . . No doubt much has been over looked and — or forgotten which should have been included in this little epistle but, after all, it is only a “Bird’s Eye View”, ing to take an active part in any of the Chemistry Club’s functions. Alpha Beta Gamma nas two na tional meetings each year. Brevard v/ill play host to either the spring or fall meeting in 1957. FORMER STUDENT NOMINEE FOR SCHOLARSHIP Miss Martha Fortune, presently a junior at the University of North Carolina and a graduate of Bre vard College, is one of two nom inees for a scholarship being offer ed by the North Carolina Class room Teachers’ Association.

MARCH OF DIMES The March of Dimes campaign! at Brevard College was sponsored toy the four social societies on campus. The girls solicited dona tions on campus; the boys cover ed the up-town district. The girls collected a total of $25.30; the boys $25.19 for a grand total of $50.49. The president of the various socie ties organized the drive, and the other members of the clubs cooper ated very nicely.
