Perhaps there were not a sufficient

were 500 issues of The Clarion distributed. The members

sophomore class will be April

Tuesday afternoon, April 16th.
‘ The reason for advanced regis
tration is two-fold. It makes it pos-
i sible for the college to give rising
sophomores the first choice of
classes over the incoming fresh
men,” states Dean Stevenson. He
1 continues, “Another advantage is
Ith-it it gives the student more op
portunity to consult his advisor.”
I All students are urged to con-
.-i;lt their advisors. The student is
also requested to check the cata-
, lo"’ for the requirements of the in-
-tilution to which he plans to trans
fer.
Since the sophomores register
before they leave school, they
have several e.xtra days at the be
ginning of the fall semester. This
Flives the administration a chance
?lso to determine the need for new
and advanced courses.
Dean Stevenson wishes to empha
size, "Anyone planning to attend
hrevard College next year should
pre-register. If a student wishes to
change a course during the sum-
mtr, he may do so.”

Is Science Really Magic?
You’ll v^onder if you go to the
science building Friday night. The
Alpha Beta Gamma, the EMA, and
the Physics and Mathematics De
partments will present a Science
Fair, April 19th, from 6:30 to 9:00.
The Fair will feature some of the
more extraordinary and interest
ing “magic” found in our every
day life and ably revealed through
science

Did everyone catch up on some
much needed sleep during the holi
days? (Or rather, is eveyrone catch
ing up on some much needed sleep
as a RESULT of the holidays?)
Do you realize what time it is?
Hadn’t thought much about it,
huh? Well, it’s about one week un
til Mr. Roy’s book report, two
weeks until Mr. McFadden’s Lit.
term paper, around three weeks
until May Day, six weeks until the
annuals arrive, seven weeks until
exams, and aibout eight weeks un
til graduation. Then where will we
all be? Frightening, isn’t it . . .
Members of the Brevard College
Glee Club were treated in the
course of their successful and en
joyable trip to a rendition of the
“Rockingham Rock” by Rockin’
Charlie Adams and his “Rocking
Rogues” — Don Oglesby, Harvey
Pulliam and Howard Martin. It was
on this extensive journey that the
group, who had previously thought
Charlie to be just a regular fel
low, discovered him to be quite a
bilinguist — being able to, er,
ipeak in a decidedly foreign ton
gue. There have been specula
tions as to the origin of this lan
guage — which poses the question:
Just where is Mount Airy located?!
Congratulations and sincere good
wishes to Jackie and Munsie on
their recent engagement. It could
n’t happen to two nicer people.
Speaking of nice people, Betty
Pearson would have been deeply
saw enough to convince him that
this is probably one of the most in
teresting programs that has been
planned on the campus this year.
It will certainly be worth your time
to attend and enjoy these scien
tific phantasmics.
The EMA will have an exhibit on
electronics and mechanics in
room 2 of the Science Building and
an exhibit on aviation in room 3.
The Alpha Beta Gamma will dem
onstrate some spectacular chemi
cal reactions in room 5, the regu
lar Chemistry lab. The Physics and
Mathematics Department will be
in room 4, the regular Physics lab,
and there will possibly be a dis
play of Engineering Drawing
plates in the Engineering Drawing
room, S-6.
A lot of work and time has gone
into the planning of this fair, and
there will be a lot more of both
concentrated on this effort before
April 19th. So let’s all meet at the
Science Building Friday night and
bring our friends. Bring ’em or
tell ’em to come. See ya there!
