PAGE TWO THE CLARION OCTOBER 19, 1962 MADAME YOON YUNG HWAN (Editor’s Nove: The following letter is from Yoon, Yung Hwan, the SGA’s adopted child. The letter was originally written in Korean and was translated by “Save the Children Federation, Inc.) Dear Sponsors: How have you been these days? We are very sorry that we couldn’t write you for long time. We thankfully received the cash benefit of 4515 won from you with great thanks and joy. Truly it is really hard to express our gratitude and joy to you. With this money, we bought Yung Hwan his text books, fairy-tale books, and cloth es. Yung Hwan rejoiced very much. Now the weather here in Ko rea is getting cool. It is the au tumn season here. The autumn here in Korea is very beautiful. The leaves have turned red and yellow. The forests are ablaze with tinted leaves. The golden crop is undulating in fields and the sky is so blue and so beauti ful that no one is likely to be entranced by this fascinating landscape which can only be seen here in Korea in autumn. September 13 which is August 15 of the lunar month is a big Korean holiday. People make merry all day long on this hap py holiday. But the custom by which they celebrate this holi day varies a little bit from vil lage to village. On this holiday, many people visit their ances tors’ tombs. How is the weather there now? We wonder how American stu dents are studying their lessons. Especially we want to know how American primary school chil dren are studying their lessons. Yung Hwan is taking Korean language, arithmetic, science, civ ics, music, physical culture, etc. (Turn to Page Four) . . . But Welcome Home Freshmen beware of screaming sophomores who suddenly rush for some “stranger”. The “stranpr of course is last year’s sophomore. These joytul re unions are a familiar scene during Homeconimg week end and are one of the most anticipated parts o Homecoming. . • „„ri The “old grads” who survive the reunions ana get a chance to look around, will find much that has changed since last year. The biggest change of course is the new gym. The faculty has changed considera bly with six new members, but some of last year s lav orites are still with us. ^ c+iil Don’t be deceived though, a few things are stii the same. Dean Roberts and Mrs. Sigmon still de- liffht in springing pop tests on their unsuspecting Li classes The Clios and Delphians continue to wage their verbal battles. Mr. Miles is still trying to make students understand the Old Testament. Students sti have to do their own laundry, and some boys are sti 1 trying to get the knack of ironing a shirt on a desk top. It still rains as though the bottom had fallen out of the sky. -i.!, 4.1, The cafeteria still greets everyone with the same “dishes” as always. The student lounge still h^as two ping-pong tables — but no paddles or balls that are quite the right size or shape. ^ ^ Pop Kenerly still keeps the Soda Shop swinging. The night watchman still checks the “favorite spots before he locks up. The girl’s dorm still closes to male visitors at the same old hours and there s no way to avoid that. j -j. 1 Yes, it’s still your Brevard College, and it wel comes you home!

Rush to the cafeteria, stand in line, gobble the food down — all without considering that the food is worth giving thanks for. In our world, there are millions of people that do not have as much food in a day as we l^ave on our tray in a single meal. Ar-e we in too much of a hurry to pause for just one, yes, just one and only one min ute to close our eyes and thank God for the food he has given us? ..-Ti- In an effort to remind us of our responsibilities, the Christian Council has pasted small blessings on the napkin holders of each table. At your meal, won t you take notice and use them? , Charles Gibbons Frosh Learn To Rough It to have the girl in one time? What’s so bad about searching all over the dormitory for change to make a long distance call and then finding the phone busy?

Does your mattress sag and your springs squeak in your bed? Do you swelter from the heat or freeze from the lack of it in your room? Does it enrage you to walk all the way to the college store for cigarettes and then find it closed? Is it disgusting to haul your soap, towel etc. to the other end of the hall to take a shower and then find no hot water? Does your stomach unceasingly growl from hunger every night at 12:00 midnight? Does the constant pounding of the feet on the floor above bother you? Is it ridicu lous to carry your laundry all the way to the laundromat, wait for a washer and then find you’ve ruined your clothes from using too much bleach? How can anyone complain about “roughing it” when you consider that some day, these will be the “real memories” that last! Few college students realize the importance of etiquette in daily life. For some, good man ners seem to be a part of the personality, but for others, they seem to be at a minimum or completely non-existent. One of the main reasons we came to college was to increase our income potential. Yet, with out all-important etiquette, we could never hope to be happy in the various social strata we are trying to achieve. A great deal of what we learn in college is not absorbed in the classroom, but from the people we go to school with. A vast part of col lege life is the process of learn ing to live with these people, and a great deal of this living is com mon courtesy. This same cour tesy is expected from any adult with a college education, there fore it should be a topic of inter est to all. As an example of a beau geste, or beautiful gesture, everyone knows that a gentleman should open the door for a lady, but how many gentlemen remember this, and how many ladies go barging on without giving the gentleman a chance to extend this very com mon courtesy? Can you define the word “gen tleman?” John Henry Newman once said, “It is almost a defi nition of a gentleman to say he is one who never inflicts pain.” Another author quipped, “A gen tlemen is one who can disagree without being disagreeable.” James Keller hit closest with, “The true significance of the word ‘gentleman’ is just what it says: a ‘man’ who is ‘gentle.’ ” Right now, you’re probably wondering what aU this is lead ing to. Quite frankly, this col umn is to be molded -- by you. Anyone on campus who wants a problem of etiquette or fashion solved should just drop a noite to Beau Geste, the CLARION. The column will, besides answer ing questions on courtesy and campus fashion trends, also con tain personal observations of the author and points of general in terest. Of course, except when mentioning fashion on campus names will be withheld. So, until the next time, think a little about the things that arouse your curiosity, put your question in the mailbox (no stamp needed) and I’ll try to a^wer it in the next issue of the CLARION. Until then, be courteous. Your friends will love it. Courteously, Beau A BREVARD HUG FOR EV ERYONE! There’s a familiar feeling floating free from friend to friend as the long-longed for “Homecoming” weekend is here. The first of the home-bound grads have found their way back and hundreds of others will be haunting their favorite “old spots” soon. There’ll probably be more familiarities shown in the next forty-eight hours than regulations will ever allow — with the hugging, kissing, and “tearing” that accompany a homecoming. Welcome home; colleagues! ARCHERY CAN BE FUN! There’s something appealinj about the art of archery. Beinj able to play “Robin Hood” i like the feeling of a conquero after he’s won a major battli or the feeling of a coed who ha passed a test. It’s the feelini of satisfaction that comes afte: long preparation. First you learn to string a bov (that doesn’t take a girl bu three or four weeks) then yoi put on your armor and prepar for battle. Then you address th^ target (Mr. Target, etc.) Nex you take an arrow from you quiver and place it on the bo\ (heads up). You draw — chooS' a point of aim (directions ar really simple — to the left 0 the bow to the right of the strin and aim for ,the ground) an let’er go. After all of that - you spend half an hour tryin to find your arrows — first 0 the ground, then in the stra’ and as a last resort look at th target. Accidents do happen yo know! RAIN DROPS FOR TW( There’s something about rai that brings a shadow of glooi over the campus. The fir “monsoons” almost convince some of us that it was time I pack our boots and head fi home. But the rain has a fe points in its favor.
