Mr. William A. Anderson, a
national Audubon speaker, wiU
present to the Brevard College
students at the Lyceum program
on November 30 (8:15 P.M.) an
all-color motion-picture film
which illustrates the survival
story of the animal world. The

with the environmental factors
against which they must success
fully compete in order to sur
vive.
Mr. Anderson, a resident of
Homestead, Florida, is a man of
distinguished talent in the field
of nature photography. He owes
this talent to what he calls a
fortunate “double exposure” in
early life. “From the front door
of my boyhood home in Illinois,
I could see the thriving city of
Rockford. My interest in music
and drama brought me into close

Di . McLarty drew a picture of a

Do Students Want
A Student Union?
BILL ANDERSON
By RAY HOXIT
SGA President
In all probability the majori
ty of you are ahready awai-e of
the restless attitude of both the
students and some members of
the Administration in regard to
the present social activities sys
tem at Brevard College.
In recent weeks, this problem
has been discussed and survey
ed by the faculty Social Com
mittee and the Student Council
representing the Student Gov
ernment Association. The form
ing of a Student Union soon be
came a prevalent question. How
ever, at present a Student Union
can be organized only if it re
places the social clubs — the
Clios, Euterps, Delphians and
Nemos. , , ,
If a student Union is formM,
several changes will be made.
The main difference would be
that instead of four social mmd-
eded organizations on campus,
there would be only one
Student Union. The Union would
be a branch of the S.G.A. and
practically all
dances, films, etc. wouW become
the responsibility of the Stu
""k?stadent body of Brevarf

osophy by saying, “Friendship
cannot be neglected — it must
be cultivated and repaired by
thoughtful, unselfish acts. Mar
riage is not woimd at the cere
mony to run indefinitely, but
must be rewound. A person’s
beliefs are perishable — they
must be exercised or they will
become a hackneyed creed to be
professed on Sunday morning
and forgotten the rest of the
time. They are like a clock
that must be rewound.”
Dr. McLarty concluded by say
ing, “Thanksgiving isn’t a date
on the calendar but is a feeling,
and attitude of the heart.
Thanksgiving does not begin on
a specific date but begins when
you feel grateful for your
friends and their love.”
The Christian Council working
in conjunction with the religious
organizations on campus
planned the Banquet. The West
minster Fellowship made ar
rangements for the program.
Ronnie Alexander sang “The
Lord’s Prayer” accompanied by
John Bradburn at the piano.
Charles Gibbons gave the invo
cation.
Mr. Alan Wallace read the tra
ditional Thanksgiving poem, “Ov
er the River and Through the
Wood,” and presented a poem,
“You Take the Pilgrims, Just
Give Me the Progress.” The
Madrigals sang several polifony
selections — “Three Blind Mice”
and “Whistle a Happy Tune.”
Miss Moser, a member of the
Music Department faculty, sang
a folk song, “The Old Woman
Had a Little Pig.”
A newly organized singing
group on campus, Rick Sigmon,
Joe Canty, and Dean Jevons, en
tertained the group with several
folk songs — “One More Town”
and “Tijuana Jail.”
The Cliosophic and Euterpean
Societies will sponsor the annual
Christmas Dance on Saturday,
December 8, in the CCB audi
torium at 8:00 P.M. Music will

R V. Cook, Retired Mathematician, Says
That "Everything Is Not Made For Man
By ROBIN MAY
Many Brevard students may
have noticed the white-haired
gentleman who spends so much
time in the college library I
had the opportunity to spend an
hour with him one day, and
found him to be a very interest
ing person. At first, recalling
the downcast expression of cross
ness he often wore, I was a lit
tle afraid to approach him. But
as soon as I spoke to him, I gain
ed confidence.
