PAGE TWO THE CLARION OCTOBER 2, 1964 What Price Justice? The recent actions of the S.G.A. Judicial Council are to be highly commended. As a result of their actions, perhaps the students of Brevard College will be able to call themselves men and women; men and women working for a goal and acting as responsible citizens. It can be the 'be'ginning of an inner dignity for us. When we do not back the decisions of the offi cers whom we elected last year, we are saying, in ef fect, “I am not responsible enough to take the conse quences of my actions.” We must remember that it is far from easy for our friends and classmates to take action against us. They often must go against public opinion, even against the dictates of their hearts, in order to do the job they have been selected to do, and must do. As a college student, a part of my goal is in try ing to mature. Following rules set up by my peers is a sign of growing up. I may not necessarily like all of the rules, but I knew what was expected of me when I was acceipted here. Being accepted in itself was a privilege. Now, I must prove myself worthy of it. Treva Mitchell Food For Thought Approaching us are class elections; and for Freshmen more so than for Sophomores, there poses the question of how to choose>. First, let us discount popularity. As slightly more than embryonic adults, we must degrade populari ties for a choice of personalities. The class representative must evoke a good first impression. He should be the epitome of his class. Most who meet him will just barely note his strengths, and they must come away with only a pleasant remem brance. The lasting impression rates next as this is the one with which we must work. Here we must survive in accord. Is his impetus for election sincerity or self-grati fication? Is he really sincere in serving his fellow students, or is his drive for selfish ambition? His first desire must be for the electors; his second for the elected. Can he carry his maximum load as a class lead er? A strong will and a desire to serve are the evident qualifications. Is he willing to give and in in giving forget renumeration? Is his drive for success perme ated by his drive for responsibility? Does he forget his urge for imagery in the race for the sharing of all? Question each nominee as to his hopes and ambi tions. There is no place for self-centeredness in pub lic office. If all are for one, that one must be for all. Students: ler ■mimm The student council of Brevard College would like to extend its warmest welcome to this year’s student body. For nine months, Brevard College will be our home. The suc cess or failure of our stay here will be determined by the scope of our initiative, the breadth of our ambition, and the perserver Hh The Clarion Staff PRESS EDITOR Treva Mitchell BUSINESS MANAGER Bebe Garrett SPORTS EDITOR Wes Howe TYPIST Janet Frangochais STAFF WRITERS Rory McManus Benji Sullivan John Gosnell A Student Remembers tkai" P^lcins ^0^ messaje * Like vealn/mQo. ■ We ouoh'fii all 1 -feel 't, man' follow &oUl« yo“ ewmsle. y®'' knou^. Like PM- test! N o y \)c^y / I mecin like workin^ an' News From Brevard's "Adopted Child" Dear President McLarty, You probably won’t remember me. My name is Joyce Mabry, a 1962 graduate of Brevard. Af ter graduation from Brevard, I worked a year before continuing my education here at Winthrop College in South Carolina. Now I am a college senior. It hardly seems possible. So many times I think of my first two years at Brevard Col lege. Not until I came to this much bigger school where most students are merely numbers, did I fully appreciate my first two college years. The personal attitude of the professors, the spirit of the stu dent body, the closeness of the campus as a whole meant much to me at Brevard—^mean even more to me now that I’m awsey. I made many close friends at Brevard who are just as close now, even though we are all scat tered about in many directions. We aU have our fond memories of the small school way up in the mountains—a school wh«-e we complained about the rules, complained about the food, com plained about the lessons, but nevertheless loved—^loved then, and love even more now. We all left parts of ourselves there when we left, but in return we took just as mufh away in mem ories, some good, some bad. The good ones scrmehow overshadow the bad. I hope the students there now find their experiences as rich and their memories as fond as my friends, fellow Brevard grad uates, and I found ours. Very truly yours, Joyce Mabry Brevard College Student Body c/o Dean E. E. Roberts Brevard, North Carolina Dear Sponsors, The weathfiT here is almost like fall with the cool wind in the morning and evening these days. I imagine that all of you are now in bed with the beauty of autumn by this time when I write this letter to you, as it is one o’clock a.m. These days I am kept busy in readiness for the entrance exam to middle school which will be held after two months. With the money you sent to me. I paid for my school tuition and bought some school supplies. I thank you very much again. I will be more diligent at school so that I may make you happy some day. Are all the primary school students studying as hard as we do here for the exam of late? We are studying now very hard with the hope for our fu ture. I wish you all to let me hear froim you soon about your school and other things happened around you, next time. May peace and happiness be yours. Sincerely yours, YOON, Yung Hwan ance of our aspiration. It will be, in short, what we make it. This year’s student administration has set for itself several goals. One of the more formidable obstacles is a much-needed revision of the college constitution. Obsolete, antiquitated and confusing is this “pillar” upon which our government stands. A copy of this document, with specific criticisms by the constitu tional committee, will appear shortly on the Dunham Hall Bulletin Board. A progressive program of social events is being planned which includes movies, formal and informal dances, a picnic to the famed Biltmore Estates in Asheville, and other jaunts, still on the boards at present. Class elections will be coming up shortly; keep your eyes open for capable students to fill positions of responsibility. All students interested in running for an office are urged to con tact David Drum, S.G.A. President. This administration makes no claim to perfection. We fully realize that fact and open our minds to anyone bearing a sugges tion that smacks of feasibility. We are sincere in our desire to make this year one of Brevard’s finest; with a smattering of in terest radiating from the student body, we will. Hopefully yours, David Drum, S.G.A President Hazelton Is Queen The student body has selected Miss Billie Hazelton of Fan- wood, New Jersey, for Home coming Queen. Reigning over the fall festivities with Miss Haz elton will be Donna Nichols, of Lenoir, North Carolina, Sopho more attendant, and Sharon Ash worth, of Brevard, North Caro lina, freshman attendant. Today’s Cut: Never put off until tomor row what you can do today; there may be a rule against it by then. QmMII : Dr. Emmet K. McLarty, I President of Brevard Col- i lege, has been released : from the Transylvania Com- I miinity Hospital. Recover- \ ing from a recent illness, I Dr. McLarty is presently I recuperating at his home in : Brevard and is expected to i return to his duties in two I weeks. i The faculty, staff, and i student body send their i warmest regards to Dr. Me- i Larty, and continued best I wishes for a speedy recov- i ery. 0..
