WARNING!
An increasing quantity of promotional material
from foreign schools and colleges has prompted the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to urge
students to investigate thoroughly foreign institutions
before enrolling.
A Southern Association statement said some for
eign colleges and schools are using high pressure tac
tics to sell programs of questionable academic quality
and have deceived American students and some col
lege officials.
Students planning to study abroad and who plan
to transfer the credit to an American institution should
first determine whether the college or university in the
United States will accept the credits, the statement
continued.
Failure to check in advance the acceptability of
courses offered by foreign institutions can easily re
sult in the loss of credits, it was pointed out.
The Southern Association, the accrediting agency
for colleges and schools in 11 Southern states, also
issued a similar warning to high school students plan
ning to enroll in summer programs offered by foreign
high schools.
“This warning,” the statement said, “should not ^
be considered a blanket indictment of foreign institu
tions for many of these schools and colleges offer
quality educational programs.”

There seems to be an epidemic spreading
throughout the campus. At first mention of this we
might conclude that it is “Mono”. However, though
there have been a number of students afflicted with
such an illness, the disease of which I speak is much
more widespread. I might even go so far as to say
that it effects nearly 99% of the student body. Many
have this malady without even realizing it. Could
you be a victim? If you have any of the following
symptoms, you do possibly have this in either an
acute or mild form: (1) A profound dislike to be in
closed places, more specifically—the dorm. (2) A
desire to stay outside among the stimulating creations
of nature. (3) A tendency to become lost in day
dreams. (4) A blatant atmosphere of nonchalantness.
(5) An impelling urge to go places and do things, to
“let your hair down,” so to speak. (6) A desire to
be with that “special someone” constantly.
These are just some of the more evident sym'p-
toms of this strange infirmity. As far as a cure is
concerned, medical science hasn’t as yet been able to
produce even a mild restorative. This strange afflic
tion, commonly know as “Spring Fever” is one which
will only subside with time. Therefore, since we have
no means to overcome this, we might as well make
the best of it—for this disease is actually one which
can be enjoyable as well as unharmful. The most im
portant danger to be concerned with is allowing it to
dominate our lives, making us lazy and unmindful of
our studies. But if controlled properly, this can be a
disease which will serve as an incentive to learning.

Below is the main body of a letter to the Brevard
College student body. It is from the program direc
tor of the Child Welfare division of the Save the
Children Federation. We think that this is the best
plea we can make for Save-a-Child. Please read it,
and decide for yourself.
Dear Sponsors,
Now Yung Hwan has grown u'p a lot both in
mind and body. He gi'aduated from his primary
school last February and entered a fine middle school
through a difficult entrance test. He now seems to
be very proud and happy to be a middle school stu
dent. Now he realizes that he is no longer a child
but has reached the age when he has to behave with
more prudence, diligence and ambition to be able
to compete with his classmates more efficiently. The
boy says he finds many new and interesting things
at his school. He says that he felt a little uneasy and
awkward when he entered this school first but now
he is quite used to the new life of his school and gets
along well with his classmates.
Since the time of last status report, the boy has
grown two and half inches. He is gentle and kind
and he gets along well with his classmates. His fav
orite subject is Korean language. During his leisure
time,, he likes to read books, but he often does not
have enough books to read. We are sure that this
year will be a rewarding year to the boy.
The family is living in a small rented room in the
western district of Seoul city. The boy’s mother does
house chores for her neighbors. She works hard but
her earnings are very small. The boy’s 23-year-old
sister Yung Ja works at a small company and she
helps her family with her earnings. The boy’s 20-
year-old sister works as a housemaid but her earnings
are not enough even to meet the expenses of her own.
His 17-year-old sister quit school last year for her
family could not afford her school fees His 9-vear
old twin sisters Yung Sook and Yung Soon are in 4th
grade of primary school.
The Yoon family is in need of help very much
and so we sincerely hope the sponsors, Brevard Col-
wln '^+1^ continue their warm-hearted
help tor the boy s further education and welfare.
It was so very quiet for so
very long. There was hardly
ever a sound, except the occa
sional opening and closing of the
doors, the scuff of Weejuns hur
rying their wearers to the Soda
Shop, and the sweet nothings
that couples in love whispered
to each other in the dark com
ers. A thick coat of dust set
tled daily over the furniture and
floors, and was duly swept up
once a day.
Occasionally, a sophomore
would wander through and stop
for a moment to reminisce, re
membering how it was last year.
Ghosts of the past seemed to
filter in with the sunbeams. It
was strange when one imagined
the place as it used to be. Bud
and Vickie dancing in a corner,
Mike Harris and Carolyn Ricker
doing some sort of wild gyra
tions in the middle of the floor,
and Bert Daniel dancing with
anybody, anywhere. And it was
sad, when one saw the empty
room with hardly any sign of
life. There was no music, no
dancing, and nobody laughing
over a joke.
That was last week, and last
month, and last semester.
WHAM! With almost stun
ning speed, the whole picture
has changed! From a quiet, dull,
dusty, empty room, the student
lounge has been converted to a
veritable beehive of activity.
From 9 in the morning until 10
at night, the walls resound with
the beat of the current top ten,
and the entire CCB vibrates
gently as a result of dozens of
students doing dozens of differ
ent dances. It is really amazing
that the installation of a juke
box can bring about such a dras
tic change. Gone is the peace
and quiet of first semester, the
empty student lounge, and the
eternal complaint “There’s noth
ing to do around here.”
Roll over, Beethoven, and
make room for a crowd of dan
cers, one jukebox, and the sound
of “Shotgun.”
Anybody got a quarter to feed
the jukebox?

The Editor, The Clarion—
With a stagnant lounge on
our campus, Ken Query suggest
ed to the S.G.A. that a juKeoox
he placed in the lounge.
Last week, through the work
of the S.G.A., we received a
jukebox. Even though it does
consume an overwhelming num
ber of coins, it is a good change-
Now, contrary to the past, it
“safe” for anyone to enter the
lounge at any time. Are thera
more things to come
S.G.A.? I hope so.
