i'l3 I Page Two EDITORIAL PAGE THE CLARION OCTOBER 15, 1965 • B ^iiiniiMiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiii From The Editor Before I left home, my sister, who knows me rather well, presented me with a copy of a quote trom a work of Thomas Mann. “Every artist is as bohemi an as the devil inside. Let him at least clothes and behave outw’ardly like a respectable - ing.” The college student population is made up oi artists and bohemians for one reason or another. Those reasons range from profound intellectuaiism to profound ignorance, each disguised as artistic viduality. In this mad dash to be an outside individuality has become mainly a property ot tne clothier and the visual impressionist. The symbol of artistry has become the desert boots, sandals, khaki pants (wrinkled), blue denim jackets, and convict shirts. Hair is long and straig it for the female, long and unkempt for the male. Beards are preferred for either sex if they are able to muster one. A bath is a bad dream. The key that opens the door is one of musical talent. Kazoos, har monicas, guitars, banjos, mandolins, washtub bass, «ven bottles partially filled with water will do, just 'play. So where is the artist and his art in this period of pandemonium? He is not hiding in Greenwich Vil lage, the left bank of Paris, loitering around the bull fights in Spain, nor squatting in a dismal slum of New Delhi. The artist lives in the penthouse apartment overlooking NYC’s skyline. He has a home on the French Riviera, a chateau out in the countryside. There is the artist. Now, who is the bearded one in the desert boots? Dear friend, meet the Exhibi tionist. For shame, but he is almost synonymous with ^‘college student.” This increasing breed occurs from the sudden release of parental control. This is mass revolution, social scale. The motto is “Grab a pla card and march.” And they do. From Birmingham to Rochester, Berkley to Brevard (echoes ’65). They are the leaders of the new age, prophets of a coming era, the voices of a thousand rights. Anyone for Mann? I didn’t think so. Brevard Expansion Provides Comments What do the students and faculty think of the exipansion of Brevard College? What do they think of a coed dorm or the idea of Brevard becoming a- four year institution? The following bits of infor mation were found to be the general trends of thought among students and faculty here at Brevard. Many of the students seem to feel that Brevard will eventually become a four-year institution. The teachers, however, appear to have mixed feelings on the subject. Mr. Fisher says that he thinks all the new building is “great” but he feels that Brevard should remain a small college of not more than 1200 students. If Brevard were to become' a four-year school, he would prefer it to remain small so that the student would still be able to retain his individual status. Along this same line, Mr. Adams stated that he would much rather have Brevard remain a strong junior college rather than become a weak four-year school. Mr. Adams also said that this will be the first time the music department will have adequate facili ties to work with. There will be soundproof rooms among other things, and the building itself will give the department more prestige. Donna Trull and Sandra Thompson both agreed that a new cafeteria will allow the entire student The Clarion I EDITOR Benji Sullivan 1 ASST. EDITOR Diane Warman BUS.

It student of time for special instruction in a subject that he might need that extra five minutes to make a pass- ^he other instructors are put at a disadvantage in that some hold their lecture for the always late stu dent. This cuts the entire class’s time for instruction. Other teachers begin their lecture only to have it interrupted for the student to seat himself and pare to take notes. This destroys the unity and thought pattern of the lecture, disrupting a continu ing interest that is not easy to replace. There is no reason for a teacher to keep a class after the first bell. It illustrates bad plannii^ and disregard for students and instructors alike. Educa tion such as that at Brevard can only operate effici ently when all the teachers obey little rules such as this one, and education at Brevard must remain effi cient. Dean’s Column CHAPERONS If you are having a hard time getting chaperons for your school function, you might try these sug gestions : 1. Each student should speak to the guests who are in the receiving line. Girls should lead through the line. 2. It is courteous for the men to ask the women chaperons to dance. Your date could dance with the man chaperon. 3. Offer to take the wraps of the chaperons, introduce them to your friends, make sure they are served refreshments, talk with them, and tell them good-by. You might even offer the cha'peron trans portation to and from the event. 4. Students are supposed to rise when the chap erons (or house-mother) enters or leaves the room. You should remain standing until she joins the group or leaves. If she is merely walking around the room and does not stop to talk with you, it is not necessary to rise. body to eat lunch and get the full benefit of the money paid for this purpose. Mrs. McCall seems to be very pleased about the cafeteria because of the double serving line. She said that the students won’t have to wait so long in line and, therefore, will get warm food which will make everyone happier. Gail Drake seemed to find the administration building very much to her liking. Her comments were, “I like the president’s office and the confer ence room. I could use a little of that carpeting in my own room.” It was the general opinion of everyone that the new buildings will help to beautify the campus, and add the much needed facilities. Donna Trull is quoted as saying, “It will defi nitely improve the morale of the students to work and live in new buildings, and I hate that I won’t be here to see it. It is also felt that the student union will provide for a more college-like atmosphere. The most commented upon structure-to-be was the coed dorm. Dianne Ross said, “I’m shocked out 0 niy mind that a Methodist institution like Brevard would ever consider such an idea.” One student seemed to think that it would im- proye relations between the boys and the girls, and another student merely smiled and said “interesting.” bandra Thompson, however, hit the nail on the combi^^+l’^ f happy to see the unique combination of nunnary and monastery.” is ton progress are that it and Jot :j^u“h wo™ nev remark was made by Francis Win- Open Mouths Hold Debate The Society of the Op, Mouth met recently at tiT (a dowjtol fire hydrant), and after fej their cancer and dreamiMi cirrhosis of the liver, they W to debate which was worse, barf or a skinch.
