t ..0 B*' EDITORIAL PAGE i Page Two the clarion OCTOBER 22, 1965 ^ iitiiitilZl Children^ We Have ee.te?:aSXt‘: six year old’s reading capacity should be adoptea m M fo4s of our writing. Certainly the standards now being followed by both the students and ‘he admm istration warrant the change. There seems to be a contest of who can act the most immature. The students are slightly ahead, but their side. The great institution of Pledgmg ^ift the disordered dress and asinine actions gives them the slight lead. This is supported by sulkmg and social withdrawal when they are reprimanded. Also ey- dent is -the lack of self - control ^oncerning certain known laws and the complete absence of respect to higher authority. But, the administration has not proved itself entirely efficient. In an effort to justify its existence as a ruling class, it has slipped into strict enfor - ment of minor rule infractions, a beautiful case oi hair splitting. Even in its effort for ' ures, it was largely ineffective. The confinement campus was barely enforced and hardly effective, although the administration did proclaim the rul ing in effect until fifty names were given to the Dean. It is debatable whether these fifty names amount to anywhere near the actual participation. “Suffer little children to come unto me for they shall inherit the Kingdom of God.” Brevard College, if that statement be true, stands ready to possess the greatest campus ever yet seen by man. Phi Theta Kappa Sets Standard Most of the student functions should measure themselves and their productivity with that of the Phi Theta Kappa. In the short eight weeks since school began, they have accomplished more than the rest of the school combined. The Friday at Four has been one of the best col lege functions this ;paper has obse:^ed. Their first meeting was the beginning of a series on the moun tain people. Dr. Riegel, a former instructor here, spoke on the language of the Mountaineers. On Octo ber 8, Artus Moser, a recognized authority of the mountain people, spoke on Folk Narratives. Both pro grams were interesting and well worth the Friday time. The honor society also sponsors the Book Nook. This is the closest that Brevard has come to having an intellectual book store. The choice ranges from lightly religious to some of the most profound phili- sophical masterpieces in the written language. The society members give their time to run the store. Phi Thetas also meet every Monday night. The meetings are a series of their own where leading com munity leaders come to speak to them concerning problems and facets of the modern world. Phi Theta Ka;ppa will also give a plaque to the floor with the highest academic average at the end of the semester; they also plan to hold a coke party for students with the highest average. Part of the credit goes to their adviser, Mrs. Celia Tauscher. A former Brevard College graduate, she is an instructor in the English department. Mrs. Tau scher, in her short term as adviser, is chiefly respon sible for making the club as active as it is. Her intelli gence along with her imagination has brought about many of the changes. But a great part of credit goes to the student members themselves. They are the cream of their class and show it in their activity. _ The Clarion thanks Phi Theta Kappa for taking their rightful place as school leaders. No more select group could have established the standard, certainly not a standard as beautifully challenging. w war' WWW Sf*~/vo Hi If You Think, Write There is only one institution that guarantees every citizen the right to free speech and that is the newspaper. What he feels, what he thinks, public criticism all come under the press’ free dom. Every member of the student body has a right to this freedom, and he may exercise it by letters to editor. The Clarion will not censor any letters as long as their content is reasonable. If a student does not think that a group is doing its job, the letter will call public attention to it. If he feels that some public decorum is in bad taste for the school’s image. The Clarion will print his views. We welcome all criticism, both good and bad, or all aspects of the campus associated life. If you think, write. Sign a name and drop the letter by The Clarion office or the school store. Our main purpose is student voice. We can’t speak out if you don’t speak up. Dear Sponsors, How are you these days? We got the cash ben efit from you, 5,420 won lately with many thanks, and paid for my school tuition and brought some text books for second semester. The weather here is cool and bright enough for fall now, and five months have flown by already since I started my junior high life. Our school is very well known to the people that tennis and baseball teams are the strotigest ones in schools here. Therefore, I am making an activi ties as a member of tennis team. I began to learn how to play the tennis with the racket. It seems that it will take some time to be accustomed with its 'play ing. I wish I could show you what I am playing the tennis in the future. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, I will close here for now. May God bless you!
