THE CLARION DECEMBER 3, 1965
So Draws Semester To A Close
With this newspaper the editor announces not
only the end of a semester, but also the end of his
reign as the head of The Clarion. In closing, there
are several people he would like to thank for their
assistance and aid, people who were mainly respon
sible for the paper’s continued publication.
First, there would be Diane Warman. Her ex
cellent handling of the Assistant Editorship coupled
with her interest in Journalism must place her at
the top of the Journalism class. She has been inval
uable at the Monday and Tuesday night layout meet
ings and the final proof on Thursday afternoons. I
cannot adequately thank her, for without her, there
■would have been no weekly newspaper.
Our best feature-news stories have been consis
tently turned out by Irvin Prescott and Paul Allen.
Irv has had a touch with subtle humor that must
be appreciated, and his knowledge of music has fully
covered the Lyceums and student recitals. Paul is a
regular columnist with the Open Mouth Series which
has satirized some of the more flagrant campus
abuses.
Jenny Munro, Gail Drake, Madeline Wynecoop,
and Jeannie Crenshaw have covered the new routes
for The Clarion. There are very few stories they
missed, and the ones they did were usually the edi
tor’s faulty by misinformation. As the backbone of
the paper is the news force, they could not be slighted.
Our sports have been handled entirely by Jim
Case. The complete coverage of all the events is
directly attributed to him. He has done such a com
petent job that I never had to assign the stories nor
tell him that there were some.
Impossible to look over would be the advertis
ing staff under the direction of Jim Eeeves. Not
only have they provided the palper with the first true
ad financial support, but they have improved the
paper-town merchant’s relationship. Judy Caldwell
and Elaine Mason canvassed the town making sure
that no merchant did not have a chance to adver
tise. Jeanette Baldwin helped sell ads and also kept
the books straight.
Mr. Richard Wilson and Mrs. Ena Kate Sigmon
served as the editorial sounding board, and, I might
add, I got some pretty strange sounds. They are
responsible for keeping the paper on an even keel
when there were times, I am sure, that the paper
would have tipped, and possibly rolled over.
The Times personnel must be given their due.
Editor John I. Anderson has helped on The Clarion’s
final points, giving advice that has made the weekly
a much easier task. Henry Henderson and ‘Shorty’
Byrd made the final galley and put the paper to bed.
It wa*s their imagination and know-how that prevent
ed many a journalistic Waterloo. Roland Jones fought
the linotype and set many an article for me way past
the deadline. Tommy Brown and Dickie Phillips set
my headlines. All the errors came from the mis
interpretation of my handwriting.
Open Mouth Makes Suggestions,
What To Get The Little Woman
The biggest question for men of ^
leee- What to get HER for Christmas. It must be
somethinK warm, personal yet in
of all, it must be cheap. A cup of coffee with her
name spelled out in whipped cream
Sove considerations, but there are others that might
*^Santa might bring your girl a
matching boots. He’d better, cause of course you
can’t afford it. Along these lines, though, you migM
give her a pair of minks with instructions on how
to “Grow your Own.”
If she smokes, there are numerous giits that will
please her. A gift certificate good for one month at
the Black Mountain Tubercular Clinic, for instance.
A silver-plated cigarette lighter in the shape ot a
hydrogen bomb is always a nice gift. It’s so heavy
she can’t carry it, so big she can’t hide it, so ugly she
can’t keep it, so she’ll have to give up smoking in
order to tactfully get rid of the thing.
Most girls like to look back fondly on their col
lege years. This suggests many things, not the least
of which is insanity. However, mementos make nice
gifts. Have her um'brella gold-plated. Or get a spe
cialty house to engrave a map of Brevard on the head
of a pin, then fill the rest of the sipace with the his
tory of the school. The possibilities are endless.
Clothing is another item dear to girls’ hearts.
For the latest in formal wear, buy your girl a gown-
less evening strap.
There are certain things NOT to get your loved
one for Ghristmas. A toothbrush, a can of deodorant,
or make-up kit are not appropriate gifts. She prob
ably won’t be delighted with a subscription to PLAY
BOY, a shotgun, or a football.
Don’t put too much faith in the old saw “Give
what you’d like to receive.” One boy offered his girl
a “great big kiss” for Yuletide. She replied coldly,
“I hope to heaven you’re not planning to deliver it.”
If your gift problems get you down, remember,
it might be easier to break up before Christmas.

Adams Attends Music Conference
On November 25-27, Mr. Nel
son Adams attended the annual

tional accrediting agency for

Two lyceum programs are
scheduled for second semester.
The first of these, to be held
Feb. 7, is a drama groiup, The
Kaleidescope Players. The play
to be presented is Dylan Thom
as’ “Under Milk Wood,” an al
ternating comedy-drama set in
a small Welsh fishing town.
This will be the first time
Brevard College has viewed the
Players, who come highly rec
ommended.
The s€^nd lyceum vrill fea
ture Philip Hanson, billed as “A
Company of One.” Mr. Hanson
does monologues from Shake
speare, Dickens, Browning, and
others, with no special costumes
and no props except a chair. He
creates his characters with his
hands, face, body, and voice.
Philip Hanson has appeared at
Brevard before, in 1963-64, when
his program entitled “Kings and
Clowns” (excerpts from Shake
speare’s major plays) held stu
dents and faculty alike spell
bound.
not currently a member, has
been using NASM’s standards
for a number of years.
Membership in the group
would make Brevard’s Music
Department recognized more
easily by schools to which stu
dents wish to transfer. Courses
would be more readily accept
ed, as other schools would be
certain that Brevard is up to
national standards.
NASM’s requirements for jun
ior colleges are as follows: (1)
all basic standards for the first
two years of a music major (i.e.
theory courses) must be met and
(2) applied music (private in
struction) must be offered in aJl
areas in which students may
wish to major.
If able to apply, Brevard will
be notified of its status in the
Association after the November,
1966, meeting.

of the evening, it ranged ovei-
such varied questions as j-azz in
Iflie church, possible raises for
ministers, the effectiveness of
sudden conversion, civil diso
bedience, and the pros and cons
of raising the age when young
people join the church,
Mr. Wallace summed up his
view of the function of religion
as being, “To enable man to

and hope in the face of the un
controllable, precarious aspects
of life.”

are Miss Sadie North, Miss

and Mrs. Frankie Miller.
Since his period of service at
Brevard Inst., Mr. Orr has wort
ed in insurance and real estate.
Mrs. Orr, as Chairman of the
Board for Transylvania County
Library, was largely instrumen
tal in securing the present li.
■brary building, as well as the
recent addition which has been
added. At the dedication of the
new addition to the library, Mrs.
Orr was recognized by Mrs, Kapp
as the person who had given
herself to the task of securing a
proper building for the ho®
ing of the library, regardless of
obstacles.
Prof. and Mrs. Max Pangle
came to Brevard college from
Gardner • Webb college in
1934. Rutherford and Weaver
colleges had joined with Bre
vard Institute to become one
institution under the owner
ship of the Western North
Carolina Conference of the
Methodist Church. The Pan-
gles were given the responsi
bility of helping to open the
new college, which was un
der the leadership of Prof.
Trowbridge. The new presi
dent brought with him from
Weaver College some of their
best faculty, which included
Miss Smith and Miss Hayes.
The Pangles have always been
devoted Methodists, and they
particularly wanted to teach in
a Methodist school, Mrs, Pangle,
who holds the M. A. from Co-
liimbia University, taught math
ematics, Prof. Pangle, an M. A.
graduate of U. N. C., taught the
social sciences. They retired af
ter 18 years of service, but con
tinued to maintain a close rela
tionship with the college. When
there was any special assembly
where faculty were to ibe pre
sented, the Pangles could ^
counted upon to be there in
cap and gown. Prof. Pangle, re
cently deceased, will be remem
bered as an alert man of quick
wit who was interested in «''■
erything about him.
