BREVARD IS BEST---YES

made the game go into over
time. In the overtime period the
talented Tornadoes complete

ed 15 points while holding the
Bulldogs to 4.
Co-captain Pete Peters poured
in 27 points as he played one of
his finest games this year. For

played one of his finest games
this year. Forward Joe Bob Nes
bitt, who played one of the
best games of his career, pump
ed in 25 points to share scoring
honors vidth Peters. Flashy south
paw Bob Pickens also played a
tremendous game as he net
ted 18 points. The 18 points for

story became his consistent ball-
hawking combined with his nu

dropped in 15 points and grab

vacuum cleaner. Other scorers
were Ronnie Sherrill 3, David
Morrow 2, and Jim Hammond 2.

Whatley To Compose
March For Record
Mr. George Larry Whatley,
instructor of music at Brevard
College, was commissioned in
January to compose a concert
march for an associate of Cen
tury Custom Recording Ser
vice in California. The com-
jiany records the music produc
ed by bands participating in
state festivals, music camps,
and other events.
If Mr. Whatley’s composition is
completed by the end of May,
!.t will be premiered on Jime 10
at the University of Alabama
Music Camp by the music camp’s
Concert Band, composed of ap
proximately 100 musicians.
Hopefully, Mr. Whatley will
hear his music premiered at
that time.
“I am glad,” he said, “we
have Easter vacation, and the
semester will be over on May
15.” This will enable him to de
vote some time to his composi
tion without the additional re
sponsibility of conducting class
es at the college.
Mr. Whatley, who received his
B M. degree and did graduate
study at the University of Ala
bama and the University
North Carolina, came to
vard College in 1963.

Religious Emphasis
Week Gives Students
Wider Perspectives
Religious Emphasis Week
was observed at Brevard College
Sunday, March 6 through Thurs
day, March 10. The Reverend
Richard J. Crowder, who is out
standing in his work with young
people, was the speaker. The
week began with a dinner Sun

home dizring which the members
of the Christian Council and
other student leaders met and
talked informally with Mr.
Crowder.

ham Auditorium at 10:00 on
Monday and Tuesday, and 9:00
a. rn. on Wednesday. Classes

Students Suggest
Sunday evening, February 28,
a group of Brevard College
students met at the home of Dr.
David Lea and started an eve
nings’ evaluation of Brevard
College by munching on ham
burgers and joking about the
College. Students brought out
such problems as inconsistence
in the administration’s policies,
lack of choice between a va
riety of social activities, and a
coffee house.
Other discussion centered
around pettiness of rules ( es
pecially the girls’ rules), the
profanity rule, limited library
hours on weekends, deduction
of academic quality points for
non - academic reasons, and of
course, the enforcement of the
drinking rule.
The students felt there was a
real need for an off campus,
student - controlled “joint”. A
Coffee House idea was suggest
ed. The students decided to
present the idea to the adminis
tration and work to get it this
semester.
The group will be meeting
again soon to talk with Presi
dent McLarty. The students
feel that these meetings may
create better communication be
tween students and the admin
istration.
