BREVARD COLLEGE, BREVARD, N. C., OCTOBER 7, 1966
NUMBER 2
Where Is The Missing One?
Almost 600
There was a deafening, con
tinuous roar Tuesday, October
27 as the sophomores returned
to the campus in the highlands.
Faded curtains, broken lamps
and wrapped bulletin boards
were slowly carried back into
the dorms for their second year
of college life.
The reunion ended early Wed-
nesday morning, and the hectic
business of registration began.
Freshmen started the tedious
task at 8:00, and many remain
ed late in the day still writing
their almost forgotten name ov
er and over. Sophomores enter
ed the Dunham Music Center at
1:00 and immediately lost their
confidence at finding at least
a third of the underclassmen
still busy and most of the choice
classes filled. As the faculty
registered the 599 enrolled
students, they grew increasing
ly weary, and by 3:30 were so
numb they were unable to leave
their seats for a cup of coffee.
By 5:09 the seemingly endless
day was finished, and so was
everyone who had taken part
in it.
The sentiments of the fresh
man class were stated by one
tired girl as she left the Music
Center Building. “It’s over.
But a sophomore smiled and set
her straight by replying, “No, it’s
only started.” . .

arrived on Sunday, September

Shorthand Lab
Is First Used
In WNC Area
Brevard College is once again
leading this area in education
al firsts.
The Lanier Learning Labora
tory, supplementary equipment
for teaching shorthand, has re
cently been installed in the
business department of Brevard
College by Mr. William Harri
son, General Sales Manager of
the Educational Division of the
Lani.er Company. This lab, made
possible by the Vocational Act
of 1963 in which federal funds
were made available to the
business educational classrooms,
will increase the individual
help each student can receive
and will allow each to go at his
own speed.
The lab, which was construct
ed following the suggestions
made by various teachers in the
vocational technical schools of
Georgia, is not a “teaching ma-
chine”^ but merely helps the
teacher by providing separate
programs for the students.
According to Mrs. Munro, the
head of the business depart
ment, “Allowing students to go
at their own pace should help
shorthand become a more prof
itable course. This individual as
sistance is the primary reason
for obtaining the new lab.”

Brevard College took place
