Shakespeare Comedy Receives
Laughter Here Friday
■'The Tempest”, by William
Shakespeare, was presented No
vember 4 and 5 as a Ljceum
Mogram for the Brevard Col
lege students and Brevard resi
dents by a relatively new com
pany of playmakers, the Amer
ican Classical Theatre.
The companies’ premiere pre
sentation of Shakespeare’s play
was well received by the stud
ents and others who attended.
The production of Shakespeare’s
mystical comedy, directed by
Dennis Hayes, received a fresh
interpretation and presentation
by the players.
The American Classical Thea
tre Company is modeled after
the Catholic University’s Na
tional Players, which sponsors
a tour program for graduate
students.
The young actors originate
from all parts of the country
but most have lived in New
York City where the produc
tions for the company are cast.
The aim of the ACT is to give
the drama student experience
in dramatics through such de
vices as summer stock and tour
productions. While on tour, the
company plays before various
colleges and civic groups across
the country.
“The Tempest” centers around
a strange unknown island on
which was marooned the oust
ed Duke of Milan, Prospero,
and his daughter, Miranda.
With the help of the beautiful
Miranda and curious spirits and
a monster, Prospero was able
to trap his enemies and regain
his royal position. Miranda
found a handsome prince, and
the servant spirits were freed.

B. C. Idea Bank To Enter New Building;
Books And Students Will Meet In Style
“To read means to borrow,
to create out of one’s reading
is to pay off one’s debt.”
The Addison Jones Library,
with its staff collection of
books, aids each student using
it to live by Georg Lichten-
fierg’s idea of life. The entire
library plant is dedicated to
serving the student body in all
phases of college life.
Miss Della Shore, the first
librarian at Brevard College,
began this tradition by increas
ing tile variety and quality. The
Weaver College library, 6,000
volumes, formed the nucleus of
the present library. The Class
room Building, then called Spen
ser Hall, housed the library
which was staffed by one li
brarian with help from stud
ent assistants.
In 1948, however, the library
was moved to the present build
ing. The family of Mr. James
Addison Jones of Charlotte do
nated the money for the struc
ture which was named in his
honor.
Gifts ranging from $5 to $1,-
700 have helped increase the
circulation from 6,000 to 21,-
000 books. In 1944, shortly af
ter the death of Mr. C. E. Buck
ner, then Dean of the college,
the Alumni Association estab
lished the Buckner Memorial
Fund. Each year the interest,
$250, is used to purchase books,
especially in the reference
field. Over 300 volumes have
been added to the library in
this manner. Miss Beulah Zach
ary bequeathed her personal
collection of over 400 reference
books to the college. In 1965
Mr. Grier Beam honored Mr.
Carl Trowbridge, a pioneer of
Brevard College, with a $1,750
gift for the purchase of science
books. The librarians say that
nearly erery week they receive
donations that enable them to

Last week the president, Dr.
McLarty, academic dean, Dr.
Harris, and registrar, Mrs. Roy,
attended the North Carolina
Association of Colleges and Uni
versities. The N. C. A. C. U. con
sists of representatives from
approximately seventy colleges
and universities in the state,
both public and private. They
meet annually to discuss prob
lems, to work for higher stan
dards, and to form a closer unity
between the curriculum require
ments of the different schools.
During the three-day session,
members met in sections deal
ing with special areas of in
terest.
Dr. McLarty was elected vice-
president of the North Carolina
Association of Junior Colleges.
The main problem dealt with in
this secti^jn was insuring cur-
riculi that will allow easy trans-
ter to senior colleges.
Dean Harris’s section was with
the Association of Academic
Deans. While being primarily
concerned atoout the transfer
problem, he was also very in
terested in knowing student
opi.»ion regarding the worth of
college day since proposals
were presented at the meeting
to do away with this tradition.
Dean Harris has requested that
students’ opinions on this mat
ter be brought to his office.
Mrs. Roy attended the section
of registrars, who discussed the
merits and methods of computer
use in college administration.
The meating also gave Mrs. Roy
the opportunity to meet with
other registrars to exchange
ideas, thus making later inter-
college communications easier.
“It was a lot of hard work,
but it certainly paid off. It
surely does feel good to be con
ference champs,” said Coach
Th-ad Talley after his cross
country team won its first
Western Carolina Cross Coun
try Title last Saturday.
The Brevard roadrunners
copped the meet by taking the
first four places, with all run
ners going under 16:15 for the
three mile distance.
Sophomore, Captain Tommy
Hodge, was l^e first runner to
cross the finish line with a time
of 15:23.1, breaking his own
record by 17 seconds. Larry
White finished second with a
time of 15:41, Ned Jones was
third with 15:48, and Charlie
Allen rounded out the first
four finishers with 16:14.
The final standings were Bre
vard College 16; Wingate 55,
Lees McRae 69; and North
Greenville 102.
The 1966 Brevard Cross
Country team, rated by many
as one of the finest in junior
colleges, completed an 8-1
season, with the only defeat
coming at the hands of the
University of Tennessee Frosh.
The Brevard roadrunners
left Thursday morning for Pen
sacola, Florida, to compete in
the National Junior College
Championships. Only seven
runners of the nine man team
could make the trip due to
conference rules.
Pertelote
Wins Again
For the past three years the
PERTELOTE has brought home
first place from the judging of
the year books at Columbia
University. Last year’s book
made the record of the fourth
consecutive year plus an equal
ly honorable note of recogni
tion as first place winner in
the judging of the Associated
Collegiate Press at the Uni
versity of Minnesota. Last year
was the first year the PERTE
LOTE had been sent to Min
nesota, and it proved to be
quite rewarding. The judging
is done in categories according
to the size of the school pub
lishing the books. The PER
TELOTE is in the Junior Col
lege category having under 1,-
000 students. Each section of
the books (academic, sports,
administration, etc.) are judged
separately by different judges
specializing in one section. Of
course the books are inspected
on the basis of layout, pictures,
color, print, cut-lines and other
prospectives. Last year’s edi-
