Time Is Fast Aflyin ’ The doors of Brevard College classrooms have admitted students and instructors f weeks now. That means we are nearly i/4 of tne way through our current school year. Just think! We sophomores have so little time left; soon it’ll be Christmas, then fprmg vacation, and finally graduation - three big events to fill our thoughts and crowd out lesser details. We must, however, remember one important ae- tail — to apply to that senior college while there is still time to be accepted. When we think of all the students who transfer to a four-year school, we real ize the need for an early application. APPLY NOW! Beat the rush — make sure you can get in “your” school! Cry Foul What is this world they tell us we will inherit? A man who recommends ax-handles as a solution to our race problems may govern Georgia, an actor is elected to Congress, Christian love is tempered by political expediency, as we fight a war of cont^n- ment in a country that needs no war. Our churches are civic clubs, our religion is ritual. Have we gone mad? Consider puny man building weapons capable of destroying himself, all with the realization that their use would wipe out every living thing on this small ball. Consider, too, the statement of the KKK: “We will wipe out violence if we have to kill every nigger in North Carolina to do it.” And consider. Reader, the row upon row of soul-destroying subur ban developments; the America w© are supposed to defend. What are we? We punish the insane, the addict, the poor in the name of Justice. Service to one’s country is meas ured in the number of people one kills, treason is re fusal to murder. Russia represses, America depresses, and China starves (though she now has a bomb). One puny voice doesn’t mean much. But it will save that person’s soul from this giant debasement, so I have a statement: “Straighten up World. I re fuse to inherit you. I will withdraw my love and my pity, and my concern. I will not be a part of the torture and slow asssasination of God. Straighten up. World.” Paul Allen To Whom It May Concern Tis Better To Have Lived By: Barbara Kimzey For the past several weeks, I have heard mentioned the word “goal” among faculty members, the administration, and students. It is a set stan dard that all colleges students should have. I became interest ed in the word simply because conformity is >dull. I found the word to mean “the end toward which effort is directed.” Since most effort is directed toward some end, I wondered what the reason for my having a goal would be. Is a goal mere ly a target at which to throw drafts of the future? Is a goal a dream which has minor pos sibilities? Is a goal an out lined plan of what I wish my future to be? These questions kept zooming through my mind. I found the answers to these questions quite unjreal and yet the answers seem to fit what others wanted me to have. As I continued to ponder this distressing four letter work I remembered something that I had over - looked before — a simple quotation from Leo Ros- ten, “The purpose of life is to matter, to count, to stand for something — to have it rnake some difference that you lived at all.” “Goal, I thought, and back to Webster’s definition I went — “the end toward which effort is directed.” It seemed clearer now — the effort to mater, to count, to stand for something, today — to, as all must, a final death, but also to an eternity of knovdng that it made some difference that you lived at all. And thus, a “goal” could not be formed yesterday and met today or formed to day and met tomorrow. A goal is a life. A life of living each day as it comes closer to an end and then living on into eternity in the hearts of others as a person who made living a “goal”. Reiter' ^Le (Editor Dear Editor, We, the residents of Lena Sue Beam Dorm not only are proud because we are the new est addition to Brevard but al so that we are pioneers. W® are the first class to live in Beam; therefore, our ideals and beliefs will begin the tradition of Beam Dorm. We feel the following ideals will become our tradition. We respect and care for our new home, and, therefore, want to preserve it the way we found it for others who will come af- ter us. . j. f We are all members of a fam ily and treat others as we our selves like to be treated. We beUeve that our dorm should not only be a comfortable place to live but more essentially a quiet place to study. Finally we maintain an at mosphere to which parents and visitors can come without wit nessing scenes they would not see in their own home. Sincerely, The first residents of Lena Sue Beam But-DoesHe ' Mean It? Baptists Plan Fun In Snow Have you been on a hayride or a nicnic held recently? Later this year (actually, with the first good snowfall) the B. S. U. plans a sleighing party. In the spring a hike to sliding Rock is the main event. Also they are going to Appala chian State College to meet with the Baptist group there. The sponsors of the group are Mr. Cantrell and Mr. Holcombe. The officers are Sandy Lucas, President; Jo Ann Pace, Vice- President; and Charlotte Hicks, Secretary. The club plans to offer dis cussions to strengthen each —Turn To Page Three John King, high - flying vice, president of S.G.A., is an excel lent mechanic, practical joker and poker-face liar. ’ He is also a housekeeper who causes Mrs. Walker to marvel She once gave him a room in! spection slip with only two words written on it; “Disaster Area.” John and his roommate cleaned the room, and then countered with a sign reading “The Pig Pen — Open under old management.” As vice - president of the freshman class last year, he showed his talent for organiza. tion in the planning of the spring dance. John, who rarely takes credit for anything, just says “we prayed a lot, and somehow it got done.” Students, however, had enough faith in his ability to elect him S.G.A. vice - president this year. It might be mentioned that John holds the record for the shortest campaign speech in the history of the school. When he ran for vice-president, he stood up and said, “I’ll make it short. I’d just like. to be able to raise a little (Cain) without having to sign a list. Thank you.” That was it. Period. And it won him the election. John combined a hobby and a low budget this summer and came up with the “sexiest” (a quote from an unnamed female) little red M. G. ever to grace Green Hall’s parking lot. He and a friend restored it to mint condition in their spare time. All right, so what else is new? John’s parents just bought a plane, which is nice, since John is a licensed pilot, and plans to turn “pro” after grad- at'on. He charters a plan from nearby airports on weekends r r’ has been known to dust off the dorms a few times, as a purely civic gesture. John believes in humor as a means of clearing the air, and I —Turn to Page Four The Clarion EDITOR Jenny Munro BUSINESS MANAGERS __ Jeanette Baldwin, Judy Caldwell STAFF Paul Allen, Barbara Kimzey, Tom Wolfe, Paul Otterness, Mike Henry, Randy Alexander, Jim Alderman, Mercedes Miguel, Sharon Paricer, Margaret Loony, Robert Tucker SPONSOR IVfrs.
