fUAT A DAY! WHAT A DAY! By BUI Payton And Wayne Morton The cross country team of A College, under the of Thad Talley, con- Tu m outstanding season ?! bi« NUMBER 2 finish in llfna'ional championshi,p. The Sional Junior College cham- L race was held Novem- at the Long Island Agri- Lral and Technical Institute fiSdate, n™ York, Brevard scored 65 points but was nipped by Glendale, Arizona with 64 low score winnmg. Bob Gray and Dave Fussell both surpassed the three mile Lse record as they finished first and second respectively. Both received All-American honors as did the other top ten finishers, Gray’s time of 15:26.4 and Fussell’s time of 15:31 eas ily erased the old record of 15:37 set three years ago. Gray is a native of Camp Springs, Maryland, and is a freshman. Sophomore Fussell hails from Fort Royal, Virginia. Both have been unbeaten as they have led the team undefeated, down- i.ng such strong contenders as Tennessee, the University of North Carolina, and Davidson. “Topping off” a perfect sea son, the team easily won the Western Carolina Conference crown with a rear - perfect score two weeks ago. Other members of the team and their time and finish in the nationals are as follows: Mike Scurto, freshman from Vienna, Virginia: 16:15 — 11th place; Ned Jones, sophomore from Monterery, Virginia: 16:32 — 21st place; Bob Julian, sopho more from Hampton, Virginia: 17:04— 54th place; Jim Thames, freshman from Florence, South Carolina: 17:12 — 72nd place; Charlie Allen, sophomore from! Asheville, North Carolina: 17:28 —79th place. One hundred and fifty - two runners entered the race, rep resenting thirty - nine spools from- eighteen states. The top ten finishers received the dis- tinction of All - American and received trophies. The next ten finishers received medals. For the finish in the championship, the team was awarded individ ual medals and the Second Place team trophy. In an ssembly on November 14, Coach Talley presented the medals and trophies. He pre sented to Mr. Hardin, Business Manager of Brevard College, the team trophy. In this com ment Coach Talley stated: “No single person can be pointed out for it was a complete team effort. The men have worked hard and it has paid off!” Brevard’s two All-Americans, Bob Gray and Dave Fussell were asked to comment on the outcome of the race. Now national champion Bob Gray stated: “It was the hard est race I have ever run. Coach Talley and I planned how I would run the race the night before, but it was still torture. I knew from the gun that I had to move.” Dave added, “I was more nervous for this one than for any other race. The course was good, except in a few spots. When I finished with Bob in front of me, I thought that we had won for I knew that the others were close behind.” Both felt that they perhaps could have run better. As Dave pointed out, “You always feel like you could have run harder. I say that I worked hard, but I know I would have gone hard er.” Coach Talley explained that the times could have been bet ter if it had not been for the irregularity of the course. Gray’s fastest time this season has been 14:30. Fussell’s fast est has been 14:46. Both races were run on the home course. But as Coach Talley stated, the outstanding season is the possession of a team of men. It was a team effort and the Roadrunners certainly had the team. Buck Green of Charlotte, N. C., Norman Smith of Thom- asville, N. C., Roger Jones of Piedmont, and Mike Poole «( Titusville, Florida also share the honors having been mem bers of the 1967 cross c«untry team of Brevard College — the Best in Brevard’s History: (And definitely getting bet ter!)

Adams, chairman of the Division of Fine Arts at Brevard College has been elected treasurer of the North Carolina Chapter of the Music Teachers’ National Association. The MTNA is the oldest na tional music teachers associa tion, which has been in con tinuous existence for many de cades. Mr. Adams’ appointment is for two years, and such an appointment has made him a member of the executive com mittee of the state group. The duties of Mr. Adams are varied. Primarily, he will col lect dues from the more than 400 members of the Associa tion. (Membership is limited to college music teachers and some private piano teacher.) He must also handle all finances of the yearly convention in ad dition to those finances con cerning piano concerts sponsor ed by the MTNA throughout the state. In these contests, var ious students of the teacher- members of the MTNA can audition for local, then region al, then national scholarships. Mr. Adams will assume his duties in the near future. Clarion Initiates New Policy The Editor of the CLARION, in an effort to cut costs and at the same time reduce litter on campus, has announced that Last Tuesday and Wednesday nights proved to be a surprise for most reluctant Lyceum-go- ers. What happened? Well, the “Comedy of Errors” was fun ny! and for the second time this year there was an astonish ing number of students who didn’t leave after intermission. In fact, they returned to the dorms with something more than bleary eyes they got out of Lyceum what stud ents are meant to get out of it an identification with the artist. In this particular case, Shakespeare. The characters were well- cast, the parts well acted, and the lines were delivered with surety and meaning. And the audience responded with sheer appreciation. BC students ain’t so dumb- They know a well- produced play when they are forced to see one. Whether upcoming Lyceums will equal the first two in ap peal and general impact re mains to be seen. At any rate, let us hope that they will not again have to compete with a basketball game! as of now the newspaper will not be placed in individual mail boxes. This is due to the fact that many students do not read the paper, but merely dis card 'it indiscreetly about the campus. Originally, 800 newspapers were printed weekly. However, under the new policy, only 500 copies vnll be printed per week. CLARION expenditures for the month of October totaled ap proximately $500.00.
