PAGE TWO THE CLARION
March 2, 1968
Ensemble Concert
Is Sun. Nite
His Name Is Mudd
We were thumbing through a copy of College
Scene while meditating in the
ning, and came upon an article of such interest, we
felt it was a must item for Clarion enthusiasts^.
The article, or perhaps advertisement, Misted
nbout twenty - five well - known personages, and ol-
fered them as lecturers for hire.
umerated were Pearl S. Buck, Dr. Timothy Leary,
and A1 Capp. But one handle of
claim caught our eye ——with two
fflamouous or romantic, but it is spelled with two
d’B.
TV fans know him as the debonair young report
er of CBS, an excellent journalist and commentator.
We think a speaker such as Mudd would be well-
received at Brevard, and cannot help but wonder
if arrangements could be made to sponsor him via
a Lyceum program, even if it is next year.
As far as we know, he doesn’t play a violin, or
sing, or act; but we do believe he would speak on
such topics as Vietnam, the racial situation, and the
upcoming Presidential Election. One thing is for
gm-e Brevard College is overdue for a speak
er of national prominence, one who can offer the
students an informed comment on our times.
What Do You Think?
We’re sick of hearing snide remarks about the
Clarion not being a student paper. The Clarion de
pends upon the students for both ite news and its
views. If there is not much news in the paper, then
the students aren’t doing anything; and if the edi
torial page is an ineffectual puff of smoke, it s be
cause the students aren’t expressing their opinions.
The news end of the paper has not fared badly
the clubs and various departments are active,
sports news is frequent, and features are constant.
However, we have found the opinions of students to
be elusive creatures when enticed to be captured in
black and white. The griper is a common phenome
non, but the doer, the guy or gal who states his or
her opinion on a matter for the whole school to read
that individual is sheer rarity! And is perhaps
on the road to virtual extinction on campus.
We ask you to express your approvals or dis
approvals on paper and send them to the Clarion.
The Clarion cannot be the students’ paper in fact un,
til it becomes the spokesman for the students in real
ity.
The Brevard College Wind
Ensemble will present a con
cert at 8:00 P. M. on March 2,
in Dunham Auditorium. In ad
dition to a number of full band
numbers, the program is un
usual in that it also will fea

companied by instrumentalists

Cooperation Remedies A Hazardous Situation
These improvements, when made, represent a
chain of codperation. First the studento recogn^.
danser and the need for action. Second, the
espo^sfradministration to the need by bringing
[t tbthe attention of the State Highway Commission.
the review and recommendations of the State
Sway Commission to correct the hazardous sit-
uation.
In the early part of last semester the CLARION
carried an editorial pointing out the danger involved
Rrevard College Students crossing the four-lane
higW from the cam'pus to the Methodist Church
and to the shopping center.
This editorial was one of the factors in leading
administration to take some action to remedy the si1>
nation Mr. Joseph C. Bowles, Director of Public
Relations for Brevard College contected Mr. Josep^
M Hunt Jr. Chairman of the North Carolina State
Highway Commission, and called his attention to this
hazard, asking that it be investigated,
Last week Mr. Bowies received a reply from
Mr. Hunt stating that the Traffic Engineering Staff
had made a review of the traffic problems at Bre
vard College. They are planning to install a signal
at the intersection of North Broad Street and Cald
well Street. This, they believe, with the signal at
French Broad intersection and at the Caldwell
Street intersection will allow sufficient gaps in the
traffic streams for the students to safely cross the
streets. They also propose that a cross walk for
students be installed on North Broad ^reet dirMt-
ly in front of the college and in front of the Metno-
dist Church.
Mr Hunt has requested that the Traffic Engi
neering Department proceed with these improve
ments at this time.
McNeil Speaks
At Chapel
The following poem is, in actuality, a song. But
it is hoped that the lack of a melody will not detr^t
from the meaning, which should be considered the
most important aspect.—^The Author
Architeuthis Princeps
‘Successful rules must come
from within” is a quite profound
statement and was a major sub
ject of a chapel address de
livered by Barry McNeil, Bre
vard College student from Jack
sonville, Florida. The chapel
was presented February 21 in
Dunham Auditorium. Mr. John
Setzer, instructor otf religion,
student Orion Holen, and the
Bounty Three (George Patter
son, Peggy Killian, and Teena
Windham) also took part in the
program.

McNeil spoke entirely o^f a
simple concept of objectivity.
He emphasized the doctrine
‘Know Thyself” and offered it
as a key to the many problems
that now face our world.
“It is time for man to be hu
man and to step up and for
feit all of his stupid prejudices,”
McNeil co'mmented.
The program was unique in
that it offered everyone some
thing. The address, presenting
many topics from the human
manifestation of violence to
honesty, was timely and very
relative.
‘“We piped to you, and you did not dance.” *
In a paddy stands a man with a rifle in his hand.
He’s all alone save for the gun to prevent the ren
dering of his Flesh and bone.
The slant-eyed men not far beyond him are intent
to kill and main.
As he fires and he reloads, he tells himself now s
not the time
To ask, Is it really worth the pain?
And when you, my friend, begin your throes of psedo-
excitation
You had better think twice before you start to ex
pound condemnation.
For were it not for man with the rifle in his han
You would ultimately choke from the blue ink from
the red squid
That swallows all it can.
And the tombstones at Arlington scream as the sun
grows darker,
“You should take your sign and bum it, along wi
your magic marker.”
Take the time to look around you when you sta
to vocalize.
Observe the blue ink from the red squid, gorge i
self on human lives.

LUNCH-IN
A “Lunch - In” is going to be
held by Mr. John Setzer and all
interested persons. Anyone in

sophy is invited to at
tend the dialogue over lunch.
A trial run will be held Mar.
5 and Mar. 7 at twelve noon in
the cafeteria behind the salad
table. The “Lunch - In” is be
ing held because some feel a
need for more faculty-student
interrelatedness.
