Zen Den
Be Indian
Dr. Timothy Leary has said,
‘We can learn awiareness of
Bangs, Gail Matthew and Sally J^ature from the American In-
Perkins.
Half a Sixpence, a delightful
musical, was a smashing suc
cess in London, and then ran
nearly two years on Broad
way.
The play concerns young Ar
thur Kipps, played by Bruce
Armes, who gives his girl half
a sixpence, keeping the other
half as a lover’s token. Their
ctonming romance is upset
when Kipps suddenly inherits
a large fortune and is swept
away by new friends. As Kipps
is about to marry a society girl
he met recently, he encounters
his first girl again, who wants
to return the half a sixpence.
Kipps comes to maturity out of
dian, but we can’t imitate him,
we can’t become Indians. We
have to do our own thing.”
Tribal Night at the Ecstatic
Zen Den begins around 9:00 p.
m., Saturday, March 16. There
you can do your own thing and
more in true Indian fashion.
Tribal art and sayings wiM be
on the walls, and the Sacred
Pipe, symbol of peace, will be
passed while the strobe light is
on.
The Peace Core will be there
with many new songs, includ

Wear your moccasins, beads,
and feathers, and do your own
thing at the Ecstatic Zen Den!

Into Student Spotlight
BITS AND PIECES
On Wednesday night Mr. Fin-
lator met with the Brevard Col
lege women for an informal
discussion in Beam Parlor. He
began by asking the girls to
give him their impressions of
his daily messages. The com
ments were varied and were
stated very frankly. Mr. Fin-
lator seemed to especially ap
preciate comments such as:
“I wish you’d go home.
You’ve scared me into think
ing about myself and what I
J^ally am. I just haven’t
thinking seriously
enough.”
‘I think you came here to
bother people — but it’s a
good bother.”
You’re certainly no conser
vative. You lay things right
on the line and I like that.”
,«e discussion was ended
With Mr. Finlator’s answer to
question “What have you
gamed from your visit with
students?” He said per
haps the most imiportant thing
® e new friends he has made,
ve never met anyone who
made my life fuller.”

Convention plans and teach
er preparation appeared on the
agenda at the March 8 meeting
of the Student National Educa
tion Association conducted in
the faculty dining room. Kathy
VanNetta, president of the
SNBA, presented plans for the
chapter’s involvement in the
North Carolina Education As-
.90ciati0n Convention in Char-
iotte on April 5-7. A definite
number of delegates from the
BC chapter has not been deter
mined.
Mr. Harrison Tawney, advisor,
outlined in detail his comments
from the last meeting concern
ing teacher qualifications in
Spring” ended North Carolina. Mr. Tawney
croak skillfully pointed out that one pursuing a
Friendly is the word that
probably best describes this
week’s outstanding student—
Minnie Lloyd. Hailing from
Charlotte, N. C., this vivacious
coed is probably known to all
by her overwhelming friendli
ness and bubbling personality.
Minnie is also known by her
interest and participation in ac
tivities on and off campus.
Among these are parliamentar
ian of Beam House Council,
Secretary of Christian Council,
Save-aJhild chairman, Kappa
Chi, and Euterps. She is a mem
ber of the Methodist Student
Movement State Council and
works with the junior high at
the Methodist Church in Bre
vard.
Among Minnie’s likes are
food, tennis, football, baseball,
water skiing, and first floor
Beam. Her favorite subject is
history. Right now, Minnie
can’t wait for spring to arrive.
Also on her list of favorites is
going to Duke on weekends.
She admits she had a special
reason for wanting Duke to win
over South Carolina.
Minnie dislikes math, biology,
gossipy people, and especial
ly boys who push girls down
in the snow.
Mininie feels that Brevard
has given her a good back
ground to enter a four year
school. She loves all the peo
ple and wishes she could take
everyone with her next year.
While at Brevard, Minnie has
especially enjoyed the dorm
life and feels as though she has
made many life-long friends.
Next year Minnie plans to at
tend Greensboro College and go
into the fields of religion and
sociology. Whatever the fu
ture holds for this outstanding
student and person, it is sure
to be in the form of success.
degree in elementary educa
tion should re-evaluate his pres
ent study pursuits in anticipa
tion of such a degree.
The SNEA is a service or
ganization to those interested
students and 'will certaily be
re-evaluated and improvement
made after the convention.
