' This is a warning to you, students of Brevard. [College. ' Beware the 12th of October, for on that day, I your fate could catch up with you. Beware. iBeware the “old grad” _ coming in with his I Homecoming cheer in a cooler in the trunk of a car, ' or in a bottle in his coat pocket. Beware the girl ! friend who sneaks a little “refreshment” into Jones ! or Beam Dorms to “liven up the weekend.” Beware the temptation to try to “get away with it, just this once.” You can’t get away with it. It’s been tried be fore. It doesn’t work. Is it worth the risk to you? Beware. An Attempt Is In Order The members of the SGA met with the Presi dential Council Monday night to discuss, mainly, the matter of communication between the Administration and the Student Body. During the course of the conversation several things became apparent about the administration of the college that were unknown to me and, I presume, to other students as well. I found that all of the people who run this school are not “old fogies.” In fact, some are far from senility. Also, they are not out to persecute us. They are sim'ply trying to perform their duties_ as Christians by showing us the “right” way of thinking. It was brought out that we live in a society made up of all types of people; tlierefore, mahy things have to be considered before decisions are made. Some times the administrators’ personal ideas and integ rity have to be compromised for the sake of the Col lege’s reputation. They get little thanks for this. The school officials want to communicate with us. They -are as vague on our needs and wants as we are on their policies. The Presidential Cotincil has . extended an invitation to all students to come and discuss any ideas or grievances they might have. If we accept this invitation, perhaps some fresh con structive thoughts may result. It’s certainly worth a try. WELCOME... This is just another welcome to be added to a long list of welcomes extended to returning alumni of the College. Welcome back ... to a lot of things. Welcome back to a campus that isn’t quite as small as it once was, but is now very beautiful in many ways. There is the James Addison Jones Library, completed in 1967. There is the A. G. Myers Din ing Hall, completed in 1968. There are the. project ed Goodson Classroom Building and the Sims Student Union Building. There are the surrounding moun- taisn, the gentle breezes, the floating clouds. It is great to have you here! THE CL/.

W. Hardin, Breivard College Business Maniager. The fountainis are a part of th.e.new. arran-gememt for the buildings of the BC campus. When the new Classroom Build ing is comipleted, the fountains wiill be located in the center of the oamipus. The project was a gift given by David Ginisburg, president of Gindy ManufaioturlBg Company. Mr. Ginsburg gave the foun tains to the .achool as a me morial to Earl Clontz. The gift was arranged for the sdhool by co-Uege truBitee Grier Beam for whom the adfnimiisitration build- in.g was named. Mr. Hardin said thait the Whole idea of the water foun tains originated with the late Brevard College President, Etn- mett K.

The entire project, which was started aibO'Uit’ a year ago, wil total sligbtly more than S13,- 000. lead in the Rresidenitial race as of today with Hubert Hum phrey and Geiorge Wallace vying for second place. Based on a survey conduct ed by the Washington Post, it is esitimated thait Nixon has come within 24 of the 270 elec- toiral votes needed for eledtion. There remains 13 states (215 electoral votes) raited as a toss- (Continued from Page One) up between the three leading estranged from the comparative ly afflueimt comimuniities, he would perhaps grasp tihe prob lem with a greater insigh't and, ho-pefu-lly, a far more reaching rehabilitation program for the ghetto. Trustee Board candidates. Although the Hum.phrey cam paign is on the upsurge, the combined total of his arid Wal lace’s efforts will not, in all llikelihood,. be able to stop the frontrunner, . Accordingly, it can be said that the fears of Wallace throwing the eleoticd to- the HO'Uise, of Repres.,enta(tives have been conjecture. Yet, the former Alaibama goveimor’s sitreng'th should not be consid ered lightly. Some experts as sess his popularity to exceed Htiimjphrey’s.

He is prone to over - simplify this is sue, however, resting m®sit of the blame cn the Supreme Court. “ . . . the decisions of the Supreme Cou'ft have trip ped the balance against the peace forces in this country and strenigthenpd the crim’nal for ces,” says Nixon. On the surface this appears to be a valid argument, but the problem cannot be solved by judicial power ailone. Were lotte; C. Grier Beam, Oherry- ville; Dr. Bmbree H. Blackard, Asheville. Orton A.
