TORNADO WARNING!
;By Ronnie D. Smith
SPORTS EDITOR
The establi&ment of a Fellowship of €hristiaaa
Athletes chapter :at Brevard has caused some ques
tions to be raised,concerning the effectiveness, pur
pose, to be justification for such an organization. The
major question se^ms to be “Will the PCA become
an active organizadjion and actually do something
for Brevard College and the surrounding area, or
will it degenerate *nto a mere ‘club’ that only has
members, occasional meetings and no definite goals
or purposes?” The qaiestion is a valid one.
The FCA is designed to be an active part of
community affairs and there is no reason why Bre
vard’s chapiter shouldn’t be. There is a challenge to
be met in the Brevard area. There are many op-
pbrtunities for interested and dedicated individuals
to be of servce to the public and to promote better
relations between people, A Christian athlete could
do wonders with such a challenge. With the lead
ership abilities that are essential in athletic compe
tition, one can organize and lead people to advan
tageous goals. An active FCA chapter at Brevard
eajn be a beneficial aspect of not only the college
community but also the town of Brevard by utiliz
ing the athletes’ puWic influence and leadership
abilities.
The FCA on the other hand, can become as have
many of the other organizations on campus, an in
active, disinterested, social gathering that has no
goals higher than being a member of some select
group. This would be tragic, but it can haippen if
the members of the FCA so desire. The Brevard
Chapter can be a dead branch of a very live tree.
The organization is one of zeal and dedication
and that is the only way that it pan function prop
erly. With advocates like Bart Starr, Bobby Richard
son, Paul Anderson, Fran Tarkington, and Paul Diet-
zel, just to mention a few, you might say the FCA
has some prominent backers. These men haven’t
devoted time to the the FCA to be a part of some
social club. They are dedicated to the causes and
g^ls that the Fellowship seeks to attain. They are
Christian men who make time to give of themselves
to something they believe in. They do not need the
reeognition, or money, or anything along those lines.
Ti^y feel that through their influence they can
achieve a very important goal.
Brevard may not have any Bart Starrs, Bobby
Richardsons or Paul Andersons floating around, but
it can boast some mighty fine College athletes, who
could have a very definite influence on the lives of
some individuals who need help in one form or anoth-
1^1 the FCA these,athletes can find an out
let f^ their need to become a part of their world.
• FCA can be an integral part and an
mtluential factor around here. It’s up to the mem-
bep to make it a worthy endeavor. The Challenge
IS here There’s plenty to be done. All that is lack-
ing IS the dedication and conviction to do t.
