Dulcimers will be included in
the exhibit. Mr. Hancock has
made about fifteen of these
instruments after having been
influenced by Mr. Homer Led
ford, a dulcimer-maker of
wide reputation while he
served a previous pastorate in
Winchester, Kentucky. In ad
dition to dulcimers, he has
made a mandolin, guitar, ban

Hancock builds his instru

ing his leisure time, and re
ports that it takes about 25
hours to build a single instru
ment.

The Student Legislature of
Brevard College tabled a mo
tion concerning the changing of
the weekend hours of the James
Addison Jones Library.
The proposal, presented by
Dave Chestnut and Herb Weis-
haupt, stated, in effect, that
the hours of Friday night be
cancelled and the hours, be ad
ded to Sunday night.
The proposal was that the li
brary close at 5:00 P. M. on
Friday night because of lack of
New Moratorium
Starts At Brevard
The final schedule for the
Kovember moratorium at Bre

Thursday evening, the 13th, at
p. m. in the lecture room
ir the classroom building, Mr.
John Humphrey spoke. Mr.
Humphrey is on the executive
board of the Friends commit
tee on national legislation, and

Peace Education section of the
American Friends Service Com-
®ittee in Chicago. Mr. Hum

use and that the extra three
hours be added on Sunday night
from 6:00 - 9:00 P. M. Thus, the
new hours on Friday would be
8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. We
feel that these new hours would
enable more students to use
the facilities. These new hours
should be based on a trial per
iod of one month before final
approval. Al=o, we recommend
the hiring of one half - time
librarian. This additional mem
ber would help relieve the work
load on the present librarians
and help make the future ex
tension of library hours possi
ble. '
Library Proposal Defeated
In another proposal concern
ing the library, the Student Leg-
islatnre defeated a plan present
ed by Representative John
Hoppe that the seminar room
in the basement of the library
be designated as a study hall.
The proposal called for the
room to be opened during the
library night hours during the
week, with the exception of
Thursday, and during library
hours on the weekend. The pur
pose of the room woipd be to
provide a semi - cjuiet place
for study where conversation is
necessary.
