February 5, 1971 the clarion Mr. Ives Is New Addition To Brevard College Faculty The most recent addition to the Brevard College faculty is the new swimming instructor and student activities coordina tor, Mr. Toby Ives. Mr. Ives is not exactly new to Brevard College. He attended college here from 1964 to 1966 and went on to Guilford Col lege in Greensboro to obtain a B.A. in economics. Mr. Ives then returned to Brevard and worked in the Ad missions office from 1969 through 1970. In June, 1970, he left Brevard College and went on a tour of Europe with his wife who is a Brevard College alumna. About the middle of Novem ber, 1970, Mr. Ives returned to Brevard and became the new .'iwimming instructor and co ordinator of student activities. Hi,'^ office is in the student union where you will find him during his scheduled hours. Mr. Ives stems to enjoy the outdoors. A few of his hobbies are aquatics, aquatic sports, boating, scuba diving, and campu ing. The country around Brevard College seems ideal for many of these hobbies, so perhaps he will stay a while.

Record Review Bee Gees Release Album: 2 Years On By Mark Todd 2 Years On, the latest al bum by the Bee Gees, was re leased in early January and features the return of vocalist Eobin Gibb to the group. Re joining his brothers, Barry and Maurice, after a short stand on his own, he once again adds his unique vocal talents to the bea- tifully arranged ballads of pen sive emotion. The group, which writes and aranges all of its own materials, also is dependent on the out standing piano of Maurice Gibb in many of the selections. Also important is the 30-piece or chestra which provides the mel low background that has con tributed greatly in the Bee Gees great success since 1967, when they first burst forth on the American scene with “New York Mining Disaster 1941.” However, the Australian group has successfully variated its style since its early days of prominence in Pop Music. Oc casional and moderately light rock, country and western, and beautiful instrumentation all are becoming more influential ingredients in the Bee Gees latest releases. Of particular note in the new album are the hit tune “Lone ly Days,” “Alone Again,” “Sin cere Relation,” “Portrait of Louise,” and the title song, if any few songs can be singled out. Group leader Barry Gibbs also is significant on guitar and with his vocals. The title “Portrait of Louise” is symbolic of the group’s hit studded repertoire, in that the group attempts, and succeeds with unusual success, in paint ing a portrait of the melancholy and subtle things in life. It is quite easy for one’s own emotional experiences to come to the fore in reaction to the- emotional, all out performance of the Bee Gees.

One glance at the speedometer told me we were leaving the track behind us at 110 mph as the engine propelled us still faster. This was my first hign speed experience as my friend Mike Faggart tested a new racing part on his 1969 Datsun 2000. Mike has been racing for almost a year now and has won several awards. He explained to me that his field of racing (slalom), requires much more maneuver ing skill than speed. The driver is required to thread his pre cision racing machine through series of pylons. Mike also em phasized the importance of safety in competition. Each racer is required to pass an ex tensive safety check before the car is allowed to compete.

Michelle had been chosen to run for presi dent of the dorm. All of this occurred last year. Michelle has since then made this dream come partially true. The basement of Jones has been remodeled. The two-tone floor is now a pretty, vivid blue. Even the furniture has been repainted and antiqued with blue, orange or green. Blue print curtains give added color to the room. Hopes are that some of the excess parlor furniture will be moved in the near future down to this study area. Michelle feels that this area will provide a relaxing and quiet area for those who are looking for a place to study in noisy Jones Dorm. Hutchinson Plans Unusual Sermons The Rev. Orion N.
