CAMELOT, Lerner and
I.oewe’s musical fantasy, will
be directed by Sam Cope of
the College Music Department.
His wife, Claire, has made the
135 costumes for the presenta
tion, and it promises to be one
of the most elaborately costum
ed plays ever presented at Bre
vard College.
The musical concerns King
Arthur and the knights of the
round table and is set in me
dieval England. The show first
appeared on Broadway in 1960
from Charlottet N. C. As

Smith, a Liberal Arts major

celot.
The cast has been rehears
ing in costume for more than
a month. “The girls,” said Mrs.
Cope, “have to get used to
dancing in big hats and flow
ing gowns; so the more they
rehearse with them, the better
they’ll be able to do their
roles.”
The public is invited to at
tend the productions. Charges
will be $1.00 for adults and
50c for students.

New Constitution
Passes By 27-1 Ratio
The proposed student con
stitution was passed over
whelmingly last Wednesday
by a 27:1 ratio. The final count
showed a favorable approval
of 244 votes for and 9 against.
There was a note of di.sap-
pointment in this victory. On
ly forty-five percent of the
student body participated in
the campus wide voting. Even
fewer attended assembly to dis
cuss the new document.
The members of the consti
tution committee worked reg
ularly and laboriously during
the first and second semesters.
Their efforts totaled about
1000 hours of committee work.
The committee consisted of
Dave Chestnut, Lindsay Bur
bage, Bobby Kennedy; and
David Holcombe, a faculty ad
visor.
This new document is more
explicit than the former con
stitution and provides for a
means of enforcing its pro
provisions. The name of stud
ent government at Brevard will
now assume the name Student
Union and its offices are lo
cated in the Sims Student
Union Building.
This constitution was written
with much forethought and
consideration. The value of this
document can only be determin
ed after the participation of
the students is evaluated.
Legislature Will
Provide Bicycles
For Student Use
At the March 10th meeting
of the Student Legislature a
proposal was introduced con
cerning the possibility of bicy
cles on campus. The Legisla
ture appropriated $700 to initi
ate the program and organized
an ad hoc committee to or
ganize this program for the
students.
Nancy Watson was appoint
ed to head this committee.
Nancy is the present secretary-
treasurer of the freshman
class.
The bikes due to arrive this
weekend were purchased from
Higgins Bike Shop out of
Greensboro, North Carolina.
The purchase includes 5 five
speed Ibicycles, 5 ten speed,
and two tandom bikes.
The only problem remain
ing is where to store the bicy
cles. Some type of arrange
ment is in the making with the
school store, hopefully. There
will, of course, be a nominal
rental charge, but no prices
have been set.
The Legislature urges the
.students to treat these bicycles
with respect and care. The in
vestment was an expensive, but
a worthwhile one.
