Sbitonal Jpag? PAGE TWO THE CLARION APRIL 16, 1971 Help Keep Sunbathing Rules Spring Green Appear Archaic c “ci-,Tiincj” at ■Rrp- Spring Sports Program Needs Better Support Now that it’s mid April, spring weather has taken a firm grip upon the land, as anyone, taking the time, to notice his rapidly changing surroundings, has noticed. Of course, springtime means that spring sports are underway here at Brevard College. Not baseball, unlike many parts of the U.S. but sports like track, golf, and tennis are in progress this month. These teams started working hard for their short, often unnoticed seasons long before the weath er was as nice as it is now. Now only a month re mains until the school year ends, and_ the spring s:ports have, as usual, gone largely unnoticed thus far in their new seasons. However, despite a general lack of student interest, Brevard’s teams have repre>- sented the College well. i The Golf Team is defeating opponents con sistently in an impressive manner, thanks to fine ef forts by Tiger Jordan, Don Dickey, Jimmie Martin, Jim Webb, Tommy Carpenter, Mark Repokis, David Holmes, and Marvin Davis. Congratulations, on what has been a fine year for the team and Coach Hardin, are due, as well as good luck for the remain der of the season. We should try to be at Etowah Gold Club on the 26th and 27th to support the team in the Conference Tournament, or in one of the up coming regular conference matches, to recognize the job these young men have done in representing us. Also due for a like amount of recognition is the Brevard Track Team, which will once again rep resent the College in the Nationals; this time in Mesa, Arizona, just after the close of the academic year in mid May. Coach Norm Witek has done another fine jo'b in leading his talented roadrunners through another season. So as the year closes, let s keep in mind what our spring s'ports program means. Camelot Production The Fine Arts Division of Brevard College is now presenting £jerner and Loewe’s musical fan"^sy, Camelot, in Dunham Auditorium. The first perfor mance was held last night, and the production will continue tonight and tomorrow night. We heartily recommend that each and every member of the col lege community see this production if at all possible. The entire contingent, consisting of cast, crew, and directors, deserve warm congratulation for the seemingly endless work they have done during^ the past months in preparation. Anyone who> is involv ed or who knows someone that is, knows that night after night, the members of the cast have been hard at work to make Camelot a truly magnificient pro duction. , , 1 i.- As anyone who saw last year s production oi Brigadoon by the department can attest, the results are well worth the painstaking effort. The ^ow should be a memorable exiperience for all who attend once again this year. Spring has “sprung” at Bre vard and in fine fashion. As in the past, students are basking in the sun and soaking up the rays. But have you ever thought about how pretty spring really is? Or maybe what it offers? Students journey to the mountains for picnics, parties, hikes, and the like. This is an excellent environment for these endeavors, but journey up to the first cables one af ternoon and look at the re mains of the last party. These mountains were put here for us all to enjoy, and a little common courtesy keeps them enjoyable for us all. CARE Requests Contributions May 9 is Mother’s Day, a day when millions of students will follow the American tradition of giving Mom something spec ial. May 9 is also a day in which' half of the world’s population will go to bed hungry. A day’ in which half of the 200 human beings born each minute are’ destined to die before age one. It’s a day, too, when Ameri can students can pay tribute tO) their mothers in unique form. Bee H. Brown, Atlanta Region al Director of CARE, says that his organization has a gift plan through which students can give tfieir mothers something special on May 9 and, at the same time help the world s needy. The plan: simply make a contribution of one dollar or more to CARE in the name of yonr mother. Your mother will then receive a special Mother’s Day card notifying her that needy peo ple overseas have been aided by you in her name. BY DENNIS AVERY The memorandum from the office of Dean Robert G. Ferree III on the topic of sunbathing on the Brevard College camp us was met with a very unfav orable reaction from many B. C. students. Since the Clarion is the voice of the students of Brevard College, we feel that something must be done. The memorandum specifical ly sets aside certain designat ed areas where men will sun bathe and areas where women will sunbathe. In other words no co-ed sunbathing. The areas set aside by the administration are suitable, and it is an understandable pro cedure to limit sunbathing to various parts of the campus. The memorandum refers to Brevard College students as men and women and yet we are not treated like men and women. The student is expected to tackle his responsibilities head on and be mature enough to think for himself, yet, he is not considered mature enough to sunbathe in an unsecluded area with a member of the op posite sex. The relationship between the students and the Administra tion of Brevard College can on ly survive if it is based on mu tual trust and respect. The is suance of the sunbathing rules has weakened this relationship. The memorandum also states that women should cover their bathing suits with a robe, to and from the sunbathing area. Either this is a joke, or it is just another example of the puritannical conscience and outmoded beliefs of Brevard College. A solution to the evident dis agreement between students and Administration about the subject of sunbathing is simply arrived at. The designated areas for sunbathing are acceptable ,but co-ed bathing should be al lowed. The ruling about the robes is too ridiculous to dis cuss. Bob Poe Of Art Dept. Has Exhibit On Display Bob Poe of Brevard’s Art Department, has a painting on display in the Asheville Mu- seum^ chosen for the 33rd An nual Artist Exhibit. The pur pose of the exhibit is to raise ■the representation of modern art to the same level and at tention that is given to the, old masters. All art expresses ideas about the meaning of life through the individual artist’s experience. Modern art is not clearly being grasped for all it hB^ to offer. Mr. Poe and the other artists participating in the exhibition are offering more depth and creativity to the modem art viewer. Both of Mr. Poe’s art crea tions are acrylic. One of his paintings, Allnoon, was also se lected for the Traveling Ex hibition. TWs. exhibit is sche duled to tour North Carolina between February 2 and De cember 23v 1971. Since' coming to Brevard, Mr. Poe has not only added to the expressive ability of the art students he instructs, but has also won other honors. In 1970 he received 1st prize at the Virginia Highlands Art Fes tival. In May of ’70 he and Mr. Murray displayed a two-man show at the Asheville Museum. In November, Mr. Poe will exhibit a variety of his work in a one man show at the Car roll Reece Museum, Johnson Xity,. Tenn.

For example, money con tributed to last year’s honoring of American mothers helps support mother and preschool feeding programs in Colombia. CARE feeds 132,585 mothers and preschool children each day in Colombia — a land where the total income of many, many families is less than $200 per year. The preschoolers are part of 900,000 children re ceiving CARE food in Colbm- bia. LasL yea»’’s Mother’s Duy funds also \ ere used ’ : Ecua dor. Here some 300,000 school ehillren eagerly drink the CARE milk so vital to their meager diets. About 290,000 of them also are fed a highly nu tritious bread made of wheat flour and vegetable oil. Anoth er 55,000 preschool children al so are fed by CARE. May 9 is Mother’s Day, a day on which you can both “do your own thing” and “do a world of good.” Students should be sure to include their mother’s name and address with all contribu tions. PICTURES Annual pictures will be sold in the workroom in the Stud ent Union from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. the 19th — 21st, UTLOOK s, mu DJJ EDITOR For those students who have not as yet lined up jobs for the rapidly ap^proaching summer, _ this is a reminder to do so as soon as possible. This is es pecially important since recent reports have been quite emphati'j with the statement that this years summer job market for young people is going to be the slimmest in many years. While the number of young people seeking summer employment grows by lea'ps and bounds each year, the amount of available jobs has been clining. This has been particularly noticeable in the past few summers, and 1971 is predicted as the worst year yet. Due to the economic situation, businesses are expecting a mediocre summer, and therefore will not be able to hire as many young people for the sum mer as in the past. Not only this, but layoffs of reg ular workers have been so heavy that some of these are forced to take jobs usually open to youth during the summer months. Examples of dishwashers witn PHD’s have been surprisingly frequent. This distressing situation, therefore, _ that most students can expect to have considerable difficulty finding jobs this summer. And many will fail, evein some who start early. AH of which ineans. good luck, and hurry!
