President Davis the* opened the discussion by reminding everyone that Brevard College is owned and operated by t^ie United Meithodist Church and that this factor plays an import ant part in many jwlicies. The first question was raised by a student who wanted to know why the enrollment had dropped this year. President Davis admitted that enrollMent is down, partty because of pres sure by four - year schools that encourage freshmea to trans fer and because of poor re cruiting by the admissions of fice. Dean Wade then said that recruiting this year would be more diversified as a result of the addition of a new staff mem ber in toat office. The conversation ne:^ turned to student housing. The major topic of this discussion was Taylor Hall.
