4 THE CLARION OCTOBER 8, 1971 Davis holds open conference LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS (Continued From Page One) about his “concepts” course in Physical Education, asked why only one hour’s credit was given for a course which requires two class hours glus extra hours for studying each week. Dean Wade replied that all courses are related to a standard three- hour course, and that it had been decided that a student does one-third the work in P.E. that he does in a course such as English or Religion. When questioned about the rumor that “Only 50% of the sophomores returned to Bre vard this year,” President Da vis responded that this figure is inaccurate. Between 35% and 40% did not return, he said; out of 350 Freshmen tfiat reg istered for the 1970 fall semes ter,. 125 did not return. A large number of these people trans ferred to four-year colleges and universities, a few didn’t make jt acadeniitally, and others dropped out to work. Several people were asked not to re turn because of academic and/ or disciplinary reasons, but this number was minimal. A co-ed inquired why the rooms in Jones Dormitory were not painted as they were sup posed to have been. It was de cided that if one’s room is in dire need of painting, he should tell his dormitory director. He should not try to do it himself. When questioned about the bugs and rats which have been ravaging the halls and rooms of Jones Dorm, President Davis replied that he would lend his cat. In a more serious vein, he said that if anyone has this problem, he should report it to his dorm director and the sit uation will be remedied. When there is noise in the dorm, said President Davis, one should not be afraid to re port it. Better yet, he should ask the source (s) of the noise to quieten down. College stud ents should know how to be considerate of their neighbors. After 10:00 p.m. a minimal amount of noise should be ex pected. A male student asked what could be done about the park ing lot behind Taylor Dorm. Dr. Davis replied that the cost would not be much to grade the parking lot and that the situa tion would be looked into. He also stated that the long-range plan is for Taylor to be replac ed (not necessarily demolish ed), possibly within the next 3 or 4 years. A freshman music major was concerned over the fact that it is a long, dark path from the Methodist Churck where she practices back to the dorm. She requested that lights be in stalled along the way so that “the townies” wouldn’t get her. In reply to her complaint. Pres ident Davis said that the Trus tees had voted to renovate the basement of Dunham so that more practice rooms would be available and the walk to the church would not be necessary. Another student asked why meals couldn’t be bought on a meal-by-meal basis. She brought up the fact that when a stud ent goes home for the weekend he might miss up to seven meals. President Davis said that this had been considered in the overall price of meals, and that meals could not be served on a pay-as-you-eat basis because the cafeteria workers have to plan on a certain number of students to eat and the board plan is the more efficient plan. Someone else wondered why the menu couldn’t be changed every once in a while. It is be cause there ?xe so many stud ents eating in the cafeteria that there must be a basic meal plan to avoid confusion. Another complaint concerned the over crowdedness of the cafeteria. Fred Dean said that a Cafeteria Committee would be investigat ing this. They will also inves tigate the milk and ice cream sitiiation because many are com plaining that they are not get ting enough of these two things. A sophomore commented that the Sunday night meals have improved since last year. A girl from Jones reminded President Davis that the girls in her dorm were getting scald ed in the shower because of the poor plumbing. Dr. Davis said that this probably could not be remedied because the building is so old. Other problems con cerning water are the fire hy drant in front of Taylor which has been draining constantly since the first of school and the fact that the hot w'ater in Jones is dirty. The fire hydrant will be repaired at fall break, but Jones girls will continue to bathe in rusty water. A boy from Beam asked why campus phones could not be in stalled in both the East and West wings of his dori* be cause the parlor, where the campus phone is now located, is off-limits to students after closing hours. Hiis will be taken up with Mr. Hunt by the dor mitory directors in Beam. The dorm directors in Green and Taylor will also talk to Mr. Hunt to see if more phones can be installed ib these two buildings. President Davis Closed by saying that meetings like this will be held, hopefully, once a month. We are all striving for a better Brevard College, and we should all take pride in our school. We should help to keep the campus clean, and this will be made easier to do when plans of placing garbage cans around campus are fulfilled.

Dunham basement to be renovated At the recent meeting of the Board of Trustees, a major topic considered was the renovation of the basement of Dunham Music Building. It has been an nounced that all architectural preliminary drawings have been approved, and the trustees have instructed the architect to be gin the working drawings. The equipment priorities have not been approved; it is supposed that some equipment will be ap proved, howeveri at the next meeting of the Trustees in May. This equipment includes pi anos, organs, and audio-visual aids., and, although no renova tion will be necessary there, a major recital organ for Dunham Auditorium. At this time it is hoped that many pianos, or gans, and other high-cost equip ment will be donated by friends of the college. Included in the renovation W'ill be a large instrumental re hearsal hall, a classroom, a pi ano laboratory, a student lounge, an organ and small en semble practice room, eight teaching - practice studios, and several storage areas. This base ment section will greatly in crease the functionality of the Dunham Music Building by providing much needed studios, practice rooms, a small rehear sal hall, and a large rehearsal room.
