THE CLARION THE VOICE Of BREVARD COLLEGE CAMPUS Brevard College, Brevard, N. C., January 28, 1972 Number 12 Allen Sims retires from Citizens National Bank By David Arledge “I can furnish the financial assistance, but it’s up to you, the students, to keep this col lege on the right track.” Thus spoke Allen H. Sims in response to a student thanking him for his support of Brevard College. This reply was typical of Mr, Sims, who for many years has quietly contributed to Brevard College with the stud ents’ welfare in mind. Allen Sims was bom at Franklin, N. C. on November 5, 1899, the son of the late Methodist minister, Allen Hampton Sims and his wife, Mary Robinson Sims. He at tended Shelby High School, and later graduated from Lawn dale High School in 1916. He attended King’s Business Col lege in Charlotte, from 1916- 1917, and after graduating from that institution, worked as bookeeper - secretary for Cra mer Mills of Cramerton. Then from 1918-1920, he at tended UNC where he was an outstanding athlete on the foot ball and baseball fields. On June 14, 1922 Mr. Sims married Miss Anne Rankin, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Albert R. Rankin, Sr. In February, 1920, he receiv ed an offer from Mr. A. G. Myers to work for the Citizens National Bank in Gastonia. He served this institution in ca pacities ranging from book keeper to Chairman of the Board during his 51 year ca reer which was culminated by Rev. Hutchinson to deliver messages on life of Christ of Meditation (Mat. 14:23) March 5 — The Mount of Transfiguration (Mat. 17:1-2) . ALLEN H. SIMS i.s seen on one of his many visits to Brevard. SUL gives $2,000 to bus fund The Student Union Legisla- rture met on Wednesday, Janu ary 19, at 6:30 to discuss refrig erators, the bus fund, the pub lic address system, the re- cyling program, and bag sup pers. Because of a lack of inter est, lack of storage space, and the price of rental, Brevard Col lege will not have refrigerators. However, it was suggested that the residents of each dorm dis cuss the possibility of install ing ice machines in their dorm. Fred Dean brought up a pro posal for the S.U.L. to donate $2,000 to the bus fund. This amount, added to previous con tributions, will bring the total to approximately $3,500. It is estimated that the fund will contain $5,000 at the end of the semester. Five thousand dollars is on ly one-third of the amount of the price of a new bus. The Trustees have agreed to help buy the bus provided that the students show adequate inter est in raising funds. The S.U.L. encourages all students to help m any way possible — not nec essarily by donating money, but 03^ supporting fund raising pro jects which will be held in the immediate future. Members of the Student Union Legislature voted to give thirty dollars to help pay for the public address system in Dunham Auditorium. Brevard College will soon begin a drive to collect clear cl-ean glass for recycling. It is hoped that the project will im prove the College’s relation ship with the community as well as contributing to the bus fund. More information will soon be published concerning the recycling project. Beginning soon, we will have bag suppers every other Sun day night in place of the regu lar meal. A series of messages based on pivotal moments in the life of Jesus Christ will be de livered by the Rev. Orion N. Hutchinson Jr., Special Lec turer in Religion at Brevard College. The life of Christ and its meaning for life today will be traced through a look at significant events in His life which took place in mountain settings. The theme of the series will be “With Christ in Mountaintop Experience.” The messages will be given on Sun day morning at 11AM as a part of the worship service of the First United Methodist Church, located across Broad Street from the campus. The topics and dates for the series are as follows: January 23 — The Mount of Temptation (Mat. 4:8) January 30 — The Mount of Decision (Lk. 6:12-13) February 6 — The Mount of Enlightenment (Mat. 5:1-2) February 13 — The Mount of Insight (John 4:21) February 20 — The Mount of Miracle (Lk. 8:35) February 27 — The Mount March 12 — The Mount of Preparation (Mat. 26:30) March 19 — The Mount of Betrayal (Mat. 26:45) April 2 — The Mount of Ma jesty (Mat. 28:16) April 9 — The Mount of Prediction (Mat. 24:3) Mr. Hutchinson, who has been related to Brevard Col lege since August, 1970, was Acting Chaplain for the first semester of last year.

Curfew for soph, women extended Music Department presents wide variety of music programs Several brief items of inter est have taken place in the music field recently. On Tuesday, January 18, Miss Irene Brychcin of the mu sic faculty presented an,^nfor- mal recital at 4:30 p. m. in Dunham Auditorium. Miss Bry chcin clarinetist was ac companied by Sam Cope at the piano. TTiis recital had been pre- sf^nted by Miss Brychcin at Western Carolina University the previous week.

The hours for sophomore women have now been extended until 2:00 a. m. on Saturday nights. This new system is be ing tried out on this year’s sophomore class to determine whether or not to continue it in future years. It is a good idea many think, and it should work out well if the opportun ity is not abused. It allows sophomore women who are not on any type of probation an extra hour of date time. This is especially beneficial for those who choose to go to Asheville in the evenings. This opportunity is valid for a girl until she comes in late one time. Then she must forfeit the privilege for the rest of the year. Slightly different sign- out procedures are used, too, in order to know exactly who is out This new system has met with the approval of almost all sophomores, as a number of them showed by using it this past weekend. On the night of Monday, January 24, several students attended an American Guild of Organists meeting at War ren Wilson College, The pro gram was presented by Schlyl- er Robinson of Waren Wilson and was based on his doctate dissertation: “The B-A-C-H Theme in German Keyboard Music”.
