BC to supply
tutors for
Swannanoa, N. C.
Brevard College has been ask
ed to supply a particularly re
sponsible group of tutors for
a particularly critical group of
tutees. The Youth Services Cen
ter, Swannanoa, N. C., has
made this request.
The Youth Services Center,
Swannanoa, was established in
November, 1970 to help meet
the growing need for preven
tion of delinquency. The pro
ject originated in the Depart
ment of Juvenile Corrections
and was funded by Law En
forcement Assistance Adminis
tration. The main thrust of this
project is in accepting refer
rals from any concerned per
son or agency in the region of
western North Carolina which
Speakers announced for
spring Convocations
‘‘Ribbon” to
entertain
tonight
Social Board is sponsoring
a coffeehouse tonight, at 9:30
p. m., after the recital in Dun
ham Auditorium. It is planned
that the coffeehouse will be
held in the ping pong room in
the Student Union Building.
The night’s entertainment
consists of a folk group from
Bat Cave, N. C. The group.
“Ribbon”, made up of two
Sirl guitarists who sometimes
■write their own music, and a
bass accompaniment, previous
ly auditioned for Social Board.
The “Ribbon” sing- both folk
and rock music.
Laurie Kidd, in charge of the
coffeehouse, says “the group
especially likes touring small
college campuses because they
^ke the closeness of associat
ing with the kids.”
The admission to the enter-
teinment is free and everyone
IS encouraged to attend.
This semester a number of
good speakers have been chos
en to present the programs
for the 1972 Spring Convoca
tions. Ed Kilbourne is to be
the guest for the February 23
Convocation. A talented sing
er, he speaks through songs
and blends rock ballads with
contemporary folk songs. His
commentary is interjected into
this medium. In the past sev
eral years, Ed has appeared in
all the leading cities and num
erous smaller towns through
out America. He has also re
corded several LP albums and
is in wide demand as a per
former. He appeals to people of
all ages, and particularly col
lege students.
For March 6 Reverend Thom
as Stockton has been asked to
it serves. These referrals are
youths who have been determin
ed to have problems, have not
yet been committed to the Ju
venile Correct on system, but
have been brought to the at
tention of people who work
with juveniles. Thei staff of
the center then processed with
a systematic, diagnostic evalua
tion of the situation.
In the course of helping
these referrals a definite need
for tutoring outside the public
school structure has been iden
tified as a way to increase the
learning possibilities. As the
learning possibilities increase
there is good evidence that the
drift toward delinquency de
clines.
Time patience, and attention
are key words in working with
youth of this nature. College
students are closet to the edu
cational process and know some
of the problems of public
school in terms of too little
time and help for slower stud
ents. They are also sensitive to
and aware of the problems of
adolescence.
If you would like to be train
ed for this type of demanding
tutoring, please contact Mr.
Tawney who will forward your
name to Youth Services Center.
return and present the address
for Encounter Week, an an
nual event sponsored by, Chris
tian Council. Many students may
recall the interesting talk he
delivered earlier this year. He
presently is minister at Cen
tral Methodist Church in Ashe
ville, North Carolina. Mr, Stock
ton will deliver three lectures
during the week on a subject
to be announced at a later date.

the speaker for the Convoca
tion on April 5. An alumnus
Brevard College, he is present
ly Bishop of the Northern Euro
pean area of the United Metho
dist Church. His headquarters
is in Stockholm, Sweden.
What is a
Christian College?
Brevard College is owned
and operated by the United
Methodist Church. There are
some every distinct differences
betw'een a state and church
school. Possibly some indi
viduals on this campus wonder
what is unique about a church
school.
For this reason, anyone on
campus is invited to submit to
the Clarion ideas on the follow
ing questions:
1) What is' a Cliirstian col
lege?
2) What makes Brevard a
Christian college?
3) What purpose snould a
Christian college serve
in our society?
These ideas are to be turned
in by Tuesday, February 8, to
Mr. Hugh Moran, Mike Jones,
or Dennis Brown. They will be
printed in the Clarion on Feb
ruary 11. Man-on-the-street in
terviews will also be conducted.
A panel discussion will be
held on these same ideas follow
ing the February 11 issue of the
Clarion. Members of the Ad
ministration, faculty, and stud-'
ent body will be invited to par
ticipate. The date of the panel
discussion will be announced.
The Brevard College Music
Department will present a for
mal sophomore recital on Fri
day evening, February 4th at
8 p. m. in the Dunham Music

lege campus.

Hindu speaks
to clashes
Mr. Vasant D. Chapnerkar
pulled two gods from the mi-
nilla envelope. One was an ele
phant’s head with a human
body, the god of strength. The
other was a man with a flute,
Krishna — one of Hinduism’s
primary gods. Mr. Chapnerkar,
a native Indian, spoke about
such idols and other spects of
his religion, Hinduism, to Mr.
L. H. Lawing’s World Religions
classes here Tuesday and
Thursday mornings.
He went on to explain that
fie gods worshiped in Hindu
ism were at one time mortal
people, who, through reincarna
tion- had come into oneness
with God. Reincarnation is the
concept of one’s soul return
to earth in another body. What
kind of body one is reborn into
is determined by the good or
evil deeds he has done in his
present life.
Hinduism cannot be classi
fied just as a religion for it is
actually a way of life. Each
home has its own temple and
gods are worshipped daily, not
just once a week. Castes are
distinct hereditary social class
es, each of which formerly was
not allow’ed to associate with
others. Mr. Chapnerkar said
that strict caste distinction is
no longer practiced.
With fourteen languasos
spoken in Ipdia, Hinduism has
absorbed vast minor chances
an,d may vary from repioi to
region. If the way of life
changes, the religion c’nnges,
making Hinduism one of the
world’s most liberal r.nd adap
table religions,

Bus fund
reaches
$3500.00
The Brevard College Bus
Fund, started by two BC stud
ents, Cathy Schilling and Fred
Dean, recently overshot the
$3500.00 mark. This is a far
cry from the $15,000 needed for
puchasing a new 30 passenger
bus.
The money was donated by
interested and concerned par
ents, dormitories, and a large
donation of $2,000.00 was re
ceived from the Student Union
Legislature.
To help in raising more funds,
the Brevard CoUege Recycling
Program will hopefully get into
full swing on Feb. 26, but wiU
depend entirely on student help.
The current plan calls for a
house to house drive in the
town of Brevard. To accomp
lish this, students are needed.
Also, it is planned that stud
ents will be needed to over
look a drop off point probably
in a shopping center in , the
community for those people
that would rather drop off
their glass and paper than wait
for a student to come by their
home.
If only a few students volun
teer, the whole program will
have to be dropped. This is an
important project not only for
the bus fund but also to
strengthen ties between the
colege and the community. For
those students interested in
helping please contact Cathy
Schilling or Fred Dean.
NOTICE
A proposal is being made by
the Student Union Legislature
so that the cafeteria might re
main open until 8:45 a. m. Mon
day through Friday.
In order to keep this privi
lege, students must show that
they respect it by putting up
their trays, and by keeping the
tables and floor as clean as
possible.
