ETSU prints
are on display
in Coltrane
An exhibit of art work by
graduate and undergraduate
students of East Tennessee
State University at Johnson
City is now on exhibit at the
Coltrane Art Building. The
prints will be shown until
March 9.
All works are prints and the
exhibit as a whole shows a
variety of print-making tech
niques including silk screen,
etching, dry point, photogra
phic silk screen, lithography
and woodcut. In addition to
making an interesting exhibit,
the prints make a very good
teaching aid for the art depart
ment.
One interesting example is
the print in the center of the
east wall titled “Horison.” This
work was done with a plastic
engraving plate and dental tool.
“Breakfast of Champions”
(Wheaties!) demonstrates a
straight silk screen, as does the
work “Left Handed Game for
Right Handed Players,” one of
two in the exhibit by Brevard
art instructor, Robert Poe.
' Another interesting work is
the “Oatmeal” woodcut on the
west wall. In the exhibit are
several embossed works such as
“Adam and Evelyn” or “Any
thing Goes.”
Several more intriguing works
top this exhibit in a fine way.
For an interesting and educa
tional feast, see these prints.

On Tuesday, the eighth of
February, an expensive model
rocket crashed high atop Bosh-
amer Gymnasium. Its operator,
Ken DeBlieu, called it “an er
ror in trajectory.”
DeBlieu is a model rocket ex
pert; but he,^ unlike many oth
er young people, does not mere
ly play with rocketry. Ken is
conducting a private scientific
reasearch project. He has de
signed and built his own elec
trically ignited model rocket.
He has been experimenting
with rockets off and on since
he was 12 years old. Only after
these many years of experimen
tation is he qualified to take on
the complicated task of de
signing and building his own
rocket.
His rockets are not simple.
He is presently building a rock
et capable of carrying in its
nose cone such equipment as
sensors for measuring air tem
perature, acceleration rate of
spin, and even a microphone
and movie camera. The micro
phone will be used to send the
data as measured by the sen
sors back to the ground where
it will be received by a walkie-
talkie type receiver.
The rockets themselves are
made of balsa and paper tub
ing. They are powered by pre
packaged dry fuel rocket en
gines that vary in thrust pow
er. Ken’s present rocket is only
a single stage rocket but he
has flown two stage rockets and
plans to fly rockets with two
or more stages in the near fu
ture. Ken’s present rocket is
only about 2V2 feet tall, but
model rockets in general range
in height from several inches to
4V2 feet. Ken’s rocket has a
top speed of about 350 miles
per hour and top altitude of 1,-
500 plus feet. The rocket itself
is gently floated back to earth
by a brightly colored parachute.
little as three dollars, and as
much as several hundred dol
lars. The rockets can be built
from separate componets or can
be bought as kits. They are sold
at most hobby shops and even
places such as Western Auto in
Brevard.
Ken says that model rocketry
as a sport or hobby is on the
rise. The complicated and ex
citing nature of these rockets
makes them appealing to many
people of all ages. Rocketry
meets are springing up all over
the country and are thriving on
competition between individual
builders.
Ken says that the popularity
of model rocketry is rapidly
rising; but, nevertheless he has
found it difficult to start a
local model rocketry club at
Brevard.
Ken DeBlieu’s purpose is not
merely to have a “good time.”
He is deeply involved in his
private research. He wants to
find out as much as possible
in the area of aerodynamics
with his own equipment. This
endeavor is by no means petty
and is as respectable as it is
complicated and exciting.

along with some rights that
have been forgotten. An Ameri
can citizen at the age 18 has
freedom of speech, press, etc.
He also has the honorable privi
lege of registering himself for
the draft lottery. If by chance
one is chosen for military ser
vice he has the chance to kill
and be killed. Everyday people
are murdered in the streets
and homes of our cities. Shelter
ing people from reality is not
going to solve the problem.
When one who has been selter-
ed all his life meets a real sit
uation and his escape mechan
isms fail, he is doomed. In so

thus — not showing certain
movies on this campus will
not help or solve anything
’cause brother it’s still there and
always will be so let’s face it.

Dear Editor:
Let me first of all express to
The Clarion my appreciation
for the creation of an open
forum on the nature of a Chris
tian college. Most of the unrest
on the campus of Brevard Col
lege results from our common
failure — that of faculty staff,
and administration, as well as
students — to understand or to
articulate our understanding of
this important concept.
I would not claim to be able
to understand the idea fully
or to articulate it with perfect
clarity. I would like simply to
grope a bit towards a better
awareness of just what it is
that we are doing here togeth
er.
A Christian college is an aca
demic community, a coming to
gether of persons, in time and
in space, to share together the
pursuit of truth. Students must
be prepared to teach, and teach
ers to learn. All should be
united in a common conviction
that God is love, and that men
must love one another — and
the green earth that supports
them — or die.
Such a relationship demands
reciprocity. In a Christian col
lege, persons must talk to one
another, and they must listen.
They must be prepared to com-
promi.se; they must be willing
to admit that they have hold
of only a fragment of the seam
less garment of truth.
If Brevard College is a
Christian college, it is because
we recognize the communal
quality of our enterprise. If it
is not a Christian college, it
Early communion
begins Sunday
Beginning next Sunday and
continuing each Sunday through
the season of Lent until Palm
Sunday, March 26, there will be
an early Communion Service at
the First United Methodist
Church. This service will be
held on a come-and-go-at-will
basis from 9:10 to 9:30 AM in
the Chapel of the Church.
Worshipers may come for the
entire period which will begin
with Communion prayers or
come anytime during the per
iod. Officiating will be the Rev,
Orion N. Hutchinson, Jr.,
Special Lecturer in Religion at
the college, and organ music
will be provided by the Rev.
Nelson F. Adams, Chairman of
the college’s Fine Arts Division.
Studens are invited and urged
to take advantage of this Sun
day Communion experience. The
Chapel is on the left side of
the church building located
across the street from the front
of the campus.
SUL votes
on test fees
The Student Union Legisla
ture met on Wednesday, Feb
ruary 9, to discuss cafeteria
hours, the bus fund, parking
tickets, and test fees.
The cafeteria is being kept
open until 8:45 Monday through
Friday on a trial basis. Stud
ents are reminded that to keep
this priviledge, they must help
keep the cafeteria clean.
To raise money for the bus
fund, Brevard may sponsor the
Eastern Collegiate Coast Frog-
Jumping Contest. By sending
ads to other schools, Brevard
could raise money for the bus
fund. A committee has been
organized to look into this.
Jake will be giving parking
tickets for parking behind
Jones and for parking illegally
beside Jones.
The S.U.L. voted on a pro
posal that the $5.00 fee for tak
ing tests earlier or later than
scheduled should be abolished.
It passed, and will be brought
up at a meeting of the Admin-
isration.
