Page Four THE CLARION September 8, 1972 Cross Country Team Now Working If you were to talk to Coach Witek about the cross country team, he would probably start telling you about “the science of running.” Witek says, there’s more to running than to run just to get into shape; and he should know what he’s talking about. Witek went to the Uni versity of Tennessee where he ran track for four years. Witek ran on the two mile and mile relay. Brevard has been fortun ate in getting Witek to coach here for the last four years. Ev ery year that Witek has been here the team has won the conference and regional cham pionships. Since their first practice on Aug. 29th, the seven young men have worked hard towards their first meet; which is a road race at Cove Cave on Sept. 17th. The first home meet, which will be the week of Homecoming, will be against Wingate on Oct. 7th. Of the seven men on the team, five have placed in the top 15 in their state meet. The team consists of Bill Blatz from Raleigh, Mike Bailey from Greensboro, Keith Ferguson from Cocoa Beach, Wayne Fos ter from Asheville, Gene He- hemann from Louisville, Lee Henderson from Charlotte, and Robert Patterson from Florida. According to Coach Witek, Mike Bailey and Wayne Foster will in all probability be run ning for the top position. Bail ey finished 14th in the state cross country meet and has a fine two mile time. Foster fin ished a respectable 8th in the state cross country meet. With only two sophomores returning, the team will lack the all important experience which is so vital in a junior college. The team is planning to enter all the “big” meets it can in order to prepare for the nationals. If any injuries in the top five occur, Lee Henderson who lacks experience in the distance run, would have to fill in. While you’re sleeping through breakfast these fine young men are running 10 to 12 miles. Let’s have pride and re spect and back the team in what ever they attempt. Go Speed Demons, Go! Soccer Outlook Hopeful With the opening of school, soccer is not far behind. Prac tice and training have already started for this year’s team un der the new coaches, Mr. David Campbell and Mr. Ralph Lundy, a Brevard graduate. Although the new team is led by new coaches, both have much experi ence to back them up. Ralph Lundy played soccer his four years in college and was voted to the all - region team while at Brevard and all - conference team at Western Carolina Uni versity. The team has much ex perience also as most of the players participated either in high school or abroad. A new comer from Jordan has played soccer all of his life and Lee Walp spent his summer play ing soccer in the British Isles. Coach Campbell commented. “Along with the nine returning sophomores these boys should do a lot to help out the team because of their experience.” Mr. Campbell is well pleased with the turnout of thirty boys and the way practice has been going. The team has been work ing on individual skills and con ditioning. Although the general condition of the boys is not very good so far, Coach Campbell says, “With as many experienc ed players as we have, our depth will be great. This will make the team strong and make up for part of the poor condition the boys are in. Coaches Campbell and Lundy feel that they will have the team ready for a good season which opens September 23 with the University of North Carolina at Asheville. m David Campbell Heads intramurals The men’s intramural pro gram has undergone a few changes this year. There won’t be as many teams this year be cause each dorm is limited to two teams. One reason for this is to eliminate some of the many forfeits. One team will be label ed as the “Blue” team and the other as the “White” team. The Blue team will be the highly skilled players and the others will play on the White team. Coach David Campbell will serve as the Intramural Direc tor with Coach Larry Burch as sisting him. Fall events will in clude a cross country run, flag football, soccer, and volleyball. The summer and spring events will begin with basketball, then lllltltlltlMIMIIIIIIIIIMilllllllllllllMlt'iillilllllliltltll.

There will be a number of individual activities with the points won in these added to the different dorm totals. The Day Students will be paired with the faculty in over-all point total. Trophies will be given in all team and individual sports. There is a rumor going around that the teachers are ready for action, but there is also a “fact” floating around that the stud ents are ready to give the ac tion. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Coach Larry Burch Burch To Hold Conference Post Larry Burch, head basket ball coach at Brevard College, has recently been named President of the Western Carolina Junior College Con ference. The eight-member athletic conference consists of two-year private colleges in North and South Carolina. Labelled as one of the most competitive all-sports confer ences in the country, with its athletes, not only transferring to enhance senior college pro grams, but many have been accepted into the profes sional ranks. “In the past several years the caliber of players and play has improved tremendously. Very few conferences can compare with the national recognition our teams and individuals have received in cross-country, foot ball, basketball, soccer, tennis, golf and baseball. I am proud to be associated and serve in this new capacity, especially with excellent coaches and teams we have in the league,” commented Coach Burch. the heart is a lonely hunter to be shown in Dunham tonight at 8:00 Movie Of The Week Some of the strangest dialogue an actor ever had to learn fell to Alan Arkin while starring in Warner Bros. “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter,” to be shown in Dunham Auditorium tonight at 8:00 p. m. Arkin, a master of articulate dialogue who won an Academy Award nomination for his first motion picture, “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,” portrays a deaf-mute and had to become letter - per fect in the sign language of the deaf. To get the hand signals, ar kin read books and studied films on the subject. He also took lessons in sign language and lip reading from a blind acquain tance. In his piognant role as the deaf-mute, John Singer, Arkin brings warmth and friendship into the lives of lonely people in a small town. Among them is Mick Kelly, a 14-year old girl played by newcomer Sondra Locke, who made her profes sional acting debut after win ning the role in a national tal ent search. Co-starring in the distinguish ed screen version of Carson Mc- Cullers’ celebrated novel are Laurinda Barrett, Stacy Keach, Jr., Chuck McCann, Biff Mc Guire, Percy Rodriguez and Cicely Tyson. Kappa Chi Seeks New Members Kappa' Chi, the coeducational preministerial fraternity on campus met Tuesday night, August 28 at 5:30 in the cafe teria. The main objective of the meeting was to evaluate the in terest in the fraternity, to seek membership, and to discuss the revision of the local constitu tion. Any person who is inter ested in Kappa Chi should meet with the members of the fra ternity on Tuesday night Sept. 12 at 5:30 in the cafeteria. If this meeting cannot be attended please contact Mr. Roy. Some of the functions of the fraternity are as follows: to en courage “fellowship” among its members while they prepare for a common task, to encourage young people to fulfill their am bitions through Christ, and to exalt the Christian ministry. The word “fellowship” is vital to the organization of Kappa Chi. Kappa Chi actually began as a fellowship. A professor and his students found they got something from meeting, talk ing,, praying, and planning to gether. Soon they felt the need of defining their purposes in setting up a way of achieveing them. In its beginning it was known as the Clerical Club. The club underwent several name changes before finally being named the Double Alpha Club. Through the dedication of Professor Howard F. Legg the organization of Kappa Chi was formed. Soon after its formula tion ,those chapters of Double Alpha which were still remain ing were reorganized as Chap ters of Kappa Chi. Many colleges formulated chapters of Kappa Chi during this time. Others reorganized their pre-theologi- cal groups into Chapters of Kap pa Chi. Among these colleges were Lenoir-Rhyne and Brevard College. AUSTINS ART SHOP RECORDS a TAPES AT DISCOUNT PRICES Statistics Given On School Opening With a solid group of sopho mores returning, and a fine class of freshmen coming to Brevard for the first time, we have the ingredients for a crea tive year in which many posi tive accomplishments can be realized. The opening of the 1972-73 academic year is accompanied by the registration of some few er students than in preceeding years; namely 434 full - time students, 14 part-time students, and approximately 50 special students. The congregation of students comes from seventeen states, plus the District of Co lumbia, and five foreign coun tries — yet approximately 62% of the students are native North Carolinians. The upset in Brevard came not only with the smaller regis tration, but also with the di vision of the male and female students. Usually the percent age is pretty even but this year it is 41% women and 59% men. Girls, the odds are defi nitely in your favor. It is the aim of Brevard Col lege to provide each student with the resources for a quali ty educational experience. W« expect a good year ahead that will be characterized by serious ness of purpose and academic excellence.
