Brevard College Receives New Bus

NEW BREVARD COLLEGE BUS,, obtained through student
efforts and donations, pictures above in front of Student Union.
Direct Transfer Program Revealed
The students of Brevard Col
lege have a new bus on camp
us. The bus is the result of a
long struggle led by the stud»
ents themselves in search for a
safer and better means of trans
portation. There was a great
need for the bus; the students,
realizing this, took on the job
of acquiring it and paying for it.
For The New Bus
The acquiring of the new bus
•was a long hard struggle. The
funds for raising the bus came
from many different sources.
The students had paper drives
and bottle collectings. Dona
tions were gladly welcomed,
and many were received. One
man who has a summer home
in Balsam Grove gave $500 dol
lars. He told the students to
clean up a five mile stretch
from Balsam Grove into Ros-
man. Many of the students par
ents gave donations and some
of the students themselves gave
some. The students also ran an
ad in the Asheville newspaper
asking people to bring glass
and paper to the campus. The
students had many truck loads
of paper and glass which they
took to Asheville to be recycl
ed. The Basement of Taylor
Hall is still full of paper for
this. The students also had
bake sales and a benefit bridge
game. They worked all during
the second semester for their
goal.
Reason For The Bus

going down the road, the car
in the rear of the caravan had
to stop for some gas. Well, the
other three cars after about
five minutes realized that the
fourth car was no longer behind
them. The first three cars then
pulled off the road and waited
at a gas station. About two min
utes later the car that was in
the rear went by the station.
The other cars then pulled back
ot on the highway and resumed
the caravan. About five minutes
down the road, the cars then
pulled over and stopped where
the wreck had occurred. The
car that was in the rear when
they started on the trip, had
run off the road and flipped ov
er and was lying on its top. The
young men in the other cars
then rescued the four that
were trapped and seriously in
jured in the wrecked car.” The
injured young men were then
taken to the hospital while the
others returned home. Coach
Moran and his wife stayed there
with the injured boys until they
were released from the hospital.
The Bus Itself
The bus is a new model which
has some special features. There
are reclining seats and a spec
ial spring system. The bus has
already been used twice this
year, for a trip to Sliding Rock
and to Cherokee. It will be used
mainly to carry the soccer team
an basketball teams. There will
be times though when students
themselves may take it on trips.
During pledge week the Del-
phians are planning on washing
and waxing it.
The students of Brevard have
once again worked hard for
something and achieved it.
