1976 College Emergency Aid
(March 2, 1976 Scholarship Day
Editorial
Used And Abused
BY DEBI SHELTON
It is wise for us to remember than when a
privilege is abused it tends to be removed. Students
of Brevard are fortunate to be in a vicinity of clear
mountain streams, fresh air, and, for the most part,
unaltered ancient beauty. We are also fortunate to
have the privilege of seeking out Pisgah Forest as a
refuge from the monotonous “hum-drum” college
routine.
Indeed, it is more than a privilege that the
students are allowed to be themselves in the Forest
and to take advantage of its peaceful solitude to
“party.” Fortunately, the Forest Rangers un
derstand the students’ need to feel free from certain
pressures and do not interfere with our “Forest
Parties.” For this we can be quite grateful.
It is extremely sad, though, that the Forest must
suffer in the consequences of our release. All too
often, aluminum cans and bottles, not to mention all
other types of trash, are carelessly tossed aside
during the course of an evening. This trash detracts
horribly from the natural beauty of the Forest.It
would be quite a shame if we lost our privilege in
the Forest simply because we are too irresponsible
to clean up after ourselves.
Please, keep this in mind and carry a paper bag
for your trash. Do not leave it to rust or for some
concerned environmentalist to come along and
clean up for you.
Pisgah Forest belongs to everyone, and certain
few people do not have the right to destroy the
beauty and serenity it offers.

Brevard College Scholarship
Day 1976 brought 82 hopeful high
school seniors from six states to
the Brevard campus last
weekend to compete for $7000 in
scholarship awards. Included
is Sandra Ann Montieth from
Brevard High School. She is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
Montieth of Brevard. Sandra’s
brother Timothy Lee Montieth is
a sophomore this year at Brevard
College.
Participation was up eighteen
percent this year in the third
annual running of the Scholarship
Day event. An open invitation to
all high school seniors with a “B”
or better grade average brought
students from both Carolinas,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and
Indiana.
Those who arrived on campus
Friday evening were guests of
the College at Dunham
Auditorium to hear the lecture by
Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon.
Saturday, from right after break
fast until mid-afternoon, the
candidates were busied with tests
and personal interviews with
faculty members. They did take
time out for lunch in the college
cafeteria where during the meal,
they heard more about the
College from President Robert A.
Davis and members of his staff.
The winners will be announced
in about two weeks. Awards this
year will include two $1000 and
several $500 tuition scholarships
for the 1976-77 school year at
Brevard College.
S.U.L. News
I
The Brevard College S.U.L.
met February 11 and discussed
several matters of general in
terest to the students.
The new S. U. L. members
were welcomed by Danny Arm
strong. Lately, students have had
complaints about the food in the
cafeteria. The S. U. L. food
committee met with Mrs. Cox
and Mr. Hunt. Some im
provements have been made.
During the S.U.L. meeting held
on February 18, the S.U.L.
proposed that the fee for guests in
the dorms be dropped to $1.00
without student linen and to $2.00
with school linen. Also, in this
proposal there will be no charge
for one’s immediate family;
however, failure to register a
guest will result in a $15.00 fine.
This proposal has gone to the
administration for approval.
Mrs. Monroe has proposed that
the S.U.L. sponsor a drive for the
heart fund this spring. The date is
yet to be decided.
To Guatemala
Earthquake Victims
ATLANTA — In response to an urgent request
from the Guatemalan Government telephoned from
Guatemala City by William Salas, CARE Country
Director there, the International Aid Agency is
flying medical supplies, blankets and other
emergency assistance to the helpless victims.
An initial shipment already arrived from the U.S.
includes 150,000 tetracycline capsules, 75,000
penicillin tablets, 2,500 vials of penicillin for in
jections, and enough tetnus toxoid for 1,250 im
munizations.
In nearby Honduras, CARE’s staff has purchased
5,000 blankets, which have been flown to Guatemala
City by the Honduran Air Force.
CARE, which has on-going child feeding, medical,
agricultural, and other self-help programs in
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and other Latin
American Countires, was on the spot and able to
swing into immediate emergency action. Food
commodities stockpiled by CARE for child feeding
in Guatemala and neighboring countires are
available as needed to be rushed in and distributed
to the hungry.
The President of Guatemala appointed his
brother. Dr. Hans Laugerud as his personal liaison
with CARE in organizing food distribution and other
assistance. Dr. Laugerud and Mr. Salas made an
aerial survey of the worst-affected areas outside
Guatemala City. These include such towns as:
Chimaltenango, Tactic, Salama, El Progresso,
Rabinal, Zacapa, Patzicih and Joyabaj, some of
which are almost totally destroyed. CARE overseas
and local staff have already flown or driven into
these areas to set up emergency feeding and
assistance.
The U. S. Ambassador has instructed the Peace
Corps in Guatemala to make available all the
volunteers CARE can use to speed help to the vic
tims. CARE staff members in nearby countries will
also be rushed in if necessary.
With thousands dead, several times that injured
and at least 100,000 homeless in Guatemala City
alone, CARE’s Executive Director, Frank L. Goffio,
today issued an urgent appeal for funds to continue
CARE emergency aid to the quake victims and for
crucial rehabilitation and reconstruction as soon as
possible. Contributions may be sent to CARE
Guatemala Earthquake Fund, 2581 Piedmong Road,
N.E, Room 23-A, Atlanta, Georgia 30324.
