Tuesday,September 19,1978 THE CLARION Pages Resident Tutors: Improve Dorm Life The average, small town junior college is unmistakably known [or its unique closeness and totality of purpose. Brevard College is no exception. The student body here is virtually one _ a whole, as a large community or neighborhood of yesteryear would have existed where everyone knows everyone and understands each other’s wants and desires. But some people would still argue that Brevard just does not have the necessary facilities that many of the other colleges or universities have. That problem, it appears, was solved this academic year. One of these fortunate changes at BC is the addition of the Resident Tutors. The Tutor lives within the dormitory to serve a double purpose: helping the student who may be having trouble in a certain academic area, and keeping order throughout the residence hall. Randy Jackson is the tutor for West Beam dormitory. A com- mendably outspoken man, Mr. Jackson comes from Clemson University and believes that a dorm is “not a motel;” and just as you would not ransack your own home, nor should you treat the dormitory room as a prison cell. In Mr. Jackson’s opinion, the students of Brevard College should have a place in the city to entertain themselves as opposed to going to Asheville. Fur thermore, the economy of the town of Brevard would probably improve if such a recreation center could be founded, he said. Jane Love is the new resident tutor in English at Jones Dor- ■nitory. She is looking forward to a very rewarding year, not only for herself but for the dorm’s residents as well. Ms. Love comes to us from Louisburg College where she has done a great deal of dorm work. “I would like for the girls here to think of me as a person,” Ms. Love says. She also states that she loves to help and com- municate with people, and hopes 0 set a good example. Ms. Love H'akes it quite clear that she is ere to enforce the rules. She elieves Jones Dormitory can be ® best dorm on campus if residents work as one. She also slieves if each resident does her Psrt in obeying the rules and considerate of others, academics will benefit. Ms. Love very concerned about the "appiness of the dorm’s J'ssidente. She says that she ®uld like to have things of in- firest going on throughout the and she hopes to survey ^ftain student interest. When asked who was mainly responsible for the im provements made in Jones Dormitory, Ms. Love said that Anna Belle Jone’s (whom the dorm was named after) daughter, Mrs. Franklin Brown, was mainly responsible for the improvements made this year. Ms. Love hopes that these im provements will make the dorm’s residents take a special pride in where they live. Carolyn Johnson is the new resident tutor in East Beam. A Greensboro native, she attended West Guilford High School and later entered UNCS-Raleigh, where she graduated earlier this year. A math education major, Carolyn teaches Math 100 courses and offers math assistance to the girl residents of Beam. Carolyn says she loves it here and is looking forward to her stay at Brevard. The resident tutor of Taylor Hall this year is Claude Stulting. Mr. Stulting’s new challenge is that of an English tutor and religion teacher. Mr, Stulting comes to Brevard as a Duke University Divinity School graduate and a graduate of the University of Virginia, where he majored in religion. As a newcomer, Mr. Stulting said, “I am very much im pressed, not only with the location and environment, but with the school itself. I have been put at ease by the amiabiUty of the students.” As far as being dorm tutor and director of Taylor Hall, Mr. Stulting had this to say, “It’s hectic and you soon realize your life isn’t your own, but the beasts at Taylor Hal! haven’t really come out of the woodwork yet! m - ■■■ Fonzie look-alike moves in at Brevard Orientation Equals Snafu By Debi Crane On Sunday, August 27th, we arrived as bright, sunnyfaced freshmen at Brevard College. After the customary greeting of the new students by members of the faculty, we got down to the important business of unpacking, arranging, and rearranging. Amid groans of, “Oh my God, I left my tennis shoes in Florida,” and “I don’t think I’m going to like this bathroom, it’s built for pygmies,” the freshmen began to bring order to their lives. Sunday was a day filled with getting to know (and hopefully) to like your neighbors. It was a day when you found out that your roommate likes Steve Miller too, and it was the day when you found out that you were going to have to learn to like chicken caseroles or else. At Sunday night’s ice cream social, Monday and Wednesday’s movies, and Tuesday’s disco many new friendships were formed. By Monday night couples were already strolling hand in hand under the weeping willows and the first broken-hearted ones were already crying over the love of a one day acquaintance. One freshman upon being asked what she found most memorable about her first few days at Brevard college an swered, “tests.” True. Hardly one other word would be so ap propriate. On Monday the new students were treated to a series of tests that if not worse were certainly as bad as the SAT. Of course, there was also the test on rules and regulations at Brevard College. After taking all those tests one began to wonder if it really was a privilege to attend Brevard College (like the tests said.) Wednesday was the big day, the one that all new students (with any sense at all) had dreaded for months. After standing in the registration lines for hours, getting a lousy picture made and ending up in the wrong activities class it was almost a relief to walk out into the rain. Of course, there was also the terrible shock of looking down at your little blue schedule and discovering that you had both English and French durng period J. Or the sickness you felt in the pit of your stomach when you Students Are Asiced To Aid Tlie Elderly The Educational Sub committee of the land of the Sky Regional Council Advisory Committee for the Aging has announced that it is interested m using student interns in its programs for the aged. The agency’s previous ex perience with a Mars Hill College student has led the agency to believe that more college students from this region could be an asset to the program. Joan B. Tuttle, Program Ad ministrator fpr.the Aging states,- showed a sophomore your schedule and he laughed and said, “You took all the rough classes, boy do I feel sorry for you.” Thursday, after a restless night of tossing and turning classes began. After the initial shock of having three teachers pronounce your name wrong, going into the wrong classroom once and discovering that you had brought the wrong books to class...things didn’t seem so bad after all. On Thursday night, the college’s beginning activities wound up with the Formal Convocation. As the band played and the teachers filed past in academic regalia, it suddenly hit you. You were in college! “the potential for this project is only as limited as our imaginations.” Possible areas of work include: playing music for the elderly, developing recreational programs for the aged, visiting older people in their homes and others. Any Brevard student intere&t,ed in this project may contact Ms. Tuttle by writing to Land-of-Sky Regional Council, P.0.
