A Behavior Study
by Lisa Atkins
Being a freshman, I had not
become familiar with the strange
behavior of certain campus
species when my “superior”
assigned me to record the actions
of those students and faculty
members caught in the act of
being themselves. Roaming the
B.C. domain under protective
cover, I made a halfway attempt
to observe (with a straight face)
and take mental notes on many
unsuspecting victims. The stories
you are about to read are true.
The names have been changed to
protect the innocent.
Saturday night, September
13th, third floor of a dorm which
shall remain nameless was the
scene of a rather wild toga party.
Two young ladies (who didn’t
particularly care to indulge in
such goings-on) had just returned
from the Storm Cellar. Without
even a second in which to lock
their door, Mr. Jed Smith,
wearing a rather outlandish-
looking toga, opened their door,
proceeded into their room, and
asked “Does either one of you
wear a size 36?”
As most of us are aware, there
exists within our midst a certain
faculty member who has a rather
fascinating obsession with tur
tles. Realizing this fact, Tom
Crum (who is always pulling a
joke of some sort) walked into
class one fine morning, proudly
sauntered to the front of the room
(prior to the teacher’s dreaded
arrival), removed one of the
stuffed creatures from the top of
Mr. X’s briefcase, and hung the
poor little thing from the string
descending from the map. The
class burst into laughter, but
(your reporter) noted that the
prank seemed incomplete
without a suicide note. I men
tioned this to Mr. Crum, and he
agreed, proceeding to the front of
the room again, this time to write
“Goodbye, Mr. X!” beneath the
suspended little green body, and
letting the string swing slowly
back and forth. The teacher
walked into the room to meet a
rather sad sight, releasing a cry
of “Oh, no!” which did anything
but drown out the laughter of the
students under his charge.
(Reporter’s note: Reptile
Funeral Home is in charge of
arrangements, which are in
complete at press time - yay,
yay.)
It was a beautiful, sunny day
when Jane Jones decided to take
a walk to the cafeteria and eat
lunch. Everything had gone
perfectly ... until she walked past
West Beam! It was at this point
that she found herself being
“serenaded” by a rather out of
tune version of the National
Anthem, which was being per-
troduced. The evening will come
alive with a semi-formal dinner
the second or third floor. Making
a fair attempt to stifle her
laughter (and at the same time,
refrain from vomiting), she
managed to survive the free
entertainment, and, with a polite
smile, looked up and yelled,
“Thanks, guys!” as an ex
pression of her heartfelt
gratitude.
On a rather ordinary evening in
Green Hall, a few young men had
decided to perform their own
version of “The Exorcist,”
unaware that their resident tutor
was closely within their midst.
After hearing a few chants of “I
am the devil” (along with one or
two others), the R.T. supposedly
entered the room and said,
“Prove to me there are in
telligent people on earth.”
My feelings exactly!
Here’s Something
You Didn’t Know
by Missi Ellison
Many music majors here at
Brevard are planning to be
performers at four-year in
stitutions and then have careers
with symphonies, ensembles,
choirs, or operas. The talents
which are the motivating push
behind this desire to excel in
music are put to the test at
student recitals. In addition to the
usual class load, extra
professional class hours, and any
other something the music major
might desire to do, the musician
who performs in a student recital
must put in hours and hours of
practice time so that a con
sistently superior performance

might be brought to you. Student
recitals, along with faculty
recitals, guest recitals, and
music department ensembles,
are sponsored by the music
department and the individual
performer ... these programs are
an honor for the performer as
well as the audience.

“Film Making In Appalachia”
by Karen Wehunt
“Film. Making in Ap
palachia” led by Herbert
Smith was one of many
programs offered by the Life
and Culture series during the
Fall Colloquium. His film
topic, “The Regular Baptist
Church,” was centered
around members of a Baptist
Church.
The members of the church
have a lot of openness and love
among themselves. This love
keeps the branches of the
church successful in the
Appalachia Mountains.
Smith gathered information
by attending the Regular
Baptist Church services and
other church gatherings
throughout the Appalachian
Mountains. He started and
completed his film production
during his senior year of high
school
Outside Square Dance is enjoyed by many B.C. students. (Photo by Steve Rabey).
