A Triple Exposure of Casino Night
The Brevard College “Gaming
Commission” was in full swing
Saturday, February 6th. Casino
Nite, when fellow students can go
wild with make-believe money,
was successful considering the
number of people on campus.
The Social Board did a
magnificent job with handling the
blackjack tables with dealers like
Carolyn Welsh and Joby Perkins.

Economic Calamity”
By Richy Haymaker
President Reagan said
Thursday that the nation is facing
“economic calamity” and
proposed a 10% tax cut and
reductions in nearly every
government department. Reagan
is trying to pull the country out of
its worst “mess” since the first
Great Depression. The govern
ment must cut taxes and
decrease spending because
economic judgement day is
hand, Reagan said.
worst economic mess' since the
Great Depression,” Reagan said
in a prepared speech delivered
from the Oval Office. Reagan
received a comprehensive audit
on the state of the economy. He
quoted, “you won’t like it, I didn't
like it, but we have to face the
truth and then go to work to turn
things around. And make no
mistakes about it, we can turn
them around.
In his first major economic
speech to the nation as President
Reagan said; “It is time to
“I regret to say we are in the recognize that we have come to;
turning point. We are threatened
with an economic calamity of
tremendous proportions and the
old business-as-usual treatment
can't save us.”
The President said, “The
federal budget is out of control
and we face runaway deficits of
almost $80 billion for this budget
year thatends Sept. 30.
Reagan also said that the
national debt will go as high as a
trillion dollars or more before
educations in government
spending will effect the budget.

Many college students never
realize the impact of inflation
until they receive their first over
drawn bank statements. If the
price of college itself doesn’t get
them, the price of something else
will. Most are trying to budget
their money for the first time and
are finding themselves running
into problems. Money disappears
without a clue as to exactly what
it was spent on.
For some “unknown” reason,
students are eating less on
campus and are resorting to the
grocery stores and fast-food
chains in our area, where rising
prices are hitting everyone’s
wallet hard. For example, we
have all seen the price of a
canned soft drink increase from
35 to 40 cents within the last year.
A spokesman at Hardee’s in
Brevard, points out the in
troduction of a chicken sandwich
that keeps the amount of beef
purchased down, in an attempt to
keep their prices down. The
spokesman also reported that
Employment -

Hardee’s standard hamburger
has increased ten cents over the
past year in comparison to
McDonalds, where the ham
burger price has increased 14
cents.
With the increase in gas prices
this past year being ap
proximately 45 cents, a student
who finds himself bored in
Brevard (heaven forbid!) will be
paying about five dollars for the
gasoline to make a round trip to
Asheville. Once there you will
find that entertainment costs are
also on the rise. Night club cover
charges range from three to five
dollars, and unless you go on a
“free beer,” you will pay
anywhere from .60 to $1.50 for a
single beer. A theater in
Asheville reports an increase of
50 cents per person, although
prices may vary depending on
the movie.
Although inflation seems to hit
college students harder than
anyone, these are
solutions....Don’t eat. Don’t
drink, buy a moped and watch
more television.
and singers and actors for their
assorted shows.
Day students have an edge if
their parents work at either
DuPont and Olin. These plants
hire many of their employees’
children as help each summer.
Students interested should
contact the employment offices
of these plants for applications.
These are only a few of the
opportunities for college
students. Others may be found
through city job employment
agencies, newspapers, and, of
course, bulletin boards around
campus.
