Page 4 The Clarion Tuesday, October 27, 1981 Clubs What’s Happening? by Lorie Hoffman Circle K, the service club here at B.C., is busy starting an adopt- a-child program. In this program organized by the Social Services of Brevard, each child partici pant visits a child once a week. These children need someone who can give love and affection: a friend, in essence, a Big Brother or Big Sister. If you would like to join adopt- a-child or be of service to the school and community, join Cir cle K Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m.! New members are welcome at any time. by .Sandy Hulbert 6 Que pasa en el Club Hispanoamericano?” Several entertaining and informative events is what’s happening in Spanish Club this year! Brevard’s Spanish Club has got ten underway! At their first meeting, which was held the last of September the new officers for the 1981-1982 school year were elected. They are as follows: Rafael Gasti, President Deanna Smith, Vice-President Laura Hines, Secretary Lori Gabriel, Treasurer Lisa Atkins, Public Relations Club Sponsors: Dr. Viola Perez Honorary Club Member: Mr. Peter Burger Special cultural films will be shown, speakers have also been set up to give enlightening talks on their cultural backgrounds and, of course, social events such as holiday parties have been set up for the year. In regarding the main purpose of the club, Rafael Gasti stated that, “The function of the club is to give students an awareness of the Hispanic cultural influence by viewing films and having guests come and talk.” by Evelyn Lewis Serving. Reaching. Sharing. These are all intergal parts of Kappa Chi, the Christian service organization on BC campus. More than ever before Kappa Chi is expanding its program to offer something to everyone. Already Kappa Chi has been on one camping retreat and has plans underway for a second retreat in the last of October. These retreats provide the students an opportunity to “let their hair down” and be honest with themselves and with God. This is one of the main thrusts of Kappa Chi: to throw off the mask and expose our true self to others and to God. Kappa Chi is also responsible for several school activities. Kap pa Chi decorates the cafeteria for Thanksgiving dinner, has the pro gram for the lighting of the Christmas tree, goes Christmas caroling around the community, sponsors Christian Encounter Week and has an Easter sunrise service on top of the parkway. The enthusiasm and energy of the organization is due in part to its new sponsor Mr. Gibbons. A Brevard graduate, Mr. Gibbons was President of Kappa Chi when he was a sophomore here. Working with Mr. Gibbons are four officers: President Evelyn Lewis, Vice-President Dee Berry, Secretary Frank Meadows, and Program chair man Beverly Clemens. Kappa Chi extends an invita tion to all who are interested in Christian fellowship to attend its meeting on Thursdays at 5 o’clock in the private dining room.

Parking A Problem On Campus by Cecil Collier One of the prevailing problems at Brevard is the lack of parking space. The Student Government is looking into this problem. Many proposals have been discussed. It has been suggested that the parking area in front of McLarty Goodson be designated for day students and faculty. Another suggestion was to assign to teachers spaces that are denoted by yellow lines. However, Don Scarborough feels that assigning lots to the faculty would present too many pro blems. The Student Government has appointed a committee to ex amine the situation. The overall opinion of the students is that there are not enough parking spaces. Karen Talley and Alice Ernest agree that Brevard is “in need of more paved parking.” Mark Jernigan states that “assigned parking places close to the dorm are need ed.” Andy Dicara adds that “there are definitely not enough parking spaces here.” On the other hand, P.J. Jenkins says that he “hardly ever has trouble parking.” The day students are also hav ing problems with parking. One day student feels that “It is really an inconvenience to have to search for a parking space.” A great deal of the day students have to park at the gym; however, this sometimes proves to be an in convenience. At this time, there is no perfect solution for this problem. The Student Government is working with the faculty to find an answer. Don’t Throw Out That Junk Mail Happy by Gay Harshbarger Are you one of those people who throw away leaflets and adver tisements that come in the mail without really looking at them? If so, you may be depriving yourself of a little humor. Take the Brevard Library for instance. According to Librarian Mrs. Ruth Hall, the library has received magazine subscription offers addressed to “Mr. Brevard College,” and a free gift cer tificate from Weekly Reader Children’s Book Club addressed to “James Jones and Parents,” as well as (and the best is yet to come!) “Mrs. James Jones” may already be the winner of a seven day Caribbean cruise, a mink coat, or a Volkswagen Diesel Rabbit from the McCall’s Publishing Company Giveaway! (It will be a good trick fitting the library on a cruise ship.) So the next time you are temp ted to throw away that “junk mail,” take a look at it. It may give you a chuckle or two, not to mention a mink coat! Halloween Are You Breaking The Law? Skip Long, an active student who proves that Brevard has much to offer. by Cecil Collier While reading The State newspaper the other day, I came across an amusing article written by Susan G. Hand. If you think our rules and laws are ridiculous, listen to some of these: there is a law in Maine which prohibits anyone from stepping out of an airplane while in flight. Sounds logical, huh? Did you know that in North Carolina there is a law that makes it illegal to plow a cotton field with an elephant? There are probably a lot of unemployed elephants running around these days. In South Carolina, there is a law that prohibits butchers from being on murder trial juries. To keep the unrepentant sin ners from getting too violent. South Carolina men are still technically obliged to carry guns to church. Most of us are breaking an old South Carolina law which pro hibits pants to have hip pockets. This law was designed to keep you from carrying a concealed pint bottle of liquor. Here’s one that makes a little bit more sense. It is illegal for barbers to eat onions between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Kind of takes the worry out of being close. These “legal blasts” were col lected by Randall Bridwell, a University of South Carolina law professor. A Letter To Brevard College This (Homecoming) was a wonderful day for me. Even the 19 hours of work and some rain did not keep me from feeling like one of you students and the alum ni. I wiU not name you boys and girls that came by with ham & biscuits, peanut butter sand wiches, hamburgers, chocolate chip cookies, coffee, chili and crackers. But this made me feel that my efforts were not in vail. The alumni remembered me from last year and greeted me with enthusiasm. One gentleman, Mr. Ken Robertson, class of ’41 stayed with me until 2 a.m. In fact, he' was my assistant at times. Thanks for making my day one to remember. Love you, Thad Jones, Grandpa
