Recording' artist Randy Mat
thews will be performing his uni
que style of “Jesus Music” this
Wednesday at 7:30 pm in the
Brevard High Auditorium on a
program sponsored by Youth
Alive, a division of Creative
Ministries Unlimited.
Matthews, considered to be one
of the main pioneers of the Jesus
Music Movement, which took
place in the early 70’s, has been
going through some serious re
vamping of his life and career as
of late. This was evidenced when
he announced the signing of a
long term management with
Kent Washburn Productions dur
ing his recent tour of the west
coast. Washburn was formerly
the VP-General Manager of
Spirit Records, the label of which
Matthews currently records.
“We are looking forward to a
great year,” comments Mat
thews. “Since the very beginning,
12 years ago, I have been aware
of what I was supposed to be say
ing and doing.
“There was a period m my life,
though, when I lost track of that.
About three years ago I recorded
a song called ‘Jesus Revive Me’
and when I started listening to
what I was singing, it all started
coming back.
“To be as effective as 1 want to
be, I had to realize that a revival
within me had to take place first.
Once I gave the Lord control and
took my proper place as a func
tion of Him, I saw things start
coming into focus.
“It’s exciting to see what can
actually happen when you allow
yourself to be used as a tool of the
Lord instead of trying to be a tool
for the Lord...People grab hold of
what is being said to them with
their heart, instead of with their
ears.”
Matthews’ latest recording
gives testimony to this. In the
tune “Ball and Chain,” he com
pels the listener to self analysis
with the lyrics: “Are you still
draggin’ that extra weight, A ball -
of guilt and a chain of fate. Why
torture youself it’s so insane,
Realease yourself from that ball
and chain.”
The remainder of the ten cuts
on the album, apropriately titled
“Plugged In,” take the listener
through a series of questions and
statements that relate the
realism of God to man, and man
to God. To quote Randy, “Jesus
did not come to take us out of
reality, but to put us into reality.”
Being a vereran communicator
that he is, Randy Matthews offers
something that everyone should
hear. Information comcerning
his appearance can be obtained
by calling Chuck Morgan at
884-2425, or Dee Berry, President
of Kappa Chi, in Stamey, room

By Richard Halliburton
Have you ever lived in a motel
for two weeks?If you ever want to
find out what it is like, ask the
disignated occupants of the new
apartment complex.
Twenty-four of them lived in
twelve rooms of the Brevard
Motor Lodge since the beginning
of the school year, waiting for the
new dormitory to be completed.
The twenty-three sophomores
and one freshman found the
rooms comfortable and quiet,
each having its own color televi
sion.
The students slept one per dou
ble bed, and also had daily maid
service. So what more could a
college student ask for"
While the students enjoyed
their stay, they found that they
also had some problems to con
tend with.
Perhaps the main disadvan
tage they faced was the walk to
campus. While it wasn’t a par
ticularly long walk to the
classroom buildings from the
motel, it did have certain
obstacles-namely Highway 64.
Fortunately, quite a few of the
students living in the motel were
Brevard College cross-country
runners, so they could sharpen
their running abilities by dodging
Mack trucks and townspeople
driving Chevy pick-ups and high-
powered ’71 Novas while crossing
the street at 8:00 in the morning.
Sophomore Eddie Michaels,
who incidentally didn’t have the
advantage of being a cross
country runner, summed up the
feelings of most of the students by
noting, “The motel had the ad
vantages of maids and good liv
ing conditions, but I don’t like
crossing the street everyday.”
However, Eddie and most of
the other students found the pro
blem of street-crossing minimal
considering the air-conditioning
and free telephone service. After
all, who can complain while
they’re lying by their own motel
pool"
Students Find Personal Satisfaction
By Regina Wortman
Many Brevard College students
have already established close
friendships and found personal
satisfaction. They have become
involved in one or more of the
religious groups on campus.
The active religious groups in
clude Kappi Chi, the Baptist Stu
dent Union, the Methodist Stu
dent Movement, and a Catholic
group.
Kappa Chi is an inter
denominational religious group
for both men and women. The
club has made plans to sponsor a
haunted house and rake leaves
for some of the Elderly in the
community in October.
In November, the club will
sponsor a Thanksgiving dinner
for the entire BC community.
Also in November, Kappa Chi
will conduct a food drive for the
Sharing House, an organization
which provides food and clothing
for needy people in Transylvania
County.
Kappa Chi meets each Thurs
day at 5:15 p.m. in the private
dining room of the cafeteria.
The Baptist Student Union has
also planned several activities.
From September 24 through 26
some of the BSU members will be
attending the annual Fall Con
vention at Ridgecrest Baptist
Assembly near Asheville.
The BSU is planning to display
a “thought for the week” in the
cafeteria to offer hope and
guidance to the BC community.
*
In October, the club will have a
Halloween party.
BSU’s November projects will
include a party for air interna
tional students and the first of
several visists to the Brian
Center, a home for the handicap
ped and the Elderly.
The Baptist Student Union
meets every first and third
Thursday of the month at 6:30
p.m. upstairs in the Student
Union.
The MSM and Catholic groups
are still forming plans for this
semester.
Help For The Homesick
By Patsy Gazaleh
One of the many problems of
beginning students is the age-old
illness called homesickness. That
longing for home often causes a
student to just give up and go
home.
Here in Brevard, there haven’t
been too many students to leave
because of homesickness. The
reason for this is the nice home-
style feeling in the air. The retur
ning upperclassmen are open and
friendly. Their desire to help
eases a new student’s fear and
makes one feel welcome.
The Big Sisters and the Men
tors are assigned students to help
The twenty-four designated occupants of Brevard Motor possible. Also, Resi-
Lodge are enjoying such luxuries as a private poo dent
(above), air conditioning, and maid service. u ors a
«
Brevard should be applauded
for its efforts to make new
students feel at home. Many col
leges today think of their students
as just numbers. Brevard College
treats its students as individuals
with individual needs.
