Legs Contest Benefits March Of Dimes By Sandra Ziegler The Legs Contest on October 1st was dreamed up by sophomore Scott Merusi as his answer to a Peer Counseling pro ject for Dr. Sherri Bowers. Scott planned to get donations and sponsors for participants in the contest and then use the money to benefit the March of Dimes. However, Scott had an ulterior motive. The Legs Contest drew thirteen contestants, men and women, who assembled in Beam Lobby for judging. One would not have been surprised to find that Doc Wood was a contestant! Sophomore Josie Owen from West Beam took first place for the female contestants, and Pat Sullivan of Taylor Hall placed first with men. Merusi’s goal had been to raise $160, but he seemed pleased with the final total of $130. But Scott, though sincere in supporting the March of Dimes, is really interested in improving Which pair of these legs looks like a winner?

If the students stick around for the week-end, it will benefit everyone, and we can alleviate boredom; it makes school more fun,” said Scott. our school. He wants to organize a group, possibly called “Fridays,” that will help to alleviate boredom on weekends when many students go home. “I think our school shouldn’t be a ‘suit-case’ school. I think the Scott also hopes to involve students with teachers. He hopes to see students and faculty get ting to know each other and becoming friends, thus giving us a well-balanced school. Scott believes we should “keep our minds on school. We are here for ourselves so we should try to get involved. If we can cut out some of the outside pressures, like from home, we’ll do better in school. “I think by having something going on during week-ends here at school we’ll be able to en courage students to stay here, thus alleviating some of that out side pressure. There will be a continuity, a flow, between our work-days and week-ends. That’s what we need to improve our school.” Adds Scott, “People who sit around all the time saying, ‘I’m bored!’ are dumb! If they’re bored they should get up and do something about it. I’m not afraid to do that.” 'A '£] Clarion ^ Tuesday, October 12,1982 Volume 50 Brevard College Brevard, North Carolina 28712 Number 3 ?

Late last month the Asheville ? ®Pter of the Red Cross, in con junction with the Big Sisters, was hand at the college in hopes of producing a portion of the badly needed blood. After receiving approximately pints by p m. of the drive day, the Red Cross and the Big Sisters had nothing but words of praise for the first blood-drive at BC for the year. Sophomore Susan Updyke, president of the Big Sisters, sai the turnout was a surprise and that everything went smoothly throughout the day, except that several of the helping Sisters ex perienced queasiness w i e handling the blood. The 131 student and teacher participants surpassed the an ticipated goal of 125 set by the Red Cross in the early planning stages of the drive. Sophomore day student Anita Jones commented that the blood she was donating would be direct ly used to help a baby which is hospitalized in Asheville. The baby is in need of Anita’s par ticular blood type. In meeting with the Big Sisters earlier in the year. Red Cross of ficials had reiterated the desperate need for blood, and had hoped that a project of this type at BC would be of benefit in help ing the shortage crisis.
