The Clarion Tuesday, November 23,1982 Make Friends With a Day Student By Julie Chason Sometimes referred to as “townies,” day students are those people who have made the decision to commute rather than live on campus. Only day students may attend Brevard College part time, but most are full time, degree seeking students. The greatest advantage of be ing a day student is the lower cost paid to attend classes. Day students are exempt from paying boarding expenses, and receive a commuting scholarship, which is one quarter of per hour tuition costs. Being North Carolina residents, they receive the North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant, amounting to $650 for the year. The day student will pay $1322 for the 1982-83 academic year, while a boarding student will pay from $3700 for North Carolina residents, to $4490 for non-residents. A day student need not com plain of missing Mom’s home cooked meals. He can go to class every d^iy, and still make it home for dinner. He does not have to depend on the United States Postal Service to send an impor tant message or receive emergency funds. Friends and family are available when need ed. Many day students feel that they are better able to study than boarding students. This is because they have fewer distrac tions at home than in a dorm. However, they also feel that this puts them at a social disadvan tage. It is harder to make friends in the classroom than in the dorm. Day students have found that parking can often be a problem. All the parking spaces in front of the classroom buildings and the Student Union are usually filled by eight o’clock in the morning. The day students who do not live in the town of Brevard have a special problem. Road conditions can become dangerous during the winter months. Many day students must travel moun- Ronnie Reid, dent president. Talent Show a Big Success By Genie Glover Brevard College’s own “Jazz Quartet” stole first place during this month’s Talent Show, “Way Off Broadway,” after a fine per formance of “Blues” and “Tangerines.” Second place went to sophomore Michelle Ebner for her performance of “On Broad way.” Sophomores Bill Tweed and Andre Ashley took third place for their performance of “Perhaps Love.” Other fine performances in the Parents’ Weekend Talent Show were: The Carolina Band perfor ming “Mountain Music” and “Ramblin’ Man,” which everyone seemed to enjoy, as well as Awara Conrad’s song “Theme from Ice Castles.” and Making the mountains of North Carolina home MOUNTAIN CHURCH A dnui) tiiiTiosi .in«, mikiII nioutiMiii t 111 Noriti C irci|iii.i iiMidllv Ifiids lo i I r>intmiiiitv t>iiri simiI.tT in ini', out- TfrtivJvanM C t.untv his nvpr 50 Imr.fi.-s Olin ECUSTA PAPEK & RLM GROUP tainous roads on their trips to and from school. A day student is almost certain to miss class time due to bad weather during the winter. A day student may not be well known, but he can still be a good friend. Most would be more than happy to answer any questions about the location of banks stores, and recreational facilities. Even though day students are a campus minority, they are definitely an asset to Brevard College. Decisions Made ConcerningV CR Stu- Kathy Ritter’s performance of “My Favorite Things.” These acts, along with a Japanese dance “Unenimorahu” performed by Yuka Inaba, “Eldeweiss,” sung by Joey Wig gins, and “Piano Man,” per formed by James Dorcheck, were all well done. “Way Off Broadway” was sponsored by the Brevard College Social Board. , ■ PiSGAH FOREST NORTH CAROLINA By Jon Zillioux Recently the Brevard College Library and Archives Committee reached several decisions regar ding campus use of the video cassette recorder (VCR) in Jones Library. The committee stresses that the VCR is not for personal use. Any person wishing to use the VCR should reserve it at least 24 hours in advance. Those wishing to use the machine are required to provide their own blank tape, which can be obtained in the of fice supply area of the Admis sions Building. A person wishing to get a tape for recording must sign for it. According to the Committee’s decision, the information for recording, such as time and date, program title and length, must be specified at the time of the re quest. If the VCR is to be used during the weekend, the library should be notified by 5 p.m. Friday, To show a tape, a person must reserve both the VCR and the seminar room, the first reserved through the library and the latter through the switchboard operator. Any group viewing a tape, say the Committee, must be accompanied by an instructor or faculty sponsor. The actual recording of a pro gram on the VCR will be handled by the library staff only, and no recording services will be per formed during vacation periods when the library is closed. Finally, the Committee points out that the use of the VCR must conform to current copyright laws. For any further information, interested persons should contact Mrs. Houk, Jones Library Direc tor. BSU Sponsors Sculpture Contest By Regina Wortman The Baptist Student Union sponsored two special events this past weekend. On November 19, a tin can sculpture contest took place from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. in front of the Administration Building. Each club participating in the contest built a creative sculpture out of cans of food. After all the sculptures were completed, they were judged by Mayor Charles Campbell, Presi dent Martinson, and Stella Trapp, the editor of the Tran sylvania Times. The winning club (results were unknown at press time) received a prize from McDonald’s. The cans of food were then donated to the Tran sylvania Christian Ministries Sharing House to aid the county’s needy. On November 20, BSU spon sored a party for all international students from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Transylvania Baptist Center. Everyone who attended the party enjoyed a home cooked Japanese meal as well as both Japanese and American games, singing, a devotion, and friendly fellowship. WPNF 1240 KhZ ( able F..M.
