Preston, the acclaimed magi
cian and hypnotist, will appear
tonight at 8:15 in the Brevard Col
lege Boshamer Gymnasium.
Attendance records show that
Preston is the most popular
entertainer in the history of
Brevard College. When he per
forms in 1979, he received a stan
ding ovation. When he returned in
1981, he attracted the largest
crowd ever assembled for a
visiting entertainer.
According to reports from his
other performances and from
Brevard College students who at
tended the event in previous
years, those attending the
Preston’s show are in for an even
ing of fun, laughter, and amaze
ment. The highlight of his show is
the demonstration of hypnosis us

Preston is a talented and ac
complished magician, and is a
past president of the Interna
tional Brotherhood of Magicians.
He was also chosen to appear in
“Who’s Who on the American

Many Financial Aid Programs
Available To Eligible Students
1 1 ic Q nnri \ironfc maiAr
By Paige Dickens
Have you ever wondered what
those groups of unfamiliar people
are doing walking around cam
pus on Saturday morning? The
explanation is that several Satur
days during the year the Office of
Admissions presents special pro
grams for prospective students.
These programs are Visitation
Days which allow high school
students the opportunity to know
more about Brevard College.
These students and their parents
can meet Admissions officers,
the Deans of the College, and ask
questions about academics, stu
dent life, athletics, and financial
aid. The schedule includes a tour
of the campus and lunch in the
cafeteria.
The reaction of these prospec
tive students has been extremely
favorable. Most students who
visit our campus eventually
choose to attend Brevard.
The Student Ambassadors also
enjoy the opportunity to meet
people and encourage them to at
tend Brevard. According to Stu
dent Ambassador Co-Chairman,
Nina Shafer, “it is rewarding to
know that people you talk with
are impressed enough to attend
Brevard. It is especially nice
when you see familiar faces on
campus from one of last year’s
Visitation Days.”
The next Visitation Days are
scheduled for Spring Semester.

Brevard College offers
students various kinds of finan
cial aid. These are numerous
merit scholarships available,
such as the Angier B. Duke, An
nabel Lambeth Jones, and Allen
R. Sim’s Scholarships, Dean’s
Scholarships, President’s
Scholarships, and Courtesy
Scholarship. Fifteen Summer
Session Scholarships are also
given to rising high school
seniors. Talent Awards are given
to students who demonstrate ap
titude in athletics, art, drama, or
music. Those who show outstan
ding leadership qualities may be
eligible for Citizenship Awards.
Also available to students are
many grants, loans, and the Col
lege Work-Study Program. If any
student wants financial aid, (s)he
must file either the Financial Aid
Form (FAF) with the College
Scholarship Service, or the Fami
ly Finance Statement (FFS) with
the American College Testing
Board. Once a student has filed
one of the forms, he has officially
applied for aid. The FAF of the
FFS forms may be obtained from
any high school or college finan
cial aid office. Students who want
scholarships should ask the col-
lege(s) for specific information
and for scholarship applications.
As Madeleine Madden, a
Brevard College sophomore,
says, “If you’re going to get the
money, you’ve got to apply for
it.” L ast year, Madeline took her
own advice by applying for
scholarships to attend Brevard
College, and she received three of
them. One was the Angier B.
Duke Scholarship, which is a full
scholarship. Madeleine is a
music (piano) major, who also
plays the oboe and the sax
ophone. Jeff Moore is another
student who had received ^e
Duke Scholarship. After applying
to Brevard College, he was in
vited to attend and to compete in
its annual Scholarshio Dav Com
petition. He applied for the Duke
and Sim’s Scholarships. Jeff, who
is from Georgia, applied to
several schools there and “was in
the running for a couple of other
scholarships.” When asked what
he thought might encourage
others to take advantage of the
financial aid available to
students, he said that financial iri-
formation, especially scholarship
information, should be given to
high school students sooner than
it is. He feels that this would be
incentive for them to perform
better academically and would
encourage them “not to slack off
in their studies.” Jeff said that he
didn’t develop much interest
himself in scholarships, nor did
he give “much serious thought”
to his grade point-average until
his junior year. For some
students, that is too late. High
school freshmen and sophomores
should be given more information
about scholarships and financial
aid.
Christine Pellicio has received
the Allen H. Sim’s Scholarship
and she thinks that students,
especially college students,
should receive, at the beginning
of each semester, a notice outlin
ing all financial aid and scholar-
Spanish and wants to major in In
ternational Law. In Florida, she
received several scholarshipos,
which she turned down, and
Brevard College also awarded
her four different scholarships,
some of which were “cancelled
out” by others. Christine was
“happy and relieved” to get the
Sim’s Scholarship because it
gave her the opportunity to at
tend a junior college, instead of
attending a Florida community
college, for which she also had
scholarship. When asked if she
