BC Enters Year-Long
Self-Study Period
Brevard College will begin its
institutional self-study this year
and has named Mr. Randolph
Jackson to be the director and
general editor of the self-study.
According to Jackson, a college
is required by the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools (SACS) to make a self-
study every ten years in order to
maintain its accreditation. “The
process, which takes two years,
is designed so that a college may
examine its procedures and
policies in all its various areas-
from the Board of Trustees to the
students, from the physical
operations to the Admissions of
fice,” Jackson says. He also adds
that the self-study is considered
successful only if the whole col
lege community is involved.
A representative from SACS,
Dr. Jean Walker, was on campus
in March for the official “kick
off” of the self-study. Soon after,
the self-study steering commit
tee, composed of various faculty
members, convened with the col
lege committee chairmen to
discuss the college’s purpose as it
-is stated in the college handbook.
According to Jackson, “The col
lege purpose, clearly stated, is
vital for a good self-study.
“The steering committee will
work this summer to prepar our
in-house manual so that the col
lege community will know what
kinds of information we will need
to collect in order to compile the
final self-study document,”
Jackson said.
In two years, a visiting com
mittee, appointed by SACS, will
spend a week on campus review
ing Brevard’s self-study.

Frampton
Performs
Tonight
By Robin Thomas
Mac Frampton, known as one
of the most exciting and talented
young pianists on the American
stage today, will be performing
at Dunham Auditorium tonight at
8:15 p.m.
A graduate of Erskine College
and the Cincinnati Conservatory,
Frampton made his professional
debut at eight. He later gained
national prominence as a bronze
medalist in the 1969 Van Cliburn
International Piano Competetion.
He has also made television ap
pearances with the Cincinnati
Symphony. Over the past few
years, he has appeared with his
group in over 1000 concerts in the
U.S., Canada, Europe, and the
Mid-East. Frampton has also
written the score for two original
musicals and the arrangements
for three others.
Mac Frampton’s unique style,
varying from classical to rock,
and his friendly, relaxed way of
performing will make the au
dience feel at home while also en
joying an evening of exciting
entertainment.
Interest Groups
Meeting On
BC Campus
By Stephen Wells
Within the next few weeks the
newly established Interest
Groups will be holding their
preliminary meetings at the
home of Dean Wray.
The groups, set up by the Dean
for the purpose of getting people
involved in campus activities,
will be convening on different
scheduled evenings with the last
group meeting being Sept. 26. At
each of the meetings, plans for
the group will be discussed as will
a schedule for future sessions.
“So often it is easy for people to
miss out on events and
programs,” said Dean Wray,
“and unfortunately they end up
doing very little.”
This is the first year the groups
have been introduced at Brevard,
but the Dean had previously in
itiated such groups at schools like
Vanderbilt University and
William and Mary College. Dean
Wray also said that the program
was a success at the other
schools.
