In the fall of 1989, Brevard College will
begin Project Inside-Out. Students will be
asked to do service for the enhancement of
their education.
The program, headed by Sybil Dodson,
will be strictly voluntary for the ’89 school
year. As of 1990, the program will become
a basic requirement and mandatory for
graduation.
Inside-Out is a program which will allow
students to do service. For example a stu
dent would be expected to complete 30
hours over a two year period of time. Dur
ing this time, the student will go to one of
the local service agencies and help out for
half an hour a week.
Many things have already taken place
within the campus; students have started
the Environmental Awareness Group and
some students are teachers aides at local
elementary schools, and the mission trip to
Mexico was a major accomplishment.
Project Inside-Out will provide for the op
portunity for all students ‘‘to experience
the joy of service and that comes from the
giving of yourself and benefits the lives of
others and that comes back to you one hun-

dred fold. You receive far more than what
you give; that’s the nature of service,”
says Dodson.
“We want to turn students on to
service,” says Dodson, “and one way is to
get them involved. One way is to have a
Steering Committee which will consist of
students, faculty and members of the
larger community and the Methodist
church.”
The steering committee would make
suggestions to the Academic Standards
committee which will be comprised of
faculty, and they would in turn approve or
disapprove and make the final decision.
Though many questions are still
unanswered, and many decisions have yet
been made, most willbe done during the
upcoming year.

waters of Kings Creek during Clean Streams Day, April 15, The result
was more trash and refuse hauled out of the creek than could be
catalogued. Here, the bone-tired and foot-frozen EAG’ers pose around

Students Helping Students’ telephone
hothne is a new program organized by
Campus Counselor Steve Martin. Students
at Brevard will be answering questions
and helping other students with problems
over the phone.
The hotline will be primarily used for in
formation/referral and for students with
personal problems. The phone operators
are students trained by Martin. Once the
students are trained, a phone number will
be distributed throughout the campus.
Steve Martin is currently trying to have
special phones installed on each floor of
each dorm, free of charge. Until these
phones can be installed, students will have ^
to use the pay phones.
The hotline gives students a chance to
talk out their problems with other students
without having to identify themselves.
This assures students corrfidentiality of
their conversation. Someone who calls
wouldn’t even know who they were talking
to, unless there is someone they know that
they would rather talk to.
Students can also find out how to contact
an RD or for the telephone number of a col
lege staff member, and can be told which
RD’s are on call and how to contact them.
According to Martin, the Brevard
Hotline is “a structure for helping.” If any
student is interested in participating with
the hotline, contact Steve Martin.
