And you thought he was in prison? Nope. Jimmy and Tammy Faye
(Dino Locklear and Kathleen Hermans) came to the BC Halloween

BC inducts two into Hall of Fame
Two outstanding alumni were inducted
into the Brevard College Hall of Fame at
Brevard College’s annual Homecoming
weekend, Oct. 13-15.
Bishop Ole E. Borgen of Norway and the
late Dr. A. Mitchell Faulkner of Charlotte
were honored for outstanding personal
achievement and service bringing honor
and respect to Brevard College.
With his wife, Martha, and his daughter
May-Britt (BC ’89) watching. Bishop
Borgen told the gathering of his first day at
Brevard College; “completely lost, com
pletely exhausted after two and half days
of non-stop bus travel, and the minute I got
here they decided to have a dorm
meeting,” Bishop Borgen said with a
‘smile, “And aU those folks spoke Southern
— which I didn’t understand.”
Then, “This college has changed my
whole life,” Borgen said. “This little col
lege gave me just as good an education as
those big places which charged ten times
as much.
“This place changed my life in my
career direction, too. I made the decision
here to go into the mininstry — instead of
meats and sausages — before, I was going
to take over my father’s business,” Bishop
Borgen concluded: “I cherish my
memories here.”
Borgen now lives and teaches at Asbury
Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Ky.
In making the posthumous presentation,
BC Alumni Association President Stuart
Black said, “A. Mitchell Faulkner was
loyal in words and action to Brevard Col
lege for over 50 years, giving suggestions
and advice to the Trustees, but most of all,
his prayers and concern for the ongoing of
Brevard College. We lost a great friend
when Mitch Faulkner left us on January
third of this year. He is truly missed.”
BC faculty are ^fit to teach ^

Brevard College has started a fitness
program for faculty, staff and administra
tion members called the “BC Be Fit” pro
gram.
Already 98 percent are participating in
the optional program, designed to en
courage and educate the Brevard College
faculty, staff, and administration toward
having healthier lives. A one percent
bonus is added to their next year’s salary if
they do participate in the program.
What is required of them in order to
receive their bonus? They must perform a
weekly aerobic exercise program for at
least 30 minutes three times a week aU
year (Sept. ll-May 4), including holiday
breaks. They are only allowed to miss
because of sickness, death in the family, or
other equally important circumstances;
but they still have to make it up, if possi
ble.
Their aerobic exercises can incli'je:
walking, swimming, biking, hiking, twth
Then there was this fun couple: Burney Mack as something native and
Beth Winters with a ‘fatal attraction’ for a stuffed toy.
Miss BC pageant plans set
roller and ice skating, cross country ski
ing, aerobic dancing, jogging, and rowing.
To keep a record of their exercises, they
record their work-outs on logs where they
list the date of the acitivity, the activity,
distance and if applicable, time and com
ments.
Says Sharon Brown, program coor
dinator, “This program gives the faculty,
staff, and administration members on op
portunity to come together for something
other than teaching or working. Each
member had a support person which en
courages them to strive harder for the eoai
which they have set for themselves to do
enabling them to spend more valuable
time together.”
So far they all seem to be very en
thusiastic about the program; only two
people are NOT partcipating. Of the people
Mrticipating, only a few of them are used
to exercising regularly, so this is a big ac
complishment for many of the faculty,
staff, and administration members, says
Brown.

Confidently, they parade. Gracious,
poised, intelligent and talented — not to
mention beautiful — these women between
the ages of 17 and 26 all want to be Miss
Brevard College and represent Brevard
College and the Town of Brevard in the
1990 Miss North Carolina Pageant.
.Inside the auditorium, a capacity crowd
will watch. Not everyone who watches
agrees that pageants are desirable — but
they watch and encourage each contestant
who competes anyway.
Derided by feminists, dismissed as an
anachronism by some, the Miss Brevard
College Pageant, Miss North Carolina
Pageant, and the Miss America Pageant
system endures, weathering changing
times and tastes each year.
This year’s Miss Brevard College
Pageant will be held on January 27,1990 at
8 p.m. in Dunham Music Center. Each con
testant will compete in four areas of com
petition; talent, interview, swimsuit, and
evening gown. Forty percent of the com
petition will be based on talent, and for the
first time in the Miss America System, in
terview will count for 30 percent rather
than ten percent in previous years. Swim
suit and evening gown will each count 10
percent.
The Miss America Pageant System of
fers some of the largest college scholar
ships for young women in the world. These
scholarships begin at the local level like
the Miss Brevard College Pageant, which
will give more than $3,000 in scholarship
money for Brevard College. Not only will
this year’s winner receive a scholarship,
but she will win the right to compete in the
1990 Miss North Carolina Pageant where
there she can obtain up to $10,600 in real
college scholarship money.
This year’s pageant theme is “The
Wonderful World of Disney”, in which all
entertainment will revolve around the pro
ductions of Disney. Teresa Lynn Jen-
newine of Brandon, Fla., the 1969 Miss
Brevard Coliege, will be present the entire
week of the pageant to tuni her crown over
to the new Miss Brevard College. Special
guests will include the current Miss North
Carolina, Kelly Dawn Flecther, of
Hickory, and various Miss America judges
from all over the southeastern United
States.
