Community
gathers at BC for
CROP Walk
by Charles Marks
Clarion Reporter
Over 2(X) walkers gathered in front
of Brevard College's Boshamer Gym on
Oct. 28 at 2 p.m. to begin a 10k walk
to focus attention on the problem of
world hunger. This event was called the
Transylvania CROP Walk.
CROP is a fund-raising and
awareness-raising arm of Church World
Service. CWS is sponsored by many
denominations and communions
worldwide.
Each participant was encouraged to
get sponsors. The sponsors agreed to
pledge a certain amount of money for
each mile walked. After the event, all
the money was collected and sent to
CROP headquarters in Elkhart, Ind.
Sharing House, here in Brevard, received
25 percent of the proceeds.
Reverend Thomas Latimer of St.
Timothy United Methodist Church
began the ceremonies by giving
encouragement to all of the walkers.
After Brevard College President
Billy Greer offered an opening prayer,
the walkers began a 6.2 mile walk
through the streets and neighborhoods of
Brevard. The route also ended in front of
the Brevard College Gym.
The event attracted all age groups,
churches and schools. Different churches
and schools held up signs of representa
tion as they walked. It was obviously a
very spirited event as people walked the
streets for such a cause.
BC sets sail to
Bahamas
by Sharon Young
Sail your worries away on a one-
week voyage to the Bahamas.
Student Activities is planning a trip
to the Bahamas during Spring Break.
The boat sets sail from Miami, Ha., at
midnight Saturday, March 7 and the trip
goes through the 16th.
"It's a good way to learn about
Marine life and learn to sail, says BC's
Director of Student Activities Bailey
Woods, "Plus it's fun!" The trip offers
wind surfing, sailing, snorkeling, scuba
diving, fishing and swimming.
Students will ride on boats ranging
from 40 to 65 feet. Each student will
have the opportunity to steer the boat
for two hours.
Woods urges student to start saving
their money now because the trip costs
$350 dollars, and a deposit of $150 is
needed this semester.
We need to know as soon as
^ssible, says Woods. "It's well worth
tnc money."

BC Food Committee
hearing suggestions
by William Greer
Clarion Reporter
The 1990 Brevard College Food
Committee has made many changes in
the Coltrane Commons snack bar/deli
and in the A.G. Myers Dining Hall.
Some of the members of the food
committee are John Massie, Kellie
Tagtmeyer, Lin Redmond, and Frederick
Scott.
The meetings are held every other
Tuesday in the lobby of the cafeteria
witl) the head of the cafeteria Jerry
Jackson. John Massie, the president of
the food committee, said, "Jerry loves to
hear input, complaints and com
pliments". The next meeting is
November 5, at 6:30 p.m.
Some of the topics discussed at the
meetings are cleanliness, leftovers, and
the hours students can use their I.D.
cards in the deli. All three of these
topics have been changed.
John Massie said he needs more
input from the students about the food,
but he is tired of people complaining to
him and not coming to the meetings.
Other ideas under discussion: adding
a milkshake maker for the deli, getting
a new salad bar, printing up menus, and
asking students to give their favorite
recipes to Jackson.
Fredrick Scott said,"the food has
gotten better. It's not the greatest but it
has gotten better." According to Scott,
many of the students agree that the food
has gotten better.
