Students Work In
The Community
by Lorrin Wolf
Clarion Editor
Brevard College students interact
with the Brevard community in many
ways, one of which is working at
various places in the surrounding area.
Students found jobs at Oh!
Susanna’s, various grocery and clothing
stores, summer camps, and with
families as babysitters.
“I was working at Ingles when the
owner of Oh! Susanna’s asked me to
come and work for her. I decided to do so
because I make more money as a
waitress,” said freshman Laura Hayes.
“The atmosphere of the restaurant is
also very fun and relaxing. I see my
friends come in with their parents when
their families are in town. I also met the
new president of the college and several
BC trustees while I was working. One
of my favorite times is when Preston
Woodruff comes in on Tuesday nights to
perform li ve music,” she said.
Babysitting was the most popular
way to earn mone^Jor BC students
because students found it easier to get
hired for temporary jobs. “I’ve babysat
for Clyde Carter before. I changed a
diaper and everything,” sophomore Will
Parker said.
More permanent jobs such as
waitressing or being a cashier usually
belonged to members of the community
who would not leave after two years or
during the summer. “I lived in the
community for a year prior to enrolling
at Brevard College. I’m also staying
here this summer,” Hayes said.
Summer camps also hired many BC
students as camp counselors. “I worked
at a Christian summer camp for the past
two years. A lot of them were abused
children who had two strikes against
them. We were just there to give them a
moment of our time and to set a good
example. It lasts nine weeks every
summer, and after that time you are
drained, not just mentally, but
emotionally and physically as well,”
Parker said.
Other summer camps came to
Brevard College’s Camp Days this year
in the spring. Stacey Willocks got hired
at Camp Greenville through Camp Day.
“They came once about a month ago and
two or three times earlier in the year,”
she said.
Kathy Kampe, a salesperson from
Belks and a commuting student at BC,
gave other students advice on how to
find a job. “I went to the employment
office in town by the public library.
They gave me an application for Belks,
and I filled it out and returned it them. If
anyone wants a job, that’s where they
need to go,” she said.

Smokeless Tobacco Banned
From BC Residence Hall
by Josh Markle
Clarion Staff Writer
Smokeless tobacco has recently
been banned to residents living in Taylor
and this rule will be in effect until the
end of the semester.
Many reasons were mentioned why
smokeless tobacco created such a
problem. One reason was due to spit
cups being left out in the halls and not
properly disposed of. Also, stains left
from tobacco spit by residents that
didn’t use anything to spit in caused
extra work for maintenance.
The main reason why smokeless
tobacco was banned is because of chew
spit getting flushed down toilets and
sinks. This causes a problem not only
for maintenance, but to our plumbing
systems as well.
Most of the students that reside in
Taylor do not seem to mind. One
resident even said, “As long as the RD
doesn’t see me, then I’m all right”
