Infirmary limits availability of condoms
by .John Roberts
Clarion A.sst. Editor
The Brevard College Infirmary has
stopped giving out free condoms lo
students. There arc several reasons why
they chose lo stop giving them away.
The first reason is because students
were abusing the privilege. They were
asking for too many at a time, and there
were some people who were misusing
them (water balloons, etc.). Also,
students were leaving used condoms on
the campus instead of throwing them
away.
The second reason the infirmary has
stopped giving away condoms is
because it is not in their policy to have
lo give away condoms. They just started
giving them out last year on a trial
Trustee supports
Performing Arts
Brevard College trustee Maxine
Forrest of Shelby and her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. G. Scott Francis of Charlotte,
have made a gift of $600,000 to Breviird
College in support of the Paul B. Porter
Performing Arts Center. The gift will
provide for a pavilion at the entrance of
the center which will include an
exhibition area and a large, public area
for gatherings and smaller performances.
The pavilion’s most distinguishing
feature, a colonnaded rotunda, will house
a spiral staircase for access lo the
balcony of the main auditorium, and the
entire pavilion will face the Brevard
College campus with a dramatic view of
King’s Creek.
Forrest, who currently serves as
vice-chairperson for the Brevard College
Board of Trustees, has been a member of
the board since 1988. In addition to her
duties as vice-chairperson, Forrest also
serves on the Executive Committee and
the Finances and Endowments
Committee.
basis. They have a responsibility lo the
students, but they also have a
responsibility to the truslces, and some
of them thought the infirmary giving
away condoms was promoting sex.
The third reason the infirmary has
Slopped giving away condoms is
because in most cases they are not
medically nccessciry. Any student who
needs condoms for mcdical reasons will
still be able to get them from the
infirmary.
If you have any comment.s or
suggestions, contact Mrs. Lee Henry,
Director of Student Health Services.

College receives endowments for two new scholarships
Special to the Clarion
from the BC News Bureau
Brevard College has recently
received money to set up scholarships
for the Music Depiirlmenl and the Math
and Science Depanmeni.
Brevard College has received an
anonymous endowment of S100,125,
the interest of which will be used to
support the teaching of math and science
at Brevard College. The Brevard College
Division of Math and Sciences currcnlly
offers courses in biology, chemislry,
geology, mathematics and physics, and
is in its second year of offering an
Associate in Science degree.
“Many reports describe the need for
our country’s educational community to
address the teaching of mathematics and
science in our schools and colleges.
This donor has made a decision to
become a partner in this most important
quest: the education of our young men
and women,” said Brevard College
President J. Thomas Bertrand.
Louise Y. Ferguson of Pineville,
N.C., has established an endowed
scholarship at Brevard College to
support students who come to the
College to sludy music.
“Brevard College is proud lo have
the support of Mrs. Ferguson for this
scholarship, which will allow students
who wish to study music to take
advantage of our fine music program
here at Brevard College,” said J. Thoma.s
Bertrand, President of Brevard College.
“Through her generosity, students will
be able to pursue their dreams of a carcer
in music, starting with Brevard
College.”
Coed-
(Cont. from pg. 1)
However, Sanchez believes ihat
they will inly be treated like adulls
when they have shown the
responsibility that is required, otherwise
“if you act like children, we will treat
you like children.”
Some of the things residents would
like to see changed are the curfew on the
lobby for non-residents, lack of pool
privileges and visitation hours. Many
students feel that we should be allowed
to have overnight guests of the opposite
sex. As Jennie Williams, “They af®
going to sneak them in anyway, they
might as well be allowed to do it.”
All these things will be taken'inio
consideration next year when they decide
whether or not to continue
program.
