Oct. 19, 2007 I The Clarion NEWS Page 3 Fall Break is finally here by Rhea Frederick Copy Editor Two months have already flown by, and you know what time it is now! Today is the first day you can sit back, relax and not have to worry about any due dates until Tuesday! How nice is that? You can drive home, watch the leaves change colors and when you get home, realize that your younger sibling has taken over your room. So, what are your plans? “I’m going home,” Megan Schulz explained to me. “I’m going home to Alabama.” “I’m going home too,” Caroline McLean and Chris Dixon said in unison. “I’m going to see my uncle,” Nina Willis seemed excited to announce. The freshmen are anxious to get back to their comfort zones. Many of them, including myself, have not had the chance to get back home for the first couple of months that we have been here. Either the drive is too long to only stay for a few days, or we have been way too busy with school work and other school related activities. “The football players have to stay here,” Bryan commented. Although he is not on the team, he is residing here over the weekend, and his only company will be the football team. While Bryan is happy to be here with little company, Shelley Green is upset because she has to play trombone at the game. “It really sucks because I can’t go home until Saturday, after the game.” This results in her and the rest of pep band’s break being a day shorter than the rest of ours. The Russians are on the go! They departed from here on Wednesday evening and are now travehng in different parts of the United States from Chicago, to Philadelphia, all the way down to Miami! Traveling by bus, they were anxious to get to their locations. “We are excited to have the opportunity to travel around America!” by Ben Goff News Editor Founded in 2001, the Brevard College Debate Society seeks to “.. .provide a forum for the awareness and discussion of issues that affect students as members of broader societies...” It is the goal of the Debate Society to foster an informed and responsible student body through debate and discussion. Perhaps the most visible function of the Debate Society on campus is their regular open forums on timely and controversial topics. These forums consist of a resolution, on which two speakers present arguments: one in the affirmative and one in the negative. After the speeches, all attendees are welcome to join in an open discussion, after which a vote is taken. Attendance at these events is always good, and the debates always lively and thought- provoking. In September, Debate presented their first open forum of the year in conjunction with constitution day, the topic of commented Maria Telezhnikova and Maria Sinitsyna. When I asked them if they were nervous about the bus ride, they informed me that they weren’t nervous because they had traveled all over Europe. Maria Telezhnikova said, “I am not nervous; I have traveled all the way around Europe all by myself. This should be fun.” Everyone enjoy their fall break and be safe! which was, “Resolved: Constitutional rights should be extended to all people within the borders of the United State.” The second open forum of the semester will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 30 on the topic, “Resolved: the US should legalize marijuana.” Previous resolutions have included a variety of topics, from military action in Iraq, to separation of church and state. Since its inception, the debate society has grown and expanded from holding one or two open forums a year, to holding three to four a semester. Additionally, the Debate Society sponsors the final debate for Ralph Hamlet’s COM 380 “Argumentation and Debate” class each fall. Debate Society President, Michael Spradlin hopes to make an intercollegiate debate team a part of the club in the future and also has an interest in hosting high school debate tournaments. Students who would like to be involved with the Debate Society are invited to attend meetings each Thursday at 5:45 p.m. inMG 139.
