Page 2 Campus News The Clarion \ January 18, 2017 New winter specials around the area By Jeni Welch staff writer Welcome back, Brevard College students! It is now 2017 and Brevard College is once again in full swing after the winter season’s first snow. Prior to students returning, the campus had roughly six inches of snow. The winter weather typically makes it difficult to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and paddling. If winter decides to return Brevard has more indoor activities for students both on and off campus. On campus events are always changing and offering new experiences and extracurricular activities for students. On the first Friday of every month. Open Mic Night is held in the Underground starting at 9 p.m. The Campus Activity Board (CAB) holds meetings at 5 p.m. every Wednesday. Be sure to watch the My Brevard calendar and emails for more information on events on and off campus. Pescado’s is having Taco Tuesdays and Burrito Fridays throughout the winter season. After 6 p.m. on Tuesdays, tacos are SI off and on Fri days, burritos are $1 off. BC students and staff also receive 10 percent discount. As of January 1, Sora’s began their annual buy one get one sushi nights. On Mondays and Thursdays all sushi is BOGO for eat in or carry out along with a 10 percent discount to students. The Rockin’ Bowl Bowling Alley offers dollar bowling games on Wednesdays for Happy Hour between 6 and 7 p.m. and have free shoe rentals that same evening. They also offer BC students $2 shoe rentals and $2 games on Saturdays with student IDs. They also have billiards for only $10 an hour. The Brevard Rock Gym offers a 25 percent discount to all BC faculty, students and alumni. The Co-ed Cinema offers the matinee price for all shows with your student ID. Many other businesses offer student discounts with student IDs as well, such as Cardinals, Creekside Subs, and Jet’s Pizza. A full list can be found on the Brevard website under the Spend Locally link. Snow delays first day of classes By Asa Gray staff writer Much of the southeastern United States was recently hammered with dangerous snowy and icy conditions. Within the first week of 2017, a wild wintry weather brought a halt to most people’s daily schedules for several days and even delayed the start of classes for the spring semester at Brevard College. Brevard itself was blanketed with a few inches of snow, which was enough to bury all grassy surfaces and sidewalks. Stan Jacobsen, the director of safety, security and risk management at Brevard College, sent out a campus-wide email alerting students and faculty alike to “exercise reasonable caution” and “when walking please be aware of icy areas to avoid slipping and falling.” Gusty winds did not help the stormy situation. as they were responsible for blowing and drift ing snow, which in the most affected areas of the storm had the capability to create temporary white-out conditions. Airports across the eastern seaboard were very attentive of rapidly changing situation. Most, if not all airports, had to delay and cancel flights due to poor visibility. It was practically impos sible for travelers to arrive due to very slippery travel conditions. There was some significant ice accumulation reported, up to a half an inch, as far south as Atlanta, Georgia. The refreezing of surfaces was also a primary concern, as any melting that occurred through out the day likely turned back to ice. Overnight temperatures were bitterly cold, bottoming out in the teens and 20s. Ever since the storm, temperatures have moderated significantly and all signs of winter are now a distant memory. A January thaw is in full force. Prepare to be mystified Sailesh The Hypnotist has been baffling crowds for more than 20 years, performing in more than 5,000 shows around the world. He has shared the stage with many famous musical acts including Motley Criie, Skrillex, Bruno Mars and more. His interactive perfor mances that combine hypnosis, improvisation, music and comedy have won him numerous awards. They include being named Associa tion of the Promotion of Campus Activities’ (APCA) 2014 Hypnotist of the Year and Cam pus Activities Magazines 2016 Entertainer of the Year. Brevard College has had hypnotists perform on campus before, but this is Sailesh’s first time on campus and the Campus Activities Board (CAB) is very excited for the student body to witness an amazing performance. The hypnotist’s show will be at 9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19 at Dunham Hall, but CAB has said that Sailesh will also be in Myers Dining Hall at 6:30 p.m. to help get everyone pumped up for the show. Both CAB and many of the students are look ing forward to this event and they are hoping that the student body will take the time to come out and enjoy the show. Sailesh The Hypnotist
