Cordial Welcome Is Extended To College
Students And Faculty As Term Opens
Comments Made
By President
As Brevard college begins the
new term. President Emmett K.
McLarty issues the following
statement to lie included in this
special issue of The Transyl
vania Times:
“The new academic year,
1963 - 1964, is under way at
Brevard college, and the pro
spects are excellent for a good
year.
“396 students in regular stand
ing have been registered, and
in addition to this number there
are several special students tak
ing regular college work. These
figures do not include the many
Brevard people who will be
studying art and music in the
college facilities this year.
“The college personnel is
always impressed and deeply
grateful for the many expres
sions of welcome extended by
individuals and businesses in
the local community. Since
over half of our student body
come from outside North Caro
lina, the reputation of Bre
vard as a warm-hearted com
munity is spreading through
out the nation. In a recent
open house held at the college |
for new and returning stu
dents and their parents, there
were many expressions of com
mendation for the kindness
and hospitality expressed by
the college and community.
Now I wish to add my own ap
preciation to the people of
Brevard for their interest and
support of the college.
“Cities and towns throughout
our State which do not have col
• leges of -their own are realizing
what a great asset an institution
of higher learning is to a com
■ munity. Those on the admini
i station, staff and faculty of the
college confidently believe that
Brevard college is one of the
' very best two-year colleges in
I the nation, and our belief is sup
ported by high school counselors
and four-year college admissions
offices throughout the nation.
“35 of the present student
body are day students, mean

mediate area and commute to
college. One third of tlie grad

Draft Board
Is Wanting
Information
Local Board No. 89 of the
Selective Service system for
Transylvania county requests
that all registrants who are
married and living with their
wives in a bona fide family
relationship report this fact
immediately to them, if they
have not done so.
A recent executive order
issued by President Kennedy
places these registrants in a
lower order of selection for
Armed Forces physical exami
nation and induction at the
present time.
An announcement of a reg
istrant’s marriage published
in a newspaper is not enough
evidence for the local board.
It must be reported by him
personally. Immediate atten
tion to this matter should be
given.
The local board office is lo
cated in the basement of the
post office in Brevard. The
telephone number is 883-2155.
