DELPHIAN PLEDGES stroll hand in hand across Brevard College
campus during rush week. 15
Delphian, Nemo Pledges
Undergo Initiation Here
By Joye Jones
Amidst the everyday life at
Brevard College, during the
week of September 6-11, you
could hear the screaming and
yelling of future Delphians and
Nemos. For many pledges this
was a long and tedious week;
for others, however, it was fun
and exciting.
The Nemo Mamas decided
what they would make their
pledges do for initiation. You
heard the echoes of girls pro
testing against some of the
things they had to do: they
couldn’t wear make-up (which
to some was unbearable),
couldn’t shave their legs, had
to ask the boys for unusual
things, had to wear boys’ cloth
ing, wash carsv and clean their
Mamas’ rooms. But all in all
it was worth it.
The boys pledging for Del
phians seemed to have gone
through a little bit more; they
had to dress as women or “red
necks,” to wash and wax cars,
and to go and get food for their
Masters. Pledges had to stand
near the pond daring people
to push them in. Friday night,
September 10, Delphian Masters
took their pledges blindfolded
up their
own way back to campus. One
of the main events was the
“Poxer Rebellion,” which start
le! with forty - five pledges,

with numbers written on their
chests with shoe polish. As they
left from Green basement
in boxer shorts and tennis
shoes, they went behind Jones
around Beam and behind Jones
again, then out to the soccer
field to pick up the can that had
the numbers that were on their
chests.
Wednesday night, September
8, was the night of the ritual.
This included the kissing line,
where all pledges had to line
up and the boys had to kiss all
the Nemo pledges and vice-ver
sa. Then all Delphians and Ne
mos sat around the pond as
skits were presented by the
pledges. Candles were put in
the pond, symbolizing each
pledge. The final event of the
ritual was the pond party.
Saturday, September 11, en
ded pledge week, as many stay
ed in the showers for hours.
The Nemo Mamas and Delphian
Masters felt that pledge week
should end with a tremendous
mud fight for all pledges. Mud
was flying in many directions; it
was received by the pledges with
wide eyes and open mouths. As
the fight'came to a close, every
one went to t}ie creek to rinse
off the mud.
kemos now have fifty
new members, which brings the
club to a total of eighty mem
bers. The main purpose of the
club is to do services for col
lege and community. Their goal
is to finance a Valentines
Dance. Members are to pay five
dollar dues, which goes for the
benefit of the club. Nemos do
proiccts such as clean out the
p«nd (which the Nemo Mamas
did at the beginning of fall se
re'ter), held bake sales, and
wa-h car?. Nemos plan al^o to
re-decorate the kitchen in Jones.

Many Bicycle
Thefts, Chief
Of Police Says
Brevard’s Police Chief J.
C. Rowe has stated that an
alarming number of bicycle
thefts have occurred in the
Brevard area in recent weeks.
“Any bicycle that is left
unguarded for even a short
while seems to be a prime
target of these youthful of
fenders, particularly those
that are left lying in front
yards overnight,” Chief Rowe
stated.
lie reminds all bicycle own
ers to be extremely careful
where they leave their bi
cycles, and to be certain to
put them in garages, or in
some protected shelter over
night.
“If bicycles are taken care
of properly when they are
not in use, and if they are
not in use, and if they are not
left lying around carelessly,
then they will not be a temp
tation for some youngster to
ride off on”, he warned.

The Children's Bookshelf
-By
DR. JOSEPHINE J. CURTG
“Theres enough violence in
the world without my adding
to it,” Ernest Raboff, creator
of the Arts for Children' series,
writes. Other authors of chil
dren’s books seem to share his
philosophy, for of the dozen
books on my desk to be re
viewed, only one reflects vio
lence and terror. And to one
who has read thousands of
children’s books, this is a hope
ful trend toward better and
more lasting literature for the
young reader.
Though the first events of
“Pilyo the Piranha”, by Jose
Aruego (Macmillan, 1971,
$4.95), lead one to believe that
violence and bloodshed are in
evitable, subsequent incidents
prove the reader wrong. Pilyo
the Piranhas knows a trick or
two when it comes to hunting
prey. For weeks he has kept a
watchful eye on the sloth that
is always asleep. But, Pilyo
the predator becomes Pilyo the
protector as the story progres
ses.
In a war of wits, Pilyo pre
vents a boa constrictor, a ja
guar, and a harpy eagle from
devouring the sleeping sloth.
His many ruses and cleaver
manipulations make the sloth
his — his to protect, not his to
eat.
A witty and colorfully - il
lustrated narrative, “Pilyo the
Piranha” has an implicit mes
sage for the 6-to-10-year-old:
“oven natural enemies can
Jive in harmony if the respon
sibility for survival is shared.”
—☆—
In relating the Comanche
struggle to drive the white
man from the Oklahoma Terri
tory in 1874, Jeanne Williams
plays down the bloody bat
tles and narrates the moving
story of a young Comanche
torn between the desire to be
a great warrior and the need
to help the children and the
aged of his tribe to survive
heartbreak’’- g hardships.
Filled with pathes, conflict,
and suspense, “New Medicine,”
by Miss Williams (G. P. Put
nam’s Sons, 1971, $4.95), gives
much insight into the rituals,
the beliefs, and the customs
of a proud people. It also draws
the reader into the mind of a
young boy whose struggle to
overcome the stigma of being
the least - favored son of the
great Comanche chief, Spring
Bull, is compounded by the
scorn of older warriors and the
determination to find the “new
medicine” or wisdom to lead
his people after the deaths of
his father and brother.
Walker, the Comanche here,
finds the “new medicine” and
shows that the Indian can adapt
to the ways of the White Man
without surdndering his ident
ity.
Skillfully and without un
due sentiment), author Williams
portrays the fear, the super
stition, and the hardship of the
Indian while providing the
