SPRING SEMESTER REGISTRATION MONDAY
Baptist Magazine
Announces Student
Writer's Contest
THE BAPTIST STUDENT, Christian collegiate magazine, has announced its 1959 student Writers'
Contest, which will consist of two
categories:^ (1) articles and short
Tories, and (2) poems and devo-
tionals.
"Entries need not necessarily be
religious in nature, states Dr. G.
Kearnie Keegan, Student Department secretary and editor of the
magazine. "They may be light or
serious, but should be slanted primarily toward student readers."
Awards in the article and short
story category will begin at $50,
while the highest award for poetry and devotional entries will be
$25. The deadline is set at April,
1959. Judging will be based on originality, writing technique, content, depth and insight, organization and development of ideas, interest and readability.
Assembly Speakers
Heard By Students
Mr. R. E. Matthews, bead of the
March of Dimes drive in Transylvania county, was the guest speaker in assembly on December 10.
Mr. Matthews addressed the student body on the aims of this
year's March of Dimes and also
showed a film demonstrating the
urgent need for additional funds
to help not only polio victims but
those suffering from birth defects
and other crippling diseases.
The dean of women, Miss Ruby
Plant, spoke to the Brevard student body during the chapel service on Wednesday, January 15.
The purpose of her talk was to
help the students understand that
their actions now and the way in
which they .perform their duties at
the present will have a far-reaching effect on the rest of their
lives.
In the Friday assembly on January 17, Dean John B. Bennett
gave a unique synopsis of world
events during the past year and
exhorted the student body to have
courage during the trials of exam
week and, above all, not to concede
defeat when the "going gets
rough."
