PAGE 2 THE PILOT NOVEMBER 5, 1965 State Baptist Convention Meets Nov. 15-18 “Will North Carolina Bap tists grant additional Coopera tive Program support to i t s seven church-supported col leges?” Insight into this question will be given in a preliminary re port at the State Baptist Con- V e n ti on November 15-18 in Charlotte. In the 1964 session two pro posals which would have en abled the colleges to obtain fur ther financial assistance were soundly defeated. Choosing not to leave the door completely closed, the Convention appoint ed a committee of 28 members to m,ake a study, which would last a year or longer, of futurs development plans of the col leges. The Chairman of the committee is James Cammack, pastor of the Snyder Memorial Baptist Church in Fayetteville.,- The committee has already had several preliminary meetings, one of which was held at Win gate Junior College. Here col lege presidents met and pre sented the future needs of their colleges. Phi Thetta Kappa Builds Character “Mr. Chairman, Honorable Judge, Worthy Opponents.. Research, Practice - Finally Come the Awaited Tournaments by Brenda Haiiser ‘ ‘Resolved: that law enforce ment agencies in the United States should be given greater Freedom in the investigation and prosecution of crime.” Such are the words being heard in classroom practice sessions of Gardner - Webb’s 1965-1966 debating teams. At this time, plans have been made for first semester tournaments with Anderson,. Junior College (and possibly Wingate), Appa lachian, Wake Forest College, and the University of Georgia. Dr. C. Allen Burris, coach, has led the debating force in a very important preliminary procedure before deciding to go to debate ■ - that of studying both sides of the query logically attempting to understand affir mative and negative points. Equipped with at least a basic understanding of points involv ed, team members are now ready to face opposition. Re turning from last year to com pose the varsity team are John Logan, Ellenboro; Pollyanna Hester, Marion; Amanda Jen kins Cliffside; Brenda Haus er, Winston-Salem'. Of great present and future potential are novice debaters Jane Carpen ter, Ellenboro; Jim Ballach, Greenville, S. C.; Peggy Jones, Cary; and Rita Andrews, Boil ing Springs. Although G.-W.’s debaters may “rip each other to shreds” in classroom sessions, it is es tablished code now that evi dence helpful to “the other side’ is shared—an atmosphere of overall cooperation is ex pected and is present. Thus, equipped with insight into the query, under competent lead ership with capable, coopera tive, and enthusiastic debaters, the forensics facet of varsity sports looks forward to an outstanding year for Gardner-. Webb College. That, Mr. Chair man, is my final contention in this debate. h WANDA . . . better known as “SUck’ entertains the girls with her guitar.

TAYLOR . . . and members of Phi Theta Kappa review To Kill A Mockingbird Members of Phi Theta Kap pa, a national junior college honorary scholastic society, held a meeting September 28 at the home of President Steve Poston. Mr'. James Taylor met with the group along with its sponsor. Dr. Allen Burris, to lead in a discussion of To Kill A Mockingbird, a novel by Har per Lee. One of the projects of the group is to read and discuss som,e work of literature at each of its monthly meetings. The October meeting will feature a discussion of the Communist Manifesto. The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa, according to its consti tution, is “. . . to promote scholarship, to develop charac ter, and to cultivate fellowship among the students of both sexes of the junior colleges of the United States ...” Its members are chosen because they possess the qualifications of good moral character, citi- zenhip, and leadership as well as a high scholastic standing. by Susan Praytor Recently posters and an nouncements have made public the plans of two organizations on our campus, the Baptist Stu dent Union and the Christian Volunteer Band. The following will tell briefly about both or ganizations : The key word of the, BSU is ENVOLVEMENT. Its purpose is to engage students in relig ious and recreational activities on campus, and to unite stu dents with the church of their choice. The BSU also provides services in which a student may participate. For instance, on each Monday night at 6:30, a 15-minute Vesper service is held in the Hamrick auditorium; on Wednesday night a college prayer meeting is held at the Boiling Springs Baptist Church with Reverend T. Max Linnens presiding. These are only a part of the programs the BSU has planned, for on November 5th, 6th, and 7th the State Fall Convention will be held at the Myers Park Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is a tim,e for inspiration, fellow ship, and instruction in theolo gy. On February 10, 1966, the Sweetheart Banquet will be held. Details on this event will be announced later. In March, Gardner-Webb hopes to send a boys and girls basketball team to Wake Forest to the BSU tournaments. If you are inter ested in this please contact Ted Armstrong or Cynthia Ham rick, and if you wish for more information on any of the phases of the BSU, you may see Margaret Moore, President; Blaine Davis, Vice President; Pollyanna Hester, Secretary. The CVB is a unit organiza tion of the BSU. The CVB offi cers are, as follows: President, Don Ledbetter; Secretary, Mar ty Suddreth; Trea.surer, Harold Caldwell; Sponsor, Mr. Thomas Ballard. The organization has many purposes; first, it gives to Christians the chance to serve God in any way possible; second, to give one experience in Christian s_ervice, such as in teaching Sunday School, wit nessing, preaching; third, to install with the members a keen desire to give God “all” of his life; fourth, to inspire Chris tians to grow in spirit day by day. In the near future the CVB plans to vsit the Ozark Baptist Mission in Gastonia, and Pat terson Grove, Kings Mountain. They also will visit in the homes for the aged, the Shelby jail, and do other church work in the surrounding areas.
