Ron Zedick, a senior at Gard-
ner-Webb, began cutting hair when
he came to this school as a fresh
man. His father had always cut
his hair when he was small, but
when Ron became a senior in high
school, his father taught him the
art and gave him his clippers tell
ing Ron to learn on the guys at
Ron’s largest number of custom
ers come at the beginning of the
athletic seasons, since the coaches
have the athletes cut their hair at
this time. A usual week sees about
“cutting a few hairs in the back
to get by.” The cut that most men
here get is what Ron terms the
“get by hair cut” — that is, just
enough to get by the G.W. hair
Ron can’t charge for his hair
cuts since he has no license. But
the men do offer donations or he
is paid in various other ways.
Gardner-Webb men like Ron be
cause he cuts their hair just as
they want it, not too much or too
little. He enjoys barbering as a
past-time and says that he can
meet most of the men on campus
in this way.
Hailing from Dillon, South Car
olina, Ron is a senior majoring in
Theatre Arts. He is President of
Delta Psi Omega and plans to go
into Radio and TV work when he
graduates.

“Keep It Clean”
Campaign Held
The winners of the “Let’s Keep
it Clean” trophies for the cleanest
dorms are Decker and Stroup.
“Let’s Keep it Clean” was a na
tional project and Gardner-Webb
was the fore-runner of colleges to
promote the drive.
The Business Club sponsored
the activities for the week of Sep
tember 20-24. Over one hundred
prizes were awarded at random
to Gardner-Webb students who
showed an interest in the project.
Gifts were contributed by busi
nessmen of Boiling Springs and
Shelby in the form of cash, gift
certificates, and prizes. Many stu
dents who wore the badge pro
moting the week, received cash
gifts.
The dorms were judged on Fri
day, September 24, by six judges.
The judges were Mr. Edwards
who is the husband of registrar
Mrs. Dorothy Edwards, Mrs. Poly
Wylie, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Walk
er, and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Malone.
The dorms were judged on the
neatness of the hallways, lounges,
entrances, and yards.
Cecil Van Dyke, the President
of the Business Club, commented
that the attitude of the students
toward the project was “above
average,” and that it is the hope
of the Business Club that the stu
dent body will take pride in their
campus.
Mr. Joe Allen, the faculty ad
visor to the Business Club, stated
that he was “real pleased with
the attitude and cooperation of
the students.” He commented that
“the students take great pride in
their institution and that this is
displayed in their concern for the
campus.”
A series of thirteen 45 minute
color films in the well known

Auditorium.
The first screening each Thurs
day is at 6:45 for the student body
of the college and a second screen

There is something on campus
that everyone passes each day, yet
it is never even noticed. But the
American flag is always flying and
it is there because a GWC student
named Denny Collins cares.
Denny is a Junior from Staun
ton, Virginia, majoring in Physical
Education He is a member of the
track team and is the coach for
Stroup’s Intramural Football team.
Explaining how he got the job,
Denny said he was surprised
when Mr. Poston, Associate Co
ordinator of Student Personnel
Services, stopped him on campus
during the first weeks of his sop
homore year and asked him if he
would be interested in taking care
of the flag. But Denny was wlll-

The films are being made pos
sible by the National Gallery of
Art in Washington under a pro
gram offered through the gallery’s
extension services. In distributing
“Civilization,” the Gallery seeks to
encourage students and citizens to
gain insight into Western civiliza
tion through historical perspective.
Under the program, which be
gan this fall, the films are being
distributed to colleges and univer
sities with fewer than 2,000 under
graduates. Approximatey 400 in

program each year, with an esti

5:00 p.m. Denny is also in charge
of seeing that the flag is raised
during the National Anthem at
each home football game. The flag
is not raised on rainy days, but
any other time it is in its appro
priate place at the top of the flag-
During his first few weeks on
the job, Denny states he left the
flag up until after he had gone to
bed, then remembering it, he had
to get up and go take it down.
Another unusual experience hap
pened in summer school when the
flag was stolen from Denny’s
room. As a result, we were with
out a flag for the first month of
this semester. Senator Jim Broy-

First Dramatic Production
of Season a Success
“The Importance of Being Ernest,” a three act comedy by Oscar
Wilde was presented by the Gardner-Webb Theatre Arts department on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, October 7-9. The two-hour
drama was presented arena style in the O. Max Gardner Fine Arts
Building. The play was first produced at St. James Theatre in London
in 1885, and was recently made into a successful musical, Ernest in Love.
The comedy was directed by Charles W. Cox, chairman of theatre
arts and speech at Gardner-Webb, and the technical director was Terry
R. Hayes. The cast included Stanley Napier, Ron Zedick, Lee Young,
Richard Suttle, Ed Solomon, Alice Pike, Martha Godwin, Joy Mac-
Manus, Charlsie Griffin, and John Byrd.
The actors seemed well-fitted to their parts and played the perfect
role. The characters seemed to be type casted. Napir and Zedick worked
well together and were outstanding in their performances. Napier pre
sented the outlook of a man who is discouraged and up-tight about life.
In contrast to Napier, Zedick was the easy going calm type of person
who takes life in its stride. The facial expressions and actions of both
Napier and Zedick were genuine and convincing. The same is true of
their counter-parts played by Godwin and MacManus. The actresses
were able to display both anger and love in a convincing and appro
priate manner.
The actors successfully initiated the English accent. Although seem
ingly a minor aspect of the plot, it enhansed the total production. An
inaccurate or unnatural use of the dilect could have hindered the play.
However, the cast was natural and the accent seemed to flow easily.
The plot of the play concerns Jack Worthing, played by Napier.
Jack Worthing, in order to escape from his unusual social surroundings,
invents a wild younger brother, Ernest, who captivates Cicely Cardew,
Jack’s ward. Complications result when Jack’s friend, Algernon Mon-
crieff, introduces himself to Cicely as Ernest. The play takes palce in
London in the year 1895.
Wilde’s witty social comments are direct and thought-provoking,
and must be taken in- relation to the age in which they were written. The
play almost becomes a satire except for the completely serious nonsense.
“Theatre-in-the-round” provided a change from the traditional stage
setting. The unique setting in which the audience found themselves made
the viewers feel more a part of the action. Being surrounded on all four
sides could have hampered the acting, but by successfully rotating their
positions the actors remedied the problem. At times it was difficult to
see all the acting, but the audience could always hear the dialogue and
follow the action.
The production was both entertaining and informative, and every
one who attended the play seemed to enjoy themselves. The audience’s
attitude was important to the production in that the actors responded
to the reaction of the viewers.
One viewer commented that he had seen “The Importance of Being
Ernest” years ago at Carson-Newman and that surprisingly he enjoyed
this performance just as much as he had his first viewing. Other com
ments were that the production was “simply funny” and that “knowing
the stars as personal colleagues attributed to the success of the drama.”
