Performs
The Gardner-Webb Choral
Clinic presented their annual
concert Tuesday, at Boiling
Springs Baptist Church.
Dr. Eugene Simpson, a
nationally known clinician
from Glassboro State in'
New Jersey conducted the
combined choral groups.
The program was flavored
with a Bicentermial theme.
It consisted of three popular
American works: Charles
Ives’ “Psalm 90,” Howard
Hanson’s “Song of Demo
cracy” (a poem by Walt
Whitman), and the classic
“Battle Hymn of the Re
public,” arranged by Peter
J. Wilhousky.
The Gardner-Webb choral
groups were assisted on the
“Battle Hymn of the Re
public,” by selected local
high school groups.
This is the fifth year that
the choral clinic has been
held. Dr. Phil Perrin of the
Music Department ex
plained that the purpose of
the clinic is “to give our stu
dents an opportimity to ex
perience the great, large cho
ral works of each period of
music history.”
A concert for the spring
semester is being planned.

for the salaries of faculty
members. Salaries are some
what below the national
average. Not only do salaries
need to meet the average
and stay with or above it,
but senior faculty need to be
rewarded for many years of
service.
The second aim of the ca-
paign is entitled “new con
struction needs”. The four
buildings proposed total ap
proximately $4,000,000.
The special events build
ing, costing $2.5 million, is
to be used for various activi
ties of the college, such as
large religious, cultural, and
athletic events. It is to be
large enough to hold a
gathering of both the Gard-
ner-Webb student body,
faculty, and staff, and the
public.
The residence hall com

planned of modular con

Bicentennial Program Begins
ssE^iEiirTr
Recently, a Bicentennial
program was approved for
Gardner-Webb in conjunc
tion with Cleveland County
as part of the North Carolina
Humanities Committee ac
tivities. Dr. Tony Eastman,
a history professor here, is
head of Cleveland County’s
“community action
forums.”
The community action
forums are town meetings in
which various topics will be
discussed. The topics will
come under the main topic of
the relationship of today’s
society to the principles of
the Declaration of Indepen
dence, entitled “Life, Li
berty, and the Pursuit of
Happiness.”
The discussions are de
signed to make people more
aware of governmental prob
lems today and help them to
find solutions to the prob
lems. Persons who have
studied the philosophical
side of the Declaration will
be a part of the 12 town
meetings. Topics will be dis
cussed in relation to the lo
cal etnd national levels.
Five main topics will be
discussed under the larger
topic of “Life, Liberty, and
the Pursuit of Happiness.”
The first is “All Men Are
Created Equal.”
The first sub-topic under
“All Men Are Created
Equal” is “Health: Right or
Privilege?” Some of the
questions to be discussed
are: what is the promise or
threat of National Health
Insurance? Is Cleveland
County giving the best med
ical care available to all peo
ple, no matter their eco
nomic status?
The second sub-topic is
“Education: Ri^t, Privi
lege, Obligation?” The main
issue will be the role of na
tional and local government
in education and whether
they should be involved at
