Sandi Ojelm, Junior: "I really
don’t like the idea of it. I
don’t want to see another

Shelley Thornton, Senior: "I’m
not familiar enough with cill
the facts to make a judgement
at this time."
Cynthia Newman, Junior: "I
think we oughta stop sticking
our i noses into things for
a change.”
Miriaiti Ash-Jones, Media
Librarian: "I don’t like our
involvement in the Persian
Gulf. I feel we are overstep
ping our boundaries."
Melissa Whitlow, Junior: "I
don t know what I think about
it. "
Flounder Pounder, Sophomore:
"I’m a pacifist so naturally I
am against it. However, loo
king back, Vietnam did influ
ence some of the best rock-
roll ever. I think that the
Persian Gulf affciir could have
the same effect."

Tanya Taylor, Sophomore: "I
think with all the good
President Reagaxi has done that
any decision he makes will be
a wise one.”
Beverly Wilson, Senior: "I’m
not sure I totally agree, but
I think someone should do
something. Things have gotten
so out of hand we need to be
acting as a national police."
Brad Smith, Senior: "It’s
important to keep good rela
tions because we need their
oil. Other than the oil, I
think we should blow them off
the map."
Debbie Steadman, Senior: "It’s
not in my biology book, so I
don't know anything about it."
Todd Watijon, Senior: "I think
it is necessciry. The reason
being that we have to keep the
free flovi of oil to our al
lies. A failure to do so will
weciken our alliance witli NATO
and Japan."
David Baldwin, Freshman: "In
my opinion, we should be over
there protecting our interests
in the Persian Gulf. ,
let’s go in and kill ’em all.”
Bettina Long, Junior: ”I think
that our ruling actor probably
doesn’t even remember that
we’re in there, so unless we
want to experience an extreme
ly chaotic situation, we
should probably hold off any
important military decisions
until we get a real
President."

There is a program here at
Gardner-Webb that deserves a
little recognition for its im
portance to the college and
the conimunity. This program is
called practicum. It involves
students of the foreign lan
guage department who go to the
local elementary schools to
offer the young students a
head start on lefirning a sec
ond language. The program was
begun several years ago when a
student, Beth Robinson, deci
ded she wanted to practice
teaching children French. She
taught at West Cleveland two
days a week for no credit. Now
the program has grown and par
ticipants receive two hours
credit for their work. Both
French and Spanish are taught
by G.W. students in the ele
mentary schools. Students in
volved in the program are gra
ded on lesson plans, written
critiques, and meeting atten
dance .
In class the children plciy
games, look at pictures, and
sing songs to learn the new
language. Very little English
is used, so visual elements
are important for understan
ding.
Presently, several students
are teaching French at West-
Cleveland Elementary School
and a section of Spanish is
offered for the first year by
Teri Hernandez. Charles
Vaughan and others are putting
practicum into effect at
Boiling Springs Elementary
School. These schools benefit
from the program in that the
Basic Education Plan will re
quire all elementary schools
to offer a secondary language
in grades K-5 within a few
years. Practicum is then a
head start for the partici-
paiiing ^hpols.
