Dolce, Andrew Hopper, Chad Maddox, Bill Parks, Kevin Walter, Andrew White Stacy Stanley Business Manager Printed by Shelby Printing Remembering our Christian heritage Homecoming is the most exciting week end of the academic year. The weather has just begun to get good and cold, toilet paper is at the ready, school spirit is usually at an all-time high, and, this year, we get to play our long time conference rival, Lenoir-Rhyne. Homecoming is also a time to remember our roots, something The Pilot has been trying to do with our “A Lx)ok Back” column in our past issues and with our special homecoming section in this issue. The 1993 Homecoming Queen will be the first Gardner-Webb Univer sity Homecoming Queen. This is significant because it marks one of the many milestones that Gardner-Webb has achieved throughout the years. Who would have believed way back when local folks began Boiling Springs High School that it would turn into the fine institution which is now Gardner-W ebb University. Through its varying incarnations, as a high school, junior college, four year college, and now university, Gardner-Webb has managed to keep its dedi cation to providing a strong liberal arts educa tion to its students, without compromising its position as a Christian campus providing an environment for spiritual growth as well as intellectual advancement. Times do change, but hopefully Gardner- Webb’s commitment to the spiritu^ needs of its students does not. We have come a long way from having dating rules, no visitation, and absolutely no dances. We are by no means liberal in our campus codes though, and that is what distinguishes Gardner-Webb from other schools. Without Christian values, Gardner- Webb becomes just another degree mill. Gardner-Webb will most assuredly go through countless changes in the years to come - that is progress. Hopefully, when the ‘94 graduates trek back to Gardner-Webb in years to come, it will still be an institution that stubbornly holds on to the Christian heritage which it was founded for 87 years ago by men and women who felt there was a need for a school for their children that cared for souls, as well as minds.

What do you think of the cafete ria food? I think breakfast is great, but I would rather eat at my mom's for every other meal. Allen Wesson Food? What food? They serve food there? Could've fooled me. Phil Polaski Dramatic improvement since my freshman year, but I still ate better in the Army. Lettters to the Editor Gus on Dimensions I hate to beat a dead horse, but once more I must attack the concept of Dimensions, or should I say Dimension. Dimension is still lacking in cultural diversity. It is the practice of megalomania or even worse it is a facade, a fiasco. It is the asinine assertion that GWU can assimilate those stu dents who do not hold the beliefs of the half witted hierarchy that we have here at this "supposed house of knowledge that we know as Gardener-Webb. Fear not friends and fellow students for I shall attempt to foil the ongoing farce that Dimensions delivers to us culture. We all know that this concept contains more comedy than truth. One speaker nearly drove me to a startling state of unattractive catalytic upchuck with his subjective views of Christianity ver sus New Age beliefs. His tainted view totally turned me off Now that I have bombarded you with a barrage of my stylistic skills of script in which I deliver my debonair display of all to clever alliteration and assonance. I will now propose a proper Dimensions plan that I shall call a descendant of decency. Article I. As well as religious speakers, we shall have speakers who do not always talk about religion. We must remember that there are also students here who may be of a differ ent nationality than the rest of us. Who are we to force the ways of the West on them? Article 2. Plays and recitals shall also be a part of Dimensions credit Article 3. There should be at least 10 members of the Dimensions committee who are stu- I feel that lunch is good, but there needs to be serious improvements with the dinner menu. Donna McClintock They ought to rename it "The Roadkill Cafe" ... The food quality has declined so dramati cally from last year that it isn't even funny.

If they were then you would only have one "dimension" represented. Article 4. Optional: The Catalyst should have a guest speaker spot at all Dimensions.
