Saplambw 2S. 1980 Dewberry Gets Abbey Cage Grant The Southwestern Conference Player of the Year in women’s basketball has received a grant- in-aid to attend Belmont Abbey College. Traci Dewberry, a 1980 graduate of Chase High School of Forest City, will be a member of the first intercollegiate women’s basketball team at the College. The team, which will be in developmental stages during the 1980-81 basketball season, is under the direction of Coach Tony Baldwin, former assistant women’s basketball coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Baldwin comments, “Traci is an exceptionally talented athlete who I feel will make a tremen dous contribution to both our women’s athletic program and the College’s campus life as well. ‘Traci will fit in very well with our team concept and can pro vide us strong support at the guard position,” he continued. “Our program is indeed for tunate to have gained this young lady’s decision.” . In her senior year at Chase, Traci averaged 21 points per game, 5 assists and 6 steals. She received the Most Valuable Player award, and was named to the All Southwestern Con ference Team and First Team All Area. In addition, she was named the Southwestern Conference Athlete of the Y ear in women’s track, and was named the Most Valuable Player on her track team for three consecutive years. She was a member of the all con ference track team during her sophomore, junior and senior years at Chase as welt. Baldwin’s young squad is scheduled to kick off its 19-game season on November 19 with a home opener against the junior varsity squad from the Universi ty of North Carolina at Chapel Hill G-W Held Fail Convocation Last Thursday Boiling Spring*. N.C.-Gardner-Webb College of ficially opened the 1980 academic semester with a formal Fall Convocation program in Bost Gymnasium at 9:30 a.m. Thursday. During the program, president Craven E. Williams presented academic scholarships to eight Presidential Scholars and recognized the recipients of the coveted Spangler Leadership Award. Academic Cabinet member Dr. George Cribb an nounced the freshman, sophomore and junior scholastic achievement award winners; and Dr. John Bevan academic vice- president at the College of Charleston addressed the stu dent body on the issue of what it means to be a liberal arts college in a day of increasing vocational interests and specializations. He also spoke about human values. “It is the opinion of many social scientists today that in the short decades ahead there must be a huge re-evaluation of the goals and values of our socie ty and that it will be in our universities where such a re- evaluation will take place. 1 agree with their conclusion about the need for a complete re- evaluation of goals and values of our society; but 1 find little supi- port for the hypothesis that it will be accomplished in our universities. There is little evidence that our major univer sities have turned to look in a new direction let alone corn- template a new awareness. Their traditions and structures destine them to tunnel vision at a time when broad vision is needed. There are certain institutions whose traditions make them par ticularly sensitive and increasing ly responsive to this challenge. These institutions are the church-related colleges,” Bevans stated. Dr. Bevan has held positions at the University of Florida, Florida Presbyterian College (now Eckerd College), Heidelberg College, Duke University and Davidson Col lege. He was a Cullum Scholar and received the North Carolina Governor’s Award for Contribu tions to Higher Education. Several students received academic honor awards during the Fall Convocation program.

Miss McNeely, a graduate of Berea High School in Greenville has received the American Legion Good Citizen ship Award, the DAR History Essay Award, the Outstanding English Award and the Outstan ding Home Economics Student Award. Dr. Craven E. Williams, recognized eight students to receive the Presidential Scholar Awards, named in honor of former presidents of the college.
