IN MY OPINION....
An Extension of High School—No!
How many of you thought that Gaston College would be
grade 13—high school? I did, until I met the professors. They
hastily assured me that just because GCC is a new institu
tion, doesn’t mean the instructors are new at teaching. They
Avere asked to come here because of their outstanding ability
in this field and we, as students, are extremely fortunate.
So let’s get it in our heads that WE ARE in college and
start acting like it!—BMc

There seems to be some questions in regard to the attendance
policies of Gaston College, and I have been asked to clarify them
for you.
Each student is permitted to miss as many as three class hours
without penalty (three meetings of a fifty minute class, two meet
ings of an eighty minute class). L^nexcused absences in excess of
the allotted number will subject the student to an appropriate loss
of quality points.
Students who miss class because of serious illness (verified by
a physician’s note), bereavement, or for equally important reasons,
should bring' the matter to my attention if they wish that the
absence not be included among the three class hours permissible.
Attendance in class when announced tests are given is especially
important. In the event that you do miss such a test you should see
me to g' ( pei iiiission to arrange with your iastructor for a make-up
test. Please note, however, that this does not apply to “pop” tests
or quizzes. Policies in regard to the latter will be determined by the
individual instructors.
In closing, I should like to emphasize that regular class atten
dance is highly important and I urge you to attend every one of
your classes and laboratories if at all possible.

The Gaston College buildings are almost completed. Most of the
cem.ent is dry and most of the windows are in. In the science building,
sinks, tables, cabinets and faucets have already been installed. Grass
seed has been sown on the front campus and best of all—the parking
lot (without meters) has been leveled.
GCC Provides
Olympics
Twice a week, Gaston College
students set the stage for exciting
athletic events, taking place at
the “Y.” (It’s P. E.)! These su
perb athletes are divided into two
groups; those who don’t tak° to
water like ducks, and those who
do.
Group No. 1 reports to the gym
(this should be fun). Here they
will be exposed to such things as
volleyball, basketball, tumbling,
trampoline, and badminton, under
the leadership of Mr. Neally and
Mrs. Campbell. After a biief(?)
warm up session, the students pro
ceed to tackle the game of volley
ball, (and I mean tackle). Many
have mastered the game, others are
trying their darndest, while some
are fighting desperately to get an
arm out of the net. It is fun.
While Group No. 1 is keeping
the volleyball off the ground, those
in Group No. 2 may be struggling
to keep their heads above water.
This, of course, is one of the swim
ming classes. Under the watchful
eve of Charlotte Whitesides, these
Gas-Light Goes
Over
The first edition of the GAS
LIGHT was so well received by
students and faculty, that a second
attempt at publication was asked
for.
Students were asked to volun
teer any spare time they might
have to help find information,
write, type, lay-out and do other
odd jobs that will aid in getting
the paper to press.
Or. Tuesday, October 6th, stu
dents met in the “books:ore" to
discuss possibilities for the second
edition. This is only a tentative
staff and others who are interested
arc asked to leave their names
with Mr. Bruce Trammell.
students are tav.ght how to adapt
themselves to a wet environment.
No one has gone down with the
ship. . . yet. She also instructs
those who know how to swim, help
ing them to improve their skills.
These groups alternate from
class to class, and everyone does
have a. good time, thanks to the
fine instructors. Well, that’s P. E.
... on to the Olympics, gang!
