Professor Mosely is shown above demonstrating the sensitivity of
the Geiger Counter. A luminous dial watch, held near the Gieger tube,
causes the counter to react. The Geiger Counter is one of the seven
panels secured by Gardner-Webb from the Oak Ridge Atomic Energy
Museum.
The exhibit created a
great deal of interest at the fair.
Mr. Mosely plans to build a Geiger
Counter for the future Gardner-
Webb science department.
Mr. Mosely likes Gardner-Webb
very much. He says the atmosphere
of the college, the attitude of both
faculty and students is friendly and
Christian. Gardner-Webb is very
fortunate to have a man like Mr.
Mosely on its faculty and the PILOT
welcomes him to our staff.

Mr. Mosely Heads
Chemistry Department
By Grace Nielsen
Mr. M. A. Mosely, head of the Gardner-Webb College
chemistry department, has been elected faculty advisor of
the PILOT. Mr. Mosely was, as we all know, “born and reared
in Cowpens, South Carolina.” His father was a farmer and a
banker, so Mr. Mosely lived “half on the farm and half in
town.” If you have ever heard Mr. Mosely tell about racing
Model-T’s, going hunting and fishing, and trying all sorts of
crazy inventions in “the good old days” you know that he
was a real boy that loved life and made most of it. He gradu-
from Cowpens High School and —
attended Wofford College, ‘
Lson College, the University of
North Carolina and received his
graduate degree from North Caro
lina State College. He worked his
way through college as student as
sistant in chemistry and as assis-
teacher in chemistry in gradu-
school. Mr. Mosely was Head
Chemist for a Pharmaceutical firm
teach. He taught at Furman Uni
versity for two years and came to
Gardner-Webb College in 1950.
Mr. Mosely married Emily Deary-
bury in 1949. He always makes his
chemistry classes so hungry telling
about the delicious dinners Mrs.
Mosely cooks for him. when I ask
ed Mrs. Mosely if there was any
thing special Mr. Mosely likes, she
said, “Oh, he likes lemon pie, ba
nana pudding, cherry cobbler—well,
just food and plenty of it!” Mr. and
Mrs, Mosely live in the brick apart
ments and students are always wel-
ime to come up and see them.
Mr. Mosely is very interested in
sports. He was manager of the foot
ball team in school and took a great
deal of Interest in the Legion base-
team at home. You always see
hear) him at all of Gardner-
Webb’s games and last year he was
elected an honorary member of the
Monogram Club of Gardner-Webb
Mr. Mosely’s goal is for Gardner-
Webb to have a science department
“second to none,” We have quite a
f new equipment this year and
looking forward to having fa
cilities for organic chemistry next
year. The new equipment will in
clude electroplating apparatus, a
step-down transformer, an induc
tion coil, new chemical balances,
vacuum apparatus, electron tubes,
locks on the desks, a new, modern
demonstration desk, new stools, and
general laboratory apparatus and
glassware. The science department
hopes to soon secure a telescope in
order to give a cultural course in
astronomy so the students may come
have a more personal knowledge
some of the wonders God has
All the college science courses are
filled to capacity this year. A new
course, one in general physics, is
being offered this year. Mr. Mose
ly says, “We are already in a scien-
age and we’re going into a
scientific age.” He urges all
students, boys and girls alike, to be
interested in and learn more about
science for “Who knows?” he says,
“You may be another Madam Curie
‘ ' another Einstein!”
In the Cleveland County Pair this
year, Gardner-Webb featured charts
on nuclear physics and demonstrat
ed the Geiger Counter. The Gieger
Counter determines the concentra
tion of alpha and beta rays given
off by radioactive substances. It
consists of the Geiger tube, through
which the rays pass, and ' " '

So that we could start this year
off right. House Presidents were
elected before the end of school last
year for Decker Hall and the Girls
Home. Hall Proctors were also pick
ed by the Student Government.
Remembering how we felt last
year as freshmen, the Student Gov
ernment was waiting at Gardner-
Webb to help welcome the fresh
men, On September 11 a party for
:chc freshmen was sponsored by the
Student Government, The B. S. U.
and the Student Government to
gether sponsored a tea on Septem
ber 15 welcoming both the fresh
men and those returning as sopho-
The student Government is look
ing forward to a good year, and
I’.opes that each student will co
operate to the best of his ability.
