THE PILOT Campus Big Wheels i I. Harvey Cannon By CHARLES F. McMANUS One person always sure to he on the entertainment for any banquet is Harvey Cannon. With a deep bass voice that is “swoonful” enough to be the envy of all men, he is well qualified as an aid to the digestion of a satisfying meal. Just as an after thought, one might add that his voice is an indispensable part of the Gardner-Webb male quartet which has built an enviable repu tation for itself over the past two years. Just as though a good voice wasn’t enough, Mr. Cannon is blessed witt handsome features such as girls seem to like. Anyway, Merry appears to enjoy having such a handsome skating instructor. People who know Harvey remem ber that he appeared in the pro duction “Death Takes A Holiday” in a leading role but they may not be aware that he is also a member of the Radio Club, Delta Psi Omega dramatics fraternity and the Inter national Relations Club. He also has been a member of the college choir. In between times, he works in the cafeteria and acts as the as sistant circulation manager of The Pilot. Historical facts disclose that on the thirteenth day of February, 1933, in the town of Lenoir, N. C., Rev. and Mrs. Boyd Cannon were able to announce the event of Harvey’s birth. During his high school days Har vey also chalked up an impressive record and it is easy to see why he received a medal for being the “Best All-round Boy” his senior year. Some of the more prominent high lights in high school were: president of the 4-H Club his junior and senior years. Chief Marshal, junior year, treasurer of freshman class at Shelby H’gh, President of Junior Class at No. 3 Township High, Shel by. member of Shelby High School Glee Club for two years, winner of four declamation contests and “The Clyde R. Hoey Oratorical Contest” held here at Gardner-Webb. As an all-round man should have, Harvey has several hobbies such as baseball and fishing. He proved to be an asset to the Shelby Ameri can Legion Baseball Club. Gardner-Webb will lose a vital part of its student body upon the graduation of Harvey Cannon. Cathy Prince Gardner-Webb is indebted to Thomasville, N. C. for this months Big Wheel, Catherine Prince, bet ter known as “Cathy.” For some strange reason Cathy cannot under stand why she was chosen to this post, so let’s take a look at the rea- “In high school,” and this is a direct quotation, “I didn’t do too much, because I changed schools.” Kevertheless, Cathy was President of her sophomore class, a cheerleader, played a clarinet in the band, was a member of the Dramatics club, Glee club and F.H.A., and was on the newspaper staff. This gift of gab, which comes natural to Cathy, paid off in High school; she won several speaking contests. With a background such as this, you could expect Cathy to become a personality on our campus. She currently holds the positions of Vice President of the Student Govern ment, Active Marshal, Who’s Who in American Colleges, Chief Cheer leader, and hold offices in the Delta Psi Omega and Sigma Phi Alpha fraternities. For these and other reasons, she was chosen as a senior superlative. With all this, is it any wonder that she never gets to class on time? It’s not that she’s tardy, the time just passes before she gets There are a lot of favorites on Cathy’s list — Blue, Psychology, shrimp, and Mr. Hamrick and Dr. Dyer. One of Cathy’s favorite past- times is sewing, and you only need one look to see that she’s quite adept at it. Another hidden talent she possesses is cooking. The great outdoors has a certain charm to Cathy, also. Her favorite sport is football, and she loves to play ten nis. Probably the most outstanding interest Cathy has, is people. Even if they are few, Cathy has d'slikes. The strongest is conceited people, second is math. Currently, Cathy is working on a part in the forthcoming Dramatic production. You who are sopho mores remember her role last year in “Garden of the Moon,” and this year she was a student director of “Death Takes a Holiday.” Cathy has plans for the future but you’ll have to ask her about them. That culinary technique should be put to a test though. . . "Capt." Henson says: In keeping with the paper’s policy of printing the latest news on the armed forces which would be of in- ■ erest to the student, this weeks column is devoted to the Selective Serv-ce Program and its relation to ccllege stuaents. This information is the latest scoop from National Headquarters, Selective Service Sys- Major General Lewis B. Hershey, Director of Selective Service, has Ltated on a number of occasions that new regulations, which will substan- ialiy lighten the deferment cri teria by raising the standards, are in the process of formulation be cause the limited manpower sup ply no longer justifies deferment of so many students and because veterans are now returning in suf ficient numbers to take the places of college students drafted. The G. I. Bill of Rights provides gener ous financial assistance to veterans just entering college or who had their college careers interrupted by service in the armed forces and who re-enter after completion of their active duty obligations. Regulations are issued by executive order of The President. The present criteria for considera tion for deferment as a student are either a score of 70 or better on the Selective Service College Qualifi cation Test or class standing among the male members in the upper half of the freshman class, upper two- thirds of the sophomore class or upper three-fourths of the junior class. Seniors accepted for admis sion to a graduate school satisfy the criteria if they are among the upper half of the male members of their senior class, or if they make a score of 75 or better. Students al ready enrolled in graduate schools may be considered for deferment so long as they remain in good stand ing. Presumably, these criteria will be tightened “all up and down the line.” The criteria 'are guides for the local boards. The local boards are under no compulsion to follow them, but any local board classification is subject to appeal. The appeal must be filed in writing with the local board within 10 days of the date the local board mails the notice of classification. General Hershey also has repeat edly stressed that no deferment is an exemption. “A deferment is a delay or postponement,” he said, “and in no way cancels the duty of the registrant to meet his obli gations. Liability of a college stu dent for service remains until he is 35 years old.” Many students have been con fused in differentiating between the I-s and II-s deferments. The II-s deferment is considered on the basis of class standing or qualification test and is discretionary on the part of the local board. The I-s deferment, on the other hand, is provided for by the law. A college student ordered to report for induction while he is satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course is en titled to this I-s deferment until he finishes his academic year pro vided he has not had his induction postponed or been deferred as a student prior to June 19, 1951. He may be given but one such de ferment and it is incumbent upon him to notify his local board of his status when he receives the order to report for induction. Campus Outpost By SAM O’NEIL If you happen to catch Wiilie “Bil!” Kimberlin or Houston Ray nor nodding or rubbing his tired eyes, don’t ask them why. “Yep, that’s it, too much television! Some one in the project came running out the other day shouting, “Look, a fly ing saucer man from Mars,” but it turned out to be Raynor clinging around on the housetop putting up hs T.V. antenna. Don’t lose too much sleep now boys, and then pack it off on too much studying. Well, G.I. Hill was saddened the other day by the departing of a loved one. “Sparky” Riggs cashed in his check on the 21st day of February, 1953 a.d., at about the sixth hour of the afternoon. He met his fate by unknown assailants at th2 whe^ of an automobile. He was he dearly beloved “Cocker Spaniel” son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Riggs. If any of you happen to see a bright red streak go by, don’t faint, just look again and you’ll see that it’s just Hoyt Abrahms in that new red Ford of his. After all, it should be new, with all that polishing, eh boys?? Harry Vance is also sport ing a new automobile. Good luck Harry, we were afraid that you were going to lose that fender. . . In conclusion, may we of G.I. Hill invite you dorm students up to see the “ridge.” You don’t know what you folks are missing. We really have a lot of fun up there. Measure For Measure Hit's The Road The cast of the Shakespearean play, Measure for Measure, traveled to South Carolina on March 17th for it’s third presentation, at Lime stone College. Then on March 27th the play was again presented in the Shelby High School auditorium, at the request of the Shelby Jaycees. All arrangements were made through Mr. J. Y. Hamrick and Mr. Felix Hamrick. The names of Mrs. Garland A. Hendricks and James McAlister, who played leading sup porting roles, failed to appear in the last edition of the Pilot. A very pretty redhead window- shopping on Fifth Avenue was be ing followed by a smooth Latin type. At Sloane’s she turned on him, in dignant. “You’ve been following me for three blocks—I saw you. You can stop right now. I’m not the type of girl you can pick up.” The Latin bowed, and smiled. “Madame,” he said, “I am not pick ing you up. I am picking you out.” It worked! —PM At a dinner party several doting mothers were discussing their chil dren’s illnesses with the guest of honor, a noted pediatrician. One mother asked, “Doctor, what do you find to be the principal ailment of children?” The doctor considered the ques tion, then answered gravely, “Mo thers, Madam.” —Jay J. Dugan
