Paffe Four THE PILOT NOVEMBER, 1956 PUBLIC DUMP By two dinks and a dud. (Co-authors of “Ivy Man with His Straps Unbuckled”) Some of the students of G. W. have asked for a column that brings out all the local trash—trash in this case, meaning gossip. Therefore this article is dedicated to those who missed last month’s issue of “Trash Mouth” by W. U. It has been reported that Diddy Bo and Charles Loftin are “Deax John Artists”. ... It appears as tho’ there are a few D.A.’s appearing round kampus. . . . We hear that the guys are finally giving the co-eds a break. . . . “Lighting" and "Long Tall”, “Old Folks” and “Weiner WUlis.” Bob Hearn gets our vote as being the biggest “Garbage mouth” of the month. . . . You were a close second, Willard. How’s about that??? .... What’s with this about “Pork,” only four movies a week now. . . . WHEN THE UGHTS WENT OCT Who roUed their hair in coffee? Who was the Cut Artist who locked his door?? What happened to the B. B. club of second west?? .... Just a pass ing fad we suppose. . . . Bust up of the month was a chain reaction: Ike and Tempa John and Cordie —Ike and John. . . . Whose feelings got hurt and he walked out of the library?. . . . They say most of the girls were for Ike and Dick, that right girls? .... By the way what’s all this talk about an elephant for the school’s mascot? .... They say they really have a ten o’clock social on First West in Decker Hall. . . . Even record AWOL’S. Who chased who with a broom in the girl’s dorm (3rd Floor)? That’ll all for this month until next time, remember, “Our ears are like Steamshovels, Always picking up Dirt.” '57 ANCHOR WELL UNDER WAY The 1957 Anchor staff Is well under way with preparations for the Gold en Anniversary issue. Individual pictures have been made; the miniature dummy plans are completed; and progress In copy- writing has been made. The editor, Patsy Cook, reports that already a larger number of annuals have been ordered than the previous year’s total. Patsy wishes to express appreciation on behalf of the paper staff for the splendid co operation of the students both in having their pictures made and for their support of the Anchor. Patsy states that It is her belief that the coming issue of the Anchor Is to be the best yet and one of which the students can be proud. She gives the number of pages this year as 148 and promises a surprise feature new to Gardner-Webb an nuals. CHILDREN AT GARDNER-WEBB Children will be children. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. You can also take some people to college, but you can’t give them any sense, or so it has been proved this year. The very fact that a person who Is considered mature enough to go to a college should lead him to act as a mature person and not act with all his childishness and with such reckless actions as have been recent ly demonstrated on Halloween night. Many complaints have been made about the student center being closed at night. It Is the result of some thoughtless person’s actions that causes all to be penalized. Shooting fireworks in the middle of the campus or outside the build ings would hardly be so bad. but bringing them into the dorm halls and rooms is abominable and should be reckoned with summarily. MUCH ADO ABOUT SOMETHING With the end of the mid-semester came much anticipation of seeing the report of the nine weeks’ grades. A week later these grades made their appearance and, good or bad, caused a great deal of enthusiasm among the student body. With the discussion of grades in the spotlight as a conversational topic, the de cision was made to let some of the students share their views of their Individual grades with us. The question posed was; HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR GRADES? Answers; “It ain’t what I think. It’s what Mother thinks.”—Bryan Rippy. “O. K.”—Charles Huey. “Well, we’re not in the running with Eienstein.”—^Willard Upchurch. “I goofed!”—BUI Kincaid. "I think they stink!”—“Prissy” Morgan. “. . . Could be better.”—Ronald WilUams. “I think if I studied more, I would make better.”—Patsy Cook. “I think I got all I deserved.”— Robert Davis. “They are wonderful.” — Bobby “With a little more concentration going on in our ‘grey matter’ they could be better.”—Shirley Jolley. “I’m surprised!”—Bay Rollins. “I’m not even thinking about them.”—David Mullis. The Gift Of A Teacher The following poem was clipped from the Mountaineer of Lenoir High School. This bit of verse exempli fies the qualities many people con sider ideal for a teacher. Jay Allen, who wrote this poem, is In his first year of teaching at Lenoir High School. By JAY ALLEN Ah, but this is my desire! To give this package to you, O world. I will wrap it with the greatest of Then would I tie it with the bonds of wisdom. And make the bow of great char- Too, I would smooth away the creases of crudeness, And brush off the spots of ugliness. Finally, place on it seals with the Blessings of God. Oh ,the contents of this package? My students. PARKING LOT: DUST BOWL OR BOG By ROBERT HEARN In this our fiftieth year and in view of the current buildnig trend on our campus the parking lot be hind Decker Hall needs particular attention. During the dry weather all the • rooms opening onto the parking lot are plagued with the vast amounts of dust that rise from the lot, set tling over everything In sight. The parking lot, after three or four days of rain, and the continu ous driving in and out of the stu dents’ cars, becomes a bog! ’This means wet feet and muddy shoes for those who venture forth to their autos during the inclement weather as well as tracking the mud into the halls and the rooms. Wouldn’t it be better to pave this lot now during our current move ment, thus having both the front and the rear of our campus on equal footing. We are not looking for an over night miracle, but we want a practical consideration of the prob lem by the administration.
