XI MARCH 28, 1957 EDITORIAL STAFF Associate Editor j Ray Rollins \ Charles Loftin j Dillard Hiatt Staff Writers ' George Passes ^ Freida Stanley \ Duane McDougald > Ronald Williams BUSINESS STAFF s Manager _ Circulation Manager Shirley Jolley Kxchange Editors SPORTS STAFF The Ideal Of Education By GEORGE PASSES As the history of human progress takes us many centuries back, we find that man is seeking continuously to discover the qualities which would enable him to understand himself better and to know the purpose of his existence. The continual development of man’s progress is based upon the ideal of knowledge which he acquires from the thoughts and ideas of idealistic men of the past. From history we leain of the struggle that the ancient man faced in order to survive. His struggle for existence enabled him to train his mtad so that he could meet his needs and improve the society in which he lived. The ideal of his life was to enlarge his thinking, and, in doing so, he opened the way for mankind to find a purpose In living. Literature gives us an insight Into the lives of many people whose changes in development show the course of the human race. Tremendous sources of man’s progress have been preserved so that we of today and of the coming generations may know the past, under stand the present, and thus be better able to predict to future. From The Editor's Desk Welcome, editor, welcome back to your job. (If no one else says wel come, I will). ' When It was announced that as sociate editor Ray Rollins would edit the last issue of the PILOT there was some speculation as to why a person in the position of the editor wanted to take a back seat and let someone else take over After much explaining I finally convinced (?) those dubious stu dents that I was neither “goofing off” nor on a vacation. Actually I had no single reason, X merely wanted to give someone else a taste of how It feels to edit a college newspaper—to feel the exasperation, the stress, anxiety, and the Joy of a job well done. Both Rollins and I have received compliments on his job. I would Uke to take the space to say to Rollins, “Thank you and congratu lations.” I also wish to congratulate him on his recently acquired position with the Cleveland Times. Some of our studepts can’t figure out whether it is spring, winter, or a well mixed sample of both. With the sunshiny days came ideas of swimming, b^eball, and girls, es pecially girls. Practically aU of Second West, Decker Hall, has ah-eady been to “the old swimming hole.” Some have taken the first dip in the re cently completed swimming pool. It’ll never replace the sand bar, though, right boys. One has only to stand in his win dow on these balmy days and see, during social hours, the lads and lassies of their choice, strolling across the campus. Remember Tennyson and his lines, “In the spring young man’s -fancy lightly Gardner-Webb campus is erupting into a galaxy of recitals, concerts, intramural ball games and term papers. These two-oent delicacies called Dum Dums and Tootsie Pops also seem to be having a heyday with the co-eds and residents on the other side of that strip of green separating the dorms. The drug store does a land office business in dum dums after meals. The coun tenance of all is brighter as swing ing doors part and out they come with a lump in their jaw and a rolled paper stick protruding from their mouth. The B.S.U. council was recently feted at Its weekly meeting by—dum dums. Congratulations are due to Miss McSwain, Carolyn Proffitt, and the cast of the play “SUNUP” which was recently presented. The show was enjoyed by large crowds both The Dynamic Of Spring By REV. JOHN FAKRAB The calendar has a sUent way of teUing the arrival of the seasons, but God has varied and picturesque ways of introducing His children to the same. Both officially and by. the nature of things in the created or der we know that spring has come. The casual observer will have his attention drawn to budding trees and growing grass, whUe the soul more devoted to beauty will be busy assisting the waking flowers m their recovery from a long slumber. Still another will be preparing the soil and planting; ever hopeful that summer and fall will bring abun dant yields for the pantry. Spring is indeed an invigorating season and its power to awaken and refresh drooping spirits is far greater than man has language to describe. The arrival of spring signals still another note. The hurnan heart seems to undergo a mysterious transformation to the end that male and female become more attractive and winsome, each to the other. There is a buoyancy m the heart which trips the springs of affection and love. All of this may happen to any of us in the setting of singing birds, warm sunshine, inspiring sun sets, moonlit heavens and soft voices. The coming of spring is a kind of guarantee that love can make the difference between a life of dull existence and one of ven ture and beauty. For Christians of the world, the entrance of spring points to those events in the life of the Son of God without which there would be no complete Gospel. The high peak of these events centers around the resurrection of Jesus Christ. A fuller appreciation of His resurrection comes when the Individual peers into the grinding experiences of suffer ing through which Christ lived and Into the presence of death as He accepted it at Calvary. Before there can be new life, there is death! We are not amiss to insist that there is a connecting link between the ar rival of spring and the proclama tion of Christ’s Resurrection. Be hind the spring lies the cold and dead of winter; behind Easter morn ing lies the suffering of an earthly ministry and a« seeming defeat through death upon a cross. For each of you Christ’s resurrection can mean the ultimate. His resur rection means that we worship and serve a God who lives and because He lives we too can live. There is no rational process that can com pletely analyze the event we call the Resurrection; neither can the mind of man pour the splendor of spring into a test tube. We are living in magnificent days when the whole order is awakening. May you find in the beauty of spring and the power of Christ’s Resurrection greater yearning to live to the praise of your God. Points By Pat Say—^why doesn’t someone: install elevators in the Hamrick buiMing? finish the sidewalk in front (or is it the back?) of the new dorm? furnish cushions for the seats m chapel? sign up some of th efac- ulty members for the Harlem Globe Trotters? put up antennas/for the girls’ teevees? invent an alarm clock that forgets to alarm? invent a three months school term, with a nine months vacation— And wonder who it is that: goes steady with two girls? kisses and tells? misses Dan and “Long Tall”? Pork has a crush on. (couldn’t be “M. C.” could it?) Collects dum dum wrappers? acquired the name “Snowking” . . . huh, Ronald? Notice these cute couples lately: Freida and Bill, Pat and Olin, Ray and Judy, Jean and George, Betty Jo and Jeff, Suzanne and Jerry— oh, there are scads! We’U sign off with congratuja- tions to Mr. Barnett and his fi ancee, Patsy and Ben, Betty B. and Robert, Mary ’and Ned, pan and Dean, Marie and Bill, and Shirley and Woody. Gee! It IS Spring! From The Other Half Of The Editor's Desk By OLIN WILSON Listen freshmen: Don’t make the mistake I made by moving in with the Pilot editor. The editor doesn’t only use his part of the desk but mine also. This article is being writ ten from the side of my bed. I can hear the faint sound of two typewriters in a pile of assorted ar ticles and back issues of the Pilot. I don’t mind the desk business, but when it comes to the use of my bed, that is going too far. With sports editor Dillard Morrow lying in the middle of the bed, Charlie Loftin on one side, and Ray Rollins on the other, and Duane Mc- Dougald’s feet propped up on it; How can I go to bed? I would use my roomy’s bed, but the PUot is spread out on it. Not only does the editor take over my half of the desk and all of my bed, but he continually borrows my paper clips, scotch tape, and glue, not to mention my scissors, pencils. Guess who has been doing most of the typing for the PUot. Right. The editor’s roomy. This is one of the few advantages of being the editor’s roomy. I stay in practice with the typewriter. Another ad vantage is reading all the articles as they come In and putting my stamp of approval on them. I think I should be excused from aU classes the day after the PUot is completed .When the editor and his slaves (including me) are work ing on the Pilot, my night starts at 12:00 or that is my morning starts then. In all colleges that don’t have press rooms, I send my sympathy to the editor’s roomy. From a quotation of a well-known faculty member—I play an ade quate part in putting the PUot out. THE WIDE, WIDE SCREEN By CHARLES LOFTIN Choice and Current— The Spirit of St. Louis-New York to Paris with Charles A. Lindbergh. Director BUly Wilder and actor James Stewart make a starting per formance about a great adventure. Gold of Naples-Italian director De Sica makes a high comedy of low life in Naples, wins superb per formance from Sophia Loren and Silvana Mangano. The New Picture— Fear Strikes Out (Paramount) RoUs Prank Merriwell and Sigmund Freud into a ball and then lines it for a “solid hit”. Based on the widely read autobiography of Jim PiersaU, the fleet-footed outfielder of the Boston Red Sox. Starring 24-year-old actor Perkins in his first string roll. Rolhns Accepts Position With Local Paper By BILL KINCAID Another member of the PILOT staff has recently gained promi nence. Associate editor Ray RoUins has accepted a position with the. CLEViXAND TIMES as a reporter. He is the second member of the PILOT staff to gain publicity through his journalistic efforts. George Passe, staff writer, had his story, "I Discover America,” run in several of the state’s larger papers. George’s trip to Americ,a his school life and college career were published widely. Rollins is working part time at the local newspaper. Thus far he has had two lead articles, plus an assortment of various and sundry articles, printed in the paper. G. W. Lawn Returned Gardner-Webb College is going to receive a new coat of green—at least that’s the intention of Prof. Hubert C. Dixon, chairman of the building and grounds committee. Sod has been turned in various areas in preparation for .seeding some of the bald spots, of the campus. Primary areas of interest in the campaign are around the Hamrick building and spots sur rounding the student center. The actual work is under super vision of Leonard AUen, superin tendent of the building and grounds. Some of the more agricultural- minded students may be interested in knowing the fertilizer that is being used — powdered tobacco stems. This mixture has come, in recent years, to be used extensivey for certain types of plants, among them grass. If all goes well more of those well known bald spots wiU soon be things of the past.
