MEET OUR STAFF By Monty Mills The Pilot staff members in the spotlight for this month are both day students in the Freshman Class. Beverly Turner is known to many of the students on cam pus by her articles which have already appeared in the Pilot. She is a music major from Shelby, N. C., and she is usually found practicing organ in the auditorium; that is, when she isn’t at the shop talking. While in high school at Shelby, Beverly was active in ex tra-curricular activities. She was in the band and band club for four years, Beverly also played the piano for the school • ' ' ’ " — Pilot staff member , and she was in several clubs as the P.T.A., the photography club, and the Allied Youth. Beverly’s main interests, other taking than those at Carolina, center around music; and she is especially fond of jazz and semi-classical music. Among her other Interests ai-e sports, especially tennis; dating, eat ing pizza, taking pictures and play ing chess. After completing her studies at Gardner-Webb, Beverly plans to continue her music studies at Ap palachian State Teachers College. tured in this issue is David Moore from Forest City, N. C. David is “n engineering course, spare time at Cool Springs High School, David took part in the activities of several organizations sponsored by the school. David was a member in the Library Club, the Future Teachers Club, and the Public Speaking Club. David’s main interests are sports, and especially in football. THE PILOT FROM THE EDITOR Second semester has found som3 new changes in the social rules at G. W. First of all, the dating hoarj for girls have been changed. Friday night curfew has been changed from 10:30 to 11:00; Saturday night cur few from 11 to 11:30. Also, the social hours are now open all day until 7 p.m. Continuing on, the Sun day afternoon curfew has been lifted and the girls will have Sunday aft ernoons out until 6 o’clock. To top it off, the girls will have one after noon for shopping in addition to Saturday afternoon which will be standard. I might mention the girls are planning on weekly recreation. However, as new priveleges arise so does the dependence on the stu dents in not breaking this new pri vileges. G. W. is stressing new pri vileges and they are counting on our honor to uphold these new rule-. It will take 100 per cent coooerat-cn on the part of the students to maks sure that we deserve this privilege. By accepting these we must siow that we are old enough to take full responsibility in upholding them. While talking about G. W. on t.ie upswing I would like to hit a fs'.v other points for a better college. the faculty. It f if neither ' " until the news is old or the news has changed by going from mouth to mouth. There might even be an advantage for a representative body from the students and the faculty to meet at certain intervals to dis cuss problems that might arise. Another weakness on the Gard ner-Webb campus is that the stu dent government has little function. Too many times it is little more than a figure—head for the execu tive committee. I might add that because of this the executive com mittee is not too popular with a large number of students. Gardner- Webb must realize that we are young men and women and that in a year or two years we will be rack ing heads and making decisions on our own in the outside world. If we are old enough to come to col lege, to fight for our country, to marry, and accept other responsibi lities of this nature, we should be able to make important decisions on our own. Never before as today have young people had to make so many decisions on their own. The third and last point is that of social activities. Gardner-Webb has top academic standards as far as the classrooms go, but that is not enough. Most of the students on campus do not have access to a car and therefore must find things to do around Boiling Springs. The main thing Gardner-Webb offers is sports, and of course many weeks find them on the road on weekends. Of the activities attempted, most need to be better organized. How to go about getting better activities at G. W., I do not know. I do know that a large part must come from the students. I would like to give what I think would create a better interest on the part of the students, and at the same time be a better advertising agent for the college. 1. Intramurals should have more organization with schedules made before the season starts. Also, standings should be kept posted for everyone, and awards made for out standing teams and individuals. 2. Students should get together and plan off-campus activities which would create better school spirit. 3. When social activities are held on campus the entertainment should get away from the “drop the hanky” type of games and stress more talent shows and things of this nature. 4. Clubs should h tion and sponsor r 5. Chapel p _ more with such t shows to go along and speeches. This would each type more interesting, other thing is that the students ff that chapel is o Garrett and “Moose” Womack TOP SOPH By Paula Hughes Top Soph honors this month go to two fine Gardner-Webb students from South Carolina. Violet Anne Garrett was born on February 9, 1939, in Woodruff, S. C. She lived in Woodruff until time for col lege, when she chose Gardner-Webb because, “I felt that this was the best place to go for the course I am taking.” Next year, Anne will enter Appalachian State Teachers College. Miss Top Soph is quite active on turned to his hometown, Honea campus. She is i. Women’s Self-Govrenment Associa tion of Stroup Dormitory ,and she is a typist for the Pilot. Last year, she was secretary-treasurer of the choir. Recently another honor was conferred upon Anne — ^e was chosen the Most Popular Girl among the Superlatives. As a New Year’s resolution for the beginning of the semester, Anne proposed to attend all basketball games, to study more, and to eat less. Some of her favorites are as fol lows: movie, “A Man Called Peter”; color, blue; food, hamburgers and Pepsis; class, health; book, A Man Called Peter; song, “To Know Him Is To Love Him”; vacation spot, Florida; pet expression, “I’ll say”; and TV show, "Perry Mason.” The type of date Anne prefers is one who is neat, honest, sincere, trustworthy, with a good personality and who is a good conversationalist —a pretty good description of Don Bridges, with whcm Anne goes steady. When asked to name the person for whom she has the most admira tion, Anne’s choice was her mother, “because she is always willing to help others in anyway she can.” Needless to say, like mother, like daughter! Mr. Top Soph is the well-known Man About Campus — James Wil liam “Moose” Womack—one of the best-liked students of Gardner- Webb. The campus wiU not be the same without “Moose,” who has re- Path, S. C. The reason G.-W. ■ chosen by “Moose” was because it in a small school and offers more individual help, and because it is co-educational. For the immediate future, “Moose” is entering Erskine College near his home where he will major in history, subsequently to enter the teaching profession. As a sideline, he plans to make a million dollars. the New Year, “Moose” would like U a few r s to g along With the A he got in Knglish Literature. “Moose” had quite a few favorites: class, history; book. Playboy Maga zine; movie cartoons, “Road Run ner”; movie, any kind starring Bri- gette Bardot; color, green (“it matches my complexion”); food, shrimp—^with celery a close second (one of the reasons I came to Gard ner-Webb); vacation spot. Ocean Drive Beach, South Carolina; ex pression, “Here’s an extra five for tonight. Son”; TV show, “Gun- smoke.” To qualify as a date, “Moose’s” choice is a blonde, taU, drives a CadiUac, and has measurements of 36, 24, 36. He isn’t too hard to please! Mr. Moseley is the person for whom “Moose” has a great deal of admiration. As he says, “Mr. Mose ley is tops in my book. I owe a lot to him. If you listen ot him, he’ll give you a ‘doggone’ good philosophy and a whole lot of chemistry.” To both of these fine sophomores —to Anne, here at Gardner-Webb, and to Jimmy, now at Erskine—we wish the best! By MOON TALK Ann Holden and Dorsey Hoggart Pilot Staffers, Beverly Turner and David 6. In closing I would like to state that G. W. must keep its so-called “book discipline.” However, it must realize that students need to get a good social background as well as a classroom background. Students must learn how to make up their own minds when to study and the Gardner-Webb Bulldog;. Also v/e find dancing and swimming high on the list of interests. In the sum mer David enjoys making trips to the beach, and lying on the beach David finds time to listen to his favorite singer, Sam Cook. When David finishes his two years at Gardner-Webb, he plans to con tinue his engineering studies in either the Marines or the Air Force, and possibly later at State College. Radio Moscow: FLASH day evening, a HAM George Strvoni, the only resident of Bubbling CJreek, N. C. intercepted and monitored an evening program by Radio Moscow on the subject of moon shine — OOPS — mcon shots. The Soviet Government of course boasted of their recent conquest of space. Strangely enough, radio Moscow went on to say they must discontinue future experi ments in the realm of space for fear of revolt in the Soviet Union. ing that the youth of Russia were greatly concerned for the welfare of nature’s satellite, the moon. To prevent an impending disaster the INAPMOKIH has been formed by the moon lovers of Russia. The head man of Russia was so upset he eli minated only 14 of his high officials instead of his usual 25. The re maining 11 were sent to the salt mines of Outer Mongolia. The 11 were overcome with gratitude, with eyes overflowing as they were load ed into the cattle cars. ’Their last words as the train pulled away from the loading platform were LONG LIVE THE TNAPMOKLH! Mean-while back at the TNAP MOKLH CONVENTION held at Red Square in honor of the TNAP MOKLH president Poggio Bracoio- lini, banners were numerous and confetti was thick. Shouts of hun dreds of thousands of people in a chorus, LONG LIVE THE TNAP MOKLH! The demonstration has been going on for about two weks, but among the disorder there was a man calm ly sweeping the streets with a very sober look on his face. Let’s get his opinion of the convention: Par don me sir, before we ask the usual questions, isn’t it a hard job to keep the streets clean with the con fetti flying and people stepping on your broom? Oh! ’This isn’t my job, he exclaims as he calmly takes a drag of his fUter-tip cigarette, I’M presiden tof the TNAPMOKLH. There’s another man who Uiinks for himself. Now back to Red Square. Unfor- tunatley George Strevoni’s receiver became distorted and the interfer- rence was too great for reception; therefore we’ll have to wait for Mos cow to disclose the further develop ments in the newspapers. Please be patient for further develop ments. I’m sure that our efficient communications system can come up with more information on these demonstrations .... “LONG LIVE THE TNAPMOKLH!”
