November, 1963 THE PILOT Page Three Nancy Brown Recalls THE UNFORGETABLE BSU How well I remember the day that I entered Gardner- Webb College as a freshman. It was my first experience of being away from home, and I was frightened half-to- death. As my patents and I drove up in front of Stroup Dorm, we were approached by half a dozen wild horses who took everything I owned and ran. I froze in my steps and began to cry. It was right then that I decided that I would never like those people. My mother commented that they had on dog tags which stated, “BSU”. I knew that BSU must have meant “Baggage Stealers Union”. Here we stood on the walk—my mother, my father, and I still crying like a baby. Finally I made it inside the dorm, and my parents and I were instructed to see tho Dean of Women. As we entered her office, I was still snubbing and I stayed close to my mother. I was given the rules and regulations of the dorm and about two hours later I waved good-bye to my parents. I stood in silence for a few moments and then I ran to my room to cry. The first week on campus was terrible. This BSU was always around to tell me where to go and how to get somewhere that I really didn’t want to go in the first place. They provided recreational activities for us throughout the week, and I must admit that I enioyed it. I suppose that it wasn’t until the second semester of my freshman year that I realized that BSU means baptist Student Union. I was even more surprised when I found out that I belonged to the BSU. No one had informed me that a student becomes a member of the BSU when he loins the local Baptist church, or Sunday School, Train ing Union, the Y.W.A.’s, the Christian Volunteer Band, or the Ministerial Conference. As I began to understand that it was more than a more organization which links our college and church, I began to appreciate BSU more. I can never express the delight I felt as I was asked to serve you, the students of Gardner-Webb College, on the BSU Executive Council. Each and every council member extends open arms to you at any time. Your council members are: President: Nancy Brown Vice President: Clyde Buckner Secretary: Shirley White Music Chairman: Linda Bowman Vespers Chairman: Dennis Heath Publicity Chairman: Dianne Anderson Social Chairman; Linda Wood Chapel Devotions: Thesa Cole Training Union Representative: Carol Youngman Sunday School Representative: (Boys) Harold Bishop Sunday School Representative: (Girls) Sylvia Harris Listen Chairman: Carol Tesseneer Young Women Au iliary: Janet Cooper Ministerial Conference President: Jerry Lethco Christian Volunteer Band President: Sally Mauney Director: Miss Ruth Kiser Faculty Advisor: Mr. Don Moore Pastor: Rev. T. Max Linnens CAMPUS CLEAN-UP The Y.W.A. is sponsoring a “Campus Clean Up”, and we are asking the student body to help keep the campus clean. On October 16 and 23, the members of the Y.W.A. picked up paper and other trash. The Y.W.A. feels that the campus looks and is disgraceful. It is embarrassing to bring visitors on the campus with all the trash. One thing that the students should know is that the girls are cleaning the campus on their own time, and they have been doing a good iob. Please help them in keeping this campus clean. Co-Chairman of Community Missions Barbara Westray WOES OF THE EDITOR Editing a school newspaper is something new to me, and I can truthfully say that publishing this first issue has certainly been hectic to say the least. Hectic, but a great deal of fun. I was told that the Cleveland Times did our printing, so I arranged an appointment with them in order to discuss the matter of publishing a paper. My appointment was at two o’clock in the afternoon, so I left the campus about 1:30. Upon arriving at the Time’s Office, I discovered that they had moved to a new build ing. I drove around Shelby until three minutes before two; then I found the office in a building that I had past on my way to the old office. In my haste, I forgot to put some money in the parking meter, so I had to leave my conference with the editor to go back and pay the meter; luckily the meter cop had not come by yet. One Saturday I needed to do some typing, and since I do not own a typewriter, I called my pastor to ask if I might borrow the one in the church study. Sister Pastor answered and said that the pastor was not in at that time, but she said to go ahead and get the typewriter and she would tell the pastor where it was. Being busy with household chores when he returned, she forgot to tell the pastor about my borrowing the typewriter. Sunday morning the pastor was terrified to discover that the typewriter he liad used the day before was missing, so during the gen eral assembly, the Sunday School Superintendent an nounced that the church typewriter had been taken dur ing the night. Program In The Arts CONCERTS GIVEN BY GIDNEY AND KOVACS The concerts given by Mrs. Robert Gidney and by Stephen Kovacs were well received by students and fac ulty alike. Mrs. Gidney’s concert of aries, bird songs, and contempory favorites was the first program in the Pro gram in the Arts series this year. Velva Morgan express ed her delight in the program in this manner, “Oh, I can’t wait to write home and tell Mama that we had a Hootenanny in chapel today. Everyone was amazed at the tremendous range of Mrs. Gidney’s unusual voice. Here are a few remarks heard among the students: “I was in French Lab while she was practicing, and my tape recorder picked up her voice better than it did mine.” “How does she do it?” “I took off my glasses while she was singing those bird songs.” “I bet she could shatter a goblet.” Mr. Kovacs’s program of boogie- woogie, 1azz, and rag time music made a big splash in the chapel program. The public was invited to his eve ning concert of classical music. Mr. Kovacs delighted his audience by finishing his program with a great number of special requests.
