OCTOBER 20, 1966
Gardner-Webb Eyes Future
Why has the Governor of our state appeared twice in the last two
years at Gardner-Webb College? Most colleges the size of ours would
feel very fortunate in having the governor on campus once during his four
year term. We feel the explanation for this stems from the college itself.
It is one of the most progressive in the state, both among junior and senior
colleges. It is moving to take its place beside the best. With four year
status looming over the near horizons, its prestige will grow even more.
In 1928 Gardner-Webb changed from a high school to a junior col
lege. Officials of the school, at that time, suffered many doubtful mo
ments. Would this endeavor last or would Gardner-Webb take its place
among those who tried and failed? Slowly the school grew. It weathered
the depression years and World War I withoult faltering. Increased en
rollment of the institution resulted in new buildings being erected. The
A. T. Withrow Science Building took its place beside Dover Library,
Stroup Dormitory eased the housing problem of the fairer sex, and Lutz-
Yelton and Mauney residence halls were necessary to accommodate the
larger number of male students. More recently the college built the new
Charles I. Dover Campus Center and the Ernest W. Spangler Stadium.
All this happened because the college had great men behind it. To
name them would take a full page and we do not have space at this
time. As these men continue to back Gardner-Webb it will progress into
a fine senior college. Already plans for this giant step are being made.
Around campus, professors are asking students what courses they would
suggest including when this dream becomes a reality. The date set for
graduation of the first senior college graduates is 1971. That is just five
years away. Next years’ freshmen could possibly graduate from Gardner-
Webb Senior College with a Bachelors degree.
To many people, this is still a dream. They scoff when people talk
about it. But to the ones who really have an interest in the institution,
such as Governor Moore, R. Patrick Spangler, Charles I. Dover, Lloyd
Host, and others, this is no dream. They know it will happen.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
On The Inside
in order to gain an insight into
the workings of the average G-W

ner-Webb. Below is a random sanip-
'TiM BALLOCH: “Pitiful.”

fine institution of higher learning,
and it’s continually growing to
greater heights.”
BASIL BULLARD: “Infatuated.”
FRANK RHODES: “It’s a hard
life.”
DAVID DUNLAP: “You can’t
like it—you’ve got to LOVE
ELLERBE HIGHTOWER III:

socially stagnant.”
lAMES BEETHOEN DAVIS:
“The bitter end.”
LAURENCE “SONNY” JOHN
SON: “Outstanding place.”

CHIEF HOLLAND?
Yep, Our own Dean Holland used to be an Indian, for Tweet-
sie Railroad that is. Beside being G.-W.’s Dean of Students, he
is Garbage Commissioner for Boiling Springs and also is the Civil
Defense Director. A jack of all trades wouldn’t you say?
WALTER CRONKITE SETZER?
Mr. Setzer not only has a good voice for Spanish, but he does
tremendously well on the radio. He broadcasts news and spots
in his hometown of Morganton. He also does a good job for the
Bulldogs.
AND THE FLAG AGAIN
The student who has very unselfishly taken over the respon
sibility for the “flying of the flag” deserves a sincere vote of appre
ciation and so to you, Kay Billeter, thanks.
ABOUT HOMECOMING
Where’s the bonfire going to be held—every big game needs
a bonfire, especially homecoming. Where’s your school spirit
students?
K. M. PARADE
