Editorial Opinion
Well, We Are Back
Dear Mamas and Daddys,
Well, we are back. None of our classes are like we had plan
ned - 8:00’s every morning and we don’t get out until 5:00. But
I guess that is better than walking 5 miles every day and milk
ing cows when we get home.
By the way, we’ve been thinking about those good “ole” days
when things were tough, and cars and radios and t.v.’s were
first coming in. Boy, ya’ll sure had the change built into your
generation. Guess there was no time for a gap. Maybe we need
the same kind of change ya’U had, but not with two world wars
and a depression.
Don’t get us wrong, we aren’t asking for work or hard times.
We just want a chance to study in the school of experience.
Maybe Dads, that’s why our hair is a little longer than it was
when we were six. Or Mamas, why we don’t keep the same
things in our room or wear the same kind of clothes.
Well, we have to run. Don’t worry, we’re sure before we
finish the “Webb” we will have seen plenty of changes in our
selves, our school, and even in ya’ll.
Speak Up
Gardner-Webb has a stated purpose. It is printed on most of
the materials published by the school. Every activity of Gard
ner-Webb has to point to this purpose.
Perhaps The Pilot needs a stated purpose. We will take our
aim from the line “to develop quality Christian students who
think for themselves.” It is the “think for themselves” part
that strikes us. This is what we think college is about — Gard-
ner-Webb, too. An individual purpose comes from individual
experiences and personal decisions.
This first week has been required meetings with authori
ties handing out books of rules and sheets outlining where to go
when and what to wear there. There has not been much time to
think.
The thinking comes, but too often it is only expressed m
dormitory bull sessions and letters to the friends at the other
schools.
This is an advertisement. If The Pilot is “the student voice
of Gardner-Webb”, we need to hear the voices. We’re listening.

Important
Time For
Juniors
The jiuiior year of college is
usually the most important year
in a college career. In the ju
nior year a student begins to
lay the ground work in his ma
jor concentration of studies.
G. W. C.’s initial efforts
toward senior status make a-
vailable a Baccalaureate Pro
gram with eight divisions and
1 6 departments. Bachelor of
Arts and Bachelor of Science
degrees will be awarded in the
spring of 1971 to the students
who successfully complete 128
semester hours of work with a
2.0 or better quality point av
erage.
The following list is the basic
eight divisions the Baccalau
reate Program has to offer the
GW student:
Division of General Business
Division of Education and
Psychology
Division of Fine Arts
Division of Health Education
and Physical Education
Division of Languages and
Literature
Division of Mathematics and
Natural Science
Division of Religious Studies
Division of Social Science.
G.W. To
Fund
Gardner-Webb’s Board of
Trustees and Board of Advisors
voted unanimously in a joint
session last May to enter a cap
ital fund campaign with Marts
and Lundy, Inc. of New York
City as professional counsel.
The purpose of this, as sta
ted by Dr. Poston, “is to put
our four year prt^ram over
the top and to insure for this
area an outstanding, accredit
ed senior college by 1971.”
Where does Gardner-Webb
stand in meeting the accredi
tation standards? The faculty
standards call for one-third
(rf the faculty to have the doc
torate degree in the field of
study In which they are teach
ing and that over 60 per ceijt

The library is required to
have at least 50,000 selected
volumes. Gardner-Webb now
has over 40,000 selected vol
umes and will meet the 50,000
volume figure by the end of
1969-70.
Financial resources re
quirements are that a senior
college of G. W.’s size must
spend $1,115,000 yearly on its
educational program, plus $850
per student for every student
over 1,000 enrolled. The col
lege is already meeting this
four year standard as a junior
college.
103,01 endowment fund over the
past four years, it was announ
ced by the sponsor, Dr. Tom
Ballard.
Money from the endowment
goes to sponsor small scholar
ships for outstanding members
of the organization. The fund
developed slowly as the mem
bers visited churches to sing,
preach, teach Sunday School
classes, witness and lead youth
activities. The churches often
made donations and the group
paid expensed and deposited the
remainder in an account.
Members are any students
interested in taking an active
part in presenting the Chris
tian faith through organized
activities.
