“Beanies”
starting Wednesday the tenth
of September, freshman beanie
caps were sold in the Director
of Student Affairs’ office. The
beanies were 75i this year be
cause they are decorated with
the letters of G. W. on one red
panel and a bulldog on another.
All freshmen were required to
purchase these beanies.
The freshmen are requested
to wear the G. W. beanie at all
times during the week of the
15th through the 20th. No male
student is required to wear his
beanie during class or chapel.
The beanies are just as much a
part of orientation as registra
tion. Their purjwse is to give
proper recognition to the new
freshmen. They also boost sch
ool spirit for the season’s first
home football game.
Freshman beanie week wUl
climax Saturday night with a
grand march of the freshmen
traveling from the gym parking
lot to the center of the football
field.
Students Meet Brass
Thursday evening at eight
o’clock on September 4th, the
annual Faculty-Student Recep
tion was held in the Charles I.
Dover Campus Center. The pur
pose of this reception was for
the student to become person
ally acquainted with his teach
ers. Even though the meeting
was required for freshmen, the
students generally found the
semi-formal affair to be en
lightening. The reception gave
the freshman student a chance
to show off his or her fancy
ing his professor in a differ
ent environment.
All the professors, wives, and
husbands attended the recep
tion. Each student was greeted
with a smile and a plain card
to scribble his name on. Punch
and Boodies were served.

difficult decision for me be
cause of the friendships devel
oped with so many here a
Gardner-Webb. It has been a
privilege to be a part of the
growth of Gardner-Webb.
“I do hope students will al
ways keep in mind that anj'
institution is always in certain
stages of growth and come to
appreciate just how great have
been the strides of their col
lege during the past seven or
eight years.
“Certainly I wish the best
for the students and the col
lege as it moves into one of
its most difficult and chal
lenging periods.”
Coach Ron Hooper, the as
sistant basketball coach at
Gardner-Webb College, has
announced his resignation to
enter into direct sales in Kings
port, Tenn.
Ron Hopper was with G. W
for one season coming to the
college from Elkin High Sch

for three years. As assistant
coach to head Coach Eddie
Holbrook, the Gardner-Webb
Bulldog team had the record
of 31-5 and ended the season
by being ranked 10th in the na

chian State Universfty
Coach Hopper’s resignation
will be effective as soon as
he can be replaced on the staff.
Coach Eddie Holbrook sta
ted, “We hate to lose Coach
Hopper. He fit well into the
program and made a fine con
tribution to the basketball pro
gram both on and off the court.
This certainly puts as behind
in our development of a sen
ior college program.”
Sander Vanocur Speaks In Chapel
Opportunity
Coeds at Gardner-Webb Col
lege will be given an unusual
opportunity for a brighter fu
ture during the week of Septem
ber 22-26.
Through a pilot Rubella
Screening test sponsored by
the Royster Memorial Hospital,
young ladies who are interested
can find out whether or not
they have ever had Rubella
(German Measles).
German Measles is a mild
viral disease but it has been
proven that, if contracted by a
woman while she is pregnant,
the disease can cause eye de
fects, mental retardation, con
genital heart diseases, deafness
and other complications to the
unborn infant.
There will be no cost. The
program will be explained fully
the week befo3re testing. Only
the mimunity status is tested.
Vaccination will be left up to
the individual student to work
out with his physician.
Each girl would give 5cc
(one teaspoon) of blood. The
laboratory will check the titer
of each blood sample and the
results will be sent back to
each student.
This is the only program of
its type in North Carolina and
certainly an opportunity for
Gardner-Webb students.
Classiccs IV
On September the twelfth six
members of the Student Union
attended a concert by the Clas
sics rv at Appalachian State
University. The Classics IV
will be performing at G. W. on
th
the 18th of September. The sole
purpose of the six members
attending the early perfor
mance is for screening, Mr.
Tom Poston said, “The com-
niittee has a certain position
to occupy, and we want enter
tainment to be in line with the
policy of Gardner-Webb Col
lege.”
All contracts for entertain
ment were signed last year in
connection with seven other col
lege entertainment commit
tees. Since the student has to
pay $7.50 for entertainment,
he deserves the best his money
can buy. It is therefore nec
essary for a committee such
as the Student Union to screen
the entertainers before they
perform at G. W.
