MR. STROUD Campus Revival A new “happening” will soon be taking place on Gardner- Webb campus. It is our Campus Revival which will be starting September 22-26. Dr. W. Ran dall Lolley from Troy, Ala., who is the pastor of the First Baj)tist Church of Winston-Sa lem, N.C., will be our guest speaker. The theme for this week will be “Show, Thyself To Me, Lord”. In an interview with Dr. Lol ley, his purpose for coming to Gardner-Webb is “to give op portunities early in the college year which will confront the college students with the claims of living in our times.” Dr. Lolley’s opinion of a revival on Gardner-Webb Cam pus is not in terms of a re vival but of “days of preach ing with the goals being a spir itual renewal.” His goals while at Gardner- Webb will be: 1. Getting to meet the students 2. To share with them his own experiences and his own con cern as a Christian 3. To give forceful ingredient for personal and spiritual re newal Heading the student activities with Dr. Lolley, will be the Secretary of the Church Music Department for the Baptist State Convention, Mr. Joseph 0. Stroud. He will be directing the music tor the morning and even ing services. Therefore, it should be a melodious happen ing in the music program. Se ptember 22-26 proves to be a very soul searching week. “Candle” Wants You! The campus literary maga zine “One Little Candle” is anxious to begin this year’s publication. Therefore any stu dent, faculty, or communitj' member interested in contri buting to the magazine by way of poetry, fiction or the visual arts and any student interested in working on the staff, is urged to contact Stephan Stojanovic, Fred Wilkie, or Dr. B. Cox. It is the hope of the magazine staff to surpass all previous efforts in creating a publica tion of the highest possible or der. They urge everyone inter ested to yield their support.

On September 2 the girls boarding on G-W campus met with Mr. Tom Poston, Miss Ruth Kiser, and Janet Whis- nant, to discuss and interpret new and proposed rules. Some of these rules are as follows: 1. Girls may wear pants dres ses to classes provided they give the appearance of a dress. This means the flap-type or those with inverted pleats. 2. Girls can now wear sports clothes (culottes, slacks, blue jeans, pants dresses, and ber- muda shorts) in areas desig nated in the Porthole. 3. Girls can now go to South Carolina within a fifty mile ra- 4. All girls must fill out a permission slip if they plan to go to Charlotte. This is to let house directors know in case of emergencies or otherwise. 5. Girls —beware of the evils lurking about the Science Build ing after dark. You never know who’ll pop out! 6. Hey, we’re legal for more than five hours on weekends now! That means no more rush shopping trips. You can look ALL you want. Girls may sign out for more than five conse cutive hours on weekends now provided you do so correctly. A two hour extension during the week is giventoJuniorgirls in regard to rule number six. They can go off campus tor seven hours rather than five until 7:30. They have a thirty minute extension with permis sion on Friday and Saturday nights until 12:30. From the sophomores stand point, it is easy to see where, while the juniors are slighted on freedom and freshmen feel stiffled, the rules are begin ning to lean more to the stu dents. Hats off to Miss Kiser, and Mr. Poston. Keep up the good work! orientation WEEK COMBINED DORM RUSH LUAU Dr. Poston discusses mobile dorms with designer Allen Withrow. DORMS ON WHEELS Gardner-Webb has a new ad dition behind Mauney Dorm be side the Suttle Tennis Courts. Ten trailers located there are receiving much comment a- round campus. An interview with several men who live in the mobile dorms shows them mostly sat isfied withtheiraccomodations. Richey Boyd, a freshman trans fer from Clemson, considers the trailers a bit small but much better than the lodgings at Clemson. Most of the men agreed that the trailer rooms although small have advan tages of less noise and greater privacy. Johnny Southerlin, a freshman from Slater, S. C., rates the trailer rooms second only to Myers on campus. Lack of air conditioning and walks, the chief complaints, are being worked on by the college. A tremendous increase in applications this summer cau sed an urgent need for addi tional housing. Shelby and the surrounding area was investi gated for available communi^ housing and boarding. Since this proved inadequate, the idea o£ mobile housing arose. First visits were made to the cam puses of Gaston, Campbell, and Belmont Abbey Colleges, all erf which have trailers in use for student housing. All of these schools seemed to be having temporary success with the trailers even though they were using standard mobile homes. What the college needs and desired in the way of rooms was submitted to Allen Wi throw of Arrowood Mobile Homes, Charlotte. Mr. With row drew the basic design for the new custom made trailers. The trailers are 12 by 65 feet. Each trailer is divided into four rooms with individual entran ces to each room from the outside. Each room also has individually controlled heat and when it arrives will have in dividually controlled air con ditioning. Gardner-Webb’s mobile housing is only a temporary measure. The desire to make the student feel a part of the campus was of prime consider ation in the decision to use trailers. As an afterthought, in this day of campus takeovers, per haps larger troubled schools would be wise to adopt mobile housing for not only dorms but administration buildings as well. Then when students oc cupy the administration build ing, it could be wheeled off campus and a reserve brought By JEFF CRANFORD Baptists Exodus To New Building Boiling Springs Baptist Church members moved into a new $850,000 church plant Sun day, August 31,1969, after 48 years at the present historic location. Rev. T. Max Linnens, pastor, said that members would ga ther at 10 a.m. Sunday at the present building and then walk as a body to the new building located on Highway 150 South. The robed choir led the pro cession and at the new build ing there was a thanksgiving service for the new building. Located on a 37-acre site, the new sanctuary and educa tional plant costs around $850, 000 (furnished) and will seat 1,000 persons in the sanctuary. The educational building will be able to house an enrollment of 1,200. A. A. Ramsey Construction Co. of Shelby was the builder and the architects were from Wilbur, Kendrick, Workman and Warren of Charlotte. The church sold its build ings and property to Gardner- Webb College in January of 1967 for $450,000. It was agreed that the church would vacate the pro perty by January 1, 1969 or pay $90 0 a month rental fee for each month over that date. Rev. Linnens expressed apprecia tion to the college for not charg ing the church the possible $7,200 fee. He also said it was an unusually smooth transition as the two institutions made joint use of the building.
