PAGE 2 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1969 GARDNER-WEBB COLLEGE Letters to the Pilot Dr. Poston Writes The time of the writing of this article is 10:00 p.m., Saturday, October 4. The place is Wallace, North Carolina, approximately 225 miles from BoilingSprings. My major concern is for the students of Gardner-Webb Col lege. Three major concerns fill my mind most of the time. They are: 1. That every student commit his or her life to Jesus Christ. 2. That every student develop his or her ability as much as possible. 3. That every student grad uate from an accredited Gard ner-Webb Senior College. To Students ft is my desire to see as much student leadership and partici pation in decision making as there is student responsibility. Christian leadership and res ponsibility among students will produce a mature Constitution, better learning situations, a more beautiful campus, better athletic programs, and a higher caliber social life. The more Christian we be come the less rules and regu lations will be required. We need to build more quality into our Christian relationships. Dr. E. Eugene Poston 'Dixie^^At Athletic Events? Much controversy has arisen concerning the playing of “Dixie” and the waving of Con federate Battle Flags at ath letic events. Blacks objectto the playing of “Dixie” because it has racial overtones. To a black student, these im- plicationssare slavery, working in cotton fields, racialism and an overall symbolism of the Old South. To a minority of whites, “Dixie” and the Battle Flag are associated with sch ool spirit. They have become established traditions and are not connected with the Confed eracy. Yet, they were symbols used by the South during the Greenville, S.C. stated that, “Dixie and the Battle Flag are, of course, relics and symbols of the Confederacy. For years numerous southerners who re vere their Confederate fathers have been appalled at the in discriminate use of both. They have asked Congress to limit display of Confederacy’s Flags, feeling all symbols of the Lost Cause should be interred de cently.” Black students are not alone in objecting to “Dixie” and the Battle Flag at athletic contests. Although their reasons are dif ferent, the principle is the By STEVE WILSON Boys Are Admired By Faculty Girls, Have you noticed how handsome, polite, and friendly our young men are this year? Good mornings and smiles greet us, doors are opened and even heavy packages are carried. I like it, don’t you? The fellows at Gardner-Webb are rather special, 1 believe. An Action Movement Fellow Students: C.O.R.U.N.A. is an active movement, not a lazy one or a money-raising one, and therefore it is structured like an army, not a committee or a business enterprise. Because of our mont - lithic structure, all of our energy, time and money is bettt r directed toward the implementation of our action program. T1 is fact alone is one of our greatest possible advantages. As fact ionalism has been the curse of all organizational activity in the past, petty politics has been the assassin. In C.LR.U.N.A all need for tte playing of petty politics is curtailed because of tjie elimination of confusion within our structure. There is no plots, counterplots and ceaseless conspiring such as that which neu tralizes other groups. The energy that is released for coi - structive activity because of this explosive — and amazingly, effective. Individual advancement will be on the strict basis of individual effectiveness and ability, not conspirational scheming, parliamentary maneuvering or adhesion to the right clique. Another great advantage to an authorization structure is that the danger of lazyness and weaknessinou’-organization is greatly lessened. All young, forward thinking students who will work anc fight for our purpose and aims are urged to join C.1.R.U JM.A and al though we are structured like an army, all members are equally fre e to leave at any time. The true cohesion o£ our movement does not rest in compulsion but involuntary acceptance of a com mon cause, and is reflected perfectly in our willingness tc work and to take a bold step forward.

Dover building at 9:30 a.m. By TONY EASTMAN Revival Comments By DAN SNYDER On September 22-26, Gard ner Webb College held its an nual faU revivaL Dr. W. Ran dall Lolley was the guest ev angelist. Jack Gant, directed the music. The chapel services were held in the mornings in Bost Gymnasium and in the evenings in E. B, Hamrick Aud itorium. The theme for the week was “Show Yourself to Me, Lord.” Dr. Lolley’s main objectives while on G-W campus were to meet the students, to share with them his own experiences and concerns as a Christian, and to give forceful ingredients for personal and spiritual renew- ance. Now the question is were these objectives met? When some students were asked what they thought of the revival and of the speaker, many of their responses agreed. Students commented that Dr. Lolley was a very good speaker. They said his approach and de livery were good, but his illus trations and his preaching seemed to be above them. He was not talking on the studenfs level; therefore, he was looked upon as a teacher lecturing ra ther than an evangelist preach ing. Still, other students said that Dr. LoUey did not appeal to the emotions of the students. The students in the gymnasium were not moved emotionally by the things that Dr. Lolley said. But the one positive opinion that most of the students gave was that the night services in E. B. Hamrick Auditorium meant the most to them. It was at these night services that Dr. Lolley really got onto the level of the college students. He talked about things that concerned students most; drugs, a purpose in life, sui cide, and many more topics. Many students agreed that the revival could have been even more effective if Dr. Lolley had done this in the morning services. Probably the one thing that students ffid not like was that chapel was required every morning. Many students looked ui»n the revival as simply a thing they had to go to, al though some of the students really did not mind the ser- Editor And Staff Wanda Suddreth (Ed.), John Aiken, Jeff Conrad, Joe Jen- kuns, Rick Jester, Donna La vender, Toby Lutz, Alice Pike, Gabe &ntanella, Nancy Simp son, Dan Snyder, Carolyn Tho- Brown, BiU Neely, Steve Smith. Highway Robbery Maybe by looking responses made by the s dents, the fall revival for year can be made more feetive. The sun was setting as the layman stepped into the street. A blanket of silence covered the small town as he started the long walk down the travel worn avenue. All of a sudden the silence was broken by the deafening click of a ballpoint and another wallet lay dead in the street because some hombre had parked his pony at the Editorial Opinion Equality? Today we hear so much about equality and wonder just what is meant by this “far out” slogan. It can best be defined, as heard from the “Christian” clergyman and the adherents to ajhilo- sophy known by most liberals as Marxism, to be from a different sburce of intent. The clergyman who spread this slogan Si nday after Sunday seem to be carried away without knowing itt true meaning in tte manner of artful propagandists. On the other hand, we have Marxists who are skilled in the area of propaganda and deviousness. They define “equality” as “the inferior individual who, through his own inabilities and failure, can never exceed others in the world of competition.” When we go back to our forefathers who founded this great republic, we must remember that they never introduced the word “equality” to mean that a degenerate, or habitual criminal is equal to a man of intelligence, courage, and promise. We must not take what our founding forefathers said and twist it to mean something entirely different. Based upon what I have said, it can be no doubt that life would hold very little promise for happiness, progress, or freetom. Francis Parker Yockey has stated, “Free men are not equal, equal men are not free.” The wisdom of these words are truer today than ever before. Life itself is a struggle for individuality, inequality. I speak of all things in nature, both the simple and the complex. Each man must struggle through life in order that he may be carried one step at a time beyond his present state. Man is an inequality not an equality as many would have us be lieve. This and only this is the true American Ideal i ' By Rick Jester wrong “hitchen post”. But while our own Marshall Dillon is waging his one man war on crime, we are having our own form of “Highway Rob bery” in the form of car re gistration. Maybe a reduction in cost point system could be the answer instead of tickets, but ten dollars is a little steep. When you stop to think of all the other petty things we haw to dish out money for, ten dollars is pretty hard to conceive. With car registration being as high as it is and parking tickets fly ing hither, dither and yon, our parking situation is put in the class of ridiculous along with other things such as chap . . ., well, never mind. Anyway, as I was saying, with students try ing to make ends meet, the cost of registering and tickets puts a dent in many a fender. But really gentlemen. Ten Dollars? gy dANNY WOOD Nobody Came A cry went forth to the multi tudes, But nobody came. Welcome arms were there to receive all comers. But nobody came. The prophets were amazed that such a righteous group of people could be gathered. But we were there. And nobody came. By DANNY WOOD The Joy Of Being An Editor Getting out this paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly. If we don’t, they say we are too serious. If we stick close to the office all day, We ought to be around hunting material. If we go out and try to hustle, We ought to be on the job at the office. If we don’t print contributions — We don’t appreciate genius; If we do print them, the paper is filled with junk. If we edit the other fellow's write-up, we’re too critical; If we don’t, we’re asleep. If we clip things from other papers, We’re too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don’t, we are stuck on our own stuff. Now, like as not, some guy will say we swiped this from some magazine. WE DID ! ! !
