New Dormitory
Facilities Get Go Ahead
North Carolina Baptist have
officially changed the name of
Gardner-Webb Junior College
to Gardner-Webb College as the
new four-year institution enters
its historic advance. The action
was taken at the North Caro
lina Baptist Convention along
with approval to borrow $400,
000 to construct dormitory fa
cilities.
The trustees voted to ask for
the power to borrow the $400,
000. The money will be used to
construct new dormitory fa
cilities. Presently the school
has more than 200 students who
are living off campus unable to
find campus housing.
Dr. E. Eugene Poston said the
need for dormitory space is cri
tical. He cited the many students
living off campus and possible
increased enrollment as rea
sons for the need of more cam
pus housing.
“We are very pleased with
the approval of our request for
the authority to borrow this
money,” said Dr. Poston.
“These new facilities will be
part of our new campaign
raise funds for r ’ ’
oliday Tournament Queen Elected
needed facilities at our sch
ool.”
In making the request to bor
row the money the trustees
told the convention that the col
lege intended to build within
the ability “to pay off the loan
without reducing the efficiency
of the educational program.”
The repayment of the loan will
be made from the rent on the
rooms in the residence halls.
No formal plans have been
approved as to the type of con
struction or when such con
struction will begin.

GW’s Student Government has
recently adopted a student judi
cial committee. The judicial
committee is composed of fif
teen students. This committee
receives special cases from the
Men’s Affairs CouncU and the
Women’s Affairs Board. The
cases that MAC and WAB send
to the judicial committee have
to receive judgment by the com
mittee before the cases are
sent to the executive commit
tee. However, few of the cases
from MAC and WAB are u-
sually sent to the executive
committee.
A student in trouble because
of one reason or another will
be brought before a committee
of his piers. There are no fa
culty or administration mem
bers on the judicial board. Stu
dents on the board are; Ryan
Hendley, chairman; Billy Scott,
vice chairman; Alice Pike,
Steve Wilson, Gale Alexander,
