Summer and Smoke Rated Editor’s Note There has been inquiry as to whether The Pilot should print unsigned letters. Very few if any publications will print an unsigned letter. However, if the writer of a letter does not feel he wants his name printed, the editor will consider with holding the name at the writer’s request. This publication is liable for anything it prints, letters or otherwise. Staff Applications The proposed course in Jour nalism will not be offered until fall semester of 1970. Appli cations for the spring semes ter staff of The Pilot are now being taken. Requirements for staff membership include at least a 1.5 overall quality point average, prompt attention to deadlines and assignments, and attendance at staff meetings. Interested students should con tact the Student Publications Office (113 CID) or CID mail box #866 before the end of this semester. From the Staff: Exchange Newspaper A new display will soon ap pear in Dover Library which will be of interest to all stu dents. Due to an exchange pro gram between Oardner-Webb and a number of other colleges and universities, we now have quite a few copies of their respective newspapers avail able for our students reading enjoyment. These papers range from small two page publica tions to the papers of the lar ger schools such as Carolina and Appalachian which are as large as some small town pa pers. Whether you desire to read for pleasure or to find ideas and suggestions for The Pilot it is hoped that these papers will be used. We only request that you not remove the papers from the reading areas of the library and that when finished you please re turn them to the display table. Wanted: Staff A new staff will soon be needed for the next issue of One Little Candle (spring se mester, 1970). Several posi tions are open including editor, assistant editor, and publicity director. Interested students should contact Mr. Fred Wilkie of the English Department in person (CID Box 31) to make application. This semester’s issue of the literary magazine, numbertwo, will be coming out in Decem- To Build A New Order By RICK JESTER In the majority of America’ universities and colleges today stands a powerful and destruc tive force. Out of these uni versities and colleges come the leaders of tomorrow’s world. But even at this mo ment they are being trained — oriented — molded to a philo sophy of economic material ism. The ideas, attitudes, and value standards which we and our fellow students are now assimilating will determine to a large extent the kind of world our children and great-great- grandchildren will someday in herit. Even more important are the decisions made by our pre sent generation and how those decisions could make the dif ference between life and death for our race. Even now as the death of the system approaches, a scream ing pack of scavengers, spawn ed by the same system which now enslaves us — Marxist, anarchist Communist Jews, wooly-headed black militants, and long-haired peace wor shipping liberals, are closing in for the kill. Even worse, a coalition between Blacks, Li berals, and Jews has succeed ed in creating an extremelyvo- cal and powerful number of students on our campuses. The activities of these “bro therhood maggots” is really not allthat surprising. The surprise comes from the far more dangerous attitude and apathy of those of us who should be the vanguard fighters for the right to establish a new order, to build upon the ruins of the old. The great majority of this apathy is due to the paralyzing effect of the mas sive propaganda spewed forth by the old liberal order. This propaganda condimns any at tempt to preserve the manifes tation of racial self-defense as “bigotry” or “anti-Chris tian.” It is also due in part to the lack of revolutionary leadership to tackle the job. The situation can be reme died only be seizing from the enemies of our race the ini tiative which they now hold on our college and university cam puses and joining with our white racial comrades to proclaim a new world order. This Aryan value and racial idealism — a national socialist world or- By ALICE PIKE The final curtain call for Summer and Smoke came on Saturday, November 22, with a packed house. The play rated “success” by the students and faculty who were able to attend. The converted church, now the Opera House Theatre, over whelmed all. The studeMts who "worked on this production and the Opera House Theatre were sorry to see the show close; but, at the same time, looked forward to extra hours of sleep. Final Exam By DAN SNYDER “Success” Because of the willingness to work and because of the time and effort given to this pro ject, the following have been accepted into the Delta Psi Omega Dramatics Club: Caro lyn Bridges, Ric Cannon, Sha ron Capps, Rebecca Jamerson, Sherry Jones, Pam McCall, Bill Neely, Karen Sawyer, and Ron Zedick. Dr. Charles Cox and Terry Hayes will receive ho norary membership in Gard- ner-Webb’s Delta Psi Omega. Comments Letters to the Pilot Students Comment On The Dane Dear Juniors, I am a sophomore at G. W. C. I would like to thank the entire junior class for sponsoring a dance at Cedar Park. Even though the dance was eighteen miles off campus it was worth the trip. Thank you again. By MERRYE BABCOCK Dear Students, On November 24, 1969, at Cedar Park at 8:00, Gardner- Webb College had its first dance. Why, because a few people were concerned about you the students. Much of the work was left to Steve Coldron, Junior Class President and Mr. Tom Poston, Director of Student Affairs. Each of us should give a special thanks to them. It was a first and 1 am sure not a last. By GALE ALEXANDER Dear Students, Although I am not a junior, I would personally like to thank the students who attended the dance for their excellent conduct. I feel that such dances might bring Gardner-Webb College clo ser to having dances on campus. The excellent conduct of the men and women attending the dance should help to relinquish the stereotyping of the students as immature and irresponsiibje. ^ I realize that dancing is not permitted on Gardner-Webb cam pus, but a person can always hope for changes. By JOHN M. AKEN Promise Of Improvement Dear Mr. Whitten: Thank you for your considerate letter which appeared in the November 12th issue of The Pilot. I have taken your recommendation seriously and have re viewed our current standards of service with my staff with the intention of instituting and maintaining a formal Employee De velopment Program which will eventually eliminate the human error that caused use of “hard” cheese in the sandwiches and other related instances. Physical equipment and layout limitations are not unusual to our business and as part of my management responsibility I must plan and produce quality meals within the limitations of the equipment. In general, the equipment and facility pro vided by Gardner-Webb are above average and more than ade quate to do the job. Due to the involved technical knowledge necessary to analyze and understand food service, I am not going to attem^ to answer for a meal that was less than satisfactory, other than to assure you that the problems have been analyzed and corrective action has begun. Our operating goals are the same as you desire to have the very best of food and service within the scope of our obligation and commitment to Gardner-Webb College and the student body. cc: The Pilot Message Of Thanks From Rev. Buddy Dear Students: I would like to thank each of you personally for your contri bution to Project Kentucky. I believe you have depicted the true Christmas spirit and the true meaning of what Christmas is all about. The words of Paul, “It is moreblessedto give than to receive” (Acts 20:35) certainly has merit. It is just a blessing for you and I to be able to give to those in need. Think of how terrible it would be if you and I were so poor that we had to depend on others for our food and clothing. I hope and trust that your Christmas will be a happy one due to the fact you have helped someone else to have a Merry Christ- By REV. BUDDY FREEMAN Response To ^^What is a Christian?’’ A Christian is one who should strive to be Christ-like, and that does mean to love white and black, red and yellow. For many of us who strive to be Christians, but as of yet do not love all people, please do not condemn us to hell — Please pray for us. By TOMMY MOORE A survey was taken to see how students reacted to final exams. When some students were asked “Should there be final exams?” the responses were as follows: Donna Turner (Freshman): Personally, I don’t mind taking exams. I think that they are okay. They can be used as a helpful learning experience. I think that it’s good for one to sit down and study and then take a test which shows how well one can comprehend the subject material. John Caldwell (Sohpomore): Exams are good because they show how well one really knows the material by the end of the semester. From the standpoint of the learning process, exams are necessary. However, from the standpoint of the student, who sometimes wants to get out of work, exams are not necessary. Rebecca Jamerson (Junior): No, I believe final exams are a waste of time. Once you study the material for a test that should be enough instead of going over the same material for the final exam. Personally, I really don’t mind final exams, but I get so nervous when I take them because I realize how important it is to do well in them. Armmen Abagien (Freshman from Lebanon): I believe that there should be final exams so that one can revise all the sub ject material that he has covered during the semester. Also, exams can be very helpful to the student, but one should pre pare for the final exam not the week before, but four weeks prior to the exam. Jim Robinson (Junior): No, the final exam does not represent the amount of knowledge you have absorbed in the class. I think that exams should be put on two different levels — that is all students who have a “C” average or better should not be re quired to take the final exam because the student’s grade and all students who have below a “C” average should take the exam because the exam could improve the student’s grade. Joe Stepp (Junior): No, I would prefer to have the pass or fail method because I realize how important the final e)am can be and how easy it is sometimes to forget the material one has just studied. If one is not feeling well, he could very easily blow the exam. Did You Know? . . . . . . That Max is no. 002, but he’s trying harder? . . . That Mr. Pinkerton Howell has green eyes? . . . That The Pilot may be mimeographed next semester due to a limited budget? . . . That final exams have been canceled due to a lack of interest? . . . That this is a filler?
