Ronnie, as she has been nick-named by her fellow stu dents, went home for Christ mas. 'This, of course, is not unusual for college students. But Ronnie’s home is Hawaii, 5000 miles from the campus, and she went home because her father had suffered a heart attack and some concerned fellow students made the trip possible. The elementary education major had not been home since July, 1968, and she did not plan to go home until next summer. But when her father was strick en, her dorm friends, plus some others on the campus, decided that Ronnie should go home immediately. So a drive was started to raise funds for the $450 plane ticket. Without Ronnie’s knowledge the students raised almost $200, some in cash, some pledg ed, within 48 hours. The First Baptist Church, Shelby, through its Pastor Gene Watterson, a- greed to pay the balance. A prominent trustee of Gardner- Webb who happened to be on campus at the time gave Pre sident Eugene Poston a check for $150. This all added up to Ronnie catching a plane home to spend Christmas with her family. The administration went even further in postponing her exams until her returned. This was done due to the critical condition of her father in a Honolulu hospital. Her only words when in formed of what her fellow stu dents had done were, “You shouldn’t have done it. I can’t understand.
