GARDNER-WEBB COLLEGE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1970 PAGE 3
Accreditation And The
G.W. Library
By JEFF CRANFORD
If we were to conduct a search
for the pulse of our campus per
haps we would find it beating
Strohgest at Dover Library. All
of us are aware of the vital
part played by the library on
this or any college campus. Ac
crediting agencies such as the
^Hithern Association of Col
leges and Schools recognize
this significant role as well and
provide thorough standards by
which the libraries of prospec
tive member schools are jud
ged.
The importance of Gardner-
Webb receiving accreditation to
each of us as students is ob
vious. Therefore the standards
by which our school and its
various agencies are judged
should be known by all students
and not just the faculty or ad
ministration. In this manner
our contributions by way of
criticism and suggestions can
play a large part in bringing
this school closer to the goal
of full accreditation as a four
year senior college.
In order to inform the stu
dents about some of the basic
accreditation standards we pre
sent here some aspects of the
accreditation proces s in re
gard to our library and where
we stand on each of them.
Some of these basic standards
are as follows:
There should be a proper
academic committee concern
ing the library, which should
include the librarian.
The library budget shall co
ver the purchase, processing,
and servicing of the collection
of printed library materials.
Special materials or services
(such as recordings, films,
other audio-visuals) demanded
of and furnished by the library
will require funds in addition
to regular budgetary allot-
Faculty members are res
ponsible for participation in
book selection. An institution
should be able to show that its
Librarian Miss Sebastian checks reserve book list for student.
library holdings reflect the
purpose of the institution, the
curriculum offered and the
courses taught.
Proper library seating ac
commodations are needed for
at least one-fourth of the lar
gest number of students on the
campus at any one period of
the day.
Two and four year colleges
should remain open for service
a minimum of 60 hours a week.
(These standards takenfrom;
Standards of the College Dele
gate Assembly of The Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools. Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools: At
lanta, Georgia (November 29,
1967) pp. 17, 18.)
At present Gardner-Webb has
a library committee composed
of faculty, student and admin
istration representatives. This
committee serves an advisory
and implementary role and is
chaired by head librarian Alton
H. Malone.
Each year a $50,000.00 bud
get allotment is provided for
books alone. In addition there
is a $25,000.00 expansion fund
and a matching fund of $25,000.

periodicals, and supplies, etc.
each year.

Two Students Chosen
To Serve In Hometown
(Observer Gastonia Bureau) -
Two G. W. students of Kings
Mountain, N. C., Reg Alexander
and Larry Wood, have been ap
pointed by the Kings Mountain
city commissioners to serve
on two of the city’s boards and
committees.
Mayor John Henry Moss says
he believes this experiment is
unique in the nation. “In just
a few short years these will be
the leaders of the community
and we felt it was our respon
sibility to bring them into the
mainstream of civic affairs,”
Moss said. He said the students
were selected by local govern
ment, school and church offi
cials.
Miss Shelby 1970?
The Shelby Jaycees are beginning their search for the lovely
girl to wear the crown of Miss Shelby for 1970. The local pageant
is tentatively scheduled for April 24, 1970 at the Shelby City
Park. The entries chairman would appreciate the communities’
aid in our search for young beauties. If a person is interested
in entering a contestant in the pageant, please contact Stanley
Morgan at 487-4615 or write 1411 Lackey Street. The age range
is from 18-28 years of age, Cleveland County resident.
Miss Shelby of 1970 will receive a scholarship and will repre
sent Shelby in the Miss North Carolina Pageant of 1971.
At present the seating capa
city of Dover Library meets the
minimum requirements of the
S.A.C.S.
Operating hours meet the re
quirements at present.
As far as being assured that
faculty members aid in book se
lection and that our library col
lection reflects the purpose of
this institution, the curriculum
offered, and the courses taught,
we may refer to the stated
Philosophy of Dover Memorial
Library. This statement of pur
pose begins as follows:
“In the college program of
Christian Education to meet
the needs of students, teachers,
and other community members,
Dover Memorial Library pro
poses to participate as fol
lows:” and lists among other
things working with “. . . pro
fessors in the selection and use
of books and other materials
which will contribute to their
teaching programs.”
In summary, one can seethat
the basic accreditation stan
dards of the S.A.C.S. work to
insure that the college library
has the essentials with which it
can carry-out its vital role on
campus. Dover Memorial Li
brary meets these minimum
standards necessary for accre
ditation.
We can as students aid in
progress towards accreditation
by seeking information on stan
dards not only of our library
but other campus agencies as
well. This is not just our duty
or responsibility tjut is a task
working toward a goal in which
we share an important common
In a recent Alpha Nu Omega meeting, entertainment
committee chairman Steve Coldron announced that the student
vote of February 10 was in favor of raising the student enter
tainment fee for next year from $7.50 to $12.50.
Student Activities Director Tom Poston has said that
he hopes to have the 1970-71 Student Handbook in the hands of the
students by the end of this semester.
The CID student lounge is now open at night for the
students. However, this is on a temporary basis. If it is decided
to continue this permanently, a phone for incoming calls will
be moved into the lounge at night and possibly a TV wiU be pro-
..... Ten high school students were up from Palatka, Florida
visiting the campus this past week-end. They and their four
chaperones are members of Trinity Baptist Church in Palatka,
the church where FOCUS members held services this past se
mester over the Thanksgiving holidays.
Thought from Mr. “ Pinkerton” Howell on Monday,
February 16: “The Sweetwater must have made it for real with
bringing their own sprinkler system.”

Forty-one students from
Gardner-Webb have and will
attend mission conferences at
three Southern Baptist semi
naries in February and March.
Rev. Charles (Buddy) Free
man, college minister, said the
number was “very good” and
the fact that three seminaries
will be visited was a change
from previous years.
Six of the students went to
Southeastern Seminary Feb
ruary 13-15 at Wake Forest,
North Carolina. Twenty-five
have signed up to go to Sou
thern Seminary, Louisville,
Kentucky, February 28-March
2. Ten have signed up to at
tend the mission conference
at Southwestern Seminary, Fort
Worth, Texas, March 6-8.
“We are very pleased with
the number of ministerial stu
dents that we have this year
and their interest in such e-
vents as these mission con
ferences,” said Rev. Freeman.
“Such interest does much to
help the students progress as
well as provide an atmosphere
for spiritual growth among all
of our students.”
