Apnl?o Mitch Ryder and the De troit Wheels April THE PILOT 'Some people live and die at Gardner-Webb College.” Tommy Tapp 1967-68 SGA president GARDNER-V/E3B COLLEGE MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1970 BOILING SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA Student Government Elections This Week By DAN SNYDER The Student Government Association will hold its an nual election for new officers for the coming school years 1970-1971 on Thursday, April 9th, in the CID Student Center. As the paper goes to press, there is a mix up as to when the candidates for the offices wUl be presented to the student body. The tentative schedule gives Monday and Wednesday as days for the candidates’ speeches, then, voting will take place all day Thursday. The procedures for the elec tion will be taken care of bythe Student Activities Committee. This committee will count the Malone, Miss Mary Dorsey, and Dr. Eugene A most historic event took place during the week before spring break at Gardner-Webb College when the 50,000th vo lume was placed on the shelves of the John R. Dover Memorial Library by Charles I. Dover, son of Mr, John R. Dover. In the midst of the transi tion from a junior college to a senior college, the need for a larger and more complete li brary has become evident. The library has made unbelievable progress in the past few years. In 1961 there were only 13,300 books on the shelves and in 1967 total books amounted to 32,000. The number has grown by 18,000 in little more than two years. Strange as it may seem, the book that was the 50,000th was co-written by a former Gard- __.r-Webb student, Robert W. Crapps, who is now a member of the faculty at Furman Uni versity, Greenville, S. C. “In troduction to the New Testa ment” was written by Robert W. Crapps, Edgar V. McKnight and David Smith. Crapps graduated from Gard ner-Webb in 1944 and went on to Wake Forest and Southern Seminary. He grew up in Cleve land County, N.C.,G-W’s home county. He graduated from Shel by High School before enrolling at Gardner-Webb. Another interesting fact is that his father, M. S. Crapps, was employed by the Dover family at Esther Mill several years ago. He is now living in Hickory, N. C. Dr. E. Eugene Poston, pre sident of the cdllege, said he felt that this was a “most historic moment” in the his tory of the school. “We are proud of our li brary and its progress,” said Dr. Poston. “However, even though we have reached 50,000 books, we must keep pushing for more. We are in dire need of more library space to take care of our expanding student body of more than 1400 stu dents.” Those present when the 50,000th book was placed on the shelves were: Mr. Lloyd Bost of Shelby, N. C., Chair man of the Board of Trus tees; Mr. Alton Malone, Li brary Director, Gardner- Webb; Thomas McCraw, vice president of Academic Affairs; Mr. Dover and Dr. Poston. Students Attempt To Re-Direct A nd Deepen Traditiondl R evvval On the evening of March 11th, more than fifty students met with representatives of the college’s religious activities committee to “brain-storm” ideas which would re-direct and deepen the traditional fall revival. The students expressed an interest in inviting a variety of speakers for the week — students; visiting ministers; and Christian leaders in sports, entertainment, and business. A pre-school retreat, an off- campus coffee house, better counseling, small-group meet ings, enteirtaining one-night preview programs, and more innovative terminol(^y were all suggested as methods which would help communicate a better understanding of genuine Christianity. Committees were formed to do further thinking and plan ning. Seven areas of Interest are represented: activities that begin the emphasis (retreat, programs, coffee house); pra yer and personal preparation; witness and/or counselee en listment and training; academic arrangements (time schedule, coordination); music; speakers; and meetings; and follow-up. Any student, faculty member, or administrator interested in becoming a member of one of these committees should send his name and his choice to Dr. Bob Lamb, Box 55 at the cam pus post office.

College Library Receives 50,000th Volume Over Half Of Student Body R eceives Financial A id By JEFF CRANFORD From the loan recipient to the part-time worker, financial aid is affecting the lives of a rapidly increasing number of Gardner-Webb students. This year it is estimated that 55 to 60% of the student body re ceived some type of aid to the tune of approximately $750,000. Even this figure, which is more than one-fourth of the total school budget, is a conserva tive one which does not account for new loan or scholarships initiated by churches, mills, industries and individuals. These new forms of aid being brought to the attention of the aid office almost daily are es timated to total around another $100,000. Prior to 1966, financial aid was handled by the Business Manager, along with his other duties. During 1966 a part- tiine Financial Aid Officer position was initiated. In the 1967-68 academic year Mr. Jesse Taylor took over as full time Financial Aid Officer. Development of the Finan cial Aid program at Gardner- Webb parallels the expansion of the National Defense Student Loan program of Uncle Sam. The NDSL pr(^ram began in 1960. Inl965Gardner-Webbwas receiving only $18,000 a year. If present requests are ap proved, and they almost sure ly will be, G. W. will receive over $300,000 from the gov ernment alone. Presently there are over 750 borrowers from the NDSL prc^ram. This total increases by 150 each year and will soon exceed 1,000 a year. It is the responsibility of the Financial Aid Office to maintain contact with these students and keep them informed concerning pro cedures for repayment of their loans. This is a small part of the tremendous task being done by the Financial Aid office. In all instances where other persons’ money Is involved, guidelines for its use are es tablished. In many instances stipulations are made con trolling the administration of monies. An example is loans provided by various states for their own citizens. South Carolina has recently estab lished such a loan program. It is the responsibility of the Financial Aid office to insure that these guidelines are fol lowed. This office is open from eight to five weekdays. Normally, Mr. Taylor counsels with twenty-five to thirty students daily. If a student has needs, the Financial Aid office exists to serve him. If a student is receiving aid, frequent visits are encouraged to enable the Financial Aid office to render the best possible service.
