BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—A retired Southern Baptist pastor who took up clock making as a hobby has presented Gardner- Webb College with a beautiful seven foot grandfather clock with an interesting “history”. Rev. H.M. Stroup, of Spruse Pine, took some wood grown in the yard of the first and only woman hung in North Carolina and made the clock case. The wood came from the home of Frankie Silver who murdered her husband with an ax in 1831. She was hung in Morganton after being convicted by a jury. The retired pastor, now 85 years old, decided upon his retirement that he “ needed something to do.” He took up clock making and has made several hundred clocks in the past 20 years. The walnut clock has been placed in the lobby of the coll ege’s Webb Adminstration Building. It is of colonial de sign and has a breadarch dial with an antique urass finish with Roman numerals. It is 89 inches tall and 18 inches Dr. E. Eugene Poston, pre sident of Gardner-Webb, ex pressed his appreciation to Rev. Stroup for the clock. “ This will be a wonderful conversation piece as well as a time piece for the lobby of our adminstration building,” said Dr. Poston. “We appre ciate Mr. Stroup making this gift and we shall cherish it for many years.” Priceless Old Newspapers Are Donated To G-W By ^^Pop^’ Crymes Last spring two early Amer ican newspapers were donated to the college by Mr. Cleon Crymes, Director of Campus Activities. One paper is a Massachusetts Sun dated May 3, 1773, and the other is a Charleston Gazette dated July 15, 1784. Dr. Poston termed the price less papers as a “real gener ous gift on the part of Mr. Crymes. They are of great historical value to Gardner- Webb College and an attrac tion for all to see.” The pap ers will be displayed in the new library when it is com- Mr. Crymes, better known to students as “Pop”, is a popular member of the coll ege staff. Although he is well like among the students, very few know much about him. Born and raised in Richmond and Chase City, Virginia, Pop was educated at the University of Richmond and Merganthaler College in New York. He was a photographer for a paratroop division during World W'ar n and after the war he started a printing shop in Chase City where he work ed as a printer and publisher for 22 years. Coming to the college in Feb ruary, 1970, Pop has made many friends in the student body and students go to him with their questions and problems. Pop admits that the students were skeptical about his new posi tion here at school. “The kids think_ that I’m an S. B. I. agent or a cop, but this is positively, absolutely untrue. I am not connected in any way with any pi'ofessional police Classes Choose Faculty Sponsor l'’aculty sponsors for the Freshmen, Junior, and Senior classes have been announced this week. The Freshmen class sponsor is Mr. Tony Eastman, Mrs. Dan Proctor is the Junior class spiinsor, and Mr. Lyman Ferrell is the Senior class sponsor. The Sophomore class does not have an advisor. The sponsors for each class advise students during class meetings and supervise activi ties of each class. New Health Job Begins In U.S. The U. S. Civil Service Com mission has announced the es tablishment of Physicians’s As sistant as a new occupation in the Federal service. The esta blishment of this occupation is the result of the Commission’s efforts, in collaboration with the medical profession, to dev elop innovative approaches to the critical health manpower problems facing this Nation. A Physician’s Assistant in the Federal service will be su pervised by a medical doctor and will perform designated diagnostic and therapeutic tasks. He will carry out pro cedures such as taking medical histories, applying and remov ing casts, and suturing minor lacerations -- work that tra ditionally has been performed by the physician. The Commission hasissueda qualification standard that specifies education and experi ence required of candidates for Physician’s Assistant positions in the Federal service. Candidates for entrance- level positions at GS - 7 ($8,098) typically must have completed a specialized 12- month course of study designed to provide the knowledge and skills required of professional- caliber physician’s assistants. In addition, they must have a work. The only police work I do is everything within my po wer to try to make the boys and girls at Gardner-Webb into some semblance of Christian ladies and gentlemen.” lie went on to say, “People natur ally fear what they can’t under stand and that’s why I’m always glad to answer questions, be cause I don’t want anyone to ever be afraid of Pop.” Besides his duties as Dir ector of Campus Activities , which makes him responsible for a countless number of campus supervisions, Pop is also very active in the Boiling Springs Rotary Club. In Vir ginia, he was a 32nd degree Mason, a Lion, a Ruritan, a life - time member of the Jaycees, and a Boy Scout Mas- He has numerous hobbies such as painting and art coll ecting, but traveling is his fa vorite. “I don’t think that Til ever get over the joy that I have when I travel.” He is looking forward to seeing Eu- broad prior background of medical knowledge. This back ground could be acquired by a bachelor’s degree in a health care occupation such as nurs ing, or by 3 years of respon sible experience such as ser ving as independent-duty med ical corpsman in the military rope and the Middle East this spring when he will take a twenty-one day tour. Asked about what he thought of the students. Pop said, “If it means anything, I love them all. I guess it is because Fn- a bachelor and have no child ren of my own, I can honestly love them and hope they love me.” He concluded by saying “The kids at Gardner- Webb are head and shoulders above other college students and with out them there would not be a Gardner-Webb.” Pop is pleased that the coll ege is going into four year status, “I would like to live to see the day that Gardner- Webb is big in every sense at the word but never so big that it loses its personal touch. I want everyone who has ever been connected with the school to be proud that they had the honor. I want to live to see the day that people from any where will know what I’m talk ing about, when I say Gardner- Webb.” service. A nationwide examination an nouncement inviting applica tions from qualified candidates will be issued by the Commiss ion early in 1971. A panel of medical doctors will evaluate the qualifications of candidates for the Physician’s Assistant positions. Food For Thought One of the biggest areas of complaint from students concerns the cafeteria. It is difficult to find anyone who has something favorable to say about it at all. However, students should realize that if you have a 7-day meal ticket, you’re only pay ing 52(! per meal, and that really isn’t bad. The PILOT was interested in finding suggestions which students have for im proving the cafeteria. Some comments are seen below. Shirley Young: “Request separate lines be made for those going back for seconds so that those who haven’t eaten yet could have enough left for them. They could serve the food in a more pleasant way. Eut I do appreciate the pleasant atti tudes of the cafeteria workers.” Susan Anderson: “The cafeteria should be bigger and the table arrangement is terrible. The only thing good is that not many people come to breakfast so you don’t have to stand in line. Leland Kerr: “They should take action on those who leave their trays lying around. Dry trays before they bring them up. The food selection has gotton better lately. The silverware could be cleaner.” Gail Turner: “A wider selection of sandwiches would be good, and they should cover up the bread so that it wouldn’t get hard. They should keep things cleaner, especially the silver and the trays. The tables are clean though, and their deserts are good.” Although each of us has our gripe about the cafeteria, we should keep in mind that the workers work very hard in pre paring and cleaning up three times a day for about 800 stu dents. We ought to give them our thanks, and maybe then we would see some improvements.

Financial Aid And Placement Offices Move To Church Annex By Samala High During the week of December 6, the Financial Aid Depart ment moved from the Webb Administration Building to first floor Church Annex. This move will enlarge the office’s fac ilities and consolidate financial aid and placement into one department. The Financial Aid and Placement Department will deal with financial aid, loans, scholarships, student work, job placement for all seniors and alumni, and any related matters. Mr. Jesse Lee Taylor, Financial Aid Officer, urges all students with a problem of any student who desires part-time work to come by his office. At the present time 50% of the student body is receiving some type of financial aid. Also, from time to time, off cam pus jobs become available and the Financial Aid Office would like to have a list of interested students who could be con tacted. All seniors will complete a questionaire to be used in help ing them to find jobs and following up their success. Seven school systems will be on campus in the spring to interview teachers. The move to the church provides rooms for these and other job placement interviews. The Financial Aid and Placement Office is a student ser vice for your use.
