PAGE 2 THE PILOT, GARDNER-WEBB COLLEGE,
Phase One
Now Work
Complete
For A SGA
Letters
Phase one of the Statement
of Action proposed by the stu
dent Committee of Eight and
printed on page two of the
March 2 Pilot, is behind us.
A new revised SGA Constitu
tion has overwhelmingly been
adopted seven to one by a re-
cord number of student voters
(790),
Students of Gardner-Webb
now have a document whereby
they can begin to attempt self-
government. Within the frame
work of the new Constitution
we can start to work for es
tablishment of a SGA second
to none in the nation.
Many obstacles lie in the
path to a strong and effective
SGA, which is phase two of
the Eight’s statement. We are
all aware of the traditional and
legal obstacles and must rea
listically accept these limit
ations. However, there are
other obstacles to forming a
responsible student govern
ment. One , is the attitude
which rejects working over a
period of time within a rational
framework is the greatest en
emy we have to student parti
cipation in the decision-making
process.
Another obstacle which we
the students of Gardner-Webb
can overcome is the division
within the student body. Our
world is a place full of di
verse viewpoints, beliefs and
life styles. In spite of this
reality, there are common goals
which all students should share.
First, the opportunity to be
come a responsible adult in
dividual, making one’s own de
cisions about personal matters.
Second, the opportunity to learn
through self-involvement the
process of working together
with one’s peers to achieve a
better society. This will be the
foundation of tomorrow ’s
America even though some
seem to be blind to that fact.
finally, I would list the op
portunity to contribute that sin
gular ability or gift which we
have towards making Gardner-

Webb a better nlace to live and
a better institution of learning:
a place second to none in cit
izenship and responsibility to
society.
These are worthwhile goals
and must become a reality if
our school is to grow and pro
sper in the future. What can
bring these goals about? It
will be the responsible action
of every student which in turn
brings responsible reaction
from the other segments of the
college community.
Will you work responsibly to
accomplish phase two of a pro

your citizenship and self-gov

Dear Editor
Concerning the chapel we
have Tuesday mornings, could
there possibly be something
done to shade the sun from
beating down on everyone’s neck
and back. This is very hot and
uncomfortable.
Charlie Gaskin
Editor’s Note:
We too have noticed how un
comfortable the sun can cause
students on the left side of the
gym to be during chapel. This
will become more true as the
season of the year changes and
the sun begins to shine more
brightly and be at an angle
which beams it on the students
are men to visit in the rooms
of girls without permission from
the dorm director, neither are
they to talk with girls outside
their windows.”
(8) Men’s visiting hours in
the lobbies of women’s resi
dences will be 12 noon until
10 p.m. Monday through Thurs
day.
The Women’s affairs Board
also recommended the follow
ing to be adopted as a policy
for dating during the week-
nights. These recommendations
have been approved by the ad
ministrative committee.
(1) All students may date on
campus until 10 p.m. Monday
through Thursday. They may
also go to the business area
of Boiling Springs until 10 p.m.
Monday through Thursday.
(2) All freshmen and sopho
mores with less than a 2.0
overall average may date off

and the University of Georgia
were represented along with
Gardner-Webb.
The Society is a professional
organization of Biblical schol

Dr. Ballard, a member of the
Religion Department, read his

SGA Campaigns A Must
For Involved Student
As nominations for SGA of
fices closed today a new seg
ment of the race began. The
time has come when each stu
dent must begin to evaluate the
candidates, determine the one
»ho best represents his idea of
effective student government,
and most importantly, begins
to support him in every way
during his campaign.
We have an opportunity in
this transitional stage of Gar
dner - Webb’s history to do
something positive and con
structive. Will student gover
nment continue to operate on
a low level of protest against
the establishment or will it
climb to a higher level of res
ponsible action and involvement
which can bring about greater
understanding and change?

Raindrops trickle
from leaves—
tears,

Love—like

Green’s Explanation
A Positive Attempt
We were glad U
planation of new meal ticket
policies by Mr. Green which
was recently given to each stu
dent. More of this type of
communication may lessen
some of the antagonism bet
ween students and staff, espe
cially in the area of cafeteria
service.
We noticed, however, many
copies of Mr- Green’s letter
laying on the floor of the CID.
This would tend to discourage
me if I were In his shoes. It
almost surely would not give
me a desire to improve cafe
teria conditions. What’s that
old saying about, “biting the
hand that feeds you?”

We would hope that constru
ctive comments such as the
one above will be taken into
consideration by those in charge
of setting up or planning chapel
services. A little cooperation
in this small matter could les
son the resentment and lack
of interest in chapel.
Book Review
A New Populist
Call To Action
by Victor de Keyserling
“What’s the future of this
city?” I asked.
“It’s like a man with term
inal cancer,” he replied.”
Fred Harris, 40 the Senator
from Oklahoma, was speaking
to a young policeman in the
Bronx, but he has felt and un
derstood that hopelessness
[everywhere, among citizens
who often seem to share little
but their distrust of others,
their perception that the Amer-
!ica they believe in has gone
terribly wrong, and their con
viction that nothing much is
going to De done to set
it right.
His tough and perceptive
views are expressed in NOW
B THE TIME: A NEW POP
ULIST CALL TO ACTION, pub
lished today by McGraw-Hill
($6.95),
The Senator believes that,
deeper than enmity and des
pair, “If we will but listen,
we will find that all over Amer
ica, people of the most disp
arate backgrounds—the young
college student, the militant
black, the suburban housewife
—are saying the same thing:
we want to live in a society
which believes in something,
which stands for something, in
which there are some obvious
values and ideals; and we are
tired of having so little power
in helping make decisions.”
Fred Harris argues eloquen
tly that a “new populist coali
tion” in America can be built
on trust, not fear, by respond
ing to real needs, not by
creating new hatreds. He writes
of his efforts, nationally and in
his own state, to create and
maintain a coalition among In
dians, blacks, poor white^ and
ordinary working people of
every persuasion, and he tells
how it can be done.
“It is not just the young,”
he says, “who feel out of tilings
and who are looking for mean
ing and purpose In their lives.
It is a dangerous and immoral
thing—though all too easy--to
pit the ‘hard hats’ against the
•kids’, or the blacks against the
'red necks’, and no man knows
the end of that. But those who
attempt to do so are also ig
norant of the fact that these
groups have very nearly the
same needs and frustrations,
whether or not they, themsel
ves, yet realize it.”
