PAGE 2—THE PILOT, Tuesday, September 14, 1971, Gardner-Webb College Presidents 1971-72 Challenge Students LETTER FROM DR. POSTON There is a statement in the Old Testament that contains the fol lowing thought: “For we have not passed this way before.” The school year 1971-1972 is a new way. Not one member of the Gardner-Webb family has traveled it. However, we shall travel it to- 1971-1972 is the year of accre ditation as a senior college. It is a year of a new Student Govern ment and Faculty Constitution. It is a year in which we can show that we are able to govern our selves in a Christian manner. What will the year 1971-1972 bring? You and I will decide. May it bring full accreditation and a spirit of Christian love and broth erhood. —Eugene Poston President LETTER FROM SGA PRESIDENT In the midst of campaigning for the Student Senate a tew remarks about the duties and responsibili ties of this body and its officers are timely. The SGA Executive Officers cannot stress enough the necessity of putting responsible, mature, and hard-working individ uals in these 36 key positions of leadership. It is very important that during the present campaigning students take a good long look at the field of candidates and the way their respective campaigns are being conducted. If you see individuals who are putting some work and originality in their campaign, chances are they will bring those same characteristics to their Senate In addition, candidates who have a good working knowledge of the SGA Constitution and By laws and have formulated some ideas and a platform based on these documents will be ahead of the game if elected. Don’t passive ly allow the chance to look over those who will be doing the most important work in the SGA slip by. Some important duties of the Student Senate when it is seated will be to approve the appoint ment of Justices to the Student Judicial Body, appoint student representatives to key faculty com mittees, establish necessary com mittees of its own to handle plan ning of important student activi ties such as Homecoming, and to begin the process of legislating rules and regulations affecting the a;udent body. As you may imagine these duties are going to be time consuming and require a large portion of hard work. The importance of punctual '.enators who are consistently pres- nt at meetings must be empha sized. The SGA Constitution and specifically the By-laws lay down system of insuring that these duties are conscientiously carried out. Article VII, Section A, p. 2 of the By-laws calls for the im peachment of any Senator or other SGA officer who does not attend scheduled meetings of his or her branch of the SGA. You have my personal pledge as President that those who take their responsibili ties of representing the students who put them in office lightly of indifferently will be held account able for their actions. Whether or not our college will continue to move in the direction of self-discipline and self-govern ment by the student body will be determined by the degree of re sponsibility shown by all student aders and most importantly the Student Senate and Student Judi- .al Body. —Jeff Cranford President, SGA Letters To PILOT Welcomed The PILOT welcomes letters to the editor from students, faculty, or administration.
