The 1972-73 editor of the stu dent publication, the PILOT has been announced by the Public Re lations Office. Samala High of Baltimore, Mary land will be editor-in-chief of the PILOT.

Any student wishing to be on the Pilot 'staff can contact Samala or apply in 11 i CID. The student editor of the AN CHOR, OW’s annual will be an nounced at a later date. In a recent interview with the PILOT the officers commented on the recent campus unrest which has pointed out a great problem at GW, the lack of communica tion. The new officers are con vinced that better lines of com munication between the three branches of SGA, between student leaders and their constituents, and between the students and adminis tration must be maintained. It has SAMALA HIGH been suggested by the executive council that the communication problem may be alleviated by the circulation pf minutes from the meetings of key organizations and personnel across the campus. The executive officers recognize the need to change certain areas of campus life but feel the SGA should first serve as a source of stabilization among students, fac ulty, and administration. “There is the great need for students to review all facets of SGA. By thorough acquaintance with the factions involved, the students can further attain the goal of first hand student government. Students must subject their SGA executive offi cers to their viewpoint and offer suggestions and criticisms.” This is a statement given by Steve Riddle who also told of the recent execu tive council planning meeting. In this meeting there was a discus sion of the- present campus code, orientation for next year’s fresh men, fall registration and the 1972 homecoming festivities. The newly elected officers will officially begin their work next fall.

GAY GREEN DONNA ELLINGTON BECKY ABERNATHY Newly elected SGA officers for ’72-’73 are from right to left: Bob Grani, treasurer; Burt Skinner, vice president; Steve Riddle, president; Mike Stewart, chief justice; and Candy Cline, secretary. ’71 - '72 Perspective 1971-1972 was a unique year indeed for the Webb. It was a year of advancement, national recognition, hard work, a few disappoint ments, and for the seniors, one of mixed emotions. To start off the year with a bang, a man named Johnny Cash ap peared on campus September 28. Students thought this was just a rumor at first, but it became quite a reality when classes were called off for the day. He gave a concert in the stadium, received an honory doctor’s degree from this institution, and was quickly whisked off to Charlotte, leaving GW national fame by his presence, and leaving the staff and students’ heads spinning. December 1, 1971, saw a dream come true as GW received accre ditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Seniors and 1971 graduates breathed a sigh of relief as they were then sure their diploma was secure. Football season brought the gridders hard luck and bad breaks as they fell to some close games, and ended the season with a 3-7 mark-. But the cagers started a trend on November 23 against Piedmont Col lege in Bost Gym that was to take them all the way to Kansas City, where they concluded the season with a 31-5 mark and ended 4th in the NAIA. This was probably the highlight of the year for GW students, as they listened intently night after night while the Dogs knocked off each opponent until they met Eau Claire and Kentucky State. It was also a big year for senior George Adams as he brought in th^ honors and be came one of GW’s biggest athletes. For the Student Government Association this year was a test for the new constitution. Under the leadership of Jeff Cranford, the SGA advanced by leaps and bounds, and the students began to feel their power and use it constructively. The senate bought many new changes, such as the pool tables, pin ball machines, and the altogether new look for the CID. Also they enacted a new rule for women’s hours. The judicial board too felt their strength and responsibilities throughout the year and in April met their biggest challenge of the year in the “Cam pus Code #7”—the men’s hair rule. Although the SGA has had some disappointments and set backs, on the whole they advanced forward with new power. The year saw some changes on the GW campus, both internally and externally. Several new administrative positions were filled, much needed by the new four-year college. Externally the chapel was under construction all year. Off campus, a new Hamburger joint was establish ed, the Bantam Chef, providing students with a new place to eat be sides the cafeteria or Snack Shop. And speaking of the cafeteria, it was also full of changes, as ice cream was served, a juke box installed, and several outdoor specials provided. Also, other external changes seemed to be longer hair for the men and for women more and more pants. . Several well-known speakers came on campus such as Lord Cara- don, British Ambassador to the U.N., and Grady Nutt, a Baptist come- Second semester saw a new program for students and the com munity in the form of night classes. This lightened the day-time load of many students and provided many with extra hours. Homecoming was traditional, even with the good old GW rain. But, May Day became Spring Jubilee and new festivities such as a Ball were added while the traditional May Day activities were drop- Many, many more activities graced the year such as the drama productions and music specials. We’ve only mentioned the highlights. For seniors, this was their most important year and of course their last. Many are glad to leave, some sad, but all a little older and a little
