Life-Long Dream
Becomes Reality
Five Gardner-Webb students
had the opportunity to go to Sal
tillo, Mexico to study. These stu
dents were Martha Wright, Judy
Greene, Ewine Rymer, Tom Wy
lie, and Sam Hopkins. They left
on June 4 and returned on July
15. They took subjects at the Uni
versity International where all
classes were conducted in Spanish.
While there, they had oppor
tunities to attend fiestas, pinata
parties, visit schools, plazas, im
portant buildings, etc. They also
had the chance to learn many of
the customs of the Mexicans which
proved to be very interesting.
These students also had their
embarrassing moments while in
Mexico such as being escorted •
home by chief of police, asking
for toilet paper and receiving a
mop, and getting lost on the way
While their stay in Mexico was
spiced with both> good and bad
events, all five students will agree
that their trip proved to be a
learning experience and a very en
joyable time.
There is a new staff personality
on campus whose name is David
Webb, a former student of Gard-
ner-Webb who graduated in 1971

presently, employed at the college
under the official title of Assis

Office Manager.
As a student here at Gardner-

student government.
When Raymond Davis, admis
sions counselor, tells prospective
students about Gardner-Webb he
is speaking from experience. Born
in Ashe County, N. C.; he 'grad
uated from Gardner-Webb in 1972
with a B.S. in physical education.
Now he is spending much of his
time traveling to high schools rep
resenting the Bulldogs at “Col
lege Nights” and meeting with in
terested students about the college.
As a student, he led a busy life
by working, helping, and leading
in every way he could. During his
sophomore year he was class pres
ident, vice-president of the Men’s
Affairs Council, arid a member of
the Alpha Nu Omega and Enter
tainment Committees. He repre
sented the college in the National
Entertainment Convention in Phil
adelphia. In both his sophomore
and junior years, he was the sta-
tiscian for all sports activities.
Also in his junior year he was
sports editor for the “Anchor”
and Assistant Dorm Counselor at
ciety and then president of this
organization the following year.
He was also president of the day
students class his sophomore and
junior years. His senior year gave
him the honor of being elected to
Who’s Who and he was also con
sidered in the Top Ten.
Mr. Webb’s interests include
music and sports. In fact, he
states that he is a "sports fanatic”.
This young man is also active in
church and is an ordained deacon
of Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church.
He is really excited about his
position in the Public Relations
department. His comments on his
work here at the- school are: “It
has been my ambition and life
long dream to be on the staff at
Gardner-Webb. I like what it
stands for and like being a part
of it. It has made me real happy
to have the opportunity to work
under a man of Mr. Bill Boyd’s
caliber.”
Lutz-Yelton. Continuing in the
same manner in his senior year he
was once again class president,
Head Resident of Lutz-Yelton,
and a member on several com
mittees, including the President’s
Future Curriculum Committee,
personal services committee, and
Spring Jubilee Committee. In all
three of these years he was a
member of the Physical Education
Major’s Club.
When he’s not traveling or
working in the admission’s office,
he spends much of his time par
ticipating in any kind of sport
available. He also enjoys working
with the BSU and other religious
organizations and furthering his
musical abilities, be it on the
piano, guitar, or French harp.
In reflecting upon his new ca
reer at Gardner-Webb, Mr. Davis
says, “I don’t think I could have
found any place I would have
enjoyed more, than the total at
mosphere and environment here
at Gardner-Webb.”
Mens Affairs
Council
In early September, the Men’s
Affairs Council officers were ^fect-
ed to represent the men's residence
halls and portable housing stu
dents.
The president is Jay Johnson,
vice-president is Jeff McNeil, and
elected secretary - treasurer was
Bobby Jacobs. Mr. Martin Banner
is the advisor for the council.
Mr. Banner stated that MAC
handles "any minor rules and reg
ulations less than the campus
code.” MAC is “striving to be
come less of a judiciary body and
is attempting to establish planned
programs and activities for the
mirie resident students.”
