For Fall Semester
Spring Jubilee Queen
''Peace, Love, Harmony^''
“Peace, Ha^'mony, Love” was
the theme for the Spring Jubilee
celebration. The annual event was
April 26-28.
The weekend events began with
a concert on Thursday night
featuring “True Direction” in Bost
Physical Education Gymnasium.
The second annual Spring
Jubilee Ball was held on Friday
night. The gymnasium was
decorated for the occasion and
students were attired in semi-
formal dress. A six-piece band,
“Truth,” provided the music for
the ball. Highlighting the evening
was the crowning of the Spring
Jubilee Queen Micky McSwain.
She was crowned by newly-elected
SGA President Jeff McNeill.
The Court included the queen
and a representative from each
class. Spring Jubilee Queen Micky
McSwain was escorted by Joe
Speight. The senior attendant was
Carolyn Vinson who was escorted
by Jody Anthony. The junior class
representative was Sandy Smith
who was escorted by Steve Riddle.
Martha Wright, escorted by Sam
Mattison, was the sophomore class
attendant. June Carroll repre
sented the freshmen and she was
accompanied by Rick McHaffey.
Saturday, April 28, was a
beautiful spring day involving
many activities. The morning
hours included a tumbling
exhibition in Bost Gymnasium.
Open dorms were held in the af
ternoon.
A field day with pie-eating con
test, apple-bob, egg toss, greasy
pole climb, tug-of-war, and three-
legged race was sponsored by the
Physical Education Majors Club.
It was held at the athletic fields
and concluded with a campus pic
nic supper served at the field.
Saturday night included a con
cert at Bost Gymnasium. The
concert featured “Kallabash,
Corp.” and ”Early Morning Fogg.”
No more early morning rushes to
beat the crowd, and no more long
registration lines. Pre-registration
has hit Gardner-Webb. All students
who pre-register before they
leave for the summer will be ready
to start classes next fall. All return
ing students will return to campus
the day before classes begin, and all
they will be required to do is to pick
up their identification card,
register their car and have their
ANCHOR picture made.
April 27 began the processing of
all pre-registration cards. The com
puter will be able to arrange each
person’s class schedule in 30
seconds.
The cards will be fed into the
computer with seniors having first
preference, to assure that they
receive the courses that they need
to graduate. The computer wiU
take the courses you asked for and
as these classes fill up, alternates
will be used.
Pre-registration will continue
through the summer and if any
changes develop during the sum
mer concerning schedule changes,
contact Dr. Dan Proctor and he will
be able to make the necessary
changes. Also all first semester
freshmen and transfer students
will re-register by mail before they
arrive on campus.
Before any student can pre
register it is required that he have
filed his declaration of intention to
retain membership at Gardner-
Webb and he must have paid his
deposit. These final arrangements
must be made by August 6.
Dr. Proctor stated that all
students who have pre-registered
will have priority over other
students when schedule changes
are necessary.
All students who have not pre
registered will be required to return
to campus August 21 for
registration.
With the completion of the wing
to the Webb Administration
Building, the registration process
will be centered in the Ad
ministration Building and the
Student Personnel Services area of
the Student Center.
A simple registration this spring
will avoid the rush next fall. Pre-
registration is not early
registration but it is all that will be
required. Schedule forms can be
checked before students leave for
the summer.
Gardner-Webb On The Air
Gardner-Webb CoUege has fUed
an application with the Federal
Communication Commission in
Washington, D. C., for a radio
station which would broadcast in
the college community and other
areas within a fifty mile radium.
Dr. J. Roy Robinson, Director of
External Affairs, is in charge of the
project and is very optimistic
about the F.C.C. approving the ap
plication. In an interview with the
Pilot he stated that the FM station
would provide a variety of
educational, secular, religious and
public service programs suited for
the students, faculty and the
general public. It will be a non
commercial Christian undertaking
with a definite purpose of not only
entertaining but also educating.
The expense of organizing the
station will be approximately
$25,000. This will include the
acquiring of transmitters, tape re
corders, control panels, micro
phones, and other needed equip
ment. Donald Lovelace of WAGI of
Gaffney has been instrumental in
planning for the prospective
station and will be chief engineer if
the station is approved.
The location of the station is
uncertain but is tentatively plan
ned to be hosed in the Hamrick
Building or the Alumni House. It
will be operated by the students.
Students interested in the
programming, production, engi
neering and management may con
