About this time last year,
a movement to conserve
energy was enacted. Many
solutions were suggested i
Gardner-Webb is for every
one to make a concentrated
effort to conserve energy.
Several ways to accomplish

Government in the spring of Emergency Loan Fund (Ac-
1972 when Jeff Cranford was count No. 577) began with a
SGA President. The loan total of $500.00. Two-hun-
fund was established be
cause interest was generated added from the Recreation

attend the NAIA Tourna- and the remaining $250.00 money from this fund. The
loan had to be repaid within
a 90-day period or before the
end of the semester, depend
ing upon which came first. A
service fee of $2.00 was
charged toward each loan
made.
It became apparent to Mr.
Tom Poston, Director of
Student Activities and
Placement, that the Loan
fund would have to be closed
out due to difficulty in mak
ing collections. He found too
much dishonesty among the
students who borrowed from
the loan fund. He felt most
of the students borrowed the
money with intentions of
never paying it back. Also,
Mr. Poston did not feel that
his office should become a
collecting agency for the
SGA Emergency Loan
Fund.
For these reasons, the
SGA Emergency Loan Fund
has been eliminated and no
more loans will be made
from this particular fund.
The remaining amount in
the loan fund ($617.00) was
transferred back to the Stu
dent Center Board Account
(No. 564). This amount
would have been up to
$1,200 if debts had been paid
back.

an increase in consumption,
