Meet Dr. McDonald
DR. LEROY MCDONALD
New Campaign
One particularly interest
ing individual on campus is
Dr. Leroy McDonald, pro
fessor of business and eco
nomics here. Dr. McDonald
has been teaching at Gard-
ner-Webb since 1973.
Dr. McDonald was bom in
Rhode Island. When he was
three, his family moved to
Seekonk, Massachusetts
and he remained there on a
farm until the age of 17.
After his seventeenth
birthday, he left home to
start college. He had to work
his way through college, as
this was the time of the
Great Depression and
money was very scarce.
All his college years were
spent at Boston University
where he earned four de
grees: B.A., M.A., LL. B.,
and J.D. degrees. He served
as the chairman of the Bos
ton University Law Review
during his senior year in
Law School.
In addition to academics.
Dr. McDonald also parti
cipated in sports. He played
football in college and after
wards played two years of
professional football.
Since finishing college,
Dr. McDonald has taught
economics in high schools
and has done guest lecturing
in economics at many grad
uate schools. In addition to
teaching he also served as
chief legal counsel and eco
nomist for the Rand Cor-
pwration in New Jersey for
24 years. He also served as
the investment advisor to
the Rhode Island State
Teachers’ Investment C!oop-
erative.
Since coming to Gardner-
Webb, Dr. McDonald has
been extremely happy with
the college and what it
stands for. He feels that the
future of Gardner-Webb is
immense because of the per
sonal relations between the

Department is expected to
grow even more. It will cost
$600,000 and be annexed to
Lindsay building.
The Science Building ad
dition, costing $400,000, will
be added to the present
Withrow Science building.
The present building was de
signed to serve a student
body of 600 and since that
figiire has doubled, more
space is needed.
The third financial goal,
resource and equipment
needs, totals $1 million.
Building and equipment
improvements will require
$500,000. Some classroom
buildings need to be air con
ditioned. Also, new equip
ment needs to be purchased
and installed, especially in
the new proposed classroom
buildings.
Dover Library acquisi
tions will take up $250,000.
Basic research works, up-to-
date periodical holdings, and
a wider selection of record
ing and audio-visual ma
terials need to be purchased
in order for Gardner-Webb
to keep up to senior college
standards.
The remaining $250,000 is
to be used for landscaping,
roads, and tennis courts.
Two objectives will be met
once the foregoing needs are
realized. First, the college
will be able to provide an
educational opportunity of
uniformly high quality
through improved academic
facilities and enlarged in
structional resources. Se
cond, the college will be able
to assure those students
who want to enroll the
chance to do so regardless of
financial circumstances.
^Reflections ’ Accepting
Literary Work
“Reflections,” the Gard
ner-Webb College Literary
magazine, announces a lite
rary competition open to all
residents of North Carolina.
In its eighth year of publi
cation, “Reflections” offers
$250 in prize money for en
tries of original material
that are judged to be excep
tional. The money is made
possible by a grant from the
North Carolina Arts Coun
cil.
Submissions of original
poetry, short stories, essays
and plays should be directed
to “Reflections,” The En
glish House, Gardner-Webb
College, Boiling Springs,
N.C. 28017. Contributions
will not be received after De
cember 31. No material wiU
be returned.
The magazine will recog
nize the American Bicenten
nial and writings on an
American theme will be ac
cepted. However, material
on any subject will be con
sidered for publication.
In addition to the state
wide competition, “Reflec
tions” is sponsoring a high
school poetry contest for
students in the immediate
piedmont area of Boiling
Springs. The contest is in
conjunction with the col
lege’s bicentennial activi
ties.
The 1976 edition of “Re
flections” will be on sale in
the spring. A copy may be
reserved by sending $1.50 to
“Reflections,” The English
House, Gardner-Webb Col
lege, or by calling 404-434-

faculty and the individual
students. He also admires
the college for the Christian
background in the teaching
here. He feels Christianity
needs to be brought into the
business world because, at
the present time, dishonesty
in business is destroying the
confidence of investors and
consumers.
Dr. McDonald says “the
future of £dl of the people in
the United States will have
to be based on some know
ledge of business and eco
nomics. The Business De
partment at Gardner-Webb
is in a position to supply this
public need.”
Food Committee
Solving Problems
The Food Committee has
been working closely with
Mr. Keith Carson, the cafe
teria manager. The commit
tee, headed by Diane
Crumpton, meets regularly
every other Wednesday at 5
p.m.
Mr. Carson has suggested
that an area of the cafeteria
be specifically designated
for smokers, since smoking
is presently not supposed to
take place, but still does.
The Senate, however, will
have to act upon this issue
before anything can be done
about it.
Another big problem in
the cafeteria is that of stu
dents carrying food out of
the cafeteria. Mr. Carson re
quests that students coop
erate by not carrying food
out. This is why Captain’s
Wafer Crackers are not
longer being put out. Stu
dents were carrying too
many of them out of the
cafeteria and the manage
ment has “no obligation to
provide students with mid
night snacks.”
