Pilot’s policy set forth
In a move that surprised
everyone. Dr. Craven Wil
liams annoimced that he
would forego the traditional
formal inauguration and
utilize the monies appro
priated for that purpose
($15,000) for strengthening
the educational and cultural
aspects of the college.
The money breaks down
this way. $3,000 will be
given to the Student
Government Association for
the purpose of improving
student life here on campus.
College performance groups

The Chamber Chorus under the direction of Dr. Phil Per
rin begins its Choral Season Monday evening at 7:30 with a

The Chamber chorus is a mixed choral group whose mem

Auditions for the trip to France have been completed and
43 persons wiU represent Gardner-Webb. The trip is sched
uled for May 17-June 7. Gardner-Webb was given a invita
tion to attend by the Ambassador of France with the trip
sponsored by the French Minister of Culture and Education
for the purposes of sharing cultures and interpersonal rela
tionships.
SGA President Bill Baucom
says “that a committee of
students will be appointed
to recommend how and
when the money should be
used.” $5,000 to be given to
the library for the acquisi
tion of new material. $3,000
to be used for a faculty
teaching workshop. $4,000
to be used by the faculty to
attend summer workshops
and professional meetings.
Those faculty committees
concerned are the Educa
tional Policy Committee and
the Professional Affairs
Committee. Dr. Williams
feels that “this program will
affect the entire college and
will bring forth benefits that
wUl endure for a significant
period of time.”
Don't forget!
There are two big events
that are coming up and one
of them is not Homecoming.
This week mid-term exams
were being given yesterday
and today. Then the next
week, October 21-22 is Fall
Break. Mid-terms are de
signed to give the students a
progress report on his work
in his class. Mid-term occurs
at the halfway point in the
semester. This give students
enough time to bring up fail-
ing grades and to cleeir emy
incompletes received in the
upper half of the semester.
Mid-term is not a system of
prevention that can ulti
mately help the student if it
is taken in the right spirit.
It will be the policy of the
Pilot to print the truth, no
matter who it involves no
matter where it leads. As
the official voice of the stu
dents of Gardner-Webb Col-
should be sent to P.O. Box
720 campus mail.
The Pilot being com
mitted to the truth will al
ways look for the good in
things and praise that good.
