PAGE 2, THE PILOT, Gardner-Webb CoUege, October, 19, 1977 OKLAHOMA! Intramural Sports Report There will be an exciting musical production on campus this fall. The Gard- ner-Webb Music Depart ment wiU be doing Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Okla homa on November 11, 12, and 14 in Hamrick Audi torium. The show will be directed by Mr. David Smith, and the orchestra, under Mr. Robert Decker, will provide accompani ment. Auditions for the musical were held earlier and the re sponse was so great that callbacks were necessary so that the director could have additional time to cast the parts. The main characters are as follows (in order of ap pearance): Dana Dillon as Aunt EUer; Mike MitcheU as Curly; Beth Sommers as Laurey; Mike Frazier as Will Parker; Charlotte Fletcher as Ado Annie Carnes; Scott Brisendine as Ali Hakim; Harvey Ramsey as Andrew Carnes; and A1 Tunnin as Cord Elan. The Gardner-Webb chap ter of Alpha Psi Omega is giving its support to the pro duction. The president of the club, Dana Dillon, had some comments about the musical and APO’s involvement with it. She is excited about being in the show and thinks that Oklahoma will be favor ably received at Gardner- Webb because of its comedy and fast-paced action. There are some taleted new people involved, and we are looking forward to initiating some new members into Alpha Psi Omega after the produc tion.” Alpha Psi Omega is the organization on campus for students interested in theatre arts. It is a national honorary fraternity, and a student must earn points in order to be invited to join. Of these points half must be earned by having parts in productions and half must be earned through technical work, such as stage con struction, make-up, or cos tuming. The purpose of Alpha Psi Omega is “to give students adequate recogni tion for participating in theatre activities in a com parable way in which stu dents are honored in other departments.” At the end of the academic year, APO gives Hammy Awards to outstanding actors and ac tresses in the club. The GWC chapter of Alpha Psi Omega would like to encourage interested stu dents to work with Oklahoma. Mr. David Smith, the sponsor of the club, will be giving APO points to those persons working with the show. Miss Dillon echoed the sentiments of APO when she made this comment con cerning Oklahoma, “I am more excited with each show because it gives me a chance to improve and do each one better. The fact that the col lege continues to support these productions provides encouragement that maybe some day Gardner-Webb will put theatre art classes back on its curriculum. I think it is important for stu dents to have the oppor tunity to become well- rounded persons by further ing their education in this Oklahoma is sure to be a hit so come on out and see it and support theatre produc tions at Gardner-Webb.

Dr. Gard ner, director whose assis tants are Danny Beams and Rachel Albus said he was impressed with the program. Some teams who had comments regarding other teams were: R. Brun son’s: “We have an excel lent quarterback, Henry Hayes. The defense is super. Our team is good in all plays, just the best.” Cow boys: “Interesting game, but need better officials.” Spangler 1st floor: “Too much confusion between the players. Going to be the champions.” Those were just a few comments that came from the captains of some men’s teams. The girls as of yet have not gotten started due to the lack of participation. Games have been forfeited but Stroup comments were, “We are anxious to get started.” Intramural foot ball will continue until the finals which the top teams will compete against each other. Sign Language Class One of the most interest ing classes held at Gardner- Webb takes place on Mon day nights in the library. This class, lead by Jerry Potter who is the State Mis sionary for the Deaf, teaches students the Ameslan Lan guage which is the acronym for the American Sign Lan guage. The students, who receive three hours credit, learn the sign language through games, conversation, songs, and various other fun acti- vites. There should be another class next semester so keep an ear out. Coach Garland Allen. First row: Steve Sherman, Alan Shuford. Second row: Jim Faucett, Murray White. Last row: Jim Franklin, Tommy Brown, Byron Auton, Wayne Myers. Excellence Determination = 6W 6olf Typical Letter To Mom And Dad Dear Mom and Dad, How could you leave me in a place Uke this? What have I ever done to deserve this? Here I am your baby boy (girl), the apple of your eye and look what you’ve done to me. This is outrageous. I have walked across this campus ten times in the past five minutes and there isn’t a thing to do. The teachers here are worse than ole Miss Rumpert. I think I will self destruct. XXX Same writer, to a University friend: Hi, I hope you like it there as much as I do here. This place is really beautiful. I like the campus so much I walked across it ten times today and I still am amazed at it. The teachers remind me of saints. I sure wish you were here to share my joy. I know you must be busy there at Chapel HUl, but Boiling Springs has stuff Chapel HiU never thought of. Mavbe one week end you can come down here. You’ll love it. XXX Gardner-Webb is to golf as Notre Dame is to football. For the past several years the Gardner-Webb Golf Team has been a small col lege powerhouse. Dr. Gar land Allen, a professor of religion and history, is in his 15th year as coach and team sponsor. In his previous fourteen years. Coach Allen’s teams have never had a losing season. Allen has taken the Bulldogs to the national event five times in the last seven years. G-W has also won the District 26 tourney five of seven years. In the past two years the G-W golfers have won back to back NAIA national championships. The ’Dogs won this year’s event by ten strokes over the second place finisher, Sam Houston State. Leaders for the team are Jimmy Franklin of Mor- ganton, Steve Sherman of Shelby, and Wayne Myers of Hamptonville. All-Ameri cans Jimmy Frankling and Steve Sherman finished sec ond and fifth respectively in this year’s championship event. Franklin has played in three national events while Myers has played in two. Recently Gardner-Webb played in the Pinetuck Invi tational in Rock Hill, S.C. Winning first place in the in dividual category was fresh man Tommy Brown from Statesville, N.C. When asked what he felt after his victory, Brown said, “I was surprised but I’m glad I did it. It was a good start to win my first tournament as a freshman.” His roommate, Wayne Myers, came in second place. Myers, a jun ior, was asked how it felt to win two NAIA national events in a row. Myers said, “It didn’t hit us until a cou ple of weeks later about what we had done the first time.” Bulldog Band The Gardner-Webb BuU- dog Band is back this year— in fuU swing. If you have tried to drive through the parking lot between the O.M.G. and Nanney on a Monday, Wednesday, or Fri day afternoon, you may have met up with this band. These fifty-odd people pre sent a foreboding obstacle to any car that dares to back out of a parking space. Led by drum major, Rich ard Craft, and director Mr. Summers, they march corps- style to the football stadi um, unfalteringly. No insect is large enough, no pot-hole is deep enough to deter them them from their destination. The BuUdog Band boasts of some fantastic auxiliary units—twirlers, flag corps, and a new rifle carrier, Becky Carriker, who really knows her stuff. The percus sion has been working hard to come up with the boogie- down cadences they have. In the stands, the band really shows its enthusiasm. Playing favorites like “Star Wars”, “Misty”, “Amen”, “Theme from Rocky” (fea turing Barry Greene on the E-flat trumpet), and “Sky High”, they add a new di mension to football games.
