Truth
An energetic young sing
ing group appeared on Gard
ner-Webb Campus on Tues
day Nov. 15. The group was
Truth, a spiritually led
group of young people who
love the Lord and came to
tell us about it.
This group was an inspira
tion to many students and
faculty members. The mess
age and music touched
many hearts and there was a
great response at the invita
tion. Truth mixes a
combination of hymns, rock,
pop and other types of music
to bring an often forgotten
message into everybody’s
language.
Comments such as “fan
tastic”, and “far out” were
overheard as the audience
was leaving the gym. Many
remarked they wouU like to
see other groups like Truth
come to Gardner-Webb
Campus.

Honor Code Survey
In Convocation on
November 29, the SGA dis
tributed about 400 surveys
on a proposed honor code at
G-W.
Out of the 101 returned,
61 said “Yes, we should
have an honor code,” 35 said
no, and five weren’t sure.
The SGA wanted to see
what the students know
about honor codes. But the
majority of students £ire
misinformed.
When asked about this
problems, Pressley Stutts,
SGA President, replied that
students want more respon
sibility, and this is an excel
lent area to accept it in. An
honor code is not another
rule or burden. Its purpose
is “to promote the respon
sibility of individuals, to
promote academic excel
lence and integrity, and to
provide mutual trust among
the members of G-W
society.”

The event took place at the track with someone run
the “Spirit-stick” for the full twenty-four hours.
What could possibly motivate someone to participa
this event? For some it was a way of showing school s]
for others it was a way to get attention, and some it
something to do.
The average runner ran four or five laps and stay
couple of hours. But if it wasn’t for the dedication (:
ty) of Reid McKenzie, James Smith, and Joel Clary (they
ran from 9 p.m. Friday until 9 a.m. Saturday) the rally
would not have lasted. Wesley Biggerstaff finished with 82
laps, about 20 miles.

members had run a total of 175 miles. Ray Louis came in
2nd with 50 laps. Pete PoUetta came in 1st place for the
