Dover Library Government
Documents Collection Growing
Our ever-growing coUecction of U.S. government docu
ments has some major additions this year, the most impor
tant of which is the new revision of the U.S.Code, which we
are in the process of receiving. The U.S. Code, as many may
know, gives U.S. laws currently in force, neatly indexed by
subjecct and by popular name. Other recent additions are
the Federal Register, C.I.A. maps and atlases, area hand
books for many counnries, U. S. Geological Survey publica
tions, and a very detailed suplemental volume to the U.S.
budget, showing how our money is spent. But such docu
ments don’t deal only with laws and governmental activity,
they also contain information on energy, higher education,
medicine, mental health, copyright, the handicapped, and a
great deal of scientific information.
We became a depository library in May 1974, and the
building of our coUecction was begun under Ms. Mary Jo
Bracken and now continues under Ms. Celeste Bryant.
Some of the very first documents we subscribed to were
U.S. Reports (Supreme Court opinions). Statutes at Large
(U.S. laws in the complete text as passed), and the Congres
sional Record (a daily verbatin report of Congressional acti
vity, including voting records, remarks, and news high
lights—very good for keeping up with the activities of your
local Senator and representatives.

Christopher Chosen
As Symphony Soloist
Carmen Christopher, of
Shelby, a music graduate of
Gardner-Webb College, has
been chosen over several
other finalists as the soprano
soloist for the Asheville
Symphony’s production of
Verdi’s “Requiem,” to be
held in the spring.
Ms. Christopher was
chosen over several finalists
ia auditions last September.
Symphony rehearsals will
not begin until April, with
the production scheduled on
Saturday, April 22 at the
Thomas Wolfe Auditorium
in AsheviUe. “I’m thrilled,”
said Ms. Christopher, “and
I’ll begin learning my part
right away.”
Singing opera and
operatic concerts is not new
for Carmen Christopher.
While she was at Gardner-
Webb, she had several leads
in operatic workshop pro
ductions, including “The
Telephone” this fall. She
was a soloist with the G-W
Choral Union last May and
sang with the North Caro
lina Symphony String En
semble when they produced
Schubert’s Mass in G major
here last spring.
Carmen graduated from
G-W in music in the spring
of 1976, but returns to the
campus for weekly lessons
with Mrs. Harrelson. Ms.
Christopher is associated
with Belding-Lily Co. of
Shelby.

Letter To The Editor
Mr. Jim Scarborough
Gardner-W ebb CoUege
Boiling Springs, North Carolina 28017
Dear Jim:
I am replying to your letter that appeared in the PILOT
concerning seating in the Bost Gym. I am certainly in sym
pathy with your letter and I do not in any way intend this
letter to be directed toward you in a negative manner.
From the contents of your letter, I believe you fully realize
the need for us to have the support of both the student body
and the Bulldog Club. I would like for every student to have
the opportunity to support the athletic program. In fact, I
wish every student felt as strong as you feel about being at
the game as you have indicated.
Obviously, I could elaborate on your letter further however
that is not my point. I do agree with you that we have a
problem and perhaps we need to put a time limit on the Bull
dog Club seats or work on a better solution. If, for example,
the seats were not taken by a certain time prior to gametime
they would be opened to the student body. We will certainly
give your letter serious thought and see it we can come up
with some solutions that could be more workable than the
present conditions.
Again, may I thank you for your concern and interest in
being able to be present for the games.
Sincerely,
Eddie Holbrook
