The Fantasticks Utters To Santa Pilot’s Profile
Do you remember your first love? Were you seventeen?
Fifteen? Were you even able to spell “puberty” yet? Age
was of no consequence because this was it for sure, paradise,
and it would always be so. At least that is what you thought
until you discovered your romantic moonlight came from a
“cardboard moon” that sat in a “tinsel sky.” He isn’t so
handsome. She isn’t so pretty. Then things went from
“scenic to cynic.”
This is the story of Luisa and Matt in “The Fantasticks”
which was presented in Hamrick Auditorium on the 2nd,
3rd, and 4th of November by the Theatre Arts Department
of Gardner-Webb.
Two adolescents in love, two conniving fathers, one pro
fessional “rapist”, two out-of-work actors, and one mute
make an otherwise common theme quite uncommon. There
is much for an audience to take in: music, singing, dancing,
fighting, laughing, crying—all the essential ingredients of
life and love. And don’t forget, a happy ending for all.
Thanks to the cast, director, choreographer, musicians,
and various production crews for sharing of their time to
bring us a little truth about life as presented in “The Fan
tasticks.”
Did Somebody Mention Justice?
The good guys in white prevail again! Gardner-Webb
College, in conjunction with several surrounding technical
institutes, now offers a degree in Criminal Justice. “Crimi
nal Justice?” you say as you flip through the college cata
log, searching for course descriptions. The search through
the catalog will prove vain unless you realize that sociology,
psychology, and political science comprise the curriculum
provided by Gardner-Webb. The concentration on Criminal
Justice is gained from the smaller technical schools.
Earl Lloyd, of the Isothermal Planning and Development
Commission, and Mr. Lansford Jolley, chairperson of the
Social Studies Department, brainstormed the project which
was launched this semester. At present, there are forty stu
dents enrolled in the Continuing Education program seeking
a degree in Criminal Justice.
Holding a B.S. degree in Social Science with a concentra
tion in Criminal Justice prepares a student for police work,
probation and parole jobs, as well as a multitude of related
vocations.
Anyone interested in the program should contact Profes
sor Lansford Jolley’s office in the CID.
The Biggi Blues
I’m just one busy student; I’ve got worry on my mind;
I’ve got a morbid feeling, and my eyes are going blind;
We pay our full tuition, we pay some heavy dues.
And now I sit a’wand’ring, ’cause I got the Biggi Blues.
Biggies in the morning, biggies in the afternoon.
Biggies right at sun-up, biggies at the brand-new moon;
Professors are exacting, I wish they’d wear my shoes,
My mind is in a funky state; I’ve got the Biggi Blues.
December is a-coming, and my heart is feeling bad;
Christmas ’round the comer, and I should be feeling glad;
But when I think of Christmas, saddest thoughts begin to
ooze;
I can’t help it, it’s contagious; I’ve just got the Biggie
Blues.
This college is a fine place, and I like to go to school;
But sometimes I wish that I could take a dip deep in the
pool,
‘Having leamt that Flunk is coming,-Different sources I
must choose;
O leave me ’lone, and let me weep. I’ve sorely got the Biggi
Blues.
Dear Santa,
The Pilot was fortunate to
receive letters to Santa from
around campus. Here are the
chosen few:
There ain’t much I want
for Christmas. I wood apre-
ciate a “C” in Englesh. And
if you don’t mind I wood like
a new typewritter with an
automattic Correct-O-Spel-
ler.

Dear Mr. Claus,
Life is rough. Here I am, a
college senior with life fall
ing in front of me. Where do
I go from here? Please send
me an application for an elf
job.
Signed,
The Graduate
Dear Ms. Claus,
Do you get news at the
North Pole? Have you never
heard what your rights as a
woman are? Put yourself in
the driver’s seat this year
and let the old man bake
cookies for the elves!
Yours,
W.G.
Dear Santa,
Please send anything that
will expand my intellectual
capacity. Specifically, what
bearing do birds and bees
have on storks?
Signed,
Deprived
Editor’s Note
As this semester winds
down and we as students
realize just how wound
down we are, let’s take a
moment to collapse. By now
most of our term papers
and projects have been turn
ed in and with a sigh of relief
we catch enough oxygen to
take exams. During the
midst of this madness re
member you have a right to
be exhausted, frenzied,
edgy, and otherwise inco
herent. Congratulations to
those graduating and to
those who are not—hope you
recover over the holidays!
See you in the Spring!

"What’s Up Doer’
3, Biggies, how I hate them! They’re just out to blow
my mind!
My ears are getting deaf, and I’m reading till I’m blind;
So if you see me stagger often, I ain’t had one drop o’ booze;
I’m just baffled, bothered, boggled, bored to death with
Biggi Blues.

the deck ’cause that’s what the ’rang does half of the time,
splintering in the process. If by chance it doesn’t smack the
ground, it just comes screaming back at you like a flying
killer circle saw. You’re as weU off standing still as running.
After some practice and some broken windows, the boom
erang is a great pasttime. You don’t need someone to catch
it and throw it back like a frisbee and you can even teach it a
few tricks if you will feed it something to eat once in a while
(like an arm or a neck). On top of all that, it is cheap and you
can make ’em yourself. So come on out to center court some
afternoon and find out why Prof. Stowe couldn’t reach the
top of the blackboard last week.
Congratulations are in
order for Ron Prevost of the
Religion Department, who
recently received his Doctor
of Education Degree
through the New Orleans
Baptist Theological Semin
ary. He majored in History
and Administration of Re
ligious Education and min-
ored in Christian History
and Theology, completing
the requirements for his
Ph.D.
What’s fuU of life, humor, love, and has a Doctor of Arts
degree from Middle Tennessee State University? No, not
the Pillsbury Dough Boy, but Dr. Dee Hunt, the Physical
Education and Health professor with flare.
Dr. Hunt from the metropolis of Valley Head, Alabama.
She was educated (formally) at Auburn University and
Middle Tennessee State. Before coming to GWC, Dr. Hunt
filtered through Tennessee, teaching at two separate
schools. Anyone coming in contact with Dr. Hunt knows
that she is a dedicated teacher who values her occupation.
“I am in love with teaching,” says Dr. Hunt, “It has always
been my dream to work with Physical Education majors and
I’m seeing that dream come true now. I love it.”
Reflections Deadline
Had a busy semester? Some people have indicated as
much in the last several weeks, and with this in mind the
Reflections staff has decided to set the entry deadline for
January 15, 1979. This will give an opportunity for busy
students to catch their breath over the Christmas vacation,
and while doing so perhaps write their poems or short stor
ies in time for the January deadline. If you have any ques
tions concerning the entry procedure lot Reflections, please
see anyone of the following people: Dr. Joyce Brown, Ms.
Barale, Randy Waters, Melissa Frazier, Fred Allen, Debbie^
Drayer, or Ben Crowther. If you have not given any thought
to submitting your work, perhaps you should remind your
Muse of the three cash prizes!
