Dr. Cecil Ray Begins Lecture Series At Gardner-Webb College
Dr. Cecil A. Ray, General
Secretary-Treasurer of the
Baptist State Convention of
North Carolina, has begun a
series of lectures at Gardner-
Webb College. The lectures
are entitled “Baptists Work
ing Together,” given at
11:00 a.m. in room 101 of the
Lindsay Building and at
1:00 p.m. in Lindsay 201.
Each Wednesday during the
spring semester. Dr. Ray
will be on campus to lecture.
The public is invited to
attend.
Dr. Ray is well qualified
both from his training and
his experience to present a
lecture series on this topic.
He received his B.A. degree
from Howard Payne College
in Texas and his Th.M. from
Southwestern Baptist Theo
logical Seminary, Fort
Worth, Texas. Not only did
he serve as a pastor in Lub
bock, Texas, but later he be
came the Director of Mis-

sions in the San Antonio
area. Howard Payne College
bestowed upon him an
honorary doctorate. In 1960,
he was Father of the Year in
Texas due to his outstand
ing work with his daughter,
Susan, who is a victim of
polio. After serving for six
years as the Secretary of the
Cooperative Program and
Church Finance of the Texas
Baptist State Convention,
he was made the Director of
the Stewardship Division of
the Texas Baptist State
Convention. In 1976, he
came to his present post in
North Carolina. Gardner-
Webb College takes pleasure
in offering this outstanding
series of lectures for the
people of this area as well as
for the students on campus.
Campus Life Reawakens
—Or Students Reawaken
The cheerleaders’ chant of “It’s good to be from Gardner-
Webb” echoes in the minds of those who attend football and
basketball games. Yet this chant is applicable to many
other areas . . .
Registration proved especially interesting this semester
as several seniors decided that at 8:00 in the morning
comfort supercedes dignity. Showing up in patch work pa
jamas and multi-colored robes, these enthusiastic young
men were greeted with a frown of disapproval and instruct
ed in the discreet art of “proper attire.”
After breezing through the miraculously re-organized
registration line, scores of students tripped happily off to
class suffering from the blissful delusion that all was well.
But Alas! Their tolerance level was sorely tried as many dis
covered they must still face the dreadful curse of—the drop/
add line.
Changing the first MWF class from 10:00 to (yawn) 8:00
is more bearable, however, when compared to the inevitable
ailment called the Bookstore Blues. The symptoms of this
ailment mysteriously appear after writing a check for $74.95
and having only four thick volumes to show for it.
Yet, the perfect example of the carefree life at Gardner-
Webb is characterized by a recent event at a basketball
game. With lights flashing and fans clapping, the red carpet
was rolled out for the basketball players. To the immense
surprise and delight of students, a poster of someone who
had not been instructed in the art of “proper attire” was
plastered on the royal rug.
Ah, yes, it is good to be from Gardner-Webb.
Music Department Receives
National Accreditation
The Music Department of Gardner-Webb College is proud
to announce that it received national accreditation last
November. The department was accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Music (NASM). The NASM
examined Gardner-Webb’s physical facilities, the faculty
for training and experience, the library facilities, budget
support, and evaluations of achievements of students. The
accreditation is good for 5 years. During this time, Gardner-
Webb will be an associate member of the NASM. After 5
years, the department can be re-examined and apply for full
membership.
To be accredited is to receive recognition of achievement.
Students, graduating from an accredited college, find that
this stands in their favor when they apply for graduate
school or for work in their particular field. When Gardner-
Webb applied for accreditation, 34 colleges were deferred
and 14 new colleges were admitted. As only two other
Baptist senior colleges in North Carolina are accredited, it is
quite an honor and an accomplisment for Gardner-Webb.
Congratulations to the Music Department on a job well
done!
