Now Is The Time
For Making Up
Convocation Credits!
by Roberta Borden
Have you exceeded your four allowed
cuts in Convocation? If so, you bet
ter listen closely because you will
have to make-up for missed time prior
to your graduation! As of the Fall
Semester, 1984 convocation attendance
has been being enforced by the College
Convocation Committee. "Make-ups
stress the value that the college pla
ces on convocation time," says college
minister Monk Ashley. "Since we (the
college) felt it was unfair to patent
ly deny graduation because of missed
convocation time, a make-up program
was designed."
The program, depending on the amount
of time being made up, consists of
activities which are similar in hour-
length to convocation time missed.
Students are required to listen to
audio tapes of convocation, do book
reports, or attend other cultural
events on campus. "The best assign
ments jibe with a student’s inter
ests," adds Ashley.
If you have received a letter from
Dean John Drayer notifying you of a
need to make up missed convocation
time, the best time to act is now, as
Monk Ashley relates that the months
nearest to graduation
filled with people trying
required time,
program 114
involved in make-up activities, 61 of
which were concentrated in the Spring
’85 semester prior to graduation."
Once you contact Dean Drayer or Monk
Ashley regarding missed convocation
time, you will be assigned to an
advisor who will guide you through
your make-up. Those currently serving
in this capacity are Dr. Robert
Morgan, Dr. Vann Murrell and Dr. Bob
Decker.
"We have smaller amounts of people
cutting now," adds Ashley. "Most of
the people who are having to make-up
time are those who were caught in the
transition between non-enforced and
enforced convocation attendance."
If you have convocation time to
make-up, remember, there’s no time
like the present.

Trustee Chair Heads
Ejforts In Major
Campaign Bridge
by Roberta L.
Borden
A bridge is
being constructed
at Gardner-Webb
College. Oh, you
haven’t noticed
any waterways on
campus? Well,
this bridge is
speci9.1. How, you
ask? ‘ This bridge
is a bridge to the
future; the future
of Gardner-Webb
College.
The Spring of
1987 will kick off
a multi-million
dollar fund rais
ing campaign de
signed to benefit
Gardner-Webb
College. Titled
"A Bridge to the
Future", this
campaign effort is
intended to bring
approximately $5
million to G-W.
National Chairman
of the fundraising
campaign, Lloyd
Bost of Shelby,
and former presi
dent of Bost
Bakeries, says
"Most campaigns
are spread over a
three-year time
span, which is the
case with this
one." Bost goes
on to tell how the
money which will
be raised will en
rich the institu
tion .
Bost states that
high on the list
of the college’s
priorities are
funds that can be
utilized for cam
pus renovations
(which include the
renovations of
dormitory facili
ties and Hamrick
building) as well
as increasing the
endowment of the
college. Bost
cites approximate
figures when
speaking of campus
renovations and
says, "About
$2,450,000 needs
to be raised in
Cleveland County
with $1 million
allocated for dorm
repairs, $900,000
for the renovation
of Hamrick Hall,
$260,000 for the
renovation of the
CID building, and
$90,000 for an
observatory build
ing.
Although these
improvements and
additions are sub
stantial in and of
themselves, Bost
places emphasis on
the importance of
the college’s
endowment. $1
million of the
projected $3
million to be
raised for the
endowment will be
channeled into
scholarships which
will enable and
entice students
into attending G-
W. $500,000 will
go to program
improvements which
will hopefully
include endowed
professorships and
faculty enrich-
