To the editor,
I "think I have found the
solution to Robert L. Decker’s
problem. First, I would like
to correct Professor Decker’s
interpretation of the students
at Gardner-Webb. We are hy no
means immature; we are just
extremely bored with the sub
ject matter chosen for convo
cation. No one should be
forced to listen, although
they should show some respect
for those who are interested
by holding their noise to a
low whisper. If Professor
Decker wants to concentrate on
the speaker so bad, maybe he
should arrive early so he can
get a front row seat. Hang in
there Professor Decker.

Parking Problems
To the editor.
At the beginning of the
year, everyone that has a car
at GWC has to buy a parking
sticker for the amount of
$25.00. Why do we have to buy
this sticker? Supposedly it is
so we can safely park our cars
in a lot. Well, that’s fine
for everyone that has a par
king lot but what about Hapy
Dorm? We have nowhere to park.
The buisness parking lot is
right by Hapy but we get a
$5.00 parking ticket when we
park there. We cannot leave
our cars parked on the street
at night because then we get
another ticket and possibly
get our cars towed. There goes
another forty some odd dollars
just to get our car back. The
next closest place to park is
in Royster’s parking lot. That
parking lot is not in the best
condition, it isn’t well lit,
and there is no way Royster
and Hapy can fit there togeth
er. Part of the parking lot is
reserved for the doctor’s of
fice so parking there puts us
at risk for yet another ticket
and being towed off.
Our last resort is to park
in Stroup’s parking lot. That
is fine during the day, but if
you work late or you are out
late it is scary walking back
to the dorm in the dark by
yourself. We are tired of the
college making money off of us
when we are already paying an
arm and a leg to come here. We
just ask that you be fair.
Have us pay the $25.00 and let
us park on the street or in
the buisness office parking
lot, or give us back the
$25.00 and we will find our
own place to park.

To the editor,
It has come to my attention
that some people here at Gard-
ner-Webb feel that the foot
ball team is the most impor
tant competitive athletic
sport sponsored by the col
lege. This can also be seen
by the articles printed in the
school newspaper. For exam
ple, after reviewing the last
"Pilot" printed I could find
nothing about the conclusion
of the other sports preformed
during the football season.
In speaking with my fellow
students, I find that many are
unaware that tennis and golf
are even offered as fall
sports. Many are also unaware
that the soccer and vollyball
seasons have ended. How are
all other sports supposed to
have the school spirit needed
to help promote a winning team
if the students have no idea
where or when the sports are
being played.
In conclusion, there are a
number of different sports of
fered at Gardner-Webb that are
as equally importcint as foot
ball. Why not devote a little
time £ind space to report how
they are doing, too.

appreciate your request for
more extensive sports
coverage, cind just as soon as
we can get more than one staff

than happy to oblige.
TAKE ONE:
A Review Of
Fatal Attraction”
By Danny Reece
"Fatal Attraction," the
suspense thriller starring
Glenn Close, Michael Douglas,
and Anne Archer, has been this
fall’s big box office success,
and for once this success is
deserved. This film rivets all
attention to the screen and
demands that one use only the
front portion of one’s seat.
Douglas plays a New York
lawyer who has a weekend fling
with business associate Close
while Archer and the children
are visiting in the country.
He assumes, and is led to be
lieve by Close, that the af
fair is a matter of conven
ience- nice, neat, no harms,
no strings. This view is sub
sequently shot to pieces as
Close reveals what a treach
erous, mentally imbalanced
monster she is. Her perfor
mance in this film can only be
considered superb, for surpas
sing Anthony Perkins’ Norman
Bates or any other previous
psycho. Close has the ability
to make the audience like her,
make them sympathize with her,
all the while wondering why.
Michael Douglas and Anne
Archer also bring strong per
formances to this film. Archer
especially conveys a sense of
beauty and strength as the
mother, and the real victim.
By all means, see this movie.
I predict it will become a
classic in the vein of Hitch
cock ’s f inest.
