The Pilot, page 2 V R. Shawn Lewis Editor-in-chief The New York Times, The Charlotte Observer, and The Pilot. What do all of these publications have in coininon? They are all newspapers. Yes, that is correct; The Pilot is a living, breathing newspaper. As you read through this issue, you will notice that we conduct interviews, sell ads, and attempt to inform, entertain, and care. The Times and Observer I do this as well, j What is my point, you ask? ITo sum it all up, The Pilot is I for real and deserves to be I treated as such. There will be i times when you the students, '.faculty, and staff will be 'approached by a Pilot staff II reporter. If this should happen, fplease be courteous and remember |;that The Pilot is a real I newspaper. Thanks. I On a more upbeat note, I must jcongratulate the Class of 1993 I for igniting a fiery spirit here ;on this once-comatose carcass (ur... I mean campus). Keep up the good work and, most impor tantly, be excellent to one another. Oval Office Memoirs THE PILD Editor-in-Chief R.

By Chrissy Vaughn SGA President I don't know what it's like for you when you go home for the summer, but it is always somewhat disillusioning for me. I go home seeking a peaceful sanctuary in which I can recover from all the hassles and worries of college life only to find that the home front is nastier than the battleground at school. I have two younger sisters who are still living at home, and I can honestly say that their rooms would even scare the athletes in Myers and Spangler. I've heard guys from Mauney describe how nasty their bathrooms are; well, I found mushrooms growing in mine this summer! I even consider the GWC cafeteria a welcome haven after I ate at home this summer. I found a bottle of salad dressing which had expired June 30, 1987; the squash in our refrigerator was growing hair by July, and I even got to watch bread turn from white to brown to green to blue to black to purple. Not only are my sisters messy people, but they also have some pretty sickening habits. Take burping, for example. John Schaefer, one of GWC's pro burpers, would even be grossed out to hear my sister Jenny burp after eating my Italian meat pie. And their language! I thought Steve Petranick had taught me almost every vile word possible, but my sisters called me some things this summer that were not even in the Vile Words Plus Dictionarv I bought at some attic sale. (The eight-year-old who lives next door did explain to me later about the meanings of those words.) If all of that is not enough to qualify me to be the poster child for Married...With Children, then nothing will. Some pretty neat things did happen, though. My clothes learned some great magic tricks. Several of my T-shirts disap peared only to suddenly reappear with all types of cool stains and spots. (I think that Vogue did say the spaghetti-stained look is in this season.) In addition to that, over half of my underwear disappeared from the face of this earth. Isn't that amazing? I wonder if The Encfuirer would be interested in my story. My roommate Kim Freeman did find a pair of dis carded underwear in our closet when we got back to school a few weeks ago, but unfortunately I don't wear dirty Haynes briefs. Someday I may be that desperate. Well, now I am back at GWC recovering from this summer, and I'm really excited about some of the things that are going on here. Almost as excited as I get when my mom sends me a care package with dental floss, deodorant, and Dr. Scholl's shoe powder. Here is a list of some of the major SGA events soon playing at a school near you. 1) OPEN FORUM with Dean Franklin Wednesday, Sept. 27 - 8:00 PM - DCC lounge First in a series, this parti cular forum will be led by Dean Richard Franklin, Vice-President for Student Development. Bring your questions, complaints, comments, and suggestions to the Dover Campus Center lounge. If you want to be involved in making a change instead of simply talking about it, be there. 2) FRESHMEN ELECTIONS Freshmen elections are taking a new twist this year with the formation of class officer speeches. The freshmen who were nominated for official SGA positions will be presenting speeches to their class on Sept. 12. Elections will be held on Sept. 12-13 and runoffs on Sept. 19-20. 3) HOMECOMING WEEK Oct. 2-7 Homecoming is only one month away and there is still much to be done. Girls, if you would like to run for Homecoming Attendant or Queen, your petitions are due in Vickie Webb's office (DCC 107) by Friday, Sept. 22 at 12:00 noon. In order to run for court attendant, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors must have 50 signatures from the members of their respective classes. Seniors running for Homecoming Queen must have 100 signatures (from all classes) on their petitions. Elections will be held Sept. 26-27 and runoffs on Oct. 3-4. If you have any questions, contact Vickie Webb or myself. Other Homecoming events are the float, dorm, and banner contests in which the winning organizations will receive cash prizes. The S.E.A (Student Entertainment Association) will also provide exciting activities throughout the entire week including the movie Fletch Lives. mouthin' off (for those lip sync pros), and our Homecoming Dance which will follow our slaughter of Lenior- Rhyne. To stay up to date on these and other SGA activities, club meetings, and sports events going on at the Webb, be sure to check out the Scroll every week. Also watch the Scroll, the S.E.A. announcement board (outside of the cafeteria), and Noel's article "Tidal Waves," which appears in each edition of the Pilot, in order to stay up-to-date on the latest in S.E.A. activities. I'm going to go ahead and exit Dodge for now. . .1 hear Wal- Mart is having a great sale on underwear!
