October 23, 1989 No. 4
BOILING SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLINA
Campus CrimestopOers Formed
Crime on the Increase at GWC
By R. Shawn Lewis
Although the closest major city
(Charlotte) is 50 miles away, the big city
villain crime is attacking our fair Boiling
Springs. A recent wave of crime has
prompted The Pilot to join forces with the
Gardner-Webb Safety and Security
officers and initiate a campus-wide
Crimestoppers program.
In each issue of The Pilot, recent crimes
will be printed in hopes of obtaining
information that will lead to the arrest of
the individual (s) involved. A reward may
also be given to informants providing
information leading to arrests; your
name will be kept anonymous.
Here is a crime report as provided by
Security Chief David Helton:
On August 15, 1989, five vehicles were
broken into, resulting in a loss of
approximately $1,000 in property. A
portion of the stolen property has been
recovered and arrests are pending in the
near future.
One student and one non-student have
been arrested and charged in connection
with a month-long undercover drug
operation which took place during the
summer. Further arrests are pending.
Timothy A. Wybiral was arrested on felony
charges of Obtaining Property under
False Pretense on September 27, 1989; in
that he reportedly posed as a
Gardner-Webb student, obtaining a
college ID and Vehicle Registration Decal.
Officials from Midwestern State in Texas,
where Wybiral had been registered as a
student, informed me that Wybiral had
been arrested while there on a felony
warrant from Wisconsin for burglary.

Five students have been charged and are
facing criminal prosecution for larceny
from coin-operated machines. The thefts
took place off campus, but an
investigation is continuing concerning
similar thefts on campus.
Look for further bulletins in upcoming
issues of The Pilot, as we and the
Gardner-Webb Safety and Security
officers attempt to "take a bite out of
crime."

Gardner-Webb Promo Video Wins Award
Gardner-Webb College’s
recently-produced recruiting video has
won the prestigious first place Gold
Award from the N.C. Chapter of the
International Association of Business
Communicators (lABC).
The video production with
Gardner-Webb’s Visiting Professor of
Communications John Brock serving as
Executive Producer was judged for
originality, visual impact, composition
design, and technical excellence. Other
key participants in production included
Tiffany Davis and Todd Smith, student
hosts in the video, the Film II class of
Gardner-Webb College, as well as the
Communications Department.
The award was entered by
Cook/Laughlin Associates of Charlotte
who was the producer for the
promotional video. The GWC entry was
among numerous entries throughout the
state submitted by a number of large
production houses and companies.
"Ron Cook and Terry Laughlin have
been friends of mine for a number of
years and there is no way we could have
gotten the superior product we did
without their outstanding talents and
'generous contributions," Brock said,
acknowledging the award. Cook/Laughlin
donated their time and exper- tise to the
project.
The GWC video was recently featured in
MARKEE magazine in a full-page story
with photographs illustrating the inno
vative MTV/PM magazine format. The
article termed the video "both informative
and entertaining" appealing to "today’s
teenager (as a) product of the television
age." The article also termed the video as
"something different."
The awards are presented each year to
recognize outstanding communications
projects produced by statewide groups.
The awards banquet was held in
Greensboro at the lABC’s annual awards
banquet. Other entrants included Duke
Power, Burroughs Wellcome Co., Wake
Forest University, Royal Insurance,
Hardee’s, IBM, and Integon.
One of the judges, ABC
Communications Consultant, G. Corki
Wilson said, "After seeing your video, I felt
I’d like to see the beautiful campus you
captured."
Although used primarily for recruiting
new students, the GWC video is used
widely for numerous other projects and
meetings. Copies are available on loan
from the college’s Admissions Office.
