I sing a familiar tune this week. "R-E-
S-P-E-C-T... Just a little bit, just a little
bit..."
The Pilot wants "just a little bit." Per
haps the students, staff, and administration
of Gardner-Webb still have not come to
terms with what exactly The Pilot is. Allow
me to spell it out for you: N-E-W-S-P-A-P-
E-R. Put it all together and what does its
spell? Newspaper. Yeah, that’s it,
newspaper!
Let’s take a look at the word
newspaper and what it should mean on a
college campus. 1) A college newspaper
should serve the students, faculty, staff, and
administration of the college; some college
papers even serve the surrounding com
munities. 2) The paper should serve by
reporting campus news, sports, activities,
and so on. 3) The newspaper should be
available for use by the students, faculty,
staff, and administration as a forum for
their ideas and opinions. 4) College
newspapers should be a source of public
information between the college and sur
rounding areas. 5) The newspaper must be
published at regular intervals.
These are all things that a college
newspaper should be. As Managing Editor
of the Gardner-Webb College newspaper,
I can honestly say that The Pilot strives to
meet all of the above criteria.' As a bi
monthly publication, The Pilot did miss
covering some events that fell between
deadlines. However, in an attempt to better
serve Gardner-Webb College, The Pilot
would like to announce that it has become
a weekly publication.
Coming out with a paper every week
will be difficult, but not impossible. The
Pilot does need your help, though. Club
presidents, department chairs, administra
tion, and Students at large: The Pilot needs
a favor. Send us your news, announcements,
activities, etc. Here is a list of deadlines:
1. Monday, April 2nd
2. Wednesday, April 11th
3. Wednesday, April 18th
4. Wednesday, April 25th
(TENTATIVE)
Submissions (press releases, informa
tion, etc.) can be turned into Dr. Stowe,
Dawn E- Camp, Kathy Henson, any staff
member, or myself. My box number is 520
and the phone number in the Student Pub
lications office is ext. 417.
Please work with and respect The Pilot
as a newspaper— your newspaper. Thanks.

fices are located in the Pub; House on the campus of
Gardner-Webb College.
Food for Thought
The dining hall, through the use of
informative cards, has been observing
March as National Nutrition Month. Spe
cial emphasis has been put on educating the
students of Gardner-Webb on such topics
as vegetarian diets, proper nutrition, caloric
intake, and fiber intake.
For example, do you know where fiber
comes from? Plants. Only foods from plants
contain fiber. Proper fiber intake may
reduce the risk of developing heart disease,
cancer, and diverticulosis. It may also assist
in vveight control as bulky, high fiber foods
are usually low in calories, take longer to
chew, and make you feel full longer.
Perhaps you don’t know what your
caloric intake should be. Caloric needs vary
from person to person. Gender, stature,
age, body composition, and activity level all
affect caloric needs. Most people are con
cerned with calories as they pertain to body
weight. To maintain body weight, calories
consumed and calories used for energy
should balance. Consuming fewer calories
than the body uses will promote weight loss,
while consuming more than the body uses
vnll result in weight gain.
