Camp Editor Thanks to the efforts of a few concerned students, Earth Day 1992 did not go by unnoticed on Gardner-Webb’s campus. The students, including Aimee Stewart, Angie Lane, Chris Glaves, Greg Carpenter, and Dawn Camp, and faculty advisor Tom English planned an afternoon outside. Activities started with a picnic dinner behind the DCC. Some students joined to play volleyball in the yard. Other events were held to increase awareness of can collecting on campus. At 5:30 p.m., the second-annual GWC Can Slam was held. Judges Mike McCalley, Drs. Tom Jones, Rudee Boan, and Bill Stowe unanimously chose Lance McNally as the winner. McNally hurdled another student and landed on an aluminum can. Though the crush was not quite perfect, McNally won due to arth Day 1992 Gardner-Webb College originality and difficulty of the jump. Second place in the Can Slam went to Jim Jefferson. The next major event was the 13-Can Dash. Eleven students competed in the race, in which students had to crush 13 cans and race for the finish line. Ed Faille won the event, finishing the course in 6.03 seconds. Second place finisher was Chris Dawkins, 6.28 seconds. The final winner of the day was in the can guessing event. Students tried to guess the number of crushed cans in a plastic trash bag. Bill Parks won with an exact guess of 242 cans. All of the winners won prizes which were donated by Pizza Connection in Shelby and by the Student Entertainment Association. The main emphasis of the afternoon was the displays on environmental issues. Topics include; saving water, household recycling, ozone, light pollution, deforestation, landfills, and CD packaging. A large number of students attended the Earth Day celebration.
