2 Wo(S [PB[I(o)G Into the Mailbox From the Advisor... Change is a difficult entity to liandle, but our campus is experiencing quite a few lately. From my perspective, the student newspaper has changed considerably in the last few years, this year in particular. First, new technology (new to us) has prompted us to utilize some of the latest devices in desktop publishing, and to im prove (slowly but surely) our graphic design. Secondly, and most important, you have shown that you consider this a true student newspaper, a place to share your most shin ning achievements and your deepest despair. Thanks we need that! Keep those cards, letters, and TIPS coming! I hope that you value the leadership that this paper is experiencing this year. Chris Glaves has demonstrated an ear nest desire to make The Pilot a real medium of exchange, an effort that reaches well be yond his considerable skills as a designer, layout artist, and computer conjuror. Greg Carpenter has taken on the editing task with very little training and experience, and he will insure — with your help — continued operation of the paper next year. Marty White has handled sports as if he had nothing else to do with his life, and a FRESHMAN (for crying out loud) E.J. Dolce is trying to root out our considerable errors! These leaders, and our whole team — a staff dedicated to hard work and few thanks — are trying to make this paper a weekly (that's weekly, E.J.) issue. They thank you for any help you can give and for giving us a reason to work as hard as we do. Congratulations to the Cast of the Wizard of Oz Michele Dyer - Dorothy Todd Estes - Uncle Henry Chris Bridges - Lion Ted Alexander - Tin Man Bruce Wilson - Scarecrow Becky Reger - Wicked Witch Bill Hoover - Wizard /Prof. Marvel Julie Morris - Good Witch [Ed. Note: I was approached the other day by a student who related this to me: "Well a new semester at good ‘ol Gardner- Webb University, but I have to ask: Why do the cheerleaders get rings for the football team ’ s great march to the conference championship and national runner-up? The definition is exactly what the name says: CHEER LEADER. These students, while hard-working and important, are not the ones who ran 110-yard sprints in spring practice, not the ones who threw touchdown passes, not the ones who blocked for the Bulldog offense, not the ones suffering from an aching body on Sunday afternoon. The glory is for the players. They have earned it. Let ?/iem bask in it!" I went to financial aid and asked if there were any-part time positions around campus. They said they did not know of any at the present, but handed me a form and told me to look around myself and see if a teacher needed assistance. The teacher was to fill out the form and I would begin work. I proceeded to the library and asked if they needed help and they replied "yes." The head lady signed all my papers and they set up a schedule and I began work that night. The following day I went to financial aid and showed them my papers and asked them to sign. They answered me by saying, "Alright, we'll get back to you as soon as something opens." 1 said, "Well I already began work last night and I'm supposed to work this evening." They told me "I guess you just volun teered your time. Sorry, we're out of money right now, we'll get back to you." In my mind I said - yeah right, out of money! When it came down to it, it seems as though they never wanted me to work anyway. They just led me to believe they were being helpful, which they really weren't. Sandy Hill This message goes out to the entire stu dent body) faculty, staff, and administration concerning the incident which occurred at the bowling lanes located in Shelby. The pre mises occupied a Gardner-Webb Student En tertainment Association function in which I violated the alcohol policy administered by this institution. I do understand this is not the type of behavior Gardner-Webb endorses and certainly does not approve of. My actions were not to intentionally embarrass Gardner- Webb University nor any associations related to the campus, just a mere act of stupidity. Furthermore, I would like to personally like to apologize to Jerome Scott, Audrey Sloan, and the student body, however^ on a lighter note; I would like to thank our Dean of Admissions, Ray Hardee, and Vice-President for Academic and Student Affairs, Dr. Frank Bonner. Thank you for all the support. Scott Willis Senior, Sociology. The Pilot Staff Christopher A. Glaves Greg Carpenter Editor-In-Chief Managing Editor Marty White E.J. Dolce Sports Editor Proof Editor Dr. Bill Stowe Advisor Staff Writers Abdul Asghar John Belch Andrew Hopper Markell Lynch Amy Sharpe Aimee Stewart Kevin Walter Viki Zeiser Printed by Shelby Printing Parking has long been a problem at GW. This week's Barking Bulldog looks at the issue through the student and faculty's eyes. "Let the faculty park behind the LYCC because I live on campus and I want to be able to see my car from my room. As for HAPY residents, it's awful. I wouldn't feel safe hav ing to walk from behind Royster to the resi dence hall. Anything could happen, especially to females." Blair Smith "Yes, parking is a problem for me. My husband and I are both commuters. Unless we arrive at 6:30 a.m., we are forced to park in "Egypt." Tammy Johnson "Parking for HAPY residents is very poor, and without lighting at night, it can be danger ous." Jeff Caldwell "Until students attend a large university, they don’t know how lucky they are. At some schools, students have to ride buses to class." Dr. Sue Camp "I think it should be anywhere I want it to be. Because I have to park all the way behind the Craig Building and I have classes up in Lindsay." Misha Tydle "I don't have any problem with parking. There's always a place when I want to park." Trey Gilliam "It's limited. There are so many cars and not enough spaces. We just have more cars on campus this semester." Lou Ann Hughes "I think it's reasonable, but there's most definitely not enough space. When I was a commuter I used to have to park behind Hardee's and walk to school."
