3 Have you noticed that... by Kevin Walter Staff Editor 1. The cafeteria has tried to trick you into eating Frito Pie by calUng it Taco Casserole 2. Even though it is good to be a univer sity now it feels weird to say. 3. Elvis has never been seen in Boiling Springs. 4. All those stray dogs, cats, and a few skunks have disappeared. Hum, makes you wonder, doesn't it? 5. That all the cafeteria's improvements were cosmetic. I believe that Tammy Fae's improvements were cosmetic too, and she isn't very appetizing either. 6. About the only difference in last semester's food and this one is that just about everything this semester has either red or green peppers, onions or mushrooms in it. I'm sorry I don't like mushrooms in my cold ravioli. ... COMPUTERS, from page 1 The new lab consists of 21 IBM comput ers and color monitors along with 6 IBM narrow carriage printers and one wide-car- riage printer. The new lab also has a PC Viewer, which allows the instructor to project selected software material from a computer onto a screen to be viewed by students in the class. The lab is open to all GWU students, faculty, and staff between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except when assigned classes are being held. ... INTERNS, from page 1 Jason Owensby also began interning at SHN last semester. Jason does everything from doing footage for the news, to voice overs for commercials. I began as an intern in the spring semester of '92 as a field reporter. Now, I have the privilege of working as the weekend anchor. "Shelby Headline News is a great place to work! It provides you with the opportunity of having experience, and fun while you're doing it," says Jason Owensby. Each one will agree that SHN is a great place to apply the knowledge that is learned in the classroom. They are willing to let students get behind the camera, in front of the camera, behind the editing board, and the many other areas associated with running a television sta tion. Trash Woes in Spangler, Myers by Andrew Hopper Staff Editor Out of all the residence halls on campus, Spangler has one of the worst reputations. Noise is a major problem in Spangler. Recently, Wayne Johnson, director of Resi dence Life, called a meeting with the RA's of Spangler and Myers Halls concerning this problem. Johnson informed the RA’s of Span gler that he and Dean Scott had received com plaints about noise from residents of Spangler Hall. Mandatory meetings were held in both building immediately, concerning noise and other issues. Among these issues were trash in the hallways, filthy bathrooms, the vandalism of signs posted for general information, and the basic lack of respect of authority and each other. Some students see Spangler returning to the sad state which residents had to endure a couple of years ago. "The real problem is that ,in the past, our RA's did not care what went on in the dorms. Some mornings I would go in the bathrooms and just turn around; it was so nasty," says Spangler resident, Brian Sally. In a recent inspectionof the baths in Span gler, food was found in the sinks, trash was found scattered on the floors, and toilets were unflushed. Dunsey Harper said, "The bathrooms are real nasty and the roaches are so tough, they eat the Combat roach traps." This problem is addressed in the student handbook. On page 46 is states, "To prevent rodents and insects, all food in residence hall rooms must be kept in covcred or closed air tight containers..." Common sense dictates that food left in sinks will attract insects just as food left in a room will. The handbook goes on to say, "Students are expected to maintain and assist in keeping the area [common areas such as hallways, bathrooms, and laundry rooms] clean throughout the day." Lack of respect has long been a problem in Spangler. Third floor RA, Greg Carpenter, said, "The other night, I had a mandatory meeting. Signs were posted 3 days in advance. Still, I had to go round up my residents by yelling down both sides of the hall, and even then, about fifteen of my residents didn't show. If residents would respect each other, then my job, and those of the other RA's, would be a lot easier." All residents should be smart It's up to the community of Spangler and Myers Halls to change its reputation by lending a hand and eliminating the problems [flushing toilets, putting trash where it belongs, keeping the noise down etc.]. Once the residents of Span gler and Myers come together as a community, the bad reputation will be overcome and they will be viewed upon as a community of fine and intelligent men. We're Off To See The Wizard Special to the Pilot The Gardner-Webb University Theatre will present the screen version of The Wizard of Oz on February 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Dover Theatre.

Gardner- Webb students are admitted free with ID. ... DISHONESTY, from page 1 cheat will not achieve in the long run. Cheating exists; that’s fact. From all the indications, it could become rampant and wide spread, if it is not already. Dr. Gregg has only been here one semester and has already en countered it. Dr. Price, on the other hand, who has been here for three full semesters, has encountered quite a few incidents. Both Bailey and Reese have seen people peeking, staring, and overtly cheating. They have seen everything from cheat sheets to notes written on hands. Reese says that, frequently, computer homework assignments were copied from disk to disk with minor changes. All sides agree that a change from this can only come from the students. NEXT WEEK: SPECIAL SGA ELECTION ISSUE brought to you by The Pilot
