Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, killing more people each year than all other causes, including all dis eases and accidents combined. Last year over 135 billion dollars were spent to treat cardio vascular disease.

In honor or Dr. Martin Liither King Jr. Traditions cannot be easily changed The board of trustees of G. W. College has decided to ban any negro students from admission to the school. The decision was made in compliance with the North Carolina State Baptist Convention's ruling on the sub ject which says that each school under the guidance of the Convention may decide for itself whether or not it will admit Negro stu dents. The decision was adopted in the form of a resolution which reads as follows: “ because the preponderant majority of the con stituency of Gardner-Webb College reporting their opinion in the survey conducted by a special committee appointed for the purpose was decidedly against the admission of Negro students, and because the college cannot oper ate without their whole-hearted support, and because the student body was divided sub stantially on the problem, we, as a board of trustees, express as our opinion, that we are Faculty Q & A not ready for the admission of Negroes to Gardner-Webb College.” This decision is one of great magnitude which most of our Baptist colleges have had to face. This problem cannot and will not be solved in a short time. Not until Christian people are able to look on all men as their brothers, sons of their Heavenly Father, and deserving of privileges such as their own, can it be expected that state schools and political groups will find it necessary or even possible to assure the same attitude. Many questions arise from this subject and the “evils” of inte gration have been aired time and time again. How then can people state in their creed of religion that God “hath made of one blood all nations of men” and at the same time discrimi nate against them? This contradiction can only be explained by saying that the traditions and practices of generations cannot be easily changed; not until man wants them to change. Traditions Cannot Be Easily Changed; The Pilot; March, 1956; page 2; no byline ( only spelling is corrected in Look Back articles; structure, capitalization etc. is original). Susan Bell: professor of art Q. Where did you attend college? A. Mary Baldwin College in Stanton, VA where I doubled majored in art history and studio. I received a masters in Christian educa tion and a masters in art education at USC. I've also studied abroad in museums in Europe. Q. Who is your favorite artist? Why? A. It depends on the subject and mood. I love Rembrant’s Biblical scenes, Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel, and my daughter Elizabeth's artwork. Q. What or who inspired you to be an artist? A. My mom was an artist and a funny lady. She modeled for me being a wife, mom, and work ing artist. Q. What sort of shape was the art depart ment in when you first came to Gardner- Webb? A. The art department had shrunk to a half time position. Q. What improvements have you made within the department? A. I now have a half time adjunct (a profes sional artist from Charlotte). We have added 2 new courses to the program, Christianity in art and intro to drawing. The department also has a lot of speaking engagements in churches and civic groups using art history as a basis or studio demonstrations. Q. You are well known for your Christian views. How do you think that influences your teaching? A. I want students to know that I care about them and that God loves them... I try to use opening prayers, not to be religious, but to let us focus on what's really important... In the studio, the symmetry and extraordinary ab stractions in the most ordinary flower remind me of the creative genius of God... Q. What are your views on art censorship? A. I think art that lasts embodies the truth. While we all have freedom to express, some artists have more to say than others. There are two issues - freedom of expression and who pays for it. Art that exploits another human being or blasphemes the truth is a price I don’t want to pay. It demands a higher price than dollars and cents.
