The Pilot / November 18, 1994 3 AROUND CAMPUS Faculty Spotlight Faculty Spotlight introduces you to a faculty member at Gardner-Webb each issue. Dr. June Hobbs: English by Tonya Cochran staff writer Dr. June Hobbs, new assistant professor of English at GWU, received her bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, her master's degree from the University of Louisville, and her Ph.D. from the Univer sity of Oklahoma. She recently moved to Boiling Springs from Norman, Oklahoma. Dr. Hobbs considers herself an Americanist duel to her great interest in American literature. She also considers herself “a 19th century anachronism” be cause her attitudes toward letter writing, religion, technology and literature reflect 19th century values. Her great loves include her family, murder mysteries and chocolate. “I could live a along time without television or telephones and never miss them as long as I have a stack of murder mysteries and plenty of chocolate,” she says. Dr. Hobbs jdivulges her most embar rassing moment as a teacher with chuckles. She says that “about five or six years ago on Valentine's Day^ ray husband showed up at my classroom with his barbershop quartet dressed in striped shirts with suspenders and straw hats.” The quartet serenaded Dr. Hobbs with “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” Adding to the embarrassment was the fact that her class was composed of non-Ameri cans who didn't understand American customs and did not speak English well.

Officer Curry has received numerous regional merit awards and citations for outstanding service as a law enforcement officer.

I also hope that security will get more sworn officers to increase its manpower,” said Chief Curry. He assures us that his doors will be open: Internet to benefit campus continued from page 1 Once the lines are on-campus. University funds must be used to install and complete the system. According to Danny Davis, Internet is currently set up in the Withrow computer lab, and is functioning at a very low level. Short term plans include linking all of the offices in Withrow to Internet. Within the next 3-5 years, Davis hopes to have all the buildings and dorms on cam pus linked by Internet. One thing that will make this easier is that each dorm-room al ready has a jack, just above the regular phone jack that is designated for Internet. Once the system is complete, students with computers in their rooms can be connected to Internet or any on-campus lab from their dorm room. Creating this system on campus wUl also necessitate the computerization of the library’s card catalog, an often voiced request of stu dents. Currently the University is investigating its options for completing the installation of Internet Gardner-Webb is also looking into the fi nancial aspect of creating an Internet system on campus, as Davis estimates that it will cost approximately $300,000-$500,000.
