The clanging of hammers
and the motors of fork lifts will
be a major sound on the
Gardner-Webb campus begin
ning in January.
This cacophony will be
welcomed by many "on-cam-
pus" students who live several
miles away, because these
sounds will mark the construc
tion of three new apartments in
the vicinity of the three apart
ments already in place.
One hundred and forty two
additional students will be able
to call the apartments their
home in August. And yes, even
freshmen may be able to apply
to live in an apartment.
"Right now our goal is to
fill the space. We will allow
freshmen to live there based on
how many upper-classmen sign
up," Doug Searcy, Director of
Residence Life, said. "The
upper-classmen will be able to
sign up first. The campus is

expected to be at full capacity
during the 1999-2000 school
year, so it's imperative for all
upper-class students to get the
first opportunity to claim apart
ment space."
"I don't have a problem
with freshmen living there as
long as there aren't enough
upper-class students that sign
up. It's better to have freshmen
there than leave the spaces
empty," Jesse Bowles, an apart
ment resident, said.
The university is choosing
to build more apartments
instead of adding residence
halls because students asked
for more apartments.
"We polled students a cou
ple of times and found out that
enough wanted to live there,"
Searcy said. "The apartments
will do a lot for the university
and the students. I feel confi
dent that the new apartments
will meet the students' needs
and show that Gardner-Webb is
taking strides to become an
emerging university by provid-

carols and traditional
Christmas favorites.
Cartee said, "This is what
Christianity is all about Giving

Cartee began his song writ
ing second-to-none housing
"The apartments provide
privacy and a place to study.
They have their own washer
and dryer and a kitchen space.
They are very aesthetically
pleasing," Searcy said.
The apartments are desired
because they allow students to
have their own personal space,
plus they don't have to insert
quarters in a machine to wash
clothes. However, the apart
ments also have their down
side.
"I like living there because
I like having my own bedroom,
a washer and dryer, and the
extra living space. What I don't
like is that you don't get to
know many people there. To be
honest, I don't even know who
lives across the hall," Bowles
said.
The three new apartments
will be practically the same as
the present three, according to
Searcy.

apartments, just a few minor
adjustments. We're also going
to build a club house for the
apartments. It's mainly going to
be lobby space because the
apartments are so individual
ized," Searcy said.
This constructive venture
will cost the school between $3
and 4 million. So, how will that
effect how much students will
have to pay to live there?
"Right now it costs $1800
to live there per semester.
There is no guarantee that it
won't change next year, but I
haven't heard of a proposed
increase," Searcy said.
Sign-ups to live in the
apartments will start in the
spring. So, it's never too early
to consider where to live next
fall.
"We will have room sign
ups in the spring. Students can
sign up in groups of four to live
in the apartments. So, they
need to start thinking about it
now," Searcy said.

Gardner-Webb Univcrs.ity's School oi'
Divinity has a new name.
The Board of Trustees voted unani-
mou'ily at their October 22 meeting tt)
name the School of Divinity in honor of
President Christopher White. U will be
called the M. Cliristopher While School
of Divinity.
White is credited with helping the
Divinity school from its beginnings in the
iate l!^0’s and early I990's, when he
sought support for the program. John
Robeits. a member of the board'.s
txccuiive Committee that brought forth
the motion to nanje the school said, "It
was-an act of faith to begin the School of
Divinity."
"Chris White believed wholehearted
ly that the coinniunity and frienils of the
University would come to the divinity
school’s aid once they saw the impact this
program could have," Roberts said.
The trustees voted tt) begin the school
in 1992 and it opened in 1993. At it's
inception, the school offered only one
degree and had 35 students, since that
time it has grown to offer four degrees and
has 130 students enrolled. Gardner-Webb
was the first Baptist-affiliated university
to begin a divinity school.
"Other than being named president of
Gardner-Webb in 1986. the honor
bestowed on me by the Board of Trustees
in naming the Scht)ol of Divinity is my
most important professional reajgnition. 1
am humbled and grateful. The School of
Divinity is literally a dream cotne true for
me," ’ftHiitc said.
