Hopes Wild
And Wooly
North Carolina’s 1981 wool
pool sale set several new records,
with a new high of 273 wool pro
ducers consigning their wool to
the sale. A wool pool is a method
by which a group of small wool
producers “pool” their wool for
sale in order to make a large
.enough lot of wool to encourage
purchase by wool buyers, and
hopefully, bring better prices for
producers.
Wool coming from Asheville,
Salisbury, Durham and Hertford
were pooled together, totaling
49,701 pounds of wool. Com
pared to the 1982 pool of 34,094
pounds, wool production incres-
ed by 45 percent for the 1983
pool sale. The sale brought wool
producers a total of $23,662.11
in 1983, compared to $14,982.08
in 1982-an increase of 57 per
cent.
‘The wool from this pool was
sold to, Provoust Lefebre of
Jamestown, South Carolina,”
said Agriculture Commissioner
Jim Graham. ‘The wool will be
scoured by this company and
sold to manufacturers of wool
material.”
Wool produced from the
Boone and Sparta area, which
was not sold in the state wool
pool totaled 8,223 pounds for a
total state wool production of
57,924 pounds. Including the
Boone and Sparta wool, state
producers received $27,258.11
for their wool production.

Squeal Rule ’ ’ Squeaks By
From Gallup Polls
The American public favors
the so-called “squeal rule,” a
regulation that would require
Federally-funded family plann
ing clinics to notify parents
when the clinic provides birth
control drugs and devices to
females under the age of 18.
Among all adults, support for
the regulation outweighs opposi
tion, 547o to 40%. However,
college-educated persons, young
adults (18-24 yeats) and single
persons oppose the rule by slight
margins.
Church menibers and regular
churchgoers are more likely to
favor the proposed law than are
non-members and persons who
do not attend church regularly.
Of particular interest is the fin
ding that Catholics and Pro
testants hold similar views on
this issue.
The regulation, blocked by an
injunction before it was to have
taken effect February 25, would
have required Federally-funded
clinics to notify parents within
ten days if their daughters under
18 were prescribed birth control
pills and other birth control
drugs and devices.
Those who favor the rule
argue that parents have a right
to know about their teenage
daughters’ sexual activity. Those
opposed believe teenagers who
are sexually active would be
frightened away from clinics if
they knew their parents would
be told, and that this would
result in an increase in teenage
pregnancies. ^
About 5,000 clinics nation
wide would be covered by the
birth control rule, and officials
estimate it would affect more
than 400,000 young women.
Here is the question and
results:
Would you favor or oppose a
regulation that would require
Federally-funded family plann
ing clinics to notify parents
when the clinic provides precrip-
tion birth control drugs and
devices, such as the pill, to
female children under the age of
18? No

Gardner-Webb College has
concluded its 1982-83 Annual
College Fund campaign with the
results indicating the college not
only surpassed its goal for the
yem but raised more money than
ever before.
The goal for this year’s fund
was $150,000. The total amount
contributed to the 1982-83 An
nual College funds was
$157,192.
Until this year, the most the
college had exceeded its goal was
by $500 in 1979-80, according to
Dianne Ledbetter. Gardner-
Webb’s development associate in
charge of the Annual College
Fund. The largest amount raised
for the fund also occurred during
that same year when $150,500
was raised.
The Annual College Fund is
important, said Mrs. Ledbetter,
because it provides unrestricted
money that can be used by the
college where it is most needed.
Money from the Annual College
F und is included in the operating
budget as well as the educational
budget. Contributions to the
fund are made annually by alum
ni, parents and friends.
‘Triends have been very sup
portive,” said Mrs. Ledbetter,
“Churches in the area have also
been very supportive.”
“I think in this area with such
a Christian tradition, the people
believe in what Gardner-Webb is
trying to accomplish. That is,
quality higher education in a ■
Christian atmosphere.”
Oren Wyatt of Shelby who
was the 1982-83 national
chairperson of the Annual Col
lege F und, also recognizes the in
terest the community has in
Gardner-Webb. ‘The communi
ty feels a strong sense of respon
sibility for the success of
Gardner-Webb, whether they
are alumni or not,” he said.
In other college news, libraries
throughout the country have
found the best way to cope with
budget cuts and the ever-
changing interests of patrons is
to practice what they’ve always
promoted, borrow.
Gardner-Webb is no different.
But the college has found itself
in a different position this year.
Not only has the college borrow
ed less for other colleges than in
previous years but its lending to
libraries have increased.
“For the first time we are len
ding as much as we’re borrow
ing,” said Joy Sandifer, reference
librarian at Gardner-Webb. “As
our holdings continue to in
crease we will be more suscepti
ble to requests for loans.”
Libraries are becoming aware
of Gardner-Webb’s holdings,
said Mrs. Sandifer because of the
college’s membership in the
Southeastern Library Network
(SOLINET), a national data
bank of library holdings.
Gardner-Webb became a
member of SOLINET in 1977
and has listed with the network
all library acquisitions made
since that time. All members of
SOLINET have computer access
to the list of holdings of all other
member libraries.
Libraries request anything
from books, to microfilm, to
audiovisual materials, on topics
that are “across the board” said
Mrs. Sandifer.
Recent requests have been for
materials on culture,
biochemistry, religion, sexual
avvareness and communism, and
the requests havew come from
not only local public libraries but
from college and medical
libraries throughout the country.
“We’ve loaned materials to
Duke University, the University
of Alabama, Rider College in
New Jersey, Western Reserve
University in Illinois and area-
health and science libraries in
Statesville, Charlotte and
Asheville.” These are just a few
of the libraries that have borrow
ed from Gardner-Webb said
Mrs. Sandifer.
While Gardner-Webb’s bor
rowing has declined in the past
year, Mrs. Sandifer does not
foresee an end to the practice.
“Because of the varied subjects
our people are interested in, we
can’t supply the needs of all our
patron's,” she said. “No college
can.”
