Rev. DA. Costner, a Baptist minister for 63 years, gave the invocation and the devotional giving stet a “plus” in what you do. Josephine Weire gave the necrology report, speaking of the death of a beloved member, Willie Plonk Patterson, on September 2. Recent retirees and other new members were welcomed by President Myers T. Hambright. They were given a flower to wear. Esther Millsaps was thanked for her effort in reaching these. Already 22 new members have joined. Announcement was made that Robert Borders, Informa tion and Protective Services Committee member, has secured a representative from EDS, State Insurance Carrier, to speak at the October meeting. The day’s program was a most interesting and instructive presentation of a trip recently made around the world. Dr. Wyan Washburn gave an over view of the extent and direction taken. His wife Emily gave her impressions of the places and people visited, telling also something of the food, Mrs. Dorothy Edwards presented slides of “Russia, Sanarkand, and China. The Chinese have been artists for thousands of years. They take pride in their work. In China no one is hungry today; no one is without work; and even though they make only about ten cents an hour they work hard. There is no problem of discipline. The people care about their children. They are supposed to have only one child and if they have more they are taxed heavily. The people are respectful to others. They are a kind and gracious people and welcome outsiders. Only the rich have cars. In Russia the people are different in attitude. They are skeptical of outsiders. It is like stepping back in time in Russia. They let visitors see and take pictures only of what they wish them to see. All of the many countries Russia has taken over are considered a part of the Soviet Union, but the conquered peoples wish to still be identified as persons from their original country, not under the name of Russians. The meeting was well attended. Preparations Moving Upward On Elevator At College Buildings Preparations are being made for the installation of a new elevator at Gardner-Webb Col lege. According to G-W President Craven Williams, one of the primary reasons for installing another elevator on campus is to further facilitate the mobility of handicapped students. The elevator, which is being installed in the Lindsay Classroom Building will aid not only students confined to wheelchairs, but because the control buttons will be labeled with braille, the elevator will be of service to blind students as well. “When this campus was orginally constructed the special needs of handicapped students were not anticipated,” said Williams. ‘The addition of these students has made it necessary to make adjustments, to make the campus totally accessible.” The new elevator will provide access to all floors of Lindsay and the second and third floors of the Church Annex. It is scheduled to be in operation for the beginning of the 1984 spring semester.
