A GOOD PRICE
The Indians who sold Manhattan Island for $24 worth of trade goods in
the 1600s didn’t do all that badly, according to one real estate consul-
tant. If they’d invested that $24-even at 6 percent compounded-it would
be worth $27.6 billion today. The current assessed value of taxable real
estate in Manhattan is only $23.4 billion. ;

G-W Coaches Promoted
1972-75 G-W basketball
teams. After receiving a
bachelor’s degree in physical
education from G-W in 1975,
he worked for the college as
an admissions counselor for
one year.
In 1976, he accepted the
head basketball coach posi-
tion at Statesville high school
and coached the Greyhounds
for seven years.
Ellis will take over the role
as men’s tennis coach with
seven years experience as
boys and girls tennis coach at
Statesville. While there, he
also coached track and cross-
country teams.
McFarland played baseball
at G-W from 1979-82 and was
named baseball coach in
1983.. During the 1985 season,
he led the Bulldogs to their
first District 26 playoff berth
in nine years.
He received both a
bachelor’s and a master’s
degree in physical education
from G-W.
As SID, McFarland will be
responsible for preparing and
releasing information about
G-W athletics to the media
and will work closely with all
the college coaches.
McFarland will continue
his role as baseball coach.
‘‘Ozzie’s earlier
background in writing and
his overall knowledge of
athletics and Gardner-Webb
College make him an ideal
person to work with the
media and coaches to pro-
mote athletics,” Garrity
said.
“Ozzie and Bill will be
handling the area of respon-
sibility formerly handled by
Randy Alexander,” Garrity
continued. ‘‘Their involve-
ment frees me to concentrate
on football, basketball and
marketing the total college
program.’’
Ellis was named assistant
basketball coach at G-W in
1983 and executive director of
the Bulldog Club in 1984.
“The Bulldog Club has set a
goal of raising $125,000 for
athletic scholarships. Bill has
done an excellent job with the
Bulldog Club but we are ask-
ing him to double the amount
raised last year in the next
twelve months,’”’ Garrity
said.
