Communications Degree Gets Response At G.W.
BOILING SPRINGS, NC-A
single year after initiating a
communications degree,
Gardrier-Webb’s; program
has approximately 40 majors
and is well on its way to
becoming one of the larger
programs on the campus.
“The program, in a year,
has fulfilled over’ half of its
objectives,”” said Dr. Bill
Stowe, director of com-
munication studies. “I’m ex-
ecting as many és 60 majors
1n 1986-87.”
The 25 initial students in
the program last fall came
from three groups, according
to Stowe: transfers,
freshmen, and others who
came early to participate in
the program befiore it was of-
ficially established. Early
recruiting efforts were
minimal for the: first year
because the pro gram was not
instated until March 1984.
This fall appiroximately 20
new lh {ave expressed
serious interest in the pro-
gram and five ‘have declared
the major. Since freshmen
generally do not declare ma-
Jos: the figures could be
ighers, Stowe: says.
Radio insticuction, print
journalims, s eech and
drama are alriea y part of the
communications degree cur-
riculum. Filmi and television
classes should be included

Kings Mountain Senior
High Inas been notified by Na-
tionall Merit Scholarship Cor-
poration (NMSC) that
Fluvanna Ferebee and Ela
Miliewski have been
desiignéited Commended
Sturdents; in the 1986 Merit |
Prc)grann.
T'he principal, Lonnie
Wi Ison, announced today that
these seniors will receive a
Latter of Commendation in
honor of outstanding
a.cadernic promise,
clemonstrated by placing in
‘the top five percent of over
one million participants in
the 31st annual National
Merit Scholarship Program.
An officer of NMSC, which
administers the program,
stated that, ‘Being named a
Commended Student in the
extremely competitive Merit
Program is a credit to these
young men and women and to
their schools, which [lay an
important role in the develo
ment of academically
talented youth.
“The high test perfor-
mance - of Commended
Students is indicative of ex-
ceptional scholastic ability,
which is essential in a nation
that prides itself on
cultivating individual ex-
cellence. We hope the honor
these sutdents have earned
will provide motivation for
them to use their talents to
the fullest and also will serve
as an example for other
aspiring young citizens.”
Participants entered the
current Merit Program by
taking the PSAT/NMSQT in
October 1984, when most of
them were nies. Although
their quali ye test scores
‘are very high, the 35,000 Com-
mended Students nationwide
scored slightly below the
level required for
Semifinalist standing. Only
the 15,000 Semifinalists,
whose names were announc-
ed on Sept. 11 will continue in
the competition for some
5,800 Merit Scholarships to be
awarded in 1986.
Miss Ferebee is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
James C. Ferebee, 1221
Wales Rd.
Miss Milewski is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. An-
drew Milewski,
mont Ave.
1213 Pied-
within the next year and a
half.
It is important to Stowe
that students have ‘firm in-
strution in basics and the op-
portunity for hands-on ex-
perience in their fields from
the beginning of their studies.
“We would like to get
students in some proximity of
actual design and situations
on which media depend,”
Stowe said.
A room is being renovated
at the radio station for the
program. It will be a produc-
tion studio equivalent to the
one used for broadcasting,
but its primary function is in-
structional.
Speech, drama courses and
dramatic production are
under the direction of Dr. Jef-
frey Elwell, who has recently
joined the G-W faculty.
“It is my hope that there is
a renaiscance of drama of

Gardner-Webb,” said Elwell.
“I'm looking to achieve a
great deal over the next few
years. The facility and the
support thus far has been
great.”
- According to Stowe,
“Speech is a course that a
religion or education major
can take to polish Toshins
abilities, but primarily it is a
course in the communica-
tions curriculum. It is not
