The Gardner-Webb College graduate program, launched in 1980 with 60 students, has grown in numbers as well as in areas of study. Today, the graduate program is 350 students strong. In addition to the on-campus program, it extends to five off- campus centers, located in Gaston, Davidson, Forsythe, Surry and Moore Counties. The graduate program offerings include master’s degrees in early childhood and intermediate education, middle school education, health education, physical education, school administration, counselor education and, in off- campus settings, English education for 6-9 and 9-12. In addition, a social studies program is being developed for Surry County. Dr. Gilmer Blackburn, associate dean for academic affairs, has administered the program since 1983. "We pride ourselves in two features,” Dr. Blackburn says, ”We have done more than 23 clusters (10 courses each) and have never terminated a program." He explains that Gardner-Webb is committed to teaching the entire course load. A graduate center will not close down until the students complete the program. "This motivates us to do a first- rate job," he says. The program is designed for working teachers. Dr. Blackburn points out that teachers can keep their jobs and at¬ tend classes, which are offered one night each week through the school year and two nights each week in the summer. A graduate cluster usually takes two school years plus one summer term to complete. Gardner-Webb is experienced in offering programs in off-campus situations. For the convenience of the student, registration is done on site. Books are delivered to the center and advising is done at the program location. Library privileges at Wake Forest University have been extended to Gardner-Webb graduate students in that area. Other students are within driving distance of the main campus library. Dr. Blackburn says that the program has had a low attrition rate. "We have an academically rigorous program," he says. While Gardner-Webb’s graduate program classes meet 45 contact hours, programs at some other col¬ leges meet as few as 36 contact hours. "We do it because we’re interested in quality," he says.

Asheville Symphony and Choral Union The Asheville Symphony and Choral Union performed John Rutter’s "Requiem" on cam¬ pus in March. Rutter is the most popular new composer of the 20th Century, noted for his "For the Beauty of the Earth." "Requiem" included a presentation of his arrangement, "The Lord is My Shepherd." Among the pieces presented were Beethoven’s "Hallelujah," Handel’s "Sing Unto God," and Kopylow’s "Heavenly Light." Other highlights for the Concert Choir were an appearance in the opening session of the 1989 National Baptist Doctrine Conference at Charlotte’s First Baptist Church and a spring tour during March to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Thirty-two Ministers Join Ministerial Board Thirty-two ministers have been named to the Ministerial Board of Associates at Gardner-Webb College. The pur¬ pose of the board is to help the college develop quality students who will dedicate themselves to the Christian way of life in the vocations of their own choosing.

The Ladies won a school record 19 games while losing only nine. In the process, a number of team and individual milestones were recorded. Initially, as mentioned before, the 19 victories were a school record, breaking the record of 17 set in the 1978-79 season. In fact, the 19 wins were over twice as many as Gardner- Webb had won in the last three years combined (3-19, 0-25, 5-19) and only two short of being as many as Gardner-Webb had won in the last four years combined (13-12, 3-19, 0-25, 5- 19). The Women Runnin, Bulldogs were denied oppor¬ tunities to win two scheduled contests when Catawba and Barber-Scotia were forced to cancel their seasons due to a measles epidemic. If those games were counted as forfeit wins (the games counted as forfeit wins in the district but not in the overall race) the Ladies would have accumulated 21 vic¬ tories this season. Other team records broken this year include: Most Rebounds in a Game, 69, versus Pfeiffer (11-22-88); Most Free Throws Made, 31, versus Pfeiffer (11-22-88); Most Points in First Half, 55, versus Meredith (2-9-89); Best Field Goal Per¬ centage in a Season, 43-9 percent; Most Rebounds in a Season, 1451; Best Rebounding Average, 51.8; Most Field Goals Made, 965; Most Field Goals Attempted, 2197; Most Points Scored in a Season, 2353; and Most Times Scor¬ ing over 90 points, 9. Individual records set include: Most Free Throws in a Game, 16, Fredia Lawrence versus Lenoir-Rhyne (12-9-88); Most Free Throws Attempted, 19, Fredia Lawrence versus Lenoir-Rhyne (12-9-88)- Best Field Goal Percentage (minimum 10 attempts), 9-10 (90.0%), Fredia Lawrence versus Meredith (12-3-88); Most Points Scored in One Season, 612, Fredia Lawrence; Three Point Field Goals Made, 60, Benita Tilley; Three Point Percentage (minimum of 50 attempts), 39.2 percent, Benita Tilley. Freshman guard Fredia Lawrence was the key to Gardner-Webb’s resurgence this season averaging 21.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3 6 assists and 2.4 steals per game. Her 612 points this season were a record for the Lady Bulldogs and she was named All-District 26 for her efforts. Junior guard Benita Tilley played very well this season averaging 12.8 points, and 5.1 assists per contest. She also hit 60 three-pointers on the year. Freshman forward Valerie Crowell averaged 11.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. Freshman Terra Miller contributed 8.9 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, while freshman Hattie Young averaged 6.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots. Guards junior Roxanne Ferguson (6.2 points, 2.6 assists) and freshman Lisa Campbell (6.0 points, 2.4 assists) also played very well. This year’s team recorded some other significant firsts as well. They scored their first ever win over Central Wes¬ leyan and followed that up with two more victories over the Lady Warriors to run the series record to 3-4. Gardner-Webb also recorded its first win ever over High Point and now trails the Lady Panthers 1-3. But the most significant wins came over the Lenoir-Rhyne Lady Bears, the first two wins in 24 tries in the series that spans Gardner-Webb’s existence as a four-year college. The Women also played three first time opponents this season in Columbia, Bluefield, and Montreat-Anderson (twice) and won all four games. Prior to this season, Gardner- Webb had a combined record of 33-97 (.340 winning percentage) against this year’s opponents as compared to this year’s 19-9 record (.679 winning percentage). With 11 freshmen on this year’s squad and only one senior (reserve Kim Haywood), the future looks very bright. If a few key recruits pan out, next year could definitely find the Women Runnin’ Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb among the elite of the SAC-8 and District 26, and maybe even of the entire nation.

Gardner-Webb outscored opponents by an average of 12.2 points per game, 84.0 to 71.8. The Women Runnin’ Bulldogs finished the season as the 11th highest scoring team in the nation.

Fredia Lawrence, a freshman from Lawndale, was named to the All-District 26 team. She average 21.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3 6 assists and 2.4 steals per game.

PACT Roslyn Edwards, the National Junior College Athletic Association’s leading scorer last season, has signed an athletic scholarship to attend Gardner- WITH Webb College. * Edwards, who played for Kennedy-King College in Chicago, Ill., averaged 33-9 points per game last season, outdistancing her nearest competition BULLDOGS by 5.8 points per game. Over the last two years the 5-foot-6-inch guard has averaged 33.1 points while making 48.5 percent of her shots from the floor. During that same period she has made an astounding 50.2 percent of her three-point at¬ tempts. Her three point accuracy is even more amazing when considering that this past season she connected on 145 three-point shots and only 113 two-point attempts. During her two years of junior college ball, Miss Edwards also connected on 71 percent of her free throws. Other highlights of her career thus far include 52 points in a single game, 12 three-pointers in a single game, 746 points in a single season, and 1,324 points in two years.
