When we first began to think about a system by which Christian citizenship could be maintained in our college com munity, this question arose, “How can justice be provided for all on an equal basis?” Our primary objective was to integrate the positive points of other penalty systems in order to compile a just and flexible system that would fit the needs of this campus exclus ively. All of us we know are aware when there is a community of living, there must be rules by which the community main tains its rights to exist. Rules are not made to take away your freedoms but to guaran tee that they shall be upheld. We are certain that you will help us to uphold these stan dards and will contribute any ideas as to how- we can im prove our campus community. Bunk Spann Becky Brooks Slaii Procedure by Harriett Otten In a corner of this twice- a-month newspaper, one wiU see a list of names. Is it just a “list of names” or does one visualize a group of students hard at work? Indeed, they are hard at work gathering material, interviewing, listen ing. watching, punching type writers, and pushing pencils. All this is attempted and ac complished in their “spare time.” The complete staff is divid ed into two sections, the Edi torial Staff and the Business staff. Basically, the duty of the Editorial Staff is to report and compile the news. The Busi ness Staff has as its primary function the problem of rais ing the funds to meet the bud get.

(Continued on Pa^e 4) (Ed.s Note: This is the first in a se ries on inter esting histori cal aspects of L a urinburg and its com- m u n i t y. A better under standing of Laurinburg’s past will help in creating a har monious existance between col lege students at St. Andrews and the corrununity residents.) In 1879 a crippled young man came to Laurinburg looking for a place to teach school. His name was Willi'am Graham Qu'akenbush. His background was a story of birth into a poor family, orphaned at the age of 12, and crippled in an accident in his early youth. But William Was a born ed ucator, and his brilliance was n o t i ced by a neighborhood school teacher, a Miss Webb, and she played a major role in helping William obtain an edu cation. First, William was tu tored 'by Miss Webb herself, and then went on to study at a small academy at Four Oaks in Orange county. From there he went to study at Bingham school at Mebane. At his fin ish there. Colonel Bingham loaned William money for a year’s study at the University of Virginia. It was then that William, in 1879, came to Laurinburg to begin his career as a teacher and an educator. His first school was a large frame house on the Lumberton road. The school did not consist of grades as we know of them today, but there was definitely a division of high school study. When a student finished at the Quaken- bush school, 'he was ready for college, teaching, or to go out into the world of business. Mr. Quakenbush was a good educator but he was more. His former students say that he gave them in addition some thing not to be found in books, some transmission by precept and example of his own up right character and his ideals that they have carried with them through the years. In the midst of his work and when he had come to the fullest realization of his power, he was stricken by paralysis in his 51st year. He tried to carry on for a time but found it impossible to do so, for an other stroke followed and still another before his death at 54. But in the course of his life time Mr. Quakenbush had built a school and a system of edu cation that was to transform this corner of the state. The monument which stands before the courthouse is a fit ting memorial to the m!an and his work; “Christian Scholar and Phil anthropist, For 21 years principal of Laurinburg High School His life was gentle, ‘And the elements so mixet in him That Nature might stand up and say to all the world. This was a Man.’ The dedication reads: “In recognition of his exalted character, In appreciation of his en nobling influence upon youth, Erected by a people grate ful for his love and serv ice.” When next you are in down town Laurinburg, stop by the memorial and read the inscrip tion there. It will be hard not to feel that we must try to en rich our lives and to try to live in a manner near to that of William Quakenbush. ‘^’^The Laurinburg Exchange, Dec. 15, 1932 Motor Vehicle Permits To Be Issued Motor Vehicle Use Permits and registration Decals will be 'ssued Monday through Wed nesday, October I6-I0, in the Student Center Bookstore for those whose applications have 'leen approved by October 12.
