DECEMBER 19. 1961 THE LANCE PAGE THREE SGA Officers Gain New Ideas From Ailending Convention St. Andrews’ student govern ment has voted to become a member of the North State Student Government Associa tion (NSSGA) in the spring of 1962. Decision to join the state organization follow^ed a report and recommendation for eiffi- liation by five students who at tended the NSSGA Convention at Atlantic Christian College, Wilson, December 3-4. St. An drews will be accepted offic ially at the spring assembly. Iiwited to attend the meet ing as special guests, St. An drews delegates were Annie Duke, student government president; Janet Askew, Hon or .Council .member; Nancy Gray, representative of wo men’s dormitories; Larry Fow ler, president of the Student Center Board; and Wayne Farmer, representative of men’s dormitories. “Workshops conducted by the various member schools pro vided a melting pot of ideas — some of which we have al ready put into practice and oth ers that may be of use in the future,” said representa tive Nancy. :‘,‘By sending at east one of our delegates to each workshop we were able to benefit from all the forums. Top ics discussed included community relationships, fresh men orientation 'and initiation, entertainment, public ity of work and events of the SGA, the judiciary system, the hon or system, finances, and intel lectual and cultural aspects of college life. Since the convention, a tem porary publicity committee has been formed, and the Interna tional Relations Club has been asked to promote cultural and intellectual aspects of the col lege by inviting outstanding people to speak on campus. Organized in 1949, the NSS GA includes Appalachian, At lantic Ohristian, Catawba, Easl Carolina, Elon, Guilford, High Point, Lenoir Rhyne, and West ern Carolina colleges. So that membership will include South Carolina schools also, the state group is considering changing its name and scope to a Caro- linas Student Government As- ' sociation. As Author William Shirer Wrote It When an author puts forth such a work as William Shir- er’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, we almost immedi ately ask “What is his authori ty? Prom what position did he observe and write?” A former newscaster and re porter, Mr. Shirer covered Ger many and the Nazis from 1925 until the U,S. entered the war. The reporter was on the scene and lived through much of the history of which he has written in his latest book. His research material includ ed documents and records cap tured at the time of the de feat and fall of the Third Reich. The author consulted the Nu- remburg trial documents, and such unpublished sources as the Haider diary. The Rise aiiid Fall of the Third Reich is a history of the emergence of the National So cialism during the crisis years that followed the first world war, its seizure and consolida tion of power, its attempt to extend its sway over all Eu rope, and its ultimate defeat and destruction.’*’^ The story told is a fascinat ing one. Fascinating in that it outlines the immense Nazi Seniors Dr. John P. Daughtery, head of the Education De partment, has announced that the National Teacher’s examination vvUl be given February 10, 1963. All senior students planning: to be cer tified as teachers are expect ed to take this examination. Information and applications are available from the of fices of Dr. Ingram and Dr. Daughtery. All seniors who plan to student teach in the spring semester are urged to ob tain the necessary applica tions and return them to Dr. Daughtery at the earliest possible time. ideals, and the extent to which they were achieved. No less fas cinating are the accounts of some of the manners in which the Nazis sought to achieve their ends. National Socialism was to create everlasting world peace. Its policies and philoso phies were to be eternal. Mr. Shirer is scheduled to speak at St. Andrews Jan. 11, as part of the Concert-Lecture Series. While we would not be so facetious as to advise every one to immediately begin read ing Mr. Shirer’s work, due to its voluminous size (1143 pages), We would urge anyone interested in the phases of his tory on which it touches, to at least read a synopsis of the book, or acquaint himself with its background prior to Mr. Shirer’s engagement here. **New York Herald Tribune SAC Debate | Profitable CA Retreat Held Society Formed The first meeting of the De bate Society ifor St. Andrews College was held Dec. 11.

( By MARTHA WALSH The Christian Association Cabinet retreated to the seques tered Edwin Pate “lodge,” (in the finest sense of the word), outside Hamlet, for the week end of December 2nd and 3rd, with advisers Margaret Tufts, James Hubbard, and Robert and Helen Gustafson. The delicious fantasy of be ing in a shingled, semi-isolated, comfortably and tastefully fur nished retreat, plus the headily clear weather, plus the antics of Master Gustafson, plus the angry continual squawking of ducks (over whose nests the Worship Committee indelicate ly met), plus unbelievably good food in quantity (for which Mr. Castro was to blame), uncov ered indescribable characteris tics of some cabinet members. There was Roy Phelps, who found it extremely difficult to decide whether to get out of his sofa-bed in front of one of the two living room fireplaces head first or feet first. We learned that Cal could cook a mean cup of coffee, and that the advisers never learned to be chilly chaperones. General hilarity at times gave the stage over to business and planning sessions which woke us up to what we were doing. Many ladders were built to the sky, and some came tumbling down; but many of the ideas that were lengthily debated, and some that were spontane ously embraced, 'await action in the spring semester. Vesper programs which stu dents will conduct are to be planned; seminar or panel dis cussions of common concern are to be arranged (where such questions as What right have we Christians to send mission aries to foreign lands?’ can be discussed). There are hopes for programs on the use of mod ern music (infamous Jazz!) in the Church, modern drama and art. Other variations and innova tions are planned. Sunday night Hymn Sing will be subject to change, workshops may be ar ranged for instruction in coun seling at summer camps, or in recreational leadership, and stu dents may have chances to vis it people in nursing homes. Further suggestions for chang es or additions may be made to any cabinet member or de votional leader, who will refer them to the cabinet for discus sion and action. The Cabinet brought back valuable ideas and experiences. Among these, Robert Gustaf son’s challenge to the Christian Association and its Cabinet; that we make ourselves aware of the positive areas on cam pus in which we can make con tributions; that we become and remain open to an education tiiat will lead us to face ulti mate allegiances, and to face the meaning and purpose of life. Freshmen To Begin Project On Friday, Dec. 15, Prof. Carl Bennett introduced the freshmen to a new adventure in education. The adventure is an independent research project. A faculty committee began work on the ide(a in the sum mer and early autumn of 1961 under a mandate from the or ganizing board of the coUege. The independent research pro ject is a part of the goal set up by a panel of national edu cators — an ideal curriculum for an ideal coUege. The project will be limited to a written paper in the fresh- -nan year, but in the sopho more, junior and senior years It can be expanded above this limitation. In a meeting of the faculty, Tiembers volunteered to serve IS “research sources” for stu dents eng*aged in the project. This new duty is over and ibove the regular responsibili ties of the professors. The students are to choose Mr. Morgan Made Honorary Member Phi Beta Lambda With a devotional by presi dent Bill Clark the St. Andrews Phi Beta Lambda, national so ciety of college business ma jors, .opened its Dec. 5 meet ing. A study of the Morgan Mills was presented by Mr. Edwin Morgan, who served as presi dent for 44 years, and his son, Mr. JIames L. Morgan, who is now president. Rev. W. T. DuBose of the Church in the Pines in Laurel Hill, told the club about the life, work, and contributions of Mr. Edwin Morgan. Reverend Du Bose then introduced James L. Morgan, who made the main talk about the history and founding of the mills, showed samples of the materials manu factured, told about their per sonnel policies and selling pro grams, and then answered ques tions posed by the club mem bers. Each member was pre sented with a “souvenir” wash cloth m'ade by Morgan Mills. Mr. Edwin Morgan was pre sented a letter naming him “First Honoraiy Member of the St. Andrews Phi Beta Lambda.” Mr. Morgan expressed his ap preciation for the honor, and extended an invitation to the lub to visit his mills. Approximately 150 business majors plus several faculty members were present for the meeting. Freshmen Feelings By REBECCA CARTER their broad topic before Christ mas holidays and, working through the English Depart ment, they will begin planning the paper early in the second semester. Looking back over the past four months, we, the Fresh men Class recall in our mind’s eye the various events experi enced. Orientation week, the first C and C class, dorm meet ings, chapel, and parties crowd ed the months of our college year. We came from every crook and corner of North and South Carolina to become a part of St. Andrews Presbyterian Col lege. It was hard to leave our friends and hometowns, but we brushed away all tears and cheerfully accepted our beauti ful new home. After meeting each other, we united as a class immediately. Fresh and raring to go, as yoimg colts, we pitched in to do anything possible to help St. Andrews become famous. We nicknamed everything on campus even to the point of calling our academ ic building the “Promised Land!” School spirit soaked into our hearts at the first basketball game. Comments from the op posing teams characterized our school as most cordial. Decorating the student cen ter for Christmas became our Freshman Class project. Speak ing of Christmas, we will soon return home for the holidays. Perhaps we are a bit afraid of the changes in our personali ties. Will the old gang at home be the same? Has college, in four months, influenced our outlook and values? We hope to have grown spiritually and mentally in our weeks at St. \ndrews. As the excitement of Christmas draws nigh, our learts leap at the thought of leeing old, familiar faces. Will we return In two weeks re- 'reshed and filled with ideas for new projects? We, as the Fresh man Class, think that we shall. We challenge the entire stu dent body to return with us in the same spirit. Applications To SAC Increase As the year 1961 closes, the number of St. Andrews hope fuls for next fall has reached a total of 480— including 450 freshmen applicants and 30 transfer students. Since the first of September 4800 inquiries and applications based on daily mail and admis sion counselor’s reports have been received by the regis trar’s office. Prospective stu dents hail from as far as Cali fornia, Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and the Canal Zone. “In the future anticipate accepting 325 freshmen a year” said Dean of Admissions Rod ger W. Decker recently, “but unless another dormitory can be built by next fall, our intake will be approximately 275.” Tha first application for next fall was received March 3— 12 days before applications for this year were supposed to have been on file Honeycone Drive-In Wishes You a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR
