Reviews Life at Si. Andrews
By CHARLES QUICK, EDITOR
St. Andrews Student Associ
ation officers convened at
Pate's Lodge Saturday and
Sunday, May 4-5 and took a
close look at St. Andrews stu
dent life in both academic and
non-academic areas. The mem
bers were assigned to one of
five committees: academic mat
ters, judicial matters, executive-
legislative matters, dormitory
affairs, and an activities com
mittee. Assignment to each of
these committees was based to
an extent upon preference
which ihad been indicated by
individuals earlier last week.
The actual work was done in
these committees in workshop
sessions. There was a chairman
for each committee who direct

From the workshops proposals,
recommended changes, suggest

general sessions. There were
three such sessions, at which
the chairman of each commit

his respective committee. The
assembly then discussed each
matter presented by the chair
man; they were then either ac

made as to modifications, or

general assembly, however, did
not automatically become
“law.” Academic matters must
next go to the Faculty-Execu-

members of the St. Andrews
Student Senate to want to take
a very serious second look at
the proposal to join N.S.A.

the 1962-1963 Senate. These re
cent developments include votes
by students of Indiana Univers

to withdraw from the national
organization, and the uncover
ing of some information on
N.S.A. political policy not made
available by the proponents of
membership.
Among Senators calling for
immediate reconsideration of
the move to affiliate with. N.
S.A. are Joe Chandler, re-elect
