•weeks ago the bill giving Senior

by the Student Life Committee.
The bill then went back to the
Senate for study and then it was
sent again to Sfcdent Life where
it was passed becoming effective
February 20,
At present Gill Rock has in
troduced a bill to Include Under
classmen girls. The Junior girls
would have 5 late Saturday night
permissions per semester, the
Sophomore girls four, and the
Freshman girls 3. The Senate
Welfare Committee is now con
sidering this bill and positive
action is expected.
In other business the Senate
passed a resolution by acclama

rolina General Assembly to re
peal or amend law 1395, the Gag
Law. The Senate further has re
quested the Faculty Executive
Committee to follow them in this

rolina General Assembly.
At the last Senate meeting an
article that aHJeared in The
Laurinburg Exchange was read
concernii^ the St. Andrews
Knights basketball Teams per
formance at the Dixie Confer
ence. The Senate felt that this
article was detrimental to, not
only one particular person, but
to the entire Student Body. The
Senate in an 18-2 vote passed
a resolution instructing the Sen
ate Secretary to write a letter
to the author of the article ex
pressing the Senate’s deep dis
approval of said article. A reso
lution was introduced also to
send a letter to the Faculty
Executive Board, but it was de

Highland Players
Will Present Play
The Highland Players of St.
Andrews are hard at work pre
paring costumes for their third
production this year, “Bieder-
mann and the Fire Bugs.”
In order to give all interested
and talented students the oppor
tunity to participate, the design
and execution of the production
is being carried out in separate
phases. The designing of cos
tumes is being done by Phyllis
Collins. Her job consists of cor
relating the costumes so that
they may best exemplify the
image of the characters. She
must also take into consideration
the colors and textures of the
materials to be used in the pro
duction. Minute details such as
the color of socks and hose, the
use of hairpieces and hats, are
also part of the job of the cos
tume designer.
Complementing the color
schemes of the set, the costumes
aid in carrying out the overall
theme of the play. Green-blue
combinations will dominate, and
altiiough these colors are con
sidered “cool,” they can ef
fectively be worked into the ex
aggerated mood set forth by this
play. There is also a noticeable
exaggeration of the characters
presented in “Biedermaim.”
This technique is utilized to ac
centuate the satire on modern
society.
Although the costumes are a
subordinate element in the pro
duction, they convey to the au
dience an external image of the
characters. An example would
be the costumes worn by Satan.
While on earth, he is dressed
in black tie and tails, which con
veys the ironic qualities of dig
nity and awe.
ffelen Gregory is heading up the
crew which is assembling the
costumes.
School Constitution
Receives Revision
Solari, Smylie
Present Dialogue
Father James K. Solari, chair
man of the department of theology
at Belmont-Abbey College, Char
lotte, N.C., and Dr. James H.
Smylie, associate professor of
Church fflstory, Union Theologi
cal Seminary, Richmond, Vir
ginia, presented a Protestant-
Catholic dialogue on campus re
cently. Their talks to St. Andrews
students included a variety of
subjects but concentrated on the
topic of differences in the Pro
testant and Catholic faiths. This
dialogue by two distinguished
representatives of the major de
nominations in the United States
was part of World Wide Eccu-
menical Week.
Father Solari in his last dis
cussion with Dr. Smylie remark
ed that even though there are
differences between the two be-

Clanahan prepare costumes
and positions in “Beidermann
and the Firebug.”
under Christ." Both men ex
pressed their thanks to the stu
dents and faculty of St. Andrews
for giving them such a warm
welcome. Father Solari re
marked that it was indeed an
experience for him to come for
as little as forty years ago a
Catholic Priest on a Protestant
campus would have been un
thinkable. He stated that even
though Catholics compare the
two hundred beliefs of the Pro
testant faith to Joseph's coat of
many colors, he sees some rea
son why the Protestant would be
confused also when looking at the
Catholic faith.
Dr. Smylie stated that though
there were definite breaks be
tween the two denominations that
definite strides have been made
in the last few years toward bet
ter understanding of the different
beliefs in the church.
Freshmen Begin
Talent Show
Guitars and batons, dancers and
actors, plus just plain fun, de
scribes the freshman Talent Show
to be held Saturday, February 27
in the cafeteria at 8:00 p.m. A
dance will be held after the show
until 11:45 p.m., so everyone
plan to stay for a full night of
fun with the freshman class as
your hosts.
Doctor Bullock will be the M.C.
for the event, and will keep a
running comedy dialogue going
throughout the show revealing
his true inner self never before
exhibited in the classroom (thank
goodness). Coach OUis, with his
usual fortitude and courage, vol
unteered after several phone
calls, to scrape up some other
members of the faculty with in
testinal fortitude as judges for
the gala event.
Of course, as everyone knows,
the freshman class is unique on
campus. It has talent. This talent
, will be displayed, all of it that
The Constitutional Committee
composed of Sarah Yancey, Paul
Grubbs, Tommy Beason, Frances
Bounous, Gill Rock, and Bob
Zeh has finished revising the
St. Andrews Student Government
Constitution. There have been
significant changes in all three
branches, the legislative, judicial
and executive branches.
In the Legislative branch of
the government, a unicameral
system with the Senate as the
only house was decided upon,
A bill that is signed by the
Senate and the President of the
Student Government Association
would go to the President of the
college. If the President of the
Student Government Association
fails to sign the bill, it then goes
back to the Senate. If, however,
the Senate again passes the bill
by a 2/3 majority, it may go
straight to the President of the
college.
In the Judicial branch a student
judiciary board will handle all
cases of honor code offenses,
and those specified in the college
handbook, A Student-Faculty Ap
pellate board will interpret the
Constitution and must hear all
judiciary cases appealed to it.
In the executive branch the
President of the Student Govern
ment has the veto power, TTie
Cabinet serves as advisors to
the President to co-ordinate
campus activities. The Student
Life will be an advisory board
to the Dean of Students^
The Constitution now goes to
the Rules Committee of the Sen
ate, then to the Senate floor,
and finally to the Student Body
where a majority vote must take
place.
The Committee HOPES that
these final steps will take place
before the Spring Elections.
mm
we can show, this Saturday night
at the phenomenal low price of
50f (if you are unlucky enough
to have no one there to hold
your hand), or 75? (if your hand-
holder is present). As everyone
knows, the freshman class ex
hibits the true spirit of giving
for the funds collected from this
event will be used to sponsor
ANOTHER freshman event in the
spring.
So . . . bring a blanket - dance
after.
