Opinions Asked on Bill
The recent bill on campus drinking has opened a new area oi
thought concerning individual freedom of St. Andrews students.
While the bill is still debated in our official organizations, the
recent student poll favors an abrupt change in policy concerning
drinking regulations on campus. Should this first attempt fail,
it is most probable that another attempt will follow shortly. The
primary question at hand is this, will the first formal attempt
pass or fail?
Although the bill carries the majority of students in support,
it will probably fail to pass official sanction. The legal analysis
states that a person may drink In his private home in the state
of North Carolina. On campus this would refer to the confines
of one’s own room. Of course, no where else would one be per
mitted to possess or consume open alcoholic beverages on
campus. Should such a legislative bill pass through official
hands, it would mean total cooperation from the student body.
Any offenses would undoubtedly result in dismissal of the bill,
and drinking on campus would again be an honor court offense.
While this is a secondary point in the situation, it is doubtful
that the bill will pass official consideration even from this
viewpoint.
The most outstanding argument against the bill is that
officials must consider the situation not just from the standpoint
of the members of the campus community, but also must
weigh the situation from the viewpoint of the outsiders who are
involved in the total function of the college. A college official
who does not consider the emotions of the external populus
connected with the college, the parents of the students, the
members of the town involved, donators, etc. would not be ful
filling a primary duty. For this primary reason, coupled with
the fact that St. Andrews is a church supported college, this
first attempt by the students to gain the legal consent of the
college to own and consume alcoholic beverages on campus
will be a failure, but will not be in vain.
The results of the bill could very well lie within the decisions
of the Student Life Committee, composed of students faculty
and administration. The bill has been referred to this organiza
tion from the office of President Moore. As a member of thif
committee, I invite a challenge to my claims on this issue
The Student Life Committee will convene for discussion of th(
drinking bill this Monday at 1:00 n m
Late Grades Cause Commotion
BY LINDA SUSONG
“What happened to our
grades'?” was the universal
question echoed throughout the
campus last week. The question
was justifiably asked since we
finished finals December 20 and
returned to school January 15
still in the dark about our grades
nearly a month overdue.
Despite all the complaining
and hot air, the grades came out
the day of registration and tem
pers are back to normal for
most students (and parents).
Mr, Gross, registrar, gave
valid reasons for the tardiness
of the grades. A new system
was initiated in the process of
grade distribution. As with all
new procedures, the computer
brought with its benefits novel
problems which took time to
work out.
A bout with the flu took Mr,
Gross out of the office for
nearly a week, adding to the
computer’s first time process
ing difficulties.
Add to iiic nearly two week
delay bad weather and several
late grades and the story is
complete as to why students
did not receive their grades
on time.
The grades will be due be
fore graduation and should be
out a week after graduation in
the Spring.
Mr. Gross has asked that if
anyone has found an error in
their cumulative totals to please
come to the registrar’s office
immediately to correct the mis
take.

blithely proceeds to blast
Leonie and her new lover out

form of torture conceivable.
What seems to be Morgan’s

SA Junior Spends
Semester On
Seven Seas
We who are somewhat re
luctant to slip back Into the
groove of a new semester may
welcome the chance to stop a
moment and drool over the
unusual and exciting semester
that awaits Pete Caldwell.
Pete is a member of a SA
junior class, majors in eco
nomics, and halls from Orange
dorm by way of Danville, Ken
tucky.
Mr, Caldwell’s address will
be the seven seas for four
months as he participates in a
program of study and world
travel sponsored by Chapman
College. A branch of this land
college in Orange, California,
consisting of some three hun
dred students, is scheduled to
depart on February 3, heading
for its first stop in Lima,
Peru, They will continue around
South America to Brazil, on to
Africa, enter the Mediterranean
for such exciting and glamorous
ports as Rome, Athens and
Venice; Paris and London round
out the itinerary and the sea
soned travelers will return to
New York on May 24,
It will not be all pleasure
and “abandon books” for these
lucky students, however.
Classes will be held on board
the floating college during the
approximately two weeks be
tween each port. They study
many of the same subjects that
they would on land, with ad
ditional courses in such likely
fields as oceanography.
What better way to learn?
So as Pete awaits that fabu
lous semester, we here on land
can sigh in envy as we ease
gingerly back into the well-
known routine at St. Andrews,
LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
To the Editor:
I would like to take this
opportunity to commend our
fine cheerleading squad for the
outstanding performance at oui
freshman-C.M,A, game. It is
truly gratifying to our boys out
there on the court fighting hard
for S,A, to know that our cheer
leaders are backing them 100%.
Thanks girls—but I’m sure
the freshman team would ap
preciate it more if you bother
ed to SHOW UP next time. Af
ter all, they’re only the heart
of our varsity squad,

S0d.rcli*
Work during the Winter term
may be done away from the
campus, and even in foreign
countries.
The entire college program
will be effected with the change.
The Fall and Spring terms will
consist of 13 weeks, instead of
present 15 week schedule.
Freshman and sophomores
will take C&C only in the Fall
and Spring terms. During the 4
week Winter term, each student
will be able to choose a parti
cular course in which he would
like to concentrate.
The omission of C&C during
the Winter term will be made
up the last semester of the
Senior year.
The sameplan will gofor P,E,
as in C&C. No P.E, courses
will be offered during the Win
ter term, so one P,E, course
will be added to the curriculum
to be taken in the junior or
senior year. This additional
course will be an activity course
such as bowling, tennis or golf.
The new program for fresh
man and sophomores will go into
effect next year. Adjustments
will be made for the juniors
and seniors next year. The col
lege administration is committ
ed not to penalize anyone under
the new system.
Students will take four cour
ses in the Fall and Spring
terms instead of the usual 5
courses. The student in-class
work load will be approximately
16 hours a week.
Also, the semester hours
system will be abolished. Cer
tain course requirements will
replace the required number of
semester hours for graduation.
The grading system as well as
the major requirements will
change. Q.P.R,’s will be revis
ed to fit the new requirements.
The science program will
have a more independent lab
program. The lab projects will
be based on independent study
and not on required lab class
es.
Every major division is now
in the process of listing their
Winter term course offerings.
So, when students pre-register
this Spring for the Fall term,
they will also know what courses
will be offered for the Winter
term.
Each professor has his own
perogative as to how he will
carry out his particular Winter
term course.
Freshmen and sophomore
courses, except for C&C, will
meet 3 times a week, while
junior arid senior courses will
meet 4 times a week.
The graduation requirements
for the B,A. degree under the
4-1-4 calendar require 32 re
gular term courses plus 4 Win
ter term courses plus the P,E,
