the general service tee.

the Senate Budget Committee,
the Cabinet, and the Student

Program Set
For Next Year

As a member of the Southern
Association of Colleges and
Schools, St. Andrews, in the
coming year, will engage in a
program of “comprehensive
self-study”, to be evaluated by
a '’isitingcommittee in the 1969-
1970 academic year. The Self-
Study Program, undertaken by
® college at the end of each
Jen-year period, is essential to
the Southern Association as a
Weans of reaffirming accredi-
«tton. It is valuable to the
college itself, in that it per-
mlts a reexamination of pur-

The Democratic Coalition in
Scotland County, headed by St.
Andrews senior Bill Wilson,
sponsors this drive as part of
Its continuing efforts to stress
pertinent local issues in the
community. Comprised of Mc
Carthy, Kennedy and McGevem
forces, it maintains that
“democracy can be restored
only at the grass roots, and
since it cannot conscientiously
support any national candidate
tor President, it is primarily
interested in public referen-
dums, such as the bond issue”.
As the school bond issue
stands, it will seek 1 million
dollars to construct an exten
sion to Scotland High School.
This new addition will allow
consolidation of the various high
schools in the area. Not only
will this play comply with
Federal integration standards,
but it will also be economically
and organizationally superior to
the present system of dividing
funds between the various
schools.
Bill Wilson said the drive was
generally successful, consider
ing the limited participation.
But he was much impressed
with the receptiveness of the
people he contacted, and en
couraged by the enthusiasm of
his campaigners. Anyone In
terested in joining this drive,

Street, Laurinburg, 276-7557.

“The Senate refused to con
sider the budget,” said Mike
Ferrell, Student Association
Vice President last night fol
lowing a Cabinet meeting. “The
Senate is requesting a break
down of the generalservlce
fee,” he continued, “no one
seems to know exactly what per
centage of the general service
fee is allocated for the Student
Association”.
“Part of the problem stems
from the Inclusion of publica
tions under the Student As
sociation budget,” said Todd
Davis, Student Association
Treasurer, who, along with sev
eral other Cabinet members
had lingered in the Student As
sociation office after the meet
ing to discuss the problem at
hand.
' ‘Last spring the Student Life
Committee approved and en
dorsed separate budgets. Pub
lications would deal directly
with the business office for its
money, and the Student Associa
tion money would be completely
separate and under the control
of the Senate,” Davis stated.
“This would have given the
Student Association a total of
approximately $15,525.00 Out
of this would come the money
for the Student Christian Coun
cil, the Student Center Board,
the Cabinet—in short, all of
the Student Association organi
zations. The Lance, The Cairn
and the Lamp and Shield would
not draw from this money,”
he continued.
The amount that has been al-
loted to the Student Association
this year was found by the Senate
to be insufficient to support
both student government and
student publications. The Sen
ate, according to Ferrell, would
have no constitutional means tor
appropriating money tor pub
lications, even It there were
enough money to finance both.
“The Senators are concerned
about where the fees go,” ex
plained Ferrell. “Especially
they are concerned with who de
cides where the money is to be
spent. The Senate, therefore is

An Open Letter
I Lamp & Shield Editor Speaks on Budget |
Dear Editor:
There shall not be a yearbook this year.
The *69 “Lamp And Shield*’ - the has been -
is bankrupt and therefore financially nox-
existent.
How? Why? Is this final? Let’s look at this
MOST CRUCIAL dilemma facing this sup
posedly most radical yearbook.
Last Spring the Editor and the Business
Manager were beseached to render a proposed
financial budget for the ’69 “Lamp And
Shield” (reprinted In full below) to the Stu
dent Life Committee. This was done and the
budgetary allocations discussed in full; 1)
the rise In paper costs, 2) union pay increases
at the publishers, 3) lengthening the contract
page allocations to 260 pages when 200 was
the contract amount in the past and the past
two yearbooks have run 240 and 244 pages
in length, and 4) the enlargement of and
possibly the attainment of a total color in
troduction. On the above grounds we requested
the Student Life Committee to grant us a
total allocation of $10 per student from the
Student Activity Fee. At that meeting our
budget was seen as being adequate and re
ferred to the Business Office for final ap
proval.
The next week a contract, totalling $7,800
was granted KEYS Publishing Company of
Greenville. (This total is $800 below the
amount we requested so as to GUARANTEE
a TOTAL color intro.)
