OCT n,; Little InterBst In Democratic Club ^ nation. He v. Uniqueness in Faculty Alter one has been a student at St. Andrews lor a couple of years or more, he may recog nize a uniqueness In the stu- dent-laculty relationships here. The faculty of this campus has an open mind to any difficulty In which a student may find him self. Our faculty seems to savor on their rapport with the stu dents. Student difficulties is just one way a St. Andrews scholar may stumble onto this happy realization that his professor cares. The professors are not only Interested in those students as people. We suppose that our student-faculty harmony is a benefit of our small school environment, but I can’t help but thlnli that the professors have even more to do with it. There are lew, if any, St. An drews professors who enjoy the image of a classroom ty rant. Most of our faculty Is only too happy to help a stu dent, or to become his frlend- because this is an added bene fit of his profession - he en joys his students. Several representlve pro fessors who attended a recent LD.C. meeting, offered to come up to any suite for an Informed personal visit, if he were in vited, These people actually are willing to come to our side of the campus and walk up to our suites just to get to know us—out of the classroom on a more personal level. Not a week goes by that some professor doesn’t Invite stu dents into his home for a get- together or a meal with his family. At night many profes sors come to their offices and make themselves available to students for conferences or just talking. Our profs are only too eager to assist those hopefuls apply ing for admission into graduate schools. Even the adminis tration goes beyond its normal duty. The administrative com mittees now have students to sit in at their meetings. There is somethlngvery special and beautiful within the structured courses and con crete buildings of this campus. The professors of St. Andrews care about their students, not only in their academic pursuits. BILL EVANS CO., INC. Printing Office Supplies Typewriter Sales & Service 126 E.

Andrews Democrats was f^ from a success. Last Moi^ay night. State Senator Volt Gil more, the Democratic congres sional candidate from this dis trict, came to St. Andrews to help organize our organization. Although a number of faculty members were present, very few students seemed interested. There is a definite function of a Democratic club, although very few people are motivated by this realization. If there were concern, the club would serve primarily to acquaint students with political trends, and to engender within them an Intel- Vaughn On Budget Problems (Continued from page 1) On this rather ominous note, 1 thanked Mr. Vaughn for the interview and took my leave. From what Mr. Vaughn said, three things may be concluded. First, the financial troubles of the student agencies can be tracked back to two direct ori gins. One, the miscalulatlon of the Student Life Committee in the spring of 1968 and two, the failure of the Business Office and student government to up date the spending priorities within the general service fee monies. Second, the entire school Is suffering an economic drought--no immediate help can be expected by the student a- gencies. And third, the student body must actively support the student agencies in their cam paign to gain a larger per centage of the general service fee in the future. While Mr. Vaughn argues that the In stitution is expanding on all fronts, he in actuality, is less concerned about the student a- gencies than other larger pro grams. Ugent sense of political res ponsibility. It would prepare students to vote through an ex posure to the two, or now three sides of the pelltical spectrum by presenting a rational out look on national politics. Stu dents should accept their role In politics and the responsibi lity involved by taking a stand In these events. U they are completely indifferent, their neutrality should be based on an evaluation of the candidates. This evaluation should not be founded on popular opinion, but on factual knowledge of their strengths, and weaknesses. Secondly, the club was or ganized to campaign for the Democratic nominees. The Democratic Coalition on cam pus supposedly supports the Democratic party, yet the mem bers feel that they cannot ac cept the Humphrey-Muskle ticket. In my mind, this defeats the purpose of the organiza tion. A Democratic club should support any representative of their party. When Senator Gilmore was asked why there was so much apathy in the Democratic Party, he found fault with this as sumption, He replied that the Party was most certainly very energetic, and that In schools, there was an equal. If not more enthusiastic Democratic incli nation. He remarked, however that St. Andrews, inhi* ledge, wasoneofthsfewschool', with such apathy, if this is “ accurate indictment, then Z should do something tochaat it. In our meeting, references were made to the small nun ber of supporters. OneotGu! more’s representatives encouraged us with Kennedj's famous quotation that a march of a thousand miles begins win a single step. This statement has little application to us for this organization could hardiv attempt to recast the dispo. sltion of the entire campus WTiether students can haveai affect on politics is question, able, but as future voters and leaders, we could make slg. nlflcant contributions.
