47% Profit Made by College
Mr. Nixon On The Line
Mr. Humphrey dismissed the holocaust of hlcago,
gathered to his side a shattered Democratic Party and
came very near to programming Into American politics
an Instant replay of the Dewey-Tniman encounter of 1948.
The margin of victory In the popular vote was minute—
43.7% for Mr. Nixon, compared to 43.3% for Mr. Hum
phrey. The figures reveal the closest three way contest
since Woodrow Wilson ascended to the top spot In 1912.
The electoral college results spell out a clearer triumph
for Mr. Nixon. 302 for the winner and 191 for the loser.
The show-stopper In the examination of the state pre
ferences Is Mr. Nixon’s victories in the Southern and
border states. Had nine states in this area swung to Mr.
Humphrey it would have given the Vice President the
election. Evidently, Mr. Nixon’s choice of Spiro Agnew and
support of Strom Thrummond rings of Johnsonian politics,
already proven highly successful by the man that has de
fined what politics really means in this century.
Mr. Nixon Is number 37. He has employment for the
next four years. But where will Mr. Humphrey seek a Job
after January 20? The Vice-President’s experience and
talent are obvious, as Is appeal to the American public.
Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare? An outside
chance but an Intelligent move If Mr. Nixon makes It.
A Democrat might also provide for a lively Cabinet.
But what about the next forty eight months? Mr. Nixon
will not stray from the central Aslan policy, since this
has traditionally been a bl-partlsan attitude that has not
brought the Intense dilemma we now face In Southeast
Asia.
Mr. Nixon should outline steps to end the war In Vietnam
as soon as he is sworn In. One question bothering many
people is the President elect’s desire to Increase the
nuclear stockpile of America. Mr. Nixon believes that such
action would stimulate definite agreements lessening the
stockpiles of the major countries.
The direction of Mr. Nixon’s concern over the prablem
of the black population In the ghetto has been somewhat
nebulous. Optimists are hoping for the creation of a
Cabinet seat dealing with the urban problems to release
the Secretary of State from this tremendous pressure.
Jani ary 20 and the days following will be instrumental
to the success of Mr. Nixon’s Presidency. A well-defined
platform of action will help to Insure four action years,
leaving the eight stagnant years of the last Republican
President to the history books.

What Happened To Senior
Women’s Hours
BY LINDA SUSONG
What has happened to the new senior womens’ hours? Last
spring a bill was passed which stated that "senior women and
women students 21 years of age will be under an extended hour
situation.”
Senior women and women students 21 years of age are still
restricted to the same hours regulations which govern under
classmen. It was mutually agreed at the close of the spring
semester that senior women would abide by the same rules as
the underclassmen until a ‘ 'practical method for residence hall
security could be Implemented.”
Summer has long since passed, and we have reached the half
way mark In the fall semester; and still no progress has been
made In procuring the security enabling senior women to have
their rights.
The student assigned to the task of working out a feasible
system of security has graduated and Is now busy with grauate
school and marriage plans.
l.D.C. Is In an Impasse. The Council has reached Its extent
In trying to Insure action from the Dean’s office.
Why hasn’t any progress been made In solving the problem
for senior women? One definite reason Is the lack of respon
sibility which has been demonstrated by those “women” who
have not been able to handle maturely the rules as we have
them now. Those who are In a position to see that security
for the dorms could be maintained have probably been so
dlsallusloned with those flagrant vlolaters, that the thought
of giving these students more responsibility seems ridiculous.
It would seem that those senior women who sincerely want
this freedom of extended hours would understand the necessity
for the few rules that operate In the dorms now—for their own
protection.
Until we can prove ourselves “responsible”, we cannot hope
for any more liberal, self-governing situations.

Voter Profile
(Continued from Page 1)
The two young men dis
covered that the typical Wallace
voter in Scotland County was
a registered democrat, was
either Baptist or Presbyterian,
was a blue collar worker and
somewhere between the ages of
31 and 50.
Of the registered Democrats,
sixty-four voted for Humphrey,
while 34 cast their ballot for
Nixon, and 33 for Wallace. This
is directly compared to 1964
when the same group queried
east 88 votes for Johnson and
23 for Goldwater.
A,mong those under 30 that
were questioned, 25 voted
Democratic, 17 voted Republi
can and 15 voted American In-
depndent. Of these, 43 cast
ballots for Bob Scott for Gover
nor of North Carolina compared
to only 14 for Jim Gardner.
Hock Probes Snack Bar Operation
Draft Counseling
Center Established
Dear Editor:
1 am concerned about the
manner In which the St. An
drews Student Center Snack Bar
is being operated. 1 feel that
the prices are quite high. In
stead of being a service to
the students, it has oecome
a money making operation to
help finance the maintenence of
the entire building. I do not
think that this should be the
function of a school snack bar.
It should cater tn the student
who has a limited allowance.
I personally allocate a large
portion of my spending money
to food. This is partly due to
the mediocre quality of the
meals served in the cafeteria.
There are many others who
also eat breakfast, limch or
dinner In the snack bar for
various reasons.
I have done a comparative
study in order to estimate the
percentage of profit that is
made by the snack bar. 1 came
up with some interesting Infor
mation. I chose four basic food
stuffs which comprise the aver
age breakfast sold. I then found
the wholesale prices of these
goods from Mr. John Hulka and
compared them with the prices
of the same food In the same
quantities cooked and served
at the snack bar.
(See boxed Insert)
I realize that one must take
into consideration other factors
such as wages, gas and elec
trical expenses and mainten
ence on the room which houses
the snack bar. But the differ-^
ence between total expenditures-
respond dramatically to drug
treatment. So the chemistry of
brain processes has become
very Important”
Beginning with a set of de
finitions flashed on the over
head projector, Massey covered
the history of the use of drugs
from man’s chewing plants to
planned systematic chemo
therapy. His discussion of the
chemical aspects of drugs was
aimed at the science students
and professors and was lost on
the rest of the audience.
“The future of chemotherapy
is promising”, said Massey.
Because chemicals are cap
able of Inducing mental illness
it Is hoped they will also be
capale of curing It. Research
shows that abnormal behavior Is
certainly chemically curable.
Future studies in brain chemis
try, brain function, mental re
tardation, effects of diet, etc.
will bring unimaginable break
throughs in mental health.
and net sales should still be
substantial. Just for the sake
of argument, assume that one
employee works one hour, cooks
only 12 eggs served with 24
pieces of pre-cooked bacon,
draws 13.2 cups of milk and
toasts 34 pieces of bread. An
efficient short order cook can
perform at a much faster rate,
granted, but assume he or she
does not. Also assume that the
salary is $1.65 an hour which
Is the exception, not the rule
concerning snack bar workers
at this and other educational
Institutions. And finally assume
that the gas and electrical bills
run to $1.00 an hour. Combin
ing these figures for one year’s
operation, the total cost would
run close to $4,000.
Under the previously as
sumed circumstances, the

adding this figure to the cost

Next we subtract total ex

and arrive at net profit which
is $2.61 or about 47% profit.
I admit that there are de
tails concerning operating cost
that have most likely been left
out. That is why I exaggerated
the wage rate, the expenses
and the maintenence costs. Let
me make it clear that this was
not an attempt to find the exact
percentage of profit. My ex

strate that a profit was being
made and appeared to be quite
large. At this point I feel It
is necessary to ask the follow
ing questions directly to the
administration.
1. Granted, a representative
of the Business Office has told
me that the profit In the snack
bar helps maintain the entire
student center building; but is
it the student’s obligation after
paying $2,000-$2,500 tuition for
the year?
2. Is not maintenence in
cluded in the tuition, and if
not, shouldn’t it be?
3. Granted, the school is
within its legal bounds to ope
rate in this manner, but is it
fair to the students who are

There are national agencies

You can find answers to your

Editor Finds Faculty At Fault
From Reader’s Digest
In attacking college adminis
trations are campus rebels hit
ting the wrong targets?
In the view of distinguished
editor John Fischer, the answer
is yes. He blames faculty -
a deeply entrenched “profes-
sorlat” - rather than college
administration for the death of
liberal education in this
country. And he suggests that
campus rebellions are happen
ing because llberal-arts stu
dents are Just beginning to
realize that they’ve been had —
that they are the victims of a
20-year-long academic revolu
tion that has benefltted faculty
members, but none else.
In a November Reader’s Di
gest article (Condensed from
Harper’s) Fischer traces that
revolution from the end of World
War II, “when the demand for
higher education began to grow
with explosive speed.”
University teachers - the only
ones who could meet the de
mand - changed virtually over
night from “humble pedagogues
to the sole purveyors of a
scarce and precious com
modity.”

cernlng “the misfortune of the
surroundings” In the theaters.
Addressing their November 8
letter “to the management of
the Center and Gibson Theaters
and the community of Laurin
burg,” the co-eds wrote out of
a real concern for not only the
St. Andrew students but for the
entire Laurinburg community.
The criticisms In the letter
which appeared in theExchange
were based on the recent show
ing of “The Heart Is A Lonely
Hunter”. Miss Hoffman and
Miss Tucker wrote “that many
people (In the theater) who
found it (the movie) so amusing
were the very ones whose Ig
norance and hypocrisy the char
acters portrayed.
The concern of the co-eds was
not In vain. The manager of the
theaters was also found to be
concerned. Mr. Riggs asked to
talk with the young ladles from
the college about the letter they
had written. Not only did the
manager talk with the co-eds,
but also the district manager
of the chain In which the Gibson
and Center theaters are a part.
Both men expressed a con
cern for the circumstances In
which citizens are forced to at
tend movies In Laurinburg.
Miss Hoffman and Miss Tucker
vocally expressed their com
plaints. Their suggestions were
considered and Mr. Riggs has
promised to “do something
about it”. The problem of noise
and distracting remarks could
greatly be reduced If an adult
were hired whose Job would be to
Insure quiet while the movies
are showing.
Miss Tucker’s and Miss Hoff
man’s actions represents the
concern a large number of col
lege students feel for the com
munity In which we, too, are a
part. Such constructive action
is representative of the co
operation of the townspeople and
the college students to better
Laurinburg and help the com
munity to be worthy of the title
of an “All America n City”.
