Thoughts of Hart
tance Looks Limp For Fall
BY LINDA SUSONG
The outloolc is doubtful as to whether St. Andrews will have
a student-published newspaper next year. There are only two,
maybe three, underclassmen who are working on The Lance
this semester. These few cannot possibly carry the entire
load of assigning articles, reporting, writing and laying out
the paper. .
l8 Is the fault of The Lance staff, which Is composed ai-
most entirely of seniors, that there is not enough Interest
In the rest of the student IxxJy to keep The Lance alive next
fall? Is The Lance such a poor publication that other students
don’t want to have anything to do with it?
The Lance obviously does not meet the expectations of
the campus community when such papers the quality of "What s
Left” is published. Either this student body Is passing the
buck to the outspoken concerned students to do their compalln-
ing for them, or else, the St. Andrews’ student is basically
complacent and cares little to make the effort to express an
opinion If he ever has one.
The fad of student concern Is fading. Now that we have a
president and the black power campaign is at a low ebb the
campus is content to fall back Into the old pattern of letting
someone else do It.
Nothing much happens around here because nobody does
anything much to get concerned about. If you find yourself
complaining about the lack of excitement and things to do
here, you are probably about Involved as the very people
you’re complaining about.
Maybe one of the reasons The Lance Is falling Is because
there is not enough happening to write anything Interesting
about. The Lance Is only one Instrument that students could
utilize In making their wants known. There are positions
available if you care enough to get involved.
Winter Term Brings Changes
Look what has happened for the women during the winter
term. Senior women finally have extended hours at least on
the weekends, and freshmen women have had their hours ex
tended to the regular dorm closing hours.
At last the double standard Is giving way to some facets
of equality. Yet, surely the administration doesn’t think that
the women will be so thankful about the “grace” they have
shown that they will forget about the double standard which
deprives them of their equality.
Because of the deficit of funds with which we could secure
a security officer, the women should utilize their efforts
Into a working plan for next year. It has taken an entire year
for the plans laid last spring to be made even partially ef
fective. Just because the double standard for women has
begun to be recognized is no reason for the women to be so
easfly satisfied. The women of St. Andrews still nave a long
way to go In obtaining the same rights as the men, The ab
surdity in arguing why women should be "restricted” while
the men, who pay the same tutltlon and attend the same classes
as the women, now has finally been recognized. And some
progress has been made on the part of the administration
to eliminate the restrictions of the double standard.
It has been a long time coming, but finally the women of
St. Andrews are beginning to be recognized as having the
same capacity for Innate Intelligence as the men.
Admissions Adds Two
BY JOE JUNOD
It’s raining and last night’s wine still sits In the back of the
mouth at 9:30 am as thirty four St. Andrews students watt In
the lobby of the Linden Court Hote, London, for a busrlde and
tour of Oxford. Someone hands me a newscllpplng and I find
myself confronted with the new president of St. Andrews
College. The news spreads and expressions of puzzlement,
elation and outright Joy grace the Laurinburg travellers.
As the bus chums up the right hand side of the road towards
Oxford, the name Donald J. Hart is the topic of conversation
and one thinks of what he might bring and what he replaces.
His experience in the business world is good reason to
appiaude the Trustees choice. As president, his main emphasis.
Is upon building and expanding this college to Its plausible
limits. And what better choice for president and fundraiser
than an experienced educator and businessman.
Oxford remains forty miles in the horizon as we pass Eton
College, the Institution for the English aristocracy. The land
scape is misty and huge herds of sheep dot the green pasture
as the mind Jumps back to Laurinburg again.
Ansley C. Moore hands out his last diploma on May 25
and with It he closes an eight year term as the leader of St.
Andrews. With him, the tradition of the Reverend President
also ends. The Lance staff feels that this action is most
significant.
Serving God and running a college confronts a man with an
overwhelming challenge. The machinery of a college is in
tricate, as complicated as a Imslness, which it is. Ansley C.
Moore accepted the challenge and has played a major role
in the new personality that St. Andrews has adopted. Four
years ago, the Laurinburg campus spUled over with Vic
torian rules and regulations. The freedom here today is in
complete but outdistances most colleges in the state.
Donald J. Hart steps into a cutthroat job. Youth, exper
ience and an expected willingness to confront students swing
the odds in his favor.
After seeing Oxford during the day, we went to the Oxford
Playhouse for their performance of “An Enemy of The People”,
a play by Henrik Ibsen.

Scottish Cove Raided;
Now Open To Members
The sign on the bathroom
door reads “Avoid embarrass-
ment-Lock the door” but em
barrassing It was for thirty odd
students last Friday night,
January 25, as two local police
man stopped for a social call
at 12:45 a.m. at Laurlnburg’s
newest nightspot.
The Scottish Cove, located
next to the already “estab
lished” Ye Olde Worlde res
taurant, is a private member
ship club for St. Andrews stu
dents. Fred Olert, the owner,
was charged with the possession
of Illicit beverages for the pur
pose of sale. To this, the St.
Andrews Junior replies that
every bottle and can was labeledl
and that the affair was a mis
understanding that has since
been cleared with county and
city officials.
What gave rise to this club?
Along with Rusty Lester, who
is managing the club, Olert says
that the Cove Is somewhere for
students to go. He was emphatic
when he said that one doesn’t
have to drink to use the fac
ilities. He is simply trying to
create a casual atmosphere,
heretofore unknown In the area,
so students, who are members,
may play bridge, dance or what
ever.
Presently the Cove sports
ninety members and member
ships are still open at $12.50
a semester. Women member
ships are selling for $10.00.

lington.
Town and College : Q.E.D.
Joe Junod
The most significant result of the victory at the polls Sat
urday is the realization that the college and the community
do not exist as seperate bodies, but are Interlocked.
Voters went to the polls knowing that members of the St.
Andrews society played a strategic role In the presentation
of the referendum to make the county wet. From the results,
one can surmise that many persons recognized the position
of the college In Laurinburg. The teamwork of the college
group, led by Professors William Winn and Dick Prust, and
Laurinburg citizens, headed by J. C. Tyson, clearly demon
strate that such a union Is possible and that beneficial and
responsible results may occur.
County, Olert Is planning to open
again once the State ABC Board
has approved The Scottish Cove.
This will grant brown bagging
privileges to all members. If
desired.
Food orders can be placed at
the desk and the Cove Is strict
ly for members and their dates.
Out of town guests will be admit
ted for a cover charge of $1.00
when with a member.
The tentative hours of opera-
tlon are: Tues-Thurs. 5-12
p.m., Frl- 5-1 a.m.. Sat- 2-
1 a.m.. Sun - 5-12 p.m.
Olert will run the Cove
through the spring of 1970 and
plans to have a color televi
sion Installed soon. By the time
the Interior of the building is
completed, $2,000 will have
been spent. But from the gleam
in Olert’s eye, it looks like
money well spent.

rines. Coast Guard bands mar
ched with color guard and sol
diers. The display of military
power was awesome.
Among the tens of thousands
of people gathered to view the
spectacle were many of the
participants of the Counter-
Inaugural. Three lines of Na
tional Guardsmen and police
stood between them and the
parade. They attempted to plea
for peace as the new Presi
dent passed by, but symbolic
of the American government,
the President ordered his
driver to speed up and he turned
his head, ignoring the pleas for
peace.
