Ferrell, Walker, Wilson Meet In Elections ;
Klopman, Gaddis Compete For Att’y General
By Margaret Offerdlnger
Speaking out on a variety of
issues, the present candidates
(or Student Association offices
gave candid opinions in recent
interviews.
The three candidates for
President of the Student As
sociation—Mike Ferrell, Rick
Walker, and Julia Wilson--res
ponded to the question, “Which
sliould come first for student
government: what is best for the
students or what is best for the
whole college?” Mr. Ferrell
stated that student government
sliould emphasize what is best
(or the entire college because
this Is not necessarily In con
flict with what Is best for the
students.
Miss Wilson held a different
viewpoint when she stated that
the individual should be con
sidered first. Miss Wilson
added that the good of the in
stitution should also be con
sidered, but the individual Is
placed first.
Mr. Walker felt that the focus
should not be on the students
separately, but the students
working with professors and ad
ministrators on committees and
so forth. In this way the basic
concern of all will be the col
lege. Also, the students will see
that they are taking part in the
evolution of the college.
In response to the question,
“Do you think all efforts should
be exerted to secure a healthy
percentage of various socio
economic representatives on
this campus?” Ferrell stated
that we must stop this “token”
representation and secure such
a “healthy” percentage in or

der to have effective student
life for all. He added that St.
Andrews has made many at
tempts to recruit people from
different socio-economic back
grounds, but they have not “ex
hausted all avenues”.
Mr. Walker expressed the
same opinion and added that he
did not think professors would
want to stay here if all the stu
dents are upper-middle-class
or from a select group. Miss
Wilson specified that it has al
ready been proven that more
blacks are needed on our cam
pus in order for them to have
a voice or to form a society.
Candidates for vice-presi
dent of the Student Association-
Mac Cj-osswell and Chris
Heppe--were asked "What is
the first issue you feel should
be dealt with in the new office
of vice-president?” Mr. Cross
well felt that the student govern
ment should start working for
reconstruction of the entire col
lege government; that is, stu
dents, faculty, and administra
tion working together. Ground
work for such a program can
start with official action from
the Senate.
Mr. Heppe felt that the first
issue should be the black issue
on the St. Andrews campus and
in the community. As a second
issue, Mr. Heppe mentioned
drugs and stated that the ad-
rpinlstration should work
closely with students concern
ing drugs Instead of searching
students’ rooms at will.
Sandra Gaddis and Pete Klop-
man, candidates for Attorney
General, discussed the issue of
drinking on the St. Andrews
campus. In commenting on
where student government
should move now, Miss Gaddis
felt that we should wait for
the Code of Responsibility Com
mittee to make public Its de
cisions. If these decisions meet
with the approval of students
then we should continue in that
direction,
Mr. Klopman felt that drink
ing should be permitted on cam
pus within the bounds of civil
law. He also stated that St.
Andrews should not be only con
cerned with'education across
the lake, but education in social
areas also. As for treatment
of a judicial case of abuse of
present drinking regulations,
Mr. Klopman felt that it de
pended upon the situation.
The Student Christian Coun
cil has three candidates seeking
the office of president--Beth
Bryant, Banks Garrison, and
Marianna Hardison. They were

Mike Ferrell Is the man best

years and is presently serving
as President of that body.
Mac Crosswell, a sophomore,

best prepared to deal with the
new Senate/IDC. Croswell’s
level head and. critical mind
are the qualities most important
in heading the IDC/Senate. He
served as a senator from
Mecklenburg this year.
Pete Klopman, now chairman
of the student judiciary board

judicious decisions are the
strong points that qualify him
for the position of attorney gen
