Blessings, from the Pope Graduation Day, May 25, will take away many St. Andrews students who have had a large part in shaping this school. THE LANCE will miss "our” seniors next year.

They de voted many hours a week work ing on THE LANCE. Their work will be missed. Next year’s staff has a hard act to follow. But we have many capable people ready to fill the roles assigned. Sara Lee and Charlie Pratt will take over the duties of associate editors. Both are excellent writers with many Imaginative Ideas. In the sports department, Mike Keech has been named to suc ceed McCrea. Keech Is very familiar with sports, and will be an asset on next year’s staff. We will have to work hard to continue the tradition of ex cellence set this year. This we accept. To Joe, Linda, and Scott, all we can say. Is thank you for your work and for the challenge you have presented us. Best wishes to you all for the future. WSAP’s‘BigGiv-Away’ Enlivens Fling Week BY DAVID BERRY “The campus Is taking us for granted”. “Dave, we need some way to let them know that WSAP Is not just for Its members, but for the entire campus”. Hearing these comments from WSAP members, the Big WSAP Three Day Spring Glv- Away was born. We started col lecting records, albums and skimping on movie passes, which are normally the only “pay” a "WSAP member re ceives. The remote unit got a change of paint from green to bright orange. We decided It was just the thing to start Spring Fling off right. So, with cardboard boxes bursting With 2600 45’s, 70^ome albums, 150 movie passes, 20 Spring Fling tickets, 20 gift certificates, posters and all the rest, totaling well over $2100 worth of prizes, and after an expensive radio, poster, wall-p a 1 n 11 n g and newspaper promotions campaign, at 5:00 on Tuesday, April 15, we were ready to go. And, we did. One contest followed another and prizes went like crazy. Our scavenger hunt Items were found In quick time, with the exception of the American Legion cannon. The cannon, too. BILL EVANS CO., INC. Printing Office Supplies Typewriter Sales & Service 126 E. Church St. Phone 276-0519 was on Its way to the school about 10:00 when the Laurin burg police, after following the cannon some 600 yards in con fusion, finally decided to stop It and make the scavengers take It back. To top Tuesday night off, WSAP had a briefer* bikini contest. Three girls came and so did 150 students to watch the actions as Claire Morgan won. At five on Wednesday, the remote Glv-Away unit cranked up again. At six the Scavenger Hunt started. At 6:15 it was all over. At 8:00, a Laurinburg policeman was arrested by WSAP in a contest. WSAP spon sored a wheelchair race with two divisions at 8:15. Charlie Pratt won the electric division; and Alan Mason won, after a false start In the other di vision, after his competitor, Jim Rothrock, took a curve too fast. The conclusion of the night was a go-go dance contest with Barbara Clagett winning. Thursday night came--wlth lots of prizes left and they all had to go, and they did. The Scavenger Hunt had “objects”. Including Dr. Moore, Dean Davidson, Dr. Doubles, Dr. Carver, Mrs. Overholser, and Mr. Davenport, who were all brought to the rpimnte unit. (Continued to page 3) Sommervilles Return To SA Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Som- merville will return to the St. Andrews Music Department this fall after advanced study at th« University of Southern Califor nia. Mr. Sommervllle, who will resume his position as di rector of the School of Music, completes work this summer for his DMA degree (doctor of musical arts). He received his B.A. and B.M. degrees from the University of Southern Califor nia. Before coming to St. Andrews originally, Mr.Sommervllle was director of music at Rose- land Presbyterian Church In Illinois and, later, a member of the Chicago Symphony chorus. Mrs. Virginia Sommervllle will return as assistant pro fessor of voice after doing gra duate work in voice beyond the Masters degree.

Miss (?) Candy Vohs, representing Mecklenburg, reigned over ten other conten ders In WSAP’s dress-up-llke- a-sexy-girl contest. The con test highlighted the third and final day of the radio station’s ‘Big Glv-Away’, and was at tended by an hysterical crowd of three hundred students, whose applause selected Vohs as winner. (Continued from page 1) draft. As one might expect, there are differences of opinion on the draft and Vietnam a- mong not only the four speakers, but all twelve men. The varying degrees of dis sent on the war range from George Ducker and Jan Bart lett who said they would pro bably go and possibly serve In a combatant role, to Pete Cook and Bill Wilson who said they would not serve at all, in any capacity. They are against the ^stem and would refuse Induc tion. The rest feel they would probably serve in the army If drafted, though as CD’s and noncombatants. Some of them, Benny Gurley being one, feel that the Vietnam War Is not morally justified but would serve as a noncombatant as op posed to five years in prison. More can be done out of pri son than In. Several of the students said they had planned to go to theolo gical school long before the question of the draft came up. David Flucke said, though, that he would have taken a year off first If it had not been for the war. Most of the twelve have or are probably soon to get their 4-D (divinity school) defer ments and so have nothing to worry about. All agree on two points. First of all, none of them are really up for fighting In Vietnam, for whatever reasons. Secondly, all the aspirants pretty well saw the church as (to coin the phrase Scott Mc Crea used) a “sleeping giant”. Some such as Tom Wood are against today’s organized church and feel It has for gotten Its mission and needs to be changed much In order to follow that mission. Most want to work with people and see definite possibilities for the church In our society. And Dan Beerman warned that the church should not be an instrument of the status quo. He feels the church can help effect neces sary social change and work with the people and act as the sometimes necessary middle man In certain affairs where a communications’ gap has arisen.

Wheeler feels the church could I be an Instrument of dialog where It recognizes differences || between peoples and acts as a link, of dialogue, between the factions. George Sherrill was brought up In the mountains and Is a “mountain people” and feels there Is a cultural gap between their society and ours He wants to work with them and help them bridge this | through the church. Dr. Alexander asked the very! relevent question In Chapel asj to whether one can be anythingL but a minister and still be il Christian. The consensus wasa| definite yes.
