President Reflects On Past
Moore Exemplifies Future Faith
BY LINDA SUSONG
Dr. Ansley C. Moore, out
going President of St. Andrews,
reflects the kind of deep per
sonal faith on which St, Andrews
was founded. “The Synod of
North Carolina dreamed of es
tablishing a quality college with
a distinctly Christian theme
when St. Andrews was in the
planning stage,” stated Presi
dent Moore on Tuesday morn
ing, “and this is what we now
have”.
It is the dream of the N.C.
Synod that President Moore has
carried out during his years of
being President of the College.
"We got the opinions from the
best qualified educators In the
country to help us make plans
for establishing St. Andrews.
Students from the merging col
leges of Flora Macdonald and
Presbyterian Junior College
and Peace College met with us
for long hours to discuss what
kind of college they would like
to attend if they could begain
again. Even the architecture
represents the faith in the fu
ture which the curriculum re
flects”.
Dr. Moore emphasized that
St. Andrews was established
by the church to reflect the
Christian commitment which is
taught in c.RjC, “If St. Andrews
pulls away from the church, it
will loose large support and will
stray from the founder’s
dreams,” Dr. Moore said when
questioned about the future of
St. Andrews as a private col
lege.
When asked about his feelings
on the leftest movement among
students. Dr. Moore responded.
“I am in sympathy with those
students who offer constructive
criticism, and I believe In giving
responsibility to responsible
people.” But he is also dis
turbed about the failure of the
people who are unable to cope
with their new freedom. “How
much freedom a student Is able
to handle is not an easily deter
mined decision”. Dr. Moore
argued that the quality of stu
dent St. Andrews Is now ad
mitting is much better able to
cope with personal responsi
bility and academic demands
than previous incoming fresh
man.
“Students are impatient with
the Administration in deciding
policies”. Dr. Moore explained
when asked about how he felt
about student representation on
such committees' as the fac
ulty-executive and Admissions.
"The Administration sees a
different picture from the top
than the student sees from his
room,” explained Dr. Moore.
“But I have always been open
to every opinion the students
offered.” Dr. Moore continued
to say that “this generation of
students is much better pre
pared and more knowledgeable
than any other, but I question
the wisdom of these students.”
“The test of students'sincerity
will be their attitude five years
from now,” he said,

An eclectic myriad of crea
tive productivity spotlights Ihe
1969 Contemporary Arts Festi

drews campus.
The Festival opened last night
with the premiere of Director
Arthur McDonald’s texturedin-
terpretatlon of “Hamlet”, and
will continue for thirteen days.
McDonald commented that the
Festival Is aimed at student
Involvement because of ‘ the
fact that we have so many
students who are able to do
quality work. Their creative
abilities are clearly evident In
art, poetry, sculpture, dance
and acting,
“This Is the third of such
affairs on the campus, and stu
dent work and Involvement
penetrates this Festival far
more than the previous two”.
Following the final perfor
mance of “Hamlet” Saturday

As most students who 'ust
become Involved In student
government, Wilburn Hayden
and Cheryl Holt, two of the first
black students to play a signi
ficant part In student govern
ment, are still feeling out ttelr
roles as members of this group.
They approach student gove n-
ment unsure of its purposes,its
power, and its influence. Eich
still sees his responsibility as
an individual who has defiWte
broad goals in mind, but is not
sure whether student govern
ment has the structure to ful
fill their personal goals.
Wilburn waj^t.s g-?t
IDC-Senate in order to see
exactly what power exists with
in, and use It effectively. He
has no specific goals, but he
wants to work for more com
munication between all factions
of the St. Andrews community,
blacks and whites, students and
faculty, radicals and conser
vatives.
“There is no meanlngftxl
communication between these
groups, and what there is, is
rumor”. As an example of the
rumor system, Wilburn men
tioned that there were no In
tentions for an all black suite
In Orange next year. In fact, he
disagreed with having all black
suites because of the poor re
action that black dorms have
had in other colleges. He does
not want to create any bar
riers to communication if at
all possible.
Wilburn feels that Orange
Dorm is well qualified to begin
meaningful communication be
cause it is a melting pot of peo
ple and ideas on campus. He
would begin in Orange to help
people understand themselves
as a unit there, by means of
forums, dorm meetings, de
bates, etc. He will help plan
social events around the dorm
to bring it closer together.
From this base, he will expand
this concept of communication
to the entire campus.
In addition to his activities
on campus, Wilburn also plans
to continue his work In the
black communities in this area.
This year he feels that there
were too many things going on
at once, e.q,, tutoring in Laurel
Hill, Upward Bound, and
recreation programs, that
blacks would do better to con
centrate their efforts and work
towards blacks tutoring blacks
to teach blacKs,
Cheryl Holt also expresses
an Interest in student govern
ment and wants to become in
volved, Again it is a personal
interest In how and if student
government works, and in the
desire to make it better through
her participation. Judiciary
Board was one means to this
end. She realizes the respon
sibility that the Job entails,
enough so that she knows she
needs more experience.
She feels her role as a black
person in student government
Is one of beginning communi
cation between the different
groups represented on cam
pus. Just as Wilburn, she wants
to provide the means for this
communication. An example of
the method she would use Is
one which the Black Cats u-
tllized to unify the blacks on
campus.
The black cats sat down with
the black students and listened
to their differences of opinion,
mediating and moderating be
tween then. Once the dif
ferent points of view were es
tablished, then they could work
more closely with each other
knowing how each felt, (A mean
ingful communication between
faculty and student would be of
Immeasurable value, especially
on the faculty executive com
mittee).
As a member of the Judiciary
Board. Cheryl Holt hopes that
the honor code acts as a guide
to the actions of the individual
In the community, and she wants
to strengthen it by means of stu
dent Interest. Judiciary Board
cannot do It alone though.
There is nothing unusual In
what each says about student
government; in fact It Is trivial
unless you realize that they both
have the Inherent capability of
getting things that they want
done. This Is what wUl be un
usual.
program. They open with two
Renaissance pieces and follow
with an ‘a capella’ Interpreta
tion of “The Reproaches”.
Lamb commented that this
year, for the first time, the
sacred music has been balanced
with the secular.
Whether It Is sacred or secu
lar, the highlight of the choral
program should prove to be the
student created “Visionof W.B.
Yeats,” John Lawson Inked the
poetry while Chuck White added
the musical arrangements.
The piece runs for seven min
utes and Is divided into three
sections: “Olympia”, "Cal
vary”, and “Eden”. Taken di
rectly from Yeats’ work “Vi
sion”, the periods correspond
to the three 2,000-year cycles
of humanity that the famed
Irish poet developed.
Lawson and White describe
their piece as ‘a capella’ choral,
atonal, and a Juxtaposition of
rhythyms and chords.
The sole Item listed for Tues
day, May 6, is the showing of
the French film “Last Year At
Marlenbad”, Directed by Alain
Resnais, this “mosaic oftlme”
was tagged by one French critic
as an experience of the total
cinema. “The film dismantles
and reassembles the chronolo
gical continuity of events so
that the effect Is that of ex
periencing the story in every
aspect simultaneously”. It will
be screened at 8 p.m. in the
LAA,
Wednesday’s slate encoun
ters a presentation of modern
dance under the direction of
Miss Jo Ann Williams at 8p,m.
in the LAA. Following this,
Mary Key, a senior Theatre ma
jor, will present “TsUra”, an
liiienl in conteiiipuritry
theatre.
Key, now starring as
Gertrude In “Hamlet”, de
scribes “Tsltra” as a futuris
tic approach to the theatre.
“It Is a dance drama, handled
In a symbolic free form with
little or no dialogue. Essentially
it is an allegory of a religious
quest.” The director hopes that
the use of mixed media (pro
jection, music and strobe light
ing) will accentuate the futuris
tic concept.
The players in “Tsltra” are
Nancy Young, Sara Bell, Dawn
Taylor and Gayle Baldwin.
Examples of student
creativity reach their peak on
Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Thirteen student writers will
read their work Thursday night
in the Vardell Building. Read
ing are Jack Liggett, Lynn
Cansler, Doug MacLean, Carol
Dugger, Mike Ehrlnghaus,
David Trosper, Jane Talley,
Joe Junod, Terry Jaywork,
Scott McCrea, Blair Turner,
Jeff Alhelm and Anne Savllle.
Yet the apex of the night
will be a program entitled
“Sylvestre and Doris at the
Movies, presented by the
Phlegmlsh (pronounced Flem-
mish) Collection”.
The Collection, at present,
is hoarded by John Lawson,
Todd Davis, Ames Arnold and
Chuck White. “Sylvestre and
Doris” Lawson says “is a
response to the obvious popula
tion problem and its implica
tions for the future. We are
scared by these facts of popu
lation growth and the inevitable
problem they present”.
Their show consists of a mix
ture of poetry and music. Law
son sees the music as slmplls-
