This year, the Language Deiiartment of St. Andrews Installed
the Dial Access system for the use of students. The system
was a wonderful conceiH, with sets In all the dorms and In
many of the I.A classrooms.
Many foreign language students depend on the tapes as a
source for their lab reports. Professors expect these repo'*s
to be completed outside of the classroom, and then turned In
the next day. Rut, because of “bugs” In the system, many stu
dents are unable to complete the assignments.
Often, they would punch their assigned numbers, only to
find the tape running backwards, too quietly, or not at all.
Because of the necessity of the oral portion of the foreign
language, the professors are forced to s|>end a class meeting
for the purpose of doing the lab reports. Not only does this
take away valuable classroom time. It also proves harmful to
the student, because they are not permitted to hear the tape
prior to the class meeting due to the problems In the DA.
There are student aids who are assigned to help when the
erratic machine decides to act up. Hut, they are unwilling to
assist much of the time.
So, the students are forced to go Into the classrooms totally
unprepared to take the written lab test.
The Idea of the Dial Access Is unique, and under the proper
conditions would prove most helpful. This year to many students.
It has t)een more trouble than It Is worth.

Leaders For A New SA
Last week the dorms voted into office their new leaders-
Presldent, Vice-President, Residence Court Representatives,
and Social Chairmen. The quality of their leadership will affect
St. Andrews students in every aspect of their campus life - social,
political, academic. Judicial - and can either make or break
St. Andrews. At this crucial point in college education, when
students are fighting in pragmatic terms for their morally-con
ceived rights and responsibilities, it will l)e up to next year’s
officers to make the decisions which will either help bring St.
Andrews up to the standards of today’s colleges or leave It
mediocre and uncommitted.
The new IDS In conjunction with the cabinet has the ma
chinery within their structures to accomplish a great deal.
President Hart is expected to be open and responsive to student
participation In the majority of campus affairs. We have new
and old faculty to give aid and comfort.
But essentially it Is up to student government in the form
of people-Student Association officers, Interdormltory-Senate
members, Judiciary members .and even social chairmen - to
strive for what is meaningful and right in the context of the
St. Andrews Community. This obviously, must involve every
student. Know your elected officers, talk to them, sit In on IDS
meetings and realize the issues. Without student interest, stu
dent government must fall.

Curriculum Changes Criticized
BY CHARLIE PRATT
In retrospect to the ‘‘Guide
lines for registration in the
C&C Program,” whichwasdis-
tributed to all students a few
weeks ago, there Is an obvious
attempt to expand and Improve
a weak Junior C&C program.
By adding one more semester
of non-Western to the regular
303 Non-Western, theC&C team
hopes to cover this important
aspect of cultural patterns In
a more detailed fashion. But In
doing so. It necessitates mov
ing the one semester of Wes
tern Culture to the student’s
senior year, and making it re
quired for all students graduat
ing after 1970. This brings the
total numt)er of mandatoryC&C
courses to eight.
I approve of the idea of an
expanded C&C program, but I
believe that the addition of the
eight course requirement
should not be applied to students
graduating in 1971. There are
a number of reasons for this.
First of all, I disapprove of
the methods In which this ad
dition of the student’s schedule
was presented. It Is In direct
conflict tx)th with the college
catalogue (1967-1968, page 37).
"Basic Liberal Studies
Christianity and Culture - 33
semester hours (7 courses)
Also from the student hand
book, page 41, “5. All stu
dents who entered St. Andrews
from the Fall semester, 1967,
through Summer, 1968, are
under the requirements of the
1967-1968 catalogue.”
The C&C faculty cannot
change what has t>een recorded
In writing and approved by the
faculty previously.
Secondly, the prerequisite of
Freshman CiC before taking
any other C&C course places
undue strain on those who have
done poorly at the Initial levels
of C&C. In essence the pre
requisite forces the student to
wait an entire year In order to
complete the Freshman level
courses. He should be able to
attempt upper level courses in
C&C without successfully com
pleting Freshman C&C, The
C&C team Is forcing that stu
dent to come an extra semester,
thus punishing him monetarily
as well.
Thus I recommend that the
C&C team consider making one
of the upper level C&C courses,
303-304, 401, 402, optional for
students who will graduate in
1971. This will give the op
portunity for students in
terested and able to work It
into their schedules. It will
also relieve pressure on those
who have a tight schedule and
cannot Incorporate It into their
studies.
Another Ill-timed require^-
ment for Sophomores is the ad
ditional semester of P. E. Again
this requirement violates the
college catalog (1967-1968)
which says that students must
take only 4 semesters (p. 37).
Supposedly, the purpose for this
change is to make easier the
change over to 4-1-4 and the 4
point system. It is still a burden
on the student who has planned
his schedule according to the
recommendations of the college
catalog last year.
The change of course re
quirements by the faculty in
direct violation to documented

A Letter;
WSAP Praised
To the members of the Radio
Club;
I would Just like to take
this opportunity to publlcally
congratulate the Radio Club for
the WSAP Glv-Away last week.
The spirit generated by your
club was a great boon to the
success of Spring Fling as well
as filling the entertainment va
cuum In which we exist.
The fact that a group of stu
dents can pull the entire SA
campus together is, in itself, a
compliment to that group.
Again, all 1 want to say is
thanks. Keep up the good work--
SA needs you, and more like
you.
Sincerely,
Mike Ferrell

regulations Is not only wrong
in a legal sense, but also It
denies the participation of stu
dents in areas that pertain di
rectly to them. Individual stu
dents are now talking with pro
fessors about these Issues. We
must show more Interest; we
must convince them of the pro
blem, and possible solutions.

D !ir Sirs;
perhaps one of man’s basic
f! ilts is that of spreading un-
qi allfled rumor. Such rumors
a e usually spread because of a
$ rt sunderstanding of the actions
a d/or thoughts of a fellow
b lug. Unless these actions or
tl »ghts are thoroughly under-
X s )0d, these rumors can be de-
$ n /■allzlng to not only the per
il; s IS Involved, ljut also to those
V it care to spread such rumors
« Hiout sufficient understand-
S li !■
$ Recently we, as a community
0 St. Andrews, were confronted
with some such rumors of drugs
OB our campus. Before Judging
S: our college harshly and spread-
ing farther rumors, let’s take
•i; a look at the facts and clear
up the misunderstanding.
In February of this year a
class of non-scientists decided
j: that they would like to accept
5 the responsibility of studying
drtgs and their effect on nerves
and genes in order to Inform the
coinmunity of the possible de-
•i; termental effects the drugs
ii; might have. While their re-
sponsiblllty was thought to be
>:• beyond non-scientists, one man
believed that this group was
responsible and mature enough
>•; to handle this problem. Thus
S this project became both a
struggle to understand the use
0' drugs as well as a means
0 placing responsibility on
tl ose individuals participating
1 this project.
After long hours of literature
1 esearch, planning and dlscus-
I ton these students began the
iperlmentatlon portion of their
jsearch. SuppIIeswerega-

part of the experiment was to :
take tests on these bacteria at :
a minimum of every two hours ■
over a 24-hour period. Over ;
the past two weeks the group ;
has been collecting pre-experi- :
ments to organize their bac- :
teria growth system for the true
experiment. Because of these :
experiments, it was necessary ■
that all group members bepre- ;
sent every night in the lab In
order to get an understanding
of what to do during the true
experiment.
At the beginning of the week
these individuals had finished
their preliminary experiments
and were beginning their true
experiment with the drug (meth-
adrine). As was done in the
preliminary experiment, shifts
were organized so that the In
dividuals could rest while the
experiment continued. Since the
time duration of the shifts was
fairly short, it was necessary
that all the group members be
present during the experi
ment. One of the reasons for
such dedicated work was the
system on which the group has
been organized during the whole
semester. It is a system based
on obtaining optimal success
from the organized research
and experiments. It Is our hope
that the dedicated work on the
complex project reflects the :
optomistlc views of the group ;
concerning both our work with ;
drugs and genes, as well as the
system under which we have
been working all semester, and
hope that the above facts wUI
provide a better understanding
of the purpose, objective and
method of our experimental re
search project.

Moore’s Reflections
(Continued from Page 1)
Dr. Moore indicated the con
cern he has for students who
criticize the Institution with
out understanding the entire
situation and the view of the
administration. “The college
has lost a great deal of money
this year because of some in
dividual’s radical action and
harsh criticisms without their
truly understanding the col
lege’s position,” Dr. Moore
said.
Dr. Moore is very enthusias
tic about the choice of the new
President, Dr. Donald Hart.
Both men have spent longhours
together going over principle
problems. “I’m extremely
pleased over Dr. Hart’s com
ing,” Dr. Moore went on to
say. “He is very qualified and
has the kind of strength St.
Andrews needs. He has real
religious faith and commitment
and understands our Christian
dreams here at St. Andrews.”
Dr. Moore also said that Dr.
Hart was flexible and hopes to
have more time to be with the
students.
Having spoken h I s 980th
time last Sunday since becoming
President of St. Andrews, Dr.
Moore says he has “great faith
in the future of this college. We
have made tremendous strides
In gaining significance as one of
the top colleges In the state”.
St. Andrews has indeed a
great debt to her first Presi
dent. Dr. Moore’s own per
sonal c 0 m m I tment and deep
faith has seen St. Andrews
through from the drawing
boards to one of the finest
church related liberal colleges
in the nation.
