It is a real pleasure to Wel
lcome parents to the campus this
'weekend for a day of family
lenjoyment.
Parents will be interested in
Iknowing that St. Andrews ex
perienced a twenty percent In-
;rease in new student enroll-
Iment this fall. This is In con
trast to declining admissions
In many private colleges around
the country.
The college’s $5 million For
ward Campaign is approaching
successful conclusion. It is
anticipated that the $150,000
ilill needed to ‘-get over the
lop” will be forthcoming prior
the Board of Trustees meet
ing on October 23rd.
In addition to the campaign
support, St. Andrews has re
vived more than $1 million
grants from the Federal
Government and from various
bundations over the past three
fears.
The strong financial support
Jiat the college has enjoyed re
jects the strong interest na-
ionally in the fresh approach
hat St. Andrews has developed
n interdisciplinary programs.
The next academic program of
Ms kind will be in the Social
ind Behavioral Sciences--
»hlch will be described in one
>f the panel programs on Pa-
ents Day.
Saturday’s schedule will In-
lude two additional panels to
rovide information on what
ta college is doing. One will
oncentrate on the senior
h r i s t i a n i t y and Culture
Mrse, and will be presented
ly senior students who are
nvolved currently. The second
discussion will deal with the
pollution problem and its sig
nificance to American society
at present and in the future.
It is hoped that you parents
will meet as many members of
the faculty and staff as pos
sible, along with student friends
of your sons and daughters.
You will find it pleasant also
to get acquainted with each
other, for you are all part of
the St. Andrews family.

It seemed like just another
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce. You could have mul
tipled the scene a thousand
times in a thousand different
communities across the nation.
The City Manager, a few promi
nent business leaders, pro
fessors and students, all ga
thered to expel some hot air and
idle talk in a antiseptic room of
a public library which was
decorated with some paintings
probably from some anonymous
local artists. The room was
harshly lighted and the men,
uncomfortable in their suits and
ties, fldgited in their chairs to
get comfortable.
But was this really the ordi
nary scene that could be mul
tipled a thousand fold? It seems

Willie Lee Rose, one of the
oremost historians in the coun-

isit campus on Monday.
Miss Rose, a native of Vir-
Jinia, did her PhD work at Johns
Hopkins University under the
oted historian C. Vann Vi'ood-

Bwcroft Prize as well as the

Dr. Charles Joyner pointed
out that during the past few
years, Miss Rose has been en

slavery in the South. Her talk

the city manager and a few local
businessmen of some promi
nence, with of course their one
black citizen, and professors
and students, gathered to talk
about St. Andrews. It seems they
were concerned about a com
munication gap, whether real or
not, between the college and the
community.
The conversation seemed to
run its inevitable gam met: po
lite exchanges and of course,
the back-patting. Some offered
general views concerning the
problem, but always with reser-,
vation so as not to offend. Some
even offended the usual solu
tions, which could have been
read from a textbook.
The problem? The yearbook
could lose money because of
its pictorial essay printed on
the town last year. The solu

BY DAVID WAGNER
For one reason or another in
volvement by a professional
musician in his work is becom
ing more the exception than the
rule. Perhaps it is more to the
performer’s interest to con
centrate on making that al
mighty buck; perhaps Increas
ing demands on musicians have
forced the pros to forget the
polish and concern themselves
with simply grinding the shows
out six nights a week. Who
knows?
But the College Union Board
has kept its collective eye open
for the musician whose sole in
terest is full vocal communica
tion with his audience, and one
has at last come to the Board's
attention. The performer’s
name is Hod David; his per
formance is titled “An Emo
tional Kaleidoscope in Song”.
A bit hokey? Maybe--but what’s
in a name, anyway?
Forget the title and consider
his program. Hod is billed as a
folk singer, but that's just half
of it. There are folk songs in
his repertoire, and virtually
every other variety of music

as well. He may--he doubt
less will--perform "Eleanor
Rigby'’ and ‘■The Windmills of
Your Mind'', then follow with
“Today”, Kurt Weill’s “Bilbao
Song'’ or -‘The Impossible
Dream”, and in between intro
duce several of the songs he has
written for himself (one of the
finest of which is the tender
“I'd Love Making Love to
You'’).
Hod’s concert is divided into
four segments, two before and
two following an intermission.
He opens by walking downstage

thering that he wishes to hear
no applause until each of his
four segments is completed,
and then only if it is deserved.

Players Open
New Season
The Highland Players of St.
Andrews Presbyterian College
have announced that “WestSide
Story'’ will be the opening pro
duction of their 1969-70 “Sea
son of Relevance”. This musi
cal, which was widely ac
claimed on the stage and screen,
will be presentedby the Players
for four performances in the
Liberal Arts Auditorium Octo
ber 15-18.
A special theatre-in-the-
round arrangement has been
planned for “West Side Story”.
From the wild frenzy of the gang
rumble to the simple ballet of
the lovers, the actors, singers
and dancers will carry the pro
duction to a peak of high ex
citement, as the story depicts
the struggle of young lovers in
the midst of an impersonal so
ciety. Racial and national pre
judice, drug abuse and sense
less violence burst from the
daily headlines to the stage as
