art Comments On
Recent Campus Issue
In ray judgment, the recent
;sue of the Dialogue is based
in some incorrect premises,
is that institutional re-
Itraint on personal behavior Is
iiitomatically and only a re-
Ifction of an “in loco paren
ts” focus. It isn’t. Personal
Irecdoms necessarily—and al-
lays-are limited in any group
liitution. This is true in a fam-
l),^ in a college, or In any
ilher social organization in-
Ivolving the Impact of an In-
Jividual’s action upon others
the group or upon the group
as a whole.
Personal freedom, there-
lore, is conditioned by the goals
i the group (s) of which an
jdlvidual is a part. To put it
another way, the degrees of in-
ividual freedom that are ad-
lissible in a human organiza-
lon (in this instance, the col-
Icie) relate to the degree of
Interdependence that Is neces
sary to achieve the purposes for
which the organization exists.
This obviously relates to a
second premise that seems to
underlie the Dialogue state
ment; namely, that individual
conduct has no effect upon the
college community. As for doing
what one wishes in a room that
has been ‘‘paid for" can one
drive as one wishes in a “paid
for” car? Comparing the col
lege dormitory with a city
apartment is mixing oranges
and turnips. All of the occu
pants of a college dormitory
are continuous associates in the
total education effort that per
sists 24 hours a day, for months
at a time. Unlike the casual in
terpersonal contacts that might
or might not occur among a-
partment dwellers, the neces
sarily close and frequent con
tacts on campus cause indivi
duals' conduct to evoke re
sponses, attitudes, reactions.
SA Security Force
Adds Two New Men
BY SARA LEE
The campus security force
has been beefed up by the ad
dition of two new security ot-
flcers—Chief of Security Jac
ques ReVllle and Mr. Lacy
Gay.
Both men are sworn deputies
ot the Scotland County Sheriff’s
Ottice with arrest powers coun
ty-wide, while Mr. Jackson Is an
elected constable of Stewarts-
vllle Township. These three
men, along with student wor
kers, are responsible for the
security of the entire campus,
(or student safety as well as
the physical buildings and cars.
The men run shifts almost a-
round the clock, chalking up
nearly 150 miles a day In car
patrolling alone. They also pa
trol on foot, especially in the
causewalk area during the even
ings.
Besides campus patrol,
the security force Investigates
campus larcenies and Issues
some traffic tickets. As well,
they are available to advise and
help students, not specifically
as police officers.
Currently the force has two-
way radios in use with main
tenance department as contact.
Plans are underway for a di
rect phone line to be Installed
in the regular patrol car. Al
so foreseen in the near future
are badges for Identification and
armed patrols.
Mr. ReVille pointed out sev
eral pertinent facts about the
campus security situation. In
his opinion, “Your room is your
home. The only time we can go
In without permission is when
we have direct knowledge of a
felony committed in that room.
Otherwise, we go In at the re
quest of college officials”.
However, ReVille pointed out
that a search warrant issued by
local police can be used to
gain admission by other offi
cers, although it is preferable
that they work through the SA
security force.
Mr. ReVille requested that
larcenies be reported to the
security force who file a re
port in their office as well with
Dean Decker. He also noted that
his home telephone number is
for twenty-four hour a day
emergencies. Thus, If unable to
contact an on-duty security of
ficer, call Mr. ReVille at 276-
0173 rather than the Laurln-
burg Police or Dean Decker un
less the emergency warrants It.
Mr. ReVille, raised in Wil
mington, N.C., served from
March, 1959 to November, 1969
on the Laurinburg Police Force.

and concerns that unavoidably
generate either effective or In-
effective interpersonal re
lationships in the academic op
erations of the college. This is
the appropriate context of the
“integrity and honor of St. An
drews”, and of “individual
freedom exercised with re
sponsibility”.
Responsibility does not exist
in a vacuum. It is acceptance
of accountability to someone
for something. In a college, the
responsibility of students, fac
ulty, administrators, and staff
Is to each other, to the end that
the entire effort of the campus
community (in and out of class)
can be maximally productive In
attaining individual growth and
development and Institutional
strength for succeeding gen
erations. The college, there
fore, does not focus upon in
dividual students for the pur
pose of being ‘ ‘parents, police
men, or conscience” for them.
Rather, the college’s focus is
upon sustaining a total campus
environment that is most con
sistent with its educational ob
jectives. It is this overriding
requirement that conditions and
limits the personal freedom of
students—and of the faculty—
and of the president.

SA Prof Enters
County Election
St. Andrews professor Bill
Winn recently filed for public
office in Scotland County. He Is
hoping to be one of the six
county commissioners who are
the highest local authority In
governing the county. As a
Democratic candidate for the
Stewartsville Township seat on
the Ixiard, Mr. Winn will face
Incumbent Paul Harris in the
May primary as well as a gen
eral election in November.
Winn is well-known through
out the county tor his Initiation
of the petition which resulted
in the establishment of a state
ABC store in Laurinburg.
The major concerns which
Winn will be stressing during
the campaign are centered a-

Elected VP
Tony Fernandez was elected
vice-president of Mecklenburg
Dormitory yesterday. Fernan
dez won by popular majority of
46-31 over his opponent Jim
Klein. This election became
necessary due to the withdrawal
of Sandy Talmadge, previous
dorm vice-president.
Fernandez will be recom
mended to Mike Ferrell for fi-
approval. The final vote

round making the most of county
potential. As well as support
ing a more equitable tax sys
tem for county properties, Winn
pointed out that a large propor
tion of revenue from the ABC
income which goes to the coun
ty could be used for greater
quality education throughout the
county. Mr. Winn stressed the
available "people power” inthe
county, noting that businessmen
would be particularly helpful In
conducting a study of the coun
ty’s various programs for a
economic analysis as well as
being an educational process for
them.
Winn also would like to see
more professional and humane
means of dealing with county
employees, citing two Incidents
which had caused this concern
by the firing of long-time coun
ty employees. Greater activity
of the county Planning Com
mission was also stressed.
‘‘1 would particularly like to
see greater dialogue between
the education folk and the local
community”, Mr. Winn said.
“It would be an opportunity for
both to learn from the other”.
Winn has already begun an
active campaign throughout the
county, in contrast to previous
elections which have been based
on a rather low-keyed approach.
Prior to his Arrival at St. An
drews in 1967, he was a mis
sionary teacher in Rangoon,
Burma. Mr. Winn has been ac
tive in several organizations In
Laurinburg since his arrival and
