Already the College has made making financial cut backs in expenditures. Costs of supplies and equipment have dropped since little new equipment is needed at this time. Faculty reduction has been a necessary move in the adeaption of the College to low enrollment. Dr. Hart explained the reduction as being acceptable because our teacher student ratio of 1 to 16 is lower than most institutions of higher learning. Hart maintained this ratio does not need to be that low to continue the quality education offered at St. An drews. Briefly, the faculty changes are: Dr. Joyner will be on sabbatical receiving one-half his normal salary; Dr. Valentine has been ap pointed Assistant Dean for Student Academic Affairs, and will teach some Spanish (Doing away with the major); Dr. Blair will be on leave of absence Dr. Stephens replaces Dr. Pauley as Registrar, and will continue to teach some Chemistry; Mrs. Pauley will also leave her position the Math Depart ment; Betty Johnson, Coach Robin Kinne, Mrs. Brock- mann, Mr. Weimar, Mr. Paul MacDonald and Mr. Osborne will all be leaving. In addition, Mrs. Leitz will not be back in the library. Dr. Doubles is becoming thf new Dean of Students and wih continue teaching in some capacity while Dr. Decker will take up teaching. Curiously, ROCV./NG CAy^/R there was no mention of Jeff Gross leaving the college after next year.. Psychology, Sociology, and Spanish are three depart ments being reduced in status because of the lack of student interest. Coruses in each of these three subjects will be of fered but as combined in other wider-range majors. A physical education major will be offered for the firk time even with the P. E. faculty being cut by one member. New options have been added to other majors, most notably in history, where more con centration in certain interest areas may be achieved. Other ideas to help satisfy student interest are more work-study programs, internships, and career emphasis programs. This last idea wodd be im portant in offering the typical liberal arts major a structure in his courses that would take aim toward some sort of future career. Hart enthusiastic about no deficit budget in upcoming year Dr. Hart used two charts to show the financial situation of the college in actual terms of dollars and cents, saying that for the first time in quite a while, he is enthusiastic about how things are developing. In the school year of 1969-70, Dr. Hart’s first year here, the budget was $3,576,639, with a deficit of $406,206 (which is about the same as this year’s deficit). The projection for the school year of 1974-75 is a budget of $3,290,604 with no deficit. However, this is a cut in the budget of $286,035 from THURSDAY, MAY 2,1974 1969-70 and when the inflation rate since that time is taken into account, this cut expands to in the area of $500,000 lost in actual spending power. Gifts to the school in 1969-70 amoun ted to $561,789 while for 1974- 75, they jumped to $679,119. Continued increases in gift- giving such as this are im portant in piaking up these deficits. Over the next 18 mon ths, a money-making cam paign will be running with the goal of five to ten million dollars being reached for. This would be but a small portion of what Dr. Hart sees as being a necessary endowment for the school (between 25 and 40 million dollars). The remaining 30 or so million dollars would be hopefully given to the school by an in terested individual or several of them. The College’s Board of Trustees are firmly com mitted to the areas of fund raising, recognizing that strengthening of the Board is necessary in order to meet this responsibility. At present the Board consists of 36 mem bers, all of whom are elected by the Synod of North Carolina. A suggestion has been made for the Synod to elect 2/3 of the members while the Board itself would elect the other 1/3. This would open the Board to more influence from outside the Presbyterian Church, broadening the base from which it operates. Dr. Hart put it that “we gotta hustle money” and by opening more doors of potential money sources with this more varied Board membership, more fun ds will naturally become available. The three areas most in need of improvement are ad missions, retention of studen ts, and the money-making situation. The Admissions Of fice is undergoing changes, both in personnel and in ap proach to recruiting students. Improved public relations and advertising are recognized as important in this: The reten tion of students has a great deal to do with the program changes mentioned earlier but would also call for a more ef fective advisory program and the continued good faculty- student interchange. Dr. Hart spoke of the im portance of money-making, not just for “another” liberal arts college, but for a superior one. “We don’t deserve to sur vive unless we are well on our way toward being one.” He pointed out the excellent facilities such as rehabilitation which are nationally recognized. But it will take a great deal of money to keep this kind of quality going. 276-4SM 4 Plaza Shopping CMt«r BUTCH &T11E MD ARE BACK! LAST I “BUTCH CASSIDY AND DAYS!

M. NIGHTLY LATE FUCK A short period of questions and answers was held after Dr. Hart finished speaking, dealing with some of the details of what had been said by both speakers. Tom Pat terson asked Mr. Smythe what sort of image he tried to give St. Andrews when talking to groups and individuals, referring, I think, to a rumor that he had not used the Black Mountain Festival recently held here to encpurage recruiting, for fear of at tracting the “wrong” kind of student. Unfortunately, this nraior was not sufficiently cleared up. Smythe described the image he gave St. Andrews as being “creative innovation.” When Tom directed the question more toward Black Mountain, Smythe simply said that when talking With neo„ of his generation, he ' mention it because to mi them it represented ‘5"' munism” and “vegetari= to mention a few of th ' When asked wtaifa potential applicants f Black Mountain, Dr i i spoke up ^ying that school students had J!? heard of the place and didS associate any importance J It. T^e question as to w atl image of St Andrews is, wh It is wanted to be by school 0 student is being sought after was not sufficiently foUow! up. It would be important to know just what sort of a* titudinal changes, if any ar' being sought after by’the college in regard to its student body. Rayburn To Head Admissions (Continued From Page 1) on ideas for the immediate ^ future which would have to do with the best ways to attract a larger than normal per centage of this year’s ap plicants, to make up for the drop in number mentioned earlier. Alone the same line , some important reorganization has occurred of the system in which the Ad mission Office is only a part. The new director will no longer report to the Director of Development, Bruce Frye, but instead directly to Dean Arnold. Dr. Hart explained that the purpose of this change was to achieve better coor dination between recruiting students, admitting them, helping them through orien tation and improving the ad vising role after the routine of school has started. Fur thermore, this would bring the faculty closer to the ad missions problem, both sec tors reporting to the Dean. It is hoped that this will en courage faculty talks with high school and junior college officials in a further effort to attract students. Jean Rayburn is entering a tough job which, as Mr. Gourley discovered, depends upon more than hard work and good intentions. The market for students eligible to enter college is on a national decline and for those that qualify^ there is the problem of reten tion. Many students become dissatisfied and leave before graduating. Whether or not she is able to “beat the market,” as Dr, Hart described her task, it will only take time to see. Bridge With a confused atmosphere that reminded one of the main floor of the New York Stock Exchange the first of the proposed series of tour naments was held in Winston- Salem dorm Saturday night. The first round of play (each consisting of six played han ds) ended with the team of Whit Kehaya and Mike Flet cher taking a slim lead over the partnerships of Marty Fort-Calhoun Chappell and Tom Ross-Tim Leland, These standings remined the same through three rounds with the tense excitment increasing; with each hand played.
