Snow!
Two pints make a cavort, goes the old party joke, but so does
an unexpected snowfall. St. Andrews had its first snowfall in
two years on November 24 when big flakes fell but faUed to
stick. For a while, though, study was forgotten and a good time
was had by all. (Photo by BiUy Howard)

A note
To the
Reader
With all the talk of a noi-
commercial Christmas this
year, we’d like to suggest a
good Christmas investment.
The family of Thurman Chavis
Chavis, who ied in October,
are finding th^selves in a
bad way insofar as food and
funds are concerned. Ann
Turner, who wcrks in the
Business Office, is receiving
contributions to the Chavis
family. Go ly and give a lit
tle. Mr. Chavis was a part of
St. Andrews for over a decade
and was famous for doing lit
tle favors for practically
everybody at one time or
another. Now you can do
something tangible in return.
THE LANCE STAFF
“CoEvolutiai Quarterly,”
the supplement to the “Last
Whole Earth Catal(^” and
“Whole Earth Eplog,”has, in
its most recent issue, recom
mended three books to the
general public for those who
wish to understand the energy
crisis and its relationship to
energy problems and options
for the future.
Two of these three books
were written by Dr. G. Tyler
Miller, Jr., Professor of
Chemistry & Human Ecology
here at St. Andrews. Both of
these books have been used in
the freshman Selected Topics
In Modem Science course.
The first book, “Energetics,
Kmetics, & Life; An
Ecological Approadi,” was
used in STMS several years
ago and is now used in Ther
modynamics & Kinetics I.
Selected by “Choice”
magazine as one of the out
standing books of 1972, this
book was recommended for a
basic understanding of
ecology and life.
For an understanding of the
major energy problems and
the energy crises that face us
now and in the future, the
“Whole Earth Catalog”
recommends Dr. Miller s
latest book, “Energy & En
vironment: Four Energy
Crises,” now being studied in
STMS.
By far his biggest success
and his major work. Miller’s
“Living in the Environment”
was being used for in
troductory environmental
courses in over 400 different
colleges and universities in
the UJS. within six months af
ter its publication last
January. His publishers in
dicate that it is the most
widely used environmental
textbook in the country.
Coming to the college in 1966
as ah Assistant Dean and
responsible for the total scien
ce program here including the
nationally and internationally
recognized St. Andrews Scien
ce Center, Dr. Miller has
