rORIAL
The Perkinson Era:
What To Expect?
^iie title of this editorial, the last (for certain) of the year, is
(|ime one we ran over the first editorial of ttie year in
lenber, 1975. We do'so because, to be frank, the first year
le Peridnson Era in retrospect leaves more questions to be
fered, about directions thabi it did in its beginnings nine
|itli^ ago.
lie exodus of personnel this spring, whether by personal or
"jiential choice, is truly astounding. The Dean of the
p the Assistant Dean, the Dean of Students, the Business
afe!’r, the Director of Alumni Affairs and Public Relations,
Jrectorof Church Relations, the Director of Financial Aid
^veral faculty members are leaving en masse.
[lejnessage in these departures is that St. Andrews in the
will be radicaUy different than the St. Andrews of the
N or the immediate past. That the students of St.
will have a voice in the future direction of their
depend on how assertively they press for a role in
psion making. We wonder, though, from whence the kind
Ntionirig students the times call for will come. The new
IS but a pale shadow of the oidone. With only two
T>en’is reelected and on inexperienced leadership, they
re their work cut out for them this fallJo will the new
*t, another body in which inexperience predominates.
^next academic year will call for an inquiring and
Ped student community to ensure that input from this side
F lake is taken seriously. THE LANCE will be doing its
reporting the news and offering constructive
lentary, The rest of its is up to you and your elected
phip.
h Dean Doubles’ Departure
I' '“’louncement of Dean of Students Malcolm Doubles’
Won last week was a sad message for St. Andrews. Dean
who will go to Coker CoUege as Academic Dean, will
y missed, for in the finest sense of the phrase, he is a
and a scholar. His discourse is always fascinating,
'Peppered with classical allusions and a real wit, and his
- witness his recent letter to THE LANCE - are models
and reason, exhibiting that too-rare-these-days
of the language that aUows one to use to select the
word that expresses the thought so much better
[j ^ more commmon - and overworked - word most of us
wish him tlie best in his new post and hope he
us someday before too long.

Business Majors Learning
2
liliiiiiiiini
St. Andrews senior Business
majors are involved in an ex
citing way to broaden their
classroom learning into prac
tical experience. Under the
direction of Dr. James D. J.
Holmes, Associate Professor
of Business Administration,
senior seminar students are
participating in a Corporation
Simulation Game patterned
after the well-known Emory
Game. The class, who
traveled to Emory University
in Atlanta, Georgia in March
of this year to participate in an
intercolligate business game,
felt Uiat this kind of seminar
would be the most beneficial
way for them to apply their
knowledge of business in their
fourth year at St. Andrews.
The class is divided into
three “corporations” who
have merged into one in
dustry. They must deal with
such problems as changing in
terest rates, fluctuating
economy, government in
tervention to regulate product
quality, arrangement of long
term loans and unexpected
demands for the issuance of
formal prospectuses on bond
and stock issues, and then at
tempt to make their industry
profit.
In addition, Dr. Donald G.
Paxton and Mr. Steve Bushar-
dt, both of the bu.siness depart
ment, are taking the roles of
union officials with whom the
students must negotiate. Most
recently the industry’s labor
contract expired and students
had to successfully reallot
budgeting to satisfy the two
labor unions.
St. Andrews is one of only
six colleges in North Carolina
which has such a program
open to its students. “The
students,” says l> Holmes,
“are extremely receptive to
this type of learning through
.simulation. Also, at the senior
level it is important to bridge
the gap between text and
reality- this is the prime
reason for holding the
business seminar.”
In addition to this program,
small businesses in Laurin-
burg are opening their doors
to consultation from the
students. Such projects as
market research and tax
filings have been performed
by the students to implemen:
their learning and, in turn, aid
the small businesses.
