EDITORIAL Positive Action Last year THE LANCE, in several editorials, advocated a full-scale effort by all parts of the college community to save paper and to improve the general flow of information. We are pleased to note that at least there is serious movement in this direction. Dean Crossley’s “Operation Paper Chase” has already begun to generate sizable paper savings as the incredible flow of memoranda, minutes, and directives that constantly flow from the various faculty committees and administrative offices have begun to appear printed on the backs of previously used paper. Short memos - just a few lines long - are not appearing so frequently on full pages with the balance of it blank. (It would be nice to see a reduction of the number of memos.) We are noting less and less use of expensive outside mail envelopes for on campus message conveyance. Not enough people are using the lined, multiusable envelopes that would best serve the purpose, though. Hopefully this will be encouraged in those cases where envelopes are needed at all. We suspect that the majority of inter-campus messages could be just as easily stapled shut. Student Personnel Services has reduced the frequency of its bulletin from weekly to biweekly. We would suggest that it be done away with altogether, as it is primarily a calendar and short announcement grab bag whose information is to an extent also being covered by THE LANCE, and the remainder of which could just as easily be absorbed at little cost. Memos to the entire student association could in like manner be run more cheaply in THE LANCE. We applaud these initiatives. We urge wider implementation in the future. Workshop This Weekend A workshop to train and cer tify St. Andrews volunteers in the teaching of adults to read and write will be held this weekend in room B-4 of the Liberal Arts Building. This 10 hour workshop is open to all and will be conducted by the Scotland County Literacy Council. Sessions will be held from 9:00 A.M.-5:00'P.M. on Satur day, October 23 and 2 P.M.- 5P.M. on Sunday, October 24. “Nearly one out of three adults in Scotland County can neighter read nor write well enough to function in many aspects of our society.” says Alex Wilson, Outreach Co ordinator and Literacy Specialist for the Literacy Council. “We need dozens of volunteers from St. Andrews- students, faculty and staff. You will be Gained in a specialized skill and asked to help others in return.” At the completion of the course, volunteers will receive tutor certification in the Laubach method of reading in struction and will be assigned a student to work with on a one-to-one basis. Materials will be {X'ovided at no cost through the generosity of the College Christian Council, the on-campus sponsor of the workshop. “The reasons and rewards for getting involved in a program of this type are too numerous and varied to men- tim. For whatever reasons we hope to see you Saturday mor ning, the rewards will follow.” says Wilson. To the Editor: Why is it when students are asked to get involved in domestic affairs and when they go to register to vote, thfey are prevented from doing so? This happened to me and some other students (si Oc tober fourth, the last day of registratiMi. We spent three hours at the courthouse waiting in line to register. During this time, two mem bers of the Election Board had to be called, attributing to forty-five more minutes of waiting time. Ilie R^istrar in charge did not feel qualified to take the respon- sibUity of asking a series of questions that were not asked of others. The questions were totally irrelevant and biased against students. They mn- cemed hypothetical situations and were impossible to an swer. I’ve been a resident of Nor th Carolina for four years. I have a bank account here, a North Carolina driver’s licen se and have had major surgery at Scotland Memorial Hospital. This informatin is put in here because these were some of the answers to the questons asked of me in Praise For Anniversary Issue To the Editor: I am sincerely flattered that one of my columns was included in your superb fif teenth anniversary issue, ‘mongst the works of the legendary titans of St. An drews’ journalistic past. I thank you for your editorial discretion in selec ting for publication my whim sical piece on streaking, rather than one of my lamen table attempts at serious sportswriting. Having beai subjected for four years to athletic per formances which could only make me shake my head in disbelief, I naturally chose a graduate school with a similarly rich sport ing tradition. The University has surpoassed my wildest ex pectations in this regard. As I rattle the trusty keyboard, out football team has the nation’s longest losing streak! We haven’t scored a touch down in ten quarters! And, horror of horrors, we were SHUT OUT by WiUiam and Mary, which for all intents and purposes dropped football two years ago! Why, if it werai’t for David son, we’d have the worst foot ball team in the country.

To The Editor: Congratulations xi the Fif teenth Anniversary Issue of THE LANCE. It was an enlightening and entertaining overview of St. Andrews’ past. Fifteen years is certainly a mile-post, of sorts. On the other hand, it’s a pretty short time-span for the school to have gone through as many changes as it has. Some rather sinister rumours are reaching me out here in Middle America (and mediocre just about sums it ip), rumours about upped enrollment at the expense of quality, rumours about presidential edicts restricting social life, and other signs equally disturbing. Fifteen years isn’t really thatlong. It would be more encouraging to know S.A. can make it through another fifteen without losing its unique (if bizarre) per sonality.

I could an swer in the affirmative to the questions put forth, but I was denied registration. Another student answered in the negative and as also denied the ri^t to register.

To The Editor: Naturally the Student Body President and the Student Senate President and the Editor of THE LANCE areser- vants of the St. Andrews Com munity as a whole and the Student Body in particular. That their ability to serve be expedited by installing a paid- for (by the Student Association) telephone in the campus residence of each would seem to be a suggestion worth making.
