Each while combining with the others to form a whole, is separate and distinct, and funds for one purpose cannot be transferred across those invisible but immutable bounds. That this is the case has been offered up a great deal of late as an explanation for why all the money now being spent, or which have been spent, for administrative offices and the like cannot be used, say, for keeping jobs in the cafeteria. Accounting principles being as exacting as they are, we can see that this is a fairly reasonable assertion. The fact, however, that certain monies cannot be spent outside their appropriated category does not mean that they have to be spent on their appropriated category, either. It is difficult, thai, to see why, at a time when economy is being exalted as such a virtue at St. Andrews, and when the College is looking at a $383,000 deficit for this year, there ifas been so much relocation, expansion, repainting, recarpeting, and recurtaining of offices that were in reasonably good shape to begin with. It creates a negative image of the priorities of the college, and not unreasmably so. IN or are the public areas of the campus immune from the urge to redecorate. We can agree with a little paint here and there where it is needed, but would think it cheaper and more sensible to get in mind what needs to be done the first time it is done, rather than paint something once and then have to come back two weeks later to do it over. The bookshelves and coatracks outside the cafeteria are the case in point: thenfairly tolerable blue color they were given two weeks ago has now been replaced by a sickly cast of green, the first hue not having passed muster with some of the power figures involved. This sort of thing is silly and wasteful. A letter to the editor this week suggest that all expenses for refurbishment beyond those already committed should be suspended unless a public hearing gains a consensus for such expense. We agree. Unless there is a pressing need to spend money for such things, it ought not to be spent. An Unfortunate Departure We have recently learned that Mrs. Leora Davis of the bookstore staff will be leaving the service of the College on November 19 after some ten years at her job. Those who have had the chance to get to know her over the past years are truly distressed that she is leaving, for they know her to be a charming person with a ready smile and a pleasant sense of humor that brightens the darkest day. We seem to have lost a lot of people like that at St. Andrews over the past few years and are diminished a little for their departing. We wish her the best of luck in whatever endeavor she may next undertake, and hope that she will come out to visit often. Still Hospitalized Dewey Humphries, the chief of the food service at St. Andrews, has been out for several weeks as a result of surgery. Complications have recently set in, raising the possibility of additional surgical work. Word of his absence has not gotten around to much; we raise it in order that all his friends might be aware of the situation, and keep tabs on it. Send him a card if you are so inclined. The Cardinal Ballroom (right will be the site of the annual Con cord Highland Christmas Dinner Dance. The ballroom is part of the Pinehurst Hotel Complex in Pinehurst. (Photo by Geof frey Hall) To the Editor: A situation has arisen very recently which I believe reeds some criticism on my part (it is not necessarily bad criticism). Approximatdy three weeks ago the bookshelves outside of the cafeteria were repainted. And rightly, so, for ever since I have been here they had not been repainted and they desperately needed it. SO THANK YOU, MAIN TENANCE! However on Mon day of this week they were repainted, again but this time they were painted green in stead of blue. While I per sonally like green better than blue I think painting them every three weeks is a bit ridiculous . . • Last week s THE LANCE carried a story which commented tnai oen.ain amounts of money could not be allotted to refurbish things and that this amount of money could not be reallocated to other projects. My point is this. If the amount of money allotted to refurMshment is so large that to spend it all we must paint the same things every three weeks, then I believe that those responsible for allotting the money are “not” responsible at all. My proposal is that no fur ther money be allocated for refurbishment with out the ap proval of a student-faculty conmittee on redecorating. "nianks; Emily Post P.S. Perhaps your readers could explain this strange situation. Three Resignations Announced (Continued from Page 1) well in their first meet, and their efforts help wien th? mar^nof^ctory.or.asone put it, rub some salt in the wounds.” The final team scores saw St. Andrews leading with 28 points, Methodist coming in second with 36, and Virginia Wesleyan far ack with 64. in- dividual runners making the DIAC All Conference ^ were Co-captains Houge and Pelon and “Iceman” Wall. The victory in Fayetteville marked the first conference championship for the harriers. While posing for pic- tures with the trophy and his team mates, co-captain Jacob Houge said, “I’ve worked for this for four long years; I can’t believe it (that they had won), but then I’ve worked too hard not to.” Houge ran his best time ever and the best time ever recorded fora St. Andrews runner for the five mile distance to close out his final season on a distinctly upbeat note. His resignatiai will take ef fect on December 1; he in dicated to THE LANCE that he would recommend that long time assistant George Rolland be appointed to suc ceed him. Thompson, ’78, became editor rf THE LANCE in February, 1975 after serving four months as a staff writer and two as associate editor. His resignation is effective with today’s issue of THE LANCE. He told THE LANCE that he would probably write an occasional piece for the paper in the spring, but would not take a staff position and would probably devote most of his newly acquired free time to his radio show at WSAP. Greene, ’79, has ser ved as managing editor of THE LANCE since Sep tember, 1975. His resignation takes rffect at the end of fall term. No successor has been chosen to date. Thranpson will be succeed as editor by John F. Patton, a freshman from Lexington, Virginia. Patton has ser ved on THE LANUE as a staff writer, served as feature editor of his hi^ school paper and was additionally active in theater there. This interest has also followed him to St. Andrews, as he appeared in last month’s Highland Players production of Mac beth. Interested in hiking trout fishing and the like, Pat ton is considering Enelish and politics as possible majors, and is also a radio DJ with WSAP. Patton indicated that he looks forward to his new post. “One of the good things about St. Andrews,” he told THE LANCE, is that it offers every student the chance to get in volved in almost every facet of the College. Activities and organizations aren’t segregated according to class or sex. It gives me a real sen se of community.” Dance Details Released By Carol McLani A Christmas dinner and dance, sponsored by Highlan ds and Concord dormitories, will be held on December 4 at Pinehurst, North Carolina.
