RENOVATION EXPANDS ACROSS CAMPUS
Cardinal
To Return
In February
BY GREGPICCOLA
(Third in a series)
Confirming the rumors of
recent days, St. Andrews
Business Manager Barry
StaUings told “The Lance”
this week that a new food
service contract was signed
on January 5, 1978 with
Cardinal Food Service. The
contract is effective February
3, and runs through May 31,
1979. Cardinal Food Service
has been at St. Andrews
previously, but was underbid
for the contract last spring by
ARA.
Stallings said that “the
decision to change food
services came after lengthy
discussion, when both parties
were unable to come to a
mutual agreement to
alleviate the existing con
ditions.” He cited the ad hoc
Student Food Committee as a
source of “constructive in
put” into the situation, and
noted that he hoped the
committee would continue to
serve as a liason between
students and the Food Ser
vice. Student response and
involvement, he noted, are
the only way that Cardinal
will receive the information
necessary to make the
changeover successful.
In response to the clamor
over dirty dishes and utensils,
St. Andrews has also pur
chased a new dish washing
machine.
Also noted by The LANCE
was the hiring of David
Niblock, a 1977 Graudate of
St. Andrewd to become tiie
local manager.

SCENES OF RENOVATION have been appearing all over
campus these days. Here workmen are creating the new
meditation room.
Use Of Small Gym
For CUB Considered
BY STEVE NEWTON
The College Union Board,
Business Manager Barry
Stallings told WSAP News
yesterday, will be granted the
use of the small gym in the PE
Building for entertainment
purposes. This will provide the
Board with an area suitable
for larger crowds than can be
presently accomodated in
either Farrago, the College
Union, or the dormitories
Some limited alterations
will be undertaken to make
the room more serviceable for
this purpose, as well as to
(continued on page 2)
The renovations apparent
all over campus in the past
two Weeks are moving ahead
at a rapid pace, and seem to
be becoming more and more
extensive every day.
Probably the most im
mediately noticed con
struction is that of the 80-foot
high Katherine M. Belk Bell
Tower, for which the pilings
have now been driven in
Chapel Island. Topped with a
Celtic cross and outfitted with
16 bells, the tower should be
visible from virtually
anywhere on campus. An
earthen ampitheater will be
dug behind the tower, and
following the conclusion of the
use of heavy equipinent on the
island, the entire causewalk
will be resurfaced. This work
is scheduled to be completed
by the beginning of April.
Both Kings Mountain
Conference Center and the
College Union are also un
dergoing renovations and
remodelling. The full extent of
the plans, although work has
also been going on there for
two weeks, was not unveiled
until yesterday, when
Business Manager Barry
Stallings laid out the details to
the WSAP News Department.
Changes set for the Union,
Stallings told WSAP, include
the installation of a seven foot
video screen television in the
Red Lion, carpeting in the
main lounge, and resurfacing
of all remaining floors.
Several interior walls will be
relocated in order to reduce
the bookstore, and create
several new rooms (including
one for meditation). Game
tables and other games to be
signed out to students will also
be added. Outside the
building, near the Dean of
Students’ office, a glass
elevator will be installed to
link the floors of the Union
more conveniently for han
dicapped students and
recreate the effect similar
elevators have in such
structures as the Hyatt hotel
chain.
Between the cafeteria and
the shore of Lake Moore will
be a large bricked-over area
with bushes, landscaping, and
wrought iron tables decked
with striped awnings to create
the effect of a French cafe
transported to the college
scene and set among large
flower beds. All this work is to
be finished by April 26.
The work on Kings Moun
tain is to be entirely finished
by next week, for the
dedication ceremonies on
January 26. The center will
continue to serve as a guest

Mrs, Bullock
“What constitutes a life
well spent?” Will Rogers once
mused. “Love and admiration
from our fellow men is all
that anyone can ask.” But
that standard, Mrs. Edith
Bullock’s life was well spent
indeed. The wife of St. An
drews professor Leslie
Bullock, she died last Friday
at Duke Hospital in Durham.
A teacher in the local schools,
a deacon in the Presbyterian
Church, an active member of
the Laurinburg and St. An
drews community she
exemplified all that is good in
human nature. The memory
of her friendship will be
treasured by all who enjoyed
it.
