Editorial
Once Again!
The year has finally cranked up in earnest, and THE LANCE
staff is, as usual is overworked and underfed . .. but you know
we always complain about little things like that.
But this year isn’t going to be a year for complaints and
rages, at least from the appearances of the first two weeks of
school. Just look at what’s been accomplished by some unusual
diligence and planning on many people’s part;
The C.U.B. is off and running — if it gets the support it needs
(like have you bought your choice ticket/yet, and why not?).
Student government has already dispensed with what most
people consider its two most important functins; allocating the
budget and renting refrigerators. Seriously though, if you don’t
support Jeff Walker in his attempts to fill committees, don’t
stand around and critize his administration for not doing what
you wanted it to do.
ORIENTATION AGAIN ...
/
Public Information of the
Duke Endowment. Mr.
Sailstad spoke on the liberal
arts college and its
relationship to the community
it is set in and the community
of its supporters. He spoke of
the great resources that could
be found in a search of both
communities. The last
speaker was Ms. Carol Van
Alstyne, who is the Chief
Economist for the American
Council on Education in
WAshington, D.C. Dr. Van
Alstyne related to the group
the trends in education and
forthcoming problems and
also the general attitudes of
the administration and
Congress towards private
colleges. She offered advice
on economic planning and
stressed the need for unity
within the college and bet
ween the college and other
similar colleges. After their
presentation, everyone was
divided into small groups
which discussed what each
felt was the major issue in
volved with small, private,
church-related liberal arts
colleges and proposed one
question related to this issue
for the panel to respond to if
they were able.
The next presentation was
on “St. Andrews today” and
included presentations on
management by Pres.
Perkinson, on student life by
Dean Claytor, and on
Academic life by Dean
Crossley. Again the group
broke into small groups
and discussed various ob
jectives of the college as
stated in the Draft Statement
of College Goals and Ob
jectives produced by an
inhouse committee. Each
group took a particular
section of the document to
edit and offer suggestions and
generally evaluate. The basic
concerns were that the
Statement be clear and
realistic and not ambiguous
and wordy. One area in
particular that seemed to
have been left out of the
Statement was the area of the
St. Andrews “community,” or
the relationships between all
groups on campus.
The first item to be
eviewed on Saturday mor
ning was the reports from the
arious long range planning
committees. The first report
/as from Profiles and
Projections, which studies
three areas: budget planning,
college institutional data, and
retention of students.
Basically a model of budget
planning called Plantran was
used to estimate the income
and expenses of the college in
five year period, to point
possible problem areas or
areas where resources could
be located and utilized.
Concerning college in
stitutional data, a review of
the organization of data was
completed, with suggestions
on data organization and
access, and faculty salary
data was updated. A study
has been undertaken to locate
reasons for student withdrawl
and/or transfer in the past
three classes (‘76-‘78), and
that data is being analyzed. A
course selection analysis of
the class of ‘78 was completed
and the data used in faculty
workshops. The second
committee, which worked on
College Needs and Priorities,
reported their suggestions on
how to use funds above the
day-to-day operating needs.
The small groups again took
sections of this report and
offered criticism and
suggestions. Those area
thought to be high priority
(not in any order) are:
Assurance of Present
Program Quality, Debt
Retirement, Unrestricted
Endowmet, Endowed
Scholarships, Endowed
Distinguished Professorships,
Program for the Physicaly
Handicapped, Faculty
Development and Com
pensation, Library
Development, Planned
Maintenance and Equipment
Purchase, Distinguished
Campus Visitor Fund, and a
program in International
Education (i.e.
a plan to enable less fortunate
students to take a winter term
trip abroad which would be
included in the tuition and
therefore open to financial
aid). This last item is of
special importance to
President Perkinson, it being
his brainchild.
Other items discussed were
the desire to attract qualified
women and minority faculty
and staff members, which has
not been largely successful in
the past.
Ferner and Associates, a
consultant firm hired by the
college, gave the last
presentation. They shared
with us a partial report of
their findings of their study of
the college, which included
not only research but in
terviews with students,
faculty, administration, and
staff. Their findings were
optimistic not about the,
problems facing St. Andrews
but the ability of the whole
community, students through
trustees, to band together to
work these problems out.
