Blues Win Scrimmage
The Blues downed the
Whites, 4-2, Tuesday evening
at the St. Andrews field as the
Knights held their annual
intrasquad soccer match.
“This is the best scrim
mage I’ve seen in a long
time,” an enthusiastic Dean
Betts said as he watched his
squad run through two 40
minute halves.
The Blues were led by
sweeper Mike Herculson, and
attackers Tom Dunn and Bob
Bierbaum. Herculson, who
captains this year’s team
along with Dunn and Scott
Brouthers, keyed one Blue
score when he took off on a
fast break, dribbling the
length of the field before
feeding off to Bierbaum for
the goal. Bierbaum was also
credited with an assist later
in the game.
The Whites only scores
came from Njefi Michael and
Malcolm Doubles.
“We’ve got a lot of good
people and they’re all playing
together,” Betts said. “That’s
the key for this season.
They’re very disciplined.”
Betts said that he would cut
his varsity squad down from
34 to 24 after the intrasquad
game. The Knights open their
season Friday at the Pem
broke State Invitational.
The Knights feature a horde
of returning lettermen and
several talented freshmen
who may see action Friday.
“Pembroke always gives us
a tough game,” Betts said. “I
Dean
Crossley
Convocation. Attendance
there has been tailing off for
the last few years, and this
time the Dean let it be known
that he was not pleased with
this turn of events.
“The orientation of new
students by the admissions
staff, student life staff, and
the SAS 101 faculty-student
tutors was thorough and
seemed successful. There was
a minimum of standing in line
and confusion about “when to
go where.” The staff of the
Career and Personal Coun
seling Center were well
prepared, handled the testing ^
competently, and reported
results quickly for use in
advising new students.
Parents seemed highly ap
preciative of this orientation
at the welcome session. They
were unanimously high in
praise of class meetings with
SAS 101 tutors.
“Participation in the
opening convocation was
disappointing. In this
ceremony of welcome, the
upperclass students were
conspicuous by their absence.
This failure to respect and
participate in convocation
seems to suggest a lack of
understanding for and ap
preciation of community-wide
activities and perhaps a
failure of responsibility to the
community. I hope to have
opportimities in the near
future to discuss this concern
with student leadership and
with students.”
don’t know why exactly. I’m
just hoping we can get a few
breaks and play as well as we
have tonight.”
Cross
Country
Team
Receives
Scare
Six members of the Cro«
Country team were accosted
by Laurinburg men with a
shotgun while running la.;t
Monday afternoon.
Dean Ruff, George Aii
derson, Muhammad Jagne,
Robert Lowry, Hal Bailej
and Jay Mitchell were run
ning on X-Way Road at 4:30
about two miles from St.
Andrews when a tan
stationwagon passed within
inches of Lowry and Bailey.
The runners yelled at the
passing car.
The car returned, running
Anderson off the road, and the
man inside the car began to
challenge the runners to a
fight. All this time he was
driving on the wrong side of
the road.
Further on, the runners
turned onto another road in
the Lake Wood Hills area. The
driver said he was going to
get some friends and come
back.
Later down the road, the
runners were surprised by
them, and the car driver had
a shotgun which he put
against Ruff’s throat. His two
friends, later found to be his
brothers, had a jack and a
crowbar.
Ruff resisted, trying to
lower the gun. Jagne tried to
stop the argument and had
the gun butt smashed against
his right temple, later
requiring stitches.
Anderson had left to call the
police and there were con
tinued skirmishes before they
arrived. The charges
currently being levied against
the driver are Assault with ,
Intent to Kill, Assault with a
Deadly Weapon, and Reckless
Driving. His two brothers
were not charged. The driver
was on probation from an
earlier conviction.
New
Professor
:.
Smith Receives Appointment
Dr. Rose Mary Lavicka has
recently been hired as an
Assistant Professor of Ed
ucation.
"She recently received her
doctorate from Kent State in
special education, where she
majored in the gifted and
talented. Her dissetrtation
was entitled “Situational Fac
tors Perceived as Obstacles to
Creative Contributions of
Faculty Members Holding
Doctorates.”
Dr. Lavicka has spent a
year at the University of
Geneva, Switzerland, and is a
member of the Council for Ex
ceptional Children and the
National Association for the

Dr. JuUan Smitii, director
of athletics, has been named
1978 chairman of the campus
campaign for the Annual
Fund at St. Andrews
Presbyterian College.
Bob Dulin, general chair
man for the Laurinburg
division of the Annual Fund,
announced the appointment.
“The campus campaign is a
vital part of the Laurinburg
division,” says Dulin. “I am
most pleased that someone of
Dr. Smith’s dedication and
capability will provide the
leadership for this effort.”
The fund raising year at St.
Andrews begins with the
campus campaign, and Dulin
believes that it has con
siderable psychological
impact on the Laurinburg
drive, as well as the entire
I Annual Fund program.
I “When faculty, staff and
other employees are com
mitted enough to give from
$12,000 to $15,000 to St. An
drews, that’s a very positive
statement about the in
stitution,” states Dulin.
The campus campaign will
be conduct^ during the first
two weeks of October and will
involve 30 volunteers. Its goal
will be tl2,000 towards the
Annual Fund goal of $525,000.
This is the same total as for
the 1977-78 campaign, which
reported a final total of
I $608,949.
Smith came to St. Andrews
lin 1972, after serving as
lathletic director at Oberlin
|College in Ohio. He is a

Stars, museum director, said.
The collection covers a wide
range of objects, including
human and animal figure,
fetishes, fertility symbols,
masks, ceremoi^ spoons,
even doors and door latdies.
Exhibitions drawn from the
collection will be mounted
later, Stars said.
The objects are of wood,
terra cotta and metal, in
cluding what Stars termed
“an outstanding collection of
bronzes.”
A few of the bronze and
terra cotta iteim may date to
the early 18th century, but,
because of the rapid
deterioration of wood in the
climates of origin, mo^ pieces
are less than 75 years old.
Stars said.
‘Great Addition’
Dr. John Spencer, newly
appointed head of the Duke art
department, called the
collection a “great addition”
and “a great resource.”
Because it is unlikely the
entire collection can be
displayed at one time, items
probably will be put in a studj

Spencer “will be great for
