The medieval library chained each book to a desk to
guarantee its permanent accessbility. More recent inventions
to foil book thieves involve electronic theft detection systems
complete with flashing Ughts, buzzers, or locking doors as the
culprit exists the library.
How is DeTamble Library to solve a “missing” book problem
of 288 volumes for this year alone? A “missing” book is one
that has not been on the shelf for two years.
Figured at $18.03, the national average price of a book in
1977, the loss of stolen books over one year amounts to about
$5,200. Among the 288 “missing” books, literature suffered the
greatest loss this year with 65 titles gone, physical education
and sports (a newly developed subject area) lost 19 books, and
8 guides to bird identification are gone. Specific course-related
titles such as Bronowski’s Ascent of Man are missing as well as
a copy of the Bible illustrated by Michelanglo and two volumes
of the Encyleopedia Britannica.
Theft of these materials is an obstacle to efficient library
service and increases the frustration of other library users.
The best security system a college library can have is a
campus-wide climate of responsibility and of concern for this
problem. People can solve this one better than technology.
DeTamble Library appeals to you.

Concert Committee (Con’t.)
Letters To The Editor
Withrow: Two Days Left
improvements need to be
made for a big name concert.
To have a big name artist
involves selecting someone
who will appeal to a majority
of the campus, which in itself
is quite a problem, because no
matter how many surveys and
questionnairs are taken, you
cannot please everyone. If
everyone was in on the
decision making process, no
decision would ever be made.
I have made a point of forming
a committee that I feel can
objectively sit down and make
a selection that is a solid one.
In the selecting process, we
have to pick an artist that will
sell both on and off campus,
for the simple reason that we
are on a limited budget and we
need to know that we will be
able to sell enough tickets to
pay for the artist. We also
have to keep in mind the legal
seating capacity of the gym
according to the fire marshal,
which is 1800 persons. This is
important because we must
set ticket prices according to
the artist price and the seating
capacity.
For example, let us say that
an artist cost 10,000 dollars
and seating capacity is 2,000
persons. Several ap
proximations must be
calculated. Perfiaps it is
decided that there will be no
difference in student ticket
prices and non-student ticket
prices; if this were the case,
then to break even, supposing
the concert is a sellout, all
tickets would cost $5.00 at a
minimum. We haven’t yet be-
to talk about the price of
preconcert publicity, nor the
miscellaneous spendings that
might be part of the artist’s
contract. L«t us now say that
student tickets will be cheaper
($4.00) and non-student ticket
prices higher ($6.00). Now
many different calculations
must bemade. Instead of
guessing how many people
will attend at $5.00, we have to
start guessing in terms of how
many student tickets will be
sold and how many non
student tickets will have to be
sold in order to break even
should student sales be
low.Let us say 50 percent of
the student iKxly (300) buy
tickets at the above price.
That is only $1,200, which
leaves us $9,800 short of
$10,000 and 1,700 seats left at
$6.00. Hopefully, we would sell
those 1,700 seats and make
$10,200 on those seats alone. It
is important to remember that
Letter To The Students,
In the first 5 weeks of
school many students have
stopped by the C.U.B. office
or have stopped me per
sonally somewhere on
campus and have com
plimented or voiced con
structive criticism of the
C.U.B. The compliments have
been greatly appreciated and
the constructive criticism is
being listened to.
Personally, I feel the credit
should go to the student body.
The students are coming up
with ideas every week for
things to happen in the way of
entertainment at St. Andrews.
First of all the Winston-
Salem “Toga Party” on Sept.
15 was a crazy new type of
party. The Black Student
Union sponsored a dance the
following weekend featuring
the group “Mack.”
Wilmington dorm followed the
fourth weekend with a
“Beatles Party” that ap
pealed to the outdoor-
partiers. The following night
David Niblock and the “St.
Andrews’ Sisters,” along with
Tom Asch, George Rowland,
Chet Naimon, and Willie
Evans put on an excellent
performance at Farrago.
The fifth weekend brought
another campus-wide party at
Mecklenburg dorm that was
also outside and offered a
variety of music, munchies
and a beer truck. Again, the
following night, still another
Farrago, featuring Bill and
Bonnie Hearn. All of these
Dear Ediior:'
It has been close to two
months now that we have
been back at St. Andrews and
for the incoming freshmen,
along with upperclassmen,
life has taken on a daily
routine. Heavily syncronized
in our daily activities is the
physical necessity to eat.
However, the subject of this
letter is not the eating itself
but the process by which
students go about obtaining
their food.
We, the student workers in
your cafeteria, are not the
servants of your mealtime
wishes. We are just in
dividuals who are there either
to njake some extra spending
money or on workships trjdng
to support ourselves through
college. The fact is that we
ARE students and we, along
with all of you, are subject to
the pressures of college and
academic life.
Therefore, we are asking
everyone for a few simple
favors so that your eating
time^as well as our working
time becomes more en
joyable. First, there are
words that most of us seem to
forget; please, thank you and
your welcome. A greater
usage of these will enhance
the hours spent in the
cafeteria. Secondly, everyone
will get their portion of the
meal (some more but that’s
another subject). When en
tering the cafeteria, give the
checker (the person tnat
takes your food number) a
break. Pronounce your food
events were brought about by
the students and co-sponsored
by the C.U.B.
In between all of these
events “Eastern Seaboard”
rocked out on Student Union
steps, and St. Andrews’ first
concert in years was
presented Sept.
featuring the group “Choice’ .
In addition, there has been a
film every week and will
continue the rest of the term.
All of this is an example of
student input. This is not to
say that every event has gone
over with 100% participation
and popularity. But the im
portant thing is that students
are having a voice in what
happens in entertainment at
St. Andrews, and it’s just not
the C.U.B. deciding all the
entertainment.
By the time this article is
printed Student Life will have
sponsored the “Dana Atchley
Road Show” and the Highland
Players will have performed
“Man Of La Mancha”, along
with the Public Events
committee will have spon
sored the Charlotte Chambers
Orchestra. However, the
entertainment does not end
there.
The last weekend in Oc
tober brings Erin Isaac to
Farrago, who has received
nothing but high praise and
top ranking from the colleges
at which she has performed.
Granville will end October
with a “Halloween Party”
that promises to be one of the
most unique parties to ever be
held at St. Andrews.
number audibly before
running to the line and if she
or he doesn’t get the correct
number, say it again-poUtely.
This would be a super help,
as far as second servings are
concerned, come BACK to the
kitchen for these, please don’t
badger the server; she is only
following her instructions. If
you have a complaint about
what the server is putting on
your plate, complain at the
food office (located at the
back of the cafeteria), NOT to
the server. Another big
problem is moving out of the
way of the line runner. When
you see some guy moving
quickly from out of nowhere
with a big pan of whatever it
is you are all waiting for more
of, MOVE before you get
bumed-it is a guarantee that
this individual will not
sacrifice his hands for your
elbow.
We all have bad days. The
mistake we all make is em
ploying our furor on those not
responsible for our misery.
All we ask is that you think
twice before bringing your
frustrations to the cafeteria
and relieving them by being
obnoxious to the employees.
We will do the same as we are
responsible or liable for the
same kinds of attitudes.
Everyone involved would be
happier if these simple lacts
would be observed. If you
have any helpful comments,
we would be glad to take them
into consideration.
Sincerely,
SA Cafeteria Workers
