'^'^SANJURO’^ To Be Shown
Sunday Night In Avinger
Land Development
(Continued)
To the discriminating
Japanese audience (yes folks,
there are Japanese movie
goers whose main staple in
life is not old Godzilla versus
Megalon flicks) the name
Toshiro Mifune rings that
same familiar bell as Clint
Eastwood or Charles Bron
son’s here at home. Mifune
made his namein the classic
Seven Samurai (also known
for being seven hours long in
the uncut version), as the
devil-may-care, usually
drunken samurai warrior who
nonetheless manages to kill
half the marauding bandits.
That film was directed, as
have many of the films
starring Mifune, by Akira
Kurosawa, and the two names
have become almost
synonymous in Japanese
adventure films.
“Sanjuro” is loosely based
on the Clint Eastwood
“spaghetti westerns” such as
“A Fist Full of Dollars” and
“For a Few Dollars More”
with Mifune playing the man
with no name and substituting
swords for six guns, pagodas
for adobe, and Japanese
peasants for Mexicans.
Mifune dircted the film
himself- his first effort
without association with
Kurosawa. The finished
product is leaner on dialogue
and plot than the previous
works (who keeps up with
subtitles anyway?), but filled
with the stylized action that
has made smaurai movies a
gigantic attraction in Japan.
An altogether different way

The land-use plandone in
1976 for the commercial and
resiential development of this
property took into con
sideration the recom
mendations of the 1971-72 land-
use study (mentioned above),
and also an extensive housing
study of Laurinburg and
Scotland County done in 1975-
76 by a Washington, D.C.
consultant firm.
Based on projected growth
rates and community
demographics they concluded
that the Laurinburg com
munity could absorb an ad
ditional 450 housing units
(both single-family and multi
family dwellings) in the next
10 year period in addition to its
existing housing.
The 1976 land development
plan also took into con

To The Students:
The College Union Board (CUB) is off and rolling at the
beginning of Spring Term and plans to keep on rolling with
student involvement.
The Fall Term brought “quantity” to the atmosphere at St.
Andrews but the “quality” wasn’t consistent in activities.
There was virtually something every weekend at St. Andrews
except for 2 days and some of the parties began to look like a
duplicate of the week before.
This is not to say the fall was a tailure. in my opimun ine
student body has taken an interest in entertainment this year
that has been subdued in past years. The students of Winston-
Salem came up with the “Toga Party” idea, Wilmington had a
wine and cheese party and also a hot dog roast in ttie woods.
Granville came up with one of the most creative Halloween
parties anyone could imagine. The “Highland Christmas-
Crash” brought in so many people that the next party they
sponsor will be an outdoor affair. Student involvement in the
“Choice” and “Sea Level” concerts was outstanding. Most of
all, the two concerts showed that the students could nin a
concert, act in an orderly manner and clean-up afterwards.
Concord and Highlands finished the term out by sponsoring the
Qiristmas Dance at Pinehurst. The dance was quite
controversial from the beginning, but as it turned out many
people enjoyed the new setting and waddled away with more
than their share of food. The only disappointing part of this
dance, which I take sole personal blame for, was the band
“Eaze”. “Eaze” was definitely a good rock band, but lacked
variety in their music, and would sound much better at a beer
bash than at a fonnal. My apologies to the Concord-Highland
students.
In January the CUB went to work with Kathy Benzaquin to
review the total entertainment at St. Andrews. As a result an
Analyzing Committee set up a new structure for CUB to
function under next fall. The overall plan of this new structure
is to get more students involved in entertainment and to work
in the area of their interest. For example, if your interest lies
in discos, you would join the “disco” committee, if your
interest lies in Farrago you would join the Farrago committee,
etc. The new structure was approved by the CUB last week to
be forwarded as part of the By-Laws for next year, and to be
submitted for approval when next years new Cabinet takes
office.
As a result, CUB is cranking things up for the spring in hopes
that students will follow with as much entiiusiasm. The first
weekend back brought the band “Crossfire” into the small
gym. Many students felt this was one of the best bands they
had heard all year, even though to everyone’s amazement,
“Crossfire” had only been toep^*’''r months, and .St
Andrews was the first college in which they had performed.
A Statement
To The Students
Valentine’s Day brought about the “carnation craze” and
brought lots of smiles to lots of faces. The day finished up with
a disco in the cafeteria that featured A1 Houston as the DJ. This
night also showed that students and the CUB care about
cleaning up. For the first time in a long time CUB had a clean
up crew there, with the supervision of Peg Kays, and left the
cafeteria in an orderly atmosphere. I would like to thank Gray
Fox, Peg Kays and Benny Cox for their help and a chance to let
us prove ourselves. A special thanks to Bill Brennen and the
board members that stayed til almost 2:00 AM cleaning.
February 17 followed with Public Domain at Farrago. It was
only a matter of minutes before students forgot about the
basketball loss and witnessed one of the greatest Farragos to
hit St. Andrews. Public Domain’s variety in music and
excellent showmanship kept the students singing, dancing and
clapping til one in the morning.
The funny thing is that there is more to come. And its better.
This weekend will feature a disco. The following week Orange
dorm is co-sponsoring with CUB a dance with “Sutters Gold
Street Band.” If you liked Public Domain, don’t miss this.
March 9fli is featuring the ever popular dance band “Seventh
of May.” This group features one female and two male lead
singers, and four back up singers that blend the old and new
music all night long.
If weather pennits this band will be the first band to play
outdoors this spring. If bad weather comes upon us, this band
will play in Farrago, as the small gym is not acoustically
acceptable, and hinders the true performance of the
entertainers.
The month of April will bring “Extravaganza” and we are
looking at two Farragos that will bring Mike Williams, and the
group “CuUowee,” which is similar to Public Domain.
The month of May will end with Baccanalia and the
Launching. The Launching will feature the “Original Drifters,”
providing they are back from an April toiu- in Europe. CUB will
receive a confirmation on this sometime this week. However, if
the Drifters are unable to be back. Talent Attractions has
promised us “The Tams” as the Drifters replacement. The
Launching will be unique this year, as it will feature some type
of entertainment during the “Drifters” or “Tams” break. CUB
is hoping to book the ever talented Cy Timmons and Atlanta.
CUB would like to thank all of the students for their interest
and input in entertainment this year. CUB is looking at an
exciting spring and with your help, entertainment at St.
Andrews can keep on the right track. Special thanks to the
Physical Education Department for their concern and help in
entertainment this year.
Sincerely,
Craig “Michigan” Withrow
CUB President
P.S. Any creative ideas for St. Patricks Day?! ?
P.S.S. My office will be open 9:00-12:00 noon Tuesday and
Iliursday for any advice and help for the remainder of Spring

mendations contained in a
land-use study of the 250 acres
done in January, 1976 by a
Winter Term course taught by
Dr. Arthur L. Applegate,
Assistant Professor of
Biology. This study looked at
enviromental as well as
economic concerns in regards
to suggested ultiization of the
land, and according to Frye
“it was very useful”.
In addition to the
development of the Holly
Square Shopping Center and
of multi-family dwellings
(mentioned above) the
planincludes sites for ap
proximately 350-single-family
dwelings in the interior of the
tract. A surveyor is working
presently to lay off the roads
through this develoment,
which have l>een designed in
such a way as to limit thru-
traffic through the area. Most
are winding and end in cul-de-
sacs. The proposed lot sizes
are no smaller than a Vi an
acre, a sie the board
requested. Removal of trees
would be done “very selec
tively” by the developer Frye
said, and if feasible all utility
wriing would be placed un
derground.
Included in the plan are
several greenways to be used
as biking, walking, and
jogging trails, and there is a
connection to the campus by
greenway which students
could utilize. Presently there
are no plans for any low-
income housing within the
area.
Also included in the layout
of this land-use plan were sites
for apartments, a rest home
complex and anintermediate
care facility for the elerly
which Frey noted they
“haven’t looked at as being
independent from the
educational opportunities of
the College.” He mentioned
student internships, work
opportunities, and some in
volvement with the Allied
Health Care program as being
possible advantages of this, as
ell as answering a need in the
community andproviding
income for the collegee
In the center of the
residential area a site was
placed for a recreation center
that would feature outdoor
tennis courts and an outdoor
swimming pool, as a need for
such a center might exist in
the completed residential
community, Frye noted.
But he stressed these are
simply conceptual ideas that
have not yet reached a con-
