STACvi ST£viAWe^S GIRLS LEFT EARLY DUE TO STRIKE The St. Mary’s calendar desig nated aiarch 26th as the final da'y of classes before the spring vaca tion, The 25th and the 26th were to have been calendar days — days when students conld not take ad vantage of the optional absetice policy. JInt a few students had listened to the national news the night be fore and soon spread the Avord of an impending air lines’ strike. Panic set in at St. Mary’s for the girls Avho had plane reservations. Planes were their only means of getting home or to their vacation destination. Students sought help from the faculty and the administration. Soon meetings were held and no tices posted giving any student outside the 1). C., Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina area permission to catch the earliest flights possible. By Tue.sday night, do jieojile had already left. Mr! Jamie King was a big help in re serving rooms a n d arranging transportation. The strike crippled the coun try, but it brought out a few things about St. ilary’s. First of all the rigid jiolicy concerning calendar days gave way during the extenuating circumstance.'^ and girls were able to leave be fore the scheduled time. Faculty and the administration once again demonstrated their willingness to help the students with all of their ])roblenis, not .just academic ones. Also, .students have found that the reckoning time does come as all of the cancelled tests are iiresently being given. GRAD- T)«ASt S4«p ISttWftRcJf editorial The library at St. iVIary’s has one purpose — to serve the students to do this, it gives the students a ipiiet, plea.sant place to study and more than adeipiate resources for a library of its size. Recently, the library has even tried staying open an hour later to alloiv students more time to use its facilities. But how do the students occupy their time in the library? Some can be found studying, some doing research work, some reading mag azines, many talking, and a few even defacing the neiv library'"furiil ture and stealing books. At St. Mary’s? Yes, even here there are -iris IV 10 still do not know the difference betiveen right and wron- or do not act as though they do. ilaiiy jieople ask what difference it makes if they “borrow” a ook without signing it out and then conveniently “forget” to return 1. they never seem to think about what would happen if everv St. fii.v s s IK eiit did this. Ma.ybe these students ivoiild realize the incon venience and seriousness of their act, if they ever found themselves in he same desperate .situation of frantically looking for a book that just if til .■ test on that material the next day. But even sombr^ ^ confronted with this situation, there is the make ‘ they are too callous and irresponsible for it to niaki a definite impression on them.
