The only reason I can think of is that
some men want to experience everything at
least once. And you’ve got to admit that the
nnlv place you can find pure, modest, and
:Slly acceptable girls is at St. Mary’s. But
don’t worry because Im sure this wont hap

Student Government
Dell Parker
As you know, the Student Government
at St. Mary’s has been trying to put more
emphasis on our Honor System. We hope
that by strengthening it in several areas we
can have a much more effective system.
One area of concern on the part of many
students was that some faculty separated desks
while testing and also made out separate
tests for different class sections. Many stu
dents felt that this was indicative of a lack
of trust on the part of the faculty.
However, at the last faculty meeting on
October 4, Dr. Morrison brought this matter
to the attention of the faculty. The results
of this meeting were very good. The faculty
would like to assure the students that they
support Student Government very strongly
and that they would like to help us strengthen
the Honor Code in any way possible.
The faculty also brought out some good
reasons for their classroom procedures. Ap
proximately six years ago, by a request from
the students, the school policies were changed
so that it was mandatory for a different test
to he given to each section. This was done
because to prohibit discussion of the tests
with other students would be demolishing an
important basis for learning. It was also
pointed out that discussions and interest vary
in each section. A conscientious teacher
would naturally make out a different test to
best fit the situation of each particular section.
The seating arrangement is also for the
best interest of the student. Many students
are conscious of and many times annoyed or
distracted by the person next to them. Teach
ers feel that by separating the desks the stu
dent is more comfortable and not aware of
or interrupted by the person sitting next to
her during a test.
The faculty feels that classroom procedures
have been changed and it is now up to the
discretion of the faculty member to choose his
method by taking all situations into view.

3ademic Dean
President of academic affairs.
Becoming interested both in
more challenging work and in
returning to North Carolina,
he came to St. Mary’s.
“I’ve known about St. Mary’s
all my life,” commented Dr.
Miller, “mainly from past dat
ing experiences.”
Although he has no personal
advisees, he says “My job is
to help the students graduate.
I’d like to help everyone.”
Stated Dr. Miller: “I really
enjoy being a dean, but I
wouldn’t want to give up teach
ing, either. I am thoroughly en
joying every aspect of St.
Mary’s.”
