outstanding musician and is

sic circles as an excellent mu

girl tennis teams went unde
feated for three straight yeai’s.
His boys teams won the Inter
collegiate Athletic Conference
tennis championships. His ten
nis record was an astounding
48 wins to 3 losses. He was
Georgia’s tennis coach of the
year in 1958-59 and 60. This
record will be hard to beat
in the future, especially in
Georgia.
Mr. Hackney accepted the
job as Athletic Director at St.
Andrews and plans for inter
collegiate competition in bas
ketball, baseball, tennis, a n d
possibly wrestling.
Mr. Hackney chose Physical
Education for his vocation be
cause of this love for sports
and the abundant opportuni
ties in working with young
Deonle. His favorite hobbies
are hunting, fishing, and golf.
Mr. Hackney is looking for
ward to working with the stu
dents of St. Andrews and
hopes for a very successful
Physical Education Program.
St. Andrews students will
participate in intercollegiate
sports. During the winter
months there will be basket
ball at the National Guard
Armory. In the spring baseball
will be played in the Legion
Field. Within a few weeks the
six all weather tennis courts
on campus will be finished.
Also, there is to be goif at
Scotch Meadows. These are the
few sports that we will have
this year. Others being plan
ned. As St. Andrews grows so
will our sports. This will also
be determined by the interest
the individual students show in
+he sports activities.
In reading through the St.
Andrews catalogue anj student
landbcok one encounters the
,erm “student life” quite oft-
'n; it is a simple term and a
jommon term but it is also
one of the most often rnis-
nderstood terms used in ref-
srence to college. Many times
:he student himself does not
■knew clearly what the term
designates. Student life does
not refer only to dances and
parties which the student takes
part in, but it covers all those
things v/hich a student does
lutjicle the classroom. It is
concerned Vv'ith all the other
activities v.'hich take place on
he college campus that, along
witli the knowledge the stu-
'.ent gains in the ciassroom,
make for the w'ell-rounded cit
izen.
Everyone knows that all
work and no play makes one
1 dull person. Here at St.
Andrews we would do well to
think of each day as composed
partly of work, of play, and
of prayer. Making one’s day
a combination of these three
results in an interesting life,
T profitable life, a good life.
Exactly how does the pro
gram of student life here at
our college work to contribute
to the complete education of
each student? Through dances,
intramurals, the student health
program, and other facets the
administration hopes to create
an atmosphere conducive to
both classroom learning and
s o c ial v/ell-being. Personal
problems can be talked over
with one’s section leader, big
brother or sister, members of
the faculty and administration,
or any one of a number of
other people. Each of these
persons is ready and willing
to help anyone who has prob
lems that might interfere with
his learning and prevent his
having mental and spiritual
peace.
Student life is the tying to
gether and the inter-relating of
classroom and social life. Al-

though we have said that the
jampus life program refers to
hose activities which take
place outside the classroom, it
would be absurd to say thot
the two-educational life anc
social life - are and remain
separate and apart. The
things that one learns in the
classroom are useful in his so
cial life and vice-versa.
Briefly, the student life pro
gram is tlae means by which
one’s education is completed;
it is the Classroom outside the
classroom. How lopsided we
would be if all we did was
sit in a classroom and take in
the formal knowledge given
out there. Through its activi
ties the campus life program
attempts to even-up the scales
of one’s learning; there is no
denying that more than formal
'earning is necessary for sur-
i^ival today.
Here at St. Andrews the
jtudant Center Board w'ith
Larry Fowler as president is
made up of student represent
atives and will work in close
conjunction with the Student
Center Director, Miss Nancy
Brown, to provide activities in
the center which in the course
of the year they hope appeal
to every student in the student
body. In addition to these plan
ned activities the center offers
indoor games and snack-bar
facilities.
The student center is not
the only place in which stu
dent life can be rounded out.
fntramurals, student publicaj-
tions and resident hall pro
grams are some of the other
means by which it is hoped that
each student can come to be
a happy and usexul person.
Already sclieduled is a con
cert series which is going to
feature some line artists and
performers through out the
year. But in the other depart
ments - the intermurals, stu
dent center activities and pub
lications - your ideas and de
sires are to be tne guiding
forces. Your ideas and wishes
can be expressed through
your section leaders, student
center representatives or can
be carried directly to the Dean
of Students if one so desires.
The sentiments of the ad
ministration and faculty are
that each student should be
treated as a mature person un
til he shows that he cannot
be treated as such. This idea
of maturity is carried over to
the student life program: a
mature person expresses his
wishes in a manner most like
ly to allow him to have those
y.'ishes granted. Lot us hear

Thoughts Before
Entering College
By M. PRESTON STONE
What does the, if you’ll par
don the redundancy, new fresh
man really feel upon entering
college? It’s not easy to put
all the various thoughts and
questions of some 250 people
into a small newspaper article.
Everyone of us undoubtedly
has a small twinge of anxiety
or apprehension toward this
new “college life.” Everyone of
us will express it in a dif
ferent way though. Some will
laugh and joke, feigning light
heartedness; some will be sol
emn; some will try not to
think about all the new re
sponsibilities suddenly heaped
upon them.
I think it is safe to assume
that each individual, no mat
ter how hesitant, is really look
ing forward to this new ad
venture. For some tliis is a
chance to “get a new start,”
to really study and do better
scholastically. For others this
adventure is a wonderful op
portunity to meet new people,
develop new ideas and think
sreatively witnout restraint.
Many, in fact I would
magine all of us, have at var-
.ous times during the past
A'eeks pondered the question,
Wonder what I’ll be doing
this time next week?” or at
lea?,t a question of similiar
nature. The answers to these
thoughts are slowly appearing
— although not necessarily in
the forms expected. It’s quite
in experience to take care of
our own laundry or decide how'
to decorate a room or to meet
for the first time persons who
are to be our companions for
he next nine months.
No matter in what fashion
these ansv/ers appear to us,
we will accept them as non-
chatantly as possible, trying
to lull ourselves into a sense
of well-being and a deep de
votion to our studies, sporting
our newfound ego-defense
mechanisms. When all the
tests have been completed and
aach person has the first entry
on his “college record” we may
slowly begin to realize the
great adventures and even
greater challenges that will
face us in the forthcoming
years. But this is a bit of
long distance thinking; it is
the present which concerns
us — What will those first
few days of class reveal; How
well will each individual make
lis place in the Class of '65?
You will add your thoughts
to these few and perhaps this
will add to the total concept.
With a bit of “blood, sweat,
ind tears” we are starting col
lege — I wonder how it will
be four years from now.

Yes, realizing that this has
oeen a once-in-a-lifetime ex
perience in more ways tiian
one, and quite necessarily es
sential, one can be thankful
for the New Student Orienta
tion Week that was so recently
survived. Due to the diligent
hard work on the parts of
countless leaders and the co
operation of you new students,
everyone is continually eating,
meeting, and sleeping on a sur
prisingly regular schedule. It
is almost over, this period of
“How do you do, St. An

ces and buildings will soon
all be familiar as old friends,
to be remembered and eherish-
