14 Students Restricted
(Editor’s Note: This is print
ed in an effort to help clarify
the expressed misunderstand
ing involving recent violations
of some social regulations.)
Due to an infraction of stated
rules of the college ten men and
four women have been placed
on various restrictions in ac
cord with student government
decisions.
An indictment of the infrac
tion was passed down from the
Dean of Students office to the
respective dormitory councils
that were involved, "the infrac
tion concerned an off-campus
party that involved drinking.
The dormitory councils were
given the right of disciplinary
action, and took steps almost
immediately.
The first action was taken
by the council of Orange dorm
itory on October sixth and
again on the ninth. The stu
dents were charged with attend
ing an improperly chaperoned
party, and with drinking, the
latter constituting an infrac
tion of the rule stating that one
may not come on campus “un
der the influence of alcohol.”
It was not established that the
students had or had not been
drinking. They were tried un
der the stipulations of the Hon
or Code. There were seven men
involved, and they were placed
on disciplinary probation, (this
involving study hall five nights
a week) and restricted from
running for student govern
ment, this to last until mid-
semester. They were also given
five demerits. However, they
were allowed the week end of
October 21 and 22 free to attend
a dormitory function.
A meeting was held in Con
cord Hall on October 12. Four
women were charged with an in
fraction of the drinking rule
and were placed on disciplinary
probation for the remainder of
the semester.
The disciplinary action was
handled individually and With
out consultation by the dormi
tory councils, and, as a mem
ber of the Mecklenburg Dorm
council stated: “The unclarity
of the rule at the time of the
oarty was taken into consider
ation.”
There is action pending on

Christ be the center of his life
here on the college campus as
well as the different encoun

said Betty Ruth Barker, asso
ciation president, ‘"rhe shield
symbolizes the shield of faith,”
she continued, “for with faith
a person can resist all tempta

face.”

CutFrosh
In order that freshmen stu
dents may have an opportunity
to participate in certain off-
campus activities without jeop
ardy for probation or other dis
ciplinary action, the Faculty
Executive Committee has au
thorized one cut from each class
pending establishment of the
proper number of allowable
cuts in keeping with grade av
erages as provided for on pages
13-14 of the Student Handbook.
Each such cut, under this
change, ntay be used only for
participation in off-campus ac
tivities officially sanctioned by
the Faculty Executive Commit
tee. Questions as to whether
certain events are “officially
sanctioned” should be referred
to the Dean of the Faculty just
as are other matters which re
late to aoaidemic ciam a^bgeaoes.

newspaper-naming contest with
her entry, “'The Lance.” Selec

entry “because it is in keeping
with the St. Andrews teams,
the Knights, and with the year^
book, ‘The Lamp and Shield.’
The name also denotes a wea

tion of Christianity. Its esti
mated cost is between ten and
fifteen thousand dollars.
Mr. Willet consulted with Dr.

authority of Charlotte, North
Carolina, on the iconography.
Following this, Mr. Willet
sketched and planned the mosa
ic with the assistance of O’Dell
Prather, one of his employees.
The actual construction was
done by Messrs. Bertli and
Casureli, also employees of Mr.
Willet. Bertli and Casureli are
