Togetherness
St. Andrews
The split board screen around
the inner court of Orange Hall
pives the passerby the idea
that there is something unique
about this residence hall. And
rightly so because Orange Hall
i,s now the locale for an experi
ment in a new concept in stu
dent life at St. Andrews.
Forty freshman girls, one
freshman boy, and 47 upper-
class students make up the ros
ter of Orange Hall. In addition
to the 40 freshman girls there
are eight upperclass girls who
act as counselors, as compared
ru the resident a.ssistants which
are found in the other dormi
tories.
A critical housing shortage to
accommodate qualified female
applicants whose number ex
ceeded that of qualified male
applicants led school officials
to decide to capitalize upon an
fieshmen girls were contacted
by school officials and were told
of the experiment that is to be
undertaken and were asked if
tliey would care to participate.
Response was greater than ex
pected and a waiting list has
even been created. The girls
who w-3re chosen were accept
ed on the ba:is of their total
'ligh school record, in both aca
demic and citizenship areas.
The freshman girls in Or
ange Hall enjoy the privilege
of unlimited nights out dur
ing the week, as well as un
limited class cuts up to the reg
ulation 15 per cent. All is not
as apple-pie as it may seem.
These girls are subject to the
same restrictions of academic
warning and probation as any
other student should their
grade level fall below the es
tablished minimum; they are
also subject to disciplinary ac
tion sliould they overcut a class.
Last year a group of pros
pective seniors were asked to
participate in this experiment,
in the area concerning unlim
ited class cuts. Those who

or men's residence. j (Continued on Page 4)
290 Fearless Frosh Register
Orientation for the class of
'66 of St. Andrews Presbyteri
an College began Sunday, Sep
tember 9th, as approximately
.^90 freshman students gather
ed for the first of their col
lege days. Parents and friends
accompanied the freshman to
help in the process of getting
settled. Calmness prevailed de
spite the huge job of transport
ing personal belongings into the
dormitories. Barely settled into
, rooms, the freshmen along
with their parents set forth in
search of their faculty sponsors
wr the actual beginning of a
week Of preparation for life at
Andrews.
With the departure of par
ents on Sunday evening, there
earn© to the members of the
Jreshman class the sense of a
egmning — the launching oi
eir personality into tlie swing
° college life, perhaps a more
epped-up swing than anything
experienced heretofore. Those
'vho had never
PUS before gradually
the period of
'nent at the
the cam-
passed
amaze-
modern architec-
’re and newness of the cam-1 constantly
s and its buildings into a i
® ^slight of the campus. I
Soon enough, the freshmen
began to realize that the ma
jor step was getting started.
As the placement tests, dorm
meetings, and getting to know
one another began, college life
became more I'eal and ceased
being the far-off dream of high
school. Some resolutely declar
ed that they knew the hai’dest
part was yet to come as they
looked forward to registration
and the beginning of classes.
Eager to learn of the aca
demic side of St. Andrews,
many questions were posed to
the upperclassmen on campus.
Christianity and Culture has
been discussed mahy times with
varying degrees of awe and
excitement. The social side of
campus life began as the east
and west side of the campus
merged at Ihe Student Center.
Generally, everyone has decid
ed to adjust to college life, and
now the process of doing so
has come into effect. The class
of ’66 seems to be preparing
for a four year stretch of
changing, growing, and matur
ing in a new college that is
meeting the chal
lenges it faces, and is grow
ing with the student.
Talent Show
Successful
A well-executed talent
followed by spirited square
dancing in the Student Center’s
front lawn became the season’s
first exciting negation to the
belief that all St. Andrew’s
“firsts” occurred last year.
Sponsored by the Student
Center Board and the Intra
mural Sports Council, the show
mainly featured freshmen and
transfer student talent. The
square dancing — a sudden
idea of Master of Ceremonies
Rufus Hackney — was an ac
tivity for all.
“For the first time in all this
school’s activities there was a
spirit as never before,” Nan-
ci Crowell, Student Center
Board president, said about the
evening’s history-making event.
“I was very pleased with the
talent displayed,” she contin
ued, “but I am happiest be
cause of the aroused school
spirit. We were a real student
body that night — not just a
group of individuals.”
Informality seemed the eve
ning’s key for the entertainers
and their audience and later
for the dance caller and his ap
proximately 120 swinging part
ners.
Pianist Charles Ellis and
drummer Don Diaz, both sen
iors, opened the show with sev
eral pieces, including an orig
inal number. Jean Parker, a
transfer student from Carolina,
tap danced to “Some Like It
Hot.”
Senior Mai1;ha Kinney sang
“Misty” and “Summertime.”
David Porter, a freshman, pre
sented some of his favorite folk
songs.
A novelty number, “What’re
You Gonna Wear to the Wed
ding,” was the comical talent
display of freshman Bonnie
Williams.
Carol Jackson, freshman,
sang with her accordion ac
companiment “Blue Moon” and
“Wooden Heart.” Carol Jack
son, freshman, accompanied by
Betty Daniels, senior, presented
a song and dance routine.
“Frankie & Johnnie” and “St.
Louis Blues” were the musical
note from juniors George Britt
and his harmonica and Charles
Yeargan at the piano.
