About 300 Students Neet
To Petition Food Committee
Context Of Cabinet Petition
“Arsenic and Old Lace’ will
mark the beginning of this
year’s full length production by
the Highland Players. This mod
ern comedy by Joseph Kessel-
ring is to be presented on the
night of December 12, 13 and
14 at the Laurinburg High
School auditorium.
The plot is centered around
the charitable works of Abby
and Martha Brewster (Harriet
Otten and Susan Bridgers) tw'o
deadly charming old maids.
They live in a quiet, serene old
home of the Victorian era, who
on occasion receive visits from
their nephew Mortimer Brew
ster (Dick Stone). Mortimer is
a rather dubious young Drama
critic, who is romantically in
volved with Elaine Harper
(Mary Elizabeth Cobb).
But this normal setting is
somewhat complicated by the
fact that the old maids have the
habit of poisoning elderly gen
tlemen, who have no families.
Poor Mortimer unfortunately
finds out about the benevolent
work of !his aunts and being
the dutiful nephew takes mat
ters into his hands to straighten
out the whole affair. Mortimer
is hampered by the return of
the long lost black sheep of the
family — Jonathan Brewster
(Jim Howell) and his partner a
German quack Dr. Einstien
(Bailey Phelps).
Add Teddy Roosevelt (Charles
Ellis), who is really the madcap
brother of Abby and Martha;
a dumb Irish cop who thinks
himself another Shakespeare
(Norwood Maddry); two zany
cops and their chief (Bob Park-
man, Howard Obbs and Ralph
Allen) an interesting night of
humor will unfold to the audi
ence.
Reserved seat tickets for the
production will soon be avail
able both in the St. Andrews
Student Center (from five un
til seven) and at Barron Mills
and Brooks Superette in Lau
rinburg.

Christmas Caroling
By JEWEL DEANE LOVE
What expresses the spirit of
Christmas more vividly than its
lovely carols? St. Andrews stu
dents will have the opportun
ity to enjoy and share this spi
rit when they go caroling on
December IV. Monday at 8:00
p.m., a large, open-bed truck
will leave from the front of
the student center and carry
carolers to various spots m the
Laurinbui'g area.
Surely this is one way m
which we, being temporary resi
dents of this dty, can share
Christmas with its citizens.
Charters will be given by the
Committee after recommenda
tion by the Activities and Stan
dards sub-committee. Approval
is given by the Student Life
Committee after no less than
three months and within six
months after tentative approval
is gained and the requirements
for a campus organization have
been fuKilled.
A club’s fulfilling of require
ments for a chanter are consid
ered before the granting of it.
The basis for the evaluation is
whether the club has fulfilled
the stated purpose (s) and
aim (s) presented for the ten
tative approval. A second con
sideration is the presentation
of a Constitution and supporting
data including: a financial re
port, a list of the charter mem
bers, attendance records, and
project (s) accomplished.
In the near future the Ac
tivities and Standards sub
committee is to give the rec
ommendations for guides for
the renewal land ithe revoking
of charters gained by campus
organizations.
For any group interested in
organizing a club, ithe first step
is to make application for ten
tative approval by sending a
representative to the Student
Affairs Office to acquire a list
of requirements for clubs and
to make a request for an initial
meeting. At ithis time the name
of a repi’esentative or ithe tem
porary chairman is registered
in this office. Requirements for
tentative approval include: the
proposed name of the organizia-
tion, a statement of the pur
poses (both general and spec
ific aims), a list of in/terested
students, the name of the spon
sor (s), a report on ttie means
planned for -financing 'the club
(statement of the membership
dues if planned), and any other
supporting information. The re
quest for approval is make
to either Dean Blanton or
Dean Hester for presentation to
the Student Life Committee
through the Activities and
Standards Sub-Committee.
It has been reported that
the Radio Oub is about to be
come the first chartered dub
on the St. Andrews campus.
Because the Food Committee
has been unable to initiate any
tangible action from the admin
istration and because the stu
dents have begun to demand
action, the Student Cabinet as
the representative body of the
students and as the executive
authority of the student gov
ernment, is obligated to inform
the administration of the de
plorable situation concerning
the food in the cafeteria and is
responsible for the instigation
of the improvement.
Nutrition
By checking an actual menu
taken from the food services
daily plan with the basic nu
trient values of food offered,
with the basic daily require
ments, and with an explanation
of the reasons for the deficit
and other constructive sugges
tions for improvement, this
chart and explanation prove
with clarity and verity that the
menu is not balanced.
Whether or not the grade of
meat served is U. S. Choice or
Good grade meat should be in
vestigated. At any rate, the
meat is tough, difficult to cut
and chew, and sometimes con
tains a lot of bread which de
tracts from the taste of the
meat. Often the meat is over
cooked; thus, the nutrient val
ues are cooked out. The same
meats, meat dishes, and meat
substitutes are used over and
over in repetitious monotony.
The Cabinet requests more va
riety in meats and better prep
aration of meats.
Students have complained
frequently in regard to the
powdered tea and the poor
quality or taste of the milk;
the Cabinet realizes that the i
problem with the milk is not
present at every meal, but the
inferiority is present too often
to go unexcused.
There is no variety in salads,
and salads are often placed out
to be served with wilted lettuce
or radishes, cucumbers, celery,
and carrots obviously old and
past their nutritive peak. There
should be more fruit salads or
fruit offered to add variety in
the bulk which we need for our
daily diets.
Fried eggs served at break
fast are greasy: fats are the
last and most difficult compon
ent to digest. These fried eggs
are also often not thoroughly
cooked, with the white part
still transparent. Scrambled
eggs are cooked too hard and
water has formed around them.
Obviously, the correct prepara
tion of eggs must be employed
here for students to receive full
benefit from them.
Of great concern to the stu
dents is that the food ^ould
be prepared with less grease or
that the end product (what is
served to us) should contain
much less grease than it now
does. As stated above, this
grease contributes to slow di
gestion of food and general in
efficiency in the natural func
tions of the digestive system.
Potatoes are served practical
ly every noon and evening meal,
every day of the week. The
Cabinet is aware that there is a
state law requiring the serv
ing of potatoes at one meal per
day in public institutions, and
with this in mind, we suggest
with no misgivings that the
prevalence of potatoes be cut
down and that, when served,
they be served with more varie
ty. That instead of powderel

The Student Forum
Congratulations Bill Brinner
and the Radio Club for finally
being allowed to get on the air
—this club can perform a vital
job on campus. Attention Herb
Hanna — how about the cause-
walk or are the students ex
pected to keep that clean too.
Thanks Post Office crew we
seem to at last have an ef
ficient group behind the win
dow. Hats off to the Booster
Club and the Cheerleaders for
the Pep Rally wish the same
could be said for the student
body. We see that Prophet
Foods is learning its ABC’s
again. The Student Government
deserves all our thanks for the
Homecoming good shew, good
shew. Sam you sent us — Char
lie you were never better.
Watch for “Arsenic and Old
Lace” — fihn on Cuba and
Communism sponsored, ahem,
by The Forum. How about let’s
helping that college in Korea
will each of you do something.
Mr. Bennett, excuse me, Doc.
Getting any sleep since the ar
rivals Mr. Johnson, Mr. Stire-
walt, Mr. Hiott . . . whew. Quit
complaining about the line-
breakers, if you won’t say any
thing to these inconsiderate ...
shutup. Will you give blood. Go
team Go. Thank-you Project
committee. Popular song on
campus “You’re in the Army
Now” first because of Cuba now
it’s A.P. It seems the real school
spirit is found in bureau draw
ers. Do we need magazines in
the Student Center. Don’t any
body yell deceit to The Forum
— the administration — that is
— all we could hear last “Quick,
it’s the Health Inspector,” for
shame you Christians, ah well
— Excellence for Christ”!
