Faculty Passes
New Schedule
For the first time in years,
the St. Andrews calendar is in
for a radical change, one which
might result in a radical change
in summer plans for many stu
dents.
After a great deal of delibera
tion among the administration,
January 11 a new early arrival
schedule was submitted before
the faculty for a vote. The mea
sure passed!
It now appears that the old
question of coming back to exams
after Christmas has been re
solved. Next year registration
will be around the 30thof August,
with first semester exams ending
before Christmas on the 21st.
of December. Though this means
a tight work schedule from Aug
ust 23 through December 21st.,
(only one holiday during the en
tire period, Saturday classes still
continued) it also means an exten
sive break from the end of the
first semester to the be-
ning of the second semester .
(2nd. semester registration be
ginning around the 17th of Jan
uary.
The second semester calendar
looks about the same, with spring
holidays falling about half way
through the semester. The se
cond semester exams would end
early in May, thus allowing our
students to enter the summer
job market before many other
colleges have begun exams.
The effects this new schedule
will have on students can be ra
ther accurately estimated.
1) Summer jobs must be dropp
ed at an earlier date; however
since the second semester will
end earlier, the above handicap
may be offset by entering the job
market earlier.
2) There will be more pres,
sure from students to find some
method of abolishing Saturday
classes; 1st. semester is already
hard enough on many students
with the few holidays that exist;
it will become harder with four
months of only Sunday to rest
from school work for an entire
semester. There are many ad
vantages to abolishing Saturday
classes, but there are also many
hardships in reshaping an entire
curriculum. This is an issue,
which if students wish to see
become a vital topic of debate,
must be discussed among the
students and faculty.
3) The pressure of having to re
turn to exams after two weeks of
removal from the academic at.
mosphere will be alleviated; how
ever there is the shattering
thought of the possibility of exams
and term papers both due in the
week before Christmas.
5) Finally, for summer school
students it is going to be a long
year ~ good luck.
This schedule is still open to
debate among the students. Use
this opportunity to express your
thoughts pro and con. The new
schedule was conceived for our
benefit; if you disagree, say so
now. Next year will be too late.
Below is a copy of the proposed
calendar changes as submitted by
the Committee on Calendar
Revision.

"Bonnie Lass
Disapproval
Begins Now/
BY Nick Gordon
In this issue of The Lance
there appears an article on the
proposed calendar for next year.
Like so many other policy
matters around here this comes
as a surprise to the students.
Ever since the opening of St,
Andrews, there has been a lack
of understanding between the ad
ministration and the students.
The administration asks “What
is wrong?” Why is there the
lack of unity and school spirit
that we would like to have on
the campus? Why do the stu
dents, for the most part, not
seem to care really what is hap-
pening on campus?
The answer, I believe, lies in
the plantive gripe of a student
the other night. “We have no
where to take our problems and
ideas. The administration
doesn’t care what we think.”
The answer given to this plea
is always the same. We have
student leaders, elected student
representatives, and administra-
tive officials to represent the stu.
dent interest.
My answer to this is verysim.
pie. If these leaders and repre.
sentatives are the answer then
why doesn’t it work, and why does
the administration have to ask
“What is wrong?” If these
organizations for the student in.
terest were effective then there
would be no need for anyone to
feel that he or she has no place
to express his feeling and that if
by chance he does express it
that they wiU be weighed fairly.
It is easy to see that the stu
dent body is without a doubt the
largest majority on campus and
if their opinion is not expressed
then the school can never reach
the position of prominence that we
would like. Matters that effect
the student body as a whole
should be brought to the atten
tion of the student body. Mea
sures should be taken to insure
total knowledge of the pros and
con of the issue by the entire
student body.
From this the student hodv
should be allowed to express
their feelings in elections. Once
policy is decided upon it should
be explained to the student body
with logical reasoning.
By these methods there would
be no excuse for policies not to
be the expression of tlie student
body. Any issue that cannot
be brought before the student
body in this way, excepting mat
ters that effect the administra
tion of the school, tuition and
faculty matters and course offer
ings, is bad policy by the very
nature of the fact that it cannot
stand the test of student criti
cism.
