Freshmen girls leisure by the side of their dormitory swimming
pool. Pine Acres is Indeed a new experience In dorm life.
School Begins, Pine Acres Dorm
Has Pool, Shortages, And Fun
Freshmen AdjustTo College,
Prepare For Serf Week
By JOHN APPERSON,
UNCE STAFF WRITER
A brick drive, flanked by
aichlng pecan trees, passes
the quiet pool and reaches the
white masonry building shaded
tall, long-needle pines. The
sign says “Pine Acres Motel”,
but it Is now part of St. Andrews
campus, heretofore not noted
for shady trees or swimming
pools.
Because of a space shortage,
the main building of the spraw
ling motel is now a dormitory
for 27 coeds.
When asked what he felt about
having all these girls in his
motel, manager Jerry Riggins
said, "It’s a new experience.”
He went on to say that he had
no particular problems, at least
not yet.
Some of the girls living in the
leased motel felt differently
however. Mary Fletcher Par
rott, a freshman from Kinston,
said she was not particularly
disappointed but -that the dis
tance to school presented some
jiroblem. She worries about the
times when she will "get stran
ded."
One of Mary’s classmates,
Joyce Thompson, from McLean,
thought the setup was
‘‘nice” but lamented the com
plete lack of closet space. She
especially relished having ac
cess to the Pines Acres pool.
In the regular motel lobby
(the girls have their own en
trance and lounge) the usual
Sroup of people was milling
^ound. One man, a salesman
frona Charlotte, volunteered to
the chaplain for the group,
hen questioned about his cler-
cal experience, he sheepishly
^ mitted that he had none. Had
® seen any pretty ones? “Just
drived,” he smiled.
In charge of the experiment
me Acres are Dick and
,™a Yeatman, both 23. Dick,,
completing 4 years in the
picked St. Andrews to be-
8in his freshman year,
tiile attending summer ses-
npoH* the new “Dorm”
wd a housemother. He and
Linda got together and deci
ded it would be a challenge and
a financial help to accept the
job.
Linda is a lively brunette who
always loolcs like she Is hurry
ing somewhere. And she usua
lly is. Dick, keeping an Im
perturbable air, has to be a fa
ther and friend to the girls,
while also driving the busses
back and forth to the main
campus. He will carry a re
gular freshman load while Linda
plans to take “a course or two”.

Tests, tests, meetings, more
tests, etc. . . This seems to be
most St. Andrews Freshmen’s
general conception of college.
Even though the freshman
class was divided Into three
parts for orientation, their unity
has been demonstrated through
their ability to survive such
obstacles as introduction to
serfdom, handbook test, regis
tration, traditional donning
and beaniewearlng, the invasion
of upper classmen, and the
realization that one must sign
out wherever she goes.
Having viewed “The Immense
World,” freshmen take the
most notes, pay the best atten
tion, and grasp for the under
standing of the “Big Bang The
ory.”
Now, completely covered with
sore unknown muscles, the
freshmen have been introduced
to physical education St. An
drews style: 20 slt-ups, 1
pull-up, and 1/2 squat thrusts.
The lines have been hot with
phone calls home , . . “please
put $50 in the bank. My books
cost a fortune.”
Eating in the cafeteria be
comes a true way of life where
Those who went before now take revenge on the Class of 1970.
the student body gathers in
brute force. It is here that
you see that cute junior boy
or that precious sophomore girl.
The sophomore class once
again reigns supreme over —
their lowly serfs. The formal
presentation of this statement
took place Thursday evening as
the silenced serfs honored the
majestic Knight of St. Andrews,
sophomore president Danny
Beerman, as he was rowed to
the banks of the campus dam.
Full of enthusiam the fresh
men are facing their week of
servitude. Entering as serfs,
they will emerge as Lords and
Ladies of St. Andrews. A re
ception and breakfast in their
honor Is scheduled for Monday
morning.
Each day has been designat
ed and designed specifically for
special events, those serfs who
are intolerant to their sopho
more rulers will answer to the
Beanie and the Inquisition Com
mittee on Saturday, September
10.
A dance is planned in honor
of the knighted serfs on that
same evening.
Freshmen, here Is just a
word to the wise. Obey your
great sophomore leaders. If
one cannot swim, learn. Be
prepared to rise early and to
go to bed late. Keep your
walking boots handy and have
a wonderful time.
Honor Code Adherence Personal
was the honored speaker.
In the near future every St.
Andrews student will be faced
with the decision whether or not
to pledge his personal ad
herence In support of the new
ly-accepted Honor Code.
All students will have the
opportunity in their suites to
sign the Honor Code. Students
are requested and encouraged
to sign the code, but no stu
dents presently at St. Andrews
are required to sign the code.
Next year’s freshmen will be
confronted with the code at the
first of their matriculation and
will enter St. Andrews under
the Honor Code.
Since the 1966-67 catalogue
with the Honor Code in it was
not In circulation at the time
of this year’s freshmen’s en
rollment, today’s freshmen are
not automatically under the Ho
nor Code. They will be given
the choice to sign the code as
will the upperclassmen.
