PAGE 8 THE LANCE NOVEMBER 18, ige Frats Focus Of Open Dialogue World famous pianist Grant Johannesen discussing program before liis recital at the National Guard Armory. At the Cabinet meeting Octo ber 26, an open discussion was held for students to voice their opinions on the question of frat ernities at St. Andrews. Thirty- three concerned students w ere present. Paul Shane presented the idea of a group of male students to es tablish a brotherhood of men: “We desire to establish a brotherhood of men with similar interests, who enjoy each other’s company, as a medium for responsible connec tion with and between the college and the community.” Shane and this group of thir teen boys feel that the present suite system is not meeting the needs of a part of the student body. They want to rent a house in town as a place of relaxation and recreation. Organizing and maintaining the house would help the boys learn responsibility. Because the house would be in the Laurinburg com munity, it could be used as a means of communication with the com munity and as a gradual transi tion from campus life Into the everyday responsibilities of a private citizen, reported Shane. James Van Pelt, transfer stu dent from Duke University, pre sented an argument against the Parapsychologist Comes Through, Dr. Rhine Speaks Dr. J. B. Rhine, nationally re nowned specialist in parapsycholo gy or extrasensory perception, will be on St. Andrews campus Sunday, November 27.

He pointed out the bad side of fra ternity "rush,” the stereotyping of brothers, and the way a fra ternity splits a campus, Va n Pelt also mentioned that statistically fraternities are de clining throughout the country. The entire text of his argument against fraternities is in the Christian Council’s first issue of DIALOGUE. Professor Ludlow pointed out that fraternities contradicted their reason for existence because one cannot institutionalize brotherhood any more than one can Institution alize friendship.

Pedal Breaks, Cricket Chirps Joliannesen Still Outstanding Last Friday night students, fac ulty, and Laurinburg citizens wit nessed an unforgettable concert by famed pianist Grant Johanne sen. As preview to an Interesting night, Johannesen’s plane arrived late In Fayetteville. He caught a taxi from Fayetteville to Laur- rinburg, arriving here in the early hours of Friday morning. When the musician went to the National Guard Armory to practice Friday afternoon, the armory was locked. It was Veteran’s Day! When he and a St. Andrews personnel finally got into the building, no piano was in the big auditorium. A piano was eventually transpor ted to the armory. After a candle-light banquet in the St, Andrews cafeteria, Johannesen and those interested seemed ready for the concert. Almost tripping up the stairs of the stage, the artist sat down at th( piano and music filled the armory During his first piece, Johanne^ sen’s music was accompanied b; that of a cricket. While he was playing his secor selection, the foot pedals of th piano fell off. Johannesen fac his audience and asked if the plan doctor was in the house! An In termission was called. The fo( pedal was fixed, and the cricket we found and put outside. Despite the unfortunate “hap penings” Johannesen filled thear^ mory with music from the majo: periods of music history: Baroque Classical, Romantic, Impression 1st, and Twentieth Century. Contrary to the turn of event: of Friday night, Johanneson’s Sa. turday workshop at St. Andrew; got under way with few com^ plications. aud JoHnMeYer.
