Drawdy Elected Frosh President,
Ferrell, Kvingedal Win Positions
Freshmen elections are over,
and the leaders are now busy in
the newly-acquired positions.
By an overwhelming majority,
Butch Drawdy became president
of the class of 1970.
Drawdy’s idea for creating unity
stems from the concept of an exe
cutive committee, composed of
representatives from each dormi
tory. These persons will present
ideas to their classmates for
their opinions.
Concerning class activities, the
new class president says the class
will have the usual dances and hay-
rides plus additional projects such
as school clean-up week and spon
soring freshmen atheletes.
When asked about high school
positions which he held, he listed
the major ones, such as vice-
president of the National Honor
Society, treasurer of the senior
class, captain of the varsity bas
ketball team and their most val
uable player, and outstanding sen
ior of his graduating class.
He feels that the present dress
regulation bill before Senate should
be passed. Drawdy commented,
"Clothes make the person.” He
believes that if one wants to dress
sloppily, it is his perogative.
Another item that the freshmen
leader feels is important is sch
ool spirit. Everyone needs to sup
port St. Andrews in all activities-
sports and otherwise. A major

and Sidney Siegle.
accomplishment will come when
the gym is completed and we can
walk to games.
Mike Ferrell was elected vice-
president, to represent his class
before the Senate. If a major bill
appears on the Senate floor, Fer
rell feels that a poll of his class
should be taken.
Personal contact is also impor
tant, according to the freshman
vice-president , but it is limited
because of the large number of
students which should be can
vassed.
Correcting a mistake in the
last issue of THE LANCE Fer
rell said his high school exper
iences consisted of senior re
presentative to the student council
and treasurer of the Key Club.
As for money-making projects,
he has no concrete ideas but
hopes that his fellow classmates
will be creative.
Gail Kvingedal from West Hart
ford, Connecticut,'is the new se-
cretary-treasurer of the fresh
man class. She is in Wilmington
dormitory.
C&C Spreads To English
The idea of incorporating En
glish into the Christianity and
Culture program is on its way to
becoming a reality. It is in the
committee stage now.
Last week Dr. Doubles of the re
ligion and philosophy department
and Dr. Williamson of the English
department flew to Florida Pres
byterian College, St. Petersburg,
Florida, and New College, Saras
ota, Florida, along with Dr. Tyler
Miller of the science department.
These professors investigated the
core programs at the two insti
tutions. Registrar Ed Gross pilo
ted the plane on its southbound ex
cursion.
If English is incorporated into
the C& C program, the change will
effect all four years, but mainly the
freshman section. The semester
hours of credit will remain the
same.
The freshman year would be
more of a writing development
program. The types of writing
would vary in the sophomore,
junior, and senior years.
Both of the investigated insti
tutions in Florida have high aca
demic requirements with very few
students with writing problems
being admitted. New College sets
1325 as a basic SAT score re
quirement.
The ideas which strongly im
pressed our professors were the
intensive involvement and good
moral of students and the stu
dents’ idea that theirs is the best
program.
Shannon Hershberger, senior, entered by THE LANCE as St. Andrews
representative in the 1967 Maid of Cotton contest.
