Students Voice Constructive Criticism By LINDA SUSONG We all need to have our ego boosted once in a while, and It Is especially nice when praise is worthy, and even better when It is constructive. After hearing St. Andrews re ferred once too many times as a “Country Club School,” I began to wonder what the general con sensus really is. Many observa tions later, I found these prevail ing comments: ; “Our faculty is willing to get to know us outside of class; they have a personal interest in their students, not only as intellectual Give Him . . . an imported Cox-Moore cashmere sweater . . . a Towne & King Alpaca Sweater or a Gant shirt .... a Canterbury secretary, belt, and tie pin .....

"I cannot see the reason for all the fuss a student goes to after flunking a course which he hasn’t even bothered to attend—just be cause cuts aren’t limited,” ob served a professor. “There’s a good chance for the average athelete to show his tal ent at St. Andrews; the pressure of big varsity athletics Is lifted,” offered Jim Synder. “I miss football—and everything about the football season! We need a big ger sports program,” said an out spoken number of sports enthusi asts. “It’s close to the beach—and I like it I” This reply came in bountiful numbers. “There seems to be an almost ‘anti-intellect- ualism’ here; not enough students take advantage of the guest lect ures and concerts—and It is through this type of outside-the- classroom activity in which stu dents really apply knowledge learned during the week.” In the long run, however, I found a strong affirmative voice in the students themselves. The opinions may be summed up v/ith this comment from a Washington, D. C., guidance counselor who vi sited from Virginia, “St. Andrews’ students are a happy people, either It’s just plain easy here, or they’re liking what they’re learning.” Laurinburg Bakery Dial CR 6-0686 1 Free Delivery Each Afternoon Specialists in Wedding and Birthday Cakes Party Cakes, Pies, Donuts “We Serve To Serve Again”
