John McIntyre, SA History Major,
Studies Federal Government At A.U.
John McIntyre, ordinarily a stu
dent at St. Andrews, is currently
one of 98 persons enrolled at
American University in Washing
ton, B.C., for a special study of the
federal government.
As a Washington Semester stu
dent, John attends classes and se-
pinars at American University and
will write a research paper on a
subject of his choice. He will re
ceive credit at St. Andrews for
participation in this program.
The students in the Washing
ton Semester program make an
intensive study of the federal go
vernment in action. They meet with
congressmen, labor and manage
ment leaders, lobbists, journa
lists, and nationally-known per
sonalities from every walk of
life.
A history and political science
major at St. Andrews, John com
ments, “Studying the American
governmental process by actual
observation and first-hand exper
ience is much more rewarding
than studying solely from text
books. The Washington Semester
program has a very definite value
for the student interested in the
workings of the American govern
ment.”
This is the twentieth year that
the University’s School of Gover
nment and Public Administration
has sponsored the Washington Se
mester program in the nation’s ca
pital. St. Andrews is among 5 5 col
leges and universities in the nat
ion represented in the program
which will end this month.

Chinese Art Display In LA
By KAREN BAIRD
The beautiful Chinese art display
which St. Andrews’ students are
currently enjoying in the Liberal
Arts building was loaned to the col
lege by Mrs. Halbert Jones of
Laurinburg, N.C.
Mrs. Jones has lived abroad off
and on for the last 60 years. In her
travels, she has bought many items
for her Asian art collection, some
of which are on display at the pre
sent time. Many of these items
could not be imported today, since
the Communists have taken over
China.
One of the most valuable pieces
in the collection is a peach amber
horse and two vases. Mrs. Jones
says that she has never seen peach
amber the color of these items.
Although the work is not outstand
ing and is carved with a minimum
of lines, it is typically Chinese.
Fine amber (which is actually pe
trified resin) is the color of
honey, but some is peach and red-
colored, such as displayed in the
glass cabinet across from Dr.
Moore’s office.
A most unusual item In the col
lection Is a bronze dragon. This
dragon is common to China, Kor
ea, and Japan. It is often used as
a ten foot long fountain piece in
temple gardens, but is more gen
erally seen in paintings.
On February 15, Mrs. Jones
will put part of her Japanese art
collection on display in the LA, In
Mrs. Jones’ opinion, the Japanese
have far superior taste than the
Chinese. She says, “Although Chi
na was ahead of Japan for almost
300 years, the Japanese finally
started to assert themselves and
develop their own art and poetry,
based on an economy of scarcity.”
Becky Suddreth from Lenoir, N.
C.; Carol Bragunier fromTenafly,
N.J.; and Katie Cody from York, S,
C., are the belles from Concord.

That’s a grand total of 7 fresh
men, 6 sopnomores, junioi s, auu
7 seniors. What a bevy ofbeautlful
girls!
Our tea, Thursday afternoon at
5 p.m., was a big success, although
we all were a host of nerves. Ev
eryone looked so nice in her “Sun
day best.” Thank goodness that or
deal is behind us. The only moun
tain left to climb Is the pageant.
It is 7:30 p.m. The doors have
opened, and the music is playing.
There is so much excitement back
stage—giggles, sighs, and just
plain excitement. There is a stir in
the audience as the judges come in
at 7:55.
After all the Introductions are
made, it is time for us contest
ants to enter the auditorium. “V/alk
like a lady, smile, don’t trip up
the steps, hold your head high.”
How in the world will I remember
itaU?
Safe and sound on the stage at
least. It seems we just got here,
and now we must leave again. It is
time for the entertainment. Sen
iors Sue Scarborough and Mary
Field are singing a duet about “the
free Woman.” Now Lynn Corbett
and Scott McCrea are singing folk
music.
After this relaxing entertain
ment, the tension again mounts as
the ten finalists are being announ
ced.
My name is called!
“Wake up, Lazy! It’s time for C
& C.”
Oh, what a beautiful dream. See
you there tonight at 8 p.m. in the
LAA.
