Calendar Improves ESP
After a year of trial, with partial success and failure, with
both student approval and disapproval, the early semester plan
has drawn some 900 students back into the classroom for an
early start in another phase of progressive education.
While the early semester plan is not a St. Andrews original,
it is a new program of class attendance and holiday planning
for a good many students here at St, Andrews. The program
as it existed last year was most uncomfortable in the first se
mester scheduling with long weeks of unbroken study extend
ing from late August through mid December with only a three
day vacation in late October. Students attended classes on both
Labor Day and Thanksgiving Day and for most students there
were Saturday classes.
Now because of extensive planning by the calendar com
mittee, a few of there problems have been ironed out of the
early semester plan, a program which serves as a transition
between the old semester plan and the up-and-coming 4-1-4.
Although St. Andrews has again eliminated a potential 900
holiday highway victims from the Labor Day toll, a week’s
Thanksgiving vacation has been provided and the spring semes
ter vacation now includes Easter, never before included in
the SA calendar. Fewer classes will meet on Saturday this
year than in the past.
Christmas vacation is jgain a long period of time in which
the students certainly will recooperate from both mental and
physical strain, but again this vacation is to be spent doing
nothing with no one because of the vacation scheduling in other
colleges and universities.
Much credit goes to the committee whose calendar propo
sals have alleviated much of the tension that accompanies
the long and tedious work schedule of the first semester under
the early semester plan.

Complainers! Look For Good
Contrary to most SA editor
ials, this first edition of the
LANCE is dedicated to all
those who have found the to
lerance to hold their tongues
in response to all the com
plaints circulating around cam
pus.
Having been back to classes
for only two weeks, some gri
pers have found cause enough to
complain about just about
everything. Mr. Griper finds
that the food is just awful, it
always rains, the profs are out
of their minds and school start
ed too early.
Letters To to the Editor
Bulletin Board Regulations
or course, tnese constant
complainers are to be expect
ed at any college, but it seems
that this fall, we here at SA
have the best set up yet. The
addition of the new gym should
be enough to halt almost any
one’s over-anxious tongue; to
say nothing of the excellent
faculty, new dorm hours for
the girls and the calibre of
the new Freshman class.
There couldn’t be a better
time, here at the beginning of
classes, to pause and look at
the good things that are hap
pening.
To all students:

bulletin board of the student
center:

half of a regular sheet of pos
ter paper.

vities and announcements of

organizations, the student af

Approval: All posters must be
approved in the student af
fairs office.
Location: Space is designated
for notices under the above
catagories. Nothing Is to be

painted surface of the Student
Center.

Overman On
God’s Existence
Dr. Ralph T. Overman, scien
tific consultant for the Oali
Ridge Institute of Nuclear Stu
dies, Is the first of eight dis
tinguished scientists participa
ting in St. Andrews’ first visit
ing scientist program. His lec
ture Monday was the first pub
lic event held in the college’s
new health and physical educa
tion building.
Speaking to several hundred
persons on the subject, “Human
Values In an Age of Science,”
Dr. Overman declared that,
contrary to common thought,
scientists do believe—they be
lieve in “the consistency of na
ture.”
“We do not prove theories,”
he continued, “in fact we do
not prove anything in science.”
Dr. Overman Illustrated the
scientist’s awareness of nature
by comparing it with a child’s
growing awareness of the world
^bout him and his increasing
questions about It. He describ
ed the scientific process as
starting with data, from which
the scientist develops theoreti
cal ideas, which he then at
tempts to validate in the labora
tory.
The two basic strengths of
the scientific approach are in
themselves basic limitations,
he said. These are: data are
limited to those data which
can be accepted by one of our
five senses and the objective
nature of scientific work.
It is because the scientist
must work with objects with
these strengths-limitatlonsthat
man must find another means of
experiencing human relation
ships.
"This is what we Christians
are offering,” he asserted.
“The being of you is the image
of God--with capacity for re
ciprocal relationships.”
While God cannot be vali
dated in the laboratory, “God
is available as a personal being
to solve problems,” he said.
“There is no meaning in life
outside this relationship,” he
continued, “I am sure I can
validate God through relation
ships of my life. , .What we
know about God we can see in
Christ Jesus. We can see what
God is like in our everyday
life.”
