S L C Studies Student Funds

The concern with the budget
this year has the entire student
body up In the air. Everyone is
talking and trying to decide
where the students’ money is
going.
The continuing concern for
budget allocations had its be
ginnings in the first budget sys
tem set up In 1961. At that
time, fixed percentages of the
entire general service fee were
allotted to the different in
terests related to the student.
Thus, the library received a
definite proportion, as did the
health center and physical ed
ucation departments, labora
tories, and the student agency
fees. The last item seemed the
most Important. Under the
original arrangement, 20%
(approx.) of the general ser
vice fee would be set aside for
the student agency fee, which
eventually Included “Lamp and
Shield,” the "Lance”, Student
Center Board, and the Student

Program
Started
Albuquerque, N.M.--(I.P.)-
Worklng with faculty, after a
year and a half of planning, stu
dent government represen
tatives at the University of New
Mexico have drafted a satis
factory faculty evaluation pro
gram.
The new project was given a
scientific emphasis with the
help of Prof. Ralph Norman of
the psychology department, and
administrative consultation
through Dr. Harold Lavender,
vice-president for student af
fairs.
There are several purposes
for the evaluation. It Is hoped
that a bank of Information will
be formed which can be used as
one factor In determining
faculty tenure, salary, and
promotion. Another idea behind
the plan Is to provide feedback
for the professor which will

“God Is dead, but don’t worry.
The Virgin Is pregnant again.”
This startling and perhaps
mystiflng quotation of 20th cen
tury American Graffito faced
chapel goers last Thursday
morning as Dr. William
Alexander led off a series of
programs entitled “Credo”.
Alexander, professor of
philosophy and general wisdom
at St. Andrews, presented a
“tour de force” of what, to
him, belief and faith must be.
Coupled with the Graffito In
the printed service of prepara
tion were quotes from the con
temporary playwright Bertolt
Brecht and the 18th century
philosopher Johann Hamann, to
Illustrate Alexander’s point that
“we can learn as much about
Christianity from the non-
Christians as from the Chris
tians themselves.”
Launching the Credo, or “I
Believe” theme, Alexander fo
cused upon a ruthless continen
tal question on the human con
dition, based on M. Cloran,
who says man must believe that
he cannot escape.
“What Is It you do not know
how to escape from? For me
there seem to be two things
which I cannot escape, cannot
deny,” Alexander pointed out.
“The first of these In-
escapables Is that purity Is an
Illusion, a mirage. There Is no
such thing as pure faith, a pure
religion, a pure moral decision.
“Some of these Illusions of
purity have been formalized as
mysticism, sectarlanslm, paci
fism and so on. For example.
It Is an Illusion to think that
America can decide to kill or not
to kill. As a global power
America kills when It does
something, as In Viet Nam. Be
cause nothing is pure, truth re
mains a mystery”.
Alexander continued and in
dicated the second thing from
which he cannot escape. “Sec
ondly the particularity of each
of us as Individuals Is Ines
capable. Each of us has his own
place In time and space, his
own set of experiences, his own
eyes to see the world. Under
standing other people eludes us;
each person remains es
sentially a mystery to every
other.
“Because we all live on this
earth we must live together,
which requires understanding
and forgiveness. Forgiveness is
a Christian action, so the Chris
tian College says to us under
stand and forgive or stay out
out of each others way.
“Finally In a time when
change causes illusion to pass
away, the Christian has a
special opportunity. For the
Christian should be able to
grasp the world without Illusion
and understand people In all
their particularity. This Is what
I believe. . . this week”.
This past Thursday night
chapel was conducted as a mid
night communion service on
Chapel Island. Future “Credo”
programs will feature Dr.
White, Dean Davidson and Dr.
Crowell.
Search on
For Best
Co-Ed
THE LANCE will again spon
sor the contest that will deter
mine who students find to be the
best dressed co-ed on the St,
Andrews campus. This has been
done the past two years In con-
Juction with GLAMOUR Maga
zine’s yearly contest “Top Ten
College Girls for 1969”. Miss
Betty Tilley, ‘68 graduate, was
named to the national seml-
flnallst list In the last two con
tests.

College Editor, writes that,

Christian Council. A lump sum
from the business office was
given to the student govern
ment to distribute accordlngto
Us CA'n prioritit'o.
Thus, in continuing with tiise
policies, the business officiie-
termined that $24.00 (pertu-
dent for 885 students) fror^ he
general service fee wouMbe
given for student agency fes,
totaling $21,240. In itseffort;to
allow as great a student partiil-
patlon as possible, thebusl i(ss
office gave student govern ntnt
this entire sum to dlstr: bite
accordingly.
But t h Is was exactly w isre
the process broke down. Wke
Ferrell said that “the Sehjte
had no constitutional jurispl;-
tion over distribution of funas.”
Publications were reluctant to
come under “student agtey
fees,” but favored direct deal
ing with the business manager.
The Cabinet also favored a
division between publications
and student government funds
because the deficit last ji>ar
from “Lamp and Shield” would
affect this years’ budget plans.
Administrations felt that ' nei
ther the student governiiientftor
the various publications was
sufficiently representative^ of
the entire student body to divide
funds.” Yet the Cabinet had
priority only because the money
was presented to them In bulk.
Taking advantage of the situa
tion, they claimed $15,520, In
order to organize a student
government and fulfill commit
ments made last year. The
Cabinet allocated $5,715 to
“The Lance and “Lamp and
Shield,” an “Insufficient a-
mount,” according to Ray
Riddle.
Dr. Decker proposed a solu
tion to this, and the much larger
problem of student agency fees.
He suggested that the Student
Life Committee, a highly rep
resentative group by design,
“ought to study the financial
needs for each faction under the
student agency fee on a pro
jected level”. “He would like
to see the student agency fee
separate from general service
fees, but “this would be up to
the Student Life Committee”.
“After the SLC was through,
(he) would be willing to cut down
his own budget, and that of Ad
missions and Development to
insure funds for both student
government and publications. If
that was necessary”. In any
case, the proposed meeting with
the Student Life Committee will
be on Monday at 4:00.
The $I million Scotland
County school bond Issue was
defeated Tuesday at the polls
as voters came out in record
numbers as the well-advertised
Issue was swamped by a count
of 1,945 votes to 1,276 votes.
In only one precinct—Laur-
inburg Number 3 at the Com
munity Building--did pro
ponents prevail. All other nine
precincts saw the issue fall and
In several boxes by substantial
margins. It marked the first
time a school bond had ever
fallen here.
The 3,221 unofficial votes cast
Tuesday was by far the most
ever cast here in a bond vote.
It approached the number bal
loted here in the general elec
tion two years ago.
The proposition lost by more
than a 3 to 2 margin, and the
vote came close to the pre
diction of Floyd Nichols, chair
man of the elections board. He
had forecast that 3,300 people
would vote.
An early analysis of the vot
ing shows that the issue was de-

SDS Plays Major Role
In College Campuses
feated In both the Laurlnburg
boxes and In rural boxes. How
ever, the margin of defeat was
much larger in the rural areas.
The “new” box in Laurel
Hill township showed the biggest
percentage against the sale of
school bonds, with 210 against
and only 26 for.
Laurel Hill Depot voters
over whelmlngly disapproved
also. Their 203 for the 69
against Is almost a 3 to I mar
gin.
At Gibson, East Laurlnburg
and Laurlnburg Number 2 (fire
station) the opposition was
heavy also. Voters In these
boxes registered nearly a 2 to
1 protest.
For Laurlnburg Number 1,
(courthouse) the vote was 115
for and 132 against. At Num
ber 3 It was 487 for and 456
against, at Laurlnburg Number
4 (armory) It was 233 for and
380 against.
At East Laurlnburg the count
was 39 for and 81 against, at
Johns 40 for and 48 against, at
Gibson 57 for and 129 against,
at Laurel Hill Depot 69 for and
203 against and at Spring Hill
143 for and 180 against.
Voting by Negroes was light
and voting In the two pre
cincts where they have heavy
registrations was not heavy.
On the other hand the ballot
ing at Laurlnburg Number 3
was unusually heavy. A total of
943 ballots were marked at
the community building voting
place. This was more than 28
percent of the total vote. Voting
was also particularly heavy In
the Laurel Hill and Spring Hill
boxes.
The mechanics of the day
went along smoothly and there
were no reported hitches. A few
ballots had to be discarded as
in any election, but there was no
trouble at any of the voting
places.
Counting was commenced at
all boxes soon after 6:30, time
of the closing of the polls, and
results were In the hands of
the elections office by about
7:30. Laurlntiurg Number 3 and

ders were the last to report,
about an hour after the polls
had closed.

Arts Auditorium.
While the organization known
as Students for a Democratic
Society represents only a min
uscule minority of students,
lit has managed to play a lead
ing role in the violence, blood
shed and arson that have ex
ploded across college campuses
from Columbia to Stanford.
Details of how this small but
militant group has managed to
disrupt college life are re
vealed in the October Reader’s
Digest by Eugene Methvin of
the magazine’s Washington
bureau. Quoting SDS officials
and members, he reports that
the organization’s ultimate goal
"Is nothing less than the de
struction of society Itself.”
Methvin quotes one speaker
at SDS’s national convention
at East Lansing, Mich., last
June; “The ability to man
ipulate people through violence
and mass media has never been
greater, the potential for us
as radicals never more ex-
clntlng, than now." FBI di
rector J. Edgar Hoover has
said: “They are a new type
of subversive, and their danger
Is great. -
SDS’s tactics Include use of
off-campus issues to disrupt
campus life, the article points
out. An SDS member frojn
Wisconsin put It this way: “We
organized dormitory students
around rules, and then it was
easy to move them on such
issues as the university’s re
lation to Chase Manhattan
Bank. ■’
The article quotes these
among specific SDS proposals
for disruption of society; pick
ing public fights with welfare
workers; starting trash-can
fires and pulling fire alarms
In high schools as “forms of
protest”; making appointments
by the score with university
deans and registars-to “over
use the bureaucracy”;checking
out an inordinate number of
books to disrupt libraries and
study programs; disrupting
der false names so "federal
agents will spend much time
attempting to track down people
who do not exist”.
While it purports to follow
a line of “Independent radical
ism”, Methvin reports SDS be
trays growing signs of links
to hard-core professional com-
