Hart Succeeds Moore As President
Sophomore Charged in $15,000
Robbery of School Equipment

Charged with breaking, en
tering, and larceny of St. An
drews equipnuent, David Lupton
McDonald, 19-year-old sopho
more from York, S. C., has been
released on $7500 bond. The
initial bond fee of $15,000 was
cut in half at a preliminary
hearing in Laurinburg on Janu
ary 30.
The equipment, valued at ap
proximately $15,000, was taken
from the science laboratories
and offices in the Liberal Arts
Building over the week-end of
January 25. On Saturday morn
ing a secretary discovered her
typewriter missing, and a later
check of the building revealed
the theft of the other equipment.
The most valuable item stolen
was a Z eiss photo miscroscope
valued at $5500. Other items in
cluded an electric typewriter, a
Thermofax copier, micro
scopes, lab carts, and miscel
laneous laboratory equipment.
A calculator valued at $1500
was also stolen.
It is believed that McDonald
entered the building through a
window or had access to a key.
Equipment was taken from four
different rooms in the building.
Allegedly, McDonald loaded
the equipment in a trailer and
drove it to a friend’s house out
side Charles Town, West Vir
ginia McDonald lived in
Charles Town before he moved
to York. The equipment was
found in the basement of the
friend’s home.
All stolen equipment has been
returned to St. Andrews by the
Scotland County police depart
ment. There appears to be no
serious damage to the equip
ment.
Date of McDonald’s trial has
been set for March 17 in Scot
land County.
The faculty has considered
placing tight restrictions on
the laboratories as a result

The dam burst Saturday.
Voters in Scotland County bal
loted in heavy support of the
ABC Store-package beer mea
sure.
Unofficial results revealed
2,584 votes cast for the es
tablishment of one or more
ABC stores in the county and
“Off-premises” sale of beer.
1,580 cast negative ballots in
the election, giving the victors
a solid 1,000 vote margin.
The total vote of about 4,164
was the predicted number, ac
cording to election officials.
The number represents less
than half of the county’s re
gistered voters. Yet the turnout
was considered good for an
election of this type.
Seven of the nine boxes in
the county supported the mea
sure. According to members
of the Scotland County Citizens
for Legal Control, the voting
at the Community Building was
the most crucial. The vote there
was 694 in favor and 323 against.
Victory was Inevitable when
these figures came in Saturday
night.
The two precincts voting down
the measure were East Laurin
burg, where the vote was 150
against, 139 for, and Laurel
Hill Depot, where the proposal
was downed 195 to 143.
Professor William Winn, one
of the co-ordinators of the
drive commented after hearing
the news of the victory, “1
think that this has been a real
experience in which we has
helped demonstrate that a crea
tive tesnion should exist
between the college and com
munity.” One thing that impres
sed Winn was the great mix
ture of people working for the
passage of the measure. “We
had help from persons of all
strata. Republicans, Dem
ocrats, supporters of Wallace,
rich and poor, white, black
and Indian. They all came. It was
great support.’
The next step toward car
rying out the mandate of this
vote will be the appointment
of an ABC board for the county.
It is understood that this is to
be done by the board of county
commissioners in cooperation'
with other county administra
tive boards. The ABC board will
have wide responsibility, and its
duties will include considerable
decision making as to establish
ment, operation, and mainten-.
ance of an ABC store and its'
personnel. ABC board members
are also vested with some In-
investigatory and law enforce
ment authority.
The vote favoring the llquor-
package beer measure means

Counter-inauguration Marchers For Peace

BY PETE COOK
More than ten thousand people
gathered near the Washington
Monument early Sunday after
noon, January 19, to highlight
three days of activities with a
massive peace march.
The march went from the
White House to the Capitol
Building in the middle of Pen
nsylvania .^venue. More than
thirty five of the students pre
sent were from St. Andrews.
Many middle-sized, middle
class citizens of Washington
and tourists from all over the
nation sat in the bleachers lin
ing Pennsylvania Avenue. Many
of the spectators jeered and
shouted obscenities atthepara-
ders who were led by veterans
of the present war in Vietnam.
The parade was only a seg
ment of the activities, however.
The three day “Counter Inau
guration” event which was
sponsored by the National Mo

morning, noon, and night, and a
“Counter-Inaugural Ball” on
Sunday night, the evening before
the inauguration of Richard
Nixon as President of the United
States.
At the ball, anti-Nixon sen
timents became obvious as a
pig was inaugurated in his place.
The pig, an obvious carry
over from Chicago’s summer
“police riot’ , was not the main
focus of the counter-inaugu
ration, however. Also Inaugu

peace, for which the three days
of acitlvities were planned.

ini Courses
At St. Andrews
BY JIM POPE
The St. Andrews Student
Association has authorized four
extracurricular courses that
are being offered for the first
time on our campus. These
courses are purely for the in
terest of the student body and
no credit is given for them.

Several students were walk
ing through Canterbury Ca
thedral and happened to fix their
eyes on an engraved stone
monument set into an ancient
wall. “Thomas Becket-Arch-
bishop of Canterbury 1161-1170
Died on this spot in 1170”. A
shrine to his memory was
erected and became the focus
of Chaucer’s famous Tales. The
shrine Is gone, destroyed by
Henry VIII, but the overpower
ing sense of history grabs each
individual and devours him.
This consummingfeelingofhls-
tory radiated from every
cubicle of England.
Thirty four members of the
St. Andrews community spent
three weeks in London and the
surrounding area studying the
English theatre. Within that
time, every possible theatrical
form was experienced. From
the Royal Shakespear Com
pany’s production of “Julius
Caesar” to the folk-rock musi
cal “Hair.” Almost withoutex-
ceptlon, the plays overflowed
with the aroma of English his
tory. To see the National Thea
tre perform Breckt’s “Edward
11” from the second row was
stimulating if not shocking.
Edward, KingofEngland, greets
his male whore, GavestoniWitha
passionate, homosexual kiss,
and follows by spitting on his
Queen’s face for thirty seconds.
One of the mystifying nights
at the theatre was at the Co
vent Garden Opera House. We
were at the theatre for a per
formance of Verdi’s Rlgoletto,
a nineteenth century opera.
Never have I seen such au
dience enthusiasm. After the
final act. the members of the
cast received fourteen cur
tain calls.
Sir Alec Guinness’ perfor
mance as the unknown guest
in T. S. Eliot’s “The Cocktail
Party” was brilliant and saved
the poet’s play from slipping
to second rate melodrama.
Outside the theatre world,
London was like many big
cities, dirty, a melting pot for
all races and oftentimes ex
pensive. Twelve pounds doesn’t
go very far In certain areas
of the Soho.
The architect that designed
our place of residence must
have been a diabolical fiend.
Little h^at, a scarcity of hot
water, and ninety steps to your
room it you were so lucky to be
stuck on the sixth floor. Not
that this was enough, maids
who would dismantle rather than
clean and dogs that would use
the breakfast floor as a sand
box.
Touring the restaurants was
an eye opener. The Soho is
famous for meals from all over
the world. A goodtime night
would be Simpson’s on the
Strand for dinner, the Aldywch
Theatre for a performance of
Edward Albee’s “A Delicate
Balance” and then to The Bag
or Sous Sol for some dancing
and drinking.
Plccidilly Circus Is the
Times Square of London and the
neighboring Leicester Square
runs a close second. This area
is the tourist trap of the world.
Men with cameras snap your
picture and then convince you
that mother would love some
shots of you In the greatest
spot in the world. Only a pound
($2.40) for two pictures.
Even In Plccidilly one can
find a reasonably priced meal.
Fortes Is a restaurant that
has as much atmosphere as the
LA building but a treble cheese
burger and two warm pepsls
(all drinks in England are warm)
for nine shillings, served by a
waitress that reminds one of
Apple Annie in the movie “Poc-
ketfull of Miracles.”
Something that seems to be
peculiar to London are thebus-
kers, the street singers
that emerge to perform while
people are queueing up to get
into the cinema. They sing for
their supper and “enjoy the
guts out of life” according to
“Paris” Nat Schaeffer, a long
time street singer. “Paris”
totes his 12 string Martin
wherever he goes or sleeps
and when he plays It the half
crowns fly for the upturned
tamborine that his female com
panion carries. I ran into him
one night on Leicester Square.
A thick, dropping mustache
dresses his face which slightly
resembles a dried up riverbed.
His long, stringy hair partially
hid a gold earing. Coming from
the country of hippies, 1 realized
that this singer was as genuine
as the big guy in the sky makes
’em. “Pot? Yea, hashish too.
Been on it for thirty years.
Does something for my playing
and singing that I could never do
without it. Makes me really
enter and become part of what
ever I attempt on the guitar.”
Cecil Court, just off Tra
falgar Square, Is a tiny street
that is catacombed with anti
quarian bookshops. One small
shop had more dust than anti
ques and his prices were so
high he belonged In the high
class shopping districts of Lon
don. For those Interested in
antiquaries, this ancient street
has got more than one could
ask for.
If you think of London fashions
then you probably wonder
about Carnaby Street and the
not-so-well-known Kings Road.
Carnaby is all anyone ever
made It out to be. The latest
fashiojis for both sexes are
there In quality and quantity.
Kings Road caters more to the
female.
The most exciting place tor
clothes In London is Carnaby
Caverns, Just off the world re
nowned street. You enter the
shop and are swamped by a red
haired man with a full flaming
red beard who, without question,
is the greatest salesman In the
world. 1 had spent 10 guineas
($25) before two minutes had
passed in the store.

A CLASS OF TWENTY-FOUR STUDENTS, the majority being from St. Andrews, studied in
Jamaica during the month of January. L^d by Dr. Jerry Williamson, their objective was the study
of Jamaican society through its emerging art and literature. The first days were spent In Ocho
Rios, where a bauxite mine, a sugar plantation, an agricultural research station, a native village,
Dunn’s River Falls, and the beaches were visited. After a week, the group moved to Kingston
where lectures were presented by many prominent Jamaicans in their fields of art, literature,
dance, and drama. The class returned to Florida Presbyterian College and each member completed
a paper concerning some chosen aspect of the Jamaican culture.
