Our Man in Laurinburg
Yearbook to Lose Funds as City Reacts
BY CLINE HUDSON
Animosity in Laurinburg to
wards S. A.? It seems that way
right now. Our illustrious Year
book staff of last year, with
their colorful 16 page spread on
our immediate environs in Lau
rinburg have evidently raised
the hair on a few townspeo-
ples’ necks. The ‘ Lamp and
Shield” for the 1968-69 session
may have made quite a tactical
boo-boo with the result that
many merchants and business
men will withdraw support for
the 69-70 yearbook.

AND MRS. DONALD J. HART . . . SA's new first family.
Hart Stresses Campus -wide Communication
Dr. Donald J. Hart, St. An
drews’ new President, exempli
fies the school’s growing con
cern with campus communica
tion.
“Right now I am trying to get
acquainted. It's difficult to get a
good ‘feel’ of campus life dur
ing the summer, but I was im
pressed by the responsiveness
and openness of the students I
met. I welcome contacts with
all students.”
As well. Dr. Hart finds St.
Andrews ‘-very exciting”. He
commended the faculty and the
Interdisciplinary courses e-
specially and says that he ex
pects steady improvement as
the social sciences program de
velops.
Dr. Hart mentioned several
it
areas where he expects to be
working closely with students.
'“The report of the Security
Committee (a student-faculty-
administratlve body) has pre
sented several effective ways
of meeting needs, but it- re
quires the backing of students
as well as administration since
is essentially in their in
terest”. There is a personnel
and time problem as well as a
budget question, but Dr. Hart
stated that he hoped the pro
gram could be put into effect as
soon as possible.
The General Service Fee
which has been a major concern
of student government since
early last spring is another area
where Dr. Hart sees student-
administrative cooperation
important. There is to be wor
ked on during the year both a
reasonable amount to be allowed
to the Student Association for
distribution and an equitable
allocation of these funds to
various levels in student acti
vities.
Dr. Hart also pointed out
that student representation on
faculty committees is a two-
way concern. From thefaculty-
adminlstration point of view
“the span of a student’s life
school is relatively short,
well, student opinion
swings within a three-to-four
year period and it’s difficult
for the college to keep up with
the change in attitudes. But
this is only part of the pro-

burg Exchange" confided that
'■many people were upset over
the pictures taken, and e-
specially over the accompany
ing essay.
“It wasn’t a fair appraisal of
the town,’' he said.
‘■It just didn’t show the whole
picture”.
still further he said that “of
course Laurinburg has its pro
blems, but so does every city...
it’s part of progress.
“You can’t appreciate how
much progress has been made
in Laurinburg in the last twenty
or thirty years unless you’ve
been here that long.
Senate Affirms
Security Now
In Debate
The Interdormitory Senate
met for the first time this year
Tuesday night.
Indicated as a prime con
cern was implementing the sec
urity system as soon as pos
sible. It was pointed out that
several women’s dorms were
interested in every night vali
dation of extended hours, and
without an effective security
arrangement, this was impos-
slble in Granville, Wilming
ton, and Concord. Albemarle
and Orange have men residing
in the dorm to implement cur
rent security practices. Dorm
autonomy under the IDS was
stessed.
Also under discussion were
the “Saltire”, student hand
book, and Orientation. Sev
eral students noted the con
trol that the Student Affairs
Office exercises over material
printed in the handbook and
questioned whether it was a
valid expression of student re
sponsibility.
It was suggested also that
Orientation, al though it has
moved away from the Serf Week
idea, needed to be more a col
lege orientation with less em
phasis on new student orienta
tion.
H. D. Maynard was elected
President pro tempore. Mark
Perkins was asked to look into
the overall college budget, while
Ron Tingle is to attend the Stu
dent Association budget meeting
tonight.
(Continued to page 8)
■Laurinburg has come far
ther than many other small
cities in the entire South,’' he
added.
Many merchants who support
the yearbook through advertis
ing, share the editor’s feelings.
They feel the whole pictorial
essay was something akin to
some still photos of Hiroshima
in 194G.
“They made our town look
like a disaster area’', said one
irate merchant.
“How can I support a pub
lication that makes my town
look like it's ready for federal
evacuation funds?’' he asked.
Unfortunately, this is the gen
eral attitude among the towns
people. They feel the yearbook
was one-sided and degrading.
Scott McRae, in defense of
the publication’s stand on this
issue, stated it was the year
book’s purpose to “point out,
not put down the community.
We were just trying to show it
like it was ... it was a re
flection, not a condemnation’'.

Fuller Explains
New Black School
Howard Fuller, director of
the Malcolm X School of Li
beration in Durham and on leave
of absence from the Foundation
of Community of Development,
spoke on campus Monday.
Outlining the reasons there
is a need for the Malcolm X
School of Liberation, Fuller
noted that the white man has
both the mechanisms of vio
lence and economic control, that
many black men have white
oriented minds, and that black
men need both independence and
some form of communallsm for
self-realization and ultimate
control.
“Blacks need nation build
ing through some type of re
volution,” Fuller stated.
The nation building concept
includes talent for providing
food, clothing, communica
tions, political organization,
shelter and medical attention.
The school will Incorporate
training in these areas as well
as in the development of In
dependent African civiliza
tion, physical training and
community work.
