Constitutional Changes
)iscussed By Senate
THURSDAY, SEPT. 18, 1969
The Inte rdormitory Senate
let Tuesday night In Mecklen-
lurg lounge. Under discussion
rere the possibility of extended
'omen’s hours, proposed a-
lendments to the Student As-
loclation Constitution, a report
the general budget situation
id approvals of appointments.
Steve Gibbs, chairman of the
tudent-FacuIty Appellate
loird, presented proposed a-
endments c o n c e rnlng the
ctlon of the Board for Senate
iscussion. The proposed a-
icndments are as follows:
.) The Student-Faculty
.ppellate Board Is the highest
idicial body representing the
itudents. Faculty, and Adminls-
atlon of St. Andrews Presby-
irian College, which makes
‘ecommendatlons to the Presl-
|cnt of the College or his own
ipolnted representatives.
“(b.) The Student-Faculty
ippellate Board consists of two
llected members from the in-
oming Senior class, one
lected member from the in-
oming Junior class, one Fac-
Ity member and one represen-
tlves of the Administration
lected in keeping with thepro-
idure provided in the Faculty-
y-Laws. A student may select
ounsel as he chooses. The
oard elects a chairman from
membership.
(c.) The Student-Faculty
ppellate Board interprets the
onstitutlon of the Student As-
ociation, and can hear all the
ppeals from the Student
idiclary Board and Men’siand
omen’s Residence Courts
hlch do not involve Honor Code
[lenses, but has no original
irlsdiction. Upon hearing an
ppeal, the Board may uphold
reverse the original or
previous decision and may up
hold or reverse the original
or previous sentence. All mem
bers of the Board are distinct
from those on the Senate Judi
ciary Board and the Residence
Courts.”
Gibbs noted that the proposed
changes would give students
some freedom of choice in de
ciding which court would hear
their appeals. This' decision
would be made with the advice
of the Attorney General. As
well, he commented that the
Judiciary Board was equipped
by its structure for trying honor
code offenses specifically and
is not set up for handling so
cial offenses.
Pete Klopman, Attorney Gen
eral, pointed out that the op
tion would possibly cut out one
of the avenues of appeal. If stu
dents decided to by-pass the
Judiciary Board in appeals from
the Residence Courts.
Mark Perkins, who met with
Lindsey Thomas, acting Busi
ness Manager at the college
about the college budget, re
ported that money allotted to the
Student Association would no
longer come from the General
Service Fee, but would be In
cluded as another item in the
overall college budget. He esti
mated last year’s budget at
approximately $21,000 and is
expecting to exceed that bud
get by three to four thousand.
A major complaint Thomas
made was that the Senate had not
reviewed at the end of the year
the money spent. Money left
over In the budget can be car
ried over from year to year,
so it is to the Student As
sociation’s advantage to keep
track of expenditures.

In response to civil defense
equests for non-perishable
'Ods and clothing, 0111s helped
et up collection areas through-

ress conference in Raleigh to
nWlcize it. As part of Opera-

Planes from Pope Airforce

Having toured the area, he

even worse than everyone

washed up 30 feet above sea

Inland. Althou^ some 125 lives
were lost, and even more people
still missing, spirit remained
high in Mississippi.
Virginia, which was hit less
severely except in Isolated
areas, was promised $1000 per

Continuing in his effort to help
these people, last Sunday Ollis
helped raise $6000, using a-
mong other things, a two-
hour telethon on WFMY-TV in

more aware of the acuteness of
hurricane Camille. Ollis also
toured North Carolina and other
states in support of their cause,
receiving much publicity and
many contributions.
The North Carolina chapter of

Project Creativity Begins
New S. A. Program This Year
BY SARA LEE
In response to last year’s dis
cussion by many segments of
the college community about
making St. Andrews a more
well-rounded school. Project
Creativity was inaugurated as
an organized program to bring
students with unique talents to
the college.
As a result of the College
Council’s recommendation that
this be done, the college ad
ministration sought toput an ac
tive program into effect. “As
an Innovative college, St. An
drews sought new techniques
to bring a greater depth to the
school as opposed to mimicking
programs used by other
schools,” Dean Decker noted
yesterday.
It was decided to use the ap
proach of Dr. Calvin Taylor,
professor of psychology at the
University of Utah, who con
ducted extensive research on
the factor of creativity In an
Individual. The date, which, by
the way, was collected in North
Carolina schools, led him to
conclude that creativity was
measurable and, further, that
the creative factor was as im
portant if not more Important
than other factors measured by
traditional standards.
He wrote in a recent article,
“Creative Individuals tend to
be more self-sufficient. In
dependent, and venturesome,
and have a life history which
encouraged creative respon
ses. Their Intellectual charac
teristics include ability to be
puzzled and to sense problems,
originality and imagination,
flexibilities, resourcefulness,
innovativeness, elaboration,
and great Inner resources. .We
want students to be not merely
learners but also thinkers; not
only memotlzers and Imitators
but also searchers and inno
vators.”
Last spring, Dr. Taylor vi
sited the campus and it was
decided that St. Andrews, be
cause of its unique curriculum
set-up, was Ideally adapted for
utilizing such creative talents.
Dean Decker pointed out that
the college, at its own expense,
conducted tests devised by Dr.
Taylor to Identify desirable ap
plicants at selected high
schools. It was especially de
sirable to test a wide cross-

Deputation Team Revamped
Emphasis On Individuals
BY LOUIS SWANSON
For the past several years St.
Andrews has been sending
teams of students to various
churches in North Carolina
representing the College
Christian Council and the Ad
missions Department. The
teams were organized under the
obscure name of the Deputation
Team. At the time that it was
under the Influence of the Ad
missions Department its pri
mary purpose was that of re
cruiting new students. For the
last few years the College
Christian Council has seen the
team as being on effective fa
cade foi; insuring North Caro
lina churches that St. Andrews
was set on a steady course of
traditional Christian thought.
The Deputation Team re
cently went through an extensive
self-analysis session. It was
decided that the team:
(1) had no purpose
(2) had no intiative
(3) was not effective In meet
ing the needs of high school stu
dents
(4) had no follow-up program
As a result of this latest
self-evaluation the Deputation
Team is attempting to change
Its image. Led by Beth Bryant
and Henry Hall the team wants
to make Itself a valuable ex-
