THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1970 THE LANCE College System Explained PAGE THREE (Continued from page 1) lotted by the business office. The amount not accounted for was $17,000. The third reason was the result of Inaccurate predictions. Four years ago the college attempted to project enrollment figures for this year based on the Increasing enroll ment they were then experienc ing, 1100 students should have been attending this college this year according to its forecast. And so the college began pre paration then by Increasing the faculty and improving facilities and programs. But the projec tions were not fulfilled as en rollment stabilized, and there fore the college has over-ex tended itself. In addition infla tion has taken its toll here as the price level over the last three years has increased 19%. To compensate for this, the college has raised the level of charges 16% over the last three year period. Since the college can change their cost basis only on an annual sequence, it can not be as flexible or as change able as the society in regard to money value. Thus for next year, there will be some cutbacks on faculty personnel so that the ratio be tween number of students per faculty member will become 13 to 1 instead of this year’s 11.3 to 1. This will still be much better than the national average of 15 to 1. Another proposal to get out of debt involves dip ping into the principle of St. Andrews’s endowment. In order to continue receiv ing support from all sectors of society, the college must re main a viable institution attrac tion, both funds and students. Therefore the college must con tinue to function according to its objectives in correlation with the members within the college system and without. The via bility of the college depends on the interaction of people within the community. McLean & Company Explores Mexico (Continued from Page 2) ders of a rich past. Chichen Itza was a magnificent place with the castlllo, the ball court, the palace of the warriors, and the observatory. Kabah and Ix- mal will remain in the thoughts of many because of the “tem ple of the nuns”. . .others will remember these places because of Henry (no one can forget Henry) carrying a 40-ton suit case of camera attachments up and down the Impossible pyra mid known as "the Temple of the Magician.” Leaving the Yucatan Pen insula, and pressing onward to Villa Hermosa, the group began to look and act a little more Mexican and not as much "tou- rista”. During the 3-day visit in Villa Hermosa Palenque in trigues one and all with its green e r y, mountain streams, Impressive architecture, spec tacular tombs, and waterfalls. Some went swimming at Palen que, some talked with a Cana dian tourist, and good ole ‘ ‘ Bos” slept the afternoon away atop a pyramid. The journey continued from Villa Hermosa and the singing lamp posts to Oaxaca, the last leg of the trip. In Oaxaca, bargaining was at an all-time high. Cigarette lighters, ca meras, and quarters were em ployed to talk down merchants for their goods. Arch Baker, Pete Benson and Loretta Parks joined Richard Beach (that’s me) in exhibiting a bargaining skill never needed in the gro cery store, department store, or shops in the U.S. Dr. Mc Lean conversed with the mer chants in Swahili while Mrs. Wetmore and her followers in sulted the dealers by paying the set price and spoiling the fun of shopping. “Senior Mike’ li vened up tours of the museum In Oaxaca and the trips to Mitia, Yagul, and Monte Alban. Just about everyone wanted to help excavate the remaining 42 square miles of Monte Alban which is still untouched by the archaeologists. Even writing the paper for the course wasn’t a chore when it finally came time to do so. Following the papers, a party. Whew! What a party it was — it was a farewell to many experiences never-to-be-forgotten and a discovery that many on the trip could dance a hat dance better than the Mexicans! (Heh, Heh, isn’t that right Terry, Loretta, and B. B. ?) A final farewell to Mexico came on January 28, 1970. Mc Lean and mob fearlessly met customs inspection in Houston and experienced a sensation not felt in a month-drinking foun tains that were safe! Tom Kip left a friend (as did the rest of the group) in Houston, and the rest proceeded homeward to Charlotte and then SA. All in all one might think a trip such as this past winter term in Mexico is limited to those who were fortunate e- nough to travel there -- not so -- just ask any of the motley crew—they’ll be glad to share Mexico with you. Top & Bottom, Inc. NEW SHIPMENT OF SPRING PANTS & SPORTCOATS & SHIRTS JUST ARRIVED $iyO-20.00 PANTS STILL After giving this prepared lecture, Dr. Hart received questions from the floor. Dr. Hart was asked to relate the concept of open forms with his systems approach. He dis cussed the problem of rumors which go beyond the walls of this community and discourage people who would finance this institution. Also he mentioned that such rumors discourage whole poups of potential stu dents in the society. Inter nally, the 24 hour open dorm situation affects those persons not taking advantage of it, namely the roommate of the person who does use open dorm. If one person cannot function within the operational system, whether it be an inconvenience in studying or an inability to live a normal life in the dorm, then this will hurt the whole operation of the system.
