As one of my final steps as editor, 1 would like to offer the
Dean of the College some friendly advice to Insure students
well-being of mind.
Following a directive of the Faculty Executive Committee,
the Dean sent out form letters to students who had received
two F’s or three warnings at mid-term. The only trouble Is
that In the form letter sent out it Is stated: “We are quite
disturbed by your low grades at this grading period. You
certainly need to give more time and effort to your class work
and attend all classes regularly, if you hope to remain at St.
Andrews.
“A marked Improvement In the quality of your work for the
remainder of this term will be essential If you are to con
tinue In college. The Executive Committee cannot permit you
to return to summer school or to return in September unless
your grades have Improved enough to meet the requirements
as stated in the current college catalog on pages 35 and 36,”
the letter continues.
Sounds real official, which it is, but an acquaintance of mine
received a letter such as this, as did his parents and his ad
visor. The only trouble Is, he has a 2.72 average. He did re
ceive three mid-term grades, but even if he received these
grades he would have a cumulative average of 2.33. This is a
little better than the 1.70 needed to be a Junior. No doubt the
receipt of such a letter at home cause quite a stir and frus
tration. And to add to the problem, his parents received the
letter before he did.
My suggestion Is that the Dean of the College in acting for
the Faculty Executive Committee draw up another form letter
for cases such as the before mentioned. I am certain that this
Is not one Isolated case. Even If It were, the frustration was
uncalled for, because the letter the student and his parents
received did not affect him personally as his average shows.
Last spring, when the editorship of THE LANCE was of
fered to me 1 thought It over quite alot. I had a slight idea
of the work load of a sophomore, but I found that my Ideas
were nothing compared to the reality. Also, 1 was unaware of
the large responsibility facing the editor of the newspaper.
The two combined have been a real burden this year and I am
afraid my Interest in the paper has dwindled.
Next year. In being fair to THE LANCE and to the student
body 1 am offering my resignation. This does not mean that I
want to stop writing. I will help the new editor in any way I
can, but 1 don’t think I could be editor another year and remain
at St. Andrews.
We have attempted to present a campus oriented newspaper
this year. Larger newspapers cover international and national
news far better than we possibly could. We feel that we have
presented a readable paper this year, and hopefully a more ex
citing one than last year. THE LANCE is a newspaper, with
an editorial page that has always been open to guest editorials.
But few took the opportunity to write for us. Many say that
this Is our fault and that students were afraid to approach us.
Several times we have Issued pleas to the student body for
writers. Few answered.
Next year 1 hope the students will feel an Interest in the
paper. THE LANCE can be improved greatly, but only through
‘he student body’s help. Four people cannot handle the reason-
slblllty of covering all campus activities and it Is not fair to
expect them to. It is a co-operative situation.

our oppressive society, sup

The same contradictions and
disparities of which we are
aware in Viet Nam and in the
United States' policies are right
here at St. Andrews. Todd cited
the attempts and failures of
campus workers to unionize:
“150 people--who do not re
ceive one or at most two weeks
of vacation a year, who cannot
join In the accident insurance
program the college furnishes
for faculty and administration.”

Dear Sir:
Some time ago you wrote me
In response to a report you
had received about Miss Patti
Horn and her activities in Ghana
last summer. You had asked If
there would be future possi
bilities for St. Andrews stu
dents to participate in a similar
type program.
We will definitely feature this
same program during the com
ing summer vacation, and we
need more workers than we had
last year. In fact we hope that
4-6 students from the States can
join us, for the program isbelng
expanded. Not only will we have
the activity program for child
ren which Patti help lead (in
art, music, games, etc.), but
we will be Involved In building
six rooms on to the village
school house where Patti and the
others were helping to renovate
last summer. U.S. AID has de
cided to donate money for this
purpose, which means we will
definitely need workers. I am
therefore appealing to you to
offer this challenge to St. An
drews students in hopes that
some might be able to come out
and help us. For concrete in
formation on costs, housing and
food, etc. write to Rev. Tom
Finley Brown, Board of World
Missions, Box 330, Nashville,
Tenn. 37202. He said that he
sent Information on our pro
gram to some 25 Presbyterian
related colleges recently, so I
Imagine that someone there on
your staff has received this in
formation.
Thank you for your Interest.
Sincerely,
Harry F. Petersen, III

The group presented four de
mands to the Dean.
“1. That non-academic em
ployees not be laid off from
their jobs because of any fi
nancial crises in the college.
2. That non-academic em
ployees on this campus all be
given at least the minimum
wage; that they be given legal
contracts protecting their right
to work at this institution at
least until the end of each year;
that they be not only allowed to
unionize themselves, but that
they be allowed to seek outside
professional help to unionize.
3. That the Senate of the
student body be given access to
the general scheme of finan
cial investment, resources, and
means of income for St. An
drews College; that this be done
with the intention of examining
the political ties of this in
stitution, and with the intem
of examlng any possible ’
