England, Scotland Tour Planned For Winter Term The St. Andrews College Choir is planning to tour in Scotland and England next Jan uary. The choir tour will be an adjunct feature of the winter term course, “Contemporary Practices In Church Music in Great Britain”, taught by Pro fessors Thomas Somerville, di rector of the College Choir, and John Williams, who will be or ganist for the tour. The choir will sing at univer sities, colleges and churches in England and Scotland, some times staying in homes and sometimes in hotels. Mr. Somerville plans to em phasize American music in the choir’s procram. He beUeves English audiences would be more interested in hearing an American choir sing music by American composers than in hearing a program of musical- ready familiar in Great Bri tain. Some choral pieces by the “blg-name” American com posers, such as Aaron Cope land and Randall Thompson, will be sung, and the choir will Include music by lesser-known Americans, such as Halsey Ste vens, Mr. Somerville’s com position teacher at the Univer sity of Southern California, and Richard Peek from Charlottfi, N.C.

The first constitutional amendment passed by theI.D.S. was proposed by Men’s and Women’s Residence courts. The amendment would give the At torney General the power to combine the two courts at his own discretion. It also changed the quorum percentage for men’s residence court from 7 5% to 70%, The most important part of the amendment provides for a clear definition of the duties of the Dorm Council. It gives the Dorm Council the right to be a l^lslative body, a right which the Dorm Council has assumed up to now. It al so defines the Dorm Council’s relationship to the Judiciary System by granting them juris diction in cases concerning dorm policies, which are not in conflict with school policies. The second constitutional a- mendment is aimed at a re^ structing of the Student Life Committee. It would replace the advisor to the LANCE with a faculty member and replace the editor of the LANCE with an additional student. The a- mendment would also remove the Dean of Students as the automatic chairman of the com mittee and instead would elect the chairman from the com mittee at large. The Senate approved the ap pointment of the following peo ple: Tony Fernandez, Senate Representative to the Student Life Committee; Peggy Oliver, to the Student Faculty Appel late Board; Janie McLawhom, Sec-treasury of the College Christian CounoU; Cathie Hurl- l)ert, Paula Nance, Vickie Ven- drell, Karen Seawell, to Wo men’s Residence Court. Corey Edwards, Gayle Calloway and Don Stroud to the Elections Board. Mac Crosswell-Chalr- man, Mary Ljjn Mimdy, Millie Gibson. Sid Atkinson, Mary Blackmann and Larry Burn, Handbook Committee; Ruth Hartley, Cathie Van Gorderm and Glenn Hundertmark, to Graduation Committee; Louis Swanson, and Sam Sutton to the Faculty Executive Commit tee, and Ken Watkins, President pro-tem of the Senate. Faculty Proposes Judicial Changes BACCANALIA BLASTl See pa«e ttiree for details. BY CHARLIE PRATT In a recent faculty meeting, Mr. WiUiam Alexander moved that the Student-Faculty Ap pellate Board be removed from being an Institution of the Col lege approved by the Board of Trustees, and be made a court provided for in the student con stitution. In his words, “In providing the necessary organi zation for the conduct of stu dent life and activities, the Faculty shall establish directly or indirectly a judicial system representing students, faculty, and administration of St. An drews, and prescribe its juris dictions, with the actions of the judiciary subject to re view by the President of the CoUege. Such a judiciary shall follow due process according to accepted principles. No case decided by the judiciary shall be tried again by the CoUege, but no decision of any judicial Ixidy may be implemented with out the approval of the Presi dent of the College. A more complete statement on the ju diciary, its memberships and responsibilities, may appear in a student handbook or con stitution.” Mr. Alexander indicated that this new wording, which re places Article VI, Sectlco 12, of the Facility Handbook, would permit changes In the judiciary system approved by the stu dents and the Faculty without submitting the changes to the Board of Trustees. The reasoning behind the statement that “the Faculty shall establish directly or In directly a judicial system re presenting students, faculty, and administration,” is his torical. When the college first began, faculty had the limited (Continued to page 3) Dean Announces Division Heads Dean Davidson announced to day changes In division heads, the American Studies Steering Committee and the decision of Oie College Council on student representation. Dr. J. Rod Fulcher will re place Dr. Harvin as chairman of History and Social Sclenoes, while Art McDonald will head flw Music, Art, and Theatre division in place of Miss Helen Rogers.
