The concertmaster of Hart To Heart Talk On Sense Of Purpose To the St. Andrews Community: Welcome back for another gratUylng year! You have noticed some physi cal changes that are either completed or underway. The LA auditorium is being remodeled extensively for more effective use. The “tin can” is being revamped to provide more ade quate facilities for WSAP, for the College Christian Council, and for a coffeehouse. The art program has moved into the lower Hoor of the LA building to accommodate functional specialization. Offices for fac ulty and administrative use have been expanded and improved. Academic changes also are evident. Many courses have been updated and strengthened. Others that had outlived their usefulness have been dropped. Sustained effort will continue to be applied to Improve the total academic program. In these and other efforts there have been significant “in puts” from students as well as from faculty, staff, and out side consultants.
