SA-Laurinburg Tension Due To
Faculty Activity In Politics
RV nrfTr> xTT-i»» _
BY JEFF NEILL
It has become evident to some
St. Andrews community mem
bers that relations beweenS, A.
and Laurinburg have been rap
idly deteriorating. Tensions and
antagonisms between the two
have risen at an alarming rate.
The rift that has occurred
between S. A. and Laurinburg
is not a sudden thing, nor are
the reasons behind it simplis
tic. Actions, reactions, and
exaggerations by both sides
have precipitated the present
situation.
During the past week The
Lance has gone into town to
investigate what has caused
the present antagonism. A
report of our findings follows:
According to one source we
spoke to, ' ‘we have got to rea
lize the honeymoon between St.
Andrews and Laurinburg is
over.” We have got to adapt
to one another’s presence.
Eleven years ago, when S.
A. first opened, there was a
certain amount of glamour at
tached to the college. It was to
be a college for the commu
nity. Many people gave contri
butions because they were told
contributions then would result
in a reduction of tuition v^en
their children were ready for
college. At that time, tution was
relatively low for a private
college.
Tuition in the last several
years has risen as a result of
inflation and an increase in
the quality of professors at
tracted to S. A. No special
allowances are made in tui
tion costs for Scotland County
residents and the tutitlon places
S. A. above what most people
in Laurinburg can afford.
Laurinburg first became cri
tical of S. A. several years ago
when they participated in the
alcohol referendum, stated one
per son. It was then that Lau
rinburg began to take a second
look at S. A. — some of the
glamour was wearing off.
A chief source of antagonism,
according to one of the people
URGENT; Aides are needed
for handicapp students for this
summer. The job pays $150 per
5 week term. Those interested
are asked to contact Dr. Urie
or Mrs. McKenzie in the Per
sonnel Service.
Proposal On Felonies
Draws Varied Reaction
BY GLENDA BUCK
ELAINE THOMAS
A proposal from the Code of
Responsibility committee was
unanimously voted against by
the Student Senate on Tuesday,
May 9. The proposal read as
follows:
to: the student senate
from; the Code of Responsibility
committee
We of the Code of Resi)onsi-
bllty committee, realizing that
St. Andrews cannot function as
an institution of criminal reha-
bUitation, do hereby recom
mend that any member of the
college community (staff, fa
culty, administration, or stu
dent body) who is convicted of
a felonious crime be suspended
from duties and/or prlvUeges at
the college.
We believe that the removal
of the Individual from the com
munity will serve the best in
terests of both the one and the
whole.

we spoke to, comes from the
behavior of the SA faculty —
and to a lesser extent the stu
dents themselves.
C e r t a in faculty members,
acting on their own accord with
nothing relating them except
the college, created several
incidents that "shocked”
townspeople. One such example
we heard of occured when a
faculty member, teaching Sun
day School for the first time,
spoke on the topic, “Why we
should accept the homosexual.”
The next week he brought a
homosexual to speak to the
group.
Our source felt that this might
be fine for college students, but
that shock treatment of this
nature in front of a mixed group
on this subject was not accept
able.
Of major proportions, said
the people we spoke to, is fa
culty -- and now some stu
dents — Involvement in Scot
land County politics. Two years
ago, a liberal “take-over” of
the political structure in Scot
land County created major re-
sentment. William Winn, a

On Irresponsible Acts
BY JEFF NEILL AND TRICIA SMITH
As Editor of The Lance and as President of the Student Body, and
as individuals, we do not condone the student outbursts of last
Wednesday night. As a community devoted to intellectual pursuit
we feel the irrational and irresponsible behavior of some stu
dents was contradictory to the expressed purpose for our being
here.
At the same time we feel the reporting of the events as covered
by “The Laurinburg Exchange” was over dramatized unneces
sarily thereby encouraging further irrationality and irrespon
sibility on both the part of students and towns people. We must
work together as a community and with Laurinburg to find a
viable solution.
