Dissension Over Yearbook
Budget Dominate Senate
BY ELAINE THOMAS
The Senate held its first
meeting of the year Sunday
ni^t. Miles Weaver, presi
dent of the Senate, brou^t up the
issue of the 1972 and 1973 year
books, at the request of several
students. It was pointed out
that the Senate has no control
over the annual or other pub
lications, which are under the
legislation of the Publications
Board, but Weaver felt that
as the Senate was concerned
with general student interests
it could check and see what
students want and then refer to
the information to the Lamp &
Shield and the Publications
Board.
The controversies over the
yearbook were basically the
ones stated in a Dialogue dis
tributed on Monday: the ques
tion of a theme and inadequate
coverage of some aspects of
campus life in the 1972 year
book; and the questions of a
paperback cover, a reduction
in the size, and a reduction in
the number of pages in the
1973 yearbook. Some students
feel that perhaps they had not
been given a chance to voice
their opinions on the paper
back cover, and the reduction
of the yearbook to 152 pages
(approximately 100 less than
last year).
Karen Kennedy, editor of the
Lamp & Shield for both 1972.
and 1973, was present at the
Senate meeting and pointed out
that all positions for the annual
staff were made open last
year to allow anyone who was
interested the opportunity to

liunV Student Center
BY MARGUERITE SIMPSON
The St. Andrews Riding Club
will have its organizational
meeting on Wednesday, Septem
ber 20, 1972 at 8:00 in the P.E.
building. (The room number will
be noted on posters hung all
around the campus.) It is very
important that all interested -
old and new - students be pre
sent to discuss reorganlzational
policies.
Wien the Riding Club was es
tablished 3 years ago, it was to
be a co-operative effort by
students for students; it was to
provide an opportunity for
members to bring horses or to
rent horses or to learn to ride.
The first year (‘69-‘70) the
club was extremely active with
14 - 20 members. The second
year, more people were carried
on the roll, but the percentage
of active members dropped.
Last year the club was not
what it should have been; about
10 people did the work (feeding,
cleaning-up, clearing land, etc.)
while 60 people were supposed
ly members. Work days came
and went with about 20% par
ticipation. A laxity and semi-
interest may be alright in an
other club, but in a club in
work on the yearbook, and no
one applied for any of the posi
tions. She further pointed out
that the proposed yearbook
changes had twice been taken
before both the Student Life
Committee and the Publications
Board with no objections voiced.
She said she had distributed
questionnaires at one time prior
to the 1972 annual to find out
what students would like to see
in their yearbook, and had re
ceived minimal and apathetic
answers.
Discussion was held as to
what action could be taken by
the Senate to further discover
the wishes of the stuent body
on the matter. A motion was
made and carried by a vote of
6-5 for a poll to be conducted
by the Senate in cooperation with
the Lamp & Shield in order to
see how the students truly felt.
The poll was in no way binding;
it was intended to help Ken
nedy in her decisions about the
yearbook. She agreed to con
sider the wishes shown, but
pointed out that a contract had
already been signed with the
publishing company.
The poll questionnaries were
distributed Wednesday and tal
lied on Thursday. The results
were: 276 against the cut In
length to 152 pages, 81 in favor
of the cut; 261 against the cut
in size to 8 1/2” x 11”,
101 in favor; 294 were against
the change to paperbackbindlng,
68 were in favor of it; 269

which live animals are de
pendent on the co-operative ef
forts of the mem\>ers, these
conditions of irresponsibility
are intolerable.
It is possible this year that
a man may be hired to do some
of the feeding and cleaning up„
This will require a slight in
crease in fees for riding and
horse - boarding; the finances
should be discussed on the 20th.
The club should plan to go ahead
with the new pasture and barn
project that has been planned
behind Granville. The tree-
clearing was done two sum
mers ago and part of the stump-
clearing and branch removal
was carried out last year. The
pasture and perhaps the barn
are within the realm of pro
bability this year, but for the
club to retain its viability, it
must be made of active mem
bers. Without having to feed
or clean up, there is no rea
son why each member cant
spend time helping to trans
form our dream into a reality.
It would be untrue to say that
no work would be involved, but
the fun can go along with it if
everyone is in it together. The
planned programs of organized

Off- Campus
Clarified By
BY JEFF NEILL
Student Life met last Monday
to formulate and recommend a
policy to Victory Arnold con
cerning those students request
ing off-campus residency. In at
tendance were twenty students
who had requested off-campus
residency. The controversy
over off-campus residency
arose when the dorms failed to
fill to capacity as in previous
years thereby making It tech
nically Impossible for any sin
gle student to move off-campus.
However, many students had
m a d e f i n ancial arrangements
for off-campus housing in ex
pectation of being allowed to
move off. These students faced
having to pay for off-campus
housing for at least a month
(some for two or more) while
also paying for a room on cam
pus.
Those students who had ab
stained off-campus had been
made prematurally optimistic
by receiving hi^ ranking on
a newly established priority
list that established the order
in which students would be
granted off-campus residency.
The ranking was determined
by whether a student was a
member of a creative living
project, then by class rank,
and age.
Th o s e who acted prematu
rally in obtaining off-campus
housing were also motivated by
the acute housing shortage in
the surrounding area. These
students feared if they waited
until they were definitely ap
proved for off-campus before
looking for housing, they might
not be able to find any there
by neither having a house, or a
room on campus In which to
live.
Those wishing off-campus
residency were in an aggravat
ed and concerned mood at the
time of the Student Life meet
ing as they had been told “no
comment” or “we still have
vacancies in the dorm” by both
Dean Decker and Dean McNair.
When asked at one point how
many would leave school if not
Housing Plan
Committee
granted off-campus permission
7 students, including Trisha’
Smith, President of the Student
Association raised their hands.
Trisha Smith, President of
the Student Association and ex-
offlcio member of Student Life
expressed the opinion that the
“institution was playing” with
those students wishing off-
campus residency.
This feeling arose from the
way in which the Personnel Of
fice handled final approval for
off-campus residency. Accord
ing to the Saltire, all the dorms
must be filled before off-cam
pus residency can be granted.

Union To Start
Free University
BY JOHN GIVENS
A Free University Is being
established at St. Andrews as a
means of strengthening its re
lations with the Laurinburg
community. The purpose is to
bring together many untapped
skills and Intellectual re
sources spread between the
community of Laurinburg and
the campus of St. Andrews.
Under the coordination of Bob
Chaiken, Director of the Stu
dent Union, classes are being
formed by those who have a
unique skill and wish to share
it with others. You don’t have
to be an expert. The non-credit
classes will range from auto
mechanics to embroidering in,
the hopes of drawing enough in
terest to get classes started.
Sometime within the first two
weeks of October, classes will
begin with meeting times and
places left up to the course
directors. The classes, of
course, will be open to any
one and will range In any size.
The cost of the courses will
be nominal with expenditures
for only the materials. If any,
for the course. If you have any
questions or suggestions, con
tact Bob Chaiken (Ext. 342) at
the Student Union.
