Snack Bar Costs
Will Exceed $20,000
BY MARSHALL GRAVELY
As everbody on campus knows
by now, St. Andrews has a new
and very different snack bar.
What is lesser known is some
of the facts about its design
and cost.
The designfor the newfacility
was conceived by Richard Mc
Cord and Howard Cobbs, twoSt.
Andrews graduates, with the
technical assistance of Prof.
Arthur McDonald. The motif
for the design is Old English,
which was chosen for its re
lation to the Scottish heritage
of St. Andrews. The atmosphere
was designed to be similar to
an English pub, with several
antiques secured from England
by Prof. McDonald during his
travels there to enhance the
atmosphere.
Also of interest to the stu
dents may be the cost of the
new facility. According to the
present figures, the project has
cost something over $20,000.00
so far with the work still in
complete. Accounts made avail
able by Dr. Julian Davis, Busi
ness Manager for the college,
show that total costs for fiscal
1971 amounted to 13,009.27 and
that costs for the current year
have already reached 7,915 dol
lars. Construction is now com
plete, but a number of extra
neous items have been pur
chased and other complications
in the construction are expected
to drive costs even higher be
fore the snackbar is considered
finished.
Chief among the construction
problems are the problem of the
charcoal grill and the wiring
problems for the pizza ovens.
The charcoal grill was pur
chased at an approximate cost
of $160 after which it was dis
covered that the exhaust system
would have to be modified at a
minimum cost of $300 to make
it usable because of the volume
of smoke generated. The wiring
problem has resulted from the
necessit" to provide more vol
tage foi he pizza ovens which
were installed. New circuits
had to be installed to supply
these ovens, which is why pizza
is not yet available.
These items are just a few
of the things which students
should remember when they
go to our beautiful new snack
bar. It is not without its own
problems.

Investigation Of
High Pay Scale
BY JEFF NEILL
An investigation was insti
tuted Monday by Joanne Foil,
Attorney General of the Student
Association, into the possible
expenditure of inappropriate
sums of money by Rod Brown,
Student Association Treasur
er.
Foil initiated the investiga
tion when information came to
her attention that Brown had
paid himself and other students
$2.50 an hour to clean out and
distribute refrigerators at the
beginning of the semester.
Such a high pay scale seem
ed to have been arbitrarily set
excessive in amount, and done
without approval of the Cabinet.
The pay scale seemed espe
cially excessive in lieu of the
fact students on workships earn
between $1.60 an hour - for
most jobs - to $2.00 an hour
for jobs such as professor’s
assistance.
Jay Bender, former Stu
dent Association Treasurer,
stated refrigerators were dis
tributed soley by Cabinet mem
bers last year. A recommen
dation made by Bender to the
Cabinet and to Tricia Smith,
then President of the Student
Association, called for a par
tial workship of $150.00 to be
made available thru refrigera
tor rentals to a student who
would assume full responsibi
lity for distributing refrigera
tors and handling the financial

Wednesday Meeting
BY JEFF NEILL

Secretary of the Student As

tested by Phil Bradley and Bar
bara Watkins. Bradley, a fresh-

man, stated he felt the freshman
class, the largest of the four
classes, was inadequately re-
presented in St udent govern
ment. He also said he believed
he would counter-balance a
Cabinet that he believed to be
largely conservative. Bradley
withdrew following the first bal
lot and Daniels won on the se
cond ballot.
Daniels, President o^Wil-
mington Dorm, will now have to
resign her position as sena
tor since the constitution stipu
lates that ‘ ‘no one may hold
more than one elected position
(Continued to Page 2)
Stevie Daniels, appointed last
night as the Studeat Association
Secretary by the Senate, an
nounced today her decision not
to accept the appointment. Miles
Weaver, Student Association
President was informed of her
decision earlier today.
Her reasons for not accept
ing the position were based upon
an assessment of her schedule.
She told the Lance this after
noon that she had originally
wanted the position because she
felt a responsible person should
fill the position and that she
wanted to counter balance those
already on the cabinet.
Since then she realized her
time would be stretched too
thin and she would not be able
to adequately perform the duties
entailed the position.
Also influencing her decision
was a changed opinion of Phil
Bradley, who she now feels
would be a responsible and con
structive addition to the Cabi
net,
Daniels stated that given the
amount of time she had budgeted
she felt she could be more ef
fective in the Senate represent
ing her dorm.
The position was originally
vacated when Glenda Buck, the
Student Association Secretary
elected last year, decided to
spend her junior year studing in
Germany. The problem of filling
the vacancy will once again re
vert to the Senate who will have
to decide upon a new appoint
ment to fill the position of Stu
dent Association Secretary.
Budget, Planning Problems
End Project Creativity
BY JACKIE DOVE AND
WANDA PATTERSON
Three years ago, during the
1969-1970 academic year, St.
Andrews initiated the “Project
Creativity” program in order to
provide the opportunity for
those students who were econo
mically unable to attend college
but exhibited high innermost
creativity as rated by the Alpha
biographical test to matriculate
here. The administration hoped
that this project would also help
to diversify the social and
cultural backgrounds of the stu
dents being accepted here.
Project Creativity was de
signed on a five year schooling
plan. This meant that any stu
dent who needed to take a re
duced course load (and this was
recommended for every stu
dent’s first semester) could do
so, and still be recognized by
St. Andrews as a full time stu
dent. All the project students
were involved m a counseling
program and were given special
original 26 participants re
turned as sophomores with an
average SAC of 2.05. Of those
who had not returned only one
was for academic reasons.
However, after the end of the
third year, the project’s re
tention rate had dropped to 40%.
This meant that out of the 43
students (25 black, 18 white)
who had enrolled under the pro
ject, only 19 are still here.
Project Creativity advisors
believed that the project’s low
tutoring sessions in C&C and
STMS if needed.
The first year of the Pro
ject’s existence seems to prove
that it was at least a worth
while experiment. This is a very
understandable assumption
based on the fact that 19 of the
