School Share-It Breakfast Program
The Share-It Breakfast Pro-
gram was begun on Monday,
October 16, at the North Laurln
burg Elementary School, This
particular school was chosen
because it has more free lunch
children than any other primary
school in Laurlnburg. The pro
gram is intended as a pilot pro
ject to feed free all children in
this school who qualify for the
current free lunch program. If
a child does not qualify for the
current free lunch program,
she/he may participate in the
program by paying $,25 per day
for a meal. At present approxi
mately 200 children are fed
each day.
The long range goals of this
program are as follows: (1) to
assist the school system in aid
ing the children of low income
and d I s a d V a ntaged persons In
the North Laurlnburg School
District in gaining the neces
sary educational resources for
Improving their own situations
by removing an early barrier
to their development I, e., hung
er and its accompanying pro
blems, (2) to help the school
system reduce the drop-out
problem in the schools result
ing from children getting be
hind in their early years and
never catching up, (3) to pro
mote a greater degree of co-
operation among institutions
and agencies to expand this
project Into other schools, and
(5) to provide St. Andrews stu
dents with opportunities for in
volvement concerning ways of
effecting meaningful and con
structive change.
The goals for this year are;
(1) to feed breakfast dally to
all children in grades 1-3 at
North Laurlnburg Elementary
School who qualify for the cur
rent free lunch program, (2) to
assist the school system in
communicating a personal con
cern for these children, (3) to
aid the school system in ef
fecting an improvement in the
over-all school performance of
these children, and (4) to en
courage community agencies to
expand this project into the oth
er schools.
Each morning at7:30a,m. the
St. Andrews Peace Corps Vol
unteers arrive at North Laurln
burg School to help set-up the
tables for children. When the
children arrive the volunteers
help them in getting seated.
The volunteers also are taking a
personal interest in the child
ren and trying to develop a per
sonal relationship with each
child. There are approximate
ly 25 volunteers, eight of which
come every morning. Mrs. Cau-
sey, lunchroom manager at
North Carolina School., and her
staff also help In setting-up the
cafeteria. The children are
served cereal, milk, fruit or
juice. Sometimes hl^ protein
cookies or cheese toast is sub
stituted in the place of cereal,
This program was made pos
sible through the Co-operation
of the Superintendent of Lau-
Insurance, Inefficiency
Concern Food Committee
rected by John O'Neal, the com
pany focuses on the black ex
perience In the United States.
The play, “We Are The Suns,”
explores black life in the past
and present, emphasizing the
beauty and strength of the
black life force. “We are the
suns ... We are the ves
sels and center of life . . .
We are the people, and the
sound of the people, and the beat
of the people, and the being of
the people, yes we are, yes
we are, yes we are . . .”
Admission to all events is
free, and the public is cor
dially Invited to share with the
St, Andrews College Com-
mimlty In the international cul
tural festival. For further in-
fomation, please contact Dr.
Ronald C, Crossley, Chairman
of the festival at St, Andrews.
The food committee has met
several times already this year
and would like to let the rest
of the students know what we’ve
done and what we see as pro
blems of the new food service.
One of the first issues we
dealt with this year is the fact
that as of October the full-time
workers In the cafeteria still
had no hospitalization In
surance. This was a fault of the
company as they did not ar
range with an insurance com
pany to cover It. This became a
serious problem when at least
one employee came to need in
surance and did not have It. The
food committee expressed its
concern that such an important
facet of the food service’s du
ties had been neglected. As of
Nov. 1, however, the food ser
vice employees were finally
covered by Insurance.
Another major problem we
have tried to deal with is the
lack of efficiency in the cafe
teria. Constantly, this year we
find that ice trays are empty,
glasses, silverware, and food
have been out, and the salad
table is not kept up. We have
discussed this problem at every
jneeting with the managers and
have been told that this is a
result of the management not
being organized well enough and

Police Theory Courses
PBS To Feature Program
Of Candidates Tonight
BY LEE SHADLE
Mr, Lacy Gay one of the se
curity officers of Saint An
drews College just recently
completed a criminalogy course
at Richmond Technical Institute
In Rockingham, North Carolina.
The course which he took was
Basic Police Science that lasted
from September 11th to October
16th and was 160 hours. Of
ficer Gay said that he learned
many things in the course which
were;
1. the different traffic laws
2. the type of arrest laws,
for example the search and
seizure
3. preserving evidence of
crime
4. the different drug laws
which Included the different
catagories of drugs
5. the types of accident re
ports
6. the alcohol law
7. fire arm Instruction
The reason why Mr. Gay took
this course was that he wanted
to keep in contact with the
new trends in law enforcement
and he also wanted to make
It a. career. Also, he plans to
go back to school in May and
take a course in Advanced Cri
minal Investigation.
As for Officer Gay’s per
sonal life he is married and
has a son ten years old. He

that we should see an Improve
ment soon. This will remain a
major concern of the food com
mittee until it Is cleared up.
In Wednesday’s meeting, we
asked that breaifast open a
time on weekday mornings and
that it stay open after on the
weekends. George Maydanis,
manager, agreed to keep a con
tinental breakfast open until
10:00 on weekends. We also had
asked previously that menus
be posted for the students,
Mr. Maydanis said that this
would be done this week. How
ever, “Epicure specialty
night”, (the new equivalent of
steak night) will not be listed.
Therefore, one of the nights
wUl have a fake menu.
The food committee hopes to
function as an effective voice
of the students in regard to
their food service. We will con
tinue to be concerned both with
the quality of the food and ser
vice and the quality of working
conditions in the cafeteria. We
have functioned in the past as a
fairly influential committee and
hope that both students and the
food service will recognize this
and work with us. Students may
come to any member of the com
mittee withtheir complaints and
suggestions. We meet every
other Wednesday at 6:00 in the
Presidential dining room. All
are welcome to attend the meet
ings. The next meeting will be
Nov. 15.

Lance Poll Reveals
McGovern F avored
By 11 Over Nixon
The Lance recently conducted
a straw poll of the SA campus
to determine how the national
Presidential contest was re
flected in local student opinion.
Democratic contender George
McGovern was the winner with a
plurality of 46,6% to 35.6% for
President Nixon, with 2.9% un
decided and 14.6% not eligible
or not voting, A total of 311
ballots were turned in, for a
voting percentage of 38.8%, well
below the national average for
voters in general and for first
time voters, which most stu
dents are.
The victory for McGovern
was the reverse of the national
trend, in which the polls fore
cast a landslide victory for
Nixon, who now leads by up to
25 points in most polls. Recent
polls ofother campuses In North
Carolina also showed a lead
for Nixon.
The small voter turnout is
the one area where the Lance
poll seems to show the students
In agreement with national
trends. Nixon’s big lead In the
polls and the Image of Mc
Govern as a ‘radical’ are ex
pected to keep the voter turn
out small.
The large margin of voters
either ineligible or not voting
(14.6%) may be the hidden factor
in McGovern’s victory. Sev
eral of the ballots in this cate
gory indicated that the voter had
not registered or did not want
to vote for either candidate.
Several other ballots also Indi
cated that those voters had al
ready sent in absentee ballots
to their home states.

Poetry Of Three
Students Appears
In “Tar River”
Three St, Andrews students
have had portions of their poetry
selected to appear in this is
sue of East Carolina University
poetry magazine, “Tar River.”
Two of the SA students, David
Beale and Walter Bennett, re
ceived Honorable Mention in the
magazine said Vernon Ward,
editor of the “Tar River”. The
third student, Tim Tourtelotte
Is also to have some of his
poetry appear in the same is
sue.
This issue of the Tar River
will also have some works by
Sam Ragan, editor of the
“Southern Pines Pilot” who has
been affliated with St. Andrews
for several years.
The Senate met last night In
Winston-Salem lounge to dis
cuss and act upon several is
sues including a review of off-
campus residency belqg con
ducted by the Student Life Com
mit tee, holding elections to
determine student representa
tives to the community relations
committee, freshman repre
sentation on the Senate, and
to hear from Dean Decker about
progress being made on the
Health Center.
The Senate expressed con
cern over the reviewing of the
off-campus residency by the
Student Life Committee and
wanted to know what imput to
the sub-committees and any
recommendations that would be
forwarded to Dr, Hart, Presi
dent of the College, and to the
Faculty Executive Committee.
Roger Decker, Dean of Stu
dents, stated that the Imput of
the Senate to Student Life was
through their representative
Tom Warren, President of
Granville, and anyone who was
interested In sitting in the com
mittee’s meeting.
Decker stated in the event
that the recommendations of the
Student Life did not meet with
the approval of the Senate they
could take the Initiative and send
a bill up to Dr. Hart for con
sideration.
The job of the Student Life
Committee on this Issue is to
come up with what they con
sider to be “the Ideal” off-
campus residency policy which
would then pass on to the FEC
who would take into account
fiscal realities.
Review of the off-campus
residency was necessitated
when admissions of new students
fell off over previous years
leaving many students with off
campus housing commitments
and the possibility of being re
quired to move back on campus.
Next on the agenda, question
was raised over whether or not
faculty members would be per
mitted to vote and be elected
as St, Andrews representatives
to the Laurlnburg Community
Relation Committee,
The Community Relations
Committee originally grew out
of disturbances that occured at
Scotland High School last year.
It is comprised of three elected
representatives from each of
the ten voting precincts in the
county with SA constituting an
eleventh precinct since it has
problems, stances, and needs
that separate representation.
The question of faculty parti
cipation in the SA precinct arose
when George Fouke and other
faculty Tiembers were denied
the right to participate and run
for the available positions in
their precinct because they
were connected with SA, which
consistutes a separate precinct.
It was pointed out by Marsha
Waters that not all of the ten
precincts took the same stance
in their treatment of S.A, fa
culty.
Waters noted that Fowler
Dugger, editor of the SA alumni
news, had been elected to one
of the three representatives
from his precinct,
Tom Warren made a motion
establishing the SA precinct as
consisting of “All enrolled stu
dents of St, Andrews and any
other person living on cam
pus.” The motion, which
passed, was purposely phrased
to Include all students — In
cluding those residing off-cam
pus - as well as any other
community member who lives
on campus.
The Senate also passed a mo-
tion directing the elections
board to hold a self-nomlnatlon
period with balloting on Monday
for the campus to choose who
shall be their three represen
tatives to the Committee.
The first meeting is sche
duled for Monday night,
Stevie Daniels, president of
Wilmington Dorm, brou^t the
issue of freshman representa
tion in the Senate before the
meeting. Her proposal was for
an election to be held at which
time two freshmen would be
elected to the Senate, The need
for freshman representation
was because they have special
needs and problems and lack
an official spokesman from
their own ranks.
Waters, of Albemarle dorm,
stated that Senators are re
presentatives of their dorms —
not of their class. Miles Wea
ver, president of the Student
Association, stated that if
freshman were given special
representation then there were
other groups on campus who
could also lobby for special
representation and have a legi
timate argument.
Caroline Warren, of Albe
marle dorm, said her dorm had
a majority of freshmen with two
or three on the dorm council
which provided her with input
