Urban Conference Held
St. Andrews was host last
week to three distinguished
speakers who participated in
the Conference on Com
parative Urbanization spon
sored by C&C 402, Studies in
the Future. They were Dr.
Bslaunde-Terry, former
President of Peru; Mr. David
Parry, consultant to the Cen
ter for Urban Studies in
Washington, D.C.; and Dr.
Nathan Wright former chair-
iian of the National Con
ference on Black Power.
Dr. Belaunde spoke on
Tuesday night, (February 13)
about some of the particular
'U'ban problems of city plan
ning in Peru. He also ad-
^essed the junior C&C class,
and spoke to other classes in
politics. According to him, the
^ain concerns of South
™erican urban planners are
decent housing, slum clearan-
and decentralization of the
population into new cities.
Mr. Parry pres^ted a
shde show and commentary,
also on Tuesday, about the
problems of cities in Western
and Eastern Europe. The
points he stressed were that
European cities, especially
Stockholm and Helsinki, had
been willing to remake their
environment. The mam
problems were redevelopment
of areas destroyed in World
War II, historical preser
vation of old buildings, and the
handling of traffic as more of
their citizens bought cars.
Dr. Wright gave a speech
Wednesday afternoon about
the metaphysical issues of ur
banization, in which he
stressed that human needs
should be the first priority of
any city planners. He said that
urban planning was usually
done too scientifically, and
that the citizens of a city
should come before us
buildings.
The final session of the con
ference was Wednesday night,
when Mr. Parry and Dr.
Wright held a panel discussion
and answered questions about
their ideas and urban
problems in general.
Plans For Chj^pel Completed;
Forum On Finances Tonight
The Belk Memorial Chapel
to be built on Chapel Island is
nearing the end of itsplaiming
stages. A. 0. Odell, the archi
tect for St. Andrews, will com
plete the working drawings in
the next few months. The
actual construction of the
building, after a contractor is
chosen, will begin within a
year.
The money for the Chapel
"was received throu^ the For
ward Campaign which began
accepting funds five years ago.
Though there are not exact
figures, the projected cost
of the building is $500,000.
The bulk of the money for the
building Is coming from the
Belk family of North Carolina.
A Bell Tower (Schulmerich
Carillon) will also be buUt on
the site at a cost of $25,000.
The money for the bell tower
is coming from a separate
fund. A Shantz organ has been
ordered at the cost of $85,000,
with this money taken from a
third fund.
The height of the building
will be 86 feet. The functional
part of the building will be
66 feet, comprising four
floors. Two floors will house
the college pastor and the
counseling service. The first
floor will have the rest room
facilities and the chapel sanc
tuary. The remaining 20 feet
will be a spire on the face of
the structure. The fourth floor
will house the machinery for
the operation of the chapeL
The chapel is intended to be
a functional building. There
will be a pulpit area, a choir
area, and a small stage for
religious dramas on different
sides of the sanctuary. The
building will hold 220 people
and will have no fixed seating
so as to allow for the viewing
of a organ concert, a play,
or a sermon or lecture.
As well as being functional
the chapel is intended to be
symbolically aesthetic. The
chapel is designed from tri
angular shape to represent
the Trinity with the mass of
glass windows to show out
ward reflection rather than
inward. Even the location is
to be symbolic, the chapel re
presenting thebody-mind
dualism coming together in the
church.
Tonight there will be a
meeting of those Interested in
the social implications of the
building of the chapel. There
are a number of students who
are dissatisfied with many as
pects of the plan. Some do not
like the location, some prefer
putting the money into some
thing which will be used by
more students, and still others
feel that the money should go
to areas outside of ihe St.
Andrews campus which de
sperately need it. Whatever
your feelings and ideas on
these subjects, come share
in the open forum at 7:30 In
room LA 132.
In Brief
HELP!
The Lance is in dire need of
writers, workers, etc., as can
be seen from this issue.
Unless the students at SA are
interested enough to provide
some of this needed help, this
could well be the last Lance
published this year. For finan
cial reasons as well as staff
reasons, the Lance cannot
continue without assistance.
Therefore, the staff urges any
interested persons to contact
Marshall Gravely at ext. 273.
If you have any news, etc. to
report and would like it in the
paper, please do the same.
The Lance is a student
newspaper. If the students are
not willing to help with it, or if
it is just “not worth the
hassle”, then it will not con
tinue. This is not designed as a
complaint against apathy -- it
is just a simple statement of
fact. So, if you care enough to
read the paper and complain
when it doesn’t have any news
or when the news in it does not
adequately what is hap-
pening(?) on this campus do
something about it. No writing
or news experience is
necessary for the work we
need done. Mostly, though, we
just need to have people be
concerned. Otherwise, it s all
over for the paper, and by in
ference, for everything else at
SA that matters (other than
dope, beer, parties, and
related hedonism).
The recital scheduled two weeks ago by Allan Porter, pro
fessor of music at Methodist College, will be performed this Sun
day at 8 in the Liberal Arts Auditorium. Mr. Porter will sing
“The Beautiful Miller’s Daughter”, a song cycle by Schubert,
and will be accompanied by Mr. Harlan Duenow, director of the
Fayetteville Symphony.
The SA cycling club will have its first trip of the semester
beginning this Sunday at 1:30 p.m. The destination for this
outing is Hasty. All interested cychsts are invited to come along.
