Trustees Act To Plan
Long-Range Land Use
Comprehensive planning for
the next decade or more both
in terms of physical assets and
educational goals and ob
jectives was the chief topic as
trustees of St. Andrews
Presbyterian College held
their semi-annual meeting
Ihursday. At a luncheon con
cluding the meeting
Congressmen L. H. Fountain
and Earl B. Ruth, both mem
bers of the board of trustees,
spoke briefly on past and
future directions of federal aid
tohigher education.
Tlie two Congressmen also
took part in the placing of
plaques of appreciation “to
the American people for their
financial assistance” on two
campus buildings constructed
in part with federal funds.
Trustees also voted
associate professor emeritus
status for Miss Leta McIntyre
who retires from the faculty
later this year after teaching
since 1942 at St. Andrews and
its forerunner. Flora Mac-
donald. Leaves of absence
also were approved for
^istant Professor George
Weimer for doctoral study and
Associate Professor Stuart
Marks for research in Africa.
The board authorized James
■ Morgan, chairman of the
Mdings and grounds com-
®ttee, to utilize consultant
'ce in developing a com-
land-use plan for
u, main campus and
’‘acre holdings at the
Wunnburg-Maxton Airbase.
e college currently is using
some 150 acres of the campus.
6 proposed land-use plan is
^ipied to guide the board in
'almng the maximum poten
tial from future developmnt of
its property.
Trustees also authorized the
executive committee to
organize and implement a
simUar comprehensive study
by “as blue-ribbon panel of
consultants and St. Andrews
personnel” of the goals and
objectives of the college for
the next ten to twenty years.
Representative Ruth, whose
Eighth District embraces
Laurinburg and Scotland
County, said that Confess is
vitally interested in the
“taking stock” now being
done by higher education. He
suggested that colleges should
have their aims carefully
thought out and priorities
assigned in seeking
Congressional appropriations.
On the future of federal aid to
higher education, Ruth, now a
member of the House Ap
propriations Committee,
predicted that student aid
would be the largest program
but that increasingly the
federal government’s role
would be to guarantee
privately-made loans rather
than making direct loans.
Ruth said he hoped for the
future creation of a trust fund
for education from ear
marked revenues to end the
ever-mounting pressures for
shares of general revwues.
Ultimately, he said, the life or
death of any institution is
determined by the service it
renders, underscoring the
need for planned objectives.
Representative Fountaui
briefly reviewed the growuig
role of the federal government
