THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14,1974
Dear Editor,
As a graduate and former
vice-president of the college
Union Board I feel that it is
my responsibility to comment
on a concert I saw at St. An
drew’s this past weekend that
was billed as a “Rock and
Roll Circus.” It was no more
a circus than it was Rock and
Roll. Their music sounded
like they were playing in a
trash can and their
“psychedelic” antics with
strobe lights was a return of
1968. I do not stand alone in
this judgment; this is one of
the only bands at St. An
drew’s that was not called
back for an encore.
The College Union Board is
a student organization which
should provide entertainment
that appeals to a majority of
the student body. It is more
than likely that a few people
did enjoy this concert, but to
assume that this would appeal
to even a sizable minority of
students is a blatent insult to
our intelligence.
To throw away $750.00 like
we did Saturday night is
ridiculous. It does not seem
that the College Union Board
is functioning properly this
year. Three of the four elec
ted officers have already
resigned this year. Why?
What is going on that you, the
students do not know? Will
the rest of the social events
this year be of the same
questionable quality? Will you
have one of the bands you
voted for earlier this year?
Who is the person or persons
coming up with the ideas that
are wasting your time and
money?
I realize that since I’ve
graduated from St. Andrew’s
1 have very little to say in this
matter, but it is very hard for
me to just stand by and watch
the College Union Board fall
apart.

As President of the College
Union Board, I would like to
inform the St. Andrews world
as to what the "real”
situation is concerning the
Winter Term Board and the
booking of Terry Dee’s
Rock’n Roll Circus which per
formed here last week-end.
At the closing of the Fall
Semester, it came to the
Board’s attention that none of
the officers, and not many
regular members would be
here for the month of
•January. However, those who
were going to be here volun
teered to take the respon
sibilities given to them during
that time. This group was to
be a completely autonomous
and authoriatative group,
with Summer Brock ap
pointed by me as acting
President.
The Board met the first
week in January, consisting
of myself and six other mem
bers, and it was decided that
the college Union Board sim
ply did not have as much
money as we had allotted for
in the Fall Term. At this time
it was decided that rather
than spend $2,500.00 on a band
which would still not please
everyone, we would spread
ourselves out and have as
much going on this spring as
possible. The Student Per
sonnel Office, the Cabinet,
and the Student Life Com
mittee had all been in touch
either with me or Dan Salzler
(CUB Advisor) to express
discontent of the social events
of the Fall Semester, and
were practically demanding
to know the directions we
would be taking Winter and
Spring Terms. Because of the
influences these groups hold,
it seemed the wisest move
would be to try and please as
many students and groups-
which we felt could be ac
complished by trying as many
different types of en
tertainment that we could af
ford. At this meeting we
discussed the Ruby Red’s
Band and also Bacchanalia.
Now, concerning the matter
of Terry Dee’s Rock’n’Roll
Circus. This event was
brought up in the Fall Term
at the cost of $1,500.00, and
was turned down. At this
same time we were discuss
ing the possibilities of book
ing a large, fairly well-known

group. It was, in my opinion,
that the majority of the Board
was excited by the Terry Dee
event, but simply decided that
they would rather try for
something better known at
that price. Over January,
Terry Dee’s agent called Dan
Salzler, informed him that
Terry Dee had been cancelled
from somewhere near this
area, and that being all the
way from Canada, they
needed to be booked.
Therefore, he offered them at
$750.00-half price-for the
date of Feb. 9. The Board
which was here at that time
had a call meeting, discussed
the pros and cons of this event
at length, and finally decided
it was an opportunity they
shouldn’t pass up. This, in no
way, was a decision made
alone by Dan Salzler. He was
not waiting for some people
on the Board to go out of
town, rather this opportunity
arose and there was no choice
except to take advantage of
the discount, or lose the whole
deal by waiting for the entire
Board to return to St. An
drews.
The group appeared, and so
did approximately 350 studen
ts and others. We made
$171.00, which brought the
cost of the band down to
$579.00. Many people thought
ihe evening had great talent
and was lots of fun, many
voiced no opinions, and many
thought it was horrible. One
event can’t please everyone,
so hopefully those who were
not pleased will continue to
try each event given, or even
better, they will come to our
meetings and express their
opinions and desired, and ac
tually help us in any way they
can.
We meet regularly on Wed
nesdays at 6:30 in the Main
^ Lounge and all interested per
sons are more than cordially
invited to attend.
Than you,
Susan Hamill
President of College Union

holds ‘ “that rational action in a
rational world, in every social
anti industrial operation,
demands the most efficient
over-all performance yielding
the greatest possible ef
ficiency in terms of the
available technology.” The
Dymaxion House was a house
of the future: cheap-selling
at 25 cents per pound; light-
weighing only three tons;
fabricated in factories and
deliverable within two hours;
easily installed and serviced.
He saw nothing in the high
cost of housing, due primarily
to differentiation in design.
Factory produced homes,
much like cars, would cut the
cost of housing drastically.
The Dymaxion House was
followed by the Dymaxion Car
and the geodesic dome, the
latter being his best-known
work. More recently have
been such ideas as his
“floating city” which he sees
as going far in relieving the
situation of the overpopulation
of the earth. Very much an
idealist. Fuller sees that man
can design a world where no
one loses, where recources
can be multiplied through use,
caring and sharing, and where
everyone can be successful.
Even at the age of 78, Buck
minster Fuller moves at an
exhausting pace. Travelling
over 200,000 miles per year, he
lectures for hours at a time
bombarding his audience with
a variety of subjects. But in
keeping with his ideas about
efficiency and waste, he
prefers not to discuss his work
with individuals and for good
reason. His ideas are so
thoroughly thought out that in
order to discuss them it often
takes hours. This explains his

cancelling of the news con
ference which had been plan
ned for the afternoon of his
visit. In Fuller’s mind, any
questions can be answered
either in attending his lecture
or in reading his books. In
dividual discussion for its own
sake is a waste of his spare
time, which he preferred to
use resting.
Never having graduated
from any college, more than
thirty colleges have since
awarded Fuller honorary
degrees and four honorary
doctorates. He has been a
welcomed speaker at univer
sities all over the world.

Lion’s Club, during a banquet
here at St. Andrews Tuesday
night, presented Dr. Urie with
a check for $1295 to be used
for the purchase of an Elec

which has been on trial in the
Library. This machine will
now, permanently be on the
second floor of the library to
aid those with visual han
dicaps. It consists of a
television camera and
monitor designed to allow
handicapped students to read
the pages of books greatly
enlarged on a TV screen. This
should aid those students with
extremely poor eyesight to
read faster and easier.
