Appalchian Film
To Preceed Earth Festival
September 27 and 28 have
beensetasthedatesforafita
and videotape workshop, fte
first of three workshops this
fall at St. Andrews
Presbyterian College. The Ap-
palshop of Whitesburg, Ky.,
“an independent, nm-profit
media education and produc-
tio center serving the people of
central Appalchia, wi
present the September
workshop. Following the film
workshop will be a Mother
Earth Festival on October l/-
19 and on November 7-9, a
workshop by people
associated with “Southern
Voices,” new magazine spon
sored by the Southern
Regional Council.
The workshops will focus on
the work of three new
organizations in the South — in
particular, on how they
publicize their work. The
groups are included in the
study of one section of the
freshman year of St. Andrews
Studies, a new three-year core
program being introduced
this year at. St. Andrews. The
workshops are part of a series
of events planned as “com
mon experioices” for other
sections of the freshman cour
se and for the entire college.
The three events also are open
to the public.
Appalshop was launched in
a Whitesburg storefront in
1969 as a community film
workshop to create an Ap
palachian consciouseness and
sense of community, with the
lone-range goal of tapping the
power of the mass media for
social change.
Originally funded with GEO
and American Film Institute
support as the Appalchian
Film Workshop, the
organization’s name was shor
tened to Appalshop, Inc. in
1971 as the original grants en
ded. Recruiting and training
area residents, App^shop has
rapidly made a name for its
technical ability and par
ticularly for its authentic
presentations of Appalachian
life. Its dozen or so documen
taries and several longer films
have won showings and awar
ds at Tennessee’s Sinking
Creek Festival, New
England’s Flaherty Film
Seminar, the Museum of
Modem Art, Yale and UCLA.
A St. Andrews student, Fran
ces Morton of Hazard, Ky.,
has studied with the group.
In part a celebration of the
back-to-the-land philosophy of
the “Mother Earth News,” the
Mother Ear Fair will feature
apf)earances by “Mother Ear
th News” staffers and a
demonstration of the Shut-
tlebug, three alternative
energy vehicles developed by
Mother Earth researcher^)
Also on display will be a ^
greenhouse designed and built j
by St. Andrews students and a i
playground built completeryl
of recycled material. ^
The “Mother Earth New^^
was launched in 1969 in Oluo!
and has grown from its!
original 10,000 circulation to
more than 200,000. Now-
headquartered in Henderson,!
N. C., the publication has adg
ded a mail order business an*
research staff. Research^
director is a St. Andrevg
alumnus, John Boll.
“Southern Voices,” focus of
the November workshop, wa|
launched this spring as a
magazine “for and about an|
by Southerners.” It represen®
a merger of “New South” and
“South Today”, earlier
publications of the S. R. C.
Tentatively scheduled for ap^
pearances are Editor Pat Wat-,

tributing editr; and Charles
Morgan, Jr., member of tMl
advisory board and himselj

Society Called On To Change Planier Conception
the sun.”
Professor Bushoven
charged that keepers use their
concept of a fixed “human
nature” to beat down any
change in societal structure.
Keepers contend that because
human nature-greedy,
violent, possessive, self-
centered-is inevitable,
societal structure can’t im
prove the people’s way of life.
Bushoven contended that
there is no knowable “human
nature,” and asked “What are
persons apart from any given
society?”
Keepers are past oriented
rather than future oriented.
They tend to want to let
nature take its course. Keep
ers are fatalistic about the
future, and see little reason
for man to play a role in anti
cipating it and attempting to
shape it.
‘Earth Is Round’
Conception Required of
Society
Chairman Bushoven also
said that keepers hold the
premise that “the earth is
flat.” That is, if you go too far
beyond your own domain
“you run into monsters and
then over the edge into the
void. Beyond our shores are
people with no history, no cul
ture, no heritage.”
Bushoven has done much
research in Africa and Asia
and thinks it is extremely im
portant to study other
cultures, and to look at one
self as a citizen of the whole
world rather than a citizen of
one’s own little niche in the
world.
Despite his apparent
distaste for the keepers’ point
of view, Bushoven said that
they are essential to a society.
He outlined three ways in
which keepers contribute con
structively to the society. Fir
st, “they are the preservers
and defenders of language.”
Keepers fight for a language
“capable of conveying
meaning from one person to
another.” Bushoven urged the
freshmen to seek out the
keepers of the language on
this campus.
Second, keeprs served to
maintain standards. Charging
that our society lacks taste
and intregrity. Dr. Bushoven
argued that there virtues are
important to a society, and
that keepers, by seeking to
preserve or regain societal
standards, are actually “anti
system” in some respects.
Third, some keeprs are im-
potarit because of strong com
mitment to religion. While not
praising those keeprs who use
religion to justify the status
quo. Dr. Bushoven remarked,
“The belief in a transcendent
aspect to existence, something
beyond what is immediately
sensed, can be used either as a
dimension of what is to confine
change or as separate surer
ground on which to stand and
judgethepresent...
“I am deeply disturged by
the religion-keeper who has a
dimension beyond the im
mediate which give him or her
a judgmental stance on the
world they are a part of. ”
Students Welcomed
By New Administration
Bushoven’s address wa»
preceded by a formal
welcome by Diane Hogg direc
tor of the Orientation Com
mittee, and answering
statements by Donald J. Hart,
President of the College, and
Phil Bradley, President of the
Student Association.
Bradley’s short address was
especially significant in that
he summed up the entire St.
Andrews experience as a
struggle for self-development
and self-realization. He poin
ted out that academic at
titudes at SA are greatly dif
ferent from those in public
schools, with emphasis here
on individuality rather than
socialization.
Bradley explained why the
St. Andrews career is a time of
struggle by contrasting the
openess and freedom of the St.
Andrews system with the
closed and somewhat
repressive systems from
which most students came.
This contrast in lifestyle
causes one to reexamine one’s
values and re-evaluate one’s
experiences.
Thus the St. Andrews
struggle-often confusing and
sometimes rewarding-is a
learning experience in itself.
The evening’s first speaker
was Prof. Ronald Crossley,
who explained that con
vocation is a ritual. A ritual
“needs symbols in order to
function.” Crossley singled
out two symbols, the journey
and the robe.
The journey, he explained,
was symbolic of man’s itch to
accelrate, to embark on an in-
divudal quest for learning.
The robe was important
because it differentiated con
vocation from the ordinary
world and the normal oc
casion. With this ceremony,
said Crossley, “We want to
show you that we care.’

Maude’ will be presented thi||

continue to live in college
residence halls, and use will
be made of data accumulated
over a six year period in con
junction with an earlier study
on the use of aides sponsored
by the Department of Health,
Education ad Welfare.
The psychological aspect of
the project will further be
develop^ and refined by Dr.
Alvin Smith.
To facilitate a project of this
type it is essetial to secure
rapport with, and the
cooperation of the mobile
home industry. St. Andrews
applied for and was granted
membership in the North
Carolina Manufactured
Housing Institute, Raleigh,
North Carolina. Contact was
also made with Mr. Roland
Jones of the Mobile Homes
Manufacturers Associatirai,
Washington, D. C. Mr. Jones
agreed to serve as liaison bet
ween the St. AndrewsH. U. D.
Project and the M. H. M. A.
Using data supplied by these
two organizations, every sup
plier of mobile home parts,
component units, supplies,
etc. was contacted for in
formation regarding their
respective products. All
mobile home manufacturen
in North Carolina were ai^
vised of the project and thei
cooperation solicited.
