Loftus Advisor THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1975 Letters . • • Back The Team The wheelchair basketball team needs players. Owing to various considerations, the squad has dropped from a late August fifteen to five. Twenty games remain in the season; all are played as double headers and to expect five people to play both without relief is too much. They need you people who were with them back, and badly, to make good their efforts in their season. Opponent Charlotte, for example, is ranked fourth in the nation. From the rest of the SA community, attendance and the pur chase of tickets are needed. Wheelchair basketball is a unique sport, and one in which St. Andrews can make a name for it self. It should not be allowed to fold up. V 9 J Walkabout At The Movies “WALKABOUT” Directed by Nicholas Roeg. With Jenny Agutter, Lucien John, and David Grumpihl. Two abandoned childred escape from the Australian desert with the aid of an aborigine boy on a walkabout (a six month survival test. ) In the process they learn about nature - both within and around them. Returning to civilization, however, they are tom between their new and old life styles. Showing Sunday at 7 p.m. in Avinger Auditorium. To The St. Andrews Com munity: I would like to advise the Student Association of my resignation as Secretary. I have made this decision because I do not feel I have sufficient time to properly perform the duties of the of fice. This was not an easy decision to make because I strongly believe that an ac tive Student Association is ex tremely important to St. An drews. However, I feel that out at titudes as students have gradually changed and par ticipation is no longer frowned upon. I am planning to continue to work with and support the efforts of the elec ted officers. I would also like to encourage a wider range of participation from the entire Student body. There are approximately fifty positions open to studen ts on both Student-Faculty committees and Student AssociatiMi committees, so please, if you are interested in working on a committee, nominate yourself for it. Ad ditionally in the next couple weeks, campus-wide elections will be held to fill the vacant offices of Secretary of the Student Association and Vice- President of the College Christian Council. At this time the proposed amend ment to the constitution will also be voted on. Talk to people. Find out what it’s about, and, of course, care enough to vote. Workii^ with the Student Association has meant a lot to me and it’s been fun. I hope other people will be interested enough to experience this too. Sincerely, Lisa Tillson.

THE LANCE' TV Series To Begin Jacob Bronowski’s ex traordinary 13 part television series, “The Ascent of Man” will be rebroadcast this tali on PBS television. The BBC series, which took three years to produce, was first shown in 1972 and gar nered with The BBC series, which took three years to produce, was first shown in 1972 and gar nered scores of awards for Bronowski, a noted scientist and philosopher who died in 1974. Of the series and its pur pose, Bronowski once said, “Among the multitude of animals which scamper, fly, burrow and swim around us, man is the only one who is not locked into his environment. His imagination, his reason, his emotional subtlety and toughness, make it possible for him not to accept the en vironment but to change it. And that series of inventions, by which man from age to age has remade his environment, is a different kind of evolution-not biological but cultural evolution. I call that brilliant sequence of cultural peaks “The Ascent of Man.” The series will begin on September 23 at p.m. On The Other Hand: Lin Thompson The President St. Andrews Sir: The Perkinson ad ministration has acquired a reputaton for letting nothing get in its way as it runs its per ception of the college’s poten tial into reality. In Oic main I have been loud of voice in my support of vigorous action. Now, however, I must put my foot down there can be no tem porizing or half-measures. I will not put with the ad ministrations name changing. I refer to “The Saltire”. This is the book of rules for SA students and a “Who to call” directory of all campus organizations. (The rules cover 23 pages near the back and should be subtitled “How To Beat The System” because Fm told you can find some in teresting loopholes if you read all the fine print closely. I tried, but fell asleep after thrre pages). It is in “The Saltire” that the name diange policy has reared its ugly head: WHAT IS PM? PM (Practical Meditation) is a simple, fast, easy way to a longer life and equal opportunity employers. PM can be practiced in the comfort of your own bedroom with nomessy creams or foams Learning PM requires no electronic monitors or wierd Kama Sutra positions. PM IS not a cure-all or sugar placebo for what ails ya but practiced regularly PM gurantees results. PM is not a religion or a sneaky tactic on the part of the Communists to take over the country^ Millions practice PM regularly and are very surprised at whm It did for them. Now PM can do it to you too. Unlike that other m!i ® ® si«V-five dollar fee to be mastered^ You can perfect your PM practice in just TWO HOURS mh our book, PM* -Overcoming and Discoveri^ Inner PeZ I Buttlr° Y .50 to Mawhoreese's Peanut Butter Yoga c/o Clay Hamilton, Box 844, St. Andrews College No Example: Page 17 -1 find my name has been changed to j Jim Thompson.
