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.

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.

TV Series
To Begin
Jacob Bronowski’s ex

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
