A Great Day
For The College
The dedication of the Jack Burris Center here tomorrow
morning is the biggest event ever, from the point of view of
n.edia and publicity coverage, for St. Andrews. The keynote
speaker will be an internationally lajown rehabilitation
specialist-in fact, the father of rehabilitation medicine - Dr.
Howard Rusk; a bumper crop of Democratic politicans from
the Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina down will be here
(the Rq)ublicans will all be in Raleigh with President Fwd), as
will over 700 distinguished guests. With Terry Sanford Day
today and the dedication tomorrow, the campus will be
crawling with reporters and TV cameras.
Besides being a chance to sell SA and what it has to offer,
tomorrow’s festivities will draw attention to the college’ss suc
cess in bringing college life to handicapped students without
making a big deal out of it. They have been thoroughly in
tegrated into the St. Andrews community, and tomorrow the
success will be celebrated as one of its prime benefactors, Jack
Bums, is honored for his contributions to the effort.
To facilitate attendance by students, the Dean’s Office has
cancelled 9:30 and 10:30 classes. A good turnout would be a
good thing to see.

Grad Committee Plans Study
The Granducation Committee
of the Student Association
met for the first time Monday
and decided to conduct a ran
dan • survey of (pinion on
several issues relating to how
graduation will be conducted
this coming spring.
The survey will be crai-
ducted at meal times on
several days early next week
and will attempt to determine
how seniors feel about the
time at which graduation will
be held, what apparel is
chosen to be worn by the
graduating class, and who the
graduation speaker should be.
Currently the graudation
exercises are held at 10 a.m.
oi the designated day in the
spring and usually run until
noon. The survey will seek to
determine the level of sen
timent in favor of having the
ceremonies in the evening.
The reasoning behind the
evening ceremonies runs
along the lines that it would be
much cooler than the daytime
activities are and would not
require parents to take a day
off from their wa-k in order to
be present at 10 a.m.
The question of apparel is
one that seems to surface
every year. Sentiment will be
measured on three options;
traditional robes (and if so, I
what color) formal wear of |
some sort or inform; J dress.
The question of the speaks I
will be employed to generates [
preliminary list of possible
speakers for the committee to
investigate on the basis of cost |
and availability.
In conducting the survey, I
the committee will be
stressing the fact that the
results of the study will not be
considered definitive or bin’
ding by the faculty committee
which arranges the |
graduation ceremonies.
Library To Charge Other Hand:
For Inter library Loans
The interlibrary loan system,
in which the DeTamble
Library participates, is
caught in the rising price
squeeze for the services it ren
ders, says Circulation
Librarian June Chay. The
library will therefore begin
immediately imposing a
nominal fee to cover the costs
of borrowing iDOoks from other
college and university
libraries.
The fee to be charged will be
fifty cents per book borrowed,
Mrs. Chay told THE LANCE.
“We hate to have to do this”
she said, “but the volume of
interlibrary loan work we do
has increased tremendously
this year and the cost (rf
postage and supplies has
begun to exceed the amount of
money we have budgeted for
this purpose.”
Xereox copies of documents
will be unchanged in terms of
price to the student, Mrs.
Chay continued, having been
calculated all along to include
all of the costs involved in
providing that service.

The annual Off-Campus
Party was last Saturday nidit
at the “stately hrane” of Mike
Jones, Walter Kuentzel, and
Junmy Thwaite on Johns
Road. A good time was had by
all; several hundred pounds
of beef were barbecued and
served up with baked beans,
potato salad and all kinds of
other edibles. At least two
hundred people were there,
milling around «i the wrap
around front porch and under
the huge tres that dot the
yard.
The Indian summer
weather we’ve had for the last
month and a half looks to be
plannmg to stay for several
more days at least.-The hot,
dry weather has brought out a
lot more color in the leaves
and has kept the sun wor
shippers out in the afternoons
to keep up the tans as long as
possible.
Left handers at SA will
want to be sure to mark next
Wednesday on their calen
dars. It’s the birthday (rf
James Abram Garfield (1831-
1881), the first left-handed
president of the United States.
Altogether the country has
had three southpaws in the
Executive Mansion: Garfield,
Harry S. Trunian, and the
current occupant, Gerald
Ford. Vice President Nelson
Rockefeller was bom left-
handed but his father, John D.
Jr., in a rather cruel move,
took to tieing young Nelson’s
left hand to his chair at the
dinner table with a string so
that when he tried to use it, it
would be stopped short by the
string. Rockefller is now right
handed.
Speaking of Rockefeller, 3
group (rf stuents and one d
the politics professors wert
wondering at lunch the oW
day just what the VP wold do
now that he’s removed him
self from consideration as
Ford’s 1976 running ma'J'
Some opened that Roc J
would finish out his term m
perhaps become Secreta?
State in a second Fcrd
Others thought
Rockefeller would run agai^
Ford. The most iron
scenario, though, .
Rockefeller, who
vainly ^eking the presi
since the late 1950 s a
now just one step aw^
has no apparent chan«
