Letters . . 2 Improvements At St, Andrews Dear Pres. PerMnson and S. A. community at large, The attitude of the new ad ministration seems to be «ie of ‘don’t just criticize the way things are - make con- sb-uctive suggestions to the appropriate people on how to improve them.’ This is great, and I would like to initiate this policy on a large scale by “throwing out” two suggestions o f my own which I feel represent a basic need of everyone on campus. No. 1. -1 think we should in stall a large plexiglass dome over the causewalk. With a hard winter approaching, this would shield students from the icy winds of Lake Moore and keep out the rain, so ac tually it serves a dual pur pose. In addition, since it would be made of plexiglass, the view of the lake, etc., would be unhindered. I go (Hie small step further and suggest it be easily dissem- Editorial Looking Back At The Dedication Cold weather was just about the only thing wrong with the ceremonies surrounding the dedication of the Jack Burris Center on campus last week. An overflow crowd estimated at nearly two thousand filled the main gym to hear a procession of speakers extoll St. Andrews and High Point business executive Jack Burris. Student attendance at the affair was quite good, allaying the fears of many that none would be interested enough to attend, and in spite of a rather negative approach to the affair taken by members of the Cabinet in a dialogue put out a few days before the dedication. To try to doff the hat to every person or organization that was involved in the three-day marathon of events here last week would be well-nigh impossible because of the sheer number of people who were involved in various aspects of the preparation and smooth progress of the events. Nevertheless, a few stand out as being especially deserving of praise. Unquestionably the biggest thanks should go to the residents of Hi^ands Hall and the HUD trailer project, who let hordes of strangers come tramping through their residential quarters to see just what makes the college a leader in these fields of endeavor. Another group which distinguished itself decisively was the staff ofthe Cardinal Fod Service. Dewey Humphries, Grey Fox and their folks pulled off some minor miracles on Thursday and Friday. They started with dinner for the stiident body from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and in little more than an hour, were deaned up and ready for the Terry Sanford Appreciation Banquet within a little over an hour. As sooti as that was over they got busy making arrangements for Friday which involved serving lunch not only to the students of St. Andrews but to the hun dreds of visitors on campus. The Development Office, headed by Bruce Frye, deserves a larp round of applause for setting iqj and over seeing tiie logistical problems of the Burris dedicatiwi, the meeting of the N. C. Rehabilitation Association, the St. Andrews Associates, the Board of Trustees and the banquet given in Southern Pines Saturday night. Chuck Westburg and the folks at Maintenance did an outstanding job getting the campus into shape for the events of the days. Landscaping around tiie Burris Center appeared almost overnight; the golf course, (me of the first things one sees upon arriving at the college, suddenly turned green, and directional signs ap^ared all over campus to get tiie various groups around to tiieir respective meeting places. Tom Sweeney and his crew at the News Bureau worked almost around the clock to see to it that the publicity value of the coUege and tiie events related to it was utilized to its maximum and got a substantial amount of radio, television and newspaper coverage focused on St. Andrews, even with tiie handicap of the president’s visit to Raleigh on Friday. While all of the effort that went into Oie conduct of these events may not produce any immediate tangible results - or for that matter, any results at aU - it is good to know that ttie vanous disparate elements of tiie college organization can get together on something big and pull it off as weU as tiiey did last week. This Week At The Movies “The Producers” directed by Mel Brooks with Zero Mcstel, Gene Wilder, Dick Shawn. This was Mel Brooks’ first film and deals with a pur posefully tasteless Broadway show (a musical comedy about the Third Reich) that becomes an instant success. Seme critics have caUed this a better comedy than later Brooks film, “Blazing Sfd- dles” and “Young Franken stein”. McDonald Named Editor At the recent meeting of the North Carolina Theatre Con ference in Winston-Salem, N(H-th Carolina, Professor Ar thur McDonald, chairman of the Theatre Program at St Andrews was selected editor for “North Carolina Theatre,” the official publication of the NCTC. This quarterly publication seeks to unite the various statewide theatre organiati(m in a single effort to encourage the uses of drama in various areas throughout the state.
