Poets on Campus
Saturday, January 17, the
Writers Reading Series hosted
a alumni reading in the
Student Union Lounge. Phil
Rech, editor of the Cairn for
two consecutive years read
from a selecti(m of his recent
works. Rech’s poetry is
characterized by its brevity
and blantentness. Rech is now
employed Scotland County
as a counselor for the aging.
Following Rech was John
“Jomo” Williamson, also
editor of the Cairn with Rech
for two years. In his own wor
ds, Williamson’s poetry is
“completely the opposite of
Phil’s.” His selection of
lengthy metaphor filled works
were realistic in nature, as
were Rech’s, but were also
more enigmatic. Williamson
is now living in Richmond,
Virginia.
Friday, January 23, Chuck
Sullivan of Winston-Salem
held a reading in King’s Moun
tain main lounge. Sullivan has
been published in such
magazines as “Southern
Poetry Review”, “Southern
Voices” and “Esquire”. Red
Clay Books of Charlotte recen
tly published his first major
work, “Vanishing Species,”
whose introduction was writ
ten by Daniel Berrigan. The
book’s content was new to the
St. Andrews’ community and
Common
Experience
Ms. Shirley Hanks, director
of the internship, or ap
prenticeship, program at
Duke University, will speak at
a special Common Experience
W^nesday, February 4 in the
College Union Lounge at 11:30
am. She will relate some in
formation on internships, or
apprenticeships, women and
careers, and aspects of begin
ning and changing careers.
Also present will be some St.
Andrews students, who have
completed internships, to
relate their personal ex
periences. Characterized by
its informal nature, the Com
mon Experience should be of
special interest to everyone,
since everyone will have con
tact with the job market at one
time or another.
Development Plans
more serious in nature than
were works’ read by Sullivan
during his last visit to St. An
drews in the Spring of 1975.
Copies of “Vanishing l^ecies” ^
are available in the book
store. (Red Qay Books, run by
Charlene Whisnant, uses its

Recently, there have been
several decisions made about
the college land development
plan. First, there is a Charlot
te developer working on a
shopping center plan. The en
closed mall concept,
previously considered, has
been abandoned at present,
and an open mall concept is
being investigated. The
current concept would utilize
approximately twenty acres
of campus land at the comer
of South Main Street and High
way 74. Also, the current con
cept calls for the mall to front
on South Main.
Second, the firm of Glad
stone Associates of
Washington, D.C. has been
engaged by the college to
study the housing need of
Laurinburg and Scotland
County over the next five to
ten years, and how these
needs can best be realized in
relationship to St. Andrews
property. Their report should
be completed by the first part
of February.
The third new decision in
volves the hiring of an ar
chitectural firm to act as
master planner for the entire
concept. Negotiations are un
der way with a Charlotte firm
to serve as the master plan
ner.
Fourth, the City of Laurin
burg wishes to obtain ap
proximately eight acres at the
back of the campus property
to build a low profile water
treatment plant and five deep
wells for water.
The St. Andrews Develcp-
ment Office reports that each
of these “components” will be
assembled in order to study
them as an intergrated plan
and to evaluate the economic,
environmental and aesthetic
considerations. While St. An
drews is not specifically in
terested in entering the real
estate business, it is hoped
that these possible develop
ments will increase revenues
for the college in the future.
Energy Saving
Project
The REC (Residence
Energy Contest), highly
praised by several faculty
members when it was an
nounced last spring, has now
been put in the inactive file. A
new energy saving plan,
designed and recommended
by one of St. Andrews’ em
ployees, WUbert Locklear, a
tqj-notch electrical engineer.
Is being gradually installed
according to Chuck Westbui^,
Director of the Physical Plant.
Westburg explained that
heating around the campus is
provided by hot water and this
hot water, pumped from
boilers at the Physical Plant,
makes a big loop around the
campus and returns to the
boiler to be reheated. Motors
located in each building
receive the hot water coming
into the building, circulate it
through the building and pass
it out again into the loop. The
energy plan, while not new as
far as use around the country
but new to St. Andrews, calls
for timers to be placed on the
motors in each buUding. The
timers will shut the motors on
and off at certain periods
during the day, allowing in ef
fect for the building to be
“bypassed” for a short period
of time.
While these periodic
bypasses will not in
convenience those people
located in the building, it wUl
allow a savings as far as the
amount of hot water
necessary for heating.
Fuel and electric charges
are one of the highest biUs of
the college and with rising fuel
and electric rates something
had to be done to try and lower
this enormous bill according
to Mr. Westburg. Plans of
similar design are being used
in other colleges around the
nation very effectively. This
same plan will be used for air
conditioning in the spring and
summer.
