We hope that you as readers are as pleased with the transfonnation 3S W0 3F0. The function of a newspaper was best expressed by Wilbur F. Story, a crusty old Michigan publisher in the last century, when he said it was the duty of a paper “to print the news and raise he U.” That is what THE LANCE used to do. It served several vital functions: it was the only communications link between all member-of the St. Andrews community; it served as a calendar for the future and a recorder of the past. It encouraged debate with a lively editorial section and always contained a thought- provoking letter or two. In recent times those functions were cast away. It ceased to be an effective link between the various elements of the campi^ community because there was little in it worth rea^ng. This term we have experienced two debilitating power failures, an extensive hepatitis alert, and the hacking away of a major portion of the music program, and not a word about any of this appeared in the pages of this journal. The calendar enabling the reader to see the week’s events at a glance was first relegated to the back page and then done away with. Editorial comment was replaced by the canned homilies of a fading counterculture guru, and the hard-won independence of THE LANCE was traded away the week before break when it was given over to the trivialities and self-indulgence of an SAS class. We aim to try to raise THE LANCE back to the standard it used to live up to. We hope that the new commitment here will be met by a new commitment to support our efforts by the campus community: more money this fall to offset declining ad revenues; course credit granted by the college as an incentive for writers and photographers to spend what often amounts to the time an extra course or two would take up in researching and writing the material that weekly appears in these pages. We hope, too, to be called to account whai we err in fact or judgement. Your responses i are a week to week form of quality control when you choose to exercise your opinions; without them we cannot tell whether or not -ye are reaching our goal of “printing the news and raising hell ” Bachanalia Festivities LETTERS Upcoining Elections WSAPCo ween the week’s winning teams. (This is a little dif ferent from last year when the final games were held Satur day morning.) People’s hard- work for the week will not go unrewarded - there will be prizes! Top prize is a keg of beer, and second prize will be apony-keg. Friday evening will see the return of a St. Andrews favorite - Brice Street - playing as usual in the steps of the college union. Of course, the festivities would not be complete without “The Laun ching.” “The Seventh of May” will be providing the music for this April 23rd dance, which has been explained in the past as the celebration for St. An drews seniors as they are about to be “launched” into the “real worM” (whether they want to be “launched” or not is never questioned.) All in all, Bacchanalia and The Launching usually provide lots of enjoyment, so join a team, or come out and support one. Dear Editor, With Student Gtovemment elections to be held in the next week, I would like to take this opportunity to say a few wor ds about this year’s Govern ment and about the for thcoming elections. First, I simply want to thank the more than 70 students who have par ticipated in Student Govern ment this year either in elec ted or in appointed positions. Each of them has worked hard and provided valuable input into decision-making at St. Andrews; jobs capably and well done. Second, I want to encourage all students to take time t o vote in the Student Govern ment elections for next year. Given the tremendous num ber of changes that have taken place this year as well as those that are sure to take place next year, it is essential that the individuals elected to all Student Government positions not only be strong advocates for student con cerns but also be open to working closely and willingly with faculty and ad ministrators. Without this dual ’ommitme nt to ad vocacy and openness, the ef fectiveness of Student Gover nment can be severely un dercut. Once again, then, thanks to all the students who gave their time and energy to making this a productive year for Student Government. Sincerely, Paul Baldasare President, Student Association vers Elections Live was presented to the Pi. Hons Board at a Board chairman stuan Swam expressed pleasu^ the arrangement, whin allows for the boa? tabulate election results in secure room at the statioi and convey periodic totals i, station staffers as they niii their shows Thursday nieht “This should add i color and excitement to fte elections process, SwainsaH and should help relieve the burden of suspense and anxiety that builds up on can- didates, their staff, and the voters at large as they have to wait, often late into the nigiit for the results to be posted ij the College Union.” (Photo courtesy Rooney Coffman) BECOME A COLLEGE CAMPUS DEALER Sell Brand Name Stereo Components at lowest prices.
