Off To A Good Start
As the 1977-78 year begins it is important to note some
accomplishments of various organizations.
First, the College Union Board, under the direction of Ed
Wilson, has gotten off to a resounding start. With Sugar Creek,
Kentucky, and the CUB Movie Series, the College Union Board
has certainly proven its ability.
Editor Jui Plyler is working diligently to see that this year’s
Lamp and Shield is a reality. Best wishes for her success in
that endeavor.
In an effort to encourage envolvement in the total art
program, the Monday Night Series in the Arts kicks off this
Monday night at 6:30 p.m. in the Vardell Building with Craig
Scoggins, a photographer who will be speaking on “8 X10 view
camera and contact printing.”
All of these undertakings certainly demonstrate that student
involvement at SA is once again returning.
New Science
Program Begun
A program directed at
extending the college
classroom to science teachers
in the secondary school
system in North Carolina and
South Carolina will begin next
fall under the direction of Dr.
David Wetmore, chairman of
the mathematics and science
division at St. Andrews.
Bringing a concrete reality
and relevance to the topic of
energy, Wetmore and two
other professors will share
materials developed at St.
Andrews with high school
teachers.
According to Wetmore he is
specificially responding to
requests for instruction from
teachers in their regio.i while
furthering a working
relationship between the
college and secondary schools
and illustrating the aspects of
energy as applied in physical
and biological science.
The program is aimed at
increasing awareness of
future energy sources,
engaging participants in a
variety of teaching-learning
situations and providing
practical experience with a
number of energy-related
problems.
The program is unlike any
other in the state, Wetmore
says, and the closest in
stitution offering a com
parable program is East
Carolina University.
Entitled “Energy - Man’s
Encounter With Ther
modynamics”, the program
will feature Chatauqua-type
lectures at three sites -
Charlotte, Fayetteville and
Wilmington - with three full-
oay sessions of 15 participants
at each location.
The November opening
session will deal primarily
with the first and second law

Shopping
Center
Begun
Ground was formally
broken this summer for the
10-acre shopping center Holly
Square located adjacent to St.
Andrews in a brief ceremony
with representatives of the
college, Chamber of Com
merce officers and local
businessmen in attendance.
Developers of the center,
Maston-Faison-Weatherspoon
of Charlotte, have leased the
land from St. Andrews and
have begun construction on a
first phase occupancy of 10
acres. Twenty acres have
been set aside for a second
stage development.
TTie new center, named for
the 14 specimen holly trees
featured there, will be com
prised of three business firms
with K-mart as the anchor
department store. Other
stores will be a Harris Teeter
More Value Food Store and
Revco Drug Store. The an
ticipated opening date is for
sometime next winter.

of thermodynamics as par
ticipants are led through an
exploration of basic concepts
in lectures and discussion
sessions. The concept of
energy in relation to physical
science will be featured in the
second session in February
and the final session in April
will emphasize the energy as
applied to biological sciences.
A short intensive summer
session in June 1978 will
conclude the program

At Convocation
In what has become a ritual
of welcoming incoming fresh
men to the St. Andrews cam
pus, opening convocation was
held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in
Avinger Auditorium.
Thursday’s convocation
featured a processional by the
Grandfather Mountain
Highlanders and comments
by Sally Beaty, a 1977
graduate and current ad
missions counselor, and
Celeste Tillson, president of
the Student Government
Association. Dr. Arthur Mc
Donald, associate prfessor of
theatre will present the ad
dress “The Heartless Ghost
Alone’s Unhurt”.
The Rev. Grover D. Nelson,
pastor of Westminster United
Presbyterian Church, offered
the invocation and college
pastor Frank Covington gave
the benediction at the closing
of the ceremonv.
The annual ceremony
marks the end of orientation
for freshmen who first
arrived on the campus the
previous Saturday. After their
arrival they were
familiarized with the campus
through welcome programs,
registration, and meetings
with faculty and staff. Paren
ts also had a glimpse of life in
the St. Andrews community
when they participated in the
parents orientation session
this past weekend.
Dean Roberta. Claytor,
pressed his satisfaction
the orientation se
both students and
with
session for
.describing it as’”“beJut?''‘^'
planned and executed, it
beautifully
-tsd. It wqp
otiier
ts to get to know each
and from what I’ve seen we
have a reaUy good bunch"
students that are L{
confident and self-assured”
Kathleen Benzaquin, direc
tor of student activites
worked with assistant dean of
students Ronald Diment in
implementing this year’s
orientatin session. Ms. Ben
zaquin commented that the
events were very well
organized.
With the planned social ac
tivites such as the Ice cream '
social and Farrago events
the students have had enougti >
to do to get a good feeling for >
the college. It seemed to be
the perfect set-up with good
involvement on the part of the
administration,” she con-
tinued.
As guiding spirit for orien
tation, Diment was pleased
with the positive aspects of
the session. Exposure to the
St. Andrews Studies class is a
major part of integrating ■
freshmen into the St. Andrews
community, Diment said, and
the classes complimented the
planning and programming of ,
orientation.

The Budget Committee was
renewed for another year.
This committee serves as the
initial step for groups
requesting money from the
Senate, and makes recom
mendations for approval to
the full Senate. Chosen for
membership were Senators
Reback, Kunkle, and Newton.
The position of Secretary
was apparently left unfilled,
with President Pro Tem
Plyler recording the minutes
and Cabinet Representative
Reback transcribing them.
Dean Diment spoke briefly
to the Senate on his
relationship with the Student
Association, remarking that
he was looking forward to
working with the Senate, and
requested that each of the
senators take a leading role in
maintaining the condition of
the residence halls.
