Million Dollar Gift “St. Andrews has been through a major financial crisis in the last several years,” says President Parkinson, “but we are now operating on a balanced budget, and with the stimulus of this gift we hope to improve our financial situation sub stantially over the extended period. We are also pleased with the opportunity to take our educational program and long-range needs to the Presbyterians of North Carolina.” “Despite the ^ inroads of government, 'American DhilanthroDV continues to be one of the great forces in providing for higher education,” adds President Parkinson. “More than a year ago our management con sultants told us that what St. Andrews needed was the dynamism that a seven-figure f t would provide. Now we have reached that goal, and we expect to push onward to providmg the strongest possible liberal arts education.” This past summer the college announced the completion of its finest annual campaign for support, reporting receipts of $586,608.’ This is the largest amount raised by any church-related college in North Carolina during this past fiscal year for annual support, and represents a 33 per cent gain over 1976 for St. Andrews. An ambitious goal of $525,000 had been set, and this was exceeded by 12 per cent. The goal for the annual campaign for 1977-78 has also been set at $525,000.

Length: 1 hour, 42 minutes. “The Front Page” is one of those movies that has suffered with remakes over the years, each successively worse than its predecessor. A1940 version switched roles about and made it a battle of the sexes between Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell; the 1975 Walter Matthau - Jack Lemmon version is even worse. The version the CUB has secured is the original 1931 film of the play by Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht. Thought to be lost for years, this print was recently discovered and put back into circulation. It’s a sophisticated comedy about a newspaperman in Chicago in the 1920’s. The Chicago of John Dillinger and A1 Capone.

Yvonne Mason, a senior from Greenville, SC, who shares the “Cairn” editorship with Courtney, will be an editorial assistant. Library Gets Computer Display Unit Work will be simplified and performed more efficiently this year as librarians at St. Andrews receive assistance from a new computer display terminal. Purchase of the terminal was provided by an $8,000 grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, MI, received last summer. Through use of the computer terminal and its connection with the Ohio College Library Center (OCLC), St. Andrews librarians will have direct and immediate access to all bibliographical information needed for purchasing and cataloguing books. The funds from the Kellogg ^ant enabled the college to join Southeastern Library Network (SOLINET), one of many regions all over the country connected to OCLC in Ohio. According to Mrs. Margaret ennett, librarian in charge of cataloguing and serials, the terminal will initially serve the library in three areas: cataloguing, inter-library loap and ordering books. “Before receiving the ter minal the process of catalogu ing a book was a long and in volved one,” the Librarian explains. “This way we can tie into the data base at OCLC and use in formation other libraries have already compiled.” Other possible uses of the terminal include a serials program to check in magazines and booK cir- culaton. “The system is an expensive one,” Mrs. Bennett continues, “but I think it will be wor thwhile. We’ll have more time and we’ll have books ready quickly and more efficiently.” Mrs. Betty Holmes, head librarian, describes the ter minal as “a very useful tool which actually permits us to get new books on the shelf and in our card catalogue weeks earlier than has been possible in the past. We are looking for ward to using it because it per mits use to be of greater ser vice to students and faculty.” In addition to Mrs. Bennett, other St. Andrews Ubrarians are to participate in the special training session for operating the terminal on Sep tember 14 will be Frances Wright, Nancy Lee and June Chay. Science Program participants gather at St. Andrews for a week to discuss ways the lecture material can be applied in school situations. Special guest lecturers will review the history of the current energy situation, offer projects, and summarize governmental action to date with proposals for the future.
