Problems My Fault

FALL is well on its passage across the calendar, as David
Swanson’s photo near DeTamble Library indicates. If we could
just keep the bright colors and mild weather until spring....

Appearing before the Student
Life Committee Tuesday
night, former yearbook editor
Sally Beaty ascribed the non
publication of the 1977 Lamp &
Shield to a “classic case of
taking on more than I could
handle. It was probably
stupid for me to accept the
job, but no one else would
have it, and it’s my fault.”
Beaty, now an Admissions
Counselor at St. Andrews,
also detailed the specific
reasons for her failure to
complete the 1977 book.
Originally, she explained,
there had been trouble getting
a contract for under $8,000,
and it was not until August
that one was signed with
Hunter Publishing for nearly
$6,500. “I had hoped to make
up any difference by selling
ads,” said Beaty, “but since
Scotland County High School
had a three month head start
for their annual, it was a
wasted effort.”
Student photographs were
not taken until mid-December
due to a contract dispute with
the previous year’s
photographer. Eventually,
that company was dropped,
and McColl Photography was
hired to do the job, after
several other bids had been
taken.
At this point, even though
the first deadline had been
met, relations with Hunter
began to break down. The St.
Andrews representative from
Hunter, Joe Wilson, had
formerly worked for Herff-
Jones, and was put under
injunction by that company,
which prohibited Beaty
contacting him directly until
April. “During this period,
every time I talked to Hunter
there was a different person
on the account, and no in
formation was available,”
explained Beaty.

Lighthouse Seeking
Volunteers
Lighthouse, which is a
community counseling and
referral center here in
Laurinburg, is seeking new
volunteers.
In the past, St. Andrews
students have composed the
major portion of the volunteer
staff, finding the experience
beneficial in many ways to
themselves and others.
Students majoring in
psychology, sociology, or
some other person-oriented
field, or those who may be
considering working in some
human service field, find
Lightouse a practical ex
posure to this area.
Lighthouse volunteers go
through 24 hours of training,
covering the various subjects
which are dealth with, in

Time
Change
Announced
In response to considerable
public demand, CUB Film
Chairman Lin Thompson has
announced that the weekend’s
movie, “Theater of Blood,”
has been rescheduled for mid
night Saturday night rather
than Sunday. The movie,
which features Vincent Price
as a demented Shakespearean
actor determined to have
revenge on eight critics who
denied him London’s Actor of
The Year award.
Music suitable for the oc
casion will be featured on the
Avinger Auditorium sound
system, and gnomes and
mghts will take up admission '
quarters.
Refunds
Planned
The executive board of the
St. Andrews Public Interest
Research Group (PIRG) has
announced refunds will be
offered on its fees Monday,
October 31 and Tuesday,
November 1.
Members of the board will
be present outside the
cafeteria during lunch and
dinner on the two days with
refund forms.

operating on the campuses of
Duke, Elon, Davidson, Wake

Activities
Announced
With activities planned in a
wide range of fields, St.
Andrews PIRG is “off and
running” for 1977-78, says
Chairman Lin Thompson.
In an interview with THE
LANCE, Thompson said that
PIRG’s board of directors had
chosen a number of projects
to involve St. Andrews people
and by so doing to “bring
PIRG back to the people.”
“PIRG has been too
isolated over the past few
years,” said Thompson.
“People tended to see the
board as the whole group,
when in fact the people are
PIRG and we on the board
are merely their agents.”
So far the largest project of
SA-pPIRG is its study of ihe
effectiveness of the federal
food stamp program in
Scotland County. Chairing the
food stamp subcommittee is

would not allow the use of its
darkroom, Beaty went off-
campus during Winter Term,
leaving the lay-out work to
her staff. Returning for a
brief period before another
trip off-campus, Beaty made
arrangements for the com
pleted layouts to be mailed to
Hunter, but this was ap
parently never done.
“I’m afraid that for a
variety of personal reasons
during the spring I didn’t
pursue the matter as far as I
should; I just wasn’t in shape
to fight with it,” said Beaty,
who also stated that she had
intended to finish the Year
book over the summer, but
had not had a chance to begin
before many of her materials
disappeared in the
remodeling of the Student
Union. There did not remain
sufficient material to
reconstruct the 1977 Lamp
and Shield.
The committee decided that
upon receipt of a written
statement from Sally Beaty,
and issurance of a statement
from the Student Life Com
mittee to 1977 graduates,
the affair of the non-year
book would be considered
closed. There was, however,
further discussion of the
Dosition of editor of both the
annual and LANCE. Putting
these editors on workships
and changing the method of
their selection were both
discussed. Potential ob
jections were raised by Dr.
Bill Somerville, who asked if
these proposals wouldn’t give
an inordinate amount of
editorial control to the ad
ministration. The discussion
was then discontinued until
the next meeting.
Charters were approved for
the Kennel Club, Farrago,
Health Sciences Club,
National Parapeligic Foun
dation, the Cairn, and the
Historical Society. The WSAP
charter was tabled due to lark
of advisor. The Conunittee
also accepted a lettpr fron
Roii Bayes stating that othe
student pubhcations shouk
not require charters.
