Punishment;
A
Historical
Perspective
The sight of the monumen
tal walls and high towers of
an American state prison con
veys such an impression of
fixity and permanence that
one easily forgets that' in
carceration is a com
paratively modern practice.
Pentitentiaries do have a
history. They have not always
been with us. AS sensitivity to
this history, an understanding
of the causes for their
creation and perpetuation can
help to clarify for us what we
can and cannot expect of
these institutions.
Our colonial forefathers
relied upon very different
methods of punishment. Con
vinced that the threat of
deviant behavior came
mostly from outsiders, they
guarded twin boundaries with
all the diligence we reserve
for an international frontier.
To preserve their insularity,
towns regularly banished or
expelled suspicious charac
ters and petty offenders.

SING SING PRISON: In the 19th and early 20th centuries
prison inmates were often forced to march in lock step and
observe strict silence rules. Today’s instalbnent of “Crime and
Justice” looks at the results of such policies.
Women^s Series Begins
Last Wednesday evening,
the Women’s Series presented
its first program in the Kings
Mountain lounge. The
programs, entitled “The
Subject is Rape”, included a
film and discussion with
Kathleen Benzaquin, Director
of Student Activities and
organizer of the Women’s
Series. The program was the
first in a series planned for
the benefit of the women
students, faculty and staff of
St. Andrews. Attendance,
however, was extremely poor
which was surprising due to
the importance of rape
prevention and self-defense
for women today. Despite the
small turnout, it was a very
lively discussion group and
worthwhile for those who
attended.
This month’s Women’s
Series program is scheduled
for Wednesday, November 16
at 7 p.m. in the Kings
Mountain lounge. Entitled
“Our Bodies and Ourselves,”
it will be an in-depth
discussion on various medical
concerns of women today,
including birth control and
cancer. Speakers will be Ms.
Maxine McNeill and Ms.
Cheryl Miller. This is one
program that many students
can benefit from.
Future programs planned
by the Women’s Series in
clude womem and alcohol,
homosexuality, the legal
rights of women, women and
careers, marriage and its
alternatives, women’s roles,
and the black woman today.
If there are any programs you
would like to see as part of the
Women’s Series or if there
are any speakers you can
recommend, please stop by
and visit with Ms. Benzaquin
in Student Activities.

Auction
Mecklenburg Party To Follow
The St. Andrews Art Guild,
a newly formed organization
representing students in
terested in the visual arts,
announced Monday its first
fund-raising event for the
year, a Slave Auction to be
held Friday, November 4, in
Farrago, at 7:30. Ap
proximately 25 students will
be auctioned off, along with
various goods, by Dr. Dick
Prust. Music will be provided
by Thom Johnson’s Band and
Nine, Dark, and Salty. There
wiU be four kegs of beer, and
admission will be $1.50 at the
door.
“A lot of people wonder just
what an Art Guild is or does,”
said Director Sandy Whitley
at the Tuesday night Senate
meeting.” “We’ve trying to
bring a greater awareness of
the visual arts onto campus.
Among the things we’d like to
do this year is begin a per
manent St. Andrews Art
Collection, make more crafts
readily available to the
students, and invite down
more visiting artists than has
been the case in the past.”
But Whitley also voted that,
being a new organization, the
Art Guild has little in the way
of funding or recognition on
campus. “That’s what this
Slave Auction is for,” she
said. “We want to entertain
the campus for an evening,
and make some money so that
we can have a beneficial
effect on life at St. Andrews
the rest of the year.”
It was also noted that while
admission to the Slave
Auction was $1.50, this price
wiU also cover admission to
Mecklenburg Hall’s all-night
party beginning just after
midnight. The Meek party
will begin by the showing of
the movie “Cactus Flower”.
Senate Meets
At its Tuesday night
meeting, the Senate approved
funds for several clubs and
organizations. Absent from
the meeting Tuesday night
were Senate President Bob
Haley and President Pro Tem
Judi Plyler. In the absence of
both presiding officers, senate
Parlimentarian Steve Newton
asked for a suspension of
senate rules in order that they
might elect a “temporary
President Pro Tem” and
continue with the meeting.
That request was granted,
and John Patton, Senator
from Granville, was elected
