Library Theft
Detamble Library was
entered after 11; 30 on Monday
night, April 24, and a small
amount of cash and the Xerox

stolen. Indications are that
the library was entered by
someone using a key and
familiar with the location in
which the cash reserve was
kept.
Because of information
received on Saturday, the

theft might be attempted, and
had taken steps to secure the

receipts from the current
book sale received on Mon

What Is
Bacchanalia
BY TOM DUNN
The word Bacchanalia
comes from the Latin Bac
chus, the God of Wine.
Bacchanalia is the
celebration of that god. The
first St. Andrews Bacchanalia
occurred on a Friday af
ternoon in the spring of 1968,
ten years ago this year. The
location was the house of John
Craig, past College Gulf on
the way to Gibson.
The idea for Bacchanalia
came from a bunch of
students who enjoyed playing
softball. They decided to play
ball and drink beer at the som
e time. They had three or four
kegs during the afternoon,
and the whole campus was
invited. Besides beer they had
a greased pig chase. When
caught, however, the pig was
not roasted. Music was
provided by John’s stereo
playing out the window of his
house.
Kegs of beer was an
essentially new idea at St.
Andrews’ parties. Rules on
campus prohibited abchol in
all of the dorms. The duties of
suite leader included in
forming the Residence
Director when one of his suit
mates was drinking. This was
the first campus-wide beer
party at St. Andrews. It pared
the way for more off campus
parties and broke the ground
for eventual parties of this
nature on campus.
From that first Bac
chanalia, described by Dr.
Dick Prust as the “major
breakthrough in St. Andrews
parties,” Bacchanalia has
grown in a decade to en
compass a week-long variety
of activities running the
gamut from movies and
games to the usual kegs and
bands and the formal laun
ching.

documentary concerning the
Altamont rock festival in the
late sixties. Well known for its
sound, photography and
accurate reportage, the film

one who ejjoyed "Wood-
stock.”

THE THRILL OF PLAYING and the agony of watching have
always been an integral part of the Bacchanalia festivities. This

record some of the fun. Present team standings are below;

Elections At An End
Kunkle was chosen over Mike
Manning by ? 32-23 margin
and Rick Blai \ defeated Joe
Watson 28-17 in a race
marked by 11 abstentions.
Norman Moseley came
from a sizeable deficit to
become President of
Mecklenburg over Hal Bailey
by an extremely narrow 35-34
edge.
Chris Hesley outpolled Mike
Vaughn 19-9 to receive the
Social chairmanship in
Winston-Salem.
The race for President of
Orange is the only contest still
undecided, and will have to
depend on a seldom invoked
provision for senatorial
choice after a tie in a run-off.
In the original election
LuAnne Ladd, running as a
write-in, edged Richard
Durham 19-17, but 6 other
write-ins sent the race into a
runoff. Forty-three turned out
from Orange yesterday, and
due to one absention the 21-21
tie will have to be decided by
the Senate next week.
