More Feelings On
Trustee Retreat
To the editor:
Tom and I wanted to share
personal feeling with
veryone as well as report the
oings on of the retreat. The
(irst most important hap
pening” for us was that alot of
mvths and stereotypes we had
Zut the other groups at
tending the retreat were
Spilled. We found out that
„e have some very con-
cerned, active exciting
trustees and that the ad
niinistration does care about
what is special about St.
Andrews and not just the
balance sheet. We discovered,
somewhat to our surprise,
that we were accepted on
equal footing and that our
criticisms and complamts
were not only welcomed but
actually listened to by the
other parties. We were sorry
that more students could not
have made it to the retreat,
and we want you all to know
that your vote does count, as
Tom said in our discussions.
Another interesting thing to
see was the community-the
“we are all in this together”
feeling that pervaded the
meeting. Students are not the
only people at SA concerned
about keeping the college
open and special and strong—
there are many, many others
with the same worries.
Trustees and faculty and staff
and students are not “strange
bedfellows”, Tom offers, but
people who have alot in
common. And with the storms
and problems facing colleges
like SA, it is vital that
everyone become involved-
join committees, air your
complaints and concern-and
be willing to work together.
Above all, the retreat
helped to renew our belief
that SA is special. Not
heaven, but special. We have
our problems, we have our
differences, but as long as we
can be tolerant of each other
and care enough about the
greater whole we can keep
what is different, even
unique, to use a well-worn
cliche, about this place.
In conclusion, Tom and I
would like to pass on
something we observed that
happened right before the
first meeting of the retreat.
As people were milling
around the outer porch, a dog
lumbered up, tail wagging,
moving through the several of
us smiled as Dean Crossley
remarked, something to the
effect of. “We can start now-
with the dog here, we have
everyone at St. Andrews
represented.”

CHOICE Concert (continued)
The concept of quality
concert on this campus has
been renewed. September
16th, a band by the name of
Choice will be appearing in
the main gym. They are
booked out of Atlanta and are
considered the leading
unrecorded rock band. The
group has played in front of
Foghat, Peter Frampton, and
Led Zeppelin. Choice recently
completed a successful
Midwest tour and has played
throughout the Northeast and
Southeast smashing concert
attendance records at many
major universities.
Their stage show is con
sidered to be one of best of its
kind. Depending upon the
success of the Choice concert,
Pablo Cruise is scheduled to
perform in the main gym
November 15th. Again, it is
important to mention that the
success of these two concerts
depends on your support. We
have specific contacts con
cerning the Spring semester,
but the Spring depends on the
Fall.
In concluding, we would like
to say that many people have
worked hard and
cooperatively to make this
year one of the best as far as
providing entertainment for
the student body. It is very
important that we have your
input as well as your feedback
and, . . . respect, things can
be improved.
Choice concert tickets will
be on sale daily in the William
Henry Belk College Center at
$2.50 for students. Tickets will
be $3.50 at the door on the
night of the concert.
