Firestone
Lobbyist
Defends Position
The term “Lobbyist”
carries paricular implications
these days, most of which
aren’t good. Chuck Hagel, a
registered Firestcme lobbjist
on campus Monday and
Tuesday, attempted to give
listeners a new view of just
what a lobbyist was and why
lobbyists were necessary.
“Lobbying,” said Hagel on
Tuesday morning, “Is a form
of instruction and a form of
education. Ttiere is no way an
elected representative and his
or her staff can be
knowledgeable about all
issues, but the job requies just
that, that the representative
be able to understand, speak,
and vote intelligently on all
the issues,” Lobbyists, “Hagel
contends,” provide necessary
base of information upon
«4iich elected representatives
can base their votes.
Quite frankly admitting that
it doesn’t always work so
smoothly in real life, Hagel
pointed out that the lobbyist
system inherently carries its
own safeguard, in that there is
a lobbyist to represent almost
every interest. As an example
he cited recent Congressional
consideration of the Lobby
Reform BiU, during which
Congressmen talked to both
corporate lobbyists (such as
Firestone’s) and those of the
AFL-CIO, each representing a
vastly different opinion.
After an initial look at lob
byists themselves, Hagel
proceeded to talk about a
number of subjects, ranging
from reasons Labor has
“oiltgunned” Business in the
area of political influence to
the blame business had to take
for allowing itself to be
overregulated because it had
been unresponsive to the
needs of the consumer. “Get
into politics or get out of
business,” he quoted one new
slogan as being in the business
world.
Forty-five minutes of ob
servations by Hagel were
followed by a question and an
swer session in which, predic
tably, the plight of Firestone
and the Firestone 500 Radial
came up almost immediately.

Off-Campus Winter Term Com*ses
Vary Widely
Again, we are in the process
of deciding which course to
take this winter term. Un
doubtedly, the various off-
campus courses are at the top
of our priority lists. The
eleven off-campus winter
term courses so far planned
this year offer opportunities
for travel that cannot be
bypassed. This year, students
may choose to travel as far
away as Europe and Asia or as
close to home as South
Carolina. At the same time,
they will be gaining valuable
cultural experience and in
most cases will be taking cour
ses that count towards a
major.
Several of the off-campus
courses have been offered in
earlier years at St. Andrews.
For instance, the an
thropology course taught by
Prof. Schulz and Prof. Joyner
on ASIAN CULTURES, which
deals with Hawaii’s Asian
heritage. MARINE BIOLOGY
IN BELIZE is offered again
this year. The course will be
taught by Prof. Torres and
will involve “studies of
Marine populations and com
munities ... on the coral reefs
\(4iich lie off the coast of
Belize.” Also, a group of
students will set out for India
again this year with Prof.
Bushoven in an encounter with
another culture.
Among the new courses of
fered this winter term are tun
courses, such as SKIING in
Vermont with Prof. Jones;
FROM FREEWAYS TO
TRIJOLES, “an historical and
cultural visit to lo-
Angeles” with Pros. Ellsworth
and Prof. Kesselman;
IMAGES OF SICKNESS,
DEATH, AND DYING IN
THE MODERN WEST, vrtiich
includes a trip to England with
Prof. White; and FRANCE:
AN ENCOUNTER IN THE
ARTS, with Prof. McDonald.
There are also those courses
that count towards a major:
INTRODUCTION TO MESO-
AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOG-
Y, taught by Prof. McLean in
Mexico; THE URBAN EN
COUNTER in New York City
with Prof. Ludlow; EX
PERIENCE IN COMMUNAL
LIVING AND SOCL\L AC
TION AT KOmONU near
Americus, Georgia, w*ich will
be taught by Prof. Paul; N.Y.
THEATRE EXPERIENCE
with Prof. Ford; and the WAC-
CAMAW HISTORICAL
FOLKLIFE PROJECT at
Georgetown County, S.C. with
Prof. Joyner.
A detailed description of
each off-campus winter term
course can be found in the
course description booklet
marked WINTER TERM,

taints informati(xi such as
cost, registration dates, etc.

“I was disturbed by a few
students’ resoonse of not
caring,” added Anderson.
“However, it i were to give a
reaction to the response of St.
Andrews as a whole it would
be tht the school acted respon
sibly.”
“I think it was very wor
thwhile that we acted on a con
cern outside the campus. The
CCC plans to continue keeping
the students aware. We hope
they will remain concerned,”
says Joey Sherr, member of
