Highlands Party
What Do You
Think About At
Oxford Anyway?
To llie Editor:
What with the Arabs and Israelis having at it,
these strange doings in Guyana, and all the post
election commentators trying to decide what (if
indeed anything) the recent voting returns
portend, some of life’s less outrageous incidents
tend to get lost in the shuffle. As a case in point, I
pass along a letter an English gentleman decided
to share with the readers of “The Times” of
London.
An African Snowball
From Mr. E.H. Cooke-Yarborough
Sir, My son writes from Kenya that on October 20
he and a friend climbed Mount Elgon (14,152 feet)
on the Kenya-Uganda border. At the summit, it
snowed heavily, and he was able to make a
snowball. This he threw, with due ceremony,
across the border from Kenya into Uganda.
Yours faithfully,^,

Near Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
Ah, yes, folks, there’ll always be an England!

Dear Students,
I, as a member of Highland
Dorm would like to thank
those of you \^o came to our
Christmas Crash party. The
party seemed to go well and I
hope those who came enjoyed
themselves. There are some of
you who I do not want to thank
for coming to party and I hope
you will never to come to a
party at Highlands for that
reason or any other social
function that I must attend.
People I’m speaking of are
those of you that felt that it is
necessary to urinate in a smk
when there is a commode no
less than two feet behind them
and also those of you that
need to put your fist through
the paper towel dispenser, not
to mention those of you that
take the toilet paper dispenser
for a purpose of a mini-soccer
ball to be kicked about the
bathroom.
Highland dorm parties in
the past have not had these
destruction problems. All of
these types of destructions
have to be fixed and are paid
for from our dorm fee which is
the smallest of any of the
dorms on campus.
I extend an invitation to
those of you who must behave
in this destructive manner. I
extend an invitation to you to
the next party in Ashboro at
the state zoo.
Again, I thank those of you
who had a good time con
ducted yourselves properly
and hope you will come to
many more functions at
Highlands Dorm.
Thank you,
Robert McWhorter
Idea Evaluation
To the Editor:
The faculty is now in its
third regular term of ex
perimentation with the IDEA
sysem of instructioal
evaluation. During the
remainder of the fall term,
students will be asked in many
of their courses to complete an
assessment of their learning
and of their instructo’s
progress in helping them
achieve chosen objectives.
As faculty coon^ator of the
IDEA system tliis term, I
would like to urge those of us
participating to take these ef
forts seriously and employ
patience and careful thoughtin
completing the rsponse cards.
Course evaluaticms are the
primary sources of in
formation available to a
faculty person who wants to
improve his or her teaching ef
fectiveness., IDEA also
provides a systonatic means
whereby students can reflect
on their learning progress.
For anyohe desiring mote
information on the IDEA
system, I woll be gald to assist
in answering your questions.
The faculty willbe grateful for
everyone’s cooperation.

Cross Country Course
Can you not reach your toes,
couch your nose, stretch and
reach those highs and lows..
Is the only exercise you get,
the struggle when snapping
you levis.. maybe a Physical
Fitness Program is what you
need to get your body back
into shape.
St. Andrews now has a new
cross-country coiu^e with ten
exercise stations, to help you
firm and tone those muscles;
and improve your cartio-
vascular system as well. The
course, beginning behind
Wilmington Dorm, circles the
lake, into the woods, and ends
at the soccer held. 2.2 miles
long. Every two tenth mile has
“Management Report” Contmued
an exercises such as the half
squat, push up, hang & twost.
tire jump and ham string
stretch.
The course was designed
and initiated by Liz Black a St.
Andrew senior, as a project
for her Physical Education
class under Dr. Smith. Liz
emphasizes, that the course is
designed to suit every-bodies
needs, both the beginner and
the experienced athlete. In
dividuals can work out their
own program, and increase
the output at their own rate.
The course will be opening
December 10 at 2:00, and Liz
wil be pioneering any in
terested persons for the first
tour.

the blackout. These charac
ters include Miss Fumival, a
middle-aged spinster; Ban-
burger, a millionaire and
collector; and Schuppanzigh,
a middle-class German
refugee.
Brindsley will be played by
Jerome Johnson. Susan
Russell will portray Carol,
while Jan Pegram wiU be
Clea. Other actors in the play
will be John Courtney as
Colonel Pmelkett, Tom Guinn
as Harold, Lynn May as Miss
Fumival, Chris Wert as
Schuppanzigh, and David
Miller as Banberger.
“Black Comedy” promises
to be a very humouous play.
Furthermore, it should be a
welcome relief from the pre
exam blues.
Christmas
Dance
Highlands and Concord
Dormitoreis are featuring the
Christmas Dance co
sponsored by the CUB.
AJthough there has been a
great deal of controversy over
the price of tickets it looks to
be a success.
At the dance there will be an
elaborate assortment of hors
d’oerves not to mention the
band EAZE is considered one
of the best hands in the
Southeast by Century Artists.
I think those who are
plannLig to attend the dance
will find the dance most
rewarding. Carol McLain,
Vice-President of CUB, the
Social Chairman, Sandy
Baldwin (Highlands) and
Patti Perkins (Concrd) and
the members of both dorms
put in a great deal of effort to
make the dance a pleasurable
experience.
I, asa member of Highlands
dorm, am looking forward to
the Christmas Dance and hope
that those who are skeptical
will gain a more positive at
titude towards the Christmas
Dance.
The dance wiU be held at the
Old Club lobby and Dining
Room of the Pinehurst
Country Club from 8:30-1:00 a.
m., this Saturday, December
9.1 hope for those of you who
do come you will enjoy
yourselves.

He also projects retirement
of accumulated operating
deficits, a balanced budget
each year, growth in en
dowment resources tomore
than $7,000,000, and a refur
bished physical plant with im
proved access for the han

“A Board of Trustees second
to none in capability and
dedication” is also one of the
goals.
Now being mailed to major
constituents of the college, the
“Management Repoort” cites
several gains since 1975:"
1) Enrollment at 601, from a
1975 low of 543;
2) Student retention at 55
percent from a low of 42 per
cent, and now well above the
national average, with a goal
of at least 60 percent over the
four years;
3) An intensive faculty
development program that
includes a rise in terminal
degrees coupled with a drop in
tenured faculty to the 60 per
cent level from a high of 82
percent, a three-year summer
study program for faculty,
and improved faculty staf
fing:
4) An improved athltic
program, with a goal thisyear
of 60 percent' victories, up
from a low of 32 percent;
5) Improved management
in all areas of the business fun
ctions of the college:
budgeting, planning,
maximum endownment yield
coupled with good stewar
dship, and impoved aiergy
conservation;
6) A realistic approach to
tution and fees, both to assitt
rfi college financially and not
close the door to studeni:i;
augmentation of sup-
plemtnary incnne; a con
tinued plan of land develo{>-
ment; maintenance of good
diurch relationships, and the
enhancement of the Annual
Fund.
7) Ttie continuance of an ac
tive fund rasing program, and
the completion of several
present ventiu^s: the trustee
commitment fund to eliminate
past opeating deficits; the
Synod of North Carolina cam
paign, and the special fund for
the physically handicapped, to
provide endowment and im
provement in this unique area
of service.
Perkinson also cites as
recent gains the establish
ment of the McGaw Professor
ship in Chemistry, thework
being done mi the Warner L.
Hall Chair in religion and
philosophy, accelerating ex
penditures for the DeTamble
Library, and the establish
ment of the Governor’s
School-East on the St. An

“Sound management has
never been more vital to the
futureof St. Andrews than it is
Itoday,” says President Perkin
son. “The pressure generated
by the twein perils of iiiflation
and a projected national
decline in the numbers of
students eoinp to college
during the next wo decades
present diffi ult challenges.”
“St. Andrews is determined
twneet those challenges and to
enhance the quality of its
management, not simply to
survive, but more importantly
to enrich the experience of
every student.”
