Sen. Hatfield To Lecture At S. A.
Double Major:
One Degree
By JoeySherr
A LANCE investigation was
prompted recently by the
concern of some students over
the fact that a student double-
majoring in a science and a
field outside science could not
receive both a Bachelor of
Arts and a Bachelor of Science
degree.
This concern stemmed from
the feeling that certain
students who fulfilled the
requirement of a double
major would not receive full
acknowledgement of their
accomplishment.
The main difference bet
ween the Bachelor of Science
and the Bachelor of Arts
degree is the number of
courses required, Bachelor of
Science requiring more. The
Bachelor of Science degree is
only offered for biology and
chemistry, and for any con
tract major involving those
programs.
According to Dean Crossley,
only one degree is granted
“because the degree reters to
the entire four-year bac
calaureate program, not to a
major or more than one
major. The issue is whether or
not a person taking more than
one major should get more
than one degree at the same
time. What if the person took a
major in psychology and a
major in art - are they given
two Bachelor of Arts degrees?
No, they’re given only one
degree.”
Crossley contends that there
is not a lack of equity in this
system, since no major is
listed on the diploma. Instead,
majors are part of each
person’s official transcript.
“Graduate schools and
employers want to see if you
have a solid academic
background for doing the kind
of work that they expect you to
do. I don’t think that the
degree name is very im
portant in most cases,” stated
Crossley.
Dr. Wetmore, Chairman of
the Division of the
Mathematocal, Natural, and
Health Sciences agreed with
this view by adding that “if
you are interviewing tor a job,
the interviewer will read your

Senator Mark Hatfield, an
Oregon Republican, will be
giving a lecture at St. An
drews March 8th. This lecture
will be entitled “Piety,
Politics, and Higher
Education,” and will be
followed by discussion. To be
given in one week, this lecture
will be in Avinger at 8 PM.
Presently the 6th ranking
Republican in the Senate, the
29th in the fuU Senate, and just
beginning his third term,
Hatfield has been mentioned
as a possible candidate for the
Republican nomination for the
1980 elections.
Senator Hatfield rose to
national prominence by
becoming one of the first
Senators to publicly denounce
the Vietnam War. As one of
the earliest opponents of the
Vietnam War (his was the
only negative vote on this
issue at the 1965 and 1%6
Governor’s Conferences), he
maintains a keen interest in
foreign affairs. He serves on
the Subcommittee funding
U.S. foreign assistance
programs. He is a
Congressional leader in ef
forts to combat world hunger.
As a member of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, he
also is deeply involved in all
facets of the appropriations
process, determining Federal
spending priorities.
The College Christian
Council (CCC) is sponsoring
Senator Hatfield’s visit and
lecture, as a continuing part of
their efforts to reach the
campus and “break down the
walls” of St. Andrews. George
Anderson, Chairman of the
Prophetic Political Com
mittee of the CCC, said that
“It is unusual to have a man of
Hatfield’s stature at this small
a college. The potential of a
lecture and discussion under
such circumstances is ex
citing.”
Because he represents a
state where the Federal
government owns over 50
percent of the land, Senator
Hatfield’s prime areas of
expertise include natural
resource and public land
issues. His service on the
Senate Energy and Natural
Resources and Appropriations
Committees provides daily
involvement in energy-
releated areas, forestry,
housing, and water resource
development.
In addition to serving on the
other Committees, Hatfield
also is the ranking Republican
member of the Rules and
Administration Committee.
This committee considered
the nominations of Geraid
Ford and Nelson Rockefelle ■,
federal budget reform, the
Federal Elections Com
mission, contested Senate
seats in New Hampshire and
Oklahoma, revision in im
peachment rules, establish
ment of a Senate Committee
on Intelligence Activities, as
well as internal Senate
reforms.
Senator Hatfield is a
member of the Temporary
Select Committee on Indian
Affairs, with legislative
authority over all Indian-
related issues in the 95th
Congress. He also was a
member of the Federal
Paperwork Commission.
Hatfield also has had ex
perience in the educational
field. After graduaton from
Willamette University in 1943,
and Stanford University in
1948, with a Bachelors and a
Masters Degree in Political
Science, he taught political
science at Willamette
University. He also served as
Dean of Students from 1948-
1956.
Hatfield has had a steady
impressive rise in politics. He
was first elected as a State
Represeniaiive lo me Uregon
State Legislature from 1951-
1955. From 1955-1957, he was
elected as a State Senator to
that same body. From 1957-
1959, he served as the Oregon
Secretary of State. Hatfield
served two terms as Governor
of Oregon from 1959-1957. He
was elected delegate to all the
Republican National Con
ventions from 1952 through
1976, with the exception of
1972.
Before politics, Hatfield saw
duty in the Pacific theatre of
World War II from 1943-1945.
Faming the rank of
Lieutenant j.g., he com
manded landing craft at Iwo
Jima and Okinawa. He also
had duty during the oc
cupation of Japan.
Hatfield has written four
books. His first, “Not Quite So
Simple”, was published in
1967; his second, “Conflict and
Conscience,” in 1971; his
third, “Between a Rock and a
Hard Place,” in 1976. He co-
authorrrt “Amnesty: The
Unsettled Question of Viet
nam," in 1973.

The Yearbook Progresses
There’s a chance that this
year’s St. Andrews yearbook
will come out before
graduation, although it’s no
longer guaranteed.
The St. Andrews yearbook
has had a history that puts
soap opera to shame. Until
about eight years ago, the
annual was completely sub
sidized by the administration
and had a high budget. The
annual was a respected
quality publication.
Then came the infamous
“Black Issue” printed about
1972, which portrayed
Laurinburg in not too friendly
a light. The Administration
responded by cutting off funds
for the printing of the annual.
At this point students
decided to take the ncessary
funds from the Student
Association budget so that the
yearbook would continue. This
worked until 1975, when a
paperback annual was issued.
Then came the 1976 issue
which came out one year late.
Susan Mann was the editor of
this issue.
The biggest yearbook
scandal was in 1977 when no
yearbook was issued, and
approximately $2000 was lost.
Sally Beatty, then editor of the
yearbook, had turned only six
pages in to the printer. In
essence, this was the reason
for the missing yearbook.
Judi Plyler, editor of the
1978 edition, turned out a 96-
page annual that was one year
late.
Now the time is here that
will decide how the 1979
yearbook will fare.
The problem, according to
students who have worked on
the yearbook, is winter term.
The deadline for getting the
completed annual to the
printer is early February.
With many students off -
campus for winter term, the
bulk of the work falls on few
people.
The blame for the hassle in
this year’s annual falls mostly
on the photographers, ac
cording to yearbook staff
personnel. After winter term,
a photographer dropped out
of school without completing
the job for which he was hired.
His main responsibility, that
of taking faculty pictures, was
left unfulfilled.
Also looming big is the fact
that students themselves do
not cooperate in the
production of the annual.
Many students who signed up
for an appointment with a
yearbook ohotographer did
