Is There Justice?
Honesty, sincerity, and
truth; how far do they get
you on the Saint Andrews
campus? Today, the court of
our college, better known as
the Judicial Board, is close to
its goal of objectivity. Ob
jectivity is just one of the
many concerns of the
dedicated members, two
basic issues of the board are
to decide law and to try fact.
Students of our school look
to the Judicial Board as a
representative of justice and
law. Many of the students
have said that the ad
ministration of the school
should adopt, if they haven’t
already, this policy. The
chairman of the Board, Jeff
Keys, stated that he thought
the administration was,
“undermining the function
and independence of the
board” and, “he would be
afraid to appear before the
Judicial Board of Saint
Andrews.” In stating this,
Jeff mentioned, an inquistion
system vs. an adversary
system. At. St. Andrews, on
paper we have an adversary
By LISA MOLLER
system though in practice,
we have an inquisition
system. An adversary court
presents two sides to an
impartial jury, whereas an
inquisition court has one
conunittee that listens to a
prosecution that could
overbalance the defense.
In reply, Jerry Surface,
Assistant Dean of Students,
has said that, ’“The ad
ministration must protect the
philosophy of the college.”
However, a number of
students have, wondered if
this means that the
‘philosophy of the college’ is
working against our Judicial
Board?
Granville (Jeff) Keys, the
chairman of the Judicial
Board said that, “the board
works well, within the
present system, but under a
revised system could work to
full capacity.” Many
members of this student
group feel that the attitude of
the administration could be a
little more supportive.
In many ways there have
been misunderstandings
Year of the Child
By JULIE MAINOUS
Everyone is still a child in some form or
another. Dr. Smith’s Education W-14 class is full
of children, and they are providing us the op
portunity to all become children again. 28 St. An
drews students and 14 S.A.C.K. students are put
ting on “The Year of the Child 1979.”
Although the year is 1980, lliis production is to
“conclude the year with festival of around the
world in 60 min. 12 different countries are to be
represented through the “festival” including the
United States. The music that will represent the
U. S. is jazz, Broadway with a piece from the hit
musical A Chorusline, Disco, square dance and
of course Ballet. All of the choregraphy, dance,
and scenes were put together in 12 days. The
festival proves to be “an education, but also en
tertaining,” says Eugene Smith who has put the
whole show together.
The troupe wUl put on 10 performances, and
expect to reach 6,000 students in the Scotland
County area. Performances will begin Jan. 25
and run through the 31st. The first performance
will be in Avinger starting at 8:00 p. m. Ad
mission is free, but donations will be accepted.
The show is guaranteed to bring out the child in
everyone. A lot of work has been put into the
show, and it should prove to be a childist delight.
between various members of
both sides. On January 9,
1980, Jeff Keys was speaking
with Mr. Jerry Surface, in
front of The Belk College
Center. In a voice audible
from 30 feet away, a remark
concerning a defendant of the
case, was thrown out to Jeff
Keys, a Judicial Board
member, Mr. Surface said,
“Wei I guess we never ac
cused him of being smart.”
Keys says, “Such a remark
could prejudice a Judicial
Board member in regard to
the case,” which at the time
had not been heard. The fact
that the statement from the
administrative member was
said before the case was
heard was highly improper.
Upon interview Mr. Surface
said, “That the remark was
made after the case was
heard.” Mr. Surface declared
that he had not intended the
remark as one to a Judicial
Board member, but rather to
a feUow human being, that is,
as a remark made in jest.
