Letters to the editor
In light of an editorial that appeared
in the latest issue rf the Lance many
people haved been offended by the
comments made by Jerry Hudgins.
He practically suggested that our new
freshmen 90 home to change their
clothes. Several of us would like to
know when the dress code at St. An-
drews was revised to discourage the
“preppie look.” Jerry goes as far as to
make an example of a young lady who
committed the crime of wearing
designer socks. Let us please remem
ber that not everyfflie here shops at K-
mart for their first year of college. We
believe it is refreshing to see people
who dress to impress on days others
than Sunday. Likewise if ftere are
those who wish to wear generation
hand-me-downs that is fine if that is
what you call identity. It is hard to
believe that anyone is sq^underwater
as to believe that clothes will make
clones of our freshmen. Most freshmen
ccmes into a college a little loswt in the
CMifusion and when someone tells
them they are not fitting in, what are
they to think? At least give them a
chance to visit the goodwill store over
Fall break so they can return with an
cient jeans, lumber jack shirts and a
bandana to hide the greasies. It doesn’t
seem very likely that eveiy entrant
will bring a wardrobe that will fit
directly into the Laurinburg coun
tryside. If several people wearing nice
“uniform” clothes gives someone the
impression of fenced cattle I guess that
same person would call our U.S.
Marine a major dairy operation. If the
marines are “The few and the proud”
why can’t preppies be just as proud.

however
certain
TIb column is being written ^or
the ususal Monday copy deadline, the
good name of THE LANCE is, to some,
tarnished and our continued existance
into the remainder of Oie year less
than certain. I have received a
moderate, though not excessive,
degree of criticism for what has been
written in Polls during the past weeks.
A negative reaction to my column is
merely challanging and must be ac
cepted as the necessary risk of a
published writer. But some of the
negative attitudes toward journalism,
freedom of the press, and THE LANCE
as an organ of campus life which now
manifest themselves demand my
strong and immediate rebuttal.
When you read this column Thursday,
the Interdormitory Senate will havei
taken action on THE LANCE proposed
quest for funds at last week’s budget
hearing was less than encouraging. At
this moment I have no idea how the
Senate will vote. Even if our budget is
approved (and I will be most grateful
to those Senators who support us)
there will remain those attitudes men
tioned above to which I shall now ad
dress myself.
Over the course of last year THE
LANCE was often the center of
sometimes heated and almost always
confusing controversy. Some grudges
and hurt feelings may stiU linger. I
refuse to even begin making apologies
or excuses for anyone. Seme dear
friends were often at the center of tht
controversie, and yet I am still con
fused by much of what happened. One
the past shaU, in my mind at least
remain in the past. I am not a memhpr
of THE LANCE staff in order to pou!
gasoline in flames which should have
been extinguished long ago. if someone
can convince me that sudi is the pu.
pose of this newspaper my resignatjon
shall be immediate and without
hesitation.
Moving on to other points, questions
have been raised in the Senate as I
whether some aspects of The LANCE's
content merit the support of Senate
funding. In response, I would like to
point out that Lisa Moller has not yet
relinguished her editorial powers to
anyone, including the Senate. Respon.
ses to our content is up to the editor.
Persuade her if you can. Do not order
her.
In closing, and against my better
judgment, I shall make a few
retrospective remarks about past
editions of this column. Never has it
been my intentirai to advocate the
dismissal of any of our valued and
respected friends on the college staff
and administration. FinaUy, I would
like to point out that the respon
sibilities of writer and reader ar«
mutual. The writer must use words
clear in meaning and the reader must
try to understand their meaning. To
the extent I may have ever failed in
my responsibility, I humbly apologize,
remined to always met their
obligation. Such is the “excellence”
refered to in the college motto. I hope
that I have made myself clear this
week in addressing a worthwhile topic.
