Students Need
To Clean Up Their Act
By BILITLIDE
On Wednesday night, two weeks, ago, I participated
in the bonfire given by Granville Dorm. It was a great
idea and it was nice to sit with my friends around a fire.
The group of people I was with outlasted everyone and
we didn’t leave until shortly before 12:00 PM. When we
were preparing to leave we were stunned to find the
beach area looking like a dump.
There were empty beer cans, blankets, cups and
numerous marshmallow packages strewn all over the
beach, but the most amazing thing was that there
were several ^rbage cans there, but they
were no more than half full. Before we
left we attempted to clean up a little, but the I place still
looked like a wreck.
When I returned to the scene the following morning
the area had been cleaned up by some unknown
students, that need to be commended.
If we, the students, expect the administration to allow
us to have anymore of these outdoor gatherings then we
must show more responsibility, as a whole, and clean up
what we mess up.
The lack of responsibility of the students to keep St.
Andrews clean seems to be a problem that stretches
clear across campus. If you look around any of the
dorms you will most likely find unnecessary trash that
could have been put in a trash can with little effort.
The maintenance crew is hired by the school to keep
the grounds clean, but that does not mean that the
students can nelgect their responsibility to keep their
own community clean.
Last year Winston-Salem Dorm had a “clean-up”
day to cleanse the area around that dorm of debris. It
was a success and there was a healthy turnout by the
residents of that dorm. With this example, I encourage
all dorms to have similar activities and we should look
seriously at having a campus wide “clean-up” day.
The way a community looks is a reflection on the self
esteem of the inhabitants of that communiy. Do we
want visitors to think that we have no self-esteem and
respect for our surroundings? Of course we don’t, so
let’s act together and make St. Andrews a cleaner and
better place to live.
GRIPES TO THE ADMINISTRATION
1) Why do the library and Belk Center’s outside lights
stay on all-day and then get turned off at night?
2) Why, since the Administration has buckled down
on allowing students to drive on the grass, do they let
the maintenance crew make a shambles of the grassy
areas by letting them make their garbage runs in any
area of'campus?

Roving Reporter:
The Nuclear
Arms Race
By PAUL WEBB
The threat of nuclear war
is becoming more evident
every day. Many people are
afraid that in the near future,
a nuclear devastation wil)
take place. Many believe that
a freeze shpuld be placed oii
nuclear arms, while others
take the opposite stance and
believe that nuclear arms
build up i& a necessary part
of the U.S. defense system.
Recently some St. Andrews
students were asked to give
their opinions on this con
troversial issue:
Ray White; Ray believes
that the U.S. is much more
powerful than the Soviet
Union and that the U.S.
could probably blow up the
U.S.S.R. with no problem.
Ray also believes that the
defense spending ofv the
U.S. is necessary to insure
safety in the U.S. Although
he believes the U.S. is strong
enough to overcome any op
position, he does not think a
nuclear war will break out.
Jean Jones: Jean said that
any nuclear war would bring
on total devastation and that
any thought of such a war
would be totally suicidal. He
believes that a nuclear war
with Russia, or anyone else,
would be totally futile. Jean
also said that he is complete
ly against any form of war
fare.
Stuart Brantley: Stuart
believes that anything is
possible. He expressed his
resentment to a world war,
but at the same time em
phasized the need for some
kind of defense plan. Stuart
also believes that the Soviets
have more nuclear weapons
than they are accounting for.
He said that the Soviets will
not get the upper hand on the
U.S.

Letters tothe Editor
The CCU hopes that the
Montreat Retreat of Oct.
22nd-24th will promote
awareness of blacks and
whites’ perception of one
another. We would like to
create an awakening, and an
englightenment, to the
historical and intellectual
background of these percep-
tions. Through this
awareness we wish to give
birth to a sense of empathy
for racial stress. This retreat
should be a springboard
from which to continue black
and white interaction* both
formal and informal, here on’
this campus. We beheve the
retreat will provide focus for
action, rather than mere con
templation, using par ticipants'
as a grass-roots group ifor ge-'
nuine interracial community
living,
i hanK you,
Katy Weatherington
Dear Sir:
I read with interest youi
coverage of the dormitorj
renovation and the issues in
volved. The reports rais£
crucial issues on a subject 1
had not thought much about
and for that you are to b£
commended.
Nevertheless, I protest tbe
easy analogy between Beirut
and Mecklenberg dormitory.
As one guilty of many bi
jokes and poor analogies
my lectures I am
qualified to recognize «![
faults in others. I pray ™
none of the St. Andrew
community ever has to go
through what Beirut is gw’'*
through and that ou|
students will come to und«
tand the difference betwee
the hellish ravages of *
and the gradual deteriora
of a college’s physical pia"*'
Respectively,
Jack Roper
