action that can really bring about positive effects. This is
especially so at St. Andrews because of its small size.
St. Andrews is a good school considering the problems
that higher education is suffering through across the coun
try. Yet, as with most everything it could be better.
In community of this small size and nature, the fact that
things could be better but are not is a problem that all
students should take a great deal of responsibihty for.
We must stop accepting what is as necessarily the correct
way of doing things. We must look at what we want from
our four years here at St. Andrews and work to reach it,
both academically and socially. We as members of this
community help create the environment hence the ex
perience of St. Andrews. If we are looking for someone to
blame when its not quite right, we should look in the mir
ror. It is up to us to make our experience here a postive
one.
There are a lot of good things about St. Andrews and
most of them can be attributed to its size. A size that af
fords us all in this community, administrator, faculty
member, and student alike, the opportunity to make a
postivie change in our enrivroment.

created a more functional
and efficient computer
center. By expanding the !
floor space of its present '
location, a greater number of
terminals connected to
sophisticated computer
systems will be made more
accessible for student use.
A grant, recently acquired
by the St. Andrews Press
from the generous auspices
of poet Ethel Fortner, will
allow for development of
several of the student literary
publications. Formerly
office space, the
renovation will initiate the
estabhshment of a better
work area for the St. An
drews Press and Review.
A new reception room
located in the Liberal Arts
Building has been included in
the complete renovation
package creating a more
logical reception area for
campus visitors and guests.
Lastly, a large classroom
also in the L.A. Building, has
been converted into an Ad
ministrative Support Center
offering partitioned work
areas to better serve the
specific needs of college per
sonnel and to expedite mat
ters of administrative con
cern.
Defying Gravity

During the summer a
faculty designed Psychology
Laboratory Facility was built
in the lower floor of the
Morgan-Jones Science
Building.
This 3000-square-foot
complex has greatly increas
ed the opportunities for both
faculty and student
psychology research at St.
Andrews. The flexible design
of the lab will allow students
to carry out independent pro
jects as well as working with
the Psychology Faculty on
research.
The lab has six observation
rooms fitted with one-way
observation windows. These
present a much more
natural setting for observa
tions, such as the social in
teractions of playing
children. A sound proof
room, controlled light lab,
reading room, and other
general purpose rooms are
part of the facility. Also a
proposal has been made for
two Apple computers for the
lab.

Two new science courses
are being offered this fall at
St. Andrews. Exploring The
Physical World and In
troduction To Computer In
formation Systems.
“Exploring” is designed
for non-science majors and
those who may want to test
the waters of science with
their toe before jumping into
a standard introductory
course. The class is team-
taught by Doctors Dotson,
Blackburn, Boggs, and Irvin.
“Computer Information
Systems”, taught by Dr.
Wetmore, provides an in
troduction into the applica
tions of computer hardware
and software systems.
Because the knowledge of
how to interact with a com
puter is rapidly becoming
essential in today’s world,
this course looks like a win
ner for everyone.
