C) '85-'86 SGA Budget.
The Budget Committee of the
Senate, SGA Treasurer Dave Snyder,
and I, worked hard to put together a
budget for the Clubs & Organizations
on campus. The total amount of
funds requested from the SGA was
over $60,000. Unfortunately, the
SGA was only given $34,500 to
distribute this year. Although, this
amount was up from last year's total,
it obviously was not nearly enough to
adequately fund all the requests.
Overall, it was very difficult for the
Budget Committee to make cuts in
the proposed budgets. Many clubs
submitted budgets that were well
prepared and deserving of much
more money than the SGA could af
ford, especially in terms of the
number and quality of speakers
clubs were wanting to have visit
our campus.
Obviously, our whole community
suffers if clubs cannot afford to have
all the activities and programs that
they would like. So, in the interest of
this concern about funding clubs
more money, let me state that the
Student Government Association
has made a firm commitment to
negotiating with the Business Office
for extra funds for this Spring Term.
At the same time, I want to strongly
encourage all the clubs and organiza
tions on campus to not just use their
funds, but to demonstrate a respon
sible and constructive spending of
their funds for worthy and justified
events and activities that truly benefit
the entire community. If we
demonstrate to the Business Office
that the extra funds are necessary
and justified, our chances will be
greater for receiving more money.
D)Town Meeting.
Lastly, I wanted to remind
everyone of the 'Town Meeting"
that will be held in the Belk Main
Lounge on Tuesday, Nov. 5 from
6:00-7:00 p.m. Our own President
Perkinson will be the guest speaker.
He will give a short opening state
ment concerning the "State of the
college" and will then "field" any
questions or concerns you might
have about any areas of St. Andrews.
All are welcome and encouraged to
attend!
I hope this "update" has been
helpful to you. if you have any com
ments or questions. I'd be glad to
hear them.

Commitment Builds
College Christian Union
By Michael Paige
As one seeks harmony in the
contribution of service, a pro
vidence of achievement resides
with the College Christian
Union, or C.C.U. Within this
organization, there is a task to
be fulfilled by those who feel
the need to grow into the
responsibility of uplifting the
hunum race. Motivation gives
the C.C.U. a chance to serve in
our college community and also
to reach into the ne^ of the
Laurinburg neighborhoods.
C.C.U. even works with the In
ternational programs that
benefit the world.
What are the objectives? The
main goals are in providing an
atmosphere that teaches com
mitment and care for those
around us. The programs are
formed to spread love
throughout the world and to
help us walk within this world
Witn a sense of awareness of the
needs and wants that effect our
people, which once is recogniz
ed, can be met. C.C.U. is a
training that leads one into
greater training with all the or
ganizations that cooperate with
the people of the world. C.C.U.
is the teaching and building of
love. And as according to the
great Martin Luther King,
“Love is the only force capable
of transforming an enemy into
a friend.” Our real strength lies
in our ability to transform sor
row into joy.
C.C.U. is involved with many
organizations, such as. Crop
Walk, Oxfam America, and
many other hunger programs.
Global issues are brought upon
our attention by sponsoring
symposiums which deal wift
problems in Central America
and other places where strife
needs mending through care
and understanding.
Within the C.C.U. there are
many ways to serve and all the
programs harmonize within the
structure of committees. Tliey
are, the Worship committ^.
The RLC And You
As a sub-committee of the
Student Senate, the Residential
Life Committee is primarily an
organization of six people, who
soUcit opinions from students,
and work to improve residen
tial affairs.
Thus far this year, th RLC
has had the breakfast time
changed in order to facilitate
students with 8:00 a.m. classes
better. Other areas of concern
which are presently being in
vestigated are housekeeping
and maintenance of the dorms
and problems with checking out
P. E. equipment.
The largest area of concern,
however, is the cut back in
library hours. There is a six
hour decrease in the DeTamble
Library operating hours in
comparison to the 1984-85
school year. Because there
has been such a Irge amount of
negative feedback, the RLC
was prompted to discuss the
cutback with the Librarians.
Last year a study was con
ducted by the RLC. Of 22
schools investigated, only
Davidson College had longer
library hours than Wake Forest
University, Duke University,
and Guilford College. Our
library operated 84 hours dur
ing a regular school week, open
for at least some amount of
time every day. Although our
library hours did exceed
most of those in other private
colleges and universities of ap-

proximately the same size,
students pushed for longer
hours. So how is it that this year
our library operates only 78
hours oer week?
Well, consider this: An
average of 35-37 percent of the
college students use their
school library on a regular
basis. At St. Andrews, only 9-15
percent use the library. So,
with such a small percentage of
the student body using the
library, it is more feasible on
cost- benefit basis, to cut back
the hours. Two of the
librarians, Elaine Franz and
Elizabeth Holmes, have also
expressed the importance of
having a trained librarian
there at all times. Volunteers
(Work Study Students) are a
great help, yet much of the
Ubraiy responsibilties involve
specific knowledge and skills
for efficient services. At the
same time, the librarians have
other responsibilities outside of
DeTamble, such as families.
Elaine and Elizabeth are
both more than willing to help
students in any way they can.
They have suggested a 24 hour
study room on the residential
side of the campus, which we
are currently investigating.
The library installed a new
security system this summer to
better protect the materials
from being “removed from
their noihe.” New computers
will be installed soon also.
With a library that ac
comodates so many of our
needs, and that is rapidly ex
panding, why not use it?
