CCU Learns Achievement Possible Through Union
The College Christian Union (CCU)
sponsors ideas and activities which
promote fellowship, education and
enlightenment, service, and worship.
Everyone in the St. Andrews com
munity has a place in the CCU. Our
ideas and activities in this union will
have an impact in the communities
of St. Andrews, Laurinburg and
Scotland County, the United States,
and the world.
What kind of impact is possible
when we are in union? Last year the
CCU sponsored two bloodmobiles
with the Red Cross, and one of our
members taught CPR classes. Unfor
tunate and needy children of the area
were treated to a Christmas party in
December and an Easter Egg Hunt
and party in April. CCU organizes the
CROP WALK. St. Andrews raised
$300 in the walk last year.

There's a new club in town and
SACOD is its name. The St. Andrews
Caucus OnDisabilities is seeking your

The caucus actively voices con
cerns in informal atmospheres with
emphasis on building support
groups. The caucus will also deal
with post-graduate opportunities for

or in the future. Independent
decision-making seminars, group
think sessions and workshops are
just a few things being planned.

BSU
The Black Student Union has been
noted in the past years as one of the
most active clubs on campus, both
socially and in the community. This
year plans to be no exception. The
club plans to concentrate on pro
moting unity between the entire St.
Andrews community. And to help
with the interaction of students,
many activities have been planned
for the school year. As each activity
draws near it will be publicized, and
we encourage the participation of all
the students and club members. If
you are interested in joining BSU or

helped to maintain the Laurinburg
area food pantry. Two symposiums
educated us about the crisis in South
Africa and about the humanity of
homosexuals. Not only were we
educated, but we were enlightened
as to what we could do to improve
other people's unfortunate situations.
Our last project of the year was a
spring "MDA Day," when a dunking
booth complete with faculty and stu
dent government members was the
main attraction. The handicapped
members of St. Andrews also show
ed us their stuff when they spon
sored a "wheelchair basketball
game" on the same day.
How can the College Christian
Union do so much? Besides being in
union, we are also in committees.

group meetings. At these, passages
from the Bible are discussed and
prayer requests and praises are
made. Every other Thursday night
everyone gets together for a large

the beach. The main purpose of

NCSL
The North Carolina Student
Legislature (NCSL) is a fifty year old
organization which enables college
students from all over the state to
take part in a legislative body.
Students from over thirty different
schools write bills and develop
resolutions which are debated and
voted on once each month at state
wide meetings. These meetings are
held at various schools, so we will
travel to the college or university and
stay for the weekend. In September
we went to UNC Chapel Hill and in
October we will go to NC State in
Raleigh. Not only are bills and resolu
tions discussed, but on Friday and
Saturday nights all members are free
to explore the city and campus life of
the host school.
Everyone is welcome to join.
Anyone who is interested in the
issues today will have a good time,
and the chance to enjoy a weekend
at a different school. Look for an
nouncements. of meetings in your
mailbox and on posters. We will hold
an organizational meeting in October,
so come and listen to what NCSL is
all about.
Al Ripley is the delegation
chairperson.
The Model United
Nations Club
The Model United Nations Club on
campus is a group open to all
students. The club focuses on inter
national awareness.
Every year eight to ten of the
M.U.N. members are selected to go
to New York for a week in the spring
to participate in a national level
simulation of the United Nations.
Every college involved in this simula
tion is given a country of their choice
to represent. In preparation, the St.
Andrews delegation researches the
country they are to represent, the
issues that the U.N. will address, and
parliamentary procedures.
On campus, the M.U.N. club spon
sors debates and forums relating to
international issues, and plans to take
advantage of all the interesting inter
national figures that visit St. An
drews every year.

Club Advocates Arms Control
Peace on Earth. This is the St. An
drews club affiliated with national
"United Campuses to Prevent
Nuclear War," UCAM. A world
without nuclear weapons is the
club's ultimate goal. In the mean
time, we work to keep the issue of
nuclear disarmament in the forefront
of the St. Andrews consciousness.
We sponsor educational seminars,
guide students in nuclear issues
research, and advocate sensible arms
control positions.
Last spring, the club's efforts
focused on the April 17 "University
Lobby to End the Arms Race." Six
teen St. Andrews students joined
nearly one thousand students from
across the country in Washington,
D.C. for a march, rally, and meetings
with Congresspeople. Carrying a
banner and chanting slogans, we
marched down Pennsylvania Avenue
to the Capitol. With a picture of the
beautiful Lake Ansley Moore sunset,
flowers and peace signs, and the
slogan "Strength Through Peace,"
the St. Andrews banner was the
most colorful of the march. On
Capitol Hill, they encouraged
representatives and Senators to vote
for a comprehensive test ban (the
House did this summer), and to turn
down funding for first-strike missiles
like the MX and for the offensive
Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star
Wars.
The group will return to
Washington next spring to uphold
St. Andrews' activist reputation. All
are welcome. For more information,
contact Angela Baker, ext. 433.
