On Campus In Pursuit of Perfection ^Student Association Report by Julie Norem The Gathering Place is on the way. Work will be started soon, and some money has been raised by the students to help. According to Student Association Vice President David Perkinson, the $2000 raised will probably be used to pur chase a sound system. TTie dorms have donated $1000 through the 100% For St. Andrews Campaign, and President A.P. Perkinson has matched that for a total of $2000. Student arjwork might be bought by the Student Association at the end of this year. The Budget & Spccial Projects Committee, chWed by John Newman, is working on a proposal that the S A buy student artwork to help decorate the Association offices and conference room. The idea is to promote the student body and help them out in return. Also the Budget & Special Proj ects Committee is working on a proposal to raise the Student Activity Fee. This fee is included in the tuition. It pays for the budget, the Lance and the Lamp and Shield. It has been many years since it was raised, and now to accomodate rising Education Update Brian Rodgers Why can’t Johnny read ? There are likely to be fifty reasons, and none have to do with decoding skills. A teacher deals with much more than a child’s ability to read and write. Emotions, attitudes, and dreams arc all dealt with in the classroom. A teacher may show a child affection or interest that he may not experience any where else. Many roles are played by the teacher, all of them cruci^ to each individual student. If a child has nothing to feel good about, then ultimately, that person is headed for failure. If a teacher can give that child a reason to hope or dream, than the student is given a chance to succeed. Johnny can’t read, a lot of times, it is because he has no desire or interest to. Children must want to read before you can even begin word recogni- tion,etc. If you can show children that you believe in them, then they might start feeling like they are worth something. Then they can try to understand the importance of reading, math, etc. In summary, teaching involves much more than lesson plans and grading papers, it involves caring about others. P.S. Notes - American Education Week is coming in November. N.T.E REG ISTRATION IS DUE SOON! National Average salary for beginning teachers was $22,500 in 1984, and the average teacher put in fifty hours a week. prices, the Budget & Spccial Projects Committee wants to raise it. On the Commuter Student issue. Commuter Student Senate Representative Jack Rushing has resigned and Maurice Holland and Amy Hemmens have been been appointed as temporary representa tives until elections can b* held. The Budget has been approved for this academic year. In reference to above, if the Student Activity Fee was raised then more money could be available to the clubs and organizations, and therefore more things could be done. Upcoming is the Presidential Celebration. Each dorm was asked to contribute $40-50 to help. This celebraUon is being sponsored by the Student Associa tion. The Association wants to show its appreciation to President A.P. Perkinson, who will be leaving as of December 31, 1987. Remember, the Senate is for YOU, the student of St. Andrews.

Donald Edwards spoke at St. Andrews Presbyterian College’s Pate Hall on Wed nesday, Oct. 28, at 8 p.m. Edwards has operated a spe cialty advertising firm, which he founded, for the past 25 years. Headquartered in Stamford, Conn., the firm is sU-ategically located in the center of Fortune 500 corpo rate headquarter offices, growing small businesses, and the center of the New York City advertising industry. Phi Beta Lambda, the St. An drews business club hosted the Edwards visit. Jeff Callahan, a junior from Shadyside, Md., and club president, said “we were very fortunate to be able to arrange these meetings with Mr. Edwards. “He was in town to visit his son Chris (a freshman at St. Andrews) and has agreed to review the marketing plans our business majors have developed as part of a community outreach program. Later he addressed an open meeting of the club to which members of the community were in vited to attend.” The community outreach pro gram has been developed by members of the business/economics department to Sec Edwards, page 12 We really do try to be perfect. Sometimes, however, we fall a bit short. Now that we have had the time to stop and catch our breath we can try to correct the mistakes diat have popped up in the first three issues of The Lance. We know that there is no Laura Biagioli on the Coots Volleyball team. You know there is no Laura Biagioli on the Coots Volleyball team. Unfortunately, The Laurinburg Exchange doesn’t know there is no Laura Biagioli on the Lady Knights. Apologies to Loma. Denise Peck and Darren Hamil ton were a bit miffed that they did not receive bylines for the stories they had written in the course of their duties as communications assistant work-sUidy stu dents in the office of communications and marketing. Sorry Denise and Darren. We will try to do better. After last week’s paper had been delivered to the printer we realized that we had made a major omission in the story on “Student Rights”. Not only did we leave a major part of the story lying on the floor of the Lance office, we neglected to credit Craig Johnson with co-authorship. Hope fully, at some point, we can run the story again, in its entirety. In the meantime, we wish to credit Craig along with Elisabeth Ross, who waited patiently until we got around to running the story. Sorry Craig, and Elisabeth. Chris Wood thanked us for omitting his name from the “Deadly Game Story” last time. Sorry Chris. These corrections are only the ones we can think of while we are on deadline. We are sure there are many more. Please help keep us in line by bringing any mistakes you see in print to our attention. Wachovia Plans April Opening For Campus Banic Bill Boston In looking for yet another loca tion for a branch office, Wachovia Bank has purchased land from St. Andrews to begin construction. The property, nearly an acre, is located near the north enu-ance to the school, at the intersection of Dogwood Mile and Lauchwood Drive. Construction has begun and, according to a representative of Wachovia, is scheduled to be completed by April. St. Andrews has received a profit of approximately $100 thousand from this transaction. Originally, when the college was first formed, investing in and selling property was to serve as a major source of income for S t. Andrews. “820 acres were put together by the founders and their feel- Debate Team Formed Bill Cox St. Andrews now has a debating team. Surprised? Organized this fall, it is working to get off to a good start So far there has been enough interest generated to make plans for several trips this term. The fwst trip is scheduled for the last weekend in October. Late in Septem ber Greg Eilick came down from Univer sity of Maryland in Baltimore to help get things started. Since then Brian Atchison has been instrumental in helping to get to gether the paperwork required for a new club. Although there has been a good response, it is necessary for more people to become involved in order for St. Andrews debate to reach its full potential. For those who debated in high school. Parliamentary Debate is not com ings were that this was not needed for a college of oiu' enrollment,” said collcge President A.P. Perkinson. Thus, the land would be systematically sold to businesses throughout Laurinburg until only what was considered necessary, about400 acres, was left. “The decision to develop that north 200 acres (off Lachwood Drive) is part of an overall contextual plan conceived when the land was first ob tained by the college,” Perkinson said. “It (the selling of land to Wachovia) is not an isolated thing. It’s part of an overall pat tern.” In its long-term plans, the school also hopes to sell the property lying be tween Dogwood Mile and U.S. 15-401 and the remainder of the land along Lauchwood Drive. parable with the old “on-topic” debating regiment. Parliamentary debate is, at times, more easily compared to a drunken argument, than an actual organized event. All of the old standard research that used to involve hours of library time is now unnec essary for this type of debate. All it takes to participate is a competent speaking voice, a general knowledge of current events, and the ability to think logically and quickly. If you are interested in getting involveft 'n an intellectually stimulating competition or if you just plain like to argue, then make plans to attend the next meeting. Unless otherwise announced, all meetings will be held in the Belk Lounge at 9:30 every Sunday evening. Whereelse can you find the opportunity to travel all over the east coast and rub shoulders with the Ivy League?
