Funds Raised
Windows On The World. . .
Musings from Bob Martin
for Gathering Place
June Milby, director
Communications
A generous contribution from Sl
Andrews trustee Mrs. Thomas (Dibba)
John of Laurinburg and her family has
assured that 25 percent of the funds for the
student gathering place are in hand. Presi
dent A.P. Perkinson Jr. announced today.
“When you first talked with me
about serving as a trustee of St. Andrews
you expressed concern about providing a
gathering place for students on the campus.
It gives me a lot of pleasure to send you the
enclosed check to be used on that project in
Belk Center. The location, I think, is the
right place,” Mrs. John said in sending the
gift.
“The gift is sent by Helen J. Liv
ingston (Mrs. John’s daughter), Tom John
Jr. (her son) and me to express our deep
appreciation for St. Andrews and our en
thusiastic interest in the project,” Mrs. John
said.
Perkinson expressed gratitude for
the gift on behalf of the college. “The
gathering place will mean so much to the
students of St. Andrews,” Perkinson said.
“It will assure that students have a place to
meet and socialize that is in the center of
student activity.”
Efforts are underway to raise the
rest of the funds needed for the project,
Perkinson said. “We hope to be able to
comlete the fund raising and have the gath
ering place fully operational by the earliest
possible date.”
In order to get the gathering place
operational the bookstore will be moved to
another location in Belk Center. “We are
working with consultants from the Marriott
Corporation to assure that we will make the
most efficient use of our resources and will
have the best gathering place possible for
our students,” Perkinson said.
The student senate volunteered to
help the physical plant move the bookstore
to its new location. The physical plant
expressed its gratitude for the gesture of
goodwill shown by the senate.
NCSL Attends Meeting
by Bobby C. Simpson
The St. Andrews Presbyterian
College North Carolina Student Legisla
ture went to UNC-Greensboro this past
weekend for their monthly Interim Council
meeting.
The “IC” was held at the Elliot
University Center in downtown Greens
boro. The topics of resolutions dealt with
a wide range of issues from the implem
entation of a North Carolina Drum and
Bugle Core to such important issues as
Public Assistance reforms and amend
ments to the Safe Roads Act of North Caro
lina.
The St. Andrews delegation
proposed a bill dealing with the implemen
tation of a National Catastrophic Illness
Insurance Program. The actual debate on
this issue shall be held in January. Hope
fully this article of legislation will be
passed in January and sent to Govenor
Martin so that he give the bill to the actual
legislatures of the Stale. This would mark
the first time that the SL Andrews delega
tion to the North Carolina Student
Legislature had legislation presented be
fore the actual Senate of the Stale, a true
reward for all of the hard work that went
into developing the bill.
This is the second Interim Coun
cil meeting that the St. Andrews delegation
has attended, the first being the I.C. at
UNC-Chapel Hill in which the St.
Andrews delegation, whose president is
Bobby Simpson, had proportionally the
largest delegation attending. The St.
Andrews delegation had ten members,
only to be surpassed by UNC-Wilmington
with seventeen attending.
The North Carolina Student
Legislature of St. Andrews is actively
implementing into its organizational
boundaries a Campus Awareness Council.
This group of individuals is responsible for
trying to make aware to the school and to
the Senate some of the concerns and prob
lems of the student body about campus
issues. In doing this, the NCSL is actively
trying to create a vehicle for concerns of
the campus so that the Senate and other
officials of the school will not be inun-

There have been some exciting
and meaningful things happening!
Congratulations to the “Bejing
Bound” group: Rob Collins, Ruth Eckels,
Kim Fayet, Judy Folmar, Mark Gilbert,
Karl Hick, Halina Hollocher, Clark Nall,
and Gwen Newton. Ann Leist-White is a
participant as well, and Philip Leist-White
will be the St. Android staffperson for that
wonderful venture. Joining them will be
one student from Warren Wilson College
and three from Guilford. I’m excited to be
able to tag along with them and spend
several days in Bejing. After that, I will be
going on to Japan and Korea to further our
exchange agreements and hopefully de
velop more. Wish me luck!
The Garage Sale for our friend in
South Africa went well on Saturday, Nov.
14. Charlene Carpenter coordinated the
efforts, but several dorm folk worked aw
fully hard to pull it all off and the job was
well done! The sale gathered in $251 to be
added to $ 150 donated from three individu
als and a $219 donation from the CCU. Zed
Somona, a Black Methodist minister, is di
rector of an emergency food and shelter
center in Port Elizabeth. The $620 will
arrive in time to assist him in rising emer
gencies throughout the Christmas season.
Thanks to everyone who donated clothes,
etc. and to each person who gave their
Saturday to that worthy effort!
Best wishes to all the students
off to Greece, Switzerland, and Vene
zuela for Winter Term courses with
Professors Prust, Woodson, Bringle, and
Torres. A special Bon Voyage to Jim
Terrell, who, after going to Greece, will be
spending Spring Term at the University of
Stirling.
Sharon Slivka will be reluming
from Japan for Winter Term. Her letters
have been marvelous and she has had a
wonderful experience and will have good
stories to share.
Tanya Olson and Leah Cook,
’87 Brunnenburgers, are staying over
Christmas and doing GIS’s in Ireland. John
Brown is slaying in Japan for Winter
Term, doing an internship in Tokyo.
The Brunnenburg term ended on
Nov. 17, and the famous “thirteen” have
fanned out across Europe. Most will be
headed home on Dec. 4, so be fore
warned! Ann Woodson and Joel William
son have secured an apartment in Venice
for the time prior to joining Prust & Co. in
early January.
Since this is the last issue before
the end of the term, I want to say a special
thanks on behalf of all of us who have had
international experiences through the
encouragement and commiunenl of Presi
dent Perkinson. The international pro
grams have grown and extended their
reach, opening window after window onto
a broader understanding of the world,
empowered by his belief in the importance
of such experiences. Thank you, Bun, for
helping so many of us become more
humane global citizens. We salute you for
your vision!
