That involves seeing it in re

it," Smith says. His art is
abstract and cannot be fully
appreciated with a quick
glance. To fully appreciate
the beauty and complex sim

at them the more you will see.
Smith said that he was in
trigued with the idea of the
surface of a table in relation
to the surface of a canvas.
Most of his subjects are still
lifes sitting on a table. He
says, "I like to paint things
around me that I've lived
with and have gotten to
know. That helps me to
paint."

Recent concern over stu
dent safety has led to Juri
Kuris', Director of the St.
Andrews Physical Plant, and
Campus Safety's suggestion
tor speed bumps on Magno
lia Lane. The suggestion
came about due to the num
ber of students that travel the
road by foot, or wheelchair,
and the number of cars that
constantly speed down Mag
nolia Lane. Kuris' sugges
tions include: two or three
low speed bumps; and "u-
shaped" sidewalks around
the speed bumps, for adap
tive students.
According to Dean Greer,
the administration liked the
idea of speed bumps because
they would prevent the pos
sibility of accidents for pe
destrians and vehicles. She
stressed the necessity for
speed bumps because of the
number of high school stu
dents from Laurinburg that
use the road as a "drag strip,"
and for the general welfare of
the student body, especially
adaptive students. Greer
also stressed that this is sim
ply a proposal. She stated
that nothing is official, and
the administration wel
comes other I options and al
temate suggestions.
On February 8 th, the Stu
dent Senate decided that the
concept of having speed
bumps would be inappropri
ate and unnecessary. They
proposed, instead of speed
bumps, that an asphalt bike
path parallel to the street be
constructed. They also pro
posed that the pot-holes be
filled before any new con
struction gets underway.
According to the Senate, a
bike path seems more appro
priate to the students be
cause this would get pedes
trians, bikers, and wheelies
off the road. Further discus
sion of the issue will occur
after cost estimates are made,
and all other factors consid
ered.
