information.
The international' committee re
ported that the packages have been
mailed.
The environmental committee said
that the moving of the bin may be
possible. Plans are underway to send
a “cotton letter” to the Laurinburg
newspaper. A question was raised
concerning the cleaning out of the air
conditioners or condensation pans. It
was pointed out that cans are piling up
in the suite lounges, and they ask that
they be taken care of.
The residential committee reported
that the paint policy may be left up
only to the dorm councils.
The internal affairs committee
reported no new information.
The academic affairs committee
reported no new information.
The maintenance committee ex
plained that the Physical Plant tour
has been postponed until a later date.
Bill Cox, SGA president, spoke of
the education department accredida-
tion. The education department was
approved by the state board, but not
the national board. However, all
education majors will graduate with
accredidation (including first year
freshpeople) The school will appeal
and go through the accredidation
process again. Cox also mentioned
that the 1990-91 Budget has been
approved.
Jay Bumgarner, student defense
council, reported that there have been
complaints concerning the Luau post
ers. He requested that there be a pos
sible change in the poster policy, and
asked that senate members discuss
with dorm councils. It is recom
mended that no posters be allowed
that may influence sexual harassment
or sexist views.
Senate members also ask that stu
dents write on the Wall and not on the
>ausewalk.
In regard to new business - more
secure doors are necessary on the
dorms: Concord’s front door needs
maintenance and Wilmington’s front
door and code door need maintenance.
Judicial Update
By Jeremy Tanner
Attorney General
Can you believe we have been
back at school for over a month now?! ?
During this time, the 1990-91 Judi
cial Committee has organized itself
and hopefully set the stage for a pro
ductive year. This year’s members
are Jeremy Tanner, Lewis
Hoggard,Hope Michael, Susan Yea-
man, Katherine Boten, Eddie Brown,
and Holton Siegling.
During the past month, we have
faced the task of coordinating the Ju
dicial Committee with the Dorm
(Residence hall) Councils, and ex
plaining their involvement in the St.
Andrew’s Judicial System. Relations
have been established with the dorms
as Judicial Committee members serv
ing as representatives/advisors to the
dorm council. Every case presented
by dorm council will be recorded by
a committee member, and placed in a
file with names omitted. This will
offer a comparison on how the differ
ent dorms handle their own cases. A
file has also been established for the
cases the committee handles that
involve Honor Code and college pol
icy violations. Both files are available
for inspection to anyone within the St.
Andrew’s community. Without us
ing the names of those involved, the
files provide an accurate assessment
of what is happening judicially on
campus.
The most pleasing aspect of the
past month is that cases have been
few and far between. The only case
we have had to deal with brought up
issues that should come to the fore
front during the next year. On the
second day of the school year, a Fresh
man was accused of lying to a secu
rity guard. After long deliberations,
the committee decided not to file for
mal charges because we felt a Fresh
man that early in the year was not
aware of the high integrity that St.
Andrew’s students are supposed to
hold regarding the Honor Code. This
individual was then referred to Dean
Greer. The big question is, how long
do you give a Freshman before he or
she should be aware of the Honor
Code and all it implies?
To further complicate matters, this
Freshman was an athlete. While this

ing the committee’s decision, we also
were aware that had this individual
been found guilty of lying, the indi
vidual would have been placed on
social probation for one year and
would not have been able to partici
pate in the sport. This could result in
the loss of an athletic scholarship.
The consequences seem severe, but it
emphasizes the importance of being
aware of the Honor Code and the
penalties for its violation.
The aftermath of this case turned
out to be very positive. I took the
initiative to speak before the basket
ball and baseball teams ( the teams
that have the most scholarships) and
inform them of school policies and
their repercussions. This was done to
express concerns they had and to
establish good communication be
tween athletes and the student gov
ernment. It was also done to let them
know that if they are not satisfied with
current rules regarding violations and
athletic scholarships, they have every
right to lobby for changes. It is very
important that everyone, and not just
athletes, know and understand the
rules and what can happen as result of
violations.
Careers in
Student Affairs
Many people attend college in
order to find a job, but some probably
never consider finding a job within
the college itself. October 21 -27 is the
1990 National Careers in Student
Affairs Week, a national program to
heighten awareness about college
student services as a career and pro
fessional option.
The Career Planning and Place
ment Center and the Student Life
Staff of St. Andrews are participating
in this national program for the first
time. Our theme is “Careers in Stu
dent Services: Consider the Possibili
ties.”
Highlights for the week will in
clude a panel discussion led by
members of the Student Life Staff on
Tuesday, Oct. 23 from 4 p.m. until
5:30 p.m. in the Belk Center Main
Lounge. Refreshments will be served.
Representatives from the Student
Life Office will also be available
during the week to give information
and answer questions about job op
portunities and job descriptions in
their areas. In order to make Student
Life Staff more visible on campus,
each of them will wear a button that
reads “Ask Me About My Career.”
Each Student Life person will
schedule two “coffee hours” during
the week to meet with students inter
ested in student affairs as a career
option. Sign up for these times in
Career Planning and Placement.
Other displays will include a bul
letin board in the LA Building outisde
the Career Planning and Placement
Center and a directory of information
in CPPC on graduate programs avail
able to students who are interested in
pursuing careers in this field.
Students who would like to further
explore student affairs careers may
apply for an internship in Student
Affairs. For more information, con
tact Betty Matheson in Career Plan
ning and Placement.
