Throughout the school year her

"The students create their own flag
and their own currency. They apply
for various jobs like a police officer,
judge, lawyer, janitor, and teacher.
They receive a salary, have their own
checkbook, savings, and are expected
to pay rent and utilities each week. It’s
real positive because we learn to work
Canalis explains that the whole
foundation of teaching was estab
lished by St. Andrews. "I found a way
to fit everything I learned into my
teaching." She adds, "O.E. Smith is
really a great role model for me, espe
cially the way he responds and inter
acts with thestudents."
From here Canalis will be inter
viewed at a regional competition Nov.
14 in Carthage. If she should win that
also, she would then joumey on to the
state competition.
"There are very few awards for
teachers. Knowing someone knows
what you do - it's incentive to keep
going."

The Bingham Light is another
unexplained phenomenon in between
Bennettsville and Dillon, SC. The
“light” is in a bog out in the middle of
nowhere. If you walk down the path,
the light will come toward you. Ac
cording to legend, one night there was
a train wreck down in the swamp and
the conductor’s head was severed.
The light is the conductor searching
up and down the tracks for his head.
Supposedly, the light is swamp gas,
however researchers are not definite.
Whatever it is, the light has been seen
by various St. Andrews students.
Students have recalled that the light
has started two fires. It would appear
from beyond the path and chase people
who would yell out names to it.

Advertisement for the botanist
position attracted "surprisingly quali
fied applicants for a June release,"
said Dr. Dennis McCracken, the divi
sion chair, and was filled by Dr. Frank
Watson. Dr. Torres' position is tem
porarily being covered by Dr. Nirmal
Jeyaraj.
Dr. Watson, originally from New
York, but not unfamiliar with the
North Carolina turf or the small col
lege atmosphere, is the new botanist
for the biology team. Previously teach
ing at Muhlenberg College in Allen
town, Pa ., Dr. Watson brings to St.
Andrews excellent field experience
and a strong laboratory background.
"He knows the language (as in Latin)
for field purposes, and can comple
ment the lab program," commented
Dr. Leon Applegate, the department
chair.
Dr. Nirmal Jeyaraj (Nemmie, as
she likes to be called), on the other
hand, is not tenure bound at St. An
drews, but rather a visiting professor
from India. Dr. Jeyaraj's exchange is
sponsored by the United Board for
Christian Higher Education in Asia,
which gives professors the opportu
nity to teach in new and different
environments. An exchange profes
sor was originally sought to cover for
Dr. Applegate this Spring as he heads
up the China expedition, but due to
the sudden loss of Dr. Torres, Dr.
Jeyaraj is filling his course load as
well.

Applegate. Dr. Jeyaraj plans to spend
her Winter Term working at a biotech
lab in North Carolina, probably in the
Research Triangle area.
Being new to the SA biology
department, one of the most unique
opportunities for both professors is
the extensive lab so familiar to "lab
rat regulars. For Dr. Watson, previ
ous facilities had not been so freely
shared; whereas in India "lab facili
ties are limited - you must work hard
to achieve the same." Like all profes
sors, they, too, rely heavily on student
feedback to meet student expecta
tions; students can make this transi
tion a smoother one simply by com-
municating.
Meanwhile, the search for a full
time geneticist to fill the gap will
hopefully begin by mid-November,
providing the administration assesses
the need. The need, however, is obvi
ous and straightforward: "genetics is
the basis of all biology," stressed Dr.
Applegate: filling the position is
"critical." The program can not exist
without a geneticist," insists Dr.
McCracken.
