SGA Report
By Abe VanWingerden
Senate President
The Student Senate has been hard
at work over the past few weeks at
tempting
to resolve each challenge we face as a
Student Body. Since we have not had
a major, overriding issue hung over
our heads, we have been able to begin
some projects that will hopefully help
all of us in the long-run.
During the past two weeks, the
Senate has found out that we as a
college are not a self-sufficient power
producer, which means that we pay
an electric bill just like every other
citizen in this area. Our bill ranges in
the 150,000 to 200,000 dollar mark
each year. Not being ones to just hear
a problem and complain, the Senate,
through its environmental commit
tee, has decided to embark upon a
conservation campaign to help re
duce this astounding power bill.
Our plan is not to inconvenience
you as an individual, but rather make
you a more conscious person. This
plan involves doing the little things
like turning off your lights, stereos,
and televisions when you leave your
room in the morning. Also, when you
go to bed, it would be wise to shut off
the power buttons on your stereos, not
just turn them down. These little sug
gestions might not seem like much,
but if everyone adheres to them, we
will be able to save a large amount on
the power bill. Although we as stu
dents might not see that money, it will
be good practice for us when the bill
starts coming to us there in the “real
world.”
Since the bottom line is dollars,
we as a Senate will post the figures of
the electric bill and compare them to
previous years to show that we can
make a difference. This effort is not a
short-term project, but rather a long
term initiative and mindset
In conclusion, the Student Senate
meets on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. in the
SGA conference room and is open to
the entire St. Andrews community. I
also want to stress that if you have
any concerns or ideas which you think
are feasable, talk to myself or your
elected Senators from your dorm.
wish to share their experiences.
The forum will be sponsored by
the World Culture Society And will
be held Nov. 7 in Pate Main Lounge
at 7 p.m. According to Saikat Chatter-
jee, the social chair of World Culture
Society, “The Hong Kong Forum will
be a real exciting way to elarn about
one of the world’s most important
future issues and about the conse
quences involved for the country of
Hong Kong and how their citizens
feel about it.”
Dracula: The Musical? - The cast and crew received many praises

"Dracula" Proves
Successful
Dracula: the Musical? is a won
derfully entertaining production that
seems to escape the stereotypical
vampire story.
The evening begins with a number
of sanitarium inmates mixing with
the audience. At this point it is fairly
obvious that one should be more
prepared for a burlesque then a horror
show. While traditional symbols such
as the vampire repelling garlic and
fang marks on the neck of victims
remain in the story line, the survivors
are able to resort to more sanitary
means of ridding the neighborhood of
Count Dracula than driving a wooden
stake through his heart.
As each character is strongly and
consistently played, they are able to
create a successful satire.
While the production of the play is
not exactly powerful, several aspects
of the musical are, such as the voices
of the characters, especially that of
“Boris Renfield”, who is as inmate at
the sanitarium/home.
The musical, in its entirety, never
ceases to be humorous and more
importandy entertaining. Witty and
satirical lines keep the audience cap
tivated throughout the show.
The Highland Players should be
congratulated on their well received
performance.
