Oct. 30, 1991 The Lance • St. Andrews Presbyterian College Page 3 Campus & City CATALYST A Fresh Perspective , Nikki G. Holloway College really is a different world. This past summer, I couldn’t wait to start collcge-fmally I’d have my freedom. No parents, no curfews. Nothing. And if anyone mentioned homesickness, I would laugh in their faces. For a while I thought I’d never get homesick, but one month later, I miss my family. I can’t wait for Thanksgiving Break. I didn’t go home for Fall Break, so it will have been two whole months before I see my room again. Speaking of which, I technically don’t have a room. My parents gave it to my brother, but he assures me that I can have it the minute 1 return. One thing about going home: I feel like I might feel like I’m a visitor-you catch that.* I am, after all, going to a place where I no longer live. Living on campus is a lesson in independence. Not being able to fully support myself, my parents send me an allowance once a month and I get a monthly check from my workstudy job. With this alloted amount I must budget carefully for Domino’s, Taco^ Bell and Harris Teeter, then there’s the 200 club T-shirts I must buy monthly, laundry quarters, bookstore funds andtmergency cash for...well emergencies. Like running out of hairspray or God forbid, if your backpack should brei. At any rate, what I’m trying to say is that you need a lot of ready cash to live comfortably on campus. So learning how to spend money responsi^y is alife long asset that should definitely be mastered in college. Sometimes, you’d think going to bed at 3 every night would be great. Play your music as loud as you like — sleep in the next morning and skip cla,ss. I have matured some in these past weeks. Like, I know if 1 have to get up at 7 o’clock that it would be slightiy unintelligent of me to stay up until four. I try to get in bed at a decent time, I tr\' to eat breakfast every morning, and I don’t take candy from strangers. I think my parents would be proud of some of the adult choices I’ve made sincc coming here.

Professor Carl Bennett Publishes Novel S.A. Communications Contributing Carl Bennett, distinguished professor of English emeritus at St. Andrews College in Laurinburg, recendy had a book published. Carl Bntnett The book, cntided “Joseph Conrad,” was published by ITie Continuum Publishing Co. in the Fredrick Ungar series on prominentnovclists. Bennctthas written five articles on famous authors in volumes of the Ency clopedia of World Literature in the 20th Century, also published by Continuum. The Humanities and Fine Arts Division of St. Andrews will hold a reception for Dr. Bennett Wednesday at 4 .m. in the lobby of the Vardell Build ing. The public is invited to attend. The core of Bennett’s book comes from his doctoral dis sertation. Bennett says he has always been fascinated by Conrad, and identifies with Conrad’s struggle with “the ethical dimension of human existence.” “Conrad was notable for dealing with people that had decisions to make, people fac ing a dilemma,” Bennett said. I'he book is designed to help illuminate the complex work of Conrad for those reading his works for the first time, as well as for readers who may want more insight into his writing. Bennett hypothesizes that there are three t%'pes of people differentiated bv their levels of moral awareness. He illustrated these levels of awareness with Conrad’s characters. “I have tried to show an es sential connection between the level of awareness experienced by Conrad’s people and their respeaive views of right and wrong, of truth and reality, of human freedom and responsi bility,” Bennettstatcs in thecon- cludiing chapter of his book. “I hope that I have suc ceeded in clarifying the na ture of Conrad’s vision of the world and man’s place in it,” Bennett states. Bennett came to St. Andrews in 1959, helping to build the coUege’s core cur riculum before the school opened in 1961. He has been retired for rwo years, but con tinues to teach cla.ssas on a part-time basis. Bennett re ceived his bachelor’s and his masters degrees and his doc torate from Hmor)' University. (topics of the book are avai 1 - able at the St. Andrews book store and have been distributed in college and university librar ies throughout the countr\’.
