Do you realize we only have
three weeks of classes left in
this semester? Your fall term is
almost gone! Oh, No! We have
SO much still to do.
There was a misprint in the

last issue of TT/eLance. The new hours for the P.E. Center are on
Sundays from 1 p.m. until 10 p.m.. Now diat the temperatures
have gone down, we hope you take advantage of these new hours
and get a warm workout!
We again would like to thank all of those who took the time
to fill out the Library Survey. There was a 50% campus response,
thanks to all the surveys completed in Orange Dorm. Students
felt that the resource capacity of the library to be their primary
need. Checking out materials and the computer center were also
very important to student needs. The majority of the students
wanted to see an extension of library hours on Sundays. Guess
what? It has happened for ^ring Term thanks to the full
cooperation of the library staff, Elaine Franz and the Student
Life Committee. Hours will also be extended during exam time.
Look for the new hours — they will be posted.
The Charity Duck Race on October 28 went over with huge
waves. Fun was had by all who attended. All proceeds went to
Scodand County Teen Pregnancy Center and Scotland County
Literacy Council. First place went to a Board of Trustees
member, Dibba John. A “quack” to all who purchased a duck or
donated money.
The Board of Trustees visited St. Andrews on the 24 and 25
of October. New Board members are Dr. Karen S. GuUedge,
Mrs. Susan Rader Poole, Rev. J. Shepherd Russell, Jr., Mr. R
Lawrence Taylor and Mr. John Robert Belk. (Three of which are
alumni of St. Andrews!) The meeting, for the most part, was an
information gathering time. The Board will return again in
February.
Our goals have now turned to conservation. Senate is work
ing on a campus campaign to reduce the electricity bills. When
you leave your room, turn off the lights, music and television set.
No one is there to enjoy them, so why leave them on? We all need
to do our part! Also, don’t forget to recycle. Blue pins are picked
up in BeJJc Qrcle every Wedn^ay morning. Also returning the
bins to yoiu- suites is veery important.
Again we would like to encourage your participation in St.
Andrews. If you have any concerns please address them to your
student leaders. Senate Meetings are held every Monday evening
at 9:30 p.m. and are open to the community.
St. Andrews hopes to take
advantage of a bill recendy
passed by the North Carolina
General Assembly which pro
vides for the development of
collegiate insignia license
plates.
Susan Geszko Patterson,
who champions the cause of
St. Andrews license plates, be
lieves it is an excellent way to
promote the school, also pro
viding a way for people to get
something in return for help
ing out the college. “However,”
Patterson adds, “the secret ben
efit to the college is the expo
sure and name recognition
garnered every time the car is
driven around the state or
across the country.”
The provisions of the bill
are as follows:
to the owner of any motor
vehicle, except diose vehicles
registered under the Interna
tional Registration Plan or to
commercial trucks.
2- An owner desiring a col
legiate plate mmt submit an
application (provided by the
Division of Motor Vehicles)
and pay a sum of $25.00 annu
ally in addition to the regular
motor vehicle registration fee.
3- Application for the plate
may be made at any time dur
ing the year. If the collegiate
insignia license plate is to re
place an existing current valid
plate, the coU^iate plate will
be issued with appropriate de
cals attached.
4- Ten dollars of the addi
tional registration fee will be
credited to the Personalized
Registration Fund. The rev
enue for this fiand will be trans-
of Trustees of the college.
5-The words ‘North Caro
lina’ will appear on the plate.
6- The coile^ate plate may
be combined with a personal
ized plate.
7- The division must re
ceive 300 applications for a
collegiate license plate for a
college or university before
such a plate may be developed.
St. Andrews requests the help
of the faculty, staff, students
and alumni in meeting this
quota.
Anyone desiring to register
a St. Andrews license plate may
contact the North Carolina
Division of Motor Vehicles
(north Carolina License Plate
agency in Laurinburg (1518
S. Main Street (919) 276-
2324). Any questions may be
directed to Summer Brock in
the Alumni office, ext. 5668.

Editor
Current dean of students
Cynthia Greer, whose resig
nation will become effective
Nov. 30, will be replaced by
Jonathan Franz.
Franz is currently associate
dean for academic develop
ment, and associate professor
of psychology on the St.
Andrews campus.
According to S. A. President
Thomas L. Reuschling, Franz
will not simply be an interim
replacement.
‘Jonathan Franz has agreed
to take the deanship, and he’s
willing to stay for at least 18
months. After that both he and
I will evaluate the position and
make a decision based on that
evaluation,” said Reuschling.
Reuschling said that he felt
that Franz was well-respected
as both a teacher and a person,
and that he felt Franz would
be able to make decisions with
fairness.
