Both have given a considerable amount of support to their community and feel they have received an invalu able experience at St. Andrews. Although Bill and Larry have achieved a great ded, they feel that money is by no means a measure of success. Larry Taylor, a Senior Vice President, does not have an advanced degree, yet has a prpminent, well respected jx)sitibn. Bill has a degree in law but still feels the necessity to share with others, to give something back to soci- ety.

There is a tremen dous amount to leam from them, so stick around and get to know them! They are really hi larious! Campus Compact Paul Sink Guest Writer Campus Compact is a national organization under consideration for adoption by the St. Andrews community. Campus Compact was developed in 1985 from a meeting of higher edu cation presidents who wanted to foster greater public and community service in college stu dents. With over 250 member institutions, member presidents are devoted to developing an increased respect for the responsibilities placed on students in a democratic society. Par ticipation in community service can ultimately do more than any academic seminar to make social responsibility an integral part of students' lives. Campus Compact offers many services to mem ber institutions such as connections with over seas Peace Corps Intern ships and Student Hu manitarian Awards. The latter con sists of a $ 1500 award to a student to fund a self-directed hu manitarian activity. Campus Compact's Part nership in Learning urges college students to become mentors to youth at-risk of not mak ing a successful transi tion to adulthood. A summer workshop is also available for fac ulty and administrators to leam how to better integrate community service and academics. One of the primary goals of Campus Compact in the St. Andrews Com munity will be to keep everyone informed of the community activities that are being planned by each club on campus. This will provide more involvement in closer in teraction among the clubs. A form was mailed to each club/or ganization on campus to determine the commu nity service projects in which students are al ready involved. If you are involved in a com munity service that is an individual effort and not part of a club on cam pus, please contact the CareerPlanning and Placement Center so that your involvement can be recorded. I Creative Ms. Wilson Janna Turner & Kristine Meehan There are many unique educational op portunities available to students at St. Andrews during winter term. This is evident in the classes taught here on campus such as "Witchcraft and Women" or "Math for the Terrified," and in the overseas trips to places ' like India and Switzer land. Another choice for I students is an intemship, I of which Jan Wilson ’ took advantage. Jan spent her month of Janu ary in Morganton, N.C. , in the Creative Therapy } Center of Western Caro- > lina Center. W.C.C. is a home to462people who are severely to pro foundly mentally re tarded. Their Creative Therapy Department, established in 1977 as the first independent program to incorporate art in mentally retarded people. They have gained national recog nition for their work. The center involves the residents in "creative therapy" which includes art, music, dance and movement, drama, and creative writing, to a lim ited degree. The goals of these activities are to fine-tune motor co-or- dination, extend atten tion span, and serve as social and enjoyable ac tivities. Therapists stress enjoyment and self-ex pression and treat the whole person. Jan says, "Through creative therapy you work with a person as a whole rather than focusing on a be havior and that is where the great positive changes are being made in this population." In the CT depart ment, there is a regis tered music therapist, a music/art therapist, and a pet/horticultural thera pist who works towards the goal of developing social skills. With these very talentedprofession- als Jan was mainly able to observe sessions in art therapy, but was also able to co-lead several activities. Working in groups sizing from one to six residents, Jan found this experience to be very enjoyable. continued on page 5 Government Funding for International Travellers by John Cohen Staff Writer On January 15, 1992, President Bush signed into law a bill written by Senator David Boren (D-Oklahoma) that would provide more funding for American col lege students and graduate students who wish to study abroad. The bill, entitled the "National Security Education Act of 1991", would award scholarships to college students selected as "Intemational Exchange Scholars," al lowing them to study in another country for one or two semesters, especially in countries that most colleges do not empha size in their foreign smdy programs. "Non affluent" and minonty students will also receive more grants for foreign study un der this new law. Boren considers the new law important if the United States is to remain competi tive with other countries and protect its narional security interests abroad. "It is certainly no cure-all, but it is a posi tive step which I think will ultimately contribute far more to our nation s security than a new bomber or battleship, he said.
