Eddie and I are look
ing forward to a packed
year. It began at the
Board of Trustees meet
ings on April 23rd and
24th. These meetings
were basically informa
tion gathering sessions
for the Board. After the
meeting, Eddie and I
were invigorated and
began to set up some
goals for next year.
Next year 1992-1993,
is the year of the Envi
ronment. St. Andrews is
developing an environ
mental studies program
with the possibility of a
major and a minor. The
recently instituted En
ergy Conservation pro
gram will strengthen this
common theme. The key
word for next year is to
conserve! Shut off
lights, TV, radio and
other appliances when
you leave the room! We
also have a logo devel
oped by a team of stu
dents headed by Jenni
fer Thompson for the
year of the environment.
You'll see these logo's
all over the campus next
year!
A large fresh class will
be pouring into St. An
drews for 1992-1993.
This class is estimated
to be between 240-260
Talk, Talk, Talk
The Great Debate went
on and on and on until
3:45 AM Sunday morn
ing, breaking the record
that Dublin University
had held for twelve
years. In the final count,
the debaters spoke for
518 hours and 45 min
utes. Congratulations!
Get off! And way to go
Debaters!
new students. The
freshpeople will be
coming one week early
fororientation. They are
coming early to promote
a feeling of community
among the new students.
The students will imme
diately be integrated into
the St. Andrews com
munity. The officers of
Student Government
will also come back
early to help with orien
tation.
The main goal for next
year is to get the whole
student body involved
in student affairs. We are
also trying to unite the
St. Andrews community
by joining Dorm forces.
Eddie and I wish for
everyone to have a good
summer. We look for
ward to seeing you next
year. For all the gradu
ating seniors, we sadly
say good-bye and send
our best wishes for a
bright future. We look
forward to your return
as alumni over Ganza
weekend or any other
party!
Senior Campaign
Senior Campaign has
once again shown the
commitment of SA stu
dents. The original goal
was $7,500 with three
year pledges. The class
of '92, approximately
170 people strong have
committed more than
15,000 and decided to
fund a scholarship. Once
the base amount of
$10,000 has been raised,
SA will begin to award
scholarships to juniors/
seniors to help them de
fray rising college costs
and stay at St. Andrews.
The award amount will
be 5% of the endow
ment. Congratulations
and thank you to the
class of 1992.
Senior people, right
about now if you are
checking your mail box
regularly there are a mil
lion memos from every
office on campus trying
to remind you of the
twenty-thousand things
a senior must do before
graduating. Here (I
hope) is a helpful check
list:
Thursday (yesterday)
was the return date for
senior superlatives.
Maybe Lennie will ac
cept the form if you have
taken the time to fill out
the survey.

OutFront and
...St. Andrews?
It could happen. Back
in late March, a colum
nist with the Charlotte
Observer, made a plea
to colleges everywhere.
Doug Robarchek writes
the OutFront Column in
the Entertainment sec
tion of the Observer. He
started on March 9th,
bargaining for a honor
ary degree from any ac
credited college. On the
table was "almost 78
bucks, a Chicago transit
Authority token, a bottle
of Andre's Cold Duck
and a lamp shaped like a
woman in a hoop skirt."
What a deal! In the next
day's paper the Ole'
OutFrontGuy upped the
ante. "We'll donate
$87.52 and an eight-
pack of returnable Coke
bottles to any accred
ited college that comes
through." Evidently
there has been a little
tension in the OutFront
family. Robarchek's fi
nal plea is this; "So send
us that degree, some
body. You'll be helping
Next Week is the
week to make sure your
account is cleared with
the Business Office.
This is the only way to
get your cap and gown.
Caps and Gowns will be
available from Debbie
Chavis (next door to the
cashier) at the following
times:

And you'll be making
more than 88 bucks."
Now, why am I men
tioning this at such a late
date? St. Andrews can
not help Doug
Robarchek this year but
there is next year. Every
year three, sometimes
four people are awarded
honorary degrees. This
is a chance for students
to get involved, rally
behind a fun and worth
while cause. Considerit
please Class of 1993, and
read the OutFront col
umn .You may agree, he
sounds a lot like we used
to*.

Make sure you have
paid all your parking
fines, library fines, lab
fines and "resolve any
outstanding balance on
your student account."
It doesn't get much sim
pler, (unless some
wealthy relative shows
up).
Paula has also sent a
memo out asking seniors
to set up a time to check
out. Dorms close for se
niors at 10 p.m. on May
9th, 1992.
These may seem like
more endless details but
think of it this way, th£
last of thp ^ndless iSi
tails! Just a few more
days (8), so congratula
tions and good luck!
