Taken from their traditional conlai these passages blend together and dm By Laura Rose “Such Stuff as Dreams are Made On,” a compilation of scenes and pas sages from 23 Shakespearean plays, will appear in the St. Andrews auditorium November 5-7 at 8 p.m. and November 8 at 3 p.m. Those who are wary of commiting an evening to Shakespeare will want to be assured that this script is not a string of boring, incomprehensible words one might recall from a high school English class. Nor is it a parade of detached characters, each announcing his or her thoughts to the air above them. This unusual piece, compiled by Anne Sandoe- Thorp, explores themes in S hakespeare’s Dear Ann Landers, Alright, alright, I really want to know something! We always see Eddie and Kerry all decked out like they are impor tant or something, running around like crazy people and saying they have a meet ing here and a meeting there, but what are they really up to? Signed, Confused St. Android Dear Confused St. Android, I understand your concern, and I feel that you are not alone in your community. People everywhere often feel oblivious to their surroundings and are courious about what goes on behind the scene. Why don’t you take a Wednesday night (Yeah right, Jim’s!) and read the S .G. A. Update. If you see Eddie or Kerry completely overwhelmed or stressed out, please give them a pat on the back for me. And r The old Silk Route | Southcost Asiori Art Gallery I 113 W.

President & Kerry Nuti, S.G.A. Vice-President This year, the S.G.A. has adopted an action-oriented and results -driven atti tude which will make the year as produc tive as possible. Student Government leaders have been hard at work tackling the concems of the student body and will continue to do so to the best of our ability. If you have any suggestions please pass them on to us. We were able to meet with the Board of Trustees for their first annual meeting. In this meeting, some of the important issues challenging our college were con sidered, including the fmacial situation of the college, faculty and staff concems, and the importance of recruiting a large class for the upcoming year. The Board of Trustees are receptive individuals, who are extremely interested and concerned about the welfare of the students. After all, they realize that stu dents are what the college is all about. We definitely hope to continue these strong relations with the Board of Trustees. Their gracious support is a vital part of the livelihood of our school. One of the most important things that we can do as students to help the college is to assume a positive and active role in the recruitment of new students. To a prospective student, it really makes a tremendous difference to hear about St. Andrews through a current stu dent rather than from someone getting paid to do so. As a result, the Student Government will work closely with Peggy Floyd and her admissions staff to come up with some creative strategies in which students can assist in the process. Some ideas have already been gener ated, and you will be hearing about them soon. Get ready and please lend your support. The college needs your help. The Student Government has also focused its efforts on modifying the pro cedures of the budgetary process and the judicial system to make them both more effective and efficient. Ward Sokoloski, S.G.A. Treasurer, Chris Bachman, Attor ney General, and Kim Jenkinson, the Stu dent Defense Council, will continue to work on these matters. The Senate has been very busy with a variety of affairs and efforts. Budget concems were a prime focus for the first few weeks of the semester. The Senate had to disperse funding to clubs and orga nizations. The Senate is also collecting money for a Hurricane Andrew relief ef fort. All donations will be gready appre ciated. Another project was the sponsor ship of a Halloween party for the Scots for Youth Kids. Scots for Youth is a volun teer big brotherA>ig sister program in the Laurinburg community. Many students on campus are involved in this program and find it very rewarding and enjoyable. On a very important note, the Senate has formally addressed the growing con cern of students about the physical condi tion of the residence halls. After much dicussion a resolution was drafted, ex pressing our distress on the dilapidated condition of the halls. We cited such problems as regular malfunction of the heating and cooling systems, plumbing problems, and general cleanliness and appearance of the halls. Maintenance on most halls has been deferred for too long. This resolution was sent to the Administrative Council, mailed to the Trustees and read to the faculty in order to raise awareness of the problem. The administration is removed from our immediate living enviroment, so they were unaware of the growing problem. The resolution was well received by the ad ministration, faculty and the trustees, continued on page 5 onstrate an affinity to relate to differa people’s experiences and desires. “Sucl Stuff as Dreams are Made On” coUccE Shakespeare’s tragic, insightful andco medic styles and presents them all in on engaging production!
