The Lance S.G.A. update continued from page 4 Most administrators have toured the halls to get a first hand knowledge'of the problems. Already some improvements have been made. Two suites in Orange Hall are getting their bathrooms reno vated. Plans to replace all carpeting in Wilmington are underway. A list of sched uled maintenance has been drafted. A team has been compiled to address these concerns. The team is composed of repre sentatives from the administration, physi cal plant, housekeeping and student lead ers. This team is very energetic and plans to generate concerns and prioritize action. You will see changes occurring soon! YOE! Don ’ t forget the “Year of the Enviroment “ is well underway. Our first campus-wide cleanup was Sunday, Octo ber 25. We would like to encourage all students to participate in enviromentally- conscious activities. Please keep up the recycling effort. Remember, the bins are to be taken out Tuesday nights and placed on the straight-aways, not on the curves. of the Belk Center Circle. Don’t forget to pick up your empty bins the next day. Just try to keep our campus clean by not litter ing. Greg Phelps, Jennifer Thompson and Garreth Griffith are the people to talk to if you have any questions. The Gathering Place has a new look, and a better variety of quality food. A grand opening will be coming up in the next few weeks. The Gathering Place will soon be opening during the day for study ing. At night, it is a place to hang out, to socialize, to watch television and the ulti mate cure for the munchies. Located right in the middle of campus in the Belk Cen ter, it is definitely worth checking out. We would like to familiarize all stu dents with the smoking policy in SAGA. Scientific evidence has suggested that in halation of secondary smoke may be just as harmful as smoking, therefore the Sen ate of 1991-1992 issued a policy limiting the smoking area last year. (We know this sounds like a label on the side of a ciga rette box, but hey.) This policy is still in effect for this year. Many areas have become smoke-free enviroments. Our current policy is lim ited, but still very important. The desig nated smoking area is the last four rows of tables at the far end of SAGA by the windows. Signs will be posted again, so thatthearea willbeclearly defined. Smok ers please be considerate of non-smokers, and respect the designated areas. But above all this Student Govern ment business, please follow Candace Meredeth’s, the Secretary of S.G.A., fine words of wisdom, “YOU GOTTA HAVE FUN!” On this note, St. Andrews we hope you had a blast this Halloween weekend, and we will see you around. BAHAMA BOUND: Kim Biglin, a senior from Barrington, N.J., recently won a five-day, four-night trip for two to the Bahamas by being the audience favorite in a karaoke contest sponsored by the Karaoke Connection and held at Champs Fine Foods and Spirits restaurant. The contest winner was determined by audience applause. For her winning number, Biglin sang "The Greatest Love of All." She plans to make the Bahama trip over spring break. Equestrian program busier, better than ever Fage 5 By Tracey Kenworthy This year’s St. Andrews Equestrian program has started off busier and better than ever. Over the past several months the team has had several great additions to our school’s horse string. Shotgun, MGM, Rocky, Brownie, Walt, Ward, Spot and Alice are a few of the horses which were donated, or loaned by the school. This year’s freshmen class brought in 25 new riders who have conU’ibuted a great amount of new talent to the program. The varsity team had their first away show on September 18-20 at Tri-Color Show Grounds in Camden, S. C. The whole team placed consistenly well with Malinda Grice bringing home the Adult and Equestrian Grand Championships. The second away show, held September 25-27, was at Spring Dale Race Track in Camden, S. C. The entire team rode very competitively and was in the top six placings consistenyly. The junior varsity team had their firstaway show on October 3-4, at One Mile Race Track in Aiken, S. C. The Adult Equestrian Championship was won by sophomore Joel Carmichael. The first IHSA show of the season was held at Singing Wood Farm on Octo ber 9. The IHSA team riders who won in their division(s) were: Beth Trott, Lauren Seymour, Roger Rood, Calhy Kassel, Malinda Grice, and Beth Anna Perry. Malinda Grice, winninng both her classes, was High Point rider. With team effort, St. Andrews tied with High Point Col lege. Also this year, ihree clinics were held with Kevin Westcott and Margie Sugerman presiding. Kevin Westcott’s clinic dealt with resistance free training, and his amazing work with young horses. The Margie Sugerman clinic was unique in that she used hypnosis to allow the riders to better use their subconcious abili ties. The Alexander Technique taught a greater physical self-awareness to enable the rider to come in touch with their ki netic senses. Upcoming events are the IHS A S ho w at Hollins College October 29, Duke Ben efit Show in Raleigh November 6-8, IHS A Shows will be held at Duke and Southern Seminary on November 8-13, anda riding clinic withSueAsheonNovember 14-15. This year has gotten off to a great start and we plan for continued success. The riding team appreciates all the sup port they have received and we welcome your continued support. St. Andrews students tackle environmental issues By Gregg A. Phelps Maybe one should not ask, “What is the Year of the Environment campus cam paign?” but instead ask, “Is there a Year of the Environment campus campaign?” This conclusion would seemingly be true given the rather modest turnout at its functions thus far and the lack of motiva tion exhibited toward campus activities in general this year. For example, out of a campus of approximately 600people, only about 35-40 students and faculty (and I applaud them for their hard work) showed up for a campus and lake clean-up on a sunny day. I bring this issue up only as a point of interest for those who don’t care about the Year of the Environment, don’t know what the Year of the Environment is, or do know, but “just don’t have the time.” I do understand that there is always soemthing to do and stress levels peak (after all. I’m a student, too), but what is at least a half hour out of the gridlock to do something constructive for the environ ment we Uve in? I imgine I will not persuade those who don’t care to get involved, and people that don’t have the time are too busy to make the time, so the appeal must be made to those who don’t know or who haven’t heard what the Year of the Envi- ronmentis. The Year of the Environment is a campus campaign to raise conscious- Y.O.E.! ness about environmental concerns through projects anddiscussions, debates, etc. So far, there have been three Year of the Environment (YOE) activities on the calendar. A student panel discussion on envi ronmentalism at St. Andrews on Septem ber 29 kicked-off the first YOE activity for the year. Some of the issues discussed vvere: What is important to the environ ment? What is not? Who or what (hu mans or nature) has a stake on this cam pus? Which is more important to pre serve? Or, are we inseparable? Thank you to the participants: David Allen, Trae Brookins, Josh Foote, Rod Gammon, Kaille Padgett, Joey Schnople and Mike Stark for their research and presentation. The fall term project for YOE (just wait—there will be another one in the spring) was the campus-wide campus and lake clean-up on Sunday, October 25. This overall successful endeavor provided us with a cleaner campus as well as a new interlocking woodland trail from Keltic Rock to Dogwood Mile, plus an improved Granville Beach with a sandy face-lift. Again, thank you to all of the workers, with special thanks to the trail-clearing team of Tri-Betas, and President Thomas continued on page 7 Playboy magazine fiction contest Playboy magazine has announced its eighth annual College Fiction contest.
