St. Andrews’ Day,
In the last Lance article about
the Year of the Enviroment, I defined
what the Year of the Enviroment was
and outlined some possible suggestions
on how to get involed. Ruefully, I may
not have been specific enough because
not a single individual contacted me
about details on how she could get ac
tive. Now the end of the semester is
upon us and woric, stress (from the holi
days and otherwise) and illness are
mounting daily. So even though you
may not have the time and energy to be
Eco-Man or Woman-saving the world
form the perils of ozone depletion and
deforestization-here is a list of simple
things to do that take only fifteen min
utes to raise enviromental awareness.
1. Turn off lights, heal/air -condition
ing, stereos, etc, when not in the room
for a long period of time. All too often
lights are left on academic and residen
tial sides of the lake. Heating becomes
wasteful when people are not even in the
room, or a (suite lounge) door is left
open when the heat is on.
2. Work with your suite to organize
recycling bin take-out sign-ups to share
the responsibility of taking out the recy
cling bins every TUESDAY EVENING
for Wednesday pick-up. Filled recy
cling bins on this campus have a ten
dency to hang around for several weeks
if they are not taken to the long part of
the curb Tuesday nights.
3. Consult your club (Tri-Beta, CSO,
Eco- Action, etc.) and organizations
(S AU, BSU, etc.) presidents about spon
soring an enviromental project for the
Yearof the Enviroment President Eddie
Brown released a memo several weeks
ago reminding the presidents of the vari
ous clubs about this plan, and if you
haven’t joined a club this would be the
perfect opportunity.
4. Make suggestions to your
Enviromental Dorm Chairs and Dorm
Presidents about an enviromental project
Nov. 30 th
Sl Andrews College will cel
ebrate St. Andrews Day on Monday,
November 30, with a variety of ac
tivities.
Andrew is the patron Saint of
Scotland and was Jesus’ first chosen
disciple.
There will be an Open House
in the Heritage Room of the Library
fit)m 9:30 - 3:00.
Monday night will feature a
St. Andrews Day celebration for the
Monday Night in the Arts program
beginning at 8:00 p.m. Chaplain
David Thomton v/ill give a presenta
tion on the topic, “ Who Was An

greetings from St. Andrews Societ
ies nationwide as well as greetings
from St. Andrews University in Scot
land.
Members of the college pipe
band will perform selected Scottish
tunes. A special feature of the enter

picnic) might be a suggestion of one.
(hint, hint).
5. If there is a pressing (enviromental)
concern that needs attention call me
(Gregg Phelps at 5598), or if it is really
important visit Dr. Reuschling (the fa
ther of YOE) for an answer. His door is
always open (unless he is on a business
trip).
The next step after this aware
ness is action. So even though this
article may seem elementary and/or
authoritorian, it is just a subtle reminder
of what needs to be done to make the
Year of the Enviroment campaign a
success. Let’s not be just “armchair
activist” (taken from a speech on cam
pus involvement by Katie Bonsai), but
get advice.
