PAGE 2 Classmate Remembered as Energetic BY MATT PECK STAFF EDITOR All of us who knew William Duncan will never forget the way he made us laugh or the way he pushed himself. He was an inspiration to all of his peers and admirers. William was the type of person who never seemed to complain. He was always there with something interesting to say or a joke to pass along. This summer Will Duncan worked in the alumni office. While therCjhe was always on the move. Although I had not known Will as long as most people, 1 had the opportunity to get to know him through contact outside and inside the classroom. William or Will, as he liked to be called, would push himself to his highest potential and never think about the consequcnces. He was an energetic type of person who seemed never to rest. During this past summer St Andrews lost Will in an unfortunate fate, of nature when he was stubbornly deter mined to finish one of his six mile hikes he would take everyday, but our loss will be mended by the memories we have of him. Will was a junior at St. Andrews, and most days he could be found building up the muscles in his arms or wheeling himself extraordinary distances. His determina tion was built upon not only his was handicapped but because he was a determined person. Will Duncan once told an interviewer, "But there arealotofpeopleworseoff than me. There's people out there without a change of clothes. There's people out there hun gry." Will was always like this, he was concerned, but he never let what had happened to him in a swimming pool accident, which left him paralyzed from the chest down, make him quit. Will once mentioned that his accident changed the direction of his life. He was a highschool dropout and never thought he would amount to much in life but he did. He bccame a friend to all of us who knew him. Once Will said, "You can either sit and complain about that box on the shelf you can't reach, or find another way to reach it." This was his whole attitude to life. He was determined not to sit and watch the world go by, but to get moving, and take that box from the shelf. "But there are alot of people worse off than me. There’s people out there without a change of clothes. There's people out there hungry." Will Duncan EDMORIALS Where, Oh Where, Have The Security Guards Gone? ^ Concerned students want to know; Where are the security guards when the real crimes on the Sl Andrews campus are being committed? The crime rate on the St. Andrews campus has increased greatly this year. Assaults on students by towns people, vandalism to parked cars and unknown towns people wandering in the residence halls are just some of these crimcs taking place on the campus. However, none of these crimes were wimessed by or broken up by the St. Andrews Security. The security guards are too busy trying to bust $tPtle,nts for crimes of a lesser magnitude. While it is important to punish the people who break the rules set by the SALTIRE, it is not important to protect the student body from these outside crimcs? Do students not have the right to feel safe within their community? The drunk people walking on the tops of dorms are not what frighten the general populous on the campus, it is the thought of someone harming them and there property from the outside. A concerned student Don't Pride Yourself of a Friend SinceJanuary, thefervfor over letting homosexuals into the military has spakeda su-ing of "gay bashings." I have seen one incident myself, and I was shocked that one human would try to mame another person because of sexual orienta tion. I have heard and seen people trying to kill one another because of race or religion but never have I seen this type of violence. The gay community is frightened over the recent incidents and I would be too if I was in there shoes. I have friends that are gay and they are very nice, respectable people who, other than their sexual orientation are the same as you or I. I was raised in a family that taught respect and acceptance of other's veiws. This type of harassment is appalling in a country that was founded on brotherly love and different peoples, ideas and customs. The fear of homosexuals (homophobia) can be overcome, it only lakes a little bit of 1 istening and understand ing on behalf of the person with the phobia. I feel that we can all live together, with one another's ideas and orientations if we take the time to learn about one another instead of killing each other. No Parking. Why Not Officer?! Since I have been a student at this school I have received more tickets than I have in my five years as a licensed driver. All of my tickets have been received from parking behind Meek dorm. Why should I not be permitted ' to park behind my own dorm, the dorm in which the room I paid so dearly for is. I and everybody else that has gotton a ticket because of the same circumstances know by now that the SALTIRE makes parking behind Meek a ticketed offense, but why, where is the reasoning behind this? It seems to me that the parking spaces behind Meek should be a place where students can park. If not all the spaces, what about those that are beside i the lake? I It does not seem to be a fire hazard or a health hazard to students if the parking spaces are used bymeandmy peers, but apparenUy security has come up with some idea because this year especially the tickets have come at an alarming rate. I am not trying to keep from paying the fines I have already received, I just think that unless there is a good, I mean tremendous, explaination as to why these spaces by the lake are not student parking then the students should be able to park there as often and as long as possible. No Rights, But Pay TheB|r' The new non-smoking policy on campus haveii; put my boxers in a wod. I think that the new policy is»l to those of us that smoke. I have been told that the policy is in effect to the non-smokers have complained to the faculty and sit leaders. This I think is bull crap. Foronclhinglhavei friends who are non-smokers, and if I know that they tali smell of the smoke then I will not smoke around lli» The policy shows a lack of control on thoscoft do smoke and who are sincere to those that do not. Now there is talk about making SAGA anii Center non-smoking. This will be something to sccnot the student leaders are back and the faculty cannotslil students in the back like they did in LA.
