Reinvigorated, revised, and
renewed, the handbook of this
college is undergoing a metamor
phosis. Students received, in their
boxes last Thursday, September
28, St. Andrew’s 1995-1996
Saltire Jhe handbook which con
tains “the essential information
and guidelines you will need to
follow as a member of the St.
Andrews community.” It looks
good, heck it even smells good,
but a short jot through the blue
bound book reveals out of date
and irrelevant information. Com

nizations” section (Chapter Five
Academy Rules
Explained
BY SUE LEWKE
The St. Andrews Academy is
now in its second year of exist
ence, but it still remains a mys
tery to many St. Andrews Stu
dents. The Academy gives excep
tional high school students an op
portunity to skip their senior year
of high school and go directly
from being high school juniors
to being college freshman.
Academy students are just
like any other St. Andrews fresh
man except for the fact that they
have a separate SAGE 105 class
which is" taught by Mel Bringle,
and they have an extra set of rules
that they must follow due to the
feet that many of them are under
eighteen. (continued on p. 4)
r See editorial on Page 2
p.76-80). I take note of more than
five “advisers” who are no longer
with us, and several TBA’s that
could be filled in. A couple of
the clubs listed no longer exist.
This years's Saltire Review Com
mittee, formerly called the “Hand
book Committee”, has publicly
recognized the faults of the
Saltire. The “very strong, very
dynamic committee,” which con
sists of eight St. Andrews students
and an adjunct member, will “ex
amine it critically for not only the
student but the St. Andrews com
munity in general,” says Michael
Lake, a senior Philosophy major
who is on the committee.

Okay, put away the fact that
he’s an aesthetic hybrid between
Will Ray and Eric Stolz; forget
that the first song he ever learned
to play on guitar was “Stairway
to Heaven,” forget that he’s start
ing to realize that touring around
country alone really IS crazy,
Roger Day is a fine and enjoyable
musician to listen to.
On Tuesday, October third,
while everyone else was watch
ing OJ reports on Headline news,
I and about thirty other people
went to the Belk Main Lounge for
SAU’s coffeehouse at 8:00. We
were in intimate quarters to say
the least. Day on the “stage,” and
the rest of us in those wonderful
black folding chairs.
"We will express the
thoughts, ideas, and wishes of the
entire student body and not the
views of a minority. ”

Perfectly at ease. Day started
with a song of his own, from his
CD “Rich Man Poor Man
Beggerman Thief” The comfort
he radiated was no surprise, as
Day has played at our Ganza for
the past two years, and has had a
guitar in his hands since he was
in ninth grade. But he was just as
curious about us as we were of
him. Moving into covers of popu
lar songs: “Still Haven’t Found
What I’m Looking for,” by U2
and “Ants Marching” by Dave
Matthews Band, (appropriately
not knowing the words to that
long mumble part in the middle).
Day was able to make eye con
tact with everyone in the room
and even stopped the show
