St. Andrews Prebyterian College The Lance 5 Senate Votes to Approve Club Budgets BY REBECCA STACY proposed club budgets were unanimously approved at the Oc tober 1 Senate meeting in Orange Main Lounge. The budget was presented by Kim Ribaudo, trea surer. Senate also reviewed a Cabi net meeting with Dean Nance. Nance, who has had previous ex perience with the accreditation process, feels very positive about the upcoming Southern Accreditors of Colleges and Schools (SACS) visit at the end of October. Howard Reichner, advisor for Senate, also ex pressed his positive outlook, say ing, “We’re light years ahead of where we were two years ago.” Sean Gorman has been ap pointed as Defense Council for the upcoming academic year. While all of the logistics of community service have still not been resolved, dorms are prepar ing to organize service plans. This year, commimity service is not mandatory so dorms will not be fined for those who do not par ticipate, but they are looking for ways to formally incorporate it into the St. Andrews experience. How ever, one hundred percent partici pation is being encouraged among students. Dorm vice presidents ap pointed community service coor dinators, who, in concert with Stu dent Life, will begin to arrange ser vice efforts over the next few weeks. Students wanting to arrange their own projects are urged to do so. Several dorms are still with out officers. Winston Salem is missing a president, vice president and social chair. Mecklenburg and Highland Hall are both without vice presidents and Wilmington lacks a social chair and vice presi dent. The three week election pro cess began with a posting period, starting October 2. Nominations are taking place this week and elections will be held the week of October 16. St. Andrews Students Called On To Volunteer The heart of any charitable organization is the personal growth it provides for the people it serves and the members who take part in the serving. In the best of situations, it’s difficult to tell who benefits the most. Such is the case with the Scots for Youth program in Scotland County. It is called one of the Governor’s One-On-One pro grams because it seeks to provide help for those who need it from one person directly to another, rather than through some kind of group setting. Considering the service the organization seeks to provide, that is the only way to do it. The Scots for Youth program in Scotland County is similar to Big Brother programs initiated in other areas. It first identifies area youths in need of positive adult role models. The youths are some times referred to the organization by the court system, school coun selors, Social Services and other agencies and individuals who come in contact with them. Of ten they come from one-parent households. They are matched up, one- on-one, with adult volunteer from the community who are judged to be well adapted so cially and who are willing to give several hours a week to working with their assigned youths. These “pairs” as they are re ferred to, do such things as at tend movies, concerts and other entertainment events or share more private experiences such as fishing, shopping or even just spending quality time together sharing feelings. The Scots for Youth is a United Way agency which also receives state funding. But its most important asset are the vol unteers who want the experience of working to develop a personal relationship with another per son. It is through sharing of this kind that the greatest goods are ac complished. Caroline Evans, director of the Scots for Youth program, re marked that St. Andrews students, “Over the years have been some of our most effective volunteers. “I’ve always considered St. Andrews students unique and spe cial in their compassion and out reach We hope to continue our re lationship.” Submit!
