Three rooms in Mecklenburg
Dorm were searched over the
weekend of January 26-28
Campus police were called in
to investigate a rjumber of reports
from students and the R.A. re

ing from the rooms.
According to the initial re
ports from security, campus po
lice, accompanied by the Area
Coordinator, knocked on the
door of the first room. The four
students in the room were asked
to surrender any drugs. The stu

materials. A fiirther search of the
room produced four bongs, a pip^.
a bag containing marijuana, the re
mainder of a joint, and some roll
ing papers.
In the second room, security
found on the four students involved
a pipe, a bag of marijuana, and some
rolling papers. While searching the
room, security also found two
bongs, a bong holder, a metal tin
containing rolling papers, baggies

pipes, and two coke-bottle bongs.

'If You Build It, They Will Come
Scottish Heritage Center Under Construction
ff
What’s Inside
BY TASHIA JONES
If you’ve attempted to use the
computer lab in the library since
Christmas break, you will have
come upon a room void of com
puters and gotten plaster on your
shoes. The former computer lab
setting is to become the home for
w school’s first Scottish Heri-
t^ge Center.
The project was first con-
wived in 1989 with the idea to
I'onor Scottish heritage in this
says Bill Caudill, director
“fall things Scottish at St. An-
jfews. Scotland County, her fiir-
explains, is in the midst of a
nine county region which began
as the “largest settlement of High
land Scots in all of North
America” in the 1700’s. In this
region “there is no park, there’s
no museum, there’s no library,
there’s no center where the inter
est (in history and genealogy) is
focused.”
Caudill cites a recent resur
gence and interest in people want
ing to find where their roots were,
and also about the “history of
where they came fi'om.’ The li
brary of our predecessor school,
Flora MacDonald College, pro
vided a tremendous collection of
“old and rare books” dealing with
materials, explains Caudill, “were
Scottish history. A lot of these
closeted for several years and
were locked away.” Some of these
materials were kept in the St.
Andrews Heritage Center on the
third floor of the library, a place
not easily accessible. This pro
vides “one of the thrusts for the
Scottish Heritage program—to
create a center which will have
exhibit space, study space, read
ing areas for people to come to do
research and pleasure reading
about Scotland and its history,”
says Caudill.
