mm All too often Laurinburg is noted for its inadequacies, at least in the eyes of the relatively cosmopolitan SA student. The town can be dull and uninspiring — Scotland county is re- ferred to as a cultural vacuum — but then college students are overly wont to criticize these days. Still, the stu- dents ' participation in town affairs is largelv restricted to attending its various churches and patronizing its businesses, and in some cases even that is eliminated; SA has made the mayor of McColl richer than any Laurinburg merchant. Still, econo- mics remain the major link between the town and the college. The frosh discover Main Street, USA. They face their first dilemmas in the choice of City Barber or Angus Mclnnis, Cen- ter or Gibson, but save their favorite dollars for Mr. Rogers. n
