St. Andrews in the past year or two has been a young girl coming of age, a debutante preparing for her presen- tation to society. The days of infancy and childhood passed swiftly, and now at the ripe old age of seven years, St. Andrews has become a relatively mature and graceful young lady, suitable for her social entrance. She better be ready, because she is about to ask for thirty million dollars, that she might further her growth and cultural advantages. That she is such a beautiful ladv and has developed so well is to the credit of the SA De- velopment Office, which is primarily responsible for SA ' s public image. Someone must convey the spirit and storv of St. Andrews to the world, and the task falls to Mr. Bruce Frye, Mr. Badger Johnson and Mr. Fowler Dugger. Handling news releases, countless visitors, the student publi- cations and anything else that repre- sents St. Andrews to the public is their job; the number of students that applv and benefactors that respond to our needs is their reward.

Consider for a moment nine hundred students paying approximately twenty five hundred dollars a year, plus countless trustees and benefactors contributing various sums ranging from fifty to five hundred thousand dollars, and it becomes apparent that St. Andrews is big business. Meet then Silas Vaughn and Lindsey Thomas, SA ' s business managers. If you ever wondered just where your parents ' money goes, these gentlemen have the answers. Mr. Vaughn is re- sponsible for everything from a new science building to fountain pens, and with a school that is experiencing the growing pains that St. Andrews feels, the allocation of funds becomes a highly significant matter for the fu- ture as well as the present status of the college. It is especially significant to those who receive some of that cash as financial aid from Mr. Bob Chaiken, SA ' s answer to Rod Laver. It is increasingly apparent that a great many policy decisions are made by the men with the moneybags, and if their grip is less than secure we get spilled along with the coins. Lindsey Thomas, Bob Chaiken, and Sila s Vaughn. 24 HH SKj« M£ iW

immmiwmwmMwmaBBm What is there about a library that makes it so hard a place in which to study? Is it the soft hum of the air conditioners, or the thick carpets un- derfoot, or simply the abundant ca- maraderie about the old place? If there is more sleeping and socializing in the library than there is work, it is not due to any shortcomings of the physical plant, aside from our finan- cial restrictions; SA has in Mr. Dick Lietz a scholar as well as librarian, and his knowledge of contemporary literature is a major source of research for anyone who takes the time to seek him out. Ably assisted by his wife and assistants, Mr. Lietz has undertaken the task of transforming DeTamble Library from a sparsely stocked ware- house of bookshelves into a top rate liberal arts library. One of these days the SA student is going to discover what libraries are really for, and maybe then the place will be taken advantage of. Top: Mrs. Bennett; Mr. Lietz and Mrs. Johnson. 26 2L
