■ As the pastor keeps our spiritual selves in good shape, Mr. Harold Babcock and his maintenance staff keep our SA oasis in good physical shape. These are the guys who pick up the beer cans we throw out the window, and fix the window we broke as the cans passed through it. Mr. Babcock has no office hours; when anything breaks down, he comes. In effect, he has the respon- sibility for keeping a city of one thousand people in good running or- der. His power plant behind the trees generates the energy that allows us to generate some occasional mental energy, and he can be forgiven for an occasional wrong guess about when the cold weather is here to stay. (Air conditioning at 45 degrees is a real freak-out). And since freaking out sometimes takes rowdy forms at SA, we have a campus patrolman to cur- tail the panty raids and keep clear SA ' s own DMZ, the yellow parking zones. Mr. Jackson, SA ' s own mid- night rider, is a one man police force and keeper of the peace, a constant guardian through those long Laurin- burg nights.

iimmmxms wMBrnmsmmBm m Top:Mr. Davenport; Bottom: Miss Mai loy. Meet the rightfully reverent Bob Davenport, fighting the forces of evil with an open mind and a quasiliberal attitude, relentlessly challenging the status quo in our little corner of Dix- ieland. Four years now he has been our pastor, and we have seen the evo- lution of mandatory chapel service to an open forum where he and others can stand and say I believe . A man with a notion to make a motion and carry an idea to reality, the Reverend is an undaunted seeker and not a su- perfluous waiter. Deep within the catacombs of his surrealistic monastic cell, our unfrocked friar receives the eight hour protection of Miss Ultra Brite 1968, Ida Malloy. Hers is the job of relaying the minister ' s message to whoever may be listening, but Simon and Garfunkel say it best: the words of the prophet are written on the subway walls . . . but there are no subways in Laurinburg. 28 BfifiS

,.J1UMU1I1IUU]1UJ« ■Bl To talk about the VRA is superfluous. One has only to see the student aides ' dedication, or the kids that are handi- capped themselves, though they are handicapped by name only. SA ' s in- famous wheeled troupe is one of the brightest spots on campus, and a sure cure for those occasional bouts of self-pity. Mr. Bob Urie is the Director of the VRA, and he is assisted by Mrs. Carl Geffert and Mrs. Alice Mc- Kenzie. Together they supervise a program of student aides that has each handicapped student paired with a roommate who lends a hand when needed, but it is often difficult to determine who benefits the most from the other. But, again, to write about handicapped students is de- feating the purpose of the VRA. They are simply a few of the SA student ' s thousand other selves. Top: Mr. Urie; Bottom: Mrs. McKenzie.
