In the short span of less than ten years, we have built a much better record of accomplishment and change than many new schools, especially Southern ones, can boast of. This change has been at times sporadic but orderly, not fast enough for some, too fast for oth- ers, and some people do not even notice or care that it is happening. But those who know it is happening and want it to happen seem to real- ize that change brought about by force brings along with it increased tension and unrest on both sides and the necessity for more force. We are rapidly learning to become involved with the outside commu- nity, although it is not always com- pletely receptive to the same, and we are learning to use our basic right of free speech in the aid and defense of others and their rights.

The first edition of the Lamp and Shield in 1962 did not even acknowledge the fact that the col- lege was in Laurinburg, which might seem indicative of the senti- ments involved, or not involved, but last year ' s annual was almost total- ly concerned with St. Andrews and its relation to Laurinburg and the community as a whole. We have our local version of the Peace Corps and students who go out into the surrounding area to tutor. We have dramatic productions, arts festi- vals, and poetry readings open to the whole community. Students petition in the area to have new laws or policies, such as the liquor referendum, voted on and passed. Much has been done, but there is admittedly more to do and things are a bit one-sided at the moment. We must try to reach the communi- ty and then hopefully they will try to reach us. 15
