!!!!!n!P!!R?iBF The recently adopted Code of Responsibility has made us re- sponsible for what we do just as, corny as it may sound to some. President Nixon asked the people of America to move Forward To- gether. And students are begin- ning to work together for what they want; common causes are uniting them. There are some students on this campus who can still remem- ber when beer on campus was like a four-letter word and when girls in boys ' rooms was even worse, and when the only black student on campus was an African exchange student. Since its conception, and especially in the past few years, this school has undergone numer- ous changes in attitude. It is now up to us to put this new attitude to use, remembering too that people brought up in the past represent the attitudes of the past, with tradi- tional values not all of which are necessarily wrong and which do not die overnight. iiiiiiiiiliilillllirwri iiif I lit 1 1 ' i ■- . -t - ' -u.

rliTr mmmmm i:ii;iii!!!!UJ;.: J PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE There Is one office which is the nerve center of St. Andrews, and much to our surprise, the door stands wide open many hours each day. This office belongs to Dr. Donald J. Hart, St. Andrews ' new president. It is difficult to imagine how hard it is to assume the reins of a bucking bronc, but Dr. Hart has done so with great ease and suc- cess. Meeting new faces and old problems have become second nature to him, and he has handled himself most admirably. Indeed he is our nerve center and our brain, easing tensions, greeting visitors, raising money, and keeping the mechanics of St. Andrews in top order. Greater than these is his contact with the community. He speaks our idiom and feels our pulse: at the same time maintaining a sound relationship with the Board of Trustees, who sometimes have a different beat with another idiom. He ' s St. Andrews ' own bridge to the generation gap. We are proud to have Dr. Hart with us. He has assumed a difficult task. After all, what can be more difficult than being a nerve center and brain — perhaps being our heart? ■PiiiiiJiiiiii iiiiii ' ■iiii ' fiiiaimiltllikx- Wlmk
