.i . 1... ! ••. a-i ' ;5iJ»i5 Ten years old. Ten years of being a new cham- pion of an old faith. St. Andrews has come a long way from a swamp. It has risen from a natural wonder to an architectural one — a meta- morphosis of debatable value. What is St. Andrews now? What kind of an institution is this, and where has it been in the last decade? More importantly, where is it going? St. Andrews has reached a re- spected position among colleges as a progressive, innovative insti- tution. So far, the image has been, for the most part, a true one. SA has been a leader in establishing inter-disciplinary courses such as Christianity and Culture and the new American Studies program. The Selected Topics in Modern Science program has been studied and imi- tated by institutions all over the United States. In non-academic areas, SA has been comparatively open-minded, especially in the realm of dorm visitation and housing. (Caution: Signs of regression are numerous) It is true that students do not have sufficient influence over the formu- lation of the policies which directly affect them. The power of student government is largely illusory. Still, SA students have more to say about school policies than students at most other small church-related colleges. Some of us may expect the Presbyterians of North Carolina to turn SA over to us. But some of us may expect a bit too much.
