And you will inevitably come face to face with other students who have different viewpoints, different skin, another religion, more or less money, greater or lesser sophistication-but you will learn how to open up to them and to communicate. ' You will learn how to speak your own mind, be honest with yourself, be real with others, open up as an individual. -Personal Power People from St. Andrews ac t like a bunch of kids just let out from Sunday school. —an observer This is about as heterogeneous a college as you ' ll find any- where. You can find people here with about any interest un- der the sun-socialite to in- tellectual with everything in between. —a St. Andrews freshman A lot of the people come across to me as really bourgeois. We do have individuals but as a group they come ac ross as arti- ficial and plastic. —a St. Andrews freshman

My life is centered, theo- retically, around the classroom, but practically this breaks down at St. Andrews as it does at all other schools too, because there are so many chores that have to be performed, so many committees at SA . . . and so, like too many other teachers at the school, my energy and time involves too many things, that need to be done I feel, but to be honest with the student, you may find yourself rushing from a committee meeting to a class and you haven ' t thought as much about this particular novel today as you should. And so it ' s a schizophrenic life-you think you ' re here for the teach- ing but you find you can get bogged down in the routine of operations. -a St. Andrews professor I think the faculty is generally pretty good— some bad and some good, but the good seem to overshadow the bad. They seem enthusiastic and really try hard. -a St. Andrews freshman The faculty have a lot to give you, but are hung up in being professors. It would work bet- ter for me if they were more down to earth. —a St. Andrews senior
