I think we need to et a little more equal power before we talk about responsibility. -a St. Andrews freshman What student responsibility; ' I haven ' t seen any. The student will have to take the responsi- bility—no one ' s going to give it to them. —a St. Andrews sophomore Without even thinking, they ap- point students to committees. If students will lake advantage of the power given to them on these types of committees, then they can be a positive force in the shaping of the academic community. —a St. Andrews freshman TO: St. Andrev FROM: The ReRisu, I think the students are irrc s- ponsible because they haven ' t bc en given any constructive means of developing responsibility. - a St. Andrews senior In college you will face up to life as never before, because il will ()(■ you- more than anyone else who will be making the decisions for the use of your time, your lal( nt, your energies. Personal Power lo spe.ik of student responsi- bility on this campus is a larce. Everything we are given is ei- ther symbolic or harmless. We will not be given meaninglul re- sponsil)lilly, we will have lo seize it. —a St. Andrews junior

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
