Changing Times Students returning to school year 1983-84 have been greeted by a host of changes on either side of that proverbial lake. A large sum of money was allocated towards a campus facelift in the long range physical planning exhibited these last several years. Old dorms fade away . . . Probably the most glaring difference to returning students was the nonexistence of Mecklenburg dorm, home to approximately 40-50 people. Ex-members of this dorm have been housed in virtually every other residence hall. Winston-Salem also encountered some changes over the summer — heartily more favorable. New carpet, new seat covers and plants characterized the decor. Efforts are also being generated to decipher the dilemma of the boiler system and heating system, long irritants alike at the college. The trip across to the nonresident side serves to discover the many changes that have occurred over the summer vacation. The Psychology Lab was constructed in the Morgan Jones basement to insure that the psychology department should have adequate space for practical skill building. The Administrative Support Center is now coordinating all copy and printing costs. The new computer center was operational at the beginning of the year, significantly upgrading the preceeding computer setup. The Ethel Fortner Press Room has been dedicated at the inaugural poetry reading and will serve as a center for all student literary activities. Many fluctuations, responsed to positively and negatively, denote a concern for the continual upgrading of student facilities.

Farrago Farrago: a medley; conglomeration; a mixture. This is the St. Andrews experience. Individuals abound from every corner of the globe bringing a myriad of perspectives to our community. And not only are the students well rounded in every sense of the word, but the faculty, administration, and staff exhibit an avid interest in the world beyond the boundaries of the campus. Students in the education department exemplify the thrusts being made to push out one ' s own personal quarters. Other opportunities such as the option for Winter term abroad, provide a direct confrontation with values of another type and challenge the individual to understand his or her own context. The L-A. mural represents an early Christian response to his or her own history. An elemental problem. The leader of the pack. Enjoymg the sunshine between L.A. and Morgan-Jones.
