I'm talk ing about the United Way. Yes. it does apply to you. There are 128 un duplicated services pro vided by the 31 agencies in Mecklenburg and Union counties. Among these are the Red Cross. Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts. Goodwill, the Associa tion for Retarded Citizens, the Mental Health Association and the Salvation Army. The list is extensive and covers a wide range of help services from medical car and counsel ing to vocational train ing and job placement. United Way only cam paigns once per year and the 1978 drive is now underway. UNCC has a goal of $12,000 but somewhere, something must be wrong. The United Way fund raising campaign has divided among the various agencies. If a donor specifies a certain agency or area the money is used for the preference of that person or group. One common excuse for each of donations on campus expresed by Terry Hummed. United Way representative for UNCC, is some educators feel they are already in public service by being in their field and college professors aren't paid very well to begin with. What these people don't realize is almost every service per formed through United Way pertains to them or someone they care for, however indirectly it may be. Hummell believes col lege campuses are too spread out and it is dif ficult to get a lot of peo ple together for an infor mative type lecture. However, at the start of the campaign. 1,104 let ¬ tphoto by Don Waterman/ Jim Mecredy. United Way chairman for UNCC. Retreads ters and brochures were sent to the facultv and staff at UNCC. As of Monday. Oct. 16, only 112 of these people had responded with con tributions. These 10 percent, by generously giving more than their “fair share" (one hour's pay per month), has totaled the amount at 36,133.75 which is 51 percent of the UNCC goal. If only another 10 percent would contribute the same, the campus would exceed its ideal amount. The United Way would very much like to see the students at UNCC involved in their campaign and services. Jim Mecredy, chair man for United Way at UNCC, has set up a table in the lobby of the Bookstore where students may make donations or just find out more about the duties of the United Way. Sometimes when a new program begins, such as the Peer Counselor Program for Re-entry Students, we fail to identify and reach all the persons we would like to help. To re-emphasize the program, we would like to re mind all re-entry students we are here to help make your return to the college campus easier and more pleasurable. We offer advice, counseling and general informa tion during the day as well as operating the EPIC (Evening Program Information Center) in the Bookstore lobby. Some night either before or after class stop by and visit with one of our counselors, who are on duty from 4-9 p.m. Monday through Thursday. In addition, we are asking for re-entry students' input to give us an idea of some of the problems and adjustments you are experiencing with your return to college.

The perfor mance consisted of seven views of the child, ranging from a child’s rock and roll fantasy to a wonderfully enchanting version of a game of pool entitled “Cue Ball.’ The dancer who best captured the magical world of the child was Hardin Minor, a senior dance major at UNCC. He presented his own choreography in “Nightdream,” a young boy's rock and roll fan tasy. Through the use of not only dance but also through techniques conveyed dience his his art. presented dramatic he skillfully to the au- “story” and Minor also to the au- dience as one of the se quences, the children he teaches in the Spirit Square classes. Esther Gunn, also a senior dance major at UNCC, gave an ex ¬ cellent performance throughout the pro gram. She, along with Minor, presented their own choreography in “Fulfillment,” a beautiful moving dance, the story of two young lovers. Jo Jewell, a junior dance major at UNCC, gave an enchanting per formance in the se- quence entitled "Mary, Clyde and Eddie,” the story of three children and how they play. These three talented students, along with the other members of the company, brought to the audience not only how a child views his world, but also enabled adults to view a child's world from his perspective Mr. C’s RESTAURANT (1^ miles south of UNCtUrnhwy 49) 99° Breakfast special 7a.m. - 11a.m. HRIS 7 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. Closed Sat. per customer COUPON COUPON COUPON COUPON 1/2 PRICE SPECIAL Offer good on any sandwich with coupon any day after 2 p.m. Buy any size pizza & add any 3 ingredients Pitcher of BEER of your choice freely ()ffoi expires Oct. 31
