iHE LANCE Development _ Understanding and Support tinued from Pace 11 used for Thursday, October 10,1974 Office Creates PAGE THREE (continued from Page 1 > The federal and state gover nments are also valuable sour ces of revenue and well worth the establishing of good relations. St. Andrews has of ten received federal gifts for its work with the handicapped. At the present, there are funds for the two and a half year hud housing for the han dicapped research program. At present we receive from HEW $123,000, which goes for “Special Services for the Han dicapped and Disad vantaged.” Mr. Frye is trying to obtain another HEW grant for $150,000, called “The Developing Institution Grant- Title in.” This would provide for “further development of the faculty,” opportunity for faculty leaves for con- centraticHi in their fields, in workshops, etc. St. Andrews also receives other Government aid grants in the form of College Work- Study Funds, National Defen se Student Loans, and Basic Opportunity Grants, a total of $110,000 per year. State aid to private colleges is $57,000 per year, used for student aid. Another means of financing is relations with foundations. Mr. Frye said the St. Andrews deals with about 75 foun dations, mostly in the state. Among recent foundations grants were $65,000. KBR Health Care Trust, and $15,000 from the Kresge Foun dation, both for the new rehab center. The alumni fund raising drive is another source. Charles Parrish handles this aspect of development by sen ding requests to alumni three times a year. A most important financial source is gifts from those per sons who simply have an in terest in the college. Such gifts are obtained through long chains of connections. At the present there is in the plan ning a Captial Funds cam paign whidi involves finding an initial donor of ap proximately one million dollars. This person will by his gift issue a challoige to other persons to meet his gift by another gift. The proposed goal is 7-8 million dollars to be used for endowment and program development, a study has shown that next year would be the prime time for a campaign and when . “ details are worked out with a couple of people, un named at this time, all will have the go-ahead. Another type of fund- raismg, is the possibility of developing the north end of the campus which faces U.S.-74. A report of the study made will be given on October 24. _ St. Andrews’ overall budget IS now at $3,551,000 and for the last five years we have been in the red. Hie deficit for last year was $300,186. Because of this we have had to borrow 1.3 million dollars from our own various internal funds. This situation seems rather bad, but last year was next to the school’s most successful year in fund raising vrtiere we received 1.6 million dollars in total gifts. Mr. Frye said that “this is especially significant, considering the economic state. The money is there to keep the school in good shape.” The Highland Players presented their opening play of the season, “Fiddler on the Roof,” October 4-8 in the St. Andrews theater. Although the play got off to a slow start, it later proved to be one of the finest per formances ever given at St. Andrews. The costuming for the show was quite authentic, which is as it should be for $1000 and the name of Eaves of New York. The lighting was ex cellent and the light shifts were virtually unnoticable. The sets were well worth the time and effort that was put into their construction. The simplicity of the backdrops conveyed the lifestyle of the people, yet they were a reminder that we were looking at a play and not reality. The screening that was used showed a giant step toward professionalism and innovativeness in our theater. The Mily problem was that it Vaccine to Be Distributed Flu vaccines will be available in the Health Center beginning the week of October 7, 1974. There is a charge of $1.50 per injecti(Hi. Students w^o have not received the vaccine before must have the first shot before Oct. 18. The second shot will be given beginning Nov. 4. Students who received the flu vaccine last year will only need the shot in November. put the actors so far back that it was difficult to hear them. The musical ac companiment, directed by Sally Morris, seemed to hold the play together. The musicians themselves per formed extremely well. To comment upon the cast, Jim Bumgardner and Bob Thames, Mendel and the Rab bi respectively, must be com mended for their dancing abilities. The bottle dance, even though .unsuccessful, kept the audience on the edge of their seats with suspense and the hope that the dance would be successfully com pleted. Lazar Wolf, played by Gray Eubank, would have been ex cellent had he spoken louder. Bill Peterson as Perchik, the rebellious student who was going to change the world, carried his role off smoothly. He convinced the audience ttiat he wasn’t just an actor on the stage but was actually the character he was portraying. The tailor, John Dodds, had the sympathy of the audience from the beginning. He has proven himself a competant actor as weU as a good vocalist. The daughters Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava: Jan Williams, Mary Bryan Mat- ney, and Jane Schwab, respectively were just as they should be, “realistically char ming.” Jan Williams was an excellent addition to the Highland Players. She seemed to put everything she had into her performance. Mary Bryan Matney wasn’t very convincing in the begin ning, but in the end, she gave a creditable performance. Jane Schwab, another newcomer to the Highland Players, came off as a professional who took her role seriously. She definitely had the audience in the palm of her hand. Leek Mason as Golde, like many the performers, got off to a slow start, but finished with more enthusiasm. She met the challenge of her role very well. What can be said of David Evans as Teyve other than that he was perfect? His resemblance to other professional actors who have played this role was remarkable. His voice, although a bit weak in Uie beginning, showed his en thusiasm. He proved himself to be not only as astounding vocalist, but a very con vincing actor. Who would believe that off stage he is really a mild mannered voice teacher! In the interests of those who have things to sell, want things to buy, or any other communications people may wish to transmit within the campus, the Lance is in corporating a classified sec tion. Any annoncemait may be obtained at $1.00 per column inch by either con tacting Jimmy Thwaite or by writing to the Lance, Box 757. ^mm ROCK./NG CA/^/R Cinema 27«.4«M • Crf>9 Pina SInppiiii CmNt Called Slow Starter, Performance A DIFFERENT KIND OF HERO DRIFTED INTO TOWN ...ON A WAVE!

Therefore, ®ne must leam v^at the system has to teach, then use ®6se skills to effect the '*®cessary changes. Dantzler finds that St. An drews has “very nice facilities and basically niM people,” but sees a certain amount of hypocrisy in the living attitudes of both students and faculty towards Black students on the cam pus. A firm believer in the need for people from all kinds of backgrounds to get to know each other, she asks, “Is St. Andrews really integrated?’ Real integratlOTi, she feels, is more than Blacks and Whites just being on the s^e campus together. Rather it in volves communication bet ween-the two groups, and this is what Dr. Dantzler finds lacking here. She believes that an osten sibly Christian college has a responsibility to provide an example of this kind of com munication and love. She wonders how anybody can go into tiie ministry or foreign service (such as Peace Cor ps) and talk about love when we cannot live with our fellow human beings right here, lliere are no excuses for this maintains Dantzler. Changes in education and in attitudes toward one’s fellow men must start with the in dividual. “A stiident should determine his or her goals and how he or she wants to accomplish them. Then let everyttog he or she does be a part of that. If the individual is strong enough to make his mind to do sometiiing and stick to it, who csm stop him from accomplishing it, one way or another? If people would leam to take respon sibility for what they believe,-- regar^ess of others’ opinions, it would eliminate a lot of ex cuses.” Excuses are things with which Dr. Dantzler has little patience. “We need to stq> evading issues and come to grips with these problems,” she’ says. “Each person can do something to st^ changes by accepting other people as people and sharing ex periences with them, by ac ting on this basis, rather than paying mere lip service to the" ideas.”
