Choice Proves Successful
. as the music was the lie
CHOICE — Saturday night the Harris Courts came alive with a
rock-n-roll concert and light show. (Kioto by Kim Leland)
Development Fund
Breaks Record
“We’ve finally proven we
can do it,” commented CUB
president Craig Withrow after
Saturday night’s ‘Choice
Concert. The remarks were
made with particular
reference to the smooth-
running technical details
which allowed the entire show
to come off without a hitch.
“The band itself told us that if
this effort was our first con
cert that everybody concerned
had done an amazing job,”
said Withrow.
The concert played to a
medium-sized but enthusiastic
crowd, with little or no
problems evident in crowd
control. Stage management,
parking, or general security.
The much feared “Townie”
invasion of the dormitory
areas of campus did not take
place.
Aesthetically the concert
appeared to be quite a suc
cess. As the crowd raved
while CHOICE opened with
“Come Sail Away” and went
through a three hour show
(plus encore) including much
of their own music as well as
that of FORIEGNER, THE
ROLLING STONES, and THE
BEACH BOYS, probably
inspiring as many comments
as the music was the light
show, the first on record in
at least recent years at St.
Andrews.
“Everything looks ex
tremely good now for a con
tinuing concert series at St.
Andrews,” said Withrow. “We
spent an hour and a half with
the president on Monday and
he seemed extremely well
pleased with the outcome.
Withrow noted that particular
thanks should be given the
concert committee, chaired
by Bob McWhorter, and all the
volunteers who showed up to
help with whatever had to be
done.

Prompted by a miUion
dollar gift and a record-setting
Annual Fund, St. Andrews
Presbyterian College raised
52,628,759 during 1977-78, the
greatest annual total in its
history. Nearly 85 percent of
this total was given by in
dividuals, churches, foun
dations and corporations. The
remaining 15 percent came
from federal and state funds
as forms of financial aid for
students.
The St. Andrews Annual
Fund last year comprised
{608,949 of the annual total.
This amount exceeds by more
than $22,000 the previous
record of $586,678 reached in
1976-77.
“This achievement puts St.
Andrews near the top of un
dergraduate colleges in North
Carolina in fund raising,”
says J. Bruce Frye, Vice
Resident for Development
“And to exceed last year’s
performance was all the more
i remarkable when one realizes
' this was done during a period
of intensive capital cam
paigning with combined goals
of $8,000,000. This is a tribute
not only to the generosity of a
growing number of friends,
but to the hard work of
tnistees and many other
volunteer workers, and to the
college staff and faculty, all of
whom shared in achieving
such an overwhelming vic
tory.”
President Perkinson also
expressed gratitude towards
This
Week
the college community and the
Laurinburg community with
respect to the fund raising,
along with the wishes that this
year it will be even more
successful. The President
remarked that, in addition to
the success of the Annual
Fund, St. Andrews is expected
to receive a substantial
amount from the Senate of
North Carolina Campaign,
which involves religious in
stitutions. Already $172,000
has been promised.
Once again, the campus
campaign for the Annual Fund
will start the fund raising year
at St. Andrews. Dr. Julian
Smith is the 1978 chairman of
the campaign.
Bob DuUn, general chair
man for the Laurinburg
division of the Annual Fund,
comments; “The campus
campaign is a vital part of the
Laurinburg division. I am
most pleased that someone at
Dr. Smith’s dedication and
capability will provide^ the
leadership for this effort.”
The campus campaign will
be conducted during the first
two weeks of October and will
involved thirty volunteers. It s
goal will be to raise $12,000
towards the Annual Fund goal
of $525,000, the same amount
at which it was set last year.
In the words of Dulin, When
faculty, staff and other em
ployees are conm^d enou^
to give from $12sOOO to $15,000
to St. Andrews, that’s a
positive statement about the
institution.”
