By Reeta Roy
The College Christian Union
sponsored a volleyball game
to raise money for Joshua
Brooks, who needs a liver
transplant within three mon
ths. That night’s match, won
by the faculty (15-4), raised
over $80 for the Brooks
Fund. According to Fred
Henley, “It was great to see
everyone there. The players
and crowd had an exciting
time.” One of the referees,
Eva Pittman commented,
“The game showed that peo
ple did care for Joshua.
There was a big turnout, and
I enjoyed it tremendously.”
Causes like Joshua’s have
allowed the campus to ex
press their care and sensitivi
ty. Kamala Jones observed,
“It felt good to do something
for Joshua. Some people
donated money even though
they couldn’t make it, and
some paid $2 even though the
price had been lowered to
$1.” Penny Cunningham
hoped that “it’ll make a dif
ference.”
The C.C.U. extends a special
thanks to the following peo
ple for their generous sup
port: Eva Pittman, Kelly
Aker, and Elaine Kelly for
refereeing; Murray Hall and
Hunter Wingate for “flagg
ing”’ Wilson Goodson for
his publicity shots; Mr. Mar
shall Hearns and Mr. John
Maulrsby for setting up the
gym; and the students and
faculty who were at the
game.

burg area. “A group home is
an establishment above an
institution, which provide
it’s residents with oppor
tunities to relate with “nor

Lawrence Smith. Lawrence
has had three years of ex
perience working with men
tally retarded people.
Cynthia stated that the home
is “a next step into society.”
The committee is sharing
with the residents pursuing
specific ways to spend their
leisure time. “We are trying
to key in on their individual
needs and interests. 1 hope
we can make more use of St.
Andrews’ facilities like the
gym and Fan igo,” said
Cynthia. “Many of the com
mittee members have gained
a better understanding about
various individual needs, not
necessarily restricted to the
group homes, but other
human beings.”
