\1CSA AT'HAPPY HILLS
A SPECIAL REPORT ON NCSA INVOLMENT IN THE .NEIGHBORING HAPPY HILLS COMMUNITY
There are some good motives and
many bad motives that attract outsiders
into lower-income areas to do their bit
in the "war on poverty." The confident
Panther says to "whitey" with ample
justification, I feel,, "work in your
own neighborhoods" - clean up your own
pig pen before you are qualifi.ed to
help me with mine. Taking a differ
ent view, the entire welfare system
for many years has said, with a loud
voice, "poor folk" aren't capable of
taking care of themselves - our way
is the better (purer) way. And le
gion upon legion of volunteers has
said to the poor, we want to save you
from your wretchedness.
The truth of the matter is that
few of these or many other voices
addressed to the poor have been heard.
Either the voices have been hallow
and devious or they have not known
the langueage. The few who have
succeeded (for lack of a better
word) have done so only as neighbors
(in the fullest sense of the word).
Among our neighbors, we at NCSA
must count many who are the children
of poverty, the invisible citizens of
the "other America." If we pretend
to be neighbors merely as so many
volunteers, we perpetuate the prob
lems. But if we are truly to become
neighbors, we must share what
we have, willing to give and receive
in return. Specifically, through art
we speak the universal language which
expresses fully and translates com
pletely.
Most likely the five students who
presented a concert at the community
center in Happy Hills Gardens last
Wednesday (March 11) would not go

Puccini opera.
Missouri-born Jeannine Crader .
made her operatic debut with the
San Francisco Opera. In Europe,-.•
in the past seasons, she has ha^/anfe
success after another, including-a'
spectacular debut in Milan as Tosca.
The critic of La Notte said of this
performance: "The star was Jeannine
Crader, endowed with beautiiful stage
presence and unsurpassable vocal
means".
Miss Cractex has woifi acclaim as
a sensitive i'nterpreter of art songs
and lieder and 4s n impressive
soloist in ^he great orchestral
works and Oj.atorios.
The New York Times has this to
say of Miss Crader's performance of
Tosca: "Her tones were clear and

PILLO^f

Dance Department has been invited
