by Verna Gates
Recently St. Mary’s has
welcomed a new member to
its staff. Mr. Mike C. Dunne
will serve at St. Mary’s as a
professional fund-raiser to
help us pay off our $2 million
debt. Mr. Dunn^ comes to us
highly recommended from
Fund-Raising Associates, Inc.
of Chattanooga, Tenn. He has
helped to raise money at such
schools as St. Timothy s
Episcopal School in Raleigh;
Holy Innocence Episcopal
School in Atlanta, Ga.; and
the College of William and
Mary. Mr. Dunne is a native of
Chattanooga, is married, and
has two boys, ages three and
five.
Mr. Dunne plans to launch
what he calls an information
program. This program will
be run by volunteers who will
serve as hosts of meetings.
These hosts will take the St.
Mary’s story to key leaders in
the state to get them in
terested and involved in the
school. Once this is ac
complished, these hosts will
go back and ask these people
if they want to invest in St.
Mary’s, the dividends being
the betterment of society
through St. Mary’s women.
Dr. Rollie Tillman,
chairman of the Board of
Trustees, has been chosen as
the volunteer chairman of the
fund-raising program. His
duty is to recruit hosts
throughout the state and; with
them, to make up a list of
The Energy Crisis
people to invite to their
meetings. This list will include
past donors, alumni, parents
and grandparents of students,
and the chairmen of cor
porations and foundations.
The host in a particular
town will set up a meeting or a
dinner party or something
similar for a small group of
these people. He (or she) will
talk with them and get to know
them. Later the host will give
a slide presentation of St.
Mary’s and have another
person (such as an alumni or a
student) talk about St. Mary’s
and what it means to them.
SMC programs will be
discussed and the group will
be asked to offer suggestions
and otherwise become in
volved.
Money will be asked for at
the next visit. These people
are approached as investors
(the great-American-way)!
St. Mary’s has performed its
duty of education of women
for nearly 140 years, and will
continue to produce with
donors’ help. The donors are
given the feeling that they are
investing in society and in the
future.
The entire eight-month
program headed by Mike
Dunne will cost St. Mary’s in
the neighborhood of $75,000.
Let’s hope that we can pay for
it and come up with the extra
money we need to keep St.
Mary’s and the Wachovia
Bank on good terms with each
other!

Our energy crisis is no
longer news, but having our
own organization to work to
conserve energy is. CARE
(Conserve All Resources and
Energy) has been operating
on campus since the begin
ning of February. Everyone in
the campus community is a
member of CARE. The core of
Student Body Approves Amendments
Recently, there has been a
great effort made by tte
LegislativeBodyofSt.Mary^
to revise and amend tte
constitution, not only for the
benefit of the SGA
but for the entire student body
3S W6ll.
Vice-president SuzanM
Owens, acting chairman of
Ledge Body, is also the
chairman of the Constitutional
Committee within the
legislative body. (Anyone with
questions concerning eiteer of
these facets of the student
government should consult
her article in the last issue of
the “Belles.”)
A number of amendmente
(all of which were approved)
have now been add®d; of
course, these new additioiK
will enable more students to
be involved in the legislative
side of school life. This,
however, is not their primary
function.
With these amendments,
the responsibilities of each
SGA office wiU be greatly
reduced. The duties of each
officer will be reorganized and
re-distributed; specific duties
may now be designated to
specific people. All of this
helps clarify the purpose of
the Student Government
Association and its officers; to
maintain and better every
aspect of St. Mary’s life and
all that it stands for.
Although all of the
petitions passed, they are
certainly still subject to
change. In order to introduce
an amendment, however, this
proc^ure must be followed:
1. The amendment must
be written and presented as a
petition.
2. It must go through the
Constitution Committee.
3. Next, it must be passed
in Ledge Body.
4. Two-thirds of the
student body must then agree
with its passing, with a
majority voting.
5. Finally, the president of
the college must approve it.
During spring break, the
constitution was recopied,
updated, and amended by the
chairman of the committee. It
will appear in next year’s
handbook.
It is a huge responsibility
and a difficult task to reform
the governmental proceedings
of any organization. Susanne
Owens and the members of
the Constitution Committee
deserve special thanks for
their undertaking.
CARE consists of Alice
Greiner, coK>rdinator; Ellyn
Faircloth, student
representative; Grover
Mayberry, maintenance
representative; Tom Johnson,
administrative represen
tative; and Harriet Ammann,
faculty representative.
More and more members
of the St. Mary’s community
have become actively in
volved in making CARE’S
goals a reality. Energy
consumption on campus is
being analyzed and a large
poster of month-by-month
consumption has been placed
in Ragland. Skits at Monday
assemblies have been used to
show ways in which energy is
consum^ and to teach ways
that energy can be sav^.
Accomplishments are being
reported as they occur, and
existing problems are being
reported and suggestions are
being received.
Awareness, concern, and
work by the members of
CARE is needed for continued
success in saving resources
and energy. If yon notice
waste, if you have good ideas
which can save, if you have
time and talents to contribute,
contact anyone in the CARE
committee. You will find
yourself involved and
CAREing!
