Dr. K«ri Peters
Planted Seed" Nearly a Crop Failure
On" April 17 the Rollins World
Hunger Committee sponsored a World
Food Day rally on the library lawn.
The program began at 11:00 a.m., at
which time a number of guest
speakers, along with students and
faculty from Rollins, gave 15 minute
speeches with music in between and
an open discussion at the end. The
theme was "Plant a Seed for Change"
and speeches were basically concerned with the alleviation of hunger
locally and around the world. In
addition to the rally, 240 Rollins
students signed pledges donating the
cost of their three meals to the World
Hunger Committee's "Food Bank."
The money was collected and then
donated by Roger Fry of Saga Food
Service who also donated a "peasant
lunch" for the students at the rally.
The rally closed with a seed planting
ceremony of cherry tomato seeds in
cups to be taken home where they will
serve as a reminder of the day and the
continual problem of world hunger.
The committee was formed as a
result of a World Harvest Day rally
last November. It's purpose was to
raise the level of awareness among
members of the college community
concerning the global situation of
world nunger, anu to promote conege-
wide involvement in the alleviating of
hunger in the central Florida areas,
and where possible, elsewhere in the
world. Made up of students, faculty,
staff and other concerned people, the
committee is responsible or answerable to the sub-committee on Community Relations of the College
Activities Committee.
The C.W.H. chairman is Karl Peters
who works with secretary Richard
Savid and treasurer Ed Danowitz.
Besides the rallies, the Committee has
established a special fund with the
'treasurer of the college called the
"Food Bank." The money for the fund
is collected from faculty contributions
payroll deductions and from students
who have fasted or donated at the
collection table in the Student Union.
The "Food Bank" will be used to
support some of the programs of the
Christian Service Center in Orlando,
the Apopka Migrant Ministries, and
even some international organizations
such as Oxfam America. The Rollins
Committee on World Hunger meets
every Monday at 12:00 in the French
House,

The pool party was a great success
last weekend despite a few problems.
We are all for having them next year
as often as possible. However there
are a few things which must be taken
into consideration. First, we are
spending the students, or rather, your
money for these projects, and any
extra expense comes out of our budget
for other things. The total cost for the
pool party was budgeted at about
$800. $600 of that was for the band and
the other $200 for the beer. We must
then add in some unexpected expenses. Pushing people in the pool
may be fun however it can be costly.
Alumnae win awards
Mrs. Raymond W. Greene and Mrs.
Gavino F. Colado, both graduates of
^he Rollins College Class of 1927, and
both residents of Winter Park, were
honored by their Alma Mater this
week when they became recipients of
the Rollins Alumni Service Award.
Charter awardees of the Alumni
Association presentation, the former
Rollins students were chosen as a
result of their faithful support to the
Rollins Alumni Association.
A nationally recognized Botannical
Artist, Mrs. Greene has been the
recipient of numerous horticulture
awards while also setting up illustrations and providing 300 line drawings
for the book Southern Flowers, Native
and Exotic.
Mrs. Greene also planned and
carried out the landscaping features
for the New Women's Horn.
building - which houses upperclass
women on the Rollins campus.
In 1939 Mrs. Colado, a distinguished
leader in the Girl Scouts of America
organization, served as State Supervisor of Nursery Schools and Registrar for the Country Day School in
Winter Park. Also, during the same
year she was named Executive Director of the Girl Scout Leaders Association. Since that time she has helped
unselfishley with Rollins Reunion
events whicH found her writing innumerable letters and acting as Class
Agent several times. Upon graduating
from Rollins Mrs. Colado went on to
Russell Sage College where she received her B.S. dejjjee in Physical
Education in 1930.
The Alumni Service Award presentations were made by Rollins
President Dr. Jack B. Critchfield.
The Student Center may end up
buying the person whose non-waterproof watch was destroyed when
guess what happened to her. And we
didn't take too kindly to the folks who
helped us clean up by stealing two
taps and a keg right at the end of the
event.
But really one must put these things
in perspective, right? These things are
bound to happen when people get
drunk, right? Wrong. Because we
can't afford it, frankly. Figuring the
price of the taps at $60 apiece, and the
watch at who knows what, a conservative estimate comes up with
about $200, a familiar figure. Because
that's what we spent on beer in the
first place. So a possible solution could
be to not have beer at the next pool
party, so we can afford these little
expenses. Or just cut this money out
of someplace else, and not be able to
show a particular movie, for instance.
It's your choice.
We cannot impress on you enough
that we at the Student Center spend
your money. If you don't like the way
we're spending it, come to our
meetings and tell us. Don't expect
someone else to do it, because I'll let
you in on a secret. We were publicly
criti/.ed for not advertisng our meetings, but since we have been the last
month, we have gotten no student
input, none. Not one student who isn't
a member of the Student Center has
shown up at our meetings.
So there are the facts. By forcing us
to buy new taps, a new keg, and a new
watch, you have cost yourself one
event on the Student Center calendar.
You just picked your own pocket to
the tune of $200. Rollins
