"I don't know of many other situations where you can find a Univer- sity professor working alongside a janitor and both benefitting from the other's knowledge," he added. CHILDREN AGES 5-8 at Rudolf Steiner school maintained their own in- dividual plots for six weeks beginning last spring. "Our main goal was to get the children out-of-doors in the springtime," coordinator Ruth Nilsson said. "But everything took about ;twice as rong as it would normally take. One little boy took 45 minutes to plant a row of beans," she added. Prpject Grow land is located at 11 sites on school board, church, city and government-owned property. "OUR ONLY permanent property is located at the three and one-half acre County Farm," Nichols explained. "But we're not guaranteed that the rest of the land will be available year after year." Nichols said he hopes the city Plan- ning Department's Parks and Open Space Plan would provide an oppor- tunity for establishing more permanent garden sites on public land. "THE CITY just doesn't contribute to our cause as much as it could," Nichols complained. "Today we pay insurance, mowing; plowing, and water costs. Out at our airport site we pay $80 just to get the water turned on. I'd like to see the city waive just such costs." According to Nichols, Project Grow started in 191. "We started with one garden for families from two neigh- borhoods and the idea spread like wild- fire," he said. Now Grow is governed by a 15-member volunteer board of direc- tors, a paid director, and two part-time. student assistants. Project Grow operates on a budget of $24,000, $6,000 of which is subsidized by the city, Nichols explained. The County Cooperative Extension Service con- tributes $2,000 a year and the remaining budget expenses must be met by the members themselves. "We hold fund raising events every year 'he added.

George Cavender, marching band conductor until 1978 and current direc- tor of development and school relations for the music school, said during his tenure, budget problems often existed. "I think it's a perennial problem that has been around for a long time." Cavender added that when the band needed money "we went out and earned it." Both Cavender and Reynolds pointed to Band-O-Rama (a concert featuring the University's major bands) and per- formances at high schools as ways to make money that have been employed by the band. "A lot of people think the band shouldn't do that," (hold fund-raisers) Cavender said, "but that's personal philosophy." "I know they (money problems) are not indigenous to our band alone," he explained. "The problem is becoming more and more intense. I can seea time in the future when bands do not travel."
