DIALING FOR i • LARS AND CANDY AND HELICOPTER RIDES AND . . . In mid-October, Sue Stebbins-Morrison had 4,032 Payday candy bars stacked in her office at Ca- tawba — and $247,395 in play money, 250 canary yellow T-shirts, four cases of Zero candy bars and two cases of $100-Grand bars. It was phonathon time. That ' s when about 200 Catawba students, aided by faculty, staff and alumni, raise money for profit and fun. Students lined up at tables during evening hours to telephone people from Burgaw to Brooklyn. Nearly 7,000 alumni were contacted during phon- athon between October 28 and November 20. Mrs. Stebbins-Morrison, a 1977 Catawba gra- duate, started what has to be one of the most creative fund-raising efforts at a college campus. Students earned play money for a job well done and it was used Nov. 21 at an auction. The stu- dents could bid for prizes like two nights at the Hilton Head (S.C.) Hyatt Regency Hotel or a round trip to New York with Broadway tickets for a cou- ple. 28
