Q RCC Potlatch Donations Go to id Area Needy The idea of Potlatch is based upon custom among the Indians of the Pacific Northwest. The tribe that gave the most gifts away was given the highest rank, disgracing and humiliating the other tribes. RCC modified the ancient ritual and shifted it to a method of collecting food for the needy. Potlatch was an opportunity for RCC club members, students and staff to contribute food for the needy in the Rochester area. Food was given through Christmas Anonymous and the Salvation Army. The Potlatch chiefs were Bob Steffes and Colin Brown. Colin Brown was the winner at the Potlatch ceremonies which were held November 20 in the College Center. Au- thentic Indian dancing was performed at the ceremony. Potlatch was organized last year by Michele Demro, Mr. Walter Bateman, original founder of Potlatch and Anthro- pology instructor, and designated committee.
