October 6-19, 1975 Gala lo benefit RIT A Bicentennial tribute to the American melting pot will combine hundreds of exhibits gathered by Sibley's from throughout the world with displays and working demonstrations of R IT students. The October Sibley's Gala with the theme "A Nation From Nations" is a salute to ethnic groups who built the nation and more specifically central and western New York. Sibley's will donate proceeds from its look to the past for an investment in the future through R IT's 150th Anniversary Campaign Scholarship Fund. "Over 40 per cent of R IT's students receive scholarship aid and this assistance becomes increasingly important in light of today's economy," noted Betty Gocker, vice-president of the lnstitute's Women's Council and R IT chairperson for the Gala. "We are delighted with Sibley's generosity in sponsoring this exciting event to benefit the scholarship program," Mrs. Gocker said. Gala guests will have an opportunity to see furniture makers, potters, makers of stained glass, pewter and hollow are, weavers of cloth and baskets, and siLversmiths--all from R IT's internationally recognized School for American Craftsmen. Sculpture-as-you-watch will be the contribution of R IT's Department of Food Administration and Tourist Industries Management as they chisel the bust of an Indian and other shapes from blocks of ice. While other students show trappings from the past, the drama group from R IT's National Technical Institute for the Deaf will recreate the times with improvisations on an historical theme. Their production entitled "US" is an original drama created Similar experiences are shared by all persons, including both the hearing and the deaf.
