"I thought it was impossible for a small college to have such a good program, out in a place where-as an Easterner-! expected they would literally roll up the streets at night and let the cows graze on the grass. When I first visited Lawrence, I met Theodore Cloak and was very im­ pressed with him, and that opinion of him never changed over the next four years." Both of these Lawrentians lead somewhat unpredictable lives. Jones notes that he goes where (and when) the good jobs come to him, and that he's "avoided the cab-driving and waiting on tables-thank God for unemployment." And Spangenberg explains that " I take as much time off between jobs as I can, because once I start work there isn't much rest. It's a long day, often ten hours of work, and usually Sunday is the only day off in a week." But the unpredictability can have frequent, and occasionally ironic, rewards. Spangenberg finally got to see the complete Amadeus, on a rare Saturday off, in a state-of-the-art theater in Los Angeles-where, never­ theless, the projector broke down three times. " We just walked out; it was too frustrating," she recalls.

Lawrence announces $35 million fund campaign APPLETON, WIS.­ OCTOBER 26, 1984 Lawrence President Richard Warch an­ nounced today a $35 million fund campaign at a 10:30 a.m. press con­ ference held on campus. The Lawrencu Ahead campaign began quietly on October 22, 1982 when the board of trustees voted to undertake the largest and most am­ bitious fund campaign in Lawrence's 138-year history. With more than $20 million already pledged or contributed, the public phase of Lawrencu Ahead officially started with this morning's announce­ ment. The five year campaign will conclude in October, 1987. This effort represents one of the largest fund drives in the history of Wisconsin higher education.
