Chambers Brothers
To Appear In Orlando
The Chambers Brothers wiU be
at the Orlando Sports Stadium,
tonight at 8:00 p.m.
The Folk-Rock Chambers
Brothers quintet have been on the
road steadily during 1969 to 1970,
including a second European
tour, a 10-week, 10-nation
spectacular success.
Everywhere they found keen
interest in American music,
American ideas, and peace.
"Young rock or folk music fans
today," said Lester, "are not
involved just in music. It's a
whole way of looking at life. They
want to know us and talk to us
about friendship and a better
world. Because of our records,
they know us — we're kind of a
connecting link for many kids
with other people around the
world."
"When we were in Fayette,
Mississippi, the night before:
Thanksgiving," recalled George
Chambers, "Mayor Evers had a .
reception for us in the restaurant,
and dozens of kids were waiting
for us when we got there and kept
peeking in the windows. They just
wanted to make sure we'd reaUy
gotten there.
"Those people — andl mean
white and black — don't reaUy
want much," said Lester, "but
they do want to be included in the
outside world. They feel like
they've been unfairly left out of
things. The police told us of our
concert was the best thing that
ever happened in Fayette."
"Got people together, eatin'
together, clappin' bein' happy
together."
The Brothers, with Lawrence's
help, plan to produce such shows
all over the South, gathering
together the plain folks and
giving them music and entertainment by performers
particularly admired in that
region.
"The whole world is. going to
change, because of things like
this," said Brian, forcefuUy and
firmly. "You watch theat TV film
made at Fayette, and you'U
understand.
"This isn't a revolution, it's a
solution. And we'll make it with
love, peace and happiness."
AU Stetson students wiU be
admitted free with their Student
I.D. card.
When you drive into the
stadium area, you don't have to
spend 50 cents to park, as they
make you believe. Go by the 50
cents area and park in front of the
stadium — it's free.
The Bridge
An Interview With Don Chauncey
The. foUowing is a partial
transcript of a recorded interview between Jack Rochford,
Campus Editor of the Reporter
and Donald Chauncey, House
Director of The Bridge. Its
purpose is to help clarify to some
extent, the purpose and function^) of The Bridge.
(ROchford) What is The.
Bridge?
(Chauncey) It is an
organization to try to eliminate
immediate crisis or immediate
panic whether it be through
telephone therapy or whether it
be.by having the person come in
and talk himself through the
crisis stage. The Bridge wiU be
available to aU who are in a
crisis.
(Rochford) In other words it is
an availability center.
(Chauncy) Right,, If somebody
has anything that is a problem —
which is reaUy anything that is
giving them a hard time — they
can come and talk it out and seek
a solution to it.'
(Rochford) What is the purpose
of The Bridge?
(Chauncey) The purpose of The
Bridge is to try to erase the panic
state and to try to match up
people and their needs.
HopefuUy, the Bridge wttl serve
to create some kind of force in
DeLand to help to better the
community in some way.
(Rochford) What is the
geographical scope of The
Bridge?
(Chauncey) WeU, the people
that we're going to try to be set up
to handle will be the people in
West Volusia. Daytona has so
much stuff already, that they
don't reaUy need The Bridge' as
much as the West Volusia area
does.
(Rochford) Are you associated
with any such other institutions,
(for example, the ones in
Daytona.)?
(Chauncey) We will refer
people to any existing agency in
Volusia County that we think the
person might need. Other than on
a referral basis we have no official connection with any other
institutions. We wiU refer people
..to the Half-way House if they
have a dope problem that they
are trying to break or if we get a
town kid who thinks he needs a
psychiatrist we wiU refer him to
the Guidance Center in Daytona
where they're set up to handle
things like this where people
can't afford to pay a regular
psychiatric fee. Other than that
we have no connection with
anything.
(Rochford) Who runs "The
Bridge?
(Chauncey) WeU, right now
John DuPree (who is the
President) and I run it. But once
we're setup the people who work
there wiU nm it. We have a Board
; of Directors of business-men
from the town. They are there
primarUy because our charter as
a non-profit; organization
requires that we have a Board of
Directors. They lend us
respectabiUty and they try to find
sources of income for The Bridge.
They wiU not take an active part
in the running of TheJEiridge.
(Rochford) As a non-profit
organization, are gifts to The
Bridge tax-deductible?
(Chauncey) Yes! But I think
we have to be in existance six
months or a year before we can
get our own tax-exempt status.
Right now, the Mental Health
Association of Volusia County is
kind of taking us under its wing
and if people want to give money
that is tax-deductible, they
should send it through the West
Volusia Mental Health
Association and ear-mark it to be
used for The Bridge.
(Rochford) Where does The
Bridge get its money besides
contributions?
(Chauncey) It doesn't. We
can't legaUy solicit contributions
for another couple of weeks when
our charter is approved and we
become official. So far, most of
our money comes from Stetson —
from the Student Government
Association. We've gotten a few
personal contributions and Dean
Turner has given us a bit every
now and then so that we can meet
our bills.
(Rochford) Where does the
money go?
(Chauncey) Right now it
doesn't go anywhere because
there isn't any; But when we get
the money, most of it wiU go for
running the house. We are trying
to operate on a budget of about
$3000 dollars per year. I think
we'll be able to get that much. We
want to have another phone put in
for outgoing calls but that wiU
have to wait until we get the
money. We want to keep the
