Areas , such as music, that aren't funded by big grants are especially hard hit with budget cuts. I feel a strong need to help them in any way I can. Thanks again, Charles Faulk </BLOCKQUOTE> Charles I can certainly appreciate where you're coming from, with this. But do you think for one moment that if someone had burned the middle of the football field, the university would spare no amount of money to repair the damage before the first game? It's a shame that sports drive the universities, but I guess that's the price we have to pay if we even want a job in the music schools. Wim </HTML>
