With drums pounding, students paint

Michelangelo never had it so good.
About three dozen students got some encouragement on Saturday while they repainted a large mural outside the Hamilton Hill Arts Center: the pounding rhythms of African drums courtesy of the Center's African drum troupe, who were practicing inside for their fall show. "It's really neat," observed one student. "Music while we paint."
The students were among an estimated 200 from the College who took part in the eighth annual John Calvin Toll Day to serve the city.
John Calvin Toll Day is supported by Al Hill, a 1946 Union graduate, and his wife, Perrie. Toll was the great, great grandfather of Hill, a retired attorney from Buffalo. The Hills created the fund to encourage Union students to undertake volunteer service. "We believe that the experiences from this activity will carry over beyond graduation and enrich not only those they serve but also the volunteers," Hill said.
