Edge asks students to come help tutor students in the "slums of this city" that need help. Transportation is offered to any student that is willing to sacrifice his or her time to help those that are in need and less fortunate. “There is not excuse for the good people on this campus not to come out and help us," Edge wrote.

Federal funding contributed one million dollars to build a dormitory on campus during the one year the university signed up for federal funding. Prior to that year, the board of trustees blocked the university from applying for federal funding. The federal proposal involves a part time exchange program for "negro" students and faculty from the Virginia Union University. A similar exchange of faculty was examined between Virginia Union and the all-white Methodist Randolph Macon College. No comment was received from Virginia Union officials on the issue. Student teachers were going to be pushed into the Richmond public school system. Placements into the school will be done after considering the wishes of the student, faculty, and the university. A current federal study showed that there were only 2 black students out of 2587 students.

Henderson, was on board with the idea of having a faculty exchange with the University of Richmond. President of the University of Richmond, George Modlin, had no comment on the possible exchange or a recent federal notification ordering the university to integrate in order to receive further federal funding. Both the universities are Baptist affiliated. VUU, a historically black university (HBCU), had dozens of white students and faculty while UR, a predominantly white and segregated school, had only two black students. VUU was currently carrying out a similar exchange program with the the all-white Methodist Randolph Macon College which only had one or two black students and no black faculty. The government suggested that UR should also send some of its student teachers to practice in black schools in the Richmond Public School system. This talk of desegregation resurfaced the hesistance shown by University official during accepting federal funding.The federal government threatened to pull out the federal funding to the school if UR failed to integrate. UR only recently received its federal funding of one million for dormitory construction after long discussion and consultation with the major Baptist bodies associated with the university.

Beth Marschak grew up in Richmond and was actively engaged in the social change movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s- Civil Rights, the Women’s Liberation Movement, the Ecology Movement, the Peace Movement, and Lesbian and Gay Liberation. In her early years, she lived in Lakeside, a white working class neighborhood, then her family moved to the far west end. She came out as a lesbian in the early 1970’s, and openly identified as a lesbian in her civil rights and human rights activism. <img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/MarschakBeth_1971-01.jpg" alt="" /> By the time she graduated from Westhampton College, University of Richmond, with a BA in political science in 1972, Beth had already helped to start a women’s group on campus, and a local chapter of the National Women’s Political Caucus. She actively engaged with SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) for many marches and other actions and was an active member of the Woody Guthrie Community Center. She participated in Gay Awareness in Perspective and helped to start Richmond-Lesbian Feminists in 1975. Beth was instrumental in starting a number of coalition efforts including the Virginia Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights (VCLGR) and the Richmond Lesbian and Gay Pride Coalition. Starting as a representative of the Lesbian Caucus, Beth served on the National Steering Committee of the National Women’s Political Caucus for 16 years. Here in Richmond, she served on the Board of the Richmond YWCA for 8 years. In 1978, she was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to the International Women’s Year Continuing Committee. And, in 1988, as a Jesse Jackson Delegate, she served as the first “out” Virginia delegate to a national presidential convention. <img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/MarschakBeth_2019-02.jpg" alt="" /> Beth Marschak’s work and advocacy garnered the Richmond Human Rights Coalition Human Rights Award in 1983, and the Richmond YWCA Outstanding Woman of the Year Award in Human Relations in 1990. The Richmond Lesbian and Gay Pride Coalition recognized Beth with awards in 1990, 1993 and 1999. In 2008, Beth co-authored the book Lesbian and Gay Richmond.
