This project has been under the direction of Ronnie Metz, and though the com plete results can not be given yet as some of the affairs are being held this evening, it has been a marked success. In one group more than $100 was made from the sale of boxes. The goal of this year's WSSF drive is $1,000, the slogan being a dollar from every person. If the drive continues to be as success ful as it began the goal will be well surpassed. All fraternity and sorority houses are dispensing with the usual Monday night meetings by request of Panhellenic and the Interfraternity Council so mem bers can attend the address made by Mr. Fulton. Classes at Ag will be dismissed for the convocation if the students request it
