Only One More Day to Solicit
Salary Goal Far Distant.
With less than a day left to reach
the $1900 goal, the teams soliciting

are working hard. $965 had been
pledged when the captains of tb.9

At that time the Freshman com

of $175 pledged and Olive Hartley's
team ranked second with $124.50 to its
credit. Thirty? girls compose the
Freshman commission team, while
each of the other teams including Misa
Hartley's is composed of ten.
The teams have a card catalog of
all the girls in the University and arj
checking off the names of the girls as
they solicit them. Monday noon, when
over half the $1900 had been pledged.
less than half the girls had been sollc.
ted. In speaking of this Miss McKin-
non declined to make any prediction
in regard to the outcome, because she
had no way of knowing how the re
sponse of those who had.. then been
solicited would compare with the re
sponse of those who the girls had sol
idted.
