a meeting Wednesday at 5 p. m.

emphasized the importance of re
porting progress in the drive.

are asked to try to better this
mark before the Wednesday
meeting.
After freshmen and teachers
have been asked to join the YW,
entering upperclassmcn and mem
bers will be asked, to join or con
tribute in an attempt to make up
for the difference between the
total amount taken in so far and
the goal.
Campus expenses total more
than twice the amount allotted in
the goal. With the campus con
tributing $1,000, the rest of the
money needed is secured from the
community chest.
