CORRECTION
The report of the State Board
at Higher Education recom-mending
appropriations for the
replacement of renovation of
Mclver Memorial Building to
the Advisory Budget Committee
of the General Assembly has
been clarified. Appropriations
for Mclver received a high pri-ority
rating in the building cate-gary,
which was one of seven
eaiet-ories set up. THE CARO-LINIAN
reported this as a num-ber
four priority on four dif-ferent
occasions, on the basis
of al that could be learned about
the report. We stand belatedly
corrected.

Results and Future
Plans of Purse Drive
The Purse-Drive goal of $3500
lacks $303.44 of being reached,

Is because the goal has nearly
been reached. According to Nelll.

Drive goal has been so nearly
reached in the two-week period, at
least since I've been here."
Also to supplement the fund,
a 'bargain box sale" will be held
around the first of November In
Elliott Hall lobby.
The first dorm to get its 100
per cent and even to go over the
top was Woman's Dorm. In the
next assembly program, Woman's
will receive a citation for its
achievement.

faculty auction sale Monday, Oc-tober
