The Campus Purse Drive train is
extending its stop at Administration
Station for one week longer in order
to recruit ten more engineers for Its
crew and $1,500 more towards its goal.
100 Percent Dorms
Conductor Frankie Taylor announ-ced
Tuesday that Cotton. Shaw and
South Spencer are the latest one hun-dred
per cent contributors to the
drive, joining Coit. Wlnfleld. Weil and
Kirkland. who previously attained
their goal However, even though the
majority of the students have contrib-uted,
the donations have not been
high enough—the receipt books show
one contribution of four cents and
several of less than ten cents. Thus
only $3,027 74 of the $4,500 goal has
been collected. The average share of
each dorm Is $275.00, and by Tues-day
night no dorm had given that
much. Service League representatives,
in an attempt to alleviate this situa-tion
at house meetings Monday night
urged each girl who has not bought a
full fare on the Campus Purse Drive
train to contribute more.
Use of Fund
The extra dollar that Woman's Col-lege
students spend within a week for
movie tickets, cokes, and sandwiches
at the Soda Shop, or WC pennants and
wall would go a long way toward en-abling
the drive to reach its goal.
Those extra dollars would be carried
around the world through Care. Com-munity
Chest, American Friend* the
American Heart Association, and for-eign
Itudentl scholarship fund;-thus
transporting the name of Woman's
College from the walls and notebooks
on this campqp to the hearts of
friends throughout the world and the
added pounds which our students ac-quired
from those cokes and milk-shakes
to those who are starving in
Europe and Asia.
