Axford announced that $10,227.42 had been received at chest headquarters as of yesterday with all but a few solici tors reporting. By the time all the money is turned in, the total will probably reach $10,500, he said. Student contributions to the chest amounted to $7897.02 while faculty and college personnel do nated $2330.40. Axford said that complete figures and the amounts each organization will receive from the drive will be available early next week. Approximate Breakdown The approximate amounts each will receive, however, are as fol lows Penn State Christian associa tion, $5,000; Women’s Student Government association’s Christ mas fund, $500; World Service fund, $1000; Scholargram, $700; State College Christmas fund, $100; and Salvation Army, $5OO .In addition, the Tuberculosis fund, the March of Dimes, the Leo Houck Cancer fund, and the Heart drive will share about $l7OO. $3OO will go to a work ing fund for the chest. The drive was originally sched uled to be held from Oct. 29 un til Nov. 4 but was extended one week for the benefit of the-solici tors who were unable to contact students in the allotted time. Budgets Curtailed The failure of the chest to make the goal will mean a curtailment in the budgets of several organi zations in the chest, the most no table being the PSCA. The sum it will receive will be about $l3OO under its budget. This was the first year for the campus chest drive on this cam pus. In former years, the group;, participating in the drive each held their own solicitation for funds separately. The campus chest will be the sole drive for funds on campus this year.
