Campus Chest Now Entering Second Year The Campus Chest,-Penn State's solution to repeated charity drives on campus, will enter its second year this fall. The chest is the consolidation of ten charity drives, having three purposes: 1. To emphasize the responsi bility of students and faculty to wards the charities and organiza tions benefited by the funds. 2. To minimize the duplicated efforts involved in separate fund raising • activities by asking for only one yearly contribution. 3. To establish a definite policy towards the operation of various fund drives on campus. There will be a meeting of the Campus Chest committee at 7 p.m. Tuesday in 303 Old Main. The organizations authorized to receive funds from the Campus Chest are the Penn State Christ ian Association, Women's Student Government Association, Christ mas Fund, World Student Service Fund, Scholargrain, State College Christmas fund, Salvation Army, Tuberculosis fund, March of Dimes, Leo Houck Cancer fund, and Heart drive. Solicitations for this year's chest drive will be made early this semester. Last year, a goal of $14,000 was set and each student was asked to contribute two dol lars. The drive missed its goal by $3500. Because of the Campus Chest, only one fund drive is made each year on, campus.
