Yesterday's drive totals were $5154.20 toward a $12,000 goal. William Klisanin, drive •chairman, cited three reasons for ex tension of the drive. 1. Returns to date are far below expectations 2. There has been misinforma tion concerning the drive among the solicitors. • 3. Many students have not yet been contacted. Murray Goldman, solicitation chairman, said he felt many stu dents do not realize the impor tance of the drive. He urged solicitors to strive for the indi vidual goal of $2 and asked con tributors to, wear the pins given to them when they pledged. Dorm Women Lead Officials said that there are at least 50 solicitors who have not yet reported their returns. The drive was to end tomorrow, but leaders decided to extend the deadline when it became evident the goal would not, be reached. A breakdown of contributions showed dormitory women, $1776.- 22; dormitory men, $1412.32; fra ternities, $1254.41; town me n, $527.75; cottages, $101; town wom en; $82.50. Beecher Home Management House reported 100 percent con tributions. Nancy Ferguson is so licitor. Chi Phi reported 186 per cent contribution, which is pos sible because percentage is figur led on the individual goal of $2. Samuel Nowell' is solicitor. Students may support the Chest by pledging money that will be added to...second semester fees, or by giving cash. Last year's two week drive fell short of its $14,- 000 goal by $2OOO.
