College Misericordia appears to be well on its way toward a new library as team captains for the Golden Jubilee Cam- paign reported over a quarter of a million dollars raised in the drive to date. The report was filed by the campaign volunteers last week during the first general report meeting for the drive. Adding over $20,000 to the campaign total at the day of the meeting, the report indicated cash and pledges toiling $271, 236. The total'is expected to rise, according to a campaign spokesman, as additional re- ports are received from team captains not present at the meeting. At the same time, donations from alumnae con- tinue to arrive at the college, pushing the total higher nearly every day. The general report meeting reflected donations received by the campaign primarily from sources outside the general community, with the exception of area financial institutions support.
