total budget for the association during
the fiscal year. J. S. DeTar, '25M,
will act as general .chairman of the
drive and the contributions will be
received in cash or pledges.

The organization's annual financial
drives in the past few years have
failed to attain the mark desired, and
the association has been finding itself
more deeply i debt fromyear to year.
The stabilization of the Student
Christian association and its con

this year's campaign.

speaking about the organization says,
