The goal of the campaign is' $5,000
which is less. than one-fourth the
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.

plans to form new discussion groups

mittee make regular hospital visit-
ations giving aid to individuals when
necessary; to continue the reading

to furnish meeting places for various
campus organizations.
Under religious work, the associ-j

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

tent, therefore, upon the success of
this year's campaign.
President Marion L. Burton, in
speaking about the organization says,
