Coeds To Give
To Red Cross
Contributions To Be Collected
In All Women's Residences
Collection of funds for the Red
Cress has begun in all women's
(lormitories, sororities, and league
houses, Jean Gaffney. League Treas-
urer, said yesterday.
The collections are being carried on
through presidents of the various
residences, and every coed living in
an organized house will be asked to
give to the American Red Cross.
"The Committee suggests that
every coed give about $1," Miss Gaff-
ney said. She said that no quotas
however, had been set for individuals
or houses. Last year Michigan women
were asked to contribute $L25 each.
'ithe money collected in the annual
Red Cross membership drive goes to
finance the activities of the American
and International Red Cross. A por-
tien of each dollar collected is re-
tained in the United States for emer-
gency services in case of any sort of
disaster. Part of the money is used
to finance Red Cross activities which
help to relieve suffering in all parts
of the world.
House presidents were reminded by
Miss Gaffney that lists and envelopes
must be turned in Tuesday at the
League.
