Contributions Total $22,600 In Food Drive

Standing $2,400 short of their $25,000 goal, more than 13,000 members of the University community contributed $22,600 during an intensive three-week campaign to help feed under-nourished students abroad, Food Relief Committee leaders disclosed late last night as they officially wrote finis to the Second Emergency Food Drive.

Boosted by this new contribution, University food relief totals for the period from May 1946, to March, 1947, soared to $38,000, nearly twice as much as any other university has given during the same length of time.

Bucking serious competition in the form of a Red Cross campaign, 150 student soliciters were termed by Campbell "solely responsible for the sucess of the drive." He pointed out that the weak link in the collections chain was the mailed requests, and that "if we had it to do over again, we would solicit every member of the University personally."

Money Already Divided

The Committee has divided the money equally among Austria, Poland, Greece, and China, except for specially earmarked contributions that have been apportioned as directed, and $4000 that has been allotted to the Salzburg Student Seminar and Rest Center. Funds will be channeled immediately to the World Student Service Fund in New York, for transference abroad.
