Blood Pledges Rise to 1800 As Eliot Leads Other Houses

After a slow start, PBH blood solicitors have collected pledges for 1800 pints of blood, enough to extend their drive until Monday, a spokesman said last night.

Eliot, with 48 percent of its members pledging 226 pints, leads the House contributions. Close behind are Dunster and Leverett with 39 and 38 percent respectively. The progress of the drive reached its peak last night when over 450 pints were pledged.

Charles S. LaMonte '56, co-chairman of the drive, said he was pleased with the progress of the drive and the interest shown by the students so far.
