College Charities Behind Last Year, Chairman States

Although contributions to the Combined Charities Drive have exceeded $3,800 in the first two days of the annual Drive, David M. Dorsen '56, co-chairman of the Drive reported that total contributions are running slightly behind last year's total for the same period.

Eliot House added another $300 to the $523 it donated yesterday to move far into the lead in the College.

Next in line are Adams and Lowell, each with over $600. "Kirkland and Winthrop are lagging far behind," a Committee spokesman said last night. Each is well under $200.

A novel phase in this year's drive is the use of IBM machines to sort cards turned in by donors, Dorsen stated. The machines, located in the basement of Littauer, will help in the process of sorting out bad checks.
