Student Fund Campaign Re-Schedule
By JESS MAGHAN
The beginning oi the student fund
campaign has been rescheduled to
begin Feb. 18, and will last until
March 11.
The student drive will be a sub
division of the College Family Gifts
Committee, which includes the Board
of Trustees, administrative staff,
faculty, and student body.
This committee will be the first
to be activated in the Campaign.
Solicitation is scheduled for early
completion so that their pledges will
serve as pace-setters for the gener
ous giving on the part of those less
closely related to the college.
Voluntary Basis
Pledging by students to this effort
will be strictly on a voluntary basis.
Large sums are not expected nor to
be sought. It is hoped, however,
that all students will want to pro
vide tangible evidence of the loyalty
CCA Is Planning
Netv T ype RE W eek
As was previously announced, the
Campus Christian Association is
sponsoring a new and experimental
type of program of religious empha
sis for this year. Several speakers
representing different fields of in
terest will be on campus during
the second semester. Each visitor
will be on the campus for a two-day
period, during which time he will
deUver a major address before the
entire student body relating his area
of interest to religion. For the re
mainder of the two days, each man
will be available for class visitation,
discussion groups, and individual
consultation with students and fac
ulty.
So far, three men have been se
cured, Dr. Winfred E. Garrison, who
®11 be here the latter part of this
month, will open the program. He
will relate the area of history to
religion. Dr. Garrison is a profes-
at the University of Houston and
is one of the most eminent men of
^e Disciples of Christ brotherhood.
He holds the Doctor of Philosophy
*iegree as well as a number of hon-
®3ry doctorates.
and appreciation for Atlantic Chris
tian College by giving something.
If the student drive is able to
generate a large percentage of par
ticipation, it will provide another
stimulus to generate the giving with
much greater financial capacity.
A convenient 36-month payment
period has been arranged. Each
donor’s pledge begins when he signs
his pledge card. The pledge can be
paid, however, annually, semi-ann
ually, quarterly, monthly, or accord
ing to any schedule the donor may
prefer.
Over 100 Students
According to a report by Hatten
Hodges, chairman of the student
division, more than ICO students have
already volunteered to work in the
campaign. These volunteers will
contact every member of the stu
dent body during the campaign and
discuss with them the various as
pects of the capital campaign and
the importance of the student pledge
in the drive.
The over-all campaign received
a tremendous stimulus last week
when $33,000 was pledged
