The money was raised by an open house in Taylor Hall, re freshments in the various dorm^ homemade cakes and bread sold to faculty, funds raised from the sophomore carnival, a fac ulty volleyball game, and vol untary contributions. Miss Bob bie Jean Nicholson, Chemistry professor, and Jenny Munro, SGA chairman of the BAS com mittee, directed these activities.
