'' "Of course the domitory repre sentatives understand that the large majority of the veterans are anx iously awaiting their substistenee cheeks, but we hope the temporary lacak of funds will not deter them from making their pledges," Mr. Lusley stated. Ordinarily, students signing their pledge cards are requested to pay half at the time they sign and the remainder by November 12. How ever, all pledges will be gratefully received in any case and arrange ments can be made with the Chest representative to pay whenever con venient. Single Drive The outstanding feature of this year's drive is that it is incorporat ing many different nationally known and recognized drives into just one. This consolidation will be appreci ated when students are reminded that in 1!>41 Guilford College had seven different drives on the campus ranging from the Salvation Army to Bundles for Britain. This innovation should prove to be successful in that students will only lie asked for one contribution this year and that single donations will be split into four different, worthwhile agencies. The American Bed Cross, the American Friends Service Committee, World Students Service Fund and the Greensboro Community Chest will all profit by money pledged to the Campus Chest Drive. Another aspect that may be con strued as a bit different from the ordinary drive is that if the contrib utor should entertain any partic ular desire to help one of these organizations more so than another, he is permitted to check the par ticular relief work that he wishes his money to help. As an example, if John Jones wishes to donate If.'! and checks the Bed Cross, the American Friends Service Commit tee and the World Students Service Fund, then each of these worth while relief agencies shall receive $1 apiece. Chapel Talk Recalled Students will remember the talk given by Miss Eleanor Durham in Chapel period a few weeks ago in which she stressed the almost in credulous needs of the school chil dren of war ravaged Europe and Asia, fart of the money raised on Guilford's campus will go to the organization Miss Durham repre sented : the World Students Serv ice Fund. With headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, their world wide motto is well worthwhile pon dering, "There is 110 quarrel be tween the youth of the world." "I certainly hope that the Gull- I ford students will contribute as much as they feel they can afford to part with. Last years drive un dertaken for the World Students Service Fund averaged only fifty cents per person throughout the United States. This year, more than ever before, students all over the world are depending upon your sup port and we can't let them down after what they've done for us. Books and buildings are what they need now and with your help and cooperation we can see that they have both," Mr. Basley concluded. Dormitory representatives are: Founders Hall, Eldora Ilaworth; Mary Ilobbs Hall, Bachel Thomas; 'The Pines, Eleanor Corneilson; Cox Hall, Jack White; Archdale Hall, John Charles Bush; day students, Jim Bouectae; pre-fabs, Grimsley Hobbs.
