The campaipi is not closed, and considerable activity is expected in Eastern Carolina during the month of October. By Thanksgiv ing, November 23, the drive will probably be ended, and it is hoped that the goal of $350,000 will he reached. Miss Margaret Hopkins, secretary of the Alumnae Associa tion, said, “Returns have not come in as promptly as expected. How ever, we have reason to believe we will reach our goal by November 23.” FIXANCIAIj figures The total contributions to date are $152,000. The city of Raleigh, including the alumnae, have con tributed $57,300, going way beyond their goal of $52,000 made in July. The total alumnae goal is $70,000. Exclusive of Raleigh, contributions have reached $47,444.30; and the Raleigh alumnae have given a total of $7,952.50, thus bringing the con tributions to $55,396.80. ORGANIZATION The campaign is divided into five separate organizations, which are the Diocesan, Alumnae, and Parents Committees, the city of Raleigh, and ' special gifts. The Rt. Rev. Edwin A. Penick is chairman of the Dio cesan Committee with Rev. I._ Hard ing Hughes acting as the Diocesan Clerical Director. Mrs. Louis V.
