March of Dimes drive fell $740
shy of its $8,000 goal this year,
but outran the 1954 campaign by
nearly $1150.
This amount doubled the total
raised last year, Bill Auld, Athens,
APO treasurer, has revealed. The
contest netted $2,260 as compared to
slightly over $1,000 in last year's
fund drive, records show.
Alpha Epsilon Pi won honors for
contributing the most money among
campus organizations, raising $575.
According to last year’s records,
only throe groups raised enough mon

APO. This year five organizations,
AEPi, Tau Epsilon Phi, G-Club, Reed
Hall and Pi Beta Phi, won recogni
tion for their donations, contribut

raised in the entire 1954 campaign.

ticipating organizations for the co
operation they showed all through
the course of the campaign."

Selections included tn the

agent in the Music Corporation of
America, in New York, told Seller
that Cugat has said that he will defi
nitely not play here, and that he will
play for the Piedmont Driving Club
in Atlanta on that same date.
' Plans are being made by the IFC
to take legal action against Cugat
if he breaches the valid contract. If
necessary, “we will take out an in
junction against him to prevent his
appearing at the Piedmont Driving
Club,” Seiler said.
The reason for Cugat’s breaking
the contract, Corburn explained, was
that Cugat was "unhappy because
he did not get immediate response
on the contracts” from sponsoring
organizations, the IFC and G-Club.
Seiler stated that the contract dead
line was Feb. 18 and that the con
tracts with the deposit was mailed
from Athens last # Tucsday, Feb. 15.
In the telephone conversation today,
Corburn said that he had not re

for a higher price than Cugat. Also,
If Kaye plays for the dance, it will
be necesary for him to conduct his
