Service Drive
Hits New Low;
$350 Donated
Fund Chairman Blames
Campus Apathy in Drop
From 1954-55 Record
The University’s World Univer
sity Service Fund drive hit an all
time low this year with a $350 to
tal, Miss Miini Thurmond, assist
ant chaplain, said this week.
Last year the University’s WUS
drive led the nation with a $1,800 to
tal. Competition for the WUS tro
phy, which brought active participa
tion from all campus organizations,
was killed by a Panhellenic Council
ruling forbidding solicitation in so
rorities, Miss Thurmond said.
Miss Kathryn Fricks, WUS com
mittee chairman, said sororities had
been leaders in the drive last year.
Met Disappointment
Committee members said they met |
disappointment at every attempt to
get the drive going. They had planned
a girl’s football game and had se
cured permission from the dean of
w’omen and the director of student
activities, but after permission was
granted the women’s physical educa
tion department ‘‘would not co
operate.”
Then it was decided to promote j to ‘‘• T he Lady’s Not for Burning,
a men’s freshman-sophomore football University drama production.
