Danforth Chapel Drive
Falters to Near Stop;
No Future Plans Laid
Although more than $20,000 short of its original goal, the Dan
forth Chapel Drive has been almost at a standstill since last spring,
and there are no definite plans for a future drive, reported Univer
sity Chaplain Robert Ayers yesterday.
The spring drive fell short of its
$5,000 goal, and since the beginning
of the fall quarter only $1,017 has
been donated to the project.
Funds toward the chapel current
ly total $14,362.79, Including the
$10,000 contributed by the Danforth
Foundation. About $35,000 is needed
for the building which is to be locat
ed on Ag Hill between Soule and
Snelling halls, Ayers said.
No Commit tec Meeting
The original committee set up to
make plans to raise the money for
the interfaith chapel has not met this
year, but Ayers said he hoped to get
il "back in action" for the spring
quarter. Nothing definite has been
planned, however, added Ayers.
There is no record in the chap
lain’s office of a student committee
to direct a drive on campus, and
Ayers said he would like to get a
good number together to "do some
thing” before the end of spring.
Koinonia, pre-ministerial fraterni
ty, acted as steering committee for
the drive last year. Chaplain Ayers
