The Phillips Brooks House will reopen its fall clothing drive today in an attempt to increase the insufficient harvest yielded last week. There is a greater demand upon the social service department for discarded garments than ever previously, and the failure of the first collection campaign to reach the quota has made an unprecedented situation.
T. W. Lloyd '28, who is in charge of the drive, attributed the scarcity of the sartorial crop to local interest in the football season. It is supposed that many undergraduates were saving old hats and kindred impedimenta for the prosecution of the touchball season and for the finish of the New Haven encounter. Now that the Yale game is over, the economy program should be relaxed and the 125 canvassers on the Phillips Brooks field force will be launched anew with higher hopes for success.
Students are urged by the Phillips Brooks House to aid this charity by contributing old books, old hats, old suits, or any of their unnecessary heirlooms. Anything antedated is legitimate prey for the social service men. Trucks will call at each dormitory to collect the booty.
