Contributions of $845 from Dunster House paced last night's total of $6242 gathered in the first stage of the University-wide drive sponsored by the Food Relief Society.
This is 30 percent of the College goal, the committee revealed and is "twice the amount collected on the first night of last year's campaign."
Canvassing will continue until everyone has been approached, as last night's activities reached only 22 percent of the student body.
Mall Returns Arriving
Results on the success of the drive in the entire University are not yet available, as the members of the faculty and Graduate Schools are being solicited by mail, and the letters are just beginning to flow in.
The amounts collected in the various Houses are as follows: Dunster, $845; Winthrop, $713; Lowell, $672; Kirkland, $607; Eliot, $602; Adams, $597; Leverett, $434; and the Yard and other dormitories, $1773.
One canvasser reported that he got one contribution only by buying tickets to a firemens' ball that someone else had tried to sell him.
