350 Volunteers Will Work on Combined Charities Campaign

College Drive Starts Monday

When the Student Council opens its Combined Charities drive on Monday, it will have the largest active working force in recent college history.

The Council has recruited 350 volunteers in an attempt to better the college wide charity drive record.

Although the campaign directors have not disclosed their actual goal, they will canvass every house in the college with the hope of receiving $10 from every student.

The theme of this year's drive is "assistance to students all over the world." Chosen because the Council "believes Harvard students have a responsibility to their loss fortunate follows in various corners of the world," the drive slogan is: "They need you."

Exclusion of other national charities in the specified list of fund recipients is a feature new to this year's drive. The Council decided on this course "not because it considered these causes unimportant, but because at the present time the plight of the student's of the world was deemed more immediate."

Three causes which will receive money from the campaign may be observed in action during the year. Two of the three aid Harvard students almost exclusively, while the third, Phillips Brooks House, acts in the interest of Boston's underprivileged as well as undergraduates.
