United Givers Drive
Ends In Success

On 9 October, with the help of The Cavalier Daily,
President Shannon appealed to you, on behalf of the United
Givers Fund, to meet our goal of $47,500 in the 1969 drive as
the University's share of the community's need for $355,000.

Now Mr. Ralph W. Cherry, Chairman of the University
Division, has reported on behalf of his 70 fellow workers the
receipt from you in gifts and pledges of $51,318, a total of
nearly 110% of our assigned quota! Student and staff workers
were especially effective in achieving this splendid result. The
Chairman mentions with special gratitude the campaign work
of Mr. Peter Ricciardelli of the Student Union and those who
worked with him.

All of you in this campaign have had an opportunity to
express in a tangible way your concern for our fellow men
the same kind of concern which brought help from members
of the University community for the relief of flood-ravaged
Nelson County. The response has been superb, and you have
helped to make this community a better place. For this I am
happy and grateful.
