Deadline Changed

The deadline for the fund drive
was to have been today, but since
at least another $17,000 is still
needed the date has been moved up
to April 15. Rawles Jones, a
coordinator for the drive, stressed
that April 15 would not necessarily
be the final deadline; it is merely
the date on which the coordinators
of the drive would like to have the
necessary sum of money or pledges
in.

The deadline was extended also
because people who know about
fund raising are optimistic and
because the administration is planning
to throw its support behind
the program, Mr. Jones said "President
Shannon has said that he will
write a letter to be printed in The
Cavalier Daily urging students and
faculty members to contribute to
the transition program," Mr. Jones
continued.

The facets of the fund drive that
are now in operation are the drive
in the fraternities, sponsored by the
Inter-Fraternity Council, the drive
in the graduate and business
schools, and a drive among the
general student body and business
schools, which, since the fast days,
has only taken the complexion of a
public request for students to
contribute.
