The Combined Charities Drive deadline has been extended.
Four thousand dollars short of the total that campaign directors had anticipated for a four day period, Leonard M. Gordon '51, vice-chairman of the drive said last night, "We're going to keep going until we get as close to 100 percent as we think is humanly possible."
Late last night Gordon revealed that the 350 campaign volunteers had managed to bring in only $19,633.03. The main trouble we're having," Gordon said, "is getting 100 percent contact. Basketball games, hockey games, the "Messiah," are all keeping people out of their rooms," he added.
According to Gordon, this year's drive is still more than $2,000 ahead of last year's total at this time.
On the basis of Monday night's figures, the drive directors anticipated $23,000 by tonight. "We believed we could accomplish this because we had more men working than before," Gordon commented last night, "but we met the same problem they did last year."
