Approximately 14 organizations have sent in their $10 fees and the CCC grand tally is $500.
“Today is the final day for collections. Let's open up our hearts and our pockets and contribute to these worthy charities," said Delano Martins, CCC collection chairman.
“Our goal Is $3,000 for the year,” said Martins. “We shall be very satisfied if we make at least one-third of our goal this week.”
Members of some 28 fraternities, sororities, and independent, organizations are volunteering their time to criss-cross the campus in a drive which this year switched from a collection of goods to a monetary campaign.
The funds will be distributed three ways. Fifty per cent will go to the United Fund and 25 per cent each will be giver to World University Service and the Community Talent Search, a project sponsored by the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students.

Alpha Phi Omega, national men’s service fraternity, received “more than 200 pints of blood” in its semi-annual Blood Drive, announced APO President Jack Katzker.
Organizations who contributed $10 and supplied workers for the drive are eligible to win spirit points.
In addition, one point will be give for each $25 collected by a worker.
The first in a series of three events planned to raise money this year, the CCC drive will be followed by a carnival and a variety show.
Cami-gras, a UM wide carnival-type function, will be held in mid-April while a variety show consisting of 10 to 15 skits given by organizations which have been chosen to perform will follow soon after.
Because of what Katzker termed+ “an overwhelming turnout of Reserve Officer Training Corps personnel" the Bloodmobile will return Wednesday where it will spend half a day at the ROTC Armory and the other half either at the Student Union or Law School.
“I feel that this year was so successful that the Bloodmobile retur-ing Wednesday speaks for itself,” said Katzker.
Any member of the student body, administration, faculty and maintenance staff who would like to donate blood and failed to do so will be given another opportunity Wednes-
day when the Bloodmobile returns to campus.
Persons under 21 must present a slip signed by their parents. These ; slips are available at temporary building 944 or at the Infonnation Desk in the Student Union.
Two trophies will be awarded to groups contributing the most pints of blood. One will go to ap ROTC group and the other to an organization other than ROTC.
“No fraternity has donated enough blood to receive an award,” said Katzker. At Hurricane press time the Air Force ROTC was leading Army ROTC by a wide margin.

All blood donated was given in the name of the student, organization or placed in the general UM account. The blood will be housed at the John Elliot Blood Bank in Miami.
