Staff Aids War Chest
With almost a half million dollar goal set for Greater Miami’s War chest drive, faculty and staff members of the U. were being asked this week to dig down into their pockets or else make pledges to carry the University’s share in the program.
Dean Charles R. Foster, chairman of the University group taking part in the drive, pointed out that members of the staff would have to increase their contributions by from seventy-five to one hundred per cent if the added load of the War chest is to be realized.
Included in the personnel solicited for participation in the University’s quota of the community wide drive aft all faculty members, office workers, kitchen employees, housekeepers, and other workers on the campus. Officers attached to the training units on the campus have also indicated their willingness to join,
Dean Foster pointed out that the need this year is much greater because not only do all of the agencies in the Community chest, which is a part of the drive, have a greater burden to carry; but the War chest also includes fourteen agencies of a national and international relief type identified with the war effort. The funds raised will keep Miami’s social service agencies functioning for another year, will also aid U. S. O., China Relief, the Greek aid fund, and a host of other agencies which, were it not for the War chest drive, would all have to hold separate campaigns to raise money.
Pledge cards and checks, cash, or pledges, should be returned to drive headquarters in Dean Foster's office, Room 102, Administration building.
