Campaign Has Early Start as Students Contribute Dimes
Jumping the gun by three days, U.S.C.’s “Fight Paralysis’ drive got off to a successful premature start yesterday afternoon as the red, white, and blue campaign buttons began blossoming out on Trojan men’s lapels and women’s blouses.
Formally scheduled to open next Monday and run through Wednesday, the campaign achieved its early start when “Fight Paralysis” committee men found students to be ready and wiling purchasers of the 10-cent metal buttons. The U. S.C. drive is part of the annual nationwide campaign instituted four years ago by President Roosevelt to raise a fund with which to fight infantile paralysis.
AMAZONS 100 PERCENT
First Trojan organization to contribute 100 per cent to the drive was the Amazons, women’s honorary service organization. Sororities and fraternities are expected by Committee Head Al Gordon also to subscribe wholly after the drive formally gets under way next week.
Proceeds will be divided nationally and regionally, part going to the Georgia Warm Springs foundation, and part to local institutions such as the Children’s and Orthopedic hospitals of Los Angeles. The funds will be used for treatment of paralysis victims, purchase of equipment, and research.
COMMITTEE TO MEET
Final plans for next yeek's campaign will be mapped out at a meeting of the “Fight Paralysis’’ committee today at 2 p.m. in 234 Student Union. New additions were made to the committee by Gordon who requests the following to attend:
