the city congdon welcomes madame chiang total campus chest is highest to date arcadia has given 147 to the red cross as part of the donations which came out of this year's campus community chest the donation represents a gift on the part of the students which was the first figure recorded in the cam pus red cross drive arcadia collected 383.18 this year arcadia collected a total of 383.18 in the campus community chest this figure is larger than any previous one add ed to this sum was 46.17 which arcadia had saved in a special fund to add to this year's com munity chest it was felt last year that the money might be needed more this year and therefore this sum was put aside from last year's collec tions a total of 7.35 remains in the special fund this donation enabled the 1943 contribution to top all previous records the donation to the red cross represents 35 per cent of the total donations made by the students through arcadia in addition 85 was given to both the christmas seal drive and the city commun ity chest the war chest received 105 it is interesting to note that stu dents actually give twice since their families give an additional amount to the red cross at home any student may call at the ar cadia office and receive a red cross tag each student is entitled to this tage or seal since each student through arcadia and the campus community chest has given money to the red cross this year students should have a particular interest in red cross because it may not be long before the donors will be on the receiv ing end through the armed forces any students who desire to give more money to the red cross per sonally or through their living groups may do so at the arcadia office brown & white lehigh university vol l — no 36 bethlehem pa friday march 5 1943
