Seniors Begin Drive For Annual Class Gifts
Ohio University solicitors began contacting January graduates at their housing today seeking pledges for the senior challenge of 1967. The gift aims to be useful such as books for the library or a speech hearing therapy clinic. Pledges run $10 a year for five years after graduation, with half the fund to meet immediate needs and half invested for the Ohio University Fund Board of Trustees. The committee, led by Jim Boncek, hopes to exceed a $25,000 goal, $5,000 more than the 1966 pledges. Roger Zimmerman expects all January graduates to be contacted by Friday. June graduate drives start in February.
