Council officials last night held out little hope for the success of this week's final Service Fund drive for $11,500. First returns of the collections toalled only $1,350.
Considerably more is expected to roll in before the campaign officially closes Sunday night, Ray A. Goldberg '48, Council treasurer, explained, since many canvassers have yet to submit their collections. Returns from commuters have not been checked. However, these sources certainly will not supply enough money, the treasurer declared.
Goldberg expressed the hope that the Council would undertake some future program to educate students more fully about organizations and charities aided by the Service Fund and to impress students of the need for financial support.
Great Deal Needed
"A great deal of advertising and publicity is needed in order to combat the apathy shown by many here," he added.
Per-capita breakdowns of the $1,350 thus received show $5 percent participation by Yardlings, with only 65 percent support from House residents.
The campaign for donations through coupons at the College dining halls has been successful, according to Goldberg, especially at Adams.
