ALABAMA ALUMNI
WILL REORGANZE
FOR FINAL DRIVE
New Teams Will Be Formed
This Morning to "Carry
On" Campaign For State
University Fund

Reorganization of the Birmingham
alumni of the University of Alabama
and the formation of new teams to
obtain the remainder of the city's
quota in the university million dollar
campaign will be effected at meet
ing this morning at $3.50 O'Clock in
the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel.
All graduates the State university
living In Birmingham are invited to
be present. and members OF the teams
which were at work during the first
two weeks of the drive are especially
urged to attend.
"A comparatively small group of
the alumni working on the teams has
obtained more than half of Birming-
hams quota, nearly $3.50, 0o0." said
Jelks Gabaniss, city chairman of the
campaign. IF a large number of
our alumni will work during the COM
ing week we can obtain the $S50,ooo
which is our goal. We are calling
upon those who have so far done
nothing In this campaign for their
alma mater to volunteer their ser
vice in this final week of the drlya."
More than fifty of the alumni who
were present at the luncheon Satur-
day pledged themselves to be at the
meeting this morning and many
others have since signified their in
tention of being present to assist In
completing the drive.
Luncheon will be held each day at
o'clock In the Tutyiier ball room
this week. The campaign so far has
been highly successful and the second
week showed larger total In new
subscriptions than the first With
this increasing momentum, the final
week is expected to carry the drive
to a successful conclusion.
VIII Net Fail
The state wide drive, had reached a
total or s4e6,605 at the end of the
second week. and With three weeks
remaining before the campaign Is OK
pected to end, state leaders are con-
fident that the movement will not
fail.
The success of the movement dur
| ing the first two weeks has been
due to the fact that the individual
subscriptions of alumni have ex-
oee ded an average OF s3o5. Alumni
who have not been solicited are urged
| to Join the movement for the sup
port of their alma mater by making
their contributions at once. With
the maintenance of the quota of 1905
during the remaining period OF the
campaign, state leaders declared the
entire fund of 100000 will be
obtained in time for tho Victory Day
celebration on the University campus
on November 10.
