The campus division was the only section of the Lawrence
Student involvement in the Lawrence drive in the past has been limited to help provided by one fraternity, which has aided United Fund workers in unpacking and distributing campaign materials.
However, heads of living groups and other student organizations are now planning organized drives by students throughout the residential division of the Lawrence campaign.
The goal of the Lawrence drive is $130,800, said William J. Womack, general drive chairman. Other divisions are industrial, business, public schools, Haskell Institute and government.
Womack said the Lawrence campaign "deeply appreciates the help given by students in distributing materials" and said it was a sign that KU students were interested in the community.
In the past, separate student drives have been undertaken, but the distinct student campaign has been phased out, he said.
