The combination of all these fund drives into one saves students from constant approach by solicitors throughout the year. No goal has been set for this single drive but it is hoped that every student at the University will contribute as much as he would have to all these groups if they had made separate drives.
Students can contribute either a lump sum to all the organizations or can choose particular agencies to which their money will go. When a contribution is made, the student is given a preference card on which to check the names of the agencies he prefers. If he wants to give to all the groups he marks the card accordingly.
