Students were asked to donate between 1 and 25 or according to their individual means. This money, plus the profits from last year's benefit, will be used to furnish the student lounge in the new dorm which is scheduled for completion next year. Baskets with daisies will be placed outside the Phoenix Room to designate each class' progress. A flower will be placed on each girl's locker as she makes her contri bution while an empty basket will indicate a class reaching its prospective goal. Students may fulfill their pledges which were made at the last SAC assembly Sept. 21 at the College box office from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every day. Th-ec dsySi CM. 21, Nov. 3, and Nov. 17, are designated for special promotion as Miss Daisy, alias Kathy McEnery, visits each class room in order to encourage dona tions and keep the drive moving at a swift pace. The pledge drive is a deviation from the usual benefit-type per formance familiar to Mundelein for the last ten years. The change was made last year when students voted for the drive which would provide greater profits than the previous plan. General chairman for the cam paign is Rosemary Harrington. Class chairmen include Kathy Walsh, senior, Kathy McEnery, junior, and Mary Tucker, sopho more, who is helping Rosemary with promotion and publicity. HAVE YOU PLEDGED?

Easier To Hold, Easier To Read Is New Skyscraper A new look characterizes this year's Skyscraper which features a smaller size and promises adver tising in future issues. The paper will now be easier to handle, more attractive and reada ble with its new 12 x 16 7/8 page. In addition the Skyscraper hopes to carry local and national adver tisements to give the paper a more professional appearance and to gain revenue. For the convenience of the stu dent, classified ads at 10 cents a line may be bought through Phyllis Luczak, advertising manager, and her assistant, Eileen Schaefer. Skyscrapings will be a single column feature this year to pro mote reader interest. (See page 6). According to Mary Jo Murray, feature editor of the publication, the column will feature Mundelein students rather than be an outlet for anyone's personal feelings. It will include information that does not merit a separate article, but is still interesting to the girls and tlieir friends.
