A brochure depicting the program and t its aims is scheduled to be mailed late this week as the general solicitat.ons begin in earnest. He said an anonymous $5,- 000 challenge grant has been offered to the program if 40 per cent of the alumni take part this year. The participa tion rate hit 38.5 per cent in 1965. The $100,000 target was es tablished by the board of di rectors of the Presbyterian College Alumni Association, charged with the responsibil ity for the Annual Giving program. Objectives within the total program are: $70 - 000 for academic purposes, including scholarships and faculty salary increases: and $30,000 for the Walter John son Club, alumni athletic or ganization, for athletic grants in-aid. Annual Giving is consider ed one of the primary means of underwriting the current operating costs of Presbyter ian College. For the past sev eral years, it has produced more income than the re turns from invested endow ment. Last year, PC was cited among the top small colleges in the nation bby the Ameri* can Alumni Council in terms of alumni support. W. Alvin Hueble Candidate For Alderman Ward 2 1.
