A few weeks ago, this column carried news about a project, undertaken by students of Allen University of Columbia, to raise $100,000 toward liquidation of the school’s indebtedness. President James Hairston of Allen ex pressed deep appreciation to the Clinton Chronicle, as I visited his office last Saturday, for hav ing carried this news to Chroni cle reading community. Mayor Lester Bates ofColum- bia presented $500 to the stu dents as a personal gift. The mayor endorsed their project and praised them highly for their con cern and efforts. President Hairston recently stated to the press that the re sponse of the public has been most gratifying and donations of varied amounts have been made toward the students’ effort. He stated that his chief concern is that donations be made properly and that all funds are accounted for. Contributions should be made payable to Allen University and sent to the Student Council Presi dent, Allen University, Columbia, S. C. or to the Office of the Presi dent. If it be carried out, certainly this project will be one without equal. The students are confident of their success.
