...Mere figures, no matter how startling, cannot convey an adequate idea of the seismic social, political, economic and geographical changes that have come over Florida's face. "It's real crazy," a Florida State coed said one day last week in Tallahassee. "Things are happening. I keep asking people about it and they don't know how to explain it, but they go home for a weekend and find a new factory where there used to be an empty lot, or maybe 200 houses where there was a golf course.

The problem goes deeper too than mere technical details, such as the date or duration of the drive. Fall drives, predated checks, and IBM machines may help, but efficiency--laudable as it is--is no answer to student disinterest. Instead of searching for a few missing pieces, the Council will have to examine the whole pattern of the College's single charity drive...
