Blankets and fast give Pakistan aid Seven thousand blankets and $3,000. That was the result of Creighton ' s effort toward the relief of Pakistan ' s refugees. On Sunday, October 17, 75 Creighton students and 225 high school students canvassed the city to collect the blankets and $1,500 in cash. The blankets were later sent to the Catholic Relief Service in New York. The service pledged to match the number of blankets collected and forward them to the Catholic Relief Service in Calcutta, India for distribu- tion to Pakistan. The drive was co-sponsored by the Student Board of Governors and the Community Service Center. Monday, November 1, was declared a day of fast by the Board. Catering Management, Inc. agreed to remit money to the cause based on the number of stu- dents participating in the fast. Of 1,475 students covered by the food plan only 120 ate breakfast, 500 lunch and 500 dinner. The remission by the food service and donations of town students totaled $1,500. Chris Harlan takes a well deserved break as a new crew take over the folding duties for a while. 27
