As previously announced, the
amount of the donation will not
be published, unless the donor
requests that it be printed in the
Hellcat News. The reason for this
policy is that the president feels
that the amount of the donations
should not be held up to compar-
ison, because the association in-
cludes men of a wide range of
financial means.
