Donations down for Alumni Fund drive

The Alumni Fund student phonathon is pulling in fewer donations than it did last year, and fewer students are volunteering to solicit money from alumni. Alumni Fund Assistant Director Christopher Boffoli, who organized the phonathon, attributes the lower turnout rate this year to winter rush and NFL games, which are taking place at the same time. In addition, he said, a large number of members of the Class of 1999 are currently off campus.
