In updating the progress of United Way fund drive on U1e North Idaho College campus, drive coordinator Doris Ayars said, ''NIC has raised S3,3S3.'' Al first Ayars seemed disappointed because her goal for 1hc college had been set at SS.000. However, after comparing this year's dona1ions 10 those from last year, her face lit up in a big smile. "Last year NIC only raised S2,6S7. That is an increase of nearly $7001 That makes me feel belier," she said. "As long as it's more, it's better. The more money we raise, the more people we can help," Ayars said.
