Money can't buy love or a date at Itha ca College this year. A date c>.uction sponsored by the Ithaca Chapter ofAmerican Red Cross and supported by the Student Government Association was supposed to be held Nov. 29. However, it was canceled last week because some students raised concerns about ethical issues sur rounding the event, said senior Brett Shiel, an SGA representative who opposed the auction. Th_e :event would have raised money for. the Red Cross's disaster relief fund, said se nior Rachel Berlin, a representative and vol unteer with the Red Cross and also an Itha can staff member. She said this type of event would help the group try to reach their $12,000 goal for the relief fund. "My goal was to raise money for the Red Cross disaster relief fund to help people," Berlin said.
