TO EVERY PENN STATE STUDENT I have been greatly pleased with the plans which the student committees Ithve made for enlisting the efforts of the student body in the Eight Million Dollar Bond Issue Campaign. I know of no workers in the interests of higher education in Pennsylvania who arc in a position to make a more direct appeal than the students of the College: In this campaign it is vital that a few fundamental facts and arguments be forcefully driven home to the people of the State. I am, therefore; going to ask every student to study and thoroughly inflator the material contained in the "Workers' Handbook" now being disturbed. Our efforts must be intelligent and directed toward common objectives As a mart' for the student body to shoot at, I suggest that each of our four thousand students start out to line up definitely twenty citizens who ,will each agree to get four other votes favorable to the Bond Issue, in addition to their own That is the way the vote is gotten out in a political campaign A million or more favorable votes will be needed to get the amendment approved. If our students and their parents can see to :t that three or foui thousand votes arc pledged in advance, they will not have' worked in vain This is the test that will try the real loyalty of every Penn State student. You will never have an opportunity to do a greater service for your beloved College Let us be able to say that no Penn State man or woman has failed his Alma Mater at a time of supreme test:, BATSMEN.
