A thorough-going revitaliza tion of the Association is being sought in the present intensive campaign which was made pos sible by a overhauling of the Association by-laws on February 1. Earlier All-College Cabinet had given its unanimous •ap proval to the plan. Chairmen of the present cam paign•are two seniors, William.B. Bartholomew, in charge of men's solicitation, and Elinor L. Weav er, in•charge of women. Last fall, Bartholomew was chairman of the PSCA finance canvass after which the present drive - is mod eled. • The memberships, offered at $B, will extend for five years after the student graduates and give him a subscription to the Alumni News beginning as soon as he signs up. Solicitations will be carried on every day next week. Reports will be made to the Alumni Office at 10 p.m. daily •by the section leaders with the final report Friday night.

Backing Plan Edward K. Hibshman 14, secretary of the Alumni Asso ciation for 11 3 , ar.s, is backing the plan of student association memberships which will be .in troduced to the student body next week. From his office in Old Main he keeps contact with the 23,000 alumni who have gone out from here to all cor ners of the world. After the present drive .is over he hopes to have at least 5,000 of them enrolled as active members of the Association. Alumni Office Has The Dope! What do you Want to know about any alumnus? Where he was working in 1926? What high school attend ed? His extra-curricular- acti vities? The names of his wife and children? His other col leges? His course? His achieve= ments? . You'll 'find it in the Alumni Association files. Carefully ar ranged, you'll find all the cor respondence he has ever had with - the College, and all avail able information about his life and activities. • Cross-indexed, the alumnus can be found according to al most any classification—class of graduation, place of residence, fraternity, and, of course, name. P;i4Te'iDiGol:Olmol Expansion Seen If Drive Scores As Expected Stymied by a small member ship, an ambitious expansior‘ of the Alumni Association pro gram can be expected if the present campaign is as success-• ful as expected. On the immediate list are sev eral projects: - 1. Publication of a new alum ni directory to bring up to date the one issued in 1935. 2, Employment of two trav eling secretaries to spend their entire time visiting alumni throughout the state and ad joining states. 3. ProviSion of funds .to spon sor a thoroughly organized drive for funds to erect a Student Un ion Building and a field house. 4. Cooperation with the Col lege, in .the establishment of a student placement bureau as al ready planned by the Assotia tion. 5. Immediate changes of pro gram to appeal to the large pro portion of very young members who will be coming into the Association. 6. Increased assistance to and cooperation with campus organ izations. 7. Expansion in scope of the Association's publications—The Alumni News (monthly), The Penn Stater (quarterly), and the Football Letter,, (after each game).
