Kick-Off Dinner
For All Workers
At Lion Tomorrow
Part of a campaign being car
ried to Penn State alumni every
where, the Alumni Association's
-first student membership cam
paign goes into a week's heavy
action tomorrow night when 175
, leaders meet for a kick-off dinner
-in the Nittany Lion Inn at 6 p.m.
Its goal is 2,000 members.
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.
Men's Supervisor
Chairman of men's solicita
tion in the alumni membership
drive is William. B. Bartholo
mew '4l, who was also chair
man of the PSCA „finance can
vass conducted last. fall.
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.

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).
