November 17. 194 A "Yes" For The Checkoff 'Going to the All-College Election poll today? )f:you're voting today you will see a question ask :;.ng whether you approve of having a dollar added to . your fees so that you, and every other student npy get a Daily Collegian. Under this system, known as the checkoff and used.. at many other colleges, the Collegian can be. assured of vital daily publication..Ordinartly the paper costs $1.75 :for a semester, and if, the proposed cut in class dues is approved, it would mean an addition. of only 85 cents per• semester in comparison to what each student- paid last semester.' The checkoff means: (l) every:-Studenegets daily paper; (2) students pick up papers at strate gib distribution centers in town and on carripus; (3). readers get continued coverage of .Reserve• news, war flashes and campus events; the College s assured a medium for passing on vital wartime notices-and announcements;, (4) the Daily Colle gian remains an uncontrolled, independent stu dents' organization; (5) the College will act .as collecting agent for the paper. "Highly Successful' . Raid "Highly successful" was the official pronounce. tnent after the surprise daylight altert yesterday morning. And it was, for within seven minutes af 2ei• the audible signal sounded ttie campus was (14.serted but for air raid wardens and civilian de :R ease workers. On the surface it was highly successful, but this was not the case in several campus buildings. Blame for whatever confusion there was belongs to individual professors. Although warned and :••2-warned in the past to familiarize 'themselves with the air raid •precaution cards located in every >•com, some faculty members only glance at these 4..iiection guides when the air raid actually comes. As a result, their classes don't know where to ,to, and when they do arrive late in the shelter areas, they merely accumulate on the fringes of 'the crowd and are responsible for the seemingly over-crowded conditions in the shelters. Indications show that professors are loath to :heed the warning siren. When the signal is first :heard, several valuable minutes are wasted be :.:ore it sinks into the heads of the professors— who are also half asleep from their soporific It.c •,,ures—that an air raid, is in progress. Being away rom the constant "alert" areas of big cities has, apparently lulled their senses 'into believing that •aids in this peaceful valley are out of the ques- Perhaps if they just took a few minutes to mem orize the directions on that card in their next classroom, their students might award them the 'highly successful" banner.
