Enters Third Day
Of Soliciting
Entering the third day of its
torrent subscription campaign,
Daily Collegian officials last night,
felt confident that the quota
would be reached, although re
turns from solicitors were coming
in at a slower pace than usual.
Main selling point in this year's
campaign is the guarantee of con
tinued delivery offered all sub
scribers who are drafted before
the end of the semester.
To all men who purchase a
$1.75 carrier subscription, and arc
later taken into the armed serv
ices, the Collegian plans to make
up the difference incurred by con
tinuing the subscription through
the mail.
Usual one-semester mail deliv
eries cost $2.25.
Solicitors are urged by Phillip
P. Mitchell '44, to cover frater
nity houses and downtown room
ing houses and to bring in their
signed subscriptions every after
noon.
In addition. to door-to-door sol
icitors, there will be people sta
tioned in The Daily Collegian of
fices,- ground floor, Carnegie Hall
to take care of any students who
wish to subscribe but haven't
been contacted by Daily Collegian
agents as yet.
