Senior Gift
Publicity
Limit Set
Individual publicity campaigns
by sponsors of senior class gift
proposals have been outlawed, ac
cording to rules released by John
Hoerr, gift chairman.
Proposed by an All-College
Cabinet committee headed by
Richard Lemyre, the rules will
equalize publicity for the various
gift suggestions. They evolved
from the controversy over publici
ty last year, when gift sponsors
were not limited in their cam
paigns.'
Articles concerning gift sug
gestions in the Daily Collegian are
to be of equal length and cover
age, Hoerr said. Each sponsoring
group will have an opportunity
to explain its own gift suggestion.
One hundred posters listing all
the gift suggestions will, be print
ed by the gift committee. Any
other advertisement will be con
sidered a' violation of the rules.
Suggestions proposed at a re
cent senior class meeting include
"The Lineman" statue, a record
room in the library, furnishings
for a room in the new Student
Union Building, scholarship fund,
student radio, student loan fund,
a set of chimes or an organ for
the proposed meditation chapel,
and the purchase of permanent
caps and gowns for graduating
seniors. They will be sifted by the
gift committee, and the slate will
be announced this week.
Seniors will vote on the sug
gestions when they pick up their
copies of LaVie next month.
Assisting Hoerr on the gift com
mittee are Peggy Mayberry,
Claire K.i me, Robert Sherman,
and Mary Markley.
