Luehring Favors Plan.
A resolution was passed asking
that the presidents appoint commit
tees in their several organizations to'
..ctively support the proposed Single

as highly in favor of the adoption o' j

sily of Nebraska. He stated that
e very school where the Single Tax is
in operation has a wonderful "school
spirit." He gave as an illustration
Pennsylvania State College, a smallc
school located in a small town, which
tuts out some of the strongest teams
li the country in every sport. Dr.
uthring said that it is the duty of
t i-ery student to boost the Single Tax.
