Council committee
to print pamphlet
. . . on
In an effort to clarify misunderstanding and doubts surrounding
the plan of unive rsal subscription to the DAILY, the Council commit-
tee in charge of the project will soon issue a paper clarifying ques-
tions on both sides of the controversy.
"Petitions signed by students indicated a definite interest in such
a project," stated committee chairman Burton Thlel, "but it will take
a student election to settle the issue one way or the other."
Plan question and answer sheet.
Stating that a printed question and answer sheet to be distributed
to every person on campus before the universal subscription plan
comes to a vote, Thiel stressed the fact that circulation and collection
of petitions had been too fast to allow students to fully understand
the plan.
Features of the plan as well as arguments on both sides of the
question will be fully explained in the sheet. It was, however, errone
ously stated in yesterday's DAILY that the plan called for distribu
tion at a maximum charge of 25 cents a semester. It should have read
a maximum cost of 75 cents a semester.
Members of the Council committee are: Thiel, Marian Cramer,
Dorothy Jean Bryan, Mary Rosborough, Max Whittaker and Dale
Theobald.
