TODAY1 COMMITTEES .ALLOWED THREE DAYS FOR FILLINGE QUOTA 200 PICKED SOLICITORS ' TO SEE NON-MEMBERS Silver Loving Cup Offered Salesman Most Successful in Securing Aplications More than 200 picked salesmen, who will open a campaign this morning to increase the Union's life membership role by 1600 new names, met last night in the assembly hall of the Union for final instructions. The men were addressed by Emerson Swart, '22E, president of the Union, who em- phasized the importance of the cam- paign to the forward progress of the Union. Maynard A. Newton, '22, gen- eral chairman of the committee for the drive, explained the system which will be used in approaching pros- pective members. Listed by Districts Lists of non-members who will be solicited, which will be used by the drive workers, are made out accord- ing to geographically divided dis- tricts. By concentrating on his dis- trict alone, which will be confined to a small area, the solicitor will be able to attain acertain degree of efilcienc, with the least possible expenditure of time and effort. According, to committee members, failure to convince the non-member upon first meeting him will not be ac- cepted as defeat. In former campaigns it has been noted that failure to ob- tain the student's signature on the first visit, or being met with positive refusal, was in almost every case due to the fact that either the solicitor unintentionally mis-stated a point in his argument or failed to make him- self clear to his' listener. When a second interview is considered neces- sary, the "flying squadron," a team composed of the best available solic- itors on the campus, will be called into service. Large Proportion Freshmen The goal for this year's drive has been set at 1,600, over 1,400 of whom are freshmen. The report of the pro- gress of each team in the race to com- plete this quota will be submitted at the Union desk not later than 10 o'clock on each night. According to the chairman, competition on the com- mittee will be even keener than last year, for it has been decided to offer a silver loving cup to the committee- man who turns in the largest number of new applicatiods for membership. Also the team which -has the highest standing in the final returns will be properly recognizede The campaign will continue three days and will close with the final reports at 10 o'clock Thursday ni ht. Life me ership in the Union, ac- cording to the, committee chairman, constitutes.the permanent possession by the member of all privileges which he enjoyed while a student, in addition to any further advantages which may be added later. The fee is $50, of which the first annual $10 payment must be made before or during the last year of residence at the Univer- city or in the year succeeding gradu- ation. If the first payment is made before Dec. 1 of the last year credit will be given for the yearly Union fee paid to the University. Students not in their last year of residence may begin payments on a life membership, but no credit will be given for the annual fee except that paid in their last year in the University. For former students and alumni wishing to take out life membership during the year succeeding their grad- uation the fee is $50 payable in one bulk sum. THURSDAY LAST.
