Advisory Committee.
An advisory committee of thirty-five
prominent men and women will also
have an important part in the cam
paign.
Chairman Pearson and his campaign
committee have divided the state into
twenty districts. The campaign will
be centered in ten OF these districts
during the first two weeks. in the re-
naming ten during the second two
weeks. and in Richmond and Wayne
county during the final two weeks
leading up to Commencement day.
There will be team of from ten to
twelve men in each district, most of
them local men who know Who should
be seen and how and when to see
them. Working with each of these To-
Cal teams will be two men from head
quarters at Earlham. Thus, in the
ten teams which will be continuously
at work there will be twenty men who
will give all of their time to the cam
paign and will be sent from district to
district at the pleasure of the cam
paign committee. These special rep
resentatives will be more thoroughly
posted concerning the progress and
needs of the campaign than the local
men. but working together they are
expected to form a combination that
will speedily bring success to the
campaign.
Each member of the campaign COM
mittee will have well-defined duties TO
perform. and each will be kept busy
until Commencement Day. The other
members of this committee are Presi-
dent Kelly, Quincy Hill, Timothy
Nicholson, J. A. Goddard of Muncie,
Prof. Ebert Russell and Prof Harlow
Lindley. of Earlham's faculty, and Les
ter c. Haworth, field representative
for Earlham.
President Kelly, Mr.. Nicholson and
Mr.. Haworth will be available to send
into the field at cay time for the pur-
pose of comforting with teams or lead
ers in unusual cases. Mr.. Haworth
will also act as secretary of the COM
mittee.
Prof Russell is in charge of the cor
respondence, and will pave the way for
solicitors as well as reach distant
friends of the college who cannot be
visited personally.
LindIey Field Manager.
Prof Lindley has one of the most
the committee-that of field manager.
1t is his duty to keep track of the
teams each day and to see that they
keep going"
His work is somewhat similar to
that of the chairman of a speakers bu-
reau in a political campaign. Routes
must. be laid out, transportation pro-
vided-and audiences must not be dis
appointed. Prof. Lindley will be re-
quired to have automobiles at this
place and at that SO that the teams
may lose no time because of lack of
a way to get there" 49,.
| Friends of the college in the var
ious districts are volunteering the use
of their automobiles and are ready to
do everything in their power to make
the campaign success.
| This falls in exactly with Chairman
Pearson's views.
This campaign is going to be a sue
cess" he said, land the men in the
central organization will work night
and day to make it So But. the re-
isponsibility cannot rest entirely with
U.S. It must be shared by the local
members of the teams in each dis
trict, and by the friends of the col
lege and members of our church in
each district-and elsewhere. We
must all stand together in this move.
