More than 1000 embryo engi-
neers, with the smiling consent
Of the faculty, were pledged to
pay in pennies IS per cent Of the
purchase price Of every article
they buy.
This, the students estimate, is
the average amount of hidden
taxes which the public is paying.
HOPE IDEA WILL SPREAD
Accumulation of the $4,000
worth of pennies yesterday vir-

forced to send to Albany for
more.
The R.PI. students hope their

and that their campaign will
make the American public tax
conscious.
AXE THE TAX
They have adopted slogans for
their drive, one being:
use your axes on hidden
taxes"
The students have styled them
selves "Taxcentinels."
