SUBSCRIPTIONS OF
$1S0,O00 EXCEED
QUOTA BY $4,000
Goal of S165,000 Passed by
Substantial Margin, Head
quarters Says
Sum is Largest Ever Raised for
Single Project in Towns
History

Bluffton has gone "over the top"
in the second war loan campaign, it
was announced Wednesday morning
by nj. M. Bogart and Norman Trip
lett, co-chairmen of the drive.
The sum subscribed in the COM
munity stood at s1S0,000 Wednesday
noon-S15,0 1000 over the assigned
quota of S165,000. With subscrip-
tions still coming in the total may be
even higher than the present sum,
Bogart stated.
One factor which enabled the town
to go substantially over the goal was
the fact that the allotment of seven
eights per cent certificates to blanks
was made by the federal reserve
bank. This represented a sizable
sum- credited to the local suscrip-
tions.
SERIES E MosT POPULAR
By far the most popular issue has
been the series "E" bond which was
not included in the previous Victory
Loan campaign.
The final meeting of all solicitors
and campaign workers will be held
at the Bluffton High school cafeteria
this Wednesday night at 8 o'clock.
Bogart and Triplett have asked that
all reports be in at this time.
The $1s0,000 raised in this cam
paign represents the largest sum of
money ever raised in single move
ment in this community, it was
pointed out.
FURTHER CAMPAIGNS
According to present treasury de-
partment plans, further loan cam
paigns of this intensive nature will
be conducted periodically, with the
next one set tentatively for late sum-
mer or early fall.
In the meantime, emphasis will be
placed on continuing program of
regular and systematic purchases of
"E" and other available war bonds
to keep the war funds flowing stead
lily.
In a statement issued Wednesday
morning by Co-chairmen Triplett and
Bogart, they expressed appreciation
for the intensive canvassing work
done by the group of rs solicitors
and the courteous reception accorded
them by residents thruout the town.
Reports from Richland townships
war loan canvass were not available
Wednesday morning. Progress of
the campaign has been materially
handicapped by the serious illness of
Henry Huber, township chairman.

Faculty and Students Change
Places for Twenty-four
Hours

to the most menial k. p. duty.
And the faculty assumed the role
of students, attending classes which
they regularly conducted, and ans
wering questions when called upon
by the student teacher.
Meals at the Ropp hall dining
room were in charge of a student
dietitian with a completely organized
kitchen staff.
STUDENT ADMINISTRATION DAY
The occasion, a tradition of many
years standing known as student
administration day is to give the
faculty and student body an oppor-
tunity to see operation of the insti-
tuition from the others viewpoint
and to experience in measure the
problems involved.
Administration posts are filled by
a popular vote of the entire student
body with two major parties and
full states of candidates putting on
a full-fedged political campaign with
oratory, platforms and banners.
Students in each class select one
of their number to serve as instruct
or upon whom rests the responsible
ity of conducting the class for the
day.
Filling the presidents chair for
the day was Herbert Oyer. Royal
Thomas was dean; Mabel Hill, busi-
ness manager; Robert Kumata, reg
istrar; Otto Elmer, dean Of men;
Margaret Shelley, dean of women;
Earl Lehman, coach; Lois Sommer,
librarian; Grace Adams, dietitian;
