Whether it was the pre-holiday spirit or Just State college's

Red Cross drive. Now, once
again the clarion call for aid
to a very worthy cause is heard.
As we happily approach our

cry to "Fight Tuberculosis."
Beginning next Monday, Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority will
hold their annual sale of Christmas seals at a table near the
annex. Frieda Kurkhill, '39, has
charge.
It Is hoped that the students
will greet this sale with as much
enthusiasm as they did that of
the Red Cross. Remember everytime you lick a seal, you're "licking" the tubercular germ.
