Printed December 17, 1948 As the Lobo went to press yesterday, the Co-operative Bookstore Campaign fund hit the $16,000 mark with $4,000 in pledges still to be signed. With the option on building to house the bookstore extended until Monday, Student Council members were hopeful of reaching the $20,000 goal by noon Saturday – the absolute deadline, Dick Barrett, campaign chairman, said. Pointing out that students and faculty members may sign more than one pledge, Barrett announced that the Associated Student office will be open all day Friday and Saturday morning to issue new and additional membership pledges. Barrett also issued a call for more volunteers to canvass classes and individual students now making the rounds of classes in session, many instructors are giving the sales talk for them.
