CHARLES HALLECK TO DIRECT EDUCATIONAL DRIVE IN THIS DISTRICT

Charles A. Halleck of Rensselaer was chosen chairman of the Tenth | Congressional District organization by county chairmen from his disjtrict attending Indiana University to ' lead in the formation of a program ; for more public support of the ! state educational institution and education in Indiana. Chairman Halleck is a Junior at the University and is active in student affairs. Indiana University and the other state institutions are asking for sufficient levy to enable them to keep pace with the forward movement in higher education and give the best ! instruction possible to the students, jln the past few years the states ; surrounding Indiana have broaden'ed their support of the university and because of this the l>est memi bers of the faculties of the state i educational institutions in Indiana have been attracted away from the Hoosier state. To regain their position in educational circles Indiana’s schools of higher learning I must have more liberal public sup- : port. i AH the state educational instituj tions in Indiana are cramped for class rooms and need more equip- j ment. Enrollment has increased a large per cent and the funds of the j state educational institutions, Indiana, Purdue, and State Normal,, have not been sufficient to permit building new class rooms. Surrounding state supported universities have budgets as high as three times as much as the Indiana institutions. HaUeck is also chairman of the Jasper County organization. Other Jasper county students chosen in the county organization are C. B. Howard of Remington, vice-chairman, and Sara Alice O’Neal of Rensselaer, secretary. This committee will have charge of the school program in their county.
