Do Kansans Care?
Is there a bright, peaceful future in this world for you and your children?
Do the American people expect to keep pace with the world?
Will they enjoy the leadership which they have enjoyed in the past?
The scientific and technical advances of other peoples have dramatized the importance of American higher education.
In 1955, the American people spent $15.31 per person on higher education. At the same time, they spent $85.00 on tobacco and alcoholic beverages, $79.00 on recreation, $87.00 on automobiles, and $15.77 on parimutuel betting. Which is the most important to you and to the United States of America.
Higher education needs prompt and universal support! Why?
1) This country's economic and social standards pose a tremendous problem in keeping superior teachers and researchers in higher education.
2) Enrollments are mounting rapidly. Greater financial support is needed to provide quality training for greatly expanded numbers.
3) Education opportunity of the highest quality requires expensive and complicated types of equipment and laboratories.
Now, think it over! Shouldn't progress be America's and Kansas' most important concern? Or do you intend to say, "I don't care!"?
Alumni of KU can direct their support through membership in the Alumni Association and gifts to the Greater University Fund. All citizens of Kansas can promote the needs of higher education with their legislative representatives. The support of all through every available means is imperative!
