...Hoover Drive subscriptions up to nine o'clock Saturday night amounted to $7009.48. As yet only about one-half of the graduate collectors have reported, and it is expected that when all have done so, the complete sum will be near the $7500 mark. Collectors should see all their men without fail and make their reports today...

While not all the men had been seen up to that time, this figure certainly indicates a very noticeable lack of response on the part of both the undergraduate and graduate students...
