United Student Communication Fund Whittier College Whittier, California 10 May, 1970 Dear Students: Help advertise PEACE! Students at Whittier College (President Nixon's alma mater) with the help of other students in the Southern California area are getting up a UNITED STUDENTS COM MUNICATION FUND. This non-profit organization will set up a national advertising campaign to bring the students' fight for Peace and Non violence to the people by the utilization of mass media (i.e. TV, radio, and newspapers). The news people refuse to cover non-violent protest. They say it is not "news-worthy". People keep saying "You must move the 'silent majority'. You must attack the problem economically.'' We are trying to do that, but we need your help. One minute of time of TV cost between $4,000 to $10,000. A full page ad in the Los Angeles or New York'Times cost between $4,500 to $7,000. We ask that each student mail Just one dollar. WE NEED YOUR HELP! We do not stand for any one political candidate, nor are we trying to promote anything but non-violence, the end to all wars, and end of police and student confrontations. We are showing the American people the integrity of the college student and his legitimate concern for peace and non-violence. It is our hope that the United Student Communication Fund will con tinue to pressure the media and the administration. As students, you can help as a group or as individuals by sending a donation to: United Student Communication Fund, P. 0. Box 712, Whit tier, California, 90601. If you would like to head up your campus drive, send your name and name of college to the same address for posters and additional in formation. Sincerely yours, United Student Communication Fund ' &
