A Safe Investment
Why bonds?

"It's convenient to have Savings Bonds deducted from my paycheck
before I ever get to spend the money. The automatic savings really do
mount up. The interest rates are competitive and the interest earned
is tax free until you cash the bonds. That way I can defer payment of
interest on the investment until such time as better suits my
financial picture."--John Brook, vice president for government and
public relations

"Savings Bonds are an attractive, conservative piece of a
risk-diversified investment portfolio."--Karl Hassler, EDP auditor,
internal auditing

"I plan to use my Savings Bonds to save for my son's education. He's
14 months old. Just imagine what books will cost when he's ready to go
to college!"--Jenny Sparks, service coordinator, public safety

"I've found Savings Bonds an easy way to save through payroll
deduction. For the small investor, the return on your investment is
very good and that's important, considering the economy
today."--Virginia Tomlinson, staff assistant, instructional technology

"I think Savings Bonds are a good investment. They're convenient, and
if the money comes out of my paycheck, I won't spend it."--Frank B.
Dilley, chairperson, philosophy

"Savings Bonds are my life insurance policy. The only insurance I have
is through the University and when I am no longer able to work, I'll
rely on the bonds. It's an easy way to save through payroll deduction.
It's a good investment and I buy them for a very old fashion reason:
They do support the country."--Barbara Sharkey, assistant treasurer
for disbursements and purchasing

"I'm looking at a long-term, small investment to provide money for my
daughter's education. She's 4 years old and I've projected out the
cost of college when she's ready. Savings Bonds give me constant
growth. I've been buying them ever since she was born. Over the years,
Savings Bonds have performed well and they are a safe
investment."--Ronald F. Whittington, assistant to the president

"I'm so thankful that the University offers employees this convenient
savings opportunity because this portion of my savings is liquid and
payroll-deducted. This kind of saving is an important part of
financial planning."--Cheryl Granville, senior accountant, general
accounting

"I buy Savings Bonds because I don't have time to keep up with stocks
and other kinds of investments. Other investments may make more money,
but they may lose money as well. Bonds give me a sense of security. I
know what's going on and how much the bonds are worth."--Clifford
Sloyer, professor, mathematical sciences

"I buy them for my grandson.  Some day I want him to be able to go to
college or do whatever he wants to do."--Martha Fontanez, food service
worker, Russell Dining Hall

"Savings Bonds provide a little bit of security for my family's
future. I buy them because I can't keep money in the bank!"--Jess
Baker, mover, plant operations

"My wife and I buy them for our daughter's college education.
She's l8 months old. It's a long-term investment and she can't touch
them."--Paul Keenan, Cook A, Pencader Dining Hall

"I buy Savings Bonds because I think it is important to believe in
ourselves and to invest in things that will help the United States
grow and prosper. I think it's true that charity begins at
home."--Betty Paulanka, dean of nursing
