2500 Aggie Exes Spearhead
The Development Fund Drive
Twenty five hundred A&M men
will spearhead the Development
Fund drive for 11)54 beginning Sep
tember 1st. This is the second
year in the far reaching program
which calls a large organization of
A&M men in cities throughout the
United States who are ‘good will
ambassadors” for the Association’s
annual giving program.
The plan was conceived by the
Executive Board last year and ap
proved by the Association Council.
This year’s campaign is patterned
after last year’s program, only the
number of Fund Chairmen has been
increased from 1,370 in 1953 to
2,500 this year.
Association President Oscar T.
Hotchkiss, jr., ’24, Port Arthur,
A permanent plant protection
officers training school will soon
be launched by the Texas Engi
neering Extension service of the
A&M System.
The new course, to be sponsored
by the Industrial Plant Protection
Officers’ Association of Texas, will
be the first permanent instruction
program of its kind to be institut
ed in the United States, extension
service officials pointed out.
W. D. Beasley, coordinator of
police training for the extension
service, will direct the new train
ing course. Plans are being made
to conduct two one-week courses a
year on the A&M campus.
The school will be open to all
security supervisor personnel of
Texas, regardless of whether or
not they are members of the asso
ciation.
“Industrial plant protection has
become a vital, specialized branch
of modern police science, especially
with the ever-increasing need for
the protection of plants engaged in
manufacturing products for the
military services, and our new
course will do much to help Texas
industry better perform this im
portant task,” coordinator Beasley
says.
The decision to establish the
new training program was made
at a recent meeting of the board
has appointed 700 Fund Chairmen
for cities where less than 100 A&M
men reside.
The new feature of this year’s
program is the appointment of
Fund Chairmen by class in 28 cities
where more than 100 A&M men re
side.
A class chairman for approxi
mately every five men who have
not yet contributed to the 1954
F md has been asked to serve.
1,830 men will head up the cam
paign in these 28 cities.
In commenting on the plan. Pres
ident Hotchkiss said,
“The ultimate in a fund organi
zation would be the appointment
of every A&M man as a fund
chairman who would make his
of directors of the plant protection
association in Longview. A. T.
Deere, general superintendent of
Industrial Security, Texas Division,
at the Dow Chemical Company,
Freeport, and president of the/ as
sociation, presided at the meeting.
E. W. McAllister, personnel man
ager in charge of security at the
R. G. LeTourneau Manufacturing
Company, Inc., Longview, was host
to the group.
Members of the association’s
board of directors who attended
the meeting included: J. E. Clegg,
superintendent, plant protection
department, Humble Oil Refining
Company, Baytown; Arthur W. Al
len, chief, plant protection depart
ment, Lone Star Steel Company,

own gift. Since this is imprac
tical, we are asking 2,500 men
this year to serve. If each of
these Chairmen will average gifts
from five A&M men in Septem
ber, the 1954 Development Fund
will be the best in its twelve
year history.”
Each Fund Chairman will be pro
vided special materials and infor
mation concerning the Development
Fund, its purposes and how it oper
ates. The Fund Chairman and
others he may enlist to assist him
will present this . information to
other former students in order that
they may have a better understand
ing and a closer contact with this
program of the Association.
The Association is the most dem
ocratic organization of its kind.
Every A&M man is a member and
no membership dues are charged.
The Development Fund is in keep
ing with that democratic philo
sophy. Each Member is asked to
make a contribution each year of
whatever amount he wishes and
feels able to give. This one finan
cial solicitation is made for proj
ects of benefit to the College and
student body. Its strength lies in
the participation of many thou
sands of A&M men.
The work of the local Fund
Chairman will result in the fund
and the program of the Association
resting even more closely with the
great body of members.
It has been emphasized that
Fund Chairmen will not conduct
high pressure campaigns. They
will endeavor, however, to repre
sent the Development Fund in their
respective communities and classes.
They will provide information and
opportunity. They will serve to
strengthen the communication be
tween the Association and its mem
bership.
Association Vice President W. L-
Ballard, ’22, Dallas, said in a state
ment before A&M Clubs recently.
“Our major goal in our Fund
Program is to broaden our partici
pation to the end that every A&M
man make a gift every year. The
Development Fund Chairman or
ganization is a major step in the
attainment of that goal.”
