Grateful Letter
ForBlood Drive
The Student Senate and the
A&M student body received a
heartfelt letter of appreciation to
day from J. B. Baldwin, president
of the Southwestern Chapter of the
National Hemophilia Foundation,
for their participation in the blood
drive last Nov. 6.
A quota of 325 pints of blood
Kvas the original goal of the drive,
but only 200 pints was collected.
Blame for the short figui’e,s was
placed on a variety of causes.
“Despite the adverse weather,
the delay in the arrival of the
bloodmobile and the Asian flu, the
drive was a real success,” said
Baldwin.
The blood was collected by the
Wadley Foundation in order to re
place the stock of desperately need
ed blood for hemophiliacs (free
bleeders) in the Southwest. The
foundation is a non-profit organi
zation.
Baldwin went on to say in his
letter: “Due to your effort and
generosity we will now be able to
alleviate the suffering and perhaps
save the lives of many young boys
who suffer from hemophilia. It
was by far the most successful
blood drive we have ever had.”
The drive at A&M was co-spon
sored by the Student Senate and
the College Station Lions Club.

lions Told About
SCON A Program
Although still in the formula
tion stages, we believe we have
one of the most beneficial pro
grams at any college in the nation
in the Student Conference On Na-
tioaal Affairs, Pat Resley, a
SCONA III representative, told
College Station Lions yesterday.
“SCONA is one program at
which Texas University nor any
other school can beat us,” he de
clared as he explained the organ
ization and its function to the
group yesterday at their luncheon
meeting.
Resley said the chief aim of
SCONA was to enlighten college
students throughout the United
States, Canada and Mexico on na
tional and international affairs
and foreign policy.
‘ SCONA 1 and SCONA II were
termed outstanding successes by
Resley, who said he felt SCONA
III would be even more success
ful.
The program is sponsored by
Texas business who wish to see
the nation’s young men interested
in how the government operates.
This year, 144 delegates from all
over the U. S., Canada and Mexico
will have all expenses paid here for
the 3% day conference. Key fig
ures in American government will
deliver the major speeches and
lead the round table discussions, he
said.
