Hannigan and addressed to Stu dent Senate President Roland Dommert. The letter concerned the work of the Civilian Dress Committee of the Student Senate.) “The College Executive Commit tee received and discussed the let ter from the Student Senate on the subject of civilian dress on the campus at a meeting Nov. 21. The Executive Committee desires to commend the work of the Senate and of the students who composed the Civilian Dress Committee for their carefully considered guide governing civilian dress on the campus. “The Executive Committee voted unanimously to give its full back ing to these representatives of the student body in their effort to insure that undergraduate stu dents on the campus present a neat appearance and wear approp riate clothing at all times.

V. Krenitsky has reported. He em- phisized the figure is still incomplete with more collections not yet added in. This amount is still $1,436.01 shy of the original goal. Effort chairman Dr. Dale F. Leipper said he thought the goal could be reached. He said the drive would continue to pick-up contributions until the goal was attained. December paychecks will be coming out soon and that will give those who have not yet contributed a chance to do so, he pointed out. The drive which was to officially end Nov. 15, has been continued because of failure 4- World Wrap-Up By The Associated Press Prison Sentences Upset NEW YORK—A federal appeals court Monday upset the prison sentences of 20 delegates to the 1957 underworld con vention at Apalachin, N. Y. The government, which had boasted of the convictions, was soundly criticized for its handling of the case from start to finish. The three-man U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, unani mously dismissing the convictions, called the government’s case “a bootstrap operation,” based on “crash methods.” The opinion, in effect, accused the government of setting up a series of unproven assumptions, and then belaboring the defendants because they refused to go along with them. The prosecution never should have been started at all, the opinion held. ★ ★ ★ Catholics Take Step Against Castro HAVANA—The Roman Catholic Church has taken an other long step in its battle with Fidel Castro with distribu tion of a critical article by Auxiliary Bishop Eduardo Boza Masvidal of Havana. The bishop declared all Catholics would have supported Castro’s social revolution “had it been based on just measures without destroying the legitimate rights of anyone.” The article, bristling with condemnation of Castro poli cies, was distributed in Havana churches a few hours before the prime minister accused the Catholic clergy in Cuba of preaching conterrevolutionary sermons for pay. dent body of the existing 1960 College Regulations which require that students wear suitable cloth ing for the activity in which they are engaged and that for class and regular campus wear the clothing be neat and clean and complete. “The Civilian Dress Committee report will be used as a guide by enforcement agencies of the cam pus. These agencies will take into consideration exceptions which may be required for medical rea sons or because of different cus toms in the case of foreign stu dents. “It it our belief that the report of the Civilian Dress Committee as approved by the Student Senate constitutes a reasonable guide which can improve the general ap pearance, of the student body on the campus. These high stand ards have already been attained by most of our undergraduate stu dents and the appearance of the student body, with an occasional exception, is already a definite credit to the students of the Col lege.” Five Proposals The five proposals submitted to the Executive Committee by the Civilian Dress Committee provided that “T” shirts, including practice jerseys, will not be worn on the campus by a student unless he is participating in an athletic ac tivity. “Shower shoes will not be worn outside of the dormitory. “Tattered trousers will not be worn on the campus. “Socks will be worn with shoes of all kinds at all times. “Students will be required to have a neat appearance on the campus at all times.” Members of the Civilan Dress Committee are Mike Carlo, chair man; Lee Griggs, Randy Sanders, Hank Farrow, Bill Flynt, and Har ry Goss. to meet the $15,150 goal. Leipper said that workers would continue their canvass ing until after Dec. 10.

TO UNITS, COUNCILS Gay Reveals Xmas Plans In a memorandum to all military units and civilian coun cils, J. Gordon Gay, coordinator of Religious Life and Gen eral Secretary of the YMCA, says: “Thanksgiving is. over, and before we know it, Christmas will be here. So now is the time^ - for your organization to make plans to help some of the' needy and underprivileged children of Eighteen Units Praised For No Freshmen Losses President Rudder today expressed his congratulations to the eleven cadet units and seven civilian dormitories which have not lost a single freshman since school started nine weeks ago. Pointing out the fact that re-'* cently posted grades might have a discouraging effect upon some stu dents, Rudder said that this rec ord was “definitely worthy of com mendation.” Dean Hannigan added his con gratulations to those of President Rudder. “It indicates a high level of unit esprit and a spirit of help fulness on the part of the cadet Hogs Dominate All - SWC officers and civilian leaders con cerned,” said Hannigan. The cadet units which share this enviable record are: Companies H-l, F-l, G-l, D-2, F-2, G-2, I and K-2; Squadron 3, 7 and 10. Civilian dormitories sharing the record are: Legett, Mitchell, Pur- year, Law, Hart and Bizzell Halls and the Project Houses. The Battalion also commends these fine units and dormitories for the spirit of helpfulness they have shown this semester. College Station and Bryan. After consulting with several local principals and spcial workers, it was suggested that a more joy ous and profitable Christmas would result from a unit or dormitory group taking a family and provid ing useful gifts, things that will be lasting, rather than taking groups of children to dinner or giving bags of candy and fruit. These children are naturally ner vous when they get with a large group of strange people in a strange place. Take A Family , “It was also suggested that your organization take a family (or two families, whichever you prefer) and go into the homes, talk to the parents and look at the conditions in which the children live. In this way you will better be able to determine what kind of gifts are really needed and from which gifts the family would get the most good. “Some suggestions concerning the articles most needed were: shoes, most prefer tennis shoes; blue jeans, underwear, dresses- skirts-blouses, sweaters, dolls for small girls, shoe polish, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, good pairs of socks ,boys and girls), shirts, balls, gloves, bats, etc. for small boys, and soap. Names Turned In “The names of approximately 70 families have been turned in as people who are in need of assist ance. We have the number of chil dren, ages, and sex in each of the families. Your Christmas will be more profitable and enjoyable when you know that you have helped some child have a more joy ous Christmas season. This will be your project; no at tempt will be made to dictate de tails or the kind of party or gifts you select. Be sure to send your commanding officer or first ser geant by the Chapel to obtain the necessary information prior to 5 p. m. Dec. 10. Lets give these chil dren a Christmas they will always remember!” Mrs. Glenda Fagan, All Faiths’ Chapel, has the names and address es for families, Gay says. ■ytf Iliil : J # ^ I siliiiiii I * ' Elephant Walk Begins The long line of seniors participating in Tuesday’s elephant walk passes in front of “Sully” at the beginning of the an nual campus tour.
