Signed by Dean of Students James

Dommert. The letter concerned
the work of the Civilian Dress
Committee of the Student Senate.)
“The College Executive Commit

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

student body in their effort to

Total Remains
Short Of Goal
The United Chest drive reached tthe $13,713 mark last
night, drive treasurer M. 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-

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.

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

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.”

Committee are Mike Carlo, chair

Leipper said that workers
would continue their canvass
ing until after Dec. 10.
Part of the uncollected amount
is traceable to one college depart
ment which has over 200 members
who have not given to the fund.
The campaign has been divided
up into three sections. They are:
A&M Campus, John C. Calhoun;
Community and Commercial
Groups, H. E. Burgess, and Fed
eral Employees, I. H. Lloyd.
The team captains designated
by the group leaders are: A&M

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^ -

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

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.
