Making: definite plans fpr ci-
lilian participation in this year’s
[Wire, the Civilian Bonfire Com
mittee met Wednesday niprht in
tie lounge of Puryear Hall with
five persons present.
Gene Anderson, civilian coord-
ktor to the Bonfire Committee,
laid an all-out effort will be made
to get full participation by civil
ian students this yeaar.
The committee is set up in the
Mowing manner: Homero Can-
will be in charge of the stack-
area; Bob Richardson will di-
itct civilian activities in the cut-
ing area; and other members of
the committee, including Bryan
McCool and Chris Galendo, will
also conduct activity in the build
ing effort.
“This will be carried out in nor
mal bonfire procedure, and we
want to stress that it is essential
that the civilians come out to work
the Saturday of Bonfire—all stu
dents not attending the game are
requested to come out and work.
Since the Corps Boys are going
to be gone, it will be our job,”
said Anderson.
Cadets will be on a Corps trip
to Houston, where the Aggies
play the Rice Owls on Nov. 18,
and no members of the Corps will
be able to begin work until Sun
day.
Civilians will be asked to guard
the center pole Friday and Satur
day nights; any civilian interested
in working should contact his
dorm president. Also, he should
tell his dorm president what ex
perience he has had on the bon
fire. By Friday, Nov. 3, the list
should be complete, and meetings
will be called on the dorm level for
all interested students.
The men will then elect their
i own crew leader from each dorm.
This will give two weeks to
| organize.

V. A. Patients
Guests At
or Game
BayL
More than 35 patients and dom-
icilian members of the Veterans
Administration Center at Temple
will be guests of the College and
the Athletic Department at the
A&M-Baylor football game tomor
row*.
The patients, accompanied by
nurses and Mrs. Margaret Wade,
trip supervisor, will arrive shortly
before noon and have lunch in
Duncan Dining Hall. They will
be met by P. L. “Pinkie” Downs
Jr., official greeter for the Col
lege, in charge of local arrange
ments.
The guests wall be seated along
the cinder path in box seats on
the west side of Kyle Field. Pro
grams and refreshments will be
served the guests and following
the game they w r ill have their
evening meal at Duncan Dining
Hall.
There are 1,200 patients at the
Center at present. “This will be
the sixteenth time the group has
been our guests,” Downs said.
Restricted Autos
Pose Problem To
Traffic Officers
Parking of restricted automo
biles on pi’ivate propeity by A&M
students has become one of the
major problems of the police de
partment, College Station Chief of
Police Lee Norwood said today.
“While cooperation of the stu
dent has been very good in many
matters,” Norwood said, “Some
students whose cars have been re
stricted are not very particular
where they leave them parked off
the campus.”
Citing a recent example, Nor
wood said a student parked his
automobile in an area which in
terfered with the unloading of a
truck. He added that blocking of
driveways and entrances was not
uncommon.
Clenn E. Bolton, patrolman sup
ervisor for Campus Security, said
that the students themselves are
the determining factor in the re
striction of automobiles. Each stu
dent who receives a ticket has the
option of a 30-day restriction or a
fine, if his car has been properly
registered.
If the vehicle has not been reg
istered or the student receives
five tickets, the restriction is auto
matic. Students whose cars are re
stricted are not required to take
them homo but must leave them
off the campus unless otherwise
directed.
be presented to all units and
dorms wdth 100 per* cent contribu
tions, and a special bronze plaque
will be given the group with the
highest contributions per man.
In existence nine years, the
Campus Fund has been handled
through the Student Semite Wel
fare Committee, this year under
the chairmanship of Johnny An-
this. This yeqr’s goal is $1 “from
an Aggie, for an Aggie.’
Consistent feature of the fund
has been the Aggie Chest, v'hich
is. used to assist fellow students
who suffer a tragedy of some sort,
such as an accident, fire or neces
sary operation.
Special effort is made to in
vestigate each case to assure the
fact that the offer is needed and
will not be offensive. During its
nine years of history, the Campus
Chest has brought much-needed
help to many hundreds of Aggies
who would not have received it
otherwise.
Other agencies besides the
chest benefit, also; 10 per cent
goes to the Brazos County Tuber
culosis Association; a second 10
per cent to the College Station
Community Chest, and a third 10
per cent to the March of Dimes.
The remaining 70 per cent is re
tained in the Aggie Chest.

Health Service
Says Fallout
Needs Watch
WASHINGTON (A 5 ) — Fallout
Iqvels from Soviet nuclear explo
sions thus far do not warrant un
due public concern or drastic ac
tion, a U.S. Public Health Service
statement said yesterday.
However, the statement added
that present levels “do warrant
continuous, intensive surveillance
by federal, state and local gov
ernments and consideration of
protective measures which might
be taken if they should be found
necessary.”
The statement was issued as
the health service began an ex
traordinary two-day meeting to
consider what steps might be ta
ken on all levels of government
if fallout hazards become acute.
Attending the closed-door meet
ing were about 100 federal, state
and local health officers repre
senting every state. The health
service said special problems that
may develop in particular areas
were receiving attention.
As the meeting convened, U.S.
Weather Bureau officials said the
