■ Possible Record
Looms At $2,010
By last night $2,010.53 has been counted by Campus
Chest workers and all reports were not complete, said 1961-
62 Drive Chairman Johnny Anthis.
Anthis said 16 organizations had contributed at least
100 per cent by the campaign goal of “A dollar from an Aggie,
for an Aggie.” There were 13 corps units and 4 civilian dorms
that had not submitted any collections or reports.
“From all reports this seems like the second or third
largest drive in its nine-year history,” Anthis said. “This
is definitely the largest amount collected since 1958, which
is as far as our records go.”
Last year two separate drives netted only a total of $716.

^Twelve Angry Men 9 Opens
With Swaying Of Emotions
By TOMMY HOLBEIN
Battalion Managing Editor
“Whichever way you decide, the
verdict must be unanimous!’’ With
these words, an unseen judge in
troduced the first scene of “Twelve
Angry Men,” which opened last
night in Guion Hall, the Aggie
Players’ first production of the
season.
Unique in its setting, the entire
three-act play occurs in a hot,
sultry jury room where twelve men
argue pro and con concerning the
life or death of a teen-age boy
accused of stabbing his father.
Underlying theme of the play is
the true meaning of the phrase,
“beyond a reasonable doubt.” At
the stai't, 11 jurors are convinced
of the accused boy’s guilt; one is
not.
As the element of doubt is
brought forth by various members

Investigation
Continues In
UT Panty Raid
COLLEGE OFFICIALS
SET DISCIPLINARY
ACTION TOMORROW
Reports from Austin indicate
students are still being questioned
after a major panty raid on the
campus last Thursday night.
The investigation, according to
Dean of Student Life Arno No-
wotny, was to have continued
through today.
Dean Nowotny said that “about
50 men” had been questioned by
Saturday. The Discipline Commit
tee will meet tomorrow afternoon
to decide what action will be taken.
Blanket taxes and other identifi
cation were taken from some par
ticipants by University officials
during the raids at women’s dormi
tories and sorority houses. Pictures
taken also will be used in identi
fying participants.
The raid started about 11 p.m.
Thursday when Austin firemen an-
swex*ed an alarm at Moore-Hill
Hall, where a waste basket was in
flames. Residents of Moore-Hill,
Brackenridge, Prather and Roberts
halls poured into the streets as
the fire trucks arrived. The group
picked up reinforcements at San
Jacinto Dormitory and gathered at
Kinsolving Dormitory for the first
raid.
Growing to an estimated 2,500
strong, the mob visited Blanton,
Kinsolving, Scottish Rite, Caro-
thers and Andrews dormitories,
Kirby Hall and various sorority
houses. The demonstrations lasted
about two hours.
Raiders did not enter any of the
women’s housing residences. Aus
tin patrolmen assisted University
police in breaking up the crowd.
Several students were arrested and
taken to police headquarters but
were later released to University
authorities.
One student was treated Friday
morning for an “injured nose” be
lieved to have been received dur
ing the raids. The Student Health
Center would not release his name
or information concerning the ex
tent of his injury. 4
and attitude are thrown back and
forth.
Conflicts between the two sides
rage throughout the three acts;
each present arguments of sound
reasoning blended >vith emotionsU-
ism, and other members sway back
and forth with their “guilty” and
“non-guilty” votes.
In a stage setting centered about
a long jury table with a single
light and circulating fan beaming
down from above, an air of melan
choly doubt is cast over the jurors
as they strive for justice.
In one corner is a water cooler,
emphasizing the heat of summer
time. The jurors sit with loosened
ties, one complains and gasps with
a summer cold, and perspiration
flows as tension mounts.
Soon after its start, the play
begins a series of tension-mounting
incidents as new light and evidence
is cast on the crime, and the bal
ances on the scale of justice move
up and down.
Each of the jurors has an oppor
tunity to speak his piece, and many
find it hard to control their com
posure in doing so. Violence breaks
out periodically, as convinced men
clash with others equally decided
in an opposite way.
“Twelve Angry men” fully cap
tured the attention of its 135-
person audience, from start to
finish. Its exciting interchange of
violent and emotional dialogue pro
vided a stimulating three acts of
intrigue and intei’est, and another
successful “opening night” for the
Aggie Players.
tee of the Student Senate is
automatically in charge of the
fund drive, said concrete
figures would not be available until
after the A&M-University of Texas
game Thanksgiving Day.
“We plan to have tubs for con-
tributions at both the SMU and
Texas games,” he said.
Squadron 4 was named winner
of the bronze plaque awarded for
the most money per man given
from a Corps unit or a Civilian
dorm. The 94 cadets of the
squadron kicked in $163.75 to win
the plaque.
The 16 organizations gaining 100
per cent contribution status during
the drive were Companies D-l, B-l,
C-2 and B-3, Squadrons 3, 4, 6,
8, 11 and 14, 1st Battle Group
Staff, 4th Battle Group Staff, 2nd
Group Staff, Corps Staff, The Bat
talion and the A&M Chapter of the
American Ordnance Association.
Overall ratings are 1st Wing,
2nd Wing, 1st Brigade, 3rd Bri
gade, 2nd Brigade and civilian
housing units.
The campaign’s original goal
was $7,000 by last Friday. Last
Wednesday the deadline was ex
tended to yesterday.
“We are well satisfied and
pleased, even if we didn’t reach
the original goal, the workers and
committee members are all pleased
that we have done so well,” An
this said.
Consistent feature of the fund
has been the Aggie Chest, which
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
existence, 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 percent goes to
the Brazos County Tuberculosis
Association; a second 10 per cent
to the College Station Community
Chest, and a third 10 per cent to
the March of Dimes. The remain
ing 70 percent is retained in the
Aggie Chest.
STATE DIFFERENCES
MAY SPELL DEFEAT
FOR RESOLUTIONS
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—UP)
The U. N. General Assembly and
its political committee approved
resolutions yesterday aimed at end
ing tests of nuclear weapons. Big
power differences appeared to
doom both in advance.
The assembly adopted a proposal
by India and five nonaligned na
tions urging a voluntary mora
torium on testing. It was rejected
by the United States, Britain,
France and the Soviet Union.
Earlier the assembly’s political
committee approved a U. S.-British
resolution calling for new East-
West xiegotiations on a test-ban
treaty providing effective interna
tional controls. The Soviet Union
called it a stillborn proposal and
said flatly there never would be
such negotiations.
The vote in the assembly was
71 to 20 with 8 abstentions. The
United States and the Soviet bloc
joined in the negative votes. Ab
stainers were Afghanistan, Bel
gium, Cuba, Haiti, Netherlands,
New Zealand, Spain and Tunisia.
Both U. S. Delegate Arthur Dean
and British Delegate J. B. Godber
rejected the moratorium on the
grounds that it failed to provide
for controls. Semyon K. Tsarap-
kin, the Soviet delegate, said a
moratorium would only result in
Soviet inferiority in nuclear arms
might.
The assembly’s committee ap
proved by a vote of 67 to 11 with
16 abstentions a U.S.-British reso
lution urging a renewal of the
test-ban talks that collapsed in
Geneva last September.
The opposing votes were cast by
the Soviet bloc, Mongolia and
Cuba. France, Finland and Yugo
slavia abstained, as did some mem
bers of the Asian-African bloc.
India voted yes. Nine nations were
absent.
