HONG K O N G—Border area
sources said Tuesday more than
10,000 refugees crossed the fron
tier of this British crown colony
in the last four nights in futile
mass attempts to escape hunger-
ridden Red China.
All but a handful were rounded
tp by Hong Kong police and Brit
ish army troops and returned to
the Communist-dominated main
land. British authorities regard
this colony as too crowded now
with Chinese refugees to let them
stay.
Informants on the frontier said
thousands were waiting in the
brush on the China side to make
their attempt under cover of dai’k-
ness.

HARLINGEN — Search plane

aboard which was believed to be
down somewhere in the area south
west of Mexico.

missing in the same g'eneral area.
Flanes were dispatched from the
local base and the Naval Air Sta

Brown commended the senators
for the job they had done during
the school year, and urged them
to use their leadership influence to
promote academic superiority at
A&M. The speaker noted a distinct
upsurge in academic excellence al
ready present on campus, but pro-
posetl a program that would be
less involved and better understood
by the public.
He criticized the tendency many
students have of being satisfied
with C’s, and urged more student
reading and informal discussions.
Brown also advocated better stu
dent-teacher relationships, and
said both “are fighting, but not
against each other. We both should
strive for knowledge, enlightment,
responsibility and ability.

Patrick Greene
Is Disqualified
For Veep Post
The Student Senate Tuesday
night affirmed an election commis
sion recommendation and disqual
ified newly elected Senate vice
president Patrick Greene.
Action by • the senators culmin
ated nearly two hours of discus
sion. The senators voted 12 to 11
to disallaw Greene’s ascension to
office.
Two charges had been brought
against Green by his opponents—
one for posting campaign posters
in classroom buildings and the
other for leaving his posters up
for over one day after the May 4
election.
The election commission May 9
convicted Greene of the first
charge, but found him not guilty
of the second accusation. The
Senate did not vote on the separ
ate charges, but merely on a mo
tion whether or not to allow him
to take office.
According to college regulations,
the second-high candidate in the
election will automatically assume
the office. Running second to
Greene was Gregory H. Laughlin,
who received 310 votes, 40 less
than Greene.
Other candidates in the election,
all of whom joined Laughlin in
filing disqualification charges,
were Louis W. Zaeske, Shelburne
J. Veselka and Byrom T. Wehner.

Alumni Fund
Drives Started
Over The State
A&M former students are con
ducting Development Fund cam
paigns in more than 300 Texas
cities during the month of May,
according to Frank Harvey of
Wichita Falls, president of the As
sociation of Former Students. Har
vey said that “most of the city
campaigns would be concluded by
May 31.”
The 1962 goal is $500,000, with
$268,000 in unrestricted funds,
Richard (Buck) Weirus, director
of the association development
fund, said. $150,000 of this fund
has been earmarked for the pro
gram of academic excellence,
which includes faculty and staff
salary supplementations, faculty
research projects, graduate fellow
ships and other faculty assistance
programs.
“The remainder of the fund will
be used for Opportunity Award
Scholarships, Faculty Achievement
Awards and other worthwhile ob
jectives to support a c a d e m i c
achievement at A&M,” Weirus
stated.
In 1957 the Aggies won the $10,-
000 grand prize U. S. Steel Foun
dation Alumni Incentive Award
with nearly 50 per cent of the
alumni participating in the pro
gram.
“This year the Aggies should
reach a new all-time high, as more
than 10,000 gifts have already
been received by the college,”
Dick Hervey, executive secretary
of the association, said. He said
that the response thus far indi
cates that “we will reach 75 per
cent participation and set an all-
time record for alumni giving for
a state-supported institution.”
The executive board announced
that a concentrated drive to create
intei'est in corporate aid to the
fund will be launched during the
last six months of 1962.
