Buchanan spoke to the group Tuesday night in its first meet ing of the year. He offered his per sonal support to the student SAME chapter in its efforts this year. The organization provides orientation for students who plan to be civilian or military engineers. He discussed some of the pro grams with which the Corps of Engineers is associated. The Mill- ican Dam project in this area is typical of the projects which are supervised. The 18 graduates who are train ing on campus are affiliated mem bers of the national SAME and have also offered their services to the students chapter. They have volunteered to assist in the plan ning of programs and organizing of trips for members of the chap ter. The organization meets the first Tuesday night of each month and tries to sponsor a social event once a month. Officers of the chapter for this year are Joe Saenz, president; Larry Porter, frist vice president; Andy Watts, second vice president; Bill Gibbons, secretary; Don Gil more, treasurer; and Frank Owens, reporter. College Millions James H. Kingcaid Sr., manag er of the college laundry, will soon mark a milestone in his 52-year career in laundries. Late in October he begins his sixteenth year as manager of the college laundry. Kingcaid began his career while a grade school pupil in his home town of Cleburne. During World War I he and his brothers would drive to Camp Bowie, at Brown- wood, to pick up soldiers’ laundry. The veteran laundry man, how ever, prefers talking about the college laundry to discussing him self. More than 68,800,000 pieces of laundry have been handled by the college laundry since Kingcaid’s arrival. Statistics show an average of more than 5,000,000 pieces a year, approximately 1,000,000 pieces more than when Kingcaid arrived. “THE INCREASED volume is being turned out faster and with fewer employes,” Kingcaid said. New equipment is one reason for the increased rate. Once the operation is in full swing this semester, a student should have clean laundry within 48 hours after leaving his bundle at a campus substation, promised Kingcaid. The large, efficiently laid out plant contains tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment. More than $60,000 was invested re cently in equipment to allow better finishing of shirts. A major problem of Kingcaid’s is keeping hourly employes. There are aproximately 160 employes in Action Can Be Promoted A community problem can be solved by consulting the proper people and groups, R. L. Hunt said at the Tuesday meeting of the College Station Kiwanis Club in the MSC. Hunt, director of development planning here, has participated in organizing groups for civic action in several areas of the southwest and has received state and na tional citizenship awards for his work. He suggested that the proper groups and people include “initia tors, promoters, legitimizers, dif fusers, evaluators, planners, strat egists, launchers and action work ers.” Hunt said the key word in suc cessful group action is “participa tion by all members.” COPYRIGHT © 1961, THE COCA-COLA COMPANY.

The num ber will decrease as the opening weeks’ rush passes. More employ es will be laid off when cadets switch to winter uniforms in Dec ember. “MORE STUDENTS should rea lize that clothes are money,” King caid said in commenting upon one of the laundry’s problems. The bundle tied up in a sheet or knot ted up trousers with a clothes hanger as a fastener presents a problem. Sheets are easily torn when used for transporting bun dles of laundry, while a clothes hanger fastener often tears cloth ing in other bundles. Another prob lem is bundles of laundry turned in without a ticket. Each item in a bundle is checked in individually upon arrival at the laundry. As a final step, each laun dered piece is checked against the original list when a bundle is be ing prepared for final wrapping. Kingcaid came to A&M from the National Hotel Chain, which he served as general laundry manager. Most of his work prior to coming was in the hotel laundry field. He takes pride in the quality of shirt finishing done at the laundry, comparing it favorably with far higher priced work done in hotel laundries.
