Campus Chest Coffers
Far Behind Of Goal
By TED JABLONSKI
Battalion Staff Writer
A little over $1,500 is now
“locked up” in the Campus Chest
as of Monday night, according to
Ken Stanton, chairman of the stu
dent welfare committee of the Stu
dent Senate. Deadline for the drive
was Friday.
“Only a few civilian groups and
approximately 50 per cent of the
Corps units have made donations,”
Stanton said. He said no contri
butions whatsoever have been re
ceived from an etire brigade.
Thirteen campus groups have
made 100 per cent contributions
as of last night, he added, They
are:
The Civilian Student Council,
Squadrons 1, 3, 8, and 14, First
Brigade Staff, Second Brigade
Staff, First Wing Staff and Sec
ond Wing Staff.
ALSO: FIRST Battle Group
Staff, Fourth Battle Group Staff,
Fifth Battle Group Staff and The
Battalion Editoi'ial and News
Staff.
Stanton said that more groups
are planning on turning in dona
tions today, therefore an exact
figure cannot be estimated until
they are received.
The expected goal for this year’s
drive was set at $8,000 and, so far,
the amount collected is far short
of this figure. “I believe that last
minute contributions will up our
present figure considerably,” Stan
ton said.
, SEVENTY per cent of the funds
collected will be given to Aggies
who need monetary assistance.
The remainder will be divided a-
mong the Brazos County Tubercu
losis Association, the March of
Dimes and the College Station
Community Chest.
A bronze plaque will be award
ed to the corps unit or civilian
dormitory which collects the most
per man. Since contributions are
still being received the winner of
this award has not yet been an
nounced.
A certificate will be awarded to
each group which averages $1 per
man.
“I’m dissappointed that outfits
and dorms have waited this long
to turn in their donations,” Stan
ton added.

C. S. United Chest Response
Lags; 39.2 Per Cent Raised
The annual United Chest drive
continued Tuesday in College Sta
tion with the campaign chairman
calling for renewed interest.
“As of this date the response
is somewhat disappointing,” Dr.
W. J. Graff declared. “We cannot
allow our interest to lag in this
important matter. The needs are
real.”
The A&M dean of instruction
hit the attitude of “Let Geox-ge do
it.”
“The United Chest is everyone’s
responsibility,” Graff emphasized.
“We can not, we must take the at
titude of ‘Let George do it.’ ”
The second report Tuesday
Graff listed four agencies with
100 per cent participation. They
are Campus Cleaners, Burgess-
Cashion & Haddox, Feed and Fer
tilizer Control Service and the Of
fice of the Dean of Arts and Sci
ences.
Generally, the response from
businesses, agencies 'and citizens
of College Station has been slow
to materialize.
“Departments and offices of
A&M College are responding more
readily but unless greater gener
osity is evidenced we will not
achieve our goal,” Graff said- “We
must indulge our sen*® of philan-
showed $6,661.35 or 39.2 per cent thropy. Through the administra-
of the $17,000 goal had been raised ' tion of the United Chest and the
since the drive opened last Thurs- : officers of the charities involved
day. The campaign will extend I we receive careful, thoughtful and
through Nov. 15. 1 sincere management of our funda.”

Over 2,500 persons, mostly students and student wives,
received Sabin Type II oral polio vaccine Sunday at a station
set-up in G. Rollie White Coliseum, according to Dr. Charles
R. Lyons, director of student health services.
Attendance was somewhat below expectations, Dr. Lyons
said, “But we have no way of knowing how many students
have received immunization in their home towns.”
Members of Alpha Phi Omqga, national service fraterni
ty for former Boy Scouts, assisted two doctors and six nurses
from the College Hospital staff.
“Without the 12 boys help, we would have really been
up against it. They were a great help and made the job a
lot easier,” Dr. Lyons said.
The doctor said that any
student, faculty member or
Bryan-College Station resi
dent who did not receive Type
II vaccine Sunday may be im
munized this week in the College
Hospital from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m.
Twenty-five-cents donations are
asked.
NO CHARGE except for re
quested donations is made for Type
II vaccine since payments is being
sponsored by the Junior Chamber
of Commerce.
Type I Sabin oral vaccine is also
available at the hospital. A fifty-
cent handling charge is made for
the vaccine because it was pux*-
chased by the hospital in small
lots.
“There are no definite plans at
this time, but we will undoubtedly
have Type III for those who want
it. It will be available about
Christmas,” Dr. Lyons said. A date
will be decided in a meeting later
this month.
The doctor said the immuniza
tion “ran smoothly, and there was
never any waiting except at the
beginning when we were waiting
for the vaccine to thaw.”
Three lines were formed for
children and adults, and one line
was used for infants and those
persons who wanted vaccine drops
rather than vaccine-soaked sugar
cubes.
The station in G. Rollie White
Coliseum was only one of many
set up throughout the county in
.public schools.
Czech Film
Displays Life
Under Fear
By ADRIAN ADAIR
Battalion Staff Writer
“Torn Between. Two Worlds,”
the first complete, uncensored col
or film on Czechoslovakia, pro
duced by Don and Bettina Shaw,
was presented Monday night by
the Great Issues Committee in the
Assembly Room of the MSC.
More than 400 persons attended
the film, the second in the new
“International Adventure” series
presented by the committee. Mrs.
Shaw narrated the film.
The film showed people inside
Czechoslovakia working, playing
and enjoying life despite the sus
picion and fear that fills the
country.
The couple actually .filmed the
country themselves. When the
guide apked them hot to t^ike pic
tures of a certain subject, they
went out of their way to!film it,
Mrs. Shaw said! • . :
“Everyone works for the gov
ernment,” Mrs. Shaw said. “No
one is allow to sell his products
for a profit.”
When asked would they like to
come to the United States, the
people replied, “Sure, but it’s just
impossible,” she commented.
The film is remarkable in telling
the life of the people. It includes
their factories, their fields, their
children, their hopes and, of course,
their fears.
