Aggies Invade Dallas Area For Wild, Woolly Weekend United Chest At 50 Per Cent; eek To Go ’ ■ By KENT JOHNSON Battalion Staff Writer The College Station United Chest ampaign Wednesday completed the first week of its two-week irive, collecting over half of the inoney needed to meet its goal of 117,000.' Campaign workers were “high ly” satisfied with the United Chest’s progress Wednesday after signs of “lagging interest” were shown earlier in the drive. “We are now exactly half way hrough the campaign. It appears hat if we can depend on the con- ;ributions coming in at this rate, ive will meet our goal,” said Dr. W. J. Graff, campaign chairman. Graff, dean of instruction at A&M, reported that 56 percent, or 59,543, had been accounted for by p.m. Wednesday. SOME $552 in post-dated checks ind pledges have been given to United Chest representatives. “We ncourage this. Some people want o pay later, but we urge them to larticipate now,” the dean said. Many groups have reported high Dercentage donations, but no more 100 per cent donations have been nade. Presently four agencies lave made a full effort. They are: Campus Cleaners; Burgess, Uashion & Haddox, Feed and Fer- ilizer Control Service; and the Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences. Graff said: “We wish people would not bold back and wait to make their ontributions. We urge them to volunteer their gifts now. "There is a representative in every department or agency of- ice at A&M and for every busi ness in College Station.” Graff asked everyone who has not been contacted by a drive rep resentative to find one and con tribute a day’s pay. "We have contacted all our workers and asked that they give ■everyone a chance to make a do- Ination. I “It IS exti-emely important that |we support this one campaign,” fi Graff said, emphasizing that the money raised will support 17 dif ferent charities. If the $17,000 goal is not reached, the separate charities will have to stage individual campaigns throughout the year. “This is considered unsatisfac tory,” the chairman said. “I think some people overlook the fact that the sum we are asking for, a day’s wage, usually from $15 to $30, will be given to 17 charities so that they will not have to come to our doors asking for donations all through the year. “After all, the United Chest is everyone’s responsibility. Most of us enjoy good health and a high standard of living. We should expect our citizens to help others who are less fortunate.” U : m t- Tessies Schedule Open 1 louse Friday « Dismissal M { m . Squadron 1 Wins Campus Chest Bronze Plaque Squadron 1 was designated win ner of the Campus Chest bronze plaque award Wednesday, accord ing to Ken Stanton, chairman of the Student Senate welfare com mittee. Plans originally called for awarding the plaque to the corps unit or civilan dormitory which contributed the most money per man.

Roosevelt, 78, widow of the 32nd president of the United States died Wednesday night. Her heart apparently failed under the burden of increasingly grave ill ness. By coincidence, her death came exactly 30 years after she helped celebrate with her husband his election as president. Her interests were mj'riad. Al most no controversy escaped her attention—whether in internation al affairs or a domestic crisis in volving civil rights. On Sept. 26, Mrs. Roosevelt en tered Columbia-Presbyterian Med ical Center. She had suffered a lung infection and anemia. When her illness failed to yield to hos pital treatment, she was dis charged to her Manhattan apart ment at 55 E. 74th St. on Oct. 18. There she gradually faded until her death at 6:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Wednesday night. The family granted permission for an autopsy. Its purpose was not immediately made clear. However, the autopsy may have been scheduled in connection with Mrs. Roosevelt’s action in 1954 in willing her eyes after death to an eye bank.
