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.”

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.
Instead, the award was made to
Squadron 1 on the basis that it
was the first resident organization
to make a 100 per cent contribu
tion to the drive, Stanton said.
Last Friday’s deadline has been
put off, Stanton added. The drive
will be extended as long as dona
tions are continued to be made.
Stanton said he was told that
several units still have more money
to be turned in. Contributions
may be deposited under account
Number 160 at the student finance
office in the Memorial Student
Center.

Death Claims
Ex-First Lady
In New York
NEW YORK Mrs. Franklin
D. 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.
