THE BATTALION
AGGIES PLAY SANTA CLAUS
Aid-To-Needy Program In Full Stride
Hundreds of Ag’gies are pre
paring to play Santa Claus to
needy families, following a leng
thening tradition of remember
ing others at this season of the
year.
Many local families will be
guests at special parties to be
staged by Corps of Cadets units
and civilian student groups.
The parties, marked by the giv
ing of toys, clothing and food
for the family, are due next Mon
day or Tuesday. The events will
be held late in the afternoon so
that children may attend and
Santa Claus also plans appear
ances.
The Aggies have their own
traditional Christmas dinner in
the college . dining halls next
Wednesday night and are home
ward bound after classes Thurs
day.
Almost 50 families were aided
during the Christmas season of
1961 through the giving of
A&M students, student wives’
clubs and the assistance of Col
lege Station churches and other
groups. As many families like
ly will be aided against this year,
college officials said.
The voluntary program now is
current form for about five
years, but the history of Aggies
helping needy fellow students
and persons off of the campus
is a long one.
The voluntary program no wis
coordinated through the office of
J. Gordon Gay, coordinator of
religious life and general secre
tary of the YMCA. Members of
the “Y” staff wrap the presents.
Representatives of groups
wanting to help needy families
pick names from a list supplied
by qualified authorities, or they
may find a needy family them
selves. The 51 families on the
list this year have from one
to nine children.

Talking Things Over
Two students are engaged in serious conversation about

By DAN LOUIS JR.
Battalion News Editor
In these days of freezing wea
ther the hottest spot on campus
is the Memorial Student Center.
It’s not that the heating system
there is any better than anywhere
else, there’s just a lot of talk go
ing on, and this talk combined
with the thinking behind it has
•generated a noticeable degree of
red hot interest in the eighth an
nual Student Conference On Na
tional Affairs.
The second floor of the MSC was
relatively quiet until the first
plenary session brokeup in the ball
room at about 3:30 p.m. Wednes
day. Then it began to happen.
Even before most of the delegates
had gotten to their feet to go to
roundtable conferences, the dis
cussions were underway.
DELEGATES, observers, advis
ors and everyone else in the ball
room had beep prompted to agree
or disagree with something Gen.
Frederic H. Smith Jr., former vice
chief of staff USAF, had said in
his talks on the “Role of the Mili
tary in World Peace.” All anyone
had to do to find someone to talk
it over with was look to his left
or right.
Talks Wednesday night by Ma
son Willrich, armament agency ad
visor, and the one this afternoon
by Vice President Johnson have
furnished more fuel for the flame
of thought.
However, as Hank Dalton, sen
ior at the U.S. Naval Academy,
stated, “Any exchange of ideas be
tween students from different
parts of the country is of immeas
urable value.”
“THIS LOOKS like it will be an
enlightening conference. The
speakers so far have been very in
teresting,” Dalton added.
Karen Swanson, sophomore so
ciology major from Stephens Col
lege, said, “The topics have been
most interesting.”
“The conference is very well or
ganized,” said Anne Shaw, senior
French major from Louisiana State
University.
“I think the speakers are very
good and the roundtables are most
interesting,” Anne said.
“It’s been real nice because
everyone has been so hospitable,”
she said, “It has been well worth
the trip so far.”
