Chest officials applauded volun teer workers whose receipts for the 10-day campaign totaled $16,393.19, or 91 per cent of the goal. “This response is most encour aging,” declared Chris H.

Reporting 100 per cent giving were Chemurgic laboratory of the Texas Engineering Experi ment Station, Counseling and Test ing Service, Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation Service, Agricultural Marketing Service, FBI, Federal Crop Insurance Corp oration, and the Department of Industrial Education. The campaign director noted the ASC agency employs more than 70 persons. Groneman also pointed out the work of E. E. Vezey who solicited College Station citizens.

The two said they had been asked to come to the meeting because some of the Cadets on campus wanted to know what they could do “to save the Corps of Ca dets at Texas A&M.” THE MEETING came on the heels of swearing in ceremonies of the Cadet officers of the Corps Thursday afternoon at which time Col. Denzil L. Baker explained the position of commandant’s officer in relationship to the Corps of Ca dets. However, the meeting of the group with Chandler and Rowland had been scheduled prior to the 5 p.m. swearing-in ceremonies. Rowland and Chandler told the students that if they really want ed to fight co-education at A&M (which they contend is causing lack of Spirit in the Corps of Ca dets) they must organize and get themselves a leader. THE STUDENTS then decided that they should form a commit tee made up of representatives of the Corps units which were pres ent at the meeting. This commit tee was instructed by the group to organize a concentrated fight for its goals and organize the frame work for Chandler’s suggested chant at the TCU-A&M game. Rowland promised the group that if they would draw up a reso lution stating their purposes, he would see to it that “it gets into all the papers in the state.” Raymond V.

By GLENN DROMGOOLE Battalion News Editor In an effort to eliminate obscene signs from campus dormitories, the Student Senate resolved Thursday night to conduct weekly football sign contests for the remainder of the grid season. The contest will begin Monday, with judging scheduled for Wednesday. Competition will be campus-wide, with Corps dorms and civilian dorms competing in the same contest. Upon suggestion of Larry Garrett, a minimum prize of $5 will be awarded to the outfit or civilian dorm with the winning sign. Signs will be judged on the bases of originality, humor and satire. Bob Miller, chairman of the Senate’s student life commit tee, is in charge of arranging and conducting the contest. COMMENTING on the appearance of signs constructed so far this year, junior Senator Frank Muller said, “They are crude, let’s face it; some of them are lewd.” Corps commander Paul Dresser said that sign regulating had been originally delegated to the Corps chaplains. “We didn’t want our chaplains to act as a police force,” Dresser noted. “Many of the signs are not sym bols of outfit spirit,” Dresser ad ded. “It’s not good Aggie bull.” Yard Man To Talk Dr. J. M. A. Leninhan of Glas gow, a Scotland Yard consultant, will speak of scientific technique and crime 8 p. m., Monday, in the Architecture Building Audi torium. He went on to say that the purpose of the football signs in the past has not been to see “just who can cut a picture out of play boy magazine and put in into writ ing.” Contest winners will be an nounced in The Battalion every Friday following Wednesday’s judging. Deadline for displaying signs will be Wednesday noon, the Senate decided. IN OTHER Senate business, Al lan Peterson, chairman of the stu dent welfare committee, announced plans for the Campus Chest drive. The drive actually began the night of the University of Hous ton football game, when buckets were placed at various points to solicit contributions. The drive’s kickoff banquet is scheduled for Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. At this banquet Peterson will en courage senior leadership in con ducting dorm campaigns. With the seniors behind the drive, Peterson noted, “We could top $5,000 or $8,000, and that would be more than this college ever collected.” A PLAQUE won by Sqd. 1 last year, will be presented to the out fit or civilian dorm leading in con tributions. To be eligible for the award, a dorm organization must have 100 per cent contribution, Peterson added. R. of Hoffa Looks Longingly At The AFL-CIO WASHINGTON or*)—James Hoffa, the tough little giant the labor world, is looking anew at bringing his Teamsters Union back into the fold of the AFL-CIO next month. But labor sources say his chanc es this year remain about the same as they have been since the Team sters were ousted from the AFL- CIO on corruption charges in 1957 —zero. THE CONDITIONS set by AFL- CIO President George Meany for the return of the Teamsters are unchanged: 1. Getting rid of Hoffa as pres ident of the Teamsters — the world’s largest union with about 1.7 million members. 2. Assurances that the contro versial Teamsters will live up to the constitution of the AFL-CIO. HOFFA, who said in Detroit earlier this week that “it is only a matter of time until the Team sters are back in the AFL-CIO,” apparently won’t personally lead the new attempt at re-entry at the AFL-CIO convention in New York beginning Nov. 14. It will come through resolutions presented by the Michigan State Building and Construction Trades Council at the AFL-CIO Building Trades meeting Nov. 6, prior to the main convention. BUILDING and construction trades sources predict such a reso lution would not get enough sup port to get to the floor of the AFL-CIO convention. There are other ways in which a pro-Teamsters resolution could get before the main convention, but one well-placed source said “as long as Meany is president of the AFL-CIO and Hoffa is President of the Teamsters, he, Hoffa, won’t get back in.” Solemn Occasion Seniors repeat oath of office in Guion Hall Thursday evening before hearing Col.
