“There will be a lot of new

United Chest
Fund Moves
Into Extra Day
The College Station United Chest
fund campaign moved Friday into
an extra day with hopes high that
the $18,000 goal would be reached
before the 4:30 p.m. report meet
ing of the Chest directors.
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. Grone-
man, campaign director. “It in
dicates College Station citizens and
A&M University are interested in
the 15 participating agencies which
meet community needs.”
Groneman reported five other
groups had joined the Silver Certi
ficate list. 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 College Station gifts this year
far exceeded previous drive totals
in this category.
‘We are most grateful to all
those who have worked and con
tributed,” Groneman said. “I feel
sure the goal will be attained this
weekend.”
Bob Rowland ’57 of Houston, and
Chandler met with the seniors in
a Bryan city park at about 8:30
Thursday. 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.”

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.

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.”
