$5,000 Set As
By MIKE ODOM
Battalion Staff Writer
“Five thojusand dollars has
been,set as the goal of the Cam
pus Chest this year,” said Alan
Peterson, chairman of the Stu
dent Welfare Committee.
Peterson said that $3,000 was
collected in last year’s campaign
and that he was sure that if the
student body will support the
drive, 100 per cent of the goal
can be reached.
This year’s drive will be kicked
off at a banquet in the Assem
bly Room of the Memorial Stu
dent Center Thursday at 7 p.m.
The presidents of the civilian
dormitories and the command
ing officers of all the outfits in
the Corps of Cadets are to be
present in order that the me
thods of collecting the funds, and
how they are to be turned in,
can be explained by Peterson. A
At this time he will also dis
cuss the ways the money will
be used.
W. J. Graff, Dean of Instruc
tion, will speak on why stu
dents and other people connected
with A&M should contribute to
the Campus Chest campaign.
Peterson said the money col
lected will be used in the follow
ing ways:
Sixty per cent of the funds
will be used for Aggies in need
of financial assistance. The
money is given, not loaned, on
the condition that it will enable
an Aggie to remain in school.
This assistance applies to the
family of any Aggie if it is need
ed to allow the Aggie to continue
his education.
Last year the Campus Chest
donated $154 to help pay for an
Aggie’s hospital bill. In addi
tion to direct assistance, the
Chest arranged for aid from the
Wichita Falls A&M Mother’s
Club ancl from several other or
ganizations on the campus.
Thirty per cent of the funds
will be divided three ways with
10 per cent going to the College
Station Community Chest, 10 per
cent to the Brazos County Tuber-
Campus Chest Goal
culosis Association, and 10 per
cent going to the March of
Dimes.
He added that the remaining
10 per cent is given to various,
deserving organizations through
out the world.
One of the organizations the
Campus Chest gave money to last
year was the World University
Service. This group receives fi
nancial assistance from univer
sities throughout the world and
uses it to help provide food, med
ical expenses and other needs of
university students in underpri-
viliged countries.
Money was also sent to Uni
versity College Pius XII in South
Africa to aid in a scholarship
program.
Peterson said that one propos
ed project of the Campus Chest
is the adoption of an orphan
from the Cal Farley’s Boys’
Ranch in Amarillo. He said that
this project was started last year
and that he hoped this year it
would be successful.
Peterson said that civilian
dormitory presidents and com
manding officers will be in
charge of the collection of the
money from their respective or
ganizations. The organizations
that contribute 100 per cent will
be awarded a certificate of com
mendation and the organization
that contributes the most over
100 per cent will be awarded a
plaque that is to be kept by the
winning organization.
“This is an award that every
organization should work hard
to win and one that all would be
proud to own,” said Peterson.
“Tubs will be placed at the
exits of Kyle Field during foot
ball games for persons who wish
to contribute to the drive and
aren’t members of an organiza
tion making a unified collection,”
said Peterson. “Also tubs will
be placed in the lobby of the
Memorial Student Center and at
the exits of G. Rollie White Col
iseum.”
Charts will be placed in the
lobby of the MSC that will make
a comparison of the fund rais
ing of the organizations that are
participating in the campaign.
Pat Nance, commanding officer
of Squadron One, the outfit that
won the plaque last year, said
Squadron One was going to win
the award again this year and
challenged all other participat
ing organization.
The motto of the Campus Chest
is -“A dollar from an Aggie for
an Aggie,” and for this reason
every Aggie should participate in
the drive, said Peterson. The
drive will extend from Oct. 28
to Nov. 27.

Fence Erecting
Machine Shown
Here Thursday
The "Fury Fencer,” a revolu
tionary machine which takes the
drudgery out of fence erecting,
will have its first Texas showing
here on Thursday.
Developed by United States Steel
Corporation to cut costs and time
of erecting wire fences, the fenc
ing machine will go into action at
2 p.m. at the agricultural engi
neering warehouse grounds. The
demonstration, staged by the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Division of
United States Steel, is being held
in collaboration with the univer
sity’s agricultural extension serv
ice. The public has been invited
to the showing, which will be at
tended by farmers, ranchers and
agricultural specialists from many
Texas points.
The “Fury Fencer,” which has
been cited as possibly “the most
significant advance in fence build
ing in decades,” is drawn by a
standard tractor and is operated
by only two men. It eliminates
much of the labor normally associ
ated with erecting wire fences on
farms, ranches and along high
ways and railroad rights-of-way.

Research Group
Awarded Grant
A $21,000 grant has been made
by the National Science Founda
tion to the A&M Research Foun
dation to support a study titled
“Volumetric Properties of Polar
Gases.”
Dr. C. R. Sparger, A&M Re
search Foundation vice director,
said the grant covers a two-year
period and is under the super
vision of Dr. Philip T. Eubank,
assistant professor in the De
partment of Chemical Engi
neering.
Eubank said the project meas
ures pressure and temperature
of fixed amounts of gases. Polar
igas molecules behave like mag
nets and have positive and nega
tive charges which create meas
urement problems.
He said the study, while
mostly in the realm of basic re
search, has some application to
the chemical engineering in
dustry.

Yugoslavia Subject
Of MSC Lecture
Yugoslavia, a Communist Satel
lite that frequently repudiates the
principles of Marxism, will be the
subject of a film-talk at 8 p.m.
Thursday in the Memorial Student
Center Ballroom.
Gene Wiancko, a former radio
narrator, producer and writer
prior to entering the motion pict
ure field, will present the film.
The event is sponsored by the
MSC’s Great Issues committee.
One of the film’s highlights
GENE WIANCKO
is a personal interview with Dicta
tor Marshall Tito shortly before
he denounced Russia during a poli
tical crisis.
Wiancko made five trips to Yu
goslavia in producing the full-
length color film.
“Making the picture,” Wiancko
said earlier, “presented many
risks. First, there were the sec
ret police in plain clothes, but
the greatest problem was to get
the 3,500 feet of exposed film
out of the country uncensored,
which was done.”
Wiancko pictures Yugoslavia as
“a whirlpool of strangely different
races and religions and a jig-saw
puzzle of storybook lands assem
bled into one fascinating country.”
Covering the area from Slo
venia in the north to the southern
wilds of Macedonia, Wiancko
talked privately to hundreds of
Yugoslavs. He found they had
amazing alertness and native in
telligence. Many of them could
speak 5 or 6 languages. Most of
them were curious about the mean
ing democracy, and whether the
things they had heard about
America were true.
The Yugoslavia movie is one of
several planned by the MSC group
as part of the “World Around Us”
series.

Valichi Talks;
Signals Wave
Of Crackdowns
United States Senate hearings
with gangster Joseph Valachi
were viewed as another step for
ward in eradicating organized
crime by Houston Police Inspector
Larry Fultz, a guest instructor at
an A&M University police officers
school.
Comments by Fultz on organized
crime came during a talk on prob
lems of modern day policemen at
the 37th General Course for Law
Enforcement Officers, sponsored
by the Engineering Extension
Service.
Fultz said the public needs to
know the significance of organiz
ed crime, which he added “is just
as much a problem in Texas as
large metropolitan cities in north
ern states.”
“WITHOUT PUBLIC support,”
Fultz commented, “police are
handicapped in enforcing the law.
Putting organized crime in the
public spotlight will help eradi
cate organized crime in the United
States.”
Valachi, a long-time underworld
figure and former head of the
Philadelphia Cosa Nostra, has
named leaders of various mobs in
Senate testimony.
HE ADDED that Americans con
tinue to resist regimentation by
police.
“When you write a traffic tic
ket today,” Fultz said, “you know
it’s being done without the full
wishes of the community.”
The people who are frequently
contacted by police are the ones
who have the highest opinions of
law enforcement officers, Fultz
said, quoting a study made in
Houston.
The A&M police school, headed
by Wallace Beasley, will continue
through Nov. 15.

Battalion Staff Writer
Head Yell Leader, Mike Marlow, has laid down some
definite plans for the Midnight Yell Practice Friday due to
the misfortunes encountered before the University of Hous
ton game.
Tdo many drunks and toilet paper, old area Corps students
cutting in front of the band, and crowds congregating out
side the gates of Kyle Field were the three major problems
present at the last Yell Practice, according to Marlow.
“Yell Practice has been degraded over the last few years
into something that doesn’t represent the spirit,” said Mar
low. “Upperclassmen have passed on to freshmen the idea
that the only way to go to yell practice without a date is to
go drunk. We can’t do any--*
thing about this phase of the
problem though. It is up to
the individuals to discipline
themselves.”
“THE TOILET PAPER business
hat got to stop,” continued Marlow.
He added that any cadet caught
with toilet paper Friday night
would find himself before the Sen
ior Court.
Commanding officers of the
various outfits will meet Wednes
day night to try and clear up the
problem created when the old area
students and civilians join the
march to Kyle Field.
“The Corps students from the old
area will be asked to form their
lines down the streets running
along the side of Sbisa Dining Hall
and in front of the old dormitory
area. They should wait until the
band and the new area Corps stu
dents have passed before they try
to join the march.
“We can’t do anything about the
civilians but we hope that they will
cooperate with us,” the Yell Leader
added.
ROSS VOLUNTEER JUNIORS
will form a “V” outside the gates
to Kyle Field to aid the band in
entering through the small portals,
the major place of property dam
age and personal injury over the
past few years.
All students that have dates and
those that do not wish to march
to the stadium
from the gates so that the usual
traffic jam won’t occur.
ESTIMATES OF DAMAGE done
to band instruments in the gate
melee range from $300 to $800 and
this probably would have gone
higher had the band carried the
sousaphones, several sources
stated.
Marlow concluded that he would
not in any probability discontinue
the Midnight Yell Practices but
that if it continued to be unsafe
for the band to march to Kyle
Field, it would be turned into just
another yell practice.
‘Mousetrap’ Snaps
On Thursday Night
“The Mousetrap” by Agatha
Christie will be presented by the
A&M Consolidated High School
junior class Thursday and Satur
day nights at the school.
Mrs. Jane Alston, director of
the play, has solved the problem
of how to keep a mystery mysteri
ous.
Several pages from the script of
each player has been removed in
order to keep the play a mystery,
even to the actors themselves.
Closed rehearsals will be held aft
er the missing pages are restored
to the cast. This will be the only
time the real murderer is known
should stay back except on performance nights.
