Selected
As Date
By GERALD GARCIA
Battalion Editor
Texas A&M will conduct a
special summer blood drive
June 29-30, announced Don
Allen, chairman of the Stu
dent Senate Welfare commit
tee.
The drive will be sponsored by
the Senate Welfare committee
and will be conducted by the Wad-
ley Foundation of Dallas. This
is the same institute which con
ducts the regular spring drive on
campus.
“We are conducting this drive
because there is a critical short
age of blood,” Allen said. “We
want donations not only from
the students but from people of
the community.”
Registration for the drive will
start June 23. Any person in
terested in donating blood should
call Allen at the Student Pro
grams Office of the Memorial
Student Center from 1-9 p.m.
starting June 23. The number is
846-8721, extension 36.
Donors and their immediate
family will be permitted to draw
blood without charge from the
foundation during the next year.
Allen explained that all stu
dents, faculty and staff and peo
ple from College Station-Bryan
are eligible for the donation pro
gram.
“Site of collecting blood is not
know yet, but we are sure that
one will be known before regis
tration,” Allen said.
Donors will receive free cook
ies, coffee and orange juice after
they have given blood.
The regular spring program
has been in effect here nine of
the past 10 years. More than
3,499 units of blood have been
collected during this period.
Blood donated is used mainly
for luekemia research. Luekemia.

ted States last year.
The Wadley Research Insti
tute and Blood Bank was estab
lished as a non-profit organiza
tion by Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Wad-
ley in memory of their grandson,
who died of leukemia. It exists
solely from gifts and research
grants. The bank belongs to a
national blood collection associa
tion, which allows it to draw
blood from any bank in the coun
try.
During the last spring drive,
about 550 units of blood were col
lected and donated to the Wad-
ley Foundation.
Take Message
To Public 2
Educators Say
L. P. Sturgeon and James A.
Turman Wednesday morning
challenged school administrators
and supervisors to take educa
tion’s message to the public.
The Texas State Teacher’s As
sociation official and U. S. Office
of Education associate commis
sioner spoke to School Adminis
trators and Supervisors in Con
ferences at Texas A&M.
“We’re in the fox holes this
morning,” Sturgeon told con
ferees in summarizing the three-
day event’s public relations
theme. Public relations has been
important when bond issues are
necessary and crises crop up. It’s
much like ‘fox hole religion,’ a
choice of life and death. Of
course we choose life.”
The TSTA public relations divi
sion director said school officials
are wrong taking for granted
3 Killed, 1 Hurt
In Auto Mishap
Three persons were killed and
one seriously injuried in a two-
car accident about five miles
south of Hearne on Highway 6
last night.
Two of the persons killed were
from Bryan. Killed in the acci
dent were Gail Ilene Clepper and
Jeanie Marie Clepper, both of
Bryan, and Doug Baxter of
Rockdale. Jimmie Paul Ernest
of Jasper, Ala., is reported in
critical condition at a Hearne
hospital.
The two Bryan girls were rid
ing in a 1964 station wagon when
they were hit from behind by a
sports car driven by Baxter. The
girls’ bodies were burned beyond
recognition.
Nagy To Speak
At MSC Tuesday
Dr. Ferenc F. Nagy (pro
nounced Nodge), former Prime
Minister of Hungary, has sched
uled speeches in Bryan-College
Station.
The visiting Texas A&M lec
turer spoke to B-CS Jaycees at
noon today.
Tuesday he talks in the Assem
bly Room of the Memorial Stu
dent Center. Topic of the 8 p.m.
free, public speech is “Effects of
Southeast Asian Crisis on Central
Europe.”
that citizens will continue to pro
vide increasing amounts of money
to fund educational programs.
T u r m a n’s “Who Talks to
Whom?” address urged more
vigorous and imaginative think
ing in carrying educational goals
to taxpayers.
“We have failed in the past,”
the East Texas State and Texas
University - educated legislator
and educator declared, “because
we have not talked to the right
people.” Industrial and com
munity leaders should be inform
ed of education’s role in industry
and economy, he noted.
“Is the message in their terms
or our terms?” he asked.
“Educators must express to
the businessman what excellence
means in new products, better
techniques, better paying jobs
and more purchasing power,” the
former Texas House speaker
stated. “The voter must know
why money needs to go to educa
tional improvements.”
“Education serves the nation
best when it serves the individual
best, for society is the composite
of individuals and national prog
ress is the composite of individ
ual progress,” he declared.
Turman described public
schools as an enterprise with
stockholders — the people — for
which they are responsible and
for which they have invested
money. Too often, schoolmen
spend time pleading for resources
educations needs and too little
time explaining what the job is
and how society will benefit,” he
added.
“Acceptance of this democratic
principle has implications for
professional educators,” Turman
charged, listing four:
1. Educational programs never
advance far beyond prevailing
public sentiment;
2. School-public relations is a
two-way process, involving lis
tening as well as talking;
3. The public has the right to
concern itself with the heart of
the school program, the curricu
lum, and
4. Guaranteeing a place to the
parent, lay advisory groups and
independent citizens’ committees
on education.
Two groups, the indifferent
and self - deceivers, don’t get the
message through regular chan
nels, public speeches and school
meetings.
