Texas A&M University’s goal
for the United Way campaign,
which begins Monday, was in
creased Tuesday from $70,000
to $100,000 by University Presi
dent Frank E. Vandiver.
At the University’s kick-off
breakfast for United Way, an
organization that supports 17
local agencies such as Boy’s and
Girl’s Clubs, Vandiver said that
he was displeased with the cur
rent University goal.
“I would think that $70,000 is
unacceptable for Texas A&M,
and if we didn’t start with a goal
of $100,000 I don’t think we’d
be making a major effort in this
community,’ he said.
System Chancellor Dr.
Arthur Hansen was pleased with
the goal increase, and told col
lege directors and department
coordinators for the campaign
that the academic community
needs to be sensitive about giv
ing to charities like United Way.
“We can talk about things we
believe in, but there’s only one
Final test: the test of action,”
Hansen said.
He said that Texas A&M has
received many gifts from people
who care about the University,
and with that same attitude the
University needs to give.
“We are the recipients
ourselves, and if we look
around, all over the campus we
see the results of people who’ve
made a statement about what
they believe,” Hansen said.
“Their acts of charity are all
around us. It would be rather
ironical if we were to be the reci
pients of the good things that
other people have given to us
and in turn not do likewise.”
Churchill Jones, Brazos
County United Way drive chair
man and chairman of the board
of Republic Bank A&M, said the
United Way provides an oppor
tunity to be No. 1 in the South
west Conference. Last year
Texas A&M came in eighth in
the Southwest Conference for
the amount given per employee
to United Way. Texas A&M’s
per employee donation was
$6.97, while Texas Christian
University had the highest with
donations per employee of
$43.87.
Jones said that in the 1970 to
1980 census Brazos County was
ranked No. 1 in growth in the
state of Texas and No. 6 in the
country. At the same time the
area ranks at the bottom when
compared to other communities
of its size in giving to United
Way, Jones said.
