The program, sponsored nationally by the United Ser vice Organization, is not com pletely new to Texas A&M. Although this is the first year the program will operate Uni versity-wide, it was initiated last year as a dorm function by Keathley Hall. Keathley residents col lected and sent 33 cards and letters in 1981, said Karen Crotty, Keathley’s program director and head of this year’s Mail Call. When a letter of thanks came from the USO director of the Armed Forces Mail Call for only 33 cards, Keathley re sidents realized how much servicemen appreciated and needed those few cards, Crot ty said. Residents hope to collect at least 200 cards this year. Crotty feels the program is particularly suited to Texas A&M because of its affiliation with the military through the Corps of Cadets. Furth ermore, many college stu dents can relate to the feelings of servicemen alone at the holidays. “As college students, we know what it’s like to look in to see an empty mailbox even on special days,” Crotty said. To help see that no service man is without mail this holi day season, Keathley resi dents are asking students to contribute cards and letters this week. Card collections be gin today and will end Friday. Students who want to parti cipate should follow these guidelines: •Write a Christmas card or letter telling about them selves, their hobbies, Texas A&M and any of their other interests. •Include only a return address on the envelope. Be cause the letters will go to anonymous servicemen in all branches of the military, an address is not required. The return address, however, will enable servicemen to write back if they wish. •Do not attach a stamp. •Drop the sealed letter — along with 20 cents for post age and handling — into de signated boxes at the Com mons main desk or the secre taries’ island in the Student Programs Office in the Memorial Student Center.
