Christmastime is a time for
Santa Claus and mistletoe and
a time for families to get
together. And it’s a time for
spreading goodwill and cheer.
* And this Christmas season,
Texas A&M students will have
a chance to spread holiday
heer to servicemen stationed
throughout the United States
through the Armed Forces
Mail Call.
Sponsored by Keathley
Hall residents, the program
allows students to send Christ-
trtas cards and letters to ser
vicemen who might not other-
wise receive them or who are
elebrating Christmas away
irom their families and
lomes.
' Cards will be sent only to
servicemen in the United
States because the deadline

has passed.
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.
