The surplus property depart ment, which handles all equip ment released by University units, holds an auction about twice a year. “This will be the fourth year that we’ve done it,” said Doyle Robertson, assistant stores man ager in charge of surplus prop erly. “In the past we’ve used a sealed bid sale.” Robertson said an auction is more profitable because bid ders are face-to-face and there fore more competitive than when in a sealed bid sale.

Corps march to benefit the area March of Dimes By LESLIE MARTIN Reporter The Corps of Cadets makes up only about 5 percent of the student population at Texas A&M but to the Brazos Valley March of Dimes this small per centage is worth big bucks, more than $32,000 to be exact. That’s the amount that the cadets donated to the charity last year after their annual March to the Brazos. They hope to raise even more for this year’s march on Saturday. “We gel more pledges each year and this time our goal is $35,000,” says Philip Leopold, March project coordinator. The March to the Brazos be gan in 1908 as a day of recre ation for the cadets, but seven years ago the Corps Staff ap proached the March of Dimes with the idea of using the event as a fund raiser. The charity readily agreed, and since 1976, the Corp has raised more than $120,000. “This march is the highest money raiser for the March of Dimes in the Bryan-College Sta tion area,” says Jane Massey, ex ecutive director for the Brazos Valley March of Dimes. ' The students really likedii* idea of sponsoring herandtliti were more likely to givemont if she was asking for lit pledge,” he says. Prizes such as a personal computer and a Walkman will be given away. The cadet that solicits the most pledges will re ceive a round trip plane ticket to Arkansas for the football game in the fall.
