Auction to sell
surplus property
By LYNN RAE POVEC
Reporter
Texas A&M will auction sur
plus property to the public Sat
urday beginning at 10 a.m. at
the surplus property warehouse
on Agronomy Road.
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. A
sealed bid sale usually takes 30
days, so a one-day auction is
more practical, he said.
The biggest sellers at past
auctions nave been vehicles,
Robertson said.

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.
