Stern said the best method of
mustering publicity for the project
would be for someone in each com
plex to post fliers, then call Stern at
845-0812 to tell him the location. He
asked, however, that only one per
son from each complex call him so
his office won’t be swamped with
phone calls.
He said he also is searching for

trees to the mission. Anyone wishing
to donate time should contact Stern.
“Many people believe that they
can do nothing to make the world
better,” he said. “But even a little
thing like this can make a differen
ce.”
Stern said the project is aimed at
raising the student body’s sense of
social awareness.
“I want people to know that they
can help without hurting,” he said.
Another project aimed at social
awareness is Stern’s annual
Christmas fund-raising campaign.
This year he’s collected $425 from
students in his sociology classes and
several ex-students, he said, as well
as from the members of Company
G-2 of the Corps of Cadets, for
which he is an academic adviser.
Stern said his campaign has an ad
vantage over its competitors: the do
nors get to help spend their money.
Any student who pitched in a dol
lar to the cause was invited to meet
him at the Kay-Bee Toy & Hobby
Shop Inc. in Post Oak Mall. The col
lection then was divided and each
student received a sum with which to
buy a toy. After two hours of shop
ping, 55 participants bought 177
items, spending $399.
“The students got so much fun
out of it,” Stern said. “Almost as
much as the kids will have.”
The remaining money was do
nated to the Bryan-College Station
Eagle’s Cheer Fund, and Stern said
he still is accepting donations.
“If we all help a little, collectively
we can do a lot,” he said.
Stern said he wants to start a new
Aggie tradition ^— giving.
“I simply want to raise people’s so
cial awareness for things they believe
in,” Stern said.
“I’m not opposed to any cause,”
he said. “I just want people to know
that everyone can do something.”
Stern said he would like to start a
“floating fund” through his classes
or through the sociology depart
ment.
“With a floating fund, we can take
$50 to relief workers in Mexico, or
we can sponsor a child overseas,” he
said.”
Stern said many people are reluc
tant to give because they can’t see the
results of their contribution.
“I don’t agree with that,” he said.
