Drive
Continued from page 1
U.S. Cavalry, in an online
newsletter Nov. 25.
Junior political science major
Lindsey Hafner stumbled upon
news of the accident while
searching for contact information
of Aggie soldiers in Iraq. Hafner
had planned to send letters of
appreciation to the soldiers, but
ended up organizing a food and
supply drive after learning of the
tire Wednesday afternoon.
“1 really appreciate what
they’re doing,” Hafner said.
“This is my opportunity to just
say thanks.”
Donations will be collected
Friday, Monday and Tuesday at
Rudder Fountain and various
locations off campus. Items need
ed include T-shirts, lotion, baby
wipes, reading materials, long
underwear and candy and gum to
hand out to local children.
“We are critically short of
longjohn underwear of all sizes,”
Tway said in the newsletter. “We
need these to fly at night, and
right now it is holding us from
accomplishing the mission.”
Hafner also suggested donat
ing snack items such as packets
of Kool Aid, beef jerky and
peanuts to make the soldiers feel
more at home.
“It doesn’t cost a lot for us to
buy, but it means a lot to them,”
she said.
Collectors will accept any
donations the troops may need,
Hafner said, including monetary
contributions. Any money
received will be used to pur
chase additional items or pay for
postage, she said.
“This is a great chance to
show the Aggie spirit to soldiers
who may not have seen it,”
Hafner said. “It’s not a pro- or
antiwar thing, it’s just helping
those in need.”
Tim Sweeney, associate direc
tor of Student Activities, said he
was contacted by Hafner to help
with specifics of the project, such
as obtaining a permit to solicit
donations and finding businesses
to use as drop-off locations.
“It’s definitely a worthy
cause,” Sweeney said. “I think
she’ll get a good response."
Sweeney helped student
organizers of Red, White and
Blue-Out in 2001, which raised
funds for victims of the 9-11 ter
rorist attacks. Aside from these
two projects, he said, charitable
efforts of this magnitude rarely
come across his desk.
The most difficult aspect of a
project such as this, Sweeney
said, is getting the word out.
“People want to help; it’s nat
ural to want to help,” he said.
“They just want to know how.”
Tway requested the aid of fel
low Aggies to help the fire vic
tims get back on their feet and
enjoy the holidays. Any stock-
ing-stuffer type of gifts would
also be appreciated, he said.
In true Aggie form, Tway
joked, “Worst of all was the loss
of our Stetsons!”
Questions about the drive can
be directed to Lindsay Hafner at
979-661-2305.
