oreon Orphanage Drive Marks
l/xf/i Year; $7,600 Collected
By Neil Hopp
Life Feature Editor
[■his weekend    will    mark
! sixth annual   Korean   Or-
jjnage Drive.     Since    1959,
has been raised on cam-
for the support   of 70   or-
at Mun San, Korea.
ast fall the drive reached
fall time high   when §2,100
collected.   Most   of   this
iey was used to eliminate
remaining   debt    on th,e
500   two-story sleeping
^rters, the    purchasing    of
i, firewood, some 25 school
from CARE   and    an in-
jllment on the acquisition of
acres of farm land.
According to a Korean   Cranage'   Committee    spokes-
i,-the goal of this drive    is
pay off the remaining $2,570
|t of the new farm land. The
yelopment of this new farm
will provide work for the
per orphans, and before long"
hoped that they will be
pducing enough food to be
npletely self-sufficient.
The idea   of supporting    a
[eign orphanage    originated
]th former student Neil Kir-
"l, who was stationed in Ko-
following the Korean War.
was so impressed with the
difficulty and turmoil involved in attempting to rejuvinate
the war-torn country that he
wanted to do something about
it.
This was not possible until
1959 when, as a member of the
Student Senate at CMU, Kir-
win proposed that the students
sponsor a Korean Orphanage.
The proposal was received
with enthusiasm and arrangements were made and administered through "the American
Korean Foundation in New
.York.
From this beginning based
on individual support, the Korean Orphanage idea has expanded to include sponsorship
by dormitories, various campus groups and the people of
Mount Pleasant and Michigan.
The immediate goal of the
Korean Orphanage Committee
at CMU, aside from regular
monthly operating support, is
to promote sponsorship by
other colleges and universities
in the United States for new
foreign orphanages. Over 1,500
institutions have been contacted toward this end.
An average of 97 cents of
each dollar donated for the orphans has actually been spent
for the benefit of the children.
Many things have been done
with this money, but medical
facilities and a small-crafts
program still are lacking. It
is hoped that these things can
be taken care of as soon as
the new farm land has been
paid for.
All communication and
money is sent through the
American Korean Foundation.
Personal correspondence is
maintained through the U.S.
Army in Korea, the staff members of CARE and other individuals. Korean government
officials have visited the orphanage, taken an eight minute movie and have kept track
of progress on an observational basis.
Mun San was organized in
1951 when Mrs. Sa Nyo Kang,
(continued on page three)
Men's Union,- Student -Senate,'
and dormitories, which represent large segments • of Central's enrollment, shall be excluded from backing a candidate for Homecoming Queen,"
JanAppel, Barnard Senator,
moved that the Homecoming
issue be referred to a Special
Committee. The members of
this committee shall bo comprised of one person representing IFC and Panhellenic,
Inter-Dorm Council, Aiumni
Director, 1964 Homecoming
Chairman, the author oi the
original amendment Bob Don- '
oghue, and President or Student Body, Joe Sweeney.
An initiative petition to
place Donoghue's resolution
on a campus-wide ballot was
circulated Oct. 25, and was
signed by 1104 CMU stuaents.
However, it was pointed out
by Pat Baumgartner, Larzelere, that there was " a misunderstanding in the petitions
because some individuals signed them as though they were
in favor of the bill, while
others signed merely to have
the resolution put on the ballot.
Kathy Whitney, Calkins,
pointed out that students are
responsible for what they sign.
Since the petitions have not
been formally submitted to
Sweeney, it is not certain
whether the resolution will be
put on the ballot.
Arguments against Donag-
hue's resolution were numerous. Jim Hassleback, 1964
homecoming chairman, started
discussion of the proposal by
pointing out its "ridiculousness" because the dorms could
not afford to build a float or
sponsor a Homecoming candidate because of their financial status. He also thought
that the proposal would lead
to unfair competition, in the
event that' two dorms would
combine they would number
approximately 750 students.
When Donoghue asked Has
selback; if he thought that, the
proposal was an ti-Greek,
Hasselback replied,, "I believe
it is."' '  „
Joe SWeehey, president of
the student body, expressed
regret that the resolution had
been tabbed a Greek vs. Independent issue. "I dort't feel
that this, is pertinent. Pime
that this is pertinent. Prime
consideration should be given
to fairness to everyone involved and striving for fair
■ competition." Sweeney pointed out that some dorm constitutions do not allow an expenditure of over §50 for any one
event.
In an attempt to repudiate-
statements made about the
resolutions, Donoghue said he
felt dorms could afford the expenses involved. Donoghue
also felt that other factions
could combine as dorms might
so that the question of unfair
competition would not be involved.
Donoghue also stated, "I did
not wish to have my name
tacked on to an anti-Greek
bill. I shall not deal in dirt.
My objection is to get more
people involved in Homecoming and to get a more independent voice in the Homecoming Steering Committee."
