ONE of the nine agencies to be supported this year by the Campus Chest is the Robert O. Beadel Jr. '65 Memorial Scholarship Fund for Crossroads Africa, a fund begun by his father, Robert O. Beadel '29, and Robert Jr.'s Crossroads Africa teammates.
Part of the funds earmarked for this agency of the Campus Chest, a campus- wide drive seeking $20,000, will be used to provide scholarships for Ghanaian youngsters attending the rural secondary school which Bob Beadel and his fellow Crossroaders were building when he died. The school has been named in his honor by the Ghanaian government. The other part of the fund will be used to support worthy candidates for the Crossroads Africa Work Camp and Student Program in future years.
Dartmouth is a "cooperating institution" in the Crossroads project of sending 300 or more young Americans to work with African university students in a variety of projects for community development, most of them in rural Africa. Four current undergraduates participated in Crossroads projects, doing manual labor and living in African villages.
Although the Campus Chest is by name and direction a campus-oriented drive and works through several hundred student solicitors, alumni who want to honor Bob Beadel Jr. or who have an interest in the Crossroads Africa program may make contributions to the Robert O. Beadel Jr. '65 Fund. Checks should be made out to the Dartmouth College Campus Chest and sent to the William Jewett Tucker Foundation, Box 50, Hanover, N. H., with a note indicating that they are to be credited to the Beadel Fund.
Some of the charities supported by the Chest Fund are the World University Service, Choi Mai Sil Orphanage, Social Service Activities of the Dartmouth Christian Union, the Spaulding Youth Center, and the American Indian Fund.
