Wilson, president of Xerox will direct the fund-raising campaign. Of that, he said: "I think it's going to be very difficult to raise the $38 million among alumni.

Where to Find It Chamblee police.

Chamblee is about eight miles north of Atlanta. The Chamblee teen-ager, a sophomore at the high school, attended his first two classes yesterday. His teachers said he gave no indication he was disturbed. He left for home after his second class, apparently to pick up his rifle, an official said. As the girls fled to escape the flying bullets, the youth shouted, "All you girls behind the poles and in the trees, I'm going to get you first!" Miss Sue Colquitt, gym instructor, said more shots then rang out and he shouted again: "All of you under the stands come out.

I'm going to kill you!" The instructor said many of the girls were sobbing during the 15 minutes of terror. CHAMBLEEi, Ga. UP) Some 200 shorts-clad high school girls frantically sought cover yesterday when a 16-year-old youth, perched on top a football stadium, fired at them with a high-powered rifle. No one was, injured. Some of the girls, in blue and gold shorts for their gym class on the Chamblee High School athletic field, fled to nearby woods.

Many hid behind and under the stadium. Others flattened themselves against telephone po'fes and a few threw themselves down tiehind concrete blocks on the edge of the faeld. The youth-, barefoot and clad in dungarees and swaatshirt, crouched on top the stadium and at random for about 15 minutes before he was talked into surrendering by Capt.
