SUN
By ORLIN BREWER
The proposed move of Howard-
Payne College to Midland, which
didn't come off, at least left the
people there with the “college fe-
ver."
The city this week launched an
“open to all" call for contribu-
tions to finance a survey to deter-
mine Midland's college needs and
possibilities,
A total of $7,500 will be sought
in the whirlwind finance campaign
to finance the cost of a survey
by Be^l Associates of Fort Worth,
a public relations and survey firm.
The chamber of commerce has al-
ready spent"considerable money"
studying and developing the pro-
posed -college project during the
past year.
The survey will show "whether
Midland needs a college; toe kind
of college desired; whether it will
be a two-year, or four-year: whe-
ther it should be tax supported,
church affiliated or independent,
and whether Midland and area re-
sidents would help finance and sup-
port an institution of higher learn-
ing.
0O0
Meanwhile, HiK-kley Clounty,
which has already been though
this procedure, is making pro-
gress toward letting a contract
for construction of its college
buildings.
A special committee from
the board of regents yesterday
gave a final okay to the col-
lege campus plan.
0O0
It was while we were at the of-
fice of College President Dr. Thom-
as Spencer discussing the campus
plan that we ran across an item
of interest to us about the record
of junior college students in the
senior colleges.
Dr. Spencer sa^s the superior
show ing of the junior college grads
in senior colleges is often talked
about, but you seldom get it in
writing with a signature tacked on-
to it.
He handed us a letter from Guy
W. Adriance, head of the Texas
A&M department of Horticulture,
which had it in black and white.
Adriance started his letter with
the statement, “For a number of
years we have been greatly im-
prpssgd with the type of work done
by transfer students from junior
colleges."
Adriance was writing about the
demand for people trained in gen-
eral horticulture, fruit and vege-
table processing and plant science.
He suggested that A&M would be
glad to have students from South
Plains College who might be in-
terested in taking additional train-
ing in these fields at Aggieland.
0O0
The publisher and yours tru-
ly attended an “off the record"
press conference in the Cap-
rock Hotel W ednesday night
for a background briefing on
Tevas Tech's stadium expan-
sion program.
If we ever doubted that Tev-
as Tech was moving Into the
big time, this meeting erased
all doubts.
Publicity on the program
vv ill start rolling out pretty
soon on t lie plan to put the
Ked Raiders in a .>1,000 rapa
city stadium by 10«0. We went
to the meeting wondering how
in the world Tech could raise
the necessary $1.7 million to
to the job.
But we came away convinced
that it will be done, and that
everybody over a wide area
will be glad to see it.
0O0 _
People are always worred about
overbuilding in this part of the
country, although it never seems
to be .justified. This will probably
be the first doubt that hits some
minds when the program is ex-
plained. Tech won't be overbuild-
ing. however. Particularly when
you consider that Coach DcWitt

Large Turnout
Sought for Yell
Session Friday
Members of the Levelland Quar-
terback Club Thursday were solicit-,
ing the help of downtown business-
men and residents as they pre-
pared to stage a giant pep.ra.Uy;
at 3 p.m. Friday in the high school
gymnasium in an effort to give
the Lobo Football team a boost
into conference competition that
will carry them through the next j
four games and hurdle them into1
the post-season playoffs.
The Lobos play Dumas the
squad which helped upset the Lev-!
elland applecart last year at 8
p.m. Friday in the first district
1-AAA game of the season.
A committee from the quarter- >
back club was calling on Level- |
land merchants Thursday after-j f
noon seeking a big turnout fto.n |
adult fans at the big 3 p.m. rally.
Women as well as men are being i
invited to attend.
The rally will feature singing, ;
music by the band, and talks by.
players, coaches school and quar- i
terback officials.
Fans are hoping to work up a
powerful enough potion at the ral-j
ly to hex the Demons and with:
enough football venom left to bow! j
over Hereford. Phillips and Little-i
field in the final three games which
close out the season after a Nov. j
1-opert date.
The rally may be just what the ;
squad needs.
Head Coach Johnnie Hickman;
Thursday expressed concern over
the mental condition of the learn,
although he says the squad is in.
its best shape physically since the
Snyder game.
Hickman said that more of his i
-players re near top form although
some reserves who were out with'
. the ..ilu last woef»-haven't been *
able to-do much work..
Outside of Bill McKenzie, the re-,
serve QB who underwent knee sur-
gery • recently, A1 Fhrlcr
to be the only player on the doubt-1
ful list.
Hickman said Fhrlcr suffered a i
leg cut in practice and may be!
used if the cut can be padded up j
enough. He said he didn't plan to I
do so unless absolutely necessary,
how ever.
The squad was chased indoors
by the weather Monday, hut re-
turned to the gridiron for piau-riie,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Most of the concentrated effort
lias been on defensing the Split
T, since it's the first time ;he Lo-
bos have faced this formation this
yea r.
Dumas has iost three games and
won only two but like Level! ind.
Hickman said the squad is a
much better team than the re'oid
indicates. If they get just exactly
right, they' could beat us, if we’re
not ready," the coach warned.
The new Dumas coach. Burl
Bartlett of Blackwell, Okla., in-
stalled the Split T and it gave the
Demons some trouble cailv in t.u-
season.
Hickman said that Quarterback
Jim Tindie t uns the Split -T option
very well, and has been impioving
consistently.
The coach pointed out that lie's
made a lot of yardage otf the op-
tion the last two games and protr,-

Farside
Success
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Air Force said today it has
made a successful firing of an experimental rocket designed
to reach out into space 1,000 miles or more.
And there were unofficial reports that a second appar-
ently successful firing had been made in scientific experi-
ments conducted at Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific.
However, Air Force headquarters here gave no immedi-
ate details on the first reported firings. Nor did it confirm
| reports of a double success in the effort to hurl an object
1 further out into space than any man-made device had gone
before.
The reports of the Air Force
"Project Farside" rocket shoots
came as the United States claimed
other new gains in science and
weaponry to recover some of the
prestige lost to Soviet technology
in recent weeks.
The United States chalked up
these developments yesterday:
1. Fired a rocket' from a bal-
loon floating 100.000 feet above the
Eniwetok Atoll. The Air Force |
s'aid it was a success. While tech- I
nicaf records of the shot were I
lacking
was a success seemed to mean
the rocket had shot up not less
than 1,000 miles.

CAMPfS SITE PLAN—Here is the campus site plan approved Wednesday morning by the college board of regents.
The campus, located in the middle of a 44 acre plot, is turned at an angle-to prevent direct sunshine on large areas
of glass in the buildings. The cross-hatched areas on three.sides tiie buildings.are paved Greets and parking area's.
East Avenue, curving west toward Sundown, is shown at the righto! theeampus. while the north part of the campus
(bottom) is on a line with 13th street. The President’s home will be located at the campus East Avenue entrance,
between locations for proposed future dormitories. (Photo of Map by Norman Studio)

The original announcement on
the project said the objective was
to launch rockets to an altitude
between 1.000 and 4,000 miles. A
successful launching would mean
it rose to at least 1.000 miles. One’
officer familiar with the tests said

.Dear Editor:
I note that Agriculture - Sec-
retary Benson was in South
Dakota here the other day,
making a s|»eeeh on the sub-
ject of farmers getting too
much money for their work,
and some of them started
chunking him with eggs.
This, of course, was very im-
polite and probably sacrile-
gious, hut there was anyhow
one heartening feature of the
incident.
It shows there has been
some progress made toward
more genteel behavior since
people first started throwing
eggs at public speakers. The
South Dakotans courteously re-
frained from using rotten eggs.
