Three cheers for American ingenuity, which gave us the
ACP, the collarbone and MGM. . . that's the Mighty Good
Makin's you get in Marlboro, t he filter cigarette with the un-
altered taste. Settle back and enjoy one. You get a lot to like.
What a bright new world BACTERIA opens up. Take, for
example, a typical college student—Hunrath Sigafoos (son,
incidentally, of the Marlboro sales manager). Hunrath, a bright
lad, is currently majoring in burley at the University of Ken-
tucky. Under the BACTERIA plan, Hunrath could stay at
Kentucky, where he has made many friends, but at the same
time broaden his vistas by taking a course in constitutional law
at Harvard, a course in physics at Caltech, a course in frostbite
at Minnesota and a course in poi at Hawaii!
I admit there are still a few bugs in BACTERIA. How, for
instance, could Hunrath attend a 9 o’clock class at Harvard,
a 10 o’clock class at Hawaii, an 11 o’clock class at Minnesota,
and still keep his lunch date at Kentucky? It would be idle to
deny that this is a tricky problem, but I have no doubt American
ingenuity will carry the day. Always remember how they
laughed at Edison and Fulton—and particularly at Walter
Clavicle who invented the collarbone.

UNITED WE STAND
The entire academic world is agog over the success of the
Associated Colleges Plan—ACP, for short. I mean, you go to
any campus in the country these days and you will see students
and faculty dancing on the green, blowing penny whistles,
grabbing each other by the elbows and yelling, “About that
ACP, Charley—like wow!"
And who can blame them? The ACP is a plan not only simply
brilliant, but also brilliantly simple. All it is, is a loose regional
federation of small colleges. Let’s say, for example, that in a
given region we have a group of small colleges, each with its
own academic specialty. Small College No. 1, let’s say, has a fine
language department; Small College No. 2, let’s say, has a fine
science department; No. 3 has a fine music department; etc., etc.
Well sir, under the ACP these various colleges federate. A
student in any one of the colleges can take courses in the spe-
cialty of any of the other colleges and—here’s the beauty part!
-—he will receive credit for the course at his home college. Thus
he enjoys all the advantages of a big university without losing
the comfy coziness of a small college!
Well sir, you can see what a good idea the ACP is. I respect-
fully submit, however, that just because a thing is good is no
reason not to try to make it better. Like, for instance, Marlboro
Cigarettes. Marlboros were good from the very beginning, and
people found out quickly and sales zoomed. But did the makers
of Marlboro say, “Okay, we’ve got it made. Let’s relax”?
Well sir, if that’s what you think, you don’t know the makers!
They did not relax. They took their good Marlboros and kept
improving them. They improved the filter, improved the blend,
improved the pack. They researched and developed tirelessly,
until today Marlboro is just about the most admirable cigarette
you can put a match to. There are, in fact, some people who
find Marlboros so admirable they can’t bear to put a match to
them. They just sit with a single Marlboro in hand and admire
it for ten, twelve years on end. The makers of Marlboro are of
course deeply touched by this—except for E. Rennie Sigafoos,
the sales manager.
But I digress. The ACP, I say, is good but it can be better.
Why should the plan be confined to small colleges? Why should
it be confined to a limited region? Why not include all colleges
and universities, big and small, wherever they are?
Let’s start such a federation. Let’s call it the “Bigger Asso-
ciated Colleges To Encourage Richer Intellectual Activity”-
BACTERIA, for short! .
However.....
By CLYDE HUTCHET
The NIT has made a bid that will be recognized as a pos-
sible mistake in the future. Holy Cross, an eastern college,
was given the NIT bid while Texas Western was left out in
the cold, for the present.
Several things stand out as humurous about the selection:
1. Holy Cross is from the East and the NIT is played in the
East. 2. Only one team from the West is in the tournament,
not counting the Skyline Conference runnerups. 3. Texas
Western could probably beat the Skyline Conference run-
nerups a majority of the time. 4. Since Houston is going to
the NIT the Southwest has its representative.
The last is especially interesting since Houston is a short
distance of 800 miles away from El Paso. How many teams
from the East are 800 miles apart?
The funniest thing is that in the very near future Texas
Western will have outgrown area tournaments and will be
going for all of the marbles at the NCAA tournaments. Un-
til then we can sit back and think of all the red faces there
will be.
Talking about surprises, Sports Illustrated magazine will
be one of them. At the first of the year a scouting report run
by the magazine showed Arizon State and New Mexico
State to be the powers in the Border Conference. All season
long Arizona State was recognized in the magazine as the top
team in the Southwest.
Sports Illustrated rated Houston second and a Southwest
Conference school third. Well, that could be right, but Texas
Western played two of the closest games of the season against
the Sun Devils and as a reward are left out. Ce est la vi.

Back to the tennis problem, at least a few people feel it is
a problem, at Texas Western.
El Paso has some of the best weather conditions in the
United States, going by the Chamber of Commerce. Tennis can
be played nine months out of the year and this is vital to any
sport for practice makes perfect.
Texas Western is not taking full advanatage of the possi-
bilities offered by the weather situation. A member could
be added to the Physical Education Department with the
specific job of coaching tennis and PE. The same could be
done with golf.
Nothing against members of the faculty coaching these
sports, because they should be congratulated. These faculty
members must do the regular work on top of coaching these
sports. In fact, they aren’t even paid, and if their work falls
off they are hurt when promotions come along. But tennis
and golf should not be neglected as a “stepchild” sport.
