Jack Seaquist Elected
President Of Freshman
Class At Princeton U.
Jack Seaquist, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Garner E. Seaquist, was elect-
ed to serve as president of the
freshman class at Princeton Uni-
versity in balloting held Monday,
December 9. Seaquist polled 205 of
the 495 ballots cast by his class-
mates.
Jack was one of nine candidates
to survive the primary election for
freshman class officers held the
previous Thursday. The nine can-
didates were so closely grouped
that the Undergraduate Council
Elections Committee decided to al-
low all of them to enter Monday's
runoff.
The election, under the auspices
of the UGC, was conducted in a
new manner this year. Candidates
were allowed neither to write let-
ters nor to spend any money what-
soever on their campaign but each
candidate gave a 3-minute talk in
an open meeting Sunday night in
Whig Hall.
Kenneth N. Shapiro, director of
elections, was pleased with the
method in which the entire elec-
tion process was completed. "It
(the election) was remarkably free
from electioneering and on the
whole, I feel the new system pro-
vided a much better candidate than
:in the past. The election was not
so much of a personality contest
as it has been".
Seaquist, as class president, be-
comes a member of the honor com-
mittee and will join the UGC as
a voting member.
In expressing his gratitude to
the members of his class, Jack said,
"The interest which the class show-
ed during the campaign period was
very pleasing to me and I hope
that in the future the class will
continue to work together."

FORD'S TOTAL PERFORMANCE TOUGHNESS
DOMINATES THE COMPETITION WORLD!
Ford has chosen the most rugged testing program cars have ever faced . . . full-scale open competi-
tion on the rally and racing circuits of the world. This is the dramatic way to show that Fords have
changed .. . and the sure way to be certain they keep on changing. Changed? Just look at the record:
I
STOCK CAR RACING:
2-to-l margin for Ford
Ford is king of NASCAR com-
petition and Ford Motor Com-
pany has the NASCAR
Achievement Award to prove
it. In the '63 season, special
Ford entries won every single
race of 600 miles or longer,
scored nearly twice as many
points as any other make.
500-mile races are the ulti-
mate test of inherent dura-
bility and dependability. In two
other major stock car racing
associations I MCA and MARC,
Ford drivers have wrapped
up the 1963 championships.
SPORTS CAR ROAD RACING:
Ford V-8 power
is the new king
Here the Cobra with its spe-
cial Fairlane engine emerged
as the overwhelming leader
In one short year. CoDra won
the coveted Manufacturer's
Trophy in SCCA Class A Pro-
duction competition by so
wide a margin no other cars—
U.S. or foreign—were even.in
sight And in the two major.'
tests this fall, the Laguna
Seca and Riverside races, the
new King Cobras dusted off
the top "unlimited" cars from
aH over the world.
RALLY COMPETITION:
Manufacturer's
Championship
Products of Ford Motor
Company and its world-wide
affiliates won the 1963 Manu-
facturer's World Rally Cham-
pionship. Ford's rally year
began when two specially
equipped Falcon V-8's startled
the automotive world in the
brutal 2500-mile Monte Carlo
Rallye. Other special Falcon
V-8's triumphed in Holland's
famed Tulip Rally, and ran
away with the Manufacturers
Team Prize in the 4000-mfle
Trans-Canada Rally.
INDIANAPOLIS:
Ford ends an era
Advanced Ford engineering
smashed precedent in the
classic Indianap "
The first time c
version of the
design in a Lotus chassis
finished second. And the next
time, in the Milwaukee "200"
it ended the reign of the tra-
ditional "Indy" racing car by
leading every foot of the w*y
from start to finish.

PERFORMANCE & ECONOMY:
New laurels for Ford
The Mobil Economy Run
underscored Falcon's years-
long reputation for thrift—a
Falcon scored first in Class B
(medium-engined compacts).
And the Pure Oil Performance
Trials brought laurels to the
big Fords, which walked off
with overall wins in Classes I
and II for total performance
(economy, acceleration and
braking).
wmu COMPANY
/ 1964 Result:
TOTAL PERFORMANCE INSPIRES THE TOUGHEST,
SMARTEST CARS FORD EVER BUILT!
Fords have changed—and that's the real
reason behind Ford's racing successes. We're
now making the longest lasting, best han-
dling cars in our history. The things we've
learned from the specially equipped cars we
enter in open competition have helped make
them that way.
The inherent qualities that make the vic-
torious racing car—road-holding, braking,
durability, precision control, resistance to
vibration—also make a car safer, stronger,
and smoother for highway use.
But prove it to yourself. Take the wheel
of any new Ford. Five minutes on the road
will show you the kind of total performance
no one else can match.
