Napoleon's home is Bananquilla. on
the coast of the Carribbean Sea.
The city is famous for its docks
which also supply Napoleon's father with a job. He owns the largest
cattle shipping company in Colombia.
Napoleon came to MTSC to study
math, business, and pre-engineermg. He plans to take the rest of
his education at Vanderbilt university after which he would like to
be a naval engineer.
Napoleon is the sixth of nine
sons. All of the elder brothers
have come to the United States to
study for their profession. He has
a brother in Tulane University
and a younger brother in C.M.A.
His parents make a trip here every
seven months to visit them.
Since we don't have bull fights
and chicken fights here at MTSC,
the boys will have to settle down
to our kind of sports. Napoleon is
also having a hard time getting
used to our color combinations. He
hasn't gotten in the swing of wear

hot dogs the first year he was here,
but now has gotten a little tired ol

Raul and Napoleon aren't used to

said. T don't know whata I'm gonna do!"
None of the boys could speak
English before they came to our
country and it has been hard for
them to understand us and vice
versa. There are probably not very
many students here at MTSC that
are having to sacrifice their homes,
families, friends and country for
an education.

John Keith Jackson will star this
quarter in the role of Captain
Blakely. He was also part of the
cast for "Lady of Love." and served

In the part of Keefer, Hal Christiansen continues his appearances
on the college stage after a starring performance as Mr. Manningham in "Angel Street."

Another newcomer to the local
theatre is Bruce Hancock of Oak
Ridge, who is by no means unexperienced in the field of acting.
His acting ability brought him

Freshman Parade
Concludes Week
Of Activities
Concluding freshman week at
MTSC two weeks ago, freshmen
were seen running around clad in
outlandish clothes. The girls were
clad in skirts worn above their
5;
off-the-shoulder blouses;
freckles on their faeces, loads of
jewelry: corn earrings, a hose hat.
shoes on their feet, and the
g rut leading horses. The boys wore
blue jeans, white T-shirts
with
"BEAT WESTERN" written on the
shirts, wore corn earrings, tennis
shoes without socks, bells on ten0... shoes, and rode stick horses,
The reason for the freshmen beuuj (Tad in these outfits was that
this was initation day for Ihem. At
approximately 3:15 p.m. the freshmen started marching to town,
yelling for the Raiders and advertising the M.T.S.C. and Western
Kentucky football game. They were
followed by many cars in which
upper classmen got out of their
cars and participated with the
freshmen in a pep rally.
Friday night at half time the
freshmen took part in a rat race on
the football field, and this finished
their initiation day.
Desiqn For New MTSC Library
Teachers salaries drew the most
attention in the discussions, which
were directed by Frank Bass, executive secretary of the TEA. Those
attending did not agree on any
specific amount, they felt the state
should raise their pay. One ragid a S600-a-ycar raise, others
said that yearly salaries should
not be below S2500 minimum for a
degree teachers with IS >cars' experience as
recommended
last
lad year. •
Salaries of Tennessee teachers
ibdandard to those of industrj and to those paid teachers of
others states. This matter was
brought forth in the various meetings which were designed to sample the opinions of teachers as to
what the organizations legislative
program should consist. Represented were county and city school
systems of the middle Tennessee
area.

Biddy Ridley
A large percent of the students here at the
college are from Murfreesboro. From town
there are 87 freshmen. 83 sophomores, 54
juniors. 88 seniors, and last, but least only
in number, are 20 graduate students. When
add all these people together we come to
a total of X',2 which means this place is infested with Murfreesborans.
1 know if the rest of the Murfreesboro
crowd are like me. and I hope they aren't,
there's very little chance Ol finding out very
■such about them, mainly because they are al• s on the move 1. for example, come
charging through the campus about a minute
before my first class and spend the rest of my
time rushing back and forth, gathering up
books I forgot in my mad dash for class. Because it is difficult to get to know a person
very well when he is on the run and also because this keeps me from messing up the rest
of the paper, I am writing this column about
the town students.
Frankly the reason that I am telling you so
much about nothing in this issue is the fact
that I have nothing else to tell. Here's where
you can help me. townfolks. Please bring me
some news about you or someone you know
from town attending school out here.
The reason I ask you to do this job for me
is because I'm too lazy to do it myself. I would
like to be in this same spot on this same page
next issue, so remember. I'm counting on you.

"Sure' Boy. they are living dolls!"
"Man, you aren't just kidding. Another of

This statement always is followed by several of those long, low wolf whistles.
"You know," the conversation continues,

This is always followed by a mournful sigh
and then this invariable statement always

into the wee small hours of the night.
I suppose that the girls discuss the interesting boys nearly as fervently as the boys disCUSS the girls. Most of the boys at Jones hall
are freshmen, and perhaps many of you know
little about them. For the benefit of those
girls looking for a boy friend (and who isn't)
I'll tell vou a little about some of the boys.
Perhaps you're the type mat would like a
very nice and friendly boy who also is dark
and handsome. If you're interested in this
type of boy, I reeominend Roland Greer.
If vou're the quiet type and prefer the
kind that can easily talk the ears off a billygoat and still have not said anything worth
saying, there's Bobby Sells.
If you swoon over the suave, sophisticated
boys. Condin Fisher is for you. But if the
suave, sophisticated isn't enough, and you
prefer that your boyfriend be not only suave
and sophisticated but also talented with a
loud boisterous voice, there's only one boy
for you, Alton Ellis.
If you go for boys with regular habits and
who are handsome athletes, there's Jimmy
"Bird" Earle. To confirm his regular habits,
just ask anyone on the lower end of the third
floor. They will all tell you his habits are so
regular that he hasn't failed yet to be out until well after midnight.
If you would settle for just a handsome
athlete you have any number of choices. Herman Bayless, John Collin, and Ernie Ryman
would fill the bill. If you like the neat, immaculate type, then Biiford Crain is the guy
for you. Maybe the handsome trickster is
more your style. For this type try Glynn McGavock. For a tall, dark, and handsome pingpong player, try Don Sharp. If you like the
intellectual type, set your sights on Bobby Askins, Freddie Greer, or Jimmy Newman. If
wit is what you're looking for, try Don Horsley. If you love fun and are looking for a boy
who also loves fun, there's Claude Hamilton.
If any of these boys don't appeal to you,
don't give up hope. Surely somewhere in all
the boys at Jones hall is one in your style.

Everyone has calmed down to a cool roar
by now. In fact, we had our second dorm meeting last Wednesday evening. Our new president is JoAnne Winniger, a graduate of City
High in Chattanooga. Our other officers are
Betty Osteen, vice-president; Dean Rhodes,
secretary; Anita Grayson, treasurer; Nancy
Patton, pianist; and Helen Massey, songleader.
Mary Jo Putman and Peggy Baker were elected by the sophomores to represent them on
the dormitory council. Congratulations, all!
This must be the Hall of Fame, Ima Franklin of Nashville was one of the two cheerleaders elected from the Freshman class. Shirley
Pogue was elected as alternate.
Jean Frank's guest last week was Gena

SPEAKING OF DRUTHERS
A ill uther differs only a little
from a droodle. The difference is
that a druther had druther droodle
than druther. Now if everyone got
his druthers this would be a fine
world in which to live. Some people had druther be here than other
places, while still others had druther be other places than here.
This is one of the characteristics
which makes the druther a highly
unreliable, not to say unpredictable. That is also why women are
more infested with druthers than
men, who are of the opposite sex,
to say the least.

Marguerite Cotton
The MTSC orchestra met Tuesday, September 27, for a very enthusiastic first rehearsal to which
about 38 members came. The rehearsal was spent in looking over
new material for the Christmas
concert under the direction of Mrs.
Rubye Tayior Sanders, with Kenneth Pace .i. conductor.
New officers for the year are:
president, Patsy Caneer; vice-president, Kelly
Graves;
secretarytreasurer, Lou Ella Marlin; librarian, Jerry Williamson; accompanist,
Nancy Patton; reporter, Bobbye
Adams.
Any student interested in joining the orchestra is welcomed. No
previous experience is required.
It's really nice to see all the old
familiar faces and the nice new
faces. Two people just about everyone recognizes by now are our fine
president and vice-president of the
Student Body. I'm sure you would
like to know more about them so
here goes.
First, let me tell you about our
vice-president. Her maiden name
was Faye Presnell, but as of September 10, 1955, she is now Mrs.
Robert Joseph Turner.
I ave is from Whitwell, Tennessee. She was as popular in high
school as in college—the following
honors will point that out. Our
•\('<p" served as cheerleader for
six yean and she was head cheerleader her senior year. She was
president of her sophomore dan,
captain of the basketball team,
president of the MYF for three
years, Best Cltiaen of her senior
(lass, and president of the county
Honor Club.
Faye did a lot of 4-H work and
with the work came these honors:
National 4-H Congress; Stale
Health Winner for '53: National
4 II Speaking Winner for '52; All
Star Club and Volunteer State
winner. She also taught a Sunday
School class.
Faye graduated in 1953 and
started to MTSC that fall. She has
two majors, elementary education
and physical education with a minor in biology.
Since coming to MTSC Faye has
really been active in school activities. She holds membership in the
Methodist Student Movement, Student Christian Union, Drama club,
and Women's Athletic Association.
She has served as vice-president of
the MSM. social chairman of the
SCU, dorm president for two years,
cheerleader two years, and has
worked in the cafeteria
three
years. Now, she is serving the student body very ably in the capacity
of vice-president.
Faye's husband, Bobby Joe, is a
former TPI student. He is now
working in Chattanooga and plans
to enter MTSC the winter quarter.
Faye and Bobby Joe aren't sure
of their plans after graduation.
However, I'm sure that their future will be a happy one.
Our president of the student
body. Lyn Banks, has always been
an active person.
He hails from Manchester, and
graduated from Central high school
there. At Central he played two
years of baseball, was president of
the junior class and secretary of
the Hi-Y club.
In December of 1950, Lynn was
drafted into the army. He sailed
for Korea in April, 1951 and spent
ten months with the 2nd Infantry
Division than.
Private Banks rose to the rank
of corporal and was awarded the
Purple Heart (for wounds received
in the Heartbreak Ridge Battle),
Korean Service Ribbon,
Korean
Campaign Ribbon with three major
battle stars, and the Presidential
Citation.
l.ynn sailed from Korea to Japan
and then to the U.S. in 1952. He
rounded out his army tour of duty
at Camp Polk, Louisiana in September. 1952. Two weeks later he
entered MTSC as a freshman.
Here at MTSC Lynn has become
popular with his fellow students.
He has shown much interest and
enthusiasm in the school. He has
been a member of the Industrial
Arts club. T club. Church of Christ
group. Student Christian Union,
Boys' Dorm Council, Boys' Inler
Dorm Council, and has played on
the baseball squad for three >■
Lynn has held many offices in
these clubs, too. He is past secretary of the IA club, trustee of the
Circle • K." past president of the
Junior class, and served as vicepresident and treasurer of the
Boys' Dorm Council. He is now
doing a fine job as president of the
student body.
Lynn will graduate with a major
in industrial arts and minors in
education and social science. He
is interested in farming, but isn't
exactly sure of his future plans.

Statistic wise Middle Tennessee
State College has outshown her opponents even more than the score
indicates. This is not too hard to
understand with guys like Terry
Sweeney, Travis Akin, Charlie
Care, Jerry Kemp, C. D. Pinkleton,
Ed Carson and others lugging the
pig skin. (Incidentally is the ball
still made of that material or is it
made of some new fiber?)
The Blue Raiders have dominated the play by keeping the ball. An
old addage of you can't score if
you don't have the ball might apply to the Raider opponents. MTSC
has controlled the ball by running
181 running plays to her opponents
149. This is 32 more running plays.
Considering that during a game
each team only runs about 42 times
this is good.
Rolling on the ground the boys
in Blue have ground out 775 yards
compared by 613 by opponents
Through the airways MTSC has
thrown I he ball 40 times completing 19 for a total of 311 yards and
five touchdowns. The Raider*! opposition has tossed 4;> times completing 14 for 216 yards. It is intereseting to note that MTSC has
not allowed a touchdown to be
*d through the air.
One great improvement over last
peer at thli liana is the punting
lage. Sid Corban and Ranch
Reynolds have been doing a \ciy
good job kicking. The two quarterbacks have booted the ball 17 times
for 605 yards. This is an average
of 35.7 yards per punt. At this
time a year ago the punting average was only 23.7 yards per try.
In the individual statistic Terry
Sweeney is the big gun on offense.
Sweeney started the season rather
slowly. He gained on 27 yards in
nine trys. However, since the first
game Sweeney has been rolling
with more steam. The husky fullback has been a workhorse thus
far. He carried the ball 47 times
picking up 224 yards.
Two men share the leadership
in pass offense. Quarterbacks Sid
Corban and Hots Reynolds have
passed the aerial game by completing 19 to 40 throws. Corban
has completed 12 of 24 for 183
yards while Reynolds has connected with 6 of 13 for 119 yards.

after this certain individual had

From all reports, the team captains show promise of being the

speculation as to who will be this

were the selections made by the sportsmen. Anyone who witnessed the game could well understand the difficulty in selecting one player.

Blues Tie First Game of
Year With Austin Peay
MTSC will move to the mountains of East Kentucky this week
io meet Morehead State in an afternoon OVC game Saturday afternoon On Saturday. October 22 they
move out on West End and Natchez
Trace to meet Vandcrbilt in an
eight o'clock night game.
Perhaps MTSC fans and players
will begin to take scouting reports
seriously after the Blue hade to
struggle from behind to eke out a
14-14 tie with the Austin Peay Governors Saturday night in Clarksville. Scouts had said the Governors
had one of the best teams MTSC
would play.
Morehead, cow-tromped by a
merciless TPI two weeks ago 550,
rallied valliently to threaten Western Kentucky last weekend 12-7.
With their lime-burned regulars
back in action and strengthened by
experience the Morehead team will
be gunning for its first win of the
season and in its own backyard
Saturday of this week.
Defensively there were three
men, Billy Rogers, Wayne Bailey
and Bill Hix who kept the rout
from occuring. The rest of the line
appeared below par, the end play
being particularly off.
Offensively the Governor's kicked the Raiders into the hole on two
occassions with beautiful boots
that traveled over 50 yards. Aided
by a fumble on the 16 on one occassion and a compilation of penalties on another the Governor's were
able to push across two touchdowns
and conversions. On first downs
the Raiders had a 128 advantage
and outgained the Governors In
85 yards.
Trailing 147 late in the fourth
quarter the Raiders finally turned
on the steam with well executed
off-tackle plays and passes moved
to the five yard line from which
point Corban ran to score, with
George Haley converting what, as
the radio men say. was an all-important point. The Raiders first
score had come quickly and rather
easily in the first quarter. Sweeney
climaxed a drive with a seven yard
plunge.
Two quick Hilltopper touchdowns
in the fourth quarter caused uneasiness after a scoreless third
quarter. Western crossed the Raider goal line with Rodney Bagby
running 15 yards to score after a
pass interception. On the first play
of the next series of downs Crawford Alexander fumbled on the
Raider 23. Holt recovering for
Western. A pass interference penalty asscsed against Bailey set the
Raiders back on their heels and in
six plays Western moved over with
Van Hooser carrying.
This is the second successive
years the Governor's have thrown
the VSAC pennAnt chase into a
snarl with tie games. Last year the
game ended in a 7-7 deadlock.
This final Western tally seemed
to wake the Raiders. A beautiful
30 yard run by Care, two nice
moves by Sweeney and the Raiders
had moved 80 yards to score.
Two years ago the Raiders threw
a -(are into some Vandy followers
;'s the Blue led 13-6 at halftime.
MTSC lack of depth and a few
costly mistakes gave the Commodores a second half advantage in
which they went on to win 31-13.
'Hots" Reynolds
Reynolds, filling in for ailing quarterback Sid Corban,
directed the Raiders in brilliant fashion. Making his first
offensive appearance of the year, "Hots" connected with 5 of
9 passes for 104 yards including one touchdown, and ran for
another TD. He mixed his plays very well and did a fine job
on pass defense.
Sweeney, the big 200 pound transfer from the University
of Tennessee, was tearing holes in the beefy Hilltopper line all
night. He ground out 112 yards in 17 carries, including a 23
yard touchdown jaunt. Terry set-ly another Raider score and
threw a key block in the touchdown scored by Charlie Care.
His blocking and pass defense were superb throughout the
game.

Raiders To Invade
Morehead Lair
In Kentucky
To win the Raiders will have to
come up with another game like
that against Eastern or Western
Kentucky. Raider coaches are facing the hard task of getting the
local club to play them as they
come without looking forward to
next Saturday's game in Nashville.

This year the Commodores have
suffered two tragic losses 18-13
to Georgia and dumped back on
their goal line by Mississippi last
Saturday lost 13-0. In spite of these
two reversals they hold a win over
Alabama and are rated as one of
'he resurgent powers in the Southeastern conference.
MTSC Rolls Over
Western Kentucky
With 25-13 Defeat
Combining a slashing running
attack, led by Terry Sweeney, and
a neat passing attack, engineered
by Francis Reynolds, the Big Blue
won its second OVC game of the
season September 30 by defeating
Western Kentucky 25-13.
The Raiders rolled to a 19-0 halftime lead, scores being made by
Sweeney on a 23 yard run, Pinkleton on a sensational catch of a 35
yard pass from Reynolds, and a
four yard plunge by Jerry Kemp
alter Ben Hurt had intercepted a
Nassano pass. Only one kick by
Haley was cinverted.
