NCAA, AAU Fight Continue
By HA1KOLD V. RATLIFF
Associated! Press Sports Writer
The NCAA and National AAU
are mixed irt a power fight.
The NCA A wants to take over
the direction, of amateur athletics
and the A.A U, which has been
handling it For 75 years, doesn’t
want someboicly usurping its place
in national axid world spoils.
The main thing involved is
stronger reptresentation for the
NCAA, but it can’t get it, so the
NCAA is organizing federations in
track and 13 eld, basketball and
gymnastics.
Four times the two organizations
have met in an attempt to straight
en out their differences. All have
failed.
At first blush most people
thought the NCAA would take
over. But a closer look at the
situation leaves one with the idea
that the AAU will continue to be
the power of amateur athletics.
To understand the situation it
needs to be pointed out that each
country has an organization that
furnishes athletes for the Olym
pics, the Pan American Games and
other regional spectacles. There
are world federations for each
sport carried on the schedule of
the Olympics.
But the overall controlling body
is the Inteimational Olympic Com
mittee of which Avery Brundage,
that great apostle of amateurism,
is president. Brundage was presi
dent of the National AAU for sev
en terms before becoming head of
the Olympic committee.
The International Amateur Ath
letic Federation controls track and
field. The other day this organiza
tion said it would recognize only
the AAU as the governing body
for amateur athletics in the United
States. The president of the In
ternational Gymnastics Federation
has taken the same course. All
other federations are expected by
the AAU to follow suit.
Thus, the NCAA, which has
brought colleges and high schools
under its banner (except the NAIA
of 460 small colleges) won’t have
anywhere to send the athletes.
There’s still another point that
the NCAA now has to consider.
In the past the AAU has done
nothing about the athletic scholar
ship business and the collegians,
who were getting their keep and
an education in exchange for their
participation in athletics, were al
lowed to participate.
Rules Tightened
But the rules of the Olympic
Committee, promulgated for 1962,
say these athletes no longer will
be considered amateurs. This is
looked upon by the leaders of am
ateur sports as being paid to par
ticipate.
Thus, the NCAA couldn’t qualify
for the job of being the amateur j
sports body in the United Stsl
unless it used only the collep; i

Scientists Know Space Better
Than Earth, Says Dr. Benson
By CARL E. WOOD
Special to The Battalion
‘‘Scientists know more technical
information about outer space than
they know about the earth on
which they live,” a program di
rector of the Mohole Project said
this week.
Dr. William Benson, Assistant
Program Director for the Earth
Sciences of the National Science
Foundation, was the guest lecturer
at the NSF summer lecture pro
gram here on campus. His lecture
was “Mohole Project, Phase I.”
Mohole is a project co-sponsoi’ed
by the National Academy of Sci
ence and the National Science
Foundation, to drill down to the
layer of the ear-th which separates
the mantle or intermediate layer
from the outer or crust of the
earth.
Dr. Benson emphasized that the
project was not a stunt by the oil
industry, but that it was an all-out
effort by scientists and engineers
of this nation to learn more about
the three dimensions of the earth.
Only Theories Before
Benson said that until 1956 only
the vague ideas and theories of
individual persons were known on
how to study and reach the inner
layer of the earth. It was at this
time that the co-sponsoring organ
izations decided to join with the
®il industiy and pool their efforts.
Research people from all over
the nation have given their ideas
and time to make the Mohole Proj
ect a success so far. Each problem
in the operation has been a new
one and in most cases turned out
to be a project in itself.
Since Mohole was something new
and had never been tried before,
almost all of the equipment used
on the project was especially de
signed for the problems which they
might meet.
Water Presents Problem
Dr. Benson explained that the
Mohole test drillings were made
in 12,000-foot-deep water because
the earth’s crust is the thinnest
under the ocean. This made drill
ing relatively easier and less ex
pensive.
Drilling in deep water for the
first time thus far has been the
basis for most of the problems that
have confronted the project. Ben
son explained how large outboard
motors on the drilling ship kept
it stationary over the hole while
drilling was going on.
He also explained how the main
stresses and strains on the long
string of free hanging drill pipe
were relieved. Dr. Benson com
pared the long string of rotating
drill pipe to a piano wire stretched
eight stories supported only at the
top.
Two major problems, re-entry in
to a hole and heat increases, still
remain to be solved.
Progress Made
Project Mohole has thus far
given much information. Many
previously questionable answers to
certain problems have now been
proven by the data gained from
the project. Two outstanding an
swers gained were in the history
«nd evolution of the ocean basins,
and hydrographic information of
the Pacific Ocean.
Future Mohole test drilling sites
depend upon several things, Ben
son explained. Heat coming from
the center of region of the earth
and the type of sediments, soft or
hai’d, will make a big difference.
The main Mohole will probably
be drilled either in the area north
of Puerto Rico or in an area east
of the Hawaiian Islands.
Early Start Wanted
The starting date of the main
Mohole drilling is hoped to be
within the next two years, but the
contract has just been let for the
second phase; therefore, it might
very well be three years, Benson
said.
Benson used color slides and mo
vies to illustrate the techniques
and problems which have con
fronted the Mohole Project.
Approximately 200 students, fac
ulty members, and guests attended
the lecture.
