There are other sides to Honda, too. Hondas are fiend
ishly frugal. A gallon of gas will carry you up to 200 mpg,
depending on which of the 15 Honda models you’re
driving. And insurance bills shrink to practically nothing.
As for upkeep, a Honda needs little.
The shining example above is the remarkable Honda
50. It sells for about $215*. And there are 14 more models
to choose from. Look them over.

Cager Morale
By LARRY R. JERDEN
Battalion Sports Editor
Rumor has it that Head Bas
ketball Coach Shelby Metcalf
used to pray every night that
Randy Matson would go out for
basketball. Once again, the pow
er of prayer has been shown, or
at least that’s the way most Ag
gie cage fans probably feel after
the announcement of Matson’s
decision to try out for the team.
“I just want to see if I can
still play,” Matson said. He was
an all-stater at Pampa, but hasn’t
played for two years.
Metcalf said he never asked
Randy to come out, but that “I
did stand around with my mouth
watering when I would see him.”
Randy thinks he may be a lit
tle out of shape for basketball,
but that it shouldn’t take too long
to get back in the groove
Spec Gammon, sports publicity
director, said most observers
feel Matson will play around 245
pounds, down about 10 from his
present 255. His 6-6% height
will be no disadvantage on the
courts, and his weight should be
quite advantageous under the
boards.
If he makes the team, it will
probably cause a strategy change,
Metcalf has said. If he develops
as Metcalf feels he will, the Ag
gies will use a double post, high
and low, and the spots will be
interchangeable between he and
John Beasley. Another move
could be to move Beasley, the
Ags’ All-America candidate and
the nation’s number seven scorer
last year, to the outside and let
him blast loose with his long
shots. Matson could handle the
chores under the boards.
On his personal schedule, Ran
dy said if his schedule permits,
he will work out twice a week
with weights, but added that he
will not compete in the indoor
track competition.
Metcalf sees Matson’s partici
pation as a great boost to team
morale, and feels it will aid in
an extra effort by the team mem
bers, who have been working out
on their own for the last few
days in preparation for Friday’s
initial official workout.
Metcalf said he feels Matson
will put out all the way, especial
ly since he volunteered for prac
tice without any outside pressure.
The Aggies have six returning
lettermen, including Beasley,
Dick Stringfellow, Tim Timmer
man, Sonny Fethkenher, Dick
Rector and Eddie Dominguez.
Of those returning, however,
only two were starters: Beasley
and Rector. The biggest single
improvement, outside of Matson,
will be in team speed, and Randy
will help there, too.
Metcalf concluded that “He’s
just out as one of the boys with
no special treatment.” Yep, that’s
Randy Matson . . . just one of the
boys!
PE Department
Provides Fun
For Students
A major program of the De
partment of Health & Physical
Education is to provide fun and
recreation for the students of
A&M University.
C. E. Tishler, department head,
said the department has a three
fold purpose: First is teacher
and coaching preparation; sec
ond, teaching students skills and
knowledge in adult recreational
activities; third, to provide recre
ation.
To carry out this purpose, su
pervisors have been assigned to
keep the many activities on the
move. Dr. C. W. Landis is in
charge of teaching and coaching
and heads the lunch-time faculty
and staff recreation.
Dr. N. A. Ponthieux is in
charge of required athletics. Ray
mond Fletcher is the intramural
head while A. D. Adamson keeps
the swimming program on the
move.
The department requires every
student to complete at least four
semesters of recreation. A physi
cal fitness test is given every se
mester to freshman and first-
semester sophomore students.
There are three phases of rec
reation, Tishler said. The first is
organized competitive sports for
students not good enough to
make varsity sports. The second
is the clubs sponsored by the de
partment, including badminton,
bowling, fencing, gymnastics,
soccer, water polo, weight-lifting
and wrestling. The third involves
facilities open to the faculty and
staff.
The PE Department has a va
riety of facilities, such as an in
door and an outdoor swimming
pool, four lighted tennis courts,
horseshoe pits, football fields,
softball fields, 14 handball courts
and a basketball court in Deware
Field House.

DARN RIGHT YOU
NEED THIS JOB...
YOU’VE GOT OVER
1,000,000,000
MOUTHS TO FEED!!
hat’s right — 1.3 billion to be exact.
By 1980 it is predicted that world
population will have increased to at least
that many.
And, as usual, the U. S. farmer will fall
heir to the burden of feeding a lot of
these people. Each day there are fewer
farmers, with less workable land, to do
this job.
That’s where we enter the picture. We’re
in the chemical business. Agricultural
chemicals. It’s a big business and it’s
growing every day. More and more the
American farmer, as he faces his new
challenge, is relying on agricultural
chemicals and the dealer who supplies
them to help him raise his crops.
We need men who can sell —not just
products, but new ideas and innovations
as well — to these dealers. If your qualifi
cations are right, there’s both room and
opportunity for you in this booming and
ever-changing agri-business world.
Meaningful work? Vbu bet! The quality
and abundance of food and vegetables
available in our grocery stores is evidence
of that. American farming has thus met
its challenge. Success in your job will be
a further contribution toward keeping
American agriculture leading the world.
This is more than just a job; it’s a re
sponsibility, a career that offers growth,
variety, challenge, and pay based on per
formance. They’re pretty big shoes, and
we’re looking for men to fill them.
Science of Tomorrow. That’s right!
Farming will be one of the most impor
tant sciences of tomorrow. The agricul
tural chemical industry is vital to Ameri
can agriculture in helping to meet the
challenge of a rapidly expanding popula
tion and an ever-dwindling farmable
land area.
But you don’t have to be a scientist.
Whatever your major, if you can work
well and successfully with people toward
a mutually beneficial program —and if
you want to be a part of a challenging
and changing industry—we would like to
hear from you. (We are an equal oppor
tunity employer.)
Start at “GO”! Training for a career in
agricultural chemical sales takes get-up-
and-go on your part. To prepare for
your role in agri-business, you receive six
months’ formal training —the first five
weeks at the San Francisco Home Office.
This includes company familiarization,
product orientatipn and general study of
entomology, agronomy, accounting, and
salesmanship. Then you are assigned to
one of nine sales regions for five months
of on-the-job training in all of these
aspects of ag-chemical marketing.
After successful completion of training,
you are assigned to a territory of your
own as one of a 5-8 man team reporting
to a Branch Sales Manager. His job is to
see that his men — particularly the new
men—get all the training and help they
need to be successful in their career.
On the Job: In addition to your salary,
you are provided with a car and business
expense account. The company’s em
ployee benefits plan provides a com
prehensive package ranging from paid
vacations and holidays to life insurance,
medical care, and retirement. The com
pany’s educational refund plan encour
ages further self-development in employ
ees who desire it.

Center to see the Ortho Representative.
