EARN OVER $6,500
WITH ARMY ROIC
Before you graduate from college! Because now, you can com
bine service in the Army Reserve or National Guard with Army
ROTC. It’s called the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP).
And, depending on your academic year when you enter, SMP
can help you earn over $6,500.
Here’s how it works. If you qualify and a vacancy is available,
you become a member of an Army Reserve or National Guard unit
as an officer trainee and, at the same time, enroll in the Army
ROTC advanced course at your college. Your Reserve or Guard
membership will pay you at the minimum level of Sergeant E-5, and
you’ll receive $100 a month during the regular school year as an
Army ROTC advanced course cadet.
At the end of your second year of advanced ROTC, you’ll be
commissioned a second lieutenant and, assuming there’s a vacancy,
serve with a Guard or Reserve unitwhije you complete the require
ments for your college degree. Upiri’gradiiation, you may con
tinue service with a Guard or Reserve urat while pursuing your
civilian career, or you can, if you prefer, compete for active duty as
an Army officer ’ r
So if you’d like to eam over $6,500 while you’re still in college,
get into SMP. Because SMP can help you do it. You can bank on it!
For further information, contact tne Professor of Military
Science at your school.

Tractor pull starts this weekend
by LEE ANN HILEMAN
Staff writer
Time is winding dow n to Nov.
3 and 4. the days slated for the
Agriculture Economics Club’s
Bulldog Tractor Pull. “The
stands are up. the track is
prepared, and we are ready to
go." said tractor pull chairman
Chuck Duggan.
Georgia Tractor Pullers Asso
ciation President Harold Hobbs
will be one of the featured
pullers in his souped-up four-
wheel drive truck as the tractor
pull opens Saturday.
"Because more people arc
familiar with trucks, they find
this class the most exciting ta
watch." said ag economics
President Malcolm Richter.
Panicipating in the local level
will be 25 operators of four-
wheel drive trucks. "We really
did not expect such a good
turnout of local pullers," said
Duggan. "If we continue to
receive such good response,
there is a possibility of having a
special night of local competi
tion for prize money next year."
The club also expects to have
ten local pullers in the tractor
division. The local clement adds
to a tractor pull because "the
crowd gets really excited when
they see someone they know in
competition." said club member
Mark Bland.
A variety of machines—mini-
tractors. gigantic tractor rigs,
and four wheel drive trucks—
give the crowd a choice of favor
ites. according to Bland. Also,
seeing the different types of
machines equipped with every
thing from car motors to rocket
engines keeps the contest from
becoming monotonous, he said.
But the crowd provides the
most interesting aspect of a
pull. "People come from the
Athens area and several south
eastern states. Sometimes they
arc not familiar with the puller,
but thev root for him because
they own the same brand of
machine that he is driving."
said Bland.
Tractor pulling originated in
the midwest at county fairs.
Duggan said. Mule teams were
the first to pull a weighted sled,
but as tractors replaced mules
on the farm, so they replaced
mules in front of the sled.
"Tractor pulling has gone
through many changes, hut it
still has the charm of the county
fair atmosphere." said Duggan.
"The tractors of the earlier
pulls were those used on the
farm. Today, only local competi
tors use stock tractors. GTPA
sanctioned pullers drive rigs
suitable only for contests." said
Dr. Josef Broder, adviser for the
club.
Several concession booths
contribute to the fair atmos
phere. Hamburgers, hotdogs.
homemade cakes and cookies
and drinks will be available.
Bulldog Tractor Pull T-shirts
will be given away and sold. An
opportunity to try new types of
chewing tobacco will be offered
at a Skoal-sponsored booth.
"Our main goal is to raise
enough money to send at least
ten AEC members to the
National Agri-Marketing Asso
ciation Student Competition in
Chicago." Broder said.
"The club members have to
work together to present a new
product to the agriculture mar
ket. This presentation includes
deriving a logo, advertising, and
projecting sales."
The tractor pull will begin at
the intersection of River Road
and College Station Road on
Saturday night at 7:30. and on
Sunday afternoon at 1:30. Tick
ets cost $3.25 each in advance.
$4 at the gate, and $3 per
member of a group of 15 or
more.
Tickets are available at Con
ner Hall in Room 304 or from
AEC members. For ticket in
formation, call 542-2481 or
542-2565.
