Be A Safe Shooter
THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION
Although it retains its handy compact size, the Ford Fal
con has an exciting new look of action for 1964. Completely
restyled for the first time since its introduction four years
ago, the new Falcon offers added comfort inside, improved
economy and a softer, big-car ride. Both tall and short driv
ers will find the visibility improved and the seating position
more comfortable. The Falcon matches its look of action
with a choice of engines ranging from the economical 144-
cubic-inch six-cylinder to the high performance 260-cubic-
inch V-8. The Falcon has the widest model choice in the com
pact field with 17 models in five series including 2- and 4-door
sedans, hardtops, sports coupes, convertibles, station wagons
and the Station Bus, Club Wagon and Deluxe Club Wagon.
They will be introduced in Ford dealer showrooms Septem
ber 27.
The restyled Ford Fairlane for 1964 presents a big-car ap
pearance and boasts engine performance that was proved
in the Indianapolis “500.” Although new styling makes the
middleweight Fairlane look bigger, it remains about the size
of the 1956 Ford on the outside and the 1959 Ford on the in
side. Five engines are available, three of the same basic
design as the Fairlane V-8 that powered Lotus cars to second
and seventh places in the gruelling Indianapolis race. These
include two 289-cubic-inch V-8s, one 260-cubic-inch V-8, plus
170- and 200-cubic-inch six-cylinder engines. Combined with
five transmissions, these power plants offer a full array of
performance and economy choices for 1964. Eight Fairlane
models—hardtops, station wagons and sedans—will be intro-
dneed in Ford dealer showrooms September 27.

ligious Emphasis” in the campus
was one of the most important
factors. Eighty-two per cent of
the students indicated^ that tlfey
were influenced by the facts that
Newberry was a Lutheran and
Christian college. The survey also
showed that 84 per cent were in
fluenced by the fact that Newber
ry is a small college and 57 per ct.
or more than half of them were
attracted to Newberry because of
its friendliness. Thirty-eight per
cent said they were attracted to
Newberry because it offered the
course they desired. Thirty - six
per cent or better than 1 out of 3
said that the influence of New
berry college students was one of
the factors for their coming to
Newberry. This was followed very
closely by the influence of the
Alumnus which was indicated as
a factor by 25 per cent of the
freshmen.
The nearness of the college to
their home influenced 33 per ct.
The influence of parents and pas
tors war checked by 41 per cent,
of the students in their selection.
High School weekend at the col
lege and College Day at the High
school was checked by 22 per ct.
of the students. Athletics, singers,
band, Student activities, were in-
dictated as a determining factor of

Fiction Journal
Soon To Be Out
According to Dr. A. G. D. Wiles,
President of Newberry college, the
first issue of “Studies In Short
Fiction,” Newberry’s nationally
distributed scholarly journal, is
now in the hands of the printer.
The journal, which will be mailed
to subscribers in October, is the
first of its kind to be published
in the United States. Distributed
quarterly, the journal carries ma
jor essays of scholarly commen
tary on short fiction, brief critical
notes, and signed book reviews.
The first issue of the journal
will run to around 100 pages, ac
cording to Dr. Frank L. Hoskins
Jr., Editor, and Chairman of the
English department at Newberry.
Professor Hoskins remarked: “We
have been much encouraged by the
well-wishes we have had from
scholars at the universities and
colleges throughout the country.
Since the announcement of “Stud
ies In Short Fiction” in the nat
ional press, we have received a
gratifyingly large number of
personal subscriptions, to say
nothing of subscriptions from the
university and college libraries a-
cross the country from the Uni
versity of Maine to the University
of Hawaii”’
Prof. Purvis E. Boyette, also
of the Newberry College depart
ment of English and Associate Ed
itor of the journal, said that this
first issue of “Studies In Short
Fiction” includes critical articles
by scholars at such schools as the
University of California, Rutgers,
the University of Misouri, and the
University of North Carolina.
Subject matter, he said, ranges
from a heretofore unpublished
short story by Stephen Crane to
an analysis of the short fiction
of George Gascoigne, a writer of
16th century England.
“Newberry college decided to
underwrite the publication of the
journal. President Wiles com
mented, “because it wished to ac
knowledge its unequivocal com
mitment to scholarship on the
Newberry college campus and be
cause the journal as a dissemina
tor of discoveries and opinions of
scholars interested in short fiction
enables Newberry college to per
form a service for the entire
scholarly world.”
Mrs. O. O. Copeland returned
Thursday from a visit with her
sister, Mrs. B. W. Gibson and fam
