Southern Speaks
BY DOUGLAS SMITH

Even though our football team
lost the game Friday night at
Beall, the boys made a wonderful
showing. Behind 10 going into the
fourth quarter, they fought back
to within point of a tie. The
game ended on a play that gained
several yards for the Southern
team. Several hundred Southern
rooters cheered the team on.
The annual magazine campaign
got under way Thursday evening
following individual assemblies for
the Junior and Senior High schools.
A representative from the Curtis

standing craftsmanship. The goal
for the campaign this year is 3d..
600.
| stopped in the library the

time to go to the library once
week. From this Core class two as
sistant librarians are chosen to
help with the books.
The library has about 1000 cata-
logued books of which 5000 are
fictional. The library subscribes to
three newspapers and thirty-seven
magazines. twenty additional
magazine subscriptions are do
mated by friends of the school.

Air Force Academy
Cost Estimate Far loo
Low, Democrat Says
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Representative Durham, DEM
ocrat. of North Carolina said
today "the administration is try
ing to put across" an Air Force
academy that he estimated
would cost half a billion dollars
by asking for only $40 million
at the outset.
Mr.. Durham is a member Of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee, which continues hearings
today on a bill to authorize an
air West Point and permit in
itial planning to start.
"I am for the academy" Mr..
Durham said in an interview,
"but am going to demand that
the administration bring up a
specific estimate Of the cost.
This has to be put on a business
like basis"
Mr.. Durham tried unsuccess-
fully to get an estimate yester-
day from Secretary Of the Air
Force Talbot.
The Secretary said he had no
final figures, but had heard one
estimate Of $125 million, which
he added might be q minimum
figure.
Mr.. Durham said his expert
ence on college boards in North
Carolina convinced him that
constructing and stating the pro-
posed academy and such other
buildings as a hospital would
total $500 million.
Mr.. Talbot was called back
today for further questioning,
along with Gen. Nathan F. Twin
ing, Air Chief of Staff, and 1t.
