Rutgers is fielding a team this year that is be ing called the strongest in its long history and much of its success will depend on the Fijis who are playing. Largely through their efforts the team was able to win its first five games without much difficulty and talk has begun to spread of an un defeated season—the first in the school's long history.

When all join this effort, the result is advantageous to the persons involved as well as to the whole group. To be an effec tive force, all must learn to be con genial companions and to be appre ciative of others for unity is of the paramount importance. There is one main danger in uni fied action that must be avoided. This danger is that the individual may become enclosed in the prison of conformity. Conformity breeds personal decay and arrests intellec tual development. The potential of the individual is too great to be limited by the norms of the group. Due to the marriage and subse quent resignation of Recording Sec retary Pierce Erauenheim, an elec tion for the vacated position was held this semester. Richard Janish was elected. Rich is a senior busi ness major from Union, N. J. Rich has taken an active part in the fraternal responsibilities and his election is a just recognition of his efforts. Last year Rich was Chair man of the Social Committee. In this capacity he was responsible for the enjoyable social activities Nu Beta assertion will stimulate his associ ates and will strengthen his own character.

Back Row: Tom Rankin, Marv Engle, Richard Sieredzki, Bob Vecchio, and Jeff Heinig. As last year the Fijis are at the top in the Air Force Wing here at Rutgers. The cadet colonel is Don Lehman. As commander of the wing he has done a fine job in organizing its activities and has been precise in carrying out his duties. Don is very conscientious in his work and has developed a fine program for the fall semester. Although he will not be commander next semester, because of a policy of changing after the end of a semester, his work and planning will be carried on by the next wing commander and will act as a guide for those in succeeding years here at Rutgers. Also, as was true last year, a Fiji is commander of the Queen's Guard, the best drill team in the country in a non-professional capacity. At the helm is Joe Anstatt, who is doing a good job in attempting to keep the team on top. Joe realizes that it will be a rough job to do this but he is putting all of his effort into it and we of Nu Beta are confident that he will fulfill his obligations. As we return to the wing we can see Bill Libby who holds the second highest rank and is the inspector general. It is his task to rate and criticize the wing and its leaders every Wednesday on the drill field. He is spending many hours typing Rutgers are convinced that brother Libby is completely capable of carrying out the duties. Bob Meeker, who controls the purse strings of the house, is a group commander and by all indications the best on the field. He has shown initiative and desire on the drill field and will no doubt be in strong con tention for commander next semes ter. The remaining two seniors are Lee Curley and Jay Kowalski. Both are in the flight program and have been spending many hour.= without their feet on the ground. Since they have been on the drill field but once this year it is difficult to determine their potential, however, indications seem to reveal that they will be defi nite assets in the weeks to come. Gary Lauten, after a leave of ab sence from the program, has return ed to duty and is the assistant op erations officer for the wing. It is his responsibility to make certain that the drill procedure is carried out. Jud Ferguson and Bob Yaksick are the last members of the Fiji Air Force.

Already this season he has gained over 250 yards and is one of the leading receivers in the East. Alternating with Lee is Marv Engle from Kingston, N. Y. The mechanical engineer has been called Rutgers' best defensive end. He, however, is excellent on offense and possesses good speed which has been very beneficial in his college career. Bill Libby and Joe Anstatt, reserve linemen, have not played much this year but have shown much spirit on the practice field. Much credit must be given to these two and many other players on the team who help the starters play their best ball, for if they don't these men are capable of replacing them at any time. The last senior on the squad is Dick Webb from Buffalo, N. Y. Dick, who sustained a head concussion in the Princeton game will be out for the entire season. Dick started FIJI omore prospects. The first is Jon Paulson, a center, who has been pushing Alex Kroll for honors at this spot. He is alternating with Alex now and will be a main stay of the line next year. The second is Andy Carollo, a fullback, who has been publicly pegged by Coach Bateman as poten tially the best fullback in Rutgers history. Last year he started on the freshman team and has seen scat tered action this year. The last is Butch Painter, last year's freshman quarterback. Butch is an excellent passer and ball handler and with a little experience could be one of the best quarter backs in the school's history. Other sophomores who should de velop into good mcJiprial are Bill Herring, who is kicking off now. Bill Bennett, Paul Strelick, and Jim D'Antonio, halfbacks: Frank Kuch, a lineman; and Frank Hausner, an end.

Bob Yaksick from Clairton, Pa., is the fourth member of the starting defensive backfield. As corner line backer he has exhibited greatness and will be instrumental in forming next year's defensive secondary. Bob is a quarterback by nature and will no doubt get his chance next year on offense with the graduation of the first two signal callers. The other junior on the squad is Ron Egan from Franklin Lakes, N.J. Ron, who is an end, has shown much promise but has had to give way to experience at the end position. He should see much action next year as a senior. There are three outstanding soph gestions for chapter improvement. Some of the new innovations have proved to be of significance in Nu Beta's functioning, as the revised committee procedure testifies. The influence of the Academy will also be seen in our Rushing and Pledging programs. PURPLE AND SCARLET (Continued from Page 3.) is also a member of the senior hon orary society.
