Wrestling Club The Wrestling Club was organized three years ago to promote intercollegiate wrestling between SFA and other colleges and universities in Texas and the surrounding states. The club has endeav- ored to establish wrestling as a minor sport in the Lone Star Conference. Nine club members repre- sent SFA in each weight class during competition meets. Matches with the University of Texas, Lou- isiana State University, the University of South- western Louisiana and LeTourneau College have shown the possibilities for a promising future. Dr. Nelson Samson, professor and assistant to the dean of the School of Forestry, was instrumental in organizing the group and is the club coach. Wrestling Club members are, front row, James Brunson, Robert Harris, Dr. Nelson Samson, Jim Graham; back row, Stephen Leon Mohr, Jim Walshe and Temple Smith. Young Republicans The SFA Young Republican Club promotes the platforms and candidates of the Republican Party in an atmosphere of friendship and recreation and gives active assistance to the Republican Party of Nacogdoches County and Texas. Young Republi- cans helped the parent party with bumper sticker drives and telephone campaigns in the Nixon- Agnew ' 68 presidential campaign and in the Paul Eggers Texas gubernatorial drive. The SFA club won the award for outstanding College Club of the Year at the Texas Young Republican Federa- tion Convention held in San Antonio. The award was given in recognition of the club ' s growth in membership, its activity and work in political campaigns and allied projects undertaken by the organization.
