defending Eastern and Na
tional Gymnastics team. And
today the payoff comes at
2.p.m. when the Lions take on the
Temple Owls at South Hall in
Philadelphia.
"The morale of the team is
good," was Coach Gene Wett
stone's departing comment.
All eyes will be on his two
sophomores Lee Cunningham -
and Jay Werner—known
around here as the "Gold-Dust
Twins" because they are more
valuable than gold to Wett
stone. "I have never had two
such outstanding sop h o more
athletes at the same time." said
the successful Wetlstone.
"There's. promise in those
Iwo, but there's also insecur
ity," he warned. "It will be in-
teresting to see how they ma•
ture."
Besides competing in their first
;intercollegiate meet today, the
"Gold-dust Twins" will be com
peting against each other (in a
friendly way). .
During their freshman cam
paign last year, the two competed
t ogether in only one event—
Itumbling—and Cunningham won
i both times by I-point margins.
I But in today's meet. the two
will be competing with each
1 other (and Temple) in two dif
-1 ferent events—the parallel bars
I and the horizontal bars. Wer

lof winning the p-bar event due
I to his superior strength. But
Cunningham has a better rou
line on the high bar and is ex
-1 pected to even things there.
Both will have to have a got.d
day to beat Lion Captain Bob
IFoht on the parallels. Foht was
!third in the Easterns last year
behind his victorious teammate
Armando Vega and Navy's IC...ri
McNutt. Neither Vega nor Mc
i Nutt will compete this year, leav
ling the event open to a new
'champion—and Foht and Werner
are being given top consideration
Ito follow in Vega's footsteps.
Besides the parallels and high

favorites in their third even*.

Can you answer these questions
Q: Do you pay taxes in your electric bill?
A: Y. In fact, about 24: out of every dollar on the
average family electric bill goes for taxes.
Q: Does everyone pay this much tax in his eiectric
A: No. Several million American families ami bud
, nesses pay a far smaller tax—only a fraction of the
tax you pay.
Q: Who are these "privileged" people?
A: People who get electricity from federal government
electric systems.
Q: Why clon'i they pay the same taxes you pay?
A: A strange twist in federal law exempts them from
paying most of the taxes in electric bills that you
pay—because they get their electricity front federal
electric systems.
Isn't that unfair? Shouldn't every American
pay his fair share of taxes?
A: Yes. American standards of fair play► tali for each
citizen to pay his fair share of taxes.
