'Business arid economics students and faculty are our greatest hope for providing credible free enterprise education to other school disciplines and the community.' Dr. Don Diffine Members were Jake Jensen, Ted Thompson, Walt Buce, Phyllis Higgins, Susan Collins and Sally Florence. Fourteen colleges and universities from five states were included in the competition, which had as its primary purpose to "promote free enterprise in as many ways as possible and involving as many people as possible," according to Diffine. Diffine said, "The fact that 'free enterprise' is simply freedom applied to the market place has rarely been taught. We take the approach that economic individualism, private property and the market economy are not neutral concepts. They are, in fact, worthwhile and attainable goals. We're supporting the system that supports us." He continued, "Business and economics students and faculty are our greatest hope for providing credible free enterprise education to other school -disciplines and the community. It is for this reason the business community chooses to ally itself more and more with colleges of business in preserving and improving a free enterprise and incentive system." Seeking national affiliation The Public Relations Club, an organization cosponsored by Mrs. Betty Ulrey and Dr. Heber Taylor, was made up primarily of mass communications, journalism, and public relations majors. The club's main project was to BUSINESS TEAM members Allen Hunt, Walt Smith, Hal West.
