Union Selects Eight Calendar Girls
For January Through August 1966
Holiday Hours
Are Announced
The office of the Dean of
Faculties has announced that all
classes will be dismissed at
noon next Wednesday for
Thanksgiving holidays.
Any student with an illness
or other reason for missing
class must petition the Council
of Deans or otherwise receive a
five per cent penalty on his
grade. This rule, which has
been in effect for several years,
was originally devised by stu­dent
government and faculty
to stop the premature, mass ex­odus
that took place on the
campus before every holiday.
"I have received the request
•for the station and a notifica­tion'
of the formal voting,"
Philpott said.
The student body voted 2,724
to 1,387 Oct. 28 to raise the
student activities fee $1 to
establish the station.
"There will be no fee in­crease
this year," President
Philpott said. "The Board of
Trustees has already met and
set the. fees for this year. The
change can only take place a
year from this September."
The Board of Trustees met
Oct. 29, one day after the stu­dent
body election and did not
have time to consider the pro­posal,
Philpott said.
"The proposed station will
require a special committee in
order to ascertain the exact

The Storm Clouds Gather
Hell Raising Raises Some Dust
To raise hell or not to raise hell—with fraternity
pledges—has come into sharp focus this week as va­rious
professors have voiced complaints that many
students are coming to class red-eyed, sleepy, "beat-up"
looking, or simply not coming.
The complaining professors were referring specifically
to students they knew were going through what some fra­ternities
call "hell week" in which the pledge approaching
initiation is heavily harassed and, in some cases, rendered
unable to properly attend classes.
While only six fraternities label their initiations "hell
week," many do the same under a general "initiation." A
few have initiated a "Help Week" to replace the pre-initia-tion
hazing which constructive projects.
IFC President Randy Partin has indicated that the coun­cil
may take action this week if the complaints continue.
"Working with the IFC in previous years, I have heard
complaints from students and faculty that these pre-initia-tion
activities, (sometimes called Hell Week) are a detriment
to grades and the fraternity system," Partin said.
"The old-type boys coming through rush have been
replaced by boys who are more mature, better prepared
for the academics of college life and not as receptive to
excess pre-initiation activities. These activities are highly
personal to the individual fraternities, but they often take
place during midquarter when tests are heaviest; because
of this they can sometimes hurt a boy's grade point average
and prevent him from having the proper point average

MiuiUKhiK Kilitor
for med school or ether courses of graduate study," he said.
"Dr. Philpott has said that he is an advocate of fraterni­ties,
if they maintain high academic standards. The IFC
greatly hopes to work with all the fraternities and to
bring our system up to date by limiting the time of these
activities. We realize that they have a definite place but
we want to keep them from going too far," he said.
In a poll of students and faculty involved, the Plainsman
tried to seek out all aspects of the problem.
One unhappy professor said: "I was in a fraternity my­self
and I know what these boys are going through; but
I think the problem of late has been getting out of hand.
I am tird of lecturing to a group of boys who look like they
have just come in from the Battle of the Bulge."
One pledge said: "All of the actives tell me about how
bad initiation is going to be. There are some actives in
the chapter that are weaker than me. If they made it
through, I think- I can. It will prove that I am worthy
of membership."
One graduating senior: "I don't think that heavy harass­ment
proves anything. When I went through we never got
any sleep and we had the usual 'road-trips' and heavy
physical harassment, including the paddle, and I can never
see how it helped me any toward being a better fraternity
man. If I had it to do over again I don't think I'd do
it. This doesn't mean that I love my fraternity any less."
Another senior said: "The harassment was fun for me
for a while. But I think that every fraternity has a few
fanatics that are sadistic enough to endanger lives. You
never know from one rush to another whether someone
is going to get hurt bad or not."
One new initiate said: "I made it through and it didn't
hurt me. I felt all along that it was done in a spirit of fun.
I see no reason why the next group should be given lighter
treatment than me. I'd hate to see the fraternity get taken
over by a group of pansies."
Said a fraternity president: "I think that something must
be done about "Hell Week." It has lightened some since I
have been active, but I don't think that "To die a pledge
is to live forever" as some people do. The harrassment
should be limited to work projects and tests, I think, rather
than a test of stamina and courage. Most of us can tell
the true mettle of a boy by talking to him and working
with him. Why should we run him through Marine-type
training to see if he really desires membership when he has
already given of his time and money to show it?"
One faculty mother whose son is an active: "Johnny (not
his real name) always got along well with everybody and he.
made it through all right as far as I know. I'm glad that
he is in a fraternity because I know how beneficial it is.
If it got a little rough, well that's the way boys are."
So the question, not a new one, comes up again. No one
is going to say that fraternities are not beneficial. The
question seems to be "What does excess harassment prove,
in terms of health, time, grades, and boys?"
Evaluation Day Hearing;
Appraisal Forms Ready

the lectures to the appearance
of the instructor.
The remaining G questions

At formal ceremonies during

Grease Paint And Old Bricks . . .
The Players: A Glimpse At Something Good
An old red brick building with blackened Gothic
windows stands on the corner across from Samford Hall
—strangely enough it houses what some consider one of
the South's finest theatrical groups, The Auburn Players.
In this building, which has a long and colorful history
itself, everything from the light satire on Harry Truman's
administration, "Call Me Madam," to Thomas Wolfe's
deeply moving "Look Homeward Angel," has been produced.
The facilities are more than cramped. With a college
of 12,000 students, not to mention faculty and townspeople
interested in the players, the theater seats only 144. Conse­quently
the plays often must run 10 or 12 nights. The
three by eleven foot triangular dressing rooms get some­what
frustrating when ten men try to put on costumes
ranging from a knight's garb to a grey flannel suit. The
20 foot stage opens in the back, below rafters bedridden
confederate soldiers probably counted when the building
was used as a hospital during the Civil War.
Director Bob Knowles is considered by some people to
be the best in Southern drama today and is invited annually
to judge drama in Florida theaters. Mr. Knowles directs
the players to make each of their performances fresh,
alive, and always reflecting originality and genius. One
senior, who had never been to a performance before, said
"I couldn't believe my eyes. The scenery was beautiful, the
acting wasn't like high school. I surely was impressed."
By JERRY BROWN
The theater and the players somehow blend together in
the long hours spent in repeating lines till they are well
stamped in the memory, in learning the proper expressions
to convey the deathliness in tragedy and the buoyance in
humor, in creating sets from thin air with buckets of
sweat, bruised thumbs, and paint long ingrained under
fingernails.
The efforts are not all agonizing. One of the most in­teresting
stories is told by Director Knowles. One afternoon
he was alone in the theater painting a set. Since no light
can enter the theater because of the blackened windows, all
was dark except for the necessary stage lights. He heard the
door open and when he looked toward the back of the
theater, he could see the outline of a man, a short heavy man,
with a top coat hanging just above his knees. "Looks like
Henry the Eighth, "Knowles said he thought to himself.
Then a great booming voice that none could mistake
broke out ". . . dammit, its greasepaint! I'm home, . . .
dammit, I'm home!"
It was Charles Laughton, the famous actor who had
played Henry the Eighth all over the world. He was giving
his Bible reading performance, in Auburn, spied the drama
theater on his way through and decided to take a rest.
Knowles quickly gathered as many players as he could and
Laughton took the entire afternoon telling them stories about
his life.
There are many stories to tell; but the players are not a
nostalgic group—they work. Each play is a new experi­ment
in some mode of drama for the players.
Members of the group have been successful in the
field too. One ex-player, who was a music major, wrote
the score for the off-Broadway hit "Fiddler on the Roof."
Kelly Collum, who left Auburn before graduating, played
at the Pittsburgh Playhouse; he has since returned to
Auburn, is graduating this quarter, and is directing the
contemporary drama on alcoholism "Come Back, Little
Sheba." Another former player, Bob Blackburn, is now a
resident professional Shakespearean actor with the Atlanta
Municipal Theatre.
One could not mention the Auburn Players without
including the man who devoted his life to the group,
the late Telfair Boys Peet. He died last summer and left
his legacy of hard work for the fine arts for others to
continue.
Who would know that such creativity could come from
the little "two by four" building on the corner? Who would
ever imagine that Charles Laughton sat on that tiny stage
and belly-laughed about Broadway?
The old bricks and black Gothic windows stand mute
as the years slip by, but the creative voice of the Auburn
Players is loud and clear.

Sponsors Second Issue Of Basis
By SUSAN FOY
The second issue of "Basis," literary-art magazine sponsored
by the Architecture and the Arts Department, will be published
the first of winter quarter.
An experimental edition of
"Basis" was published last
spring under the same sponser-ship.
"Basis" deals with the basic
attitude of learning and offers
opportunities for the establish­ment
of new criteria in the
arts.
It derives its name from the
basis process of learning, which
is to approach the creative at­titude
by showing ends and
having people question those
ends.
This year's editor, Buddy
Golson, describes the magazine
as "an expression of the stu­dents,
not just in architecture
and the arts, but in diverse
creative arts. By showing ends,
instead of showing how to cre­ate,
it stimulates people to
create."
Persons interested in "Basis"
may contribute short stories,
poetry, art, or art photographs.

'Rah' Plus Study—Spirit?
No longer do students beseige The
Plainsman with wailing letters chiding
fellow students for their lack of attend­ance
at pep rallies or local athletic
events. We can't even scrape up a mal­content
who will point out the sin of
failing to yell loud enough at a game.
And, since the band, so we hear,
"doesn't have time to play the alma
mater" because "Goldfinger" and other
showtime pieces readily consume val­uable
stadium minutes, we accept their
ultimatum with humble heart and ask
their forgiveness for our seemingly
mis-placed sense of values in earlier
concern for the missing alma mater.
The time has passed when The
Plainsman writers' stirring editorials
lamenting the absence of school spirit
and suggesting that students show
more of that rowdy affection for the
old alma mater prevailed.
We think it creditable that students
no longer believe tales that university
problems would be solved by their
yelling a little louder at campus events.
For that shining example of love and
devotion to the institution has doubtful
possibilties of making the college a
better one.
Loyalty to Auburn is not fostered
in hours of overt noisemaking, but
rather upon dedication to goals of aca­demic
excellence constructed painstak­ingly
over the four-year experience.
Her students are loyal without being
prententious. They demonstrate devo­tion
with no signs of blatancy. They
care without being mauldin.
We suppose that the ultimate cause
of the dying of school spirit in the "rah,
rah" sense is due to. what seems to be
a general trend of immediate suspicion
by "the group" if one of it's members
"overwhelmingly" seeks to prove his
loyalty with his lungs.
We cannot agree with some, that
the superpatriot is to be suspected. At
the same time we are repulsed by the
angry young pseudo-scholars who pop­ulate
the stands—fifth in one hand,
noisemaker in the other.
School spirit is built in the bleach­ers
on Saturday afternoon, and in a
corner of the library on Sunday. It
is built with mutual sharing in concert
and lecture programs and, believe it or
not, the experience of attending the
popular entertainment committee's
show too.
"Rah" or no, Auburn has always
more than held her own spiritwise.
Our concern is that the "spirits" may
be getting the best of us.''' "
A Look At The Best Side
This weekend the "Loveliest Vil­lage"
will host the largest and most
distinguished group of journalists ever
to gather on the plains at once.
Auburn, one of eight institutions
selected nationally for a tour by the
nation's top educational writers and
editors, will attempt to show the group
just how our educational developments
stack up with those in the state, the
nation and the world.
The national publication and wire
service journalists will be on campus
from 5 p.m. Sunday until 2 p.m. Mon­day.
They will, more likely than not,
solicit student comments on every­thing
from Auburn's academic atmos­phere
to who will win the Auburn-
Alabama football game.
They're not coming to interrogate.'
The tour is designed to provide them
with a thumbnail sketch of the real
Auburn in record time.
We urge students to cooperate fully
with the visiting journalists should
they seek your comment.
We are honored that Auburn was
selected for the tour and heartily wel­come
the education writers.
Coming Out Of The Woods
Once again the Interfraternity
Council is rising to a call for action.
This time unnecessary pledge harrass-ment
in connection with Hell Week is
the thorn in their side.
They have recognized that contrary
to the idea of "cutting out somebody's
fun" (if physical harrassment could be
reduced to so light a term) is not the
question. The real issue is interference
of fraternity pranks and pre-initiation
pageantry with classwork, class attend­ance
and physical well being of the
pledges concerned.
The Interfraternity Council is not
the only group frowning upon inter­ference
with academic pursuits. It
doesn't seem that the NIC is anxious to
see the monkeyshines by their local
chapters either.
We ask, what, in terms of health,
time, grades and boys, does excessive
harrassment prove?
We think local fraternities both in­dividually
and through the IFC have
more than lived up to their responsi­bilities
to themselves and the univer­sity
in recent years. We hope they see
fit to eliminate this disturbance before
it has a chance to grow into a problem.
History Book Makes A Little
Early last week a colorful book
written by an Auburn professor rolled
off the presses. It is nicely bound and
thick enough to make more than one
student raise an eyebrow at the
thought of having to digest its contents
but, more than that, it's a history book
which in itself makes history.
It is the only book in existence
which tells the factual story of Ala­bama.
Difficult to believe is the fact that
until this week, no library anywhere
contained a work with a current
information on Alabama's resources,
government, population, educational
system, waterways or industries. Dr.
Jesse M .Richardson, professor of eco­nomics
and business administration,
realized the void and embarked upon
the task of filling it.
The condensed and practical look at
Alabama is more than a much-needed
school reference book. It is a humani­tarian
effort to preserve a little of the
past while whetting the appetite of in­dustrialists
and businessmen who
might be in the market to locate or re­locate
here.
The Alabama Encylopedia Dr. Rich­ardson
says, is a move to bring about
"an informed citizenry." This, he con­tinues,
"is the greatest strength of any
state or country . . . The first step
toward their full development and uti­lization
(of natural and human resour­ces)
is an awareness of their existence,
their present status, and their poten­tial."
Alabamians owe Dr. Richardson a
word of gratitude for his outstanding
contribution to the literature of the
state.
Academic Excellence . . ~
Teacher Evaluation
Could Improve Quality
By Sansing Smith
Thanks to the efforts of a hard-working
senate committee, Auburn is now joining the
ranks of many other American colleges that have a teacher
evaluation system. At the end of this quarter, carefully composed
questionnaires will be given out to students of all professors
who agree to conduct this evaluation.
All over the nation the sys­tem
has proved its worth—both
by giving constructive criticism
to the professor, and by giving
students a chance to express
their opinion of the most pro­fitable
type of education.
Teacher evaluation by stu­dents
is an established system
at Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech,
University of Florida, Harvard,
University of Wyoming, Uni­versity
of Oregon, and many
others.
The polls are taken very
seriously in Oregon — $250,000
worth of seriousness. The state
legislature recently voted a
quarter of a million dollars to
be used as bonus prizes to pro­fessors
who rank highest on
students' evaluations. Educa­tors
and lawmakers alike are
becoming increasingly aware of
what students want.
On campuses such as Har­vard's
where results of the poll
are published, professors are
among the first to buy the rat­ing
booklets. A low rating
might mean an empty class­room.
It keeps the professors
on their toes, thereby encourag­ing
a higher quality of educa­tion.
The system devised for Au­burn
is still in its infancy and
of course does not go to the
extent of financial awards or
published results. Under the
present plan, the only person
ever to see the evaluations of a
class will be the professor him­self.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Police Answer
Students' Charges
Eiditor, The Plainsman:
-. Normally we do not answer
letters' such as the one by the
three Auburn students in last
week's Plainsman charging
"antiquated" speed laws and
unfair treatment of students by
the Police Department. How­ever,
points are raised which
are of importance to the whole
student body.
In the first place, we are sur­prised
that anyone would think
the Auburn Police Department
prejudiced against students. We
have tended to be especially
lenient with students, and ' we
are sure that the student body
as a whole considers us so.
Several of us have been stu­dents
at Auburn, and two of
us are now students. We try
to be as understanding as possi­ble,
but we cannot be derelect
in our duty.
In borderline cases and in
cases where the driver has
sincerely made a mistake, we
usually issue only a warning.
But in cases such as the ones
which prompted the three stu­dents
to write the letter, we
cannot turn our backs.
For instance, two of these
boys were caught racing side by
side down the Opelika highway
at speeds in excess of 65 m.p.h.
in a 40 m.p.h. zone. Interest­ingly,
the arresting officer
picked them up at the same
point that two young boys
were killed last month, and a
three-car pileup occurred just
last Friday.
The -other boy was stopped
going 40 m.p.h. in a school
zone, five minutes after school
had let out. The speed limit in
school zones with children
present is 15 m.p.h. We wonder
if this young man has ever
seen a child hit by a car going
40 m.p.h.
With the tremendous influx
of cars this fall and the result­ing
likelihood of accidents, a
jsSOTPW^WT^
stringent traffic crackdown has
become necessary. This is par­ticularly
true of speeding. We
have received numerous com­plaints
of excessive speed,
especially from the outlying
areas.
The Auburn police depart­ment
does not want to arrest
or fine anyone, but we must
and will vigorously enforce the
law. We urge students to start
for class a little earlier or to
chance being a little late. Tt
is better to be a little late than
to take chances with your life
and the lives of others.

Culture Gap
Closes On Smith
Editor, The Plainsman
After reading Miss Smith's
column on the cultural gap at
Auburn University, I feel that
I must speak out in behalf of
the Student Government Enter­tainment
Committee as well as
the students of Auburn. Miss
Smith apparently is not in­formed
on the overall structure
of the entertainment presented
by the Student Government,
nor has she seemingly taken
the interest to find out.
Miss Smith failed to inform
her readers that the Lecture
and Concert Series is allocated
$15,000.00 a year for presenta­tions,
as compared to $6,500.00
for the Popular Entertainment
sponsored by the Entertainment
Committee. During Fall Quar­ter
alone, the Lecture and Con­cert
Series has sponsored such
"cultural" entertainment as:
Jose Molina's Bailes Espanoles;
Daniel Schorr; and the Bir­mingham
Symphony. Surely
Miss Smith, the Auburn Stu­dent
who desires the* finer
things in cultural entertain­ment
does not have to travel
to Tuskegee to find them.
William Parker

could be many and great—but
then, it could also be misused.
Therefore, the evaluation pro­gram
places a responsibility on
both the students and the pro­fessors.
A student should not be im­mature
and small-minded when
he fills out the evaluation form.
Even though he remains a-nonymous,
he should not use
the opportunity to seek revenge
for a personal gripe or poor
grade. Nor should he try to use
the evaluation to "apple polish."
Instead, he should give sincere,
constructive criticism.
The professor, too, has a re­sponsibility.
He should learn
to recognize the bitter revenge
seeker and not take such critic­ism
to heart, but then too, he
should not pass over all ad­verse
criticism as bitterness.
He should not become preju­diced
against a class by un­favorable
evaluations, and he
should take praise by continu­ing
these virtues.
The senate committee and its
faculty advisors have done
their best to devise a helpful
program. The rest is left up
to the professor to consent to
conducting the evaluation in
his classes, and to the students
to be fair, helpful, and mature
in what they say.
It would take only about five
minutes to complete the form,
but it could have a valuable
effect on the education of many
students for many years to
come.

A Vital Weakness . . .
Electrical Power Failure
Gives Us A Warning
By Jana Howard
Darkness has always frightened people.
But since Edison, we have only occasionally
had to worry about it. Usually those occasions, were almost a
treat. Reading by candlelight has a kind of Abraham Lincoln-type
romance about it.
But Tuesday night was different. Approximately one sixth
of the nation was paralyzed
when power failure struck in a
network which serves the en­tire
northeastern portion of the
United States, and parts of
Canada.
New York's Great White
Way was black as death except
for the headlights of traffic
stalled for miles. Thousands
were stranded in subways and
elevators for more than five
hours, and a number equaling
the population of Spain was
without heat and light. Candles
gleamed in skyscraper win­dows
and workers who got
home made it on foot while jet
airliners circled above airports
for hours.
Hysteria might have pre­vailed.
But surprisingly, the
Northeasterners took it calmly.
Volunteer policemen directed
traffic with flashlights. There
was practically no looting, no
panic, and apparently, no
deaths at all.
But the fact that the United
States avoided a catastrophe
through the good sense of its
people does not excuse what
might easily have been.
The break occurred in the
vast CANUSE (Canadian-US.-
Eastern) electrical power in­terchange,
which serves parts
of New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Massa­chusetts,
New York, New
Jersey, Vermont, and Pennsyl­vania,
along with parts of On­tario,
C a n a d a . Emergency
switching equipment, which
would have cut the areas off
the interchange and on to
power sources from other reg­ions,
failed to work, and power
failure spread like an epidemic.
Power officials maintain that
a chain of events, all by
chance, triggered the breaK.
Nothing points to sabotage, they
have concluded.
But the fact remains that
sabotage would have caused
the same results. Whenever

Of course, there is much
merit to trie idea of complexes

By Acting First
South Can, Should
End Federal Intervention
By Diane Snoddy
We citizens of Alabama have once again
furthered the cause of civil rights legislation
on a federal level as was evidenced Saturday by the U.S. Civil
Rights Commission's request that the coercion of civil rights
workers be outlawed by the federal government.
In its report to the President the federal commission asked that
more registration examiners be
Where there's a will, there's a way
sent South and that federal
courts be allowed to intervene-in
cases where local and state
courts or enforcement agencies
fail to render justice and pro­tection
to civil rights workers.
Although Alabama was not
the only state found guilty of
injustice by the commission's
investigations, the best-known
and most obvious examples of
"segregated justice" came from
our state's records over the last
year. The famed "Liuzzo" and
"Hayneville" trials are without
doubt high on the list of griev­ances
prompting the commis­sions
request for further legis­lation.
At first glance it would seem
that Martin Luther King owes
George Corley Wallace another
vote of thanks for his help in
producing civil right legislation.
But that would be giving too
much credit to the already well-credited
governor of our state.
However, neither can we place
credit with civil rights workers;
doubtless, none of them asked
to be immolated, beaten or
otherwise abused.
The true propagator of this
proposed legislation is lax atti­tudes
of individual citizens to­ward
law enforcement and
justice.
The reasons for pointing an
accusing finger at fellow Ala­bamians
become less abstruse
in light of the results of anoth­er
investigation included in the
Civil Rights Commission's re­port.
The commission singled out
Greeneville, Miss., in maintain­ing
the view that "where local
citizens have insisted upon fair
and effective law enforcement,
violence has been averted and
The American Way?
Continued Chaos
Is Not Justified,
Impedes Progress
By Bruce Nichols
A nation which has been
given a New Deal, a Fair Deal,
a Square Deal, has crossed the
New Frontier, is in the midst
of building a Great Society, has
an average family income of
$6897 per year, has a new piece
of legislation meeting the de-m
a n d s of
nearly every
m i n o r ity
group, a nd
which is so
w e l l - fed
that three-fifths
of its
wheat farm­e
r s g r ow
g r a i n for
e x p o r t ,
would be ex­pected
to be
enjoying a golden age of do­mestic
tranquility.
At least, one would expect
the United States to be less
torn by mass protest than in
past years when poor working
conditions, ridiculously low
wages, economic depression and
oppressions, and general indif­ference
to racial discrimination
were universal and provided at
least a reasonable explanation
for riots and demonstrations.
However r o w d y placard
carrying demonstrators are as
common as ever. For example,
a civil rights leader in an ad­dress
before the Atlanta Press
Club last week promised further
mass demonstrations and possi­bly
another Selma-Montgom-ery
type march to protest "Seg­regated
justice." People such
as these are excused for their
riotous misbehavior because
they are economically oppress­ed
or because they are stu­dents
whose desires and ideas
have been ignored.
Chaos is the order of the
day. Everyone who is dissatis­fied
with the "limitations" on
his free speech, the require­ment
that he fulfill his military
pibhgatjiqn, or the state of his
ciyil rights hastens to demon-oilatflool
In an age of television, tele­phones,
radios, and communi­cations
satellites, it appears
that the only place Americans
can express themselves is in
the street, in a mob, carrying
a placard which does all the
talking.
The findings of a recent
Gallup poll would indicate that
American citizens have lost in­terest
in their most direct voice
in national affairs, their con­gressman.
When asked the
name of their congressman, 57
per cent of those questioned |
were unable to answer. Did
they know when he comes up
for election? 70 per cent did
not. Over 80 per cent were |
unable to recall their represen­tative's
stand on a single major
issue.
Many have apparently a-bandoned
the orderly processes I
of influencing government poli­cies
and actions for the dis­orderly
but more dramatic mass |
protest. It is easier that way;
few are required to do any
serious thinking and few are
held particularly responsible |
for the ideas promoted.
Admittedly, social injustice I
is still with us, but general neg­lect
is not. With the Civil
Rights Act, the Voting Rights |
Act, the Anti-Poverty War,
Medicare, and other related I
programs, giant steps have |
been taken in an effort to "bet­ter
the quality of American I
living." Continued chaos will |
not provide an atmosphere con­ducive
to -far-sighted, careful­ly
reasoned action and there-1

feel oppressed would do well to I

time for order.

It's hard to believe that the |
residents of Greenville, Missis­sippi
are any less opposed to |
civil rights work than Ala-bamains
are. And it's also dif­ficult
to believe that those peo­ple
are any smarter than a |
comparable sample of Ala­bamians
are. And it's also dif-looks

Although it's been said many I

Encyclopedia
By Professor
The "Alabama Encyclo­pedia,"
compiled and edited by
Dr. Jesse M. Richardson, Au­burn
professor of economics
and business administration,
has received the commendation
of Gov. George C. Wallace, up­on
receiving one of the first
copies of the publication this
week.
The up-to-date reference
book, published by the Ameri­can
Southern Publishing Com­pany
of Northport, contains
over 1,000 pages of geographic,
historical, and industrial infor­mation,
and educational and
governmental directories.
"Alabama Encyclopedia" is
a revised and expanded version
of an earlier book by Dr. Rich­ardson,
"Alabama Almanac and
Book of Facts," published in
1955. According to Dr. Rich­ardson,
his book contains the
latest available information on
a wide range of subjects in as
condensed and usable form as
is practical.
The book retails for $10 and
will be distributed through
special sales representatives of
the publishing company and
by regular dealers. Future re­visions
are planned to keep the
reference material up to date,
according to the editor and
publishers.
New Exchanges
Being Added
Two new telephone exchanges
are being added to the city
phone service as part of the
new Centrex dialing system,
according to Walter S. Sechriest
of Southern Bell.
The new system will make it
possible to place on-and-off
campus calls from any tele­phone
without having to go
through the university switch­board.
The two exchanges are 821
and 826. The Telephone Com­pany
will begin Monday assign­ing
numbers in the 821 ex­change
to all new telephone
subscribers.
The 826 prefix will be as­signed
to University numbers
beginning next Sept. 1 when
Centrex is in full operation. All
numbers that have the present
887 exchange will remain un­changed
.
Additional equipment is re­quired
for the new exchanges.
Facilities for the 821 exchange
have already been added to the
present telephone building. The
university's exchange cannot be
added until an addition to the
building is completed next fall.

War Eagle Girls Lead Students
In Columbus Veterans Day Parade
By RON CASTIIXE
Seventy sign-carrying Auburn students led by Auburn's
War Eagle Girls were warmly received as they marched in a
Veteran's Day Parade in Columbus, Ga., to demonstrate that
they were solidly behind the Vietnam War effort.
The occaision for the march
by the students was Columbus'
annual Veteran's Day Parade
sponsored by the Columbus
Post of the American Legion in
which over 3,500 people par­ticipated
to show that they
backed up the parade's theme,
the support of the United
State's policy on Vietnam.
The march was initiated by
the Student Government As­sociation
with the approval of
the • administration. Campus
Drives Chairman Jim Rotch
and student senator Ron Ca-stille
organized the marchers
and Dean's Excuses were is­sued
for all who participated.
The marchers, many carry­ing
signs and banners, were
greeted with ripples of ap­plause
and shouts of 'War
Eagle' by the more than 17,000
bystanders witnessing the pa­rade.
Rotch declared the turnout
"good" and that the marchers

Bonn Expert Warns The US
Not To Ignore Communists
By BRUCE GILLII AM)
"In an affluent society, it is easy to ignore what the Com­munists
are doing. We must become aware of the advances
being made. Only then will we be able to combat Communism.''
With these words, Dr. Peter
Friedheim, Manager of the
Farmer's Association of West
Berlin, explained the reason for
his mission to the United States.
Sponsored by the West German
government, Dr. Friedheim
spoke Monday night at Auburn
through the cooperation of the
School of Agriculture. His
topic was "The Role of Agri­culture
in'Communism."
In an interview, Dr. Fried­heim
commented on the Com­munist
takeover in East Germ-a
n y and' 'the subsequent
changes that have occurred.
About the takeover, Dr. Fried­heim
said, "After the end of
World War II, no one could
foresee what would happen in
this part of Germany occup-pied
by the»Soviets. It took,
I think, about three or four
years until I could realize what
had happened.The Communist
regime denied any buildup, but
people would not dare to say,
'You want to build up Com­munism'."
In answer to a question about
the so-called trends in Com­munist
countries toward capi­talistic
policies in agriculture,
Dr. Friedheim made this state­ment.
"In the first years in
East Germany and Russia, too,
the Communists had to prefer
idealogical and political gcals.
It was necessary to susidize the
farmers because of the intro­duction
of new kinds Of enter­prises.
In other words', collec­tives
and state-farms without
private ownership."
"There is a marked increase
in private ownership and priv­ate
intiative, however. There
are many reasons for the Com­munists
in the Kremlin to try-to
increase production. For ex­ample,
it is no longer bearable
that they have to import wheat
from the U.S. and Canada."

He Went Over The Goal Line . . . He Just Didn't Have The Ball

COCHRAN ROCKS JENKINS
Linebacker John Cochran slams into Georgia fullback
Ronnie Jenkins a foot from the goal line.
By GERALD RUTBERG
All that linebacker-scholar John Cochran did
for the scrapping Auburn Tigers against Dooley's
heartbroken 'Dogs last Saturday was to provoke a
game-saving fumble, block an extra point attempt
and knock down a two-point conversion attempt.
In fact, all that the Crossville blockbuster did was to
save the Tiger's hides.
Rendering his most noteworthy effort near the end
of the contest, the 6-0, 200-pound bruiser separated Geor­gia
sophomore fullback Ronnie Jenkins from the football
just one foot shy of the Auburn goal line with just four
minutes remaining in the game.
"After I hit him (Jenkins), I looked and I thought he
was over the goal. The only thing was, he didn't have the
ball," Cochran recalled of his big play which brought
cheers from Auburn faithful and tears from 'Dog sup­porters.
In jarring the ball loose from Jenkins, who had scored
for Georgia in the second quarter and earlier in the fourth
period on line plunges of three and two yards respectively,
Cochran atoned for a first quarter miscue.
It had been Cochran's man, fleet Georgia halfback
Randy Wheeler, who had teamed up with Kirby Moore
for an SEC-record 92-yard pass play to paydirt in the
first quarter which narrowed the score to 7-6 with Auburn
out front.
Actually, the Scholastic All-America bidding senior
changed the complexion of the contest immediately after
his lone error, rushing in to block Bulldog Bobby Etter's
extra point attempt.
Of his first stellar feat of the game Cochran said, "I
didn't think I would have a chance to block one against
Georgia because I had gone through a similar hole against
Georgia Tech and Mississippi State. I just jumped through
a gap between Georgia's center and guard." It was only
the second PAT true-toed Etter had failed to convert this
season.
In the second,quarter Cochran knocked down a 'Dog
passing attempt for a two-point conversion following the
Athenians' second touchdown and provided Auburn with
what proved to be the eventual margin of victory.
Savoring a well-earned Monday and Tuesday practice
respite, Cochran said he and his rampaging gridiron
counterparts were not thinking of post-season bowls.
"We've got to play in the 'Iron Bowl' first. That's what
the Alabama game is gonna be. It's going to be a long
afternoon, but we can whip them."
Saturday's Georgia performance makes you wonder
what John has planned for the Tide. It should be quite
an encore.
The Bowl Picture . . .
As things stand now, two Southeastern Conference teams
have post season ball games scheduled. The Orange Bowl
people claim to have Alabama as one member of its New Years
evening combination and Florida is reported to be in the
Sugar Bowl lineup. For what it is worth, another Tiger foe,
Georgia Tech, is planning on appearing in the Gator Bowl
after the close of the regular season.
Despite a 5-3-1 record, the Tigers are still being mentioned
in connection with the Cotton, Bluebonnet, Liberty and Sun
Bowls. With the SEC crown resting on the winner of next
week's Auburn-Alabama game, Auburn is very much in the
running for these open spots. If the Plainsmen emerge from
the contest as SEC champs, the Cotton Bowl people would be
more than pleased to extend Coach Ralph Jordan's squad an
invitation for New Years day play. The Southwestern Con­ference
champions versus the Southeastern Conference champ­ions
would make quite a drawing card.
Notice if you would, that there are not too many teams with
super records playing major college football this season. Notre
Dame is the only team left with a good record that has not
been invited to a bowl and that is because the Irish refuse to
participate in post season play. Tennessee, who had been
mentioned previously in the bowl picture not only lost to Missis­sippi
Saturday, but they also lost most of their offensive strength
when quarterback Charlie Fulton was lost for an indefinite
period of time. Kentucky knocked themselves out of conten­tion
when Houston's Cougars upset the Wildcats 38-21. Who's
left?
Bowden Can Play
In the event that the Tigers do put in an appearance in one
of the post season affairs, fifth year man Alex Bowden will
be eligible to play in the contest. We remember that Mailon
Kent was ineligible in the 1963 Orange Bowl contest against
Nebraska. We asked Athletic Director Jeff Beard what the
situation would be this year and he took time to explain the
situation to us.
This situation doesn't apply to Bowden because the lanky 22

Baby Tide, Tiger Gibs Tangle Here
In Preliminary To "Big One"
By DAVID HOUSEL
The Auburn and Alabama freshman footballs are in
the spotlight Saturday as their varsity counterparts take
the week off to prepare for the BIG game in Birming­ham
on November 27th. The Tiger and Crimson Tide
freshmen meet in Cliff Hare Stadium Saturday at 1:30
to decide the freshman cham­pionship
of Alabama.
Even though the Baby Tigers
(1-2) are at home, they will
have a tough time with the
Crimson Tide frosh (2-1). The
Crimson Ripple has beaten Ole
Miss and Tennessee convinc­ingly
while losing a close game
to Mississippi State. Auburn
has lost to Florida and Georgia
but beat Mississippi State in
their last outing.
OPENED WITH LOSS
The Crimson Tide frosh open­ed
their season losing to State
7-6. Even though the Alabama
boys lost the game, they held
State to only two first downs
after the Bullpups touchdown
in the second period. The Crim­son
Tide frosh drove up and
down the field, but could only
cross the goal line once. Statis­tically,
Alabama had over 340
yards offense to State's 171.
Bouncing back from their
opening loss, Alabama ripped
Ole Miss 27-14 at Tuscaloosa.
The Crimson Tide was in firm
control throughout the game.
Playing like Coach Paul
Bryant's varsity, the Baby Tide
rolled over Tennessee's fresh­men
team 19-8 last week. Ala­bama

Tennessee mistakes for the win,

FUMBLE! AND AUBURN MAKES A BREAK

Bryan, Bowden, Bobble
Doom Dooley's 'Doggies
By Bob Tom Snellgrove
Auburn's Tigers edged
nearer t h e Southeastern
Conference crown by vir­tue
of Tom Bryan's run­ning,
Alex Bowden's pass­ing,
and a crucial fumble in
winning over the Univer­sity
of Georgia Bulldogs
21-19.
A predicated defensive battle
turned into a suspenseful of­fensive
display until. Georgia
fumbled on the Auburn one
yard line late in the game. Au­burn
then settled down to ride
out the clock for its third
straight victory over the Bull­dogs.
GRABBED LEAD
Auburn lost no time in tak­ing
the lead, going 60 yards the
first time they had the ball to
score. After Carl Hardy open­ed
with nine yards, Bryan fol­lowed
with a three yard gain,
and Bowden kept for six more
down to the Georgia 42.
Converted quarterback Bryan
then covered the remaining
yards in fine fashion as he shed
off three Georgia tacklers and
raced the Georgia secondary for
the score. Don Lewis' extra
point attempt was good. Au­burn
led 7-0 with only three
and a half minutes gone in the
game.
Following a 57 yard quick
kick by Moore to open the sec­ond
quarter, Bowden hit end
Danny Fulford for 40 yards to
the Georgia 27 yard line. Bow­den
then kept for seven, hand­ed
to Bryan for five, and then
dropped back to hit Scotty
Long for the score.
Lewis was again between the
uprights with his kick and Au­burn
led 14-7.
Georgia's sophomore quarter­back
Kirby Moore then led
Georgia to its first score.
Big John Cochran burst
through to block the extra point
attempt, and hold Auburn's
lead.
GEORGIA STRIKES
Georgia later struck with
lightning quickness. Doug Mc-
Falls stopped an Auburn drive
with an interception to put
Georgia in business at their
own four.
Moore then came on the scene
and tossed a Southeastern Con­ference
record scoring pass of
92 yards to Randy Wheeler.
Gathering the ball in on the
Auburn 45,
Georgia elected to go for two
in an attempt to tie the score.
However, Cochran was again
there to break up the extra
point attempt, as he knocked
down a pass in the end zone.
TIGERS SCORE
Auburn came back from in­termission
to score after only
six minutes of the second half

Terrifically explosive runs
by Bryan of 26 and 23 yards

Vols Lose Fulton, Game;
Bowls Eyed By Six Teams
By EDWIN TEW
If a team builds its of­fense
a l m o s t exclusively
around one football player,
what happens if it loses
that player?
Auburn knows, because they
remember the injury to Jimmy
Sidle a year ago. LSU knows,
because the loss of, Nelson
Stokely several weeks ago was
disastrous to the Bengal Tigers'
offense.
Now, Tennessee knows.
The Vols' outstanding sopho­more
quarterback, Charlie Ful­ton,
injured an ankle on the
first play against Ole Miss, and
had to leave the game. The
Tennessee offense left with
him, and the Rebels won 14-13.
The previously undefeated
Volnteers were able to mount
only one sustained drive dur­ing
the game, and had it not

been f o r sophomore tailback
Walter Chadwick, Tennessee
might not have scored at all.
Chadwick churned out 115
yards rushing and one touch­down
in 13 carries.
The defeat not only knocked
Tennessee from the ranks of
the undefeated, but put them
out of the running for the SEC
Championship a n d dimmed
their bowl hopes as well.
Although no official accept­ance
can be announced until
November 20, two SEC teams
are reportedly entrenched in
major bowls against Big Eight
opponents. Alabama takes on
Nebraska in the Orange Bowl,
and Florida hosts Missouri in
the Sugar Bowl, both on Jan­uary
1st.
Other conference teams are
eyeing bowls hopefully.
The Cotton Bowl is seeking
an opponent to meet the win­ner
of this Saturday's Texas
Tech-Arkansas game, and five
SEC teams are listed as possi­bilities.
Auburn, LSU and Ten­nessee
are the top choices, but
Kentucky and Florida are also
u n d e r consideration, even
though Florida reportedly has
a bid to the Sugar Bowl.-
Neither team has yet been
selected for either the Blue-bonnet
or the Sun Bowl, while
the Gator Bowl needs an op­ponent
for Georgia Tech and
the Liberty Bowl is seeking op­position
for host team Memphis
State. Southeastern Conference
teams are reportedly being con­sidered
for all of these except
the Gator Bowl.
Kentucky's Rick Norton mov­ed
within two yards of the SEC
record for yards gained pass­ing
in one season by completing
19 of 35 passes for 373 yards
against Houston. The existing
record, held by Zeke Bratkow-ski
of Georgia, is 1,825 yards.
The Kentucky quarterback
has one game remaining in
which to break the record.
Steve Spurrier is within reach
of the conference total offense
mark, but the Florid^ junior
will have to gain 480'yards in
his two remaining games. Spur­rier
piled up 259 yards as the
'Gators romped on Tulane 51-
13 to run his total to 1,708
yards.

Third Place
In SEC Meet
When is 85 points not enough
to win an athletic contest?
Answer: when two other
teams have 15 and 70 points
respectively — and low score
wins.
This is the situation Auburn's
cross-country team found them­selves
in Monday in the SEC
championship run held in Bir­mingham.
But things could have been
worse. Three other teams scor­ed
105, 122 and 126 points.
In case you're wondering
who were the "other" teams
they were, in order of finish,
Tennessee, Mississippi State,
Alabama, Florida and Ken­tucky.
For those of you who don't
understand the intricacies of
scoring a cross-country meet,
each team is awarded points on
the basis of how their first five
runners finish, one, two, three,
etc. And if you have the top
five, finishers you get 15, which
is just what Tennessee had,
thus making them the first
team to have a perfect score
since 1937.
First Auburn runner to cross
the finish line was Glenn Mc-
Waters, who finished 12th in
the field of 55. He was followed
by Dan Storey, Bob Vickery,
Dixie Foster, Gator Williams,
David Bruce and Larry Lee.
"We knew the Vols were
tough," (a slight understate­ment,
especially considering
that their No. 1 man, Bob Red-dington
ran the four mile
course in 19:14.6) said coach
Mel Rosen, "but we thought
maybe we could nip Mississippi
State."
In the three mile freshman
run, Auburn's Vic Kelley plac­ed
third in 14:52. Kelley was
injured early in the quarter
and has only been back in
training for two weeks.
The Tigers go against Geor­gia
Tech Friday on the Auburn
course. , „

Unfortunately, he apears to be so far off the pace that nothing short of total
disaster will hoist him out of the cellar. G uest Bunny Spratling managed to top his
counterpart on the Plainsman staff and even tied sports editor Mussig with 10 right.

year old is still working en his undergraduate degree. Since
the surging Tigers could find themselves in a bowl somewhere,
this might be a big factor. In 1963, few, if any people, outside
the Auburn camp knew the true situation. Undoubtedly people
would be inquiring into the problem this time around.
It seems that Kent had graduated in June of 1963 and was
working on his masters during his fifth season. He couldn't
appear in the Orange Bowl because of the fact that he had
already graduated. A man may play his fifth year after gradu­ation,
but he may not extend into another calander year to
finish out that elegibility. Since the Orange Bowl was played
on Jan. 1, the second string quarterback was technically ex­cluded
from the ball game.
Finishing Strong
We remember last season watching the Tigers finish strong
after making a surprising backfield switch. Tom Bryan, who
figures in this season's big improvement, was finally given the
nod as the regular quarterback after he and Joe Campbell
shared the duties vacated by Jimmy Sidle with an injured
shoulder. Tucker Frederickson slid into the fullback slot and
Jimmy Sidle moved to tailback where the Plainsmen could take
advantage of his still potent running ability. This lineup dumped
Mississippi State 12-3, overcame Georgia 14-7, and almost pulled
the upset of the season against Alabama. The Tide eked out
a 21-14 victory via three Tiger miscues.
This season, Tom Bryan has been moved into the troublesome
fullback position and Alex Bowden has stolen possession of the
quarterback slot. Bryan ground out 162 yards against the
Bulldogs while Bowden had 53 yards rushing and 86 passing
for a credible 139 yards total offense. Sticky-fingered Carl
Hardy, a non-lettered junior is playing a lot of flanker back
while Hank Hall, a Miami Southwest product, and Richard
Plagge, from nearby Columbus, are effectively alternating at
tailback.
This is Jaguar for men. After-shave and cologne com­bined.
Women like it. Because it doesn't smell like the
stuff they wear. Men like it. Because it comeson stronger.
Stays on longer. Jaguar is lusty. Powerful. Potent. It's
bottled in a stark, strong, smoky-glass cylinder. It's only
for the man who gets a bang out of living, a charge
out of leading-who plays to win, whatever the game.

moved to their own 47 before
being forced to punt by the

Lunceford's boot was field­ed
at the Georgia 16 on a fair
catch call.
Georgia then began a drive
which ended in a heartbreaking
fumble on the Auburn one yard
line.
GEORGIA FUMBLE
It was then that the Georgia
heartbreaker occurred. Jenkins
took a hand-off and plunged
into the Auburn line only to
fumble. Robert Fulghum re­covered
and Auburn held.
Auburn gained a total of 277
yards rushing for the day,
mostly gained through the ef­forts
of Bryan, Bowden, and
Plagge and the fine blocking of
the offensive line.
Bryan, playing his first full
game at fullback, ran for a total
of 162 yards in 19 carries. Bow­den
kept for 53 yards on 16
attempts. Plagge amassed 48
yards on seven runs.

If nothing interests you as much
as research and development...
consider the advantages of a career
in the laboratories of the
David Taylor Model Basin
rHOTOORAPH BY RICHARD O. MOWREY, COURTESY UNITED HATES KM
The David Taylor Mode! Basin, one of the oldest government
laboratories, has grown steadily in size and responsibility and
is now concerned with design concepts for aircraft and
missiles, as well as with surface ships and submarines. Its five
major laboratories conduct basic, applied, and developmental
research in these fields:
HYDRODYNAMICS-Hydrofoil craft, interface vehicles, novel
ship types, fluid dynamics, high-speed phenomena.
AERODYNAMICS—Aircushion vehicles, weapon release
problems, V/ST0L aircraft, aircraft performance.
STRUCTURAL MECHANICS-Submarine and surface ship
structures, effects of underwater and surface explosions, ship
and personnel protection, deep-sea research vehicles.
APPLIED MATHEMATICS-Computer-aided ship and sys­tem
design, automated data processing, numerical techniques,
management data analysis.
ACOUSTICS AND VIBRATION-Radiated, near-field, self
and hydrodynamic noise, countermeasures, silencing devices,
noise transmission.
An engineering or scientific career at the David Taylor Model
Basin offers you many advantages:
1. Because of the mission of the Model Basin, you can be sure
that you will be engaged in research, development, test and
evaluation not as a bystander, but as an active and increasingly
important participant. Whatever your discipline, you will have
the opportunity to apply it to one of the important projects in
which the Model Basin is engaged.
2. You will have the satisfaction and excitement of working
on projects that advance the state of the art and are of national
and international importance.
3. Working with you will be men whose engineering and sci­entific
achievements have earned them wide reputations in
their fields. Your contact with them will be of immeasurable
value in your own development as a professional engineer or
scientist.
4. You will work in a campus-like environment with 186 acres
of laboratories and supporting facilities with millions of dollars
worth of equipment. For instance, the Hydromechanics Lab­oratory
has a Towing Basin 3/5 of a mile long, 50 feet wide,
and 20 feet deep; a Maneuvering Basin that covers 5 acres.
The Applied Mathematics Laboratory uses four high-speed
digital computers to solve engineering and logistic problems.
The ultra-high-speed UNIVAC LARC performs250,000 compu­tations
per second. The Aerodynamics Laboratory is equipped
with nine wind tunnels, subsonic, transonic, supersonic, hy­personic,
for the testing of aircraft, missile and airborne com­ponent
models. Ten pressure tanks, and tensile and compres­sive
load testing machines are among the devices used by the
Structural Mechanics Laboratory in research on hull structures
for ships, deep-diving submarines and deep-sea research
vehicles. Mechanical generators in the Acoustics and Vibra­tion
Laboratory can produce known forces in structures rang­ing
from small items of machinery to complete ships.
5. The management of the Model Basin is interested in your
professional development. It provides you with the oppor­tunity
to receive financial assistance and time (up to 8 hours a
week) to attend classes at one of the six major universities in
the immediate area, which offer courses in virtually every
field. In addition, a number of graduate Courses are conducted
at the Model Basin. Under a new program, several employees
are now engaged in full or 3A -time advanced academic study
and receiving full salary as well as all their expenses.
6. At the David Taylor Model Basin, you can reach the
$10,000 to $12,000 level within four years. In addition, as a
Civil Service employee, you get generous vacations and sick
leave, inexpensive life and health insurance, and enjoy the
benefits of an unusually liberal retirement program.
7. Within minutes of the Model Basin are the suburbs of
Maryland and Virginia offering excellent living conditions, un­usual
recreational facilities, and some of the best public school
systems in the country. Because the Washington area is a cen­ter
for scientific research as well as for government, it boasts a
large concentration of people of intellectual and cultural attain­ments.
Washington, D. C, with its museums, art galleries,
libraries and points of historical interest is just 12 miles from
the Model Basin.
For more information about the David Taylor Model Basin and
the opportunity it offers you, see the interviewer who visits
your campus or write directly to Mr. S. DiMaria, Head, Office
of Civilian Personnel.
The David
