This includes a proposed wing on the location of Alumni Gym to be built after completion of the new physical education complex. Due to conflicting interests of various groups now utilizing the existing space, the Board wants to hear other suggestions before submitting final recommendations. "We would welcome and urge all interested parties to be there and make known their views and needs," said James E. Foy. dean of student affairs and Union Board chairman. "This is for individual students as well as for university sponsored organizations," he continued.

Under the present system, all women students living in university dormitories are required to buy the three-meal ticket. ALLOW SAVINGS The AWS spokesman said that the "five-three" plan seemed reasonable since "such a program would allow savings for women who don't eat three meals every day or stay on campus during the weekend." The proposal will be presented by Frances Tully, president of AWS, and Corinne Ham, pr e si dent-elect. "Dean Cater has been behind our ef-for ts one hundred per cent. She has been most helpful in our drive to improve conditions in the women's dining halls," said Miss Tully. The request states," numerous students have asked that there be alternate programs set up under which a student may choose the type meal ticket she wishes to buy." Presentation of the request will culminate nearly a full quarters study of the meal ticket problem initiated at the request of the AWS president. The association expressed hope that the Board of Turs-tees will give the matter prompt attention at their next meeting. Committee To Study Infirmary A committee to look into complaints about student health facilities has been appointed by Phil Hardee, student body president. "Complaints about Drake Infirmary have been increasing," Hardee said, "and we feel that suggestions for changes, from the students* viewpoint,should bepresented to President Philpott." Named to the committee were Jerry Brown, Kay Ivey, jean Ford and Ron Mussig. Dr. Morgan W. Brown, head of Drake Infirmary, could not be reached for comment. Alabama's New Governor Addresses Auburn Banquet Gov. Lurleen Wallace made her first in-state major speech at the annual Aubum Chamber banquet Tuesday night, urging the importance of the free enterprise system and continued efforts in education. She emphasized the importance of free enterprise, private property ownership , and individual freedom. "We are convinced, she said, "that the principles of our American founding fathers are ageless and we believe the other states are behind us in our free en tern rise." "Alabama as a state and the South as a region are setting the pace of progress that that should be followed by every city and county," the chief executive said. In recent years, the Governor said, there has been a breakthrough and follow-through in education in Alabama." Gov. Wallace said that today shewouldtell the Alabama Legislature of plans for continuance of the largest highway program in the history of the state. She urged efforts for mutual co-operation of adjoining areas to solve mutual problems. "The problems of this area of Alabama," she said, "are just as perplexing to the people on the other side of theChat-tahoochee. Problems do not stop at state lines," she added. In referring to her recent visit to Partlow School in Auburn Coed A Puritan? Where The Girls Are, a social guide to college women in the USA, pokes fun at Auburn women by writing that they are "more suitable for church attendance than )arty attendance." The book, written by Peter Sandman and the staff of The Daily Princetonian, classifies coeds from colleges from all over the United States. "Almost all Aubum social affairs are organized, populous 'functions,' and college rules hold that no Tiger date can drink at any time in any place. Nor will she want to," The Princetonian continues, "since most Auburn women (in contrast with University of Alabama women) boast a Southern Puritan upbringing more suitable for church than party attendance." Where The Girls Are adds that the annual freshman Cake Race, "in which the current crop of fuzzy-cheeked uninitiates chase the speeding car of that loveliest of cheesecakes, Miss Auburn," is one of the most exciting events on the Auburn campus. "In his remaining three years," the book continues, "he may eat many more cakes, but the kiss could be his last." "Because Auburn women are predominately good-looking, even the leftovers are tasty," The Princetonian ventures to reveal. A final paragraph says that "what is most disturbing about Auburn is the fact that out of 12,500 students, no one is dissatisfied with it. social life, convential and inaccessible as it may be. "Perhaps this is because Auburn is best known for its raucous school spirit, ahold-over from high school that is taken seriously by undergraduates, and a warm reality that serves many as a substitute for a cold date." "In short," the book says about Auburn, "Miss Auburn's thank-you-kindly gesture is representative of a campus-wide social malaise: It is cold, clammy, probably mis-placed- and a once-in-a-life-time proposition at that." However, Auburn is not the only Southern school suffering from The Princetonian' s barbs. Of the University of Alabama women, they say the girls are "lovely belles that float about the campus like lilies on a stagnant pond." "The casual visitor," it continues, "stands a chance only if he can pretend he isn't a visitor. As usual in the South, the only way to get a date is to know someone. But even then your chances aren't good.'' "Primarily high school products from within the state, 'Bama girls soon develop strong proclivities either toward social life or toward getting married and getting out. The socialite is happy and grinning; the rest are just waking up to the fact that they went to Alabama because no other place would have them. "The syndrome goes even farther. If a prospective socialite doesn't make it with the right sorority, she is likely to wake up to the fact that she went to Alabama because no other place would have her." The Princetonian launches its final attack at the 'Bama belles saying, "If you're lucky enough to latch onto a suntanned Alabama coed, you'll find that she 'has fun where she can find it, "usually at frat parties unless something better comes along. If you're 'something better,' she'll be willing to forget about the fundamentalist morality that she is supposed to observe." Tuscaloosa, Mrs. Wallace said,' 'We owe to all the handicapped and afflicted the best we have in facilities and training, in order to restore them to useful and productive lives." Continued effort on the part of education is a must, she said. "No economy can prosper that fails to support the educational system that sustains it."

C-Gs Attack' Inspection Team By DAVID HOUSEL Assistant Managing Editor When the 2 o'clock bell rang Tuesday, 2,211 Army ROTG cadets breathed a sigh of relief. Federal Inspection was over. One of the highlights of the demonstration came when a mock ambush was staged on a vehicle carrying the inspecting officers and President Philpott. Col. C.B. Drennen, in charge of the inspecting team had high praise for the Counterguerrillas and the Auburn ROTC program as a whole. OUTSTANDING RATING "The cadets in rank were outstanding and the counter-guerrilla demonstration was most outstanding," said Col. Dennen, who is professor of Military Science at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. He also said that the cadets in rank were well organized and had special praise for their haircuts and shoes, two "musts" on the drill field. Colonel Robert B.Marshall, professor of military science here, said the inspection was "very rewarding for us. We got a good cross section of our program and the programs at the schools of the inspecting officers. We learned from their comments and they learned from our program." Marshall expressed his personal thanks to each member of the cadet brigade for the hard work that made the inspection a success. Captain F.D. Westmoreland is advisor to the counter-guerrillas here. Sfc. Charles Muscat is the non commissioned officer in charge of the unit. SURVIVAL TRAINING The Auburn counterguerilla unit was organized in June, 1962.

For 15 years Prof. Lawson has taken pictures of all his students because he isn't very good at remembering names/ But there are »5 tnose who believe there is more heart than mind involved in this project. Now a professor of mechanical engineering at Auburn, Prof. Lawson began his unique project while at the University of Florida, where he posted the pictures in his rollbook. After coming to Auburn in 1958, he began having enlargements made and hung on a wall, with the graduates of each quarter grouped together. OBJECTIVE PROJECT He Claims the project is an objective one, making it easier for him to learn the names of his students and recall them later when asked for recommendations. "Since my machine design course is required of all mechanical engineering graduate0 " he said, "that gives me quite a few names to learn." But his colleagues say that this project has a more personal motive because "Prof. Lawson would remember his students anytime, anywhere and under any conditions." GOOD MEMORY One of his co-workers remarked that "for a man who isn't good at remembering names, it's amazing how Prof. Lawson can remember things about students that most of us never knew." COVER UP Said another, "I think he is trying to cover up the fact that he thinks so much of his students that he really hates to give them up." Prof. Lawson makes no secret of his concern for his students, but he does veil it in a shroud of modesty. "I try to get to know my students pretty well while they are in my class," he said. "My labs are usually rather informal and I give the students as much liberty as possible in carrying out their projects. BASIC PREPARATION "I like to think of my course as a basic preparation forwhen they get out on their own in industry. Because of that, I try to help them work out any particular problems they might have," he added. EXTRA HELP According to several of his students, some of this help goes far outside the classroom. Because of the unique relationship that exists, they say, students often go to Prof. Lawson with personal problems or to ask advice on their future careers. He has kept in touch with many of his former students and can point at various pictures in his gallery, citing where that student is now and what he is doing. NOT THE BEST He commented that the quality of the pictures is "not the best in the world" and that the students are all wearing school clothes. "I guess that's the way it should be," he mused. "I probably wouldn't know them if they were all slicked up." Or maybe that just wouldn't be the way he remembers them. 3-THE PLAINSMAN Thursday, March 2, 1967" 'ABSENT-MINDED' PROFESSOR STANLEY LAWSON Photo Gallery Of Students Surrounds Prof With Memories PRE-VET ASSOCIATION The Pre-Veterinary Medical Association here will meet next Monday at 7 p.m., in the lecture room of the Large Animal Clinic.

National Research Grant Used For Garbage Study A new research grant totaling nearly a quarter of a million dollars will finance experiments here designed to turn a national liability-costly garbage disposal-into a national asset. Announcement of the three-year, $212,830 grant from the Division of Enviornmental Health, U.S. Public Health Service, was made here today by President Philpott. He said the PHS notification allocates $110,290 for the first study year, with remaining funds to be available during second and third years. Details of the Agricultural Experiment Station project call for studies with pre-cessed garbage in efforts to find means of using resources contained in the waste material while eliminating a pollution problem, according to Dr. E.V.

As viewed by Dr. Sturkie, there is a large potential market for such materials if suitable for use as soilcon-tioners. It could be valuable for use in turf areas like lawns and golf courses, by the nursery industry and in areas devoted to ornamental plants, and for incorporating into raw areas of highway rights-of-way that are being beautified.

Good students, with high grade point averages, have been eager to speak against what seems to be "unfair" practices on the part of a few chemistry and physics professors. The main complaint is that some professors' attitudes hamper theirinstruc-tion. Both these fields can take a complex turn and almost any student can Suddenly become lost in a maze of technical jargon and theories. What a grofessor might take for granted could tyave a serious impact on the student's Ability to understand the subject matter" I Complaints began to increase shortly after mid-quarter when deficiencies were mailed. Good students, who Spend hours in the books, discovered Ihey were failing. One professor reported failings on more than three-fourths of his class. Accompanying |his reports, however, was a complaint :that most of the students didn't know ?where they stood, that he was vague, jyand that he refused to offer minimal jco-operation. » One administrator has backed up ?the complaining students. "Who is expected to pass these courses?" he asks. "If the best students can't then who can?" From our viewpoint, the professor who sends deficiencies to more than 75 per cent of his class is defeating the purpose of deficiencies. Instead of scaring his students and encouraging them to do better, the deficiencies are only adding to the frustration the student already has. We cannot hope to support all the complaints; and we cannot damn both these departments for this poor "attitude" on the part of some professors. But three or four chemistry professors, with large auditorium classes, can affect an impressive number of students. A professor can maintain high academic standards, be as rough and tough as he likes, and command the respect of his students without trying to'be ir confusing, sarcastic .'uncooperative academic "bully." The statistics concerning failure rates do not reflect those students who become so upset they either drop the course or lose sight of their subjects in the mad rush for a grade. We would ask these departments to consider the complaints. No one is asking for a lowering of standards. We're asking that these complaints not be taken lightly. It is evident some corrections in the chemistry and physics departments need to be made. The Infirmary Problem I By appointing a committee to look finto protests concerning Drake Infir-fmary practices, the student body is fnot attempting to witch-hunt for |medicine men. I The increasing voice of dissatisfaction from students that the doc- Itors are being unkind, and sometimes 'dismissing their ailments as foolish, ^brings us to the only logical con- |clusion: investigate the misunder- I standings and make suggestions for : improvements. The areas which need critical t examination are: I 1) What is the purpose of the infir- 0 mary? Is it an intermediary between 1 a first-aid station and a full-service hospital or is it supposed to be full-service? 2) Is there any truth in the complaints that doctors and nurses are consistently harsh or is this just a transient little everyday clash? 3) How many patients does each doctor see daily? Are doctors and nurses overworked? 4) If we have to have a difference of opinion, let's be sure and listen to what the doctors have to say about the students, as well as vice-versa. By devoting our attention to these areas-which we can investigate and understand-we hope to locate the reasons for dissatisfaction and begin working for a cure. So Long To Our Girls Professional journalism will gain two talented, hard working people when Anne Johnson and Barbara Thomas step into the world fresh from Auburn. Both are leaving the Plainsman this quarter. Anne, who plans to stay in newspaper work, is off to practice teach; and Barbara will begin work for the Columbus Ledger. Their readers, who have sometimes .agreed, often fumed, with their editorial comments will have to assume new journalistic foes or allies. For us, it's the loss of two great contributors, especially in all the goings-on that're behind the headlines. It's a part of life to see the good ones leave this comfortable Plainsman family. And it'll be hard to replace these two. They have great potential to develop in newspaper work. We offer them formal best wishes for hotter news, better pay, and more time to explore the exciting fields of journalism. Second Time Around: Can Love Come Again? By Jerry Brown When I had first met her-in the glib cheerfulness of a beginning sophomore year-she was already pinned, but even then she was sallow - and looked heartsick, as if whatever romantic relationship she had with the fellow wasn't going to last. I can remember that she wasn't a melodramatic sort of girl-one given to immediate "How long have you felt tears, so her talks when nke this?" I asked. we met later were studies in the bitter cynicism of youth-searching for someone outside herself and finding that the story-book years were long passed. "I just don't think it's real," she said, and somewhere behindmy pipesmoke, I began to muse on that once.- familiar song. It was a balmy day, on a little inland Alabama lake, and the early March wind was fresh in our faces. "No," she said, "I don't want to talk about it. I've just been around. I dated so much, went so many places, that, well, I'm tired. And I'm starting to feel old. In my more desperate moments, I feel like running away to a convent, you know, away from the rat race, from false people, where I could have something to hold o n t o ." Her voice began to die in her throat as four little boys, in dirty dungarees, came splashing and squealing over thelake's spillway, with their strings of small bream trailing behind. "What about the last one?" I asked. " I t ' s been such a long time since that last one, since I really felt I could be myself. I think I have given too much. I've wanted too much. It's not right to expect the whole world to get rosy. . ."And she pi eked up a rock and cast it across the water. "There were times last week when I felt like I .couldn't make it to class, when I felt the whole world knew that I was hollow inside, that I didn't even feel enough to cry. I was a machine. I just went through the motions. "For about two weeks now," she said, with a soft sweep of her skirts catching in the wind. "I suppose it all caught up with me. I didn't really want to talk about it. All the dorm girls moan over their lost loves, and somehow, their foolish little affairs never have any meaning. But then," she said, "maybe they think the same of mine." A reflection came up in the water at her feet-pretty and much clearer than the blurred, embittered image that had often distressed her friends. In the wind and water of another day, she was beginning to look demure, almost haunting, with her melancholy beginning to diminish. It was getting late when we started back and I felt that her burdened heart was lighter, that she had said what needed to be said. The sun was shining on her hair and she was beginning to smile. "Yes, I've been afraid to think about love and what it means," she said, "afraid of consequence and fate. I've been afraid to venture out again because I don't have much hope and I'm really scared that something might go wrong. I'm really afraid of myself. That's not very brave, is i t ?" "But there are times," she said, "when I think all the old hurts and agonies are ready to be wiped away. They get so big they suddenly burst like a balloon. And I really feel better. Can you know what I mean?" We walked back barefoot in the cool, strong sweep of the spillway water. Criticism Mr. Sandman Switches His Traditional Role By Susan foy One wonders where Mr. Peter Sandman, author of "Where the Girls Are" got his wealth of misinformation and his attitude toward Southern Puritanism. Why did Mr. Sandman choose to pick Auburn's Cake Race as an example of our student life, instead of ACOIA? Though the cake race is an exciting redeems himself by his brilliant insight: Auburn's coeds are generally so good looking that even the leftovers are tasty. And despite his derogatory attitude, he is correct that Auburn women are generally more fitted for church attendance than for party attendance, although more are to be found dancingSat-urday night than singing Sunday morning. They are certainly more fitted for marching down the aisle, at least, than any girl at Princeton. Mr. Sandman's satire of the Alabama coed is another case. She will have to defend herself, though. Auburn is fortunate to fare so well under Mr. Sandman's biting satire. Criticism of one's school i s hard enough to take. It seems to me that this criticism would have been more acceptable if it had hit Auburn's problems and not satirized non-existent virtues. Criticism coming from so reputable a school as Princeton should have been more informed and correct. But perhaps Mr. Sandman's criticism was colored by his knowledge that his own school has not yet progressed to contemporary coed education. Despite his attitude, Mr. Sandman has hit some points of our "Theoretical" personality that definitely need redefinition and clarification. Maybe Peter Sandman will open our eyes. event, ACOIA would have been more representative of Auburn's growing role as a Uni-versity. Editor's Note: This column concerns the review of Peter Sandman's "Where the Girls Are" on page 1). How could he claim that most of Auburn's entertainment is "planned recreation," when the apartment rule was modified last year to allow students to have impromtu parties in their "homes." How could he claim, with clean conscience, that Auburn's coed never drinks and never wants to in light of the present efforts to modify the drinking rule? What would he say had he been at nameless parties and restaurants at-tendedby some Auburn coeds? How could Mr. Sandman be able to distinguish between the surface football, and maybe highschoolish, Auburn spirit and that which comes only from a knowledge of Auburn's history, her people and most important, a belief in herfuture. This deeperAuburn spirit is not a hangover from high school, but something that comes only after living at Auburn for three or four years. Where did Mr. Sandman get his information that none of Auburn's 12,500 students are dissatisfied with the social life at Auburn? Though he missed the mark in several of his satirical comments, Mr. Sandman *4 SUPPOSE HANOI WILL ClAlM RXM M WAMNfrTOK) flflU7©MlT Mtt* Blood And Tears . . . War's Toll Rises Daily But We Can't Back Out By Kay Donahue I The price of victory in Viet Nam is a «*- _ . _. _. J, dear one for us to have to pay. The cost soars in the blood of youth serving their homeland and the tears of those who are left behind to wait and worry. Is it worth the price? People have died and their loved ones have wept as long as man has sought to be free ca instead of the coast of from domination. Blood and tears were spent that we might enjoy the liberty and luxury we possess today. But whw must we pay the price and why must it be now? The Communist ideology is motivated by one central aim-conquest of the world. Though it professes to seek a society without classes which will offer equality to all, the examples of Communist domination in eastern Europe show this to be a snare to trap hopeless people into grasping the straw of promised good times. American support and defense of South Viet Nam is a longstanding obligation. The conquest of this little strip of land in Southeast Asia is just one more tidbit for the hungry giant who wishes to devour the world. We can't let it happen. What do we care about the fate of Southeast Asia, you ask? The reply is simple. We don't have to give a flip about the whole Asian continent. If we think only of ourselves, the needed action in that area remains the same. Once the Reds get control of an area for which they are fighting, they move on to take some more. Greedy folks are like that. If we allow them to take Southeast Asia, the next selection on the menu could be right on our doorstep. First thing we know, the fighting will be for the coast of Ameri-ieffers To The Editor Asia. We have been richly blessed, yet most of us are not aware how lucky we really are. Foreign wars have never touched our soil. We are powerful enough to feel relatively secure in this uncertain world. The agony of starvation and disease and dire poverty is something found in books for the majority of our people. The position held by the United States in the world as savior of the oppressed and guardian of the threatened necessitates continuation' of action in areas such as Viet Nam. Why us? Who else is there with the power and capability to handle such a task? After looking at the blessings which we enjoy it seems rather ungrateful to gripe about the price we are asked to pay to keep these blessings. The hackneyed old phrase, "war is hell," is an apt description for such a state of events. Death and sadness and loss are not desired by normal people yet there is a place in life for them. Blood and tears will continue to flow for the safety and freedom of that little strip of land in far-off Asia. The hawks and doves willcontinue to debate the right and wrong of the "conflict." But the war will go on because we cannot quit. The threat to the future of the world will not let us. Time /$ Right... Involved Parties Should Express Union Suggestions By lyn Scarbrough The Union board has scheduled an open meeting March 29 to allow students, faculty and alumni to express their needs for space in future Union Building construction. Individual students, as well as organizations, have been invited to attend. The board should be commended for its effort to remedy the crowded situations which now exist in the Union Building. One hundred and thrity-sixorganizationsare presently eligible for use of existing facilities, which includes a mere seven meeting rooms and permanent space for only six organizations. The additional wing to be located on the present site of Alumni Gym will also alls viate many difficulties. This project is still in the long-range plan-stages. But proper allocation of the space is a necessity in order to achieve the full potential of the additional room. Among facilities which should be considered are more meeting and conference rooms, another photography dark room, a small auditorium, additional dining and snack space, and a reading room. In the past many qualified groups have been unable to use the building because all available rooms were occupied. An opportunity is now at hand to correct many of these problems. But if the groups involved do not cooperate with the Union Board, the situation can not be expected to improve. Any organization which has suggestions and does not use this opportunity to offer them will have no grounds to complain in the future. « Students, faculty, and alumni who have an interest in the use of the building should take this chance to give recommendations and suggestions. The Union Building staff and the Union Board does a much more than adequate job and they deserve the total cooperation of the parties involved. Now is the time to start solving the problem. After the building is completed and the additional space is being utilized, the time for solutions and opinions will be over. MEDICAL CENTER TOUR Alpha Epsilon Delta, pre-med honorary, is sponsoring a trip to University Medical Center in Birmingham for pre-med, pre-dental, and lab tech students and anyone interested in these fields. Student Criticizes 'Soggy' Drop And Add Period Editor, the Plainsman: How many of you "went through drop and add" on Jan. uary 6 and 9 still have memories of soggy, cold feet or the miserable feeling of wet wool clothes or the unpleasant odor of drenched people huddled in line waiting for a class card? How many of you thought, "Those warm, dry administrators sitting in their cozy offices couldn't care less how many times I have to slosh from Ramsay to Commons to Tiche-nor to Commons to Ramsay to MaryE. Martin Hall to Samford Basement to Mary E. Martin Hall in an effort to schedule a full load?" One administrator, who places the welfare of his more than 1200 pre-engi-neering students first on any agenda at any meeting, did care; and, for that matter, he he still does care. Dr. Strong and Dr. Grady Cox, Assistant Dean of Engineering, paid a visit to Dr. Wilbur Tincher, Director to Educational Services and Mr. Homer Fisher, Assistant Registrar and discussed the problem at length. Dr. Tincher was concerned and promised to bring up the problem at a meeting of the Registration Committee that same day. At the meeting, student representatives Jerry Brown and Charles Bentley presented the students' point of view. The Committe e promised to do what it could about effecting a centralized card-issuing center in order to eliminate much of the needless walking. Dr. Strong followed up this by discussing the problem with Dean Fred Pumphrey, Dean of Engineering. He gave Dean Pumphrey a memorandum, outlining the reasons for needing the central location and asking Dean Pumphrey to present the problem to the Academic Administrative Council at an upcoming meeting when Mr. Fisher, Assistant Registrar, was scheduled to report to the Council on the process of computer registration. Dean Pumphrey did this. Mr. Fisher's reply to Dean Pumphrey was, "Oh, I thought we had satisfied him on that at the last meeting of the Registration Committee.' When Dean Pumphrey told Dr. Strong what had transpired at the meeting. Dr. Strong was a bit embarrassed that he had asked Dean Pumphrey to mention a problem which had apparently been solved already. On February 28, the Registration Committee met again. Quickly, quietly, with almost no discussion and without a dissentingvote, the Committee votedto continue the students' walkathon, discarding the idea of a central location for issuing cards. When Dr. Strong was asked why he didn't vote against the motion when he had been so opposed to it previously, he replied, "I could hardly afford to. Neither of the two student members (not Brown or Bentley) of the committee voiced any dissatisfaction at all. If either had, I would have taken up the battle. However, in fairness to the student representatives, I think they were new members of the committee. If so, perhaps they did not know enough about the situation to voice a complaint, I imagine that everyone else there has been on the committee for years."

She has aimed her scorn at fraternity boys, but frat boys are not the only males at Auburn. And speaking of the fraternity's counterpart, the sorority, is Miss Thomas saying that sorority girls are being exploited? Let's face it, the "honest" male that the Auburn "female" is looking for is sharp dressing, smooth talking, and can't see past the pancake makeup on his date's face. As for being fooled, everyone knows that a girl can be fooled only when she wants to be fooled. Miss Thomas must be out in left field, because I can't see her from here. Henry M. Peirce 2PV Mag Residents Called Unsatisfied Editor, the Plainsman: In reply to the letter written in defense of the state of affairs in Magnolia Dormitories by Don Cotney, a counselor, several things need to be said.

PARKING NO PROBLEM beer anywhere in the state of Alabama, unless he is over 21 years of age." However, this same freshman can walk into several places in Lee County and be served that same beer. Local law enforcement officials show good judgement in not enforcing the so-called minor in possession law. If one's drinking does not disturb others, why should the dormitories be concerned with what he consumes in his room. However, if the management of Magnolia Dormitories takes it upon itself to enforce Alabama laws, no matter how trivial and unjust they may be, all Alabama laws should be enforced. Title 14, Section 95 of the Code of Alabama plainly states that it is illegal to sell, barter or trace cigarettes to minors. The cigarette machines in Magnolia Dormitories do a booming business with the below 21 residents. So, Mr. Cotney, if you counselors take it upon yourself to enforce all rules and laws of Auburn University, and the state of Alabama, I suggest that you post yourself by the cigarette machines in the dormitory and require positive proof of age from potential buyers. In closing, it should be remembered that Magnolia Dorms exist for the student. A great number of the residents of the dormitory are not satisfied with the management. No long term lease would be required if Magnolia Dorms were made a suitable place to live. Brobson Lutz 2 PV Student Writes Letter But Refuses Reply (?) Editor, the Plainsman: Last week I and many of my male counterparts had the special pleasure of reading about our lethal and predatory habits in Miss Thomas' masterpiece of journalistic insight-which will surely go down in the annals of literary history as one of the most profound insights into human nature ever written. Last year the female population of Auburn was treated to a similar tirade off the pen of most honorable editor Brown. This first editorial was greeted with a howl of protest from the more inane members of the coed ranks who evidently felt that such asinine generalities should be graced with a defense. Judging from this performance, I feel sure that deep down in her libelous little heart Miss Thomas expects a similar response from the less responsible members of Auburn's masculine set (which will no doubt be the case). Granted that constructive controversy is a good thing, but to expect a meaningful' reply to a trite and meaningless "editorial" is an insult to the intelligence of your readers.' Ralph Blaine, 3CN EDITOR'S NOTE: Thank you for your reply and your insult. Student Criticizes Use Of Picture Editor, the Plainsman: In reference to your article on Feb. 23, concerning the archery range stabbing, I feel that it was unfortunate that James Gunter's picture appeared with the article. Previously this picture had not been released even by the large state newspapers. Not knowing many of the details behind the incident or of the people involved, the Plainsman, it seems would have hesitated to draw such attention to the student concerned, so soon. If acquitted, the student's readjustment to a normal life could be complicated by the fact that so much publicity was given to him locally. Living up to the standards of a thorough and objective college newspaper is an admiral goal but going to such an extreme at the expense of a 4 fellow student seems unjust.

But no more! Your article made me realize that while I was a physically mature and satisfied Auburn male, I was intellectually immature. It made me realize that I was debasing myself by telling those awful untruths (I feel that lying is too strong a word to use in this case); and not only that, I was insulting my date. She didn't want to hear me say that she was beautiful; she wanted me to say, "Gee! If your nose was straightened, you would be good looking." Yes! I have seen the light. From now on, I am going to be completely frank and mature. I am going to be an Auburn man. To get a date, I am simply going to stop the first Auburn coed I see, tell her the truth about herself, and what I expect my date to do. If she hesitates even slightly, I will walk away because that will mean that she doesn't know what she wants. She is intellectually immature, and I being the mature Auburn man would not want to debase myself by dating an immature Auburn coed. Yes! Miss Thomas, you have opened my eyes. The next time I am up at that hamburger stand alone, pondering the question of how so many intellectually immature coeds could get into an Alabama university; and I see an Auburn male lean over and whisper something into his date's ear and then see her giggle as they drive t o . . . to where ever intellec-tually immature Auburn males take their dates, I will think, "Poor soul, poor Auburn male. You know not the joys of intellectual maturity." Philip Warren 3 EH P.S. What are you doing Friday night? Student Defends Chemistry Department Editor, the Plainsman: I am very weary of seeing letters in this column criticizing the department of chemistry. Besides being unfounded, these letters are usually written by persons who have a very limited knowledge of the department as a whole. I, for one, shall be happy to have the reputation of the Auburn chemistry department behind me when I am graduated next quarter with a degree in chemistry; consequently, I do not believe that the standards of the department should be relaxed for anyone. While I am in the process of writing, I would like to add a comment about the Plainsman policy of printing letters and withholding the names of the authors. I believe that if a person has a legitimate complaint, he should have no fear or shame in signing his name to his letter. Thomas S.

With those words the grand old man of basketball, Adolph Rupp, gave past due credit Monday night to a ballplayer who couldn't convince a room-full of AP sports writers of his merit-Bobby Buisson. But there was more. "He (Buisson) is one of the greatest defensive ballplayers that I have ever Two Rivals Ready For Friday Clash By GUY RHODES Assistant Sports Editor Ronnie Quick, Joe Millsap, Tee Faircloth, and Bobby Buisson, who led Auburn to a 48-27 record during the last three seasons will be out to add. one more victory to the total when Auburn travels to Montgomery for a BOBBY BUISSON TEE FAIRCLOTH (Photo by Roger Hull) AUBURN'S BUISSON (22) DRIVES AROUND 'TUCKY'S CLEVINGER. seen, said Rupp, and _ ^ _ hehas seen g g i / £ M I 37 sea- • 1 1 I sons'worth WMlR fli of defen- GOUEDY sive guards. Playing his last game in the Sports Arena, Buisson (See page 8, column 1) *m i A ROY W RILEY iff Sports Editor All-Star teams aren't worth the paper on which they are printed. I say this as one already predjudiced on the subject. When Kentucky's Thad Jaracz made All- America and third string All-SEC last year and Lee DeFore of Auburn made first team All-SEC and nothing on the All-America selections, my views became slanted. And the ommission of Bobby Buisson from the Associated Press All-SEC team this year, was unfair. There was no personal vendetta involved, I'm sure, but not many of the voters saw Auburn play and probably did not realize Buisson's true assets. Bobby could average 15 or more points a game if he wanted to. But he chooses instead to be the playmaker, a great passer, and an outstanding defender. He would lead the league in " a s s i s t s " if the SEC kept records of such. Auburn keeps "assists" for personal records, but not many other schools do. A close look at Bobby's defensive record proves his merit. He held Alabama's Mike Nordholz (21.2) to 10 points. He held Florida's David Miller (14.2) to seven points. He held Louie Dampier (21.6) to 10 points... in Lexington even. Ho Fluke Here . . . And just to prove his Dampier defending was no fluke, he held little Louie to 10 Monday night. Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp hailed Buisson as "one of the finest defensive players we've ever seen." Auburn coach Bill Lynn said Buisson is "the finest guard in the conference." But, AP doesn't agree and they make the selections. Wrestlers Win 20th Title; Atchison Cops Victory Auburn regained the Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Championship for the 20th time Friday and Saturday in the annual tournament which was held at the University of Georgia. The Tigers outclassed the tournament Egg In Your Beer... Holy Cow, AP, what do you want? Thus, "Bweetz" gets a dirty deal again. He led the conference in field goal percentage last year, and didn't make All-SEC. He has made a great sacrifice. He could have shot a lot and scored a lot. Then he would have made it. But Auburn would not have made it. The Tiger offense thrived on hustle and a deliberate offense this year. There is no room for a "gunner" on a team like that. Bobby made a big sacrifice. And when he is introduced at the Auburn- Alabama ga'me Friday night, I will be disappointed if the Auburn cheering section doesn't tear the roof off with cheers. 'Bweetz' Isn't Worried... You'll not see "Bweetz" get too disturbed over this injustice. That's the kind of a guy he is. He is a team man. After he's played his last game for Auburn, he might remember the few bad passes, he threw. He may even remember some of his great moments. But Bobby Buisson will not complain about being left off the AP All-SEC team. That's just the kind of guy he is.

Despite placing seven wrestlers in the championship finals, Auburn had only one individual champion, Bob Atchison, senior team co-captain in the 191 pound class. "Being a champion means a lot but this team, the boys on it, and their spirit means even more to me,'' said Atchison in a team meeting after the tournament. This was Atchisons second second straight SEIWA championship. SOUND TEAM In the same meeting coach "Swede" Umbach said, "I felt like we had a sound team but no real exceptional wrestlers. The spirit and senior leadership of this group has surprised me throughout the season." Looking toward next year Umbach continued, "We ought to have a real fine team next year since we are losing only two varsity boys to graduation. This tournament gave our returning' boys, especially the six sophomores, a lot of valuable experience. Rick Umbach, the other senior co-captain in the 145 pound class, lost a tough match in the finals to Georgia Tech's Jimmy Pond who was fifth in the nation last year.

Alabama once had what seemed anin-surmountale lead, but 15 Auburn wins in the last 18 games against the Tide have put the Tigers in a position to begin next season on an even note with the Tide. The key to the game could be what the SEC leading scorer Mike Nordholz is able to accomplish against a stifl Auburn defense.

(Playoffs Set For Cage Loops By JIMMY POOLE The stage is set for the beginning of the playoffs to determine the fraternity and independent basketball champions for 1967. The only fraternity league in which first and second place is yet to be decided is league 4. Sigma Nu and Kappa Alpha are tied for (either KA, AGR, or SN), first with 5-1 records while Alpha Gamma Rho is second at 4-2. Tonight at 9, SN and KA meet to determine the first place winner, and the loser of this game will play AGR tomorrow for second place in the league and a place in the playoffs. OTHER LOOPS In the other three leagues, the first and second place winners respectively were: League 1, OTS and Theta Chi; League 2 SAE and Delta Chi; and League 3, ATO and either Kappa Sig or Phi Gamma Delta. The first round of the tournament will contain four games with OTS meeting the No. 2 team in league 4, SAE playing league 3's second place team (either KS or PGD), ATO meeting DC, and the top team either SN, KA, or AGR) in league 4 playing TC. LAST WEEK In last week's action, Stewart and Franklin scored 21 and 13 points respectively in leading Phi Kappa Tau to a 50-47 upset over Kappa Sig, while the Fijis gave the top team in league 3, ATO, their first defeat of the season by upsetting them 54-45. Otto Gaylord scored 21' points and Paul Birch added 15 as Delta Chi romped, 71-3Q, over Sigma Pi.

Tee Fair-cloth hadn't either, until he received a mimeographed letter that offered him one of the scholarships that the Minn, college had sent according to their letter, "to the top 25 high school basketball players in the U.S." Tee, then a high school senior, didn't bother to answer that letter, but did investigate offers from every SEC school except Ole R*--3. "In „ , „ w . . . . high school, PULLIAM K ? n t u c ky was the greatest place to go to play basketball," Tee said. "Coach Davalos (then with Kentucky, now with Auburn) came down to talk to me about Kentucky.'' "But, when the time came to make up my mind, I decided that Kentucky was just too far away," Faircloth said. "I called Coach Eaves (now Ga. athletic director) and told him I wanted to play at Auburn. My parents didn't know until I told them the next day." WINNING HABITS Faircloth's winning habits in high school when he starred for Ft. Valley High School, making All-State three years in football and basketball, continued his freshman year at Auburn. That year, with teammates Bob Buisson, Jim Montgomery Randy Thomas, and Joe Millsap, the freshman were undefeated, with a 16-0 record. The senior guard has been a dependable asset to Auburn, as his record attests. He has played in every single game that Auburn has participated in, with the excep-of one contest with Ga. Tech. Faircloth's height has been the biggest disadvantage in playing college ball, his six feet just not tall enough to cope with the larger guards found around the SEC. GOOD ACCURACY Tee's accuracy for putting the ball in the basket is unquestioned. He can drop-kick it in when his eye is right. As Auburn captain Bob Buisson put it, "Tee is the best long range shooter on the team. And he's also one of the best pressure-players Auburn has." A rash of injuries has hindered Faircloth from having a really healthful season dur- (See page 8, column 2) Tiger-Bama Ducats Tickets for the Auburn- are $2.

Sprained ankles, arches, even a cracked bone in his little toe has put Tee at less than full speed, at one time or other. He also has had to cope with a back sprain, pulled muscles, and a rare leg injury that is usually reserved for trackmen, according to trainer Kenny Howard. Faircloth has taken it all in stride, however, and has definite thoughts about his basketball career. "I know I missed a lot of college life, with practice in the afternoon, and studying at night," he said. "But I ve seen a lot of things, gone a lot of places' seen lot of cities. And my college education has been paid for, so the sacrifice is worth i t ." FUNNY THING Faircloth recalled probably the funniest thing that happened to him during his basketball career at Auburn. "It was this year when we were playing LSU at Baton Rouge. We had practiced the day before, and when we headed for the game, I saw one tennis shoe on the floor and tossed it in my bag, thinking the other one was already in. When I arrived at the coliseum, it wasn't in my bag. I finally found an old pair that Ronnie Quick had that would fit, and played in them.". Riley Column . . . (Continued from page 6) Tennessee head basketball coach Ray Mearsisa bush leaguer. Mears told a Tennessee radio audience after his Vols beat Auburn Saturday night that the Auburn student body was "obnoxious and arrogant." He said Tennessee got a raw deal at Auburn."We filmed the game to show the whole world the treatment we got at Auburn," he said. That treatment included a standing ovation forr Tennessee's Tan Boerwinkle when he was injured. How can he call Auburn obnoxious when his teams have been involved in near riots? Two years ago, the Vols slugged it out with Florida and Vanderbilt. Remember how a Tennessee player punched an Auburn player last year while another Vol was holding the Auburn player? Mears criticized Georgia coach KenRosemondfor using the stall when Mears uses it himself. He just disguises it. A pie-tournament banquet afforded him the opportunity to point his finger at the Auburn team and say how badly they were going to beat us. And badly they did. Tennessee Red Corpef... A tournament is supposed to be run justly. Each team should be given the same amount of respect. When the teams were introduced on the court, only Tennessee got the red carpet treatment... you know the spotlight deal and all. Humbug. In the Tennessee-Clemson game, the Vols were leading by 10 points with 10 seconds to play, and Mears called time out to put in a scoring play to beef up the score. That's bush my friends. And I might point out the not-so-humble attitude of the Tennessee team, especially Ron Widby. He's bush, too. # * * # Just a personal note here for those who have helped this quarter. Assistant sports editor, Guy Rhodes, a bright and upcoming writer, really pulled us out of a lot of tough spots. And Ed Gouedy's colorful writing livened up these pages. Let's not forget "Jungle" Jim Dykes. He gave up his intramurals column to help out in the office where these pages are made or broken. And to all the rest of the staff with which we work and work and work thanks. Rupp Hails Buisson m m ^(Continued from page 6) had hit 7 of 12 from the floor to lead the Tigers in scoring 14 points as they defeated Kentucky, 60-49. In addition, he held Wildcat Louie Dampier to ten points-less than half his ;i.-season average-for the se- &'cond time this season. TIGER LOOK Buisson's effort was typical of the "Tiger look' this season. The team that was picked in preseason polls to finish'seventh now has a 16-8 season record, an 11-6 SEC record and is solidly entrenched in the conference's fourth place. The victory over Kentucky, only the fourth for Auburn in the last 18 seasons, was the final home game for four of Auburn's cagers. Ronnie Quick, Joe Millsap, Tee Faircloth and Buisson have only the game with Alabam a remaining in their careers. The Kentucky victory came on the throes of a 54-45 defeat at the hands of leading Tennessee. In that game Buisson and Quick Men's Intramurals .. (Continued from page 7) 57-20. Benny Hitch hit for 15 points as AGR downed DU 50-36, while Boring scored 14 for OTS in their 55-38 win over TKE and 16 more as OTS beat PDT 82-23.

THETA CHI WINS Billy Biles continued to average above 20 points per game as he scored 23 in leading Theta Chi over Alpha P si 48-34. Bowen scored 20 and Merrick added 18 as Beta Theta Pi upset Alpha Gamma Rho, 60-48, and Sigma Nu defeated DU 52- 47. Bert Casey and Rudy Daniels with 13 points each were the big guns for the Snakes while Johnny Robertson and Allan Oakes added 11 and 10 respectively; the leading scorers for DU were Humphrey with 16 and Bowlin with 14. INDEPENDENTS In Independent action last week, Randy's Racks ran over Alpha Epislon Pi 55-20, and Smith scored 17 for the Swishers as they beat Independents, 46-41.

"We weren't moving the ballgood, and we didn't always take the good shots. Had we had a good night we could have beaten Tennessee. But the ball just wasn't bouncing our way." Looking back over the season. Lynn has been pleased with the team's effort and record. "Sixteen games is the most we've won since I've been here," Lynn said Monday night. "I think these boys have given a great effort every night, even when they've lost. "They'vegiven everything they've got, and that's all you can ask."

The familiar sailor hat and bell bottom trousers, occasionally supplemented by marine khakis or greens, can be seen each Wednesday scattered around the Auburn landscape. The people you see are not midshipmen in the NROTC, as they are quick to point out themselves. Auburn is one of the very few campuses in the country sporting a particular sailor or marine called a NESEP. All of those initials stand for Naval Enlisted Scientific Education Program, These men are petty officers and non-commissioned officers on active duty with the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps who have come to Auburn to get a college degree in a fairly technical field as a prerequisite to a commission in the Navy or Marine Corps. The two services send their NESEP to Auburn for four academic years with full pay and with a complete scholarship. The men selected are obviously top notch enlisted personnel who have been chosen by their service and approved by the University. The first NESEP came to Wouldn't you like to teach in DAYTONA BEACH? or one of the other attractive communities in Volusia County, Florida Our representative will be at the Teacher Placement Office on Friday, March 10, 1967 Auburn nine years ago, and today the size of the group has grown to 49. Over half of these men maintain 2.0 averages or better, but they still seem to find time to participate in almost every aspect of Auburn life. NESEPs are members of ODK, Squires, Phi Eta Sigma, and every engineering, math andphysics honorary society, but they can also be found teaching classes, helping in labs, playing in or coaching athletic teams, joining in Au- Player productions, and even skydiving. The NESEPs completing their work here this quarter are typical of the program. All are family men and fairly high ranking petty officers, and all are proceeding to Navy OCS or Marine pre-commissioning training. Richard Ashford is a graduate student inmathematics and is a member of Squires, Phi Eta Sigma, ODK, and Delta Upsilon social fraternity. John Bilodeau, a marine sergeant majoring in Applied Physics, is a co-author of a Physics paper for publication in the American Physics Society Journal. Lee Carpenter and Ronald Norman are mathe-ma tics majors who are headed for two of the Navy's newest destroyers after 16 weeks of Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. Though many of Auburn's NESEPs have travelled around the world and seen duty in such places as Europe as well as Vietnam, most of them are enthusiastic "plainsmen." A good portion of their number, disguised in civilian clothes, can be found contributing to the famous War Eagle spirit at any athletic event or campus activity. Navy Announces 5 Finalists For This Year's Color Girl Steerage, the naval ROTC honorary fraternity, has announced the five finalists for this year's Navy Color Girl, official hostess for the naval ROTC. They are as follows: Sue Neyman, a freshman in home economics of Phi Mu sorority. Nancy Brown, a sophomore in elementary education and a member of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. Donna Massie, a secondary education major and a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Ginger Van Hooser, a home economics major of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. Jeanne Kelley, a mathematics major and a resident of Dorm E. Each girl was interviewed by a selection board composed of three Steerage members; Shirley Anne Jacobs, the present Color Girl; and Lt. Rodney Koenig, advisor to Steerage. During this week the five finalists will each speak to the Navy unit as a whole, and each midshipman will then vote. stcei 61KG- i j A>. 3E -OflUtL RECORD sffop |5 ^ i " 3 If you thought Pontiac was coming out with just another sports car, you don't know Pontiac!

Auburn's Arnold Air Society, which is an honorary for outstanding students in Air Force ROTC, sponsored Miss Walker in the contest. She was competing with girls from schools throughout the South. During the conclave the contestants were first interviewed by a board composed of commanders of the Arnold Air Societies from each school. This board narrowed the firld of seven down to two girls, Miss Walker and the entrant from Louisiana State University. The members of Arnold Air Society attending the conclave then voted and selected the winner. This conclave was similar to 17 which are being held this year in Miami, Fla. on April 23.

The debate team will participate in two tournaments this weekend. Participating in the Duke Coaches' Tournament at Duke University will be Mary Fisher and John Schell, on one team and Mike Peace and Bill Shealy on the other. The coach will be Mike Lipe. The unusual feature of this debate is that the winning coach as well as the winning team will receive a trophy. This invitational tournament is a switch-side tournament in which both teams debate both sides of the proposition. The topic is "Resolved: that the United States should substantially reduce its foreign policy commitments.'' The second tournament to be held this weekend is the Magnolia Speech Tournament at Mississippi State College for Women in Columbus, Miss. Debating the same proposition for the affirmative side in opposition with another school team will be Judy Walton and Fletcher Comer.

By LEE SENTELL

A proposal requesting a change in the women's compulsory
seven-day meal ticket is to be presented to
President Philpott this week by the Associated Women

The request suggests a five-day, three-meal plan
identical to men's dorm

Due to conflicting interests

Hall Committee.
Under the present system,
all women students living in
university dormitories are required
to buy the three-meal
ticket.
ALLOW SAVINGS
The AWS spokesman said
that the "five-three" plan
seemed reasonable since
"such a program would allow
savings for women who don't
eat three meals every day or
stay on campus during the
weekend."
The proposal will be presented
by Frances Tully,
president of AWS, and Corinne
Ham, pr e si dent-elect. "Dean
Cater has been behind our ef-for

She has been most helpful in
our drive to improve conditions
in the women's dining halls,"
said Miss Tully.
The request states," numerous
students have asked that
there be alternate programs
set up under which a student
may choose the type meal
ticket she wishes to buy."
Presentation of the request
will culminate nearly a full
quarters study of the meal ticket
problem initiated at the request
of the AWS president.
The association expressed
hope that the Board of Turs-tees
will give the matter prompt
attention at their next meeting.
Committee

A committee to look into
complaints about student

appointed by Phil Hardee, student

"Complaints about Drake

Alabama's New Governor
Addresses Auburn Banquet
Gov. Lurleen Wallace made
her first in-state major speech
at the annual Aubum Chamber
banquet Tuesday night, urging
the importance of the free
enterprise system and continued
efforts in education.
She emphasized the importance
of free enterprise, private
property ownership , and
individual freedom. "We are
convinced, she said, "that
the principles of our American
founding fathers are ageless
and we believe the other
states are behind us in our
free en tern rise."
"Alabama as a state and
the South as a region are setting
the pace of progress that
that should be followed by
every city and county," the
chief executive said.
In recent years, the Governor
said, there has been a
breakthrough and follow-through
in education in Alabama."
Gov. Wallace said that today
shewouldtell the Alabama
Legislature of plans for continuance
of the largest highway
program in the history
of the state.
She urged efforts for mutual
co-operation of adjoining
areas to solve mutual
problems.
"The problems of this area
of Alabama," she said, "are
just as perplexing to the people
on the other side of theChat-tahoochee.
Problems do not
stop at state lines," she
added.
In referring to her recent
visit to Partlow School in
Auburn Coed A Puritan?
Where The Girls Are, a
social guide to college women
in the USA, pokes fun
at Auburn women by writing
that they are "more suitable
for church attendance than
)arty attendance."
The book, written by Peter
Sandman and the staff of
The Daily Princetonian,
classifies coeds from colleges
from all over the
United States.
"Almost all Aubum social
affairs are organized, populous
'functions,' and college
rules hold that no Tiger
date can drink at any time
in any place. Nor will she
want to," The Princetonian
continues, "since most
Auburn women (in contrast
with University of Alabama
women) boast a Southern
Puritan upbringing more
suitable for church than party
attendance."
Where The Girls Are adds
that the annual freshman
Cake Race, "in which the
current crop of fuzzy-cheeked
uninitiates chase the speeding
car of that loveliest of
cheesecakes, Miss Auburn,"
is one of the most exciting
events on the Auburn campus.
"In his remaining three
years," the book continues,
"he may eat many more
cakes, but the kiss could
be his last."
"Because Auburn women
are predominately good-looking,
even the leftovers are
tasty," The Princetonian
ventures to reveal.
A final paragraph says
that "what is most disturbing
about Auburn is the fact that
out of 12,500 students, no
one is dissatisfied with it.
social life, convential and
inaccessible as it may be.
"Perhaps this is because
Auburn is best known for its
raucous school spirit, ahold-over
from high school that
is taken seriously by undergraduates,
and a warm reality
that serves many as a substitute
for a cold date."
"In short," the book says
about Auburn, "Miss Auburn's
thank-you-kindly gesture is
representative of a campus-wide
social malaise: It is
cold, clammy, probably mis-placed-
and a once-in-a-life-time
proposition at that."
However, Auburn is not
the only Southern school
suffering from The Princetonian'
s barbs. Of the University
of Alabama women,
they say the girls are "lovely
belles that float about the
campus like lilies on a
stagnant pond."
"The casual visitor," it
continues, "stands a chance
only if he can pretend he
isn't a visitor. As usual in
the South, the only way to
get a date is to know someone.
But even then your
chances aren't good.''
"Primarily high school
products from within the
state, 'Bama girls soon develop
strong proclivities
either toward social life or
toward getting married and
getting out. The socialite
is happy and grinning; the
rest are just waking up to
the fact that they went to
Alabama because no other
place would have them.
"The syndrome goes even
farther. If a prospective
socialite doesn't make it
with the right sorority, she is
likely to wake up to the fact
that she went to Alabama because
no other place would
have her."
The Princetonian launches
its final attack at the 'Bama
belles saying, "If you're
lucky enough to latch onto
a suntanned Alabama coed,
you'll find that she 'has fun
where she can find it, "usually
at frat parties unless
something better comes
along. If you're 'something
better,' she'll be willing to
forget about the fundamentalist
morality that she is
supposed to observe."
Tuscaloosa, Mrs. Wallace
said,' 'We owe to all the handicapped
and afflicted the best
we have in facilities and
training, in order to restore
them to useful and productive
lives."
Continued effort on the part
of education is a must, she
said. "No economy can prosper
that fails to support the
educational system that sustains
it."

Blood Drive, April 5-6,
To Try For New Record
The 1967 blood drive,
April 5-6, will set up two
stations for blood donations
in an effort to break last
year's record of 3,507 pints
for a two day drive.
"A lot of people have tried
to break our record, but none
of them have been successful.
We are going to prove that
no one but us can break our
own record," said Larry
Menefee, co-chairman of the
drive.
The drive, coordinated by
Menefee and Norman Waldrop,
will use the Sports Arena and
Student Activities Building
as doner stations so that
lines will move faster than
they have in the past.
Awards will be given to
the sorority and fraternity
donating the largest number
of pints.
Permission slips for students
under 21 will be distributed
before the end of
this quarter. Dean's excuses
will be available to students
donating and free refreshments
will be provided immediately
after the donation.

C-Gs Attack'
Inspection Team
By DAVID HOUSEL
Assistant Managing Editor
When the 2 o'clock bell
rang Tuesday, 2,211 Army
ROTG cadets breathed a
sigh of relief. Federal
Inspection was over.
One of the highlights of
the demonstration came when
a mock ambush was staged on
a vehicle carrying the inspecting
officers and President
Philpott.
Col. C.B. Drennen, in
charge of the inspecting
team had high praise for the
Counterguerrillas and the
Auburn ROTC program as a
whole.
OUTSTANDING RATING
"The cadets in rank were
outstanding and the counter-guerrilla
demonstration was
most outstanding," said Col.
Dennen, who is professor of
Military Science at Georgia
Tech in Atlanta.
He also said that the cadets
in rank were well organized
and had special praise
for their haircuts and shoes,
two "musts" on the drill field.
Colonel Robert B.Marshall,
professor of military science
here, said the inspection was
"very rewarding for us. We got
a good cross section of our
program and the programs at
the schools of the inspecting
officers. We learned from their
comments and they learned
from our program."
Marshall expressed his
personal thanks to each member
of the cadet brigade for
the hard work that made the
inspection a success.
Captain F.D. Westmoreland
is advisor to the counter-guerrillas
here. Sfc. Charles
Muscat is the non commissioned
officer in charge of
the unit.
SURVIVAL TRAINING
The Auburn counterguerilla
unit was organized in June,
1962. The unit was the first
ROTC unit to participate in
the survival, escape and evasion
training given at Fort
Rucker, Ala,.

Picture Project
Unique For Prof
He claims he's just an "absent-minded professor," fj
but the colleagues of Prof. Stanton Lawson claim there,
is a deeper reason for the photo gallery of his students in
his classroom.
For 15 years Prof. Lawson has taken pictures of all
his students because he
isn't very good at remembering
names/ But there are
»5
tnose who believe there is
more heart than mind involved
in this project.
Now a professor of mechanical
engineering at Auburn,
Prof. Lawson began his unique
project while at the University
of Florida, where he
posted the pictures in his
rollbook.
After coming to Auburn in
1958, he began having enlargements
made and hung on
a wall, with the graduates of
each quarter grouped together.
OBJECTIVE PROJECT
He Claims the project is an
objective one, making it
easier for him to learn the
names of his students and recall
them later when asked for
recommendations.
"Since my machine design
course is required of all
mechanical engineering graduate0
" he said, "that gives
me quite a few names to
learn."
But his colleagues say that
this project has a more personal
motive because "Prof.
Lawson would remember his
students anytime, anywhere
and under any conditions."
GOOD MEMORY
One of his co-workers remarked
that "for a man who
isn't good at remembering
names, it's amazing how
Prof. Lawson can remember
things about students that
most of us never knew."
COVER UP
Said another, "I think he
is trying to cover up the
fact that he thinks so much
of his students that he really
hates to give them up."
Prof. Lawson makes no
secret of his concern for his
students, but he does veil
it in a shroud of modesty.
"I try to get to know my students
pretty well while they
are in my class," he said.
"My labs are usually rather
informal and I give the students
as much liberty as
possible in carrying out their
projects.
BASIC PREPARATION
"I like to think of my
course as a basic preparation
forwhen they get out on their
own in industry. Because of
that, I try to help them work
out any particular problems
they might have," he added.
EXTRA HELP
According to several of
his students, some of this
help goes far outside the
classroom. Because of the
unique relationship that
exists, they say, students
often go to Prof. Lawson
with personal problems or to
ask advice on their future
careers.
He has kept in touch with
many of his former students
and can point at various
pictures in his gallery, citing
where that student is now
and what he is doing.
NOT THE BEST
He commented that the
quality of the pictures is
"not the best in the world"
and that the students are
all wearing school clothes.
"I guess that's the way it
should be," he mused. "I
probably wouldn't know them
if they were all slicked up."
Or maybe that just wouldn't
be the way he remembers
them.

As viewed by Dr. Sturkie,
there is a large potential

suitable for use as soilcon-tioners.
It could be valuable
for use in turf areas like
lawns and golf courses, by
the nursery industry and in
areas devoted to ornamental
plants, and for incorporating
into raw areas of highway

beautified.
Because of its low content
of plant nutrients, the composted

compete with fertilizers. Dr.
Sturkie says it would be more
competitive with peat moss,

The Attitude Of Chemistry And Physics
Chemistry and physics courses,
long academic back-breakers and
whipping boys, have raised a recent
storm of letters-to-the-editor, and
personal complaints to The Plainsman.
There have been complaints in the
past. Failing students have bemoaned
bad professors, stiff quizzes, and
hard labs. But this quarter, the nature
of the complaining student has changed.
Good students, with high grade point
averages, have been eager to speak
against what seems to be "unfair"
practices on the part of a few chemistry
and physics professors.
The main complaint is that some professors'
attitudes hamper theirinstruc-tion.
Both these fields can take a complex
turn and almost any student can
Suddenly become lost in a maze of
technical jargon and theories. What a
grofessor might take for granted could
tyave a serious impact on the student's
Ability to understand the subject matter"
I Complaints began to increase shortly
after mid-quarter when deficiencies
were mailed. Good students, who
Spend hours in the books, discovered
Ihey were failing. One professor reported
failings on more than three-fourths
of his class. Accompanying
|his reports, however, was a complaint
:that most of the students didn't know
?where they stood, that he was vague,
jyand that he refused to offer minimal
jco-operation.
» One administrator has backed up
?the complaining students. "Who is
expected to pass these courses?"
he asks. "If the best students can't
then who can?"
From our viewpoint, the professor
who sends deficiencies to more than
75 per cent of his class is defeating
the purpose of deficiencies. Instead
of scaring his students and encouraging
them to do better, the deficiencies
are only adding to the frustration the
student already has.
We cannot hope to support all the
complaints; and we cannot damn both
these departments for this poor
"attitude" on the part of some professors.
But three or four chemistry
professors, with large auditorium
classes, can affect an impressive
number of students.
A professor can maintain high academic
standards, be as rough and
tough as he likes, and command the
respect of his students without trying
to'be ir confusing, sarcastic .'uncooperative
academic "bully."
The statistics concerning failure
rates do not reflect those students
who become so upset they either
drop the course or lose sight of their
subjects in the mad rush for a grade.
We would ask these departments
to consider the complaints. No one
is asking for a lowering of standards.
We're asking that these complaints
not be taken lightly. It is evident
some corrections in the chemistry
and physics departments need to be
made.
The Infirmary Problem
I
By appointing a committee to look
finto protests concerning Drake Infir-fmary
practices, the student body is
fnot attempting to witch-hunt for
|medicine men.
I The increasing voice of dissatisfaction
from students that the doc-
Itors are being unkind, and sometimes
'dismissing their ailments as foolish,
^brings us to the only logical con-
|clusion: investigate the misunder-
I standings and make suggestions for
: improvements.
The areas which need critical
t examination are:
I 1) What is the purpose of the infir-
0 mary? Is it an intermediary between
1 a first-aid station and a full-service
hospital or is it supposed to be full-service?
2) Is there any truth in the complaints
that doctors and nurses are
consistently harsh or is this just a
transient little everyday clash?
3) How many patients does each
doctor see daily? Are doctors and
nurses overworked?
4) If we have to have a difference
of opinion, let's be sure and listen
to what the doctors have to say about
the students, as well as vice-versa.
By devoting our attention to these
areas-which we can investigate and
understand-we hope to locate the
reasons for dissatisfaction and begin
working for a cure.
So Long To Our Girls
Professional journalism will gain
two talented, hard working people
when Anne Johnson and Barbara
Thomas step into the world fresh from
Auburn.
Both are leaving the Plainsman this
quarter. Anne, who plans to stay in
newspaper work, is off to practice
teach; and Barbara will begin work
for the Columbus Ledger.
Their readers, who have sometimes
.agreed, often fumed, with their editorial
comments will have to assume new
journalistic foes or allies. For us,
it's the loss of two great contributors,
especially in all the goings-on that're
behind the headlines.
It's a part of life to see the good
ones leave this comfortable Plainsman
family. And it'll be hard to replace
these two. They have great potential
to develop in newspaper work.
We offer them formal best wishes
for hotter news, better pay, and more
time to explore the exciting fields of
journalism.
Second Time Around:
Can Love Come Again?
By Jerry Brown
When I had first met her-in the glib
cheerfulness of a beginning sophomore
year-she was already pinned, but even then she was sallow -
and looked heartsick, as if whatever romantic relationship
she had with the fellow wasn't going to last.
I can remember that she wasn't a melodramatic sort of
girl-one given to immediate "How long have you felt
tears, so her talks when nke this?" I asked.
we met later were studies in
the bitter cynicism of youth-searching
for someone outside
herself and finding that
the story-book years were long
passed.
"I just don't think it's
real," she said, and somewhere
behindmy pipesmoke, I
began to muse on that once.-
familiar song.
It was a balmy day, on a
little inland Alabama lake,
and the early March wind was
fresh in our faces.
"No," she said, "I don't
want to talk about it. I've just
been around. I dated so much,
went so many places, that,
well, I'm tired. And I'm
starting to feel old. In my
more desperate moments, I
feel like running away to a
convent, you know, away from
the rat race, from false people,
where I could have something
to hold o n t o ."
Her voice began to die in
her throat as four little boys,
in dirty dungarees, came
splashing and squealing over
thelake's spillway, with their
strings of small bream trailing
behind.
"What about the last one?"
I asked.
" I t ' s been such a long
time since that last one,
since I really felt I could be
myself. I think I have given
too much. I've wanted too
much. It's not right to expect
the whole world to
get rosy. . ."And she pi eked
up a rock and cast it across
the water.
"There were times last
week when I felt like I
.couldn't make it to class,
when I felt the whole world
knew that I was hollow inside,
that I didn't even feel
enough to cry. I was a machine.
I just went through
the motions.
"For about two weeks
now," she said, with a soft
sweep of her skirts catching
in the wind. "I suppose it
all caught up with me. I
didn't really want to talk
about it. All the dorm girls
moan over their lost loves,
and somehow, their foolish
little affairs never have any
meaning. But then," she
said, "maybe they think the
same of mine."
A reflection came up in
the water at her feet-pretty
and much clearer than the
blurred, embittered image that
had often distressed her
friends.
In the wind and water of
another day, she was beginning
to look demure, almost
haunting, with her melancholy
beginning to diminish.
It was getting late when
we started back and I felt
that her burdened heart was
lighter, that she had said
what needed to be said.
The sun was shining on
her hair and she was beginning
to smile.
"Yes, I've been afraid
to think about love and what
it means," she said, "afraid
of consequence and fate.
I've been afraid to venture
out again because I don't
have much hope and I'm
really scared that something
might go wrong. I'm really
afraid of myself. That's not
very brave, is i t ?"
"But there are times,"
she said, "when I think all
the old hurts and agonies
are ready to be wiped away.
They get so big they suddenly
burst like a balloon. And I
really feel better. Can you
know what I mean?"
We walked back barefoot
in the cool, strong sweep of
the spillway water.
Criticism
Mr. Sandman Switches
His Traditional Role
By Susan foy
One wonders where Mr. Peter Sandman,
author of "Where the Girls Are" got his
wealth of misinformation and his attitude toward Southern
Puritanism.
Why did Mr. Sandman choose to pick Auburn's Cake Race
as an example of our student life, instead of ACOIA? Though
the cake race is an exciting redeems himself by his
brilliant insight: Auburn's
coeds are generally so good
looking that even the leftovers
are tasty.
And despite his derogatory
attitude, he is correct
that Auburn women are generally
more fitted for church
attendance than for party
attendance, although more
are to be found dancingSat-urday
night than singing Sunday
morning. They are certainly
more fitted for marching
down the aisle, at least,
than any girl at Princeton.
Mr. Sandman's satire of
the Alabama coed is another
case. She will have to defend
herself, though. Auburn is
fortunate to fare so well under
Mr. Sandman's biting satire.
Criticism of one's school
i s hard enough to take. It
seems to me that this
criticism would have been
more acceptable if it had hit
Auburn's problems and not
satirized non-existent virtues.
Criticism coming from so
reputable a school as Princeton
should have been more
informed and correct. But
perhaps Mr. Sandman's criticism
was colored by his
knowledge that his own
school has not yet progressed
to contemporary coed education.
Despite his attitude, Mr.
Sandman has hit some points
of our "Theoretical" personality
that definitely need
redefinition and clarification.
Maybe Peter Sandman will
open our eyes.
event, ACOIA would have been
more representative of Auburn's
growing role as a Uni-versity.
Editor's Note: This column
concerns the review of Peter
Sandman's "Where the Girls
Are" on page 1).
How could he claim that
most of Auburn's entertainment
is "planned recreation,"
when the apartment rule was
modified last year to allow
students to have impromtu
parties in their "homes."
How could he claim, with
clean conscience, that Auburn's
coed never drinks and
never wants to in light of the
present efforts to modify the
drinking rule? What would he
say had he been at nameless
parties and restaurants at-tendedby
some Auburn coeds?
How could Mr. Sandman be
able to distinguish between
the surface football, and
maybe highschoolish, Auburn
spirit and that which comes
only from a knowledge of Auburn's
history, her people and
most important, a belief in
herfuture. This deeperAuburn
spirit is not a hangover from
high school, but something
that comes only after living
at Auburn for three or four
years.
Where did Mr. Sandman get
his information that none of
Auburn's 12,500 students are
dissatisfied with the social
life at Auburn?
Though he missed the
mark in several of his satirical
comments, Mr. Sandman

Blood And Tears . . .
War's Toll Rises Daily
But We Can't Back Out
By Kay Donahue
I The price of victory in Viet Nam is a
«*- _ . _. _. J, dear one for us to have to pay. The cost
soars in the blood of youth serving their homeland and the
tears of those who are left behind to wait and worry. Is it
worth the price?
People have died and their loved ones have wept as long
as man has sought to be free ca instead of the coast of
from domination. Blood and
tears were spent that we might
enjoy the liberty and luxury
we possess today. But whw
must we pay the price and
why must it be now?
The Communist ideology is
motivated by one central aim-conquest
of the world. Though
it professes to seek a society
without classes which will
offer equality to all, the
examples of Communist domination
in eastern Europe show
this to be a snare to trap
hopeless people into grasping
the straw of promised good
times.
American support and defense
of South Viet Nam is
a longstanding obligation.
The conquest of this little
strip of land in Southeast
Asia is just one more tidbit
for the hungry giant who
wishes to devour the world.
We can't let it happen.
What do we care about the
fate of Southeast Asia, you
ask? The reply is simple.
We don't have to give a flip
about the whole Asian continent.
If we think only of
ourselves, the needed action
in that area remains the same.
Once the Reds get control
of an area for which they are
fighting, they move on to take
some more. Greedy folks are
like that. If we allow them to
take Southeast Asia, the next
selection on the menu could
be right on our doorstep. First
thing we know, the fighting
will be for the coast of Ameri-ieffers
To The Editor
Asia.
We have been richly blessed,
yet most of us are not aware
how lucky we really are.
Foreign wars have never
touched our soil. We are powerful
enough to feel relatively
secure in this uncertain world.
The agony of starvation and
disease and dire poverty is
something found in books for
the majority of our people.
The position held by the
United States in the world as
savior of the oppressed and
guardian of the threatened
necessitates continuation' of
action in areas such as Viet
Nam. Why us? Who else is
there with the power and capability
to handle such a
task? After looking at the
blessings which we enjoy it
seems rather ungrateful to
gripe about the price we are
asked to pay to keep these
blessings.
The hackneyed old phrase,
"war is hell," is an apt
description for such a state of
events. Death and sadness
and loss are not desired by
normal people yet there is a
place in life for them.
Blood and tears will continue
to flow for the safety
and freedom of that little strip
of land in far-off Asia. The
hawks and doves willcontinue
to debate the right and wrong
of the "conflict." But the
war will go on because we
cannot quit. The threat to the
future of the world will not
let us.

Involved Parties
Should Express
Union Suggestions
By lyn Scarbrough
The Union board has scheduled
an open meeting March
29 to allow students, faculty
and alumni to express their
needs for space in future
Union Building construction.
Individual students, as well
as organizations, have been
invited to attend.
The board
should be
commended for
its effort to
remedy the
crowded situations
which
now exist
in the Union
Building.
One hundred
and thrity-sixorganizationsare
presently
eligible for use of existing
facilities, which includes a
mere seven meeting rooms and
permanent space for only six
organizations.
The additional wing to be
located on the present site of
Alumni Gym will also alls viate
many difficulties. This project
is still in the long-range plan-stages.
But proper allocation of the
space is a necessity in order
to achieve the full potential
of the additional room.
Among facilities which
should be considered are more
meeting and conference rooms,
another photography dark room,
a small auditorium, additional
dining and snack space, and
a reading room.
In the past many qualified
groups have been unable to
use the building because all
available rooms were occupied.
An opportunity is now at
hand to correct many of these
problems.
But if the groups involved
do not cooperate with the
Union Board, the situation can
not be expected to improve.
Any organization which has
suggestions and does not use
this opportunity to offer them
will have no grounds to complain
in the future. «
Students, faculty, and alumni
who have an interest in the
use of the building should take
this chance to give recommendations
and suggestions.
The Union Building staff
and the Union Board does a
much more than adequate job
and they deserve the total
cooperation of the parties involved.
Now is the time to start
solving the problem. After
the building is completed and
the additional space is being
utilized, the time for solutions
and opinions will be over.

Student Criticizes 'Soggy' Drop And Add Period
Editor, the Plainsman:
How many of you "went
through drop and add" on Jan.
uary 6 and 9 still have memories
of soggy, cold feet or the
miserable feeling of wet wool
clothes or the unpleasant odor
of drenched people huddled in
line waiting for a class card?
How many of you thought,
"Those warm, dry administrators
sitting in their cozy offices
couldn't care less how
many times I have to slosh from
Ramsay to Commons to Tiche-nor
to Commons to Ramsay to
MaryE. Martin Hall to Samford
Basement to Mary E. Martin
Hall in an effort to schedule
a full load?" One administrator,
who places the welfare of
his more than 1200 pre-engi-neering
students first on any
agenda at any meeting, did
care; and, for that matter, he
he still does care.
Dr. Strong and Dr. Grady
Cox, Assistant Dean of Engineering,
paid a visit to Dr.
Wilbur Tincher, Director to
Educational Services and Mr.
Homer Fisher, Assistant Registrar
and discussed the
problem at length. Dr. Tincher
was concerned and promised
to bring up the problem at a
meeting of the Registration
Committee that same day. At
the meeting, student representatives
Jerry Brown and Charles
Bentley presented the students'
point of view. The Committe e
promised to do what it could
about effecting a centralized
card-issuing center in order
to eliminate much of the needless
walking.
Dr. Strong followed up this
by discussing the problem
with Dean Fred Pumphrey,
Dean of Engineering. He gave
Dean Pumphrey a memorandum,
outlining the reasons for
needing the central location
and asking Dean Pumphrey to
present the problem to the
Academic Administrative
Council at an upcoming meeting
when Mr. Fisher, Assistant
Registrar, was scheduled to
report to the Council on the
process of computer registration.
Dean Pumphrey did this.
Mr. Fisher's reply to Dean
Pumphrey was, "Oh, I thought
we had satisfied him on that
at the last meeting of the Registration
Committee.' When
Dean Pumphrey told Dr. Strong
what had transpired at the
meeting. Dr. Strong was a bit
embarrassed that he had asked
Dean Pumphrey to mention a
problem which had apparently
been solved already.
On February 28, the Registration
Committee met again.
Quickly, quietly, with almost
no discussion and without a
dissentingvote, the Committee
votedto continue the students'

of a central location for issuing
cards. When Dr. Strong was
asked why he didn't vote
against the motion when he
had been so opposed to it previously,
he replied, "I could
hardly afford to. Neither
of the two student members
(not Brown or Bentley)
of the committee voiced any
dissatisfaction at all. If either
had, I would have taken up
the battle. However, in fairness
to the student representatives,
I think they were new members
of the committee. If so, perhaps
they did not know enough
about the situation to voice a
complaint, I imagine that everyone
else there has been on the
committee for years."

Students Comment On Thomas Column, Mag Dorms, Stabbing And Chemistry
Auburn Males Placed
'In A Bad Light'
Editor, the Plainsman:
Miss Thomas has put the
whole male population' here
at Auburn in a bad light
because of what some girls
have said. She has aimed her
scorn at fraternity boys,
but frat boys are not the
only males at Auburn.
And speaking of the fraternity's
counterpart, the
sorority, is Miss Thomas
saying that sorority girls
are being exploited?
Let's face it, the "honest"
male that the Auburn "female"
is looking for is sharp
dressing, smooth talking, and
can't see past the pancake
makeup on his date's face.
As for being fooled, everyone
knows that a girl can be
fooled only when she wants
to be fooled. Miss Thomas
must be out in left field,
because I can't see her
from here.

beer anywhere in the state
of Alabama, unless he is
over 21 years of age." However,
this same freshman can
walk into several places in
Lee County and be served
that same beer.
Local law enforcement
officials show good judgement
in not enforcing the
so-called minor in possession
law. If one's drinking does
not disturb others, why should
the dormitories be concerned
with what he consumes in
his room.
However, if the management
of Magnolia Dormitories
takes it upon itself to enforce
Alabama laws, no matter
how trivial and unjust they
may be, all Alabama laws
should be enforced.
Title 14, Section 95 of the
Code of Alabama plainly
states that it is illegal to
sell, barter or trace cigarettes
to minors. The cigarette
machines in Magnolia Dormitories
do a booming business
with the below 21 residents.
So, Mr. Cotney, if you
counselors take it upon yourself
to enforce all rules and
laws of Auburn University,
and the state of Alabama, I
suggest that you post yourself
by the cigarette machines in
the dormitory and require
positive proof of age from
potential buyers.
In closing, it should be
remembered that Magnolia
Dorms exist for the student.
A great number of the residents
of the dormitory are not
satisfied with the management.
No long term lease
would be required if Magnolia
Dorms were made a suitable
place to live.

Student Writes Letter
But Refuses Reply (?)
Editor, the Plainsman:
Last week I and many of
my male counterparts had the
special pleasure of reading
about our lethal and predatory
habits in Miss Thomas' masterpiece
of journalistic insight-which
will surely go down in
the annals of literary history
as one of the most profound
insights into human nature
ever written.
Last year the female population
of Auburn was treated
to a similar tirade off the pen
of most honorable editor Brown.
This first editorial was greeted
with a howl of protest from the
more inane members of the
coed ranks who evidently felt
that such asinine generalities
should be graced with a defense.
Judging from this performance,
I feel sure that deep
down in her libelous little
heart Miss Thomas expects a
similar response from the less
responsible members of Auburn's
masculine set (which
will no doubt be the case).
Granted that constructive
controversy is a good thing,
but to expect a meaningful'
reply to a trite and meaningless
"editorial" is an insult
to the intelligence of your
readers.'

Student Criticizes
Use Of Picture
Editor, the Plainsman:
In reference to your article
on Feb. 23, concerning the
archery range stabbing, I
feel that it was unfortunate
that James Gunter's picture
appeared with the article.
Previously this picture had
not been released even by
the large state newspapers.
Not knowing many of the
details behind the incident
or of the people involved,
the Plainsman, it seems
would have hesitated to draw
such attention to the student
concerned, so soon. If acquitted,
the student's readjustment
to a normal life
could be complicated by the
fact that so much publicity
was given to him locally.
Living up to the standards
of a thorough and objective
college newspaper is an admiral
goal but going to such
an extreme at the expense of
a 4 fellow student seems
unjust.

in truth, they were only good-looking.
But no more! Your article
made me realize that while
I was a physically mature
and satisfied Auburn male,
I was intellectually immature.
It made me realize that I was
debasing myself by telling
those awful untruths (I feel
that lying is too strong a
word to use in this case);
and not only that, I was insulting
my date. She didn't
want to hear me say that she
was beautiful; she wanted
me to say, "Gee! If your nose
was straightened, you would
be good looking."
Yes! I have seen the light.
From now on, I am going to
be completely frank and
mature. I am going to be an
Auburn man. To get a date,
I am simply going to stop
the first Auburn coed I see,
tell her the truth about herself,
and what I expect my
date to do. If she hesitates
even slightly, I will walk
away because that will mean
that she doesn't know what
she wants. She is intellectually
immature, and I being
the mature Auburn man would
not want to debase myself
by dating an immature Auburn
coed.
Yes! Miss Thomas, you
have opened my eyes. The
next time I am up at that
hamburger stand alone, pondering
the question of how
so many intellectually immature
coeds could get into
an Alabama university; and
I see an Auburn male lean
over and whisper something
into his date's ear and then
see her giggle as they drive
t o . . . to where ever intellec-tually
immature Auburn males
take their dates, I will think,
"Poor soul, poor Auburn
male. You know not the joys
of intellectual maturity."

Chemistry Department
Editor, the Plainsman:
I am very weary of seeing
letters in this column criticizing
the department of
chemistry. Besides being
unfounded, these letters are
usually written by persons
who have a very limited
knowledge of the department
as a whole.
I, for one, shall be happy
to have the reputation of the
Auburn chemistry department
behind me when I am graduated
next quarter with a
degree in chemistry; consequently,
I do not believe
that the standards of the
department should be relaxed
for anyone.
While I am in the process
of writing, I would like to
add a comment about the
Plainsman policy of printing
letters and withholding the
names of the authors. I believe
that if a person has a
legitimate complaint, he
should have no fear or shame
in signing his name to his
letter.

iff Sports Editor
All-Star teams aren't worth the paper on which
they are printed.
I say this as one already predjudiced on the
subject. When Kentucky's Thad Jaracz made All-
America and third string All-SEC last year and
Lee DeFore of Auburn made first team All-SEC
and nothing on the All-America selections, my
views became slanted.
And the ommission of Bobby Buisson from the
Associated Press All-SEC team this year, was
unfair. There was no personal vendetta involved,
I'm sure, but not many of the voters saw Auburn
play and probably did not realize Buisson's true
assets.
Bobby could average 15 or more points a game if
he wanted to. But he chooses instead to be the
playmaker, a great passer, and an outstanding defender.
He would lead the league in " a s s i s t s " if the
SEC kept records of such. Auburn keeps "assists"
for personal records, but not many other schools do.
A close look at Bobby's defensive record proves
his merit.
He held Alabama's Mike Nordholz (21.2) to 10
points. He held Florida's David Miller (14.2) to
seven points. He held Louie Dampier (21.6) to 10
points... in Lexington even.
Ho Fluke Here . . .
And just to prove his Dampier defending was no
fluke, he held little Louie to 10 Monday night.
Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp hailed Buisson as
"one of the finest defensive players we've ever
seen."
Auburn coach Bill Lynn said Buisson is "the finest
guard in the conference."
But, AP doesn't agree and they make the selections.
Wrestlers Win 20th Title;

Wrestling Association Championship for the 20th time
Friday and Saturday in the annual tournament which

Egg In Your Beer...
Holy Cow, AP, what do you want?
Thus, "Bweetz" gets a dirty deal again. He led
the conference in field goal percentage last year,
and didn't make All-SEC.
He has made a great sacrifice. He could have
shot a lot and scored a lot. Then he would have
made it. But Auburn would not have made it.
The Tiger offense thrived on hustle and a deliberate
offense this year. There is no room for a
"gunner" on a team like that.
Bobby made a big sacrifice. And when he is
introduced at the Auburn- Alabama ga'me Friday night,
I will be disappointed if the Auburn cheering
section doesn't tear the roof off with cheers.
'Bweetz' Isn't Worried...
You'll not see "Bweetz" get too disturbed over
this injustice. That's the kind of a guy he is. He is
a team man.
After he's played his last game for Auburn, he
might remember the few bad passes, he threw. He may
even remember some of his great moments.
But Bobby Buisson will not complain about being
left off the AP All-SEC team.
That's just the kind of guy he is.

team placed in his weight

Despite placing seven
wrestlers in the championship
finals, Auburn had only one
individual champion, Bob
Atchison, senior team co-captain
in the 191 pound class.
"Being a champion means
a lot but this team, the boys
on it, and their spirit means
even more to me,'' said
Atchison in a team meeting
after the tournament.
This was Atchisons second
second straight SEIWA championship.
SOUND TEAM
In the same meeting coach
"Swede" Umbach said, "I
felt like we had a sound team
but no real exceptional wrestlers.
The spirit and senior
leadership of this group has
surprised me throughout the
season."
Looking toward next year
Umbach continued, "We ought
to have a real fine team next
year since we are losing only
two varsity boys to graduation.
This tournament gave our returning'
boys, especially the
six sophomores, a lot of valuable
experience.
Rick Umbach, the other

For Cage Loops
By JIMMY POOLE
The stage is set for the beginning of the playoffs
to determine the fraternity and independent basketball
champions for 1967.
The only fraternity league in which first and second
place is yet to be decided is league 4. Sigma Nu and
Kappa Alpha are tied for (either KA, AGR, or SN),
first with 5-1 records while
Alpha Gamma Rho is second
at 4-2.
Tonight at 9, SN and KA
meet to determine the first
place winner, and the loser
of this game will play AGR
tomorrow for second place
in the league and a place in
the playoffs.
OTHER LOOPS
In the other three leagues,
the first and second place
winners respectively were:
League 1, OTS and Theta
Chi; League 2 SAE and
Delta Chi; and League 3,
ATO and either Kappa Sig or
Phi Gamma Delta.
The first round of the
tournament will contain four
games with OTS meeting the
No. 2 team in league 4,
SAE playing league 3's
second place team (either
KS or PGD), ATO meeting
DC, and the top team either
SN, KA, or AGR) in league
4 playing TC.
LAST WEEK
In last week's action,
Stewart and Franklin scored
21 and 13 points respectively

Mankato's Loss Was Auburn's Gain
By MEL PULLIAM
Assistant Sports Editor
Ever heard of Mankato
State College? Tee Fair-cloth
hadn't either, until
he received a mimeographed
letter that offered him
one of the scholarships
that the Minn, college
had sent according to their
letter, "to the top 25 high
school basketball players
in the U.S."
Tee, then a high school
senior, didn't
bother to
answer that
letter, but
did investigate
offers
from every
SEC school
except Ole
R*--3. "In
„ , „ w . . . . high school,
PULLIAM K ? n t u c ky
was the greatest place to go
to play basketball," Tee
said. "Coach Davalos (then
with Kentucky, now with
Auburn) came down to talk
to me about Kentucky.''
"But, when the time came
to make up my mind, I decided
that Kentucky was just
too far away," Faircloth
said.
"I called Coach Eaves
(now Ga. athletic director)
and told him I wanted to
play at Auburn. My parents
didn't know until I told them
the next day."
WINNING HABITS
Faircloth's winning habits
in high school when he starred
for Ft. Valley High
School, making All-State
three years in football and
basketball, continued his
freshman year at Auburn.
That year, with teammates
Bob Buisson, Jim Montgomery
Randy Thomas, and Joe
Millsap, the freshman were
undefeated, with a 16-0
record.
The senior guard has been
a dependable asset to Auburn,
as his record attests.
He has played in every single
game that Auburn has participated
in, with the excep-of
one contest with Ga.
Tech.
Faircloth's height has
been the biggest disadvantage
in playing college ball, his
six feet just not tall enough
to cope with the larger
guards found around the
SEC.
GOOD ACCURACY
Tee's accuracy for putting
the ball in the basket is
unquestioned. He can drop-kick
it in when his eye is
right. As Auburn captain
Bob Buisson put it, "Tee
is the best long range shooter
on the team. And he's also
one of the best pressure-players
Auburn has."
A rash of injuries has
hindered Faircloth from having

and reads like an injury list
from a disaster area. Sprained
ankles, arches, even a cracked
bone in his little toe has put
Tee at less than full speed,
at one time or other.
He also has had to cope
with a back sprain, pulled
muscles, and a rare leg injury
that is usually reserved for
trackmen, according to trainer
Kenny Howard.
Faircloth has taken it all in
stride, however, and has definite
thoughts about his basketball
career. "I know I
missed a lot of college life,
with practice in the afternoon,
and studying at night," he
said. "But I ve seen a lot of
things, gone a lot of places'
seen lot of cities. And my
college education has been
paid for, so the sacrifice is
worth i t ."
FUNNY THING
Faircloth recalled probably
the funniest thing that happened
to him during his basketball
career at Auburn. "It was this
year when we were playing
LSU at Baton Rouge. We had
practiced the day before, and
when we headed for the game,
I saw one tennis shoe on the
floor and tossed it in my bag,
thinking the other one was

that would fit, and played in
them.".
Riley Column . . .
(Continued from page 6)
Tennessee head basketball coach Ray Mearsisa
bush leaguer.
Mears told a Tennessee radio audience after his
Vols beat Auburn Saturday night that the Auburn
student body was "obnoxious and arrogant."
He said Tennessee got a raw deal at Auburn."We
filmed the game to show the whole world the treatment
we got at Auburn," he said.
That treatment included a standing ovation forr
Tennessee's Tan Boerwinkle when he was injured.
How can he call Auburn obnoxious when his teams
have been involved in near riots?
Two years ago, the Vols slugged it out with
Florida and Vanderbilt.
Remember how a Tennessee player punched an
Auburn player last year while another Vol was holding
the Auburn player?
Mears criticized Georgia coach KenRosemondfor
using the stall when Mears uses it himself. He just
disguises it.
A pie-tournament banquet afforded him the opportunity
to point his finger at the Auburn team and say
how badly they were going to beat us.
And badly they did.
Tennessee Red Corpef...
A tournament is supposed to be run justly. Each
team should be given the same amount of respect.
When the teams were introduced on the court,
only Tennessee got the red carpet treatment...
you know the spotlight deal and all.
Humbug.
In the Tennessee-Clemson game, the Vols were
leading by 10 points with 10 seconds to play, and
Mears called time out to put in a scoring play to
beef up the score.
That's bush my friends.
And I might point out the not-so-humble attitude
of the Tennessee team, especially Ron Widby.
He's bush, too.

Just a personal note here for those who have
helped this quarter.
Assistant sports editor, Guy Rhodes, a bright
and upcoming writer, really pulled us out of a lot
of tough spots. And Ed Gouedy's colorful writing
livened up these pages. Let's not forget "Jungle"
Jim Dykes. He gave up his intramurals column to
help out in the office where these pages are made
or broken.
And to all the rest of the staff with which we
work and work and work thanks.

floor to lead the Tigers in
scoring 14 points as they
defeated Kentucky, 60-49.
In addition, he held Wildcat
Louie Dampier to ten
points-less than half his
;i.-season average-for the se-
&'cond time this season.
TIGER LOOK
Buisson's effort was
typical of the "Tiger look'
this season. The team that
was picked in preseason
polls to finish'seventh now
has a 16-8 season record,
an 11-6 SEC record and is
solidly entrenched in the
conference's fourth place.
The victory over Kentucky,
only the fourth for
Auburn in the last 18 seasons,
was the final home game
for four of Auburn's cagers.
Ronnie Quick, Joe Millsap,
Tee Faircloth and Buisson
have only the game with
Alabam a remaining in their
careers.
The Kentucky victory
came on the throes of a
54-45 defeat at the hands of
leading Tennessee. In that

The Tigers pulled to within
three points of the Vols
twice after being down by
ten at the half, but couldn't
keep the rally going.
BAD NIGHT
"We just had a bad
night," Lynn said after the
game. "We weren't moving
the ballgood, and we didn't
always take the good shots.
Had we had a good night
we could have beaten Tennessee.
But the ball just
wasn't bouncing our way."
Looking back over the
season. Lynn has been
pleased with the team's
effort and record.
"Sixteen games is the
most we've won since I've
been here," Lynn said
Monday night. "I think these
boys have given a great
effort every night, even
when they've lost.
"They'vegiven everything
they've got, and that's all
you can ask."
In four seasons as head
coach Bill Lynn has posted
a 64-41 mark; his SEC record
is now 41-28.

Have you seen the Navy on
campus lately? Chances are
that you have. The familiar
sailor hat and bell bottom
trousers, occasionally supplemented
by marine khakis or
greens, can be seen each
Wednesday scattered around
the Auburn landscape.
The people you see are not
midshipmen in the NROTC,
as they are quick to point out
themselves. Auburn is one of
the very few campuses in the
country sporting a particular
sailor or marine called a
NESEP. All of those initials
stand for Naval Enlisted
Scientific Education Program,
These men are petty officers
and non-commissioned
officers on active duty with
the U.S. Navy and the U.S.
Marine Corps who have come
to Auburn to get a college degree
in a fairly technical field
as a prerequisite to a commission
in the Navy or Marine
Corps.
The two services send their
NESEP to Auburn for four
academic years with full pay
and with a complete scholarship.
The men selected are
obviously top notch enlisted
personnel who have been chosen
by their service and approved
by the University.
The first NESEP came to

Volusia County, Florida
Our representative will be at the
Teacher Placement Office
on Friday, March 10, 1967
Auburn nine years ago, and
today the size of the group has
grown to 49. Over half of these
men maintain 2.0 averages or
better, but they still seem to
find time to participate in almost
every aspect of Auburn
life. NESEPs are members of
ODK, Squires, Phi Eta Sigma,
and every engineering, math
andphysics honorary society,
but they can also be found
teaching classes, helping in
labs, playing in or coaching
athletic teams, joining in Au-
Player productions, and even
skydiving.
The NESEPs completing
their work here this quarter
are typical of the program. All
are family men and fairly high
ranking petty officers, and all
are proceeding to Navy OCS
or Marine pre-commissioning
training. Richard Ashford is a
graduate student inmathematics
and is a member of Squires,
Phi Eta Sigma, ODK, and Delta
Upsilon social fraternity.
John Bilodeau, a marine sergeant
majoring in Applied
Physics, is a co-author of a
Physics paper for publication
in the American Physics Society
Journal. Lee Carpenter
and Ronald Norman are mathe-ma
tics majors who are headed
for two of the Navy's newest
destroyers after 16 weeks of
Officer Candidate School in
Newport, Rhode Island.
Though many of Auburn's
NESEPs have travelled around
the world and seen duty in
such places as Europe as well
as Vietnam, most of them are
enthusiastic "plainsmen." A
good portion of their number,
disguised in civilian clothes,
can be found contributing to
the famous War Eagle spirit
at any athletic event or campus
activity.
Navy Announces 5 Finalists
For This Year's Color Girl Steerage, the naval ROTC
honorary fraternity, has

If you thought Pontiac was coming out with just
another sports car, you don't know Pontiac!
Pontiac announces not one, two, three or four, but five magnificent new Firebirds for every kind of driving.
Now you can choose from five new Firebirds with the same advanced Pontiac
styling, but with five entirely different driving personalities. And they all
come with supple expanded vinyl interiors, wood grain styled dash, exclusive
space-saver collapsible spare, bucket seats, wide-oval tires and GM's
standard safety package.
Firebird 400. Coiled, under those dual scoops is a 400 cubic inch V-8 that
shrugs off 325 hp. It's connected to a floor-mounted heavy-duty three-speed.
On special suspension with redline wide-oval tires. You can order it
with a close- or wide-ratio four-speed. Or with our stupendous three-speed
Turbo Hydra-Matic. After this, there isn't any more.
These U.S. Air Force officers are
getting what they want out of life.
You can be one of them.
What are they doing? They are performing
a job of importance. Hour after hour. Year
after year. Many of them will serve for 20 or
more years. The fruitful part of a man's life.
Will yours be fruitful and creative?
Or just spent?
You're going to college to do something
i constructive, important. And you can be sure
of it, in the U. S. Air Force.
Start now in the Air Force ROTC program
on your campus. Your Professor of Aerospace
Studies will explain the variety of
•career opportunities. Pilot. Navigator. Engineering.
Science. Administration.
If you get in on it, you get paid to be part
of the most exciting technological breakthroughs
of all time. You'll become a leader,
an officer in one of America's most vital
organizations...the U. S. Air Force.
You can be part of the Aerospace Age
when things are most exciting... at the beginning.
While you serve your country, the
whole universe will open up to you.
There's a 2-year Air Force ROTC program,
and the 4-year program has new attractive
scholarship provisions.
Lots of men waste their working years.
But you don't have to be one of them.

Auburn Coed Wins
'Little Colonel'
Kandy Walker, a junior in
drama, walked away with the
regional title of "Little Coio-
Colonel" at the recent Arnold
Air Society Area Conclave in
Columbus, Miss.
Auburn's Arnold Air Society,
which is an honorary
for outstanding students in
Air Force ROTC, sponsored
Miss Walker in the contest.
She was competing with girls
from schools throughout the
South.
During the conclave the
contestants were first interviewed
by a board composed
of commanders of the Arnold
Air Societies from each school.
This board narrowed the firld
of seven down to two girls,
Miss Walker and the entrant
from Louisiana State University.
The members of Arnold Air
Society attending the conclave
then voted and selected the
winner.
This conclave was similar
to 17 which are being held
this year in Miami, Fla. on
April 23. From these 17 girls,
one will be chosen "Little
General."
Miss Walker contributed her
success to the support given
her by the 21 men of Auburn's
Arnold Air Society and six
coeds from Angel Flight who
attended the area conclave.

Debaters Take Part
In Two Tournaments
"After finally winning two
awards last week, the Auburn
Debate Team is now
about to shift into high gear,"
said Jim Vickrey, head debate
coach here.
The debate team will participate
in two tournaments
this weekend. Participating
in the Duke Coaches' Tournament
at Duke University
will be Mary Fisher and
John Schell, on one team and
Mike Peace and Bill Shealy
on the other. The coach will
be Mike Lipe.
The unusual feature of this
debate is that the winning
coach as well as the winning
team will receive a trophy.
This invitational tournament
is a switch-side tournament
in which both teams debate
both sides of the proposition.
The topic is "Resolved:
that the United States should
substantially reduce its
foreign policy commitments.''
The second tournament to
be held this weekend is the
Magnolia Speech Tournament
at Mississippi State College
for Women in Columbus,
Miss.
Debating the same proposition
for the affirmative side
in opposition with another
school team will be Judy
Walton and Fletcher Comer.
On the negative side will be

All four of these debaters
will participate in the other
activities such as poetry

"I anticipate that in these
two tournaments and the
others elft on our schedule
we will be able to bring to
Auburn the kind of recognition
that was received by
our outstanding debate teams
of last year," commented
Vickrey.
Two of the biggest tournaments
in which Auburn will
participate will be coming
up at the beginning of spring
quarter.
Auburn will attend the
National Delta Sigma Rho-
Tau Kappa Alpha (forensic
honorary) debate in Detroit,
Mich., for the first time.
It will take place March 30-
April 2. This debate is invitational.
The other is the Southern
Speech Association Debate
at Little Rock, Ark., from
April 2-5. All of the members
will attend one of these two
tournaments.
Future projects for the
teams will be a trip to the
Federal Penetentiary in
Atlanta to debate the team
there, and possibly a debate
series on Educational Tele-vision
this spring.
