Publications Matter
To Jurisprudence
By JUNE WALKER
Plainsman News Writer
Last week, the Auburn Student
Senate voted to submit to the
Jurisprudence Committee the
question concerning the consti­tutional
powers now held by the
Board of Student Publications.
The Senate will need this deci­sion
of the Jurisprudence Com­mittee
in order to better decide
what should be done concerning
the resolution passed by the Stu­dent
Publications B6ard to ap­point
editors and business man­agers
of student publications, in­stead
of having them elected:
Since the time of the submit-tance
of the resolution to the
Senate, four members of the Jur­isprudence
Committee have ex­cused
themselves from the Com­mittee
for this question — Hun-key
Law, Business Manager of
the Glomerata; Jimmy May, edi­tor
of the Glomerata; and Jim
Bullingtoh, editor of The Plains­man.
Mary Ann Pugh, since she
is not on campus this quarter, was
the fourth member who resigned.
The four people appointed by
Ford Laumer, president of the
student body, to fill the vacant
positions are Nancy Culpepper,
Lester Crawford, Horace Brady,
and Bill Lollar.
The Senate will now send the
resolution to Professor Metzger,
head of the Jurisprudence Com­mittee,
and he will set a definite
time for the Committee to meet
to consider the question of the
powers held at this time by the
Publications Board.

OTS, Phi Mil Lead Greek Averages
By JIM DINSMORE
r-'' Features Editor
Overall fall quarter averages for 1961 took a slight drop
from the 1960 figures, as Omega Tau Sigma and Phi Mu had
the best sehblarship among the fraternities and sororities res­pectively!
According to figures released by the Student Af­fairs
office, the undergraduate men's average slipped from a
1.234 of. I960 to,1961's 1.218.;
The all-college, average—includ­ing
grades of graduate students,
those taking correspondence"cour­ses,
and undergraduate students in
all phases of the Auburn curricula
—was released as a 1.485. The
overall men's average, including
yet and graduate students', was a
1.306. ; ;
Omega Tau Sigma retained its
hold on the number one scholas­tic
spot among fraternities and all
Greek groups with a 1.866 as com­pared
with last year's 2.004. Al-
Loveliest of the Plains
Council Of Deans Recommends
No Quizzes Preceding Final Exams
By HARRY WILKINSON
News Editor
The Council of Deans has endorsed a request that no
quizzes be given the last three days of this quarter. A recom­mendation
to that effect.is being issued to faculty members.
The request has been turned over to the Faculty Council for
final consideration and action.
Violators of the law will be sub­ject
to action by the president of
the student body.
According to Sophomore Sena­tor
Danny Paul who is sponsor of
the project, "The need for "Dead
Week" has stemed from a two­fold
source. On the one hand,
there are too many meetings,
dates, teas, etc. On the other
hand, there has been the increas­ing
problem of having too many
quizzes the last few days of each
quarter. We feel that action tak­en
thus far will enhance the scho­lastic
atmosphere at Auburn by
eliminating these two sources of
scholastic distraction.
However, we as students can­not
expect the faculty to support
this movement unless we show
good faith in carrying out our
part. For "Dead Week" to be ef­fective,
it will require full coop­eration
from both faculty and
students."
Council of Deans action on
"Dead Week" came as a result
of a Senate law providing for the
elimination of all extracurricular
activities by senate chartered or­ganizations
for a period of ap­proximately
one week prior to fi­nals.
Proper notice of exact "dead
week" dates are to be submitted
to all concerned organizations.
pha Psr, another professional vet
fraternity, took second place
among fraternities. The fraternity
showing the biggest improvement
over last year was Alpha Gamma
Rho,. which jumped' from a 1.165
to .a. 1.447 and a fourth place in
the fraternity, scholarship race.
, Phi Mu had a 1.87 average for
their active sisters — the best
among all Greek groups. This ^av­erage,
coupled with their second
place (among sororities) p l e d g e
average, gave them the best over­all
sorority scholarship average.
Alpha Gamma Delta, with the top
ssrority pledge average and the
number two active average, fin­ished
in second place.

Cardona is the president of the
Cuban Revolutionary Council in
the United States. Formerly a
teacher-lawyer in Havana, Car­dona

government under
Castro in 1959 and later was ap­pointed
Cuban Ambassador to

in 1959-1960 and then was named
Ambassador to the United States.
Immediately recalled from this
position, Cardona was forced to
flee Cuba. He escaped to the U.S.
by seeking asylum in the Ar­gentine
Embassy in Havana.
Cardona now coordinates the
activities of the various Cuban
revolutionary movements in the
U.S. from his Miami headquar­ters.
Cardona is a native of Havana
and holds two doctoral degrees
from the University of Havana.
He has published several works
on history and law and also has
received a number of honors and
decorations for his work in law
and for the Cuban government.

Campus Capers
Set For March 1
Campus Capers will be h e ld
March 1 with fraternities partic­ipating
and a second program will
be staged early in Spring quarter.
After only one sorority, Kappa
Delta, had voted to participate in
the annual event this quarter, it
originally was decided that fra­ternities
would go ahead with the
production without sorority par­ticipation.
However, a later vote
changed the plans and sororities
now will join in the spring pro­duction
on a date to be announced
soon.
At sorority meetings last Wed­nesday
night five sororities voted
not to take part in Campus Capers
at any time this year, while five
others announced, they would par­ticipate
if the event was postponed
until next quarter.-
According to Katherine Davis,
president of Mortar Board, and
Stan Sikes, president of Blue Key,
co-sponsors af the event, some
fra'terniyt groups already* have be­gun
practice on their skits. Other
details will be announced next
week.
LOVELIEST DOT SARRIS extends a warm greeting to all
on this Valentines day. Dot, a senior from Birmingham, has been
very active in campus affairs, serving as Superintendent of the
Union building this year and as chairman of Sorority Night during
Greek Week. She is a sociology major and is currently president
of Delta Zeta sorority.

Senate Approves Major Overhaul
Of Laws Governing Student Elections
By NAN PATTERSON
Plainsman News Writer
Several revisions of laws governing student elections have
been approved by the Student Senate, and will be placed in
temporary effect for the 1962 spring election, subject to the
vote of the student body at that time.
Most significant of the changes brought by the revisions
is the elimination of campaign pa- ; ' ;•-.. _
ed to mean car top signs. 12" by
20" will be the maximum size
allowable for any poster.
(5) No candidate may post ad­vertising
' in local business es­tablishments
or at any place off
the campus.
(6) No candidate or any sup­porter
of such candidate shall is­sue
any statement which is li­belous
or slanderous to any in­dividual
or organization, or to
the institution. The Student Board
of Election Qualifications shall
have final authority to render
a decision on all violations of
this regulation.
(7) There will be no campaign­ing
of any type on election day.
(8) No individual candidate's
campaign literature may be dis­tributed
through the mail or post
office facilities.
(9) The number of car top
signs the candidates for the var­ious
offices may use are as fol­lows:
Freshman, Sophomore,
Junior, Senior, and Fifth Year
Senators, 1; Secretary and Treas­urer,
1; Vice-President and Presi­dent,
2; Publications positions, 2;
Miss Auburn, Miss Homecoming,
2; individual school officers, 1.
All car top signs shall be placed
on Thach Avenue with the excep­tion
of individual school office
candidates .who may use the area
in which their respective schools
are located.
(10) Any time there is an in­fraction
of these laws by the
supporters of a candidate, it shall
immediately be brought to the
attention of the Superintendent
of Political Affairs, who shall
call a meeting of the Student
Body Board of Election Qualifi­cations
in order that they may
take appropriate action. This pro­test
must be entered before any
ballot box is opened for counting.
(11) Any time there is an in­fraction
of these laws by the sup­porters
of a candidate, it shall im-

rades, radio appearances by can­didates
in any capacity, and the
limitation of campaign material to
one style poster per candidate.
The revisions were formulated
by the Election Law Revisions
Committee, headed by Lee Grif­fith,
and composed of Bill Ward,
secretary; Brian Mitchell, Dell
Hill, Buck Thigpen, and John
Dickas.
The changes were made in or­der
to remedy the inadequacy of
previously existing laws. The re­visions
and new laws are as fol­lows:
Section 12. Any voter or can­didate
found guilty of unfair
practices at the polls shall be
subject to review by the Student
Body Board of Election Qualifi­cations.
Section 13. All candidates shall

Board of Election Qualification.
(1) Each candidate shall be al­lowed
to state his platform.
(2) The President of the Stu­dent
Body shall call and preside

the beginning of the campaign

day of elections.
(4) No candidate shall use any
type physical campaign material
either printed, stenciled, or hand
marked, other than one style of
poster. This poster may be placed
only on college bulletin boards
and no candidate shall have more
than one poster per bulletin
board. This is not to be constxu-

Civil War Exhibit
To Be Shown Here
A mobile U.S. Army exhibit de­picting
the military significance
of the Civil War and revealing
many little-known facts of the
period will be featured here Feb.
17-20.
The colorful and comprehensive
exhibit—produced by the Army's
Chief of Information, Washing­ton,
D. C, in collaboration with
the Civil War Centennial Com­mission—
not only points up the
valor of the war's heroes but also
shows how many Civil War in­novations
have contributed to the
nation's present military prow­ess.
Featured in the informative
display is an'electrically animated
diorama depicting Civil War
scenes, including the everyday
life of Union and Confederate sol­diers.
A motion picture presents other
Civil War highlights, and a series
of colorful orthorama depicts the
war's big guns—forerunners of
the Army's modern artillery.
One area of the exhibit pays
tribute to early America's patrio­tic
youth—many of them mere
boys—who enlisted as orderlies
and musicians. These dauntless
youths often managed to get into
action, valiantly fighting and dy­ing
with grown men.
The Army's never-ending
search for better ways of caring
for its wounded is emphasized in
an exhibit showing medical fa­cilities
and techniques 100 years
ago and today.
Interesting from both an his­torical
and an artistic viewpoint
are color reproductions of typi­cal
Civil War art subjects. Also
included are life-size murals of
the Civil War's most celebrated
leaders, Generals Grant and Lee.
U.S. Army information special­ists
will be on hand to answer
questions posed by exhibit view­ers.
There is no charge for ad-misison.

During the fall quarter of 1961,
a small group of students initial­ly
started what is known on cam­pus
today as The Auburn Uni­versity
Young Republican Club.
It came into being as a result of
a discussion by a few of the pres­ent
members who were in dis­agreement
with the present Na­tional
Democratic Administration
in regard to their local, national
and international policies. When
the Club was first organized
there was a grand total of 11
members. At the time of this
printing there are over 50 mem­bers,
and the Club expects to
reach the 100 mark by Spring
quarter.
, The Club's purposes are many
and perhaps can best be con­densed
into the following: (1) To
promote political awareness on
campus by collecting, analyzing,
discussing, and disseminating in­formation
concerning political af­fairs.
(2) vTo foster and encour­age
the activities of the Repub­lican
Party and promote its
ideals, and to aid the Republi­can
Party of Lee County. (3) To
help the individual realize that
the present Republican Party re­presents
what the "old" Demo­cratic
Party once stood for. (4)
To promote a Conservative Phi­losophy
which the members feel
can only be accomplished through
the Republican Party. (5) To
present to the individual the idea
that the great economic poten­tial
of the South can not be full-filled
if the tendencies of the
National Democratic Party con­tinue.
,
After a hard quarter's work
involving organizational proce­dures
and getting set firmly on
its feet, the club received its
charter from the Young Republi­can
Federation of Alabama. The
club's future activities include
the sponsorship of Fulton Lewis
III with the film Operation Aboli­tion
and conducting a political
seminar, both to be open to the
public. This quarter the Club is
assisting the Republican Party of
Lee County in conducting a tele
phone canvass.
Since the club has been or­ganized,
a few of the members
have been interested in express

UNITED WE STAND
The entire academic world is agog over the success of the
Associated Colleges Plan—ACP, for short. I mean, you go to
any campus in the country these days and you will see students
and faculty dancing on the green, blowing penny whistles,
grabbing each other by the elbows and yelling, "About that
ACP, Charley-like wow!"
And who can blame them? The ACP is a plan not only simply
brilliant, but also brilliantly simple. All it is, is a loose regional
federation of small colleges. Let's say, for example, that in a
given region we have a group of small colleges, each with its
own academic specialty. Small College No. 1, let's say, has a fine
language department; Small College No. 2, let's say, has a fine
science department; No. 3 has a fine music department; etc., etc.
Well sir, under the ACP these various colleges federate. A
wtudent in any one of the colleges can take courses in the spe­cialty
of any of the other colleges and—here's the beauty part!
—he will receive credit for the course at his home college. Thus
he enjoys all the advantages of a big university without losing
the comfy coziness of a small college!
Well sir, you can see what a good idea the ACP is. I respect­fully
submit, however, that just because a thing is good is no
reason not to try to make it better. Like, for instance, Marlboro
Cigarettes. Marlboros were good from the very beginning, and
people found out quickly and sales zoomed. But did the makers
of Marlboro say, "Okay, we've got it made. Let's relax"?
Well sir, if that's what you think, you don't know the makers!
They did not relax. They took their good Marlboros and kept
improving them. They improved the filter, improved the blend,
improved the pack. They researched and developed tirelessly,
until today Marlboro is just about the most admirable cigarette
you can put a match to. There are, in fact, some people who
find Marlboros so admirable they can't bear to put a match to
them. They just sit with a single Marlboro in hand and admire
it for ten, twelve years on end. The makers of Marlboro are of
course deeply touched by this—except for E. Rennie Sigafoos,
the sales manager.
But I digress. The ACP, I say, is good but it can be better.
Why should the plan be confined to small colleges? Why should
it be confined to a limited region? Why not include all colleges
and universities, big and small, wherever they are?
Let's start such a federation. Let's call it the "Bigger Asso­ciated
Colleges To Encourage Richer Intellectual Activity"—
BACTERIA, for short!
WWmJMMMM
What a. bright new world BACTERIA opens up. Take, for
example, a typical college student—Hunrath Sigafoos (son,
incidentally, of the Marlboro sales manager). Hunrath, a bright
lad, is currently majoring in burley at the University of Ken­tucky.
Under the BACTERIA plan, Hunrath could stay at
Kentucky, where he has made many friends, but at the same
time broaden his vistas by taking a course in constitutional law
at Harvard, a course in physics at Caltech, a course in frostbite
at Minnesota and a course in poi at Hawaii!
I admit there are still a few bugs in BACTERIA. How, for
instance, could Hunrath attend a 9 o'clock class at Harvard,
a 10 o'clock class at Hawaii, an 11 o'clock class at Minnesota,
and still keep his lunch date at Kentucky? It would be idle to
deny that this is a tricky problem, but I have no doubt American
ingenuity will carry the day. Always remember how they
laughed at Edison and Fulton—and particularly at Walter
Clavicle who invented the collarbone.
* * * © 1902 M M Shulman
Three cheers for American ingenuity, which gave us the
ACP, the collarbone and MOM... that's the Mighty Good
Makin's you get in Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the un­altered
taste. Settle back and enjoy one. You get a lot to like..

360 Winter Initiates
A nnounced By Greeks
Once again winter quarter has rolled around with itsjfor-mals,
basketball games, and cold weather. And for many of
the pledges of Auburn's 25 fraternities and 11 sororities, ini­tiation
time has also rolled around. During winter initiation
ceremonies, 360 former fall quarter pledges have been ele­vated
to the rank of brother or sister.
In order for a pledge to be ini
tiated into an Auburn - fraternity
or sorority, he or she must pass
certain minimum requirements,
including a grade requirement of
1.0. Also, the pledge must pass a
vote of the active chapter, and in
some cases must go through in­formal
initiation.
This quarter's list of new ini­tiates
includes:

Francis Powers Returns To Native Land
And Awaits Judgement Of The Citizenry
By W. H. Byrd
Mid-Quarter Deficiencies
DRILL OR BE DRILLED
Instructors have toiled, students have
worried, parents have been upset, and the
mails overburdened with hundreds of mid-quarter
missives of misery, known as de­ficiency
reports. Along with many others,
we fail to see any necessity for this tur­moil
and trouble.
If we grant the assumption that college
students have a reasonable amount of ma­turity
(and if they don't they shouldn't be
college students), then there is no reason to
treat them like children who can't look
out for their own academic affairs.
Do deficiency reports cause the indolent
student to bestir himself to renewed vigor
in the pursuit of learning? It is highly
doubtful. Almost any intelligent student
knows when he is failing a course, and if
there is any doubt at all, all he needs to do
is ask his instructor.
Why have deficiency reports? Already
overburdened instructors would do well to
devote themselves to such things as re­search
and preparation rather than filling
out hundreds of useless forms. Many times
we see a negative reaction as students be­come
discouraged and quit rather than
buckle down to work if they get a defi­ciency.
Moreover, the waste in postage, pa­per
and labor could be put to much better
use by the University.
We hope the Administration and faculty
will take a long, hard look at the question
of mid-quarter deficiencies. There seems to
be no real excuse for their existence.
A Confession Maybe???...
Alabama State Democratic Executive Committee Gives
Embarrassingly Revealing Resolution To American Posterity
By Ralph McGill
New Ideas In Spring Courses
With registration just around the cor­ner,
along with prosperity and spam in
every pot, the registrar's office has asked
us to print a few more supplements to the
catalogue for the student's convenience.
FLG. 101—FLUNKING OUT METHODS
AND PROCEDURES—No Prerequisites.
This course was recently added by the
University as an answer to rising enrollment
figures, in lieu of raising the curves of the
C-courses any higher. The course presents
several time proven methods for perma­nently
relieving students from the rigors
and stresses of college life. Included are:
"Let's Play Pool," "Extra-curriculars Can
Be Fun," "How to Sleep 24 Hours a Day
and Like It," "The Fringe Benefits of
Unionizing," "Study Can Cause Cancer"
and others. Up to three semesters of en­joyment.
NDAC 134—LIFE ON ANOTHER CAM­PUS—
Prerequisite: FLG 101 and adequate
transportation.
This course was added as a follow-up to
FLG 101. This popular survey course in­cludes
fieldtrips through the year to the
campus down south, where girls are girls,
and so are the stock. Courses include, "A
Man's Deodorant," or "The Complete
Verses to Rawhide," "Floor Plans of AC So­rority
Houses," "Effective Uses of Aliases,"
Palecontologists and archaeolo­gists
who work in the desert areas
of political and social sciences,
digging up curious and interesting
bones and artifacts of peoples from
other centuries, almost certainly
will come across a resolution
adopted by the State Democratic
Executive Committee of Alabama,
in a recent session in Montgomery.
This interesting artifact reveal­ing
much about the civilization of
its time, began as follows:
"Whereas Robert Kennedy, the
Democratic Attorney General of
the United States, who is also
sometimes known as "Bobby Boy,"
has displayed flagrant contempt of
the historic rights of the w h i t e
Democrats of the South and has
arrogantly flaunted and super­ceded
state and local laws through
In The Atlanta Constitution
a puzzling one. Not too long ago
Negro voters of Tuskegee w e re
gerrymandered out of participa­tion
in city elections. This later
was reversed by a federal court.
One wonders if this was a historic
right of Southern Democrats and
if the reversal of it explains the
attack on the federal .courts. The
resolution spoke of. local l a ws
"arrogantly flaunted . . . through
subversionary (sic) aid of some of
the federal judiciary."
Apparently the committee has
not yet learned that local laws and
rights cannot contravene federal
rights, held in common by all citi­zens.
At any rate, we urge all univer­sities,
colleges and high school

still attracts large numbers of enthusiastic

group singing provide a wholesome social

Leader," "Gaining the Offensive," "Ele­ments

Reason Rejects Dead Week /•
The overused, ineffective "Dead Week"
(with teeth) proposal has come back to its
quarterly attention. The idea is meritorious.
However, long inefficiency with this pro­ject
has shown that scholastic emphasis can
only be based on individual initiative. A
student knows to what degree he can or
cannot curtail social activities prior to fi­nals.
As for the Faculty Council ordering a
curtailment of last week quizzes, we are
biting the hand that feeds us. More grades
give a student a better indication of his
work. Some departments have tight sche­dules
which demand tests at the end of a
quarter on the last section of material.
Some instructors give last-minute quizzes
to prepare for their finals. And is there any
better or more demanding study procedure
prior to finals?
~ The university calendar for 1962 makes
provision for a full day of no classes prior
to finals. This gives ample time for prepa­ration
on a specific final. This seems to be
the only necessary "dead week" measure
that is needed.
' Finally, teachers have certain individual
and indestructive rights as regards their
classroom procedure. A "dead week" ulti­matum
could likely set a dengerous prece­dent
for usurping these rights at Auburn.
Good students and good study habits are
attributes for which no "dead week" can
compensate. It is hoped that the Faculty
Council will soundly reject "dead week" in
the better interest of themselves and their
students—Wilkinson.
A Cold Reception
The Robert Shaw Corale certainly got a
cold reception last Tuesday night: not from
the gratifyirigly large crowd, but from the
shivering cold in the antiquated, unheated
Student Activities Building. Those who
braved the arctic breezes were treated to
an outstanding performance, but their en­joyment
was considerably diminished from
constant suffering and vain attempts to
avoid frostbite.
A place for cultural activities is only one
of many reasons why Auburn needs a mul­ti-
purpose athletic building. Other uses of
this building would be varsity basketball,
registration, the physical education pro­gram,
graduation, conventions, and many
more.
We were gratified to learn that such a
building has third-ranking priority in new
campus construction. Furthermore, the ed-of
the federal judiciary; through
perversion of the FBI; and
through unlawful conversion of the
federal constabulary into an aerial
invasion of Montgomery; all for
the fanatically demagogic purpose
of wooing political favor of the
NAACP and CORE and their sav­age
kinsmen in the jungles of.
Africa . . ."
Curious Document
There is more of this heavily
labored effort to be cute and cun­ning.
The resolution is, from any
viewpoint, a curious, somewhat
childishly-petulant document*. One
must presume its framers are an­gry
because federal marshals pre­vented
an otherwise out-of-hand
mob from attacking a church
where Negroes were holding a
prayer session during the summer
race riots in Montgomery. Be­lievers
in states rights were dem­onstrating
by beating Negroes and
suspected white persons over the
head.
It was an exhibition of violence
and assault which later drew a
judicial force. The State Dem­ocratic
Committee surely did not
mean to imply the riot should not
have been controlled; yet, the
tone of their document makes the
reader wonder.
It is a most fascinating narra­tive.
The reference to "an aerial
invasion of Montgomery" is a case
in point. It means, one must as­sume,
some of the federal marshals
arrived by airplane. Montgomery
has an airport. More persons today
travel by air than train. There is,
then, an aerial invasion of Mont­gomery
. every day. Montgomery's
largest industry is a federal instal­lation,
Maxwell Field. It is an air
base and training school, including
a war college. Does the State Dem­ocratic
Committee wish the appar­ently
detested federal government
to close it up and move to another
section? There are many communi­ties
which would welcome such an
aerial invasion.
'historic Rights'
But, even more fascinating is
the phrase, "the historic rights of
the white Democrats of the
South." The committee seeming­ly
feels these have been held in
contempt.

Dear Mr. Editor:
From the tone of your reply
to last week's letter, you tend
to imply that from your source
of information, the student di­rectory,
I don't exist. From this
same source neither do John F.
Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, (no
relation) or Ralph McGill. From
my source of information, the
Fort Mudge & Vicinity Telephone
Directory, neither do you, but the
mere fact that someone down
there keeps printing up this ma­terial
is a firm foundation for my
faith, thank you.
From the "crusade for the
week" section, the Auburn Fes­tival
of Arts holds a case in point.
Those several hundred musically
inclined individuals who com­posed
the multitude attending the
Robert Shaw Chorale perform­ance
on that cold night of Feb­ruary
sixth had but one little
criticism of the presentation. This
was the unfortunate fact that
many could not see the stage due
to the condensation o'f warm
breath into a cold student acti­vities
building. During the even­ing,
thirteen cases of frostbite
were recorded while only six
music lovers swooned from pure
ecstasy (over the music, that is;
no other records were kept). This,
now, is a poor percentage to show
for such an emminent group, and
something should definitely be
done. Actually, over varying pe­riods
of time, something was
done. The heaters suspended from
the ceiling, formerly used to pro­vide
background noises for war
movies, were cranked up, (by a
janitor with a length of rope,
some said) and were run until
audience reaction was declared
unsafe.
Therefore, after discussing the
situation with associates, all of
whom may or may not exist, the
following suggestions for the Stu­dent
Ac Building, particularly
through the winter months, are
put forth:
(1) Make plans for a new
building — this idea is completely
out of line and riduculous, but it
looks good in print.
(2) Exist by donations — stu­dent-
supplied megaphones and
heavy draperies for insulation
and sound-batting raound.
(3) Improvis heating—through
new seating arrangements and
asbestos mats, students pan effec­tively
fight the cold on a bring-your-
own-firewood basis.
(4) Bundling was discarded by
the Student Center.
Students or other unidentified
personnel who have suggestions
may send them to the editor. I
don't want them.
Yours, somewhat indignantly,
Castleman J. Munro
The name of Francis Powers is
once again in the headlines, this
time under a more pleasant set
of circumstances. Many facts of
the case will come to light to re­lieve
or arouse, but there is still
a shrould of mystery about it all
which will probably never be
solved by the public.
Now that Powers has been re­leased
to his homeland and to
freedom, a comment seems in or­der.
The most appropriate that
comes to mind, however, is not
exactly fresh but nevertheless per­tinent.
From an editorial in the Novem­ber,
1960 Critique titled "No Time
for Martyrs" under this writer's
byline:
"For a long time to come, the
case of Francis Gary Powers will
be in the repetoire of common con­versation
pieces. It is one of those
speculative tidbits with such acou-trements
of side issues that it can
be bandied about from the class­room
to the back fence with a wide
range of soul-satisfying results. It
contains material for academic
volumes and pulp magazine expo­ses.
The press has reported it
faithfully but with a tone of mis­giving
that Francis Gary Powers
did not choose to become a mod­ern
day Nathan Hale. A great va­lue
of it, even from a purely intel­lectual
viewpoint, its that as a de­batable
item it is without solution;
none of us can look into the soul
of Francis Gary Powers and know.
"Public opinion about Powers
varies considerably; he is the dedi­cated
servant become- the victim
of circumstances; he is the epitome
of a waning loyalty to country on
the part of its younger generation;
he is a traitor; he's the average Joe
' worried about his own neck; he is
a criminal violator of security and
security agency procedure; he is a
loyal subject sold down the pro­verbial
river by his country; he is
a pawn in the propaganda war, a
victim of bungled policy; and so on
and so on. What Francis Gary
Powers does not seem to be, in the
eyes of his countrymen, is a hero.
"Our times demand a hero, a
real flesh and blood martyr;, •jand
we are a little disappointed in
Francis Powers that in the midst
of his enviable opportunity he did!. '
not choose to become one. But
there must be a rhyme and reason
to martyrdom, and they are such
to which our times are not especi­ally
conducive. Our nation does
not seem to have the definiteness
of purpose and aims that a cause
must have to inspire potential
martyrs; our social structure is not
such that the sacrifice of martyr­dom
is necessarily appealing; and
for this we cannot blame Francis
Gary Powers.
"We have only to recall the
bumbling, fumbling attempts of
our government to explain Powers'
capture, to be aware of the dis­organization
and lack of policy in­to
which we entrust the security
and safety of our nation. And we
cannot ignore the fact that the
same government that demanded
of him that he reveal only a name,
rank, and serial number revealed
him to the Soviet with the apolo­getic
admission that he was a paid
spy. Such inconsistency is hardly
worthy of heroics.
"We do not know, and prob­ably
will never know, all the facts
connected with the Powers' case.
We, have only a skimpy .report of
what transpired between Powers
and the Soviet, between our gov­ernment
and the Soviet, and with­in
our government; we have too
little by which to condemn or con­done.
But we must have an opin­ion;
and so we piece together a
thread here and a thread there,
tie them together with what we.,
think ought to be, and build a case
for or against Francis Gary Pow­ers
and try him in our minds, con­demning
all the while the mock
trial that sentenced him. to a very
real and very unenviable fate."
Thus spake this writer some 14
months ago. But today Powers is
free, at least in body.
There are a few things we might
add to that editorial of our infant
days as a sort of footnote to spec­ulation.
Our nation seems to have
a little more sense of purpose these
days, a little more organization
and direction. Chalk it up to the
New Frontier if you will, or call
it a major awakening. Whatever
it was, it brought Francis Powers
home to his wife and family.
Whether Powers now turns out
to be a hero or goat is yet to be
seen; it will depend upon the spirit
of the public who will judge him
for years to come.
If we try to judge Powers for
not acting like an Eighteenth
Century American fighting for in­dependence,
we will be ignoring
the circumstance in which 'he .was
a Twentieth Century man fighting
in an obscure war of words and
ethereal ideologies. But then our
judgement has a nasty habit of>
ignoring a lot of things. This wri­ter
does not envy Francis Powers
in the least, as he is laid at the
feet of his fellow citizens for their
supreme judgement.
Candor And (ndiqnarion
Come To Focus
Editor, The Plainsman:
I write in all candor and indig­nation.
Last week Mr. D. C. Hux-ford
took time to write a thought­ful
letter expressing his concern
with the one-sided liberal view­point
which dominates this page.
His concern is well founded and
is shared by many people — stu­dents,
faculty, and alumni. In
return for his letter, Mr. Hux­ford
received a childish refer­ence
to read "Little Orphan An­nie"
if • he desired conservative
reading.
Let me. review the background
which compelled Mr. Huxford
to write his letter.
Since the beginning of the Win­ter
Quarter, highly liberal stands
have been advanced by The
Plainsman in two weeks — in a
weekly article by Mr. W. H. Byrd
and in the editorial column.
I will first review some of Mr.
Byrd's distortions. On Jan. 10,
Mr. Byrd's article pooh-ppohed
the idea that there is one bit of
Communist influence present here
at Auburn. The following week
Mr. Richard Lane, in a letter to
the editor, published a percep­tive,
well-documented refuta­tion
of Mr. Byrd's article. Mr.
Byrd apparently deemed it wise
to ignore Lane's charges, as he
has not yet answered them.
On Jan. 17, Mr. Byrd's article
delt with the decline of American
patriotism. The tone of Mr. Byrd's
article suggests that America
may not be worth fighting for, as
he is quite consciencious in enum­erating
the social ills present in
this country, while no mention
is made of the inumerable things
we have to be proud of. Certain­ly
our society is not without de­fects,
but the social injustices
maginfied by Mr. Byrd stand
small when compared with the
strength and the beauty of the
framework upon which our coun­try
rests.
In the editorial column, one­sided
articles have appeared call­ing
for increased federal inter­vention
in education, singing the
praises of the United Nations,
Challenge In Creating ...
'To Hell With It' Movement Evidenced;
Abolition Should Promote Improvement
By Jim Dinsmore
The great new "to hell with it"
movement is sweeping the Auburn
campus. Already it has swept
through the minds of the vast ma­jority
of Auburn students and Au­burn
leaders. So it is that everyone
is saying that they don't like the
way things are and they want a
change; and, finally, the so-called
leaders are taking some action:
they just say "to hell with it," "do
away with it." And that's that.
Only it isn't really. Because if
the trend continues there won't be
much student accomplishment left.
And our good political leaders
won't have many projects w i th
which to test out future political
leaders, unless they begin judg­ing
leadership on the criterion of
who can yell "to hell with it" the
loudest. The negative attitude
everywhere prevalent will serve
only to lead Auburn into a deeper
hole .
Village Fair was killed, appar­ently
for good. Whereas the
thoughts of the Village Fair com­mittee
seemed to run along the
lines of "let's discontinue it for one
year, start from scratch and build
one that is really worthwhile," the
along with damning the right-wing
(conservative) movement.
These are the kinds of articles
which have Mr. Huxford and
many others concerned. And
when they express their concern,
I feel that you step beyond the
bounds of propriety in answer­ing
such charges with shallow
references to comic strips.
The letters to the editor section
of this paper should serve the .
function of an open forum, in
which students can express their
concerns without the Tisk of em­barrassment.
'
Mike Plunkett
'The Reader's Digest" maybe?
—Ed.
feeling of the campus seems to be
"Village Fair is gone; good rid-ance."
It was easy to say "to hell
with Village Fair," but the real
challenge comes in creating some­thing
to take its place. This is a
challenge given to our leaders.
There are those that are saying
we should do away with Greek
Week. Well, Greek Week, as it is,
could, perhaps, use some improve­ment.
In many cases (particularly -
the Greek Week dance, when sev­eral
Greek groups decided to have
parties of their own) there was a
lack of participation. But to say
that we should get rid of it is an
over-simplified solution that only
a person who was accustomed to
continual sitting would adopt.
Some of our good sororities have
come through with flying colors to
demonstrate their part in the "to
hell with it" trend. Five of our
full-of-acc'omplishment sororities
have decided that Campus Capers
is just too much trouble for them,
that it doesn't have any purpose,
that it comes at the wrong time;
and they have given a host of oth­er
female rationalizations. So these
few have decided that, by gollv,
they'll just say "to hell with it" in
nicer terms. So they took the easy
way out. And regardless of wheth­er
their reasons for dissatisfaction
with Campus Capers are valid, it
still remains that instead of trying
to make the present Campus Ca­pers
into what they think it should
be, these sororities have taken the
negative attitude.
The way I see it, we might as
well do away with the administra­tion
as it is, the students as they
are, and all of us retreat into nega­tive
shells which might be firecj '
by the high-powered U. S. artil­lery
into the Soviet Union. Maybe
if we could spread our negative
attitudes to the Russians we would
not have to worry abuot them so
much.

Physics Grant For
Summer Quarter
AU Senate Submits
A grant of $4,306 to support
four seniors in undergraduate
physich research this summer is
being made to Auburn Univer­sity
by the National Science
Foundation. Director of the pro­gram
is to' be Dr. Howard Carr,
head of the Auburn physics de­partment.
Participants for the program
will be invited from Auburn and
from the liberal arts colleges in
Alabama. Working in mixed
pairs, the students will do r e ­search
on the two following prob­lems:
1. The design and installation
of a pair of quadruple electro­static
lens for focusing the ions
derived from a conventional mass
spectrometer ion source.
2. The preparation and use of
iron samples in the Mossbauer
effect.
Dr. Carr said the students will
"be allowed to take up to a maxi­mum
of five quarter hours of ad­vanced
work in physics or math­ematics.
They will spend at least
34 hours per week in their re­search
activity. In addition they
will attend the Friday afternoon
Physics Colloquium and the lec­tures
of visiting lecturers.

6—THE PLAINSMAN AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1962

Another Name Change?
It has been a little while since we received in our office a letter
advocating another name change at Auburn. Now that we are no
longer Alabama Polytechnic Institute there are those parties who feel
that the athletic team should undergo a similar modernization. ;
More specifically this is—Tigers to Eagles.
Among the proponents of such an alteration is one Earl Tucker,
noted Alabama writer and columnist. Tucker said in a column which
appeared in the Mobile Press-Register way back in December, "I look
at it this way: the Auburns go around yelling 'war eagle' at all their
games and it makes it powerful hard to explain how an eagle got
mixed up in the yell. You never heard the Auburns yell 'war Tiger'."
Ever Heard, "War Tiger?''
Now ol' Earl has a point here, I never did hear anybody yell "war
tiger." And furthermore I don't care if. I never hear anybody yell
"war tiger." But should this be a basis for changing the name? Well
ol' Earl has some more to say about it.
"In the first place, Tigers are not native to the American conti­nent
and the only place one ever sees a tiger is in a show or a zoo
and the ones you see at those places are old, wornout, beat-up tigers
with all their teeth gone and their hair falling out. All they could do is
to gum you. Of course, there's aren't a hell of "a lot eagles flying
around either but there are some and they are found on this conti­nent.
In fact, Auburn already has an eagle and they don't have a t i ­ger.
It has been a long time since they owned a tiger and lots of par­ents
wouldn't let their daughters go to Auburn at that time on ac­count
of they feared they might get tiger-bit."
Ol' Earl Wants Action—
Anyway, Ol' Earl, being a good and true Auburn man, talked to
a few people about the idea and met with favorable response and
even went so far as to call the governor of this state to see what could
be done about it. It seems that Montgomery was reluctant to talk about
it and the governor was busy and they thought Earl was some crack­pot
or something so nothing happened and thus the column to try to
stir up some action. A reader of Earl and an advocate of the change
was kind enough to forward the column to this paper with the sugges­tion
that maybe something could be done from this side.
Ol' Earl thinks we should have a vote by the students and if the
vote was in favor of the Eagle he thinks a huge metal eagle should
be made and mounted somewhere on the campus. "Us Auburns will
certainly be a jump ahead of the University of Alabama. They sure
can't figure out a way to mount a Crimson Tide."
How About You?
Well, now that we have all this said, I wonder just what the stu­dents
do think of changing the name of our Tigers to Eagles.
Myself, I favor the multiplicity of titles simply because it makes
the sport's writer's job easier. I like to yell TI-GE-RS, but Plainsmen
and Eagles would be enough for me. How about you?

Auburn Defeats Florida
By 64-60 Count Monday
By CHARLES McCAY
Plainsman Sports Editor
The. Auburn Tigers had to come
from behind after intermission
to avenge one of the two confer­ence,
defeats in the Sports Arena
Monday night. The score was 64
to 60, The victim was the Univer-eity
of Florida.
Led by the. beautiful lay-ups
of Billy Tinker and the sensa­tional
jump shots of Larry Chap­man,
the Plainsmen overcame a
30-34 halftime score to hand the
Gators their ninth loss of the sea­son.
They have won eight.
The game was nip-and-tuck
right down to the final moments
of play. Auburn's big break came
with two and a half minutes left
as Big Layton Johns, who had
one of his best of many good
nights, dropped in a two pointer
to put the Tigers in the lead at
61 to 60. This would have been
enough as it turned out, but to
add a little padding, Chapman
sank three free throws — the last
a result of a technical foul called
against the Florida bench. With
this it was all over but the shout­ing.
Auburn-slowed the game down
AU Conservation Club
To Show African Movie
On Monday, Feb. 4, approxi­mately
30 students met to form the
Auburn Conservation Club. The
aims of the club will be to pro­mote
conservation, encourage full
use and protection of fish and wild
life, and to promote marksman­ship.
;
Two committees were formed to
study and make recommendations
on hunting and fishing in the Au­burn
area. Currently the commit­tees
are investigating the possibi­lities
of a private club managed
fishing pond and hiinting areas.
It was announced by Glen Moh-ler,
president pro-tem, that a color
movie on an African safari will be
shown in the projection room near
the library at 4 p.m. on Wednesday
and Thursday, Feb. 14 and 15. All
students and faculty are invited.
The club was led by Mohler and
Mr. Paul- Mattox, faculty spon­sor.
The next meeting is scheduled
for Thursday, Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. in
302 Samford.
considerably in the last minute
and even though Florida commit­ted
two. errors in' do or die a t ­tempts
to steal the ball, the Tig­ers
were unable to capitalize but
the happy deed was done.
In gaining their fourteenth win
of the season the Tigers continued
to show good offensive strength.
Johns led the individual Tiger
scoring as he pushed in eight
field goals and five bonus shots
for a total of 21 points. The big
boy was closely followed by
Chapman who racked up 19. The
remainder of Auburn's scoring
was divided amongst Mac Kirk-land
and Billy Tinker with 10
points each and Bill Ross and
Johnny Blackwell with two
apiece.
For the Gators it was Cliff
Luyk, the 6'7" center. He scored
the game high in points—26, and
pulled down a total of 10 re­bounds.
Luyk was followed by
Tom Barbee and Lou Merchant
with 11 points apiece. Taylor
Stokes had five, Carlos Morrison
4, and Bud Bales 3, to round out
the scoring for Florida.
Not only was Johns hitting the
basket with regularity, he was
also the terror of the backboards
Monday night as he grabbed off
17 rebounds and was way ahead
of the rest of the field in this de­partment.
In total rebounds, Au­burn
had 36 and Florida 35.
The difference in the game was
the fact that the Tigers shot five
more times from the field than
the Gators. Although the percen­tages
favored Florida (41.5 to

Eavesmen To Hit Road Saturday;
Meet LSU Bengals, Tulane Greenies
By WAYNE CHANCEY
Plainsman Sports Writer
Next in line for the Auburn Cagers will be LSU and Tu­lane.
Both will be SEC games, and a couple of conference
victories will mean a lot to the Tigers in their bid to finish
high in the standings.
Coach Eaves will take his Tigers
to Baton Rouge Saturday to tangle
with the Tigers of LSU. Last year
Auburn sneaked past LSU by on­ly
69-65, but in the Birmingham
Classic in December the Plainsmen
won by a convincing margin of
67-50.
The Tigers from LSU are led
primarily by George Nattin and
Maury Drummond. Nattin, a 6-0
senior guard, was AU-SEC in '61
and does a lot of scoring for LSU
at present. Drummond is a 6-7,
220-pound junior, currently lead­ing
LSU scoring with a 16-point
average. He also reigns as rebound
king for his Tiger team.
Before the current season began,
LSU, coached by Jay McCreary,
was picked the team to finish third
in the SEC. Although somewhat
disappointed in this respect so far,
the Tigers have pulled out some
important victories and cannot be
taken lightly.
After the LSU battle, Auburn
will travel to New Orleans to meet
with the Green Wave of Tulane on
Monday. The Tigers will have to
face the leading scorer in the SEC
in Jim Kerwin. A 6-3 Junior from
Long Branch, N. J., Kerwin is
averaging 23.3 points a game. He
lives up to his '61 reputation when
he was sophomore of the year in
the SEC.
Jack Ardon and Wayne \Pearl
also stand out on the hardwood for
Tulane. Ardon, a 6-9 senior, was
All-SEC in '61 and is averaging
17.5 points a game. Pearl is a con­stant
scoring threat for the
Green Wave.
Tulane's 6-4 sophomore, Mike
Milholland, failed to make his
grades and was recently dropped
from school. Tulane's coaching
staff had great expectations for
Milholland and he was coming
along fine. His loss will hurt Tu­lane
considerably, but the Tigers
will have to go some to beat the
Green Wave in New. Orleans.
NOTICE
There will be a meeting of all
men interested in varsity and
freshman tennis at 4:00 p.m. today
at the varsity tennis courts. The
meeting will be held in the base­ment
of the field house.

TU 7-3811
By DAVE WALL
With big Layton Johns hitting 17
points and grabbing 12 rebounds,
the Auburn Tigers rolled to an
easy 73-49 victory over Georgia
Saturday night. Johns bucketed 16
of his points in the first half but
Billy Ross took up the slack in the
second period and wound up with
15 for the night.
All five Tiger starters scored in
double figures but the Bulldog's
spunky guard, Allan Johnson, stole
the show as he meshed 21 points
for high individual score of the
evening. Finding the Auburn zone
defense too tough to penetrate, the
little man simply went over it with
long jumpers from all over the
floor. Needled excessively by the
partial home crowd, Johnson still
managed to hit 10 of 20 shots from
the field and canned his only free
throw attempt.
Auburn dominated both back­boards
as they snatched 47 re­bounds
to 25 for Georgia. Carlton
Gill was tops in the rebound de­partment
with eight and was the
only other Dog in double figures
with 10.
Tiger rebounding and sharp
shooting simply outclassed that of
Georgia as they meshed an amaz­ing
74.7 per cent from the field
in the first half and 88.3 per cent
from the foul line. They managed

Tiger Baseball Practice Begins
Under Direction Of Coach Russell
By JIM BACHUS
Under the direction - of Coach
Erskine Russell, the Auburn Tiger
baseball squad began preparation
for the 1962 season Monday, Feb.
5. '
The Tigers, last years' Eastern
division champions, have their
eyes set for the 1962 Southeastern
Conference title. Last-year, Au­burn
dropped two heartbreakers
to LSU in the SEC playoffs.
Practice Monday and Tuesday a
week ago was slow for the Tigers.
Coach Russell devoted both days
toward fundamentals and condi­tioning
as everyone tried to work
out the sore spots. Wednesday,
things got into full swing as the
Tigers began to shape themselves
together. For the majority of the
boys Wednesday was the first day
they had seen a baseball since last
Spring. Batting practice was slow
and hard. Some had a hard time
fielding for the first day.
Thursday however, things picked
up. The Tigers started to "get
their eye on the ball" and batting
practice improved 50 per cent. One
Tiger hit like-he could point and
tell the ball where to go. In three
swings, he put two against the
fence 335 feet away and one "in
the pines" some 350-360 feet away.
This was Bill Breakfield.
There is going to be some keen
competition for the first nine po­sitions
with only three regulars r e ­turning
f r o m last years' team.
Coach Russell pictures Wayne
Flower, Otis Bibb, Jim Martin,
Ronnie Dempsey, Gary Chafin, and
Ronnie Duncan in the infield with
Larry Nichols, Jim Bachus, Rich­ard
Seamond, Ed Jones, and Tandy
Gerelds holding down the outer-garden.
The catchers consist of Vic
Sevetlay, Bill Turberville, James
Green, and Bill Shepard. The
pitching staff includes Jim Boyd,
Bill Breakfield, Larry Dempsey,
Joe Overton, Tommy Pope, Gay-den
White, Bob Schremser, Dennie
McDuffie, and Smiley Nichols.

Auburn Matmen Trounce Crimson Tide;
Big George Gross Leads 38-0 Victory
By BOB MAYFIELD
The Auburn matmen met and
trounced the University of Ala­bama
Wrestling team last Friday
night in the Sports Arena by the
overwhelming score of 38-0.
The perennially tough Tigers
made mince-meat of the Red Ele­phants
by decisively winning every
event. This was Alabama's t h i r d
meeting with the Tigers since they
entered the Intercollegiate wrest­ling
field last year, and it was Au­burn's
third straight victory over
their cross-state rivals.
The highlight of the meet was
the final match which pitted
heavyweight George Gross against
Rowe Hall. Gross pinned Hall in
two minutes and 12. seconds to^end
the meet and polish off the em­barrassing
skunk.
As the Plainsman went to press
yesterday afternoon the Auburn
wrestling team was preparing for
their match last night with a strong
University of Chattanooga1 'rhat
team. '• '>>
After the Chattanooga match the
matmen will not face another op­ponent
until Feb. 19, when the
boys of. the Crimson Tide will have
a chance to avenge themselves if
they possibly can.
One man that will be there to
prevent any such incident will be
big George Gross. George, who is
prepping for competition in the
National Collegiate Athletic As­sociation
mat tournament, has been
the Southeastern Conference
heavyweight champ for the past
two seasons, and is undefeated this
season.
"George has everything it takes
to be a national champion wrest­ler,"
says Coach Swede Umbach.

with his size and weight, and we
think he has the potential to en­ter
the NCAA tournament."

Mississippi State Upsets Kentucky;
Win 49-44 On Cats' Home Ground
By GORDON MURPHREE
The Mississippi State Bulldogs
pulled the sweetest upset of the
:season Monday night when Coach
Babe McCarthy's boys beat the
Kentucky Wildcats in their own
backyard by the score of 49-44.
Leading 28-22 at the half, the
Bulldogs never let the Wildcats get
any closer than two points. Seve­ral
times during the crucial l a s t
minutes, State players broke down
the lane for easy lay-up shots. Fine
ball handling and good overall
shooting was just too much for the
favored Wildcats.
Kentucky's brilliant "Cotton"
Nash led all scorers with 23 points.
Red Stroud was high man for the
-Bulldogs with 17.
Meanwhile, over in Auburn's
Sports Arena, the Auburn Tigers
were winning their seventh con­secutive
basketball game by down­ing
the Florida Gators 64-60.
The Tigers started off slow and
were behind 34-30 at the half,
mostly because of the fine inside
shooting of Florida's big center,
Cliff Luyk. '
Fine outside shooting by Tiger
guard Larry Chapman and strong
rebounding by big Layton Johns
and a timely technical foul called
on Gator head coaoh Norman
Slone did the Gators in.
Johns was the leading scorer for
•the Tigers with 20 points followed
by. Chapman with 19. Luyk was
high man.for the Gators, ripping
the net for 26 points.

night, the Georgia Tech Yellow-jackets

Auburn rAr Club
To Sponsor Game
For War Eagle III
By CHARLES McCAY
The*. Auburn "A" Club will
sponsor a basketball g a m e be­tween
the fraternity intramural
all-stars and the Auburn Fresh­man
team. The game will be
played in t h e Sports Arena on
Tuesday night, Feb. 20. Tip-off
time is 7:30. Admission is 25
cents.
All proceeds of this game,
which is the beginning of an an­nual
affair, are earmarked for
War Eagle III, the Plainsman's
mascot. The purpose of this part­icular
game is to raise money to
build a new cage for the bird.
The fraternity all-stars will be
coached by J im Douglas, a mem­ber
of the A-Club and an a l l -
SEC baseball player. Douglas was
a starter on the Auburn Fresh­man
basketball team 'before he
chose the diamond as his athletic
route in college.
Eight of the players on the
all-star team played freshman
basketball here and two of them
played two years on the varsity
Squad. Joe Woods and Gusty
Nordgren played varsity ball af­ter
starting as freshmen. Others
on the team with freshman ex­perience
are John Darby, Tommy
Stone, Burton Case, Smily Nich­ols,
Ben Easterling, and Randy
Bridges.
Nichols and Bridges were start­ers
on last year's frosh squad.
Darby and Woods were high
school all-state selections.
The Auburn Freshmen have
won 10 games and lost only one
this year. Last week they aveng­ed
their only defeat of the sea­son
by trouncing Georgia Tech
in the Sports Arena by the score
of 69 to 67. All five starters on
the freshman team are averag­ing
in double figures in points
per game. They average 6'6"
across the front line.
The Baby Tigers are expected
to go with Big Joe Newton at
center, Lee DeFore and Freddie
Guy at the forwards and Billy
Biles and Ronnie Baynes at the
guards. They are coached by Por­ter
Gilbert.

AUBURN CAPTAIN Bill Ross exhibits expert ballhandling
in the' Tigers' 74-39 rout of Georgia Saturday night. Ross swept

WHAT IT WAS was not football when the Plainsmen met
Florida Monday night, but it was something akin to a gridiron
match at times like this during the evening. Mack Kirkland and
a few others are getting in on the action.

! One League Untied In Frat Bowling
As Keglers Vie For Play-Off Positions
By BOB MAYFIELD
Intramural Sports Editor
I Intramural bowling is in a
pig tie-up. Only TC stands un­ified
and undefeated in League 4
while the lead in Leagues 1, 2,
and 4 are split between two and
three teams. TC fought past OTS
this past week to raise its won-lost
standing to a 4-0 unblemish­ed
record. League 1 has a three-way
tie involving PICT, SN,. and
KA, while Leagues 2 and 3 are
being sought after by EDT (4-1)
and SP (4-1) and DTD (4-1) and
DC (4-1), respectively. Bowling
winds up this week and the play­offs
should begin in the near fu­ture.
In the four dormitory bowling
leagues the leaders are: league
1, Div. 1; league 2, Div. K; league
3, Div. C; league 4, Div. U. Each
of these teams has a perfect 4-0
record. .
Dormitory and independent
basketball had some hair-raising
games this past week. The Zom­bies
continued their winning
•streak by downing the Auburn
5 in a thriller, *52-50. Day led
the Zombies with 25 points. In
other games, the Hubs downed
the Kings Men 48-45, and the
BSU, behind Nix's 19 points, de­feated
Wesley 49-45. Division B
won their game over S-2, 46-36,
with Nichols leading all scorers
with 26 points while Division A
trounced Division S, 60-27. The
closest game of the week was be­tween
Divisions E and V, with E
emerging the victor by a scant 35-
31 score. - :
In fraternity basketball, the
four leaders remained the same.
SPE, SN, and PKT all won their
games last week.

GUARD LARRY CHAPMAN belies his height and soars high
to fight for a rebound in the Florida game. He didn't get this one,
but he hit often and well from the outside to lead the Tigers to a
close 64-60 win over the Gators. • ; •

Percentage Slips
Against Florida
The Auburn Cagers slipped a bit
against Florida Monday night but
are expected to remain high in na­tional
statistics rankings. The Ti­gers
had the third best team de­fensive
record going into Monday
night's match as their opponents
were averaging 50. 9 points a game.
Florida's burst of 60 points mov­ed
this average up to 51.4 points
a game, but this will probably not
seriously alter the Tiger's position.
Layton Johns was ranked second
in the nation in individual f i e ld
goal percentage with a 59.5 be­fore
the Gator tussle, but the big
boy had an "off night" when he
canned only 8 of 18 attempts to
lower his percentage to 57.9. Johns
made up for this as he grabbed 17
rebounds and dumped in a total of
21 points.
Auburn also was leading the
SEC in field goal percentage and
defense with a 46.1 percentage
from the floor besides their 50.9
defensive average. The Tigers
were ragged in the first half of
the Florida contest hitting for a
33.3 percentage, but rallied to end
up with a percentage of 39.6, still
below their previous average.
