Miss Auburn Title Up For Grabs
By LISA SANDERS
Plainsman News Writer
After a few more frenzied hours of campaigning, the
1962 political candidates will retire to await the voters' ver­dict.
Campaign ends at 9:00 a.m. tonight and all posters,
including the colorful car-top signs blossoming along Thach
Avenue, must be down by then.
According to Brian Mitchel,. su­perintendent
of political affairs,
a big rally was held last night at
Magnolia Dormitory from 7:30 to
8:30, with each candidate allow­ed
two minutes speaking time.
Mitchel said he expected a
pretty good turnout at the polls,
despite the fact that candidates
for three major offices are run­ning
unopposed.
Engineers Begin
Faculty Training
.A program of in-service train­ing
for engineering faculty is be­ing
initiated for the next six
weeks in the Auburn University
School of Engineering. In mak­ing
the announcement of the
teaching course for engineers,
Engineering Dean Fred H. Pum-phrey
said that engineering is
becoming an ever more compe­titive
field. He reasons that new
and more effective methods of
teaching will benefit engineering
professors and their students.
Rohert G. Pitts, head profes­sor
of aerospace engineering, is
t h e director for the program. As­sisting
him are Dr. Howard
Strong and E. B. Taylor. Pitts has
had experience with similar
courses at other universities. The
series began with orientation and
introductory remarks by Dean
Pumphrey on Friday. In the fol­lowing
weeks a group of 12 "stu­dents"
will become familiar with
the principles of learning, meth­ods
of teaching, effective speech,
course planning, tests and tele­vision
teaching.
Staff members attending the
course as "students" include Jer­ry
Max Anderson, J. Wayne
Evans and Will Lithgow Liddell,
mechanical engineering depart­ment;
Joe S. Boland, III, Daniel
Noneaker, Charles Rogers and
Thomas Osborne, electrical engi­neering
department; Jack L.
Johnson, engineering graphics;
Gerald Leigh, civil engineering
department; Thomas McMurtry,
industrial laboratories, and James
O. Nichols, aerospace engineer­ing
department.
The faculty for the effective
teaching course for engineers,
includes the following:
Dr. W. D. Spears, psychology
department; Dr. John Deloney,
agricultural education; Dr. W. S.
Smith and John C. Green, speech
department; Ed Wagener and
John Dunlop, educational tele­vision
department and Major
Charles B. Modisett, Army ROTC.
He added that participation is
usually heavier in the spring elec­tion
than at other times, but that
a 50 per cent turnout would be
considered good.
The polls will open tomorrow
at 8:00 and will stay open until
4:30. Two separate ballots will
be used, one for senatorial of­fices,
and another for student
government and publications po­sitions
and Miss Auburn con­testants.

800 High School Students Expected
For Second Visitation Day Saturday
By JUNE WALKER
Plainsman News Writer
The second High School Visitation Day will be held here
on Saturday, April 14. Approximately 700 students are ex­pected
to visit the campus to become acquainted with Au­burn's
educational opportunities.'
Meetings will be held during the day with department
heads and deans of the various
Schools of the University. The
students will be told about the
various curricula and given an
opportunity to ask questions.
Alpha Phi Omega service frater­nity
will conduct tours of the cam­pus.
Charlie White, superintendent
of high school relations, and his
committee will assist with the ar­rangements.
The first Visitation Day, held
March 24, attracted approximate­ly
160 visitors. The reason for
the much higher number expect­ed
this Saturday is that this was
the date originally set aside for
Village Fair.
Village Fair was abolished last
quarter by the Student Senate
on recommendation of the Vil­lage
Fair Committee. The visita­tion
days are a partial replace­ment
for this event.
" The former Village Fair Com­mittee,
under Charlie White, is
now studying ways of improving
Auburn's high school relations
program. A report is due later
this quarter.
"CALL ME MADAM" principals pause for a moment during rehearsal. The Irving Berlin musical
comedy is the current offering of the Auburn Players. It will be shown tonight through Friday at the
Players' Theatre. Shown are, left to right, Nancy Knowles, Madame Ambassador; Bill Moates, Prime
Minister of Lichtenburg; Tut Joiner, Ambassador's Aide; and Karen Landrum, Princess Maria of
Lichtenburg. It will also be shown here April 16-19. i;

"Right now, we are about two years ahead of where I
figured we would be," said Auburn University Engineering
Dean Fred H. Pumphrey, Thursday, to a group of newsmen
viewing progress made to date in the School of Engineering.
With financial support from
alumni and friends, the firm
guidance of Dean Pumphrey, and
the work and dedication of a fine
professional staff, Auburn engi­neering
is coming of age.
The financial support enabled
the dean to recruit additional
qualified staff members and to ac­quire
some of the most up-to-date
equipment. Both tangibles
are highly necessary for the in­struction
of some 2,500 engineer-
• ing students. At the same time,
the new equipment, installed in
both new and refrubished labo­ratories,
enables the professors
to conduct research.
The freedom to conduct re­search
has a two-fold advantage.
First, it enhances the value of a
professor as a teacher. In his
speciality, he is able to bring his
students the very latest engi­neering
advancements. Second, it
enables him to contribute to the
development of industry in Ala­bama.
Indirectly, it eventually
affects the economy of the reg­ion
and adds to the nation's store­house
of engineering "know-how.
Research projects contracted
through the Engineering Experi­ment
Station and the Auburn
Research Foundation amounted
to $30,000 in 1957. That had in­creased
to $340,000 by the end of
1961. These research projects are
with both governmental agencies
and private industries.
Research also plays a signifi­cant
role in drawing the atten­tion
of professional engineering
societies, and other schools of en­gineering
to Auburn's accomp­lishments.
This is done through
the presentation of research pa­pers
at meetings of.the societies.
"In engineering, we tend to
rate performances on the basis of
acceptance of technical papers
for presentation before national
technical societies," said Dean
Pumphrey. "We believe that
when our papers are being ac­cepted
by the national technical
societies, we are beginning to
play in the big leagues."
The dean said that the number
of Auburn originated papers ac­cepted
for presentation is increas­ing
with each passing month.
Underlying the success of any
academic school is its philosophy.
The dean pinpointed that of the
School of Engineering as the
following:
1. Anything worth doing is
worth doing well.
2. Engineering is an art, and

is, therefore, not an easy thing
to pass on to someone else.
3. Engineering art is based on
sciences; therefore a thorough
knowledge of sciences is needed.
4. The best way to teach an art
is to have the students working
alongside the masters with the
masters continuing their work.
Another mark of progress is the
increase in new undergraduate
courses and the availability of
a d d i t i o n a l graduate degrees.
Through the Graduate School,
Master of Science degrees are of­fered
in aerospace, civil, electri­cal
and mechanical engineering.
The doctor of philosophy degree
in mechanical engineering is now
authorized.
Beginning next fall, the School
of Engineering, working in con­junction
with the high schools of
the state, will move up all math­ematics
courses. Another move-up
will occur in the fall of 1964.
In 1964 analytical geometry and
calculus will be the first mathe­matics
courses available for cre­dit
to the new engineering stu­dent.
A year in pre-engineering now
is required of all aspirants be­fore
they are accepted into the
f o r m a l engineering program.
Through the program, many stu­dents
find that they are better
fitted for some other academic
pursuit than engineering. As a
consequence much valuable time
is saved for them and their pro­fessors.
Students possessing an
aptitude for engineering find that
the program is beneficial. While
in it, they fulfill many require­ments
necessary for the eventual
granting of an engineering de­gree.
Pride in the School of Engi­neering
is shown by students in
their affiliation with student
branches of the professional en­gineering
societies. Within the
past year, one of these student
branches, the Society for the
Advancement of Management, re­ceived
the top National award
in an annual competition with
every other student chapter in
the country. Such activity points
up the enthusiasm of students and
professors alike.
How Auburn is doing in its
progress can be shown in a small
measure through Army ROTC
competition in summer military
encampment. Last summer at Ft.
Gordon, (Era., the Signal Corps
branch, w h i c h is composed of
electrical engineering students
to a large extent, ranked first.
Similar groups from nationally
ranked engineering schools fin­ished
behind Auburn.
At Ft. Belvoir, Va., in the Mil­itary
Engineers encampment com­posed
mostly of civil engineer­ing
students, Auburn finished
second behind Georgia Tech. Of
course overall military aptitude
was counted in with the engi­neering
competency. Neverthe­less,
Dean Pumphrey sees a good
reflection of the School's pro­gram
in the results.
Despite the gains, the dean and
his staff are far from satisfied.
They are pleased with current
progress it is true; however they
are not content to rest on their
laurels. They are shooting for the
stars. And they believe that type
of imagination is a pre-requisite
to fashion the kind of a School
of Engineering to rank with the
very best.
In that direction, the dean fore­sees
the employment of addi­tional
professors with Ph.D. de­grees.
He is working for the es­tablishment
of Ph.D. degree pro­grams
in civil and electrical en-

To Be Held Soon
Wednesday, April 18 is the day
for the first annual Pi Kappa Phi
Easter Egg Hunt and Easter
Bunny contest. Four representa­tives
from each of Auburn's 11
sororities will try to find the
most Easter Eggs. The winning
sorority will be awarded a trophy
which it will keep for one year.
The trophy will rotate with the
sorority keeping it that first wins
it three times in a row.
After the Easter Egg hunt, the
judging for Miss Easter Bunny
will take place. Each sorority will
select one contestant for Miss
Easter Bunny. The winning con­testant
will be selected by a panel
of judges. There will also be a
trophy awarded to the girl that
is selected Miss Easter Bunny

gineering. However, he is recep­tive
to the idea of expanding con­tractual
research in diverse
fields.
Engineering is no snap! The
route to knowledge and to a de­gree
is long and hard. Those who
are willing to work make the sac­rifice
and gain the laurels. At
graduation they have increased
their knowledge. Chances are
good that they have enhanced
their character as well.
TICKETS'
Ticket order blanks for 1962 Au­burn,
football games were mailed to
alumni and old purchasers l a st

Candidates Give Platforms For Coming Elections
'Plainsman', Upper Office Hopefuls
Speak Out On Various Subjects
By DON PHILLIPS
Features Editor
Politics in general, and campus politics in particular, has
often been accused of being a vague, nebulous sort of thing,
with no definite issues and no real purpose. Many people com­plain
that candidates run on personality alone, and that ex­perience
and ability are considered secondary—if at all.
With these complaints in mind,
The Plainsman recently asked
candidates for Plainsman editor
and the upper offices of the SGA
•—president, vice-president, secre­tary,
and treasurer — to submit
their specific campaign platforms
and promises for the coming elec­tions.
The candidates and their plat­forms
are as follows:
* * *
BOBBY BOETTCHER
Plainsman Editqr
Everyone reads The Plainsman;
altogether, a b o u t 7,000 students
each week. No other student club,
forum, or organized means of ex­pression
on the Auburn campus
has as direct a contact with the
student body as does The Plains­man.
It is therefore of the highest
importance that the editor of The
Plainsman be a person who pos­sesses
not only the intensive tech­nical
experience necessary for the
publication of the newspaper, but
also the most worthwhile of moti­vations,
with the best interests of
Auburn University at heart. In ef­fecting
these attributes, he must
show himself to be a man of. re­sponsibility.
For the proper functioning of the
ideal staff, it is necessary that the
editor be the recognized leader,
and that he set the example by
taking the initiative in all phases
of staff work. He must, therefore,
have adequate technical know-how
as well as the inherent qualities of
responsible leadership.
News coverage can be made
more complete by instituting a sys­tem
of "beat" assignments to news
writers. Each writer would be
chiefly responsible for one par­ticular
area of. campus news, and
would have as a permanent as­signment
any news stories which
might pertain to that area or ac­tivity.
News writers would in this
way be made more aware of find­ing
news rather than merely com­pleting
weekly assignments hand­ed
down by the news editor.
The editorial page of The
Plainsman should provide a forum
for student opinion, and should en­courage
creative and individual
thinking for both the reader and
writer. It is my belief that a cer­tain
amount of controversy among
student opinions is quite healthy;
it increases interest and awareness
concerning vital local and national
issues throughout the student bo­dy.
Recognizing this, it must also
be taken into account that con­troversy
should never be encour­aged
to the extent that it exists
mainly for its own sake. In deal­ing
with controversial issues, the
writer—whether a columnist, let­ter-
writer, or editor—should make
an effort to consult and familia­rize
himself thoroughly with the
object of the controversy, so that
the resulting article will be both
accurate and fair in its presenta­tion.
In promoting a healthy spirit
of competition and general interest,
the editor should allow a wide di­versity
of opinion among the in­dividual
columnists on the edi­torial
page. Both liberal and con­servative
elements should find in

The Plainsman a readily available
means of expression.
I feel that because of my three
years' experience on The Plains­man
staff (during which time I
have served in almost every ca­pacity
on the editorial side of the
paper, including, on certain oc­casions,
the authority of the edi­torship
itself) I am well qualified
to manage for the Auburn student
body an interesting, colorful, well-informed,
and responsible paper.
The Plainsman belongs to the Au­burn
students; I am certain they
would be justified in entrusting it
to my care for a year.
* * *
CHARLES McCAY
Plainsman Editor
As I have said to many a Au­burn
student in the last few days,
I think it is time for a s l i g h t
change in the policies of The
Plainsman. It's capabilities, in my
opinion are not being, exploited to
their fullest advantage, (i.e., to
inform the men and women of
Auburn.) There has been some
doubt and criticism as to the use­fulness
of The Plainsman as a
news medium for the students as
well as the public relations med­ium
of the University.
By filling its pages with debates
and articles of a purely political
nature The Plainsman has left un­noticed
and unpublished m a ny
newsworthy campus events and
activities.
Now don't misunderstand me.
An occasional political article
stating facts and objective opin­ions
is perfectly in good taste and
definitely has its place in The
Plainsman because after all this is
the place where the leaders of to­morrow
mold their ideals. How­ever,
the present running battles
which have turned into petty
name calling articles have no
place in our student newspaper.
Certainly I think political mat­ters
are important and that every
college student should be well
versed along these lines. But it is
not the position of The Plainsman
to completely spend its forces in
the development of these prob­lems.
Rather, I believe, it should
publicize, criticize, and editorialize
on items which are of interest on
this campus, and leave the ma­jority
of the politics to the state
dailies.
In effect, lets start by looking
at the-frees individually and th£rf
widen our scope until we can"
clearly view the forrest in its en­tirety
with an undistorted vision.
The Auburn campus is a proving
ground for men and women who
have shown a willingness to assert
themselves and a belief that they
possess the ability to take their
proper and rightful place in a
modern world, a world which re­quires
a superior standard of
knowledge in order to properly
discharge one's duties as a leader
in our dynamic society.
The Plainsman is a statement of
opinions and happenings of the to­tal
campus. When ruled by one
man or faction of this campus, it
becomes a farce unnatural to a
student body such as Auburn
which is not of one mind but rath­er
a combination of many ideals
and opinions.
In short, I think the job of edi-
CANDIDATES FOR Plainsman editor and administrative posts in Student Government seem
optimistic about their chances in tomorrow's election. Seated, left to right, are Bobby Boettcher, can­didate

tor to be one of service to the men

BERT HITCHCOCK
President
Student Government at Auburn
must, to a large extent, justify it­self
in the coming year. To pro­vide
and insure direct benefits to
Auburn students and to contribute
to the general learning situation of
this university are essential func­tions.
There must be established a mu­tual
trust and reciprocal action be­tween
individual students and
their Student Government, be­tween
then in turn Student Gov­ernment
and the faculty and. the
administration. With the active in­terest
and energetic concern of the
Student Body, Student Govern­ment
can stand as that all-impor­tant
•compromising link to achieve
'tKe^encls common to the best in­terest's
of all concerned.
The duties and responsibilities
of Student Government will large­ly
be realized when the individual
student can experience its benefi­cial
achievements in his every-day
routine of college life.
To go now into specifics, there
are innumerable things that a
well-organized, efficient Student
Government should work toward
in its next tenure. Public relations
certainly assume an important
role. The Student Body should be
constantly kept up to date on the
activities of Student Government,
and on a broader scale, every ef­fort
should be made to provide
b e n e f i c i a l publicity for
Auburn University throughout the
community and state. In keeping
with this line of thought is the im­portant
business of high school re-

lations. Student Government can,
I believe, play a very meaningful
and significant role in attracting
the top high school students to
Auburn. Anything which can add
to furthering the academic goals
of the university and of its indi­vidual
students should be viewed
as a great opportunity for Student
Government action; I immediately
think of the tremendous potential
of the Auburn Conference on In­ternational
Affairs. Special efforts
should be made for progress and
improvement in .relation to the
many affairs which directly con­cern
the student body; ring and
invitation sales, problems concern­ing
student housing and food, and
campus traffic and parking mat­ters
may be cited as examples. Not
to overlook the social aspect, Stu­dent
Government'can, I think, in­vestigate
and contribute to the
bringing of outstanding entertain­ment
to the Auburn campus.
The success of such a plan of
action naturally depends upon, as
stated before, an atmosphere of
energetic interest and active co­operation.
With the placing of a
greater number of'students, intel­ligent
and capable individuals, in
positions of responsibility, I firm­ly
believe we can all view the
coming year with a great degree
of. optimism and assurance of fu­ture
accomplishments. With your
help, there can be no other direc­tion
but forward.
* * $
JIM KILPATRICK
Vice President
Student Government is for the
student. S t u d e n t Government
leaders are in office because stu­dents
elected them. Therefore
every student has a right to feel
that he is a part of the SGA. He
should feel free to talk with the
senators or the officers at any
time. There is no reason in the
world why any student couldn't
call regarding a question or an
opinion on a campus event or ac­tivity.
This is certainly my opinion.
The point is that Student Govern­ment
is, and is for, the student
body.
The S.G.A. serves as an inter­mediary
between the students and
the faculty. It can only be effec­tive
if both parties participate, and
participate with active interest.
During the next year the Stu­dent
Government Association will
be very much concerned with the
sale of football tickets, the h i gh
school visitation program, another
successful ACOIA, and other stu­dent
events. We were very much
pleased with the Summer Job
Placement Program which direct­ly
benefits the student body.
In another area, the high school
visitation program sponsored by
the SGA must work. This is one
of the more important means of
introducing high school students to
Auburn University, and is strictly
an SGA affair. We hope to see it
grow and prosper under the new
administration. The intangible
maintenance of the student spirit
is another SGA task through the
Supt. of Spirit.
Auburn will and must advance.
We as students are a vital part of
this university. We must do our
part. The Student Government As­sociation
is the method through
which we as students can speak,
act, and assist^
If. the word platform need be
mentioned, I would assume that it
would state: " a student govern­ment
association involving the
students with direct benefits for
those whom it was designed to
serve." I hope that students will
take the time to call me or any
other student government member
during the coming year. We're
there to help if we can.

CRAM COURSE NO. 1:
MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY
The school year draws rapidly to a close, and it's teen a fun
year, what with learning the twist, attending public executions,
and walking our cheetahs—but are we ready for final exams?
Some of us, I fear, are not. Therefore, in these few remaining
columns, I propose to forego levity and instead offer a series
of cram courses so that we may all be prepared at exam tune.
We will start with Modern European History. Strictly de­fined,
Modern European History covers the history of Europe
from January 1, 1962, to the present. However, in order to
provide employment for more teachers, the course has been
moved back to the Age of Pericles, or the Renaissance, as it is
jocularly called.
The single most important fact to remember about Modern
European History is the emergence of Prussia. As we all know,
Prussia was originally called Russia. The "P" was purchased
from Persia in 1S74 for $24 and Manhattan Island. This later
became known as Guy Fawkes Day.
Persia, without a "P" was, of course, called Ersia. This so
embarrassed the natives that they changed the name of the
country to Iran. This led to a rash of name changing. Mesopo­tamia
became Iraq, Schleswig-Holstein became Saxe-Coburg,
Bosnia-Herzegovina became Cleveland. There was even talk in
stable old England about changing the name of the country,
but it was forgotten when the little princes escaped from the
Tower and set fire to Pitt, the Elder.
Meanwhile Johannes Gutenberg was quietly inventing the
printing press, for which we may all be grateful, believe you
me! Why grateful? I'll tell you why grateful. Because without
Gutenberg's invention, there would be no printing on cigarette
packs. You would not know when you bought cigarettes whether
you were getting good Marlboros or some horrid imitation. You
could never be sure that you were buying a full-flavored smoke
with a pure white filter, a cigarette that lets you settle back
and get comfortable—in short, a Marlboro. It is a prospect to
chill the bones and turn the blood to sorghum—so if you are
ever in Frank-furt am Main, drop in and say thanks to Mr.
Gutenberg. He is elderly—408 years old last birthday—but
still quite active in his laboratory. In fact, only last Tuesday he
invented the German short-haired pointer.
But I digress. Back to Modem European History. Let us
turn now to that ever popular favorite, France.
France, as we all know, is divided into several departments.
jfe mcnkiUeitrmti%^i^W^
There is the Police Department, the Fire Department, the
Gas and Water Department, and the Bureau of Weights and
Measures. There is also Madame Pompadour, but that need
not concern us because it is a dirty story and is only taught to
graduate students.
Finally, let us take up Italy—the newest European nation.
Italy did not become a unified state until 1848 when Garibaldi,
Cavour, and Victor Emmanuel threw three coins in the Trevi
Fountain. This lovely gesture so enchanted all of Europe that
William of Orange married Mary Stuart and caused a potato
famine, in Ireland. This, in turn, resulted in Pitt, the Younger.
All of this may seem a bit complicated, but he of good cheer.
Everything was happily resolved at the Congress of Vienna
where Metternich traded Parma, to Talleyrand for Mad Ludwig
of Bavaria. Then everybody waltzed till dawn and then, tired
but content, they started the Thirty Years' War. © 1962 Max shuiman
* * *
Today you can buy Marlboros all over Europe, but you might
have to pay a premium. In all 50 of these United States,
however, you get that fine Marlboro flavor, that excellent
Marlboro filter, in flip-top box or soft pack at regulation
popular prices.

No New Issues
An Observer Surveys Campus Scene
As All Is Quiet On The Western Front
By W. H. Byrd
Your Vote Is Needed < &
Auburn students will go to the polls and
vote tomorrow. At least about half of them
will vote, if past performance is an indi­cation.
This apathy is indeed unfortunate.
The standard excuse for not voting is
that student government is meaningless
anyway. "Why should I vote just to swell
the egos of a few campus politicians?"
seems to be a rather prevalent attitude.
This charge does have some validity, but
it is founded on a woeful ignorance of the
facts. Student government here does many
things, some of them, such as ACOIA, of
great lasting value to Auburn and its stu­dents.
The pages of this newspaper often
report student government activities, and
many less newsworthy though still im­portant
projects go unreported.
Furthermore, responsibility for much of
the truth in the "meaningless" charge can
properly be laid at the doorsteps of those
who make it. When a student fails to vote,
he is in effect giving a mandate for mean-inglessness
to the candidates, for he thus
shows his absolute indifference to what­ever
aims the politicians have in mind. And
his lethargy, and the lethargy of hundreds
like him, is often lethal to many worthwhile
projects which student leaders would like
to undertake.
If Auburn students want more meaningful
student government, they should express
this desire first by voting in the campus
election tomorrow. A turnout of 80 or 90
per cent would be a mandate for progress;
the usual 40 to 50 per cent turnout would
show that the average student still doesn't
really care whether anything is done or not.
Perhaps tomorrow will signal The Great
Awakening in Auburn politics. But we are
afraid that our Rip Van Winkles find the
Catskills much too peaceful to come down
to the hard work and reality of the modern
world.

Editor, The Plainsman:
I have followed the editorials
concerning liberalism versus con­servatism
with a spark of renewed
hope that Joe Student, as Mr. Byrd
calls him, had become a little cog­nizant
that there is indeed a bit
more to life than the mad rush
toward oblivion in personal social
ladder climbing by Joe and his
contemporaries. I indeed quicken­ed
my ear and strained for each
morsel, devouring it as if it would
certainly be the last, for I could be
only skeptical of the life expec­tancy
of such ignominious public
presentation of childishness, as Mr.

My doubts materialized partially
with the cartoon by Mr. Walker

and request as did Mr. Byrd in his'

A Giant Step Forward
"Take one giant step forward." This is
the educational challenge of our decade.
"Mother, may I?" This is this question
extended to our own Auburn University
and to the Alabama State Legislature, to
colleges throughout Alabama and the
South—particularly to these.
The University of Alabama answers with
a resounding "Yes, you may!" The Univer­sity
of Alabama takes a giant step forward
in education as it begins a Program in
American Studies, the first of its kind in
the South. Next fall it begins a program
aimed at producing an "educated man," a
man capable of thinking, of analizing, of
tying together facts and events so as to give
them some continuity and relative value,
some meaning. It is a worthy attempt and
success seems assured.
The program itself is a refreshing change
from the wide and varied curricula aimed
at specialization. The present educational
trend leans toward the assembly-line pro­duction
of one-sided men who know every­thing
there is to know about history or
engineering or agriculture, etc., but who,
somehow, know pitifully little about how
their precious field of specialization re­lates
to the whole of American culture,
who know almost nothing about other
equally or more important areas that make
up big, broad life, as it is today, as it was
yesterday, as it will be tomorrow.
The American Studies Program, already
a part of many Northern universities, be­gins
with a wide range of social sciences
and humanities courses for the first two
years. There are four special American
Studies courses, one during each of the
final four semesters. The courses take up,
in turn, the American past, the American
present, the Deep South in relation to the
whole culture, and the whole culture in
relation to foreign countries.
"Within each of these areas there will be
an emphasis on a specific theme; and with­in
each theme, on specific illustrative in­stances,"
says James Jacobson while tell­ing
about the program in The Birmingham
News.
Dr. Clarence Mondale, the very capable
educator selected to head the new pro­gram,
stated, "We deal with immensities,
but concretely, with a defined focus."
In describing the program, Jacobson
goes on to say: "They (the American Stu­dies
students) will be required to take five
advanced courses in one of four 'group­ings'
(English, history, economics-political
science, sociology—anthropology) and two
advanced courses in each of two of the
other groupings. These advanced courses
will be taught by experts in the particular
subjects, and American Studies students
will be expected to compete on even terms
with regular students majoring in those
subjects.
"Additionally, considerable outside read­ing
and research, including a special pro­ject
as a senior, will be expected of the
American Studies major. To top it all off,
he will be expected at the conclusion of
the four years to pass a comprehensive ex­amination
on selected readings and on
all course work taken toward the major."
The program, though only eleven select
students will take it as a major this fall,
will doubtless grow and enhance the edu­cational
opportunities at the University of
Alabama. Then, too, perhaps other South­ern
universities will see the light and fol­low
in the path of educational progress.
Dr. Mondale sees possibilities beyond the
immediate program: "We mean it to step
up the pace of education in the college
and in the University. I hope the idea of
the comprehensive examination and the
lower teacher-student ratio will become
much more general practice and I hope the
University can be a place where we sharp­en
and mature critical judgement."
And so the University of Alabama .takes
a giant step forward, as we at Auburn
watch.—Dinsmore
ever would be in direct violation
of SAE rules.
The editorial page indeed will
not be removed nor will the faint
candlelight feverishly beaming
from its page be snuffed out. I
laud Mr. Byrd and his seemingly
vicious enemies, the conservatives,
for they are at least travelling on
' some kind of intelligible thorough­fare.
I propose that these are not ene-
. my camps, these liberals versus
conservatives. No, on the contrary
it is as if they are two distinct
tribes of truth seekers, camped at
night, each on opposite banks of
swift flowing uncrossable river of
political truth. Occasionally a
brave warrior from either side
may stride out waist deep before
he is swept under, with only a lit­tle
knowledge obtained, by the
swift currents of public criticism
which immediately engulf him.
The urge to enter this flow of
knowledge must ever be kindled
by the warriors themselves. For
only as the warrior from the one
side is enraged to enter by the
stones tossed from the other bank,
does the process of truth seeking
exist and grow. As the warrior
seeks to engage his enemy in hand
to hand combat, he is fed politi­cal
truth and is in turn criticized
by the complacent for even at­tempting
a solution to his constant
doubt.
At times, warriors from either
side may catch glimpses of light
from flickering camfires on the
opposite bank. They are surprised
to find in this illumination that the
tribe opposite them has their maps
marked with the same goal as do
they. The warrior realizes, al­though
his pathway is different,
that the warrior on the other side
seeks the same end as he; g o od
government!
For certainly all liberals, conser­vatives,
and honest "middle of the
road" factions have as their aim a
better democratic free society in
which all groups and individuals
may exercise constantly t h e ir
right to question and seek.
In closing I would answer Mr.
Hill's stinging summation, as he
calls it, by reminding him that his
kind of. battle fields are much
needed on the Auburn campus, and
it is my ardent wish that they
should develop into full scale war.
Sincerely,
Thomas L. Adams

Psychology
In Retrospect
Editor, The Plainsman:
Being a major in biochemistry
and basically ignorant of the
methods employed in the educa­tion
of our young, I hesitate to
criticize the School of Education
but in this case I cannot ignore
the obvious childishness of a par­ticular
course offered under the
aspices of the Psychology Depart­ment.
PG 310, laughingly named
Reading Improvement, is three
hours per week worth of hilarity
aimed at a college student by ap­pealing
to his grade school in­stincts.
Here is a description of
the'material offered to improve
the I minds of those students en­rolled
and generally help them to
get along with everybody else,
especially the instructor.
Requirements: 1. Upkeep of
Individual Reading Record
Mimeographed forms were
handed out having titles resemb­ling
the following, "My Personal
Reading Improvement Record,
My Reading Rate Improvement Is,
My Individual Score, How Did
My Score Improve. Books avail­able
to Me," etc. How sickening
to present English of this grade
school level to college students
who are trying to improve their
linguistic abilities—retrogression,
a new phenomenon in education!
2. Vocabulary Work Book: The
hilarious, better astonishingly ri­diculous,
fact is that the answers
in this work book could be either
one of two, namely right or
wrong, and to put the icing on the
cake, all answers had to be
checked and corrected by a key
which was available at the read­ing
laboratory (?) before the book
was handed in. "Grades" were
then given on these books!
3. Word Quizzes: these quiz­zes
consisted of an exercise char­acterizing
English words by rec­ognizing
a foreign root stem. This
is all right when it works. Many
words, however, cannot be in­terpreted
in such a way. I might
add to this statement that I speak
and write German fluenty, have
a good understanding of French,
haying spent two years in said
coiintry, and recollect having had
four years of Latin at a Realgym-nasium
in Germany.
4. Instrument for Class Evalua­tion,
by Students: here is what I
consider to be the "jewel" in this
course. It is a shame that there
is hot enough room to copy this
questionnaire (5 pages, 90 ques­tions),
and I have to try to pick
out the questions that have pro­vided
the most laughs for some
professors and, of course, myself.
All questions had to be answered
by one of the following state­ments:
Seldom or never
Occasionally
About half of the time
A good deal of the time
Most all of the time
Some somple questions:
In this course a feeling will
suddenly hit me—something I've
had an inkling of before but
never dared to feel ail over.
The teacher didn't catch on to
what was eating me that made
this subject hard for me.
I've felt a lot of pressure to
work on something that I wasn't
ready to learn.
We've been treated like adults
in this course.
This class keeps me on my toes
—I'm never sure what new idea
will strike me next.
I'm able to live with more un­answered
questions about this
subject that I could have at the
beginning of the class.
The instructor made it possible
for some of us to take class re­sponsibilities,
like writing on the
board, passing out materials, run­ning
the projector, or whatever.
In our class we began to hit on
problems that were real to us.
It seems as if the teacher
doesn't like to lecture, but he
(she) will pretend to enjoy it if
the class demands a lecture.
Emotions are paid attention to
in this class.
Our teacher makes us feel he's
(she's) genuine through and
through.

Schiller here speaks of unre­stricted
forces and their threat to
humanity. I shall use it to imply
a thread too, not a physical one,
but a warning to our educators
to curb the unrestricted forces
of retrogressive education. It
takes many to build, yet few to
destroy! Then why, I ask, do we
let a few destroy what others
have in life times of devotion
built upon science and know­ledge?
This then is taught to the peo­ple
who will one day teach your
and my children. Teach them
what? Teach them to play silly
little games instead of building
up an intellect and a character.
What else can they do if that is
what we teach them in college?
Oh, but the children must be
able to get along, they say. In­deed
they must all become little
round balls — beware of the
square! A little curare will heal,
much will kill.
There is talk of an educational
gap between high school and col­lege.
To close this gap, are we
slowing down or are they speed­ing
up?
Sincerely yours,
Wilhelm P. Schoor

under the auspices- of the psy­chology

is not required although some­times
recommended for educa­tion
students. It is offered as a
general elective.—Ed.

Conservative Aims
Editor, The Plainsman:
Last week you published a let­ter
by Homer Warbucks in which
he offered "advice" to the local
proponents of the conservative
movement. Mr. Warbucks sought
to pin the labels "reactionary"
and "extremist" on us. Frankly,
we find this type of thing not
only boring, but also misleading.
Our aims are quite clear and
definite: We seek to promote
greater political awareness among
students. We are working for the
establishment of a two-party sys­tem
in the South, and we seek
to demonstrate that there is more
than one approach to the solu­tion
of state, national, and world
problems.
We welcome intelligent com­ment
and criticism on our activi­ties
and we will gladly discuss
meaningful issues which arise.
We do not like the low level at
which issues have been discussed
in recent months, and we hope
Seems that this is an off week
of sorts. The great Liberal-Con­servative
debate has died down
for the time being, and the con­servative
side has finally pub-'
lished their opinion of the world
for all to read and wonder at. No
new issues at stake here.
And since all the front page
goodies from last week's Plains­man
proved to be simply April-
Foolishness, we can't follow any
of it up critically. It was disap­pointing
to hear that the Meat
Grinders weren't really coming to
concert. Anybody know how to
profitably dispose- of a Martha
White Self-Rising Flour label and
a metal top from a can of Tube
Rose Snuff?
Nor is there anything worthy of
comment about the student elec­tion.
It's still the same as it was
that enlightening spring of '58. No
amount of journalistic crusading
seems capable of arousing a ser­ious
attitude about it all, so we
calmly cool our heels till all the
posters come down.
There are some real knock down
drag out possibilities for the
Plainsman editorship, the liberal
vs. conservative issue could be­come
a significant part of it all,
but then, Joe Student wouldn't
care for that sort of thing.
No vehement attacks on right
wing radicalism either. Ex-Gen.
Walker said it all for them, right
in front of Congress and all. I do
feel a little slighted that he left
some of the controversial college-boy
journalists off his list. Even
the Alabama State Legislature did
not miss that bet last spring, so I
hear.
You hadn't heard? Then give
ear, oh Conservative Conclave, and
check your list lest one of your
members be of the accused 27 of
your fellow students. Twenty-seven
there were who were put
right on the list with the shadiest
of Pinks and the blackest of Yan­kee
Socialist Integrationists. Twen­ty-
seven there were who let their
fellow citizens know that they did
not exactly approve of all those
superior, righteous, white folks
burning busses and beating up all
those poor ignorant "niggers." And
that's the way it was, and ex-Gen.
Walker didn't even mention it in
front of Congress. Shucks!
The Supreme Court is in the
news again. But the most we can
say about it is that critics of the
decision have proven that t h ey
don't have a very good compre­hension
of what the reapportion­ment
business was all about any­way,
or the part the court played
in it. They just keep yelling about
interference and dictatorship and
Yankee Socialist Integrationists,
like they always do.
Then there's that old business
about Auburn and the AAUP,
which we're just getting around to
thinking about. More and more
we're finding that the idea of pro­gress
(in this case a brighter fu­ture
for Auburn) is gaining ground
on some old ideas which have just
about crystallized themselves out
of existence (in this case the idea
that Auburn is all good in itself
and needs no AAUP or anything).
Yep, it's going to be progress that
will make a better Auburn, not
spirit or tradition or good old
Southern way of life. Progress, Yea
Verily!
Speaking of progress, did that
poor Aborigine ever get his boom­erang
to come back?
I read in the Auburn University
Bulletin, on page 62 of the 1961
edition, that—with respect to the
location of Auburn—"The climate
is delightful and healthful, being
moderate throughout the year." I'll
bet that line hasn't changed since
1872; seems the weather has
though. Or maybe us younguns
just can't take it anymore. I've
seen the same line in a lot of oth­er
college bulletins too. I'll bet
they all get it from their local
weather bureau. Anyone for plan­ning
a picnic?
See, all sweetness and light; no
bitterness and mean streaks for
anybody. Maybe I can win a popu­larity
contest now, or win friends
and influence people. This is the
way isn't it? This is what Joe Stu­dent
wants on the editorial pages
isn't it?

Cartoonist Defines
Point Of Drawing
Dear Mr. Byrd:
I enjoyed your column last
week as I enjoy all your columns,
but I think you missed my point.
I feel that the conservative-liberal
issue has a definite, right­ful
place on our editorial page,
as do a great many other issues.
My criticism was not on the vali­dity
and imporance of this issue,
but on the disproportionate
amount of space alloted to it.
This imbalance was illustrated by
the March 7th issue of the Plains­man
when only one article be­sides
the editor's column dealt
with anything other than the is­sue
being discussed. I can scarce­ly
see where shouting complac­ency
justifies this imbalance. (By
the way, I thought name calling
was a conservative tactic.)
I feel that a man is more than
a liberal or a conservative, and
that the issues of the world and
of this nation may be defined in
more meaningful terms than lib­eralism
or conservatism. To your
list of humorously suggested top­ics,
I would add a wider range
of the important issues that af­fect
and interest the Auburn stu­dent.
If consideration of these
issues suggest complacency, then
I am 100 percent complacent.
Yours for a complacent but
well read Auburn,
Tom M. Walker
Where Oh Where
Is The Opposition?
Editor, The Plainsman:
Many years ago, my 61' pappy
told me that nothing was worth
having if it was given to you.
Remembering thit, it just doesn't
seem right to let pi' Bert Hitch­cock
walk into office unopposed
just because nobody in the other
party wants to lose an election. I
know it's not because they
wouldn't be losers, because
they've had enough practice along
about this time of year. Maybe
Spring Fever has set in.
" Now, it isn't that the present
Candidate isn't qualified; he will,
if elected, without many doubts
be an excellent president. (As
a matter of fact, Bert used to be
a neighbor of mine, living just
about within atomic cannon range
of my back door. That's how we
any future discussion will be lost the screen porch. And my
grandmother. It seems as though
Granny was sitting out back one
night sipping Mint Juleps and
Epson Salts, when all of a sud­den
. . . but that's another story.)
But that (his qualifications) is
why I hate to have him finish last
in a one-man race.
Therefore, to offset cries of
"railroad" that many detract from
the election, I would, at this late
date, like to offer my name for
the presidency of the Auburn
Student Government and hope
the qualification board is a lit­tle
sharper about my existence
than The Plainsman was.
If this publication will now
permit,
CASTLEMAN.
(J.)
MONRO
for
PRESIDENT
Thank you.
And in closing, friends and fel­low
voters, I would like to dis­pell
a nasty rumor that has been
circulated about my character.
I have never written under the
name of Jim Bullington.
General knowledge of this fact
is probably as much a relief to
the editor here as it is to my­self.
Proof of this is the exces­sively
small size of chair on
which I sit to type out this blurb.
For a name to be remembered
at the polls, (because it certain­ly
won't be found there) I am
sincerely,
. Castleman J. Monro

Ninth SUSGA Confab
To Be Held At Clemson
By JEANNE SWANNER
Plainsman News Writer
The ninth annual Southern Universities Student Gov­ernment
Association Conference will be held from April
26-28 at Clemson College in Clemson, S. C. Eleven students
will- represent Auburn at the conference, which has been
termed "the greatest meeting of its kind ever held in the
South."
SUSGA is composed of repre­sentatives
of colleges and univer­sities
from eight Southern states.
Its main purpose is for the ex­change
of ideas among various
student governments and one of
the means of doing so is an an­nual
conference in April. This
serves as a common meeting for
student leaders. There are 46
member schools in SUSGA but
representatives from approxi­mately
55 schools are expected
to attend. Between 350-400 stu­dents
are expected.
Panel discussions, general busi­ness
meetings, displays from
schools, state caucuses, and elec­tions
of state vice-chairmen will
be held at the Conference. Con­certs
will also be held each night
with performances being given
by the former leader of the
Kingston Trio, Dave Guard, with
the Hill Singers and the Four
Saints.
The panel discussions will be
led by advisors as well as stu­dents.
Auburn has six students
participating in seven of them.
These students and their topics
include Stanley Sikes, "Student
Government's Role in Foreign
Student Relations"; Ford Laumer,
"Role of the Student Government
President"; Sally Jones, "Wom­en's
Student Government"; Bert
Hitchcock, "Student Govern-ment's
Role in Developing Sports­manship
Conduct"; Jimmy Hag­gard,
"Financing Student Govern­ment";
Sam Gentry, "The Role
of Class and School Organizations
in Student Government"; and
Bert Hitchcock, "Student Gov­ernment's
Role in Mass Demon­strations."
Five other students
will also be named to attend.
Each state elects a vice-chair­man
every year to serve on the
Executive Council. Auburn has
nominated Johnny Jeffers to run
for this position for the State of
Alabama.
Herb Reinhard, Activities Ad­visor
of the University, will serve
as Executive Secretary of the or­ganization
until the conference,
when his resignation will be­come
official. At that time it will
be decided whether or not Au­burn
will remain the central of­fice.

ested in Auburn University. I also
feel it is important to publicize the
senate proceedings that would be
of interest to smaller groups on
campus. This could be done
through The Plainsman in addi­tion
to what the paper already
prints for SGA.
Furthermore, if I am elected, I
intend to foster better. relations
with our foreign students and to
promote a better understanding
between the independents, for­eign
students and Greeks. This
could be done through campus en­tertainment.
An example would be
to hold international suppers spec­ializing
in foreign dishes. I realize
it is difficult to have campus uni­ty,
but I want to see .more done to
promulgate an Auburn society
with such interaction. There can
be more participation, interest and
especially, more support of what
is already offered, as our ACOIA
and the Auburn Union. These are
my intentions, and I will work di­ligently
for them.
BILL MAYROSE
Secretary
If elected secretary I promise to
work to the best of my ability so
that Auburn might have a better
and stronger student government.
I think one thing which needs im­proving
is the information which
the average student receives con­cerning
the actions that are ta­ken
in our student government. I
would see to it that The Plainsman
keeps you informed as to what
passes through the legislative body
of Auburn. For a secretary to be
effective he must be willing to
work with and support the other
officers with whom he is associ­ated.
This I promise to do. The job of
secretary is a position which needs
to be backed by a substantial
•amount of experience and know­ledge.
I gained both of these as a
member of the senate during the
previous year. I promise to strive
to fulfill the duties and responsi­bilities
of a competent secretary
and I ask for your consideration
and support.
* * *
BILL HALLIWELL
Treasurer
For the first time in many years
the president, vice president, and
treasurer of the Auburn Student
Government Association will be
voted into office without opposi­tion.
Tn actuality this means that
you the. student have no choice in
selection of a man for these offi­ces,
although some of you were
present at nominating meetings or
had representatives attending in
your behalf. Just what factors pre­cipitated
this unusual situation?
Apathy has been mentioned, lack
of interest by the students in gov­erning
themselves. Others have
mentioned the feeling that student
government is only for the person
who seeks a position of false glory,
a title and office without intent,
meaning or plan of action for the
future. Other people, with ability
and ideas, pass by unknown be­cause
they never bother to talk to
their senate representatives or of­ficers.
Still others question, "What
is in it for me?"
This is a situation to be reme­died
by you the student, working
and cooperating with your senate
representatives, making sugges­tions
and showing an interest in
Auburn.
The Treasurer of the Student
Body works with several other of­ficers
and faculty in planning the
distribution of the Activities Fee.
Each quarter $8.50 is removed
from your "fees" and placed in the
Activities Fund, \which totals ap­proximately
240 thousand dollars
per year. Two dollars of this is
allocated to pay off a loan made to
build the Student Union Building.
The remainder of this fund is used
to support student activities. The
Athletic Department receives ap­proximately
35 per cent, the
Glomerata receives a little better
than 25 per cent, and the remain­ing
40 per cent supports The
Plainsman, lectures and concerts,
student union activities, intramu-rals
and a.multitude of other stu­dent
activities.
The treasurer also maintains an
audit system for all Student Sen­ate
approved organizations on the
campus.
In the coming year I hope to
bring to you the 'Student a better
knowledge of student government
by better communication through
The Plainsman. My office will be
opeh to all questions and sugges­tions.
I sincerely hope you, the
students, will help the other offi­cers
and I do a better job.
Student Senate Abolishes Straw Vote
In Last Meeting Of Current Senators
By JIM GOVENIDES
The Student Senate met Thurs­day,
April 5. Chairman Burt Pra­ter
presided over the meeting
which was the last to be held until
after Spring elections. A number
of things were accomplished dur­ing
the meeting. The Student Sen­ate
approved the following:
1. Brian Mitchell was approv­ed
as Superintendent of Political
Affairs. He will replace Bobby
Boettcher. Boettcher will with-seminar

Mark Moore.

in the festival is urged to register

draw from school for the spring
quarter to study in Japan. He
will return in the fall.
2. The Auburn Lab Technolo­gy
Club was given Senate ap­proval
to affiliate with Lambda
Tau.
3. The Auburn Sociology Club
was given its charter, having
completed the required one year
probation. Lance Hearn, chair­man
of the Senate Committee on
Organizations, recommended the
club be given its charter.
On recommendation of Ford
Laumer, President of. the S.G.A.,
the Senate voted to abolish the
straw ballot vote for gubernatorial
candidates during Spring election.
The Senate felt it would be in the
best interest of Auburn not to have
such an election.
At the close of the meeting,
which will be the last for the out­going
Senators, Burt Prater asked
for suggestions which might be of
benefit to the new Senate. Among
those suggestions were:
1. To impress the importance
of senators being present at all
meetings.
2. That the senators take a
greater interest in the feeling of
the students they are represent­ing.
The outgoing student senate was
one of the most active in Auburn's
history. The new year and new
senate should bring many things
of interest to the Auburn campus.

Money, Money, Money-
What will the NCAA's football TV program mean to the South­eastern
Conference this year?
According to SEC Commissioner Bernie Moore it's worth exactly
$433,920, cut 13 ways, but not equally.
Georgia Tech, which will host LSU on a national attraction
Oct. 6, will grab $48,048 of the year's SEC TV pie. LSU will reach
for $46,548.
Tennessee, hosting Alabama for a regional network game on Oct.
20, will claim $41,136 for the season. Alabama will get $39,636.
The other eight SEC brothers, not before the cameras this year,
will each get a check next December for $28,728 from the TV schedule.
Moore's office gets the same amount.
MOORE RELEASED tentative TV figures today after learning
the Columbia Broadcasting System
will pay $280,000 for each na­tional
game this fall, and $172,000
for each regional offering.
Under SEC rules, NCAA-TV
money is split into 15 shares—
two shares to each member be­fore
the cameras, and one for
the other 10 league brothers, plus
the commissioner's office.
The host SEC-TV team addi­tionally
gets $1,500 to defray extra
expenses incurred in staging the
games. This accounts for Georgia
Tech's share being larger than
LSU's, and Tenessee's greater than
Alabama's.

—SEC Third Down The List .
DESPITE a record take for SEC members from the national TV
program, this conference still ranks third in overall cash from the
1962 schedule.
The Big Ten, grabbing two national games and three more
on regional networks, will net $1,032,960.
The Southwest Conference, with eight members, will net $516,480.
The SWC has the Texas-Texas A&M Thanksgiving match on country­wide,
plus the Texas-Oklahoma and the Rice-SMU games on region­ally.
The big winners in TV cash, however, continue to be such
non-conference teams as Army, Navy, Syracuse, and Miami.
Each of these four has a national date, worth a net of $133,650
apiece, and they don't split With anybody.

Auburn Thinclads
Take On Georgia
Here Saturday
By GEORGE JOHNSON
The University of Georgia in­vades
Cliff Hare Stadium this Sat­urday
at 1:30 for a dual meet with
the Auburn track team. The wea­ther
man predicts fair skys Satur­day,
but not even the experts have
ventured to pick a sure winner in
the meet.
This is Auburn's first dual track
meet this season. The Tigers en­tered
the Florida relays, finished
fifth in a field of twenty-five, fail­ing
to do as well as expected.
Jimmy Dozier, who is making
his first appearance in a dual meet
since becoming SEC mile cham­pion
last spring, was the big man
for the Tigers in Tallahassee. He
made a tremendous effort in the
two mile relay that brought Au­burn
from deep in third place to
within two yards of winning. Do­zier,
along with Corky Frost, are
the Tigers two most experienced
men and will be heavily depended
upon in the dual meet.
Although Georgia lost their first
dual meet to South Carolina, they
boast several outstanding men.
Rookie distance runner Bert
Coursey turned back the clock 30
years against South Carolina last
Thursday to establish a new school
record of 9:48 for the two mile run.
His team-mate John Crawford

LARRY NICHOLS holds the tool of his trade with which he
has proven himself this season. Nichols, along with Breakfield,
Fowler, Bibb, and Svetlay, form the major hitting power on the
Tiger team which has seen only two losses this season.
Auburn's 'Gator Hunt' Is Fruitless;
Florida Takes Two—54 And 9-8
Auburn's weekend Gator hunt bagged naught as Florida
edged the Tigers 9-8 Saturday following Friday's 5-4 triumph
to complete a sweep of the crucial two game series and in­crease
its SEC Eastern Division lead to one and one-half
games. Auburn rolled into the swamplands with a spotless
6-0 season record, a 4-0 conference
mark, the Eastern division lead, a
national rating of nine, arid saw
it all go down the drain before the
Gator onslaught.
Collapse of the normally stout
pitching and a shaky Auburn de­fense
• were the ingredients of the
double licking. After being check­ed
for two runs on two infield hits
for eight innings in the Friday tilt,
the Gators jumped Jim Boyd for
three runs in the ninth to pull out
the 5-4 victory. Bernie Haskins
started the Gator rally with a
screaming double and scored on a
single by shortstop Ron Birchall.
Len Scheinhoft doubled home
Birchall for the tying run. Gayden
White replaced Boyd on the hill
and was greeted with a single by
pinch hitter Earl Montgomery on
the first pitch. When the throw-in
escaped normally sure-handed
catcher Vic Svetlay, Norbert Lado,
pinch running for Scheinhoft,
scampered home with the winning
run.
Auburn played Jerry Nicholson
for two runs in the first inning on
scoring singles by Wayne Fowler
and Richard Seaman but could
manage only two runs on four hits
the rest of the way.
Saturday's game failed to do
credit to either team. The contest
was a comedy of walks, hit bat­ters,
and errors. Starting Auburn
pitcher Joe Overton pitched six.

Plainsmen Meet Bulldogs
A iter Loses To Florida
Auburn's baseballing Tigers
journeyed to Florida last weekend
for a two-game series with the
Florida Gators, and came back
with their Plainsmen pride sorely
w,ounded. Besides knocking Au­burn
out of first place in their di­vision
and costing the Tigers their
national ranking, the two "come
from behind" victories by Florida
were heart breakers, the kind that
really take a lot out of a team.
This week the Tiger nine will be
trying to bounce back against FSU
here, and against Georgia in Ath­ens.
Earlier in the season, Auburn
beat the tough Florida State Semi-noles
twice. However, the Plains­men,
did not face FSU's two best
pitchers, and you can be sure both
of these pitchers will be in action
this time.
Also the boys from Florida are
loaded with good hitters, parti­cularly
their shortstop, Woodward,
who had two home runs against
the Plainsmen last time. Although
the two games with FSU do not
count in league record, it should
be an exciting series because of
the rivalry between the two teams
plus the fact that Auburn will be
trying to change their luck.
Later on in the week when Au­burn
travels to Athens for two
games with Georgia, the Tigers
must win if they are to stay in the
torrid SEC race. The Georgia Bull­dogs
have an exceptionally strong
pitching staff with two good soph­omores
and another young pitcher
named Jim Bagby, son of a former
major league ballplayer..
According to Tiger baseball
Coach Erskine Russell, "Georgia is
as good as anybody in the league.
They have some fine young pitch­ers
mixed in with some other ex­perienced
ballplayers and are ex­tremely
well balanced."
This 1962 Tiger baseball team
looked at first as if it were going
to be one of the best ever on the
Plains, and it may well yet be.
Breakfield, Fowler, Bibb, Svetlay
and Nichols form the nucleus of a
strong hitting Auburn team which
only needs to get some pitching
and defense which has been lack­ing
of late. Bases on balls and er­rors
resulted in two defeats by
Florida, and these two factors must
be remedied.

Spring Practice Features Opening In All Positions;
Auburn's Young Team Expectant As Trials Begin
By PETE MORGAN
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Tigers opened spring practice at Drake practice field
Tuesday with one of the youngest teams it has had in years.
There will be a great deal of work in the next three
weeks replacing the seven front-line regulars plus positions
held by linebacker John McGeever, halfback Don Machen,
and the able quarterback, Bobby
Winky Giddens, George Gross,
David Hill, and Joe Baughn should
be able to handle the job ade­quately.
The guards could post a
problem with Jimmy Jones being
the only man with experience, but
Steve Osborne and Davis Brock
ought to be able to step in and
take over without much trouble. If
Jim Price plays as he did when a
sophomore, there should be rib
trouble at center this year.
Hunt.
With the loss of only three of
the backfield, the battle for line
positions will be one of great in­tensity.
Sunday night End Coach Gene
Lorendo made the following state­ment
in reference to the coming
practice, "We on the coaching staff
are looking forward to the coming
practice with great anticipation.
We are facing the season with the
youngest team, end to end, we
have fielded in many years, but
are very enthused with the poten­tial
and spirit of these boys. We
have more good promising backs
than we have ever had, and the
line potential is very good."
This season the practice is being
carried on in a different manner
from the previous ones. The
training will lean more toward the
basic fundamentals — blocking,
tackling, and running—rather than
trying for all-out teamwork. Also
the practice schedule is woi'king
differently with the team divided
into two groups. The "A" squad
works out with the "B" squad
from 2:30 until 4:30, then the "A"
squad leaves the field and the "B"
squad remains out until 6:30. There
will also be a practice game every
Saturday afternoon. .
Looking toward the front line,
there are many good prospects
with some having a good deal of
experience. At End Howard Simp­son
is the only letterman, but Don
Downs should do very well also.
At the tackle position men like
The backfield has six exper­ienced
men returning which in­cludes
George Rose, Jimmy Bur-son,
Mailon Kent, Larry Laster,
Woody Woodall, and outstanding
fullback Larry Rawson. The back-field
shouldn't post a problem with
these men, and a group of sopho­mores
like Tucker Frederickson,
Jimmy Sidle, Micky Sutton, Doc
Griffith, and Billy Edge coming up
from last year's unbeaten fresh­man
team.
Coach Jordan said the practice,
"looks like we are going to have
a real interesting spring. We
should have some tremendous
competition; every position is wide
open."
The Tigers will hold the annual
"A" Day game on May 12.
Coaches Atkins, Connally Promoted
To Offensive, Defensive Line Mentors
As was reported in a Sunday
story in the Birmingham News,
Assistants George Atkins and Joe
Connally were given promotions
Saturday as Head Coach Ralph
Jordan completed staff preparation
for the Tuesday start of what must
be a major rebulding of Auburn
spring football training.
Atkins, who has served in va­rious
line teaching capacities with
varsity and freshmen since he
joined Jordan's staff in 1956, is
now officially offensive line coach.
Connally, who came to Auburn
with Jordan in 1951, is now de­fensive
line coach.
In the chain of command, At­kins,
an all-SEC guard at Auburn
in 1953 and 1954, serves under of­fensive
coach Buck Bradberry.
Connally, who played under
Wally Butts and Jordan at Geor­gia
right after World War II, will
work under defensive coach Hal
Herring.

Vic Svetlay Rated
Plain's Ace Catcher
Vic Svetlay, Auburn's number
one baseball catcher is also the
Tiger's number one hitter. Before
the Florida games Svetlay was
leading the team with a very im­pressive
.423 batting average.
Svetlay graduated from John Car­roll
High School in Birmingham as
the m o s t outstanding athlete. Vic
had offers to play basketball from
several colleges in Florida, but at
the very last minute he decided to
"ome to Auburn with no special in­terest
for sports. After lettering
four years in baseball in high
school, however, he found it hard
to forget it. Vic's interest in base­ball
overcame his reluctance and
he went out for the freshman
team. He made the first team as
a fielder.
After the first two or three
games in his sophomore year his
outstanding ability was recognized
and he graduated to the first string
catcher's post for the varsity.
The road wasn't that easy, how­ever.
Near the end of Vic's sopho­more
year he broke his wrist while
playing and he was out for the
rest of the season. Now Vic says
his wrist gives him little trouble.
When asked why his batting
average was so good, Vic said, "I
don't know—luck I guess." Vic has
been at bat 26 times and has hit
11 hits and eight rbi's. With a .423
average, a hitter must be consis­tent.
Svetlay hasn't gone hitless in
any game. In the 3-2 win over
Tech, he pulled a single in the
ninth inning, which produced an
rbi, and won the game.
Plain Sports . . .
(Continued from page 6)
baseball team is going places.
The beginning of the season found a lot of question marks con­cerning
the fortunes of the Tigers. Could a second pitcher be found?
How would Vic Svetlay rebound after his injury last season? Could
Wayne Fowler retain his brilliant sophomore form? And the biggest
question of all—could inexperienced sophomores Jimmy Martin and
Otis Bibb adequately replace the great keystone combination of Jim
Douglas and Benny Catchings.
With nine games under the Tigers' belts and a fat 7-2 won-lost
record showing, there seems to be no doubt remaining. This is poten­tially
a great college baseball team!
Catcher Vic Svetlay is a brilliant defensive catcher and has
been pounding the ball all over the lot. He has moved into the
top contender's spot for all-SEC honors. Larry Dempsey is doing
a bang-up job at first base and has furnished some of that sorely
needed hitting that was lacking there last year. Wayne Fowler
wasted no time answering this question by blasting three home
runs in the first game. '
Porter Gilbert is a steady performer in left field, doing good de­fensive
work and chipping in with his share of the hits. Veterans
Larry Nichols and Bill Breakfield provide that much-needed power
hitting in the outfield. Joe Overton has done a great job on the mound
in support of ace Jim Boyd. And Gayden White has been more than
adequate in relief.

Alpha Gamma Rho Still Winning,
As IM Softball Enters Third Week
By BOB MAYFIEUD
Ir.tramurals Editor
Pitching played the most impor­tant
part in last week's intramural
Softball games. Harold Watts, who
pitched a perfect game last week,
came through again with a fine
performance against a good AP
team to push AGR to the top in
league three. AGR downed AP,
9-3.
Larry Kirkland had the best
game of last week when he threw
a one-hitter against DSP, to lead
SP to a 24-0 win. SP gained spark
from the hitting of John Donehoo,
3-3, and Tom Harmon, 4-4. Both
SP and AGR are in league three,
and the highlight of the Softball
program for this year should be
April 24, when these two teams
meet and Kirkland and Watts have
their pitcher's duel.
The independent league began
their season with the BSU bomb­ing
the Rebels, 25-4. Out to add
another trophy to their case this
year, (they won the independent
football title last fall) the EiSU
looks like the team to beat in this
league.

feits. Four of the ten scheduled
games for last week were for­feited
because of teams failing to

The intramural program is set
up for the students. It gives them
the opportunity to participate in
good clean competitive sports, to
exercise, and to associate with
other students.
Last Thursday's games were
rained out and will be re-schedul­ed
at the next meeting of the fra­ternity
sports board.

Netters Winless
In Five Matches
By IVAN HARDIN
With five matches gone, the net­ters
of Coach Luther Young are
still without victory. In a match
played in Tuscaloosa last Friday
against the University of Alabama,
the Tigers went down 9-0. The fol­lowing
day saw a 7-2 defeat at
the hands of Howard College in
Birmingham. There were, how­ever,
a few bright spots. Ben Eas-terling
of Auburn; defeated Jordan
of Howard, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1. Also the
doubles team of David Gaillard
and Jim Nickerson won their
match, 3-6, 6-4, 9-7.
The tennis team's n e x t match
is with Mercer University in Ma­con,
Ga. Mercer is led by Hans
Kinsel, a ranking player in Eu­rope
before coming to the United
States to study.
Following the Mercer match,
Auburn will return home to finish
out the season.
Two approaches to the
"man's deodorant" problem
If a man doesn't mind shaving under his arms, he will probably
find a woman's roll-on satisfactory. Most men, however, find it
simpler and surer to use Mennen Spray Deodorant: Mennen Spray
was made to get through to. the skin, where perspiration starts.
And made to work all day. More men use Mennen Spray than any
other deodorant. How about you? 64* and $1.00 plus tax

European Students Form Soccer Teams;
May Visit Auburn Students In May
By Phelix Motwell
Assistant Sports Editor
It is possible that students of
Auburn may have an opportunity
to get a "European-view" of soccer
here the latter part of May. Teams
of the best players from Paris,
London* Rome, Bonn, Brussels,
Barcelona, Lisbon, Athens, Gene­va,
Copenhagen, Oslo, and other
European cities are being formed.
These teams plan to play exhibi­tion
games among themselves
through the United States, one
game in each state. They are es­pecially
intended to be played for
university and high school stu­dents.
This will be the first time that
U. S. universities have been in
the position to be hosts to the
teams of Europeans. Many of the
students might be guests of Ameri­can
students and, therefore, both
sides would benefit from such a
tremendous event. Most likely the
leaders of the teams are going to
be sports writers from the cities of
the engaged teams.
This event is pending upon a
few not-so-tiny obstacles which
must first be cleared.
There must be accommodations

day was Bill Breakfield's three hits
and three rbi's. The highly touted
Auburn power was n o t i c e a b l y
lacking. The distance hitters did
not manage an extra base hit the
entire weekend.
The deflated Tigers return home
for a game with FSU Tuesday and
hit the road again this weekend
for a two-game set with the Geor­gia
Bulldogs.

A band should be present to

The cost of this exhibition is to
be in the four thousand dollar
range. This fact offers the great­est
obstacle. The question stands,
"Will the Auburn student take ad­vantage
of this opportunity?"
- The answer can't be forseen;
however, if the answer is, "No"
there may be some re-evaluation
due. This is an excellent oppor­tunity.

prior to the match. In the first
flight, Morris Slingluff, after be­ing
three down on the first three
holes, birdied the next four or five
holes to wind up with a respect­able
71. However, Georgia actually
fell behind when Auburn's Wally
Nail fired a 70 and Hill Boswell a
73. Nail and Boog Layton of Geor­gia
tied for low man honors, with
Layton posting his in the second
flight.
In other competition last week
the Tiger linksters lost to Alabama
9%-17Vfe and eased past Georgia
Tech 14y2-12V2. The Alabama
match, played at Tuscaloosa, was
an off day for both teams, with
Bill Farris of Alabama posting a
70 for the only under par score of
the day. Slingluff was low man for
Auburn with a one over par of 73.
