MIKE McDERMOTT
Mag Dorm President
AU Student Elected
At SUSGA Meet
Johnny Jeffers, one of the
eleven Auburn students to attend
the Southern Universities Student
Government Association Conference
this past week at Clemson
College, was selected as one of
the eight vice-chairmen to serve
on the executive council next
year.
The executive council is composed
of one representative from
each of the eight states in the
conference and is headed up by
an overall chairman. An executive
secretary, who is presently
Herb Reinhard, also attends all
meetings held by this group. This
year the central headquarters of
the executive council has been
moved from Auburn to Howard
College in Birmingham, where
Lindy Martin will take over
Herb's duties.
The students attending the meet
gained very valuable experience
from the discussions held on
many different school problems.
Mike McDermott
Wins Run-off Vote
By BOB SMITH
The highlight of the Magnolia
Ball, which was held last Saturday,
was the announcement of
the new president and Miss Magnolia
Dormitories.
The new president, Mike McDermott
of Mobile, defeated Bob
Smith, Huntsville, in a run-off
election by tallying 259 votes to
Bob's 247. McDermott, in his ninth
quarter in Math, has served since
the fall of 1961 as the secretary
of the Magnolia Senate.
Immediately following the announcement
of the new president,
the retiring Miss Mag, Jane De-
Loach of Birmingham, presented
a bouquet of roses to Miss Diane
Holt, who was selected from a
field of five finalists to serve as
Miss Magnolia Dormitories for
1962-63. Miss Holt, a freshman in
Pharmacy, has been the Sweetheart
of Division T since the fall
of 1961. She hails from Carbon
Hill, and resides in Alumni Dorm.
Residents of the Dorms nearly
doubled' the spring election' voting
percentage when they cast
their ballots on April 19. 585 of
the 789 residents voted during
this election, which chose the new
Miss Mag and narrowed the field
of president hopefuls from three
to two. This election, which
brough 74 per cent of the residents
to the polls, was followed
by a run-off election for president
on April 26. At this time 64
per cent of the boys turned out
to vote.

Rainy Sigma Chi Derby
By BARBARA CLARK
Plainsman News Writer
Despite the pouring rain a large crowd gathered to watch
Auburn's eleven sororities compete for the first place trophy
in the sixteenth annual Sigma Chi Derby. The Derby was a
big success and was enjoyed by everyone, attending.
The Derby was scheduled to be held in front of Social
Center, but had to be moved to
the Student Activities Building because
of the bad weather. This did
not put a-damper on the activities
however, and the competition and
excitement was -high' among the
sororities. Derby handlers for each
sorority urged the girls on, hoping
Development Fund
Progresses Slowly
As Goal Neared
By LISA SANDERS
Plainsman News Writer
The Auburn University development'
project has obtained
$2,375,000 toward. the goal, according
to Joe Sarver, fund director
and Secretary of the Alumni
Association. The money is being
used for library and nuclear
science center construction and
scientific equipment. The $1,071,-
000 designated for the nuclear
science center is now on hand,
but contributions have declined
rapidly as the fund nears its
$2,594,000' goal. '
The bulk of the fund comes
from' corporations, private gifts,
and other non-governmental service's.
The $2,375,000 secured thus far
has come from 5,340 donors. In
Sarver's words, "$220,000 could
complete this drive. This money
is desperately needed for science
and library equipment. Auburn's
library has only one half as many
volumes as a university this size
should have." According to Sarver
AUDP had hoped to secure
student help in the fund raising.
However, the student organizations
approached showed little
interest in the project. Twenty-five
dollars per student spread
over the next two years could
furnish the needed $220,000.
The most willing responses received
by AUDP have come from
corporations. These projects were
more than a year ago.

place.
The events in the Derby were
the Paddle Board Race, Egg-Tossing
.Contest, - Four^egged Race,
Fish Pole Race, Key Hunt, Wheelbarrow
Race, Limbo Contest,
Bathroom Stationary Race, Catch
the Fish, and Sledge the Pledge.
After competing in these ten
events, the AOPi's finished in first
place with a total of sixteen
points. Phi Mu and KD had a run
off for second place. KD captured
second place, and Phi Mu came in
third. Derby Daddy was Richard
C. Yeend, Jr., and Assistant Derby
Daddy was Jim Henry. Judges for
the events were Captain R. E. Hil-liard,
Mrs. George Blake, and

The climax of the Derby was the
naming of the 1962 Sweetheart of

English Faculty Members To Participate
In Inter-regional Conference Of ASA
Two members of Auburn's English faculty will particip
a t e in an inter-regional conference of t h e American Studies
Association, May 4-5, -at Miami Beach, Fla. "The Image of
America Abroad and National Defense" will be discussed in
programs presented by about 15 American scholars whose
experience with various foreign
study programs has given them
first-hand knowledge of the subject.
"The American Studies Ass'ocia.
tion," says Auburn's Dr. Carl Benson,
"tries to explore the profitable
areas of interdisciplinary
study. Study of a period in terms
of its literary, historical, political
and sociological texture frequently
provides insights denied
to the scholar confined to only
one field." Benson is presidentelect
of the Southeastern ASA,
and will assume the presidency
at the May conference. He returned
last fall from a Fullbright
lectureship in Germany.
Dr. Eugene Current-Garcia will
present a paper entitled "American
Studies and the Alliance for
Progress." The paper is based on
his experience while serving in
Latin America as a cultural consultant
for the U.S. Department
of State. He visited several Latin
American countries, and became
acquainted with the kind and
degree of cultural exchange between
the U.S. and its neighbors
to the south. Current-Garcia also
has served as'a Fulbright lecturer
in Greece.
Clemson Man New
A rchitecture Dean
Speer To Assume Duties This Fall;
Former Dean Hurst Now In California
Appointment of William Arthur Speer as the new dean of
architecture and the arts was announced last Wednesday afternoon
by AU President Ralph B. Draughon. Speer will succeed
Samuel T. Hurst, who resigned last fall to accept the
deanship at the University of Southern California.
Currently serving as a member
of the Clemson College architecture
faculty, Speer will arrive in
September to assume his duties.
Until that time, Frank W. Apple-bee
will continue in the capacity
of acting dean.
Speer received his "bachelor's
degree in architecture at Clemson
in 1937, and took his master
of architecture degree at the
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Subsequently, he worked as a
draftsman in Birmingham and
Atlanta.
New Cheerleader
Squad Announced
The cheerleaders for the 1962-
1963 school year were announced
April 24. Don Sims, a Delta Chi
from Birmingham will lead the
squad of three boys and three
girls with a boy alternate and a
girl alternate.
The squad, picked from a group
of 105 students who participated,
in the tryouts is as follows: Jimmy
Eddins, a Sigma Alpha Ep-silon
from Evergreen; Frazier
Hollis, a Sigma Nu from Florence;
and alternate Richard
Krause, a* Pi Kappa Phi from
Birmingham; Carol Andels, an
Alpha Gamma Delta from Birmingham;
Kathrine Stogner, a
Delta Zeta from Huntsville; and
alternate Judy Clark, a Kappa
Delta from Birmingham. Johnnie
Jeffers from Auburn and Janice
Jones a Phi Mu from Monte-vallo
were asked by the Selection
Committee to remain on the
squad.
The squad started practice last
Thursday, April 26, and will continue
to practice this week and
next week for "A" Day when
they will be officially presented
to the student body. They ' r e ceived
their uniforms Monday,
April 30.
Plans for the year will be
made at a meeting at the end of
this quarter. The squad will be
back before classes resume next
fall quarter for Freshmen Orientation
and to practice for the
coming year.

Schools Of Arts And Sciences Grow
In Relation To Urban Employment
The era of post-war growth of
Auburn University reveals some
interesting facts. Enrollments in
the Schools of Chemistry, Education,
Engineering and Science and
Literature have boomed upward.
While the School of Agriculture
enrolled 12 per cent of the students
in 1950, only about seven
per cent of the total student body
today is enrolled in that school.
A 10.7 per cent drop from 1950
to 1961 in the enrollment of the
School of Veterinary Medicine is
noted. Those decreases, according
to Dr. John Swanson, director of
institutional research, are evident
in almost all land-grant institutions
in the U.S., with persons
leaving the farm for city
employment.
At the same time, the importance
of the schools showing the
enrollment decrease is unimpaired.
Not only do they contain
departments on which the other
schools depend, but their services
are needed to undergird agriculture
and its associated industries.
Numerical enrollments in Auburn's
nine academic schools
(and excluding the Graduate
School) have increased or decreased
from 1950 to 1961-62 and
are projected to 1970 as follows:
Agriculture, 793 to 677 and
866; Architecture and the Arts,
611 to 673 and 823; Chemistry,
248 to 360 and 420; Education,
1347 to 2093 and 2846; Engineering,
1448 to 2480 to 27,322; Home
Economics, 251 to 279 and 377.
Pharmacy, 280 to 279 and 324;
Science and Literature, 1404 to
2335 and 3201; Veterinary Medicine,
262 to 234 and 254.
Those school enrollment figures
added by the year gave a total
enrollment of 6,641 in 1950, 9,270
in 1961-62 and a projected enrollment
of 11,843 for 1970.

Anderson Urges Education Growth
To Statewide PTA Convention Here
"In terms of support for edu-tion,
there are no states in this
nation left in a position to be
envious of Alabama." That assertion
was made here Friday morning
(April 27) by Executive Vice-president
Robert C. Anderson of
Auburn University. Dr. Anderson
made his address before the
annual convention of the Alabama
Congress of Parents and Teachers
meeting here.
' Points stressed by Dr. Anderson,
former head of the Southern
Regional Education Board,
follow:
1. Alabama schools can be made
as good as any in the nation.
2. Achievement of such a goal
would require more than just a
modest effort.
3. Alabama ranks 50th among
the states in current expenditure
for schools per pupil in average
daily attendance. No matter
what legitimate charges you include
in the total for current expenditures,
Alabama still ranks
at the very bottom among states.
4. Alabama ranks 46th in the
average salary paid to classroom
teachers in the public schools.
The average teacher's salary is
Alabama is $1,500 below the national
average.
5. Alabama and Mississippi are
tied for 48th and 49th in the pupil-
teacher ratio. 21 per cent of.
Alabama's adult population have
completed four years, of high
school. That ranks the state in
47th place. Only 3.6 per cent of
Alabama's adults have completed
four years of college, and the
state ranks 49th in that category.
Dr. Anderson said that the
plight of higher education in
the state is perhaps even worse
than that of the elementary and
secondary public schools. "State
appropriations for higher education
. . . actually decreased six
per cent during 1959-61. Alabama
higher education ranked 50th in
this, also . . . During the same
period the average increase : in
appropriations for higher education
in the United States was
22.7 per cent.
He said that if Auburn University
were to raise its faculty salaries
to just the national average,
and at the same time bring expenditures
on needed equipment,
supporting staff and activities,
and research, up to national average
levels, "We would require
an increase of 51 per cent in operating
funds."
Fulton Lewis, III,
Speaks To 1,000
On Communism
Fulton Lewis III, son of the
famous news comentator, Fulton
Lewis Jr., soke to a crowd of
approximately 1000 people in the
Union Ballroom last Tuesday,
April 24. Also featured was the
film, Operation Abolition, of
which Lewis was technical adviser
and director.
. Lewis, a 1957 graduate of Virginia
and for two years a research
analyst for the House Un-
American Activities Committee,
has toured the country over the
past few years speaking at colleges
and universities in 48 of the
50 states. His talks deal with the
domestic threat of Communism.
Operation Abolition deals with
the-Communist part in the San
Francisco riots against the House
Un-American Activities Committee.
FULTON LEWIS III, right, discusses a point of Conservation
doctrine with Lee Griffith, president of the Auburn Young
Republicans Club, after Lewis' presentation of the film "Operation
Abolition" here last Tuesday night. The program, sponsored by
the Young Republicans, drew an overflow crowd to the Union

Theta Chi Starts Constructive Initiation;
rejects Substituted For Hazing
A constructive informal initiation is one in which the
manpower generally available during any initiation is used
for some constructive purpose r a t h e r than being consumed
i n various destructive or useless activities.
The recent Theta Chi initiation held April 13th through
tion departed from the traditional
form in a number of ways—the
main change being a substitute of
April 18th was a quite successful
effort to organize an initiation
along this line. This new initia-

hard work for hazing and related
frivolities. Hazing has a long history
in fraternities and similar social
organizations. This physical
or mental harrassment, and in
particular the use of the paddle,
has always been a problem. The
related frivolities, such as forcing
neophytes to eat various unpalatable
goodies, are about as dangerous.
Both of these are anachronisms
which everyone knows have
lingered around, but no one wants
to admit that they have stayed
around his house. These more or
less traditional initiation practices
are hard to get rid of, particularly
since it is usually thought that
no e f f e c t i v e substitute is
available. In the constructive initiation,
however, these were dropped,
and work did prove to be an
effective substitute.
With the emphasis being on
hard work it is not surprising
what was accomplished. The neophytes
started at 12:00 noon Friday
and worked on projects at
the fraternity house every day
except Saturday until 12:00 Wednesday.
During this time they
built a brick wall and concrete
drainage ditch around two sides
of the Theta Chi parking lot,
built a barbecue pit, polished the
kitchen, and performed countless
small jobs. On Saturday they
were required to do a community
project and were turned over
to the City of Auburn. The City
manager selected as a job for
them to paint the buildings
in Felton Little Park. The neophytes
spent most of Saturday
working at the park and were
commended for the job they did
there.
Most of the work done over this
5 day period was done in the
day time or evening, for another
feature of this initiation program
was a.set of regulations concerning
the study time of the neophytes.
One of the main complaints
neophytes make is that
initiation hurts their grades. In
order to prevent this, each neo-

Newly Finished Large Animal Clinic
Is Important Part Of Vet School
"We can't possibly show our students a case of everything
they will encounter as practicing veterinarians, but we
try." This statement by Dr. Fred G. Schell, head of Auburn's
department of large animal surgery and medicine, contains
the guiding principle of Auburn's newly-completed Large
Animal Clinic. The clinic allows
the veterinary student to gain
experience in the actual diagnosis
and treatment of animal diseases,
under the direction and instruction
of a staff clinician.
As animal medicine becomes
increasingly complex and specialized,
more cases are referred
to the clinic by practicing veterinarians.
This practice enables
the student to see a great many
different types of abnormalities,
suplementing the passive, textbooks
instruction with active,
clinical instruction. Most of the
clinic's work is done with farm
animals, but they do have ah occasional
odd case, such as removing
the claws from a wrestling
bear. Care is taken to insure
that each rare case is introduced
to all students in the clinical
phase at that time.
At the clinic, staff members
and students are on 24-hour call,
phyte was required to be in his
room studying by 8:30 on Sunday
and the following week
nights.
The advantages of this form of
initiation are many. In the past,
the informal initiation has been
one of the weak points of the
fraternity system and a point
most often attacked by antagonists.
A constructive initiation, if
worked properly, will serve the
same ends and accomplish essentially
the same purpose as the
old form. At the same time something
useful is accomplished for
the i n d i v i d u a l chapter and
for the c o m m u n i t y as well.
There are also constructive effects
reflected in the neophyte class
itself. Solidarity is increased and
the group works harder knowing
that there is a purpose to what
they are doing.
every day in the year, to provide
veterinary service. Five students
at a time serve as resident
internes, living on the premises
for a week at a time. This phase
Of the veterinary program occurs
in the last half of the students'
junior year, and is concerned
with large animal surgery,
medicine, infectious diseases and
obsterics.
The clinic provides veterinary
service for a large area, including
ambulatory service within
about a 30-mile radius of Auburn.
Three small vans are used for
this purpose, each one being
equipped for field work including
emergency surgery right on
the farm. Each time a van goes
on a call it carries a staff
member and a group of students.
The clinic handles thousands of
patients each year. Last year a
total of 13,389 patients were
treated, 2,426 at the clinic itself
and 10,961 by the ambulatory service.
Most of these were beef and
dairy cattle, followed by horses
and swine.
One of the unique features of
Auburn's large animal clinic is
its location, situated right on a
farm on the outskirts of the main
campus. Included in the 95 acre
installation is a 30-acre paddock
system, plus pastures for grazing
clinic herds.
Physical equipment at the clinic
includes loading and unloading
facilities permitting safe and
quick handing of large, often
unmanageable animals; and examination
room. with adjoining
diagnostic laboratory and dispensary,
two operating rooms
equipped for all large animal
sugery; separate barns for beef
animals, horses, dairy cattle, and
smaller animals such as swine,
sheep and goats. Two large lecture-
demonstration rooms are
equipped with access and holding
facilities which permit the exhibition
of clinical cases to the
class. Office space and some research
facilities are provided for
staff members in the main building.
Future plans call for moving
the whole School of Veterinary
Medicine out to the site of the
large animal clinic.

Fraternity Officers Listed
For Coming School Year
LITTLE MAN 0>Lf AMPUS
It has often been said that Auburn has one of the best fraternity
systems in the nation. While many institutions of higher
learning shackle their fraternities with ridiculously severe
regulations, loss of chapter houses, and all sorts of probation,
Auburn encourages its fraternity system. It provides long term
loans, cheap land, and moral support
among other things, for its
Greeks. The Greeks, in return,
provide badly needed housing
space and meal service, not to
mention social life, for the school.
The Greeks are a great economic
asset to the community. Millions
of dollars are poured into
Auburn's bloodstream each year
by the Auburn fraternity system.
A great deal of responsibility
falls on the officers of those fraternities.
They arc the ones who
pay the bills, listen to the gripes,
and perform the thousand-and-one
duties which keep the fraternity
going. They are the ones of whom
the future of. the fraternity system
rests.
Below we present for your reference,
a listing of fraternity officers
for the coming year. Several
chapters will not elect officers till
later in the year, and therefore are
not listed.

Straw Votes At Auburn
A group of interested and politically
aware Auburn students planned to conduct,
a straw vote, concomitant with the recent
student elections, on the race for governor
of Alabama. This has been done at other
schools across the stated notably the University
of Alabama, and similar straw votes
have been conducted here, as in the 1960
presidential election.
Ordinarily, such straw votes are considered
harmless enough, serving merely to
add color and interest to both the student
election and the political race in question.
In this fair state, however, and at this university,
conditions are somewhat different,
and consideration of these conditions led
the Student Senate, whether rightly or
wrongly, to eliminate the proposed straw
vote.
What are these special conditions? None
other than the highly irrational nature of
Alabama politics, and at least understandable
caution and concern for Auburn's welfare
which a knowledge of state politics produces
in the administration and some student
leaders.
Is this caution and concern justified? On
the basis of past performance and some immediate
knowledge of state government reaction
to policies of this newspaper, we are
reluctantly forced to agree that this fear
has some legitimate basis. That this is true
is neither good nor right, but it is reality.
It seems to be possible that a "wrong"
choice for governor by Auburn students
could result in reduced appropriations and
a generally unfavorable policy toward this
school.
Now the right to hold a straw vote in the
gubernatorial contest is not so much a matter
of uncompromisable principle as is freedom
of the press, the right to vote, freedom
of speech, and other traditional civil liberties:
if it were, no considerations of expediency
would be justified. In the killing of
this poll, however, there does seem to be
some element of undue muzzling of student
expression, however rationalized; which,
while it may. not subvert an inalienable
right, is highly undesirable to say the least.
We profess no oracular powers concerning
Alabama politics and the workings
thereof, and therefore, we cannot justly say
that the elimination of the straw vote, in
this particular case, was absolutely wrong
and unnecessary. We would suggest, however,
that at times Auburn tends to be
somewhat too timid in asserting itself in
matters such as this. Although it possibly
may have been necessary to eliminate this
poll, we hope those responsible realize that
such action is generally wrong and not in
keeping with the spirit of a great university,
and that they will strive, insofar as is at all
possible, to prevent similar instances in the
future.
Fraternity Pre-Rush, Again
Due to parliamentary delays, the controversial
pre-rush plan will not be voted on
by the Inter-Fraternity Council until this
week. We would, again like to go on record
as highly in favor of this plan.
As we pointed out at some extent last
week, the pre-rush plan will benefit both
individual fraternities and the fraternity
system as a whole. It will save money and
time; it will eliminate conflicts with school
activities; it will make rule enforcement
easier; and it will insure a generally better
and sounder rush week.
The new IFC leadership has acted wisely
and justly in proposing this plan. It should
be ratified by an overwhelming vote of
member fraternities.
The Unsifent Generation
An article in Time magazine noting increased
student political activity has sounded
an omen for student government. "Along
with this new taste for national affairs has
come a killing ennui for student government,"
Time opined. "On several campuses
the student government has simply been
abandoned."
As many other opinion journals have
done in recent months, Time has pointed
to a trend among college students of playing
an enlarged role in the politics of their
society. Students have been engaging in political
activities ranging from Freedom
Rides to peddling copies of Conscience of a
Conservative.
In the wake of the "Silent Generation"
of the '50s, which threatened to withdraw
from the world into cocoons of self-center-edness,
this new-born student concern for
the operation of democracy is a healthy
sign. Our future leadership can be no better
than its experience; if it plays sandbox
politics when it's young, chances are age
won't do much except petrify the sandbox.
Today's Homecoming chairman will become
tomorrow's Elks president, but today's participant
in the liberal-conservative student
dialogue might well become tomorrow's
congressman.—The Colorado Daily.
Within The IFC
Rush Controversy Caused By Few So-called Leaders;
Frat Members Not Told Both Sides Of Rush Story
The whole business of pre-rush
vs. split rush has evolved
into a mess of controversy and
hard feelings. What is so sad
about the whole situation is
that this mess, which has involved
dirty cloakroom strategy
on the part of both sides,
has been created by the supposed
fraternity leaders, who,
in many cases, are not representing
their fraternities but
themselves. In many cases, the
fraternity members in chapters
have not been made aware
of the alternative systems.
Their representatives have
told them which way to think,
which side to take, and they
have gone along like sheep.
There are two systems of
rush that have been discussed
in the IFC. There is the new
and different pre-rush plan,
which is slated to be voted
upon in the IFC meeting
Thursday. And there is the
split rush plan, which, with a
few modifications increasing
the number of quiet hours to
allow for orientation and registration,
is similar to the existing
rush system.
By Jim Dinsmore
Already, at some length,
there have been presented the
arguments in favor of pre-rush
in this paper. I here propose
the worthwhile question:
would pre-rush really be a better
system than a modified
form of the present rush system?
These points, I think, are
relevant. First, there is no such
thing as a perfect rush system.
Both systems and all systems
will have their faults.
Second, the amount of actual
rushing time will be approximately
the same under both
systems.
One of the implications of
pre-rush is a proposal to eliminate
all girls (though each
fraternity may have one girl)
from rush, not just Auburn
sorority girls. What need is
there for such a proposal? As
Jerry Godard, IFC Advisor,
says, "The elimination of girls
may prove less expensive or
more expensive." The elimination
of all girls from rush will
not necessarily cut rush expenses.
Expenses may even increase
as fraternities try to
find an adequate substitute to
relieve the boredom of a girl-less
rush. Doubtless, drinking
will increase.
Then there is the question
of whether this seemingly tag-ged-
on proposal is within the
purpose of the IFC as stated
in the constitution. We wonder
whether this was proposed so
that the IFC might restrict fraternities,
dictate needless rules
(if this goes through we wonder
where it will end) rather
than to "promote the interests
of . . . the fraternities." Does
the IFC want to limit and restrict
the fraternity system into
one big blob of mediocrity,
though an equal mediocrity?
Should not the freedom of
choice be left to the individual
fraternities?
Let's not "run through" this
pre-rush proposal, as was done
in the rush commission meeting.
Let's think about this thing
before we let a few so-called
fraternity leaders hurt our fraternity
system. School ends in
four weeks. And then summer.
Is this enough time to incorporate
a radical change in our

THE LAST STRAW (VOTE)
Letters To The Editor
Reader Claims Student Political Apathy Understandable
Since Independents Given Little Voice In Student Affairs
Editor, The Plainsman:
The editorial pages of your past
two issues have been consistently
marked with reprimanding comments
concerning the aparthy of
the students on campus. Mr. Mc-
Cay says, "The typical Auburn
student is most definitely dormant."
Mr. McCay then goes on to
say why the typical Auburn student
is dormant but he doesn't
state the real reason for this
dormancy.
The majority of Auburn students
do not belong to a fraternity
or sorority and therefore,
the typical Auburn student is an
independent. Quantitatively, the
Independents are a majority—
but, what good is a majority that
has no support? Most of the Independents
on campus are classified
accordingly: 1) Those who
are interested in Auburn politics
and the betterment of them, (very
few), and 2) those who think
the situation hopeless, who say,
"Auburn politics are fixed; the
Greeks run them—an Independent
hasn't a chance." These people
have every right to think- this
when incidents occur such as the
following:
1) Three candidates ran unopposed
for major executive offices
in the Student Government.
(Al three belong to Greek organizations.)
2) The only returning male
cheerleader (who has a year's
experience) was not chosen Head
Cheerleader by a student committee
consisting of various student
leaders (mostly Greeks) and
three seniors at large (all three
are Greeks). The fact that the
returning cheerleader is the only
independent cheerleader probably
didn't affect the committee in
their choice of Head Cheerleader,
but it seems to be the most logical
reason why he wasn't chosen,
especially since all who tried out
for cheerleader, myself included,
were sure he would be chosen
due to his wonderful spirit, leadership,
and experience. The irony
of this letdown is that the returning
cheerleader taught the
new head cheerleader everything
he knows. Yet, the returnee may
have been offered the position
and turned it down, for all I
know, but the whole thing smells
when all seven of the new cheerleaders
are Greeks and when a
committeeman pre-warns an Independent,
"It's a lot of politics—
who you know and who knows
you."
rush system? Is this the time
to introduce pre-rush, when it
does not offer great, clear-cut
advantages over the present
system? Is this the time to introduce
a system that only
might prove better, or might
even prove worse?
There are two sides. There
are advantages and faults on
each side. I do not have space
to present an adequate view
of even one side. I can only
say that no one can justly say
that either system far outweighs
the other. I only say
that we should not be led into
something new and possibly
detrimental without a lot of
careful thought. We aren't
sheep, are we?
3) In the recent sorority production
of Campus Capers, one
skit was entitled, "How to Succeed
in Auburn Politics Without
Really Trying." The skit, of
course, didn't win any trophies,
probably because it was a satire
of corrupt Auburn politics. To
top it all, the girls did a takeoff
on their own Miss Auburn candidate.
The whole theme of the
skit can be stated as such: "Auburn
politics are corrupt—but
who's going to do anything about
it?"
4) Not only is there Greek-Independent
rivalry, hut also
Greek-Greek rivalry—or should
I say corruption? For example,
refer back to the sorority Campus
Capers: the first skit presented
should definitely have
walked away with the trophy. The
choreography and choral singing
were terirfic. The whole skit was
well-rehearsed and well-presented—
and featuring a whole sorority
for a change. But, this skit,
according to the judges, was the
worst—it came in last. Why???
The most probable reason is because
it wasn't as sarcastic as the
other skits; instead, this skit exemplified
expert showmanship
and a great deal of polish. It was
in a class by itself; the other
skits were all either sarcasm or
take-offs on controversial events.
It's a shame that the judges
couldn't recognize good talent and
fine showmanship. Corruption???
Yes, the typical Auburn student
is dormant—but, don't you
think he has a right to be when
there is so much evidence, that
everything is pro-Greek, that the
Greeks are running the politics—
and corrupt politics according to
that one particular sorority.
I realize that the students are
asleep and I'm willing to help
awaken them—but how?? The
proposal to give the average lay
student a bigger hand in the affairs
of the S.G.A. is a good start
—but what next?? The S.G.A. is
composed mainly of Greeks; how
are they going to realize what the
Independents need?
As far as the Independents are
concerned, the situation is hopeless;
they say, "What interest
could the Greeks possibly have
in us? We have nothing to offer
them."
You, the Greeks, must show
them (through actions, not
words) that you are interested—
that they, the Independents are
a part of Auburn, a most important
part.
For a better Auburn,
Tommy Perez

Sarver Credits
Faculty Follies
Editor, The Plainsman:
As a result of the recent Faculty
Follies $83.05 has been contributed
to the Auburn University
Development for use in the
new library.'
As director of the Development
Program, I want to publicly express
appreciation to the Entertainment
Committee of the Auburn
Union as sponsors of the
Follies and to the members of the
faculty who gave so generously
of their time and "talents."
Even though the money is certainly
appreciated, I think more
significant is the "shoulder-to-shou-
lder cooperation shown between
students and faculty for
the purpose of helpng our University
develop a great library.
This should be an inspiration to
Auburn people everywhere, and
I hope it will encourage other
groups, both in Auburn and outside,
to adopt similar projects.

Book Review
Called 'Putrid'
Editor, The Plainsman:
. I n last week's edition you pub-
' lished one of the most putrid
book reviews I have ever read. I
am referring to Mr. Jim Dins-more's,
'"Catcher in the Rye' . . .
200 Pages for 50 Cents." Surely
this was printed for filler only
because the only resemblance
this article had to a book review
was the title.
Just what was Mr. Dinsmore
trying to say, anyway? The article's
discontinuity made the
reader want to "puke."
I can be gross, too. I can out-gross
Mr. Dinsmore anyday, but
the pages of The Plainsman are
not the place to do this.
For shame.

Alabama Offers
Toilet Tissue
Editor, The Plainsman:
Attention Student Body
Fellow Students:
We here at Alabama didn't
realize that our sister institution
was in such dire need that groups
of students and professors were'
sent out to forage for necessities.
We are very happy to share
some of our conveniences with
you. The enclosed roll of "Toilet
Tissue" we hope, will aleviate
(sic) some of the problems and
help at least 1000 students. In
this small way, we hope we have
been of help in your hour of need.
Now is the time eyeryone
should rally to the support of the
second largest and second best
institution of higher learning in
the state. We hope we have
•started a chain-rotation that will
be followed by everyone everywhere
and that soon this problem
will be a problem no more.

Talladegan Talks
On Race Relations
Editor, The Plainsman:
Your editorial, "And Thy
Neighbor As Thyself," in the April
25th issue is most interesting.
Indeed, all your editorials are interesting.
It is ' delightful to
see the ideals of youth so well
e x p r e s s e d and I hope you
never lose these ideals; only that
they be tempered with judge-mnt
and wisdom as you grow older
and experience those things
that are bound to come.
You were rather severe in your
judgement of the people of Talladega
and base your severity on
It's time for a celebration of
sorts—a victory celebration. It
was right about a year ago that
Alabama recorded its infamous
victory over the Freedom Riders.
From the way most of the
gubernatorial candidates are extolling
the virtue of their hand in
it all, I would expect a statewide
holiday to be declared.
But it seems doubtful that a
. holiday and victory celebration
would be accepted by the public.
With a year in which to think it
over, and the example of our
neighboring states still dazzling
us, Alabamians can hardly be
less than ashamed of their State's
show of civilization last spring.
When all is said and done about
outside interference and yankee
socialists' and communists and
Bobby Kennedy, there is still no
rationalization of those unhappy
events in Talladega, Birmingham
and Montgomery.
The freedom riders may have
failed to get the Negro accepted,
as a social equal, but they did
not fail to open many an eye to
the facts of life under the Constitution.
In the past year we
have seen it in a more reasonable
press, in the sincere and conscientious
approach of many
civic organizations to the problems
of community stability in
the face of social upheavels, of
the serious thinking by both
young and old on the question of
race relations and The Southern
Way of Life. Much remains to be
considered, thought about and
worked out; the Riders have at
least forced us to start thinking.
Their success may be difficult to
evaluate, but it has not been entirely
lacking.
What is significant is that as
a whole, and despite what the
general opinion is of race relations,
Alabamians seemed not too
happy with the reception accorded
by various Citizens Councils
to the Freedom Riders. After
the violence we were forced "to
ask, is .this the respected Southern
Way of Life which we seek
to uphold? The answer to that
question, the inevitable answer
any decent human being could
not help but arrive. ; a | deTri^nded
a fresh look at the South' and its
so-called Way of Life.
Despite what we would like
things to be, we have to face the
fact—however grim—that we are
living in the twentieth century,
the nuclear age, in this cockeyed
world and in a country desperately
clinging to an ideal that
it only half-heartedly believes in:
that all men are equal under the
law and that they have certain
inalienable riphts to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. We
are forced to admit, that when one
man's life, liberty and pursuit of
happiness interferes with another's,
something has got to give;
and consequently, that we had
previously instituted the Supreme
Court to decide what it is that
gives. We have now to decide
whether we will respect the Court
and make the necessary sacrifices
for social harmony, thus affirming
a belief in our own established
ideals; or whether we
will forsake those ideals for our
own personal place in chaos. The
very fate of civilization depends
on our decision; the matter is not
one to be taken lightly.
The problems are not new ones.
Our way of life is one in which
it is necessary for these problems
to be solved every generation or
two. The Freedom Riders of last
spring have at least served to stir
an awareness of these problems
to today's generations—and not
only in the South. The founding
fathers of this nation did not
solve all the problems of a democratic
republic; they merely
erected the framework, a sort of
universal structure which has
many potentials. It it up to us
today, and particularly to our
elected leaders, to construct
within the framework, the political
skeleton, whatever fabric is
necessary to develop the potential
to survive in the world.
How disappointing it is to see
political leadership so lacking in
the knowledge of its destiny. The
whole potful of gubernatorial
candidates seems to be alien to
logical, clear, urgent and creative
thinking. How much at odds they
seem to be with the people who
have the greatest stake in Alabama.
How insensitive they seem
to be to reality. And these are
the people who should have the
firmest grasp on the meaning of
fundamental freedoms and precepts,
the people who should be
capable of solving the many delicate
problems and providing
leadership. Yet every one of them
seems to have missed the message
of the Freedom Riders. It is
unfortunate that the minds of the
leaders are the wildernesses in
which the voice is crying.
But it's only been a year, and
we can't expect much progress in
only a year. Part of the Southern
Way of Life is to be slow
and deliberate. We do not mind
the velocity, but we do expect
some degree of conscientious deliberation.
the action of Talladega Christians
last Sunday (Easter). At the same
time, you called us Pharisees because
we used the same media of
judgement that you used—the actions
of the groups attempting
to "kneel-in" our churches. Look
who's calling who a Pharisee!
There was no thought in the
minds of these Talladega Chris-than
to kick the negro groups out
and consign them to Hell Fire. I
know of instances in the past
two or three years when negroes
have attended white churches and
that by invitation and were made
most welcome. Not too long ago,
a certain negro died in Talladega
and there were probably as
many white people at his funeral
as negroes. The pallbearers
were white business men of the
town. I have been invited to
attend negro churches in the past
and was happy to accept the invitation.
You asked several rhetorical
questions in your editorial
which do not seem to me to apply
to any great degree in this
incident. Yes, the Lord Jesus
Christ did establish a spiritual institution,
but so long as His people
are in the flesh they are social
creatures and subject to sin
and prejudices just like yourself.
It takes the burning fire of the
Love of God to burn these things
out and it is a long, slow process.
The Lord Jesus did not create
two heavens, or establish two
churches along racial lines. All
christians are "one body in
Christ" no matter what the color
of their skin. At the same time,
we are human beings and tend to
group ourselves together in compatible
groups so far as possible.
This is by permission of the Spirit
of God in order that we might
work more effectively in His
Kingdom. That is the reason for
so many churches and denominations
and I pray that we will
never come together in one organic
church so long as we are
in this life. That is also the reason
the negro race requested
separation from the white
churches in the past.
Therefore, our refusal to • let
these groups in our churches, last
Sunday was not a matter of discrimination
against any race or
any person. In our best judgement,
it was the only thing to do
because of the emotional impact
of the demonstrations of the past
week in Talladega, and because
of their reasons for the attempt.
They were not interested in going
to church. They were interested
in the publicity they got.
My personal opinion is that both
races have been awfully stupid
in this race business. The troubles
we are now having, were
hatched back in 1925 in the minds
of the communists and they seem
to be able to outsmart us at every
turn—both races.
This letter is already too long,
but let me suggest something to
your bright young mind that
could cause you to do a lot of
thinking. The Lord Jesus said that
we are all like sheep and must
be led in right paths. Since there
is probably nothing as dumb as
a sheep, what does that do to our
ego?

Calendar Registration
Registration of campus activities
for the Summer and Fall Calendar
of Events will be open until
Tuesday, May 15. All recognized
student organizations are reminded
to register their meetings
and special events with Drew
Ragan, Union Program Director,
in room 303, Auburn Union.
Since many organizations are
inactive during the summer, registrations
will also be taken until
May 15 for Fall Quarter activities.
The Calendar of Events is a
compilation of all activities sponsored
by the University, recogn-broaden
the scope of next year's
ACOIA. This organization, in
Bert's opinion "has tremendous
potential and special effort should
be made toward improving it."
Another goal he hopes to achieve
early in his administration is the
fostering of better high school relations.
Specific plans will be
worked out as soon as the new
senate is completely organized.
As we go to press, Bert h as

Tiger Chances Slim-
As I recline, pondering, fondling my zarf, let me venture an
observation—
Tiger baseball chances are looking mighty slim—roughtly about
a googol to one against winning the Eastern Division championship
(whatever that means).
Some intellect (assuming there are any left) will probably spring
to your aid, telling you that the Tiger nine has posted a 13-5 .record to
date. He will further amaze you by telling you what a googol means.
Superlatives Chosen—
Jordan's grinding gridders completed their eleventh active day
of spring practice last Monday. The coaching staff at that time performed
an annual chore by selecting the "Spring Superlatives."
Larry Rawson was hurt shortly after the beginning of practice,
nevertheless, he was cited outstanding offensive back. Defensive back
is Billy Edge, offensive lineman—George Gross who seems to have
done well all around this year. Joe Eaughn was chosen defensive lineman,
and one can't help but speculate as to whether or not he will
follow in the golden cleated footsteps of ole brother Maxie. Offensive
and defensive ends were Howard Simpson and Howard Simpson, respectively.
Big Surprise—
The award drawing most interest this year goes under the label
of "Big Surprise." The recipient, Jimmy Partin, displayed diversified
talents during that fatal season of sixty-one as freshman quarterback.
I was extremely pleasured when the occasion finally occurred
that Mr. Paul "Bear" Bryant chose to step from his lair and speak to
the press. "Georgia Tech is probably going to have the best team in

Tigers Split Four With Vols, Tucky
Plainsmen Lose Chance For Crown
As Gators Lengthen Division Lead
By PETE MORGAN
Assistant Sports Editor
Auburn is virtually out of the Eastern Division championship
picture after dropping one game each to Tennessee and
Kentucky.
The Tigers, who were one-half game out of first place on
Wednesday, have now dropped behind two and one-half games
after Florida's four game sweep of
the same two teams.
In the first game with Tennessee
the Tigers were in their usual
form and downed the Vols by a
score of 4-1. Auburn picked up
four hits including right fielder
Bill Breakfield's two-run smash
which cleared the fence on one
hop in the fourth inning.
The Vols also got four hits, but
failed to score until the ninth inning
when second baseman Ken
Hudgens came across for the lone
Vol run.
Larry Dempsey was the winning
pitcher. He and loser Martin Jobe
each walked three men and struck
out five.
In the second game Tennessee
rolled up ten hits and rose to de

Auburn Plays Host
To Georgia Bulldog
By TERRY SCRUGGS
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn returns home for three
games this week after bowing out
of the Eastern Division title race
The Tigers absorbed two decisive
defeats this week at the hands of
the Tennessee Vols and the Ken
tucky Wildcats while the first
place Florida Gators were romping
to four consecutive wins over the
same two teams. The Gators virtually
nailed down the division t i tle
as they moved two and one-half
games in front. The Tigers
have only four games left to play.
A fast improving Alabama team
moves onto the Plains for a single
game next Monday. The Crimson
Tide has rebounded strong and is
playing .500 ball after a miserable
start. The rivalry, as always in
every sport, will be keen between
these two schools, even though all
hope of a division title is gone for
Auburn.
The Tigers will play host to the
tough Georgia Bulldogs this weekend.
Georgia has made a fine
showing in the SEC and is responsible
for one of Auburn's five
conference losses. The Tigers split

Gibson F. Dailey, Asst. to the President
George A. Fuller Company
"Extracurricular activities never really interested me...
architecture and construction always did. It's a paradox,
•though, because as it turned out student activities gave me
a big jump on my career in construction.
"Studies educated me. But college activities provided
the confidence I needed to approach the business world.
Looking back, it was these activities that really gave me
my first knowledge of people, administration, leadership.
"Working for the college newspaper, fun magazine, and
engineering bulletin taught me writing—a gift I use today
in the promotion and getting of new business. Student
Council brought the chance to work with other men—a
daily occurrence now. Penn's theatrical group and engineering
shows helped me relax in front of an audience
then —and help me find my voice when I'm talking to
large groups now.
"True, today's heavy college curriculum doesn't allow
much time for activities. There wasn't much time for them
in my day either. I burned a lot of midnight oil on architectural
studies, but difficult as they were I still found
time for student activities.—I'm mighty happy that I did.
"If you have time during the rest of your years in school
to take an interest in activities—do it! It's certain to pay
big dividends in an inspiring future in the business of
your choice."

inning when Otis Bibb doubled
and then scored on Wayne Fowler's
single.
Tennessee pitcher Jim Herbert
held the Tigers to only three hits,
as the Vols pounded the ball regularly
off of Gayden White.
The Tigers then moved on further
north to Lexington where
they met the Kentucky Wildcats
for 'a two game series, but again
found the going tough as they split
with the Wildcats.
Jim (Boyd applied a complete
whitewashing job to the Wildcats
in the first game as he pitched the
Tigers' to a~'5-0 shutout. Boyd gave
up only five hits, and allowed on-ularly
off Gayden White.
The Tigers banged off nine hits
from three different Kentucky pitchers,
as Larry Nichol's homer and
single, and Wayne Fowler's triple
and single led the Tigers in the
hitting department.
In the second game the Wildcats
snapped a four game losing streak
and came from behind to defeat
the Tigers, 7-4. This was the first
time that Kentucky had defeated
Auburn in twelve games of the
series that began back in 1956.
The Kentucky victory was a one
man show with Cotton Nash at
the-head, just as he was during the
basketball season. Nash's two
home runs brought six r u ns
across the plate. Larry Pursivil,
another Wildcat basketball star,
showed his hitting ability by
pounding three hits in five trips
to the plate.
The Wildcats spotted a run in
the second inning on doubles by
Larry Dempsy and Porter Gilbert.
Kentucky's Skip Noelker and Auburn's
Joe Overton then settled
down to a pitchers duel for four
innings.
Nash's first homer put the Wildcats
out front 3-1, but the Tigers
came back to tie it 3-3 in the
seventh. Then in the bottom of the
seventh Nash's second homer put
the 'Cats out in front by a 6-3
margin.
The Plainsmen will move up to
Tuscaloosa today to meet the
Crimson Tide in a game that
should prove very interetsing after
the Tide's 12-1 victory over the
Ole Miss Rebels last Friday.

Tigers 'Outslosh' Gators,
Take On Tech Saturday
By GEORGE JOHNSON
Plainsman Sports Writer
Rain, records and Florida fell
Saturday as Jerry Smith led Auburn
to a 75%-50y3 victory in
Cliff Hare Stadium.
Sophomore Smith set a new
Cliff Hare Stadium and Auburn-
Florida dual meet record for the
440 yard dash by sloshing to the
finish line in 47.9 seconds.
Corky Frost of Auburn was the
meet's only triple winner. He took
the low hurdles, the high hurdles
and the broad jump.
Auburn's Jimmy Dozier and
George Mann, along with Florida's
George Leach, were each
winners in two events.
Because of the rain, performances
in many of the events were
poor. Some parts of the track
were ankle deep in water.
Sidney Ruffin, Auburn's top
pole vaulter, pulled a muscle after
clearing the bar at 10 feet. It
is not known if he will be able
to compete next week.
The freshmen, led by Auburn's
John Anderson who set a new
frosh mile record of 5:26.4, tied
7-7.
Auburn, who remains undefeated
in three dual meets, travels
to Atlanta next Saturday for
a dual meet with Georgia Tech.

JIMMY DOZIER
Jim Dozier—Big Asset To Trackmen;
Leads League In Mile And 880 Runs
By CRAWFORD WELCH
Jimmy Dozier has been a big
asset to the success of the Auburn
track team the past four
years. Jimmy runs the mile, the
880 yard dash, and the mile relay.
Dozier began his track career
as a sprinter at Columbus High
School in Georgia, but because
the team needed an 880 man he
decided to give it a try. During
Jimmy's senior year in high
school he won the 880 event in
the class AAA, the Georgia All-class,
and the Ala-Ga relays. He
holds records for the 880 in the
All-class with a time of 1:58.9
and in the Ala-Ga meet with an
identical time.
Not only was the 6'2", 165
pound Dozier outstanding in
track, he also excelled in basketball.
His skill and technique
on the hardwood earned him a
spot on the. • Georgia All-Star
squad.
: Jimmy' came to Auburn as a
half-miler. But because of his
versatility, Coach Hutsell decided
to double him in the 880
and the mile, since the team
needed a man for the mile run.
The first time Jimmy ran the
mile in competition he won the
gruelling event with a respectable
time of 4:25.7.
Dozier is now a senior and this
year holds dual meet records
against Alabama and Georgia.
Against Georgia, he broke the

CRAM COURSE NO. 4: BATHYMETRY
Continuing our series of pre-final exam cram courses, today we
take up bathymetry—the study of ocean depths.
Admittedly, this is not a terribly popular course on most
campuses. And small wonder. In the whole world there is only
one bathyscape, and only two people can get into it.
Nevertheless, the study of ocean depths is of great importance.
Why, do you realize that the ocean is by far the world's
largest biological environment? The ocean has more than thres
hundred times as much living room as all the continents and
islands combined! Unfortunately, only fishes live in it.
And small wonder. Who'd want to live some place where he
couldn't smoke? Surely not I! I wouldn't give up my good
Marlboro Cigarettes for the Atlantic and the Pacific put together.
Nothing could induce me to forego Marlboro's fine
mellow flavor, Marlboro's clean white filter, Marlboro's flip-top
box that really flips, Marlboro's soft pack that's really soft.
Let others repair to the spacious deeps. Me, I will stick with
my Marlboros and the tiny garret I share with a tympanist.
But I digress. Back to the oceans. The largest, as we know,
is the Pacific, which was discovered by Balboa, a Spaniard of
great vision. To give you an idea of Balboa's vision, he first
saw the Pacific while standing on a peak in Darien, which is
in Connecticut.
Even more astounding, when Balboa reached San Francisco,
he clearly saw the Hawaiian Islands! Being, as we know, a
friendly cuss, Balboa waved merrily to the Hawaiians and
shouted, "Great little ocean you got here, kids!" The Hawaiians,
also, as we know, friendly cusses, waved back, declared a half
holiday, organized a luau, built a cheery fire over which they
prepared several gallons of poi, a suckling pig, and Captain
Cook. This, of course, was the origin of Cooking.
>j£iw^*ii*-s< Hho'J^fblttkP
But I digress. The Pacific, I say, is the largest ocean and also
the deepest. The Mindanao Trench, off the Philippines, measures
more than 5,000 fathoms in depth. (It should be pointed out
here that ocean depths are measured in fathoms—lengths of
six feet—after Sir Walter Fathom, a noted British sea measurer
of the seventeenth century who, upon his twenty-first birthday,
was given a string six feet long with which he used to go
scampering all over England measuring sea water until he was
arrested for loitering. A passion for measuring seems to have
run in the family; Fathom's cousin, Sir Sol Furlong, spent all
his waking hours measuring race tracks until Charles II had
him beheaded in honor of the opening of the London School of
Economics.)
But I digress. Let us, as the poet Masefield said, go down to
the seas again. (The seas, incidentally, have ever been a favorite
subject for poets and composers.) Who does not remember
Tennyson's "Break, break, break"? Or Byron's "Roll on, thou
dark anddeep blue ocean, roll"? Or the many hearty sea chanties
that have enriched our folk music—songs like "Sailing Through
Kansas" and "I'll Swab Your Deck If You'll Swab Mine" and
"The Artificial Respiration Polka." My own favorite sea chanty
goes like this:
A girl loved a sailor and lie did jilt her,
And she did weep and roar-ho!
Until she found a perfect filler,
And a perfect smoke—Marlboro.'
Sing hey, sing ho, sing ring-a-ding-ding,
Sing tars and spars and patches,
Sing pack and box and lots to like,
And don't forget the matches! © i962 M o i shuiman
The landlocked makers of Marlboro wish you smooth sail'
ing through your final exams and smooth smoking—with
Marlboro, of course. Have YOU settled back with a Marlboro

teams gained wins over their opponents
last week to move closer

AGR 4—SIGMA PI 0
The game of the year in softball
is over. Only seven hits were given
up by both pitchers: Watts—2 and
Kirkland—5. The score was 4-0.
They were all unearned runs. The
game was completely over in just
an hour and 25 minutes. Both
teams played well, and should be
commended for their good sportsmanship.

FRATERNITY ALL-STAR TEAM
The Plainsman is selecting an
all-star softball team and would
like to have suggestions and recommendations
from all fraternity
teams. Within the next week each
fraternity will receive a form to be
filled out and returned to the
Plainsman office. Each team is to
complete the roster of their form
with men other than those on their
own particular team. The forms
will be tallied and an all-star team
will be the result.

enter the NCAA meet again this
summer in Eugene, Oregon.
Dozier attributes much of his
success to the fine coaching of
Mel Rosen, Auburn's distance
coach. Dozier's efforts are
matched by few in the SEC.
Among those who challenge his
position are Jimmy Taylor of
Mississippi State and Bill Jennings

America next season," said Bryant. "If they don't get anybody hurt,
they'll have seven all-conference people playing across there."
Now, Now. ..
Now, Mr. Bryant, that sentiment is all well and good. Word has it,
thought, that people down at this end of the state (everywhere else
for that matter) still feel that last year's Number One is still the
Number One to beat—what with two potential Ail-Americans returning.
The men in focus are Leroy Jordan, center, and Mike Fraccia,
who may be slated to change from fullback to halfback in the coming
season.
This mention ofdrowing the Tide in its own tears is enough to
whet the appetites of Tiger backers 'round the state. Football season
is just visible across the summer and I, for one, have my flask (of
hot coffee) already packed. As the Tigers meet the Volunteers of Tennessee
next fall in Birmingham, perhaps even the sleeping Auburn
Spirit will awaken to cheer the best manned football power in the
SEC.
Tiger Linksfers Win,
Set For Tourney
In Athens Thursday
The Auburn golf team came
home with two victories as a result
of their road trip last week.
With wins of 19%-7y2) and
XSVi-Wy?. over Sewanee and
Vanderbilt respectively, the team
is assured of equaling the best
record ever posted by Auburn in
this sport. The record now stands
at 8-2 with a triangular match
with F.S.U. and Alabama remaining.
In the Sewanee match Hill
Boswell posted a 76 low score for
the day. The Auburn team as a
whole shot higher than usual
with A team average of 78. This
was more than enough; however,
Sewanee's low man carded a 79.
Against Vanderbilt, Boswell
was again the medalist, shooting
a 70. Vanderbilt's low man was
George Creagh with a 72. The
twosome of Boswell and Mike
Grover provided the winning
margin, defeating their oppo-nets,
8Vz-Vz.
The next event on the golf
team's schedule is the most important
one of the year, the
Southern Intercollegiate. It will
be payed Thursday through Saturday
of this week in Auburn.
Although the University of
Georgia will be the favorite because
of the home course advantage,
Auburn is expected to show
strength. Other strong teams en-be

SEC Wrapup...
(Continued from page 6)
tically nothing that can prevent
them from representing the eastern
division in the play-offs for
the conference crown. Even if
Florida looses their two remaining
games and Auburn, the second
place team, finishes their season
without another loss, the Gators
will still hold a one-half game lead
over the Tigers.
The Tigers did not enjoy complete
success on their four game
road trip. They added two victories
to their growing collection, but
they also absorbed two setbacks
that may have cost them the divisional
championship. Auburn
met both Tennessee and Kentucky
for a two-game series, and wound
up splitting with both teams. In
the two games that the Plainsman
lost, pitching was apparently the
weak department as the two opponents
together collected 24 hits.
These games left the Tigers with
a 9-5 conference slate and eliminated
any hopes of a title.
Elsewhere in* the- eastern division,
Georgia moved into third
place, without scoring any conference
victories- by virtue of Kentucky's
three losses. Georgia Tech
8—THE PLAINSMAN WednesJayrMay 2, 1962
took two games from Vanderbilt
to remain in fifth place and buried
the Commodores deeper in the
league cellar. Tennessee is only
one notch above Vandy with only
two conference wins.
In the western division, the Maroons
from Mississippi State
claimed their first divisional crown
in nine years by winning f o ur
games last week. The Maroons
scored double victories over Ole
Miss and LSU. This left State with
a 12-1 conference slate. Alabama
handed Tulane two more setbacks
and remained in second place with
a 6-6 SEC record. LSU, Ole Miss,
arid Tulane bring up the rear of
the western division.
Mississippi State and Florida
thus will meet in a three-game series
for the SEC title which carries
a berth in a the NCAA tournament.
However, Mississippi State's
policy of not competing in racially-integrated
athletic events will
probably keep the Maroons from
participating in the tournament.
This week is the last full week
of SEC activity the l a s t two
weeks will be mainly non-conference
action.
