CONGRATULATIONS!
i Congratulations to a team of
champions — the Tiger baseball
team. The mark of true cham­pions
is the ability to recover
from defeat. This the Plainsmen
>f Coach Paul Nix did in no un­certain
terms. After losing a
heartbreaker in the first game,
the Tigers came home to take
the deciding games in high style.
Special plaudits s h o u l d be
heaped upon pitcher Joe Overton,
^catcher Vic Svetlay, centerfielder
Jim Bachus, and shortstop Otis
Bibb. Each received a post on
the eastern division All-Confer­ence
Team. Overton, Svetlay, and
Bachus received a unanimous
vote from the coach's association.
Other standouts for Auburn this
year include Jim "Gator" Martin,
Wayne Fowler, George "Smiley"
.Nichols, Larry Dempsey, Jimmy
*Barfield, Mailon Kent, and Dink
Haire.
Next in line for the Plainsmen
will probably be the NCAA play­offs
in Gastonia, N.C.
At this writing the final deci­sion
is in the hands of the Council
of Deans.
The regional games are sche­duled
during finals and an official
act is necessary to permit the
team members to take exams one
or two days prior to the regular
schedule.
We expect this to be a mere
formality and that all will be
dear for the journey by the time
this reaches the reader's hands.
And while we're in the business
handing out individual bou-
.uets, we should not overlook the
uperb coaching job of Paul Nix.
h his rookie year with the Ti­gers,
Nix did the near impossible.
He guided a young team with
little experience to the conference
championship. This is no menial
task. The Plainsman applauds
Coach Nix for an outstanding
contribution to Auburn athletics.

Teachers Will Attend
AU Summer Institute
Twenty-one college teachers of
mathematics from 13 states, in­cluding
Alabama, have been ac­cepted
for participation in Au­burn
University's second sum­mer
institute.
The program is sponsored by
the National Science Foundation.
It is designed to strengthen the
knowledge of . college teachers,
particularly in the mastery of al­gebra
and analysis. Director of
the institute, one of 11 in the na­tion,
is Dr. L. P. Burton of the
Auburn mathematics staff.

Reorganization Of
ROTC Approved
Dr. Ralph Draughon, President
of Auburn University, recently
approved a major change in the
Army ROTC program.
The new program will go into
effect with the Fall, 1963 enroll­ment.
Those cadets presently en­rolled
in the advanced program
will continue under the old pro­gram
until they graduate.
General military science will be
the theme of the new program.
Over 200 of the 247 schools that
have Army ROTC are already
implementing the new program.
Under the revised program,
training will not be given in
specific corps branches as it is
presently done. The four branch­es,
Armor, Artillery, Signal and
Engineers will not exist as sep­arate
units. All cadets will re­ceive
the same training.
As far as the program at Au­burn
is concerned, there will be
no changes in credit hours, class­room
hours, or drill requirements.
The only major change will be in
classroom context.
Advantages, will' consequently
accrue to the individual. Under
the old system, a cadet was limit­ed
to the four branches offered
at Auburn University. The new
system offers numerous other
branches to him. An individual's
chances of being assigned to a
branch in which h i s academic
studies can be best utilized are
materially increased.
Baseball Tigers Capture Title

Overton Pitches Auburn To Victory
In Finale Of SEC Baseball Playoffs
By GERALD RUTBERG
Assistant Sports Editor
Combining superb pitching, clutch hitting, and solid de­fense,
Auburn's Tigers registered two "must" victories at
Plainsman Park to win a best-of-three series for the SEC
baseball championship over the Ole Miss Rebels.
After losing t h e first game in Oxford, Miss., on Wednes­day
by a 7-6 score, the Tigers
roared back behind the sparkling
mound work of George "Smiley"
Nichols and Joe Overton.
In Wednesday's tussle, t he
Plainsmen fell behind in the
e a r l y stages, rallied midway
through the game, but succumbed
in the ninth w h e n Mississippi
sophomore, Tommy Keyes, scored
the winning run on a scratch
single by sophomore c a t c h er
Richard Almond. Keyes received
credit for the pitching victory, al­though
facing only two batters
in the top half of the ninth. He
was playing first base, and was
summoned to pitch when the
Rebels got into trouble. Keyes
was also the day's leading batter
as he notched three hits, includ­ing
a double and two RBI's.
George Nichols was tagged for
the • loss when he relieved Jerry
Lewter, who in turn had relieved
Joe Overton, Auburn's ace hurl­er,
who was knocked out of the
box in the seventh inning. It
marked the first time in 10 sea­son
appearances that Overton
failed to go the route. The Tigers
left 11 men stranded on the bases,
though receiving seven hits and
nine free passes. .-
Though shelled in their initial
outings, both Nichols and Over­ton
were soon vindicated.
Moving to the friendly atmos­phere
of Plainsman Park, the
Tigers garnered a come-from-be-hind
win in Friday's game with
"Smiley" Nichols allowing only
five hits and striking out eight,
in a 7-4 verdict. Nichols thus
gained quick revenge for his rude
treatment on Wednesday.
Mississippi forged an early 3-0
lead, but Jim Bachus slammed an
assisted home run in the bottom
of the fourth to give the Tigers
their first run. His fourbagger
came w h e n Rebel outfielder,
Frank Lambert, deflected the ball
Dr. James L. Seal
To Retire In June
Thousands of former students
will pleasantly remember study­ing
general botany and plant dis­eases
under Dr. James Lewis
Seal, professor of botany, Auburn
University School of Agriculture,
who will retire June 30.
And well they may because
Dr. Seal has been a teacher, re­searcher,
and friend of students
at the University for 34 years.
During this period he taught
many fathers and sons first the
fundamentals of botany and later
the more specifics in plant dis­eases.
His plans call for three
months of loafing and then turn­ing
his attention to avocations.
Dr. Seal was reared a Green­wood
County, South Carolina,
farm boy, received a B.S. degree
from Clemson in 1913, and an
M.S. from Iowa State in 1916. He

make a runing catch. Lambert
slammed into the fence in his un­successful
attempt, and suffered
a head gash which forced him to
retire from the scene, although
he returned for Saturday's finale.
Auburn scored two more runs
in the last of the fifth after Rebel
Freddie Roberts had homered in
the top of the frame. Tiger runs
came as a result of two successive
walks and a single by second
baseman "Gator" Martin.

Annual Auburn Quarter Horse Show
To Attract Some Of Nation's Best
racing became popular in the
Colonies, the quarter horse mov-
Spme of the nation's best quarter horses are expected
here May 18 for the Block and Bridle Club's third annual
registered Quarter Horse Show at Auburn University. The
event will be held at the arena near McAdory Hall on the
Wire Road.
Judging of halter classes will
begin at 9 a.m., according to the
announcement by Club president
John Ramsey. Performance events
—roping, reining, barrel racing,
cutting, p o l e bending, western
pleasure, and a $100 added cut­ting
contest—are scheduled f or
1:30 p.m. Admission to the per­formance
events will be $1.00 for
adults and 50 cents for children
under 12. There is no charge for
the halter classes.
Judge for the 1963 show is Dave
Perkins, Hamburg, La. Dr. W. M.
, Warren, animal science depart­ment
head of Auburn University
School of Agriculture and Agri­cultural
Experiment Station, will
be master of ceremonies.
Proceeds from the show help
finance the judging team, scho­larship
fund, and other activities
of the Block and Bridle Club, an
organization of School of Agri­culture
students interested in
livestock production. The show
has shown f a s t growth since
Class C beginning in 1961 with
112 entries.
Last year there were 179 en­tries,
which qualified it for Class
B rating and made it Alabama's
second largest show. The students
are hoping for at least 225 entries
this year, to qualify as a Class
A show. During the first two
years, there have been entries
from as far away as Texas and
Oklahoma.
In the halter division, there
will be classes for stallions and
mares foaled in 1959 or before,
1960, 1961, and 1962. Gelding
classes will be for 1 and 2-year-olds,
3 and 4-year-olds, and 5
years and older. In addition, there
will be classes for get of sire and
produce of dam.
Performance classes for junior
and senior horses will include
western pleasure, cutting, roping,
and reigning. All age horses will
be eligible for the one class in
pole bending and one in barrel
racing.
Although quarter horses ori­ginated
in the Carolinas and Vir­ginia
during Colonial times, they
have had renewed popularity in
the Southeast in recent years. As
explained by C l u b president
Ramsey, the breed was originally
bred as a race horse for short dis­tance
races. As long distance
ed west and became noted as top
cow horses. The breed was main­tained
on western ranches and
again became known for short-distance
racing and in show
arenas. Today quarter horses are
found throughout t h e South,
Southwest, and Far West.
Auburn Livestock Judging Team Takes
Top Honors In Recent SEC Contest
Add one more Southeastern Conference championship
held by an Auburn University team.
The new champion is the livestock judging team of the
School of Agriculture. These students walked off with top
honors in the April 26 Southeastern Conference Livestock
Judging Contest held at the Uni
versity of Florida.
Six out of nine trophies award­ed
in the contest came back to
Auburn with the University's
"A" and "B" teams. These awards
were won in competition that fea­tured
18 teams from 12 colleges or
universities in Alabama, Kentuc­ky,
Louisiana, Illinois, Virginia,
West Virginia, Tennessee, Missis­sippi,
Georgia, South Carolina, and
Florida.
Overall team scoring records

Polytechnic Institute, South­ern
Illinois "B" team, University
of Georgia "A" team, and South­ern
Illinois "A" team. Also in the
top 10 was the Auburn "B" team,
which placed ninth with 4,116

Dr. Seal . . .
(Continued from page 1)
was a graduate assistant at Clem-son
1913-14 and did research on
breeding wilt-resistant cotton, and
two years later was instructor
in botany and plant pathology at
Iowa State College.
Returning to Clemson in 1916
as Extension pathologist, Dr. Seal
did general disease control work
until 1920. For the next five years
he was instructor in plant patho­logy
and was engaged in doctoral
study at the University of Minne
sota where he received his Ph.D.
in 1927. From 1925-29 Dr. Seal
was with the Florida State Plant
Board, Agricultural Experiment
Station in Gainesville, and the
Glades Station at Belle Glade.
Dr. Seal came to Auburn Uni
versity, then Alabama Poly tech
nic Institute, in 1929 as associate
professor a n d specialized in
teaching plant diseases until the
increase in enrollment in the
early 1940's made it necessary to
add general 'botany to his teach
ing duties. He became head of the
department of botany and plant
pathology in 1932 and served in
this capacity until July 1, 1954
when he relinquished the head­ship
to devote full time to teach­ing.
Dr. Seal did extensive writing
for technical journals. Some of
his subjects included: molds of
silage; brown rot of stone fruits;
coconut bud rot; diseases of
beans; diseases of small grains;
and diseases of vetches and Aus­trian
peas.
Dr. Seal married Harriett Pam-mel
in December 1916, the daugh­ter
of his major professor at Iowa
State. They had two sons. The
oldest, James Pammel, who died
in 1957, graduated in agricultural
science at Auburn in 1941 and did
additional study at Iowa State.
William Louis received a B.S. in
agricultural science in 1949, and
an M.S. in entomology from Au­burn
University in 1955.
A dedicated teacher, Dr. Seal
influenced the lives of many

Stuckey Receives
Professional Award
A junior in mechanical engi­neering
at Auburn University has
received honorable mention for a
professional paper presented re­cently
at the Southern Metals
Conference at Charlotte, N. C.
W. Rex Stuckey is the first un­dergraduate
in the department at
Auburn to compete in the inter­state
conference. Subject of his
paper was the "Age Hardening of
Aluminum Alloys."
Stuckey became interested in
his subject through experiments
in a metallurgy course at Auburn.
He reported and extended the
study for presentation at the con­ference.
In his paper, Stuckey reviewed
the principles and theory of the
age hardening process, showing
the relationship of the composi­tion
and structure of a commer­cially
important alloy. His ex­perimental
study demonstrated
the metallurgical engineering de­sign
concepts, using an alloy
which has basically an alumi­num-
copper composition.
Stuckey was provided trans­portation
to the conference by
Southeastern Iron Corporation of
Columbus, Ga., to compete with
undergraduates from Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, North Caro­lina
State and Georgia Tech.

Tau Beta Pi is the scholastic
honorary for engineering students.
The Tau Beta Pi constitution
states as its main objective "to
mark in a fitting manner those
who have conferred honor; upon
their alma mater by distinguished!
scholarship and exemplary char­acter
as undergraduates in engi­neering."
Qualifications for Tau Beta Pi
are that a senior engineering stu­dent
have a 2.00 point average
and a junior have a 2.25 average.
Does a man really take unfair advantage of women
when he uses Mennen Skin Bracer?
*
All depends on why he uses it. '
Most men simply think Menthol-Iced Skin Bracer is the best
after-shave lotion around. Because it cools $jther than burns.
Because it helps heal shaving nicks and scrapes. Because it
helps prevent blemishes.
So who can blame them if Bracer's crisp, long-fasting aroma
just happens to affect women so remarkably?
Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because
of this effect. ——.

Lt. Cmdr. Strong To Leave
After Service To Auburn
One of the overlooked factors is the contribution of the var-in
the academic life at Auburn ious military leaders who pa­rade
through the campus on a
three-year basis. Among these is
Lt. Cmdr. W. L. Strong, instruc­tor
and senior advisor, Naval
ROTC.
Mr. Strong's third and final
graduating c l a s s is about to
leave Auburn, and this time, the
commander will l e a v e with
them. He has seen students from
all walks of life, from all fields
of interest, and with every im­aginable
problem come through
his classes, which appropriately
enough consist of Naval leader­ship.
Students in every activity
from president of the student
body to commander of the mid­shipmen
battalion have come
under his tutelage. All h a ve
been watched carefully and
guided when the occasion war­ranted.
Many of those in uniform who
come to teach here also learn
\
Mr. Strong
here. Mr. Strong is one of these.
Taking courses in addition to his
instruction duties, he attained a
degree from Auburn in 1961.
Lt. Cmdr. Strong was born in
Brunswick, Ga. in August, 1926.
He was graduated from the
United States Naval Academy in
1948. A career Navy man and
advisor, Mr. Strong has seen
duty on ship and shore from
'celand to China. A Spanish in­structor
at the Naval Academy
from 1953-56, he has applied this
worldwide perspective to his
classes there and at Auburn.
Like many other of his mili­tary
counterparts at Auburn,
Mr. strong will leave Auburn
this year for new duty assign­ments.
Leaving with a statement
that might well apply for those
instructors of t h e Air Force,
Army and Navy who are leav­ing,
he says, "We shall miss Au­burn,
the university, and above
all, the people here."

Navy Frogman Enrolled
In Veterinary School
Not all of today's students are eager-eyed high school
graduates. Some are men and women who have literally "led
other lives." Ex-Navy Lt. Douglas Van Zandt is an example.
He was a frogman.
At A u b u r n University to pursue a second career in veter-

inary medicine, Van Zandt adds
a new dimension to college life,
bringing with him unusual ex­periences
for exploration and
sharing.
A graduate zoologist when he
entered the Navy, Van Zandt
was for seven years among that
little corps of steel-nerved divers
whose job it is to search out and
de-fuse unexploded w e a p o ns
which are either accidentally
dropped by the United States or
planted by the enemy.
For those who imagine diving
and dismantling work to be a
glamorous profession with slow
motion knife fights and beautiful
women in warm brilliant waters,
Van Zandt corrects the notion.
He can explain the feeling of
a 40-second time limit in which
to defuse a bomb of unknown ori­gin.
He can explain how it feels
to be an intruder in another
world, a visitor to nature's big­gest
art gallery, alone on a reef
dependent only on one's own
knowledge.
"The impossible becomes pos­sible
in order to survive," Van
Zandt says. . ,
As a member of the Explosive
Ordnance Disposal crew, Van
Zandt had to be ready at any time
of day or night to make things
safe from zip guns to hidden
mines.

Science And Literature School Called
Oldest At All, But "Least Understood"
By JAMES SIMS
Plainsman Features Writer
Though it is the third largest of Auburn's 10 schools,
Science and L i t e r a t u r e is probably the least understood in
function and purpose. The School of Science and L i t e r a t u re
offers work leading to either the Bachelor of Arts or the
Bachelor of Science is such fields as Math, Physics, Econo­mics,
Philosophy, and others. Also
vast French sewer. But he was
born with a four-leaf clover, for
Van Zandt exceeded the time
limit allotted most under-water
demolition men. Before entering
Auburn,' he was stationed at Ft.
Lauderdale, in charge of the
Navy's Experimental Diving Unit.
His last official job was the dis­mantling
'of black market arms
bound for Castro.
Returning to school is an ad­justment
for any who have used
the world as tneir classroom, even
when it means "storing up secur
ity."
included in the school are Busi­ness
Administration, Pre-Law,
Pre-Dentistry and Pre-Medicine.
Another important function of
the School lies in the services it
performs for other schools. No
matter what school a student may
be enrolled in, chances are ex­cellent
that he will take several
courses in the school of Science
and Literature before his grad­uation.
The l a c k of • understanding
among students as to the purposes
of the School of Science and Lit­erature
has been one of the ma­jor
concerns of the Science and
Literature Organizations Council
this year. One step toward elim­ination
of this student misunder­standing
has been the strengthen­ing
of the council. It is felt that
by strengthening the council, bet­ter
information channels can be
established, thereby giving stu­dents
a better idea of just why
the School of Science and Lit­erature
exists and what its func­tion
is.
In an effort to inform prospec­tive
Auburn students about the
school, the Science and Literature
Council coordinated the Village
Fair activities of the various or­ganizations
represented in t he
council in order to present a clear,
unified picture of the school. The
displays prepared by the several
organizations attempted to pre­sent
the visitor with the many
opportunities for study available
in the school.
The School of Science and Lit­erature
is the oldest in the Uni­versity.
Composed of nine de­partments,
the school has sought
through the years to "Equip the
student with a broad and liberal
education and thereby enable him
to discharge more effectively the
duties of a citizen."
Officers for the School of
Science and Literature this year
are Tom Flournoy, president; and
Allison Jones, vice-president.

LET THERE BE LIGHT
The Physical Education Club has launch­ed
an all-out attempt to secure lighting for
the tennis courts. This is not being pre­mature.
With the limited recreational fa­cilities
available to the energetic Auburn
student, it is important that we take full
advantage of the existing ones.
It is realized that an inclusive lighting
system on these courts would be an enor­mous
and expensive undertaking. One pos­sible
compromise might be the establish­ment
of lights on a portion of the playing
area.
It might be suggested that the lights
presently blaring out in one of the Mag­nolia
Dormitories parking lots might be
used for this purpose. Seme of the long
term students recall that this particular
parking lot is a converted tennis court sys­tem
that was most adequate for m a ny
years.
It would seem that completion of this
project could be brought about quite effi­ciently
and effectively. Only a small a-mount
of additional equipment would be
needed for the conversion and the lights,
themselves, would certainly serve a more
useful purpose.
It is said that nothing stands still—it
either moves ahead or it moves backward.
Leaving an expensive set of lights to sur­round
a parking lot while the university
tennis courts stand in darkness is by no
means a step forward.
We commend the strenuous efforts of
this particular student organization and
heartily suggest that other such groups un­dertake
similar projects with the prospect
of a more livable university in mind.
It might help to justify their existence
on campus.
'THE APARTMENT
The Women's Student Government As­sociation
passed a measure Monday night
which will allow women students classified
as sophomores, juniors and seniors to visit
apartments on campus with written permis­sion
from their parents. Higher sources
must still pass on the measure before it
becomes final. Under the previous rule,
sophomores, juniors and seniors were al­lowed
to visit apartments with parents'
"special permission" and the added stipu­lation
that there be at least three girls
present. Each girl was required to list the
names of her two companions on her sign
out card. Parents' permission is the only
requisite of the new measure.
We meet this new proposal with approv­al.
Under the previous regulation, coeds
were faced with a situation where they had
to list companions whom they probably
never knew existed. The new proposal
recognizes the judgment of parents. It
places the responsibility of trust on the
shoulders of the young lady. An Auburn
coed is recognized for what she is, a ma­ture
young woman who is given credit for
being able to uphold the highest standards
of conduct.
We further commend the women for ex­cluding
freshman girls from this privilege.
A year of good example, growth and mat­urity
is a thing to be desired.
It is our hope that this proposal will be­come
established policy. If the privilege is
granted, the responsibility for mature so­cial
conduct will then be ours. We, the
student body of Auburn, eagerly anticipate
assuming the trust.—Wilkinson.
WAR ON THE GREEK FRONTS
Another of the seemingly never-ending
conflicts between the Interfraternity Coun­cil
and the Panhellenic Council has oc­curred.
The proposed rush system for fall,
1963 was the scene for the latest Waterloo.
IFC proposed a program whereby individ­ual
fraternities would be able to rush with
a sorority for one night. Spaced over a two-night
period, this program would have al­lowed
each fraternity to have rushed with
a sorority.
Conflict arose when the measure neces­sitated
Panhellenic's rushing on the prev­ious
Sunday in order to complete their
rush and participate with the fraternities
on two nights during the latter part of the
week. This proposal was voted down 9-3 in
the recent Panhellenic meeting with only
Phi Mu, Kappa Delta, and Delta Zeta back­ing
the fraternity sponsored program.
We are not sufficiently informed of the
Panhellenic viewpoint to make a judgment.
It does seem, however, that the principle
role of Panhellenic in past months has
been to negate IFC sponsored programs. At
any rate, the lack of communication be­tween
these groups must be eradicated.
Many innocent rushees will be deprived of
making early social acquaintances as a re­sult
of this latest action. The implications
for undesirable ends are untold. We would
highly recommend a summit conference
between the student leaders of these two
groups. Working together, they can be a
vital asset to the welfare of the campus.—
Wilkinson.
THE PUTTERING IRRITANTS
On a university campus of major size,
there are bound to be a number of small
irritants puttering around. We would like
to call attention today to the motorcycles,
motorscooters and trucks which disturb
classes in all buildings bordering campus
thoroughfares.
Of particular irritation is that portion of
Magnolia Avenue from Duncan Drive to
College Street. The aforementioned ve­hicles
must shift to low gear to climb the
grade, and in so doing, they gear indus­trious
professors and students in nearby
buildings for the insane asylum.
We wonder if the Buildings and Grounds
Department could work out an arrange­ment
with the Auburn police department
to abate these noises at least during morn­ing
class hours when adjacent buildings to
the streets are jammed with those seeking
the pearls of higher education. The class­room
curriculum is generally sufficient to
wreck a student's nerves, Motor scooters
and the like are absolutely too much to
bear.—Wilkinson.

THE VOLUNTEERS
The Pro And Con . . .
Drinking Rules Concerning Auburn Coed
Main Topic In WSGA Workshop Talks
Auburn University is like an
adolescent suffering from grow­ing
pains; the body strains and
stretches in order to grow larger
and stronger, while something
within clings to the past and is
afraid to let go. We are poten­tially
a progressive university.
Our modern buildings, enlarged
curricuja, and rising standards for
admission are evidences of this.
So why do we insist on holding
back on progress; why do we
make so-called "honorable" at­tempts
to isolate ourselves and
our school from reality?
The reasons for this attitude of
isolationism may be honorable,
but more likely they are merely
a distrust of the individual and
an idealistic belief that exper­ience
does not count. These are
the most un-democratic reasons
which any legislative body could
possibly give. As a nation, we
supposedly believe that every in­dividual
has a right to decide for
himself and that he will make his
decision wisely. But on this cam­pus
there are individuals, student
leaders, who feel that they must
protect their constituents by leg­islating
according to personal
feelings or beliefs.
These representatives fail to
represent; they distrust the indi­vidual;
and in fact, do no more
than play the "mama" role while
paying lip-service to democracy.
They refuse to let the individual
assume any responsibility toward
self-discipline. In short, these
leaders are striving for a larger
and more isolated /Vuburn.
We do n o t mean to criticize
severely, but how can it be help­ed?
W h a t could be a greater
democratic injustice than that of
the representative refusing or de­nying
his constituents the right to
choose? A recent issue brought
before the WSGA Workshop was
the right of Auburn womeni over
the legal age of 21 to drink in
moderation. As might be suspect­ed,
tempers flared, the garrulous
talked, and personal feelings were
used as arguments against revi­sion
of the rule. Among the argu.
ments against the revision were:
"it will lower the public's opinion
of Auburn students;" "it will set
a terrible example for the fresh­men;"
"we are representatives of
Auburn and should not drink;
and so forth."
At this point, the pro-revision
faction retorted with their views*
Why should the college restrict
the female student even m o re
than the state restricts the female
citizen? Why make girls break
rules, why lead people to believe
that drinking is not true-to-life?
Couldn't the Junior Counselors
explain to incoming freshmen—
however unspotted f r o m the
world—that women of the legal
age here at Auburn are even
more responsible than the aver­age
female citizen not attending
school? There is no excuse for
this maternal, pretentious gov­erning
system which obliterates
the individual's need for self-discipline—
experience counts.
The conservatives replied that
the average) 21 year old coed has
led a sheltered life and will not
be able to decide right from
wrong. I disagree. Most of us can
By Diane Snoddy
distinguish the difference, and
those who can't should be learn­ing
to. Is college not a place
W h e r e tomorrow's housewives
and citizens are trained? Doesn't
every mistake made and accepted
as such lead to maturity?
But at Auburn there are few
mistakes made, since there' are
few opportunities to choose. There
are opportunities to break rules,
however. And extremely w i se
and mature or extremely chicken
is the student who hasn't broken
one. It's a fairly safe thing to
disregard ru!es, because they are
not strictly enforced. The very
fact that many of our regulations
are ridiculed should cause con­cern
among the student leaders.
Why have rules y o u can't or
won't enforce?
Perhaps, the reason for this
slack enforcement of regulations
is the banality of the rules in­volved.
Maybe they are unfair—
the products of short-sighted in-.
dividuals, who are distrustful of
their fellow man and who refuse
him the right to assume respon­sibility
for himself.
This is not a plea for a party-school,
but it is a plea for r e -
evaluation of legislative motives.
There is no doubt that the inten­tions
of the legislators are good,
but aren't these intentions and
•motives a bit too personal?

Writer Haunts Campus Late At Night,
Searches Vainly For Column Material
By Sam Tower
The time is 1:3ft a.m. The date
is Tuesday, May 14, 1963. And
here s i t s a forlorn Plainsman
columnist trying to think of ma­terial
for a last minute literary
effort for this week's sheet.
Many thoughts pass through his
brain, but none seems worthy of
a full column.
While he fights to stay awake,
his thoughts wander to a m a n
who m u s t be fighting to stay
asleep. In a very few hours he
will ride the pin head of a roar­ing
flame into outer space, and
attempt to stay there longer than
any American has yet. What is
- passing through his mind now?
At this very moment a huge
object stands alone in the night
air, under the glare of powerful
searchlights. All the knowledge,
all the knowhow, all the ingen­uity
of man since the dawn of
creation has been poured into
that o n e ghostly object. What
must now be passing through the
minds of the thousands of men
who will share in the glory or the
blame for what will happen this
morning?
By the time we go to press, the
tale will be told. But for now
we can only wonder and wish
him luck.
Two brassy gongs float across
the campus from Samford Hall
and bring him back to reality.
Still he needs material for a
column. "Perhaps if I take a
walk," he thinks, "something will
come to me."

Entire Plainsman staff breaking
into wild laughter after learning
that Auburn co-eds have been
given "blanket" permission to
visit male apartments with par­ent's
permission.
The campus is peaceful a n d
quiet. Around him all the world
seems to be asleep. Ross and
Broun and Samford also abide in
the ghostly shadows of search­lights.
A few lights still burn in Ross.
It takes either a dedicated or a
worried man to stay on the job
this late.
Up above, the stars twinkle in­vitingly.
In just a little while the
population up there may be in­creased
by one. Man is just tak­ing
his first steps into a whole
new frontier, and even the sky is
no limit. Alabama—and the South
—is in a unique position to lead
the way into space if it only
would and could. Education is the
key, but unfortunately it takes
cold hard cash to turn the key.
Meanwhile vast amounts of
space research money are pouring
into California a n d Massachu­setts.
But of course, much more
important problems than m e re
education weigh heavily on Ala­bama.
Once again a passing car and
the faint far away sound of a
locomotive horn bring him back
to reality.
"Now there's an idea," he
thinks, "The railroads have suf­fered
untold government and un­ion
abuses. That might be meat
for a column . . . spmetime when
I have more time."
Still there is something reas­suring
about the sound of a train
rolling across the plains at night.
The rumbling roar and the occa­sional
sound of an air horn lend
the assurance that there are still
people around whose 'feet are sol­idly
emplanted on the earth.
Not too many years ago instead
of air horn there would have been
the low mournful whistle of a
steam locomotive, the very sound
of romance itself! Progress affects
everything sooner or later.
As he turns his steps toward
home, once again the stars catch
his eye. They wink almost taunt­ingly.
"Somewhere," he s a y s ,
"somewhere up there, there must
be other life. I wonder if we'll
ever know. Maybe I'll write a
column about it sometime."
Newly-Elected Student Body President
Recaps Past Year, Presents New Ideas
By Jim Vickrey
Student Body President
This is the text of the inaugural
address given by the new Stu­dent
Body President, Jim Vick­rey.
* *'*!
This time last spring I tried
to appreciate the vast responsi­bility
that had fallen on Bert
Hitchcock's shoulders as a result
of his selection as Student Body
President; I tried but I could not
then fully comprehend what his
new job meant. Now, however, I
have little trouble understand­ing
how he must have felt last
May and I can now appreciate
the sigh of relief that he express­ed
at the inaugural banquet. In
her prize-winning novel, To Kill
A Mockingbird, Harper Lee has
Atticus Finch say that you never
know what another man feels un­til
you "step in his shoes and
walk around in them." I stand in
Bert's shoes: 'Im trying to walk
aroud in them, but they feel too
big to be filled. Nevertheless, I
shall try.
A new year, full of dangerous
opportunities and possibilities of
service to Auburn, stretches be­fore
my imagination and humbles
me with the prospects of what—
with the help of God—might be
done. I can only pray that some­how
I, and your other student
leaders, c a n f i n d sufficient
strength and a wisdom not our
own that will prove equal to the
task. Our year could be the most
significant year in our school's
history. We stand very near a de­cisive
crossroad. Years of heritage
and spirited tradition a r e in­trusted
with us now. We must
maintain what Auburn has ac­complished
in the past by seeking
future goals with the same ra­tional
mind that has characteriz­ed
the past. We must rely on r e ­sponsible
leadership, now more
than ever, if Auburn and all we
hold dear about Auburn are to be
preserved. Let us all pray that
we may rise to face the chal­lenges
that shall surely test our
very existence.
Student government is a pecu­liar
animal: on any campus it is
either a force or a farce—rarely
is it neutral. Student government
is either an active, efficient, use­ful
organziation. that provides
services to its students Ito • make'
college life more profitable, and
enjoyable; or else it is a farce, a
joke ,a tale told by idiots, full of
sound, fury, and campaign prom­ises
signifying nothing because
pseudopoliticians a r e trying to
make it into a grandiose political
plaything in order to fatten their
egos with the prospects of being
named "Who's Who in American
Colleges and Universities" or be­ing
dubbed "Campus Wheel." As
long as we continue to perceive it
as an organization of the campus
elite instead of an opportunity to
se' ice our campus and its stu-d.
iits, student government shall
then continue to be tainted with
the stigma of "no-nothingness."
At the recent SUSGA Confer­ence
at L.S.U., we spent many
hours discussing the role of stu­dent
government, seeking answ­ers
to the question of its func­tion:
does student government
exist primarily to serve the stu­dent
body, or is its purpose to
provide a cunning little labora­tory
to train tomorrow's leaders
by supplementing classroom edu­cation
with on-the-job training?
Admittedly, both of these con­cepts
are important; indeed, they
are basic to our way of life. In
my opinion the primary emphasis
of student government should
and must be service to the stu­dents
whose will effects its exis­tence.
Without this overriding
concept of service, we student
leaders miss entirely the point of
our election and can very easily
go the way to dusty death by
falling prey to the arch-enemy,
pride.
If the interests of this student
body are not our primary con­cern,
then our labor is in vain,
our work is utterly useless and
student government will that
much more be considered a farce.
On the other hand, however, if
we take this opportunity of of­fice
and seek diligently to work
for Auburn and not for self, then
and only then can we stand
proudly next spring and pray in­wardly,
"GOD, thank you for
service and what you have effect­ed
through us," and only then can
we hear the cogent reply, "well
done, good and faithful servant."
Possibilities for t h e coming
. year are endless; we can set some
very high and lofty goals:
The revitalization of the Au­burn
Conference on International
Affairs; a campus wide political
rally for prospective candidates
in coming elections a n d much
stiffer qualifications; a 50 p e r
cent vote turnout; the mainten­ance
of law a n d order at all
times; increased relations w i th
foreign students on campus; and
the creation of a "department of
state," are goals to be sought.
The principal limiting factor in
what we can accomplish n e xt
year is how much we are willing
to give to Auburn, and how little
we obtain for ourselves. Let us
live this year to the fullest; let
us return 12 months of dedicated
service to the student body for
this opportunity to serve; let us
not be sad because we missed this
dangerous opportunity.
In conclusion, I would remind
you of
THE AUBURN CREED
• I believe that this is a practical
world and that I can count only
on what I earn. Therefore, I be­lieve
in work, hard work. I be­lieve
in education, which gives me
the knowledge to w o r k wisely
and trains my mind and hands to
work skillfully. I believe in hon­esty
and truthfulness, without
which I cannot win the respect
and confidence of my fellow men.
I believe in a sound mind, in a
sound body and a spirit that is
not afraid, and in clean sports
that develop these qualities. I
believe in obedience to law be­cause
it protects the right of all.
I believe in my country, because
it is a land of freedom and be­cause
it is my own home, and that
I can best serve that country by
"doing justly, loving mercy, and
walking humbly with my God."
And because Auburn men and
v imen believe in these things, I
believe in Auburn and love it. -
I pledge myself and all t h e
powers in my command to you
and Auburn for a year of work
and devotion to the duty that is
now mine.

Water Resources Study Funds
Designated For University Site
Way has been cleared for establishing at Auburn Uni­versity
a Water Resources Research Institute which has "great
potential for every segment of this state's population."
A bill designating Auburn University as the state agency
to accept Federal funds under a nationwide program is on the
desk of Gov. George C. Wallace .„ .,•• •• -':.. ., . „
of all segments of the Alabama
population."
Bailey explained that the pro­gram
would influence industry,
agriculture, business, health, rec­reation
and other important areas
of Alabama life.
A Washington source said that
"ultimately this water resources
study will have the same degree
of importance as the Hatch Act
program for agricultural research
aeross the land."
Funds which would come to
Auburn would be used principally
for employment of additional r e ­search
personnel and payment of
present faculty members who
would be employed part-time in
the program. Some of this latter
group would probably go on half-time
teaching schedules so that 50
per cent of their time could be
devoted to the Water Resources
Research Institute.
The measure which designates
Auburn as the site for the water
resources study also specifies that
the work conducted through the
Institute will be coordinated with
the Geological Survey of Alabama.
Dr. Bailey emphasized that
functions of the Institue will
complement rather than duplicate
or replace the work of the Geo­logical
Survey.
Many projects already exist at
Auburn in the field of water r e ­sources
research. Dr. Bailey said
that 23, or approximately one-half
of Auburn's formal departments
are now working on such projects
for signature.
Under the joint State-Federal
program up to a quarter million
dollars annually would be avail­able
to AU for water resources re­search
within two years.
Alabama House Bill 112, passed
unanimously by the Legislature
during the recent special session
on education, authorizes the Au­burn
Board of Trustees and the
president to establish and admin­ister
a broad-based research pro­gram
on water resources.
U. S. Senate Bill 2, establishing
a nationwide program under the
Department of the Interior and
approved by the Senate, now
awaits action in the House and the
President's signature.
The Federal program would
make available $75,000 to each of
the 50 state institutes the first
year and $100,000 annually after
two years.
Auburn University's appropria­tion
request to be considered dur­ing
the present regular session of
the Legislature includes $50,000
annually for operation of the In­stitute
here. This money would
qualify as matching funds under
the Federal program.
Dr. Wilford S. Bailey, chairman
of the ad hoc committee appointed
by President Ralph B. Draughon
to work specifically on planning
for the Water Resources Research
Institute, said that the program
has "tremendous possibilities for
the future welfare and prosperity

HOW TO SEE EUROPE
FOR ONLY $300 A DAY: NO. 3
When all of you go to Europe during your summer vacation,
you will certainly want to visit Spain, where the tall com grows,
The first thing you will notice upon entering Spain is the
absence of sibilants. In Spain "s'Ms pronounced "th" and
thereby hangs a tale. Until the reign of, Philip IV—or Guy
Fawkes, as he was sometimes called—Spaniards said "s" just
like everybody else. Philip IV, however, lisped, and Spaniards,
having an ingrained sense of propriety and not wishing to em­barrass
their monarch, decided that everybody should lisp. This
did indeed put Philip IV very much' at his ease, but in the end
it turned out to be a very bad thing for Spain. It wrecked the
sassafras industry—Spain's principal source of revenue—and
reduced the nation to a second-class power.
Aotetf h
As a result, Spaniards were all forced to turn to bull fighting
in order to keep body and soul together. Today, wherever you
go in Spain—in Madrid, in Barcelona, in Toledo, in Cleveland
—you will see bulls being fought. For many years the bulls
have sought to arbitrate this long-standing dispute, but the
Spaniards, a proud people who use nothing but Castile soap,
have rejected all overtures.
It is therefore necessary for me to explain bull fighting to
anyone who is going to Spain. It is also necessary for me to
say a few words about Marlboro Cigarettes because they pay
me for writing this column, and they are inclined to pout if I
ignore their product. In truth, it is no chore for me to sing the
praises of Marlboro Cigarettes, for I am one who fairly swoons
with delight when I come upon a cigarette which gives you the
full, rich taste of good tobaccos plus the pure white Selectrate
filter, and Marlboro is the only smoke I have found that fulfills
both requirements. Oh, what a piece of work is Marlboro! The
flavor reaches you without stint or diminution. You, even as I,
will find these statements to be happily true when once you
light a Marlboro. Marlboros come to you in soft pack or Flip-
Top box, and are made only by the makers of Marlboro.
But I digress. Let us return to bull fighting. Bulls are by
nature bellicose creatures who will keep fighting till the cows
come home. Then they like to put on pipe and slippers and
listen to the "Farm and Home Hour." However, the Spaniards
will not allow the bulls any surcease. They keep attacking the
bull and making veronicas—a corn meal pancake filled with
ground meat. Bulls, being vegetarians, reject the veronicas
and then, believe you me, the fur starts to fly!
To be perfectly honest, many Spaniards have grown weary
of this incessant struggle and have left their homeland. Co­lumbus,
for example, took off in three little ships—the Patti,
the Maxene, and the Laverne-and discovered Ohio. Magellan
later discovered Columbus. Balboa also sailed to the New
World, but he was silent on a peak in Darien, so it is difficult
to know what he discovered.
Well sir, I guess that's all you need to know about Spain.
So now, as the setting sun casts its rosy fingers over El Greco,
let us take our reluctant leave of Spain-or Perfidious Albion,
as it is jocularly called. Aloha, Spain or Perfidious Albion, aloha!
© 1983 M M ghulmaa
Let us not, however, take our leave of smoking pleasure. Let
us keep enjoying I hose fine Marlboro Cigaret tes—rich, golden
tobacco—pure white Selectrate filter—soft pack or Flip-Top
box—available in all fifty States of the Union.
or will be in the near future.
While the measure provides for
an Institute' director , and office
personnel, Dr. Bailey explained,
no central laboratory nor signifi­cant
increase in personnel is anti­cipated
in the near future. Instead,
research will be conducted by
staff members who will work
within existing departments.
Certain phases of studies might
well be conducted in any of Au­burn's
nine schools, Dr. Bailey
noted, although it is anticipated
that the majority will be within
the Schools of Agriculture, Engi­neering,
Chemistry, and Science
and Literature.
Dr. Bailey also pointed out that
the program is designed not only
to support research, but in so do­ing,
to support education and
training of scientists and specia­lists
in this field.
"Alabama is in an enviable po­sition
in terms of water resources
and the potential value to the state
industrially and otherwise," said
Dr. Bailey. "While this state has
1/59 of the total land area in the
nation, it has 1/4 of the national
surface fresh water.
The Institute could well be in
operation at Auburn within two
or three months, and work would
be expanded appreciably with the
signing of the federal bill into law
during this session of Congress,
Dr. Bailey said.
Other staff members at Auburn
serving on the committee with Dr.
Bailey are Dr. Karl Brenkert Jr.,
assistant dean, School of Engi­neering;
Dr. Coyt Wilson, asso­ciate
director and assistant dean
of Agriculture; Dean Roger W.
Allen, School of Science and Lit­erature,
and Dean C. R. Saunders,
School of Chewiistry. Also ap­pointed
to work with- the com­mittee
was Edwin M. Crawford,
director of University Relations.

Dr. Howes Receives
NSF Travel Grant
The American Institute of Nu­trition
and the National Science
Foundation have awarded Dr. J.
R. Howes of the Department of
Poultry Science at Auburn Uni­versity
a travel grant which will
enable him to attend the Sixth
International Nutrition Congress
in Edinburgh, Scotland next Au­gust.
Howes will present a r e ­port
to the congress on work
carried out at Auburn in con­junction
with Messrs. W. Grub
and C. A. Rollo, engineers, and
Dr. A. E. Drake, statistician.
These workers are cooperting in
the area of avian environmental
physiology and shelter engineer­ing.
The paper to be presented at
the congress concerns the effects
of continuous high temperatures
upon dietary calcium and protein
requirements.
Visits will also be made to
scientific institutions and univer­sities
in the United States, Can­ada,
and Britain before attend­ing
the Nutrition Congress in
Scotland. Howes has also been
invited to attend the 1963 com­memoration
banquet of the Board
of Governors of Wye College of
the University of London, h i s
alma mater, w h e n the College
celebrates its 514th year as an
institution of higher learning this
coming June.
In late August, on the return
journey to Auburn, Howes will
stop in Washington, D.C. to at­tend
the Sixteenth International
Zoology Congress. He will pre­sent
at this meeting a paper con­cerning
the X-ray difraction ana­lysis
of egg shells as a possible
technique in avian speciation.
This work was carried out in co­operation
with Dr. A. N. Heyn of
t h e Department of Physics at
Auburn University.

Auburn Wins In SEC,
Makes Plans For NCAA
By GEORGE GARDNER
Sports Editor
The Auburn Tigers, champions of the Southeastern Con­ference
with a sterling 17-4 SEC mark, will be shooting for
even larger titles when they journey up to the NCAA re­gional
playoffs May 29.
The sight for the double-elimination tournament is in t he

The Auburn Tigers: 1963 Southeastern Conference Champions
George Gardner
Due to lack of space this week, we are going to be sketchy: In
our opinion we couldn't do the SEC Champion Auburn Tigers justice
if we filled the whole sports,section with nothing but baseball.
Overheard after the game Saturday: Donnie Kessinger speak­ing
to Joe Overton: "Y'all just plain beat us today. You deserved to
win. Good luck in" Gastonia . . . go up there and tear them up." This
seemed to be the concensus of opinion of the Ole Miss Rebels, twice-beaten
by our NCAA-bound Tigers. Overton struck out Kessinger, the
all-Western Division shortstop, numerous times during the three game
series.
* * * *
The Rebels, accepting the defeats in the best tradition of South­ern
gentlemen, were nevertheless surprised. As the Tigers took the
field Friday, the Rebels yelled tauntingly at the seniors . . . "How
does it feel to be playing your last game?" As it turned out, the senior
Rebels were about to participate in their last two games.
* * * f / \
Richard Seaman, the senior outfielder who has been making
team predictions that come true all season, had another dream the
other night. Seems that he saw Auburn win in Gastonia and Uavel out
to Omaha, Nebraska, for the college world series. Who knows . . .
after all, he predicted they would finish 15-3 in the SEC (which they
did!).
Chatting with Joe Overton, who is sure to be AH-SEC for the
second straight year, we found him to be extremely modest about the
victories. "Write anything you want to about the rest of the team . . .
but not about me. I've already had more than my share of publicity."
Mailon Kent, who was so' happy about the whole situation that he
couldn't quit grinning, said that "It was a team victory. Everyone
on the team worked together to go this far . . . we really wanted to
win the SEC badly."
As far as I'm concerned, it was a team win. They were all
great: dependable Vic behind the plate (the most underated player
on the squad); lefty Dempsey at first; scrappy Otis Bibb at short­stop;
Geralds, Haire, and Bachus in the flats with Kent, Martin and
Barfield completing the tightest infield in the SEC, and Smiley Nichols
getting tougher every inning. Good luck in NCAA action!
Svetlay Is Star Catcher
For Winning Plainsmen
By JOHN PENICK '
The catcher for the Southeast­ern
Conference Champions in
baseball this year is Vic Svetlay.
Vic is a senior from Birmingham,
Ala. and his major is business
administration. He is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Victor H. Svetlay.
He is 22 years old and has held
down the catcher position for the
Auburn Tigers for the past two
years.
When Vic came to Auburn he
played on the freshman team un­der
the coaching of Jim Jeffery.
He had a good season and he was
lauded as a good prospect for the
future.
During his junior a n d senior
years, Vic could have been called
"Mr. Reliable." He caught almost
every game Auburn played. This
spring only four bases were stol­en
on Vic, while he threw 15 men
out. Vic's batting average this
year was .268 and he was listed
on the Eastern Division All-SEC
team.
One of Vic's most exciting ex­periences
occurred t h i s past
weekend. Vic said "Playing in the
SEC playoffs and winning the
title was both a thrill and an
honor." He stated that Auburn
could not have won the cham­pionship
without the able coach­ing
of Paul Nix, and the com­bined
effort and hustle of all the
boys on the team.
As to future plans Vic says, "I
would like to give professional
baseball a try." Vic is getting
married in the near future, upon
his graduation this quarter.
We would like to congratulate
Vic on his accomplishments in
baseball at Auburn, and wish him
the best of luck in the future.
Number 17 will surely be missed
by Coach Nix next spring.

Soccer Team Meets
Gators In Gainsville
By UWE ROTHE
ASC Publicist
The Auburn soccer team suf­fered
its first loss to a college
team this season as Georgia Tech
took a 3-0 victory over the Tigers.
The record now is an even 5-5
for Auburn, which lost the other
four games to service teams. The
Tigers take on the University of
Florida in Gainesville next Sat­urday
to close out their spring
season.
The loss last Saturday on the
home field was again due to inac­curate
shooting by Auburn. Geor­gia
Tech, composed largely of La­tin
Americans, worked well as a
team as they passed and shot with
amazing accuracy. Both teams had
continuous fast breaks going
which kept everyone on his toes.
The standouts for Auburn were
"Big Ben" Shabo, the clever cen­ter
forward, and the goalie, Gun-ther
Sturm, who, with his con­stant
perserverence stopped many
potential goals.
Florida will pose a potential
threat to the Tigers, but the team
will be out to get a convincing
victory for their coach who is
leaving AU after this season.
Coach Taube has been, and al­ways
will be, an inspiration to the
members of the Auburn Soccer
Club, as a person admired not on­ly
in Alabama but also in Geor­gia
for his never-ending devotion
to the promotion of the sport of
soccer.
There will be a meeting of the
ASC on Thursday in the Union at
7:15 p.m.

Coast Conference will be repre­sented
by Wake Forest, Auburn
will carry the colors for the SEC,
the Southern Conference will be
represented by the winner of the
West Virginia-Virginia Polytech­nic
Institute contest, and one en­try
at large, probably Florida
State, will round out the slate.
Winning the SEC title by pol­ishing
off Ole Miss, the Plains­man
had to overcome several
obstacles before they pack their
gear and head north. First, the
approval of the Athletic Depart­ment
was necessary. At a meet­ing
Monday afternoon permission
was granted. Pending the out­come
of t h e council of deans
meeting late yesterday, there
should be nothing to prevent the
spirited, come-from-behind ball
club from representing Auburn
in NCAA action for the first time
in several years. Due to the play­offs
conflicting with final exams,
the approval of the council is ne­cessary
in order for the athletes
to complete their exams early.
When contacted Monday after­noon
concerning their reactions
on being allowed to compete for
the national title, the team seem­ed
to be very enthusiastic about
the trip. In the words of Mailon
Kent, hard-slugging outfielder,
"We are tickled to death about
winning the SEC and going up
there. We intend to win some
more games this season."
When confronted with the pos­sibility
'of facing Florida State
again (FSU defeated the Tigers
four times in regular season
play), All-SEC pitching ace Joe
Overton said "I hope we do draw
them. Our batting has improved
a lot since we lost to them at the
beginning of the year, and we feel
sure that we can take them now."
Other t h a n the conference
losses, Florida State handed the
SEC champs their only other de­feats,
thus leaving the Tigers with
an overall mark of 17-8, this
jpring. Incidently, previous to the
championship games against Ole
Miss ,the Tigers had posted ex­actly
the same overall (15-7) as
last season when they finished
second in the division.

Freshman Baseball Squad Ends Season
Against Alabama Christian Saturday
By GEORGE STALLARD
Plainsman Sports Writer
With only a doubleheader re­maining
on their 11-game sche­dule,
the Tiger Frosh baseball
squad sports a respectable 6-5 re­cord.
The concluding two-game
series against Alabama Christian
will be played at Plainsman Park
May 18.
Auburn's freshmen have per­formed
well under student-coach
Fred Walker this season. Strong
pitching throughout the campaign
has been the key factor in their,
thus far, winning season. Possibly
the lone weak point would be in
the hitting department. The Baby
Tigers have averaged 5-7 hits per
contest.
Several excellent varsity pros­pects
will be battling for positions
on the veteran Tiger nine -next
spring. An excellent pitching staff
hopes to more than compensate
for the loss of ace hurler Joe
Overton.
Strong contenders for the var­sity
next year include pitchers
Duke Shackleford, Harvey Spie­gel,
Larry Hartley, and Larry
Wilson. Spider Sanders, the cen-terfielder,
and Frank Fryer, the
first sacker, also appear to be ex­cellent
candidates.
Here is a run-down on t h e
players a n d positions. At first
base is Frank Fryer from Brun-didge,
Ala. Johnny Lanier from
Jachin, Ala. covers the key-stone
bag. Handling t h e shortstop
chores is Ralph Wells from An­dalusia.
Ralph's brother Tommy
has been leading the University
of Alabama in hitting.
Ruling t h e h o t corner is
Johnny Orr from Tifton, Ga.
Battery-mate of t h e mounds-men
is Earl Mally from Jackson­ville,
Fla. Roaming the outfield
are Tut Joiner from Opelika,
Larry Matson from Birmingham,
and Spider Sanders from Mont­gomery.
Hurling for the Tiger Frosh are
Duke Shackleford from Atlanta.
Larry Hartley f r o m Satsuma,
Ala., Rick Frost from Montevallo,
Larry Wilson from Auburn, Har­vey
Spiegel from Ft. Myers, Fla.,
and Dan Smith from Dothan.

Cindermen To Perform In SEC Tourney
For Last Time Under Coach Hutsell
By GERALD RUTBERG
Assistant Sports Editor
Auburn's swift cindermen travel to Birmingham this Sat­urday
to compete for the Southeastern Conference Champion­ship,
with the added incentive that this meet will conclude
the 42 year tenure of Coach Wilbur Hutsell, Tiger track
mentor, who is retiring.
With LSU the heavy favorite,
Auburn is expected to battle Mis­sissippi
State and Alabama for
the runner-up spot. In statistics
released Monday, A u b u r n was
rated second best in the Confer­ence
on the basis of recorded
times and distances for the sea­son.
In the 100 yard dash, Gary Ray
has turned in a : 9.7 time which is
the fifth best recorded in the SEC
this season, Bill McCormick, also
of Auburn, has run a :9.8. The
220 yard dash finds Gary Gay in
the top position with a sizzling
:20.6 clocking, which ties the
Conference mark. However, new
records can only be recorder in
the SEC Championship meet.
Jerry Smith has been timed in
:21.7 for this, event. In the quar­ter
mile, Smith's time of :47.0 is
the second fastest in the Confer­ence
this year. Ken Winter has
turned in a :48.6 timing which is
good .for sixth best in the Dixie
Dozen. Although having run the
880 yard distance only once, Win­ter
sports the best time record­ed
in the Conference this season,
with a 1:53.5.
John Anderson' has turned in a
4:25 in the mile run, and this
clocking ranks as the seventh best
time in the Conference in that
event. Tigers Charles Patterson
and Jack Brewer have recorded
9:45.8 and 9:51.0 respectively, in
the two-mile test of endurance.
These times are third and fourth
best in the SEC.

Last weekend Auburn played
host to what has been termed the
most successful prep school track
meet ever held in Alabama.
In all, eight new AA records
were set while the class A men
bettered two marks and tied an­other.
In the first days activities, John
Robinson of Deshler High School
tossed the shot 50-7% feet to bet­ter
the old class A mark of 45-5 Vi.
In Friday's AA action John
Carroll's Phil Smith tied the 100
yard dash standard of 9.9. Neil
Iverson of Murphy of Mobile tied
the record for the 120 highs in a
time of 14.8.
Throughout the early races one
of the top finishers in each race
was a small shaggy white dog.
But he was disqualified on the
basis of too many legs and ejected
from the stadium.
For the finals Saturday the
conditions were perfect, and the
performances tremendous.
To lead off the day's action Sy-lacauga's
440 relay team blazed to
a record tying time of :44.7.
In the field events Bank's Ro­ger
Neiswender cleared the high
jump bar at 6-7Vi. and David
.Eckert of McGill vaulted to a
height of 14 feet. In the shot Ken
Rainey of Gadsden set a sur­prising
record of 54-4V2.
In the assault on the record
books the old 440 and :49.7 fell to
Joe Palmer of Shades Valley with
a new time of :49.3.
Neal Iverson of Murphy and
John Carroll's Phil Smith met in
the two hudles races and each
came out with a victory and a new
state record; Iverson set a new
record in the 120 highs with a
time of :14.2 while Smith got re­venge
with a :19.4 time in the 180
lows.
The 880 record fell to Richard
Hulsey of Tuscaloosa County in a
time of 1:56 flat.

bettered his one day old
shot record by putting the shot a

Two IM Ball Teams Undefeated
By CRAWFORD WELCH
Intramural Sports Editor
Alpha Gamma Rho and Sigma Nu are the only fraternity
Softball teams to finish the regular season with a perfect
record of five wins and no losses. Both teams have excellent
pitching and good hitting.
OTS is the only other team that will be in the play-off
for sure. OTS lost one game but
came out on top of their league.
The other league is tied be­tween
DU and PDT, each with
identical 4-1 records. The tie was
played off Monday with the win­ner
representing League Four in
the play-off.
The play-off begins Tuesday
afternoon at 4:15. AGR, SN, OTS,
and DU or PDT drew Monday to
decide the schedule for teams that
would play each other. Playoff
will be double elimination and
games will be played each Tues­day
and Thursday until three
teams have lost two games.
In last weeks action, AGR
squeezed by SPE, 4-3. H a r o l d
Watts was the winning pitcher
with 11 strikeouts to bring his
season's total to 58. (Last week's
Plainsman erred in stating that
Watts had 32 strikeouts in four
games. It should have been 47.)
Watts also led AGR hitting with
three hits. Dauphin got two hits.
SPE's top hitters were White and
Thornell with two hits each.
SN beat LCA 6-1, behind the
pitching of Dick Martin. Dicky
Mullins and Bucky Allen both had
two hits for SN. Ramsey and
Boles had two hits apiece for LCA.
SP handed OTS their only loss
of the season last week. SP's Ca­ter
pitched a 4-2, one hit, vic­tory.
Bedsole of OTS got the only
hit off Cater. Stacey led SP hit­ting
with two hits.
OTS defeated DTD 10-1, in
game held later in the week which
had been postponed earlier in the
season. Bedsole was the winning
pitcher plus collecting a single and
home run. Smith also had a single
and a four-bagger for OTS.
DU stayed in contention for the

title by defeating PKA 13-6. DU
received 16 walks to account for
most of their runs. Greene was
credited with the win.
PDT kept alive their chances
to make the play-off by defeat­ing
DSP 8-6. Johnson led PDT
hitting with two hits. Alford was
the winning pitcher. Williams had
a home run and a single far DSP.
Haynes was also a leading hitter
with three base raps.
ATO knocked PKT out of con­tention
for the league title by
beating them 10-8. Shepard slam­med
a homerun for ATO, and
Songer got two hits. Goodwin and
Neal both got a triple for PKT.
SAE beat DC 25-21. SAE's Friz­zle

hits each. DCs Morris slammed

relay peg.
Kent's second double, which
came in the eighth, was followed
by a two-bagger of Vic Svetlay's,
making the final score, 7-4, in fa­vor
of Auburn. Nichols did not
allow a hit over the final four
frames, and evened his season
ledger at 4-4.
Saturday found the Tigers in
top form, as Greenville, Missis­sippi
senior, Joe Overton, obliged
the Plainsmen with a sterling
mound performance, in his se­cond
opportunity against t he
challengers from his home state.
Big Joe and the Plainsmen
coasted to a 6-2 victory behind
some well-utilized hitting and a
curve ball which refused to quit.
Overton did not allow a hit un­til
the fifth inning, whiffed eight,
and walked only one man in reg­istering
his ninth triumph in 11
decisions.
Led by Jimmy Barfield and
Mailon Kent, the Tigers sent
starting Rebel hurler, sophomore
Bobby Boyd, to an early shower,
and gained a five run lead before
the Mississippians sent a man
around the bases.
Barfield singled in the third
with two out, and scored when
Kent slapped a bouncing single
to left following a walk to Jim
Bachus. Larry Dempsey then rap­ped
a . bouncing single over the
outstretched glove of the Rebel
third sacker, scoring Kent and
Bachus.
In the fifth, Barfield singled,
was forced at second by Bachus,
who then stole second, and tallied
when Kent smashed a triple to
right. Dempsey plated Kent with
a sacrifice fly to deep left field.
Tiring slightly under the stifl­ing
90 degree temperature, Over­ton
allowed a run in the seventh,
and gave up a first-pitch round-tripper
to sophomore Tommy
Keyes in the ninth. The talented
Rebel yearling rocketed Overton's
initial delivery high over the
fence in right centerfield for his
fourth hit of the series. Big Joe
then retired the side without fur­ther
incident to give Auburn the
championship for the third timo
since the inception of the SEC.
The crown also came in during
Coach Paul Nix's first season as
Tiger baseball coach.
By emerging victorious, t he
Tigers qualified to represent the
SEC in the NCAA Third District
Playoffs in Gastonia, S.C., later
in the month. Auburn's Athletic
Council was to decide on the trip
when it met Monday. It was not­ed
that the tournament might in­terfere
with spring quarter ex­aminations,
and this fact was ex­pected
to have some bearing on
the Council's decision.

Hard-Running Sprinter Gary Ray
Football Player Converted To Track
By JOHN PENICK
Plainsman Sports Writer
One of the big men on Auburn's
track team is Gary Ray. Gary
runs the 100 yard dash, the 220,
the quarter mile relay and the
mile relay. Here at Auburn Gary
holds the school record for the
220 and is tied for the record on
the 100 yard dash.
This weekend is a big one for
Ray. He will compete in the SEC
championship in Birmingham. In
Gary's opinion, "The team to beat
is LSU and if we can get ahead
of them we will be the 1963 SEC
champs in track."
Gary originally came to Au­burn
on a football scholarship.
But, because he was injury-prone,
he turned his interest to track.
He came to Auburn from North
Whitfield High School in Dalton,
Ga. In high school Gary was ac­tive
as a football player and a
track man. He holds the record
in Georgia for the 100 yard dash.
Gary attributes much of his
success to his coach. He had this
to say about Coach Hutsell: "He
is one of the greatest men I have
