FROM
THE
h
By CHARLES McCAY
In our extended stay on the Au­burn
campus, we have concluded
that most persons (students in
particular) are talkers rather than
actors (not to be confused with
the Auburn Players). Since spring
elections, we have been flooded
with pleas from the incoming sen­ators
and student government of­ficials.
Everybody is begging for
cooperation. They won't get it, un­less
things are far better than
in past years.
,- Independents scream to the top
of their voices because they are
being persecuted. They can't get
anywhere in student government
bcause it is all wrapped up by the
Greeks. Well, that's pretty ridi­culous.
Johnny Jeffers has proved
this year that an independent who
is capable and sincere about serv­ing
the students of Auburn can
accomplish this purpose. (You
will find his name mentioned sev­eral
times in today's paper for
outstanding achievements.)
This should be incentive to all
independents to cease reclining
upon their posteriors and shouting
suppression, suppression! There
are places in next year's Student
Government Association for you.
Why don't you try to achieve one
of them?
While browsing through the my­riad
of newspapers that are sent
to us in exchange for one of these
little gems each week, we encoun­tered
a story of world wide im­portance.
We present it for your
entertainment and to reassure you
that everything is A-OK on the
foreign fronts.
With pushbutton tension like­ly
to set off nuclear war any­where
in the world at any time,
the United States almost went to
war with Pakistan last week—
over an ambassador's cat.
The cat itself was not offensive,
but its name apparently was.
Religious and political leaders
were backed up by thousands of
enraged Pakistani because of one
of the more critical diplomatic
blunders of this age—the cat of
an American ambassador was
nicknamed Ahmed, one of the
holy names for the phophet Mo­hammed.
,
The cat belonged to the children
I of retiring ambassador to India, J.

Jeffers Named Chairman
Of SUSGA At Conference
By HARRY WILKINSON
Baton Rouge, La.—John Jeffers, a junior pre-medical stu­dent
at Auburn University, has been elected chairman of the
Southern Universities Student Government Association
(SUSGA) for the academic years 1963-64. The election was
held at the 10th annual conference of SUSGA on the campus
of Louisiana State University.
The Auburn student received
43 out of 46 votes cast by mem­ber
schools of the conference.
Jeffer's opponent was Jerry
Bledsoe of Troy State College at
Troy, Ala. Jerry Cox, president
of the student body at Georgia
Tech, m a d e the nominating
speech for Jeffers.
Jeffers has served SUSGA dur­ing
the current year as the" vice
chairman representing the State
of Alabama. He is the new head
cheerleader at Auburn University
and has compiled a 2.67 grade
point average. John is a recent
initiate of Omicron Delta Kappa
men's leadership fraternity.
SUSGA's tenth annual confer­ence
drew delegates from Ala­bama,
Florida, Georgia, Ken-t
u c k y , Louisiana, Mississippi,
South Carolina, and Tennessee.
The estimated number of dele­gates
in attendance exceeded the
250 mark. Auburn University sent
14 delegates and two faculty
consultants to the conference.
Discussion Topics
Panel discussions were held on
several variegated facets of stu­dent
government. Administra­tion
relations, student legisla­tures,
entertainment, role of stu­dent
government, organizations
and women's student government
were some of the key topics dis­cussed.
Dean Katharine Cater, dean of
women at Auburn, told a panel
on the role of student govern­ment
that student government
was a privilege granted to the
student body and not an inherent
right. T-he Auburn dean explain­ed
that student government is
granted existence to facilitate the
harmonious functioning of the in­stitution.
Lobbying by student govern­ments
in state affairs was a key
project explained by the Florida
delegation. A student spokesman
from Florida State University
outlined a program by which sev-

eral Florida institutions used
student government to present
educational needs and problems
before state leaders.
A program is utilized whereby
student leaders are given num­erous
opportunities to familiarize
themselves with the educational
needs of their particular institu­tion.
These students contact var­ious
state leaders (usually from
their home areas) and encourage
them to support programs for the
advancement and development of
higher education. The program
was described as being "most ef­fective."
Jim Kilpatrick, panelist and
vice president of the student body
at Auburn, encouraged student
legislatures to be a policy mak­ing,
body and not a workhorse.
Kilpatrick stated that it was not
the job of student legislatures to
perform such tasks as decorating
the ^ballroom for a dance. He
urged student legislatures to seek
out the problems and needs of
t h e student body, investigate
them, and present positive pro­grams
regarding these items. Post
evaluation of policies and projects
undertaken was advocated for all
phases of student government.
Programs for legislature repre­sentation
were a major issue
brought before the panel on stu­dent
legislatures. Dean James E.
Foy, dean of student affairs at
Auburn, presented, three specific
policies utilized in most univer­sities.
These programs constituted
representation on a class basis, on
a school basis, and on a place of

Blood Drive Passes
Goal Of 500 Pints
By ANN RISHER
The 1963 Blood Drive sur­passed
its goal of 500 pints of
blood by 63 pints, according to
Bill Mayrose, Superintendent of
Campus Drives.
Sigma Pi fraternity, Zeta Tau
Alpha sorority, and Division S-2
of Magnolia Dormitories placed
first among groups contributing
blood.
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity,
Delta Delta Delta sorority, and
Division L ranked second. Ratings
were determined on a percentage
basis. The first and second high­est
contributors in each category
received trophies.
Mayrose termed it "the best
drive in five years." Each sorority
and every fraternity except one
contributed. Sigma Pi fraternity
had 85 per cent participation
among brothers and pledges;
Lambda Chi Alpha, 81 per cent;
Zeta Tau Alpha, 47 per cent; Del­ta
Delta Delta, 42 per cent. Di­vision
S-2 of Magnolia Dormitor­ies
had 53 per cent participation,
and Division L, 50 per cent.
Hooky Huffman and Louise
Smith served as vice-chairmen of
the drive. Mr. William Poore, Di­rector
of Personnel on campus,
was faculty adviser to the drive.
Members of Alpha Phi Omega,
Circle K, Phi Delta Theta frater­nity,
and lab technology students
assisted at the two bloodmobiles.
Some of the blood contributed
will remain in Lee County for im­mediate
use.
Each blood donor is entitled to
free blood for himself and his
family up to eight months.
Sigma Chi 'Derby Day'
To Be Held Saturday
The annual Sigma Chi Derby
will be held at 2:00 on Saturday,
May 4, on the lawn of the Social
Center.
Each sorority will enter a team
to compete in such events as
milking cows, throwing eggs, and
searching for a gold key in a tub
of flour. The team with the ma­jority
of points at the end of the
day will receive a trophy.
The new Sweetheart of Sigma
Chi will be chosen from the can­didates
present at the Derby. In

Max Killingsworth Receives Award
By ANN PINSON
An Auburn graduate stu­dent,
Max Killingsworth,
has won second place in the
National Psi-Chi Research
Award Contest.
The Psi-Chi contest is a
national contest open to all
graduate students who are
also members of Psi-Chi.
Psi-Chi is a national hono­rary
for psychology majors.
The honorary requires that
its members have a 2.00
average in psychology and a
1.75 overall average.
Killingsworth's paper
which was also his master's
thesis was entitled "An In­vestigation
of Estes Postu­late
of Fluctuation in Stimu­lus
Fields." This paper was
a study designed to test the
consistency of independent
estimates of response pro­babilities
in one experimen­tal
situation and to deter­mine
whether or not valid
response tendencies could be
made from one experimen­tal
situation to another.
In addition to winning thfe
Psi-Chi Award, Killings-worth
has been accepted in
the graduate program at
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. At MIT Kil­lingsworth
will be working
on his Doctorate in experi­mental
nnd mathematical
psychology. This relatively
new field of psychology
deals with the derivation of
mathematical models which
will predict and explain be­havior.
Killingsworth plans
to begin his studies at MIT
next fall.
Killingsworth spent his
first two years of college at
Troy State Teachers College.
He received his Bachelor of
Science degree in mathema­tics
from Huntingdon Col­lege,
and at Auburn he has
been doing his graduate
work in experimental psy­chology.
Killingsworth, the reci­pient
of many outstanding
honors during his college
career, has been Freshman
Senator, president of his
Sophomore class, member of
the Judicial Body, member
of Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Mu
Epsilon and Psi Chi.
This is the second year
that an Auburn student has
won honors in the National
Psi-Chi Award Contest. Last
year Roy Pickens' paper
won first place, and Ray-mon
Pendleton won the Na­tional
Psi-Chi Service A-ward.'
The Service award is
given to a member of Psi-
Chi who has contributed in
an exceptional way to fur­ther
local and national goals
and aims of Psi-Chi.

roses and a silver bowl. Her court:
Temmie Crunk, escorted by Otis
Bibb, Nancy McMurtrie, escorted
by Ronnie Baines, and Marilyn

The contestants for Miss "A"
Day were selected by the sorori­ties
and fraternities on campus,
but the actual selection of the
winner is made by the "A" Club.
Other awards presented at the
half-time were the Outstanding
Fraternity Award, the Cliff Hare

Books To Library
Building up the book collection
for the new Auburn University
Library has become a project of a
second fraternity on the campus
with impetus provided by a do­nation
from a former member.
E. Meade Wilson of Mulberry,
Fla., recently forwarded to the
Sigma Nu.fraternity at Auburn
two boxes containing significant
volumes relating to the order of
battle of U. S. land forces in
World War I and other WWI ope­rations.
Wilson, who was the first cadet
to leave Auburn, March 23, 1917,
and the first cadet from Auburn
to land in France the following
June, requested the collection be
presented to the Auburn Library
in the name of the Sigma Nu Fra­ternity.
Earlier the Auburn chapter of
Delta Sigma Phi • Fraternity
launched a drive among its alum­ni
for technical materials and old
books by standard authors in the
fields of literature and history.
JULIA MURPHY IS FIRST RECIPIENT
OF MARION WALKER SPIDLE AWARD
First recipient of the Marion
Walker Spidle Award to continue
as an annual presentation during
Greek Week to the sorority mem­ber
maintaining the highest aca­demic
record at Auburn Univer­sity
is Julia Harris Murphy of
Tallassee.
Mrs. Murphy, now a graduate
student at Auburn, is a member of
Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority and
a recent graduate in the School of
Education. She is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Harris.
The trophy is to be retained
during the next year by the so­rority
and after 20 years will be
retired to the sorority receiving
the honor for the most years. Mrs.
Murphy received a bracelet de­signating
the honor during Greek
Week convocation for sorority
members and pledge classes ear­lier
this week. Presentation was
made by Mrs. Byron K. Walker,
alumni advisor to Panhellenic,
which is the representative organ­ization
for all sororities at Au­burn.
Convocation speaker Miss Oleda
Schrottky, a pioneer leader in Girl
Scout work and formerly a mem­ber
of the executive board of di­rectors,
delivered the Greek Week
address at Auburn.
While women today face a
changing world, they should nev­er
fear to' stand up for ideals,
Miss Schrottky told the sorority
groups. Honesty, chastity, relia­bility,
patriotism and thoughtful-ness
will never be old-fashioned
she pointed out.
"Women today have a problem
fitting together their many jobs,
trying to stay happy and yet re­tain
the approval of society," Miss
Schrottky said.
Tracing the trend of women
who are today taking their places
alongside men in industry, Miss
Schrottky cautioned that equality
has brought many dangers as
women view their equality as a
sort of license.

The grant was awarded to Dr.
McMillan, a noted author and his­torian,
to complete a biographical
study of Daniel Pratt (1799-1873),
pioneer ante-bellum Southern in­dustrialist.

College girls seem to know what they want. We get a lot of
ideas about ring styling from American campuses. If there is
such a thing as a consensus, it would sound like this: conserva­tive
styling, with a difference.
That's what we've designed into Tropic Star...the newest of
the beautiful Artcarved diamond engagement rings. Like all
Artcarved rings, it's styled for lasting beauty...guaranteed in
writing for permanent value. Is Artcarved's beautiful new

Mrs. R. B. Draughon Elected Winner
Of Huntingdon Achievement Award
Mrs. Caroline Marshall Draughon, wife of Dr. Ralph B.
Draughon, president of Auburn, has been elected winner of
t h e 1963 Achievement Award of the Huntingdon College
Alumni Association. The award will be presented at the
Huntingdon May Day Homecoming celebration on May 4.
All former Huntingdon students
are eligible to nominate for this
award. Final selection is made by
the Executive Board of the Alum­ni
Association.
In naming Mrs. Draughon as
recipient of its highest honor, the
board noted that her influence on
the thousands of young men and
women who have passed through
Auburn University since she has
been its president's wife has not
merely been local but world wide.

it stated, Mrs. Draughon's
Christian training and fine exam­ple
have influenced their lives for
better living and greater service.
Mrs. Draughon is a native of
Orrville and daughter of Mrs.
Mary B. Marshall of Orrville and
Selma. She was graduated from
Huntingdon in 1931 with a major
in home economics and as vice
president of her class.
At Auburn she founded t he
University Campus C l u b and
served on its board for 14 years.
She acts as hostess to its members
and guests each year and supports
its policy of helping faculty wives
and other campus women become
better acquainted through cultu­ral
and social programs.
Mrs. Draughon also is active in
the Auburn Dames Club for stu­dent
wives. She has served on the
board for the past 14 years and
opens her home for their social
activities, aiding them in plan­ning
programs designed to help
improve their status in other
communities following gradua­tion.

R&D Career Development
The David Taylor Model Basin — a complex of four labora­tories
occupying 186 acres in a desirable suburb of Washing­ton,
D. C. — is an advanced facility for fundamental and
applied research into SUBMARINE, SURFACE SHIP, AIR­CRAFT
and MISSILE design concepts; applied mathematics
and operations research; and the design and development
of related instrumentation. Each of these laboratories —
HYDROMECHANICS, AERODYNAMICS, STRUC­TURAL
MECHANICS and APPLIED MATHEMATICS -
is supported by some of the most advanced (and oftentimes
only) facilities of their kind. There are large Towing Basins
— one more than half-a-mile long for prolonged towing,
another for testing hydrofoil and hydroskimmers at high
speeds, and still another for generating violent environmental
conditions . . . high-speed computer systems . . . means for
conducting R & D on submarine structures at great depths
. . . a wide range of vibration generators for ship structures
. . . several wind tunnels ranging from subsonic to hyper­sonic
velocities . . . and especially-equipped sea-going labora­tories
for full scale study in the field of weapons effects,
vibrations, acoustics, flow, etc.
Thus, The Model Basin offers outstanding career de­velopment
opportunities in each of these four laboratory
areas. Planned professional development programs provide
financial assistance and every encouragement to obtain ad­vanced
degrees. Several local collets and universities are
close by, and participate in these programs . . . with many
classes conducted right at The Model Basin.
All career positions include the many real benefits of

EUGENE PATTERSON, editor of the Atlanta Constitution,
is welcomed to Auburn by President Draughon and Dean of
Women, Katharine Cater. Patterson appeared in Auburn last week
as featured speaker at the 1963 Greek Week banquet.
Patterson Urges New Generation
To Solve Problems And 'Stay South'
"The greatest, most touching news story I have ever
covered . . .'"
These were the words used by Eugene Patterson, editor
of the Atlanta Constitution, in describing to his Auburn aud­ience
the original U.S. manned space flight of Alan Shepherd.
Patterson appeared in
Auburn ^ field Q£ r e s e a r c h ) d e s i g n a nd
development.
"This is where we must come
in," he said. But right now Cali­fornia
is the big benefactor.
Of $6 billion spent in the past
fiscal year on space research, de­sign
and development programs,
only $7 million was spent in Ala­bama,
he continued. Florida got
$150 million, Massachusetts, $350
million, but California got $2.4
billion. Patterson said that Cali­fornia
Tech and other universities
in the California State University
system were ready with research
programs and men to carry new
research projects "when the time
came."
Georgia is beginning to g et
ready, too, he said.
"I'm optimistic about our fu­ture.
When we made the basic
policy decision to keep our schools
open and comply with desegrega­tion
orders, we were on the way,"
he continued. "Now we must push
forward in education."
He said he believes the entire
South will settle its racial prob­lems
"honorably and in good faith
long before the rest of the na­tion."
"Up North they're just begin­ning
to understand the difficul­ties
this problem presents," said
Patterson. "We've iived. with it
for decades. This is to our ad­vantage.
In my state, we're find­ing
it easier to make the change
than we had thought.'?
"Continuing, he said, "I am
amazed at the result—even in the
Georgia Black Belt where I was
born and grew up. I sense not
tension or unhappiness, but an
acute sense of relief."
Of this "new generation of
Southerners," he s a i d "The
Southerner does not change eas­ily,
but when he does change, he
is solid granite. Put this force on
the side of right and we will go
places."
"The past is changing into an
exciting future for us down
South," he said. "Who'd want to
live anyplace else?"
Spring Parties Flourish
last week as a part of annual
Greek Week activities.
The audience, composed of
Auburn students, faculty, and
townspeople, listened intently as
Patterson vividly outlined the
challenges to the South of the
"new age."
The f a m o u s newspaperman
challenged the "new generation
of Southernners" to "abandon the
buggy, face the racial issue and
stay in the South."
Illustrating h i s theme with
dramatic eye-witness reports on
recent accomplishments in space
science and technology, Patterson
said the South is no longer "rid­ing
the tobacco sled and the
buggy" he rode as a boy. But the
old problems—principally racial
—remain, he reminded, and urg­ed
that these must be solved if
the South is to be a part of the
"exciting new age."
"We have come to the time
when forced segregation cannot
stay on the law books. Let's get
this thing out of the way and get
on with education," he challen­ged.
The Atlanta editor said that in
Georgia "turning the corner" on
the race issue was the most im­portant
step. He attributed "an
amazing change in quality of gov­ernment"
and an "acute sense of
relief all around" to what he de­scribed
as his state's "sensible
handling of the desegregation
matter."
"After wreckage of many time-honored
traditions, including mal­apportionment
of the Legislature
and the self-strangling county
unit system, we've looked around
and said, "We must now build',"
Patterson continued.
He said the vision of what the
aero-space industry can do for
the South is a challenge to young
southerners to stay in the region.
"We can make the changes
necessary to take advantage of
the opportunities which are here,"
he said. "First, we must educate.
That is the key—education. We
must build laboratories and train
at the college level. We've got to
upgrade our schools at every lev­el.
In the meantime, if we have to
go outside the South to bring in
trained men, let's go get them."
Patterson said that in 1961
more than 56 per cent of the
money spent for missiles was in

FIN ALLY-HONORS DAY
"It is my personal hope that this may be
made into a dignified and highly important
annual event." This is the evaluation by
President Draughon concerning Auburn's
first Honors Day.
This alone should be indicative of the
importance of this program. It should be
indicative of the necessity for cooperative
attendance of the student body at large.
Auburn is one of very few universities in
the South that does not have an estab­lished
program to honor students for scho­lastic
endeavor. This undertaking should be
held in high regard by the University as a
whole.
The idea of Honors Day stemmed from
our not having ample time to sufficiently
recognize each outstanding student at reg­ular
commencement exercises.
The idea has definite merits, but the
success or failure of the program will not
be dependent upon meritorious ideas. Rath­er,
the success will be based on attendance
by you—the average student. Success
should be an automatic accompanist to this
type of program.
Those attending will be afforded the op­portunity
to hear one of education's most
dynamic individuals—Dr. Robert B. Meutz,
Dean of Academic Affairs at the University
of Florida. This will be in keeping with
Dr. Draughon's belief that the ceremony
should be comparable to a graduation ex­ercise.
The President believes in this pro­gram
to the extent that an academic pro­cession
will be held to commence the cere­monies.
We owe it to those receiving awards to
be present at this convocation. The Plains­man
is wholeheartedly in support of Hon­ors
Day and we most definitely urge at­tendance
of all students and faculty.
DEATH IN DELAY
Alabama needs more money for educa­tion.
Auburn University needs additional
funds for operation and maintenance.
The preceding sentences are no longer
mere statements of fact. They are the pleas
and cries of every person in Alabama who
is even remotely interested in the academic
future of our state.
These persons recently elected a gover­nor
and a legislature in hopes that some
action might be taken to correct a deplor­able
situation in Alabama.
We believe it was the full intention of
Governor Wallace and his legislative lead­ers
to present a workable bill providing for
educational funds. We cannot agree with
the clause which calls for more junior col­leges
and an expanded trade school pro­gram
because the existing facilities are
sorely underbudgeted. However, we do feel
that "anything is better than nothing" and
a 103 hour filibuster certainly will not get
the job done.
The governor has made it quite clear
that the beer tax for junior colleges and
trade schools was one of the major por­tions
of his overall educational program.
As much as we cherish the privilege of free
speech, we think it ridiculous for 11 sena­tors
to attempt any such talkathon against
it.
This special session, called for the a-vowed
purpose for enacting educational
measures, has already cost the Alabama
taxpayers over $200,000. A week of use­less
debating certainly did nothing to cur­tail
these costs.
We are inclined to agree with Presi­dent
Frank Rose of the University of Ala­bama,
who has said—on more than one
occasion—that increased finances for Ala­bama's
schools are essential and that a tax
—any tax—should be imposed to insure
the realization of the necessary funds.
We believe the state senate might well
take time out from its filibustering to re­evaluate
its purpose in this session and
then proceed toward a more substantial
educational program for Alabama — Au­burn
included.
YOUR $2,600,000.00
Like all good things on the Auburn cam­pus,
the new library is open to mis-use by
those who do not appreciate what it offers.
This building, without books, cost the state
of Alabama 2.6 million dollars. That's a
lot of taxes in anybody's book.
Rules and regulations are of the great­est
necessity in a building which is built
primarily to serve the masses. This, of
course, means that when two people stop
between floors in the elevator for that thir­ty-
second good night kiss, they deprive
those wishing to use the elevator for its
original (not to say most enjoyable) pur­pose.
High on the list of the most common
mis-uses are the following:
1, Writing on desks, and putting feet
on study tables.
2. Opening curtains (this is against lib­rary
rules since the building is already
amply lighted.)
3. Playing with elevators . . . such as
pushing emergency stop, riding up and
down, tying up service.
4. Noise (such as slamming books) and
unnecessary talking.
5. Taking reference books off the pro­per
floor, requiring that they be hunted.
6. Cutting pictures and articles out of
magazines and books.
7. Deliberately hiding books in the wrong
place.
8. Checking out books later than 15 min­utes
before closing time.
All of these violations of regulations ap­pear
to be childish and petty . . . and they
are. But they still are occurring every day
in our campus's newest and most servic-able
building. Do your part to eliminate
these trouble spots.—Williams.
MINORITY GROUPS
(Reprinted from the Auburndale (Fla.) Star)
No so many years ago a motion picturt
of a beloved Dickens novel was all but boy­cotted
because the villain had certain racial
characteristics repugnant to a highly arti­culate
minority group.
And how long has it been since you've
heard "Old Black Joe" or "Old Folks at
Home" on the airwaves?
And it hasn't been many months since a
popular network program was forced to
change the names of its gangsters to com­mon
everyday names like "Smith" and
"Jones" to avoid offendinig devotees of the
"Italian" hour.
Lest minority groups be offended one no
longer hears racial jokes on TV or radio,
unless such jokes are told by a member of
this group or that, who pokes sly but inno­cent
fun at the foibles of his own people.
The time has come for Americans to be
just as thin-skinned. If minority groups,
who insist upon resisting the blending in­fluence

Letters To The Editor . . .
Blood Drive Chairman Lauds Students;
Student Contradicts Alexander Letter
Editor, The Plainsman,
On behalf of the Lee County
Chapter of .the American Red
Cross I would like to express our
appreciation for the fine response
of the Auburn students, faculty,
and staff during our recent Blood
Drive. As you know, a total of
563 pints of blood was received.
This enabled Lee County to meet
its assigned quota for the first
time since 1956.
The success of a program of
this type is dependent upon the
efforts of many individuals. Spe­cial
thanks, go to Bill Mayrose,
Student Drive Chairman, for his
• work in organizing and directing
this drive. We are also grateful
for those who assisted with the
Blood Drive, especially members
of the Alpha Phi Omega, Circle
K, and the Laboratory Techno­logists.
We hope we can continue to
have the fine support of the Au­burn
students and will do every­thing
we can to eliminate the de­lay
that some of the donors en­countered
during the recent drive.
Sincerely yours,
W. D. Poore, Chairman
Auburn Blood Program

Alenander Letter
Editor, The Plainsman,
Concerning the letter from Suz­anne
Alexander to the editor of
The Plainsman entitled "Student
Protests Meal Ticket Loss" my
first thought when I read Suz­anne
Alexander's letter was "how
immature." T h e administration
was certainly not deliberately hu­miliating,
insulting, or upsetting
anyone by enforcing the rule
about using your own meal tic­ket.
Since the Auburn students and
faculty had spent a great deal of
time and money on the Village
Fair, it seems to me that the high
school guests should expect to
pay for their own meals while
visiting on the campus. Certain­ly,
they would not expect to tie
.given free meals provided by the
University.
Using simple arithmetic, it is
easily seen that if we had to pay
regular prices for each meal, this
ailone would account for the en­tire
amount we are now paying
for both meals and rooms. We are
not paying the full price for our
meals, therefore we should ex­pect
to use our own meal tickets.
The dining hall staff is com­posed
of Auburn students who
are human beings. This is my
eighth quarter on the Auburn
campus, and I have known many
staff members personally. In my
opinion, they are a group of the
nicest, most congenial people in
the world. They are expected to
do their jobs to the best of their
abilities, and the cashier who
confiscated the meal tickets was
simply doing his job.
Perhaps Miss Alexander should
The Tender Trap???
Average Auburn Female Speaks Out
On Matrimonial Status Among Coeds
By Diane Snoddy
The college coed has been the
subject of a series of trite puns
and jokes for many years. Some
of these anecdotes are concerned
with the ratio of men to women,
while others categorize girls ac­cording
to class and progress to­ward
matrimony. For example,
the freshman woman is allegedly
swamped with dates and, there­fore,
doesn't want to "get ser­ious,"
but after the sophomore
slump, comes the junior's pin and
the senior's diamond. In other
words, "give a college girl one
year of play, one year of bore­dom,
then she's out for a man."
This may be true, but it is cer­tainly
not the entire truth.
In the first place, some women
do come to college in order to
receive a degree in some subject
other than matrimony. Proof of
this is all around us in this mod­ern
world; there are more career
women in the United States today
than ever before. The reason for
this may be that some men, in
spite of ratios and rings, have
managed to escape the "tender
trap," or that some women just
don't get the nod no matter how
many advantages they offer. But
what is so impossible about be­ing
an independent female or an
old maid by choice rather than
by chance? Why can't men real­ize
that they are not totally ir­resistible?
Some women just don't
want to get tied down.
On the other hand, consider
those insecure little feminine
creatures who refuse to take one
step alone. To some stomachs, this
sweet young thing might present
a sickening picture, but to the
muscular, masculine, mountain-of-
manhood, she is an ego-build­er.
Yes, it is true. Men set as
many traps as women. In trite
words, hackneyed expressions,
and so forth—the situation is ex­pressed
ideally—"it takes two to
tango," and "love makes the
world go round." Biologists -and
marriage counselors are in com­plete
agreement with these pri­mitive
theories. No marriage is
complete without a man, so why
blame it on the woman?
My point is that the college
population is quite unjust in its
classification of every female as
an undergraduate candidate for
the MRS degree. It just isn't so.
There is no way to catch a man
who doesn't want to be caught. A
man who cries for mercy deser­ves
none; so, women of Auburn,
don't be merciful, tie down your
fellow for life and complain of
being trapped before he does. He
is guilty, too.
But if the idea of being trap­ped
doesn't appeal to you, don't
worry about being abnormal. Be
proud of your freedom and in­dependence,
hectic as it may be.
Remember that your life is your
own, to do with as you please.
And if you ever feel that you
have missed something—just set
^ trap, somebody will catch you.
read the back of her meal ticket
carefully. There, in simple Eng­lish
we are told that no one is to
use this meal ticket except its
owner. This is the rule and we
are expected to abide by it. The
penalty for breaking the rule is
also there. Any one who breaks
the rule is running the risk of a
two dollar fine and possible judi­ciary
action just as any one who
parks his car in the wrong zone
is running the risk of getting a
parking ticket.
This SILLY (?) rule was en­forced
strongly during the Vil­lage
Fair weekend because it was
so obvious to students and staff
alike that many of the girls using
meal tickets were not students.
The dining hall staff was not
trying to give our guests a bad
impression of Auburn. The guest
should expect to follow the same
rules as a student while they are
visiting a student.
There was no lack of courtesy
on the part of the dining hall
staff. It was instead on the part
of the students involved for de­liberately
encouraging and aiding
possible prospective Auburn stu­dents
to break one of the rules
of the institution. This certainly
showed a lack of respect for Au­burn
more than any action taken
by a staff member who was
merely doing his job.
Any one who breaks a rule—
school, dorm, or other—should be
prepared to pay the consequences
if they are caught. This is simply
accepting the responsibility of be­ing
an adult.

Junior Senators
Enlist Support
Editor, The Plainsman,
Admittedly, the position of
Junior Senator is a farce; it is a
figurehead position which bears
no real significance, which in­cites
no stirring activity and
which evokes no concrete achie­vement—
without aid.
In a progressive university such
as ours, change is inevitable. In
many instances this change is in­itiated
and directed by the Stu­dent
Senate. Therefore, laws must
be passed; plans must be made;
something must be accomplished
:—but for these accomplishments
to be worthwhile, the student
senators must be aware of the
needs of their classmates.
We, as Junior Senators, feel
that it is our duty to represent
the members of our class but we
feel that it is the duty of Junior
students to give us the awareness
necessary for just representation.
We urge you to take notice"of our
activity and to make some con­structive
noise about it, pro or
con.

SUSGA Conference Furnishes Thoughts
For Improvement Of Student Government
By Bert Hitchcock
Student Body President
The 10th annual conference of
the Southern Universities Stu­dent
Government Association on
the campus of Louisiana State
University last week provided a
rich experience for attending del­egates.
F i f ty
Southern c o l ­leges
and uni­versities
were
represented at
what is called l.DSPSI; S55**s '%•*>
' t h e greatest
meeting of its
kind ever held
in the South."
The real val-u
e of s u ch
m e e t i n g s or
conferences is often questioned.
The main purpose is, of course,
the exchange and discussion of
ideas, of the philosophy of stu­dent
government, of the common
problems and possible solutions.
One is able to see his own stu­dent
government in perspective
and to gain many new insights
which he had failed to get within
the narrow limits of his own in­stitution.
Valuable friendships
are made which enable continued
contact throughout the year to
discuss matters of common in­terest.
There's no substitute for
this personal relationship in the
public relations work between
two rival institutions. In addi­tion,
the time at the conference
and the extended traveling time
there and back give Auburn stu­dents
an excellent opportunity to
get to know each other, an achie­vement
which is unquestionably
of great benefit to those who
must work so closely together in
the coming year. There is a
wealth of experience which if
utilized by student leaders will
most certainly result in direct
benefits to the student body.
Auburn delegates to SUSGA
always return from the confer­ence
with a special pride. There
are many things here that we fail
to fully appreciate until we can
see them in comparison with
other schools. In this" context,
however, we are not so blind as
to fail to see many of our short­comings.
The great needs forjim^yj,
provement are accentuated even
more.
Each system of student gov­ernment
is, quite naturally, large­ly
dictated by the nature and
make-up of the particular school
where it must be in operation.
Many small schools and quite a
few of the large universities have
their student governments organ­ized
on the "student council"
plan. Many others, such as Au­burn,
have the three branch forms
of. government for their student
bodies.
Always very much apparent at
these conferences is the weakness
of the judicial branch at Auburn.
The Jurisprudence Committee,
whose only function is interpre­tation
of the Student Body Con­stitution
and Study Body Laws,
was the only part of the judicial
branch until this year when the
Traffic Appeals Committee was
set up. With serious and respon­sible
student leadership, there is
much r o o m for advancement
within this realm.
The legislative branch, at Au­burn
the Student Senate, needs
to be carefully scrutinized. Ap­portionment
is always a major
problem; at SUSGA are repre­sented
such systems as the class
basis, schools or colleges, geo­graphical
or living areas, or a
combination of any of these sys­tems.
In many schools the legis­lature
has become too big to be
a meaningful or efficient body;
our problem at Auburn is the
exact opposite. One thing above
all else, however, becomes evi­dent
in the discussion of student
legislative systems. One realizes
that the major need at Auburn
above and beyond all else is work,
W-O-R-K, work on the part of
Student Senators. Special pro­posals
and programs need to be
thought out and worked out; they
should be presented on the floor
of the Senate in a written and
concrete form. In short, legislative
BILLS are what we need. A Sen­ator
needs to investigate all the
many aspects of a particular idea
that he has; he needs to think the
matter out, to enlist the aid of
other Senators for their ideas and
suggestions, and to give to the
Senate at least a semi-finished,
written proposal which can be
acted upon as a bill. Discussion
and study by the entire Senate
can then follow, for here in a
bill are presented concrete de­tails
and a definite framework.
Such procedure would eliminate
the aimlessness and "wandering,"
the useless discussions about un­clear
matters, and perhaps and
hopefully the laissez faire and
apathetic attitude of the Student
Senate and Student Senators.
More valuable than anything
else at this SUSGA conference
rwas the prevailing attitude and
development of the philosophy
that student government should
serve, the student body, not vice
versa as is the case on many col­lege
campuses. So many schools
point out that the raison d'etre
for their student government is
the beneficial experience for in­dividual
officials; any benefits or
good for other students is only a
by-product. Right here is stu­dent
government's basic problem.
Only when it is realized that ser­vice
to others must be primary
can student government and in­stitutions
of higher education ever
hope to meet the great challenge
of the future.
A Challenge . . .
Greek-Independent Problem Threatens;
Action Is Needed By All Concerned
Sv Don Phillips
Another year has come and
gone, another Greek Week has
come and gone, and yet at least
one very obvious, obnoxiously
persistent problem remains —
Greek-Independent relations.
This year, for the first time in
many years, no Greek Week ac­tivity
was centered around this
problem, the excuse being that
such efforts in the past had been
unsuccessful.
It is not my purpose here to
reprimand the Greek Week com­mittee
for this situation, although
I do believe they are guilty of a
lack of foresight.
No, the Greek-Independent
problem is much too deeply rooted
to be solved by a superficial show
during one week of the year. It is
a very delicate situation which
has been allowed to grow un­checked
for years, nourished by a
long series of specific incidents in­volving
a loud mouthed minority
of holier-than-thou Greeks and
Greek hating Independents.
In comparison to some other
campuses around the country —.
noteably the University of Ala­bama
and the University of Flori­da—
Auburn's problem may not
seem very bad. At the aforemen­tioned
schools, even the campus
elections are Fraternity vs. Inde­pendent
affairs.
Here at Auburn the problem is
more of an attitude than actual
physical conflict. To a great many
fraternity men, the Independent
is an ill mannered clod who knows
nothing except how to slip a slide
rule and how to get to class in
the morning. He proudly points to
the superior fraternity grade
point average, puffs up his chest
and-says, "My, what a good boy
am I." He submerges himself
within his own little group and
has no contact with the outside
world of Independents.
Equally guilty is a very vocal
minority of Independents, who,
for various reasons, think all fra­ternity
men are snobbish 's,
who do nothing but eat, sleep,
drink and date—mostly drink.
These groups form the nucleus
of the problem. They condemn
without thinking, and in so doing
win many disciples among other
non-thinkers. The problem has
not yet reached great proportions
on this campus, but it could.
I do not attempt to offer a so­lution,
but merely point out that
there is a problem. It should be
a challenge to the newly-elected
Interfraternity and Panhellenic
Council officers. I trust that they
will take it as such.

English Prof Writes
Highly Rated Novel
"A Buried Land," the third
,'novel to come from the pen of
Madison Jones, assistant profes­sor
of English at Auburn Univer­sity,
will be released April 29 by
Viking Press. Publication also is
scheduled in Canada and France.
Jones, teacher of creative writ­ing,
is being hailed for a "brilliant
performance" by such distinguish-
[ ed writers as Andrew Lytle and
Robrt Penn Warren. The latter
said, after reading Jones' new
book, "It would be no surprise to
find, in the fulness of time, this
writer comfortably situated among
the best of his generation."
"A Buried Land" is set in the
TVA hill country of Tennessee in
the '40's just preceding and fol­lowing
the flooding of the coun­tryside.
Jones' first book, "The Inno­cent,"
was published in 1957. It
was followed in 1960 by "Forest
of the Night."
In 1954-55 he held a Sewanee
Review Fellowship in Fiction, and
in 1953 was published in Martha
Foley's "Best American Short
Stories."
Prof. Jones is a native of Ten­nessee.
He graduated from Van-derbilt
University and received
the M. A. degree from University
of Florida. He taught at Miami of
Ohio and University of Tennes­see
before coming to Auburn in
1956.
Jones says he considers writ­ing
"my most serious business."
It took him two years to com­plete
his new book and he intends
to begin another immediately. He
writes a page or so a day, "the
way it comes naturally." He is
married and the father of five
children.
DELEGATES REPRESENT AUBURN
AT YOUNG REPUBLICANS MEET
On the weekend of April 19-21,
fifteen members of the Auburn
University Young Republican
Club traveled to Tuscaloosa to
represent the Auburn Club at the
State Young Republican Conven­tion.
The purpose of the conven­tion
was to elect state officers for
the next two years. Elections are
conducted in the same manner as
national conventions which nomi­nate
candidates for the presiden­cy.

Political Seminar
Tentative arrangements have
been made for a forthcoming po­litical
seminar to be held on the
evening of May 9 in Langdon Hall.
The program, sponsored jointly by
the Young Republican Club and
the Young Democrat Club, will
have as its purpose an explanation
of the differences between the
Republican and Democratic par­ties
in America.
Featured speaker for the Demo­cratic
position will be Julian But­ler,)
of the University of Alabama
Law School. Butler is also an as­sistant
to Senator Lister Hill CD-Ala.).
Speaking for the Republican po­sition
will be John Grenier, chair­man
of the State Republican Par­ty.
Grenier attended Tulane and
is a graduate of the Columbia Law
School.
The platform will bring about a
confrontation of two articulate
political spokesmen and should
feature a debate of the merits of
liberalism versus conservatism.
Further details of the seminar
will appear in next week's paper.
Persons seeking further informa­tion
should contact John Dickas,
president of the Young Republi­can
club at 887-7856, or Harry
Wilkinson, spokesman for the
Young Democrats at 887-3392.

and Mike Plunkett.
The Auburn club is now the
largest collegiate young republi­can
club in the state, and is sec­ond
only to the Jefferson County
Young Republicans in total mem­bership.
The next local meeting of the
Young Republican Club will be
held on Monday, May 6, at 7:00

residence basis. Dean Foy stated
that more schools were turning to
a school basis of legislature rep­resentation
because of difficulties
in communication between stu­dent
leaders and the members of
a class. Mr. Foy brought out the
point that a place of residence
basis for selection was difficult
at many schools. The reason cited
was the constantly changing resi­dence
habits of students during
an academic year.
Guest Speaker
Guest speaker for the confer­ence
was Mr. Herb F. Reinhard,
past executive secretary of SUS­GA.
Reinhard is currently the ac­tivities
director for the Indiana
Memorial Union at Indiana Uni­versity.
He is a former assistant
dean of student affairs at Au­burn.
The s p e a k e r complimented
SUSGA on its rapid growth in
size and services. He urged the
organization to remain a service
group. Delegates were warned
against letting SUSGA become an
organization centered on politics
within the group. The National
Student Association was used as
an illustration for the impending
downfall facing a group based on
political activity.

THE PLAINSMAN AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1963 PAGE 6
Just Keep Winning . . .
A few words of congratulations are in order for the Tiger base­ball
team. By downing the Florida Gators twice last weekend, they
demonstrated the talent and desire necessary to win the SEC cham­pionship.
I must admit that I was mildly (and pleasantly) surprised
with the outcome of the two-game series. I shouldn't have been—
Larry Dempsey gave me warning earlier in the week! "I don't think
we will lose any more games this season," said he. "Since this is
Coach Nix's first year, it would look mighty good for him if we win
the championship." At that time, Larry sounded determined. Last
weekend he and the rest of the team were determined . . . they won
walking away.
Going into the disastrous series here on the Plains, the Gators
were ranked number 5 in the nation. According to our way of reas­oning
the Tigers, by downing Florida twice, should now be well es­tablished
in the top ten teams in the country.
Batting Practice, Anyone?
Several of the Plainsmen had a field day against the defending
champs. Jimmy Ba.rfield raised his average from .298 up to .357, con­sidered
respectable in any league. Joe Overton climbed to .429, which
leads the team. Joe has now struck out 72 batters in 70 innings and
owns an ERA of 1.02, the best mark in the Conference. Batting as a
team, the Tigers are barely below the .300 mark at .295.
'Bye 'Bye Wildcats . . .
According to editorials appearing in The Kentucky Kernel, the
University of Kentucky student newspaper, the school should pull
out of the SEC, if necessary, in order to field an integrated basketball
team next winter.
It seems that eight of Coach Rupp's top basketball prospects are
Negroes. The staff of the school paper took it upon themselves to send
out questionnaires to SEC schools regarding future contests involving
these players. Only Tulane, a "semi-private" university, and Georgia
Tech answered that they are willing to compete with an integrated
team on their home court next season.
If the Baron (Rupp) hopes to continue his dominance of the SEC
hardwood circuit by fielding integrated squads, it appears they may
indeed have to pull out of the Conference.
Speaking of winners, the Tiger cindermen appear to be headed
for another undefeated season. If our memory serves us correctly,
this will be their fourth consecutive year without a'loss in dual com­petition.
I hope they fare as well in the SEC meet this month.
Tigers Take Florida
In Baseball Games
At Plainsman Park
By GERALD RUTBERG
Assistant Sports Editor
Playing continuous heads-up
baseball, t h e Auburn Tigers
swept a two-game series from
the Florida Gators at Plainsman
Park, 7-5 and 9-2 last weekend,
in a pair of rough and tumble
baseball encounters.
Friday's tussle saw the Tigers
ward off a ninth inning Gator
rally with Joe Overton stepping
in to retire the only three batters
to face him and preserve the vic­tory
for ace reliever Jerry Lew-ter,
who took over for Larry
Dempsey in the fourth. Lewter's
record is now 3-0.
Mailon Kent's sharp single in
the sixth inning with the bases
loaded enabled the Plainsmen to
forge ahead for the first time.
Florida scored the first run in
their half of the first with Au­burn
drawing blood in the bottom
half of the inning on Jimmy Bar-field's
successful home plate col­lision
after singling.
Jimmy Martin's single, a triple
by Barfield, and a sacrifice fly by
Jim Bachus saw the Tigers clinch
the contest in the seventh.
Florida's Jim Eggart absorbed
his first loss of the season against
six victories.
On Saturday, with a host of
major league scouts in attendance,
big Joe Overton twirled a mast­erful
five-hitter in baffling the
Gators for nine innings. He gave
up only one hit for the first
seven innings and retired 19
straight b a t t e r s during one
stretch. Combining a blazing fast­ball
with three dancing curves,
he was never in danger as his
mates scored early and often to
pave the way.
He struck out seven, walked
one, and collected two hits in
four at-bats to cap a perfect day.
This victory enabled the Tigers
to take a commanding two-game
lead in Eastern Division play
with only four games remaining
to be played. ,

Plainsman Sports Writer
Led by the passing duo of J i m m y Sidle and George Rose,
Auburns Blue forces defeated the gallant Orange squad, 14-7,
S a t u r d a y in Cliff Hare Stadium before an estimated crowd
of 10,000 spectators, including one spotted dog.
The Orange squad, composed of second and t h i r d team
members, kicked off to the Blues,
comprised of the first and fourth
teams, to start the contest. The
battle continued scoreless until
the last 25 seconds of the half.
At this point the Orange team
moved the ball for 35 yards to
take the leading margin.
Gerald Gross made a 16-yard
runback of Sidle's 31-yard kick
to the Blue's 35 to get things
started. Spearheaded by Bill
Cody, along with Gross, Cochran,
and Rawson, moved the ball
down to the six-yard line.
At this time big Larry Rawson,
for the Orange, took the ball from
Cody and bulled his way through
right guard for the T.D. Don
Lewis added the extra point for
the Orange's seven points.
The third quarter was a seesaw
battle with neither team scoring.
Sidle, with the Blue, made a
strong effort to score once when
he threw to Frederickson for a
43-yard gain. Frederickson ran to
the Orange's 27. Sidle ran twice
for a first down on the 15, but
at this point the outstanding de­fense
of the Orange put a stop to
this drive. On the seven, Rawson
salem, who outclassed Richard by
winning 6-0, 6-0. The match last­ed
only 23 minutes. In the No. 2
singles match, Eddie Terrill of
Alabama downed Jackie Finney
6-4, 6-3.
Auburn's next opponent is the
Rebel squad from Ole Miss. The
Rebels have a good record and are
greatly improved over last year's
squad. The Tigers will face Mis­sissippi
today in Tuscaloosa and
it will be the last dual meet for
Auburn prior to the SEC Tourna­ment.

Oh yes, and genuine even without

MANY of you like our button-downs so much that you can hardly
. bear to wear anything else even on special evenings; now there is
no reason why you should. And since we already make button-downs
in 386 fabrics, patterns, and colors it would have been unthoughtful of
us not to make it an even 387 with this button-cuff button-down
of fine broadcloth.* You can find it at the best men's shops although not
always under our label (many stores like our shirts so much they sell
them under their own names). If you'd like to know which in your
vicinity please write us: Eagle Shirtmakers, Quakertown, Pennsylvania.
•Notice it bulges gracefully at the collar just like the other 386. One time a man, new to our button-downs, wrote
, to say that the collar didn't lie flat. When we told Helen Mohr, in Collars, about it she said that she was relieved.
made a neat tackle to stop Sidle
short of a first down.
After the Orange team failed
to move the ball, Kilgore kicked
out from deep in his own terri­tory.
This was no average kick,
for it sailed 67 yards to put the
Blues Way back on their own 19-
yard line.
The Blues seemed to be on the
move again as Sidle broke into
the clear and raced for 35 yards
before Sutton nailed him.
On the next play Alex Bowden
made a leaping interception to
put another stop to a Blue threat.
In the fourth quarter the Blues
opened up. With 10 minutes left
in the game, Rose made a bril­liant
77-yard touchdown after
catching Sidle's sideline pass.
Van Dyke's recovery of Cody's
fumble on the Orange 24 set the
stage for the winning touchdown.
With third and eight to go,
Sidle overthrew Rose in the right
flat, but Rose made a one-handed
catch of the ball on the run and
scored standing.
Sidle ran for two points and
the Blues were ahead for good,
14-7 with less than two minutes
left to play.
Two senior backs—Rawson and
Rose—finished in a tie for the
most outstanding back honors
selected by members of the press
and radio.
Don Heller, a junior guard from
Cleveland, Ohio, won the Most
Outstanding Linesman award.
Senior Bill Van Dyke of Atlanta
took a close second.
There was a question that
seemed to be in almost everyone's
mind before the game, "Was
Jimmy Sidle going to be needed
at quarterback for both squads?"
Bill Cody answered this ques­tion
with a positive NO as he
stepped forth and proved to be
one of the top stars of the after­noon.
Steve Osburne, Tommy Lewis,
Jerry Popwell, Cody, Cochran,
and Rawson were the defensive
standouts for the Orange team.
On the Blue's defense, Heller,
Van Dyke, Mike Bodnan, Bobby
Walton, Mike Alford and Rose
were the most impressive.

HOW TO SEE EUROPE
FOR ONLY $300 A DAY: NO. 1
Summer vacation is just around the corner, and naturally all
of you are going to Europe. Perhaps I can offer a handy tip
or two. (I must confess'that I myself have never been to
Europe, but I do have a French poodle and a German shepherd,
so I am not entirely unqualified.)
First let me say that no trip to Europe is complete without
a visit to England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Germany,
Spain, Portugal, Italy, Lichtenstein, Holland, Belgium, Luxem­bourg,
Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Po­land,
Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Russia,
Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania, Crete, Sardinia, Sicily, Hungary,
Rumania, Bulgaria, Lapland, and Andorra.
Let us take up these countries in order. First, England.
Nobody's really suggesting romance will be yours if you wear
U.S. Keds.But it is true that Keds are the best-fitting, the most
comfortable, good-looking and long-wearing fabric casuals you
can buy. Because Keds are made with costlier fabrics. With an
exclusive shockproofed arch cushion and cushioned innersole.
In short, with all those "extras" that make them your best buy
in the long run. Head for your nearest Keds dealer. Get that
Keds look, that Keds fit...GET THAT GREAT KEDS FEELING!

The capital of England is London—or Liverpool, as it is
sometimes called. There are many interesting things to see in
London—chiefly the changing of the guards. The guards are
changed daily. The old ones are thrown away.
Another "must" while in London is a visit to the palace of
the Duke of Marlborough. Marlborough is spelled Marlborough,
but pronounced Marlboro. English spelling is very quaint, but
terribly disorganized. The late George Bernard Shaw, author
of Little Women, fought all his life to simplify English spelling.
They tell a story about Shaw once asking a friend, "What does
g-h-o-t-i spell?"
The friend pondered a bit and replied, "Goatee."
Shaw sniggered. "Pshaw," said Shaw. "G-h-o-t-i does not
spell goatee. It spells fish."
"How is that?" said the friend.
Shaw answered, "Gh as in enough, o as in women, ti as in
motion. Put them all together, you get fish."
This was very clever of Shaw when you consider that he was
a vegetarian. And a good thing he was. As Disraeli once re­marked
to Guy Fawkes, "If Shaw were not a vegetarian, no
lamb chop in London would be safe."
But I digress. We were speaking of the palace of the Duke of
Marlborough—or Marlboro, as it is called in the United States.
It is called Marlboro by every smoker who enjoys a fine, rich
breed of tobaccos, who appreciates a pure white filter, who likes
a soft pack that is really soft, a Flip-Top box that really flips.
Be sure you are well supplied with Marlboros when you make
your trip abroad. After a long, tiring day of sightseeing there
is nothing so welcome as a good flavorful Marlboro and a foot­bath
with hot Epsom salts.
Epsom salts can be obtained in England at Epsom Downs.
Kensington salts can be obtained at Kensington Gardens,
Albert salts can be obtained at Albert Hall, Hyde salts can be
obtained at Hyde Park, and the crown jewels can be obtained
at the Tower of London.
The guards at the Tower of London are called Beefeaters
because they are always beefing about what they get to eat.
This is also known as "cricket" or "petrol."
Well, I guess that about covers England. In next week's
column we will visit the Land of the Midnight Sun—France.

Wherever you may roam in Europe and in all fifty states of the
Union, you'll find Marlboro ever-present and ever-pleasant—filter,
flavor, pack or box.
Tigers Conclude Season
Against Tennessee Vols
GERALD RUTBERG
Assistant Sports Editor
. Auburn's surprising Tigers
close out regular season play this
Friday and Saturday by enter­taining
the Tennessee Volunteers
in the friendly confines of Plains­man
Park for a pair of Eastern
Division SEC baseball games.
Depending upon the outcome of
their series with the University of
Georgia earlier in the week, it
will be necessary for the Plains­men
to win none, one, or both en­counters
with the Vols to nab the
Eastern Division Crown. At this
writing the Tiger record is 12-2,
with Tennessee, Florida and
Georgia, all having a mathema­tical
chance for the title. By win­ning
one of their final four tilts,
the Plainsmen could do no worse
than tie for the crown, and by
winning two or more, they will
take the top-spot outright.
Volunteer hopes for the title r e ­ceived
a jolt when the Tennes-seans
were upended twice in suc­cession
by the Bulldogs of Geor­gia,
last weekend.
Expected to hurl for the War
( Eagles in one of the weekend bat­tles
is big Joe Overton, who has
been hailed as Auburn's finest
pitcher since former Boston Red
Sox star, Willard Nixon, was fir­ing
on the Plains. Overton owns
a 5-2 record and his earned run
average is a nifty 1.02. Scouts
from several major league clubs
have watched the ace righthander
perform throughout the season.
Joe has a .429 batting average in
addition to his excellent mound
work and has driven in five runs
for the season.
Leading regular hitter for the
Tigers is Jimmy Barfield with a
.357 average based on 20 hits in
56 achats. Folowing Jimmy is
Jim Bachus, erstwhile center-fielder,
who is hitting for a .317
percentage.
Other sluggers include Jimmy
Partin, Mailon Kent, Dink Haire,
Vic Svetlay, Larry Dempsey, Otis
Bibb, and Wayne Fowler. Demp­sey
leads the squad in RBI's with
18, and Svetlay and Bachus have
13 each.
Jerry Lewter will be counted
upon to supply any relief work
if needed. His record is 3-0 on
the season with a 1.60 earned run
average.
Blue vs, Orange...
(Continued from page 6)
One harmful factor for both
had on holding onto the ball,
squads that should not be over­looked
is the trouble the teams
There were a total of six fumbles,
four for the Orange and two for
the Blues.
But this was overshadowed by
the hard playing of both com­ponents,
with the Orange team
seeming much more aggressive
according to Head Coach Jordan.
In combining these two teams
for next fall, it is expected that
Auburn will have an above aver­age
football team. Only time will
tell.

One of Auburn's finest track­men
this year is hard-running
Jerry i5mith. Jerry, who hails
from Birmingham, has already
turned in some outstanding times.
In Auburn's-, upset victory over
Alabama two weeks ago, Jerry
made the record books with a
very creditable 47 second 440.
This is the best 440 in the SEC
this year.
Last Saturday he captured the
440 against Florida with a some­what
slower time of 48.7.
Jerry is tHe type of person who
excels under pressure. Against
Alabama he made his run to glory
with Alabama track star Jack
Haynes right behind him.
He has a tremendous desire and
the ability to take the type of
punishment a star trackman must
endure.
Outside of the track team,
Jerry is also treasurer of the A-Olub.
Jerry is a sophomore and will
be eligible for two more years.
Given two years he could turn
into one of Auburn's all-time
great cindermen.

In SEC Tournament
HALE STONE

Coach Sonny Dragoin's 1963
Auburn golf team -closed •out- their
dual meet season here last April
20 by defeating Georgia Tech and
dropping matches to Georgia and
Alabama. The week's activities
left the Tigers with a final record
of five wins and six losses. How­ever
the SEC Tournament, which
will be held in Athens this week,
is the meet on which a successful
season usually depends. Auburn
finished second in the strong SEC
competition last year, and Coach
Dragbin hopes that his squad Will
be able to equal that fine showing
this season. The Tigers have
scored victories over Michigan
State, FSU, Chattanooga, Alabama
and Georgia Tech during the cam­paign,
while dropping matches to
Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama,
FSU, and Purdue.
Ample revenge was gained on
the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
here last April 23rd, as the Plains­men
linksters racked the Jackets
J6 to i\. Captain Morris Slingluff
paced'the Tigers with a 72. Larry
Eririis' was the second low scorer
for Auburn with a 74.

Auburn Takes Fla.
For Year's 3rd Win
Auburn's track team posted its
third victory of the year Satur­day,
with a 91-44 romp over
Florida.
Outstanding in the Tiger vic­tory
was senior Gary Ray. He
edged out Florida's outstanding
sprinter George Leach in the 100,-
yard dash and the 220.
Ray turned in a creditable 9.9
100 and 21.7 second 220.
Also having a good day for
Auburn was Charles Patterson
who turned in two victories for
the afternoon. He won in the
mile and two mile runs.
Auburn's superior depth sound­ed
the death knell for the Florida
cindermen. Several times during
the course of the meet the Tigers
took two of the first three posi­tions.
Auburn took a total of 12 first
places, eight second places, and
seven third places. Included was
a clean sweep in the pole vault.
Auburn has only one remaining
dual meet. They meet with Geor­gia
Tech this Saturday in Au­burn.
Then on May 17-18 the
Tigers will move to Birmingham
for the Southeastern Conference
meet.
Tigers Lead Eastern Division
With the Southeastern Confer­ence
baseball season in its final
week, only the Western Division
race has been decided. The East­ern
Division battle finds Auburn
near clinching the title with a
substantial two-game lead. How­ever,
the Tigers have four games
left on the slate.
Mississippi is the titleholder in
the Western sector, with Missis­sippi
State only a mild challen­ger
throughout the season. The
Rebels boast one of the SEC's top
hitters in dual sport star Donnie
Kessinger, who is batting better
than .400. He is also an outstand­ing
basketball guard and holds
many University of Mississippi
records in that sport.
Georgia, Florida, and Tennes­see
all have a mathematical
chance to nab the Eastern title
from Auburn, but the Plainsmen
need to emerge victorious in only
two of their remaining four
games to win outright. Auburn
swept a pair of games from Flor­ida,
the leading contender, last
Friday and Saturday to shove the
Gators a full two games behind.
In other contests, Georgia Tech
dampened Tennessee's prospects
by dumping the Vols twice in
Atlanta. This left the Knoxville-men
with an 8-5 Division record
for the season. Georgia's Bulldogs
rapped Kentucky twice and ex­tended
their record to 7-5 on the
season. Auburn faces the Bull­dogs
. in Athens on Monday and
Tuesday of this week.
Alabama fell to Mississippi on
Friday by an 11-5 margin, but
their second game was postponed
because of rain the following day.
Mississippi State bounced Tulane
9-2 last Saturday.

With the intramural softball season past the halfway
mark, the undefeated ranks have been cut to four teams.
AGR, SN, OTS, and DU remain unbeaten, and each team
leads its respective league.
This time a year ago, the first three of these four teams
mentioned were in the same posi
tion. DU continues to be the only
all-winning team not in last
year's play-off.
AGR again rode the pitching
arm of Harrel Watts to victory.
Watts gave up three singles and
struck out 12 batters in a 6-0
shut-out over TX. Watts also
contributed a home run and a
double. Other top hitters for AGR
Braswell, Sammy • Hall, N e ll
Stuart.

were Wynn and Dauphin with
two hits apiece.
SN came a step closer to meet­ing
AGR in the play-off for the
fifth straight year by defeated
PGD 7-0. Odom of SN was one of
the games leading hitters with
two doubles and one single. Mul-lins
was another top hitter by
banging out three singles. SN's

DRIVE-IN

THE SCENE ABOVE is typical of the action at Plainsman
Park last weekend in the Auburn-Florida series. Larry Dempsey
is driving back toward first base after attempting to steal. Thus
far, the Tigers have stolen 46 bases. Last year they stole only one
base during the whole season. This is indicative of hard work and
excellent timing.
Frosh Team Posts Wins
By GEORGE STALLARD
Coach Fred Walker reports that
his frosh baseball squad of 16
men has complied a record of five
wins and two defeats. Two shut­outs,
one a no-hitter, were notch­ed
against the Baby YeMow Jac­kets
of Georgia Tech.
With the beginning of the
Spring Quarter approximately 60
hopefuls reported for the initial
Freshman baseball tryouts. How­ever,
varsity Coach Paul Nix
thought it wiser to have a small
club with quality, rather than a
large one with little or no indi­vidual
attention. Thus, the team
was cut to a 16-man outfit.
The coach of the Tiger Frosh,
Fred Walker, has played five
years of professional baseball.
Excellent pitching has been the
club's strong point throughout the
campaign. The pitching staff fea­tures
four good prospects for the
varsity next season. These hurl­ing
hopefuls include: Larry Hart­ley
from Satsumia, Ala., Duke
Shackleford from Atlanta, Ga.,
Larry Wilson from Auburn, and
Harvey Spiegel, a native of Fort
Myers, Florida.
Rick Frost from Montevallo,
and Dan Smith from Dothan,
have been used in relief and will
continue to perform in this capa­city.
Mainstay of the hurlers, Duke
Shackleford, has registered 24
strikeouts in 16 innings. Against
Snead Junior College, Shackle­ford
whiffed 17 batters. His r e ­cord
is 2-0. When not pitching,
Duke performs in right field.
Another good prospect for the
Varsity next year is Frank Fryer,
the first-sacker from Brundidge,
Ala. Frank stands 6'2", weights
185 pounds, and is an aggressive
type ball player.
