Merchants Slash Prices
During City-Wide Sale
By GRENELDA GRUNCH
In keeping with their usual liberal policies, the local
mercenaries,—er, merchants have announced a city-wide sale
to be held this afternoon only.
The local bookie joints,—er bookstores are featuring spe­cial
prices on slightly damaged slide rules which normally
sell for $24.95. These instruments
will be sold for only $37.50 while
the supply lasts. Also at Gyp'um
and Baloney a special donation
will be asked ($1.00 minimum,
please!) for Mrs. Baloney, who
strained her back while hauling
the day's receipts to the local
New Rules Change
Made For Women
By SALLY CHASTE
The Dean of Women's Office
announced today a change in reg­ulations
governing the conduct of
women students on the campus. A
vast revision in the overall struc­ture
of "co-etiquette" has been
proposed. Plans are included to
resolve the short skirt conflict.
Dean Katharine Cater an­nounced
the new policy as "one
which will increase the extra-academic
freedom of our girls and
aid them in their endeavors to
obtain their MRS. degrees."
Rules pertaining to the length
of skirts are as follows: (1) Wo­men's
skirts shall not extend be­low
the knee and shall not ex­ceed
the height of tennis skirts
worn by SEC star Roberta Alli­son.
There is no desire on the part
of this institution to limit the
height of skirts, but such limita­tion
is necessary because of strong
conservative opinion in the area.
Other rule changes include the
following: (2) All women stu­dents
above the age of 12 years
and majoring in engineering phy­sics
will be permitted to visit the
apartments of male students at
their own discretion.
(3) Women students will be al­lowed
to date at the SAE frater­nity
house without the presence
of a housemother because of the
exceptional conduct shown by
this group in the past year.
(4) Women students must cat
all meals in the women's dining
halls. (The terminology of this
rule has not been changed, but
'•<: purpose for the rule has been
^Sated.) This rule has been es­tablished
so that those women not
having indigestion and stomach
diseases may catch same and
there be on a level with those al­ready
having such disorders. Con­formity
is to be desired in the Au­burn
woman.
(5) Those women not residing
in university housing, private
homes and apartments shall be
permitted to wear shorts to the
lake.
(6) Women students shall be
permitted to partake of alcoholic
beverages under the following
conditions: a) a woman student
must be able to arrive at the dorm
and greet the housemother under
her own power (crawling up the
stairs to rooms is permissable),
and be a certified resident of
Locust Fork, Ala., over 30 years
of age.

Mr. Looney Jones, mayor of the
community, stated that the local
inhabitants were thankful to Au­burn
students for helping to keep
this hamlet at the top in the na­tion's
volume of business. He said
that in view of this distinction,
in additional 1 per cent tax will
be levied on all students who pre­sent

Haggard Named
To Revive ACOIA
By Fidel Castro
Foreign Correspondent
Auburn's Conference on Inter­national
Affairs will be resumed
next spring, it was announced to­day
in an exclusive release to the
Plainsman from the third floor of
the Auburn Union.
Jim Haggard, well-known poli­tical
demogague, will once again
be in charge of the conference.
Haggard said that he was ap­pointed
tofrevive ACOIA because
in recent months he has been too
busy to hold any other position.
"ACOIA," he added, "is my only
political success."
ACOIA was discontinued this
year due to a lack of funds. The
ACOIA committee is confident
that this will be remedied by the
proceeds from two coffee ma­chines
which are to be placed in
the SGA and IFC offices next
month. A request has also been
submitted to the Alabama legis­lature
for a $2.8 million dollar
appropriation for the Conference.
The committee feels that even af­ter
proration this amount should
be sufficient to cover the expense
of name-tags and stationery.
Several well-known speakers
have already expressed interest in
addressing the conference. Among
those who have consented to
speak at ACOIA are Fidel Castro
(with Che' Guevera acting as in­terpreter),
who will speak on
"The Joys of Peaceful Co-exis­tence
in the Western Hemis­phere,"
and Marvin Q. Rainwater,
president of the Society for the
Preservation of Wooden Toilet
Seats (known colloquially as the

Suit Filed By Alabama's Head Coach
Over Jordan's Controversial Statement
By F. B. INVENTORY
Paul "Bear" Bryant, head football coach—University of
Alabama, announced yesterday that he would file a law suit
against "Shag" Jordan in reply to a statement Jordan made
Monday.

team and the girls sun-bathing

Kennedy could not be reached
for comment on this matter due
to the fact that he was in session
with the supream court, where
he and his family had the Jus­tices
outnumbered two-to-one.
He was winning a vigorous vic­tory.
It is unknown just how much
Bryant plans to sue Jordan for,
since his lawyers think he may
possibly make enough money off
of law suits this year to put him
in the 95 per cent tax bracket. If
this is the case he will possibly
discount many gambling losses
which he incurred during this
year's football season.
Herman Fisher, mild-manner­ed
reporter for a great metro­politan
newspaper who fights a
never-ending battle for truth,
justice, and the Georgian way,
was heard to state, "Gee whilik-ers,

first." Mr. Fisher has been linked
with several such fiascos in the
past year.
Upon b e i n g asked by Dr.
Draughton how this feat was to
be brought about, Jordan ex­plained
that he would receive
Bryant's plays at a secret meet­ing
just prior to the game. He
will also receive several of the

true by Mr. James E. Foy, when
he made "Shag" place his right

Speaker Announced
For Greek Week
It was announced late Monday
afternoon that Dr. Adam Clayton
Powell (D. N.Y.) has agreed to
be principal speaker at Auburn's
1963 Greek Week banquet, to be
held April 23.
Powell stated that although his
Washington duties kept him oc­cupied
most of the time, he does
manage to get away "two or three
times a year," and that he would
be happy to make the trip to Au­burn.
Powell is a well known con­gressional
leader and humanitar­ian
of world-wide fame. He is
chairman of such worthy institu­tions
as the NAAACP (National
Association for the Advancement
of Adam Clayton Powell) and the
IHC (Integrate Harlem Commit­tee).
He also owns a travel bu­reau.
Several other speakers had
been considered, including Atty.
Gen. Kennedy and UN Under­secretary
Ralph Bunche, but
Powell's letter of acceptance had
the earliest postmark and was
therefore chosen.
Owen Brown, president of the
Auburn Interfraternity Council,
stated, "We are indeed pleased to
have such a noted person as Rep.
Powell address o u r banquet.
There was a time when we would
not have considered bringing him
into this state, but people are
more educated and tolerant in
this modern age, and we are sure
that no one will resent his being
a Baptist." • • --
Colonel Writes Petition
For Abolition Of ROTC

In a petition submitted yester­day
to the Department of Defense
and the administration of Auburn
University, Colonel Ralph I. Wil­liams,
head of Air Force ROTC at

that ROTC should be abolished.

Dr. Draughon Submits Resignation
Draughon Cites Desire For Retirement
As Major Reason For Resignation
By X. SPELLED
Administration Critic
Dr. Ralph Brown Draughon resigned this week as Presi­dent
of Auburn University. The resignation was submitted
to the Board of Trustees on Monday afternoon. No specific
reasons were given for the resignation although most offi­cials
speculated a desire for retirement as the basic cause.
The University Board of Trus
tees immediately passed a reso­lution
congratulating Dr. Draugh­on
upon his "long years of service
to the institution and sister insti­tutions
throughout the state."
Action was also taken to begin
procedures for finding a suitable
successor.
One candidate for the position,
James Dinsmore, was eliminated
because of his relatively young
age. Other names being mention­ed
by various university sources
for consideration are Dean of
Students James E. Foy, Supreme
Court Justice Earl Warren and
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy. The board reminded
press members at the meeting
that only those candidates suit­able
to the state administration
would be considered. Some spec­ulators
felt that this statement
would eliminate the candidacy of
Arizona Senator Barry Goldwa-ter.
Upon questioning about his
name being mentioned for the
position, Dean of Student Affairs
James E. Foy stated, "War Eagle."
The board stated that Justice
Warren had been under obser­vation
since he began making
news with the court in 1954. At­torney
General Robert F. Ken­nedy
is a prime candidate but
may have to be dropped from the
list because of competing inter­ests
in Washington, D.C. Mr.
Kennedy stated in a press con­ference
last night that he much
preferred, the presidency of Au
bum University but would likely
accept the presidency of the
United States because of a lack
of funds to travel to Auburn.
When queried by reporters about
the use of Air Force jets for this
purpose, Mr. Kennedy reported
Samford Razing Set
For Next Saturday
Next Saturday, -will mark the
end of an era for Auburn. The
Plainsman learned late yesterday
afternoon that beginning early
Saturday morning, Samford Hall
will be torn down to make way
for a new basketball arena.
The famous building, whose
tower has become the symbolical
representation of Auburn, was
built in December of 1849, only
a few short months before the
present University president, Dr.
Ralph Draughon, came to the
campus. Now that Dr. Draughon
holds ranking seniority among
campus fixtures it is expected
that he will become the new
school symbol.
Samford Hall has a long and
rich campus history. It was com­pletely
destroyed by Union For­ces
under Gen. Wilson in 1864,
and was given up as a total cas­ualty
of war. However, University
president J. C. Wallace, an ances­tor
of the present Alabama gov­ernor,
consented to rebuild the
famous landmark after he came
out of the cave in which he was
hiding. He was quoted as re­marking,
"Give me about t h r ee
days."
In 1896, the entire building had
to be torn down once again and
rebuilt when it was discovered
that J. C. had left a serious flaw
in the superstructure of the oth­erwise
beautiful building.
All throughout the 20th Cen­tury,
Samford has served the
cause of higher learning. After its
1896 rebuilding, its history has
been relatively quiet. Many mil­lions
of students, professors, and
administrators have passed
through its quiet portals. Some
have gone on to greater achieve­ments
. . . some have become lost
in the maze of time . . . some
never got out of the building. It
is hoped that in the destruction
process several of these people
will be found.
that they were all out on special
assignments.
Auburn's local chapter of the
Americans for Democratic Action
expressed hope that Sen. Gold-wdter
would still be considered
for the position. A spokesman for
the group stated that the organi­zation
"fully realizes the conflict
of political philosophy between
Sen. Goldwater and the major
portion of the state's citizenry.
However, we do feel that the sen­ator
is our only hope for return­ing
Auburn to a policy of isola­tion
in the classroom."
Dr. Ralph B. Draughon came
to Auburn in 1850. At that time
he instructed civil war cadets in
the art of musket-loading. After
the war, Dr. Draughon became
an instructor in history and poli­tical
nonsense where he served
until 1917. He then assumed the
presidency of this institution (at
that time the Alabama Agricul­tural
and Mechanical Institute
for The Depraved).
Much progress has been made
at Auburn during the reign of Dr.
Draughon. The famous Pop's bev­erage
shack was opened in 1903
for psychological investigation in
the area of extrasensory percep­tion.
Archie's was added in 1935
to supplement this course. Broun
Hall was erected in 1900 to assist
architecture students in their re­cognition
of monstrostities. Per­haps
the most notable achieve­ment
of Dr. Draughon's outstand­ing
career was the year 1962, at
which time he persuaded the
Alabama Legislature to approp­riate
$9.36 for the fiscal year
with a promise of no proration.
Numerous officials paid tribute
to the dedicated service of Dr.
Draughon. As one admirer stated
it, "A proud era has come to an
end."
Plans are now being made for
Dr. Draughon's name to be carv-
•ed on the top of the flagpole be­side
Samford Hall so that all stu­dents
and future students will be
constantly reminded of this dedi­cated
public servant.

NAME CHANGE
Charles McCay, of Locust
Fork, Ala., Editor and Chief
of Auburn Newspapers, Inc.,
has announced that effec­tive
with this issue, The
Plainsman will henceforth
be known as The Orange
and Blue.
When asked about the
change, McCay stated, "I
just started thinking, and it
came to me like a bolt out of
the blue: Why not change
the name of the paper? Af­ter
all it will better serve its
purpose of festering the Au­burn
spirit."
Dean James E. Foy, Dean
of Student Affairs, sitting
dejectedly at his desk with
his head in his hands, stated,
"Why? Why? Why? Lam so
disillusioned. First I hear |
Samford is to be town down, i
then that Dr. Draughon is j
leaving, and now this final j
blow. My world is falling I
apart all around me."
It is reported that Mr. Foy |
then scaled the heights of J
Samford Tower and giving
forth a mighty '"War Eagle," |
jumped toward the pave-rhent
below. Fortunately he
landed on a passing eagle
who had mistaken his moan- I
ings for the mating call.
When the eagle discovered
his mistake, he walked away,
laughing too hard to fly. j
Mr. Foy was last seen walk-ihg
in the other direction,
niutterdng to himself.
When told of the change,

AU Library Declared
Unfit For Public Use
By DOLLY DAILY
The new Auburn University Library was officially con­demned
for public use, according to Director Dr. Cantrell's
announcement last Sunday. The. structural framework for
the lavish $2.6 million facility was declared unsafe after
being weakened by the tons of new books which the Univer
sity of Mississippi and the Uni­versity
of Alabama donated after
their libraries were appropriated
f o r quartering United States
troops and guerilla forces proud­ly
sent from the Viet-Cong Na­tional
Army. Dr. Ralph B.
Draughon called a special meet­ing
of the Board of Trustees to
authorize an investigation and to
draw up a petition to the Govern­or
of Alabama to donate the extra
volumes to the Chemistry Li­brary.
Buildings and Grounds ex­pressed
regret that they were un­able
to effect temporary repairs
since Corporal Chestfun had dis­missed
his staff of aides for in­competence
in General Court-
Martial proceedings held in the
hog-pond. However, plans are
still being formed in cooperation
with the Auburn Bed Rollers to
construct flying buttresses from
the extra materials from the new
Home Economics Building.
It is hoped that the ground
floor of the library can still be
saved so that Dr. Cantrell can
teach advanced courses in Span­ish
Literature. After the floors
in the old library have been torn
out, the destruction gang will
begin ripping out the third and
fourth floors of the new library
to make room for the grand­stands
to enclose the bull-fight
ring, which will be used for dem­onstration
purposes as a teaching
aid for the proposed Spanish
classes.

Fraternities Placed
On Social Probation
By GUS GREEK
Auburn fraternity men ex­pressed
both surprise and shock
last Sunday morning at the an­nouncement
from President
Draughon's office that, effective
immediately, all Auburn frater­nities
would be on ironclad social
probation for an indefinite period
of time.
The announcement followed a
hastily called 3 a.m. meeting of
University administrators arid
student leaders held in the Office
of Student Affairs. No reason for
the action was immediately avail­able.
President Draughon's o n ly
comment following the meeting
was, "If I'd known about this dis­graceful
situation sooner, I'd be in
bed right now." The only o t h er
comments were those made by
Dean of Student Affairs, James E.
Foy: "War (yawn) Eagle" and an
unidentified student leader:
"Where am I?"
A veil of secrecy now surrounds
the administrative offices, as of­ficials
decline comment on both
the reason for the action and any
possible further action.
Reliable sources say the dras­tic
action may stem from the

be used in AG 942 classes in ad­vanced
soil erosion. The Auburn
University Committee for Better
Relations has requested that the
mercury-vapor lamps at the front
of the library be turned off so
that the front grounds can be
used in replacement for Biggio
Flats. In his retirement speech
Dr. Draughon expressed hopes
that the Board of Trustees would
act quickly on these requests.
Dean Foy requests all loyal
Auburn students to walk quietly
on tip-toes in the vicinity of the
condemned building. Comment­ing
on a rumor that a student
had been removing fallen bricks
for souvenirs, Dean Foy empha­tically
stated, "I don't believe
that any Auburn student would
do such a thing!"
The Plainsman will report to
the students next week on all
future developments resulting
from the Board of Trustees ac­tion
on this matter.
McCay Presented
Co-operation Award
The first annual Turner-Pum-phrey
Cooperation Award was
presented to this newspaper at a.
banquet last evening in Wilmore
Laboratories. The award is given
"to the organization or institution
on campus that has shown the
most cooperative attitude" toward
the dpnors, Mrs. Louise Turner
and Dean Fred H. Pumphrey.
Mrs. Turner, director, writer,
producer, coreographer, business
manager, public relations direc­tor,
and stage hand for the Au­burn
Dance Corps, said, in pre­senting
the award, a 11x14 photo­graph
of herself, to editor Charles
McCay, "Yoo-Hoo McCay, nobody
ever stops to think of the amount
of work that goes into these pro­ductions.
I do it all myself and
nobody asks if they can help and
I never ask anybody to help.
These kids work hard to put on
these productions and so do I, and
I demand some publicity—some
good publicity, and if you don't
do something about it, I'll see to
it that something is done about
you!"
At this point McCay thanked
Mrs. Turner by saying (since this
is a family publication, we are
forced to omit the editor's com­ments.)
Next on the agenda was
the presentation of the other half
of the award, a BA. degree in
electrical engineering from the
University of Alabama. In making
the presentation, Dr. Pumphrey,
dean of the engineering school
and other donor, made several
choice comments concerning the
Plainsman.
Those attending the banquet
were then entertained by Mrs.
Turner and the Corps in several
stirring dance numbers from
"West Side Story."
The banquet was financed by
funds earmarked for use by the
Dolphin Club and Tiger Sharks.
Police Attack Students;
Large-Scale Riot Results
Morris Walker, local AU student, was arrested Saturday
for driving on the drill fields. Students were aroused at the
rough treatment given Walker and stormed the Security
Office Sunday.
On questioning by this reporter, Walker gave a full ac­count
of the incident. According
to Walker he was carrying a
friend to the drill field to fly a
model airplane. Upon reaching
the field he found a chain block­ing
the entrance. Not wishing to
carry the plane all the way to
the strip he lifted the chain and
drove onto the field. Walker also
mentioned the absence of tres­passing
signs.
About an hour later a Univer­sity
police officer strode onto the
field with a scowl on his face and
a night-stick in his hand. Talking
roughly to Walker he ordered
him off the field. Bystanders, in
friendly jest, ushered Walker off
the field. The cop, declaring, "he
wasn't going to be made fun of,"
once again asaulted Walker with
threats of prosecution for tres­passing,
reckless driving, disord­erly
conduct, and making ditches

At this point the crowd grew
belligerent and began to shout at
the police officer. People started
edging in as the cop began to
shout, "I stopped two water fights
you." Upon hearing this and see­ing
the gruesome look on the of­ficer's
face the crowd stopped.
When someone reminded the
crowd of the fact that it took the
entire force to stop the other
mobs the crowd, uncowed, again
moved forward. The officer hast­ily
retreated telling Walker,
"Don't call us, we'll call you."
The aroused students, after
gaining reinforcements, attacked
the Security Office Sunday shout­ing,
"Injustice shall be met with
injustice." The mob surged for­ward
and banged on the locked
doors. The mob was finally quell­ed
when student leaders Haggard
and Riley appeared appealing for
mercy for the police. The crowd
went away laughing.
Reports are that Walker had
appealed unsuccessfully for help
from his cousin Edwin. It is re­ported
that he was detained on
military business. The general
consensus of opinion was that the
mob action was great even with­out
Edwin.
Walker reports he has appealed
to the SGA for support in his
case. In commenting on this
Walker said, "I hope to gain a
dual advantage by doing this. I
may help my case and also I will
give the student leaders some­thing
to do."
When asked what further ac­tion
he plans to take Walker said
he would ask the Student Traffic
Committee for help. Walker ex­pressed
regret that the only
member of the committee he
knew was Sam Baker who wasn't
planning to be back in school un­til
this summer. He also has ap­pealed
to President Draughon,
President Kennedy, George Wal­lace,
and Smoky Davis for help.

excuses will be furnished to all
students who do not have classes
during conference hours.
"I strongly urge all my fellow-students
to attend the confer­ence,"
Haggard remarked. "I feel
that it will be of great benefit to
all concerned. I would like to
thank all the members of my
committee for their co-operation
and effort, and in particular Dean
War E. Foy, whose-spirit and en­thusiasm
has been a constant
source of amusement for us all."
Meanwhile the Red Cross moved
into the area.
It has long been common know­ledge
that the Auburn adminis­tration
has taken a hostile attitude
toward social fraternities. One
fraternity president has been
quoted as saying, "We feel as
though we are constantly walk­ing
on egg shells. We are shackled
by so many rules that our mem­bers
are afraid to have a good
time." Another has stated, "They
(the administration) feel that we
are obsolete anachronisms, held
over from another day. We have
had to wage a fight for years just
to stay on campus."
The new probation action has
no effect on the twelve local
chapters already on probation.
As we go to press, rumors are
circulating to the effect that all
fraternities may be banned from
the campus at the beginning of
summer quarter.

There was some speculation
over the weekend as to the final
disposition of the Orange and
Blue Cow which was recently
donated to the University.
At first believed to be a prank,
the Department of Veterinary
Medicine has verified the fact
that the cow is actually orange
and blue to the bone. The multi­colored
bovine was found early
one morning tied to the flag pole
on Samford lawn by ROTC stu­dents
who had come to raise the
flag.
The rather enthusiastic animal
then proceeded to eat the flag,
bend the flagpole, and seriously
injure two advanced cadets. Dean
of Student Affairs, James E. Foy,
is quoted as having said, "Mag­nificent."
A spokesman for the Vet Dept.
took a different view however,
stating, "Get serious. What the
hell are we going to do with an
orange and blue cow?"

VOLUME 90 Auburn University
To Foster The Auburn Spirit
AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1963 8 Pages NUMBER 23
By CHARLES McCAY
No, President Draughon has not
retired and he didn't come here
in 1850; Samford Hall will not be
torn down; Adam Clayton Powell
will not speak at the Greek Week
banquet; and Bear Bryant is not
suing Coach Jordan.
This is the Plainsman's annual
April Fools issue. We hope you
enjoy our little anecdotes con­cerning
this campus and that you
weren't overly disturbed until you
caught on to the jokes.
As we've said, it is a privilege
to be afforded the honor of edit­ing
this paper and even though
the monetary reward is lacking,
we get a kick out of doing it.
The main purpose here is two­fold.
First, the staff of the paper
looks forward to this issue par­ticularly
because it allows them
the luxury of deviation from the
normal course of events. The Sun­day
and Monday night monotony
is replaced by renewed vitality
throughout the office. This alone
is sufficient reason for an issue
such as this.
The second point of the purpose
concerns the student body itself.
We attempt to present stories that
have the humorous quality so of­ten
absent in the week-to-week
publication of the paper.
There are cuts and barbs, cer­tainly,
but all of them are deliv­ered
without animosity. They are
simply good natured jabs at things
as we see them on campus and in
town.
.In the past, the faculty, admin­istration,
merchants, and students
have accepted these barbs in the
jovial manner in which they were
intended. We trust that this will
be the case this year. We certain­ly
hope so!
We are fully aware,that many
statements made in this issue
could prove to be detrimental to
the cause of good newspapering,
but. when taken in.their intended
perspective, they should offend no
one.
Next week's Plainsman will be
published on Friday rather than
Wednesday in order that we may
better accomplish our purpose of
informing the Auburn student by
printing the results of campus
elections.

THE LETTER MEN, nationally known folk singing group,
have been signed by the Village Fair Committee to provide en­tertainment
for the Village Fair Festival, Saturday, April 20.
Other entertainment is being planned for the recently-revamped
event.
Lettermen To Appear For Village Fair;
"Education" Will Be Theme Of Event
The Lettermen have been signed by the IFC to appear
as the top attraction for Village Fair. The singing trio, who
have sold several million LP records, will entertain at the
Fair Festival Saturday night, April 20.
The Festival is planned as the highlight.of Village Fair.
The entertainment, according to
Chairman Ned Pierce, will act as
the "drawing card" for the Fair.
Pierce expects several thousand
high school students to visit the
campus and view the entertain­ment
on Fair Day, April 20.
Miss Village Fair and the VF
scholarship winners will also be
presented at the Festival, which
will begjs at 7:30 rxm. in Cliff
Hare Stadium.
The IFC, as a service to Au­burn,
volunteered to pay for the
bulk of the Festival entertain­ment.
The Lettermen — composed of
Tony Butala, Jim Pike, and Bob
Engemann—have achieved na­tion-
wide popularity. They sing
a whole range of songs—folk
songs; old songs, new songs. They
are considered to be not just a
vocal group but "entertainers."
The Lettermen seem to be quite
popular in Auburn. The local re­cord
stores keep a good supply
of their records on hand, and the

of architecture and arts is obviously climbing the tree as a method

that this is no April Fool's joke.—Staff photo by Jim Laney.
radio stations frequently play a
song or an album by The Letter-men.
In addition to The Lettermen,
other entertainment is planned
for the Festival, which will be
open to the public.
Village Fair itself will begin at
10:00 a.m. on April 20 with regis­tration
for -the,.high school stu­dents.
Throughout the day the
high schoolers will be given guid­ed
tours of the campus. Each
school of the University will pre­sent
an exhibit showing a parti­cular
phase of an Auburn educa­tion.
The purpose of Village Fair
is to acquaint high school juniors
and seniors from Alabama and
surrounding states with the edu­cational
opportunities available
at Auburn.
This year's Fair is a product
of a self-study group which de­cided
to abandon last year's Fair.
The emphasis has now been
placed on "education." However,
according to Chairman Pierce,
much of the success or failure of
this year's VF depends on the
Festival and the ability of the en­tertainment
to "attract."

Kappa Kappa Gamma Installs
Auburn's Epsilon Eta Chapter
By VICTORIA HRUTKAY
Plainsman News Writer
Kappa Kappa Gamma, one of the oldest women's college
fraternities, chartered its 90th chapter, Epsilon Eta, at Au­burn
University the weekend of March 22. This is the second
chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma to be installed in the State
of Alabama.
The installation program began
Friday, March 22, with a fire­side
service held in the Kappa
suite.
On March 23, the charter for
the new fraternity was presented
during installation services. The
chapter from the University of
Alabama was the installing chap­ter
with 25 members attending.
Library Receives
Group Nominations
Two campus groups have un­dertaken
projects to help fill the
empty space on the bookshelves
of Auburn's new library.
The Auburn Panhellenic Coun­cil,
composed of all 12 campus so­rorities,
recently contributed
$1000 cash to be used in purchas­ing
new books for the library.
Auburn's Kappa Chapter of
Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity has
launched an all-out drive to help
increase the holdings of the new
Auburn University Library. The
fraternity is eager to secure the
help of all of Auburn's almost 40,-
000 alumni.
Delta Sig's plan requires no
cash outlay from alumni — only
the willingness to check through
closets, attics, cellars, and seldom
used bookshelves. The ' fraternity
is seeking archival materials and
old books.
Most alumni who cooperate will
not even have to pay shipping
costs. Jimmy Stephens, Delta Sig
University Book Drive Chairman,
and Faculty Advisor Frank Pow­ell
have secured an agreement
from Baggett Transportation to
ship all material without charge
from any of Baggett's seventeen
freight offices in Alabama, At­lanta,
and Chattanooga.
Materials shipped by Baggett
should be "deadheaded" and sent
to University Book Drive, c/o
Delta Sigma Phi House, 231 South
College Street, Auburn, Ala.
Delta Sig's plan, which the
boys worked up themselves, cor­responds
to suggestions that sev­eral
alumni have sent to us. The
fraternity has the facilities and
the location—right across College
Street from the Library—to do
the job. If alumni and friends co­operate,
the Delta Sig drive can
become one of incalculable value
to the Library.
Representatives from 34 chapters
were recognized at the banquet.
Members of the Council and
other national officers here for
the installation were Mrs. Rich­ard
A. Whitney, Cincinnati, O.,
president; Mrs. Robert Lee Nor-rell,
Jr., Columbus, Ohio, execu­tive
secretary; Mrs. Frank Alex­ander
of Charlotte, N.C., national
Panhellenic delegate.
Mrs. Robert E. Wells, Atlanta,
Ga., Mu Province director of
chapters; Mrs. Hatley N. Harri­son,
Jr., Baton Rouge, La., Mu
Province director of Alumnae;
Mrs. Charles J. Chastang, Jr.,
Columbus, O., chairman of exten­sion,
and Mrs. Richard H. Evan's,
Columbus, O., chairman, chapter
finance.
Dr. Miriam Locske, professor of
English at the University of Ala­bama,
was the banquet speaker
Saturday night. A reception for
the Auburn community Sunday
afternoon concluded the three
day activity.
Officers for this newly estab­lished
chapter are Sandra Nor-rell,
president; Shirley Walker,
first vice-president; Linda Shelf-er,
second vice-president; Carol
Freeh, recording secretary; Jane
Lane, corresponding secretary;
Cheryl DeVenny, treasurer; Lu­lie
Edmonson, membership chair­man.
Charter members initiated at
the installation of Epsilon Eta
were Dorothy L e e Blackard,
Cheryl DeVenny, Virginia Lee
Durham, Lulie Radcliff Edmon­son,
Emily W. Hobbie, Jane H.
Lane, Sandra G. Norrell.

Plainsman offices are located in Room 318 of the Auburn Student Union and in the Lee
County Bulletin building on Tichenor Avenue. Entered as second class matter at the post office
in Auburn, Alabama. Subscription rates by mail are $1 for three months and $3 for a full year.
Circulation—9,000 weekly. Publication date is Wednesday.
The Plainsman is represented by the National Advertising Service and affiliated with the
Associated College Press.
The Plainsman is the official student newspaper of Auburn University and is written and
edited by responsible students. Opinions published herein are not necessarily those of the ad­ministration.
TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE
On the publication date preceding every
election, The Plainsman issues a perennial
'go vote' editorial. We shall not discontinue
this practice here but shall endeavor to ap­proach
the subject from a somewhat differ­ent
viewpoint.
In some instances students will see very
little difference in the candidates for a giv­en
office. There is a difference. It is the vo­ting
for this, what may be now a little dif­ference,
which will eventually be a large
one. Student candidates are no different
from professional politicians in one aspect.
They want to be elected and will conform
to the desires of an aroused voting public.
A large voter turnout will create an aware­ness
as to what qualities the student body
wants in its student leaders. As these traits
are studied by future candidates, the now
small perhaps positive number of traits
will be enlarged upon as a prerequisite to
election. A voter of this trend of thought
will thus be voting today for the future po­litical
system which he desires oh the Au­burn
campus.
We shall now consider the dissatisfied
independent voter. Officials have estimated
that in previous student elections with a
voter turnout of some 3300, only about
eight or nine hundred ballots were cast by
independent voters. This means that some
five to six thousand independent students
are not voting. A simple look at the mathe­matics
of the situation will show that the
independent voter has the strength to com­mand
a powerful voice in student elections.
It may well be true that there are very few
independent candidates in the forthcoming
elections. However, a strong independent
vote in this election will force the political
parties to become increasingly aware of
the independent student's interests. Need­less
to say, a large independent turnout is
the step toward getting more independent
candidates for office. Any political party
is going to support candidates who repre­sent
the voting element of a community.
While the Plainsman does not recom­mend
specific candidates to the student
body because of its position as the sole
campus newspaper, we do recommend to
the students those candidates who present
positive plans and projects for your consid­eration.
Worn out ambiguities and childish
stunts do not merit consideration by col­lege

A WELCOME RENOVATION
Plans are now nearing completion for
the renewed Village Fair—Auburn's Edu­cational
Open House. We join with most
in welcoming this program back to the
loveliest village. We welcome it not be­cause
of what it was in the past few years,
but for what it promises to be in the future.
Many hours have been spent in meetings
since last summer when the president's stu­dent-
faculty committee undertook the
problem of deciding the fate of Village
Fair. Literally dozens of suggestions have
been made for ways that the "open house"
might achieve more success.
It was a general concensus of opinion
that an all-out renovation was necessary if
Village Fair was to be revived from its one
year death. This committee hastily com­menced
work toward the goal of having a
day that would show Alabama's high school
juniors and seniors the real Auburn—aca­demic,
cultural, and social. All phases of
the institution had to be given their pro­per
perspective in order for Village Fair
to accomplish its purpose^that of inform;
ing the prospective student of the educa­tional
opportunity of this university.
This committee has not failed. Rather,
they have, from all reports, emerged from
the conference table quite victorious. They
have laid the groundwork for an event that
will be the best Village Fair ever from the
standpoint of accomplishment of a set
goal. A goal, itself, is more than some past
extraxaganzas have had.
One should pay special attention to the
entire name of this year's "fair." Note the
words "educational open house." This is
almost an entirely new approach from the
past few years. Admittedly, the old Village
Fair has, from the time it was begun, sup­posedly
played up the academic aspect of
the institution. However, this was not al­ways
the case. Finally, the alcohol and
party aspect was the sole drawing card.
Auburn has much to show the serious-minded
student which can be presented in
such a way as to be interesting rather than
boring for the observers.
Entertainment has not been neglected in
all the fervor to prove the university's edu­cational
capabilities. We are not allowed
to mention all of the entertainers at this
time because this has not been officially
released for publication. However, we can
assure that the bill of stars lined up for
this program is the biggest and quite pos­sibly
the best show to be on this campus
in five years. The Lettermen, a folk-sing­ing
quartet of extraordinary talent, are on­ly
a small part of the entire program.
Now that you are convinced that this
year's Village Fair is going to serve a use­ful
purpose to the university, we will ask
your assistance in recruiting interested
high school juniors and seniors for the
visit. The committee wants to be sure that
each qualified person in the state has a
chance to view Auburn before deciding on
an institution to further his, or her, educa­tion.
Although tons of mail have been sent
from the office of high school relations,
someone might have been missed. It falls
your lot as a cross-section representation
of the state to see that no interested person
goes ignorant of the fact that Auburn is
having an open house.
BOOK DONATIONS
The new library needs books. This is
well-established fact. It's been said often
enough, but we wonder how many persons
have actually stopped to think about what
they could do to help the cause. How many
groups have even vaguely considered what
their role might be in providing these
much-needed supplies? Not many, we
would imagine. At least two organizations
have not only thought about the situation,
they have moved in the direction of defi­nite
actions.
The Panhellenic Council has presented
the library with $1,000 for the purpose of
purchasing books.
The men of Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity
have launched an all-out drive to collect
books. Their plan is to have Auburn's 40,-
000 alumni go through their individual
holdings and send any unwanted books to
the fraternity house. This plan is the sole
work of the Delta Sigs and their faculty ad­visor,
Dr. Frank Powell.
These two groups are to be congratu­lated
for their outstanding work in the bet­terment
of an Auburn institution.
We would hope that other organizations
will follow the leadership of Panhellenic
and Delta Sigma Phi in aiding the library in
acquisition of more volumes.
This is just one more way of proving to
the public that Greek organizations are
not completely irresponsible and undeserv­ing
of a place in the university community.
SPRING FEVER
The Rebirth Of Spring...
Springtime Provides New Opportunity
For Self-Appraisal But Still Enjoyment
For most of us, entrance into
college was1 both an exciting and
a terrifying experience. We came
to school, our eyes opened wide
to absorb every detail of our new
and strange surroundings. During
the blur of the first few days
many college officials tried to re­late
what lay ahead for us, the
new students. So, full of fervent
resolutions, we began the serious
work of our college career.
Some started off well and have
continued successfully. But some
soon found their schoolwork slip­ping
to new, unplumbed depths.
Perhaps, some conscientious
counselor tried to determine the
causes of failure and attempted
to help correct the shortcomings.
For a lucky few this help proved
to be -the turning point of college
work, but for most it marked
only the first of several stumbles
after this well-intentioned advice
turned out to be futile. We con­tinued
to slip and slide up to the
present time, some for only two
quarters and others for many
more. Never realizing the impor­tance
of our work here, we kept
on saying, "Next quarter I'll start
really working." Many know this
aimless wandering is nonsensical;
•someone is paying to send us to
college to get an education! The
sooner everyone appreciates this
fact the better.
Unfortunately, some students
rebel at the self-discipline re­quired
to pursue intelligently
their respective fields of study.
At this first chance for independ­ence,
they tend to resent any
authority; they become discour­aged
and throw off all respon­sibility.
Few realize the danger
of their decision.
The result? Recent studies of
student "mortality" for the entire
United States reveal that the ra­tio
of college graduates to fresh­man
enrollments was 44.3 to 100.
In other words, considerably less
than half of those who enter col­lege
remain to complete their
course—a disturbing fact, need­less
to say.
The first concrete example of
this drop-out may come all too
soon. Some students received a
violent jolt at the end of their
first year when they were sus­pended.
Others have not reached
the "spring reckoning." Still
others have floated about, while
falling far below their real po­tential
but still managing to stay
in school. Faint-hearted have
switched to other curricula to
avoid starting work. All of these
can be equally detrimental to
education.
Traditionally, spring is a time
of rebirth. Why not make fresh
resolves and stick to them this
time! '
Yet springtime presents the in­evitable
danger of sloth. Invari­ably,
we are tempted to cast aside
school work for an enjoyable day
at the lake made possible by cut­ting
a day's classes or ignoring
pressing homework o v e r the
weekend. For most, falling into
this habit of laziness is too easy.
Beware of the .deadly trap! Do
your homework, then erioy your­self
as much as you want.
Realization of college's true
purposes requires another exam­ination
beyond that of the time
spent with social life. Is the mul­titude
of extra-curricular activi-
By John Dixon
ties proving to be an unneces­sarily
large drain on the total
time available for schoolwork?
Think it over, decide which are
the most worthwhile activities,
do these with the best of your
abilities, and discard the rest.
Then see if your schoolwork
doesn't improve.
If individual efforts seem to be
falling short of our expected
goals, then we must realize that
all conscientious teachers can
provide assistance. Also the Uni­versity
employs skilled counsel­ors
at the Student Guidance Ser­vice
who enthusiastically and
sincerely desire to help, if only
students take advantage of this
opportunity.
Now is the time, if never be­fore,
to take a fresh appraisal of
ourselves. We are intimately fa­miliar
with life at Auburn, so we
can start on a new bent. We can
enjoy ourselves, but we can never
lose sight of the actual purposes
of college—education and matur­ation.
Happy springtime!
Letter To The Editor . . .
Reader Comments On Fraternity Rules;
Wants Only Administrative Guidance
Editor, The Plainsman,
In recent months there has
been a concerted effort by cer­tain
members of the administra­tion
to assume a semblance of
control over Auburn's fraternity
system. This effort has taken the
form of edicts, rules and Other
actions which can only be de­scribed
as "power grabs."
The first noticeable incident
occurred on January 21 when the
fraternities were given a set of
rules and told that they must
govern certain of their actions
accordingly. These rules repre­sent
some of the most unjust vio­lations
of the rights of private
organizations I have seen. By
them, the Committee on Fraterni­ties
is given the right to demand
that a fraternity submit, to the
Committee, a complete and up-to-
date record of its financial
condition. Also a fraternity may
not purchase or otherwise pro­vide
alcoholic beverages at any
function at any time. These two
edicts cannot possibly be justi­fied
by any civilized line of rea­soning.
The financial status of a
fraternity can be of no possible
concern to anybody but the mem­bers
of the fraternity. The mem­bers
pay a housebill, the amount
of which is decided upon by vote,
for which they receive room,
board and other benefits which
are also voted upon by the
members. The administration
could have no possible reason for
knowing how much a fraternity
takes in or how the money is
spent. This includes the question
of alcoholic beverages which,
again, reverts to the idea that
the administration seems to feel
that they can tell the fraterni­ties
how they can or cannot spend
their money. The funds of a frat­ernity
represent the combined
funds of a number of private in­dividuals
and how these funds
are disbursed is a matter to be
decided only by the members
themselves." Whatever the mem­bers
decide to purchase, wheth­er
it be with their money as rep­resented
by their personal funds
or with their money as repre­sented
by fraternity funds, it is
of no possible concern to anyone
else.
About a month ago, another
little directive emanated from the
inner sanctums of Samford Hall.
This one, also concerned with,
finances, requested the submis­sion
of certain information per­taining
to dues, employees sal­aries,
rent, board, etc. This action
constitutes a very definite in­vasion
of privacy. Much of the
information can be gotten very
easily from the Greeks, but the
matter of employee salaries is a
matter* of person contract be­tween
the fraternity and its em­ployees.
These salaries are not
secret,, as the fraternity leaders
are continually having quiet,
friendly discussions on this, as
well as other matters, in order
that their employees' salaries will
be fair and reasonable for all
parties concerned. What is in­comprehensible
is the fact that
certain administration officials
feel that they the right to re­quest
such information from the
fraternities. The right to do so
has been assumed, and the frat­ernities
did receive the little form
to be filled out and returned. My
fraternity did not, and probably
will not, submit to requests or
demands of this type.
The latest in the current series
of harrassments came this week.
The fraternities were told to sub­mit
a list of pledges they wished
to initiate to the office of the As­sistant
Dean of Men for his ap­proval.
This is, by far, the most
flagrant, outrageous and irres­ponsible
violation of the rights of
a private organization that I have
ever heard of. It is inconceivable
that the Auburn administration,
with its long record of good rela­tions
with Auburn's Greeks,
would allow such a travesty on
the rights of men to occur. A
fraternit}', or any other organiza­tion,
is based on the right to
choose its own members. This is,
in turn, based on the right to
choose one's own associates—the
freedom of association. Nobody
has any conceivable civilized
right to assume the power to tell
a fraternity whom it can or can­not
initiate. For any administra­tion
official to take this power
is beyond the grasp of human
reasoning and logic and can only
result in such officials being
branded as antagonists of Au­burn's
fraternities.
Auburn's fraternity men have
worked long and hard to make
their organizations what they are
today — institutions that support
and represent Auburn; institu­tions
that supply the vast ma­jority
of students participating in
Auburn's extra-curricular affairs.
Auburn's fraternity men have
shown that they are willing to
work hard for the betterment of
Spring Elections Require New Attention
If Qualified Officers Are To Be Elected
By Bert Hitchcock
Student Body President
The subject is perennial, but
then so is the problem. The cam­pus
elections for the Auburn Stu­dent
Body are slated for Thurs­day,
April 11; please take the
time to cast your vote.
Spring elections are an impor­tant
determining factor in every
aspect of this university for the
year and indeed the years that
follow. C a r e f u l consideration
needs to be given to the students
who will fill the positions of
Student Body officers; Fifth Year,
Senior, Junior, and Sophomore
Senators; publications' posts; and,
of course, Miss Auburn.
Each student is to vote in the
school or college in which he is
enrolled. Polls will be open from
8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Thursday,
April 11, in each of the nine re­spective
buildings. The voting, as
usual, will be done on the IBM
cards, and votes will be counted
completely by machine. It is es­sential
in this process that you
use the special pencils which will
be. provided for the purpose of
marking ballots. Please take your
time in marking these ballots;
vote for the correct number of
people in each race or on each
card, and make your marks neat­ly.
Such instructions sound vary
childish and needless, but every­thing
will be greatly facilitated
if just a little extra care is taken
when each of us goes to the polls.
In Article IX, Section 4, of the
Student Body Constitution, pro­vision
is made for the Student
Body Board of Election Qualifi­cations.
Each candidate for. a
campus position is supposed to
be interviewed and approved by
this Board. The procedure had
not been carried out for some
time but was reinstated very
commendably this year by Supt.
of Political Affairs Brian Mit-chel.
Each person who has ap­peared
before this Board either
of the two times can, I am confi­dent,
attest to its value and sig­nificance.
This year's officers have long
shared the concern of many other
students about campus elections,
their candidates and campaigns.
All too often, students tend to
run blindly into a Student Body
election. They do not know any­thing
about their potential job;
they have not thought about their
responsibilities or of special pro­grams
of action which they can
initiate or carry out. They have
not been aware or observant, and
they have reflected upon little.
The E l e c t i o n s Qualifications
Board has sought to alleviate this
situation It has put each of this
spring's candidates under pres­sure
to do some thinking for him­self,
to have some knowledge of
the position which he is seeking,
to set his mind upon specific pro­jects
or programs which will be
of benefit to the student body.
Interview periods have been long,
but we hope that they have been
fruitful.
Ask these candidates questions.
Find out what they're going to do
for you. Discover why they are
running. Make them think. And
then cast your vote for those who
you feel are the most capable and
qualified persons. It is you who
will profit in the end.
As Future Leaders
What Has Happened To Individualism
In Anonymous Authority Of Conformity?
By George Gardner
The trend toward mass confor­mity
is perhaps the most widely
discussed phenomenon of our
era. Its gradual acceptance (as
the status quo) on the Auburn
campus in recent years is apal-ling.
Conformity is evidenced
everywhere in our dress, social'
actions, thinking, general beha'v-lor
and reactions.
Conformity need not and should
not be as evident as it is at Au­burn.
Our college days should be
the years that mold each of us in­to
an individual. It is during these
years that we should decide how
we will spend our relatively high­er
income, how we will raise our
children, what sort of morality
and values we will adopt, and
what sort of people we will be. If
we constantly accept the decisions
that others have made instead of
using our God-given free will
and intelligence, we will soon fall
into the placidity and mediocrity
that identifies the mass of con­formists.
The complex modern society we
will face upon our graduation
from Auburn abounds with pres­sures
which force conformity.
These pressures are inherent in
our economic, social, and politi­cal
system, among others. In a
world in the grips of mass mater­ialism
and functionalism, the new
generation of conformists are
swept before it like sheep being
led by the Judas goat. These peo­ple,
who were college students on­ly
yesterday, did not develop the
convictions necessary to make
sober, unbiased decisions as they
attempt to cope with the problems
in our contemporary society.|
The masses of the new genera­tion
are, through their die-hard
conformity, swayed when they
vote, misled when they make
buying decisions and forced into
relationships with people with
whom they really do not wish to
associate. These people are swept
along by the wave of conformity,
whether they are conscious of it
or not. And not is the most often
the case. As evidence, I offer the
case of psychology as it is used
in advertising: we are urged to
buy the cigarette with the "think­ing
man's filter." Eureka, we
think . . . here is the brand the
individual who thinks for him­self
will purchase! So we buy, un­conscious
of the fact that we have
unknowing lowered ourselves in­to
the depths of conformity. Vance
Packard's "Hidden Pursuaders"
offers frightening testimony of
Auburn as well as their frater­nities.
We have not spent count­less
hours, not to mention money,
in building our fraternities so
that a voice from Samford Hall
can tell us how to run them. If
the Administration really wants
to help fraternities, they should
re-adopt the position of guiding
advisors rather than benevolent
dictators.
James P. Lynch III
this reality. Thus, this conformity
becomes an anonymous authority
that controls our very lives.
Extreme conformity, with its
characteristics of compromise,
placid acceptance and apathy
through material well-being wea-j
kens the moral resistance of a na­tion,
making it prey, to a whole
range of "isms" — among them,
communism. The world-wide
communist movement thrives up­on
the masses that are robed in
conformity, equality, and unity of
thought . . .
Perhaps the greatest single
force perpetuating mass conform­ity
on this campus is our Greek
letter system of social fraterni­ties
and sororities. The practice
of dressing and acting alike has
become so evident that we can
now stereotype students from a
half-block distance by simply not­ing
his clothes or the way he wezu-s,
his hair. Inside our chapter meet­ing
one is encouraged to "be in­dividual,
as long as you think, be­have
and dress like the rest of
us." We are "strongly encour­aged"
to vote for a certain candi­date,
not because we believe in
his principles, but because "it will
be best for the chapter." Since
expediency is the sine qua non
of campus politics, how can we
wonder at the cynicism rampart
in our national politics?
When the fraternities and soro­rities
function as powerfully as
they do in campus life at Auburn,
they become a formidable im­pediment
to the proper function
of a real university. We all cry
for culture yet we do little or
nothing to encourage creativeness
and individual expression; rather,
we find an individual who misses
a fraternity chapter meeting in
order to attend a concert that
happens to coincide. In many
cases we laugh at the enthusiasm
a student has developed for art,
music, or literary interests. Yet it
is in these areas that we find
many of the real individuals on
this campus. These are the stu­dents
who really think for them­selves.
They listen to Beethoven's
9th or read the Iliad because they
really like it.
By all of this I do not mean to
imply that conformity on every
level is evil. To the contrary, a
certain amount of conformity is a
dire necessity in organized so­ciety.
Neither do I advocate extrem­ism
or revolutionism, for this
leads to an even worse kind of
conformity—to wit, Nazi Ger­many
or late 17th century Mas­sachusetts.
The basic qualities of
individualism are buried in each
of us. This, then, is an exhorta­tion
for a rebirth of individualism
in the fullest sense of this term
that I used so loosely.
Let us not be easily led—let us
think for ourselves; it is not sim­ply
a right . . . it is a moral ob- >
ligation!
Regulations For Casting Ballots Cited
For Student Body Elections Next Week
Students will go to the polls Thursday in what is hoped
to be a record turnout for student government elections. If
recent elections are any indication, there will be several
students at least who will have wasted the effort because of
voting incorrectly. For purposes of clarification, The Plains­man
here presents voting' regu
lations as released by the Supt.
of Political Affairs.
Students are reminded that
ballots are counted by machines.
THE MACHINE WILL NOT
COUNT ANY BALLOT MARK­ED
INCORRECTLY IN ANY
WAY. Voting regulations must be
followed to the letter.
Each student will be present­ed
two ballots at the poll. (All
students must present I.D. cards
at the polling place in their re­spective
schools of study—such as
Education, Science and Litera­ture.)
One ballot will contain
names of student body, publica­tions,
and Miss Auburn candi­dates.
Students will vote for one
candidate for each position. Stu­dents
must vote for a candidate
for each position if their ballots
are to be counted.
The second ballot issued to
students will consist of candi­dates
for senatorial positions.

AMONG MY KINFOLK
My favorite cousin, Mandolin Glebe, a sweet, unspoiled country
boy, has just started college. Today I got a letter from him
which I will reprint here because I know Mandolin's problems
are so much like your own. Mandolin writes:
, Dear Mandolin (he thinks my name is.Mandolin too),
I see by the college paper that you are writing a column for
Marlboro Cigarettes. I think Marlfroros .are.jim-dandy cig­arettes
with real nice tobacco and a'gmger-peachy'filter, a nd
I want to tell you why I don*t; smoke them.
It all started the very first day I arrived at college. I was
walking across the campus, swinging my paper valise and sing­ing
traditional airs like Blue Tail Fly and Death and Trans­figuration,
when all of a sudden I ran into this here collegiate-looking
fellow with a monogram on his breast pocket. He asked
me was I a freshman. I said yes. He asked me did I want to
be a BMOC and the envy of all the in crowd. I said yes. He
said the only way to make these keen things happen was to join
a fraternity. Fortunately he happened to have a pledge card
with him, so he pricked my thumb and I signed. He didn't tell
me the name of the fraternity or where it is located, but I sup­pose
I'll find out when I go active.
€Aemiedm to<2 W WfttftfdUiM
Meanwhile this fellow comes around every week to collect
the dues, which are $100, plus a $10 fine for missing the weekly
meeting, plus a $5 assessment to buy a headstone for Spot, the
late, beloved beagle who was the fraternity mascot.
I have never regretted joining the fraternity, because it is
my dearest wish to be a BMOC and the envy of all the in
crowd, but you can see that it is not cheap. It wouldn't be so
bad if I slept at the frat house, but you must agree that I can't
sleep at the house if I don't know where the house is.
I have rented a room which is not only grotesquely expen­sive,
but it is not at all the kind of room I was looking for. I
wanted someplace reasonably priced, clean, comfortable, and
within easy walking distance of classes, the shopping district,
and San Francisco and New York. What I found was a bedroom
in the home of a local costermonger which is dingy, expensive,
and uncomfortable—and I don't even get to use the bed till
7 a.m. when my landlord goes out to mong his costers.
Well anyhow, I got settled and the next thing I did, naturally,
was to look for a girl. And I found her. Harriet, her name is, a
beautiful creature standing just under seven feet high and weigh­ing
385 pounds. I first spied her leaning against the statue of
the Founder, dozing lightly. I talked to her for several hours
without effect. Only when I mentioned dinner did she stir. Her
milky little eyes opened, she raised a brawny arm, seized my
nape, and carried me to a chic French restaurant called Le
Clipjoint where she consumed, according to my calculations,
her own weight in Chateaubriand.
After dinner she lapsed into a torpor from which I could not
•rouse her, no matter how I tried. I banged my glass with a
fork, I pinched her great pendulous jowls, I rubbed the legs of
my corduroy pants together. But nothing worked, and finally
I slang her over my shoulder and carried her to the girls dorm,
slipping several discs in the process.
Fortunately, medical care for students is provided free at the
college infirmary. All I had to pay for were a few extras, like
X-rays, anaesthesia, forceps, hemostats, scalpels, catgut, linen,
towels, amortization, and nurses. They would not, however,
let me keep the nurses.
So, dear cousin, it is lack of funds, not lack of enthusiasm,
that is keeping me from Marlboro Cigarettes—dear, good
Marlboros with their fine blend of choice tobaccos and their
pure white Selectrate filter and their soft pack and their flip
top box.
Well, I must close now. My pencil is wore out and I can't
afford another. Keep 'em flying.

Blood Drive Slated
For April 23, 9-4
By BOB REED
News Editor
The Auburn University Blood Drive will be held on April
23, 1963, according to Bill Mayrose, Superintendent of Cam­pus.
Drives.
The Blood Drive will be held in the Union Ballroom be­tween
the hours of 9 and 12 a.m. and 1 and 4 p.m. The drive,
is held in cooperation with the
American Red Cross. This year's
proposed goal is 500 pints.
Dean's excuses will be given to
all students giving blood for the
class hour during their donation
of blood and the hour immed­iately
following. This excuse in­cludes
ROTC and physical edu­cation
classes.
A trophy will be awarded to
the fraternity, the sorority, and
the division of Magnolia Dormi­tories
contributing t h e most
blood. Members of Circle K, Al­pha
Phi Omega, and the Lee
County Blood Chapter will be on
hand to assist the Red Cross per­sonnel.
Giving blood is a painless pro­cedure
.which takes about 30
minutes. For donating a pint of
blood, the donor receives a cer­tificate,
good for eight months,
entitling him and his immediate
family to free blood when neces­sary.
All students under 21 years of
age must have permission from
their parents to give blood. Per­mission
forms will be available to
students, at various places on
campus, including the Union Desk
and the Student Affairs Office.

Milton Williams .' . .
'Bout Tha t Name . . .
After preparing for the writing of this column in the us­ual
Monday night manner, we ponder the name Tiger Tracks
. . . having pondered many things of equal value (some say)
in the past.
Tracks are of course made by a yellow animal wearing
black stripes . . . or a black animal wearing yellow stripes as you
prefer. Tigers are also Sharkes (says pretty Peggy) and there may
even be a production of "Tiger Rag" given by the Auburn Dance
Corps (James C. Petrillo, president), with funds mis-appropriated
from the student activity funds.
Still First In SEC . . .
The Tigers are still two games out in front in the SEC race. It
could be a vital two-game series we face with Florida, who beat Tech
and are 4-2 in the SEC. Tigers started good—all the Tigers this year
have, with poor results. The Big Blue Nine has a chance to do what
no other athletic group from the Plains could do, and that is to have
a winning season.
Roberta Allison, University of Alabama, cleaned up Auburn last
week when she played No. 3 in the tennis match held here. Earlier
in the season Auburn's honchos stated that all matches would be
given Miss Allison by default. It seems that a rumor was circulated
that she was really Lucile Sweeney in disguise and had been imported
by Bama in a recent collusion with the University of Georgia. (Geor-
'gia had traded last year's football plays and a schematic diagram of
the girl's dorm.)
Out For Track . . .
Jon Blackwell and three other basketball players have entered
the ranks of the Auburn track team. Blackwell, who made an out­standing
showing on the hardwood this past season, is slated to do
an equally sufficient job on the cinders. The only trouble right now
seems to be the placement of Blackwell . . . he has been tried at
various events, all with equal success.
Wishing to be able to deal in specifics, but not being able to, we
will only state that a northern university will present an Alabama
University with the fact that the latter broke conference rules in
rushing or recruiting football players in this year's attempt.
Under the heading WRA News, you will note that a water ballet
is to be given . . . no details here because you can read it yourself.

Bama Drops Tigers
In First SEC Match
By RICHARD WALDEN
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Crimson Tide trounced the
Auburn Tigers by a score of 8-1.
The victory was Alabama's fourth
win against no defeats. Alabama,
a top SEC contender, displayed a
tremendous, amount of power and
depth and probably has the best
1-2-3-4 man combination in the
conference.
In singles Jamie Musalim
crushed Richard Payne, Auburn's
No. 1, by a score of 6-0, 6-0. Ala­bama's
Eddie Terrell defeated
Jack Finney 6-0, 6-4 and George
O'Cohnell downed Ronnie Buch­anan
of Auburn 6-0, 6-1. Ala­bama's
prettiest competitor, Ro­berta
Allison outlasted Bubba
Hughes in a match of unusually
long points by a margin of 6-2,
6-1.
Tiger hopes were brightened
considerably, however, when
Warren Jones out-maneuvered
Bama's Fred Feinburg in a two-hour
marathon. The score was 9-
7, 4-6, 6-4.
At the number six position
Frank Parsons routed Auburn's
Bowie Hamilton 6-0, 6-1. Ala­bama
had clinched the victory at
this point with a 5-1 lead.
In doubles Alabama swept
through the Tigers without the
loss of a set and wrapped up the
win with three additional points.
The clash with Alabama opened
the season for the Tiger squad
which is composed of five sopho­mores
and one junior. Ronnie
Buchanan is the lone returning
letterman.
Auburn takes on Florida in
their second outing of the season.
The Gators are swift and steady
and are figured to be a strong
SEC contender this year. Despite
the loss of Jim' Shaffer, last year's
conference champion, Florida is
expected to have a great deal of
depth. Earlier this year the Ga­tors
defeated Georgia, last year's
SEC runner-up and this ye'ar's
top choice, on two occasions.

"The Man with the Tape"
Unbeaten In SEC, Tigers
Will Visit Florida Gators
By TOMMY LINDSEY
Plainsman Sports Writer
Coach Paul Nix's Tiger baseball t e am will spend this week
p r e p a r i n g for t h e i r invasion of t h e University of Florida. The
Plainsmen will play two games with t h e Florida Gators this
weekend in what could t u r n out to be t h e series t h a t decides
t h e SEC champions.
Florida, last year's Southeast­ern
Conference champs, are 4-2
in SEC play thus far this season.
Last weekend they split a series
with Georgia and began to show
signs of returning to form.
The Gators combine the fine
pitching of J im Biggert and Dan­ny
Eggart with could be the fast­est
college baseball team in the
nation. Last year they set a new
collegiate record for stealing
bases, and show no signs of let­ting
up this year.
The probable starting pitcher
to be Auburn's finest major
league prospect in many years, is
2-1 this year. Thus far he has
victories over Georgia and Geor­gia
Tech having lost Florida State
at the beginning of the season.
In compiling a 4-0 conference
record Auburn has displayed the
tightest defense in the SEC.
The infield, which is composed
of Dempsey, Martin, Bibb and
Fowler, has been called by th(
Atlanta Constitution "The most
valuable infield in the SEC."
For hitting power the Tigers
depend on Jim Baohus, Larry
Fowler, Dink Haire, Wayne Fow-ler,
Vic Svetlay, and Mailon
Kent to hit the long ball.
Though they still have the ma.
jor part of their schedule left to
play, this series with Florida
could be the most important part
of the season for Auburn. If they
win they will have a tight hold
on the number one position.
They will be playing a top
notch team, and they must come
through with victories if they are
to win the coveted crown.
Linksters Post Win
Over Florida State
tss&s,
By TOMMY LINDSEY
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn's golf team opened a
heavy week of play by playing
host to the Seminoles of Florida
State. In the match play the Tig­ers
rode the smooth play of sen­iors
Morris Slingluff and Paul
Burkholder to a well deserv.ed
victory.
The victory was number three
for the link men against two de­feats.
It signaled the return to
form of many of the Tiger golf
men. Also the victory gave warn­ing
to the rest of the conference
that Auburn will once again be a
strong contender.
Thursday Auburn takes on Ala­bama
in the first of two matches
this year. Last year the linksters
split even in two matches with
the Bama men. After their match
with Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Au­burn
will invade the University
of Georgia next Monday, and then
move to Atlanta to take on the
Yellowjackets of Georgia Tech.
This weeks play will be very
curtailed for the Tiger.|','feam.
Three wins would determine a
very good season for the linkmen.

Game time is 2:00 P.M. (CST).
Playing against the Jackets in
Atlanta last weekend, the Plains­men
emerged victorious in both
games that were contested by
scores of 11-3 and 5-3 respective­ly.
Tech relies on sophomore fire-baller
Ron Scharf, who sported a
1.86 earned run average prior to
last Friday's game against the Ti­gers,
where he held the Plains­men
scoreless for four innings be­fore
succumbing to the booming
Tiger bats for five runs in the
fifth and sixth innings. Another
fine Tech hurler is Frank Hall,
who held the Tigers to two earned
in the eight innings that he pitch­ed
Saturday. It was Hall's first
start of the season and he is being
counted upon to see action again.
Leading hitter for the Jackets
has been catcher Richard Conliff,
who homered Saturday in a los­ing
cause. Other standouts are
shortstop Billy Williamson, and
left-fielder Jimmy Adams.
A large crowd is expected for
the midweek series and it will
mark the first appearance for the
Tigers at home in two weeks.

across seven runs on four hits,
three walks and a Tech error. Joe
Overton went the route for Au­burn,
holding the Jackets to five
hits and striking out eleven. Lar­ry
Dempsey and Otis Bibb led the
Tiger attack with two hits each;
Dempsey also had three RBI's.
Jimmy Adams and E. M. An­thony

Saturday afternoon the Tigers
handed Tech their fourth straight

Pitcher George Nichols w e nt

led Auburn's batting, with a ho­mer,

C'mderman Ken Winter,
Outstanding Senior
By GEORGE GARDNER
Assistant Sports Editor
A track team is composed of
numerous individuals who per­form
as a team. Each of these in­dividuals
must be highly skilled
in his particuar field for the ben­efit
of the team. Auburn's track
team, surely a championship
contender this spring, is compos­ed
of many individuals;, among
them is Kenneth Winter.
Ken, as he is known to his
friends, is a senior in the School
of Science and Literature. He has
been an outstanding member of ||
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's team for |
four years. This season Ken will
run as the anohor man on the
sprint medley and jump the high
and intermediate hurdles. Thus
far he has been hampered by
minor injuries, but >he expects to
be in his top form soon.
Winter first won- fame on the
Auburn campus when he was but
a sophomore. That year, 1961, the
Tiger cindermen won the SEC
championship. Although Ken has
never run the quarter-mile be­fore,
he finished second in the
SEC meet to provide the points
that gave Auburn the champion­ship,
finishing ahead of LSU by
one point.
When Winter originally came
to the Plains on a football scho­larship
he was listed as a quar­terback.
After switching him to
the halfback post, the coaches
noted his great speed and en
couraged him to try out for the
track team. This move has de­finitely
been the good fortune
of Auburn.
Upon graduation from Auburn
this spring, Winter plains to serve
.in the Air Force for several years.
He is Deputy Wing Commander
of the Air Force ROTC Unit here
at the University.
and 0-4 in conference play.
In other action last week, the
Tigers dropped their fourth
straight game to FSU by a 7-9
count. Florida State rallied for
three runs in the fifth and added
four more in the sixth inning to
overcome a five run deficit.
Allen Thomas came on in the
fourth and got credit for the FSU
victory after the Plainsmen chas­ed
starter Marty Howell from the
mound with a six-run barrage in
the fourth inning. Thomas^yielded
but three hits and one run as he
pitched the remaining innings.
Wayne Fowler, who was two
.^pr, four,, and Gay den White, who
drove in three runs with a homer,
led'the Tiger hitting which fell
short.
Overton started on the mound,
but Nichols came on in relief and
was credited with the loss.
The week's action left Auburn
at 4-4 overall and 4-0 in the im­portant
SEC standings.

PERFORMANCE PICTURE IN AMERICA
GARY GOULD-Skii
fc)li)c;i ii. J. Bcynoltls Tobacco Company, WUuton-Sakiu. N. C.
In 36 days, starting with the Monte Carlo Rallye
in January of this year, our products have posted a
series of competition wins that have made perform­ance
history. Here's what has happened:
Three V-8 Falcon Sprints were entered in the
Monte Carlo Rallye. This is not a race. It is a trial
of a car's total capabilities. We did it (nervously) for
the experience and with practically no sense of expec­tation,
because we had not entered an event like this
before. One Sprint ended the experiment in a snow­bank.
But the others finished 1-2 in their class with
such authority that they moved the good, grey Lon- .
don Times to say: "The Falcons are part of a power
and performance plan that will shake up motoring in
every country in the world." That was Number One.
Number Two was a double win in the Pure Oil
Performance Trials. Fords captured Class 1 and Class
2 (for high performance and large V-8's). Both of
these trials were for over-all points rolled up in
economy, acceleration and braking tests.
Then, at Riverside in California, in America's only
long-distance stock car event that is run on a road
course (as opposed to closed circuit, banked tracks
such as the track at Daytona), Dan Gurney pushed
a Ford to first place.
The latest news comes north from Daytona. There
in the open test that tears cars apart—the Daytona
500—Ford durability conquered the field. Fords
swept the first 5 places . . . something no one else had
equaled in the history of the event. In a competition
—which anyone can enter—designed to prove how
well a car hangs together, 9 Fords finished out of 12
entered . . . a truly remarkable record considering
that over 50% of all cars entered failed to finish.
Why do we keep such an interested eye on compe­titions
such as these? Is speed important to us?
Frankly, no. The speed capabilities of the leading
American cars are now grouped so closely together
that the differences have no real meaning. To us, who
are building cars, success in this kind of competition
means just one thing: the car is strong. This kind of
performance capability means that the car is so well
built that it can stand up to normal driving—the
kind of day-in, day-out demands you put your own
car through—for thousands of miles longer than less
capable cars.
In tests like the Daytona 500 and Riverside, we
find out in an afternoon what might take us 100,000
test-track miles to discover. We learn how to build
superior strength into suspension systems, steering
systems, drive train, body, tires. Anyone can build
a fast car. What we're interested in is the concept of
"total" performance.
We believe in this kind of total performance
because the search for performance made the automo­bile
the wonderfully efficient and pleasurable instru­ment
it is today—and will make it better tomorrow.

Spring Football Practice
Marked By Scrimmages
By BOB SNYDER
Plainsman Sports Writer
Football is in the air again as Auburn's first week of
spring practice ended Saturday with a short but vigorous
scrimmage in preparation for the annual "A" Day game
April 27.
Head Coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan will be back at the old
game of the two-team system
this year. The second team wil]
be more or less equal to the first
was one of Jordan's predictions.

second teams met in 83 degree
weather in Cliff Hare Stadium.
The scrimmage was somewhat
successful with a flurry of fine
runs and good defensive plays.
However, the pass receiving was
a little under par.
As t h e scrimmage started
everyone seemed concerned over
the loss of the four starters last
year at the tackle positions. But
this concern became somewhat
relinquished as Chuck Hurston at
left tackle and Bobby Rogers at
right tackle seemed determined
to keep these slots filled with
their fine performance.
The sophomores c a m e out
strong showing that they intend­ed
to play ball next fall. Those
who stood out were Gerald Gross,
Bill Cody, Tommy Lewis, Russell
Cheatham, John Cochran, and
Jimmy Little.
A few important changes have
been made thus far in the lineups
—Jerry Negrotto has been moved
from center to guard. Billy Edge
who played mostly on the defen­sive
unit last year, may see more
service on, the offense this year.
David Rawson has been moved
from fullback to right half.
George Rose, regular offensive I
halfback last year, may be used
chiefly as a defensive back next
fall.
One of the really bright spots
of the scrimmage came in the
form of David Rawson. David
made the first touchdown with a
10 yard run of left tackle.
Larry Rawson proved that he
still had the running and block­ing
equipment that he displayed
as a sophomore.
Jimmy Sidle showed his run­ning
ability along w i t h his
smooth passing.
Sophomore John Cochran ran
like an experienced fullback.
Playing second team quarter­back,
Bill Cody passed for the
first touchdown for the second
unit. Bill was also one of the top
defensive players.
Tucker Frederickson, hard run­ning
back, turned in several long
BILL VAN DYKE
HOWARD SIMPSON
gaining runs. He also made many
key blocks. ,
Coach Atkins praised the work
of guard Bill Vian Dyke who,
along with Don Heller, appear to
be the leading candidates for the
first string guard slots.
The standouts on defense were
Billy Edge, Tucker Frederickson,
David Rawson, Larry Rawson
and Howard Simpson. However,
Bill Cody took the high honors
in all-around defense.
George Rose was excused from
practice because of a pulled ham­string
muscle, which is the key
muscle in the leg.
Halfback Mickey Sutton was
excused from the Saturday scrim­mage
so that he could compete
with the Auburn track team in
the Florida Relays.
