To Foster The Auburn Spirit

By CHARLES McCAY
HELP!
HELP!
Help!, Help!, the sky is falling!
Finals are approaching. Ah, but
this is thelast paper of the quarter.
(Thank goodness, you're
probably saying.) It is just as well
that this is the last paper. Perhaps
all our sins will be forgiven
while people bask in sun between
quarters. We have been wearing
asbestos gloves to the post office
lately. One interesting thing we
have noted is that few people will
sign their names to letters of an
uncomplimentary nature.
It will probably come as a big
surprise to most of our. readers,
but we are not bitter at the w^orld
or at any individual. We simply
aspire to-print, factual statements
that are of informative significance
to the general reader.. '.
Words in print cannot have the
same degree' of expression as
their spoken counterparts. Sometimes
their apparent harshness is
not intended. '
Reading letters from students is
surely a good lesson inhuman nature,
also. It certainly bears out
the old cliche about -pleasing
everybody all of the timje. It
cawn't be done! (That's for: Dick
Tracy fans.)
We read president Hitchcock's
column with amusing interest this
week. We can certainly appreciate
the crack-pot maU that is. sent to
unsuspecting groups -such, as stu«-
dent government "associations and
newspapers.
We present the.. R o w i n g , for
your entertainmeht:
"War against naked animals" is
the motto of SINA, the Society
for Indecency to Naked Animals.
A letter from one G. Clifford
Prout, the society's founder explains
in some detail the workings
of the dubious organization. President
Prout feels that the children
of America must be protected
from the sight of nude horses,
cows, dogs, and cats.
Prout has dedicated ten years
of his life to clothing the "vital
areas" of animals. "It's a matter
of decency," he explained. "Naked
animals are ruining the- moral
standards of America."
He claims he is being joined by
hoards of people every day and
sends notification that he will be
on this campus to organize a student
SINA chapter this month.
Let's hope it's between quarters!
We do not have space to delve
into this matter at length, but we
give our word—it's on the level.
This guy includes pictures, press
releases, etc. as advanced publicity
for his appearance on campus.
< .
C>h yes! They have a marching
song—written by G. Clifford
Prout, of course! '
Oh well, it takes all kinds . . .

By ANN RISHER
Plainsman News Writer
Auburn Panhellenic Organization was hostess to 272
guests for the ninth annual Southeastern Panhellenic Conference,
February 22, 23.
-Visitors included 21 national sorority officers, 29 deans
and advisors, 192 sorority delegates from 36 colleges from
the states of Alabama, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida,
Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, and Kentucky.
Miss Susan Deloney, Auburn,
Panhellenic advisor, said "the
whole thing was a success—the
committee chairmen worked together
so well." Praising Margaret
Moore, chairman of the
conference, Miss Deloney com
..mended her for an "excellent
Weaver Appointed
As EE Dept. Head
Dr. Charles H. Weaver has
been appointed head of the electrical
engineering department in
the School of Engineering at Auburn
University, effective following
the spring quarter.
He succeeds R. D. Spann who
has headed the department since
1951. Spann, nearing retirement,
will assume professional duties
in both instruction and research
at that time.
Dean Fred H. Pumphrey, in
making the announcement, said
Spann has requested a year in
which to be relieved of direct responsibility
for further development
of the department although
Dr. Weaver has requested his assistance
in continuing the program.
'
"The two will work as a team
during the coming year," said
Dean Pumphrey w h o offered
praise, for both members of the
staff.
"Professor Spann, during the
past five years, has recruited
several outstanding faculty mem.
bers and has built the research
activities of the department from
approximately $30,000 to more
than 10 times that amount annually."
Dr. Weaver, who holds the
bachelor's and master's degrees
in electrical engineering from
the University of Tennessee and
the Ph.D. from the University of
Wisconsin, joined the Auburn department
in 1959 as professor
under a Westinghouse grant. The
grant, for five years, will continue
during his first year as
head of the department.
The new department head
served as instructor at both the
University of Tennessee and University
of Wisconsin and has had
varied consulting and industrial
experience.
Concert Postponed
A piano concert by Dr. J. William
Tamblyn, professor of music,
was postponed from Monday night
because of the pianist's illness.
The program will be rescheduled
and the date announced later.

job." Margaret and her committee
began work for the conference
a year ago, immediately after
Auburn was chosen hostess
at the 1962 conference at Stetson
University.
The theme of the conference
was "Fraternity Life—an opportunity
to prepare for wide and
wise human service."
Friday afternoon members of
Alpha Phi Omega and the fraternities
took visitors on tours of
the campus.
Miss Katherine Warren, dean
of women at the University of
Florida, addressed the visitors
Friday night on the survival of
the fraternity system. The topic
of her speech was "Fraternities:
A Modern World Anachronism?"
"Our great democracy," Miss
Warren stated, "is being undermined
by the dry rot of irresponsibility.
Moral character is at
a low ebb. This is not a time for
frivolity or stupidity, but a time
for reasoning men and women
to bring their best powers to bear
upon the problems at hand to issue
a future in which man can
live with dignity and pride."
"Our traditional role as primarily
a social organization is
outmoded and will die unless we
direct our powers toward more
serious goals," she said. "In a
troubled world beset by dangers
which threaten the physical destruction
of all mankind there is
little place for an organization
which places emphasis on superficial
activities and permits its
members to live in a pace of
mediocrity."
After Miss Warren's address
open houses were held in the
sorority chapter rooms.
Saturday morning, delegates
attended discussion groups on
scholarship, good health, cooperation
with college ideals, social
standards, service, and rush programs.

MISS KATHERINE WARREN, keynote speak er for the ninth annual Southeastern Panhellenic
Conference, converses with Auburn Executive Vice President, Dr. Robert Anderson, and Margaret

The Conference was held at Auburn, Feb. 22- 23.
Florida Dean Of Women Speaks Out
For Responsibility In Fraternity System
By DIANE SNODDY
The Ninth annual Southeastern College Panhellenic Conference
was ertertained by the Panhellenic Council of Auburn
University on Feb. 22 and 23 ,1963. Representatives to
the conference included Greek women from colleges and
universities of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee,
Kentucky, and Louisiana.
Miss Margaret Moore was the
presiding officer of the conference.
It was her responsibility to
coordinate open houses, discussion
groups, general sessions, and
social functions. Other conference
officers were Helen Likis,
conference treasurer and Stella
Curry, conference secretary.
The Southeastern Panhellenic
Conference, whose overall purpose
is to further a cooperative
self-evaluation of all national
sororities, is a product of Auburn's
Panhellenic. T h e first
Southeastern Panhellenic . was
hosted by the Panhellenic Council
of Auburn in 1955 and was
voted, at that time, an annual
affair. Since then, the number, of
delegates, national sororities, and
of outstanding G r e e k women -be^ovcrlooked as one striving for
represented at these conventions
has increased tremendously.
Among the outstanding educators
at the 1963 Conference was
Miss Katherine Warren, keynote
speaker. Miss Warren was the
Assistant Dean of Students at
Florida State College and is now
the Dean of Women at the university.
She is a member of Mortar
Board, Alpha Lambda Delta,
and Delta Delta Delta.
The title of Miss Warren's
speech was Social Fraternity—A
Modern World Anachronism?"
and, as the title suggests, the
speech was an objective discussion
of the value of the frater-president;

Miller, h o u s e manager; and
Charles Henkey, grounds manager.
nity system to the modern world.
Miss Warren, in presenting the
history of fraternities, said that
the fraternity was first accepted
as a social group, which was
founded for the purpose of fostering
warm friendships in a university
atmosphere which had
little concern for the personal
lives of the students. The university
system has now changed
to provide social services for all
students, so that now the fraternity
seems superfluous.
It is for this reason, according
to Dean Warren, that critics have
just now started discovering
faults in the fraternity system
which have been present in that
system for many years. Miss
Warren divided the critics into
taKSt.grpjjps, the first of which can
sensationalism. This is the publicity-
seeking press. The second
group must be viewed with concern;
the administrators, educators,
and former members of fraternities
fall into this group and
are there because of fraternity's
inability or unwillingness to meet
the needs of a changed world.
Of this second group, Miss
Warren said, "These people have
been and in many instances still
are, our friends but at the same
time cannot give support to an
organization which they feel has
not lived up to its potentialities,
and therefore may be an anachronism
in our modern world, a
worn-out, obsolete social organization
which is slowly dying. . . .
They, too, find our concentration
on "Joe College" activities, such
as the . . . many queen contests,

failure to produce academically
on a superior level; our conversation
which seldom rises above
the level of the latest date or a
collegiate weekend; our emphasis
on social status and prestige; our
selection of members on superfi
cial qualities of "cuteness" and
"man-appeal"; all anachronisms
in a serious world demanding
better things of its citizens."
In view of these reasonable
objections to the fraternity system,
Dean Warren urged that the
fraternity' women "assess the
strengths of their system and determine
how to develop these
strengths in order to be more effective
influences in the lives of
members and a force for good in
the modern world."
Miss Warren cited the sorority
strengths as selective and limited
membership, initiation rituals
and prescribed programs, and
chapter organizations. She said
that through these strengths, the
fraternity woman is presented
with, among other things, t h e
opportunity to live congenially
with girls of the same interests;
the ideals of integrity, honor and
respect of man, and the opportunity
for the development of
leadership, social poise, and the
democratic process. In Dean Warren's
opinion, "these strengths
could make our organizations a
New Organizations Law
Affects Entire Campus
By JAMES SIMS
Plainsman Features Writer
One of the favorite complaints voiced by candidates during
election campaigns here on the Plains is the lack of
communication between student government and the individual
students. One of the concrete steps taken in recent
years toward solving this problem was t h e passage last quar
ter of an Organizations Law by
the Student Senate. This law set
up an organizations board to regulate
and coordinate the activities
of the various clubs on campus.
Every club or organization
(excluding social fraternities, sororities,
religious groups, and
publications) is classified accord,
ing to type.
There are three classifications
—school organizations, honorary
and leadership organizations, and
potent force for combating some
of the dangers of our current
world."
Miss W a r r e n asserted that
there are certain factors present
today which cause even the man
of reason to be apprehensive and
fearful. Three of these factors are
nuclear 'power, the scientific method
which has destroyed man's
belief in moral and spiritual
truths, and finally, a fear for the
fate of democracy.
It is Dean Warren's belief that,
"In a troubled world beset by
dangers which threaten the physical
destruction of all mankind,
the undermining of our form of
government and the moral decay
of man, there is little place for
an organization which places emphasis
on superficial activities
and permits its members to live
on a plane of mediocrity. The
concept of "Social ' Fraternity"
dedicated only to the pursuit of
pleasure, fun and thrills is indeed
an anachronism in our modern
world. But a "Fraternity"
dedicated to the moral and intellectual
development of its
members through constant association
with standards of excellence
can be a; source of strength
in any age and will not die.
"As fraternity groups we have
a framework for strength; a
Small select group of quality in
which the influence of member
upon member can be potent;
enunciated standards and goals
of excellence; and planned programs-
for~arhieving these goals.
If we fail' to match performance
with goals, it will be because of
a lack of will to achieve rather
than a lack of opportunity."
THERE IS NONE SO BLIND AS
HE WHO WILL NOT SEE.
service organizations. The chairman
of each of these divisions,
along with the Superintendent
of Student Organizations and the
activities advisor Drew Ragan,
form the Board of Student Organizations.
Although t h e Organizations
Law went into effect only last
quarter .already much has been
accomplished. The board is now
in the process of chartering those
organizations that have up to
now existed as more or less informal
groups, and approving
those groups which were previously
chartered.
In at least two instances the organizations
set up has been used
to spread information more effectively
than has been previously
possible. The success of this
year's Village Fair will depend
to a large extent on the amount
of cooperation received from the
various clubs and organizations,
especially school organizations.
The Village Fair committee has
used the Organizations Board extensively
to distribute information
to the individual organizations
as to where they fit in to
the Village Fair program. In r e turn,
suggestions and progress
reports have been channeled to
the Village Fair committee
through the Organizations Board.
In another area, these communication
lines to the organizations
are being used by Student
Body Public Relations to gather
information a b o u t individual
clubs and organizations for distribution
to the campus as a
whole. Each organization has
been asked to appoint a public
relations officer to handle this
news.
There are over 100 clubs and
organizations on the Auburn
campus, representing hundreds of
students. The Organizations Law
has opened new lines of communication
between these students
and student government.
The use of these newly-created
lines of communication will result
in a wider assimilation of
information a b o u t individual
clubs and organizations, and in a
better means of informing students
about the activities of student
government.

DEAD WEEK QUIZZES, AGAIN
Much has been said and many words
written about last minute quizzes on this
campus. In years to come, the subject will
probably be discussed several times over.
One might conjecture from the preceding
statement that we aren't too optimistic as
to our chances of shaking long-time tradition.
This is a relatively safe assumption.
Professors have been bent on giving quizzes
at the end of the quarter since year one.
We can see merit in such a system, but
we believe it is strongly outweighed by the
adverse effect which the quizzes have upon
the total welfare of the student.
There is a workable solution to this predicament,
and it could be brought to light
with the proper cooperation of students
and faculty.
We would offer the following as possible
corrections to what we consider a primary
concern to the student body:
The "dead" or "off" day that was so
well taken last quarter could become a
regular entity of the quarterly schedule.
For those of you who have joyously lived
under the illusion that there are no classes
this Monday—forget it. There will be regular
classes held on this most unusual day.
Why unusual? Because it's Monday and
the day before final examinations, that's
why! We cannot conceive of this system
being anything but detrimental to the welfare
of students and faculty alike. It is the
lot of the student, however, to accept this
injustice with no chance of defensive representation.
An injustice? Yes, it is so, when a student
is required to spend his energies laboring
over books for a quiz on Monday
only to find a final facing him the next
morning. He does not have sufficient time
to reconstitute himself for his impending
task.
We admit that we are not experienced
hands at outlining curricula or scheduling
quarterly activities. However, it appears to
us that a more agreeable situation might be
arranged.
We can see improvement in the partial
abolishing of Saturday classes. This is just
proof that the "powers that be" are somewhat
concerned with the problems of the
students. We admonish them to further
strive to make Auburn — not easier—but
more bearable.
If an off day is not a possibility, we
would plead with individual professors to
schedule their lectures in order that quizzes
may be completed well in advance of
the quarter's end. This is the more obvious
solution, yet it will not be widely practiced
for some time, we think.
A third solution would be quizzes given
only for the purpose of improving the
student's grade. Many instructors feel that
last-week quizzes are important in this respect.
Their mission could be accomplished
if the quiz were considered only in cases
where it actually pulled up the student's
average.
These are only a few of the possible solutions.
We hope that they, and others, will
be given the careful consideration of the
Council of Deans.

Letters To The Editor...
Independent Voices Opinions On Frats;
Engineer Editor Gives Off-Color Jokes
AMERICA, THE SHOWPLACE
A recent release by The Committee on
The Foreign Student in American Colleges
and Universities has called for American
institutions to re-examine the philosophy,
objectives and operation of their foreign
student programs. According to the release,
there are some 60,000 foreign students
attending institutions of higher learning
in the United States. The figure is expected
to exceed 100,000 in the next decade.
This committee report has brought to
mind the plight of the foreign student at
Auburn University. Simple fact becomes
stunning reality when we consider that
Auburn's foreign student here gains the
major portion of his view and attitude
about the United States. Although church
groups, some townspeople, and classroom
instructors have taken considerable interest
in these students, they are so often left
to total self-adjustment in a world which
as yet is unknown to them.
To our knowledge there has been very
little activity by these visitors in the variegated
extracurricular activities of the campus.
Auburn has abounding resources in
this a r e a with which to s h ow foreign
students an intimate picture of the American
culture. Several campus groups have
realized heretofore the need for such emphasis.
The Interfraternity Council for instance
offered a scholarship which included
meals at the different fraternity houses
for a worthy foreign student. Both foreign
student and fraternity members were given
the opportunity to learn a great deal
through this acquaintance. Sadly, it and
many like endeavors have gone by the
wayside because of limited finances and
' other administrative reasons.
An important point to remember is the
foreign student's value to us. He is a student
just as we are, but one who has had
experiences from which we can learn. A
roommate from Massachusetts or California
and his stories of home might well illustrate
the poinjt.
Auburn needs to re-evaluate its outlook
toward foreign students. Ah individual faculty
advisor and student "big brother" is
a possible step in the right direction. Foreign
students merit our careful attention.
The Auburn-U.S.A. picture in India is most
important.—Wilkinson.
ELECTION BY SELECTION
The Panhellenic Council of Auburn has
elected, or better we say selected, officers
for the coming year. The fact that these
officers are more or less "selected" is a
sufficient topic for discussion.
Rotation of agriculture is necessary to
prevent and control certain diseases of
the plants and to help maintain a balance
in the nutritive level of the soil. This is not
so with groups of people seeking proper
leadership for their group. Logic has been
tossed to the wind by those who contend
that this rotation of officers amongst all
sororities is the just and fair way.
We have heard it said that this system
was good because it kept any one group
from acquiring a domineering role in the
council. We cannot believe that any sorority
would thrive to any greater extent if
it had the president of Panhellenic for
more than one year in a row.
We are of the contention that leaders of
such groups should be elected on the basis
of qualifications rather than the simple
fact that it is their sorority's "time" for
that particular office.
Fortunately, Panhellenic has survived
through such a system and we feel certain
that they will continue to do so. However,
a more workable group would come from
a changeover to the popular election
scheme. We did not say "tpopularity" election,
but an election in which the truly
qualified persons are chosen regardless of
their sorority affiliation.
Editor, The Plainsman,
I would like to take this opportunity
to give my opinions on
the Auburn Fraternity system. I
think the time is ripe for an independent
to state his views on
the matter. Part of my objections,
or challenges, shall be directed
to a letter to the Plainsman
by Danny Paul, Chairman
of the IFC Rush Commission.
Mr. Paul states that rush "is a
time in which the leaders of the
I.F.C., the leaders of individual
fraternities, and the fraternity
men themselves are called upon
to prove their worth to society."
I have been in Auburn now for
four years and I can find nothing
that will prove the justification
for the existence of fraternities
or their value to society.
In another statement he said,
"Fraternities are coming to the
time when they either prove
their integrity or vanish from
society." In my opinion Fraternities
would have ceased to exist
long years ago if this statement
were fact.
It is unfair to the njgajority of
the Auburn Student Body for the
social Greek-letter organizations
to hold a virtual monopoly on
Student Government and, campus
honors. Bear in mind that approximately
two-thirds of the
Student Body are independents.
In view of this, isn't it sort of
strange that, for instance, I can't
recall but one Auburn independent
ever gaming recognition in
that farcial honorary known as
Spades. I can't recall even one
independent ever being elected
to an office higher than Senator
in our Student Government.
I can readily understand why
no more than 40 per cent of the
Student Body bothers to vote in
campus elections. There is no
equity in these elections for the
independent.
Fraternities and sororities provide
for a socially stratified campus
situation. Each one appears
to have its own little customs for
each member and pledge to conform
to. For instance, in one sorority
on campus practically all
of them wear shoes and no socks
and wear their hair in the same
style. I can recognize which sorority
a girl belongs to from five
blocks away if I see this. I guess
everyone remembers when all
the frat men thought it was fashionable
to be seen in public
wearing bermuda shorts, tennis
shoes, and a shirt which was not
tucked in. But, back to social
stratification; I would say that,
by and large, the independent is
looked down upon by the Greeks,
or at least not included in the
social "in-group."
I think the majority of the be-havorial
problems that concern
Auburn students can be traced
to the fraternity men. This includes
those barbarious parties,
the drinking problem, reckless
driving, etc. ad infinitum. I think
that the very presence of Fraternities
on the Auburn campus
tend to lessen the value of my
soon-to-be received diploma.
I realize that the two campus
political parties have invited
some independents to join. I
think their gesture was mere
political expediency in the interests
of getting more independent
votes.
I begrudge the fact that a large
portion of the Student Activity
Fee that I pay each quarter is
going for the support of the Fraternity
controlled functions of the
third floor of the Union.
The Fraternity in theory (I
refer to their ideals which are
normally stated in their rituals
or charter) is a good thing. In
practice fraternities are the most
farcial institution that exists on
the campus. In spite of the stated
ideals, they exhibit poor morals
and general social degradation. I
am speaking of the fraternity
system in general; I am not attempting
to categorize individual,
fraternities or individual members.
I challenge Student Government,
political parties, and the
various campus honoraries to
cease the discrimination against
t h e deserving independent. I

Student Body to make mention
of this in one of his weekly editorials.
Gentlemen, you have heard me

Questionable Humor
Not Accepted
Editor, The Plainsman,
We of the "half-dozen engineering
publications" respectfully
submit the following bits
of "off-color" humor so that the
Plainsman editors may utilize all
of their time in "fostering the
Auburn Spirit." This will save^
you from the burdensome task of
bumbling through our munificent
publication in search of tainted
anecdotes.
Stephen Spann, Editor
Auburn Engineer

We regret that we are unable
to print Mr. Spann's jokes. Most
of them, were too ribald for a
family publication such as the
Plainsman.—Ed.
Reader Questions
Letters To Editor
Editor, The Plainsman,
Concerning the past four or
five Plainsman editions: I was
under the impression that the
Plainsman was for the benefit of
the student body as a whole. In
the past few weeks it has come to
be a device for anyone connected
with it to deals (sic) a severe
blow to anyone else that expressed
an opinion contrary to the
staff writers. I feel sure that this
letter will be dealt with in the
same manner but I do feel better
for having expressed my opinion
be what it may. Don't you believe
that some other readers may feel
the same. The reprimanding for
the "Loveliest of the Plains'* I
believe was understandable but
why not let a bad thing die. Can
you not find better subjects besides
than "naughty, naughty Mr.
Monroe" to write about. Should
this kind of nonsense continue to
be written I don't believe I will
be the only one who is going to
stop reading the Plainsman so
that those "unfortunates" who do
not get to read it may have their
"chance."
Samuel T. Smith
P.S. Since I'm not an English
major there may be some outstanding
errors which need repair
like wasting my time to
write in the first place.
* * *
It is rather obvious that Mr.
Smith is not an English major.
But then one does not have to
meet any qualifications in order
to write letters to the Plainsman.
He, like most other writers,
apparently had some time on
hand and could not think of any-
I. thing ' better to do.—Ed.

Student Asks About
'FORGET IT!'
Editor, The Plainsman,
In your rejoinder to my recent
letter you state that The Plainsman
is " . . . a news medium, with
the responsibility of informing
the campus." If this is so, it is a
.newly-acquired s t a t u s . As I
pointed out in my first letter,
The Plainsman used to print
jokes. Perhaps the mighty Plainsman
has risen above the lowly
practice of including humor with
the news. But the Atlanta Constitution,
the front-pafge format
of which you attempt to imitate,
finds room among its news pages
for humor.
You state that, "We have very
little time to wander about the
campus looking . . . for little bits
of off-color humor." This seems
to indicate a tainted mind on
your part, because I made absolutely
no mention of "off-color
humor" in my letter.
I conclude by quoting two
pieces of news from the February
27 Plainsman: "FORGET IT!"
and "FORGET WHAT?". Since
these items were printed in the
news-oriented Plainsman, I am
sure they are of earth-shaking
importance and seriousness; vital
to the news-hungry Auburn student.
Donald M. Bogue
* * *
Reader Bogue is obviously
amongst the percentage of the
Auburn University populous that
would think the Plainsman was
an outstanding newspaper if it
contained eight pages of jokes,
loveliests, and "Little Man on
Campus" cartoons.—Ed.
Letters Across Student Government Desk
Give Welcome Relief From Seriousness
By Bert Hitchcock
Student Body President
"Behind the President's desk,"
we can easily turn our chair toward
the window for a typical view
of the Aubui-n campus. Needless to
say, it is raining, and the weather
rather matches our mood. Inspiration
and subj set matter for a
column are not
easy to come
by, so we sit
pondering in
front of our
typewriter. (It
is not easy to
ponder, either;
it is rather distracting,
to say
the least, for
all 8,000 of us
to try to use
the same machine.)
Now the rain could possibly
be some editorial food, but
the subject itself is somewhat wet,
wouldn't you agree?
But we mustn't allow gloomy
weather to so influence our reflections.
As a matter of fact, we
mustn't allow ourselves to reflect
so much in the first place. Just
because we are at a university
doesn't mean that we must be
stimulated to thought and vice
versa. There are too many wonderful
things in the present to
worry about the future, too many
shoal subjects to chance a deep
one.
Well now, we're beginning to
make some progress. A myriad of
new possibilities opens up to us
now that we're on the right track.
The wonderful part is that we
won't have to exert so much effort
and bring about so much
stress on our brain. (You will
agree that's nice, won't you?)
Many, many letters and pieces
of correspondence come across
the president's desk, and though
there are some memorandums and
such that call for some work, we
are happy to note that we can taboo
these and concern ourselves
with more pleasant things which
fit so well into our new concept.
One of our letters makes us feel
a great deal like Santa Claus.
"To who this may concern: ,
I am making a collection of
T-shirts of many colleges
throughout the country. I
would like to purchase a shirt \
from your college. I would
like information pertaining to
the cost if an when I am able
to buy one.
,Thank you for your
cooperation"
We took care of the matter .right
away, carefully pointing out,
however, that there were only 185
shopping days until Christmas.
Another of our letters almost
carries us over into the treacherous
academic quicksand, for it
proposes that Auburn set up "A '
Parachuting School at Auburn
University." By way of information
we are told that over 2,700
students have taken the famous
one-afternoon First Jump Course
which includes their first parachute
jump. The best selling point
is perhaps the impressive 0.186%
student parachutists' injury rate.
(Would anyone like to apply for
Dean of the School—you'd be flying
high!!!)
One letter to the Student Senate
starts off, "Senators in Brotherhood:
PLEASE DO NOT
THROW THIS IN FILE 13." How
could we ever think of doing such
a thing with the "inspiring introduction?
It may, in fact, provide
us with a model for all our future
correspondence.
Auburn has many traditions to
which we look and cling with
pride. We have an opportunity
now to start another one which we
feel sure will have lasting effects
on many generations to come.
(Oh, excuse me; I was about to
pet away from the present here).
Well, anyway, a very impressive
letter proposes that we give degrees
or certificates of merit to all
the student wives on campus.
They would come from the university,
of course, and we could
incorporate this little ceremony
right into the graduation exercises.
After all, "no one is too sophisticated
to appreciate recognition."
Just when we feel that we are
getting too serious or putting emphasis
on the things unimportant
to youth, we get letters from other
colleges and universities which
show beyond a doubt that we are
on the right track just as we are
going now. From Michigan comes
a request for us to enter NSPD-TOWCU,
which, for the unitiated,
means the National St. Patrick's
Day Tug-O-Wars for Colleges and
Universities. Without a doubt, it
is an opportunity which we can
scarcely allow to slip by unless
we accept the challenge from
California for the fastest 3,000-
mile cycling contest. We immediately
recognize the fact that to
carry on such a thing outdoors is
out of the question, but the contest
rules take care of all of that.
The bicycle is set up on blocks
inside a building, and a speedometer
still registers the revolutions
of the wheels. The only
thing remaining to be done is to
set up a twenty-four hour daily
schedule for our freshmen to pedal.
We must always be cognizant
of the cultural inter-relationships
which can be realized with OUT
fellow institutions of higher learning.
Yes, many letters come across
our desk here in our office. There
was another one which argued
convincingly that rejection of the
lecture system in education would
end May suicides. Others convey
the feeling that the Pentagon. in
Washington needs to be cleaned
out and enclose secret documents
which are proof positive of guilt
there. We mustn't exactly overlook
the regular reports and information
we receive each week
from Communist groups, but we
mustn't think about them too
much either. It could lead us into
that deep water where we don't
want to go.
It's a beautiful day. Who's gonna
take you to the p.rom?
Student Lauds
'West Side Story'
Editor, The Plainsman,
I would personally like to reply
to the childish remarks which
a Mr. Milton Williams made in
his column in the Feb. 20th edition
of the Plainsman.
Mr. Williams criticized, in his
sports column no less, the "West
Side Story" production of the
Auburn Dance Corps.
The Plainsman in today's issue
(Feb. 27th) apologized for Mr.
Williams' incorrect statements as
to the financial support of the
production.
However, nothing has been
said about his calling the show
"A REAL LIVE FARCE."
Now he either did not see the
show at all or he is unjustly prejudiced
against t h e Auburn
i Dance Corps.
If Mr. Williams had been present
at any of the performances,
he would have noticed not only
the size of the audience but also
their warm applause after each
scene and especially after the
entire show.
Here are some attendance figures:
On opening night, with the
Auburn-Tulane game played the
same night, we drew an audience
that filled over half of Langdon
Hall, (the latters' (sic) capacity
being approximately 600). On the
second night attendance figures
showed an increase to three
quarters filled! On the last of our
performances we were rewarded
with a full house! During all performances
the audience was
highly responsive and rewarded
our efforts with enthusiastic applause.
Now it seems to me that
a production which was this well
received by the student body can
hardly be called "A REAL LIVE
FARCE," am I not right?
As a member of the cast, I can
assure Mr. Williams, that we were
all dedicated to the goal of providing
the students of this University
with good entertainment
and that were not at all interested
in competing with the
Drama Department.
We, the members of the cast,
feel that we have succeeded in
our efforts and we are gratefull
(sic) for the support the student
body has shown us by receiving
"West Side Story" so well.
Gus Hoyer, member of
the cast and fellow
student
* * *
Perhaps we agree that the Auburn
Dance Corps is a farce in
that it is not, according to college
officials, a recognized college
group. Maybe some steps in
this direction might be rewarding
to the Corps. We have nothing
against the presentation of any
show by this group, yet we feel
that if the director would attempt
to gain recognition by the college
and take on an air of cooperation
rather than the present attitude,
the entire Corps would benefit
greatly.—Ed.
NOTICES
Graduation instructions have

students of the University. Starting
this week, students will be
able to play all day Monday at
one-half the usual price. This
means that the fees will be $1.05
on Monday. Students must present

Plans Being Formulated For Village Fair
Auburn's eleventh Village Fair
will be held on Saturday, April
20. The Fair, a traditional event
to orient high school students
from Alabama and surrounding
states on Auburn's college life, has
undergone considerable change
after a year's absence. The purpose,
as re-stated and re-emphasized
by a faculty-student evaluation
committee, is to promote an
understanding of Auburn's "educational
opportunities."
The task of rejuvenating Village
Fair falls on the shoulders of Ned
Pierce, the general chairman and
supt. of high school relations. Assisting
Pierce in making preparations
for the event is a seven-man
central committee composed of
Johnny Jeffers, coordinator; Bill
Mayrose, business manager; Jim
Vickery, exhibits and decorations
chairman; James Huffman, festival
chairman; Owen Brown, entertainment,
chairman; Girault
Jones, program editor; and Jim
Dinsmore, publicity chairman.
This year's Fair will be highlighted
by a festival Saturday
night featuring two "big-name"
entertainment groups. Two scholarships,
donated by the Auburn
Alumni Association, will be
awarded that night. Each scholarship
amounts to a full year's tuition.
A "Miss Village Fair" will
be chosen by Squires from the
many aspiring coeds who visit the
campus. She, too, will be presented
at the festival.
This year's event has been confined
to one day instead of a full
weekend. Many activities of past
Village Fairs, such as the annual
parade, the general campus decorations,
and the fraternity "parties,
have been abolished. VF Day
Will begin with registration in the
morning. Guided tours of the
campus will be offered throughout
the afternoon. Each school is
presenting an exhibit displaying a
particular facet of an Auburn education,
with a trophy going to the
best exhibit.
Cwens and Alpha Phi Omega
will conduct a "Hey Day" in conjunction
with the Fair. Auburn
Veterans Association (AVA) will
handle the information booths.
Assisting the central committee
are Bob Smith and Bill Mazo-rol,
business and advertising managers
of the program; Ray Bean,
assistant program editor; Cooper
Allison — registration; Carolyn
Rollins, general secretary; Linda
Myrick, secretary to the business
manager; George Gardener and
Betty Jo Liles—publicity.
Chairman Pierce is optimistic
about the "new" Village Fair but
is quick to add, with a bit of slang,
"It ain't going to be like it used
to be."

PANHELLENIC COUNCIL OFFICERS
SELECTED FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR
, By BOB REED
The officers of the Panhellenic
Council have been elected for the
coming year.
The newly-elected officers are
Shirley Saunders, Delta Delta
Pi Mu Epsilon Taps
Students For Initiation
National math honorary, Pi Mu
Epsilon (Alabama Beta Chapter)
recently tapped thirty-one students
for membership. To be accepted
for membership a student
must have maintained a 2.3 average
in all mathematics courses1 taken
and a 2.0 overall average.
The initiates for winter quarter
are: Charles B.' Boardman,
Lawrence Owen Brown, Jim Allen
Burton, Mary Ann Cahoon,
Albert Steven Cain, Thomas Rush
Clements, Judy Davidson, James
W. Dumas, Richard E. Fast, Douglas
Van Hale, Julie Hoffman,

Tommy Jay Richards, Fred R.
Robnett, Paul Burton Sigrest,
Marsha Stanley, James R. Thomas,
John T. Van Cleave, A l i ce
Marie Venable, David J. "Wilson,
Jr., Shelby Davis Worley.
Delta, president; Bertha Dozier,
Kappa Delta, secretary; Haden
Harris, Alpha Gamma Delta,
treasurer. The G r e e k Week
chairman, who will be a Kappa
Alpha Theta, has not yet been
selected.
The officers of Panhellenic are
not chosen by general election.
They are elected on a rotational
basis, with a different sorority
selecting a different officer each
year. This system thus attempts
to assure all sororities of having
equal representation on the Panhellenic
. Council.
The newly-elected officers will
be installed at the beginning of
Fall Quarter and will serve
through'Spring Quarter, 1964.
Beth May, out-going Panhellenic
president said, "I hope they
have as good a year for Panhellenic
as we feel we have had.
All of the newly-elected officers
are well qualified as all have
served before in various jobs on
the Panhellenic Council."
ATTEND CLASSES
MONDAY
Deadlines for applications have
been moved from June 15 to June
5 for the programs, beginning
next August and September. The
Institute's admissions committee
will review all applications simultaneously
after the deadline
and mail notices of acceptance or
rejection June 15.
Institute officials s a i d the-changes
were made because applications
from qualified students
have climbed beyond the capacities
of the programs. To continue
accepting qualified students
as applications a r e received
would entail rejecting some better
qualified students who applied
closer to the deadline date,
they said.
However, students with good
reasons for seeking advance notice
may petition the admissions
committee for a decision before
June 15.
The Institute's program at the
University of Vienna combines
English-taught liberal arts and
general studies courses, intensive
German language instruction,
regular German-taught university
courses for those competent
in German, and supplementary
lectures and seminars. It is open
to juniors and sophomores. There
is no language requirement.
The "Das Deutsche Jahr" program
is conducted for juniors
only at the University of Freiburg.
It stresses political science,
philosophy, literature, history
and German. All courses are
taught in German. Tutorials have
been added to aid U.S. students
in preparing for classes and ex
aminations.
The Paris Honors program ad
mits outstanding juniors and a
few sophomores. It emphasizes
contemporary European studies
and offers qualified students opportunities
for study at the University
of Paris and other Paris
schools. All classes are taught in
French.
Dr. York To Resign
As Extension Head
Dr. E. T. York, former Extension
Service director at Auburn
University, will resign as administrator
of the Federal Extension
Service to become provost in agriculture
at the University of
Florida. He is expected to leave
Washington for Gainesville by
July 1.
Dr. York, who left Auburn in
April of 1961 to head the Extension
Service nationally, will be
chief administrative official of all
agricultural units at Florida and
will be directly responsible to the
university president, Dr. Wayne
Reitz.
Those units include the college
of agriculture, school of forestry,
agricultural experiment stations
and extension service.
A native of DeKalb County,
York received bachelor and master's
degrees in science from Auburn
and a Ph.D. from Cornell.
He was appointed Extension Service
director here in 1959.

Does a man really take unfair advantage of women
when he uses Mennen Skin Bracer?
All depends on why he uses it.
Most men simply think Menthol-Iced Skin Bracer is the best
after-shave lotion around. Because it cools rather than burns.
Because it helps heal shaving nicks and scrapes. Because it
helps prevent blemishes.
So who can blame them if Bracer's crisp, long-lasting afoma
just happens to affect women so remarkably?
Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because
of this effect. fgrn

THE PLAINSMAN AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1963 PAGE 6
Complete With Finals . . .
Comes the end of the quarter and we take time out to sit lan-guedly
in the office and ponder ou.r navel and various other things
of personal interest such as our supply of blankets for the sport of
creek-banking and think fond thoughts about our sports fans . . .
which is a point we would relish in making. The fact is that there
are sports fans on the Auburn campus. There are also news fans and
features fans we are sure. There are also anti-sports fans which aren't
really sports fans at all . . . but people who don't like the sports staff,
managing editor, sports editor, boys in uniform, friendly animals
(such as Auburn co-eds), the confederate flag, or all manner of other
important things. Ah, well, that's the way things are these days.
It was of course brought to our attention that there were those
Who iconoclastically attacked this department and especially the upper-
left-hand corner of this page. We can only offer this advice . . .
Advice To Some . . .
First secure a Plainsman, and remove pages six, seven and eight
by severing them from the "useful" part of the publication with a
lengthy keen knife. Next obtain a large brush from any good source
(pilfering one from a friend will do just fine) and cover all three
pages with a good coat of Elmer's glue, which you'll find will not
come off your hands no matter how hard you try. Placing the three
pages flat on the floor, you will now discover that it is very easy to
write news, sports and weather stories in any manner and'place them
smartly along the columns of this section. The next thing you will
discover is that pages seven and eight are back to back and you have
pasted one of them to the floor. Now isn't that fetching . . . the way
it just lies there and refuses to move. We thought so. You will find
upon completing your "do-it-yourself-Plainsman" that you are quite
frustrated. If this is the case, we can only tell you to go out and do
it yourself!
Try It Yourself . . . I
Having thus pondered our navel and having found there one-and-
one-quarter pounds of belly-button lint, we move on to more
serious matters which come to mind.
Sports next quarter will consist of various things. Golf, tennis,
baseball, and soccer will not be among the least of these . . . which
makes us wonder if it is not actually the best quarter of all. Elbow-binding,
weekend tripping, and parallel parking will also be prevalent
and we intend to cover these: diligently and with great vigor.
So . . . if disturbed . . . fear not-. . . 'tis only the alert sports staff.

Tiger Baseball Opens Soon;
Seminoles First For Season
By GERALD RUTBERG
Plainsman Sports Writer
On Friday, March 15th, t h e 1963 edition of Auburn's baseball
Tigers will open their season w i t h a game against the
Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee. The same teams will
face each other in a doubleheader on Saturday.
Reporting on his team's progress, Coach Paul Nix stated
that he was pleased with the preseason
activity, although the
roundballers have been subjected
to generally poor weather conditions.
The schedule, which includes
23 encounters, is being
viewed with optimism and Coach
Nix feels that Auburn will be
able to battle on equal terms
with anyone slated.
Included on the squad are eight
pitchers and at least five or six
are expected to see considerable
action because of the tight schedule.
Joe Overton, outstanding
senior hurler and letterman, gets
the nod as t h e outstanding
moundsman, however, j u n i o r

of the Auburn Ail-American),

Auburn's Johns
Named As MVP
Auburn's Layton Johns, the lone unanimous choice for
All-Southeastern Conference honors this year, was named
this week as the most valuable player, best rebounder and
best shot in a poll of superlatives conducted by the Associated
Press.
Johns, a 6-foot-7 senior from
Nahunta, Ga., dominated the vot
ing by a seven-man board of ex
perts. He won the MVP award
and best rebounder category by
wide margins and narrowly de
feated Donnie Kessinger of Mis
sissippi and W. D .Stroud of
Mississippi State in the voting for
best shot.
Kessinger and Stroud were also
runnersup fo the multi-talented
Johns' in the MVP voting. All
three made the All-SEC team
announced last week, and Stroud,
an all-SEC repeater, was named
in 1962 as the league's most valuable
player. IVIEINJ!

performances. '
Auburn is considered to have
ample strength at the catching
position with Vick Svetly displaying
fine ability at handling
the pitchers and interjecting
leadership. Giving Vick a challenge
has been Bill Turberville
who will share this and other
positions because of his versatility.
'
Solidly entrenched at first base
is Larry Dempsey, who is a letterman
senior. At second is junior
Jimmy Martin, who had a
fine day in the first intrasquad
game, which was held last Saturday.
Shortstop finds junior Otis
Bibb and sophomore Jimmy Bar-field
vieing for the starting berth,
and Jimmy has logged some
practice time at third base also.
Senior Wayne Fowler and junior
Woody Woodall are contenders
for the third base slot, and based
on Wayne's previous experience
and success, Coach Nix has stated
that Woody will also play at
other positions.
The outfield finds an open race
going for the three places and
at present R i c h a r d Seaman,
Tandy Geralds, Jim Bachus, Dink
Hare, and Mailon Kent are prime
candidates.
Platooning will likely be practiced
at most positions, according
to Coach Nix, and academic
standing will decide those places
in the lineup where contenders
seem nearly equal in baseball
ability.
Looking to the SEC, Eastern
Division race, it appears that
•Florida will again be the favorite
to repeat as champion, but the
Tigers will be out to upset the
predictions. Having a solid nucleus
to work with, Coach Nix
is viewing the ensuing campaign
with cautious optimism.

SEIWA Title Taken
By Tiger Crapplers
By TOMMY LINDSEY
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn wrestling team for
the seventeenth year in a row
brought home the Southeastern
Intercollegiate Wrestling Association
crown.
The Auburn matmen beat all
comers in the most resounding
victory in the last few years. The
first three were Auburn, 82, Chattanooga,
64, and Swanee, 62.
In the matches, which took
place last Friday and Saturday at
Embry University in Atlanta, all
of the Tiger muslemen placed.
During the matches, Auburn
men took four first places. They
are: Bob Factora—115 pound class,
Sal Zarcone—125 pound class,
Captain Jeff Maurer—147 pound
class, and John McAfee, heavyweight
class.
No match ended; in a pin all
matches were decided on the basis
of points. This proves the tremendous
ability of the boys involved
and pays tribute to the well-balanced
wrestling team Coach
"Swede" Umbach has again produced.
Since all but one man on the
Tiger squad was a Sophomore
Auburn can look for tremendous
teams in the next two years.

Buddy Rutledge Is
Tiger Sports Voice
Throughout Year
By TOMMY LINDSEY
Plainsman Sports Writer
The man who broadcasts all of
the Tiger sports events, Buddy
Rutledge, is truly a remarkable
man. Confined to a wheel chair,
he is Auburn's greatest sports
exponent.
Buddy hails from Anniston
where he was a star fullback in
high school. He received an athletic
scholarship to the University
of Georgia, and went off to school
amid a whirl of newspaper clippings
and predictions that he
would become one of the nations
all-time great running backs.
But that year tragedy struck;
the crippling hand of polio touched
this young football hero. To
this day he is still confined to a
wheel chair.
He continued his education, and
after graduation he went to work
for radio station WHMA in Anniston.
He continued to work and he
was recognized for his outstanding
achievements in 1960 when he
was voted one of Alabama's outstanding
young men. In 1961 he
took over the directorship of
sports at WAPI Radio and Television
in Birmingham.
. Since then he has adopted Au-

MARKING ON THE CURVE—AND WHAT
TO DO ABOUT IT
Twonkey Crimscott was a professor. Choate Sigafoos was a
sophomore. Twonkey Crimscott was keen, cold, brilliant.
Choate Sigafoos was loose, vague, adenoidal. Twonkey Crimscott
believed in diligence, discipline, and marking on the curve.
Choate Sigafoos believed.in elves, Julie London, and thirteen
hours of sleep each night.
Yet there came, a .time,when Twonkey Crimscott—mentor,
sage, and savant—was thoroughly outthought, outfoxed, out-maneuvered,
outployed, and outwitted by Choate Sigafoos,
sophomore.

^timfM^/^
It happened one day when Choate was at the library studying
for one of Mr. Crimscott's exams in sociology. Mr. Crimscott's
exams were murder—plain, flat murder. They consisted of one
hundred questions, each question having four possible answers
-^A, B, C, and D. You had to check the correct answer, but the
trouble was that the four choices were so subtly shaded, so
intricately worded, that students more clever by far than Choate
Sigafoos were often set to gibbering.
So on this day Choate sat in the library poring over his
sociology text, his tiny brow furrowed with concentration, while
all around him sat the other members of the sociology class,
every one studying like crazy, every one scared and pasty.
Choate looked sadly at their stricken faces. "What a waste!"
he thought. "All this youth, this verve, this bounce, chained to
musty books in a musty library! We should be out singing and
dancing and cutting didoes on the greensward! Instead we
are here."
Then, suddenly, an absolute gasser of an idea hit Choate.
"Listen!" he shouted to his classmates. "Tomorrow when we
take the exam, let's all—every one of us—check Choice 'A' on
every question—every one of them."
"Huh?" said his classmates.
"Oh, I know that Choice 'A' can't be the right answer to
every question," said Choate. "But what's the difference? Mr.
Crimscott marks on the curve. If we all check the same answers,
then we all get the same score, and everybody in the class
gets a 'C'."
"Hmm," said his classmates.
"So why should we knock ourselves out studying?" said
Choate. "Let's get out of here and have a ball!"
So they all ran out and lit Marlboro Cigarettes and had a
ball, as indeed, you will too when you light a. Marlboro, for if
there ever was a cigarette to lift the spirit and gladden the
heart, to dispel the shades of night, to knot up the ravelled
sleeve of care, to put spring in your gait and roses in your
cheeks, it is filtered Marlboros—firm and pure and fragrant and
filled with rich, natural, golden tobacco. And, what's more, this
darlin' smoke comes in soft packs that are actually soft and
flip-top boxes that actually flip.
Well sir, the next morning the whole class did what Choate
said, and, sure enough, they all got 'C's, and they picked Choate
up and carried him on their shoulders and sang "For lie's a
Jolly Good Fellow" and plied him with sweetmeats and Marl-
;irls and put on buttons which said "I DOTE ON
CHOATE."
boros and girls
But they were celebrating too soon. Because the next time
shrewd old Mr. Crimscott gave them a test, he did not give
them one hundred multiple choice questions. He only gave
them one question—to wit: write a 30,000 word essay on
"Crime Does Not Pay"
"You and your ideas," they said to Choate and tore off his
epaulets and" broke his sword and drummed him out of the
school* Today, a broken man, he earns a living as a camshaft

To Decide Basketball Championship
By CRAWFORD WELCH
Intramural Sports Editor
The intramural basketball playoffs
began Monday night with
SC, SAE, OTS, and AGR competing
for honors. The championship
will be decided by double
elimination. This means each
team must be beaten twice before
it is eliminated.
Each fraternity game will begin
at 7:00 p.m. The championship
game will be played Thursday,
March 7.
SC and OTS won their league
Friday night with victories over
ATO and PKT respectively. SC
routed ATO 68-43 and OTS edged
PKT 55-51.
ATO started strong and led at
the end of the first quarter. However,
they soon cooled off and SC
went ahead to stay. Hilman of SC
led all scoring with 24 and Henry
was close behind with 20. Bigger
was ATO's high scorer with 11
and Boyd sank 9. OTS came from
behind to defeat PKT, who tried
to slow the game down with a
three point lead and little time
left. However, it didn't work as
they fouled OTS and failed to hit
their shots. Krawinkle of OTS
was the game's high scorer with
14 and Nay, his teammate, scored
12. Richardson and Goodwin of
PKT sank 13 each.
The dormitory and independent
play-offs were postponed l a st
week. The games will be played
this week at 8:00 and 9:00 p.m.
each night after the fraternity
games.

74-67 count.
It appeared to be anyone's
game' from the very beginning as
the Tide was very evidently out
to seek revenge for an earlier
season loss that the Plainsmen
handed to them on the same
court. The Tigers managed to
control the opening tip-off and
promtly ran the score to 4-0.
However, Alabama came back
with three straight field goals
to gain the lead with 16:04 left
in the first half. For the next
few minutes .the Tigers displayed
strength under the backboards
and with 11:40 left in the half,
the Tigers had forged into a six
point lead at 18-12, their largest
margin of the game.
The lead changed hands no less
than six times in the first half,
and the score was tied six times.
The first half offense of the Tigers
was led by little Larry Cart,
who tossed in 10.points, mostly
on set shots from outside the
circle. With only 4:18 minutes
remaining in the half, the Plainsmen
were down at 25-34 and it
appeared that the Tide was about
to gain the upper hand. The next
four minutes were filled with
action as the Tigers scored 14
points to a mere return of four
by the Tide, which gave them
a lead at the half of 39-38. James
Booth was the big man for Alabama
in the first period with 11
points.
The second half was just as
uncertain as the first, with the
lead changing hands six times
again. Although Auburn led most
of the half, they were never able
to post a formidable margin.
Midway through the period, with
only 10 minutes remaining in the
game, the Tigers had their largest
lead of the half at 51-48. Billy
Ingram, playing in his last gspe
as an Auburn Tiger, displayed an
accurate fall-away shot and tossed
in eight points during this
stage of the game. He received
help from Cart, who contributed
seven, as big Layton Johns kept
the backboards swept clean.
With less than 10 minutes to
go in the game, the Tide began
to roll as the Tigers began to
slump. Bob Andrews was the big
man for the Tide in this charge
as he dropped in 10 points. The
Alabama team was relentless
during this span, and with but-
3:05 to go in the game they
found themselves in the lead at
58-57. From here on in the two
teams matched points until the
Tigers gained a seemingly-comfortable
margin at 64-60, with
but 1:20 remaining in the contest.
The Tide then dropped in a field
goal and two free throws to knot
the score at 64-all. Only 40 seconds
remained on the clock as
the Tide stole the ball and maneuvered
for the last-second game
winning shot, but when the ball
was fired from the court it somehow
bounced over the basket in
to the able hands of a waiting
Tiger. :
In the overtime period Joe
Newton came in to replace Johns,
who "fouled out with seconds to
go in the regulation time. He
teamed with Cart and they
dumped in eight points between
them to ice the game. The

A u b u r n will open the 1963 football spring practice March
25 and end it with the annual A-Day game April 27. This
time in the spring benefits both the coaches and the hopeful
competitors.
There is a lack of time in the fall to let the coaches see
just who desire a starting position
the most. Spring training
also gives the players a little
longer to learn his position which
enables him to fulfill his duties
the following fall,
Only four senior lettermen will
be returning, while 16 sophomore
lettermen will be out to win a
starting slot. Two seniors, Mailon
Kent and Woody Woodall, are
excused from practice due to
baseball.
The position which seems to
be wide open
and which the
c o a c h e s are
I anxious to fill
is t h e tackle
slot. The Tigers
l o s t their
f o u r leading
t a c k l e s last
year when Joe
Baughan, D a vid
Hill, Winky
Giddens and
i George Gross
finished their eligibility.
Back at tackle this season will
be three lettermen: Chuck Hurs-ton,
a junior from Columbus,
Ga.; Bobby Rogers, a junior from
Gadsden, Ala.; and Dale Burgess,
a junior from Pensacola, Fla.
Two prospects that were red-shirted
last year, Alan Bohlert
and Jimmy Disco, along with
Bobby Walton, a freshman last
year, will be out for the tackle
post.
The guard berth seems to rely
on the same players as last year
with the return of three letter-men:
Bill Van Dyke, a senior
from Atlanta; Don Heller, a junior
from Cleveland, Ohio;. and
Earnie Warren, .a junior from
Marietta, Ga.
At center there will be Mike
Alford, a junior from Ft. Walton
Beach, Fla. who played second
team last year. He will receive
backing from Joe Miracle, a junior
from Jacksonville, Fla.
Wednesday, March 6, 1963
The end position will have experience
plus good backing with
the return of four lettermen.
They are Howard Simpson, a
senior from Marietta, Ga.; Mike
Helms, a junior from Springville,
Ala.; and Ronnie Baynes, a junior
from Talladega, Ala. Backing
these four will be Kaye Ellen-burg
from Atlanta.
At quarterback, with Mailon
Kent excused for baseball, Jimmy
Sidle, a junior from Birmingham
will carry the main load.
He will receive help from Jimmy
Partin, a junior from Chamblee,
Ga.
At left half there will be three
lettermen and one sophomore
competing for the starting post.
The top three are Tucker Fred-erickson,
a junior from Hollywood,

from Jasper, Ala.; and Doc Griffith,
a junior from Hokes Bluff,
Ala. The sophomore who won
many honors on the freshman
team last year is Gerald Grogs
from Carrollton, Ga.
At right half there will be two
reliable starters: George Rose, a
senior from Brunswick, Ga., and
Mickey Sutton, a junior from
Mobile, Ala.
The fullback position w i ll
again fall into the hands of the
Rawson brothers—Larry, a senior,
and David, a junior, both
from Pensacola, Fla.
There are two on-coming sophomores
who will surely find a
position for themselves before
the end of spring training. Bill
Cody, from Selma, played quarterback
for the frosh and on defense
he played linebacker and
safetyman with skill. Joe Campbell,
from Pascagoula, Miss., was
an outstanding quarterback and
hopes to find a starting slot on
the varsity.
Head Coach Ralph Jordan,
.along with his nine assistant
coaches, are looking forward to a
successful spring training which
will lead to a successful 1963-64
winning season.

Tucker Frederickson,
Promising Track Man
By REGGIE GILBERT
Plainsman Sports Writer
Ivan Charles Frederickson, better known as Tucker, is
rapidly developing into one of the most t a l e n t e d athletes at
Auburn.
This 6-2, 205 pounder came to Auburn from Hollywood,
Fla.( as one of the most sought after athletes in the Southeast.
Tucker turned down scho- halfback. His best game was
larship offers from numerous
other schools in order to study
vet medicine and play football
at Auburn.
Already familiar to Auburn
fans because of his football performances,
he has now shown
that he is quite a trackman also.
With only four days practice
Tucker placed fourth in shot put
in the SEC indoor meet at Montgomery
February 16, against the
t o u g h e s t competition in the
Southeast. Now throwing the shot
is not a new undertaking for
Tucker. As a senior in high school
he set' the Florida shot put record
by heaving the iron ball
56' 5". The men he competed
against in Montgomery are the
same he will oppose in the SEC
outdoor track championship this
spring in Birmingham. With more
than four days practice he should
have a strong chance of placing.
However his track days are
over for the present as he must
devote his attention to spring
football training. After training
he- will again work out with
Coach Hutsell.
Tucker looms as one of the big
heroes in Auburn's spring training
picture. He finished the 1962
season as the number one left
against Mississippi State when he
took over the number one position
after Jimmy Burson sustained
a broken arm. In that game he
was the leading ground gainer
and scored Auburn's only touchdown.
Soccer News
In their first home game of the
season last Saturday, the AU soccer
team handed Shorter College
a 4-0 shutout. A crowd of over
300 watched AU's fourth straight
victory against no defeats for the
spring.
The ASC will encounter a very
good all-German team from
Huntsville OGMS next Saturday
at Maxwell AFB. Huntsville OGMS
will be out«.to revenge a 1-2
loss to the Tigers which sent Auburn
on the current' winning
streak.
The AU defensive line showed
its usual stubborness, hardly ever
letting Shorter have a chance to
shoot at the AU goal. Auburn's
4-2-4 formation, unique in soccer,
has proven again to be the correct
combination for a victory.
There will be a Soccer Club
meeting at 7:15 p.m. at the Union
Building on Thursday.
