GRADUATES
Tickets for graduation . to be

picked up with caps and gowns
in the University Book Store.
It all started with an empty
film box and ended with an
award-winning "Press Pak"
dispenser.
The brain behind the design
was Ralph E. Wilgus, a senior
in industrial design, here. Wil­gus
recently was selected by
the Aluminum Company of A-merica
as one of three national
winners of the design merit
award for outstanding packag­ing
design.
"I hit on the idea by acci­dent,"
Wilgus said. "I crushed
the end of an old film box,
squeezed it like a triangle and
it dawned en me."
The "Press Pak," aptly named
by Wilgus, is a foil container
resembling a matchbox which,
when squeezed, allows the dis­pensing
of semi-solid fluids.
"Many people have shown
an interest in my product,"
said Wilgus. "The Food and
Drug Administration seems to
be quite interested in it."
The convenient dispenser has
many uses, said Wilgus. It can
be used for the individual pack­aging
of condiments, soap,
shampoo, medicines, and other
notions.

1965 - 66: A Year Of Triumph, Tragedy
By LYN SCARBROUGH
The top story of the
year centered around the
tragedy which struck the
Auburn campus during
the Feb. 18 weekend.
During a two - day period,
two active student leaders
were killed in an automobile
accident, ana another died
in a fire which raged through
the dcrmitory section of a
fraternity house.
It was a year which fea­tured
such news headliners
as the record-breaking Viet
Nam Blood Drive, the suc­cessful
Auburn Conference
on International Affairs, the
deaths of nine Auburn stu­dents
in traffic accidents, and
the inauguration of Dr. Harry
Melvin Philpott.
Following is a review of
the news that made up the
Auburn year, 1965-66.
FALL QUARTER
The increase in student en­rollment
continued when the
SPINAL MENINGITIS SCARE
Hundreds Flock To Infirmary For Pills
school year began fall quar­ter.
Over 12,000 students
passed through the library
lines during the three-day
registration period. This total
gave Auburn the largest on-campus
enrollment among
universities in the state. Fig­ures
also showed that a rec­ord
number of students par­ticipated
in fall rush.
A new Student Body-approved
apartment rule was
put into effect. The rule al­lowed
sophomore, junior, and
senior women to visit men's
apartments with two other
couples. They would also
have to give their date's
name, the name of the apart­ment
owner, and the address
of the apartment.
A proposed massive build­ing
program for the univer­sity
was announced by Col.

George Duncan Hastie McMillan, Junior
When the chroniclers of Auburn
student greats sit down one day in the
future to weigh their choices, a special
place will have to be reserved for
•George Duncan Hastie McMillan, Jun­ior,
1965-66 president of the student
body.
McMillan bowed out of office with
a sterling address two weeks ago that
in itself would speak mightily for a
chilhood victim of spinal meningitis
who defied near impossible odds in
reaching the heights.
McMillan brought efficiency and a
relentless pursuit of excellence to the
sometimes hollow office of student
body president. Blood drive records,
voting records, charity drive records,
were shattered during McMillan's
term. More important, a record num­ber
of students participated in student
body activities as local government
overoame its perennial "do-nothing"
stigma.
Blessed with a capable, workhorse
Senate and an ideal secretary, McMil­lan
left a student government mark
few will ever approach. GDHMcJr's
successors have some gigantic shoes to
fill for McMillan has left a record of
service to Auburn University of which
he can be proud.
Triumph And Tragedy
This has been a bittersweet year
for Auburn University. We have alter­nately
triumphed and been brought
low.
For the student body there is the
pride in having made possible a series
of enviable records. It was a year de­voted
to excellence and a place far
above the rest of the pack.
Nine students were killed in 1965-
66 in a relentless onslaught of auto
accidents that reached out to touch
even the Plainsman staff with the ulti­mate
in tragedies.
And an awesome fraternity house
fire took another life and permanently
scarred the memories of all who wat­ched
the blaze not realizing it was a
funeral pyre.
Truly, this has been the kind of
year you read about in some lengthy
novel and dismiss as being a fantasy.
It was a year for the hand of Fate.
If there is a point to be made, it is
that only the impossible does not hap­pen,
and that the ebb and flow of hu­man
existence continues through vic­tory
and despair. It was another year
for earth, air, fire, and water.
Items that would be good for Au­burn
and that we expect to become
reality in the future include:
—establishment of a state Board of
Regents replacing the Board of Trus­tees.
—a uniform cut policy.
—establishment of a Department of
Religion.
—an influx of nationally-franchised
restaurants.
—adoption of a rigid housing and
food inspection code by the University
and the City.
—decentralization of the business
office powers.
—the addition of several outstand­ing
Negro educators to the faculty.
—a life insurance sales crackdown.
—a junior year "learning by doing"
program where students are given the
option of conducting a year of indep­endent
study in their field.
'And Be Heard No More'
With the close of this quarter, Theo­dore
Hoepfner, professor of English,
will have strutted and fretted his hour
on the Auburn stage and then be heard
no more.
The dedicated Shakespearan scho­lar,
who occupies a unique professorial
spot in his students' minds, is retiring,
most likely to a smaller college in
North Alabama.
He has become, in a word, the em­bodiment
of devotion to a sterling
ideal. Shakespeare lives and walks
with Ted Hoepfner, he follows him
into the Kettle at four in the morning
for soliloquys over chili, and into the
class room to be examined and learned
from. Hoepfner has presented Shake­speare
with all the aplomb and trap­pings
he deserves, and to those who
have considered Elizabethan prose an
alien tongue, Professor Hoepfner's lu­cid
translations have breathed life into
the yellowed words. Shakespeare and
the professor have become one and
the same.
Time, progress, and our generation
must continue; but somewhere in the
midstream is Professor Hoepfner, to
remind man of his heritage and the
mutual experiences which we must
share. We have come to praise Hoepf­ner.—

Hanging Up The Guns:
Four Years In Review
By Gerald Rutberg
It's Sunday night, just like its been for
the last four years and 121 issues for us with
this unique Auburn institution. You can't call anybody 'cause
the lines are busy and one by one the staff reports for the weekly
non-credit Plainsman class. Everything is just about the same
as always with just one exception—this is it for us, the end of
the line, finis, —30—, whatever „ „ _,
The Peace Corps is now six
years old, and our dog, a pup
in 1953, is approaching age 14
and the winter of a lifetime of
companionship.
College for us has been a
metamorphosis. It has been a
period for learning to accept
bitter defeat and once in a
while to know victory. You
wave goodbye to your gradu­ating
roomate one quarter, and
before you know it someone
else is waving goodbye to you.
We don't claim to be that much
smarter than when we came to
the Plains, just a lot less dumb.
Our biggest disappointment
has been college football. For
17 years athletics was our life.
We managed for everything and
loved every minute of it, fully
hoping to continue in this area
at Auburn. Games here have
been exciting to watch and
Shug Jordan is as fine a man
as you'll meet, but we can't
help being distraught over the
mass sickness that envelops
the college game and removes
it from pure sport. Athletes on
the dole from overzealous
alumni who cry "Win! Win!
Win!" . . . or else, destroy any
kind of value system. And you'll
find this situation repeated
again and again wherever the
field house is the main campus
building. Auburn has many fine
athletes, and we have no quar­rel
with them, only with the
syndrome that envelops them.
The day that the game is de-emphasized
off the field is the
same day that the lessons of the
game will mean something on
the field.
By and large, our most en­joyable
moments at Auburn
have been spent at the fraterni­ty
house, the Plainsman office
and the ACOIA office. Few
know you better than your fra­ternity
brothers and no one will
come through for you as surely
as the Betas when the chips are
down. This is not a rush mes­sage,
it's a statement of fact.
The Plainsman is a way of
life. It is by far the most gruel­ling
campus endeavor, but it
can produce the greatest satis­faction.
We've seen plenty of
sunrises in four years and some­times
managed to author what
in retrospect must be classified
as unadulterated drivel, but
there is no easy path to be­coming
a writer.
Auburn's student newspaper
has a rich tradition. It is some­thing
of which you can be just­ly
proud. The door is open to
those who want to work. It is
a phantasmagoria of pressure,
deadlines, and those 3 a.m. trips
to the Kettle.
And now that we've said our
piece and gotten our affairs in
order, we'll bid you farewell.
To the Jerry Browns, the Toney
Sweeneys, the Ron Mussigs, the
George McMillans, the Jack
Browns, the Ron Castilles, the
Charley Majors, the Bruce
Nichols, the Chip Sanders, and
the George Stallards, thanks
for an interesting four years.
Mr. Lord, kindly roll the
presses. Gerald Rutberg is
hanging up his guns.
you choose to call it.
The college years are a life
unto themselves. You're born
as a freshman when some
sophomore tells you that you
don't wear white socks with a
suit, and die as a senior when
you've got three quizzes the
next day but say "yes" when
someone says, "Hey, let's go to
the 'Eagle.'.'
Not noted for nostalgia, we
this week take the liberty to
recall the past, to perhaps
"leap out" a bit and to attempt
to make our peace with Auburn
University before moving on.
It's difficult to fathom how
sad it is to leave this spot until
you can fully realize the free­dom
you are losing. The col­lege
newspaper is the only sta­tion
in a person's life where he
has the opportunity to express
his thoughts freely, and hope­fully,
with a blend of the vi­brancy
of youth mixed with the
knowledge brought by maturity
and responsibility.
There are no "sacred cows,"
no advertisers to please, and no
untouchables. You can say just
about what you please, praise
the good and damn the bad.
You are about as near to being
an island as a man can be,
and usually less than a foot
above sea level-an institution
for the people to cuss.
Auburn University is an in­stitution
dealing most success­fully
in the intangibles of exist­ence.
It is not yet a "great"
educational institution, though
it is making giant strides in this
direction, but if you give Au­burn
a chance, it can give you
the necessities for "leading the
good life." Other universities
often fail so miserably in this
category, but Auburn must be
the Harvard of the "well-ad­justed"
colleges. Individualism
may be found here. It is not
prevalent, but it is genuine
where it does manifest itself.
There are plenty of "nebulous
bods" on the campus. These
are" the guys who eat and sleep
and play and do nothing else.
These are the coeds who can
tell you what's the latest fash­ion
item and who are the "cool­est"
guys on campus, but
couldn't name the president of
the Student Body or tell you
what Sansing Smith wrote
about last week to save their
empty souls. These are the peo­ple
we detest. To our way of
thinking, these robots are lead­ing
pseudo-lives. One day,
when youth and beauty and the
facade is gone, they'll wake up
to pay the piper for a lifetime
of complacency. For them, life
will begin at 39, having rested
on their collective posteriors for
the first 38.
Many of our idols have died
since we left the outer world in
the autumn of 1962. Winston
Churchill, Adlai Stevenson,
Douglas McArthur, John Ken­nedy,
Marilyn Monroe, Fireball
Roberts, Gary Cooper, they be­long
to the ages. Today's heroes
are Batman, Bullwinkle, Bob
Dylan, LB J, and Lurleen. And
who knows what mortal stands
waiting in the wings?
ANTIAIRCRAFT
Tattle-tales . . .
Rules Are A Dilemma
For The Maturing Coed
By Anne Johnson
The Auburn coed is today faced with a
multitude of problems, not the least of these
are rules, rules, and more rules. She is expected to adhere to
the regulations of society, parents, and peer groups. But present­ly-
dominant are the rules of Auburn. She has become saturated
with permissions, restrictions, and high-sounding codes of ethics.
She knows what is right and
would do the right thing if
given a chance, but this has al­ready
been decided for her.
The rules established for the
Auburn coed, if strictly follow­ed,
would affect her every
movement from awakening in
the morning to going to sleep
at night. There are rules for
.dressing, eating, talking, going,
and coming.
The present rules are ob­viously
for someone with ques­tionable
intelligence and with
little discriminating judgment.
But according to ACT scores,
the average coed is intelligent
and rates slightly higher than
the male student in grade point
average. Presumably she has
been instilled with a sense of
values. , .'•••
As a freshman, partially away
from parental influence, college
is a new and intensely exciting
experience for her. She is baf­fled
and elated at the same
time, and eager to have fun.
Yet, because of her immaturity,
she needs and usually wants
some regulations for her first
year at college.
But the older coed has the
advantage of a better under­standing
of her environment.
And this deserves more recogni­tion.
This does not mean that all
rules should be obliterated.
Many of the rules for the coed
were created, for the protection
of the rights of others and are
purposeful. That a girl should
be expected to be quiet during
study hours in the dorm is
made for the good of all. That
she is expected to be in at a
certain hour, eliminates con­fusion
for all. But a rule that
tells a girl where she can go
and what she can do when she
gets there involves another
element—personal liberty.
Every citizen is guaranteed
certain personal liberties. It
would seem that any coed
twenty one years old would
have the intelligence and de­serves
the right to make some
judgments on her own.
But there is a fine line be­tween
a personal right and an
encroachment on the rights of
others. For instance, if Auburn
coeds were allowed to drink, it
would be very offensive when
some came in the dorm howling
drunk.
Yet my faith in a rule slips
when I realize that it is en­forced
by pitting one sorority
against another, one girl against
another. Such are the drinking
and apartment rules, and I can
think of better ways to foster
the Auburn spirit.
Realizing these and other
complications, the present As­sociated
Women Students Coun­cil
has made significant ad­vances
this year. They are to
be commended for resourceful­ness
and forward-thinking, and
are setting a logical pattern of
accomplishing gains step by
step.
But a problem, causing con­fusion
and frustration for the
Auburn coed, still exists. It will
always exist as long as rules
are made which attempt to dic­tate
morals.
It is traditional in all college news­papers
and of course the Plainsman to
write a —30— editorial (which is a
journalistic term for "the end").
This has been a heart-renting year
for the local version of the fourth es­tate
for losing an editor is, on a dif­ferent
level, a shock akin to losing an
American president.
Were Mary Whitley alive today, we
are certain that she would be smiling
broadly and most proud at news of the
Plainsman's being awarded first place
in the American Newspaper Guild's
southern regional competition against
100 other campus 'sheets.' That we're
number one is a tribute to our late
editor and a two-man journalism de­partment
who managed together to
train and mold a winner.
We are all proud and thankful for
those who helped us out in the most
trying of circumstances in order that
we might continue producing for you,
the Auburn student, as fine a college
newspaper as can be found.
As long as the Plainsman is left to
dig out the hard news and publish the
best in contemporary young America's
thoughts, the Plainsman will continue
to be a leader along the often rocky
road of collegiate newspapering.
And the best is yet to come from
the Plainsman for Jerry Brown and his
young and talented staff for 1966-67
have potential unlimited blended with
a wealth of experience.

Big Question In Georgia:

Dear Senator Talmadge,
I am sure this is only one of the thousands

I do hope that you will resign your seat in the U.S. Senate and

A Graduation Reflection,
And A Farewell To Auburn
By Ron Castille
Another year at Auburn draws to a close.
Another year of knowledge and life is tucked
under our belts. The parties are over and the late night stands are
through, as we prepare for our summers of freedom from school.
But, there is an elite group amongst us whose summer of free­dom
will stretch out to the entire length of their lives.
you are only one of a hundred
senators, we voters appreciate
your unselfishness. We don't
need you there—you have a re­sponsibility
to return to your
homeland to take the wheel of
the S.S. Democrat and guide
her safely through the rocky
waters of Republicianism. The
ten years' senority which you
have gained in the Senate will
help you tremendously in your
administration as Governor.
Don't worry about that
seniority—the man named to
replace you can work his way
up the Democratic vine in a
decade or so. Anyway it is much
more important to have a
Democrat in the governor's
chair in Atlanta than to have a
Georgian chair in the Finance
Committee of the U.S. Senate.
Let's be sure to do our all to
keep the Republicans out of
Georgia power positions. The
two-party system can cause
nothing but trouble for us—
remember the Reconstruction
Period. Herman, you are our
hope to keep Bo Callaway out
of the Governor's mansion.
Any party henchman can
function in our nation's capital
as our state's highest repre­sentative,
but we must have the
cream of the Democrats for the
governorship. The tremendous
power which has been central­ized
in Atlanta recently de­mands
the best in leadership.
One term by you should pre-
Summer for them will no long­er
be the interim between
school sessions, it will be life

class of Spring 1966 who
are ready to make their way
through life.
These "old pros" can look
forward to the day when they
can put up their books and take
their last test and go out and
grab the world by the tail and
make it theirs to play with. But
these people still have one test
to face, and that test is the
never-ending test of life itself.
To face this test, we have
spent four or five long years

years to come. ,__
The plight is set. With you as
governor, a new freshman
senator, and minus Callaway's
two party "radicalism," the
state of Georgia can continue
the same outstanding progress
as it has for the last hundred
years.
Thank you,
A typical voter
at Auburn preparing ourselves;
indeed we have spent our en­tire
lives in preparation for the
rest of our lives. Some of us
will now continue in the aca­demic
field, some will go to
military service, while others
will become public servants or
members of the business com­munity.
But wherever we go,
we will carry the mark of Au­burn
with us.
But, our years at Auburn will
be difficult to assess, and their
contribution to our success or
failure will be just as difficult
to determine. Most of us came
to Auburn as children, but we
will leave it as men and women
ready to face an unfamiliar
world and an unknown future,
whether we like it or not. Our
college life was a preparation
for the test of life. How well we
do in life will be decided by
time and personal motivation.
We need to look not to the end
of college, but to the beginning
life and our role in it.

Standing Up . . .
Save Nostalgia
For Memories
As Year Ends
By Jerry Brown
Year's end is the natural time
for nostalgia, crying in one's
beer, and the myriad of other
small things which we fling
together in recounting memo­ries.
The nightmarish death of our
dear friend, has made us real­ize
the mortality of man's phy­sical
structure and let us ap­preciate
adhering to sound
principles. We still cannot ac­cept
the passing of Mary.
This year has seen the emer­gence
of Gerald Rutberg—that
laughing fountain of ideas,
knowledge, and blossoming pro­phecies.
He will leave to go
to law school and before we
begin to cry
with A u 1 d
Lang Syne,
someth i n g
needs to be
said for the
Shylock. He
has fought
almost over­whelm
i n g
odds on this
c a m p u s .
"Frie n d s"
h a v e s h ot
him down, honors have eluded
him, and yet now he stands up
with the best; he has shown
pockets of endurance and cour­age
w'lich few would grant. He
has been an excellent editor
and a tough act to follow. His
Bible will continue to be the
Plainsman and what he will
reflect if a co-op effort is
maintained; his determination
to see something good in total
darkness will pensever. In his
editorials on Viet Nam he sold
no war bonds; through his com­ments
he gained no great fol­lowing,
wanted none, and still
has transferred almost com­pletely,
the 107 thoughts in­cluded
in his prose to the read­ing
student body. He threw a
jab or two at all that needed,
patted the deserving ones on
the back, and filled the role as
no one else under such trying
circumstances could have. In
our rat court, we find him in­nocent
of all the condemnations.
The do-nothings and know-nothings
who badmouthed him
have lost. Rutberg is the retir­ing
champ.
But off the nostalgic theme,
the klanish nature of certain
groups of students, particularly
after the election, could grow
out of proportion. The winners
last year came across the line
after the election. If next
year's student government is
to do anything, help is going to
be required. Student participa­tion
was the key this year, and
a regression of theme will
leave student politicos back
with prior nebulous terms.
President Philpott's in for
good, for the good of Auburn.
Next year, he'll start the ball
rolling with several appoint­ments,
a few retirements, and
a better Auburn in mind. Au.
burn has needed a Philpott.
Like Hambone, we can say
that the good outweighs the
bad, and half-way believe it.
Faith is the watchword for
'67 with hopes of good luck to
all on quizzes, with the women,
with the selective service, in
PE labs, in 104 chemistry lab,
with column ideas, draft beer
in the Union, appointees to
guide the University, money

the highways, on friends, on
news stories and on the surf
this summer.

with gratitude.
I am glad because of the
chance that I have been af­forded
to express my opinion
via this newspaper, and I hope
that I have contributed, even
if in the smallest way, to the
advancement of thought and
understanding among the mem­bers
of Auburn University. To
those who have taken the time
to read my columns, I offer
thanks.
I am sad because this is my
last column and I will be leav­ing
one of the institutions of
Auburn that has been the
source of my greatest satisfac­tion.
The years have had their
ups and downs as they all must
do, but they have been interest­ing
as well as trying years, fill­ed
with a multitude of friends,
acquaintances, and just plain
people who make life the ex­perience
that it is. To every­one
I offer a sincere farewell,
and a hope to meet again in
the future. To all those and
those who follow, the best of
luck in all things.

combined, to make the
show completely original.
It was suggested that Auburn
initiate a program similar to
one at Mississippi State College
where the Administrative Coun­cil
approved a permanent pro­fessor
evaluation program. The
program at Miss. State was
drawn up by the Student Coun­cil

Senate Revives
Chapel Idea
By JIM YEAMAN
The 1965-66 Student Senate
revived an old Circle K move­ment
to establish an inter-de­nomination
chapel on the Au­burn
campus. This project is
now under consideration by the
recently elected Student Senate.
Pat Stacker, president pro
tern of the Student Senate, has
taken charge of the Chapel
Committee and is optimistic
about the chances of the chapel
becoming a reality.
Dr. Harry M. Philpott, presi­dent
of Auburn University, has
expressed great interest in the
Chapel Project. He points out
that state money could not be
used for the project. However,
he suggests that the Granford
Foundation is a non-profit phil-antropic
institution which has
sponsored similar projects on
university campuses elsewhere.
Delta Sorority, replaces Carol
Blevins, a junior in science and
literature, who will serve next
year as a representative to the
council.
Other representatives return­ing
next year are Jane Hall, a
sophomore in secondary educa­tion
and Jean Ford, a freshman
in science and literature. Ex-officio
members are Frances
Tully, president of AWS and
Cindy Bridges, secretary of
AWS.

Coeds Are
Killing Chivalry
Editor, the Plainsman:
How many times have you
heard the comment that chi­valry
is dead or dying? The Au­burn
coeds are wielding the
weapons.
A strange transformation oc­curs
when a girl becomes an
Auburn student. I have yet to
discover the catalyst but some­thing
definitely transforms
those sweet, young kittens into
pompous, arrogant feline crea­tures
whose nature is obvious
when one walks across the
campus.
Most men, including myself,
will go out of their way to hold
a door for a lady or to step
aside on a crowded walkway.
But when that "lady" strolls
right through the door without
so much as a nod of thanks, a
man's initiative tends to die a
little.
How many times, men, have
you been walking down a cam­pus
sidewalk when you en­countered
three or four coeds
lined up across the sidewalk
and coming at you like a Sher­man
tank? So you step into the
mud like a good knight, not
even bothering to smile, for it
won't be seen.
Scenes such as this lead to
the phrases and jokes about
Auburn coeds which, unfor­tunately,
cannot be mentioned
here.
There are many notable ex­ceptions
to the above mentioned
class. It has been my good for­tune
to be acquainted with
these lasses. For them, it is
truly a pleasure to display the
characteristics of a gentleman.
For the others—well, if they
read this catharsis and care,
perhaps we will see a change.

'Ethics' Prevent Cut
In Editorial Comment
Editor, the Plainsman:
As students of behavior, a
number of us in the psychology
department have for some time
worked on Auburn's most pres­sing
problem; to wit, the in­compatibility
of the unmarried
undergraduate female and male
students.
Among the relevant variables
considered were the three to
one ratio, unreasonable atti­tudes
of the girls, unreasonable
attitudes of the boys, priggish-ness
of the administration,
states' rights, local merchants,
the location of Jack's Hamburg­ers,
and fluoridation.
By applying psychological in­sight
and advanced statistical
techniques, we have succeeded
in solving the problem.
In view of the fact, However,
that publication of the solution
of the above would result in an
approximately 20 per cent re­duction
of the editorial page
comment in the Plainsman, we
decided, in the name of scien­tific
ethics, to destroy our find­ings.

Is Editor Against
Private Enterprise?
Editor, the Plainsman:
The last paragraph of your
May 13 editorial on Bill What-ley's
bus service begins "Ordi­narily,
we would not advocate
patronage of a privately-owned
facility serving the University,
. . ." Why not? Does the editor
believe that private ownership
is bad, or is it bad only when it
is serving the University? Per­haps
he will favor us with an
editorial on this subject soon.
George Greene
Asst. Professor of
zoology-entomology
Ed's Note: Of course we favor
private ownership service on
the campus and everywhere,
but to go on record editorially
as supporting one product or
service over another, especially
in the case of a monopoly,
would ordinarily be a dangerous
precedent. It just so happens
that Whatley's bus company is
an exception. We regard his
service as a public utility.
A standard policy of advo­cating
private patronage in the
pages of the Plainsman would
make it all right for an editor
to urge Auburn students to run
down to the University Book
Store in their Gant shirts,
white Levi's, Villager dresses
and Bass Weejuns to buy a pack
of Marlboros and a Bic pen be­fore
going to class.

LOOK MARV, THESE HEADLINES ARE BUMPING
Ron Mussig knows that headlines shouldn't strike each other across adjacent columns.
But there is usually a small rift between editors and printers. In this case, it's a friendly
one; but Tuesdays and changes in make-up create a balkiness on the part of the composing
man, Marvin Walters, above right. It's a case of mutual frustration. When offset is
initiated, the pages will be read on "paste-ups" in the office. No reading will be done
at the printer's.

This cheerful quartet, assembled around the headline counting board (which is used to
determine how many letters can go within the different column margins) are from left

Something New Every Day
By ANN HOLLINGSWORTH
For 26 years a friendly gen­tleman
has served the Auburn
coeds as the postman in Social
Center. Known to the girls as
Darnel, he sorts the mail and
places ;'. H the boxes twice a
day.
In his usual white coat, Dar­nel
Giddens is a'ways ready to
stop his work to get a package
or sell a stamp. He never tires
of the frequent question, "It all
the mail up?" when a disap­pointed
coed finds her box
empty.
PERSONAL DELIVERY
Things were not always this
systematic, says Darnell. Be­fore
the post office was built,
he had to deliver the mail him­self
to each dormitory. Darnel
likes to tell about the times
when there were only four
dormitories.
At that time Social Center,
where the post office is now,
was where the girls received
dates and visited with them in
the dating parlors. Each of the
26 dating parlors consisted of a
"love seat" and a small table.
The up-keep of the parlors
were part of Darnel's job.
New dormitories were built
on what was then the drill field
and the dining hall was enlarg­ed.
The new expansion called
for a centralized post office,
and Darnel was given his own
place in Social Center.
Being born in Auburn in
1911, Darnel has always lived
here except when attending
Alabama State Teachers College
in Montgomery and studying
music at Tuskegee.
CHURCH ORGANIST
Now Darnel uses his musical
talent as organist at White
Street Baptist Church, and
Greens Chapel and in teaching
piano in his home. He has also
taught a Bible class regularly
for 20 years.
Painting still life is another
of Darnel's pleasures. He will
proudly tell that one of his oil
works, a woodland scene, is dis­played
in the Chicago Tuskegee
Club and two Tuskegee Alumni
Clubs in California.
The Tuskegee Club, Darnel
explains, is made up of Tus­kegee
graduates. They func­tion
in awarding scholarships
and have frequent discussions
on school conditions, alumni
contributions ,and other pertin­ent
topics.
Sorting the mail, teaching
piano and Bible, and painting
on the side, Darnel is definitely
a busy person. Yet this pleasant
man with graying hair puts up
with all the traffic of the letters
and packages of Auburn coeds.

What Is The Sullivan Award?

Both the nature of the award
and the character of the man
whose name it bears merit more
recognition and publicity. Un­like

this award is not based on

Helms, Lillian Cross, and Dr.
Paul S. Haley. President Harry
M. Philpott and Dean of Stu­dent
Affairs James E. Foy re­ceived
the honor in their re­spective
graduating classes. This
y e a r ' s graduation speaker,
George A. Mattison, Jr., also
was honored with this award.
BEAUTIFUL LIFE
Sullivan said, "And never
yet was anything seen so beau­tiful
or artistic as a beautiful
life." His life was one of love
for his fellow man and a con­stant
striving for the "beautiful
life" of which he spoke.
Algernon Sydney Sullivan
was born at Madison, Ind., in
1826. He was educated at Han­over
College and Miami of
Ohio. After graduation he
studied law under the pre-ceptorship
of his father and
was admitted to the bar in
1849.
Early in his career he de­fended
a charge of piracy a-gainst
the officers and crew of
the schooner "Savannah," the
first Confederate vessel cap­tured
during the Civil War. De­spite
public opinion and threats
against his life, he upheld his
personal and professional in­tegrity
and continued the de­fense
of the men, who were ul­timately
acquitted.
ACCUSED OF TREASON
As a result of this action he
was accused 'of treason against
the North and thrown into pri­son.
Finally the pressure ap­plied
by some of his influential
friends resulted in his release.
The experience had a profound
effect on Sullivan. He suffered
much material loss as a result
of the mistrust which some peo­ple
felt for him after the inci­dent.
Sullivan had a self-imposed
rule of ethics which no situation
could change. He said, "In a
matter presenting a question of
right or wrong, the decision, if
it rests with me, must be for
the right as I see it and my
energies must be directed to­ward
upholding it. When
another man's interests and
mine conflict, and the decision
rests with me, if I am in doubt,
I decide against myself."
According to The National
Cyclopedia, "Algernon Sydney
Sullivan was one of the strong­est,
readiest and most capable
trial lawyers in New York City.
He was an astute analyst, ex­ceptionally
able, candid, fair,
and versatile in his law busi­ness.
An eloquent and convinc­ing
orator, he was chosen to ad­dress
numberous gatherings."
MAGNETIC PERSONALITY
The National Cylopedia also
described him as possessing
wide knowledge and cultural
interests, a magnetic personality
and nobility of character. He
was exceedingly sympathetic
and philanthropic, and there
were few movements for public
welfare, alleviation of suffering
or the upholding of high ideals
that did not receive his aid.
A man like all other men,
Sullivan had his weaknesses.
Anne Middleton Holmes in her
biography of Sullivan said that
his weakness of character was
the belief, beyond all reason, in
the good intentions of others.
He was also a physically frail
and weak person. These defects,
however, did not keep Sullivan
from being a truly remarkable
man, Miss Holmes adds.
Sullivan served as assistant
district attorney and public ad­ministrator
in New York. He
was president of the New York
College of Music, founder and

A miniature sea horse named
Louis gave birth to 30 sea
"colts" in a girls' dormitory
room Thursday night. Hardly
measuring one inch, the par­ent
is resting quietly while the
babies swim energetically
around their bowl.
Louis is the second sea horse
to arrive in Auburn as a result
of a prank pulled on a sorority
girl by a playful pledge.
The first one, Louise, came
in the mail a month ago com­plete
with shrimp eggs for its
meals. It took a long time to
transfer Louise from her plastic
mailing bag to her bowl because
of the change in temperature
and the mixing of chemicals in
the water.
Yesterday, just when Louise
was beginning to look pale and
sickly, Louis arrived. Louis,
the male, was expecting. After
the female sea horses lay eggs,
the male carries them in a
pouch until they are ready
hatch.
About ten hours after Louis
came, the population of the fish
bowl increased from two to 32.
"This has really been an excit­ing
experience, but heaven only
knows what we'll do with the
off-spring," said Sara Blake,
proud owner of Louis and
Louise. Could this be another
first for Auburn?

Pause
By David Housel
The News and the Tide . . .
Adorning the full color page of Sunday's Birmingham News'
sports pages was a picture of Legion field, pride and joy of
sporting Birmingham, and a supporter of the Alabama Crimson
Tide, pride and joy of the Birmingham News.
The headline read "Alabama Landslide." Representatives of
all the conference schools had voted the Tide as the team to
beat next fall. Bear and his boys had a commanding 79-63
lead over Ole Miss, the second place team. LSU was third,
Tennessee fourth, Florida fifth, and Auburn sixth.
Inside the sports section, the members of Tne News Sports
staff made their selections as to the SEC finish this fail. Again
fiama was first. Tennessee was second, Mississippi third,
Georgia fourth, and the Tigers fifth.
" Now I am not going to debate conference athletic officials
as to their choices of the top team in the conference because,
afterall, they are supposed to know their business.
Auburn's friend, sports editor Benny Marshall, picked the
Tigers to finish third, Which was the highest ranking given
Auburn. (Mr. Marshall, whose sports pages always give Auburn
ana Alabama equal billing even when polls aren't being con­ducted,
said earlier that if Auburn could solve their quarterback
problems that the Tigers would be in contention for the con­ference
crown.)
Auburn's voting ranged from Mr. Marshall's third to Clyde
Bolton's selection as ninth.
Tne tiiriii.iifc'iiaiii iMevvs picked Auburn to finish fifth in the
conference. I hope that they aren't any better at picking foot­ball
teams than they are at picking governors.
Up or Down . . .
Now I can't really quarrel with the way anybody voted, but
in my opinion, the surprise team of the conference may come
an East Alabama school. (And I am not talking about Tuskegee
Institute.)
Some great Auburn teams in the past have had a good full­back,
a young quarterback and a good kicker. The 1966 Auburn
team meets these requirement. This team could be a real sur­prise.
Alabama has to lead the pack in May, but don't count
Auburn out in May. The final vote doesn't come until Decem­ber
3.
Another thing about Alabama's first ranking and Auburn's
sixth prediction . . . The Tide has no way to go but down . . .
Auburn has no where to go but up as far as prestige goes.
Wrapping it Up
Well, it's time to get out the old notebook and wrap the
spring quarter l'lainsman up.
While gathering information for an earlier column, I learned
from Coach Wilbur Hutsell that Auburn once had a boxing team.
In the 1940's an assistant football coach organized a boxing
team to compete in a tournament at Clemson. After a couple
of weeks' training, the team went to the meet with high hopes.
The aspirations were quickly dashed however as the entire
boxing team was knocked out the first day.
With a smile, Coach Hutsell said that it was pretty hard to
find a boxer on the Auburn campus after that. "We had a weak
boxing team for. about a week," says Hutsell laughing.
10-8 in 1963 . . .
University of Alabama fans are still blaming the Crimson
Tide's 10-8 loss to Auburn in 1963 on two things. At the A-Night
game ih Tuscaloosa last week, I overheard two of the fans
talking about how Auburn would not have beaten their team
that year if it had not been for one mistake (a 7 yard line
fumble by Benny Nelson) and the rumored antics of Joe Namath,
who later became the Tide's super star.
They seem to forget about a tenacious Auburn defense that
held the Tide in check the entire fourth quarter. Alabama trail­ing
by two points, had a strong wind to their back. With a field
goal kicker like Tim Davis, the Tide had an excellent chance
to beat Auburn in the fourth quarter but the Tide never got
into field goal range as the Auburn defensive line and secondary
wouldn't let $400,000 Joe complete a key pass.
Oh well, I guess we would be the same way if we were theih.
(I hope not! ! !)
Former Auburn Coach . . .
Coach Carl Voyles, Auburn football coach in 1944-47, was
at the practice field one day during spring training.
Coach Voyles said the biggest difference Auburn athletics
now and when he was here is that "Auburn is winning now."
Johnny Adcock and Gusty Yearout came by and spoke to the
former Auburn coach. Coach Voyles smiled as he recalled that
W.e fathers of the present Auburn players had played for him.
Coach Voyles was highly complimentary on the job Coach
Jordan and his staff were doing with the team.
Formby In Summer . . .
With this column, I turn this space over to Jim Formby
who will be sports editor of the summer Plainsman. Good Luck
Jim. You'll need it ! ! !
In closing, let me thank Alan Hinds and Roy Riley for the
excellent help they have given me as assistants. From what I
hear, Alan will follow in Ron Mussig's footsteps and defect to
the Glomerata next fall. It's been a pleasure working with
Alan and I wish him well in his new position.
To each of the writers .thanks for the help you've given
and a word of warning . . . come back ready to work in the
fall.
Before I turn this column over to Jim and depart for West
Alabama for the summer, I'd like to say one thing . . . All
summer long, let's all Stand Up For Auburn with one thought
in mind . . . BEAT BAM A!
Unless of course it's a box of Hollingsworth's candies. Any
other gift would be an insult to her ego . . . and to yours. •

Tiger Trio
Selected
All-SEC
Senior Frank Fryer and jun­iors
Scotty L o n g and Q. V.
Lowe were selected on the 1966
All-SEC baseball team.
Fryer, who was nosed out
of the honorary position last
year, led Auburn with consis­tent
hitting and fine defensive
play at his leftfield position.
Footballer S c o t t y Long's
heavy hitting in the latter half
of the season earned him all
conference honors at the short­stop
position.
Hurler Q. V. Lowe, ace of the
Tiger pitching staff, was one
of three conference pitchers
chosen as the best.
Long and Lowe will be back
next year to form the nucleus
for Coach Paul Nix's team.
The Tigers will be trying to
regain the Southeastern Confer­ence's
eastern division crown
next year. Auburn had won the
title for three straight years
before Tennessee took the
crown this year.-
The presence of two 1966 All-
SEC performers will not dis­appoint
Coach Nix as he plans
his strategy to get back in the
thrown room.

Auburn Athletes Active
In Christian Fellowship
By ROY RILEY
A u b u r n ' s athletes have played a major role in t he
development of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes
in Alabama. Auburn established the first chapter in
t h e state in 1962 a n d since then, the Alabama FCA has
grown by leaps and bounds.
The national federation was
established in 1951 by baseball
tycoon Branch Rickey, a Pres­byterian
preacher named Lewis
Evans, and a college basketball
coach named Dan McClanan.
"It was founded all over the
country with the idea of ath­letics
and Christianity" said
Jerry Elliott, assistant football
coach who serves as faculty
sponsor to the group.
Auburn sent footballers Jim­my
Sidle, Mike Helms, and Da­vid
Rawson and basketball star
John Blac.cwell to the national
convention in 1962 and since
then, Auburn athletes have
spoken in every area of the
state and helped establish FCA
chapters at other colleges and
high schools within the state.
FCA GROWING
"Our group has r e a l ly
grown," Elliott said. "After the
first national convention, our
boys went all over the state to
speak and encourage the or­ganization
of other chapters.
Since then, we haven't been
able to fill all the requests."
Last year, at the national
convention, the delegation from
Alabama was the largest of the
delegations there.
"We hope to send 20 boys to
the national meeting this year,"
Elliott said. "It will be in Black
Mountain, N.C. from June 5-
10."
The conference promises to
be one of the biggest ever as
many big name sports stars will
appear. "People such as Fran
Tarkenton, Don Shinnic, Bill
Wade, Ramond Berry, Clyde
Lee, Bill Bradley, Paul Ander­son,
Frank Broyles, and Paul
Dietzel will be there," he said.
Baylor University head foot­ball
coach John Bridgers, an
Auburn graduate, is the presi­dent
of the national chapter
THREE-FOLD PURPOSE
The FCA has three main pur­poses:
"We come together for fel­lowship
in Christian growth,"
Elliott said. "We also want to
serve the cause of Christ
through the church of one's
choice, and we want to be of
service by witnessing to other
youth."
During the state high school
track meet on May (3, a special
FCA meeting was held for the
track performers. Elliott said
that other meetings for high
school athletes would be held
in the near future.
It is a consensus idea that
the organization's benefit is a
sharing of ideas of the athletes.
PLAYERS GOOD
Marvin Tucker junior line­backer,
felt that the group
"gives a chance for athletes to
come together to talk of the
more important things in life."
Bobby Buisson. senioi bas­ketball
guard, commented that
"the FCA presents a means for
a mutual exchange of religious
beliefs that helps to form in­dividual
opinions."
Richard Wood, junior defen­sive
tackle, felt that its worth-whileness
was the chance to
"say what is on y o u r mind
about the problems that faces
the college athletes."

MUSCLEMAN RAY TIMMONS
Ray Timmons Biceps
Have Earned Awards
By MEL PULLIAM
The name of Ray Timmons might not mean much to
many students on the A u b u r n campus, but t h a t ' s only
because t h e sport that he's in isn't played up much, pub­licity-
wise.
Ray, a senior majoring in physical education at Au­burn,
became interested in the
art of body building and weight
lifting two years ago, shortly
before transferring to the Plains
from Southwest Jr. College,
McComb, Miss., where he play­ed
football and ran track.
Looking like the "after" pic­ture
in a Charles Atlas ad, Ray
weighs a muscular 178. He
gained 20 pounds after begin­ning
his body training scnedule.
His body measurements arc, to
say the least, somewhat larger
than the average male's. His
neck measures 16V4", biceps,
17"; chest, 44"; waist, 29";
thighs, 25"; and calves, 16".
BODY-BUILDING
DIFFERENT
"Actually, weight lifting is
entirely different from body
building," Ray said. "In weight
lifting, you lift almost entirely
to gain strength. In body build­ing,
you work each body part
overall—so that they're pro­portionate
to each other."
Timmons is currently repre­senting
the Physical Fitness
Health Club in his hometown
of Columbus, Ga., but he's also
competed f o r larger health
clubs in Atlanta. His list of a-wards
is impressive.

HOLDS EIGHT TITLES
His biggest and most recent
accomplishment was b e i ng
named "Mr. Southern States,"
a contest held in Atlanta two
weeks ago. Other major titles
that he holds are: Mr. Colum­bus,
Mr. Port City, Mr. Twin
City, Most Muscular Physique
in Alabama, Georgia, Tennes­see,
and Mr. Southern States.
He also came in second in the
overall in the Mr. Georgia con­test.
In t h e Southern States
contest, Timmons gained re­venge
and defeated Mr. Geor­gia,
who had previously won
the latter contest.
JUDGES SELECTION
Timmons pointed out five
general categories on which the
judges base their decision in
selecting body building win­ners.
"They give five points
each for first place, four points
for second, and so on down the
line for each category."
"First, there's over-all ap­pearance.
Next comes over-all
build, or proportion. The third
thing they look for is the mus­cularity
of the contestant. Poise
also counts. Last, and maybe
the most important, the judges
take into consideration how you
present yourself—your posing
routine, in other words."
LENGTHY WORKOUTS
What sort of training sche­dule
does Ray have? "I work
out two and half hours every
other day," he said. "Coach
Martinque's physical education
class has helped me keep my

President Harry M. Philpott is a firm believer in a well-rounded
program of physical fitness for all students attend­ing
Auburn University. He candidly expressed his views
on the overall spectrum of Auburn athletics in an interview
with the Plainsman earlier this quarter.
Commenting on the role physical education should play
in college life, President Philpott said, "It is quite obvious
that athletics has a very important role in the college
program. The University has an obligation to provide an
athletic program for all students. This is done through
required physical education intramural athletics, and, for
those who participate, intercollegiate athletics.
"We need to encourage physical development of all
students. We have an obligation to provide recreational
experiences at Auburn that will give the students an outlet
for their leisure time activities after he has left the uni­versity."
President Philpott called attention to several areas in
the physical education program that he plans to improve.
"We are lacking a swimming program because we don't
have a swimming pool. One of the reasons that I am in­terested
in having a swimming pool and am going to see
that we do have one is that this is a sport that students
can continue for most of their lives.
"Golf is another activity that fits into this- category.
There will be some students who will be able to play on
Softball and maybe touch football after they graduate, but
we need to concentrate on such individual sports as tennis,
swimming, goltf, perhaps handball, and others that students
can follow through in the future."
President Philpott. has some interesting comments in
regard to the intercollegiate athletic program. He said,
"The intercollegiate program has, in my opinion, been of
real benefit to this.institution.
"There are those who decry, and I think rightly so, when
it gets out of proportion to the institution's endeavors, but
certainly the athletic program at Auburn has contributed to
the building of the Auburn spirit and loyalty."
"The only quarrel I haveis with those people, alumni
let's say, who want to win at any price. An intercollegiate
program has to harmonize with the educational ends of the
university. By that I mean that we are going to play with
qualified students and not tramp athletes.
"We all want to win; the desire to b ea winner is a
natural desire. I am not, however, an exponent of this
philosophy that winning is everything, nor do I subscribe to
those who say that it beats anything that is sec ond. I
want to win according to the rules, and within the context
of an educational institution. I'm not disturbed when we
don't win all the time. One of the thing Auburn can be
proud of is the fact that over the year in the sports in
which it participates, it has probably the finest athletic
record in the conference."
President Philpott reiterated the importance of all fields
of varsity athletic competition. He added, "I'm not just
interested in winning in football. I like to see a balanced
athletic program. My interest in winning in other sports
is just as great as it is in football. Some of these institu-

game series with Georgia

posted a five hitter as the
Tigers shut out Tech 1-0 in the

season on a losing note, how­ever,

hurlers to take an easy 13-3
win in a contest played during
a steady rain.
J. W. Blane and Randy Car­roll
each slugged out three hits
I and drove in 10 of Tech's 13
runs as the Jackets handed
Auburn its 11th loss of the sea­son.
Ben McDavid made his
first start of the year and took
the loss as the Jackets reached
him for three runs in less than
one inning. Paul Bovert came
on with two outs in the first
to end the inning, but Tech did
not wait long to work on Bo­vert.
The Jackets pushed across
nine more runs against Bovert
as they were aided by nine
walks and five timely hits.
The Tigers picked up single
runs in the first, second and
fifth innings on Roger Boozer's
home run and RBI's by Harry
Doles and Scotty Long. Bud
Moore limited Auburn to six
hits as he posted his second win
of the year over Auburn.

Therefore, the first criterion
was interest as well as ability.

that the teams 1 have chosen

Players To Pacts
Auburn once again have

The three signed—D e n n i s
Womack, George Simmons, and
Greg Golden —all from Gulf
Coast Junior College, will join
former teammates Q. V. Lowe
and Jim Blauser, now pitching
for Auburn.
"These five were perhaps the
nucleus of Gulf Coast's baseball
team that finished second in the
nation last year," said Coach
Nix.
"Womack," commented Nix,
"is a good defensive outfield­er.
He's a hard worker, runs
well and is a team ballplayer."
George Simmons, experienced
at three positions: outfield, pit­cher,
and first base, "was sign­ed
with the idea, of using him
more as pitcher.".Simmons is a
<-.-2 190 pounder, a good hitter
and has what Coach Nix calls
'tough-nose aggressiveness.'"
Golden, a second baseman, is
classified as "a good glove man,
speedy and a hard competitor,"
according to Nix.
"We're going to use all these
ballplayers," said Coach Nix.
"we're a lot better off having
them t h a n we would if we
hadn't signed them."

Auburn's Golf Team Ends Successful Season;
Best Record Yet For Tiger Golfers In Six Years
By TY COPPINGER
Auburn's golf team ha9
completed its sixth and
most successful season un­der
Coach Anthony "Son­ny"
Dragoin.
The Tigers finished their dual
match season with the best rec­ord
ever for an Auburn golf
team, 11-3. The three losses
were to Florida State, Georgia,
and Georgia Tech. They aveng­ed
the loss to the Bulldogs by
beating them 10-8 on the Au­burn
course. In Southeastern
Conference play they were 4-1.
McGEE LOWEST
Randy McGee, a junior from
Montgomery, was the number
one man all season. He had the
lowest stroke average of any of
the golfers, a one over par 73.2.
Only three strokes separated
the top seven members of the
squad. Tom Flint finished sec­ond
with a 74 average while
Cam Hardigree (74.1), Craig
Clemons (74.6), Mike Keeble
(75), and Jack Littleton (76.4)
finished out the team.
KAMA DROPPED TWICE
A major highlight of the sea­son
was the two victories over
cross-state rival Alabama. The
Tigers defeated the Tide 9V2-
8V2 on the Indian Hills course,
one of the toughest in Birm­ingham.
McGee shot a one over
par 73, which was six strokes
better than any of the Alabama
team.
Their second victory over the
Crimson Tide came in a trian-
