New Center Named
In Honor Of Allison
By State Legislature
A teacher and scientist who
gave half a lifetime to Auburn
University, two new elements to
i the world, and at 81 continues
fulltime teaching and research,
will have a public building with
international implications named
in his honor.
The man- is Dr. Fred Allison.
The building, to be known
as the Fred Allison Laboratory,
is the physics complex of the new
triple-unit Physical Science Center
to open at Auburn in the fall."
Built at a cost of more than $3
million, the" Center is as enormous
and comprehensive as the neoteric
studies it will encompass.
An act of legislature is required
to name a public building in Alabama
for a living person. "It is
an honor I never expected," Dr.
Allison said, "It brings a genuine
sense of humility."
iDr. Allison was head of the physics
department at Auburn from
1922 until his compulsory retirement
"at the age of 70 in 1953. Often,
referred to as Auburn's "Mr.
Physics," Dr. Allison began his
Auburn career as the only full-time-
man in the department, ope-

Auburn Obtains Record State Allocation;
Appropriation Bill Passes Unanimously
A record state appropriation
for Auburn University was passed
without a dissenting vote in the
Alabama Senate Tuesday. Auburn's
share of the education appropriation
measure is $9,734,602
for the 1963-64 school year, which
is an increase of $1,860,880. The
bill provides an additional $387,-
430 for Jhe.following year..
— Earlier the House of Representatives
had approved exactly the
same bill. Neither presiding offi-ficer
of the two houses of the
State Legislature had signed the
'Loveliest Of The Plains'
bill last Wednesday. The signature
of Gov. George C. Wallace
also is needed to make the bill
official. No delay in acquiring the
signatures is anticipated.
Although t h e $186 million
measure represents a 21.67 per
cent increase in state appropriations,
the overall AU budget will
be increased by only 11 per cent.
Education leaders, including
those representing Auburn, had
sought senate consideration of the
bill throughout a filibuster on a
disputed installment loan bill.
When the Senate voted Tuesday to
set aside consideration of the latter
bill for two legislative days,
the way was clear for passage of
the education measure.
Education representatives still
are seeking passage of a bill which
would provide conditional appropriation
increases if revenue exceeds
.the amount on which were
based the figures in the bill just
adopted.
The $186 million for the coming
year represents an increase of $38
million over the current year's
figure.
Education Head To Speak
At Graduation Exercises
Commencement speaker for
summer exercises at Auburn University
Aug. 24 will be Dr. Win-fred
L, Godwin, director of the
S o u t h e r n Regional Education

Auburn ROTC Cadets
Receive Honor Rating
By KIRBY RALEY
Thirty-six Auburn advanced
ROTC cadets were recently recommended
by the summer camp
commander at Fort Benning to
receive the honor of being distinguished
military students upon
the completion of summer camp.
Cadet Benjamin W. Breedlove
had the highest summer camp
grade among Auburn's cadets. All
cadets' grades were based on their
display of leadership ability and
the results of academic tests on
military subjects.
The qualifications a cadet must
meet for distinguished military
student honors are: recommendation
by the summer camp commander,
academic excellence at
Auburn, and demonstrated leadership
in ROTC at Auburn.
The final list of distinguished
military students will be released
in September by Col. A. G. W.
Johnson, Auburn's professor of
military science.
Registration Process
Planned For Library
Student registration f o r fall
quarter will be conducted in the
university library, according to
announcement by R e g i s t r ar
Charles Edwards. The new location
of registration headquarters
will place all functions of the registration
process in one building.
Directions for reporting to registration
will be included with
the registration permits sent tp all
former students via mail. Information
will be supplied to freshman
during the orientation process.
Deans and Dean's checkers will
be in the library for original schedule
planning. The student will
then proceed to another section of
draw class cards. Registrar's
checkers will be posted in another
section. Fee payment personnel,
I.D. cards and Glomerata picture
cards will also have facilities
available in the library.
Centralized registration is expected
to cut registration time of
the individual student in half, according
to registration officials.
The former registration process
at Auburn has consistently drawn
complaints from students because
of the widespread location of facilities
and the amount of time
required to complete the process.
Students were formerly required
to proceed from their individual
schools to Biggin Hall and to the
Union Building before registration
could be completed.
DR. WINFREO GODWIN
AU Science Center
Opens Fall Quarter
By GARY WIN8ETT
When t h e physical sciences
center opens in September, Auburn
University students and faculty
will realize the advantages
of the largest building project in
Auburn University history.
According to Col. Funchess, director
of t h e building and
grounds department, the opening
of this triple-unit physical sciences
center will affect more people
than any other construction project
in the history of Auburn. He
pointed out that this change will
require a- complete re-orienting
of parking facilities. At the same
time, much of the congestion in
the old campus area will be relieved.
The center will h o u s e the
school of chemistry, department
of mathematics, physics department,
computer laboratory, a
subcritical reactor, and a proposed
planetarium.
The central building of t he
center will be the commons
building,, which will provide offices
and classrooms for the entire
center. Included in this cen*
tral structure will be six auditoriums
which can seat up te
250 students each.
Radiating from the commons
building^ill be walkways which
lead to the two other buildings.
One will house the physics department,
and the other will furnish
facilities for the school of
chemistry and the department flt
mathematics.
The final inspection of the
work completed by the general
contractor at a cost of more than
$3,000,000 was made Monday «t
last week. The installation of permanent
laboratory equipment*
which is under a separate contract,
will be completed by Set»
tember 1st at a cost nearly one*
half million dollars. , j

Something New Every Day
Music Professor Recounts Past Events Facu"y Feafure • •: Engineering Dean Presents Address
Of Auburn University's Previous Years
By JIM YEAMAN
"I can rememtier the Music
Department when it was located
over Toomer's Drug Store, and
when dogs used to sleep in Lang-don
Hall": recollections of Auburn
University 17 years ago, by
Edgar Glyde, now Professor of
Music at Auburn.
Born at Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex,
England in 1904, Professor
Glyde started his music career at
the age of seven under the direction
of Frederick Knight. Violin
and pianoforte were studied under
Mr. Knight. While in attendance
at the Royal Academy of
Music, Professor Glyde studied
violin, violin cello, and theory,
composition and musicology.
Degrees earned by Professor
Glyde include L.R.A.M. for Violin
(Licentiate of the Royal Academy
of Music,) L.T.C.L. for Violin
(Licentiate of Trinity College
of Music at London), L.Mus.T.C.
L. for Composition and Musicology
(Licentiate in Music of Trini
ty College of Music), and F.T.C.
L. (Fellow of Trinity College of
Music) awarded by Trinity College
in recognition of 10 years
service as Local Secretary of Examinations
for Western Canada

rating with one half-time assistant
in the basement of Samford
Hall.
The new Physical Sciences Center,
housing also the School of
Chemistry, the Computor Laboratory,
the Mathematics Department,
a sub-critical reactor and proposed
planetarium only points up the
accomplishments and need for research
in the space age, according
to Dr. Allison.
The world-renowned scientist
•—who, with his Auburn colleagues
in 1932 published the first
evidence of the existence of deuterium,
the heavy isotope basic to
the hydrogen bomb—refuses to retire.
Also dean of the graduate
school from 1948-1953, Dr. Allison
said, "I tried to retire and
couldn't."
After taking "a couple -of
months off," the dedicated teacher
and scientist returned to his alma
mater, Emory and Henry College
in Virginia to become chairman
of the Science Division.
In 1955 Dr. Allison began a new
teaching career at Huntingdon
College, where he is currently
professor of physics.
from 1931 to 1941.
After teaching and playing in
England, Professor Glyde came
to Canada in 1929. He joined the
Vancouver, B.C. Symphony Orchestra,
playing violin. He was a
member of this orchestra for 10
years. During this time, he was
also a member of the studio orchestra
of the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation at Vancouver,
B.C. playing in all kinds of
ensemble work, both orchestral
and chamber music.
World War H interrupted the
musical career of Edgar Glyde as
he joined the staff of the De
Havilland Aircraft Company of
Canada in 1942, and worked as a
senior draftsman on the plans of
the Mosquito Bomber.
As the War neared conclusion,
Professor Glyde joined the famous
Hart House String Quartet,
touring the United States a nd
Canada as a violinist. As one of
his 175 concerts in colleges, universities
and the major cities,
Professor Glyde played in the
then unimproved Langdon Hall
at Alabama Polytechnic Institute
in March of 1946. The following
June, Professor Glyde and h i s
family moved to Auburn to join
Hollace Arment and Hubert Li-verman,
then the two members of
the Music Department of API.
All the musical ability of the
Edgar Glyde family is not found
in Professor Glyde alone. His
wife Dorothy is a cellist and
teacher, playing with the university
orchestra for the p a s t 17
years. His o l d e s t daughter,
Wendy, a junior at Auburn, is also
an accomplished musician, playing
the violin and organ. Judy, a
sophomore at Chattanooga, is a
violinist, and Rosemary, a sophomore
at Auburn H i g h School,
plays the violin arid piano.
Professor Glyde is the director
of the university orchestra. He
teaches courses, both on the graduate
and undergraduate levels on
such topics as the history of music,
music in. the culture, conducting
and instrumental literature.
Published w o r k s of Edgar
Glyde include the New Horizon
March, written for Dr. Draughon;
a theory book; and a research
paper for the Auburn Research
Foundation entitled: The Violin
and Viola.
Professor Glyde was initiated
into Phi Kappa Phi in April of
1960. He has always felt that
music has a place in any curriculum.
"A university without a
good music department is not a
complete university."

* A ^ >
To Alabama Professional Engineers
DR. EDGAR GLYDE
Professor Glyde is deeply indebted
to the student body and
townspeople for the good response
shown in the attendance
at the many concerts of the university
orchestra. "It must be understood
that the university orchestra
is a teaching organization,
rather than an organization devoted
s o l e l y to entertaining,
therefore, some, of the works performed
are sometimes beyond the
experience of the young players.
However, this is necessary from
an educational point of view."
It is necessary for engineering
education to come of age, in view
of the profession's progress in recent
years, Auburn University's
dean of engineering told members
of the Northeast Alabama chapter
- of the Alabama Society of
Professional Engineers at the
Huntsville Industrial C e n t er
Thursday.
Dean Fred H. Pumphrey pointed
out that rapid progress in engineering
professionalism is being
made, even though the traditional
relationship between the professional
and his client differs from
that of the engineer employed by
industry or government.
The engineer has hammered
out new patterns of professionalism
in the last 20 years, Dean
Pumphrey said, and with the
growth of professional status, responsibilities
of all engineers to
the profession has become greater.
"Our ASPE has proposed membership
in the Alabama Interprofessional
Council. This is the
first step in accepting that responsibility
by assisting in the
development of a joint program
for the professions which will
make the greatest contribution to
society and give maximum benefit
to the members of the professions,"
the Auburn official
said.
As to how this might affect engineering
education in the South,
east, Dean Pumphrey gave several
examples.
"With the improving professional
status, a much better education
in the humanities is required
to assume our proper responsibilities
in civic and political
affairs," said Dean Pumphrey.
"The explosion of scientific
knowledge has been so great that
material cannot be covered in the
same time it was 20 years ago,"
Dean Pumphrey declared, adding,
"It doesn't make sense to me to
try to accomplish all of this in
four years."
Engineering is the only "learned"
profession attempting an educational
job in four years, while

Compulsory Bible Reading
We cannot agree with the decision of the State Board
of Education to make daily Bible reading compulsory in
Alabama public schools. A board resolution stated that the
recent Supreme Court ruling against Bible reading was a
"calculated effort to take God out of the public affairs of
this nation."
;|It seems to us that the court decision was an effort
to^ake God out of the hands of government and place the
deistic training in the hands of the home and church
where it of right belongs. Public schools are governmental
institutions.
There are further questionable aspects of the state
board declaration which we feel deserving of an answer.
1) The board decision makes reference to the Holy Bible.
Which particular version does the the state board have in
mind, or does it plan for the schools to use different versions
on different days? 2) What happens to a particular
schoolteacher who might object to conducting religious
exercises in a public school?
The State. Board of Education resolution will not in
reality change current practices of Bible reading in the
public schools to any large degree. It is the overt 'defiance'
attitude which concerns us. The strength of this nation is
built upon its respect for law. We do not have to like a
given law. We have legislative recourse to change any law
that we don't like. Defiance usually gains us nothing but
additional trouble. The period of 1861-65 was supposed to
have proved this point.
A Time To Cram
Final examinationse are fast approaching. It is a time
when we must in fairness to ourselves cease and desist
from social activities. Summer quarter grades will determine
the college careers of many students on the campus.
Most of us by now probably realize the absurdity of
the emphasis placed on grades. Unfortunately, they are
the center of our academic universe. They are commodities
that the system demands of us in honor point abundance.
For the uninitiated, we might recall some statistics
accumulated here which are supposed to border on authenticity.
They sound reasonable. An Auburn student has
approximately a 5% chance to raise his grade in a course
on the final exam. His chances of maintaining the same
grade are approximately 80%. Consequently, there is a
15% chance of a grade drop. Admittedly, the figures are
little more than rumor. They do at least serve to show the,
great effort required of students in facing the last regular
exams and the finals.
We will all fare much better if we recognize "Dead
Week" for what it is supposed to be.
The Registration Change
The decision of the university to change registration
from a marathon race between buildings to one centralized
location is one of the best proposals to come out of Sam-ford
Hall in some time.
All aspects of the registration process from schedule
planning to fee payment will be held in the University
library. The time involved in individual registration should
be cut in half. President Draughon and Registrar Charles
Edwards' committee are to be congratulated for this decisive
action.
There are problems which could easily arise from holding
registration in the new library. A little consideration
on the part of students can easily avert any disturbance
over the new procedure. There can be no smoking in the
fibrary during registration except in designated smoking
rooms. There is no cause to handle books or related items
during the registration process.
We can show our appreciation to the school for facilitating
the registration process simply by following the
directions for conduct while registering.

What Price Glory
Recent Military Directive Will Strike
Most Fundamental Levels Of Society
By George McMillan
Edmund Burke once said that he
knew of no method of drawing an
indictment against a whole people.
President Kennedy has found it
easy, indeed. The controversial report
made by a presidential committee
of non-military men and
the subsequent directive issued
by Secretary of Defense McNa-mara—
against his wishes, we are
told—showed only the latest and
more effective methods he has devised.
This directive is only part of
a powerful drive to give the federal
government power to regiment
and control society and economy
at the most fundamental levels,
a drive now being used to
force the South to comply with
political policies which could
throw its society into chaos.
On July 26, McNamara issued
the directive entitled "Equal Opportunity
in the Armed Forces."
The title is a misnomer, for the
directive calls for the military departments
to issue instructions regarding
"equal opportunities" on
and off-base and to put these into
effect. The order gives military
base commanders power to declare
whole towns "off limits" if these
towns practice "relentless discrimination"
and to award commanders
promotions in proportion to
their zeal and effectiveness in this
field. It provides for the creation
of yet another unnecessary and expensive
office, Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Civil
Rights, another title which is misleading,-
for the appointee takes
orders not from the Defense Department,
but from the Attorney
General, Kennedy. Is Mr. Kennedy
trying to deceive us with
words?
The job of the Defense Department
is not to maintain an organization
for social reform, but
to provide for the defense of the
U. S. Senator John Stennis of the
Armed Services committee declares,
"This is the first and only
time in our history that our military
commanders have been given
to understand that the process
of measuring progress for themselves
and their installations will
depend on how strongly they enforce
a political policy and upset
off-base orders."
The directive breaks a basic
American tradition of separation
of the military and political
branches of government. Senator
Stennis warns it may be only the
beginning. If political activity is
condoned and encouraged in this
field, the President may someday
be unable to remove the military
from other political activity that
could follow. Has not this been
true in revolutionary South America
and elsewhere?
Why has such a dangerous break
with reasonable tradition been
made at this time? Feel certain
that it is no accident. The most
extreme "civil rights" bills ever
submitted to Congress are now in
hearings. The President has demanded
almost unlimited power
in education, elector qualifications,
public accommodations, employment,
and federal grants; he
has stated his "real desire" to get
a Negro Cabinet member this year
(note, ptease, what his criterion is
—race). He and his brother have
forced the promotions of Negroes
in civil service over better qualified
whites; have toadied to Adam
Clayton Powell who says, "The
white man is on the run. Now's
the time to keep him on the run."
They have countenanced a summer
full of Negro violence. Kennedy
has stopped arms shipments
to the pro-Western Gold Coast
because it is segregated (Never
mind Yugoslavia; it's only communist).
The list of absurdities is almost
endless, but all of Kennedy's actions
can be translated into one
sentence: The gentleman wants to
be re-elected—at any cost. But
what price glory? Must we sacrifice
all law, order, and common
sense that might remain vestigial
in the U. S. to the wild, chaos-engendering
demands of an obviously
disorderly and unreasonable
minority?
Must we allow the South—or
any other section of America—
to be forced to play the Kennedy
political whipping-boy? All parts
of Congress are growing increasingly
uneasy at the ruthless power
tactics of the brothers Kennedy on
every level; and it is time to grow
uneasy, and say, like the Roman,
that these men have a lean and
hungry look and such men are
dangerous. And let. us only say
No! to part of their chicanery; let
us say No! to all of it—to them. If
we do not, we must be prepared
to accept the consequences—and
dire ones they seem.

It was some years ago that we
had the opportunity of meeting
Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee.
As small boys are prone to
be, we were greatly impressed by
the meeting and have followed
the senator's career ever since.-
Estes Kefauver acquired earjy
h i s reputation
as a " g a n g'
buster." He began
h i s senatorial
career
by defeating--, a
c a n didate of
Tennessee's famous
C r u mp
machine. National
prominence
was first
a c q u i r e d by
the s e n a t or
through his nationally televised
racket committee hearings.
National politics beckoned Sen.
Kefauver in 1952, and he welcomed
the invitation. The senator
fought hard in 1952 and in 1956
to become the Democratic candidate
for the presidency. Both his
attempts were unsuccessful. Ke-fauver's
only consolation was the
vice-presidential nomination in
1956. He thus became the only
man who has defeated John F.
Kennedy in an open election.
Estes Kefauver was among the
first of a group of new Southern
liberals who fought for the rights
of the Southern working man. He
was a major factor in congressional
endeavors to promote the
growth and development of the
Tennessee Valley Authority. His
efforts in this area have greatly
increased the physical welfare of
North Alabama and Tennessee.
Old age benefits, health legislation,
higher minimum w a ge
standards, and civil rights were
all issues that Kefauver supported.
The Kefauver personality was
the item which remembered him
to most people. With coonskin
cap and the giant paw f r om
which came h i s famous handshake,
Kefauver stumped the
state of Tennessee and the nation
for some 25 years.
Humor was a trademark of the
former All-American end from
the University of Tennessee. The
story of the coonskin cap is illustrative.
Charged by the Crump
machine in the senatorial campaign
of 1946 with being Truman's
pet coon, Kefauver pointed
to the tail of the coonskin cap
and stated, "You will notice that
it has rings around the tail, but
not through the nose."
Kefauver liked people. I can
remember sitting astride the huge
replica of the Democratic donkey
in his office for pictures. A somber
look of compassion crossed
the senator's face as he remarked,
"Donkeys are sometimes a lot like
people. Through no fault of their
own, they both are often mere
beasts of burden. The more fortunate
among us have an obligation
to help them." A Washington
secretary once remarked, that
Sen. Kefauver could place names
and faces by the hundreds.
Estes Kefauver died Saturday
morning of a heart attack. A
small boy's notes are the only
visible remains that we have of
a good Southerner. They will not
be lost from memory.

Education for Democracy
The Plainsman concludes today
a series entitled "Education for
Democracy" as an editorial service
to its readers. Articles are reprinted
by permission from The
Royal Bank of Canada Monthly
Letter.
Education for
Democracy
As we seek solutions to our
most urgent problems, we turn to
education for help and guidance.
It is a fatal mistake to believe
that democratic education consists
of teaching children some
facts about our government and
making them learn the provisions
<pi the British North America Act.
The survival of democracy depends
upon the ability of large
numbers of people to make real-.
istic choices in the light of adequate
information.
The principal task of education
in the interests of democracy is
to enlighten and discipline the
minds of students, to teach, them
how to think clearly, to communicate
intelligibly, to analyze
•logically, to judge decently, to
decide intelligently, to cultivate
their curiosity and to release
their powers of creativity.
Other systems of living call for
uncritical acceptance of a dictatorship's
propaganda; our democratic
system seeks reasoned conviction.
Canada needs broadly
educated men and women in all
fields of endeavour, so that sound
judgment operates u p o n sound
knowledge.
Who is responsible?
Every institution in society is
constantly teaching its members,
molding their behavior, contributing
to their development. Democracy
is not a formless crowd.
' I t is made up of groups, characterized
by face-to-face relationships:
the family, the church, the
'.school, the workshop.
From marriage, the association
of two persons, .up to Parliament,
representative of all the people
in Canada, we have thousands of
organizations. However different
their interests or emphases, education
for responsible freedom is
Letter To The Editor . . . .
Two Students Criticize
Mag Hall Counselors
Editor, The Plainsman,
Reformatory or dormitory?
Magnolia dormitory is run by a
group of counselors headed by a
group-of graduate counselors. A
majority of residents of this dorm
do not know these graduate counselors
by name or sight; yet these
counselors t e l l these residents
what they can do, where they can
do it, when they can do it, and
how they can do it. By doing this,
these graduate counselors, take
away the job of t h e division
counselors.
Did we pay $60 to be pushed
around by graduate counselors or
for a place to live and study?
Supposedly it was p a i d for a
place to live and study, but these
graduate counselors think it was
paid for the opportunity to be
pushed around by them. If the
$60 is being paid for this purpose,
then the resident is wasting his
money because the armed services
will pay him for the opportunity
to push him around.
It is time that something! is
done about this over-exercising
of authority. Sure, these graduate
counselors can say that you don't
have to live in the dormitory,
hut with the housing situation! as
it is, it seems like it would J be
better to do something about
these graduate counselors than, to
lose • the majority of Magnolia
residents. j

in their hands. It is a process that
begins with birth—for democracy
is not inherited—and ends only
with death. Fragmented institutions,
each dealing with a small
fraction of human requirements,
must have t h i s central theme
running through their work, because
it is essential to their individual
and collective success.
Nor is education for democracy
something needed only by young
people. The world is not standing
still until the children of today
take over. The adults, too, need
education, because they must
continue to act while their children
are preparing.
Study groups, meeting in neighbor's
homes, are an example of
one way to learn about democracy.
Whether they read and apply
to modern times the Teachings
of Epictetus or read and dis-euss
factual Teports of present
day events, t h e y are learning
about h o w the democracy of
Canada links them as neighbors
and with the "welfare of all the
world.
The democracies believe in
open discussion as an indispensable
preliminary to wise action.
It is the source of social wisdom.
It is the only way by which we
can make s o m e approach to
knowing the whole of a subject.
University Retains
Sufficient Ph.D/s
By GEORGE WELLS
Dr. Robert C. Anderson, executive
vice-president of Auburn
University, released information
.recently concerning the rapidly-spreading
rumors that the university
will be understaffed this fall
quarter. There has been a special
concern revolving around the loss
of doctorate professors in the last
several months. Anderson made
the following comments and released
these statements.
Of the doctorate teachers at
Auburn lost during the 1962-63
school year, approximately 80 per
cent have already been replaced.
The university "is further planning
to completely restore the
lost teachers.
Auburn's teaching staff of 1962-
63 embodied 546 faculty members.
This figure which does not
include temporary instructors or
the researching faculty which is
made up of 244 doctorate professors
and 302 instructors with lesser
degrees. Dr. Robert C. Anderson,
Auburn's executive v i ce
president, said that this 45 per
cent ratio is well above the national
average.
Dr. Anderson further remarked
that Auburn's staff was adequately
staffed. He said, "Auburn
is also expecting to receive large
appropriations for adding to its
instructing staff." He added, "The
university places the teaching
staff and their salaries as 'number
one' on the list for improvement."
The main note presented to the
legislature for the coming year
dealt with improvement of teacher
salaries. This move is one to
counter the m a i n reason for
teacher losses: salary insufficiency.
An enlargement of our
budget will allow Auburn to
reach out further for more teachers
of doctorate caliber^ according
to Dr. Anderson.
He added that one reason for
this slight decline points to a national
problem: that the United
States is not producing enough
Ph.D.'s. As a result there are fewer
teachers to go around. This
problem is one that definitely
limits Auburn as well as all other
colleges and universities from
getting more and better teachers,
Dr. Anderson said.
Liberal minds
The education we seek for democracy
would tend to produce
mature individuals w i t h minds
that know their rights, acknowledge
their duties and abide their
limitations. The mature person
will hear. courteously, answer
wisely, consider soberly, and decide
impartially.
No one will deny that we must
be literate, but if we are to survive
as a democracy we need to
harness literacy to clearly-seen
ideals and to a sense of the first
rate. We must clarify our values,
so that we want and ask for the
things which are really important.
To acquire democratic greatness
we must understand the nature
of greatness and admire
courage and largeness of soul.
We need to make sure that the
men- and women who enjoy
prominent positions, who are the
most applauded and admired, are
also the most suitable models for
young people to follow. Only then
will society be ready to meet the
challenge of its own future.
Liberal education, the food of
liberal minds, should provide not
only an important body of knowledge
but it should sharpen our
perceptions, cultivate our powers
and analysis, give us insight into
important phases of human activity,
and enable us to have, as a
matter of habit, a valuable point
of view.
It should, too, train us to smile
at our own foibles, to suffer with
grace a joke at our own expense.
Democracy, it cannot be said too
often, is not a matter of high-flown
phrases, stodgy philosophy
and restricting rules. It provides
an environment where a man can
be at home with himself while
being neighborly w i t h all his
fellow-democrats.
As to the future
Democracy should mean, for
individuals and groups and nations,
something toward which
they strive, not something which
they possess.
A new democracy is coming
into being constantly. The democracy
of Canada today would
seem very new indeed to the people
of Athens, and even to those
of England in the eighteenth century.
Democracy can survive only by
its merits, and its strength lies in
recognizing its imperfections. It
will die if we repose like emancipated
slaves content with our
own liberty.
In this t i m e of breathtaking
technological changes and social
upheaval there is need for educated
people who understand the
process and nature of what is
happening and who are able to
cope with it, people whose minds
are idealistic and whose feet are
realistic.
Democracy is a high and difficult
enterprise. Despite all the
checks and balances we devise,
it is not automatic. Intelligence
must never slumber. We need to
enlist the imagination and resources
of our institutions and organizations
in a vigorous effort
to make our education of young j
and old effective in preserving
the values of democracy.

All printed material dealing
with Auburn University is published
by the Publications Office
which is in the University Relations
Department.
The staff of this department
dedicates the major part of its
time to the promotion of Auburn
University.
Mr. L. B. Williams, head of the
Publications O f f i c e , considers
"The Bulletin," the college catalog,
their most important publication.
This book furnishes all
information concerning Auburn,
including a history of the University
and descriptions of each
school, department, and course.
The A.U. telephone directory,
published each year, lists all faculty,
staff, a n d students. The
new directory will be available
in October.
"This is Auburn," a faculty
newspaper, began in June of 1956
as a four-page publication, but
has recently been expanded to
eight pages.
A view book, "Your Career and
Auburn University," is printed
each year for high school seniors
and other potential Auburn students.
In addition to these regular
publications, many pamphlets are
printed temporarily and some permanently.
An example of a temporary one
is "An Investment in Excellence."
This was printed at legislative request
to outline the needs of Auburn:
The High School Relations Office,
established to better coordinate
the university's services to
high schools, publishes a monthly
newsletter, "High School Memo."
Over 1,000 copies are mailed
each month, September through
May, to high school principals
and counselors in Alabama and
parts of Florida and Georgia.
The work of the Publications
Office, Mr. Williams said, falls
into three categories: the general
public, the student body, and the
faculty and staff.
All of these are designed to
contribute to the overall program
of the University Relations Department,
directed by Mr. Edwin
M. Crawford.
Ail Debaters To Argue.
Federal Aid To Students
By GEORGE WELLS
Auburn's debating team will be
discifssing the proposition: "Resolved,
That the federal government
should guarantee an opportunity
for higher education to all
qualified high school graduates."
The final decision of the propositions
was received by Auburn
recently. This proposition was Auburn's
third choice among those
received to choose from. All of the
propositions dealt with federal
aid to education.
Auburn's first choice was: "Resolved,
That the federal government
should guarantee a minimum
level of financial support to all
public education." Its second
choice was: "Resolved, That the
federal government should guarantee
a minimum level of financial
support to elementary and secondary
education by means of
grants to the states."

'Best Sports Coverage In The SEC >CT
AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1963
Tigers In Tuscaloosa . . .
According to reports from the Athletic Department, Auburn's
1963 football signees turned in creditable performances in the high
school all-star game held in Tuscaloosa last weekend. The contest, in
Which the North soundly defeated the South by a 20-6 count, was
Witnessed by most of the Auburn freshmen football coaching staff.
Upon conferring with head freshman coach Vince Dooley and
line coach Lee Griffith, we discovered that 11 Auburn grant-in-aid
owners participated in the contest, while Alabama was represented
by 15 signees. "Two of our boys, Robinson and Jeffers, were the best
linemen in the game," stated Coach Dooley. Larry Jeffers is a guard
from Coffee High in Florence, while John Robinson, also a guard, did
his prepping at Tuscumbia. Both played for the North.
"The most pleasing thing in the whole game," went on Coach
Dooley, "was the passing of Tom Bryan. He has the rare ability
of getting passes off after being rushed." Bryan was voted the 'most
valuable player' on the losing South squad. He hails from Hartford,
where he was one of the best prep quarterbacks in the state.
Lee Griffith stated that Robert Hinds, a halfback from Decatur,
also turned in an outstanding performance at the halfback slot.
According to Griffith's notes, there were 7 potential Tigers on the
North roster and four on the South's squad.
Semifinal Action Begins
In IM League Tourneys
Four Games Now . . .
In commenting on the freshman prospects for this fall, Coach
Dooley thought that the additional game (frosh are now allowed 4
under the SEC ruling instead of the previous 3) "should help with
the morale of the boys somewhat." However, he quickly added that
"we open too soon . . . we play the Florida frosh here the week after
the varsity goes out to Houston . . . the Gator frosh get in more practice
time due to their varsity schedule, since their first game is
September 14."
Tiger signees recently participated in other state high school all-rtar
games. George McKenny, a guard from Atlanta, turned in a
"creditable job" in the Georgia school-boy all-star game. A potential
tackle, Forrest Blue from Tampa, participated in the Florida contest.
Out in the Sooner State, Scotty Long, who inked -a grant-in-aide with
the Tigers last winter, operated at the end position in the Oklahoma
ell-star prep contest.
We thought that it is interesting to note that Wayne Lacy, who
signed a football scholarship with Auburn for this season, was named
the 'most valuable player' in the high school basketball game in South
Carolina.

Summer intramurals terminate
on the plains this week, with
teams vying for championship
honors in Softball and volleyball.
Also scheduled this week, in the
individual sports department, is a
golf tournament with approximately
25 entrants.
Last Thursday Sigma Alpha
Epsilon met and defeated a very
strong softball squad from Auburn
Veterinary Medicine Association
to the tune of 4 to 1. This victory,
coupled with their 17 to 9
trouncing of the Peaches the previous
day, moved the SAE's into
the semifinals, which are being
played this week.
Their opp6nent in the semifinals
is Sigma Nu. The SN's had
advanced to Monday's game by
downing Dorm X2 by a score of
16 to 7, and then finishing off
Tau Kappa Epsilon, 5 runs to
four. »
Fortunately for TKE and AV-MA,
however, the quarter a nd
semifinals were of the double
elimination variety. This meant
that as the losers in last Thursday's
quarterfinal action, they
were afforded one more chance to
advance to t h e semifinals. On
Monday they met in a "do or die"
contest with the victor being r e warded
a s p o t in yesterday's
game, opposite the loser of the
SAE-SN clash. The winner of the
two semifinal games, will meet in
the championship contest today.
Definite dates have not been
set for completion of the volleyball
tournament, due to the fact
that several of the teams participating
in volleyball are also
competing in softball. Officials
are hopeful, however, that any
remaining games will be finished
by tomorrow afternoon.
There have b e e n only three
volleyball playoff games contested
thus far. The Vets (AVMA),
PKT-1, and the Grads, won quarterfinal
berths by defeating (in
the preliminary playdown round)
Division K, SN, and DC-1 respectively.
Between 20 and 25 participants
toured- the links at the Sauga-hatchee
Country Club Monday in
the first day of action of the
summer intramural golf tournament.
Another round will be
played tomorrow, and the medalist
(i.e. the golfer with the lowest
total score for both days) will be
awarded the c u p , symbolic of
victory.
Building Program
Auburn University will put in
applications with the Housing and
Home Finance Agency for loans
to finance the construction of three
women's dormitories and 90
apartment units for married students
in the near future.

9 of 13 field goal attempts and was 3 for 3 from the line for a total of

Strong But Inexperienced End Position
Should Be Ready For Opening Game
By RICK WEBB
One of the more crucial positions
oh the line is that of the
ends. The Auburn end position
will be even more crucial due to
injuries and a tremendous lack of
experience.
According to Head Coach Ralph
Jordan, the end position will be
one of the least experienced positions
on the line; however, this
position possesses some of t he
real competitors on the team.
Taking the lack of experience
into consideration Coach Jordan
is expecting the ends to turn in
a good showing at the end of the
year.
To start things off, Howard
Simpson, a 6'5", 220 pound senior,
•jxrill start at the left end position.
Howard had a lot of trouble with
injuries in the past, but at present
it appears that he will be ready
and willing to play some good
football this season.
At the other flanker position so
far it looks like Ronnie Baynes
will lead the parade. Ronnie is a
jttnior from Talladega. However,
he has been slowed to some extent
by a recent shoulder operation.
If his shoulder heals by post
time, he should have an improved
season.
Bucky Waid, a junior from
Springville, is scheduled to back
up Baynes at right end. Bucky
is a good competitor, is strong,
and has good reflexes.
Tommy Lewis is another sophomore
"with a bright future. Tommy
is from Atlanta. He had a
very^jood spring and should continue
on to have a good sophomore
season.

speed and is a real hustler on the
field. Bogue could be a definite
asset if he develops properly this
year.
Probably the biggest question
mark on the team is Bate Hobbs.
Bate was injured last spring and
missed most of spring practice.
Bate is a big boy and definitely
is a real competitor.
A junior college graduate, Tom
Everson, is a strong contender for
a berth at one of the ends. He is
6'3" and weighs approximately
215 pounds.
Taking the facts into consideration,
Coach Jordan has expressed
faith in the possibilities of such
young players as Rex Bennett
and Ronnie Baynes to develop
and add the finishing touches to
the ends.

Pumphrey Speech...
(Continued from page 3)
t ry all require six and pharmacy
and architecture five years, the
speaker noted.
Dean Pumphrey cited a recent
conversation with Dr. Ralph Morgan,
president of the Engineers'
Council for Professional Development,
the collegiate accrediting
group. The Auburn dean said Dr.
Morgan indicated he expects the
four-year engineering educational
program to remain but predicted
a number of other changes
including omission of most design
and specialization in the
four-year curriculum, elimination
of special designations such as
electrical, aerospace or mechanical
engineering and a shifting of
the accreditation program to the
master's level.
Dean Pumphrey also outlined
the American Society for Engi-

neering Education study program
of undergraduate a n d graduate
educational needs.
"When this research is completed
and a conclusion reached
by the profession on the pattern
of engineering education, we can
expect to follow it for a number
of years," he said.
The Auburn dean serves as a
member of the executive board of
t h e ASEE Projects Operating
Unit which will supervise the
goals study.

Professor Awarded N5F Grant
By LARRY HARWOOD
J. R. Howes, assistant professor
in t h e department of poultry
science, is attending the 6th annual
International Congress of
Nutrition this week on a National
Science Foundation travel grant.
He is to present a paper on
poultry research entitled "The
Effects of Hyperthermia upon the
Energy, Protein, and Calcium Nutrition
and Body Composition of
Poultry," The paper is the result
of research that he conducted at
Auburn in cooperation with Walter
Grub and C. A. Rollo, associate
agricultural engineers in the
department of agricultural engineering.
Howes is the fourth staff member
of the Agricultural Experiment
Station to attend international
meetings in recent months.
Others traveling on similar grants
were Dr. George Hawkins, department
of dairy science, who
traveled to Denmark; Dr. E. C.
Mora, department of poultry
science, to Australia; and Dr. Carl
Hoveland, department of agronomy
and soils, to England.
After returning from Scotland
later this month, Howes will attend
the Sixteenth International
Zoology Congress in Washington,
D.C. He will present a paper con-'
cerning the x-ray diffraction ana-;;
lysis of egg shells as a possible
technique in speciation of birds.
This work was done in cooperation
with Dr. A. N. Heyn, form-,
erly of the department of physics
here.
