Alumnus Donates
$50,000 Fund
For Comer Hall
By JERRY BROWN
An anonymous A u b u rn
alumnus has donated $50,000
for the modernization of Co­mer
Hall according to Dr. E.
V. Smith, dean of the School
of Agriculture.
Dean Smith said that the
donor gave the money because,
in his words, "the School of
Agriculture has done so much
for me and for the people of
Alabama."
Comer Hall, built in honor
of former Gov. B. B. Comer,
once housed all of the present
day divisions of the school.
Modern office suites, some of
which will be paneled in Ala­bama
wood given by the Ala­bama
Forest Products Associa­tion,
will occupy the first floor.
The old foyer will also be
paneled and decorated with a
trophy case.
The upper floors, occupied
by the agricultural economics
department, have already been
renovated.
Speaking of Comer, Dean
Smith said, "This building car­ries
the name of a great Ala­bamian
and a family which has
through the years contributed
much to the future of agricul­ture."
Governor Comer was found­er
of t h e present Avondale
Mills.
INVITATIONS
Graduation invitations will be
available today and tomorrow
from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Student

fkst grant of this kind ever

Wednesday.
Police reports state that the
couple was parked in the ex­perimental
forestry plots about
6 p.m. when the man ap­proached
the car.
The couple said he told them
he was "in trouble" and had
to get away, while demanding
their money at pistol point. He
forced them to drive him away,
although the boy offered him
the car.
The boy was directed to
drive onto an unpaved road
near Chewacla State Park,
forced to remove his clothes
and leave on foot. The youth
made his way to the home of
a forest ranger, from where
police were notified.
Meanwhile, the Negro ord­ered
the girl to drive him
away, but the reportedly took
the wheel himself later. The
girl said he forced her out of
the car and onto the ground
behind a secluded shack, hold­ing
a pistol to her head while
he molested her.
The man then left the girl
and the car. She was return­ing
to Auburn when she was
spotted and brought to police
headquarters. She immediately
retraced the car's route, and
the search for the Negro began
at the point where he report­edly
released her.

Auburn 1963-64: The Place, The Times, The People, The Spirit
By HUNTER SMITH
Auburn is a place, a location,
with buildings, stone and brick
and steel, developing with the
times.
Auburn is this, true, but more
important, Auourn, is people.
The people, the endless line of
entrants, drop-outs, and gradu­ates,
are the mainstay of Au­burn.
They are the institu­tion
of Auburn.
Each of these people con­tributes
to Auburn, either
knowingly or unknowingly,
and each carries a little away
—usually unknowingly.
This "give and take" is the
secret formula that makes an
institution eternal—eternal if
only in the memories of its
wards.
NOT SHOT
The year 1963-64 is not "just
another shot year." Not by a
long shot. It will not soon oe
forgotten. This has been nine
months of expression, of re­juvenation,
of fear and of fear­lessness,
of shocking tragedy
and of successful ideas.
FOOTBALL
To begin with, football-wise,
Auburn surprized the non-Au­burn
experts and speculators by
ending.up fifth in the-nation.
(We knew it all the time!)
Almost as exciting—or per­haps
more so to some Auburn
fans—the tigers broke Ala­bama's
pride (and back) for
the first time in four years.
Worthy of note also was the
$175,000 donated to Auburn by,
an anonymous alumnus.
The Athletic Department con­tributed
the proceeds of the
freshman Auburn - Alabama
game to the Auburn Library.
TRAGEDY
Tragedy — The President
of the United States was as­sassinated
on November 22.
The campus was stunned—as
was the entire nation. All
Americans, whatever their
political leanings, were drawn
together and reminded that
they were Americans.
But time and the river flowed
on . . .
Auburn was entertained by
the Chad Mitchell Trio at the
ODK-Glomerata Beauty Page­ant.
The much respected bas­ketball
coach, J o e l Eaves,
moved on to greener pastures
at the University of Georgia.
The phenomenon of medical
progress touched the plains—
the oral polio vaccine.
More entertainment — the
lively stage and screen star,
Celeste Holm, visited and en­chanted
the * Auburn students.
The Auburn Debate Team
walked away with top awards
at the Southern Speech Associa­tion
Tournament in Houston,
Texas—more honors for the
University.
Then the students were
tested by a local crisis—Au­burn's
first Negro student was
enrolled winter quarter—and
those students passed the test
with dignity and maturity.
Precautions had been taken:
s t a t e patrolmen, student
pledges of non-violence, col­lection
of weapons, but after­wards,
when the dust had
settled, they appeared un­necessary.
ACOLA
ACOIA — the Auburn Con­ference
On International Af­fairs
brought national attention
to the campus. Noted speakers
such as Mrs. Eleanor Lansing
Dulles and columnist Drew
Pearson, among other digni­taries,
drawing perhaps the
largest crowd ever assembled
in the Union Ballroom, gave
their comments on the topic,
"Foreign Aid."
SPRING
Spring quarter saw (along
with a few other things) the
institution of honesty brought
to the students' attention. The
Honor Code was published
and distributed. Village Fair
was "the biggest and best
ever."
Governor Wallace stacked up

Unitarian Beliefs,
Views Explained
By MARY ANNE LYNCH
Unitarianism — what is it,
how did it get started, what are
its doctrines? Practically every­one
today is aware of the fact
that there is a Unitarian church,
but how many of us arc actual­ly
acquainted with its doc­trines?
Today, Unitarians no
longer explicitly think of them­selves
as Christians. They be­lieve
in complete intellectual
freedom and the use of reason
in religion. They ask recita­tion
of no creed and bid that
each man sock for the truth
on his own. Thus, the Unitarian
belief looks to all religions for
inspiration and turns to science
and philosophy for knowledge.
DIVERGENT VIEW
As Dr. D. B. McKown, pro­fessor
of Religious Philosophy
explains, "Unitarians accept no
book, creed, or person as au­thoritative.
And, since no creed-al
affirmations are demanded,
individual Unitarians may pos­sess
widely divergent views.
Some believe in God, some do
not; some think of themselves
as Christians, others do not."
Unitarianism began as a
movement in the 16th century,
developing independently in
Europe. At that time they
thought of themselves as Chris­tians,
whereas today many con­sider
themselves to be non-
Christians. They maintained
the belief that God was one,
rejecting the doctrine of the
Trinity, and Jesus was regarded
as a man rather than as a diety.
Basically, these beliefs still hold
true today.
MOVEMENT
In America, this movement
developed independently from
groups in Europe, steming from
the Congregalionalists in New-
England in the early 1800's.

Implications Of Assault
The attack upon an Auburn coed
which originated in the Forestry Plot
area last week is a vivid illustration of
why a lenient apartment rule is needed
on this campus. Human passions are
and have always been such that a cer­tain
amount of "petting" or "necking"
is going to take place. The location
and nature of such activities on the col­lege
campus are going to be somewhat
dependent on the rules of the institu­tion
pertaining directly or indirectly to
such matters.
We are of the opinion that a coed
is much safer in the apartment of a
male accomplice than in some aban­doned,
wooded area. If one is to as­sume,
as some do, that apartment
gatherings will result in a battle to
maintain the sexual integrity of the
girl; we feel that her recourse to moral
suasion and self-inhibition is a much
stronger defense that any measures
taken to prevent assualt by a total
stranger holding a gun on her and her
date.
It is time for some people around
this institution to begin to face realities
and initiate actions whrch will really
protect the welfare of students. The
Associated Women Students passed a
rule last year allowing sophomore,
junior, and senior girls to Visit the
apartments of males as long as they
had permission from their parents.
Supposedly because of pressure from
vested town interests, this rule was
overridden by the administration. The
same rule has been passed by AWS for
academic year 1964-65. What will the
administration do this time?
We are not so naive as to believe
that any such rule is going to totally
eliminate all of Auburn's problems
arising from sexual intimacy. It will,
at the very least, help to alleviate the
possibility of attack on Auburn women
by total strangers.
Sen. Fulbright has referred to Ameri­can
foreign policy as a hodgepodge of
"old myths and new realities." The
realities of the situation concerning
physical attraction between Auburn
man and woman are not new, but they
are still governed by archaic rules
which do more harm than good. How
many Forestry Plot attacks will it take
to bring this message home?

The Urgent Problem Is A Silence
Which Robs The City Of Its life
By Bobby Boettcher
Sweet Smell Of Success
Ten leading Auburn men were tapped
this morning for membership in Spades.
We extend our heartiest congratula­tions
to the new initiates.
It may occur to some that the em­phasis
placed upon this organization
is excessive. We don't think so. Lead­ership
is a vital commodity in today's
society. We would hate to think of
Auburn University without those who
are willing to spend up to forty hours
a week in dedicated service to their
school. This service is often accom­plished
at the expense of sleep and
social pleasures which other students
may enjoy in abundance.
Even though the specific accomplish­ments
of student leaders may seem
trivial in the long run, their efforts are
most important for a couple of reasons.
First, service to Auburn as a student
will instill a love of school and a desire
to serve her which will span a lifetime.
Second, the civic-minded Auburn stu­dent
will likely become the civic leader
of his local community, slate or nation.
There are more than ten outstanding
leaders on the Auburn campus. It is
unfortunate that all cannot be chosen.
However, it doesn't really seem to mat­ter
that much. The essential value of
Spades appears to lie in its capacity to
motivate those who would serve. There
must be some way of recognizing those
whose primary purpose is to improve
the student Body of Auburn University.
Subject to the human foibles involved
in any such selection, ten men have
been chosen by their predecessors as
the most influential in past and prob­able
future service to Auburn Universi­ty.
We hope that they will wear their
honor with humility. We hope that
their recognition will be the stimulus
for new horizons in service and dedi­cation.
We hope they will remember
that: "No one was ever honored for
what he received. Honor is the reward
for what he gave."

Wheew! . . . The ninety first volume
of The Auburn Plainsman is now his­tory.
This academic year has been a
long one, but the memories will be
sweet. Serving as the news organ of
the student body, we have tried to give
you a student newspaper of pseudo-nrofessional
quality. The 1964 edition
of The Auburn Plainsman has at­tempted
to provide responsible, forth­right
news coverage for every Bill and
Louise who strolls across the campus
on a given Wednesday morning.
The task has not been easy at times,
but we have no complaints. We can
only apologize for the times we have
sat down before a sinister-looking type­writer
and have found the editorial
vaults to be cashless. There are regrets
now for the occasions when we have
had to move with the precision swift­ness
of a switchblade knife to spill edi­torial
acid upon the heads of persons
and things we normally like. The small
doses of tribute bestowed fr»m time
to time upon Phi Phi fraternity or Zi
Zi sorority were perhaps insufficient,
but your ever improving efforts were
appreciated in this corner. The same
holds true for our many independent
friends.
Auburn has left us many golden
memories. Best of all, she has given
us a small circle of devoted friends and
a key to the door of unlimited future
opportunity. "There is 'nuthin in this
world 'tis quite so fine as one man's
love and respect for another man's
mind."
These are the garblings of a senti­mental
senior. They are not those of
an efficient journalist. It is time that
we shut up, dry our tears, and turn to
more important things.
The Auburn Plainsman has been a
defiant, impulsive, and controversial
newspaper this year. We quite frankly
hope that it stays this way. It is within
this context that free thought and
challenging ideas come to the forefront.
It is from within this context that stu­dent
debate and discussion arise and
carry the participants farther down the
highway of motivated thought.
As a passing note, it seems fitting
to say that we do not care one iota
about the conclusions you have reached
concerning issues appearing in The Au­burn
Plainsman this year. We do hope
that you have, thought about at least
a few of the situations presented. It
is our firm belief that Auburn students
have the ability to weigh and analyze
a group of facts and to derive for
themselves an educated position on any
given matter. If the student newspaper
has accomplished anything this year,
we hope that this is it.
If one might be permitted to escape
from the proverbial editorial "we" for
a fleeting moment, I would like to say
'thank you' for the opportunity of edit­ing
the 1964 edition of The Auburn
Plainsman.—Wilkinson.
Describing the conditions in
his native Germany during the
early y^ars of the Nazi regime,
Rabbi Joachim Printz, now
chairman of t h e American
Jewish Congress, has said,
"The most urgent, shameful,
and disgraceful problem was
silence"—the silence of church
leaders, educators, and the
conscientious "good people" of
Germany. By the unwilling­ness
of these people to speak
out at the first indication of
impending d a n g e r , Hitler's
men were able, in short order,
to fill the vacuum of leader­ship,
and fasten an iron grip
on the country so that subse­quent
"speaking out" would be
tantamount to treason.
Charles Morgan, Jr., a young
attorney, lived and worked
among the good people of Bir­mingham
and like all of them,
loved his city. He hoped to
help it grow and in turn to
'grow with it. But as he went
ab6uf soliciting support for
progressive change he found
that friends usually urged him
to "exercise care and caution—
in effect to do nothing," for
Morgan's ideas for progress
constructive and f e a s i b le
though they may have seemed
to many Birminghamians, con-spiciously
omitted one of the
essentials of Birmingham life
—segregation. It was under­stood
that no one ever spoke
out in this manner, but Mor­gan
did, and the city rejected
not only his ideas, but ulti­mately
himself and his family
as well.

Letters To The Editor
Editor, The Plainsman:
"One must question, how­ever,
why the homefolks must
always be left in the dark."
This was your final sentence
in last'week's editorial, "Prac­ticing
and Preaching."
I am sincerely glad that
someone in our dark, dark
state has seen the light. Tell
me, Mr. Editor, did you cross
this threshold from darkness
to daylight all by yourself? Mr.
Editor, is daylight pleasant?
If you like this daylight, may­be,
you should plunge even
deeper into it. While we still
have a semblance of "a free
country," you could move
northward into a land that is
abundant in photons. I'm sure
you would be more content
there. Please, Mr. Editor, don't
delay—go today. I beg of you,
flee—don't be trapped in eter­nal
darkness!
Contained in this editorial
was an essay, entitled, "The
Rugged Individualist." It was
proven in this essay, that you
have discovered a ray of light,
by recognizing the various and
sundry socialistic (and liberal)
trends in some, or should I say
all, of our government pro­grams.
When you get out of
dark, old, Alabama, you should
be able to see that today's
liberal trend in government
could very possibly become a
universal socialistic power. Is
that your ideal and conception
of daylight, Mr. Editor?
If so, would you please leave
us Alabamians in darkness—
we like it!!!

and the state of Alabama have
allowed themselves to become
so wrapped up in race politics
that nothing can be done un­less
it can produce an affirma­tive
answer to the question,
"Will this preserve segrega­tion?"
Race politics, or "Seg-manship,"
as Morgan calls it,
involves total commitment. In
1958, after losing the guber­natorial
race in the runoff,
George Wallace was quoted as
having said, "They outsegged
me, but they'll never do it
again." Wallace proved his
point in his successful 1962
campaign.
The easiest way to destroy
one's political opposition in
Alabama is to say—ignoring
all other issues—that he is
"soft on segregation." It was
political death for Tom King,
candidate for mayor in Bir­mingham
in 1961, when he was
photographed shaking hands
with a Negro by a hidden
cameraman who "set up" the
Negro to lure King into the
handshake.
Race pervades everything in
Birmingham. A 1959 plan to
merge t h e affluent Shades
Valley communities with Bir­mingham
proper, so that they
might provide needed leader­ship
and more civic responsi­bility
in solving the city's fes­tering
problems, would have
been "a big step forward for
a city that had stood still too
long." It seemed at first that
a majority of Shades Valley
residents favored the merger,
but when someone mentioned
that the merger might make
the valley subject to Birming­ham
school integration orders,
the issue was quickly decid­ed
— no merger. Segregation
was "the make-or-break" is­sue.
"There was no escaping its
overriding impact on the con­sciousness
of the electorate,
even the 'better people' who
by education and insulation
might be expected to assess the
situation in a reasonable light."
Later, the city government
chose to close the city's parks,
swimming pools, playgrounds,
and golf courses rather than
acquiesce in a court order to
desegregate them. A few per­sistent
golfers played on the
unattended courses until one
day workmen appeared and
carefully filled the holes on
each green. In 1960, Harrison
Salisbury of The New York
Times perceptively wrote of
Birmingham's racial tensions:
"Every channel of communi­cation,
every medium of mu­tual
interest, every reasoned
approach, every inch of middle
ground has been fragmented
by the emotional dynamite of
racism. . . ."
The t r a g i c sequence of
events in Birmingham, culm­inating
in the death by
bombing of four children in
Sunday School last September,
is well known to all of us.
People all over the world
wondered what the citizens of
Birmingham could be like, and
probably imagined a popular
tion of homicidal racists.
Are the majority of people
in Birmingham like this? Most
definitely not. But what blame,
if any, can be rightfully placed
on the majority of Birming­ham's
population in their city's
tragedy? In a speech to the
Birmingham Y o u n g Men's
Business Club, Morgan said,
"We are cursed by the failure
of each of us to accept respon-

lews
We are being lulled by the
sirens of the-Johnson adminis­tration
into waging a war
against poverty. And this is a
war that President Johnson is
really determined to fight.
But we will not win such a
war, if we merely intend to
expand handouts to the im­poverished.
The present Pov­erty
Package provides for
spending $963 million the first
year, with open-end possibili­ties
thereafter. Enticing people
to remain in their squalor will
not win this war. We will win
this war only by providing an
incentive to the people to stop
being poor.
True some people are poor
because of external and invol­untary
conditions. These peo­ple
should be looked after. If
possible they should be pro­vided
for at the local level,
next t h e •individual states
should assume ' the respon­sibility
for their care and only
as a last resort should we turn
to the Federal Government for
their support.
But many of those who are
poor are poor because for one
reason or another they are dis­inclined
to work. For' these
people we must not continue
to dole out the monthly pay­ments.
However, Sargent Shriver,
whom President Johnson has
elected to head up this war on
poverty believes that "welfar­ism"
is the answer to the pov­erty
question. Recently he said
that he saw no reason why we
couldn't abolish poverty just as
had been done in Sweden.
Of course he did not men­tion
th.at Sweden is one of the
mast ampral of the civilized
nations of the world. The rea­son
for the amorality among
the Swedish people is that they
are existing in a welfare state.
President Franklin Roosevelt
was never more correct than
when he warned us that con­tinuous
relief saps the moral
fiber of a nation.
If we are to win the war
against poverty, which is real­ly
$ rather dubious war con­sidering
the relativity of pov­erty,
we must declare war
against those factors which
tend to keep job creation and
wage scales down. Factors
such as inefficiency, irrespon­sibility,
j etc.
And we must attach to laz­iness
. a terrible stigma. We
must make one feel that it is
disgraceful to be dependent on
welfare.
A large percentage of our
population has already drunk
deep of the narcotic spring of
welfarism, and their status has
remained unchanged. In fact
they continue to transmit pov­erty
to their illegitimate chil­dren.
We cannot afford, morally,
economically or physically to
continue to propogate this kind
of civil irresponsibility. We
have no intentions of letting
people starve—But we must go
back to the Victorian concept
that it is respectable to earn
your own way in the world.
Auburn Is Great. .
We See That Which Could Be
Because We Love That Which Is
By Jim Dinsmore
There have existed in our
secret minds and upon our sec­ret
lips those vile words writ­ten
around public toilets.
These words have been flung
upon Auburn ground and upon
the images of teachers and ad­ministrators,
w i t h feeling
flung. Because what we might
hope to be is not. Because,
waving the banner of idealism,
we want things to be better.
Because we want all ideas, no
matter how "radical," to be
laid on top of the table and
from these we want to as­semble
our own version of the
truth. Because we don't want
just George . Wallace and his
kind, we also want Hubert
Humphrey and Roy Wilkins.
Because we feel that there is
something wrong with a poli­tical
or social point of view
that will not stand the light of
other and opposing ideas. Be­cause
we believe that any man,
no matter how old or how ex­tensive
his experience, who is
convinced that he is right, who
refuses to change, who will not
listen to others, is a dead. man.
a man who does not belong in
education but six feet under.
Because we have kicked body
sibility, by our defense of an
already dead institution. . . .
Who threw that bomb? . . . We
all did it."
The otherwise "good people"
of Birmingham have by their
silence, robbed the city of its
life, leaving a vacuum to be
filled by racists. Much truth
rings in Morgan's emphatic
statement, "Birmingham is
dead."
How many Charles Morgans
have spoken out, found them­selves
isolated from the society
they cared so much for, and
after threatening phone calls
and other pressures, left in
disillusionment and despair?
Quite a few, no doubt. But
worse still, how many "good
people" are staying on in sil­ence,
watching their leaders
drag their city and state down
a one-way path to the inevi­table
dead end of frustration
and disappointment?

Auburn with our foot and body
Auburn has just laid there
blinking. And so we have been
frustrated and have uttered
obscenities.
But because we have loved
and believed, we have been
discontented. Because we love
that which is and, in the act of
love, see that which is as that
which could be (more and bet­ter).
Permit us a moment to wash
out our minds and our mouths.
Permit us to say,' with soap
scent, "Auburn is great and I
am proud" as we take the dip­loma
in hand.
. * * *
I fell in love once while I
was here and then she was
gone and I was still here and
I still loved, but alone. Like
this — lost, wrapped in the
w o r d s AUBURN UNIVER­SITY,
printed on the thing
which says you are out, at last
lost, the place itself, lived but
forever-on unlived, only re­membered
— pale and unreal
remembrance not to compare
with the time and the days
filled with love (as we like to
think of them now and tomor­row)
also with the vile and
obscene (which we know now
because we are still here) also
with the already-lost-and-felt
(because we loved once and
have not forgotten though we
loved again, perhaps).
God Almighty! Auburn is
great and I am proud. Not to
leave but to be here, as the
dying days gleefully writhe
before the imminent end and,
after that, vast heaven of re­membering
and evaluating on
a stool or in a rocking chair,
peaks of pleasure both. When
the climax which was a climax
(but we did not know
because we were experienc­ing)
can be recalled as such.
But I would rather live and
stay, as a child, not knowing,
only doing, believing and lov­ing
without realizing how or
why. Like a fool. As if I had
never been here and learned
that such thoughts were fool­ish,
as if I had never learned
about the lost from Thomas
Wolfe or from a girl with a
pretty soul. Still I am glad to
be here in these desperation
days. I am eating the pulp now
because the juice is all gone,
filling my stomach so that I
and we, those of us who are
leaving t h i s spring or this
summer, might walk away
with as much as is here. Eating
now and not thinking "I will
be sorry to leave" and not re­membering
the words of an
English teacher, 'Watch your
prose.'"
Perhaps someday.
the principle
I By HARRY WILKINSON |
In the year 1876 the Su­preme
Court of the United
States ruled in the case of
Munn vs. Illinois that a busi­ness
"affected with a public
interest" could be regulated
by the state
without vio­lating
the due
p r o c e s s
c l a u s e . One
year l a t e r,
1877, in t he
c a s e of Wa­bash
vs. Illi­nois
the high
court revers­ed
itself. The
court did not
waiver f r om
that business
"affected with a public inter­est"
could be regulated. It did
say, however, that such regu­lation
could be imposed only
by the Congress of the United
States.
Almost a century later, the
Congress- of the United States
is being asked to provide such
legislation in the public ac­commodations
section of the
current Civil Rights Bill.
As a further legal addendum
and precedent for the public
accommodations section of the
Civil Rights Bill, one may turn
to the 1933 high court decision
in the case of South Carolina
vs. Bramwell.
Speaking for a unanimous
court, Justice Harlan Fiske
Stone stated: "State regula­tions
affecting interstate com­merce,
whose purpose or effect
is to gain for those within the
state an advantage at the ex­pense
of those without are
illegal.
"Underlying the state rule
has been the thought, often ex­pressed
in judicial opinion,
that when the regulation is of
such a character that its bur­den
falls principally u p on
those without the state, legis­lative
action is not likely to
be subjected to those political
restraints which are normally
exerted on legislation where it
affects adversely some inter­ests
within the state."
This decision in effect would
invalidate any state statutes
, allowing and/or requiring seg­regated
facilities within the
state which involve interstate
commerce. In effect, New York
and California Negro tourists
are to be protected from Ala­bama
laws requiring motel
segregation for the simple rea­son
that they have no voice in
the making of laws which di­rectly
affect their individual
interests and rights. E v en
though a majority of Alabama
citizens, in accordance with
the democratic process of ma­jority
will, wish to maintain
segregated m o t e l facilities;'
such facilities cannot exist ex­cept
by authorization of the
United States Congress. Only
the Congress can be consider­ed
representative of the will
and rights of all citizens.
These decisions, as legal and
historical predecessors to our
current evaluation of public
accommodations, lead finally
to a consideration of business,
as a private entity. Business,,
as defined by Webster, "speci-'
fically names the combined ac­tivities
of those engaged in the
purchase or sale of commodi­ties
or in related financial-transactions."
Hence, the de­finitive
criterion for the con­duct
of business in an advan­ced
economy is money and «*
only money. There are no con­siderations
in the chartering or
establishment of any private
business which involve or im­pose
restrictions based upon
race, creed, or national origin.
The divergence between a
private business and a private
home is obviously clear. A
business is established to make
money from the sale of its
commodities to the public. The
private home, on the other
hand, is established to provide
social privacy in accordance
with the social mores of our
society.
One must logically and le­gally
conclude then that it is
th^ responsibility of the Con­gress
to establish guidelines
for. those businesses which di­rectly
affect the public interest
of any members of its consti­tuency.
It is to this end that
the Congress is considering the
Civil Rights Bill of 1964.
Any citizen may rightfully
be opposed to the public ac-commodations
section of this
bi'l, but he cannot validly con­tend
that the passage of this
section will constitute an un-
P-^cedented abuse of legisla­tive
authority.
Letters to the Editor
'Great' Glom Contents,
But Poor Cover
Editor, The Plainsman:
We would like to voice our
disapproval. We speak in ref­erence
of this year's cover on
the Glcmerata. We realize that
abstract art appeals to many
people, but does it have to ap­pear
on the cover of a year­book?
In our opinion, the cover
of a yearbook is not the place
to display such "art?" In our
years here at Auburn, we have
seen three Glom,?; this is, by
far, the worst we have ever
seen. The two previous year's
Glomeratas have had simple
but very adequate covers. We
thought that they were very
beautiful as covers for year­books
and we are proud to dis­play
them to our friends. We
will say this, however, that the
contents of this Glom compare
very favorably to previous
ones, and in ways they are
better. The contents are great,
but the cover could be beat,
and very easily. Why not keep
the simple, beautiful covers
from now on. They appeal so
much more.

Ms It Not
About That Time?'
Editor, The Plainsman:
If the Civil Rights Bill is
not passed in its present form
it will be another "piece" of
legislation that was a "fluke."
Sure, the Bill gives the Federal
Government power, but is not
this necessary for effective en­forcement
of the Bill? The Ci­vil
Rights Bill of 1957 was
passed, but it had no effective
means of enforcement. Of what
value was this Bill?
If the people in the Federal
Government do take advant­age
of this additional power,
where does the blame lie?
The Attorney General (in­cidentally,
the Attorney Gen­eral
only files suit, he does not
send a person to jail for vio­lating
sections of the Bill) is
appointed by the President and
approval of two-thirds of the
Senate. The Commission on
Civil Rights is appointed by
the President as are the Fed­eral
Judges, again with two-thirds
majority consent of the
Senate.
If our representatives in
Washington do abuse this
power, we the voters should
reap our just rewards.
Is not it about time that our
country lives up to the ideals
set forth in the Declaration of
Independence and Constitu­tion,
of equality of all men?
In writing this letter, I have
assumed the reader has read
the "Civil Rights Bill." If you
have not, I urge you to do so
and then write your Senator.

'I Call It
Communism'
Editor, The Plainsman:
In recent months, the main
argument of the liberals, con­cerning
the civil rights contro­versy,
has been that of human
rights over property rights.
They feel that a Negro should
be allowed into any business
establishment whatever and
that an owner who disagrees
should be fined heavily and/or
put into prison.
I also feel that business
owners should choose their
clientele indiscriminately, but
whose decision is this? Does
not a property owner have the
right to say who shall, or shall
not, come onto his property
and may he not make this de­cision
in any manner in which
he sees fit? When we see any
government take away an indi­vidual's
right to choose who
shall, or shall not come onto
his property, we see the be­ginnings
of the dissolution of
individual property rights.

Poultry Science Professor Studies
Physiological Aspects Of Animals
By CATHYE McDONALD
Psychologists today agree
that environment has a great
effect on people. Dr. James R.
Howes, a professor of Poultry
Science, says environment also
has a great effect on animals.
Dr. Howes is originally from
the southern part of England,
where he attended the Uni­versity
of London, and later,
the University of Edinburg.
Environmental physiology is
his main interest, because it
has enabled him to combine
his love of chemistry with his
love of nature, which stems
from his childhood on a farm.
At Auburn he is studying
erty was one of the first things
done in Russia after the revor
lution of 1917. In Russia we
call it communism, in America,
I call it communism.
I do not believe that our na­tional
leaders are oriented to­ward
the Communist sphere of
influence but rather they have
let their desire to help the
Negro minority be turned in
this direction by a militant and
strongly vocal minority pres­sure
group which may, or .may
not be under the sway of in­ternational
communism. The
desire to help oppressed mi­norities
should be strong in all
of us, but we should differen­tiate
clearly between moral is­sues
and legal issues.

the physiological effects of
heat stress, light, and humidity
on birds. The results of these
studies will be of great im­portance
to the poultry indus­try,
and will also help in bio­logical
experiments, because
some of the results can be ap­plied
to human beings.
SPUNK
Although most people today
will tell you that the youth of
America are getting soft, Dr.
Howes disagrees with this. He
feels that American youth
have more "spunk" than peo­ple
give them credit for. He
says they could put up with
rough conditions if they had
to. He has traveled a great
deal and he feels that young
people all over the world have
the same desires and aspira­tions,
and are dissatisfied with
the old ways of life.
Dr. Howes began traveling
during the War when he was
with the British Navy, and has
been traveling quite a bit
since. He has been in the Ca­ribbean,
Pakistan, E u r o p e,
North America, and Africa.
(There was a Mau Mau upris­ing
while he was in Kenya).
BITTERNESS
Dr. Howes has met many
people during his travels. He
feels there is a bitterness in
the backward nations, because
the young people there do not
have the advantages of those
in more developed countries.
The people in backward na­tions
often resent America be-

Over $500 Donated
To Leukemia Victim
Over $500 has been collected
by the Ed Mayordomo Fund in
Marianna, Fla., te help defray
hospital expenses of the Fili­pino
student, recently hospi­talized
for acute lymphatic
leukemia.
The Auburn Library has
collected approximately $75
for Mayordomo. Sacred Heart
Catholic Church has collected
about $150. Don Williams, Au­burn
foreign student advisor,
is attempting to collect another
$500 for Mayordomo.
According to friends, if May-ordomo's
condition improves
sufficiently, he will be sent to
his home at Catabato City,
Philippines.
Mayordomo's doctors said
that he has not been told that
he has leukemia because they
do not feel he is strong enough
to bear the news. He is not
expected to recover, and his
doctors ask that the disease
not be mentioned in any cor­respondence
to him.
Contributions may be sent
to the Ed Mayordomo Fund,
c/o Mrs. Bettie Cheesebor-ough,
Citizens State Bank,
Marianna, Fla., or may be
made by mail or in person to
Donald Williams, S t u d e nt
Counseling Service, Langdon
Hall.
Mayordomo entered Auburn
in 1961 and has completed
eight quarters. At the end of
winter quarter this year he
went to Marianna seeking
work to finance his education.
He worked' on a vegetable
farm and later for a sign-painting
firm.
Two weeks ago the 20-year-old
Mayordomo suffered an
attack of appendicitis and un­derwent
surgery immediately.
In the course of pre-operative
tests he was found to have leu­kemia
of the acute lymphatic
type.
cause they feel that all Amer­icans
are rich. '
To Dr. Howes, there are too
many rules and regulations in
life, such as having to make
certain grades in school. For­mal
education is well taken
care of, but education should
be aimed at learning to live
together, and not just how to
earn a living. The people of
different countries should get
to know each other. There
should be an attempt to get
people who disagree to live to­gether
in peace.
TRAVEL
To accomplish this objective,
Dr. Howes suggests that a year
of foreign travels be made
compulsory in order to get a
graduate degree. He feels that
travel is the best education
one can have. It is the only
way a person can get. really
up-to-d a t e information, be­cause
the knowledge in even a
new textbook is usually at
least two years old. It would
also enable the student to
meet the people of another
country and get to know them.
Dr. Howes says the people of
one country often have wrong
ideas about the people in an­other
country. He thinks get­ting
to know and understand
the people of other nations,
would help solve a lot of the
world's problems.
Unitarian . .
(Continued from page 2)
William Ellery Channing, a
Unitarian clergyman and writ­er,
preached a famous sermon
in 1819 on Unitarian Christiani­ty,
which signaled the formation
of the new group. In 1825, this
group officially organized itself
as the American Unitarian As­sociation.
Today there are approximate­ly
155,000 Unitarians in Ameri­ca.
Four years ago they merged
with the universalist movement
and became known as the Uni­tarian
Universalist Association-
Some well-known Unitarians
include Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Albert Schweitzer, and Adlai
Stevenson.
Locally, the Unitarian group
has been organized for three
years. Presently they have no
minister and no church in Au­burn,
however this is not a
standard practice. Eventually
they do hope to expand, having
their own building and a minis­ter.
NINE FAMILIES
Nine families are members
now. Along with interested
friends, they attend the pro­grams
which are now held in
the National Guard Armory.
Both Sunday School and church
services are being held.

Record Number Of Women Expected
To Live In Dormitories Next Fall
A larger number of women
students than ever before is
expected to be housed in Au­burn
dormitories fall quarter
according to Miss LaMargaret
Turnipseed, head of Women's
Housing.
The number of women living
in dorms in Fall of 1963 ex­ceeded
the 1962 amount by ap­proximately
200. The Univer­sity
is expecting a slightly
larger number of acceptances
this fall which will boost the
1964 number to about 250 more
women than were housed in

relating to ethics, philosophy,
and religion at the Sunday
services. Past topics have in­cluded:
Theories on the Origin
of the Universe, Hinduism,
Buddism, Sex Education, and
Radiation and Morality. The
subjects always deal with the
factual nature that people
should take into account in liv­ing
their own lives.
Unitarians maintain that God
is one being, emphasizing free­dom

of differences in religious

Normal capacity f o r the
dormitories, with no triple bed
rooms, was exceeded last fall
by 154. This Fall the excess
will be even greater. To take
care of the larger number, all
dorms on campus except Au­burn
Hall and Alumni Hall
will have a larger number of
triple rooms than ever before.
There are also more fresh­men
women enrolled for sum­mer
quarter than in previous
y e a r s . Approximately 250
freshmen women are expected.
Several hundred girls were
turned down for next fall
quarter due to lack of housing,
Miss Turnipseed said. A num­ber
of these girls are coming

there will be room for them by

this fall was filled by the end
of January, the earliest date
women's housing has ever been

The over-crowded situation
should be alleviated by a long
range plan to add seven more
dormitories to the South Dorm
section. Three of them are
planned to be built in the near
future, but no date has been
named for their completion.

THE P L A I N S M AN AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1964 P A G E S I X
GERALD RUTBERG . . .
t§
The Year In Retrospect . . .
While December 31 is recognized as the end of the calendar
year and June 30 completes most fiscal years, "Plainsman"
years end with the final edition of spring quarter. Highlights
of 1963-64 pass in review for the last time and those vivid
recollections of games won and lost (mostly won) gradually
slip into the great abyss of our memory.
Surprise and satisfaction might best describe the sports events
of the past year. From a three touchdown lead at halftime
against Houston to a second place finish in the Southeastern
Conference track meet, Auburn was once again a respected
power in the collegiate athletic world.
At this time one year ago the gridiron forecast was not
bright. The Tigers had a good backfield but very little up
front. Sophomores and juniors dominated the squad and Auburn
was picked to finish sixth in the Conference at best. At worst
. . . well there was always Tulane and Vanderbilt. /
Coach Jordan must have died of laughter inside when he
told the world that Jimmy Sidle was as good if not better
than any quarterback in the country—ar.d few people believed
him. They got the message eventually.
In Atlanta, before the largest crowd ever to witness a foot­ball
game at Grant Field, the Tigers (4-0 at the time) bounced
back from an early disaster to literally smash Georgia Tech.
Billy Lothridge also proved to be a standout performer, how­ever
the Plainsmen were not to be denied. For the huge
throng of Auburn fans, the game was particularly satisfying,
for all were able to leave the stadium content that the Tigers
had done the impossible, "Beat Tech at Grant Field."
Entering the Alabama game with an 8-1 record, confirmed
reports had it that Auburn would be invited to the Orange
Bowl if the Crimson Tide "did not embarass" the Plainsmen
in the annual intrastate tiff. Coach "BEAR" Bryant, predicting
victory for his monstrous crew of stormtroopers, succeeded in
"embarassing" Auburn by an amazing total of minus two points.
We suspect that the ride which Coach Jordan took across the
field at game's end was one of the most satisfying trips of his
life.
From unbearably hot September days spent on Drake Field
to the plush atmosphere of the Americana Hotel proved quite
a contrast as the Tigers reaped the benefits of a winner in sur­roundings
of luxury. For the first 30 minutes of the Orange
Bowl Classic it appeared that success had spoiled the Tigers,
however the last half hour of the contest disspelled all doubts
which millions of viewers might have had concerning Auburn's
credentials. Fourth and four for a first down late in the
fourth quarter inside the Nebraska ten was now close it got.
Basketball . . .
Stripped by graduation and a personal discipline case, A u ­burn's
basketball team suffered their first losing season in fif­teen
years while rebuilding a championship contender. New
head coach Bill Lynn laid the ground work for better things
and his quintet ended the 1963-64 season as it may begin
the 1964-65 campaign. Winning.
Spring Sports . . .
Under Coaches Nix and Rosen, Auburn's baseball and track
teams remained at the top of the conference heap with Coach
Nix's diamond juggernaut taking the eastern division baseball
crown and Coach Rosen's cindermen rolling to a second place
finish in the annual SEC meet. The track team also completed
its fourth straight season without a dual meet loss.
Looking Inward . . .
In years past The Auburn Plainsman was generally
recognized as "also containing a sports section." It was George
Gardner's idea that such mediocrity would stop and we have
attempted to present the "Best Sports Coverage in the SEC,"
just like it says at the top of this page. Having headlines
balance, using breakers in stories of six paragraphs or longer
in order to facilitate easier reading by you, and using the
correct names of those appearing in pictures have been our
objects. The days of fictitious names for writers also ended.
Thanks to the efforts of dependable sports writers like
Ted Hiley (who graduates next week), our Sunday and Monday
evenings have been much more pleasant. Charley Majors,
George Stallard, Larry Lee, Bill Powell, Sharon Anthony, and
writer-athletes Freddie Guy and Ernie Warren also deserve
thanks for their fine efforts. We also determined that no
particular social group would dominate sports news and a
team of outstanding athletes from C & C Dorm called Sports
made our job easy in this respect.
Redshirt John Dixon defied all known laws of prognostica­tion
in his Out On A Limb efforts (we still think the fact
that he knew less than all the "experts" at the Plainsman
office had something to do with it) . . . and won, while the
Old Pro nosed out yours truly for the second spot when Army
ran out on the clock against Navy.
Looking Ahead . . .
I t is quite possible that our grades, health, and much else
suffered from a second year on that "radical" Plainsman staff
and we don't doubt that there are a lot of other endeavors
which are just as satisfying as watching a paper roll off the
press, but what else can be said . . . except that we enjoyed it.

LEADERSHIP AND ATHLETICS
GOAL OF A-CLUB MEMBERS
By ERNIE WARREN
Development of leadership and the furtherance of
athletics are the two main goals of the Auburn "A"
Club. Working to achieve these goals is a group unique
to all other campus organizations in that its members
are all varsity lettermen in one of the four major sports
—football, baseball, basketball
or track.
Since the average athlete
spends a total of about four
hours a day practieihgas; hag
sport and as much time, in the
class room—not to mentioil
study time—few channels of
activity are left open to him
in a cramped day. The "A"
Club tries to provide a means
by which the athlete may ex­ploit
his leadership potentials,
a social outlet, and a chance to
be of service to the university
and community in more than
an athletic capacity.
SERVICE
This year as in the past,
community and school service
have been primary objectives
of the "A" Club. As a service
phase of initiation, football in­itiates
recently erected a four
foot high wire fence around
the outfield at the new Dean
Road Pony League Field.
In addition to this good deed,
the 'A" Club shows Auburn
sports films to elderly people
in the community, helps the
Fellowship of Christian Ath­letes
send delegates to their
annual camp, and last year
honored past head track coach
Wilbur Hutsell on his retire­ment
with a tea and numerous
gifts.
P L A N N I NG
Still in the planning stages
are: an annual banquet of
champions proposed to honor
outstanding senior athletes in
each sport, and meritorious
performances by individual
athletes, a formal hazing and
counseling plan to be submit­ted
to the athletic department
designed to guide freshmen
and protect them from an un­organized,
disorderly hazing,
and a proposal to light the
University tennis courts.
Although proud of their oth­er
activities, the real pride of
the "A" Club is the "A" Club
room and a fund created last
year to eventually build a
small building to provide a
game room and lounging fa­cilities
for lettermen. This
room would also be of service
to the athletic department as a
help in recruiting.
SOCIAL
^.JJhe importance of social ex­posures'
to the athlete is not
overlooked by the "A" Club.
Each year the lettermen enter­tain
"Miss A Day" contestants
at a tea and then provide half
time ceremonies for the an­nual
"A Day" game.
After a winning year of
sports (each year at Auburn)
the lettermen celebrate their
victories with a house party in
Destin, Fla. A highlight of this
year's" events was the recent
"western" party given for all
athletes.
With a broad -scope of pro­jects
and the responsibility of
creating interests for Auburn's
major athietic force, to be ill
advised would be a folly, but
the "A" Club benefits from
wise counseling from Coach
Brownie Flournoy.
FLOURNOY
Not only does Coach Flour­noy
advise, direct protocol and
counsel in the club's twice
monthly meetings, but he acts
as a link between the letter-men
and sponsors of the "A'1*
Club, the athletic department.
It is conceded by the "A"
Club that for years the club
was a sleeper and provided no
real contributions to the ath­letes
or the community, but
two years ago it awoke to be­come
a group highly beneficial
to Auburn.
It is believed by the direc­tors
and sponsors of the "A"
Club that it has the potential
to become one of the most
highly regarded organizations
on campus.
The lettermen say they can
realize this potential since the
"A" Club is truly a club of
winners.

29 Lettermen Return In Autumn
To Spearhead SEC Title Thrust
By GEORGE STALLARD
Blessed with perhaps the best coaching, talent, and
support assembled on the Plains in many seasons, the
Auburn Tigers will open the 1964 football year with
the Houston Cougars September 19 in Cliff Hare Sta­dium.
The Houston contest will
mark the beginning of eight
Auburn games to be played
within the state of Alabama.
The only two encounters out of
the state this autumn will be
in Gainesville against the Flor­ida
Gators and a night game
with Kentucky in Lexington.
SOUTHERN MISS ADDED
Deleting Florida State from
the schedule, Auburn replaced
the Seminoles with the Uni­versity
of Southern Mississippi.
The rest of the teams remain
the same from last year.
Homecoming will be against
t h e maroon-clad Mississippi
State Bulldogs Nov. 7.
For the first time in Auburn-
Alabama history, the contest
between the two arch-rivals
will be played before a nation­al
television audience at Le­gion
Field in Birmingham on
Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26.
LETTERMEN RETURN
Returning for the Orange
and Blue this fall are 29 hard­ened
lettermen, a most im­pressive
number. Coming back
to haunt the enemy also is War
Eagle III, an Auburnite with
whom no one wants to tangle.
Heading the returnees is Au­burn's
All-American quarter­back
Jimmy Sidle. Sidle, pri­marily
a runner, gaining 1006
yards last season, supposedly is
ready to strike through the air
with deadliness also.
BACKFIELD HOPEFULS
Along with Sidle in the
backfield will be Tucker Fred-erickson,
Doc Griffith, Mickey
Sutton, Don Lewis, John Coch­ran,
and Jimmy Partin, all of
whom will be vying for posi­tions
when the leather begins
to pop.
Frederickson is noted by
many pro scouts and coaches
as possibly being the best all-around
collegiate halfback in
the country. Frederickson was
awarded the Jacobs Blocking
Trophy last year which is
given to the SEC's best block­er.
Another backfield hopeful
who should play a lot of foot­fall
providing he stays healthy
is Gerald Gross. Gross was in­jured
in the opening game
against Houston last year and
never regained his full playing
potential.
L I N E M EN
Returning standout ends who
have earned letters are Bucky

SPECIALISTS

leading SEC punter with a
41.3 average, will be back for
one more campaign. Defensive
specialists Bill Cody and Billy
Edge will return again to ter­rorize
the opposition. Franklin
Fuller, who kicked off for Au­burn
most of last year will be
back also,
SOPHOMORE OUTLOOK
The outlook for sophomores
is not exceptional; however,
there are several boys who
could possibly log playing time
for head coach Ralph "Shug"
Jordan's Tigers.
Tom Bryan, a quarterback
from Hartford, Alabama, has
already reaped praise from
Coach Jordan for his fine
spring practice showing. An­other
soph, Joe Campbell, and
junior Philip Creel figure to
battle it out with Bryan for
the position behind Sidle.
Other promising sophomores
include fullback Harrison Mc-
Craw, end Scotty Long, wing-back
Mike Looser, and guard
J o h n n y Robinson. Handling
the place-kicking chores this
spring were Don Lewis and

The All-SEC baseball squad
was announced Sunday by
Commissioner Bernie Moore as
chosen by the SEC baseball
coaches. As expected, Cham­pion
Ole Miss and runner-up
Auburn dominated the squad
as the Rebels placed four play­ers
on the elite squad and Au­burn
topped the entries with
five.
Alabama had two members
of the All-Star team and LSU
placed one man as the western
division provided seven men
for the 14 man team along with
seven players from the eastern
loop. Only six teams of the
"Dixie Dozen" had represen­tatives
on the squad.
A L L - S T A RS
First Base, Tommy Keyes
(Ole Miss); Second Base, Jim­my
Martin (Auburn); short­stop,
Donnie Kessinger (Ole
Miss); third base, Jim Bar-field
(Auburn); outfielders,
Mickey Andrews (Alabama);
Jack Ervin (Tennessee); Bill
Blomgren (Florida) and Glen
Lusk (Ole Miss); catchers,
Harry Doles (Auburn) and
Buddy F r e n c h (Alabama);
utility infielder, Otis Bibb
(Auburn); pitchers, J i m my
Crysel (Auburn), R i c h a rd
Prine (Ole Miss) and Steve
George (LSU).
In the final conference sta­tistics,
Kessinger and Lusk of
Ole Miss led the loop in hitting
with a .400 average. Otis Bjb.b
of Auburn led the SEC in hits
and Dink Haire made larceny
pay on the basepaths as he
paced the conference in stolen
bases. Jimmy Crysel was the
leading hurler as Coach Nix's
team was well represented
among departmental leaders.
Ole Miss will open the Re­gion
III tourney at Gastonia,
N.C., by taking on Southern
Conference champion West
Virginia. North Carolina sur­prised

PKT Takes IM Trophy;
Sports Softball Champs
By BILL POWELL
ALL-STAR SECOND BASEMAN JIMMY MARTIN
rounds third base on his way to scoring another run in
Auburn's 10-9 victory over Mississippi in the first game
of the SEC title playoffs. Martin scored many runs during
his career on the Plains.
ALL-STAR SECOND SACKER MARTIN
LEADER IN VARIETY OF FIELDS
By CHARLEY MAJORS
All-Southeastern Conference
second baseman, husband and
father, senior in accounting
with a 2.45 over-all scholastic
average, and member of two
national honoraries, Jimmy
Martin is quite a person.
Jimmy comes to the Plains
from Birmingham, where he
a t t e n d e d Woodlawn High
School. He was on the football
and baseball teams there; the
baseball t e a m being state
champs his junior year. His
senior year Martin was award­ed
the Fred Singleton Trophy
for the scholastic athlete of the
year at Woodlawn.
Baseball was Jimmy's love
long before high school, how­ever.
From the time he was 10
years old and began to play
Little . League, he has played
on nine different teams. These
included also the Pony League,
American Legion, a m a t e u i
league, high school, and col­lege.
WOODLAWN
After graduation from Wood­lawn,
he decided to come to
Auburn. Although he came his
freshman year on partial scho­lastic
scholarship, Jimmy earn­ed
a starting berth as second
baseman for the Auburn frosh.
After having such a good sea­son
and batting .410, he became
the regular second sacker for
t h e varsity t h e following
spring. Developing more and
more each season, he blossom­ed
into All-SEC fame this year
as he batted .333 and helped
the Tigers to their Eastern Di­vision
title.
An interesting fact about
Martin's four years here is that
he has missed but one game
during his career for the Ti­gers.
That one game was miss­ed
because of a slight concus­sion
which he sustained in a
collision during a game.
Another injury he boasts be­cause
of his baseball interest
is a broken nose which he r e ­ceived
this year when he ran
into the Georgia Tech catcher.
ABOVE AVERAGE
Even though baseball ac­counts
for at least 21 hours a
week for Jimmy during Spring
quarter and he has missed 12
complete class days while on
road trips, he has still kept his
grades up above the average
non-player.
For this he w a s awarded
membership in Phi Kappa Phi,
a national scholastic honorary,
and Omicron Delta Epsilon, an
economics honorary. He also
recently placed second in the
CPA award for the outstanding
accounting student. If he does
not play professional ball, he
has several business offers
from which to choose.
Two inspirations for Jimmy
to succeed are his wife, Betty,
and his six-month old son,
J e f f . Childhood sweethearts,
Betty and Jimmy were maried
in December, 1962, Jeff was
born last fall.
In concluding his stay at
Auburn, Martin commented,
"I've really enjoyed my four
years here. I owe a lot to
Coach Nix's philosophy on
baseball. I really think he de­serves
any credit given him
for his accomplishments in the
past two years."
If not playing professional
ball this summer, Martin will
be with several of his team­mates
in the Birmingham ama­teur
league.
On the Pinson team with him
will be Harry Doles, Otis Bibb,
Gearld Lewter, and Smiley
Nichols.
The sports department of The
Auburn Plainsman is looking
Tor a sports cartoonist-artist in­terested
in working with the
staff beginning in September

Rutberg at 887-2135 prior to the

a total of 1123 points to ease
past the second place KA's who
ended with a total of 1069
points.

TRACK
LCA eased to victory in the

Buddy Edwards started the
record breaking as he leaped

Aubrey Garrison, PKA, set a
new pole vault record by clear­ing
11 feet four inches and Bob­by
Rodgers' toss of 51 feet ten
and one-half inches was good
for a new shot put record.
LCA's victory was sparked by
the fine running of John David
Ramsey as he won first place
in the 100 yard and 220 yard
dashes. Bancroft Hall, AP, and
Larry Roberson, PKT, also
played a big part in their teams
victory. The first five places
