Phi Kappa Phi Selects
Forty-One Students
Thirty-three undergraduates and eight graduate stu­dents
are new members of Phi Kappa Phi, national schol­astic
honorary. Membership in Phi Kappa Phi is the high­est
scholastic honor an Auburn student may receive.
To qualify for Phi Kappa Phi, a student must be in
the upper five per cent of his
school scholastically. Students
from all schools on campus are
tapped for the honorary at the
senior and graduate level.
New members are Thomas
Whitfield Athey III. Frank

$20,060 Damages
Caused By Blaze
Fire damage to a laboratory
in the chemistry section of the
new Physical Science Center
is estimated at $20,000.
Agents from the state fire
marshal's office and city fire­men
are continuing their inves­tigation
of the blaze which oc-cured
Nov. 29. Cause of the fire
has not been determined.
An explosion was heard and
the fire discovered by a night
watchman at 2:55 a.m. A second
blast occured before firemen
arrived, but the flames were
brought under control and da­mage
limited to one room in
the building.
The explosion .ripped out two
windows and a door and blast­ed
a hole in the concrete floor.
Col. L. E. Funchess, director
of buildings and grounds, said
damage to equipment and
chemical supplies was nearly
100 per cent.
Col. Funchess said that all
campus buildings and equip­ment-
are completely- cover«d-by
insurance.
"Actual cause of the explo­sions
and fire is hard to deter­mine,"
Funchess said. "There
was a large quantity of chemi­cals
in the area and when heat
was generated, they naturally
reacted. Exactly what produced
the heat is not known."
A graduate student had re­portedly
been working in the
lab until around 12:30 a.m.,
which narrowed somewhat the
time of the fire's origin.

U.S. Tour Given
Foreign Student
A foreign student from Au­burn
will tour the United
States during the summer of
1964 through a cooperative ef­fort
by the Foreign Relations
Committee and Auburn's Ro­tary
Club.
A trip throughout the nation
by a selected foreign student
"will open the, door of America
to him . . . and give him an
understanding of how people
live in various parts of our
country," according to a state­ment
issued recently by the
Foreign Relations Committee.
In return for this all-ex­pense-
paid trip, the foreign
student will be expected to
provide at least one program
to the Rotary Club expressing
his impressions of America. In
addition, at the invitation of
the sponsoring club, he will
present"tr "program' expiarrrmg-his
native country.
Letters will be sent to all
foreign students enrolled at
Auburn notifying them of the
opportunity a n d requesting
letters of intent which state
(1) why they would like to
make the trip (2) what part
of the United States they
would like to see and (3) their
intentions to fulfill their obli­gation
to the Rotary Club.
From these letters, the For­eign
Relations Committee will
review the candidates for their
ability to speak English and
their reasons for wanting to
go. The letters of intent will
be submitted to the Rotary
Club with the committee's re­commendations.
The final se­lection
will be made by Ro­tary,
either by personal inter­view
or judgment of the sub­mitted
letters.
After selection by the Ro­tary
Club, Brownell Travel
Bureau in Birmingham will
plan the itinerary in consul­tation
with the Foreign Re­lations
Committee .and with
the final approval of the Ro­tary
Club.
Meals and housing on t he
t r i p w i l l be coordinated
through other civic clubs and
universities which the student
will visit. According to Bill
Renneker, committee chair­man,
this will help to lower
the cost of the trip to approx­imately
$300.

Court Of Appeals
Refuses To Delay
Negro Admittance
The Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals will not delay the
Court-ordered registration of
Negro Harold A. Franklin in
the Auburn Graduate School.
The ruling came in New Or­leans
last Wednesday, Dec. 4.
By a 2-1 vote, the court
turned down a motion seeking
a delay in effectiveness of the
court ordered desegregation,
pending an appeal.
U. S. Dist. Judge Frank M.
Johnson Jr. of Montgomery is­sued
an order Nov. 5, barring
William V. Parker, dean of the
Graduate School, from rejecting
the application of Franklin on
grounds that Franklin lacked a
degree from an accredited col­lege.
Thirty-year old Franklin did
not graduate from high school
but obtained a bachelor of
science degree from Alabama
State College, which is not ac­credited.
Auburn's graduate school re­quires
students to hold a de­gree
from an accredited college.
Circuit Judge Richard P.
Rives and U. S. District Judge
Edwin F. Hunter denied the
motion for the stay. Circuit
Judge Ben F. Cameron dissent­ed
Under the order, Franklin
will enter Jan. 3 or 4. Origin­ally
he was to have registered

Dr. Robert Carbone To Deliver Talk
On Training Of American Teachers
January 16 Date Set
For Drive Fallow-Up
Jan. 16 is the date set for
the second dose of the Sabin
Oral Polio Vaccine. Infirmary
officials remind students to
keep the validation cards re­ceived
after the first dose, and
to bring these cards with them
when receiving the second dose.
A total of 2953 students re­ceived
the first dose of the vac­cine
given last Thursday.
According to Drew Ragan,
head of the drive, the turnout
was satisfactory considering
those who already had taken
the vaccine in other places.
Dr. Robert F. Carbone, a
leading assistant OIJ the Conant
committee for study of the
education of American teach­ers,
will deliver an address
based on this study in Thach
Auditorium, Wednesday, Dec.
11, at 7:30 p.m.
Carbone, co-author of the
book Education For American
Teachers, assisted the former
Harvard president, James Bry­ant
Conant, in the compilation
of the controversial report on
teacher education. One of the
more argumentative aspects of
the report was a recommenda­tion
that more emphasis be
placed upon pure academic
courses in lieu of teacher me­thod
courses.
Dr. Carbone completed his
undergraduate work at East­ern
Montana College. He re­ceived
his master's degree from
Emory University, where he
wrote a master's thesis entitl­ed
"The Relationship Of Grad­uate
Training to Teaching
Practices." Carbone completed
his doctoral work at the Uni­versity
of Chicago in 1961.
He is currently serving in
the position of assistant pro­fessor
and assistant director,
internship master of arts in
teaching program, division of
teacher education, Emory Uni­versity.
His articles and book
reviews have appeared in sev­eral
leading publications in the
education field.
Carbone is being brought to
Auburn by the local chapter of
the men's education honor fra­ternity,
Phi Delta Kappa. Dr.
Andrew Weaver, faculty advi­sor
for the fraternity, stated
that the public is invited to at­tend
the lecture.

Poll Shows Three-Day Dead Week
Preferred By Faculty And Students
By GEORGE McMILLAN, JR.
A three-day Dead Week at
the end of each quarter is fav­ored
by 78 per cent of the Au­burn
faculty and 91 per cent
of the student body, according
to surveys recently conducted
by Harry Strack, chairman of
the student senate's Dead Week
Committee.
According to questionnaires
turned in by faculty and stu­dents,
a Dead Week shortened
to three days with no tests or
extra-curricular activities sche­duled
would be most effective.
In compliance with the r e ­sults
of the questionnaires, the
Dead Week committee has set
up Dead Week for this acade­mic
year to begin on Monday

for a Dead Week, but that it
should be shortened.
—85% of the faculty feel
that a Dead Week in which in­structors

and students schedule no extra­curricular
activities would be
effective.
—92% of the faculty said
they would cooperate with such
a program by not giving quizzes
during the Dead Week period.
—45% of the faculty said
they would not want a univer­sity
policy prohibiting giving
tests during Dead Week.

Glomerata To Change Format;
Main Emphasis Put On Schools
By GARY WINSETT
Auburn students will be in
for a pleasant surprise when
they receive the Auburn year­book
next spring, according to
Glomerata Editor Jimmy Ri­ley.
Riley declined to give the
details but said the 66th edi­tion
of the Glomerata will be
different from any past year­book.
The new organization of the
Glomerata is placing more em­phasis
on t h e individual
schools. This type of organiza­tion
will be different from
that used before. Riley said
the new yearbook will be more
of a personalized edition and
very distinguishable from the
stereotype of the past.
Riley had high praise for
those who have helped in
meeting the deadlines. He
called this year's staff one of
the most cooperative and en­ergetic
groups he has worked
with.
The new staff began work
on the Glomerata last spring
when they met with the print­er
to discuss plans for the new
yearbook. At that time they
laid out plans for the $58,000
Glomerata budget. The staff
has progressed rapidly since
then with some of the sections
already sent to the printer.
Some organizations on cam­pus
have failed to sign a con­tract
for space in the Glom.
Riley said this is a problem to
the staff because t h e book
could not be completely plan­ned
without this information.
He urged all organizations to
sign a contract soon if they
want space.
The next deadline is Dec. 12
for the class section. Riley
mentioned there is much work
for interested persons. This
includes typing and picture
filing. He said anyone inter­ested
can work at the Glom
office from 2-5 p.m. each af­ternoon.
Graduating seniors can have
the Glomerata mailed to them
by leaving their address at the
Glom office.
Benson Printing Co. and
Gulbenk Engraving Co., both
of Nashville, Term., are r e ­spectively
the printer and the
engraver for the '64 Glomer­ata.

JUNIOR COUNSELORS
WSGA's Junior Counselor
Program is one of the most suc­cessful
and productive pro­grams
to be introduced to Au­burn
since co-eds entered the
college. The idealistic purpose
for the Junior Counselors is
summarized in their handbook:
". . . maintaining among the
new students at Auburn Uni­versity
a desire for knowledge,
a sensitive social conscience,
and a pattern of behavior which
will reflect intrinsic honor." To
live up to these duties the "J.
C.'s" hold meetings several
times during the quarters with
their counselees (about 25 per
J. C.) and discuss the rules,
problems and, needless to say,
a joke or ten is thrown in.
This program, like the Stan­dards
Board, is a preventative
organ. It was begun to try to
make Auburn women not only
learn the rules and to abide by
them, but to let them know
why the rules were set up in
the first place. The Junior
Counselors are not "police".
They live in the freshmen
dorms with the girls, get to
know each one personally as
the year progresses.
The idea of the J. C.'s is that
having been here at least two
years, she will know what is
proper to wear where, will have
developed study habits so that
the freshmen will get the idea
that college isn't the "party"
that big brother talked about
when he was here.
The Counselors were chosen
by a board of faculty and ad­ministration
m e m b e r s last
spring for this, the first year
of the program. The field was
narrowed to twenty out of the
many who applied. Each wo­man
was carefully considered
with personal recommendations,
personal interviews, considera­tion
to availability of the wo­man's
time, grades (a 1.5 over­all
is the minimum) and her
high standards.
Besides •, being an honor, a

TRIMMING THE CHRISTMAS TREE at Alumni Hall,
a group of junior counselors joined forces with some of
the dorm's freshmen women to prepare for the arrival of
the yuletide spirit on the Auburn Campus. Standing (from

Roselle, and Hunter Smith. Seated are freshmen Ann Nix,

Pre-College Summer Counseling To
Replace Fall Registration Confusion
Along with Auburn's increased enrollment comes the
problem of how to keep freshmen from going "stark-raving
mad" at registration and orientation.
The University has come up with a proposed solution
—a summer counseling program. This program will take
the place of the two week ori­entation
schedule held immedi­ately
before school in the fall.
The freshmen, 300 a week
for about six weeks, will come
to Auburn and for two and a
half days, will become thorough­ly
acquainted with the campus,
the administration, their indi­vidual
curricula, and Auburn
activities, while their parents
familiarize themselves with the
school and faculty.
The needs for the program
were stated in- a report to the
Board of Trustees. About one-half
of the students who enroll
at Auburn do not graduate. A-bout
one-third of the students
who enroll at Auburn change
their curricula. Too many of
the freshmen entering college
or the first time have not had
the opportunity to , consider
realistically their interests and
aptitudes, the report said.
Twenty-five h i g h school
counselors, who will supple­ment
the college staff, will take
a course in counseling ,become
thoroughly oriented to Auburn
for the first two weeks of class,
and then serve as counselors
for the summer program.
sides keeping up with her] The students will be assisted
grades, she keeps up with the' by taking appropriate tests and
grades of 25 other girls. She
knows that she is constantly
being made an example of the
standards of an Auburn wo­man.
She has to have an ex­tensive
and thorough know­ledge
of what is happening on
campus, of what activities are
available to the girls so that
she will be able to answer or
at least know where to find
out the answers to the multi­tude
of questions that are ask­ed
by her counselees.
Is it worth it? Is it worth
the emotional, physical and
mental strain? Is it worth it
when a bunch of flowers mys­teriously
appears in your room
or a shy note slips under your
door telling you to "have a very
merry Christmas, from all of
by sessions with the counselors
in discovering their interests
and aptitudes so that they may
make an intelligent choice of
curriculum. They will also re­gister
for a full load of classes.
This is one of the most impor­tant
features of the program
because it will give the school
staff, a much better means of
estimating the number of stu­dents
who will want a particu­lar
course and they will be able
to schedule the classes accord­ingly.
All the freshman will
have to do when he gets to
school will be to pick up his
schedule and pay registration
fee.
A few colleges already have
this program. Among them are
the University, L.S.U. and
Florida State.

ENGLISHMAN PRAISES RELATIONS
OF AUBURN STUDENTS, FACULTY
By WALTER MASSEY
Assistant Professor David A. Millard, a recent addi­tion
to the faculty of the School of Architecture, in­stantly
destroys one's image of the average Englishman,
Instead of the usually conceptualized tweedy attire and
manner, he is progressive in thought, impeccable in ap­pearance,
and in general, a
handsome a n d personable
young man.
In 1959, Professor Millard
earned his B.A. degree from
the University of Manchester,
located, incidentally, in Man­chester,
England, the place he
calls home. It was during his
years as a student that he met
his wife, Judith, who was also
an architecture student. Mrs.
Millard is presently employed
by a local architectural firm
here in Auburn.
FACULTY QUALITY
Professor Millard is impress­ed
with the quality of the Au­burn
faculty. He pointed out
the diversity of the members
of the faculty and their enthu­siasm
and close contact with
the student, which he finds
somewhat lacking in England.
According to Professor Mil­lard,
enthusiasm is a very im­portant
part of the role of an
instructor but is very hard to
maintain. Because of t he
"sheer numbers" of the stu­dents
that an instructor has to
teach, he is often forced to
work on a level that is not
challenging to him. Over a
period of time he becomes
"ground down."
A means to counteract this
effect is for the instructor to
engage in individual practice
or research. This makes for
"feed-back" between applica­tion
and the instruction which
maintains academic vigor on
the part of the teacher. Pro­fessor
Millard hinted that pro­grams
of research are under
consideration which would in­volve
the Auburn faculty.
SYSTEMS CONFLICT
Professor Millard pointed
out the fact that in the British
system of education a process
of examinations methodically
selects those students who are
best qualified for university
study. Because of the smaller
number of students, it is easier
for' the' instructor to maintain
academic excellence. But at
the same time, many students
of fairly good potential are
denied career opportunities. In
comparing "education of an
elite" and America's system of
mass education, Professor MiU
lard prefers the American
way, although both have their
drawbacks, as he sees it.
Professor Millard finds that
his students have a "lack of
awareness" of the problems
imposed upon the architect by
the tremendous increases in
population and increased tech­nology.
The world trend is one
of urbanization. So far, how­ever,
urban expansion has
been Very wasteful in terms
of land according to Professor
Millard. England today faces a
grave problem of shortage of
space. The United States may
also be faced with a similar
situation in the next 100 years
unless urban growth is organ­ized
so as to conserve the land
now available in which to ex­pand.
The answer, Professor Mil­lard
says, probably lies in the
use of technology to solve the
problem of urban expansion.
Thus far, however, technology
has only aided in the spread­ing
of our cities, instead of
concentrating them and.main­taining
the necessary differen­tial
between urban and rural
areas. Probably future plan­ning
will have to provide for
expansion into vertical levels
or strata so that normal acti­vity
can be carried on without
the congestion that threatens
urban living.
POPULATION PRESSURE
Professor Millard contends
that population pressure will
be so great in the future that
no single building can be con­structed
without considering
its effect on the entire city.
Transportation of the people
occupying that building will
have to be considered. The ef­fect
that building has on the
access to the others that sur­round
it must also be taken
into consideration. The archi­tect
of the future must care­fully
conserve space. Through
all this the architect must not
abandon beauty of construc­tion,
however.
The main problem, as Pro­fessor
Millard sees it, is that
technology has advanced so
rapidly that there has been a
failure to order the total of
our environment. Advances
that were brought about to
solve problems have merely
created new ones instead. To
cope with this problem, a
greater organization must be
achieved. Already the separate
images that were once identi­fied
with European countries
have begun to break down.
The Common Market is indi­cative
of the modern trend to­ward
close international or­ganization.
If widespread or­ganization
can be achieved,
man will be able to come to
terms with the complex prob­lems
that hamper his produc­tivity
and restrict his move­ment.

Responsibility II
Along with one's responsibility to
himself in the forthcoming integration
of Auburn University, there are addi­tional
responsibilities to school, state,
and nation.
We noticed in a recent news article
that public institutions of higher learn­ing
in the State of Mississippi have
just now been restored to normal ac-reditation
status. The Southern Associa­tion
of Colleges and Schools had im­posed
a special "surveillance" on the
Mississippi institutions after political
intervention by state officials in last
year's integration crisis at Oxford. Ac­cording
to the university newspaper,
'Ole Miss' lost an abnormal number of
faculty members last year.
Auburn University and the State of
Alabama cannot afford to have these
shadows hanging over their heads. This
institution cannot afford to have a na­tional
television audience watch a pa­geant
of shame unfurl before its eyes.
We are in a state of progress.
Through the efforts of The Governor
and State Legislature, more money is
available for buildings and teacher sal­aries.
Our academic prestige is slowly
but surely inching forward. No, we
cannot afford to throw all of this away
on the admission of one student who
happens to be a Negro.
Is any or all of this relevant to the
individual student? Yes, it is. Student
number xx500 could bring all of these
maladies upon Auburn, Alabama, and
the nation by violent and disruptive
conduct during the enrollment of Har­old
Franklin.
• A loss of accreditation or even accre­ditation
"surveillance" would affect
each and every one of us. Our degrees
would be of much less value. The cali­bre
of our instruction would be devalu­ed
when numerous teachers leave. No
one likes to be associated with shame.
This is the last ounce of prevention
that we can provide in this matter. The
naxt time we speak, the registration of
Harold Franklin will be an accomplish­ed
fact. It's up to you. Heaven forbid
that future comments will be feeble
efforts to provide a pound of cure.
Football Loses
We rejoice in the appointment of Au*
burn freshman coach Vince Dooley to
the head coaching job at the University
of Georgia. At the same time, we are
repulsed at the ousting of coach John­ny
Griffith.
It is at such times that the ugly side
of big time sports appears. Regardless
of the Wallace Butts controversy, it is
our belief that John Griffith would still
be the Georgia coach had he produced
an 8-2 or 9-1 season.
The win is almighty. The develop­ment
of character is only something
that the newspapers parrot back to the
public as a defense mechanism against
the critics. While it may be true that
character is developed between the end
zones, it is only bought by the public
in the case of winners.
Coach Ralph Jordan is a wonderful
man this year. He's a big winner. At
this time last year, he probably felt the
repulsion that Johnny Griffith must
feel toward many of those noble sup­porters
of a school's athletic program.
In Auburn's case, it only takes one Sat­urday
afternoon to make a bum out of
a good man.
As of this minute, Vince Dooley, foot­ball
mastermind at the University of
Georgia, is a man of great intellect,
character, and integrity. By this time a
couple of years from now, he too may
be a bum.
The sporting world took a beating
at the University of Georgia last week.
It makes us wonder just how far from
the Colosseum in Rome we have come.
The public still destroys men on a field
designed for fun.
We do not condemn the game or the
men who coach it. The finger of guilt
must be pointed at the gladiator in the
stands. Take away his pocketbook and
alumni badge, and he loses his claim to
masculinity.
Football must cry with Johnny Grif­fith.
The critics have won this day in
court.
Final Exams
Fall quarter is a difficult time to in­duce
academic awareness. We always
seem to be able to put scholastic en­deavors
off one more time for a foot­ball
game or some extracurricular ac­tivity.
This time is over. Final exami­nations
are here. Some people will be
able to salvage an otherwise disastrous
academic quarter during the exam days
ahead. All should try.
Again, we would like' to present some
unofficial statistics concerning the rela­tionship
between final exams and the.
regular quarter's work over a five year
period. According to this information,
15% of the student body experienced
a grade drop in a course because of the
final examination. 80% of the grades
did not change. Only 5% raised their
grade in any given course because of
the final. While not official, these fi­gures
at least indicate the tremendous
effort required of students to bring
grades up during the finals.
New students should take noticei
Normal preparation will not suffice for
final exams. In most cases, they will
be much more difficult than regular
course quizzes. At least two or three
hundred students will probably fail to
return to school next quarter because
of academic deficiencies. Do not be one
of these.
At the suggestion of a friend, we have
decided to make our little contribution
to the academic side of this quarter by
printing an "A". This "A" is dedicated
to those students who have never seen
one except on an athletic sweater and
to those professors who have never
given one.
All joking aside, academic courses
are your reason for being here. They
will also be your reason for not being
here should you fail to prepare ade­quately
for the finals ahead.
One Paper Please
Our circulation department has been
besieged lately by complaints about the
unavailability of newspapers. The heart
of this problem seems to lie in the fact
that many students take more than one
paper.
Under current procedures, we are
allowed to print papers for only 90%
of each quarter's enrollment. Although
we do not agree with this procedure,
it is one which we must follow until
changed by the Board of Student Publi­cations.
One can easily see that great
numbers of students will not get pap­ers
when there are numerous people
taking more than one copy.
We urge you to show some respect
for the rights of your fellow student.
He too pays for this thing.

Foot-Dragging Congress May Take
Stand On Needed Foreign Aid Bill
By Bobby Boettcher
The first session of the 88th
Congress has a mountain-sized
pile of unfinished business on
its hands and seems to be
dealing with the situation with
all deliberate foot-dragging.
Although early expectations
were that this Congress would
be one of positive action on
vital legislation, very littie
that is noteworthy has been
passed by either house, a nd
some of the key bills have not
even been reported to the
floor. This is, to a great ex­tent,
due to exploitation of
archaic committee rules by
equally archaic S o u t h e rn
chairmen. Yet this Congress
has in its membership the po­tential
to become a really dy­namic
legislative force, and
may prove in its second ses­sion
to be one of the most pro­gressive
Congresses in many
years. As this session nears its
expiration at a snail's pace,
there is one encouraging sign
—the agreement by a House-
Senate conference committee
on a compromise foreign bill,
one which has every indica­tion
of being enacted into law.
After the bill had been
slashed ruthlessly by almost
$1 billion, the conference com­mittee
came up with a life-saving
decision to restore the
President's authority to give
Poland and Yugoslavia "most
favored nation" status in trade
relations. A door slammed in
the face of Poland and Yugo­slavia
would have been a ser­ious
setback to our foreign
policy in those critical coun­tries.
In the absence of any com­mon
ideological ground on
which to stand, we have
sought other areas of under­standing
with these two Com­munist
nations, and have found
it to be to our mutual advant­age
to carry on trade and ex­tend
aid to them. The results
of these relationships have
more than justified their ex­istence.
Yugoslavia h a s re­peatedly
turned down mem­bership
in t h e Communist
Warsaw Pact, is not a member
of the Council for Mutual Eco­nomic
Assistance (Communist
version of the European Com­mon
Market), and has carried
on 77 per cent of its trade last
• year with the West.
The U.S. Information Agency
has complete freedom to carry
on its program there, and Eng­lish
has replaced Russian as
the second language. And in
foreign affairs, Yugoslavia is
swinging from the left to the
center as is evidenced by its
neutrality on the Berlin prob­lem.
Poland, formerly deeply en­trenched
in the monolithic So­viet
bloc, has moved steadily
toward greater independence
since the riots of 1956. Reli­gious
freedom has increased,
" collectivation of farms has
been modified so that much of
the arable land is now pri­vately
owned, and trade with
the West has increased to 40
per cent of the total trade.
To abandon these two coun­tries,
and others like them,
would be to admit the impos­sibility
of amiable solution to
problems with them. They
would be left to the Russians,
who would quickly reseal any
crack in the Iron Curtain, and
keep all its satellites in sub­missive
orbit. Although to a
limited degree only, Congress
now seems to realize this..

different individuals is and
always has been distasteful to
society. It disrupts the organi­zation
of established norms
and standards; it is contrary
to cultural education and is
therefore distasteful.
But somehow society molds
and culture broadens and fin­ally
this new race becomes as
acceptable as a new dance
style or a new mode of dress.
Somehow society survives.
The American Indians didn't
like it much when those lazy
Irishmen came to the New
World and took, as brides,
many of their young women.
They wanted no part of the
weak white race. People in the
"old country" didn't exactly
relish the idea of having "half-breed"
grandbabies, either.
Certainly Indians and Whites
alike were disowned, disin­herited
or at least shunned by
the "pure" members of society.
That was more than a cen­tury
ago. Today in the south­eastern
United States, those
people of Indian and Irish
heritage (and there are many)
may even hold "their heads a
little high when telling about
their ancestors. They don't act
like victims of intermarriage,
but they are.
And here we go again.
Today our societiy is in a
state of revolt. It is totally
repulsed by the possibility of
Negro and white intermarri­age.
The Whites don't even
want to think about it. The
Negroes aren't exactly in love
with the idea, etiher. Our cul­tural
education, like a con­science,
screams out at us and
destroys our ability to reason.
And this is natural; it is un­derstandable.
We are all pup­pets
of our cultural back­grounds.-
It can't be helped.
So we tremble and scream
and worry. We are frightened
and justly so. Intermarriage is
inevitable, just as shame and
persecution a r e inevitable.
Many will suffer; many will
cry; everyone will be afraid.
But someday, in two or three
centuries, things will settle
down again.
Is Intellectual Integrity Sacrificed ( E d i t o r s i
To Keep A School's Good Name? I y •
I VIl1e ws
By Jim Dinsmore
In this time of so-called
"crisis," Dr. Draughon has
said, "We must prepare now
for the possible admission of
Harold Franklin . . ." It has
been obvious for at least the
last five years that a Negro
would somehow be admitted
to Auburn University. During
this time, what did the ad­ministration
do to prepare the
students of Auburn for the in­evitability?
Why this sudden
"we must prepare now" atti­tude?
Who should be blamed
in the event of trouble, which
Dr. Draughon and the student
senate (it is difficult to separ­ate
the two concerning this
matter) acknowledge as pos­sible?
I hesitate to answer these
questions for fear t h e truth
might be interpreted as "in­flammatory."
I will say that virtually
every time any mention of the
race issue popped up on the
editorial page of this paper,
the administration expressed
severe personal criticism of
both the writer and editor. The
writers in at least four in­stances
received letters of cen­sure.
Prior to this quarter—
with the injunction hanging
over our heads—the adminis­tration
has never, to my know­ledge,
encouraged student dis­cussion
of this critical problem
so soon to become an Auburn
reality. Does this demonstrate
foresight? Is this facing up to
a problem? What will be the
result of the administration's
"don't worry about it till it-happens"
attitude?
Again, I hesitate to answer.
But I think it is vitally im­portant
to consider these ques­tions
now, so that we might
face the situation with under­standing
and not with emo­tional
surprise.
There is one important ..as­pect
of the crash-program
statements which might throw
light on the administration's
prior attitude regarding inte­gration.
This concerns "the
protection-of the good name of
Auburn University." For years
now the administration has
been desperately trying to
protect our good name. It
would seem that a dynamic
administration would be more
concerned with the university
itself than with a name we
may or may not have. It would
seem that rather than try to
"protect" the administration
would try to "enhance," per­haps
by encouraging a free
flow of ideas to help our in­tellectual
development, per­haps
by urging us to be aware
of, intelligently understand,
and take an active interest in
the most critical problem fac­ing
our country and now Au­burn—
integration. But, per­haps
the administration feels
that mention and discussion of
integration at Auburn would
hurt its "good name." Perhaps
we should sacrifice the intel­lectual
integrity of Auburn
University to its "good name."
Perhaps it is better to face the
admission of Harold Franklin
with only a few months ad­vance
notice, so as not to hurt
anyone's feelings or hurt the
"good name" of Auburn Uni­versity.
Nonetheless, I do believe
that the students of Auburn,
despite the attitude of our ad­ministration,
w i l l h a n d le
themselves well in the face of
Auburn's integration. If we
cannot act out of an intelli­gent
acceptance of the inevi­table,
at least we can act out
of negative fear for ourselves
and for Auburn.
Unquestioned Submission
Our Attitudes Must Be Pretended
Until The "Naturals" Can Become
By Hunter Smith
I grew up with Negroes. I
was "raised" by one. I re­member
the definite, dark,
warm and beautiful face of a
woman who stayed with me
and my brother until we mov­ed
away'from that town when
I was eight years old.
Another face then, that of
an enormous, old, also beau­tiful,
d a r k woman named
Josie. Somedays she brought
her daughter to work with her.
She was a shy, quiet, inquisi­tive
girl—older than I. She
was silly because she called
me "Miss."
When Josie got too old to
manage two homes at once,
that shy, silly girl, who was a
girl no longer, came to work
for us. She, Pearl, stayed only
a short time and her younger
sister, Martha, took her place.
Pearl had gone North to
school. Martha and I became
great friends. I sat for endless
hours listening to her stories,
and would be weak from
laughter—we both would be—
after the session.
One day I went with Mom
out to Josie's house, an old
run-down, huge house. Josie
met us and told us that Pearl
was back from the North, and
instead of being so happy as I
would have expected a mother
to be, that big, wonderful wo­man
was almost sick with
shame. Pearl, unmarried, was
going to have a child. I've
never since then seen eyes that
held such hurt and heartbreak.
But she never cried or asked
us for pity. She didn't want
any. This is the scene that I
think of when I hear some ig­norant
blind person speak of
the absence of morals of the
Negro race.
I was aware of the differ­ence,
not only of the skin co­lor,
between the white and the
Negro races. In that small
North Alabama town I grew
up. I played on the cotton
bales behind the gin with Ne­groes
and whites alike. I stole
apples out of Mrs. Barnes'
yard with them. I built tree-houses
by the dozens with our
yard man's sons and daugh­ters.
They were smart and
quick as a dart and could
out-joke me anytime.
One day, one of the boys
noticed that I couldn't drive
in a nail worth a darn. In an
unthinking and impatient ges­ture,
he reached out to take
the hammer out of my hand to
show me. His father, who was
clipping grass beneath the
tree, suddenly called to him.
That man's voice had a fearful
ring to it. The boy's arm in­stantly
retreated a n d his
young face flashed from inno­cent
abandon to shamed obed­ience—
like that of one who
has suddenly been reminded
of the terrible consequence of
breaking a rule. I've seen that
downward glance of submis­sion
numberless times—on the
faces of those who have not
been reminded, but who have
had more "practice at being a
Negro" than the young boy
had.
That look has been on the
faces of all but a very few of
the Negroes I have seen. It has
become a part of my environ­ment.
I have not questioned it.
I have accepted it as I have
accepted the custom that the
fork belongs on the left side
of the plate.
No man should lower his
eyes in instant submission. No
man should have to prove that
he's human. One cannot help
but respect those Negroes who
have raised their eyes above
the wrong that the white man
has done them.
What about the rest of them?
What about the ones who have
practiced that look so long
that it has become a part of
them? And what about the
whites who have accepted it
unquestioned?
Before the South becomes
the "ideal" place that it's sup­posed
to become and the Ne­gro
becomes educated as he is
supposed to become educated,
the attitude not only of the
white toward the colored, but
that also of the colored to­ward
the white will have to
change.
We might have to "practice"
what we know to be "right"
for a while, and perhaps some­day
that will become a part of
our nature instead.

The fading flag of colonial­ism
will take another dip in
its tumultuous fall Thursday
when "Uhuru" — Freedom —
comes to Kenya, Britain's most
prosperous colony in East Af­rica.
Kenya-will-be beset by many
of the same'
pr o b 1 e m s
which have
plagued oth­er,
emerging,
independent
n a t i ons; in
Africa. Tri­balism
is a
factor. Two
p o w e r
groups, t he
Kikuyus and
Luos, c o n ­trol
the principal Kenyan po­litical
party, the Kenya Afri­can
National Union (KANU).
If these two groups should
become involved in a struggle
for power, a genuine power
vacuum could be created. The
chances are, however, that the
nation will of necessity unite
behind Prime Minister Jomo
Kenyatta in a coalition of one-party
rule. Even these primi­tives—
as we are so fond of
calling them—realize that sta­bility
is the only way to a-chieve
their purpose of "Ha-rambee"—
Let's get going.
Like all of the other new
nations in Africa, Kenya will
become an even more impor­tant
factor in the diplomatic
activities of the United States.
The current population of
Kenya is 8% million. With the
current birth rate surge, the
population is expected to
reach 11 million by 1970.
Should a power vacuum be­come
a reality in Kenya, the
Soviets will try to move in, as
they did in the recent Katan­ga-
Congo crisis. Surprisingly
enough, the communist move­ment
has made little headway
in the new African nations.
Inroads of the United States
are, not sufficient to cause wide
rejoicing in the State Depart­ment.
The heart of the U.S. prob­lem
in Africa appears to cen­ter
around our racial relations
at home. These non-whites,
and the world population is
three-fourths non-white, des- "
pise the pictures they see from
racial disturbances in Bir­mingham
and Philadelphia.
As a matter of fact, African
leaders have- turned insurrec­tionist
minds away from do-'
mestic problems by calling
their attention to the program
for freeing "enslaved black
brothers" in South Africa.
There is a move about on the
African continent to destroy
Apartheid — racial separation
—in South Africa. We shall
undoubtedly wake up some
morning and discover that a •
bloody massacre has occurred
in South Africa. After this de­struction
of Apartheid, it is
quite likely that segregation
in the United States will be­come
the number one hate of
Africa.
There are those in this coun­try
who do not feel that we
should care one iota about
what a bunch of people across
the ocean and in the jungles
think of us. Pure facts should
quickly eradicate any validity
attributed to these arguments.
In the first place, there is a
growing movement in Africa
to build a United States of
Africa on the continent. When
accomplished, A f r i c a would
represent t h e third major
power bloc in the world. As
such, any swing in the shift
of world power will take place
at the African's discretion. Of
course, this concept is a pro­jection.
It is probably at least
a century away. We must re­member,
however, that it was
only two or three hundred
years ago that we were chop­ping
trees and building lob ca­bins
in the midst of savages.
The technology available to
the emerging nations of Africa
is far superior to that which
we had in our developing
stages.
Kenya will be a new and vi­brant
nation Thursday. As it
celebrates the concept of in­dependence
and self-govern­ment,
it will likely look to the
United States for an example
of leadership. Let's hope that
we shall soon be able to pro­vide
it in principle as well as
in theory. Time's running out
in a fast-moving world. Things
are done in decades now that
used to take centuries.
PRESIDENT VERNON DUNCAN spoke to the student
body assembled in the middle of Toomer's Corner at the
1938 Orange Bowl pep rally. After completing a 5-2-3 sea­son,
the Tigers accepted a bid to play in one of the earliest
Orange Bowl games. They defeated Michigan State 6-0.
THE 1963 ORANGE BOWL SPIRIT splits the air about
Cliff Hare Stadium Thursday night as Auburn readies for
an assault on the Cornhuskers from Nebraska. The football
Tigers were also honored this night for their 10-8 triumph
in the Alabama version of Russian Roulette.
Letters To The Editor
Pledge Signing Called
Insult To Integrity
Editor, The Plainsman:
During a recent meeting of
the Auburn University admini­stration
and the student body,
an announcement concerning
new rules was made. These
rules dealt with certain restric­tions
which will be placed up­on
the student body due to the
integration of our university.
One would like to think that
these rules are being applied so
as to prevent any acts which
may prove detrimental to the
operation and maintenance of
this educational institution.
However, the requirement
that all students who desire
to be enrolled during the win­ter
quarter must sign a pledge
is a personal insult to the in-tergrity
of the student body,
both individually and as a
group. Personally, I am for the
admittance of the Negro stu­dent
as long as his reasons are
the same as mine, the desire
to obtain an education. How­ever,
certain groups on this
campus are opposed to his ad'-'"
mittance and should have the
democratic privilege of peace,-,
ful protest. By signing this
pledge, we forfeit all such
rights.
It is no honor to our univer­sity
if the peaceful integration
which most of us desire results
through the use of a signed
pledge. We will prove nothing
to the world which will watch
our every action. Certainly the
administration is justified in
taking steps that will guarantee
that the name of Auburn is not
harmed in any way, as long as
these steps do not interfere
with our rights as a citizen.
• This could be done by a person­al
appeal to the student body
emphasizing the effects of poor
public relations on the value
of our degrees, both at gradua­tion
and in the future. Strong
law-enforcement should see to
: it that peaceful demonstrations
remain just that. Also, outsiders
should not be allowed on this
campus during and immediately
after registration. These things
can be done through the will­ing
and loyal cooperation of the
individual student and without
the force of a signed loyalty
oath. This action should be a
personal affront to all of us.
I, for one, do protest.

rules and regulations and strict
enforcement of these rules and
regulations. I heartily endorse
the stand and the set of rules
that the Student Senate recom­mended
and which were ap­proved,
with one exception.
I think a mistake has been
made about the checking of stu­dent
firearms at the ROTC
Hangar. When any crisis in­volving
law and order and the
chance of violence arises, the
first thought is to control fire­arms
which may become a wea­pon
of violence.
The passage of restrictive
laws, or rules, will not disarm
the lawless element. The "Sul-disarm
the lawbreakers, only
livan Law" in New York didn't
the citizens who believed in
obeying the law.
Persons who possess firearms
and have any intention of us-
/ing them for lawless purposes
are not going to turn them in at
the request of any law enforce­ment
agency. Only decent up­right
citizens who believe in
their right to keep and bear
arms but also recognize that
this, MghJ'Vi superceded by the
piMtt^&rcty are going to turn
in their arms.
TifP/lgulation about check­ing
of firearms will antagonize
many students here at Au­burn
who would otherwise have
been wholehearted in their sup­port
of the program to main­tain
law and order. These stu­dents,
many of whom will leave
their cherished guns at home
rather than take a chance of
having them confiscated (which
could happen if Federal Troops
are forced to -come to Auburn),
will be considerably less will­ing
to cooperate than if they
had not been ordered to turn
in their firearms.
I hope that the student body
at Auburn University will bear
in mind that the stringent mea­sures
that have been brought
to bear are for their safety and
the good name of the Universi­ty.
I also hope that you will
understand that those of us
who belong to the great fra­ternity
of gun lovers are sad­dened
to learn that a great Uni­versity
with a wonderful ad­ministration
doesn't realize that
one cannot disarm the lawless
by legislation.

Danforth Winners
Get Career Aids
By CATHYE McDONALD
In recent years, industry has
begun to take an interest in the
education of America's young
people. Each year the Purina
Company awards a special type
of scholarship to one freshman
and one senior in the field of
agriculture from each of the
land-grant colleges in all fifty
states. This award is known as
the Danforth Scholarship and
provides special training in the
field of Agriculture.
The two winners of the Dan­forth
Scholarship at Auburn for
the past year were W. T. Stall-worth
and Lamar Lee. The a-ward
paid all of their expenses
to a camp outside of Muskigen,
Mich, last August. At the camp,
they received training in lead­ership,
creative living, and oth­er
fields which will be helpful
to them in their chosen careers
in agriculture.
The Danforth Scholarship is
a good example of the interest
that industry has begun to
take in the future of America.
Auburn Novice Debate Team Wins
University Of Georgia Tournament
By BOB SMITH
The Auburn Novice Debate
Team is winner of the second
annual University of Georgia
Novice Debate Tournament held
recently.
The team, composed of de­baters
with no collegiate de­bate
experience prior to this
quarter, obtained a perfect
score in debating teams from
many colleges and universities,
including the U. S. Naval Aca­demy,
The University of Geor­gia,
Emory University, Stetson
University, The University of
South Florida, and Vanderbilt
University.
Debate Coach Jim Kilpatrick
expressed "great satisfaction"
over the defeat of the Navy
team, since "it is reputed to be
one of the foremost in the na­tion,"
. Auburn debaters participat­ing
in the tournament were
Jim Bryne, Joe Smith, Ma.rcia
Naugle, and Eddie Freeman.
Freeman was the recipient of
the Superior Speaker's Certifi­cate,
which is the highest indi­vidual
speaker aw;ard of {he
tournament.
The Debate team has attend­ed
four tournaments this quart­er,
winning 43 rounds. Twenty-six
students have participated
so far, of which only two have
had previous collegiate debate
experience. Kilpatrick said that
this year's team has compiled
Lions Club Sells
Tiger Car Plates
A drive has been started by
the Auburn Lions Club to sell
War Eagle auto tags to Auburn
supporters. All proceeds are to
be used for local civic pro­grams.
Approximately 4,000
have already been sold.
The tag has the words "Au­burn"
and "War Eagle" plus
a tiger head on an orange back­ground
and is manufactured by
a local firm.
The tags may be obtained by
$1.00 from any member of the
Auburn Lions Club, or from
the following business firms
who are cooperating in the sale':
Andrews Standard Service Sta­tion,
First National Bank,
Heart of Auburn Restaurant,
Howard's American Service
Station, Johnston and Malone
Book Store, Kwik Chek, South-side
Service Station, and the
University Bookstore.
"a better percentage of wins
than any other team in Auburn
history."
Plans for the winter quarter
include the Agnes Scott All
Southern Debate Tournament
in Atlanta, Jan. 10, at which
A.uburn will be the defending
champion. Jan. 28, the varsity
team will attend the Harvard
Invitational Tournament, which
will be their largest tournament
for the year.
Kilpatrick stated that the
Auburn Debate Council meets
each Tuesday night at 7 on the
third floor of Samford Hall and
that any student is welcome to
attend. Meetings consist of
practice rounds on this year's
National Debate Topic: "Re­solved,
that the Federal Gov­ernment
should guarantee an
opportunity of higher educa­tion
to all qualified high school
graduates." Debaters must be
able to argue both for and a-gainst
the question.
Student Body Leader
Calls For New Unity
Student Body President Jim
Vickrey called upon Auburn
student leaders in a recent let­ter
to "rededicate" themselves
to the "achievement of peace
and harmony." The letter was
written following the death of
President Kennedy, denounc­ing
his assassination and call­ing
for a new unity and an
atmosphere of cooperation,
even in controversy.
' Vickrey called upon student
leaders to "rededicate yourself
to the principles that make
America great—tolerance, co­operation,
love—and to let this
crime against humanity be the
stimulus that will affect the
kind of world in which men
can always exchange ideas
without lead, a n d disagree­ment
without war."

Education Money
Shows Increase
In Last 2 Years
State legislatures across the
country appropriated close to
$2.1 billion in state tax funds
for higher education in 1963-64,
a. gain of 26 per cent over a
two-year period.
According to a report pre­pared
by Professor M. M,
Chambers of Indiana Universi­ty
for the Joint Office of In
dustrial Research, this is an
increase of $425.5 million over
the total of $1,646.4 billion ap
propriated in 1961-62. Percen­tage
increases in state tax ap­propriations
have moved up
steadily from the 22.7 per cent
increase for the two-year per­iod
ending 1961-62, to 24.5
per cent for the period ending
1962-63, to 26 per cent for the
period ending 1963-64. In
terms of dollars, appropriations
increased from $1.3 billion ap­propriated
in 1959-60 to al­most
$2.1 billion for 1963-64,
an increase of 61.5 per cent
over the four year period.
State by state gains ranged
from a high of Alaska's 59.3
per cent increase to a low of
Mississippi's eight per cent rise.
For the first time in several
years, no state showed a de­cline
in appropriations.
Covering over 400 colleges
and universities in the 50 states,
the report is based on appro­priations
of state tax funds for
operating expenses only and
does not include reappropriated
income from tuitions, dormi­tories,
athletic events and other
auxiliary enterprises.

THE BEARD FAD ON CAMPOS
WILL END DEC. 20
Sweethearts and parents will be giving
REMINGTON9 LEKTRONIC II shavers for Christ­mas.
Shaving will become easier, cleaner and
more comfortable than having a beard.
Here's why:
There's the cordless feature.
Sealed-in, rechargeable energy
cells let you shave without a plug.
And what shaves they are! 348
cutting edges of high-carbon steel
(sharper and tougher than stain­less
steel) whisk whiskers off.
These edges are honed on an
angle. So whiskers get sliced off
instead of "ploughed up." 756
whisker-gathering slots in the big shaving
head feed whiskers to the cutters faster. And
on top of the shaving head: REMINGTON
Roller Combs. Adjust to any skin or beard-protect
skin; set up whiskers.
Forget to recharge? There's a
cord. Plug it in and shave any-where-
so get a REMINGTON LEK­TRONIC
II for Christmas. After all,
you wouldn't want to be the only
non-conformist on campus who
isn't clean shaven.

Now-Chevy spirit in a new kind of car!
We built this one to do more than just stand around
looking beautiful. Held its weight down in the 3,000-

'Best Sports Coverage In The SEC
THE PLAINSMAN AUBURN, ALABAMA, TUESDAY, DEC. 10, 1963 PAGE SIX
George Gardner . . .
BRADBERRY
The recent change that Joel Eaves made from head basket­ball
coach at Auburn to athletic director at the University of
Georgia caught many followers of the War Eagle by surprise.
Several days later, when freshman coach Vince Dooley announc­ed
that he was leaving the Plains to assume the head football
coaching position at the same institution, the rumors really
began to fly.
Many students have speculated that other members of the
Tiger coaching staff would be leaving to join Dooley at Athens.
Somehow believing us to be moderately informed concerning
such matters, these same individuals have questioned us about
the status of the 1963 Auburn coaching staff. As most loyal
football fans should know by now, the Tiger freshman and var­sity
coaches are devoting their entire days (and nights) to
recruiting duties at the present time. However, in an attempt
to answer some of the questions and .rumors, we caught Buck
Bradberry, the head Tiger backfield coach, between recruiting
trips at his home Sunday night.
"No, we don't anticipate any other
changes at the present time," answered
Coach Bradberry to our query. "Of
course, you don't really ever look for
these sort of moves. Coaching is similar
to other jobs in that security can be
hard to find. We have to think of our
family, too, just like other people."
In situations similar to the one at
Georgia, it is common practice for the
newly-appointed coach to request some
of his former cohorts to help him form
the nucleus of his new staff. It is hard
to tell if this will be the pattern at Athens. A virtual "house
cleaning" is in the wind at Georgia, where former Bulldog
coach Johnny Griffith's testimony against former Athletic Di­rector
Wally Butts in the infamous "Butts vs. Curtis Publish­ing
Co." incited controversy that wound its way to the very
doors of the state capitol. That a young coach such as Dooley
should be willing to begin his head coaching career in such a
hot-bed of pressures and opinions can be interperted as no­thing
but an asset to his fine character.
Coach Bradberry, who joined Ralph Jordan on the Plains
in 1951 to help give birth to the "Jordan era", said that Dooley
is the first of Jordan's assistants to be named to a major head
coaching position. The fact that such a young man (Dooley is 31
years of age) could land this position after serving only seven
years of apprenticeship under Jordan certainly reflects credit
upon the Auburn athletic department. And most definitely
it reflects more credit upon,the shining record of our beloved
' S h u g * r.-$?*~Aa&> -MJ:-
"We have, had some success, to say the least," stated
Bradberry, "and a few unsatisfied years." Since that fateful
day in 1951 wh^^Jorlfen anif Bradberry returned to the Plains
to rebuild AubtfrVi's' gridiron glory, the Tigers have posted 92
victories against only 35 defeats. For the past 11 consecutive
seasons, Auburn has fielded a winning football team. Accord­ing
to Bradberry, only two other educational institutions in the
nation have equaled or bettered that record—Ole Miss and Ohio
State.
"We're just not accustomed to losing," continued the man
who has the responsibility of making the Tiger offense "go".
"I personally think that Coach Jordan's philosophy of football
is second to none. He is the consistent type . . . not radical, like
other individuals. Shug appeals to his boys to play winning
football rather than driving them."
And in witness of this statement, we remembered many
hours of conversation we have had with members of the
current Tigers (who posted a 9-1 slate). We haven't found a
single one of them who considered this season anything but
enjoyable. Sure, they admitted to many hours of hard work—that
was evident—but they all enjoyed most of it (with perhaps
the exception of spring training). If
they had not, they wouldn't have climb­ed
to the lofty pinnacle of success
that they now enjoy—the fifth-ranked
team in the nation. They relied heavily
upon spirit, attitude, and pride as step­ping
stones to their Orange Bowl invi­tation.
"This team had it," said Bradberry.
"They had the leadership, the pride,
the loyalty . . . all that was necessary
to be a winner. However, they have
somewhat changed my personal philoso­phy
of winning football. Before, I had always rather have the
experience and material in the line—if I had a choice—and
give it up in the backfield. But on this team most of the
'material' was in the backfield." Here it must be noted in pass­ing
that the 1957 Auburn team that won the national cham­pionship
had the ail-Americans in the line—not the backfield.
A "new look" was evident in the Tiger line this fall.
The guards and tackles were relatively small—the backfield
outweighed them. But this line had more lateral speed, better
downfield blocking, and more aggressive tackling than we have
witnessed on the Plains in the past four seasons. Coach Buck
Bradberry agreed with our observations. " I think this was the
best-drilled line we have had since I've been here," added
Bradberry. "George (line coach George Atkins), along with
Gene Lorendo, Lee Hayley, and Joe Connally, has certainly
done a fine job with these boys."

Southern Mississippi Meets Auburn
In Sports Arena Saturday Evening
By WAYNE CHANCEY
In their third outing of the
current season, the Auburn
basketball Tigers will take on a
fast-breaking Southern Missis­sippi
team Saturday night at
7:30 in the Sports Arena.
Expecting to start for the Ti­gers
will be center Joe New­ton,
forwards Freddie Guy and
Lee Defore, and guards Larry
Chapman and John Blackwell.
Led by new Coach Bill Lynn,
the Tiger cagers rwill meet a
shuffling offense similar to
their own. Although Southern
Mississippi works the offense
somewhat differently, the re­sults
resemble those of the
famed Joel Eaves Shuffle.
Jackie Laird, a 6-2 guard, is
the leading scorer for South­ern
Mississippi so far in their
infant season. He scored 18
points when his team lost their
first game to Loyola of New
Orleans 72-69. Gary Hannan,
a 6-4 forward who shoots left-handed,
is second, in scoring
with 16 against Loyola.
In the rebounding depart­ment,
the ace is 6-6 sophomore
center Merv Sharp, who pulls
his share off the boards. He

senior guard on the
Auburn quintet, averaged al­most

another successful campaign.
has help from another lefthand-ed
forward, 6-3 junior Bruce
Miller. Charles Payne, who
scored 15 points against Loyola,
is the other guard and chief
initiator of the deadly Missis­sippi

30th Annual Orange Bowl Game
Climaxes Sparkling Tiger Season
Nebraska Furnishes Opposition
As Ail-Americans Meet Head-On
By GERALD RUTBEKG
Climaxing a t r u l y amazing season, the Auburn Ti­gers
face rugged Nebraska in the 30th annual Orange
Bowl Classic at Miami on New Year's Day.
For Coach "Shug" J o r d a n and his troops, the trip
must r a t e as a r e w a r d for a pleasantly surprising season
which produced nine victories.
including a 10-8 win over
cocky Alabama. In Nebraska,
Auburn's first opponent in
1964, the Plainsmen face their
most formidable foe of the
campaign, at least on paper.
Coach Bob Devaney's Corn-huskers
boast a mammouth
line, excellent backfield corps,
and ample depth, with over 60
names appearing on the Pre-
Orange Bowl roster. The Uni­versity
of Nebraska is an inte­grated
college, and it will
mark the first time in Auburn
gridiron history t h a t the
Plainsmen have participated
against a team including Ne­groes.
A L L - A M E R I C A N ""*
Led by 275 pound Ail-Amer­ican
Bob Brown, a first round
draft choice in both the Na­tional
and American football
leagues, the Big Eight cham­pions
make their second bowl
appearance in a row. Last year
the Nebraskans edged Miami,
36-34, in the now-defunct Go­tham
Bowl. Quarterback for
the 'Huskers is 6'3M>", 222
pound Dennis Claridge, a third
round draft choice of the
Green Bay Packers last year.
When senior Claridge was
forced to sit out four games
because of injuries, alternate
signal caller Fred Duda step­ped
in and performed the task
so well that he became the
'Scarlet' choice as "Player of
the Year."
Losers only to the Air Force
Academy, C o a c h Devaney's
crew annexed the Big Eight
crown by blasting Oklahoma
in the final game of the sea­son.
The score of that contest
was 29-20, but the Cornhusk-ers
led 29-7 with less than two
minutes to play. Earlier in the
season, the nation's top offen­sive
team as measured in rush­ing
yardage, dumped Minne­sota
14-7..
Another top pro prospect is
halfback Dave Theisen, a 202
pound bulldozer who has been
responsible for key yardage in
the Scarlets' touchdown drives
throughout t h e season. His
running mate at the other
halfback post is a speed mer­chant
who steps off the 100-
yard dash in 9.6 seconds and
is the Big Eight dash cham­pion.
'
However, Auburn has faced
the best of the SEC over this
extended season, a n d it is
reported that the Tigers, who
began preparation for t he
game yesterday, would like
nothing better than to begin
the New Year with a victory.
Everybody's A 11-American
Jimmy Sidle, and his equally
talented henchmen have been
established as 2% point favor­ites
despite the obvious weight
and depth disadvantage. Odds-makers
apparently took into
consideration the fact that
Auburn's forward wall was
outweighed in every 1963 game
except the encounter with
Mississippi State. Speed and
agility are expected to be the
Plainsmen's forte against the
huge 'Husker front line which
averages better t h a n 235
pounds from end to end.
Defensvely it is expected
that the Nebraskans will be­come
eminently acquainted
with headhunters Bill Cody,
Larry Rawson, Billy Edge,
Tucker Frederickson, Bill Van
Dyke, and others during the
course of the afternoon under
the brilliant Florida sun.
With Mailon Kent available
to spell the elusive Sidle, Au­burn
should again present a
double-barrelled threat to the
Nebraskans with the Atlanta
Journal's Lineman of the Year,
Howard Simpson, and speedy
George Rose capable of snag­ging
any aerials should the
Tigers decide to take to the air
lanes.
The game should find Au­burn
in its best physical con­dition
of the year with side­lined
standouts such as John
McAfee, David Rawson, Joe
Miracle, Gerald Gross, and
Steve Osburne ready to see
action.
PRESTIGE
Prestige will also be on the
line when these two national
powers collide, for Auburn
represents the Southeastern
Conference -and its famed
brand of football while t he
Cornhuskers present the cre­dentials
of the midwest's Big
Eight Persistent rumors ori­ginating
in Miami have claim­ed
that should Nebraska be
defeated then the Orange
Bowl Commission would ser­iously
consider severing its
contract with the Big Eight
which automatically gives the
Big Eight champion the host
spot in the New Year's Day
pageant. At one time, the Big
Eight champs and the Atlantic
Coast Conference titlist were
the opponents in the game un­der
an agreement reached
with the Commission.
Still another interesting fa­cet
of the contest is the dis­tinct
possibility that the win­ner
of the game will receive
a big ranking in the pre-sea-son
polls for 1964.
BILLY EDGE, superlative
Auburn defensive star, will
be vested with the responsi­bility
of covering Nebraska
aerials from his sideback po­sition.

Matmen Outclass
Trio Of Opponents
In Wrestling Tilts
By GEORGE STALLARD
Participating in an exhibi­tion
quadrangle w r e s t l i ng
meet at Florida State Univer­sity
in Tallahassee, Fla., Dec.
7, Auburn completely outclass­ed
its three opponents—FSU,
Tampa University, and Jack­sonville
(Fla.) Y.M.C.A. — to
cop unofficial first place hon­ors.
No score was kept in the
meet, which was held primar­ily
to allow the individual per­formers
to obtain experience
for the forthcoming wrestling
schedule. Now kindly observe
h o w our "inexperienced"
wrestlers fared in the meet.
In the 123 pound division,
SEIWA champion Bob Factora
decisioned Pencava of FSU,
pinned Kennedy from Jack-,
sonville in one minute 59 sec-'
onds, and pinned George from'
Tampa, to give him a clean
sweep of the three possibte"
rounds.
Next, in the 130 pound class,
Auburn's Stanford decisioned.
Pifanco from Tampa, defeated1-
Rafke of FSU, but -lost to Sal
Zarcone. However, Auburn
still won the three rounds, be-c
a u s e Zarcone is SEIWA
champ from Auburn. Jax Y.M.
C.A. failed to place a man in
this weight division.
James Wellingham, wrest­ling
in the 137 pound group,
drew a bye in the first round.
Grappling to a draw in the
second with Lowe from Tam-paj
Wellingham rallied to de-
'feat Baum of FSU.
Competing in the 137 pound
group, Henry Starnes deci­sioned
Ryan of Jacksonville,
defeated Hill of FSU and Sails
from Tampa, both by fall:
In the 157 pound class, Larry
Rhodes bested Conte from
Tampa in the first round, lost
to Masonholder of Jax Y.M.­C.
A. 9-8 in the second round,
and defeated Knudson of FSU
in the third round.
Carmine Cheminto, vying in
the 167 pound class, won over
Munroe of FSU, Sisca from
Tampa, and Clark of Jax Y,
again completing t h e sweep
for Auburn.
Newell Miller, 191 pound
menace, defeated Karson from
Tampa, sat out a bye in the
second round, and finished by
battling to a draw with Rooks
of FSU.
Winning in t h e 177 pound
group was Auburn's Mark Hy.,

Soccer Tilt Ends
In 2-2 Deadlock
With Maxwell AF
The Auburn Soccer Club had
to overcome a two-goal defi­cit
in the final quarter to tie
the Squadron Officers School
from Maxwells' Air University
2-2 at Auburn last Saturday.
Trying to avenge a 3-1 loss
to Auburn two weeks before,
S.O.S. used their height and
weight superiority to advant­age,
and played an aggressive
game which kept the Auburn
club off balance for most of the
time. The Airmen scored a goal
in each of the first two quarters
to lead 2-0 at the intermission,
as the Auburn offense had been
unable to function close to
their opponent's goal.
By GEORGE GARDNER
The Auburn Tigers, who were supposed to finish
seventh in the tough Southeastern Conference in 1963,
surprised the nation's football experts by finishing sec­ond
in the SEC and fifth in the nation.
The Plainsmen, long known for their giant linemen,
surprised even their own fans
by winning nine games and
losing only one contest while
fielding the lightest and per­haps
fastest interior line in
the history of the "Jordan era."
The "man behind the scene"
in this pleasant situation is
Jine coach George Atkins, who
played his collegiate football
on the Plains and is regarded
as the best guard in Auburn's
colorful gridiron history.
With the. faithful aid of his
assistants, Atkins produced the
lightest,- fastest, hardest-hitt­ing
line in the SEC f r o m a
handful of returning letter-men
and a host of green so­phomores.
After losing four lettermen
from the 1962 tackle slot, this
important position was consid­ered
to be the most critical
problem on the whole team.
Little did George Atkins know
that big surprises were about
to come his way in the form
of sophomores John McAfee
and Jack Thornton. McAfee
began the season on the second
unit behind Thornton. How­ever,
due to injuries in the
tackle corps, he was moved to
right tackle. Bobby Walton,
another sophomore who suf­fered
injuries during the sum­mer,
was not able to perform
for the entire game against
Houston. He w?s replaced in
the lineup by Chuck Hurston,
a junior and the only letter-man
returning at tackle.
John McAfee, standing 6'0"
a n d weighing 200, started
eight games at tackle for the
Tigers until he was injured in
the Georgia game. He is ex­pected
to be ready to go again
by Jan. 1, when the fifth-ranked
Tigers meet sixth-ranked
N e b r a s k a in the
Orange Bowl. According to
Coach Atkins, Thornton a n d
Walton are the fastest tackles
on the squad.
"All of these men have the
background to p l a y fast,
heads-up football," added At­kins,
"since only three of our
interior linemen played tackle
or guard in high school." Oth­er
men who played a part in
the "miracle story" of the
tough Tiger line are Alan Boh-lert,
Larry Haynie, and Bruce
Yates. Haynie and Yates were
the regular third unit tackles
for most of the season.
When questioned, Coach At­kins
refused to be pinned down
when asked to name any one
man as the "most improved"
at this particular position.
"However," said Atkins, "the
most, credit must be given to
the young sophomores." .He
did label Chuck Hurston asjhe
best downfield blocker. "And
best of all," he quickly added,
"they will all be back next
year."
At the 'guard position the
story was somewhat different.
The Tiger offense for 1963 was
designed to Utilize the rbll-'out
runing- and passing ability of
Jimmy Sidle. Thus, the pulling
guards were charged with pro­tecting
quarterback Sidle. Bill
Van Dyke, a senior with All-
SEC credentials, teamed up
with junior letterman Don
Heller to provide the nucleus
of experience in the Plains­man
forewall. However, as the
season progressed, Heller was
injured and Steve Osburne
moved from the second unit
to take Heller's place. A sen­ior
non - letterman, Osburne
turned out to be one of 'the
most pleasant surprises on the
entire squad.
"Van Dyke played consis­tently
good football—we sure
will miss him," said Atkins.
The biggest surprise at t h e
guard slot was Wayne Burns,
another sophomore. He played
third unit most of the year,
but performed very well on

We agreed, of course, to give cartons of Marlboro to all our
friends and also to as many total strangers as possible. Today
let us look into some other welcome gifts.
Do you know someone who is interested in American history?
If so, he will surely appreciate a statuette of Millard Fillmore
with a clock in the stomach. (Mr. Fillmore, incidentally, was
the only American president with a clock in the stomach.
James K. Polk had a stem-winder in his head, and William
Henry Harrison chimed the quarter-hour, but only Mr. Fillmore,
of all our chief executives, had a clock in the stomach. Franklin
Pierce had a sweep second hand and Zachary Taylor had
seventeen jewels, but, I repeat, Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Fillmore
alone had a clock in the stomach. Some say that Mr. Fillmore
was also the first president with power steering, but most
historians assign this distinction to Chester A. Arthur. How­ever,
it has been established beyond doubt that Mr. Fillmore
was the first president with a thermostat. Small wonder they
called him Old Hickory!) •
But I digress. To get back to welcome and unusual Christmas
gifts, here's one that's sure to please—a gift certificate from the
American Chiropractic Society. Accompanying each certificate
is this winsome little poem:
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,
Joyous sacroiliac!
May your spine forever shine,
Blessings on your aching back.
May your lumbar ne'er grow number,
May your backbone ne'er dislodge,
May your caudal never dawdle,

Cagers Face Rugged Holiday Slate
Topped By Sugar Bowl Appearance
By GEORGE STALLARD
A tough Christmas basket­ball
schedule faces the Auburn
Cagers beginning in Texas
Dec. 19, and ending with the
spotlight on the Sugar Bowl
Tourney in New Orleans Dec.
30-31.
Auburn travels to Lubbock,
Texas to face the Red Raiders
of Texas Tech Dec. 19. Texas
Tech, rebuilding last year, has
four starters returning to man
this year's squad. Texas Tech,
long known for their tough
defensive unit, has been work­ing
on more of an offensive
punch.
Challenging Auburn the fol­lowing
day in Dallas are the
SMU Mustangs. SMU has three
starters returning and will be
trying to improve on last
year's 12-12 record. Lack of
speed may again handicap the
Mustangs in their bid to re­gain
the lofty stature they
once enjoyed in the SWC.
Returning home to play
their last game before parti­cipating
in t h e Sugar Bowl
Tourney, the Auburn Tigers
entertain Athens at the Sports
Arena Dec. 27.
Perhaps the toughest test
preceeding the SEC schedule
will be the tournament in New
Orleans. Auburn's opponents
in the annual classic will be
Duke, Kentucky, and Loyola
of New Orleans.
Duke has 12 men returning
out of last year's 14 man squad
which posted a 27-3 mark and
made the NCAA's semi-finals.
Loyola has four returning reg­ulars
all of which averaged in
double figures.
Kentucky, sporting A 11 -
American candidate Cotton
Nash, who averaged over 20
points per game last year, has
the potential to give a lot of
teams plenty of trouble.
Preliminary games will be
played Dec. 30 and the consol­ation
and championship con­tests
will be performed Dec.
31.

Florida. Finishing second in the
Southeastern Conference meet
was perhaps the highlight of
their season, since they placed
ahead of Florida and co-favor­ite
Mississippi State.
Coach Mel Rosen, who was
recently appointed head track
coach upon the retirement of
Coach Wilbur Hutsell, had
much praise for his distance
men. "They came a long way
from the Calloway Meet,"
stated Rosen. The Auburn har­riers
finished fifth in their sea­son
openingf.meet, the Calloway
Invitational. -
Sophomore Linemen . . .
(Continued from page 7)
the first unit against Alabama.
Ernie Warren and Gary Price
performed very capably on the
second unit during the 9 win-
'1 loss 1963 Auburn season.
-Atkins describes' Osburne
and Burns as the fastest
guards on the team. "How­ever,"
he pointed out, "Os­burne
is easily the quickest—
that is, he can pop across the
line of scrimmage the quick­est."
Osburne and Van Dyke
provided the leadership that
was so necessary to help rap­idly
develop these young line­men,
according to Coach At­kins.
A junior letterman, Mike
. Alford, started the season as
1 the number one center for the
Tigers. However, after being
slowed by an injury, Joe Mir­acle
pushed Alford out of his
starting assignment by virtue
of h i s superior offensive
blocking ability.
At the center position, an­other
sophomore again played
a big part. "Jerry Popwell
came into his own against
Tech," said Atkins, "and from
then on he was second team."
Alford is described as being
the "leader type" and a con­sistent
ball player. All three
of these men will be back next
year, when t h e Tigers will
probably be picked to finish

near first in the nation.
"All of them paid the price
of winners," concluded Atkins,
"and the credit should go to
these boys. They were a close
knit team—no jealousy or
anything—and t h e y worked
hard all season."
Thus ends the story of the
"Cinderella" linemen of 1963:
the men that were short of
beef but long on heart and
desire!
