Trouble In Architecture: Part Four
Poll Indicates Majority
Of Students Unaffected
Seventy per cent of the students in the Department of Archi­tecture
say they haven't been affected by the current "con­troversy"
within the department, a Plainsman poll of 87 students
in the department indicates.
The poll was taken last week,
following* the circulation of two
petitions protesting the admini­stration's
policies. A cross sec­tion
was attempted by sampling
87 of the 450 students in the
Association Plans
No Investigation
By CHARLEY MAJORS
No investigation has been
undertaken by the American
Association of University Pro­fessors
of the procedure of the
architecture department here.
Following charges by two
architecture professors of
abridgement of academic free­dom
and the issuing of a state-men
by the local AAUP, it was
rumored that a complete AAUP
investigation would follow.
Bertram H. Davis, deputy
general secretary of the Na­tional
AAUP, said, "At this
point, we are not considering
an investigation; we have to
study our information."
Dr. Arthur E. Fourier, presi­dent
of the local AAUP chap­ter,
told the Plainsman that no
investigation has been con­tracted
by the local AAUP and
there will not be one. "This is
left up to the national AAUP,"
he said.
Two weeks ago the local
chapter adopted a statement
which protected the "kuestion-able
procedure in the Depart­ment
of Architecture."
Fourier said "the chapter was
attempting to be of help to
faculty members. He also said
that there has been no contact
between the local chapter and
the national office.
architecture department .which
also includes the curriculums
of interior design and industrial
design.
Of the 270 students in the
architecture curriculum, five
fifth year students, five fourth
year students, 3 third year, 17
second year, and 18 first-year
students were polled. There
are 61 interior design students
and the poll contains answers
from eight seniors, 12 juniors,
12 sophomores, and six fresh­men.
Only one of the 74 in­dustrial
design students re­turned
the questionnaire.
CONSENSUS
Typical of the comments of
the 70 per cent who said they
were not affected, was, "I have
what I believe architecture is
and should be to worry about,
instead of merely this disagree­ment
on how to teach it."
The consensus of the 24 per
cent who said they were af­fected
was that the controversy
"disturbs my ability to concen­trate
on school work, especially
design," and that it "hinders
communication between stu­dents
and faculty."
Six per cent did not answer
the question on the affect of
the "controversy" on studies.
The principal disturbance
concerns the planned change of
curriculum which will eliminate
basic design.
Contributing to the contro-very
is the school's failure to
renew the contract of Richard
Levine, an assistant professor,
because, according to depart­ment
head D. A. Polychrone, he
"is not competent to teach what
we want to teach."
Three professors will be leav-

DU Housemother
Found Dead
Monday Night
Mrs. Olive C. Gunnison, Delta
Upsilon housemother, was
found dead of an apparent heart
attack in her room Monday
night. The time of death was
approximated as Friday morn­ing.
Mrs. Gunnison was last seen
by members of the fraternity
Thursday night. She had been
ill for several days and was
supposed to leave for her
daughter's home in Pensacola,
Fla., early Friday morning.
Friday, members of the fra­ternity
found her room locked
and assumed that she had left
for Pensacola early that morn­ing
as was her custom. It was
not until a friend here called
the daughter in Pensacola Mon­day
night to inquire of Mrs.
Gunnison's > health, that any
suspicion was raised.
The daughter then became
alarmed and called the fra­ternity
house. A search of her
quarters was made and the
body was found.
"Mother Olive" had been a
housemother here since 1952,
serving as Tau Kappa Epsilon
housemother until 1958. In 1959
with the establishment of a
Delta Upsilon colony here, she
began serving in the position
which she held until her death.

body and faculty Monday night.
Brewer spoke on the Wallace
Educational Program and an­swered
questions concerning it
and the highly publicized Negro
demonstrations now being con­ducted
in Selma.
"We don't have enough in­formation
at this time to tell if
unreasonable force was used in
Selma," Brewer continued, "but.
if this was.the case, then it is
unfortunate."
To his knowledge, Brewer
continued, "There has been no
organized resistance on the part
of white citizens in Selma.
When asked if he thought fed­eral
troops might be sent to Sel­ma
if the demonstrations and
reported "unreasonable force"
persisted he replied, "Of course
no one knows, but I feel that
authorities will be' extremely
reluctant to call in federal
troops.'' <.;

Levine refused to comment
further on :the present situa­tion
when contacted by The
Plainsman.
Very few students planned
to leave the. department be­cause
of the change of the con­troversy.
Of the total group
contacted 11 p e r cent said they
were going .to transfer out of
the department or they would
were they not graduating soon.
Twelve per cent in the "af­fected"
number said they were
definitely not going to transfer.
One student said he was going
to transfer because of other
complicating factors.
ADMINISTRATION
When asked for an honest
opinion of the situation, 35 per
cent agreed with the adminis­tration
and said they felt the
handling of the situation should
be left to the administration.
One student said, "The school
is trying to meet the needs of
the changing profession, and if
successful, will be a leader in
schools of architecture."
"Twenty-five per cent felt that
the "dissenters" were in the
right, that they had been given
a raw "deal and the curriculum
change was wrong.
"Dr. Polychrone is steering
the department toward a more
technical nature at the expense
of design. Without basic design,
there is nothing to base deci­sions
on in later years."
DESIGN DEBATED
Fourteen per cent disagreed
with the dropping of basic de­sign,
but were either in favor
of the curriculum plan as a
whole or thought the adminis­tration
knew best.
"The Dean made a decision.
He is our dean; we must stick
by him in all his decisions,"
one student said.
Another 14 per cent felt that
too much has already been said.
"Too much has been made of
an unfortunate situation," sum­med
up the students who felt
that way.
Seven per cent were unde­cided
or felt unqualified to
give an opinion. Five per cent
were worried mainly about the
quality of the teachers follow­ing
such a large turnover in
the faculty.
"The thing that troubles me
is that the department is losing
and has lost good teachers, and
they are not being repjacedjjy.
teachers 'who really know and
understand architecture," was
one opinion.

New Bids
For Nuclear Lab
Exceed Budget
Bids on' a proposed nuclear
science center here were taken
under advisement last week
when all proposals exceed the
budget.
Officials, however, were op­timistic
that the project can be
undertaken—either by tempo­rarily
eliminating some con­struction
items or through an
additional federal grant.
LOW BID
An Auburn firm, Burns,
Kirkley and Williams Con­struction
Co., submitted a low
bid of $727,518 on the building.
Second was Jones and Hardy of
Montevallo at $731,365, and
next was Conner Brothers Con­struction
Co. of Auburn with a
$736,150 bid.
Four bids were received,
ranging up to $773,000.
EXCESSIVE BD3S
Two years ago, bids on a
proposed nuclear science cen­ter
with a reactor were con­sidered
so excessive that origi­nal
plans were abandoned. All
bids exceeded one million dol­lars.
The plans now proposed
with a reactor eliminated, are
the work of Davis, Speake and
Thrasher, Birmingham archi­tects
and engineers.
Bids on fixed laboratory
equipment received at the same
letting were said to be about as
expected.

SCS, which employs approxi­mately

"The reason we do not have
more is that there's only a small
percentage of landowners in
Alabama who are Negroes,"
Medlock explained. "Generally,
the man who owns the land is
the one who determines land
use." For that reason, it has
been more feasible to have
white employees working with

People Of Good Will Must Speak Now
How long will the people of Alabama
condone the kind of so-called law en­forcement
seen in Selma this week?
How long will it be before the Jim
Clarks of the South wake up? How
long will it be before they see they are
playing right into the hands of the
very people they are trying to stop so
brutally.
We have no quarrel with Gov. George
Wallace's order banning the proposed
march to Montgomery of several hun­dred
Negro demonstrators. It is now
up to the courts to decide the Tightness
or wrongness of the order.
But was it necessary to crack skulls
in Selma? Was it necessary for mounted
troopers to ride roughshod into the
crowd? Was tear gas necessary? Why
weren't the Negroes simply herded into
buses and driven off to jail? This action
has worked elsewhere.
Selma was the world's lead story this
week, and the name of a whole state
and a whole region was dragged
through the muck because of the irre­sponsible
actions of a handful.
It is too easy to blame the Selma viol­ence
on "publicity-seeking outside agi­tators."
N
These so called outside agitators
are seeking publicity. They are trying
Meeting The Challenge To Fraternities
It is good to note that fraternity
leadership on the Auburn campus is
meeting the ever-increasing challenge
to fraternities with constructive ac­tion.
The Fraternity Forum, a reformed
and revised Greek Week, is a step in
the right direction, and if well attended
and well handled, should prove to be of
great value to the university.
Fraternities are being attacked on all
sides today as useless anachronisms in
the university community. Some uni­versities
have done away with fraterni­ties
completely because they had noth­ing
constructive to offer.
If the fraternity system is to justify
itself, it must rid itself of its faults and
somehow solve the many problems
which face it in our more complex
society. The problem falls squarely on
the shoulders of fraternity leadership.
We commend the Interfraternity
council for making one forward step.
There Are Enough Textbook Controls Now
A textbook "watchdog" committee
such as the one now being considered
by the State Legislature is dangerous
and should not be adopted.
The proposed committee would be
composed of three Senators named by
the Lieutenant Governor and six House
members chosen by the Speaker of the
House. It would serve as a legislative
"court of appeals" to override any "ob­jectionable"
textbook selections of the
State Textbook Committee, under the
free textbook plan.
The legislators who propose this com­mittee
probably mean well, but with all
the fancy language removed, the pro­posal
spells one word: "censorship."
The state Textbook Committee, which
is composed of trained educators from
throughout the state, should be the final
authority on textbooks. The members
of the textbook committee are com­paratively
free of the political pressure
which can be applied to politicians by
self-serving pressure groups.
History has shown that we'll meaning
politicians under pressure can rational­ize
away their own souls. Texas knows
this, as does California and other states.
We should not take such a chance
with the minds of our school children.
There are enough controls now.
Some People Weren't Laughing
We got just as much of a laugh as
anyone from the story on page 9, of the
troubles of the Phi Delta Theta house
party.
Some were not laughing, however.
The bus company, for one, wasn't
laughing. It no doubt took extra trou­ble
and money to provide busses and
drivers so quickly.
Sorrento's certainly wasn't laughing.
They had 55 stale pizzas on their hands.
And, of course, Phi Delta Theta
wasn't laughing.
No doubt everyone will have a good
laugh a few years from now, and the
whole escapade will be chalked up to
the old adage, "Boys will be boys."
We could laugh a little louder if
these "boys" weren't supposed to be
men by now. Mature men know the dif­ference
between a good joke and a
malicious one.
Phi Delta Theta president Jim Green
called the whole situation "a pretty
low-life thing for someone to do." We
agree. A j.-^-
Editor's Views
How Do Reporters Feel
Covering A Race Story?
By Don Phillips
How does a newspaper reporter feel in a
tense racial situation?
Memories return of a small north Georgia town, a muggy
summer night and a young summer reporter from Atlanta cover­ing
his first race story.
I was the only reporter in town that night. There had been
minor rioting the week before, white.
to force trouble in front of a camera.
They are willing to stand in the streets
and die for publicity.
The methods now being used by the
demonstrators in Selma will not bring
true equality with lasting peace. A
bitterness will be left in both communi­ties
which may not die for many years.
But as long as there are Jim Clarks,
there will be a defense, and a reason
for their methods.
These people are not just a bunch of
previously satisfied Negroes stirred up
by outside agitators, as some have
charged. They know what they are
fighting for. We, as Southern white
people, know too. For years we have
joked about the very conditions which
are now at the base of the trouble.
Southern people of good will, of both
races, want to sit down and work out
some agreeable, lasting solution to the
race problem. In countless cities across
the South this is being done.
But people of good will will have no
chance until they assert themselves and
do away with the minority rabble which
is causing the trouble.
We must assert ourselves, for it is
we who, 30 years from now, will have
to answer the embarrssing question of
our children, "What was it all about?"
a few people had been hurt, but
the situation seemed to be in.
hand and cooling off.
My city editor told me to
slip into town in old clothes' and
join the crowd if there was
one. I was to watch for trouble
and call for help if anything
started.
The dimly lit town square
as I arrived did nothing to make
me comfortable. Hundreds of
white people were milling
around the square and down
side streets. An air of nervous
anticipation permeated the at­mosphere.
I walked across the square,
past the panting police dogs and
the temporary police head­quarters,
toward the side street
which seemed to contain the
most people.
Off this side street was a
dark narrow street which went
down to the Negro section. Far
down at the end of the street,
under a single street lamp, was
a sea of black faces. In between
were about fifteen highway pa­trolmen
and local police, and
lots of empty, inviting space.
"What's going on?," I asked a
halfway friendly looking man,
talking in my broadest Ala­bama
drawl.
"We're gonna have a race
riot," the man said excitedly.
"We're gonna git a couple of
niggers."
Suddenly the crowd's atten­tion
turned to the side street.
A small delegation of Negroes
came walking up with a camera
and snapped a picture of the
policeman who stopped them.
He grabbed for the camera and
gave chase.
Shots rang out and both
crowds surged forward. The
police stood their ground, and
they may be credited with sav­ing
the blood of both black and
There was more trouble that
night. But the police had come
prepared and no blood was
spilled, although there were
moments when it seemed in­evitable.
I spent a few anxious mo­ments
myself, especially since
the phone booth I had to use
was practically in the middle of
the crowd.
The crowd was drunk, and
some were showing off brass
knucks, knives and even guns.
I smiled as though I was talk­ing
to my girl friend. I didn't
know what they would do to
me if they discovered who I
was, but I wasn't about to find
out.
A reporter's feelings in such
a case are secondary, for he has
a job to do. He must report the
facts . . . on deadline.
Too, he observes things he
can't report, and he wonders.
He wonders at the low in-teUigence
of the crowd around
him, and he wonders where the
"upper class" citizens have dis­appeared.
He wonders until
they come riding by like sight
seers, with locked doors, giving
their smUe of approval.
He wonders at the young
woman in the old soiled dress
whose children are playing at
her feet, and at the big drunk
who wants to pick a fight with
just anyone.
He wonders when the local
newspaper is delivered and
there is no news at all of the
last week's trouble.
As the chimes of the court­house
clock blend with the
strains of "We Shall Overcome,"
and "Two, four, six, eight, we
don't wanna integrate," he
wonders if these people know
why they are out here.
He can only wonder. He
somehow has no real answers.

History Lessons Valuable
To Rebuilding Ot South
By Harry Hooper
The cold wet woods around Petersburg,
Va. look much today as they did on a cold
Miuca uay iuo years ago. The old cannister scarred oaks could
have some sad and wonderful tales to teU us. The oaks heard
the shouting and the explosions and the cries that are now mere
echoes in worn history books.
Lee's Army of Northern Vir­ginia
had been in the woods
around Petersburg almost eight
months following the defeats
at Gettysburg, the Wilderness,
and Richmond. In February
Lee had said of his men, "The
choice between war and abject
submission is before them. To
such a proposal brave men
with arms in their hands can
have only one answer."
The choice was made and
under Virginia's cold grey oaks
in the silent mist the Southern­ers
fought and died. They knew
once more the glory of fire and
steel and of palpitating hearts
that hoped to stave off disaster
at this place called Petersburg.
But Petersburg was not to be
the place. In a war of attrition
the Southern lines grew thin­ner
and thinner until the army
was hopelessly small. Lee wrote
the Confederate Congress and
.asked that Negroes be employed
as soldiers in a last ditch effort.
Lee added to his letter, "I think
those who are employed should
be freed. It would be neither
just, nor wise . . . to require
them to serve as slaves."
The plan to use Negroes was
not implemented and at the
same time Lee felt his ranks
being thinned by desertions. By
the end of this month 100 years
ago, Lee knew he must fall back
into the countryside and aband­on
Pettersburg.
Darkness was gathering in
the West and Lee moved his
army on April 2 toward Amelia
Courthouse along the banks of
the Potomac. One of the re­treating
soldiers said of his
compatriots, "(they were) in
excellent spirits . . . from the
long un-felt joy of an unfet­tered
march through the fields
of Spring."
Perhaps the feeling of joy
was because they knew that the
end had come. Surrounded by
Grant and Sheridan near the
little village of Appamattox
Courthouse the great Lee went
to Grant wishing to die but
realizing that, "It is our duty
to live."
The long march was over and
the last trumpet had been
blown. The time for the re­building
was at hand and the
men went back to their fields.
It was spring and it was time
to plow the idled soil.
The lessons o f history are
valuable only when heeded by
prudent men. The people of the
South today would do well to
learn from our forebearers of
100 years ago. Our strife must
be ended and the rebuilding
begun.
It is almost Spring and the
time is nigh for plowing idled
soil.

The day she enters college, she approaches womanhood. In
class she is called, "Miss Smith." In the "Co-ettiquette" book she
learns that the lady at Auburn is a "woman" not a girl. She is
told that total responsibility
for all her actions rests in her
and that she will be left com­pletely
on her own to develop
this responsibility.
Then, she looks around her
and sees the REAL Auburn.
The Auburn where a "woman"
must be in her room at a cer­tain
hour, may talk on the
phone at specified five minute
intervals, must buy and eat
food that is, in some cases, ill-prepared
and not appealing,
and in others, disliked simply
because there is a compulsory
meal ticket shoved down her
throat simultaneously.
UTILE MAN ONCAMPlS__ The Lett Bank : ~
Gov. Wallace
Rashly Blocks
Federal Funds
By George Gardner
Just exactly what Gov.
George Wallace hopes to gain
by delaying the arrival of the
20th century in Alabama is not
immediately evident.
But the firey former circuit
judge cer­tainly
took a'
positive step
i n t h at
(backward)
direction last
week.
By a r m -
twisting two -
state agen­cies
into re­fusing
to sign desegregation \
pledges, Wallace forced Ala-bamians
to face the prospect of
losing $135 million in desper­ately-
needed federal funds.
Thursday was the deadline
for compliance (via the pledge)
with the 1964 Civil Rights law.
The state school board, after a
two-hour closed-door session
with the governor, decided to
"await! the decision of the
courts" on the constitutionality
Of the pledge.
Meanwhile, Alabama schools
face the possible loss of $35
million in federal aid. '
Pensions and Security Direc­tor
Ruben King, at Wallace's
"request," also failed to sign
the voluntary compliance oath.
His department now stands
to lose $100 million in govern­ment
funds.
Now $35 million isn't much 2
money in terms of the current
$100 billion U.S. budget.
But in Alabama, where the ,
state outlay per student for
education is the lowest in the
nation, the $35 million could
build a lot of classrooms and
hire a lot of teachers.
Why this outrageous defiance
of a bill voted into law last
summer by the people's repre-
• sentatives in Washington?
The reasons, if they do exist,
,!,areilno.t exactly clear—even to-.
r some astute observers of cur- j
! rent events.
Sheer defiance of the U.S.
Constitution is a possibility.
Since his campaign days
when Wallace solicited votes
from the body of a flat-bed'[
truck (with a hill-billy band in
the background), defiance for'
the sake of defiance seems to
have been his trademark.
Political gain? That, too, is j
a possibility. I t ' s common
speculation the staunch segre­gationist
may have his sights
set on Congress when his gu­bernatorial
t e rm expires in
1966.
But this is all beside the
point.
The point is Alabama can
no longer afford to bury her
head in the sand like an ostrich
to escape the realities of pro­gress.
Our mint julep days are-over.
The 1964 Civil Rights law is
part of our Constitution. So is1-
the 1960 Civil Rights law.
But it is unreal to think that
President Johnson would ever
employ bayonetts , to enforce "
total integration in Alabama.
Such enforcement would be.,
impossible. The compliance .
pledge was designed as a
method to demonstrate > com-,
pliance with the spirit of the
law. It does not insure de facto,
integration.
About two dozen of Ala-1
bama's 117 local school boards:;:
have announced intentions to
sign the oath. A dozen more
have already signed.
No doubt there are other"
local boards with enough fore- jj
sight to sign the pledge. But'
they may fear Wallace reprisal.'
Thus, the communities in this
category are caught between ••
fear of Wallace reprisal and">
their federal funds being cut
off. .:
Wallace reprisal might be'"
the "lesser of the two evils."'
Federal funds are desperately
needed in Alabama. In many-areas
federal money comprises-up
to 20 per cent of the total
school board budget.
And more than half the $21
million received by the state
health department last year was •
federal hand-out.
Please, Gov. Wallace—let the'1
20th century arrive in Alabama.'
The young generation i s -
eager to get on with the task of
forging The New South from
the remnants of the old. j
We can no longer afford to -
sit back and sip mint julips! 2
accolade of the parable "Well
done, thou good and faithful
servant" and the student who
does slothful work will be
"weighed in the balances and
found wanting."
But rather than concentrate
on the negative aspects of this
quarter let's develop a positive
criteria with which to guide our
next quarter's work.
Character and work are so
intertwined that it becomes
difficult, if not immpossible to
separate the two. Therefore,
this positive criteria will con­sist
of time-proven, elementary,
but not trite, character guides.
.First, you must strengthen
yourself. You can do this by be­lieving
that, you are important
and then by acting on this be­lief.
Don't let it bother you if
someone looks down upon you
as insignificant and common.
Reassure yourself by doing the
best you can with your ability
under whatever circumstances
you must operate.
• Don't be discouraged by com­paring
yourself and your ac­complishments
u n f a v o rably
with people who by nature or
for other reasons start out with
an advantage. Do weU what you
can and take pride in it.
Develop a good mind, a
healthy body, a pleasing per­sonality,
a reputation for hones­ty
and respect for other people.
After strengthening yourself,
you should pursue certain ways.
You will have to stop worry­ing
about where you have been
and start working in the direc­tion
you want to go. And you
will have to do more than mere­ly
wish to get there.
Time and zeal used on plans
for actual realizations of wishes
are necessary.
Spend more time trying to
achieve the things you need
than obtaining the things you
want.
Rid yourself of hates,
grudges, spite and other things
which tend to make you un­happy
and unproductive. Keep
an open mind!
Drive out the frown with a
smile, the darkness with light
and the spirit of defeat with the
will to succeed.
Have faith in other people
arid build your relations on it.
'A valuable mutual encourage­ment
will be the result.
Do not hope for the "breaks,"
•but do something to develop
the opportunities.
Each of these admonitions is
a simple, common sense char­acter
guide that if adopted can
lead you toward a successful
quarter because as a by-product,
you will have become a con­scientious
worker.
And, as an ancient Greek
historian put it, "Pray to God
at the beginning of all thy
works, so that thou mayest
bring them aU to a good end­ing."
Letters Policy
The Auburn Plainsman wel­comes
all critical, complimen­tary
or informal letters to the
editor. No letters of more than
250 words will be printed. Let­ters
should be typewritten and
double spaced, and must reach
The Auburn Plainsman, P. O.
Box 832, Auburn, Ala., no later
than the Sunday preceding
publication.
Libelous and vulgar mater­ial
will not be printed. All
letters must be signed, but
publication of names will be
witheld on request. All names
will be certified.
The editors reserve the right
to print a representative cross
section when several letters are
received on the same subject.
If she breaks any of these
"little" regulations (or if her
guests do at any time) then
this same Auburn "woman" will
be locked in her room at 7:30
p.m. and be allowed to re-enter
society after having her hand
slapped for wearing slacks in
the lobby or her date's talking
too loud as he brought her in
the door.
No one denies the fact that
rules are required and wel­comed
to protect each individu­al's
rights, but, when they ap­proach
the "ridiculoucity" of
some existing at Auburn, some­thing
needs to be done.
A good, long, realistic look
needs to be taken. There's no
denying that the Apartment
Rule is number one on the list.
Number two is compulsory meal
-tickets. What is being done to
the Auburn "woman" is really a
crime.
Ground glass, crushed bone,
bloody bandaids, a roach in her
tea? What more could an Au­burn
woman ask for three times
a day?
With regular fare such as
this, why go to a movie? The
standing joke among women
students is "Shall we eat just
one meal in the DH today just
to see what will happen next?"
And then come all the nitty,
petty and downright insulting
indescressions one can commit
to incur disfavor and subse­quently,
a "restriction." This is
the time when the "Auburn
Woman" really feels mature.
Having come from what
might be termed a "strict but
loving" family environment, I
can see, perhaps more than
some, how this "strict" atmos­phere
created is believed to be
for the Auburn woman's good
and not her. deteriment. But
in effect, these restrictions upon
a woman's freedom weaken
rather than strengthen her.

In the furor and confusion of a Louisiana
gubernatorial campaign, a two-term chief
executive of that state bellowed: "My opponent is the only man
who can talk outta both sides of his mouth while smokiri' a
ngar, whistling' 'Dixie,' and talkin' a pay-off through the back
ioor."
Letters To The Editor
Teeming with ridicule, bom-aast,
and innuendo, this bit of
character assassination was not
intended to survive through the
ages as an exemplary piece of
speech criticism. Blinded by
personal ambition, the speaker
iemonstrated no regard for the
truth—the basic responsibility
3f any public speaker. He saw
the prize at the top and com­promised
the nuisance of ethics
is he hungrily clawed his way
;o the pinnacle of the pyramid,
rhat other guy was doing the
;ame thing wasn't he?
The audiences freely issued
icenses for such declarations,
kfter all, this was just "poli­ces."
The same listeners fre-luently
tolerated fraudulent
Mid grotesque commercial
:laims made by fast talking
lucksters. After all ,this was
ust "selling."
Lulled into complacency, the
luditors do not even have to
isten to a speaker before de­termining
that he is a "fellow
raveler," an "extremist," an
'atheist," a "shyster," a "racist,"
>r his ideas are "socialistically
nspired," diversions from the
'mainstream," contrary to "the
:hurch," crafty "misrepresenta-
;ions," sheer "bigotry."
Next, the inevitable occurs.
Petitions are circulated; invest-gating
committees are as­sembled;
symbols are burned;
seditious laws are passed;
Dseudo religious cults are born;
speakers are "muzzled," cen­sored,
booed, picketed, spat
lpon, and even shot. Naturally
;hese dignified undertakings
ire conducted in the name of
lemocracy and individual lib-
Srty. The people are being
sheltered from the evil forces
from "without," or "within," as
he case may be.
In this tempest of mass
iysteria the symptoms of many
>roblems exist. We are -bomi-mrded
with-oral'language and
nust realize that our clutie's Ms"3
isteners are - more than just
sensorious. Simply stated, my
hesis is this: Responsible, in-
;elligent, ethical public speak-ng
occurs when audiences (1)
earn the principles of judg-nent;
(2) give polite atten-ion
to the expression of ideas;
md (3) render evaluations
ifter applying those principles.
Smpty harangues replete with
vild generalizations, false
:laims, and destructive appeals
survive only in sbcities that
'ail to fulfill any one of these
hree obligations.
First, training in basic pub­ic
address theory must be
sxtended to every citizen. Even
f a person never speaks, he
:annot long avoid listening and
evaluating the spoken word.
Classical Greek and Roman
eachers and practitioners
spoke and wrote about the
'five canons of rhetoric": In­dention,
the discovery and
gathering of ideas and content,
disposition, the organization
ind assembly of the material;
5tyle, the use of language to
;ive clarity and expressiveness;
Delivery, the vocal and physi-
:al presentation; and Memory,
he mental storage of this in-lormation
for future recall' and
nstant adaptability.
A large body of literature on
his subject is available in *nich
>ooks as Speech Criticism by
l*ster Thonssen and A. C.
3aird. No speech critic worthy
>f the name should render
udgments without a firm grasp
)f critical standards. Every
jublic ^speech is a public com-nitment
that deserves intense
icrutiny. The lazy and unin-ormed
who choose to remain-gnorant
of critical precepts
orfeit their rights to offer any
valuation.
Second, every citizen should
nave an opportunity to hear
ill speakers who desire to ex­press
themselves on significant
contemporary issues. Acquies­cing
to totalitarians within our
>wn borders who curtail the
ree expression of ideas in the
lame of "democracy" and
'Americanism" is repugnant to
jur basic freedom of speech
;oncept. No single speaker
;ould possibly pose a formida-
3le threat to the high ideals
supported by an intelligent
ludience.
Censorship is not a reflection
on the individual who is "gag­ged"—
it is a reflection on the
cowardly, frightened society
jhat imposes it. Obviously, we
must hear speakers before we
can. judge them. A dignified
audience's polite, respectful at­tention
does not portend agree­ment;
but it does reveal intel­lectual.-
maturity and curiosity.
Our educational institutions
are purported to be established
for the discovery and dissemi­nation
of "truth," therefore
they are unfaithful to their
basic mission in refusing to re­ceive
a speaker simply be­cause
he may have, defended
unpopular ideas in- the- past.
This attitude is indefensible,
illogicalj and impossible to im­plement
fairly.
Several of our leading uni­versities
have extended invi­tations
to such controversial
speakers as Malcolm X, Ross
Barnett, Hubert Humphrey,
Billy James Hargis, Martin
Luther King, Jr., Dr. Frede­rick
Schwarz, Drew Pearson,
General Edwin Walker, and
many more. We await the first
scrap of evidence that either
audiences or "cultures" were
affected adversely by "such
presentations. But even if such
conditions are claimed, it casts
greater suspicions on the liste­ners
and the traditions so af­fected
than it does on the ag­gravating
discourses them­selves.
Thus, our educational-insti­tutions
must cease timidly
cowering to "outside pressures"
which handcuff two of its mul-t
i p le obligations: teaching
standards of critical- excellence
and opening its extracurricular
podia to the free presentation
of ideas. Of course the fulfill­ment
of this mission demands
leadership and courage—those
two little ingredients that make
a democracy work.
Third, a judicial evaluation
must be rendered. There is no
shortage of scathing critical re­marks
that pour forth devoid
of definitive standards and
often "originate with pseudo
critics who never hear the
presentation. The perusal of a
speaker, his speech, the audi­ence,
and the occasion should
not be executed until the first
two steps are realized.
A choice between two al­ternatives
must be made. If we
believe in the freedom of
speech, it is high time we begin
to study, practice, and evaluate
public address as the rational
human beings we are supposed
to be.
If we do not support the in­dependent
and open exchange
of ideas, we should cease giving
sanctimonious lip service to
that portion of our Constitu­tion
which guarantees the right
to speak and the right to listen.
Assuming that we choose the
first alternative, our education­al
institutions must take the
lead in teaching theory, making
speakers available, and en­couraging
intelligent criticism.

Why No Articles
On UMOC Contest?
Editor, The Plainsman:
When I picked up a copy of
Thfe Plainsman last week I
quickly scanned the front page
for ah- article on the successful
tfMOC compaign. I noticed the
picture and the four line cap­tion,
but after reading every
page realized that no further
coverage was intended. • This
seems to be a- most uncalled for
oversight.
I recall that when the AH
Campus Fund Drive was a
failure, there were several ar­ticles
filled with criticism a-gainst
the Auburn students.
Doesn't it seem that when there
is a similar drive which meets
with so much success that, there
should be an equal amount of
praise?
The men of Alpha Phi Omega
planned and publicized the
campaign, while the sponsoring
organizations of the various
candidates carried out the pro­ject
making it the most, success­ful
to date. Is there no com­mendation
for the-members of
Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Alpha
who collected over $1,000 for
Tucker Frederickson, or for
the other organizations that
boosted the total to $3,123? A
great deal of work has passed
unnoticed. Will you,, the editor,
allow this oversight to remain
unchecked?

Chewacla so near to the campus.
Most of our students thoroughly

The last time I went there
I was shocked to see that beau­tiful

fraternity letters on the rocks.
This irresponsibility of a few
students has partially ruined

It's High Time Officials
Heed Handwriting!
Editor, The Plainsman:
It seems to me that one of
the increasingly evident char­acteristics
of the Auburn cam­pus
is the definite lack of com­munication
between the stu­dents
and the administration.
Let me cite a few examples of
this: i
First of all, take the words
of a Chemistry professor that
appeared recently in the Plains*-
man while the correspondent
was trying to obtain informa­tion
for the article about the
Chemistry Department. The
student was bluntly told to go
away, because the teacher did
not have the time (more likely
the inclination) to help him.
This attitude is rapidly becom­ing
typical of the attitude
taken towards student request
and suggestions.
Another example is the .at­tempt
by the head of one of
the more specialized Schools of
the University to take over the
newsletter that is put out by
one of the professional frater­nities
of that field. This take­over
is very much against the
wishes of the members of the
fraternity, who rightly feel that
they made the newsletter into
something.
Then again there is the pe­rennial
problem of the dismis­sal
by the President's office of
all student originated sugges­tions
toward the changing of
t h e existing apartment rule.
There seems to be no discussion
or explanation of the dismissal,
just outright scrapping of the
suggestion.
There have been cases of bla­tant
and overly-harsh sanctions
against even constructive crit­icism
towards the administra­tion.
This problem of lack of com­munication,
is not localized to
our campus. It seems to be a
'nation-wide one as can be seen
by the recent riots at the Uni­versity
of California at Berke­ley.
One of the major grievan­ces
was the lack of communi­cation
between the students and
the administration. I am not an
advocate of the kind of action
that the students at California
took, perhaps the solution to
this problem would be to set up
some kind of Student Grievance
Committee which could air stu­dents'
a n d even administra­tions'
areas of friction and dif­ficulty.
Arbitration has worked
very well in the history of our
country. The Student Govern­ment
could set up such an or­ganization
or t h e y could
strengthen any existing one.
The handwriting is on the
wall, will t h e administration
heed it?

The Conference no doubt be­came
a forum where diverse
views and the place of expres­sion
on pertinent topics such
as this year's "Poverty and the
Population Explosion in De­veloping
Nations," to increase
and further stimulate under­standing
of various challenges
we all confront in today's

not only for thost
students and faculty advisers
who organized and convened
the Conference but also other
students and participants who
provided support and "actively
took part in the Conference—
both necessary for the success
of the undertakings. Moreover,
I highly appreciated warm

Students Recount Walk
With Selma Negroes
Editor, The Plainsman-
Last Saturday, in Selma, 70
white Alabama residents, in­cluding
two Auburn University
students, stood up against: tax­ation
without representation,
police brutality, and suppres­sion
through economic and so­cial
intimidation. We represent­ed
the dissention in the white
community.
We marched in groups of
four, at a distance of thirty feet
apart, for seven blocks from
t h e Reformed Presbyterian
Church to the Dallas County
Court House. The "good citi­zens
of Selma" called us "agi­tators,"
"Communists,"' a nd
"nigger loving . . . . " A white
photographer was knocked to
the pavement when he attempt­ed
to take a picture of the jeer­ing
crowd assaulting a marcher
who was passing out leaflets.
The photographer was hit with
such force that blood ran from
his scalp.
While filing away from the
court house; three marchers, in­cluding
Frank, were hit from
behind by a white spectator.
"Hey, Lou Ellen, come here," a
member of the sheriff's mount­ed
posse shouted to the attack­er.
As the man strutted back to
the posse, enroute striking an­other
marcher. The helmeted
officers laughed and clapped
him on the back in congratula­tions
for his "good deed."
It was ironic that while we
sung, "America the Beautiful,"
the "good people of Selma" cat
called and shouted "Commun­ists."
When we finished singing
a group of about three hundred
Negroes, on the other side of
the courthouse gave us much
needed moral support by sing­ing,
"We Shall Overcome." Af­ter
hearing these, brave people
sing, we knew that they would
overcome someday : . -

A Spring Sports Program Second To None . « .
For the spring, the Auburn Athletic Department is offering
a sports program second to none. Baseball, track, golf, tennis,
and football drills, combine to offer both the prospective player
and the avid fan a menu which will satisfy even the largest
athletic appetite. For example, on April 9, you have a choice
of watching Tiger golfers, netters, or diamondmen in action at
home. In May, Auburn will host the SEC Tennis Championships
and grid practice sessions will attract a large gathering as the
leather pops once again on Drake Field.
According to the poop sheets, Auburn's defending Eastern
Division baseball champions should be involved in a rebuilding
program because of graduation losses and two damaging pro-signings.
However, as a witness to Coach Paul Nix's machine-perfect
products for the past two years, we suspect that he does
not believe in "rebuilding" and, in fact, the Plainsman may
already be "built" for another title run. The diamondmen have
lost only one game at Plainsman Park in a two-year span.
Decisions by Jimmy Barfield and Duke Shackleford to sign
pro-baseball agreements prior to completion of their college
eligibility naturally does not gain favor in this corner as the
All-America third baseman and the fireballing hurler were key
figures in Auburn's 1965 baseball picture. But, the collegiate
season is strenuous and the player worth $100,000 dollars today
may not be able to peddle his wares for a dime tomorrow if
an injury should strike.
Serving as host to the SEC Tennis Championships should give
Auburn a much-needed morale boost in this sporting area.
Bleachers are to be situated on the banks of the courts and the
interest generated by this meet should promote better net days
in the future. You'll be hearing more about this event in next
quarter's Plainsman as the date of the meet draws closer and
details are aired.
Football Positions Up For Grabs . . 1
You can look forward to a rib-rocking month of spring foot­ball
drills as the search begin to find replacements for the
gaping holes which can be found in Auburn's offensive and
defensive backfields as a result of graduation. The forecast
is for some pitched battles for vacated berths and many new
faces will dot the lineup when Auburn takes the field against
Baylor in September. The Tigers however, appear to loaded
with talent up front and it is doubtful as to which if any
opponent will find it'expedient to run against Coach Jordan's
charges.
Steve Spurrier, junior Florida quarterback who is being
counted on by the Gators to give the Floridians their first SEC
grid championship, injured his knee in spring drills at Gaines­ville,
however doctors say he will be ready to go full speed this
fall and that spells trouble for Gator adversaries. Our pick
is for Alabama's Wayne Trimble to come into his own this
fall. We thought he was the best Tider on the field Thanksgiv­ing
Day and if Sports Illustrated will do him a favor by ignor­ing
him, he may have a fighting chance to break the injury jinx.
Auburn's All-SEC Basketball Stars . . .
For a group of basketball players who were picked no better
than seventh in the SEC cage crown race, the Auburn Tigers
have done quite well for themselves. Coaches Lynn and Davalos
toiled doggedly to mould the Plainsmen, and their efforts paid
off in dividends for the team and it's individual members.
With a 16-9 rcord and a tie for third in the SEC, came
deserved honor for Joe Newton, senior center, Freddie Guy,
ace rebounder, and Lee DeFore, returning jump shot artist.
Coach Lynn states that "we're going after the big boys,"
in this year's recruiting, and his dedication to the task makes it
a near-certainty that lanky cage standouts is what they'll get.
More Wrestling Honors . . .
In wrestling circles, Auburn wins so often that you might
think people would get complacent about the whole thing.
However, that would be a fatal mistake for each year there is
a new challenger and each campaign the Tigers must be at
their best to down new opposition continuously. In winning
their 19th straight crown, the Tigers had to outscore a squad
which had defeated them in the regular season, and several mat
teams which practice the year-round at halting the Tigers. Hats
off to coach Swede Umbach . . . and coaches Bill Lynn and
Rudy Davalos, for top-notch jobs in two sports.
Plainsmen Nine Begin
Division Title Defense
By BOB SNELLGROVE
Coach Paul Nix's baseballers plow into the first por­tion
of their schedule, meeting formidable Southeastern
Conference foes Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia with­in
the next two weeks.
"In terms of the Eastern Division of the (Southeast-e
r n ) Conference," explained
Coach Nix, "I feel that Ken­tucky
and Tennessee will de­finitely
be in the thick of
things."
TIGERS EYE REVENGE
With an eye for revenge, last
year's Eastern Division champs
take on the Kentucky squad
Friday and Saturday, March 19
and 20.
Last year Auburn met. Ken­tucky
in Lexington. There Ken­tucky
squeezed out two one-run
victories largely on the
strength of power hitting by
since graduated Cotten Nash.
AUBURN ADVANTAGE
"Playing here will be a defin­ite
advantage to us, an advant­age
which is hoped will enable
us to knock off both Kentucky
arid Tennessee," Coach Nix
points out.
"Tennessee athletics as a
whole have been improving In
the past few years and I am
sure that the Tennessee base­ball
team ;will be much improv­ed,"
Coach Nix stated, "but
here again we will be meeting
them at home before friendly
crowds."
The Plainsmen will match
strengths with the Volunteers,
Monday and Tuesday, March 22
and 23.
Following the Tennessee con­tests
the Tigers will take on
the University of Georgia Bull­dogs
Friday and Saturday,
March 26 and 27.
EXCITING TO FANS
Georgia also dealt a loss to
Auburn last year by the tune
of 6-5. The loss was an early
season one later avenged by
three victories over the Bull­dogs.

Tigers Crash Alabama;
Pest Surprising Record
By ROBERT SMITH
Larry Cart, in his last game wearing an Auburn uni­form,
paced the Tigers in a 53 point second half surge
to down the Alabama Crimson Tide 80-60 last Saturday
in Montgomery. It was the second defeat of the season
dealt to Alabama by the Plainsmen.
CART HOT
Cart, who was held scoreless
during the first period, notched
14 points before the final horn
sounded to finish third in game
scoring for Auburn.
Sophomore g u a r d Bobby
Buisson tallied 16 points to lead
the Tigers. Buisson was trailed
by junior forward Lee DeFore
with 15 markers.
Starting from a 30-27 half-time
deficit, Auburn rallied
during the first few seconds of
the second half to take a 31-30
lead which the Tigers never re­linquished.
SENIORS STAR
Two more seniors, playing
their last game for the Plains­men
squad, forward Freddie
Guy and center Joe Newton,
consistently cleared the boards
for the Auburn cause in the
second half surge. Newton com­pleted
the season with one of
the top field goal accuracy per­centages
in the nation.
TIE FOR THIRD ,
Auburn closed the season
with a 16-9 overall record and
an 11-5 record in the SEC, good
enough for a third place tie
with Florida behind Vanderbilt
and Tennessee.
The Crimson Tide finished
the season with a 17-9 record
overall and a 9-7 slate for fifth
place in the SEC.
Sports Spectacular .
SHERRA PATTON
Despite snow as recently as last Saturday and near-freez­ing
temperatures when this picture was made at high-noon
on Monday, striking Sherra Patton and the Plainsman take
the weatherman seriously in noting that spring is but 11 days
away according to the calendar.
Sherra is a 5'9" junior in secondary education from Syla-cauga.
She resides in Dorm C and is a member of Alpha
Omicron Pi Sorority.

Make All-SEC Squads
By GENE PHILLIPS
Post season all-star selections found Auburn Univer­sity
as well represented this season as they have been
in the past.
Three members of Coach Lynn's starting five have
secured places in the Associated Press and United Press
International All-Southeastern
Conference selections.
NEWTON TOPS TIGERS
Joe Newton topped the list of
Auburn men named. He was
selected first team All-SEC by
the AP service.
His teammate, Freddie Guy,
also found a berth in the AP
selections, being named to the
third team. Lee DeFore was the
other Plainsman to receive hon­ors
from the wire services. He
was named to the UPI All-SEC
third team.
THREE CENTERS
Strangely e n o u g h , three
Southeastern Conference cen­ters
found themselves on the
AP first team. In addition to
Newton, Bob Andrews of Ala­bama,
and Vanderbilt's fabul­ous
Clyde Lee were given the
nod by the AP poll.
Lee and A. W. Davis of Ten­nessee
were the only unani­mous
choices. Each of them re­ceived
35 of a possible 35 votes
for the honors. Joe Newton was
fourth in the balloting, with his
name on 26 of 35 ballots.
BEST IN 10 YEARS
Next season the Tigers will
have good reason to fear Van­derbilt,
again. Lee is only a
junior, and has already been
called the best conference play­er
in 10 years. He holds the
Vanderbilt single game scoring
record of 41 points, set against
Kentucky in Lexington.
The following players were
selected to the AP All-SEC
squad:

Florida Relays Inaugurate 1965
Tiger Outdoor Track Season
By CLYDE HOGG
The primary aim of the month of March for the thin
clads of Auburn is the annual Florida Relays in Gaines
ville. This early spring track and field affair signals the
beginning of the outdoor track season for the South.
Auburn will send a full team to the University of
Florida campus where the meet
is held, and "hopes run high,"
according to Coach Mel Rosen,
"for Auburn to do some win­ning."
The only Relays records held
by an Auburnite are those of
Richard Crane who won both
the shot and the discus in 1961.
However, according to coach
Rosen, "Auburn has an excel­lent
chance at winning and set­ting
records in the triple jump
and the distance medley relay
this year. Potential is there,"
states mentor Rosen, "and this
should be one of our best over­all
efforts. We, are aiming to
win an event, and set a record
if we possibly can."
OHIO STATE ENTERS
Ohio State Will be in attend­ance
at the meet for the first
time, along with most schools
from the Atlantic Coast Con­ference
and the SEC. "Tennes­see,"
Rosen contends, "will be
the strongest team there, fol­lowed
by FSU and Northeast
Louisiana."
After the Florida Relays, Au­burn
will run against FSU in
Auburn on April 2, Georgia in

If Mitchell Only Dreamed, Ho Telling What He'd Do - Track-Wise!
By LARRY LEE
MITCHELL BLASTS OFF TO RECORDS
Mitchell Doesn't Dream .'. .
It's too bad Tom Mitchell, the captain of Auburn's
track team, doesn't dream. There's no telling what
he might do then—track-wise that is.
"I never dreamed that I would even make the
team, much less do as well as I have," said Mitchell
who is also president of Spiked Shoe and secretary-treasurer
of the A Club.
Outscored 'World's Fastest Human'.'. .
And well he has done. He holds the Auburn record for
the triple jump, 46' 4Vfe", won the Southeastern Conference
outdoor broad jump in 1964 and the indoor jump this year.
He ras also been team high point scorer the past two seasons
and was high point man at last spring's Georgia AAU
meet—beating out "the world's fastest human," Bob Hayes,
for the trophy.
For all this he was recently honored as Western North
Carolina's outstanding college athlete.
"It was actually through a combination of the Navy
ROTC program and family ties that I came to Auburn,
not because of track," said Mitchell whose home is Brevard,
N. C.
Tom's father is an Auburn graduate and this had a
definite bearing on his decision to enroll here. This, plus
the fact that Auburn has the Navy program.
Tom Discovered In P.i. Class . . .
Track entered the picture when Mitchell landed in a
basic P. E. class instructed by track coach Mel Rosen.
"Coach Rosen encouraged me to come out for track,"
added Tommy. "And things just grew from that."
However, due to a back infection, his freshman year was
less than phenomenal. "So my sophomore year I just hoped
to letter," said Tom.
Letter he did—in a big way.
Tom credited much of his jumping success to Coaches
Wilbur Hutsell and Rosen. But he admitted that his parents
have been his "biggest fans" and encouragement.
Father Former Cake Race Winner . . .
Perhaps the fact that his father was a cake winner in
the annual "Cake Race" and also lettered in freshman track
offered Tom more than "moral" encouragement too.
Mitchell said that winning the SEC was one of his
biggest thrills but he believes his best performance was
against Georgia last year. In that dual meet he jumped for
a personal best'of 24' 1^" for first place and also won the
triple jump.
Speed Deficiency Minimized . .
What does Coach Rosen think of his No. 1 jumper?
"Tommy is one of the most consistent and hard-working
boys we've ever had out for track," commented Rosen.
"Though he doesn't have the speed of most jumpers, he has
worked hard on his jumping technique and improved his
speed somewhat," he added.
Too Much Help . . .
As an example of Tom's dedication to track and to the team
in particular Rosen recounted Mitchell's working with
Harvey Johnson, a jumper on last year's team.
"Tommy worked with Harvey, helping him with his
steps and technique on the triple jump, probably more than
either I or Coach Hutsell. And then Harvey won the SEC
while Tom was second."
After graduation in Industrial Engineering next Decem­ber,
Tom will enter Naval Flight School in Pensacola, Fla. A CHAMPION—STATUS LEAP FOR MITCHELL
What Is The Best Ail-Around Physical Developer? 'Gymnastics!': Bengtson
By GERALD RUTBERG
What takes "the soul of an artist, the strength of
an ox, and the courage of a lion?"
It's gymnastics, declares Coach Ed Bengtson of
SIMONSON DOES THE SPLITS
As part of his floor exercise routine, Bob Simonson
executes a split through the use of his gymnastic skills. Floor
exercise is one of the six events included in Olympic com­petition
to determine the world ameteur championship.
the year-old Auburn Gymnastic Club. "To me, gym­nastics
is the best total all-around developer that
there is," he contends.
With a young 11-member squad which includes three
freshmen, seven sophomores, and one junior, Coach Bengtson
has guided his team to one win in three matches. However,
competition is only a sideline for the squad at the present
time.
"Our sole purpose is to promote gymnastics, in this
school and in the state of Alabama," he says.
Because gymnastics is an artistic sport, it demands per­fection,
and in the short time which the organization has
existed it's members have proceeded well, according to the
former Michigan high school coach and Big Ten referee.
Referring to his current team he states, that, "they
work very, very hard. Not because I'm a slave-driver,
but because they are so interested in gymnastics. Their
progress in one year has been excellent."
Sopromore Jack Hartsfield rates as the club's best all-around
man, while Aubrey Bowles, Tom Reeves, and Norris
Cruthirds have scored well in meets. Steve Sheffield is
regarded as the top freshman at the present time with Ted
Ruffner and Bob Simmons labeled as possible future stand­outs.
The team works out six days a week for three hours per
session and anyone interested in joining is urged to do so.
"Just waik through the door," say Bengtson.
On April 16-17, members of the Auburn squad will par­ticipate
in the Senior Division or the United States Gymnas­tic
Federation meet to.be held at David Lipscomb College
in Nashville, Tenn. Teams from throughout the nation will
be present and the German and Mexican Olympic gym
squads will also be competing for honors.
Six events comprise a gymnastic contest including
demonstrations of skill on the parallel bars, pommelled
horse (or side horse), horizontal bar, or still rings, in addi­tion
to floor exercises and vaulting. There are also special
events adapted to certain countries or areas. Tumbling,
trampoline (or rebound tumbling), or rope climbing exibi-tions
are included on meet agendas in some are'as.
Now in his second year on the Auburn faculty, Coach
Bengtson came to the Loveliest Village from a teaching post
at a Michigan high school where his team won the state
championship in gymnastics during each of his final four
seasons. Ten of Bengtson's proteges are now attending
Big Ten schools on scholarships with seven currently at
Michigan State University.
"Balance, strength, flexibility, and courage," are the re­maining
attributes which a stellar gymnast must possess,
claims the former professional baseball player who has bet­ter
than 25 years of experience in the gymnastic field.
Rapidly expanding the program, Coach Bengtson id
laying ^the groundwork for a bright gym future Which may
find Auburn among the best-known gymnastic schools . . .
sooner than you think.

If your roommate
says the Bell System helped invent
hi-fi, stereo and talking movies.
don't bet. You'll lose/
In the course of tneir studies of the nature
of sound, Bell System scientists have been
able to make significant contributions to all
three forms of entertainment.
You might say that it was because the dis­coveries
were there to be discovered by the
first explorers to.come down the trail.
When the century was still young, we real­ized
that if the telephone were to come up
to its potential, the nature of sound had to
be much better understood than it was then.
This led to the largest, most comprehensive
study of sound ever undertaken by anyone.
To capture sound for study, Bell Telephone
Laboratories developed the first electronic re­corder
for phonograph discs. For the first
time, performers recorded into microphones.
Then, in 1925, Bell Labs perfected an elec­tronic
system that synchronized sound and
action on movie film. The talkies were born.
To get better sound reproduction, they
started experimenting in 1933 with ways to
separate high and low frequencies to prevent
distortion. The result was a single-groove,
multi-channel disc—the basis of today's stereo­phonic
industry.
Nevertheless, these contributions were by­products
of the real effort, which was to make
telephone service better. We are proud, of
course, that they helped build and improve
whole industries.
But we're prouder of the sound qualities in
the telephone of today.
If you'd like to do business or engineering
work you're really proud of, we'd like to talk
to you. .

23 free throws while Alabama
made good on 32 of their 40
charity tosses.
BIG DIFFERENCE
Auburn coach Larry Chap­man
attributed the difference
in the ball game to Auburn's
missed f r e e throws. While
noting that the Tide had hurt
the Tigers with a full court
press in an earlier loss to the
Crimsons by the score of 85-
79; Chapman felt that his fresh­men
"handled the press much
better this time and Alabama
had to get out of it."
High point man in the game
was Alabama's Guy Turner
with 29 points, who scored on
15 of 17 free throws. The Tide's
Mike Nordholz collected 19
points, including nine of 13 free
throw attempts.
Auburn scoring honors went
to center Randall Walker who
had 27 points, followed by Tom
Perry with 17 points, and Ha­rold
Carden with 13.
LEAD SEESAWS
The score was knotted at 28
apiece at the half and the lead
seesawed back and forth until
seven and a half minutes had
elapsed in the second half.
Then Nordholz and Turner
combined for all but six of the
Tide's next 32 points.
Auburn came within three
points after a driving layup
and a free throw by Bob Miller
with 6:08 remaining, but could
not come any closer as Miller,
Stan Worley, and Walker foul­ed
out and Alabama canned
most of their free throws.

Fraternity Playoffs Tonight;
All-Star Selections Slated
Making it just under the wire
of winter quarter finals, inter-mural
playoffs will be com­pleted
on Thursday night.
Waiting for the first issue of
the Plainsman next quarter,
will be the first all-star selec­tions

BAD LUCK
The freshmen were plagued
with hard luck throughout the
season with injuries to Bob
Miller (a broken foot), Charles
Osborne (a broken hand), Alex
Howell, and Stanley Worley.
Coach Chapman felt that the
young Tigers' record can par­tially
be explained as a matter
of readiness for each game. For
example, the Tigers defeated
Vanderbilt 77-59 in Auburn,
but bowed to the same team
79-67 in Nashville.

Freshman Track Squad Prepares

By RON MUSSIG
Auburn's freshman track squad, which serves as a
varsity proving-grounds, will culminate weeks of hard
work in the first outdoor meet of the season early next
quarter, when the whole'squad will be able to swing
into action.
FLORIDA STATE VISITS
The frosh cindermen have
only been able to participate in
the SEC Indoor Meet Feb. 13
so far this season. The first time
they will face competition on
the Auburn track will be April
2, when Florida State invades
the Plains.
Everytime the varsity runs,
the freshmen run too, making
it, in effect, a double dual meet.
The frosh only score points for
the first place finishers.
'WELL BALANCED SQUAD*
According to track coach Mel
Rosen, the freshmen sport a
"well-balanced squad." Coach
Rosen looks to the frosh squad
to give his boys, some exper­ience.
He also commented, "We
get them used to the Auburn
way of doing things, and we of­ten
switch them around so that
we can find what they are best
at before they reach the var­sity."

A Pretty Low-Life Thing To Do,
Say Frustrated Fraternity Men
By HARRY HOOPER
Associate Editor
"The best laid plans of mice and men often go
awry," turned out to be the post-mortem thenie of
the Phi Delta Theta house-party at Gatlihburg,
Tenn., Feb. 19.
The Phi's and dates arrived in front of the Phi
house here bright and early at 5 a.m. They eagerly
awaited their chartered buses. On into the morning
they awaited the buses.
Finally someone called the bus company. They
were informed that the bus reservations hail been
cancelled.
Pizzas Come
By 10:15 a.m. the situation had been corrected
and all but one of the buses had left.
That's when the pizzas came. A Sorj-ento tmck. j
pulled up and the amazed Phi's found themselves
confronted with 55 un-ordered pizzas. The people
from Sorrento's were upset.
Reservations Cancelled
That afternoon found the Phi's winding around
the hills of the Smokeys. Climax of the.traumatic
day came when they arrived at the Mountain View
Inn. Their hotel reservations had been cancelled.
Luckily the Mountain View Inn people straightened
things out.
Said Phi President Jim Green, "I thought It *as
a pretty low-life thing for someone to-do.*
Auburn Indian Students Prefer
Controversial Language Change
By JACK TOMPKINS
Several Indian students at
Auburn say they support a lan­guage
change in India which
has resulted in riots there caus­ing
the deaths of more than 60
persons.
In 1950 a continuation was
set up in India which called for
a 15-year transition period in
which the national language of
India would be changed from
English to Hindi. Most of south­ern
India, which speaks English
fluently, is opposed to the
change.
Four Indian students at Au­burn
from northern India say
they favor the change to Hindi.
One said that all conversation
between the Indians on campus
is carried on in that language.
"The Indian government is
trying to bring in Hindi, but the
most opposition is from t he
South because the Southern
people don't know how to speak
it," an Indian student in the
dairy science department here
said.
A student in Civil Engineer­ing
from southern India says,
"The people fromttie south feel
there will be a disadvantage in
getting jobs if Hindi becomes
the national language. All gov­ernment
jobs would require
that an applicant know how to
speak Hindi." He added that he
favored the change to Hindi
however.

Industrial Interviewers Asked
'What Does A Company Want?'
What does a company want
in a new employee fresh from
the sheltered academic world?
Do grades really count that
much? What sort of answers do
interviewers like to hear?
This week the Plainsman has
interviewed some interviewers
in an attempt to get the answer
to these questions for college
students who are nearing job-hunting
time.
All during the year, compan­ies
send representatives to the
Auburn campus to Interview
students for jobs. Many of these
representatives are looking for
people with executive ability,
we found, because most com­panies
h a v e management in
mind for their college grad­uates.
"We are looking for
someone who could become
president of the company some­day,"
said a representative of
the J. P. Stephens Co.
Representatives like , for a
student to know a little about
their company before he is in­terviewed.
It saves time if an
interviewer doesn't have to ex­plain
his company to the stu­dent,
and this shows that the
student is really interested in
the company.
Grades, appearance, activi­ties,
calmness, and enthusiasm
are important to companies'
representatives, but no one of
these things is more important
than another. They are all used
Is Drink Machine
Friend Or Enemy?
By CATHYE McDONALD
Although many people look forward with anticipation to
the day when machines will do everything, automation is not
for me after some of the experiences that I have had with
drink machines.
Nothing is more exasperating
than ajlrink machine that does
not work properly. Sometimes
a machine which uses cups will
be very generous and give you
both a cup and drink, but it
just happens to give them in
the wrong order.
You stand helplessly by while
all of your drink pours down
the drain. Then you watch the
cup slide down the chute and
land very neatly under the
spigot, just in time to catch the
last drop of drink.
The machine has successfully
pulled another coup, and
laughs silently as you stalk
away in anger.-
At other times the machine
may send the cup half way
down, then make it stick. You
get drink all over you as you
desperately try to free the cup
and save at least part of the
drink. With luck you may get
half a cup. The machine has
decided to be a little kinder,
since he has won anotherpJround.
fta-fce battle. * ^* | \ \
J f you are lucky ihoagh to
get the cup first, don't think
you have outsmarted the ma­chine.
There are still other
disasters that may befall you.
As you happily take a drink
from your full cup, you discover
that the cup is full of nothing
but carbonated water. The ma­chine
has done it again!
Then there are other times
when the machine will give you
a stack of cups, on right after
the other. Suddenly the drink
starts to flow, and it just keeps
coming . . . and coming . . .
When the machine becomes
too contrary, it may cause you
to take drastic action. If noth­ing
happens after you have de­posited
your dime as instructed,
you are tempted to beat on the
machine, or even kick it. For
some reason you think that this
might force the machine to play
fair and give you a drink, or at
least give your money back.
But if you think this penny-pinching
machine is going to
give back your money, you are
sadly mistaken. Unfortunately,
once it has your money, it in­tends
to keep it, and all your
beating has no effect on its
armor-plated-body.
Finally you realize that the
machine has i won another
round, and you stalk away in
anger, vowing never to use it
again. But you soon find that
it has you in its clutches. Un­less
you want to die of thirst,
you must submit to its whims.
You decide to give the ma­chine
one more chance. This
time, believe it or not, the ma-cmne^
noFonry works"perfectly,
piit, also gives you too much
change.
You decide this machine does
like you after all. You do not
feel bad about taking the ex­tra
money because, after all, the
machine has taken your money
