Broun Hall as an example
where both the second and
third floors have been cover­ed
by new asphalt tile at a cost
of $4,000.
Col. Funchess also mention­ed
t h a t the air-conditioning
systems in new buildings are
not designed to combat heavy
smoke and still provide a suf­ficient
quantity of fresh air.
Consequently, d e p a r t m e n t
heads in new facilities had al­ready
adopted a no-smoking
policy.
Smoking is prohibited in all undergraduate classes
throughout the A u b u r n campus, according to a memor­andum
issued to all deans, directors, and department
heads by Dr. Ralph B. Draughon, president. The policy,
supported by the Council of Deans and Administrative
Council, is effective immed­iately.
The restriction applies to all
auditoriums, classrooms, and
laboratories occupied by un­dergraduates.
The policy does
not apply to graduate students.
Faculty members will not be
allowed to smoke while teach­ing
undergraduate classes. The
Buildings and Grounds De­partment
recommended the
move due to the janitorial
problem caused by cigarette
butts crushed on classroom
floors.
According to Dr. Draughon's
statement, "there are several
obvious reasons for such a
policy—not the least of which
is upgrading the appearance
and standard of maintenance
of our classroom areas."
"It is hoped," the memoran­dum
continues, "that in corri­dors
and other areas where
smoking is permitted that the
practice of extinguishing ci­garettes
on floors will be dis­continued.
Sand buckets have
been provided in entrances and
corridors of a l l academic
buildings for this purpose."
Col. Linwood Funchess, di­rector
of B u i l d i n g s . a nd
Grounds, stated that the no-smoking
rule is "a major,
needed step" toward gradual
reconditioning of floors in
classroom buildings. He cited

in getting the Lecture and
Concert series to be cospon-sors.
Last but not least, the

ALABAMA PRESIDENT SPEAKS AT DEDICATIONS
$2000 Grant Donated
For Graduate Project
A grant of $2,000 has been
made to Auburn to support the
graduate research program in
agricultural engineering.
The grant, representing contri­butions
from 12 American and
one foreign tire and machinery
companies, resulted from re­commendation
of the Traction
and Transport Efficiency Com­mittee
of the American Society
of Agricultural Engineers. Made
up of engineers from the con­tributing
companies, the Com­mittee
recommended the grant
to finance a study on improved
ways to measure soil strength.
Need for such a project was
noted wht'n the committee ran
tests on relation of soil strength
to traction at the USDA Na­tional
Tillage Machinery Lab­oratory
at Auburn. Since their
measurements of soil strength
were unsatisfactory, they saw
the need for research on the
problem.

Art Department
Retains Rating
The Auburn department of
art, in the School of Archi­tecture
and the Arts, continues
full accreditation with the Na­tional
Association of Schools of
Art, according to an announce­ment
by President Ralph B.
Draughon.
The Auburn art department
underwent a two-day exami­nation
last March when an
evaluation was made of the
entire University. According
to Frank Applebee, depart­ment
head, recommendation
for accreditation and contin­ued
membership in t h e na­tional
organization was made
at that time, but official action
was not taken until the annual
meeting last week in Syracuse,
N.Y.
When the National Associa­tion
was named as the na­tional
accrediting authority for
all types of art education, re­organization
necessitated re-evaluation
of the membership,
now numbering 40 schools.
Auburn's art department was
the first in the South-to, un­dergo
the new accreditation
examination.
The story of a man and his
imagination-and the women
who are so wickedly a part of it!

SALUTE: OLIVER PORTER, JR.
"Will my first assignment really be a challenge?" is a
question that haunts many young engineers.
An affirmative answer to the question was waiting for
Oliver Porter, Jr. (B.S.C.E., 1959), when he reported to
Southern Bell's Greenville, S. C , .office July, 1962.
A week hadn't passed when Oliver became a f ulL-fledged
practicing member of the District Engineering group.
In addition to design duties, Oliver was immediately
put to work directly serving customers—handling requests
for service or facility rearrangements, advising architects,
and acquiring public and private right-of-way.
Oliver found his challenge quickly, and at the same
time impressed Southern Bell with his technical engineer­ing
proficiency and ability to represent the company.
Oliver Porter, like many young engineers, is impatient
to make things happen for his company and himself. There
are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed
or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business.

RHODESIAN STUDENT HUNTS
LEOPARDS IN HIS BACK YARD
By WALTER MASSEY
If your farm has ever been plagued by leopards, you
can sympathize with Joubert Steyn, a new member of
the Auburn student body. Since Joubert is from South­ern
Rhodesia, he finds leopards quite a problem, espe­cially
with cattle. Finding a better way to get rid of
leopards is not Joubert's pri
mary reason for coming to Au­burn,
however; he is enrolled
in Agricultural Management.
Naturally, one wonders why
someone from Africa would
come to Auburn to study agri­culture.
Actually, as Joubert
would explain the climate and
agricultural.products are quite
similar.
Joubert is a descendant of
Dutch settlers who originally
settled in South Africa. He
speaks English, Afrikaans (an
African dialect of Dutch), and
Minica, which is the language
of the native farm laborers of
the region. Since Southern
Rhodesia is a British proctec-torate,
Joubert's English is
very British in pronounciation.
Before coming to the United
States to study, Joubert at­tended
high school and two
years of agricultural college
in Southern Rhodesia. After he
earns his degree in Agricul­tural
Management here, Jou­bert
plans to return to South­ern
Rhodesia and help man­age
his father's 10,000 acre
farm. Joubert realizes, how­ever,
that any plans he makes
now are faced with grave un­certainties.
According to Joubert, South­ern
Rhodesia is teetering on
the edge of a great political
upheaval. Kenya, in British
East Africa has already gained
its independence under a black
or native rule. Like the white
African in Kenya, Joubert
knows that the future would
be very dim for him and his
people if Southern Rhodesia
should loose its minority rule.
In fact Southern Rhodesia was
a refuge for many of the white
Africans who fled from Kenya
after the British gave Kenya
its independence under Jomo
Kenyatta, the former leader of
the bloody Mau Mau uprising.
If Southern Rhodesia were to
be faced with the same situa­tion,
Joubert says that most of
the whites might be forced to
flee for their- lives;"* at best
they would be deprived of
their property.
To understand the situation,
one must know something of
the history of Joubert's people.
His great-grandfather first
settled on the farm in 1895. To
accomplish this, he h a d to
move his family and belong­ings
about a thousand miles
from South Africa to what is
now Southern Rhodesia. About
six thousand acres were given
to him by the government to
settle.
The land was cleared and
put under cultivation. Each
succeeding generation has in­herited
the farm and improved
it. Through the years the farm
was expanded until it has
reached its present size of 10,-
000 acres. During this time
other farms were settled, roads
were built, towns grew up and
s y s t e m s of communication
were established. What was
once a barren mountainous re­gion
has become fertile and
productive t h r o u g h sound
management and hard work.
Mechanization was not in­troduced
into the region until
after World War II. Today the
system of Agriculture has be­come
h i g h l y mechanized.
Those commodities requiring
extensive hand labor have
been given up because of an
undependable labor source.
The production of tobacco, for
example, had to be given up
because of frequent crop fail­ures
due to undependable la­bor.
The labor of generations is
now being weighed on the
political balance. Joubert is
planning for a future that can
only be realized if political
conditions in his country re­main
stable. If there is a mass
upheaval, perhaps there will
be no future for him at all in
his homeland.
While the threatening clouds
gather over Southern Rhode­sia,
her people continue to pro­duce
and work together. As
Joubert explains it, there is
now a system of "watered
down apartheid" which gov­erns
the contact among whites
and blacks. There are areas of
segregation, between which
exists a third area that allows
mixing for those who wish.
Superficially, the relationship
between the whites and blacks
of Southern Rhodesia is plea­sant,
but the situation is un­predictable.
In his spare time, Joubert
enjdys hunting. His greatest
triumphs so far have been at
leopard hunting. He has killed
two of the treacherous beasts.
Baboon hunting is also popu­lar
in his country. His family
has several large dogs for
hunting baboons and keeping
them from destroying the
crops.
Some of the things he enjoys
about the Auburn campus are
the spontaneous friendliness of
the students, the classroom in­formality
and coin-operated
food machines.

Candidates For Student Body Secretary
Student Secretary Hopefuls Give
Platforms For Upcoming Elections
By LINDA MYRICK
The office of Student Body
Secretary in the upcoming stu­dent
election promises to be
an interesting race. Candidates
Judy Byrd and Suzanne Mc­Lendon
both have definite ideas
about what constitutes an ef­ficient
secretary.
Judy feels that communica­tion
is one of the most impor­tant
jobs of the many duties of
secretary. The Student Body
constitution provides that "the
acts and decisions of Student
Senate shall be published in
the official student newspaper
in the next issue following
adoption." Judy intends not only
to work in accordance with The
PlainsmaH to uphold this duty,
but also hopes to work closely
with those individuals who or­ganize
"The Auburn Hour" in
an attempt to have even more
Student Body news broadcast
over, the air. Judy Byrd be­lieves
that she is well-quali­fied
for the job, as she has
participated in many campus
activities. In her sophomore
year she was vice-president of
her dormitory. She now serves
as president. She was a mem­ber
of Cwens, the national hon­orary
for outstanding sopho­more
women, and is now serv­ing
her third year on the Wo­men's
Student Government As­sociation.
In addition, she has
been secretary of the union
safety committee and a sorori­ty
officer. Judy came to Au­burn
on a Merit Scholarship
and has maintained over a 2.00
overall in addition to her many
activities.
Suzanne is concerned with
keeping and making available
to the executive cabinet and
the student senate a perma­nent
record of the constitution
and laws of the Student Body.
One of her main goals is to
devise a better method of
bookkeeping in the student
government office so that all
information needed by the exe­cutive
officers will be readily
available. Suzanne also feels

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING
The Physical Education De­partment

This program started in
1956 with 20 students, and last

The Autumn quarter .course is
basic mountaineering. It is fol­lowed
in the next quarter by
winter mountaineering, which
is designed to instruct students
in snow and ice climbing, snow
shoeing, ski touring, arctic sur­vival,
and all weather rock
climbing. Neither course re­quires
previous mountaineer­ing

Auburn Co-ed Is Miss Congeniality
In State Maid Of Cotton Contest
By JOAN EDMONSON
The Auburn Spirit of Con­geniality
came through again
in the Alabama Maid of Cotton
Contest, when Camilla Hamil­ton
was chosen Miss Congen­iality.
This makes a double
header for Auburn on congen­iality;
Jeanne Swanner also
brought recognition to Auburn's
friendliness when she was a-warried
the title of Miss Con­geniality
in the Miss America
Contest.
Camilla always carries that
War Eagle spirit wherever she
goes. For instance most girls
would be "shaking in their
boots" wailing in those long
judging lines, but not Camilla
—what is she doing but lead­ing
a "hush, hush" war eagle.
Camilla really has plenty of op­portunity
to promote the Au­burn
Spirit. This year she is
living in Dorm IX as a Junior
Counselor. Freshmen girls are
always greeted with an enthus­iastic
welcome when they visit
Camilla. Her magnetic person­ality
virtually draws people to
her.
She is a twenty-year-old
junior, majoring in home econ­omics.
Her home is York, Ala­bama,
where she lives with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H.
Hamiltos. Camilla is a member
of Alpha Omicron Pi sorority,

respect and admiration for them, has grown and grown, and I love each one
of them.

MISS AFFLERBACH'S GOLDEN JUBILEE: HURRAH!
* • • * • • * * * * • * * * * * * * • * * * * * * • • * * • * * * * • • • • * * * • • • • •
YOU have heard us mention Miss Revera Afflerbach who has been Forclady here at Eagle Shirts since 1918.
It is not often that one sees such allegiance, and we appreciate it. Also, she has been very nice to allow us
to bandy her name about in ads, books, etc. So we would like to proclaim something to honor her and also give
us another excuse to bandy her name: The Afflerbach Golden Jubilee Year. * Now, ordinarily this wouldn't
occur until 1968, but why wait until the last moment? Besides, we have already struck a medal (see above). The
cloth in the shirt upon which the medal is hanging is also named after her: Afflerbach Cloth. It is made in
Switzerland to her specifications, which are 20% wool and 80% cotton. Her reasoning is interesting. She wanted
enough wool to make it very soft, but enough cotton to make it light and washable. Any more wool than
that and it's not a shirt so much as a nice, if bulky, garment for woodchopping or other hearty activities.
* Additionally, it is mothproof; if for no other reason than that no moth would be willing to go to all that
work for such scant nourishment. Afflerbach Cloth is the moth equivalent of pomegranates. The Afflerbach Jubilee
Shirt comes, complete with medal as shown, in solid colors (flame red, midnight navy, loden green, winter white,
smoke blue) at about $13.00; and tartans, district checks and blazer stripes at about $14.00, wherever Eagle Shirts
are sold. If you're not sure where that is in your town, write Miss Afflerbach, Eagle Shirtmakers, Quakertown, Pa.
It might be nice if you said congratulations. © 1963 EAGLE SHIRTMAKERS, QUAKERTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA

United Nations Day
Thursday has been set aside in Amer­ica
as United Nations Day. It is a time
when we are asked to consider the
United Nations and its place in the
world society. Both President Kennedy
and Former President Eisenhower have
urged Americans to support the U. N
—not out of fear alone but out of un­derstanding.
Understanding seems to be the key
for any objective evaluation of tho
United Nations. Communication is th?
primary tool through which we facili­tate
understanding. It would seem that
the verbal epithets tossed across U. N.
conference tables are far superior to
the atomic volleys that might well be
tossed across continents when commun­ication
between nations ceases.
The United Nations is an imperfect
organization. This factor hardly seems
sufficient to detract from its impor­tance.
If there ever has been a perfect
political structure, there is a distinct
possibility that moon men are realities.
Its financial cost to the United States
citizen is approximately 54 cents per
year. The United States bears one-third
of the U. N.'s total cost (which is
far below our share of the world's pro­ductivity).
A great portion of this
amount remains at home in the pay­ment
for utilities and services to the
City of New York. It is a small cost to
bear for world understanding.
President Kennedy has summed up
well the value of the U. N. He says,
"In the development of the United Na­tions
lies the only true alternative to
war . . . never have the nations of the
world had so much to lose or so much
to gain." This statement is in accor­dance
with our thoughts for Thursday,
Oct. 24—United Nations Day.
No Smoking
A "no smoking" policv for under­graduate
classrooms, auditoriums, and
labs is now a reality at Auburn. The
ruling has been in the making for quite
some time. Reasons for the ruling are
simnle to understand. Sanitation, jani­torial
costs^ and campus beautification
are areas in which nroblems have aris­en
because of smoking.
Although we consider ourselves to be
among the most ardent admirers of the
magic weed and its phantom pleasures,
we must place our stamp of approval on
Buildings and Grounds' "no smoking"
policv. Students have not in any way
tried to save floors and desks from the
blemishes of cigarette butts.
It would be a simple matter to ra­tionalize
this problem. High-sounding
compromises can be found in abun­dance.
Such compromises would include
the provision of ashtrays for class­rooms.
The receptacles could be easily
obtained. Thev do, however, have a
strange way of being lost or borrowed.
In classrooms where ashtrays have pre­viously
been available, their use has
been a rarity.
There is no reason for Auburn stu­dents
to feel persecuted about this par­ticular
policy Numerous colleges and
universities have operated with- a "no
smoking" rule for years. The rule has
been found to be an inconvenience, but
not a disaster as some,^ijLhtJBP^9-Se.
There is one major inconsistency in
the ruling which we cannot possibly
understand. This is the fact that "no
smoking" regulations applv to only
undergraduate classrooms, labs and au­ditoriums.
It hardly seems feasible to
believe that graduate cigarette butts
create any less a problem than do those
of undergraduates.
We are fullv w a r e of the arguments
that eulogize the maturity of graduate
students. Does this necessarilv imply
that they are any better handlers of
cigarette butts? We think not.
| If a university regulation is to be
ll efficient and enforceable, it must apply
to everyone. Student conduct is not an
area in which academic seniority may
;be the cause for discrimination.
The Davis Incident
We are very pleased with the atti­tude
of both Auburn and Georgia Tech
over the kicking incident in Saturday's
gridiron clash. Everyone at Tech from
the president to the violator, Ted Da­vis,
has apologized to Auburn. The apo­logies
have been accented. The imnor-tant
thing is that David Rawson is "per­fectly
all right".
While it has not been established, and
will not be, that Rawson's injury came
as a result of Davis's kick to the head,
the act was an overt violation of the
ethics of good soortsmanshio. No one
knows this any better than Ted Davis.
After his resignation from the Tech
squad, Davis stated, "I am sorry that
I have disgraced Georgia Tech as
well as my teammates and the coaching
staff. I hone that they will forgive me.
And most of all, of course, I hone that
David Rawson will trv to forgive this
terrible thing that I did in anger." So
be it. The incident is closed as far as
we are concerned.
We are not particularly pleased that
Ted Davis has seen fit to leave the Tech
sanad. Emotions run high in big foot­ball
games. Similar incidents have hap­pened
hundreds of times before and
will happen a<*ain. True, thev are most
unfortunate. However, the frustrations
arising from a bad day's play when your
team is losing will cause a person to do
things that he normally wouldn't con­sider
doing. It is our opinion that such
was the case with Davis.
The real misfortune associated with
this incident is its handling by the daily
press. It served to reopen an old feud
between the Birmingham and Atlanta
papers over a similar incident related
to Georgia Tech and Alabama. We are
nroud that Auburn wants no part of
the controversy. Relations between Au­burn
and Georgia Tech have been ex­ceptionally
good for the past, ten years.
We see no reason why this incident
should hinder their further develop­ment.
Paper Chanaes
There have been several changes in
the composition of the campus news­paper
this year which we feel are de­serving
of an explanation to the stu­dent
body. The first major change
is the "flag" or title of the naper across
page 1. As old students will note, the
term "Auburn" has been added to the
old name, The Plainsman. This change
was made at the suggestion of news-paner
critics.

out across the country each week. The

Self-Preservation
Americans Must Review The Fight
And Take No Less Than Victory
By Harry Hooper
At the moment I write this
I think of how we stand in the
Cold War. It is not pleasant. I
think of Cuba lying in read­iness
a short distance from our
shores. I think of the confusion
in Vietnam. I think of Tito in
Williamsburg and I wonder
what he is thinking. I think
of the countries that have gone
o v e r to communists since
World War II. And I think of
those countries in Africa and
South America and the Near
East that may go over any
day now.
I think in fear, for if our
foreign policy continues as it
has been, I may see the day
when America is enslaved.
And I think back to see what
our foreign policy has been; I
see the only alternative — to
win.
Our foreign policy since
World War n is easy to sum
up: inconsistent, confused,
illogical, and timid. We have
shown common sense in only
a few instances, such as the
Berlin Airlift and Lebanon.
The rest has been a fiasco.
We have been trying to buy
countries. We have tried to ap­pease
them. We have b e en
naive and we have been duped.
In a word, we are consistently
losing the Cold War.
It is possible that in the next
decade t h e pro-communists
and neutrals under their in­fluence
may well become com,
pletely over-run by commun­ists.
It will be a lonely world
indeed for the U.S. with only
a few scattered nations be­longing
to the free world com­munity.
We can, however, prevent
this from happening. We can
still win the Cold War.
To do this we must adopt
a victory-oriented foreign pol­icy.
We must know our beliefs
and stick to them consistently.
And most of all we must act in
a way which will promote re­spect.
Respect is the key to saving
pur nation. We must gain the
respect we deserve as the most
powerful nation on the face of
the earth.
To gain respect we must take
the offensive. We should use
our power to support govern­ments
that are friendly toward
us. If communists take a neu­tral
country or a pro-western
country by any means what­soever,
we should act to re­cover
it. However, distasteful
it may be, we must use troops
when it is necessary to regain
a "captured" country. We
should give aid when it will
benefit us but never to an­nounced
enemies. We should
gain respect as being a coun­try
knowing what it stands for
and knowing it will fight to
protect it. In no case should we
crawl on our knees to Russia
crying "peace, peace," when
Russia's kind of peace means
enslavement.
Already I hear the voices
crying "no." The American
image will be destroyed if we
use force. Will it? Was it de­stroyed
in 1898 when we drove
Spain from Cuba? Was it de­stroyed
when we went into
Lebanon? No. Those w e re
times when every country in
the world looked to the Unit­ed
States as a man in the fam­ily
of nations.
The voices cry no. Russia
will start a nuclear war if we
cross her. I say observe your
enemy. They are not fools.
They say no. The ends do not
justify the means. True, per­haps,
but I ask them, "Is there
honor in self-preservation?"
And they cry no. And give
no reason. Is it timidity? Fear?
A lack of confidence in their
country? A lack of knowledge?
Is it that they have been led
astray by the idealists who sit
in fear over green conference
tables?
Americans must awaken and
review the fight. We must
stand up and be counted for,
the cause. We must be bold
and resolute.
And we should settle for no
less than victory.
tion of the universitv to those who
mi<*ht otherwise be unfamiliar with the
institution. Addition of War Earde III
to the flag should be self-exnlanatorv.
The famous bird has become Auburn's
most publicised symbol.
A new change this week is one es­tablished
bv the publisher. The paper
is approximately three-ouarters of an
inch narrower than usual. It is now the
same width as most metropolitan dail­ies.
This change should improve the ap­pearance
of the paper and provide for
easier handling by readers.
Guest Editorial
From Town And Country
WESLEYAN COLLEGE, MACON, GEORGIA
James Thurber writes of the citified Scotty dog. who
thought he knew everything until the fateful day he met
a "certain animal with a white stripe down his back." The
moral, Thurber explains is that, "It is better to ask some
of the questions than to know all the answers."
Agreed, it is worthwhile to question, but what do we
feel should be done when the answers are not the conven­tional
ones expected. What happens if they only con­fuse,
making more questions and no solutions?
Some of the speakers on our campus last year made
statements that surprised many and shocked at least a
few. None of the guests were radical—their view of
Christianity or politics may have been different, but they
did not preach complete reform of our entire social order.
Some students were actually scandalized because they
had never considered before that there might be an answer
other than the one their beloved Sunday School teacher
back home had always accepted and passed along.
It seems appropriate to meet people and ideas while in
college that are different from our own; indeed from what
we have been taught to think of as right and completely
proper.
Whether citified or countrified we need to ask ques­tions—
the hard kind with the paradoxes for answers, and
admit there are some things we just do not know.

The Mule Bows Its Many Heads
By Bobby Boettcher
s I
I was not at all surprised
when I heard about the white
lady in Gadsden who last week
filed suit for several hundred
thousand dollars against Dr.
Martin Luther King and other
civil leaders for causing her
nervousness, embarrassment,
and loss of balance during a re­cent
demonstration in Gadsden.
We live in a state where white
supremacy is an established le­gality,
where even on election
day, as we enter the voting
booth we find at the head of
the majority party column on
the ballot a picture of a white
rooster with the slogan "White
Supremacy" printed above its
head. In such a state, the lady
is justified in seeking redress
for any slight imposition suf­fered
at the hands of a group
officially inferior to her and
her fellow Caucasians. Alabam-ians
nod in approval while
shuddering at the gall of the
"smart niggers" to humiliate in
any way that untarnished lily—
the white woman.
The Negroes will offer many
' arguments in their defense, but
probably would not admit that
their being so long accustomed
to humiliation has drastically
reduced their capacity to sym­pathize
with such trivial dis­comfort
as that claimed by the
lady plaintiff. The Negro's le­vel
of argument is too high. He
dares to state his position on a
basis of human being vs. hu­man
being. Somehow he does
not realize that in this state he
has not been accorded that sta­tus;
that his suffering, though
tragic, cannot be viewed as hu­man
suffering.
He truly knows the meaning
of white supremacy. We have
thrust it even into his subcons­cious
mind. We have humiliated
him into believing that he real­ly
is what we call a "nigger":
Old Negro men say "yes suh"
to me every time I address
t h e m ; Negro grandmothers
stand away from doorways as
if to allow me—some forty
years their junior — to go
through first; Negro parades
and football games have be­come
sideshows in which the
clowning increases the more
the white spectators laugh and
buy tickets; Negro housemaids,
when given a ride home, invar­iably
sit in the back seat on
the side opposite the driver;
Negro women meekly pass by
the sign at the service station
which reads "White Ladies"
and open the door marked
"Colored Women" or even "Col­ored".
Humiliation inhibits the
basic initiative of a Negro's
life; any chance of asserting
himself as an individual is non­existent.
Yet we preach indi­vidualism
as the very bedrock
of the "southern way of life".
The refuge of white supremacy,
however, allows us to add a
corollary to this cherished doc­trine.
Through it we can look at
the Negro, not as a singular
being, but as one black mass:
each "person" is seen as no­thing
but a cell in a huge or­ganism
of service to us, a sort
of many-headed mule.
The lady from Gadsden ob­viously
laments the emergence
of some of those former "cells"
as individuals in their own
right, and is shocked by their
audacity to question her Cau­casian
pre-eminence. In retal­iation,
she tries to strike at the
very roots of the problem, by
suing the "outside agitators"
who have thrown amiss the
neat little world of contentment
and superiority she formerly
enjoyed. Might I suggest that
the roots at which she would
strike run deeper into the
ground: she might consider for
prospective defendants in her
lawsuit various educators, pub­lishing
houses, movie compan­ies,
and the like for allowing
the Negro to become educated;
if somehow the suit could be
served on .him, she might sue
God, for creating the Negro
with a rational mind in the
first place.

dismal. Nevertheless, t h is
country is headed in one gen­eral
direction, and that direc­tion
is down. Although the
communists are providing a
strong tail-wind, our main
propulsion comes from within,
from our own people, the very
ones who should be pushing us
upward.
A predominant misconception
of our era is that one need not
be informed about any field of
study other than his own. This
idea is primitive, backward,
and extermely dangerous to the
well-being of our republic. As
members of a democracy, we
the people of the United States
have not only the right but also
the obligation of being well-in­formed
on all the affairs of our
nation. We are so obligated be­cause
we are directly responsi­ble
for the government of this
country and because we ac­cepted
this responsibility as we
accepted our rights and privi­leges
as citizens of the U. S.
This, one might say, is common
knowledge, but on the other
hand, knowledge is quite dif­ferent
from action.
Last year during the Cuban
crisis, there was a general
awareness that the forked-tongued
Mr. K. could not be
trusted to keep his word. How­ever,
we refused to realize that
the world expects nothing from
us, either. Our aims are too
lofty for the underprivileged
peoples of this world to under­stand;
we are unrealistic in our
approach to these peoples. As in
the case of Laos, a tiny state
with no means of communica­tion,
and no real government,
we continually expect our dol­lars
to work miracles for us.
We try to nay our way out of
responsibility for the under­developed
areas of the world;
in other words, we try to buy
their trust and friendship.
But buying friends is not the
most serious of our crimes a-gainst
the world; the worst is
our ignorance of and indiffer­ence
toward other countries. I
wonder if the general U. S.
public is even partially aware
of the poor state of foreign af­fairs.
For example, in 1959 Laos
made the news every day, but
how many even know the lo­cation
of the state; how many
know why they heard of Laos;
how many know its political
importance to the U. S.? The
answer to these questions is in
all probability, "few". Yet the
situation in Laos marked the
beginning of a downward path
for the U. S.
Our government, at that time,
appropriated to Laos $35,000,000
each year for various internal
improvements. A road was to
be constructed in order to uni­fy
the country, and a gigantic
army was to be organized and
maintained for defensive pur­poses;
this was suoposedly ac­complished.
A Congressional
investigation revealed, however,
that Laos, as a whole, had ob­tained
no benefit from the
money allotted to their govern­ment.
When our little miracle
failed, Congress decided to les­sen
our support of Laos by a
few million dollars. The Lao­tian
government, in a desperate
attempt to halt this action, sent
word to our government that
communist forces were invad­ing
Laos from the north. All
plans for disappropriation were
forgotten; there was much talk
of war; newspaper stories car­ried
Laotian datelines and were
supposedly written in the thick
of battle. The U. S. ambassador
called for U. N. intervention.
But no one even bothered to in­vestigate
or to question the va­lidity
of this invasion.
The result of this foolish mis­take
was magnanimous. U. S.
representatives were referred
to by enemies as "imperialistic
war-monffe.rs". Our nolitical al­lies
thought us foolish and in­competent,
and neutrals thoueht
us. aggressive. This great loss
of respect for U. S. diplomacy
was caused by misinformation
and total ignorance of a situa­tion.
Fortunately, the Laos crisis
has passed but the American
crisis remains. We continue to
fight imaginary enemies while
our real enemy, ignorance, re­mains
untouched and unnotic­ed.
When will we stop fighting
ourselves?
Vi lews
| By HARRY WILKINSON!
The skyline of Manhattan
looms large against the horizon.
One has the sensation of enter­ing
a new world as the nimble
jet touches down at Idlewild
International Airport. The uni­versal
character of the big city
immediately strikes you as you
pass through a door marked
"Gentlemen, Messieurs, and
Caballeros".
Cultural diversity is New
York City's
most strik­ing
feature.
Nowhere are
the people so
d i f f e r e nt.
Nowhere is
,, , the lndivi-
1 d u a l more
s e e m i n gly
i n s i g n ifi-c
a n t . The
pace is hur­ried,
the at­mosphere
cold, but the nation­al
and international flavor of
the town intrigues the bewild­ered
visitor.
Out in the harbor, Emma
Lazarus has inscribed the story
of New York on the base of
the Statue of Liberty. "Give
me your tired, your poor, your
huddled masses yearning to
breathe free; The wretched re­fuse
of your teeming shore.
Send these, t h e homeless,
tempest-tost, to me: I light my
lamp beside the golden door."
They have come by the thou­sands.
A major difference in New
York and the interior of our
country is the former's recog­nition
that some of our fore­fathers
caught the boat, others
didn't. The ones who caught
the earlier America bound
boats are the grand patriots
of the American Revolution.
Latter day travelers to this
country are oftentimes fore­igners
and unwelcome immi­grants.
The city and its people
have learned to live as Ameri­cans
of variegated foreign
backgrounds. We of the inter­ior
have learned to live in
such a manner but have often­times
forgotten that our an­cestry
extends beyond the con­tinental
limits.
This failure to extend our
heritage beyond the shores of
America is probably one maior
reason for many social, politi­cal,
and religious ills facing
the nation today.
No one person, family, race,
creed, or religion has claim to
priority over that of any other.
A boat trio ties all Americans
together. Virtually all of us
are descendents of an oppress­ed
people. In most cases, the
originators of our familv in
America were the chaff of the
lands from which they came.
The point is that thev came
with a fixed and steady pur­pose
of mind. They came to
seek equal opportunity in the
only land where it was avail­able.
Thines are no different today.
The Cuban refugee in Miami
and the Chinese migrant in
San Francisco are deserving of
the same initial respect ac­corded
to the most prominent
families on Beacon Hill in
Boston. These "foreigners" are
here for t h e same purposes
that inspired the Revolution­ary
veterans to come. Strati­fication
of modern society will
make the newer arrivals' lad­der
of opportunity more diffi­cult
to climb, but they are de­serving
of the chance. We have
no historical right to look
down on anyone from a ped­estal
of environmental or phy­sical
pre-eminence.
There are thousands of such
cultural reminders walking
the streets of New York. The
city's finest showpieces are not
to be found in The Museum of
Modern Art. They are to be
found in the tenement houses
and at Idlewild, La Guardia.
the harbor, and Grant Central
Station. The arrival of every
modern oceanliner retells the
American story in a manner
that the Daughters of the
American Revolution can nev­er
hope to surpass.
Out on Roosevelt Drive and
on the edge of the island, a
giant edifice surveys t h is
American story with calm dig­nity.
It is the United Nations
Building. New York is an ap­propriate
geographical location
for an organization of this
name. The United States is in
reality a "United Nations."
New York City exemplifies
well this fact.
Letters To The Editor
McMillan and Ministers
Guilty Of Sacrilege
Editor, The Plainsman:
I read George McMillan's
column in last week's Plains­man
with genuine interest. In
case you missed the column,
Mr. McMillan pointed out how
our religious leaders have been
guilty of the sacrilege of con­doning
integration and made
the point that the business of
the clergy is religion and not
sociology.
Mr. McMillan, you do not
realize the half of the sacri­lege!
I have before me a copy
of a book which may be found
in the library of every min­ister
in the city of Auburn. On

'•Barefoot Boy With Cheek.")
BOOM!
Today, foregoing levity, let us turn our keen young minds to
the principal problem facing American colleges today: the
population explosion. Only last week four people exploded in
Cleveland, Ohio—one of them while carrying a plate of soup.
In case you're thinking such a thing couldn't happen anywhere
but in Cleveland, let me tell you about two other cases last
week—a 45-year-old man in Provo, Utah, and a 19-year-old
girl in Northfield, Minnesota. And, in addition, there was a
near miss in High Point, North Carolina—an eight-year-old
boy who was saved only by the quick thinking of his cat, Fred,who
pushed the phone off the hook with his muzzle and dialed the
department of weights and measures. (It would, perhaps, have
been more logical for Fred to dial the fire department, but one
can hardly expect a cat to summon a fire engine which is fol­lowed
by a Dalmatian, can one?)
But I digress. The population explosion, I say, is upon us.
It is, of course, cause for concern but not for alarm, because I
feel sure that science will ultimately find an answer. After all,
pr yeotle eabdd
has not science in recent years brought us such marvels as the
maser, the bevatron, and the Marlboro filter? Oh, what a saga
of science was the discovery of the Marlboro filter! Oh, what a
heart-rending epic of trial and error, of dedication and perse­verance!
And, in the end, what a triumph it was when the
Marlboro research team, after years of testing and discarding
one filter material after another—iron, nickel, tin, antimony,
obsidian, poundcake—finally emerged, tired but happy, from
their laboratory, carrying in their hands the perfect filter
cigarette! Indeed, what rejoicing there still is whenever we
light up a Marlboro which comes to us in soft pack and Flip-
Top Box in all fifty states and Cleveland I
Yes, science will ultimately solve the problems arising from
the population explosion, but meanwhile America's colleges
are in dire straits. Where can we find classrooms and teachers
for today's gigantic influx of students?
Well sir, some say the solution is to adopt the trimester sys­tem.
This system, already in use at many colleges, eliminates
summer vacations, has three semesters per annum instead of
two, and compresses a four-year-course into three years.
This is, of course, good, but is it good enough? Even under
the trimester system the student has occasional days off. More­over,
his nights are utterly wasted in sleeping. Is this the kind
of all-out attack that is indicated?
I say no. I say desperate situations call for desperate reme­dies.
I say that partial measures will not solve this crisis. I
say we must do no less than go to school every single day of
the year. But that is not all. I say we must go to school H
hours of every day!
The benefits of such a program are, as you can see, obvious.
First of all, the classroom shortage will disappear because all
the dormitories can be converted into classrooms. Second, the
teacher shortage will disappear because all the night watchmen
can be put to work teaching solid state physics and Restoration
drama. And finally, overcrowding will disappear because every­body
will quit school.
Any further questions? © i«63 M»« shuimm
Yes, one further question: the makers of Marlboro, who
sponsor this column, would like to know whether you have
tried a Marlboro lately. It's the filter cigarette with a man't
world of Savor. Settle back and enjoy one toon.
page 1160 the story is told of
a white minister who not only
rides in a carriage with a Ne­gro,
but also gives the Negro
scripture lessons and baptizes
him!
On page 1088 of the book
there is the gem: "You should
love the Lord with all your
heart, soul, mind, and strength,
and you should love your
neighbor as yourself." And
who is this neighbor whom we
are admonished to love? This
question is answered by the
story of a man who suffers
misfortunes and receives aid
from a person of a different
a n d inferior ethnic group.
Your neighbor, this book inti­mates,
is any man of any race
or ethnic group!
The book is really only a
collection of stories, but a
number of these stories clearly
expound philosophies which
are in violent opposition to
some of our most sacred
Southern traditions. It is an
unfortunate fact that many of
our religious leaders have
adopted the demented philo­sophy
of this collection of
heresy, and are systematically
trying to pervert o u r minds
with it.
How much longer will we
endure this sacrilege? Let us
rise up men of God! Let us
stand up for Alabama! Let us
destroy this book, let us
chasten its readers, and let us
crucify again its nigger-loving
author.

Packard Praise
Editor, The Plainsman:
At his lecture last Wednes­day
night, Vance Packard,
author-economist, made sev­eral
comments which I feel
are of interest to the Auburn
student body.
At the beginning of his
speech, Packard mentioned
that after reading the editorial
in The Plainsman, entitled
"Vance Packard" that he fully
expected to "face a sea of
empty chairs." He expressed
appreciation for t h e large
turnout, which, by the way,
was an overflow crowd with
standing room only.
He went on to say that, "The
Auburn Plainsman is the most
stimulating college newspaper
that I have recently encount­ered."
A man of such national
statue making this statement
of praise, in my opinion, re­flects
high credit to the pub­lication.
Congratulations are in order
for you, your staff, and the
Auburn student body, both for
the quality of your publica­tion
and also the student
body's attendance at the lec­ture.

New Testament Does
Deal With Sociology
Editor, The Plainsman,
I am sure many would en­joy
the spectacle of Mr. G.
McMillan debating with any
one of the 11 religiously-moti­vated
people who were so bold
as to assume that religion has
anything to do with sociology.
Naturally, Mr. McMillan would
be supporting the position that
religion has nothing to say
about social matters.
I am most eager to find how
Mr. McMillan concludes that
the majority of the 10 com­mandments
are not guides to
social behaviour, or how, in
reading the New Testament, he
finds that Christ had nothing
to say about the social con­duct
of humanity.
I look forward with keen in­terest
to Mr. McMillan's se­mantics
on other issues. Above
all, I anxiously hope that our
Auburn students allow the im­partial
light of logic to illum­inate
these articles.

Dr. R. J, Stalcup
Education Professor Well Known;
Dr. Stalcup Holds Definite Views
My MARY DIXON
F ew students will remember Dr. R. J. Stalcup from
his triumphal entrance to t h e speaker's platform to the
t u n e of "The Stripper" at last year's Chattanooga pep
rally. Most students, however, know Dr. Stalcup as an
associate professor in the School of Education.
Dr. Stalcup is a native of
Fargo, N.D. After high school,
he went into the Navy for four
years and then entered Huron
College, in Huron, S.D. While
at Huron he met Mrs. Stalcup,
who was an assistant professor
of English. The student mar­ried
the teacher. One year he
had a class in the history of the
theater under Mrs. Stalcup.
Dr. Stalcup took his Master's
degree in Sociology and Doctor
of Education in School Admin­istration
at the University of
Nebraska. When he wasn't
working on his degree, he had
a job as guard at the Nebraska
State Reformatory f o r Men.
Post-doctoral work was done
at Teacher's College of Colum­bia
University in School Ad­ministration
and Sociology.
For a year before coming to
Auburn in i960, Dr. Stalcup
was administrative assistant to
the editor of The School Exe­cutive
Magazine in New York
City.
Around the Auburn campus
Dr. Stalcup is well known for
his dynamic talks to campus
groups. He is faculty advisor to
Lamhda Chi Alpha fraternity
and president of the Fraternity
Advisory Council. He is an
"enthusiastic" golf player, but
he refused to divulge his score.
He teaches the college level
Sunday school at the Presby­terian
Church.
Dr. Stalcup, as an educator,
has definite views on college
students and young people of
today. In his judgment, "Con-

Auburn Wrecks Tech
Editor, The Plainsman:
Congratulations and thanks
to Mr. McMillan. I agree
wholeheartedly with him on
all his editorials this year, and
especially with the last one. I
had wondered when someone
would have the intestinal for­titude
to print an article on
the plight of our (supposedly)
religious leaders w h o think
that the church is a place to
teach sociology, rather than a
place to worship God, and to
teach His word. Keep up the
good w o r k , George, even
though your editorials are cen­sored.
Curses-to Mr. Wilkinson and
Mr. Phillips. It has been a long
time since any Plainsman edi­tors
had the gall to insist that
an Auburn athletic team was
inferior to an opponent's team.
Even the imputedly unfavor­ably
biased Sports Editor of
The Birmingham News (Benny
Marshall) picked Auburn to
"WRECK TECH." The fact
that Mr. Sidle and the rest of
the Fighting Tigers h a ve
proved Mr. Marshall correct
makes me and the rest of the
student body extremely happy.
Edwin D. Walker
We would once again like to
point out that no Plainsman
editorials or columns are cen­sored
in any way except by the
rules of good journalistic prac­tice
and the laws of libel.—Ed.

trary to popular beliefs, college
students of today are more

of even 10 years ago. I have no
patience," he continues, "with
prophets of doom who are con­stantly
complaining about mo­tives
of college students."
On the question of the su­periority
or inferiority of an
American education, Dr. Stal­cup
feels very strongly that an
education in America cannot
be compared with an educa­tion
elsewhere, because they
serve different purposes. He
believes an education can only
be judged by how well it at­tains
the goals set up by the so­ciety
in which it operates. He

asks if independent, indivi­dual
critical thought, such as
Americans desire to have, can
be better developed by a re­gimented
system as in per­haps
Russia, or by a compre­hensive
system as in the Unit­ed
States.
Dr. Stalcup believes strongly
in the American system of free
public education. "It has been
instrumental," he said, "in
making America what it is,
and it will continue to be in­strumental
in maintaining it."

Same Story Again (?)
With the beginning of fall practice, a tense air of op­timism
filled the Plains. This was to be the year of "rebuild­ing—
but with a solid foundation." "Big backs and inexperienc­ed
linemen," read the preseason dope.
Finally the day of reckoning came. The Tigers trotted onto
the field to battle Tennessee. Something went wrong—Auburn
fell behind. With a late-game rally, however, the Vols were
disposed of. Then came the fighting Wildcats from the hills of
Kentucky. Behind a rather erratic offense, the Tigers polished
off the men from the blue grass state.
Tiny Chattanooga was next—visiting the Plains in the best
of spirits, as always. The undefeated tigers lined up against
the out-manned Moccasins. The Plainsmen sputtered—so the re­serves
came in and managed to pile up a respectable final
score.
Then came THE weekend. "Wreck Tech" cried the students.
The stands filled up—the liquid in the bottles went down. They
stood . . . the Tigers ran . . . the Jackets fell. "Are these Tigers
really that good", we asked each other? After all, they are final­ly
ranked in the "top ten"—after being ignored for so long.
The schedule read "Florida next". But who is worried? Af­ter
all, who can beat a team ranked as high as our Tigers?
National Ratings . . .
Sound familiar? Sure, you say—any stupid idiot can tell
that you are writing the story of the 1963 Auburn Tigers. But
look again, my friend. We are recalling the story of the 1962 Ti­gers.
The unbeaten, untied, highly-ranked Tigers visited Florida.
The game was a shock—the score read 22-3 in Florida's favor.
The Tigers that were "supposed to win" just flat got the heck
beat out of them.
Just what are we trying to point out? Simply this . . .
NATIONAL RATINGS DON'T MEAN A THING ! ! It is easy to
convince the sports writers that you are good. It is easy to
convince your fans. It is easy to convince yourself (should we
say your own ego?) But it is hard as heck to convince the other
team—especially Florida. How much good did Alabama's high
ranking do them? None. The Gators beat Bama in their own
back yard while the Tide fans cried "but we are the number
two team in the nation!"
You take your national rankings—we will take 11 men
tagged as underdogs. Alabama was favored over Florida; Tech
was favored over Auburn—upsets resulted. Now our Tigers
will be favored over Florida—an upset may result.
. . . Take Them Away!
But wait—don't take our word that national ratings are
undersirable. Just ask Coach Ralph Jordan . . . or Buck Brad-berry.-,.
•«• >-or George .Atkins. They will tell you, and it will
sound something like this: "We are pleased to be shown this
honor by the press—;sure, our boys need the confidence—but
over-confidence is the last thing ,we want." And believe you
me,' those national ratings do bring over-confidence. The hu­man
element is the big unpredictable factor in college football—
and national ratings are not based on psychology. If anything,
they are based on past performances. Past performances, gentle­men,
do not win ball games.
After all of this verbal chastising you probably think we
are displeased with Auburn football. If so, you are dead wrong.
We are just as proud of our undefeated, untied, previously un-ranked
Tigers as you are—probably even more so. But we want
them to be undefeated, untied, and (if necessary) unranked at
the end of the season.
So, Florida will have the "upset motive" on their side
next week. We envy them—because Ray Graves makes good use
of psychology (to wit: the Gators had Confederate flags painted
on their helmets when they beat Penn State in the Gator Bowl
last season). However, the Tigers should have an even stronger
motive on their side—it is called revenge. This is the team that
started things going wrongest year at the middle of the season.
Next week could be the turning point in the whole season
—either way. We shall wait. We shall see. Meanwhile, we had
still rather be tagged an "underdog".

Auburn Freshmen Trek To Athens
For Gridiron Tussle With Bullpups
By. TED H1LEY
On Oet,;.26,;the twice beaten
Auburn freshmen travel to
Athens, Ga., in search of their
first win of the season against
t h e University of Georgia
freshmen.
The Georgia frosh's only
game this season was a 17-7
win over a highly regarded
Clemson freshman squad. The
tough Georgia defense was the
key factor in the game. They
pressured the Clemson quar­terback
into throwing a vital
pass interception that was re­turned
by an alert Georgia de­fensive
back for 50 yards and
a TD.
The Georgia offense is head­ed
by Kirby Moore of Dothan,
Ala., and 6'2", 200 pound full­back
John Greene. Moore is
an excellent passer and h is
ability to run with the • ball
makes him extremely danger­ous.
Fullback Greene is a pow­er-
runner with enough speed
to go the distance if given a
chance.
The Auburn frosh have been
working hard in an effort to
correct the errors.that plagued
them in their loss to Missis­sippi
State. In the State game,
Auburn lost four fumbles and
suffered 140 yards in penalties,
many of which occurred on
crucial third down plays. This
prevented Auburn's offense

Undefeated football teams
after the second week of IFC
play are league one, SC and
SN; league two, ATO and KA;
league three, PKA, TX a n d
LCA; and in league four, PKP
and PKT. Last week's action
was characterised by many
close games. Possibly the clos­est
game ever played in Intra-murals
was between Division
D and Division H in which Di­vision
D was victorious. They
won in sudden death by a total
yard gainage of plus three and
a half feet. There also were
many games in IFC action
where the winner was deter­mined
by only one touchdown.
The greatest outbursts of of­fense
were by SN, KA and TX
as each scored three touch­downs.
The most improved
team this season is TX as they
have already won two impres­sive
victories.
LEAGUE ONE
SC, defending champions, re­mained
undefeated in a n ip
and tuck battle with DTD. The
game ended with neither team
scoring; however in sudden
death, SC was victorious by
gaining three yards and hold­ing
DTD to a minus eight
yards. SN continued to stay
even with SC by crushing PSP
by the score of 21-0. Jimmy
Hood and Frazier Hollis each
scored TD's on passes from
quarterback Bill Bullock.
LEAGUE TWO
The ATO's continued their
drive toward their second
straight league championship
by beating TQ6r0, This was a
real defensive battle, with
neither team doing much in
the first half. The lone touch­down
came late in the third
quarter and was the one real
threat of the game for either
team. KA kept pace with ATO
by beating a tough SAE team
19 to 6. Neither team scored
in the first quarter but KA
marked once in the second
quarter and led 6 to 0 at the
half. KA scored once in each
of the last quarters while the
only SAE TD came in the last
quarter. Glenn Gilbert scored
all of the KA TD's. One of the
touchdowns was scored on a
40 yard pass from KA quarter­back
Ronnie Dempsey while
the other two were made on
passes from 10 yards out.
Larry Cotney was the only
SAE to find pay dirt. He did it
on a pass from quarterback
Arnold Umbach. The other
league game found DC gain­ing
their first IFC victory by
defeating AP 12 to 0. DC scor­ed
in both the first and fourth
quarters.
LEAGUE THREE
In a league that has three
undefeated teams anything can
happen, so watch out for some
upsets next week. PKA, win­ners
last year, won their sec­ond
straight game by defeating
OTS 13 to 0 in a hard fought
battle. Left-end DeWayne Ho-ven
scored one touchdown for
PKA and right-end Jody Phil­lips
crossed the goal-strip for
the other touchdown. Both
TD's were on passes from the
fine PKA quarterback. LCA,
determined not to be left be­hind,
beat SP 8 to 7 by scoring
a safety and touchdown in the
second quarater and fighting
back threats made by SP in
the third quarter. Without a
doubt the most improved team
in IFC football is TX. They
kept their winning streak alive
and i-emained tied f o r first
place as they breezed past KS
19 to 0. TX scored in each of
the first three quarters and put
up a tough defense which held
KS to very little yardage,
LEAGUE FOUR
PKP took over the league
lead by beating DU 7 to 6 in
a real close game. The DU's
scored first, but failed to make
their extra point, which was
the decisive point in the game.
The PKP touchdown and PAT
came in the second quarter.
Both teams had several threats
in the second half but all were
stopped short of the goal-line.
AGR defeated PDT 6 to 0 in a
game that was full of action.
AGR scored the game's only
mark in the third quarter on a
30 yard pass from Leroy Jones
to end Appleton. The try for
the extra-point failed. Inter­ceptions
marked the difference
in the game as both teams had

fullback who cracked the Auburn line for 123 yards in
last Saturday's game, is swamped by a host of Auburn

Coach Joel Eaves Reiurns To Reins
As 1963-64 Basketball Practice Starts
By GEORGE STALLARD
Auburn h e a d basketball
coach Joel Eaves, back again
at the reigns of the Tiger team,
is seeking to bolster his r e ­turning
squad of three start­ers
and only five lettermen.
Practice began Oct. 15, for
the ambitious Tigers, and they
show early signs of being
strong contenders for the co­veted
Southeastern Conference
crown.
Returning starters are sen­iors
Larry Cart, Larry Chap­man,
and John Blackwell.
Chapman and Cart give Au­burn
a pair of excellent back-court
men, while Blackwell is
experienced up front at the
forward post. John, at 6'11",
will be the shortest forward in
the SEC. Top returning scorer
is John Blackwell. He aver­aged
13.9 points per game and
was second to Layton Johns in
the conference in field goal
shooting accuracy, whisking in
baskets at a .561 clip. Larry
Cart averaged 13.4 points per
game, and Larry Chapman
averaged 10.0. .
Layton Johns, SEC's most
valuable player last year, was
lost by graduation, and his fa­miliar
position at center will
be missed. Battling for the va­cated
hilltop spot are juniors
Joe Newton and Curt O'Daniel.
Newton and O'Daniel shared
playing time behind Johns last
year. Curt, at 6'10" is a
est man on the squad and a
rugged rebounder. Joe subbed
for Layton after the latter
fouled out against Bama in the
last of the season and helped
Auburn w i n an overtime
struggle with seven points and
seven rebounds.
Freddie Guy and Lee De-
Fore, a redshirted sophomore,
are the top contenders for the
other forward post. Guy is a
proficient rebounder and de­fender,
while DeFore is one of
t h e team's better outside
shooters.
Another returnee, Lamar
Henry, will battle Blackwell
for playing time. Junior Tim
Pearson and promising sophs
Hervert Green and Tommy
Filbe will pressurize Chapman
and Cart for guard duties.
Auburn opens the season
against Howard in Auburn on
Dec. 3. Highlighting the pre-
SEC schedule will again be
i the Sugar Bowl tournament in
New Orleans, which Auburn
won last year.
Auburn opens the tourney
with Duke. The victor will
play the winner of the Ken­tucky-
Loyola of New Orleans
contest for the championship
on Dec. 31.

Also entered in the meet are
several track clubs including
the Atlanta Striders.
Distance for this meet is 5,-
000 meters (a little over three
miles). Auburn will enter
seven men in the test of speed
and endurance. Captain of the
Tiger contingent is Charles
Patterson, who in Coach Ro­sen's
words has .made consid­erable'progress
in practice ses­sions.
On two practice occa­sions,
Patterson has broken the
existing record for the Auburn
cross country-course.
Jim Lynch, John Anderson,
Steve Bowden, Frank Feagin,
Ray Kirkpatrick, and George
Cobb comprise the remaind­er
of the t e a m which will
compete. These seven were
chosen following time trials
held last Friday afternoon.
Following the C a l l o w a y

travel to Gainesville, Fla., to
face the Gators on Nov. 4,
in a dual meet. Alabama and
Georgia Tech are scheduled to
meet Auburn Nov. 11 and 18,
respectively, over the local
course. The Southeastern Con­ference
title meet is set for
Nov. 25 in Atlanta, Ga.

Pardon me if I sound as if the
executive position I've landed
deals with the whole future of
the world. It does.
Certainly, there's no organization today conduct­ing
more vital business than the business of the
United States Air Force. And very few organiza­tions
that give a college graduate greater oppor­tunities
for responsibility and growth.
As an Air Force officer, you'll be a leader on the
Aerospace Team—with good pay, a 30-day paid
vacation each year, educational opportunities.
How can you get started? For many, the best way
is through Air Force ROTC. But if you missed out
on AFROTC, or if there's no unit on your campus,
you can still apply for Air Force Officer Training
School. This three-month course leads to a com­mission
as a second lieutenant in the United
States Air Force.
