Air Force Initiates
Training Program
Three regular Air Force of­ficers
are in Auburn to study
for advanced degrees through
the Air Force Institute of Tech­nology
program.
Under the Institute of Tech­nology
program, qualified Air
Force officers study for advanc­ed
degrees—principally in tech­nical
subjects—in specially se­lected
colleges and universities.
Auburn was placed on the list
of schools approved for the
program last summer.
According to Air Force offi­cials,
plans have been formu­lated
to send as many as 50 of­ficers
at a time to Auburn to
study for graduate degrees.
ATTENTION
MARCH GRADUATES
Candidates for degrees in
March who have not cleared
deferred grades (Incomplete
and absent Examination) may
do so only with the permission
from the Council of Deans.
Graduates who need to secure
such approval should check
with the Registrar's Office im­mediately.
The Chorale numbers 24
voices, equally divided among
men and women. Originally
formed 15 years ago in South­ern
California, the Chorale has
toured widely in North and
South America and in Europe.
It has received such honors
as an invitation to perform in
London during Queen Eliza­beth's
Coronation Season and
an invitation from the Presi­dent's
S p e c i a l International
Program for Cultural Presen­tations
to tour 10 Latin Amer­ican
countries.
AWARDS
First winning distinction for
its series of performances with
the Los Angeles Philharmonic,
the Chorale has since recorded
a series of best-selling records.
These records range from folk
songs, sea chants and Christ­mas
carols to the great masses,
cantatas a n d madrigals of
Bach, Monteverdi, Palestrina
and Vaughn Williams. The
Chorale has also appeared on
major television shows.
In 1958, the Chorale received
the "Grammy," highest award
of t h e recording industry,
from the Academy of Record­ing
Arts and Sciences for its
album "Virtuoso."
ROGER WAGNER
Roger Wagner, director of
the Chorale, was born in Le-
Puy, France. His father was
organist at the Cathedral of
Dijon. When Wagner was
seven years old, his family
came to the United States and
settled in Los Angeles.
At. the age of 12, Wagner
was organist and choral direc­tor
at the Church of St. Am­brose.
By the time he was 14,
he often substituted for his
father as organist at St. Bren­dan's,
in addition to serving as
boy soprano soloist in the
choir.
Wagner returned to France
to complete his undergraduate
work at the College of Mont­morency
in Paris. There he
spent five years studying or­gan
a n d doing research on
church music.
THE CHORALE
In 1937, Wagner returned to
Los Angeles and became a
member of the Mero-Goldwyn
Mayer chorus. Within a few
years of his return to the
United States, Wagner trained
a group of 50 picked voices,
which( rnade its debut as the
Roger Wagner Chorale.
In addition to his work with
the chorale, Wagner is recog-
New Shopping Center
Planned For County
Construction of a new 20-
acre shopping center on U.S.

said. The establishment
of a J. C. Penny Company and
Rose's Variety Stores in the
project have already been an­nounced.
Other leasees will be
named i.n the near future.
Featured in the project will
be parking space for 1000 auto­mobiles.
According to Lebovitz,
the project will be the largest
commercial retail complex in
the Auburn-Opelika area.
The project will be named

polio vaccine, which was dis­tributed
on campus last Thurs­day,
according to E. K. Ham­mond,
president of the School
of Pharmacy.
Fifty students in the school
of Pharmacy gave the vaccine

given in previous vaccination
drives. The type two dose is
scheduled to be given in late
February.

Quips and Quotes
By SALLY QUILLIAN
The following bits of infor­mation
were taken from the
many newspapers The Auburn
Plainsman receives each week
—Ed.
LIBERAL POLICY
Purdue University is consid­ering
the policy of furnishing
dormitory keys to senior wo­men.
A senior could "borrow" a
key and stay out as late as she
wished, being able to re-enter
her dorm at any hour with her
key. This policy is already
practiced at the University of
Kansas and the University of
Iowa, and is under considera­tion
at Northwestern Universi­ty,
(from The Purdue Eocpon-ent).
RAISING MONEY
A money raising project on
the campus of Hofstra Univer­sity
in Hempstead, N. Y. is call­ed
"Las Vegas Night" and is
sponsored by the Board of Gov­ernors.
Individual school or­ganizations
sponsor booths, and
trophies are given for the best.
After an entrance ticket is
purchased, a student may buy
chips for games of chance at
5-10-or 25 cents. (This con­forms
to a N. Y. state law pro­hibiting
money to cross tables
through gambling devices.)
The Board will reimburse
groups that sponsor games and
booths up to twenty dollars: all
proceeds past this are donated
to the Ford Challenge Fund for
use in .projects and buildings
on the campus.
PARKING PROBLEM
The University of Bridgeport
at Bridgeport, Conn., has a
parking problem. The Director
of security who is in charge of
parking, has reported that 200
university students are on the
verge of explusion for not pay­ing
their parking tickets.
Someone figured out that at
the rate of 20 tickets a day,
it would only take something
like one year for the student
population there to be com­pletely
wiped out. Before this
happens though, the University
is likely to start having all
cars in violation towed away.
Then it would be worthwhile
to get kicked out of school, if
only to go into the towing bus­iness,
the student newspaper
editor claims.
Organization Presents
Films On Communism
Three films on communism,
will be presented by the Au­burn
chapter of the Young
Americans for Freedom -at 7
p.m., Monday, Jan. 27. in Dun-stan
Hall, room 305.
The films are entitled, What
is Communism?, What is the
Difference Between Socialism
and Communism,? and What
Can You Do About It?
The films are narrated by
Herbert Philbrick, a former
undercover agent with the Fed­eral
Bureau of Investigation.
THE FOUR LADS set the festive tone for the beginning

GREEKS AT WORK
&iee& 'Weefa...
THIS WEEK IS GREEK WEEK. A WEEK DEVOTED TO THE
RECOGNITION OF THE MANY CONTRIBUTIONS MADE
BY GREEKS ON THE AUBURN CAMPUS THROUGHOUT
THE YEAR.
GREEKS AT PLAY
Greeks provide a unique blend of social life with education.
All work and no play is not an ideal situation for anyone, especial­ly
young people. However, a common misconception is that a
Greek is devoted entirely to the social aspects of university life.
Greeks participate actively in athletics, hold high offices of great
responsibility in all phases of Student Government, yet these
same Greeks rank consistently high in scholarship.
Nowhere else is the opportunity better found to come into
close contact with individuals from different locales and back­grounds,
and to develop lifelong friendship that will not fade
with the passing years.
Lastly, a Greek develops a sense of devotion, not only to his
fraternity or her sorority, but to the traditions and spirit on which
his and her school has grown and prospered.

Our Misunderstandings
The Auburn Plainsman con­tinues
its series on "Our Mis­understandings"
as an editor­ial
service to its readers. The
article is presented with the
permission oj The Royal Bank
of Canada Monthly News­letter.
Dealing with criticism
Criticism is a fruitful source
of misunderstanding. We must
be careful not a chill our
friends' and our workers' lives
by faultfinding.
It is well when examining
a piece of work submitted for
approval, or considering a
project brought forward by
one of your family, to look
first for its good points and
comment on them. Begin with
praise and honest appreciation.
When the situation to be
criticized is of a social nature,
like the behaviour of someone,
recall that he who points one
accusing finger at another is
pointing three fingers at him­self.
Robert Burns covered this
situation in his poem "To the
Unco Guid":
"Ye high, exalted, virtuous
dames, Tied up in godly
laces,
Before ye gi'e poor Frailty
names, Suppose a chanage
o' cases."
But what about the reverse,
when you are the object of
criticism, perhaps unjustly?

AM-SOUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Your best defence is threefold:
consider whether there is truth
in the criticism, and if so ad­mit
it at once; consider wheth­er
you can profit by the criti­cism
so as to make your work
better or your life more hap­py;
consider whether the per­son
has the right to criticize,
and if he hasn't then unde­ceive
him gently.
In giving or taking criticism,
recall that a fly, alighting on
Parliament Buildings or on the
Arch of Triumph, is able to
declare, with its half-inch vi­sion,
that here is a blemish
and there is an inequality in
the workmanship. Criticism
based on limited vision, unin­formed
about the whole pic­ture,
should be brushed off.
The blight of envy
No man who is superior in
any particular escapes envy.
People think in terms of com­parison.
If he has a better
garden, he is envied by neigh­bors;
if he gains promotion,
he is envied by workmates; if
he copes with events so as to
live happily, he is envied by
failures. Envy is the one re­venge
of mediocrity.
The range of envy has been
greatly extended by the inv
stability of social status and
the equalitarian doctrines of
democracy. The ancient lines
of separation have been eras­ed,
so that the envious man

December Snowfall
Sets 23-Year Record
One inch of snow fell on
Auburn Dec. 31, 1963.
According to J. C. Moore,
official weather recorder f or
the city, this was more snow
than Auburn has seen in 23
years. Records show that in
1940 Auburn was covered with
four inches of snow.
During the calendar year,
1963 temperatures ranged from
zero degrees on Jan. 24, to 103
degrees on June 16. -^
Total rainfall amounted to
52.43 inches for the year. This
is .29 inches less than the an­nual
average amount of rain­fall.

"IN THE AUBURN UNION"
NOVEL
• Dr. G u n t e r is currently
working on a novel which will
depict the rise and decline of
a southern family and one
man's search for identity and
composure in a c h a n g i ng
world.
The hero's strength and his
quiet realization of his position
and ability to make the most
of it reflect Dr. Gunter's view
of the role of philosophy—
namely that it must provide
both an inner understanding
and motivation and at the
same time relate the indivi­dual
to the world around him.
"Philosophy," he explains,
"is t h e discipline studying
things in the most general
manner possible. While it is a
science in itself, philosophy
pervades all other sciences.
THOUGHT
As to patterns of philosoph­ical
thought today, Dr. Gunter
observes that "there has been
no definitive work in philoso­phy
in the last 20 years." The
reason for this current absence
of hard and fast rules and
theories is that the mushroom­ing
of change in all areas of
our-knowledge, both scientific
and humanistic — make t he
naFrowing of thought in con­crete
hypothesis difficult and
undesirable he says.
STUDY
Commenting on the value of
the study of philosophy by
college students, Dr. Gunter
reminded us that, "Once the
mind is stretched with a new
idea, it never retains its old
shape."
The study of philosophy
helps us to overcome our irra­tional
fears and prejudices he
says, and broadens the scope
of our thought with new in­sight
and rationality.

The War We Can't Afford To Lose
Is One Against A Cancer-Poverty
By Bobby Boettcher
YAF Leadership
Although this newspaper is basically
opposed to the point of view espoused
by the Young Americans for Freedom
(YAF), we heartily commend the exis­tence
on campus of any organization
concerned with national affairs. We are,
on the other hand, strongly, opposed
to recent actions of Mr. Charles Mc-
Nees, president of the local YAF chap­ter.
It seems that Mr. McNees, supposed­ly
speaking for the Auburn Young
Americans for Freedom, has seen fit
to wrap himself and his organization up
in the affairs of student government
(or campus politics—as you would have
it.)
These actions have included a call to
the chairman of the Auburn Confer­ence
On International Affairs at which
time Mr. McNees insinuated, if not di­rectly
implied, that the conference
showed signs of becoming an "under­world
liberal conspiracy" of which the
chairman, three years Mr. McNees'
academic senior, might be totally una­ware.
Upon being told that conservative
foreign aid experts such as Sen. Rich­ard
Russell of Georgia were being
sought for the conference, McNees
could only reply that Russell was much
too "liberal." While it is perhaps irrele­vant
to the discussion of Mr. McNees'
harassment of student officials, we
might comment that Senator Russell is
not accorded a place of honor at many
liberal banquet tables.
Upon completion of this significant
task, Mr. McNees has moved on to the
greater work of convincing conservative
members of The Auburn Plainsman
staff that he can "sew up" next year's
editorship for them should they decide
to run with his backing. While we are
not concerned with Mr. McNees' politi­cal
powers, we are moved by his im­pressive
ego. Our conservative staff
members are embarrassed by his ac­tions.
We have deliberately refused to link
Mr. McNees' actions to those of the
Young Americans for Freedom. It is
our belief that the YAF is dedicated to
a program which to their minds repre­sents
responsible political education.
While the Young Democrats are con­ducting
voter registration drives and
the Young Republicans are drumming
up support for Senator Goldwater, Mr.
McNees is playing campus politics with
the name of YAF. This represents im­mature
and irresponsible leadership to
our minds. We feel that Mr. McNees'
actions bode nothing but ill for his
cause.
The Lowered Flag
Some degree of confusion seems to
have arisen over the pennant which
flew at half staff over the week end and
the American flag which flew at half
staff on the campus Monday. The flag
ritual is a tribute by Auburn University
to Milton King, an assistant physics in­structor,
who died Jan. 14 in a Mont­gomery
hospital.
It is our understanding that this is
an old Auburn custom which has not
been practiced over the past few years.
We are pleased at seeing the custom
revived.
Educators, like statesmen and mili­tary
personnel, devote their lives to a
cause which is materially unrewarding.
To our way of thinking, their cause is
the noblest of them all. Their task is to
extract and develop the best which our
most precious gift, the human mind,
has to offer.
It seems only fitting that their pass­ing
away should be visibly revered by
the institution which received the bene­fit
of their services.
A Military Problem
It is the supposed purpose of the
Pentagon to continue the draft of 100,-
000 able-bodied American males each
year for the express purpose "of intimi­dating
half a million others into enlist­ing."
The folk singers have said it: "Oh,
when will they ever learn."
This is a generation of military-age
citizens which refuses to accept the au­thoritarian
and regimented system yet
espoused by old-line military officers.
It is a generation whose closest contact
with national tragedy and disaster has
been limited to the assassination of a
president. All the stories of Korea and
World War II will arouse little more
than historical pride from within the
bosoms of today's military prospects.
An army of volunteers is the only
answer to the military's peace time
needs. To acquire this force, the mili­tary
establishment must begin to pay
nioi'ti attention to the needs, desires,
and specialized abilities of the indi­vidual.
Puritanical eulogies about the
needs of the service must be discard­ed
in this day and time. This is a war
time concept which is meaningless to
a society which has known nothing but
peace. The military must prepare it­self
to compete with civilian enterprises
for the services of America's talented
youth. Opportunity and choice must be
available to the potential military man.
The civilian "whiz kids" of the Defense
Department, who the brass despise so
much, are making progress in this di­rection.
Compulsion and intimidation are fast
becoming dying words in the military
vocabulary. Barring a conflict of ma­jor
proportions, such things as the draft
and compulsory ROTC will soon be a
thing of the past. As our generation
learns to adjust to some aspects of mil­itary
life, the brass also must learn to
adjust to us.
Perhaps the greatest para­dox
in modern American life
is the fact that within o ur
great ocean of wealth, pros­perity,
and increased feeling
of human compassion, there is
an island of poverty on which
more than 36 million citizens
live. So vast is our sea of af­fluence
that the island has be­come
invisible to many of us.
. It lies beyond the horizon of
our own patriotic pride in
"America, the free and won­derful,"
"the land of oppor­tunity"
that we see daily in
our own sector of society.
From paneled offices, air con­ditioned
cars, and suburban
homes, some of us wonder, as
columnist David Lawrence has
done, just "what persons can
be accurately described as
poverty-stricken," and defy
others to explain poverty "ex­plicitly."
Poverty is eight million aged
persons whose life science has
lengthened, but taken away
their jobs, t h u s rendering
them unproductive for the rest
of their lives.
Poverty is miners in t he
Appalachians who have been
laid off work by the thousands
in areas affording no other
means of making a living.
Poverty is 500,000 American
Indians, many of whom are
living in m u d huts on the
verge of starvation, caught in
the vacuum between their an­cient
way of life with nature,
and today's mechanized, high­ly
developed society.
Poverty is countless Negro
families of eight, 10, or 12 per­sons
which live off 25 acres of
mortgaged farm land, and each
year face the prospect of going
deeper into debt.
Poverty is swarms of people
driven from jobless rural areas
into the cities where unskilled
jobs are getting fewer.
Poverty breeds crime, city
slums, ill health, a n d more
poverty.
Is there some kind of beauty
in all this? Do we see an image
of the "rugged individualist"
struggling t h r o u g h poverty
and underprivilege, f i n a l ly
emerging a better man for the
experience? Do we crave some
kind of identity for ourselves
through comparison with those
below us? Can anyone agree
with Senator Goldwater when
he says, "The fact is that most
people who have no skill have
no education for the same rea­son—
low intelligence or lack
of ambition;" that the plight of
this group is due to "its own
attitude?"
Should we ignore poverty?
Economist Vivian Henderson
has stated, "The cure of the
sick cannot come entirely from
the sick themselves." Poverty
is like cancer: left unchecked
it will only get worse. What a
threat of stagnation the grow­ing
unemployed group holds
for the United States. What an
overture to further infection
of impoverished areas; what
an invitation to widespread
social discontent — even com­munist
inroads— if this prob­lem
is left to solve itself. Will
destitute, uneducated people,
of their own volition, set about
building their own public lib­raries
and tearing down whole
slums with their bare hands?
Much work and learning is
needed. But even education
cannot provide more jobs un­less
the economy moves at a
rate faster than it is at the
present. What is required is a
concerted national effort, from
the community all the way to
Washington—an unconditional
"war on poverty," as declared
by President Johnson last
week, one which "the richest
nation on earth can afford to
win . . . ," but "cannot afford
to lose. . . ."
Have we reached the point
in our society at which we are
willing to say that we have
36 million bums in this coun­try?
The free world, the na­tion,
and (most of all) those
36 million people, are not
ready for such an indictment.
Auburn U n i v e r s i t y has
proved to the world the pos­sibilities
of the democratic sys­tem:
Harold Franklin has
peacefully broken t h e color
barrier and opened the way
to greater progress in educa­tion
for all of us. Now, at long
last, maybe we can concen­trate
on a few other problems
inherent in the democratic way
of life. And, to be sure, there
are some. One in particular is
of keen interest to me today.
1964 is a year of local, state
and national elections. The
Young Democrats club has
been trying to get us voters
to pay our poll tax by Feb.
1, so that we can vote in forth­coming
elections. I heartily en­dorse
their publicity cam­paign.
I urge all Auburn stu­dents
who are 21 and over to
register and pay that tax (af­ter
ratification of the 24th
amendment we shan't have to
pay it again!) in order to ful­fill
one of t h e criteria for
voting. I say one criteria be­cause
I believe that no per­son
should vote—even though
he be qualified by law—unless
he has read and observed, stu­died
and applied t h e issues
which every political cam­paign
effects. Nationally, some
50 per cent of the electorate
votes. On the Auburn campus,
about 35 to 40 per cent of the
student body votes. However, I
dare say that less than half
of these people really know—
I mean really know—what the
campaign issues and their im­plications
are.
For years we have been pre­occupied
with the fanatic be­lief
that all of the electorate
should vote, that a 100 per cent
turnout at every election
would insure t h e success of
"democracy." The time has
come for us to examine this
contention. Our system of
government —• both in Wash­ington
and in Auburn student
g o v e r n m e n t — is in much
greater danger from dilution
by politicians elected by an
ignorant and uninformed elec­torate
than it is from the mere
fact that "only" 50 per cent of
the people bother to vote at all.
That all the people should
vote is no good thing in itself,
unless all the people be in­formed
and intelligently able
to vote. I had much prefer that
10 per cent of our student
body vote well for local can­didates
than that 90 per cent
of them vote.
As we approach student
body elections—and the presi­dential
election nationally — I
urge you to get involved. Take
an intelligent interest. Be crit­ical
of what is said. Cease la­beling
men with meaningless
nomenclature. Read. Study.
Make application at the polls
of the things which the cam­paigns
brought to light. I urge
you not to vote unless you can
rationally discern why one
candidate is better than an­other.
Goethe, the great German
poet and philosopher, admon­ished
that "There is nothing
more fearful than ignorance
in action." The actions of in­formed
democrats need not
cause fear in t h e hearts of
those who love liberty.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Boettcher's Canal
Proposals Criticized
Editor, The Plainsman:
Mr. Boettcher's recent re­commendations
concerning the
control of the Panama Canal
are most interesting when com­pared
with the hard facts of
Latin American politics. Typical
examples are the Dominican
Republic, where democratic
government lasted only a few
months; Venezuella, which just
had its first legal presidential
succession (the army supported
the, dominant party); Mexico,
which can elect presidents from
only one party; Argentina,
where democracy exists only as
long as it conforms to the
whims of a military junta; Bra­zil,
where national representa­tives
debate with pistols in the
capitol building; and finally,
Panama itself, which exists only
because the United States pro­vided
gunboat support for the
local garrison, which had not
been paid for several months,
and decided to depend on the
"Republic of Panama," a la
Bunau-Varilla, for their money,
rather than on Colombia. Ap­parently
they are still looking
for the best "deal," regardless
of law, treaties, and moral re­sponsibility.
This is the group Mr. Boet­tcher
would give control of
America's "life line."
Alternately, his internationa­lization
suggestion, i. e. open
to any nation any time, like­wise
is quite interesting. The
concept of-Nazi submarine ten­ders
being aided through the
canal by our marines, in order
to supply German raiders with,
torpedoes to sink American
ships, and kill American sea­men,
such as could have hap­pened
during the Second World
War under this suggestion, is
so ludicrous as to warrant no
further comment. I would re­commend
that Mr. Boettcher
take History 628 or refer to
Bailey's Diplomatic History of
the American People before he
so readily condemns his coun­try.
It may be that the "good ole
USA" should not look to her
own welfare, but instead to the
"world" for her protection.
However, as a soldier during
the Korean war, I observed that
it was not UN resolutions that
halted agression, but rather the
American GI with his Ml rifle.
It was a lesson not readily for-
Give The Cubans Enough Rope
And They Will Hang Themselves
By Marry Hooper
Fidel Castro, the vocal prime
minister of Cuba, has announ­ced
a "new revolution" in
which he will end the econo­mic
chaos that has his small
country on the verge of star­vation.
The plan is simple enough.
He w i l l shift the economy
from its agricultural basis to
one based on industry. He will
build his h e a v y industry
around agriculture and his
light industry will be concern­ed
with satisfying the needs
of the people. He will make
his country a shining light of
communism in the west.
This" simple plan, however
takes on ominous aspects when
the results of the plans of the
past five years of his regime
are considered. In a word the
past has been a complete bust.
This year with the help of
a hurricane the Castro gang
managed to produce the lowest
sugar crop in 20 years. Statis­tics
on other agricultural com­modities
and on what industry
the regime has proves that
the iron hand of Batista at
least produced a better stand­ard
of living than black beard-gotten.
Paul R. Mattox
Department of Speech
There have been several in­quiries
during the past week
about the meaning of the
fourth paragraph in a column
on Panama by Bobby Boettch­er
in last week's paper. There
was a typographical omission
in the paragraph which may
have served to confuse some
readers. The paragraph should
have read as follows:
"Will the United States,
which opposed old friends
Britain and France in support­ing
Egypt's" 1956 nationaliza­tion
of the Suez Canal, now
try to perpetuate its control
and 'interest' in Panama by
quoting old treaties which it
forced upon the Republic of
Panama? If so, we shall find
ourselves groping for defense
against charges of internation­al
double-dealing, and we
shall find ourselves more sus­ceptible
to charges against our
racial double standard here at
home, for which we know
there is no defense."
Mr. Boettcher is obviously
attempting to contrast two
theories of our foreign policy,
"the good neighbor" and "equ­ality
for all," with actual U.S.
practices in relation to these
principles.—Ed.
ed Castro.
The military might of Cuba
is unquestionable. With Rus­sian
war apparati and Russian
troops they are indeed a bas­tion
of communism. The Cuban
people will realize soon enough
that tanks are no substitute
for potatoes, and rocket laun-
.chers will not flatten a starv­ing
child's bloated stomach.
Castro has turned to Russia
for a solution of the economic
problem. In line with his "new
revolution" he asked Russia for
3,500 cane loaders to be built
in Russia and an additional
500 to be built in Cuba. So far
Russia has only been able to
supply o n l y 1,500. Russia
promised 'them three sugar
mills. Only one has been built.
This represents only an ex­ample.
How many requests the
prime minister has made of
the USSR and how many have
been deferred or refused is a
moot question. The fact is evi­dent
that Russia is unable or
unwilling to supply the needed
goods for Castro's "new revo­lution."
Recognizing this fact,
Castro is beginning an effort
to "normalize relations" with
the United States.
Many persons are ready to
lake up the cause of normali­zation.
They say there are
many starving mouths in Cuba
and there is disease and there
is misery. And they are right.
Why shouldn't we help Cas­tro?
Why shouldn't we give
them industry, food, and med­icine?
Possibly the "new rev­olution"
would spring forth in
glory and the U.S. would get
praise and adoration and loy­alty
from Castro and the Cu­ban
people.
This is the line in foreign
policy known as liberalism. It
is known as innocence by some
people. And everybody in the
nation would be happy if it
would work.
But it won't. It is a sad and
a cruel situation. No one in
the nation likes to think of our
neighbors to the south starv­ing
to death. Fate is often
cruel and unrelenting and so
it is with the poor peasants in
Cuba. It is the price they have
to pay so that some day the
world might be free of the
scourge of communism.
The United States cannot let
the "new revolution" happen.
We cannot have Cuba stand­ing
out as a communist success
in the Western hemisphere. It
must fail if our hemisphere is
to remain free and it will fail
if we leave them be.

| By HARRY WILKINSON §
A lull in the 'cold war' is
time for a curtain call by Pres.
Charles DeGaulle of France.
There has been a lot of talk
recently about a closer rela­tionship
developing between
France a nd
Communist
China. There
have b e en
trade m i s ­s
i o n s and
complimen-t
a r y r e ­m
a r k s by
both g o v ­e
r n m e n t s
which have
more or less
dignified the
rumors. Monday evening news
bulletins indicated that De-
Gaulle was indeed proceeding
toward a course of diplomatic
recognition for Red China.
The international implica­tions
of such action are pro­found.
Many Westerners feel
that such recognition by De-
Gaulle will be the key to Com­munist
China's admission to
the United Nations next fall.
The immediate reaction of the
U.S. State Department to De-
Gaulle's unprecedented move
is one of "Why would he do
it?" This answer should not
be totally incomprehensible to
students of the Gaullist mind.
This is another of those
grand opportunities for Mon­sieur
Charles to put the good
old U.S.A. on the spot. De-
Gaulle has jumped at the
chance. The question is not
purely a Chinese-French one.
It's a long standing argument
ovej free world policy toward
the Communist world.
France has for some time
supported John Foster Dulles'
theory of "brinkmanship" as
the most effective deterrent
against nuclear attack. This
concept is essentially a threat
of full scale nuclear retaliation
against any Communist en­croachment
on free world ter­ritory.
It also provides for the
military integrity of each sov­ereign
nation-state in t he
cause of national or interna­tional
defense. In other words,
France would possess the abil­ity
to launch such an offensive
at her o w n discretion. She
would not be dependent upon
the United States for either
the decision or t h e military
capacity to act.
DeGaulle literally despises •
the current United States de­fensive
policy of "partial de-terrency"
as advocated by Sec.
of Defense Robert McNamara.
This is strategically a policy
of meeting "fire with fire."
Simply stated, if the Commun­ists
unleash guerilla forces on
South Viet Nam, you retaliate
with guerilla forces. If the
Communists drop n u c l e a r'
bombs on Paris and Washing­ton,
you retaliate with nuclear
bombs on Moscow and Vladi­vostok.
It takes vast amounts
of resources and international
interdependency to conduct
such a program. DeGaulle has
not the resources. He desires
not the interdependency.
President DeGaulle refuses
to realize that the autonomy
and supremacy of the sover­eign
nation-state (at least in
the military sense) are con­cepts
which belong to the
nineteenth century. He de­mands
the right to go it alone.
France once again must be a
great, independent power. This
is the story of DeGaulle's re­fusal
to admit Great Britain to
the European Common Mar­ket.
This same nationalism is
the story of Charles De-
Gaulle's strict adherence to a
passionate drive which desires
a nuclear arsenal for France.
It is not surprising to see
DeGaulle going it alone once
more. He can see no additional
threat arising from diplomatic
recognition of Red China.
French capacities and weak­nesses
are his sole bases for
decisions. As a matter of fact,
recognition of Red China is a
thing to be expected from
President DeGaulle. Now he
can see himself, the erstwhile
leader of mighty France, lay­ing
the foundation for a world
solution to the problem of
"two Chinas."
The world of DeGaulle is a
world of chivalric fantasy and
antiquated ideas. But on this
occasion, a "two China" policy
might not be such a bitter pill
for the State Department to
swallow. Realism and arro­gance
are strange companions
in a world where wonders
never seem to cease.

LYNN
During the last couple of days, since the Tigers lost
their hardwood decision to Alabama by an 86-72 count, we have
heard several individuals grumbling about the Auburn cagers.
These gripes have been aimed primarily at several members of
the team; others have been aimed at Coach Bill Lynn.
Now we don't pretend to be any sort of an authority on
the roundball sport (or anything else, as far as that goes), but
we decided to investigate the matter somewhat. Being informed
on such matters is—at least we like to think so—part of our job.
First, a few facts. The Auburn Tigers now own a not-too-irr.
pressive record Of five wins and seven losses. What's more,
they have lost three conference games in a row (all on the
road, of course). Now, it has been a long time since Auburn
cagers have lost three consecutive contests. And it's true that
they are headed for their "worst" record, as determined by a
won-loss mark, since 1956. (That year Auburn was 11-10 over­all).
Accepting the above facts, let's complete the picture before
we draw any conclusions. Here they are . . . for the benefit of
the uninformed (and it's the uninformed that usually do most of
the "Monday morning quarterbacking"). Coach Joel Eaves, head
Tiger basketball mentor since 1949, resigned his post just two
weeks before this getting-longer-all-the-time season began to
accept the position of athletic director at the University of
Georgia. Bill Lynn, who has been Eaves' able assistant with the
varsity since 1959, immediately took the reins and rededicated
himself to coaching the young Tigers. Now, to begin with, Lynn
was just about as surprised as we were to learn only two weeks
before the first game that he was to handle the basketball squad
by himself this year.
Wishing to learn more about the hardwood situation, we
conferred with the men who know—Coach Bill Lynn and
the freshman basketball coach, Rudy Devalos.
Looking into the immediate fu­ture,
let's examine the varsity first.
We questioned Coach Lynn. "We have
had trouble with our bench strength
this year," he began. "When one of
our starters gets in foul trouble, we
just haven't had boys with a great
deal of experience to substitute for
them. Also we have had injuries that
hurt us." To be sure, Lynn wasn't
stretching things when indicated that
experienced players are in demand
this season. Only three of the top eight
(performers returned from the 1963
squad, which posted a''s'p'arkiing 18-4 slate.
Actually, the fact that this year must be labled "rebuilding"
was certainly "blowing in the wind" before Lynn ever took
over as head coach. It is no secret that the frosh team, under
the direction of Rudy Devalos, beat the varsity after scrimmag­ing
them only twice last fall. This sort of situation just does
not develop in college basketball. "Rudy," Coach Eaves (who
was then still here) said to Devalos, "It's going to be a long
year. That is the first time the frosh have beaten the varsity
since I've been here." And Eaves stayed on the Plains for 14
years.
"Playing so many games on the road early in the season
hasn't helped things," Coach Lynn continued. "We will have to
play better than we did against Alabama to beat Georgia."
Fere we must hasten to add that Alabama used a zone de­fense
last Saturday night . . . that is why the Tigers didn't run
their shuffle patterns (for the benefit of the uninformed, a-gain).
Also, the Crimson Tide had one of their hottest shooting
nights (hitting 58% of their field goal attempts) in the humble
history of their humble institution.
"We will beat some people that we aren't supposed to beat
. . . I can promise you that," said Lynn. "On several occasions
we have played as good as anybody in this league (the SEC).
We will get tougher as the season goes along." We continued to
question, this time concerning next year. "Well, we are re­building
this year," Coach Lynn stated. "This is our first
year with the big boys. We don't coach exactly the same as
Coach Eaves. We are going to play a faster and a lot tougher
game in the future. When recruiting, we'll get the boys who can
play this type ball and bring them up our own way."
Lynn continued, as we scribbled notes rapidly. "Of course,
we will still run a lot of patterns from the shuffle. But the
boys will have a lot more freedom to shoot. Our defense will be
tough, too . . . real tough." All of this made us feel better. This
man Lynn has confidence—in himself, in his boys, and in his
able assistant, Rudy Devalos. And confidence wins ball games.
But we have to include the present freshmen, who were
recruited mainly by Coach Lynn while Joel Eaves was recover­ing
from a heart attack last December, to make the rosy pic­ture
of Auburn basketball complete. Rudy Devalos, only three
years removed from a college team himself, was sent to us from
Kentucky like a star from heaven. Did we say sent? Wrong:
The credit again is due to Lynn—for he is the person who stole
Devalos from the staff of Adolph Rupp, the baron of the Blue-grass
land. Anyhow, he has led his frosh charges to four wins
(by huge margins) against only one defeat. Chances are, if
"I think that Coach Lynn is doing a real fine job," Devalos
told us. "I am behind him 100 per cent. Things will be looking
up here next year—I guarantee you that. These freshmen are
hustlers, and some of them are going to be starting for Auburn
next year. I enjoy working with Coach Lynn, and I like Au­burn.
We are going to have some winning basketball teams
here—believe me."
So, with gentlemen like Bill Lynn and Rudy Devalos
handling the chores, who is worried about Auburn basketball?
Not us! We offer our meager (but sincere) vote of absolute
cunfidence to the Auburn basketball Tigers—can't you do
the same?
Tigers Host Seminoles
In Basketball Rematch
By GERALD RUTBERG
Auburn's road-weary cagers return home next Tues­day
evening to face the Florida State Seminoles in the
Sports Arena at 7:30 p.m. after an extended travel
schedule which saw the Tigers play on courts in six
states over the course of a month.
On Saturday evening of this
week the Plainsmen will face
the Georgia Bulldogs in Ath­ens
to complete their lengthy
basketball journey. Florida
State defeated the Bulldogs
last Saturday evening while
Auburn was bowing to red-hot
Alabama.
Saturday's game will mark
the first meeting of the season
between the Bulldogs and the
Tigers, while the Florida State
fray will be Auburn's first re­match
of the season. The Sem­inoles
edged Auburn, 69-67, in
their first meeting at Talla­hassee
earlier in the season.
The Bulldogs are led by
guard Billy Rado, a junior let-terman,
and Jimmy Pitts, a
junior letterman w h o plays
both forward and guard. Rado
led SEC sophomores in scoring
last season with a 19.0 aver­age.
Another Georgia standout is
senior forward' and captain
Charles Bagby, whose out­standing
rebounding and de­fensive
work has won for him
a starting berth on the Bulldog
five.
Georgia dropped two games
to Auburn last season by
scores of 78-62 and 70-67 re­spectively.
The second meeting
between the two squads was
settled in overtime.
Improving Florida State has
compiled a 7-7 record. How­ever,
the Seminoles have lost
seven of nine games in enemy
gyms while managing to go
undefeated at home. Following
their game with Auburn, the
Seminoles travel to Barran-quilla,
Colombia, to participate
in a tournament against three
local teams on a mission in­tended
to enhance interna­tional
relations.
Gary Schull, a 6'7" sopho­more
.forward has been the
biggest surprise for FSU, hav­ing
emerged as high scorer
BILLY RADO, Georgia's
junior guard, has been lead­ing
the Bulldogs in scoring
this year with a 19 point per
game average. Tiger fans
who journey to Athens Sat­urday
night will see Rado in
action when Auburn meets
Georgia on the hardwood.
in a number of Seminole out­ings.
A n o t h e r sophomore,
guard Bill Peacock, has per­formed
outstandingly for the
Tallahasseans. Feacock was
high scorer for the. Seminoles
in their victory over Georgia
last Saturday.
Florida State is coached by
J. K. "Bud" Kennedy, while
Georgia's basketball coach is
"Red" Lawson.
With the season nearing the
halfway point, Auburn is still
searching for a consistent
quintet while also trying to
cope with a serious lack of
depth. Now 6-7 for the season,
TIM PEARSON, a junior
majoring in physical educa­tion,
is one of the top defen­sive
players on the Tiger
squad. He stands 6'1" and
weighs 180 pounds. His senior
year Pearson led Tuscaloosa
to a 34-0 slate and the state
championship.
BABY TIGERS MEET COLUMBUS
IN CRUCIAL HOOP ENCOUNTER
By TED HILEY
The Auburn freshman bas­ketball
squad travels to Colum­bus,
Ga., tonight in search of
their fifth win of the season
as they take on the Columbus
Junior College Rebels at 8 p.m.
EST.
According to frosh Coach
Davalos, "this will be our big
game of the season. If the boys
don't get overconfident they
should be able to win the re­maining
games, but) of course
this depends on them."
When facing the Rebels, the
Baby Tigers will be up against
a team with a 10-2 record for
the season. Columbus College
lead the Georgia Junior Col­lege
Conference " with* a'6»1
conference record and will be
the Auburn squad's toughest
game to date.
On Jan. 27, the Baby Tigers
return home and face Southern
Union College Of Wadley, Ala.
In Alabama junior college ac­tion
this season, the Southern
Union squad has turned in a
6-8 record. Craig Helms and
Rich DeHeart are the leading
scorers for the team with Helms
among the leading scorers in
the state junior college loop.
Under the direction of Coach
Davalos, the Auburn freshmen
have compiled a 4-1 record
with wins over the Georgia
Tech frosh, Alabama Chris­tian,
and Snead Sollege with
their lone defeat at the hands
of Pensacola Junior College. As
a team, the freshmen are hit­ting
at a 53 per cent rate from
the field and are averaging 78
points per game while holding
opponents to 56 per outing.
Through their first five
games, the frosh have been
paced in scoring by Jimmy
Montgomery with a 23.6 aver­age.
Joe Millsap is second in
scoring with an 11.6 average,
followed by Randy Thomas and

Freshman Wrestlers Open Campaign
Against Birmingham YMCA Squad
By HAL FRANKLIN LEE
Among events coming up
this week-end will be the open­ing
of the wrestling season for
the Auburn Tiger freshman
wrestling squad. The team,
composed o f approximately
twelve members, will meet the
YMCA of Birmingham in the
Sports Arena at 4 p.m. Satur­day
afternoon.
When contacted, Coach Urn-bach
stated that he thought the
freshman team should have a
very successful season. Many
of the wrestlers have the ex­perience
as well as the drive
and incentive necessary for
wrestling. According to Um-bach,
the varsity wrestling
team will be greatly strength­ened
by the addition of these
men to the team next fall.
The freshman squad, which
boasts at least one person in
every weight class—except the
191 pound division—is made up
of four past Alabama high
school state champions. Along
with these four, three others
placed in State finals and one
was the Mid-South Champion.
In the 123 p o u n d class,
Ron Stripling of Atlanta, Ga.,
and John Hooten of City High
in Chattanooga, Tenn., will be
battling it out to see which one
gets to wrestle against Birm­ingham.
Stripling was one of
those placing in state high
school finals. He came out se­cond
for Bryor Cliff High of
Atlanta.
The 137 pound class is com­posed
of two former State
champs from Alabama. Ron
Garrett of Talladega was the
123 pound class champion.
Rick Umbach, Mid-South
Champion from Baylor Prep
School and son of Auburn
Wrestling Coach Arnold Um­bach,
along with Robert Bry-son
of Rome, Ga., and Craig
Wilson of Mobile's Murphy
High, make up the 147 pound
class.
In the 157 pound division is
former Alabama State Cham­pion,
Tony Wendling of Ben­ton
Russell High in Alexander
City. Marty Zipkin of New
Hyde Park, N. Y., rounds out
the 157 pound class.
Randall Lake, Central High
of Phenix City, a n d second
place winner in the state two
years ago, is the only wrestler
in the 167 pound division.
177 pounder, Jimmy Spann,
also of Benton Russell High
in Alex City placed second in
state competition last year. He
was defeated by the state
champion of Alabama, Bob
Atcheson.
Atcheson, who has progress­ed
up the weight scale to the
heavyweight division, comes
from West End High in Birm­ingham.
He is the only member
of the heavyweight class for the
Freshman Wrestling Team.
With an optimistic view, the
Tiger frosh wrestling- team a-waits
the day when they can
prove to themselves as well as
to everybody else that Auburn
does have a great future in
wrestling.

Red-Hot Alabama
Eases By Tigers
In Cage Contest
By TED HILEY
The Auburn Tigers went
down to their seventh defeat
of the season as a red-hot Uni­versity
of Alabama team trim­med
them by a score of 86-72
in a game played in Montgom­ery
last Saturday night. This
was the Tide's first win over
Auburn since 1961 and only
their second victory in their
last fourteen attempts.
The scoring opened up early
as both teams found the range
with regularity. James Booth
and Bob Andrews led the early
Bama scoring and Chapman
and Blackwell paced the Tig­ers
as the team waged, an
early battle for the lead.
With six minutes gone in the
game, the Tide's second lead­ing
scorer, Booth, was injured

mainder of the game after con­tributing
six points.
The loss of Booth only tem­porarily
hindered Bama, how­ever,
as they opened up a 21-
14 lead behind the shooting of
Andrews and Charles Perry.
With goals by Newton and
Chapman, the Tigers cut the
lead to six points after the
Tide had opened up a ten point
margin late in the half.
Alabama shooters remained
hot and continued to pop away
from 20 to 30 feet out as the
Tigers vainly tried to reduce
the Bama lead, but the Tide
took a 47-39 advantage in at
the half. Joe Newton was the
leading scorer for the Tigers
with 15 points in the half and
Andrews led the Bama attack
with- 13.
The second half was virtuar-.
ly a duplicate of the first as the
Tide continued to blaze away,
hitting almost every shot. At
one point Auburn staged a brief
rally and cut the Bama lead
to seven points, but the Tide
quickly ran their advantage up
to 15 behind the shooting of
Ken Moses and Berry. The Ti­gers
remained from ten to 15
points behind the entire second
half and were unable to close
the gap.
Auburn's top scorer, Lee De-
Fore was held to five points for
the contest as Freddy Guy car­ried
the burden of the Tiger
scoring in the second period and
finished with 17 points.
Joe Newton fouled out mid­way
in the final half but toss­ed
in fifteen points. John
Blackwell added 16 points and
Tommy Fibbe scored ten points
as he continues to fight for a
starting position. Guy led in re­bounds
with 13.
Bob Andrews was the leading
scorer for the Tide with 23
points as the Bama squad ex­hibited
a balanced attack with
five players hitting double fi­gures.
Alabama hit a blazing
58.2 per cent from the field
while Auburn hit 39.7 per cent
of their shots.
Alabama now has a 9-6 sea­son
record and Auburn's re­cord
stands at 5-7 for the year.
AGR, SAE, And KA Maintain Perfect Records
In Fraternity Basketball League Competition
By BILL POWELL
AGR, SAE and KA remain undefeated in three games
as intramaural action enters its third week of play.
Fraternity basketball was filled with action last
week as games varied from an offensive battle in which
PKT ripped TKE 67 to 34 to defensive games like those
where ATO edged by SN 45
to 43 and LCA slipped past SP
32 to 31.
League 1
SAE defeated KS 56 to 30 in
the only game played in this
league as Robert Sasser, with
13 points, and Ben Easterling,
with 12 points led the SAE's in
scoring.
PDT, with two wins in as
many games, remains close to
the pace-setting SAEs in the
race for the league title.
League 2
ATO overcame a four point
deficit at half time and squeez­ed
by SN 45 to 43. Whatley,
ATO, and McKennre, SN, led
their teams in scoring with 14
points each. PKT, led by Tom
Mitchell and John Treadwell
with 23 and 22 points, respec­tively,
smothered TKE 67 to
34.
In their other game, PKT
was defeated by DU by a seore
of 42 to 32. Although PKT
lead at halftime, they couldn't
hold back the hot DU team as
Covart of DU hit most of his
20 points in the last half to
be high scorer of the game.
Again Treadwell and Mitchell
were top for PKT.
League 3
AGR extended Its winning
streak to three games as it de­feated
TX and SP in games
last week. AGR, led by Dan
Nichols and Bobby Shackle-ford,
were victorious over TX
by a score of 53 to 36. Bill
Bethel, with 20 points was
high man for the losers.
AGR, after having trouble in
the first half, came on to post
a decisive win over, SP 56 to
28.
KA, with two wins last week,
tied AGR for the top spot in
league play. KA whipped DU
40 to .15 for their first victory
and stopped the rugged TX
team by defeating them 40 to
30. Reggie Gilbert and Jimmy

THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES
SALUTE: BURL RAINWATER
When Burl Rainwater (B.A., 1958) reported to Southern
Bell in 1961, he coordinated the Bell System Census Project
in Tennessee. Working out his own guidelines for collect­ing
data, Burl analyzed his results to forecast household
growth during the Sixties for each telephone exchange
in Tennessee.
Success on this assignment earned him a new one where
he also had to pioneer. When told to study the possible
application of teaching machines to telephone training, he
and another employee programmed an entire basic elec­tricity
course to show what the new devices could do.
The textbook the two men developed for the machines was
later copyrighted and published.
With such achievements behind him, Burl is now carry­ing
out other interesting assignments in the Knoxville Com­mercial
Office.
Burl Rainwater, like many young men, 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.
