Dignity, Pomp, And Circumstance To Mark
Today's Inauguration Of Harry M. Philpott
Energy, Personality, Experience:
Eleventh President's Attributes
By PAM PEARTREE
Speaking to more than 122 different groups through­out
Alabama sance his arrival 254 days ago illustrates
the interest and dedication of Harry Melvin Philpott,
Auburn's 11th president. Dr. Philpott, who will be of­ficially
installed Friday, comes to the University with
an outstanding background of service to the field of
education.
A native of Bassett, Va., Dr.
Philpott was reared in Lexing­ton,
N.C. He was educated in
the public schools of Lexing­ton
and was graduated cum
laude from Washington and
l e e University in 1938 with a
bachelor of arts degree. He
h?!d a scholarship for the four
years he was there and was
awarded the Algernon Sydney
Sullivan Medal in 1938.
Dr. Philpott was winner of
the Tew Prize in 1941 for out­standing
work in ethics and
was designated a Yale Uni­versity
Scholar in 1941-43. He
was holder of the Walter C.
Teagle Fellowship in 1946-47
and received the doctor of phil­osophy
degree from Yale in
1947. Hs major was religion in
higher education with extensive
work in philosophy and psy­chology.
ORDAINED NAVAL
CHAPLAIN
Although Dr. Philpott is an
ordained Baptist minister, he
has never held a .pastorate.
During World War II he was
ordained a Naval chaplain.
As a lieutenant in the Navy's
Chaplain Corps, Dr. Philpott
was a t t a c h e d to the U.S.S.
Tusccn and saw action with the
Third and Fifth fleets in Paci­fic
operations. He was present
at the surrender and occupa­tion
of Japan.
Most of his experience has
been in religious education. For
the first two years after he
was graduated from Washing­ton
and Lee, he served as di­rector
of religious activities
there. From Washington and
Lee, he went to the University
of Florida.
His first position at Florida
came in 1947 when he was an
assistant and associate pro­fessor
of religion. While there
he organized their Religion and
Life program which received a
Freedom Foundation Award.
This program brings outstand­ing
authorities to the campus
annually to speak and counsel
with students, faculty and the
citizens of Gainesville.
DEAN AT STEPHENS
In 1952 he became the dean
of religious life and head of
the department of religion and
philosophy at Stephens College
in Columbia, Mo. There he was
responsible for the college cul­tural
events and lectures, or­ientation
and college counsel­ing,
and foreign student schol­arships.
At Stephens Dr. Philpott was
also a member of the presi­dent's
four-man administration
committee. He had the respon­sibility
for developing a closed-e'reuit
television made avail­able
to them by a grant from
the Ford Foundation.
Stetson University later a-warded
him an honorary doctor
of divinity degree.
In 1956 Dr. Philpott accom­panied
a group of American
clergymen and educators on a
tour of Europe. They studied
conditions in Europe and met
with various European leaders.
He spent' time in Great Brir
Tain," France, Russia, East and"
West Germany, Yugoslavia, and
Finland.
VICE PRESIDENT OF
FLORIDA
His appointment to the vice-presidency
of the University of
Florida came in 1957. He served
in this capacity for seven and
a half years.
The Board of Education of
the State of Florida passed a
resolution last year that com­mended
him publicly for his
outstanding . contributions to
the University, to the state of
Florida, and to higher educa­tion.
The resolution expressed
"deepest appreciation for his
unrelenting service and dedi­cation
to insure that the pur­suit
of excellence would be the
hallmark of the University of
Florida."
While serving as the vice-president
at the University of
• Florida, Dr. Philpott was active
in the city of Gainesville it­self.
He was chairman of the
Baptist Education Commission
at the First Baptist Church, and

Dr. Harry M. Philpott: Spotlighted Man Of The Hour
The Honoree Comments
First Eight Months In Retrospect
By GERALD RUTBERG
AND BY THE WAY . . .
Her name is Jeanne and she's pretty. Jeanne is a blond-haired
junior. And by the way, her last name is Philpott
and she's the eldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Harry M.
Philpott which from today on makes her the First Daughter
of the University. She's a student at Auburn High and
calls the President's Mansion her home.
If the pace and progress of Dr. Harry M. Phil-pott's
future tenure at Auburn are as rapid as his
first eight and a half months as President have
been, Auburn University will record the greatest
era in its history.
To be honored at his inauguration today, Dr. Philpott
reached his 49th birthday last Saturday, but Auburn's
eleventh President had little time to celebrate. While
spearheading local affairs with speed and flair, Dr. Phil­pott
has also managed to get acquainted with thousands
of Alabamians through visitations as an oft-invited guest.
In an interview with the Plainsman last Tuesday, Dr.
Philpott reflected on his first months in office, touched on
some vital projects now underway or awaiting a financial
go-ahead, and commented on his hopes for the future.
PEOPLES' CORDIALITY WARMING
"The one thing from the standpoint of satisfaction that
has been most pleasing to me has been the wonderful
response of the people of Alabama and the kindness and
cordiality with which I've been received here, and the
sense that I have .gathered of the high regard in which.
Auburn is held by the people of this state. That is an
indication for support of what we want to do in the future.
This first year has been more one of getting underway,"
Dr. Philpott noted.
The Washington and Lee, and Yale graduate's itinerary
for the next six weeks reads like a travel guide. He'll be
in Mobile, Birmingham and New York while managing
to attend three commencements and a Board of Truestees
meeting along the rigorous way.
REORGANIZATION COMPLETE BY JUNE 6
Having operated without the services of a vice-presi­dent
since coming to Auburn last September, Dr. Philpott
mentioned that this had been a handicap and said that
administrative reorganization of the University would be
complete by June 6 (date of the Auburn Board of Trus­tee's
meeting). A budget for the 1966-67 year to include
provisions for any new executive position(s) will be re­viewed
at the meeting. "When summer quarter opens,
we'll have our organization, I hope, complete," Dr. Philpott
said.
Obviously counting on the special session of the state
legislature, when it is called, to give Auburn a substantial
educational boost in the form of financial aid, Dr. Philpott
emphasized that many projects are contingent upon what
happens in Montgomery. "There are so many things that
we've been working on which we hope will come to frui­tion
this summer—the building program for example, and
the hope that we have of raising faculty salaries," Dr.
Philpott said.
TWENTY NEW FACULTY PLANNED
It was noted by Dr. Philpott that about 20 hew faculty
positions are being created for next year. "We are plan­ning,
within the resources at hand, to have about 20 more
faculty positions next year than we had this last year.
When the legislative session is held and we get some
more money, why we may be able to up that figure, though
it would be difficult to recruit in the summer," he said.
The School of Science and Literature, where the student-faculty
ratio is highest, is to get the greatest number of
new positions, but each school will have at least one
new position available, he added.
Lying in Dr. Philpott's desk drawer is a petition with
1,500 signatur.es requesting the establishment of a De­partment
of Religion at Auburn. As an ordained Baptist
minister, advocating full support for the proposal, Dr.
Philpott said, "If our hopes are realized in this special
session, I think that we can earmark money for the
support of this department and proceed to recruit a de­partment
chairman next year. It will probably be the
fall of 1967 before we can really get underway with
course offerings."
TWO NEW DEPARTMENTS FORESEEN
In connection with funds for a proposed Department
of Religion, Dr. Philpott again mentioned the possibility
of establishing a geology department on campus. He has
referred to this addition earlier in the year. "I men­tioned
religion and geology as two additional fields that I
felt we needed to cover at Auburn. The third develop­ment
that is tied in with this is the School of Commerce
which we definitely plan to move on and the availability
of funds will enable us to move faster in terms of recruiting
new and additional faculty," he said.
Dr. Philpott acknowledged that one of the drawbacks
of the presidential post unfortunately is the limited amount
of time a president is able to spend with students and
faculty members. "There will never be enough opportunity
to talk with students and faculty. One of the handicaps

of t h e University of
Florida, the University of Ten­nessee,
and the University of
Georgia, the land-grant univer­sities

was officially dedicated yes­terday
afternoon.
Draughons Enjoy
New Leisure Time
Since his retirement as Auburn president, Dr. Ralph
p. Draughon and his wife, Caroline, have actively been
enjoying the simple, pleasant things of life,
j When Dr. Draughon left office, he and his wife moved
to Lake Martin while their recently-purchased home on
Hillcrest Drive was being re­painted
and remodeled. They
spent many hectic days during
the past months going to and
from Auburn to supervise the
remodeling. When this was
completed, the Draughons mov­ed
back here and have been
busy reworking their yard and
adding the finishing touches to
the home interior.
Dr. Draughon has spent many
hours working in the lawn and
garden of their home, planting
much of the shrubbery. His pet
project is his r o s e garden,
which is arrayed with several
varieties of roses. As Dr/
Draughon jokingly said, he has
been "demoted from a college
president to a yardman."
While her husband was in
the garden, Mrs. Draughon was
busy hanging pictures, rear­ranging
furniture, and hanging
curtains.
AVID FISHERMAN
Now that they are settled,
the Draughons, botn avid fish­ermen,
plan to spend much of
their summer fishing and boat­ing
at Lake Martin.
Before returning to the lake,

request the honor of your presence
at the Inauguration of
Harry Melvin Philpott
as President
on Friday, the thirteenth of May
Nineteen hundred and sixty-six
Cliff Hare Stadium
Auburn, Alabama
Polly's Reign Begins
Both shy and animated at the same time, she wears
her tawny hair pulled straight back, emphasizing
eyes that are the same color. Wearing very little
make-up, with wisps of hair escaping, she gives the im­pression
of dignity mixed with quick humor and of
someone tuned to those around
her. With an inborn intelli­gence,
she seems to be in a hur­ry
to get things done.
She is Pauline Moran Phil-pott,
great granddaughter of a
Huntsville woman, new first
lady of Auburn University, and
the mother of four. Her hus­band,
Dr. Harry M. Philpott,
will be installed as president
on May 13.
It is fortunate that Mrs. Phil­pott
gets things done quickly
because the coming inaugura­tion
will be a rushed time for
her and her family. Dr. Phil-pott's
comment concerning his
wife's many activities was,
"she has been occupied with a
lot of things here and has made
some trips with me, but, of
course, she's been taking carr
of the children."
Mrs. Philpott has a bachelor
of divinity degree from Yale,
but her husband baptized her
after their marriage, when she
became a Baptist.
She has a bachelor of sci­ence
degree with a major in
sociology from Cornell. She
has p r e a c h e d sermons in
French, worked as a YWCA and
YMCA director.
Polly Moran was b o r n in
New York. Her father was on
the faculty of Cornell for 26
years. He taught religion and
was director of the Presbyter­ian
Student Group. After at­tending
the Rhodes Scholar re­union
at Oxford, England, with
him, Polly spent a year and a
half abroad, in travels and in
school in Switzerland.
It was at Yale that Polly Mo­ran
met Harry Philpott. They
sat next to each other in a re­ligion
in higher education class.
Her first date with him was
shared with three other girls
in New York City at Easter
when they saw a "scandalous
play."
Polly graduated from Yale
two years before Harry. She
went to Pullham, Wash., leav­ing
her sister Jeanie, to "do my
courting for me." At Washing­ton
State College she was the
YWCA director. When the
United States entered the war,
so did the YMCA director, and
Mrs. Philpott took over his job.
She later became director of
the USO, too.
"People used to wonder which
of the Moran girls Harry was
after," Mrs. Philpott remem­bers,
"but we wrote letters and
saw each other as often as pos­sible."
After Yale, Harry went
to Chaplain's School at William
and Mary College. They were
married in the chapel of the
Riverside Church, New York
City, the day after he graduat­ed,
Sept. 15, 1943.
The couple had a year to­gether
before he shipped out.
Dr. Philpott was assigned to
the Admiral's staff and they
lived in a house by the ocean
in San Francisco.
Mrs. Philpott was asked to
return to her former job, but
..her new husband wanted her
to be with his family "so he
could visualize me:" She took
a teaching position at Winthrop
College in Rock Hill, S. C, but
after six weeks of "nervous in­digestion,"
decided she'd ra­ther
go home to New York and
her mother. Harry did not see
his first born son, Melvin, until
he was eight months old.

Kiwanis Club and the board
of directors of the Citizens
Bank there.
The Gainesville Kiwanis Club
sent a letter of commendation
anil best wishes to Dr. Philpott
soon after he arrived in Au­burn.
Since he has come to Auburn,
Dr. Philpott has devoted much
of his time to studying Ala­bama.
He has accepted num­erous
invitations throughout
the state as a way to learn a-bout
the state.
He is a member of Kappa
Alpha Order, Omicron Delta
Kappa, Phi K a p p a Phi,
Florida Blue Key, Kiwanis In­ternational,
and an honorary
alumnus of the University of
Florida.
THE PHILPOTT FAMILY
Dr. Philpott is married to the
former Pauline Moran of Itha­ca,
N.Y. They met while both
were studying for their docto­rate
at Yale University.
Being graduated from Yale
two years before he was, Mrs.
Philpott went to Washington
State College to be the YWCA
director. She returned to New
York while he was attending
the Chaplain's School at Wil­liam
and Mary College.
They were married in the
chapel of Riverside Church in
New York City the day after
he was graduated, Sept. 15,
1943.
The Philpott's have four
children. Melvin, their eldest
son, is a 21 year old junior at
Yale. Jeanne is 17 years old
and attends Auburn High
School where she is a junior.
Their 14-year-old Cabell, is in
the eighth grade, and 11-year-old
Virginia, better known as
Gingie, is in the sixth grade a?
Wrights Mill Road.
Draughons . . .
(Continued from page 1)
the Draughons will be here foi
official dedication of the li­brary
and the presidential in­auguration.
Dr. Draughon recalled tha'
he was inaugurated as Au­burn's
president on May 12
1948, exactly 18 years before
the dedication of Draughon Li­brary.
As official hostess for Au­burn
University, Mrs. Philpott's
home is open at all times for
special visitors. She participates
in as many campus activities as
possible, acting as advisor tc
the Newcomers Club, Campus
Club (for faculty wives), and
Dames Club—a group of stu­dent
wives. She is also hostess
to many off-campus organi­zations.
With her husband, Mrs. Phil­pott
attends as- many campus
functions as possible. There
are endless conferences a nd
special activities to which they
are invited.
She has been so busy since
their arrival in Auburn, that
"this is the one of the few times
I haven't taught Sunday
School." Her hobby is "doing
things with and for the chil­dren."
She reads a little, grows
orchids and other house plants,
and "has a hard time keeping
the hems adjusted on Gingie's
clothes."
Mrs. Philpott likes hand­craft,
knitting, embroidery and
study groups, but has little
time to engage in these activi­ties.
She does indulge in spec­tator
sports and "likes every­thing
except wrestling."
Capable of making her own
living, Mrs. Philpott believes
there are some jobs which just
can't be easily filled by wo­men,
"simply because of the ac­cepted
relationships of men
and women in our society to­day."
A woman preacher is an ex­ample,
she points out. What
man wants to go to a woman
for counseling or will take his
problems to a female pastor. It
is the same with doctors or oth­er
like professionals.
Every woman who marries
should first of all establish and
maintain a home, says Mrs.
Philpott. If she is a career wo­man,
the "how" is up to her
ingenuity.
"There is a new home-fam­ily-
working mother concept, in
which all the family have a
part. If the home is the focal
point, it can be both satisfying
and rewarding," she said.
Establishing a home for Har­ry
and the four young Phil-potts
is the job she especially
relishes. Melvin, 21, is away at
school, but will be home for
the summer. Jeanne is 17 and
a junior at Auburn High. Ca­bell,
14, is in the eighth grade,
and Virginia, better known as
Gingie, is 11 and in the sixth
Srade at Wrights Mill Road
School.
'THIS IS THE PROPER DOMAIN . . .'
Auburn's first lady and James Smith, chauffeur and
house man for the Philpotts, make plans for the noon meal.
Mrs. Philpott, a woman of many abilities, believes that
women have their proper place "simply because of accepted
relationships between men and women in our society today."
New Hampshire and Vermont
are the only states east of the
Mississippi River that do not
have students enrolled at Au­burn.

By SANSING SMITH
A facsimile of an official
medallion, emblematic of the
office of president of Auburn,
will be presented this morning
to Dr. Harry M. Philpott by
Gov. George C. Wallace, mark­ing
the induction of Dr. Phil­pott
as Auburn's 11th presi­dent.

The Mansion Is Tranquil Home
The President's mansion
here will be open to many
extra visitors when Dr.
Harry M. Philpott is install­ed
as president May 13.
Redecorated, air-conditioned,
and adorned with the many
lovely antiques of its new own­ers,
the mansion has always
been a showplace. Golonial in
architecture, it presents the one
unhurried haven on a campus
restless with activity, set high
on rolling lawns and surround­ed
by majestic old trees.
CARPET OF GREEN
Fortunately, a crew from
Buildings and Grounds keeps
the zoysia grass thick as an ex.-
pensive carpet and green all
year round, because, according
to his wife, the new president
"hates yard work. I'm neutral
about it. I mean, I don't despise
it. I love a garden and am will­ing
to do what is to be done to
keep it up."
Pauline Moran Philpott, how­ever,
has little time to plant a
garden, and confines her tend­ing
to house plants, particularly
the orchids she brought with
her from Florida.
Don't ask Mrs. Philpott how
many rooms there are in her
new home, for she has never
counted them. But she does like
the spaciousness afforded her
family of six.
Downstairs there are two
dining rooms, one for state oc­casions
and one for the family,
a drawing room, study, sun
room and enclosed porch.
COLORFUL ELEGANCE
Eyecatchers in both dining
rooms are the crystal candle­stick
light fixtures, extending
from the ceiling. A seascape
fringes the bottom of the attrac­tively
grey wallpaper, a dupli­cate
of paper in R. E. Lee's old
home at Washington and Lee in
Lexington, Va.
The drawing room, its grey
walls complimented by a wine
rug, is the most formal room.
It is centered around a fire­place,
with an elegant and fra­gile
French antique, Dresden
mantlepiece set, including a
clock, in kaleidoscopic colors.
Bright with color, the large
room is impressive with mas­sive
family portraits and vivid
antiques displayed on table top
furniture.
The sun room is carried out
in a Chinese motif, with rattan
furniture and a heavy woven
mat rug.
Interview
(Continued from page 1)
of the job is that it does not allow enough time to talk
to those whom I would like to talk. Looking over the
past eight months, I've been with students more than some
presidents I know.
"There appears to be no gap between students and ad­ministrators
here, no feeling that students have one interest
and administrators another, but rather a sense that we are
united in a cooperative effort," Dr. Philpott observed.
Currently occupying a portion of the fourth floor of
Ralph Brown Draughon Library while his Samford Hall
office suite is being renovated (for the first time since
1888), Dr. Philpott, his distinctive pipe in hand, reported
that "a fraternity group from the University of Alabama
called our home at about three o'clock in the morning
recently. They said they wanted to add a little bit to
the Auburn spirit. I told them that it was unnecessary,
that we had it before they were born and we'd have it
long after they were dead."
It appears that Auburn's newest president has put that
spirit to work as has never been done before. It would
be a good idea to save some additional space in your
Auburn scrapbook for the Philpott Years—the action is
fast and thorough in Tiger Town.

administration here.
Warren was fatally injured
Friday morning as he returned

to return to his lane of traffic.
Officials said Warren lost con­trol

Play Remains Sold Out
Going Into Final Run
The Players' Theatre has been the scene of standing-room-
only crowds for the first run of "Under Milkwood,"
the Auburn Players' spring presentation. The final per­formances
of Dylan Thomas' drama will be presented
through tomorrow night.
Loveliest Of The Plains
THIS IS WARM SPRING . . .
After a cool windy week, Loveliest Donna Thompson
soaks up some welcomed sun. Donna is a junior in secondary
education. The brown-eyed, brown-haired beauty is a
Birmingham native, a resident of Dorm 8, and a member
of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority.
Tickets may be obtained by
calling the drama office for
reservations. The reservations
must be confirmed before 2
p.m. on the day of the perform­ance.
Curtain time is 8:15 p.m.
Student ID cards will be re­quired
for admission.
SET IN WALES
The play is set in a small
town on the coast of Wale's
and the characters are revealed
in s h o r t scenes, flashbacks,
and dreams, reported Raymond
Carver, director.
By multiple casting, 16 stu­dents
portray the 65 characters
of the play. The array of ac­tors
are implemented, Carver
said, to present several images
in a single scene. The overall
impression of the crowded im­ages
is that the audience has
looked into e a c h character
portrayed, seen his life and his
soul.
ART EXHIBITED
An added highlight for the
performances are paintings,
hung on the theatre walls by
Auburn artist Brack Walker
depicting his impression of the
whirling images. Walker paint­ed
the scenes from his impres­sion
of the players acting the
various scenes.
included in the c a s t are
veteran players Christine Ab­bott,

Jr., Wayne Lacy, Frank
Hallman, Jim Formby, Kelly

Commer, and John Border, Jr.
NOVICES DEBUT
Novice actors Nancy Antoine,
Marilyn Black, D a n Blood-worth,
Jr., Merrel Stringer,
Sharon Towles, and Pat Lynch
appear in the production.
Costumes were designed by
Prof. Robert Knowles. The
rest of the crew includes Kel­ly

John Keys, l i g h t i n g ; David
Messer, musical director; and
Jim Formby, stage manager.
Selective Service To Offer Test
Saturday Morning In Commons
By EARL THORNTON
Students who have registered for the Selective Ser­vice
college qualification test will have a chance to
take it the first time Saturday morning in Commons
305, 307 or 319.
Testing is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. and will last
until noon. Students who can't p a s s i n g t h e t e s t c a n p l a y a n im_
take the test Saturday will be p o r t a n t p a r t i n w i n n i n g defer
able to May 21 or June 3.
Lt. Col. Rex McKissick, act­ing
state Selective Service Di­rector
said that students may
win deferment for the regular
school year by qualifying on
the Selective Service qualifi­cation
test. In fact, he recom­mends
that all students, regard­less
of their grades, take the
voluntary test.
The deadline for registering
for the test was April 23 but
Col. McKissick added that since
many students were not aware
of the deadline, the registra­tion
period may be extended.
He advised students to watch
newspapers for information
concerning the proposed exten­sion.
According to Col. McKissick,
ment f o r a college student.
However, if he fails the exam­ination
he can still rely on his
daily class work to keep him
deferred by studying hard and
remaining in the required up-percentage
of the class.
REQUIREMENTS SET
Auburn Registrar Charles
Edwards said the Selective Ser­vice
has set these academic re­quirements
for students to re­main
deferred:
Freshmen must rank in the
upper one-half of the men in
their class for the last three

TICKETS ON SALE
Tickets good for the rest of
this quarter may be purchased
from Whatley for $3 and will
be indicated by a punch mark
on the student I.D. card. A tic­ket
good for the rest of this
quarter and for summer school
as well may be purchased for
$10.
Hereafter, cost to students
will be $10 per quarter, to be
paid during registration.
Whatley said that mainten­ance,
gasoline, and insurance
costs are $17,000 per bus per
year. Operation of the buses
will be financed completely by
ticket sales.
FIVE BUSES
Five standard city buses,
with a front and a back door
to facilitate passenger flow,
will be used. Acquisition of ad­ditional
buses will depend upon
student response.
A permit issued by the Uni­versity
Business Office author­ized
the privately-owned trans­it
company to operate as a cam­pus
bus system for students,
faculty, and staff only.
No student bus drivers will
be used, Whatley said, because
state Public Service Commis­sion
and insurance company
regulations require all drivers
to be at least 25 years of age.
Thief Nets $133
From Auburnites
During SUSGA
By JERRY BROWN
A near-perfect student
leader convention was mar­red
in its closing moments
last week after the loss of
$133 in money and an un-estimated
loss of personal
belongings for four Auburn
students.
The billfolds of Gerald
Rutberg, George McMillan,
and Ron Mussig, and Jean
Ford's purse were stolen
from McMillan's car Friday
night. It was the final night
of the Southern Universi­ties
Student Government
Association (SUSGA) con­vention,
which was held in
Jacksonville, Fla., l a st
week.
Mussig said that the Au­burn
delegation had parked
their automobiles for a tour
of the Jacksonville beach,
and had left their valuables
in McMillan's locked car.
When they returned, the
men's billfolds were missing

Summer Building Program Slated
For Massive Auburn Expansion
By SANSING SMITH
New women's dorms, a nuclear science center, lighted
tennis courts, and one less street this fall will be the
result of a big construction program here.
Two new three-story, air conditioned dorms in the
South Women's Quadrangle will be ready for occupancy
in the fall. Two six-story dorms
now under construction, will
be ready winter quarter. The
six-story dorms will have ele­vators.
ADDITION TO DINING HALL
To accommodate the larger
number of women to be housed
in the South Dorm area, an ad­dition
to the South Dining Hall
will be ready for fall.
The Nuclear Science Center
on West Samford Avenue, be­gun
a year ago, will contain
special labs for radio-active
materials. It will have an accel­erator,
a cobalt 60 source, and
a teletherapy unit, in place of
an atomic reactor, which was
struck from the original plans
due to lack of funds.
New volleyball courts and 14
tennis courts, eight of which
will be lighted, are being con­structed
on W e s t Samford.
They will take the place of the
old courts which must be mov­ed
from the site of forthcoming
education-liberal arts complex.
CLOSED TO TRAFFIC
As a result of construction
of the education-liberal arts
complex, the block of Duncan
Drive extending from Thach to
the parking lot between Dorm
4 and Dorm 9 will be closed.
This will leave only two
n o r t h - s o u t h thoroughfares
through main campus: Mell
Street, extending from South
Dorms to Ross Square, a nd
Donahue 'Drive, running be­tween
the stadium and the drill
field.
To supplement the loss, Tiger
Street will be extended from
Thach to Roosevelt on the east
side of the stadium. However,
this extension will not be com­pleted
until fall, 1968.
Construction will begin on the
education-liberal arts complex
fall quarter and will be com­pleted
by fall, 1968, said Col.
Linwood E. Funchess, director
of buildings and grounds.
It will have a main unit of
three floors of class rooms di­vided
into two wings—one for
the school of education and one
for the future school of liberal
arts. In the center of the com­plex
will be a six-story tower
devoted to offi< j space. Four
elevators will service the tower.
The University Book Store,
now housed in the Union Build­ing,
will be moved to the com­plex
when it is completed.
CAPACITY FOR 13,000
Construction will begin in
August on the new auditorium-physical
education building, to
be ready for fall, 1968. It will
have a seating capacity of 13,-
000 and will contain a 90x56
pool. It will house the men's
and women's P.E. departments.
With the completion of the
P.E. complex, Alumni gym will
be vacated. Colonel Funchess
said that the area the gym now
occupies will probably be used
to expand the Union Building.
Bidding was opened last
Tuesday on the construction of
a pesticide lab at the poultry
farm, to be ready next January.
Other aspects of the construc­tion
include total air condition­ing
of Magnolia Hall, men's
dormitory, one third of which
will be ready for summer quar­ter;
complete renovation and
air conditioning of the first two
levels of Samford Hall; and a
renovation of Comer Hall, to
include a small auditorium, all
of which will be completed by
fall.
While Samford Hall is being
remodeled, the president's of­fice
has b e e n moved to the
fourth floor of Draughon Li­brary.
The laying of an underground
electrical distribution system,
which was begun April 1, will
be completed on main campus
by mid-June and on the out­skirts
of campus by August 1,
Col. Funchess said.

An Inaugural Welcome
Dr. Harry M. Philpott is today
Icharged with the responsibility of de-oting
his life to the high standards
and continuing betterment of education
lat this institution. His is a rugged,
•pressure-packed job. He must be cal­culating,
but never cold.
Dr. Philpott comes to his new posi-ite
at a time when university presi-
Ks everywhere find they must be
B super-human beings. They are
Sheeted to be everything from com-futer
experts to baby sitters.
May we take this opportunity to
Iwelcome Dr. Philpott, his wife and
children as Auburn's official First
Family.
Auburn University is a sprawling
giant with vast potential. It also has
its share of problems and growing
pains, but you probably won't find a
better spirit for mastering dilemmas
than right here.
It is often said of college presidents
that if they are as well liked when
they leave as when they arrive they
have succeeded. We wish for Dr. Phil­pott
many years of progress, happiness,
and success.
rr r 'Feds' Need To Aid The 'Fuz
Speaking of federally subsidized
Iprograms, one such program that we
J think should rank at the top of the
domestic list is a project aimed at mak­ing
federal money available to dollar-starved
local (city and county) police
(departments.
Local police departments are in dire
I need of reformation. Increased salar­ies,
improved facilities, and better
training are s o m e of the items our
peace-keepers need in order to per­form
their jobs according to modern
standards of criminology.
Local (city and county) govern­ments,
by far the most logical sources
of aid, fail to provide for these neces­sary
changes either because it is eco­nomically
impossible or politically in­expedient.
As a result, police departments are
far Jess than what they should or could
be. Some jails are a disgrace. It is re­markable
that many departments do as
well as they do under the circum­stances.
The millions of kids who at age five
swear they want to be policemen rush
awav from the field at 21 when they
find out that the salaries are contemp­tibly
low and the sacrifices high. In
creased pay would allow departments
to upgrade qualifications and secure
top talent.
We do not at all advocate even a
hint of federal control over aid-receiv­ing
departments. We ask only that the
Feds make money and materials avail­able.
It is easy to see that no state or
local citizenry is going to increase
taxes on itself Jo finance a home-oper­ated
project, therefore Washington
must help out.
Sure there may be future cases of
waste and inefficiency as seems inevi­table
with many Big Government pro­grams,
but the benefits of such a pro­gram
would far outweigh the draw­backs.
And who says that Big Gov­ernment
programs have to be ineffic­ient,
anyway?
As things stand now, many police­men
find it necessary to hold down
two jobs. Often their wives must also
work to reduce the financial gap cre­ated
when a career of public service
was chosen.
It's time to give the "fuz" a helping
hand. Crime doesn't pay, but neither
do our police departments.
Rapid Transit Comes To Auburn
So much has been said for so long
about the need for a campus shuttle
bus system that we may stare in dis­belief
when former Student Senator
Bill Whatley's "Bluebird Specials" roll
across the campus Monday morning
for the first time.
Senator Whatlev early realized that
the University did not wish to enter
the transportation business so he took
it upon himself to provide what Au­burn
students have clamored for in re­cent
years (with the University's bless­ing
and cooperation, Whatley acted).
How successful the system will be
remains for future evaluation. Your
participation will largely determine
continued operation of the line.
Ordinarily ,we would not advocate
patronage of a privately-owned facil­ity
serving the University, however,
Whatley deserves much credit and
massive support for bringing to reality
a long-time student dream.
More Money For Debate And Intramurals
When the Allocations Board meets
this Monday and Tuesday to divide the
expected proceeds from the forthcom­ing
year's Student Activities Fees, we
hope the Board will vote to increase
funds going to the Debate Council and
the men's intramurals program.
Funds made available to these two
vital and contributing facets of Uni­versity
life have been grossly inade­quate.
The debate squad has spread
Auburn's good name wherever it has
represented us. Its only limitation has
been financial.
Our lack of adequate intramurals
facilities is a disgrace. Whoever heard
of having just two basketball courts to
serve 8,000 male students? That is,
when an entertainer or a convocation
hasn't pre-empted intramurals activity
altogether.
Auburn students are not the type
who will march or demonstrate or seek
their goals by violent means, but the
University is cheating the students by
offering what must be some of the
fewest facilities for extra-curricular
athletic activity to be found at any
university of comparable enrollment.
The Allocations Board can help to
further these programs with some ad­ditional
monetary aid. We urge the
Board to make these funds available.
'Can't Miss' Guys . . .
SUSGA Reveals Range
Of Governmental Talent
By Gerald Rutberg
JACKSONVILLE, FLA.—This column is
being written at the May 4-7 Southern Uni­versities
Student Government Association (SUSGA) conference in
this city. Student leaders from 60 colleges and universities are
here for what must be the biggest political rodeo this side of
the Democratic National Convention.
To fully appreciate what is
represented here, one must
realize that 10 years from now
it is quite possible that state
legislatures w i l l be dotted
with some of the same faces
seen here. Twenty years hence,
someone who is here today
could be the governor, or the
vice-president, or the town
drunk.
Here are the students who,
through hard work, or conniv­ing,
or apathy on the part of
others made it to the top of
their student governments. The
students here are the doers.
Who knows what candid pho­tograph
taken at a seminar or
a meal might later be dug up to
picture some "Mr. X" in his
"younger days?" A future
Woodrow Wilson could well be
seated to our left.
And this is just one SUSGA,
the thirteenth of its kind. Next
year there will be new names,
fresh ideas, and more explod­ing
energy. Multiply one
SUSGA with 800 attending
times 20 years and you begin
to get an idea of the size of the
South's political arena.
You can pretty well tell what
kind of student government a
university has by what it sends
here. And the range is enorm­ous.
You have the top dog Phi
Beta Kappa—Student Govern­ment
President — debate team
captain with the seemingly
"can't miss" future at one end
of the spectrum and some strict­ly
mediocre representative at
the other.
A big lesson to be learned
here is that student govern­ment
at the university level is
just another step up the line.
Before this there was the gram­mar
school homeroom govern­ment,
the Cub Scout era and
the high school senior - class
operation.
Some have reached their
peak already. SUSGA is as far
as they will ever go, at least
politically speaking. Others will
use this level as a stepping-stone
to greater • heights and
still others will drift away from
government to become doctors
and clergymen and "can't miss"
guys wo did miss.
And don't ever forget the in­dividual
who sits unknown in
some obscure college dormitory
who may later bloom and as­sume
a role in grovernment.
The immediate success of a
SUSGA is the exchange of
ideas and concrete programs
which help all the university
student governments involved
to make needed improvements.
The long-range benefits include
the production of better leaders
equipped with a broader knowl­edge
of the world, and most im­portant
for these future Wal­laces,
Kennedys, and Under­woods,
a better understanding
of some of the people who in­habit
this planet.
And, you ask, just what are
we doing here? Well, it's« just
like a kid making his first trip
to the circus. He's heard a lot
about the acts and he doesn't
want to miss a minute of the
show.

On Dying, Nothingness
And The American Pride
By Mel Pulliam
A weekend trip to Panama City, house-partying,
and a six-hour auto drive from there
to Birmingham, found this traveler physically exhausted as I
slumped into a seat Sunday night next to one of Uncle Sam's
PFC's, for a bus trip back to Auburn.
Recalling Jerry Brown's interesting bus rides, my mental capa­cities
were alerted, and a cu- . . „ ' . . ' *,
I remember thinking, "a typical
example of American dedica­tion
and patriotism," seen first­hand
by an inquisitive college
freshman, not yet- fully ac­quainted
with the ways of the
world.
We talked aimlessly about
rifles, a hobby of his, and red i
phosphorus grenades, and
w h i t e phosphorus grenades
(which heat to 1200 degrees,
burning right through flesh and
bone); weapons of the fighting
infantry man, designed to de­stroy.
He talked of the "pay
check," supposedly the major
reason for his volunteering for
duty in Viet Nam. Another mo­tivation
for going into "hell"
was his training. "I've been in
three years. I'd just as soon
they'd send me, than some basic
who's had only eight weeks of
training. I feel that I'm better
equipped to do the job than
they are."
Somehow, I thougnt there
might be more.
Later, a few miles further
down the road, I found out.
The questions had turned to
his family. "I have a brother
and sister. She graduated from
Alabama with a major in jour­nalism.
My brother was in the
Army. I sensed something was
coming—something not very
pleasant. "Do you remember
Pleiku?" His voice had become
serious and low.
". . . the place that was over­run
by the VC about four
months ago?"
I answered sadly, "Yes1."
"My brother was killed there.
He was younger than I was—
by about three minutes." The
PFC gave a half-smile, trying
to make a joke of the three
minute difference, but he didn't
succeed.
I groped for words and found
none. Silence, broken by the
murmurs of other passengers,
set in. My vision blurred.
I took for granted that the
dusty bus had made tears come
to my eyes.
The sleep of weariness over­came
a tired traveler and the
thoughts of wav, destruction,
and dying went swimming into
nothingness. But not before I
ksaid to my self—I'm proud to
be an American.
rious Auburn student rudely
asked a question.
"Where are you headed?"
"Ft. Benning."
"Been in the Army long?"
"I've been in for three years
. . . I re-enlisted for another
three a few months ago." The
face of the clean-cut young
man, who looked to be about
26, revealed a person contem­plating
serious things of life
rather than next weekend's
pass.
"I leave for Viet Nam next
Thursday," he volunteered. "I'll
be gone a year."
Conversation lapsed into sil­ence
— the lights of Birming­ham,
winking outside, went
slowly by. Pangs of compassion
hung uncomfortably, limply in
my heart for the young soldier,
who was staring out the win­dow,
looking at his homeland
for the last time in a long
while.
A few miles later, out in the
countryside, the glint of the
moon on a wedding b a nd
prompted the obvious question,
and it snapped the soldier's
concentration oh the foothills
of the Appalachians.
"Yes, I'm married," he re­plied.
"My wife is staying with
my parents. I'm not planning
to move her around so she'll be
there when I get back." He said
it with a quiet confidence.
"When I get back." Thinking
back, he never said, "If I come
back," suggesting no apprehen-siveness
which the average per­son
might feel at the" prospect
of seeing the VC face-to-face,
deep in the jungle and among
the rfce" paddies.
At that moment, the bus rum­bled
to a stop and a young
mother with her two children
climbed in out of the darkness.
"Any children?" The words
shot through my elenched teeth
before I realized I had said
them; thinking fearfully what
I had done to an already emo­tionally
aroused soldier.
"None," he replied, and T
breathed easier, feeling that I
hadn't stirred anew any emo­tions
that he had probably ex­perienced
earlier that Mother's
Day.

To Serve The Student . . ,
A Reorientation Of Goals
Is The Library's Need
By Ron Castille
If you spend a period of time in the Au­burn
Library, now the Ralph Brown Draughon
Library, you can discover many "truths." A plethora of knowl­edge
can be obtained by browsing through the seemingly endless
stacks, microfilms, microcards, and other modern conveniences
of an up-to-date library.
tration. During the last registra­tion
period 26 people used the
library for study, whereas a
possible 5,000 students could
have benefited from its use in
registration.
These are the two major com­plaints,
but there are many
others. The library admini­stration
cannot say they are not
aware of these problems, since
the student senate has a com­mittee
set up to work with the
library staff to bring about
some of these needed reforms.
This committee seems to have
run up against a blank wall the
entire year in all their efforts.
To alleviate these problems,
we need greater cooperation be­tween
the "powers that be"
and the student body. In fact,
there needs to be a reorientation
of thought relative to the stu­dent,
not only in the library,
but also in quite a few, other
areas on the campus, and the
surrounding community as well.
This university is operated to
instill an education in the stu­dents
attending it. This is the
major aim, and all else is sec­ondary.
If it were not for the
students, there would be no
use for this university, the peo­ple
who run it, or the town in
which we are located.
Maybe the library staff oper­ates
the library as a hobby or
so they will be eligible to go to
librarians' conventions, but no
matter how it is run, it should
be mainly operated for the
benefit of the group it was
meant to serve, the Student
Body.
But if you browse long
enough, one "truth" will even­tually
dawn upon you and hang
over the brighter aspects of the
library like a pall that almost
completely negates the benefits
the library offers. The "truth"
is that the library is not oper­ated
for the benefit of the Au­burn
student.
Take an average student. He
has classes all morning and
maybe a lab or two in the after­noons.
This leaves late after­noon
and all night as prime
study time, or research time in
the library. Relative to the stu­dent
then, the present closing
time of 11 p.m. weekdays, 10
p.m. Sundays, and 5 p.m.
Saturdays does not benefit the
student as much as it could
with later hours or even 24
hour operation.
Anyway, the actual closing
time is approximately 15 min­utes
earlier than the scheduled
closing time, since the staff
starts rearranging the furniture
and turning off the lights 15
minutes before the hour. You
kind of get the impression you
aren't wanted after that time,
especially when all the lights
are turned off except the one
over you.
The refusal of the library
director to allow the use of
the library for registration is
another example of the library
not serving the student. Maybe
this registration is not within
the scope of the library's func­tion,
but it would be a benefit
to the students in the ease of
comfort of a centralized regis-

Here Was A Real Man
Who Saw No Darkness
By Charley Majors
He was attending the convention as advisor
to a small college's student government.
I met him late one night as the frolicking was ending 'til the
morrow; the campaigners had gathered to plan their last minute
strategy before the elections the next day. Our delegation was
meeting in the hall of the fifth floor of the hotel, serenading the breaths as we drove back, the
Standing Up . . .
Outside Activities
Are Sacrifices
For University?
By Jerry Brown
It was a balmy night on the
Jacksonville, Fla., beach and
the waves were rolling in from
the Atlantic below the score of
Auburn students perched on
a s a n d dune, dubbed "Hill
13." The sporadic wind whist­led
through the dune sedges
above us as
we settled in
the sand, re­laxing
after
t h e South­ern

o c i a t i o n

convocation,
to the music
of a "Span­ish"
ukelele and the most pop­ular
song of the evening "a
million tomorrows will all pass
away but I'll never forget all
the joys that were mine to­day
. . ."
But the philosophical mood
of the song was to stand some
testing before the night turn­ed
to Saturday's dawn.
It began when a car load of
boys pulled onto the beach be­fore
us. Serrng us peerir? down
at them, a spokesman from the
group ar>pr~ached and asked us
to "not mind them" as they
were going to "raise a little
hell." Despite his suggestion,
we watched avidly as they built
a fire and began some strange
"ritual."
Later, two couples—over 40
and fortified—roared past us
in their new Chevy and prom­ptly
got stuck on our hill. After
a little help from us, they came
down to our level (they were
still pretty high) and were
treated to a few of our songs
and witticisms. Then they treat­ed
us to a wild and "danger­ous"
dune ride.
By the time they had left, the
night was beginning to get old;
we returned to our cars, park­ed
out of sight by the highway,
and discovered that some of our
group had personals stolen frcm
George McMillan's car (see
story, page 1). We waited an
hour, told our sad tale to an
investigator, and left for our
downtown hotel.
But the mysteries and the
theft on Hill 13 boie a strange
parallel to the thoughts which
ran though the minds of us
"student leaders." What were
we doing on a beach, or at a
convention, d u r i n g crucial
study periods? The mystery
would no doubt deepen in the
minds of our professors after a
rigorous battery of exams. An
even greater mystery would
loom in our parents' minds
when the mortality rate show­ed
up in our quarter grade
averages.
And theft? The theft would
come to those of us who have
become slaves to t h e extra­curricular
master. No honor
points show when the "great
scorer" tallies grades. Those
secure book-worms who can
pour over texts w i l l gather
well-deserved laurels, but those
who have spent some 40 hours
a week trying to put out a
quality newspaper, or lesser
time with year books or stu­dent
leader meetings will be
classed along side the beer
drinkers and the "don't-give-a-
damners."
The joys and experiences of
Hill 13 fitted into a strange
pattern for the 19P6 SUSGA
crew. W i t h prayers under
unfortunate others who hap­pened
to be on that floor.
He appeared out of the ele­vator
with several boys from
his group. I first thought that
he was merely an older student.
He seemed fascinated by our
meager efforts to follow the
strains of the uke. He stayed
while the others of his group
moved on to faster and livelier
action.
His requests for several songs
intrigued me — particularly
"Today, while the blossoms
still cling to the vine . . ." His
eyes followed the sounds of the
music as different ones of us
would start a new song or
verse.
Getting to know him better,
I found him to be not an un­dergraduate
student, but rather
a holder of a masters in psy­chology.
He was not a student
government officer, but rather
the director of development of
a liberal arts college.
Finding him to be quite a
conversationalist, I asked about
his education. He had complet­ed
his undergraduate work at
Birmingham-Southern, and had
attended graduate school at Ole
Miss, Princeton, and Harvard.
But he was not only a scholar,
but an athlete also. He had
wrestled in high school and had
been offered an athletic schol­arship

Letters To The Editor
Lowey 'Praises Highly'
Anne Johnson Column
Editor, the Plainsman:
Congratulations to Miss Anne
Johnson for her fine article
censoring censorship. It is
shameful that such fine liter­ary
masterpieces as Lady Chat-terly's
Lover, Lolita, and Tro­pic
of Cancer are prevented
from reaching the appreciating
public. Surely we are at a
great loss for not realizing the
intellectual stimulation that is
derived from reading such
works of art. These and other
similar publications should be
made available to the general
public immediately.
Of course, Miss Johnson
points out that perhaps small
children should not be allowed
to browse through them; but
this can be made possible by
putting signs above these books
telling these children to keep
their hands off. Of course they
will. Also, those dealers who
make a large percentage of
their living by selling to chil­dren
can be told to stop. Of
course, they will too.
One of the most outstanding
features of these literary works
is their bold four-letter way
of expressing situations which
practically always is as literal­ly
artful as a carpenter who
has just hit his thumb with a
hammer. By the same token,
what right have authorities to
harass those clean-cut young
Americans at Berkeley who
parade around carrying plac­ards
bearing these four-letter
words? Doesn't this prevent
the American public from be­ing
exposed to all sides of an
issue?
Yes, it is really a fine sign
of the time that now everybody
may read filthy books, that
students in our finest institu­tions
of learning read text­books
telling them that com­munism
is really not so bad or
are taught by instructors to
demonstrate against our coun­try's
fighting to preserve our
liberty; while the farmer can­not
plant crops or raise live­stock
as he pleases, the em­ployer
may not choose whom
he wishes to hire, or the res­taurant
or motel owner may
not select his customers.
Yes, let's abolish all censor­ship.
That's just whai we need!

Recently, Congress enacted
the Drug Abuse Control A-mendments
of 1965, which a-mend
the Federal Food; Drug,
and Cosmetic Act. This legis­lation
became effective Feb­ruary,
1, 1966, and provided
many new controls for drug
distribution concerning stimu­lant
and depressant drugs. Pro­vision
was made for the legal
possession of these medications.
However, illegal possession of
these drugs, which require a
physician's prescription, is pro­hibited
and is considered a vio­lation
of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Conviction carries a punish­ment
of imprisonment for not
more than one year and a fine
of not more than $1,00Q or
both for the first offense and
imprisonment for not more
than three years and a fine
not more than $10,000 or both
for subsequent offenses. An
additional penalty has been
added where stimulant or de-pressent
drugs are sold to a
person under 21 years of age.
For a first offense, the pun­ishment
is imprisonment for
not more than two years and a
fine not more than $5,000 or
both, and subsequent viola­tions
carry a penalty of not
more than six years imprison­ment
and a fine of not more
than $15,000 or both. These
punishments also hold for those
convicted of giving these drugs
away without charge.
It is firmly believed that the
pharmacists of this. area and
the whole country conscient­iously
assume their ethical and
legal obligations. Physicians
are bound by oath to protect the
health of the public.
Nevertheless, certain indivi­duals
are out for a fast buck
and have no regard for the
health of the person who con­sumes
these drugs for their in­somnia,
lexcitability, and in­creased
motor activity side ef­fects.
Let us hope that the
health professions are blame­less
in this matter.
The real "pushers" are those
cowardly and degraded indi­viduals
of the lower class who
have not learned that drugs
can, if properly used, protect
our health, prolong our life,
and reduce much pain and suf­fering.
This scum-of-the-earth
portion of society has not be­come
cognizant that, improperly
used, drugs can cause great
injury and do great harm. The
values of our society and the
security of our health can and
will be protected.

Give The Vote
And Show 'Maturity'
Editor, the Plainsman:
I certainly do agree with the
idea that all eighteen year olds
should be able to vote. I am
from Georgia and have already
voted in one local election.
It is not my opinion that the
almighty federal government
should be called upon to pro­vide
this legislation. Why can't
the State of Alabama do it?
The states are guaranteed the
power to decide their own elec­tion
laws.
Let's try to accomplish this
in our own states without ask­ing
Lyndon for it. If Alabama
would show a little "voting
maturity" maybe he'd quit
sending his government voting

Edwards said that computers
are now at work determining
the rank of each male student.
In response to other ques­tions
asked concerning the Se­lective
Service, Col. McKissick
answered:
"Enrollment in summer school
will not affect male students'
draft status in any way," Col.
McKissick reports.
Deferred students who stay
oat of 'school- in* the summer
are in no more danger of be­ing
drafted than the ones who
attend school, he explains.
Student deferment status
continues through summer
quarter which is set up by the
Selective Service as a regular
vacation period. However, the
vacation is effective for sum­mer
quarter only.

If you've never used an electric shaver before, the Norelco 'Flip-
Top' Speedshaver® is a great way to find out the easier side of
shaving. Its rotary blades stroke whiskers off. Never cut or nick.
They won't hurt you. Neither will the price, which is about the
same as a year's supply of razor blades and shave cream.
P.S. If you want to spend a littlemore, get the Norelco Speedshaver
30 (at right). 35% closer shaves. 'Floating heads,' too. And a

Jana. Phil Have Worked For Latest Successes
New Miss Auburn Has Experienced
A Life Of Victory And Defeat
By KAY DONAHUE and BOBBY BUISSON
"What is defeat? Nothing but education; noth­i
n g but the first step to something better." Jana
Howard, newly-instailed Miss Auburn, knows t h e'
t r u t h in that quote from Wendell Phillips. She has
t a s t e d of both defeat and victory in her 21 years.
Jana is a farm girl from Toney in the northern part
of the state. Her family consists of parents, a 10-year old
sister, a 16-year old brother, and a 19-year old sister.
Home life has had a great influence on Jana.
"I learned to appreciate the basic things in life," Jana
said, She also gained an appreciation for hard work. Her
father raised cattle, cotton, and corn. From the time she
was very young she worked with her brother and sisters
helping the hands with the farm chores.
FAMILY-CENTERED HOME
Jana's home life centered around the family. "We work­ed
together and relaxed together," she said. "Very few
Sundays went by that we didn't go on a picnic or out
riding in the country together.
"The biggest influence on my life besides my family
has probably been the 4-H Club," Jana said. Through this
organization she gained Experience in dealing with people
and public speaking.
Contests in various phases of home economics and
public speaking in 4-H helped Jana decide what to
do with her future. She is in home economics, majoring
in food nutrition, and home management.
EARLY OFFICES
"In the 4-H I ran for my first offices—and learned how
to win and lose," Jana added. "It taught me to decide what
I wanted to do and then do my best even if I didn't al­ways
succeed."
Jana did succeed and held offices in the 4-H and
similar organizations. She was the first girl president of
the Madison County Junior Cattleman's Association and
also secretary of the state association.
She served as president of the 4-H Club and of the
Future Homemakers of America. For two years she was
sweetheart of the Future Farmers of America.
Every attempt, however, did not result in a victory
for Jana. She ran for district FHA president and was de­feated.
HIGH SCHOOL CAREER
Hard work and determination were also the basis for
her high school career. At graduation Jana received the
scholastic award for outstanding scholarship and the Bal­four
Award which is given to the outstanding member of
the senior class.
Jana served as president of her high school sophomore
class and was a cheerleader for four years. She was chosen
as a yearbook beauty and as Snow Queen of the school's
winter carnival.
Once again, despite her efforts, Jana faced defeat. She
ran for president of her senior class and lost.
VICTORY AND DEFEAT
College has been another opportunity for experience
with the cups of victory and defeat. Jana ran for Miss
Homecoming last year and was runner-up for the title.
Of these defeats Jana says, "I feel that if you lose, there
is a reason. You are meant to do something else or you
simply didn't try hard enough."
A loss always result J in a re-evaluation of self fo'r
Jana. These re-evaluations and the resulting changes
resulted in the Jana Howard who was recently installed
as Miss .Auburn. "I feel I learned something important
each time I lost in a competition," she said.
Journalism is one of Jana's biggest interests at Auburn.
She has worked on the Plainsman staff for three years.
The positions of assistant editor and editorial columnist
were hers this year.
She has worked for two summers with the Huntsville
Times. Jana hopes to work in public relations, the ex­tension
service, or the woman's department of a news­paper
or magazine.
"I have really enjoyed doing public relations work in
the student government," Jana added. She served as
Superintendent of Public Relations in the executive cabinet
this year. The public relations committee developed the
idea of the "War Eagle Girls" which Jana, as Miss Auburn,
will direct.
MISS AUBURN'S HOPES
Regarding being chosen Miss Auburn, Jana said, "I
feel so honored to know that people think I deserve and
can handle the responsibility of representing them and
their ideals."
"I want to be the friendliest Miss Auburn ever. . . .
someone with whom people will want to talk with and
discuss all phases of student life. I will try never to
disappoint the people who showed their confidence in me.
Jana feels that she has gained a great deal from her
college experiences. "I have learned to accept people
for what they are . . . to appreciate accomplishments, ideas,
values, and successes on the basis of background."
"I really enjoyed working in student government; I
love to meet people and be around them," she added.
"It's a great honor to have been chosen Miss Auburn by
my fellow students. I will do my best to live up to
the Auburn Creed, something I believe in and cherish
dearly."
Jana Howard has won and lost many times in her short

More than 1,300 graduate and p a r t - t i m e students will

dents have been paying six
dollars per quarter hour, said
Auburn Bursar Roy C. Cargile.
All students taking at least 10
hours work will pay the regu­lar
student rate of $100 a quar­ter.
Any student with nine houvs
or less will pay the $:5 regis­tration
fae plus five dollars
per quarter hour.
MORr I UND MONK?
"This change," said Cargile,
"is designed to provide more
money for the Student Activi­ties
fund." The change is in
keeping with the sanvj prac­tices
at other institutions in this
area, he added.
"All students are entitled to
benefits of activities and pro­grams
supported by the Stu­dent
Activities Fee and t he
Student Health Service, regard­less
of hours carried.
"For members of faculty and
staff registered under the pro­vision,
the $15 registration fee
is waived and benefits provided
by the Activities Fee and Stu­dent
Health Fee are not avail­able,"
said Cargile.
He added that all students,
regular, part-time and gradu­ates
will have ID cards.
LAUNDRY BUSINESS EXIT
"Another change being made
in the financial schedule is that
Auburn is getting out of the
laundry business beginning
summer quarter," said Cargile.
Right now only four per cent
cent of the student body is
using the student laundry ser­vice
provided ' by Young's
Laundr . .
"Hov. .;•," he added, "the
University has a contract with
Young's to furnish laundry and
dry cleaning services to stu­dents
at the same rate of $20
a quarter. But the student will
have to make arrangements
with the laundry rather than
through the school."
A linen rental service will
also be available to students.
For $8.50 a quarter one pillow
case, two sheets and four bath
towels will be provided each
week.

entire student body. By her actions, she will be the
Auburn image for 1966-1967.
New Student Body President Says
Success Lies Within Self-Honesty
By KAY DONAHUE
"I t r y to be myself . . . to hold to what I believe
and stay t h e Phil Hardee t h a t I h a v e always been."
With this statement the newly-installed student
body president summed u p t h e secret of his success.
But who is this Phil Hardee?
Is he a mysterious figure who will prowl the
t h i r d floor of the Union Building? Is he just an­other
"typical Auburn male?" Is he a power-mad
politician? Just who is Phil Hardee?
Phil is a native of Beatrice, a small town in the south­ern
part of the state. His family consists of parents, an
older sister, Mary, and an older brother, Joel. His home
takes up a good part of a block on the main street in town.
AUBURN FAMILY
When graduation time arrives, Phil will be the fourth
member of his family to receive a diploma from Auburn.
His father, brother, and sister were active in student
government during their years as undergraduates. "There
was never any doubt about where I would go to school,"
Phil said.
Both his parents are teachers. They own a good deal
of land in the area surrounding Beatrice. This land is
used for raising beef cattle, horses, and some grain crops.
Horses are one of Phil's big loves and hobbies. He has
been grooming and showing them for many years. Horses
also provide most of the entertainment for the young
people in his home town. "Often groups would go riding
around dawn and later have breakfast together," Hardee
related.
People in his home know Phil as an enterprising youth.
He would trade horses and cows when other kids were
fooling around. Many cut classes resulted from his interest
in livestock. Often the lure of hunting, or the stockyards,
or his horses became too much for him to resist and school
was forgotten in the pursuit of bigger and better things.
HIGH SCHOOL LEADER
The pattern of life remained pretty much the same
during high school. "If I had something to do that I
felt was really urgent I would skip a class or two," Phil
confessed. This didn't keep him from winning the Bal­four
Award which is annually given to theC outstanding
member of the senior class.
Office-holding is not a new experience for Phil, nor
is it one which began when he entered college. He was
president of his class in high school. He also served as
president of the FFA and vice-president of the Beta Club.
Athletics played a part in Phil's life during high school.
Though he did not officially go out for basketball his senior
year, Phil lettered in the sport. "There weren't enough
boys who were interested in the game so the coach often
drafted us from the ranks of the spectators," said Phil.
Fifteen people were in Phil's graduating class. He
ivas third academically. "I was a few tenths of a point
below the salutorian of the class," Phil related, "but at
least I didn't have to make a speech."
College presented a chance to continue in the pursuit
of excellence which Phil feels is a vital part of successful
living "I had thought about the possibility of running for
freshman senator," Phil said, "but I wasn't really sure.
After reading about election procedures in the Plainsman,
I went to see some people in the know and got to work."
P H I L L I P CAREY HARDEE
President of the A u b u r n Student Body Plans Year
VICTORY TRAIL
After winning one of the two freshman senatorial posts
(Kay Ivey won the other frosh senatorial seat), Phil kept
busy with student government work. When time for the
spring elections rolled around he decided to try for sopho­more
senator. This election resulted in another victory
for him. The next year he ran for treasurer of the Student
Body and won again.
"It was after this election that I first really thought
about running for president," Phil said. "If you lose any
of the previous races it is not likely that you would try
for president. Since the Student Body has accepted me
in the three preceding races I felt perhaps I could gain
its support for the presidency."
According te Phil, the campaign was xun just like the
three preceeding campaigns. "I just tried to be myself
and not attempt to fake being any other way."
WHAT'S AHEAD?
Now that Phil Hardee has been installed as president
of the Student Body what are his feelings and his hopes
for the year?
"I'd like the students to look at me as being a down to
earth person who they could.stop on Ross Square or in
Funchess or anywhere on campus and talk about problems
regarding any phase of student life."
"I hope that I have benefited Auburn University and
the student body by my work and that my time and effort
will continue to be beneficial," Phil added.
' Phil's installation as Student Body president marked
the beginning of a new student administration for Auburn.
The success or failure of that administration is a story
only the future can write. Phil Hardee will be greatly
responsible for the content of that story—Auburn's stu­dent
government, 1966-1967.

Take your good time
going home.
Fly half-fare on
Eastern via Florida.
Florida swings in the spring—but it really swings in the summer.
Lower off-season room rates are in effect. And Eastern will take you to
Daytona or Ft. Lauderdale or even. Miami for half-fare.
So take a detour and enjoy it on your way home. Or go home first and down
to Florida later.
Just use your Eastern Youth ID card, or similar card from another airline. If
you don't have such a card, it's a snap to get one—provided you're under 22
and can prove it. For the specifics, stop by a Travel Agent or any Eastern ticket
office.
Once you have your card, you can get an Eastern Jet Coach seat for half-fare.
You can't make an advance reservation. But if there's a seat available at
departure time, you can fly to any Eastern destination within the continental
U.S. Including Florida.

In My Opinion
Students Find Faults
In Library Operation
By LYN SCARBROUGH
Opinions of Auburn students this week ranged from
highly complimentary to openly critical when the Plains­man
asked What is your opinion of the administration
of Auburn's library?
Lydia G. Reynolds, a junior in business administra­tion,
said, "I think we have a
very fine library, but I think
that it should be used more to
the advantage of the students.
This includes registration in the
library. I think that if the entire
student body were contacted
they would feel the same way.
I don't think it damages the
library as much as they say."
Commented Don Franklin, a
senior majoring in economics,
"I have no big complaints about
library. As to the question of
registration in t h e library, I
think we should definitely reg­ister
there. The library by far
has the best facilities for reg­istration.
My minor is psycho­logy
and I am familiar with
the fact that in this area the
library is deficient in works by
well-known psychology auth­ors.
But all in all I have no
complaint as to the way the li­brary
is managed."
Sarah Cutright, a sophomore
in zoology, supported the ad­ministration,
but recommended
several changes. She said, "I've
found that the library employ­ees
are very considerate. When
you ask a question, if they don't
know the answer, they make
every effort to find the answer
for you. However, I think the
hours should be changed. I
think it should be open later
than 11 o'clock, because some
people just don't have a chance
to study enough. I also think
we should be able to register
there. I think people should be
kept quieter."
In expressing nis views about
registration at the library, Jim
Elliott, a junior in business ad­ministration
said, "Registration
should be held at the library.
When they got it organized
where they could register prop­erly,
efficiently, and quickly,
they moved it somewhere else,,
Now it is just as big a mess as
it was when I was a freshman.
I believe that since it is our li­brary,
that we should be able to
register where we want to.
English Honorary
Initiates 16,
Elects Officers
Kappa Theta chapter of Sig­ma
Tau Delta, national English
honorary, recently elected of­ficers
for the coming year and
initiated 16 new members.
The newly-elected officers
are Sterling Eisiminger, presi­dent;
Deanna Nolen, vice-president;
Mary Frances Miller,
secretary-treasurer; and Har­ry
Moore, public relations
chairman and marshal.
The new initiates include
Burt Afton, Mitzi Cockrell,
Frances Collins, Sterling Eisi­minger,
Mary Lou Foy, Alison
Current-Garcia, Mary Frances
Miller, Presteen Miller, Harry
Moore, Charlotte Niblett, Dean­na
Nolen, Beverly Norris, Peg­gy
Piland, Carol Pinkston, Bet­ty
Jean Wilkinson, and Mary
Lou Windham.
At a later meeting, two other
members were initiated. They
are Charlene Barton and Phoe­be
Hale.
English Professor Ruth T.
Faulk is the faculty advisor
for the Kappa Theta chapter.
Lila Meeks and William Cook
are English graduate students,
co-advisors.
They shouldn't be putting up a
fuss about the shoes messing up
the floor and our messing up
the library. They are employed
to help us and in a round-about
way it is the student body that
is paying their salaries. I be­lieve
that it should not be up
to them where we register and
how we use our library."
Kathy Sute, a freshman in
Home Economics, said, "I be­lieve
the library administration
is set up quite well. I was im­pressed
at the tour we had in
pre-college counseling. I think
it is a good idea that they do
have a smoking room, because
I know students can't study
with smoke in their eyes. The
circulation is set up in such a
way that the students can fol­low
it easily. The course in use
of the library was the greatest
help to me in learning to use
the library. I think the library
here at Auburn is just wonder­ful."
"In particular I like the
building itself, with all t he
room and the space," added
Linda Little, a junior in Sec­ondary
Education. "As far as
the people working there, I
think that not being in educa­tion
themselves, they some­times
forget that they need to
be quiet when students are
studying. They carry on a lot
of conversation among them­selves
and I find this disturb­ing
to the students who are
studying. However, with all the
room you can find places that
are quieter than others if you
are familiar with the library. I
like the green shelf idea, be­cause
I know this helps in li­brary
administration and shows
organisation."

more economical and reliable
than the standard reciprocat­ing
engine, and it has about a
fourth as many moving parts,"

Dr. Lett added.

THE COLLEGE PRESIDENT:
HIS CAUSE AND CURE
Oh, sure, you've been busy, what with going to classes, doing
your homework, catching night crawlers, getting married,
picketing—but can't you pause for .iust a moment and give
thought to that dear, dedicated, lonely man in the big white
house on the hill? I refer, of course, to Prexy.
(It is interesting to note that college presidents are al­ways
called "Prexy." Similarly, trustees "are always called
"Trbrie." Associate professors are always called "Axy-Pixy."
Bursars are called "Foxy-Woxy." Students are called
"Algae,")
But I digress. We were speaking of Prexy, a personage
at once august and pathetic. Why pathetic? Well, sir, con­sider
how Prexy spends his days. He is busy, busy, busy.
He talks to deans, he talks to professors, he talks to trus­tees,
he talks to alumni. In fact, he talks to everybody ex­cept
the one group who could lift his heart and rally his
spirits. I mean, of course, the appealingest, endearingest,
winsomest group in the entire college—delightful you, the
students.
It is Prexy's sad fate to be forever a stranger to your
laughing, golden selves. He can only gaze wistfully out the
window of his big white house on the hill and watch you at
your games and sports and yearn with all his tormented
heart to bask in your warmth. But how? It would hardly
be fitting for Prexy to appear one day at the Union, clad in
an old rowing blazer, and cry gaily, "Heigh-ho, chaps!
Who's for sculling?"
No, friends, Prexy can't get to you. I t is up to you to get
to him. Call on him at home. Just drop in unannounced. He
will naturally be a little shy at first, so you must put him at
his ease. Shout, "Howdy-doody, sir! I have come to bring a
little sunshine into your drear and blighted life!" Then
yank his necktie out of his vest and scamper goatlike
around him until he is laughing merrily along with you.
Then hand him a package and say, "A little gift for you,
sir."
"For me?" he will say, lowering his lids. "You shouldn't
have."
"Yes, I should," you will say, "because this is a pack of
Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, and whenever I
think of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, I think of
you."
"Why, hey?" he will ask curiously.
"Because, sir," you will say, "though you are no longer
a young blade, still you gleam and function. Full though
you are of years and lumps, rheumy though your endocrines
and flaccid your hamstrings, still you remain sharp, inci­sive,
efficacious."
"Thank you," he will say, sobbing.
"So it is with Personna," you will continue. "Naturally
you expect a brand-new blade to give a close, speedy shave.
But how about a blade that's had hard and frequent use?
Do you still expect a close, speedy shave? Well, sir, if it's a
Personna, that's what you'll get. Because, sir, like you, sir,
Personna is no fiash-in-the-pan. Like you, sir, Personna
abides."
He will clasp your hand then, not trusting himself to
speak.
"But away with gloom!" you will cry jollily. "For I have
still more good news to tell you of Personna!"
"How is that possible?" he will say.
"Hearken to me," you will say. "Personna, in all its en­during
splendor, is available not only in Double Edge style
but also in Injector style!"
He will join you then in the Personna rouser, and then
he will bring you a steaming cup of cocoa with a marsh-mallow
on top. Then you will say, "Good-bye, sir. Twill re­turn
soon again to brighten your dank, miasmic life."
"Please do," he will say. "But next time, if you can pos­sibly
manage it, try not to come at four in the morning."

Tiger
Pause
By David Housel
Dr. Harry M. Philpott . . . Auburn University's eleventh
president or the "best second string guard to ever come out of
North Carolina?"
Take your choice. Either applies to the man who is honored
today.
Sports For Enjoyment.
Dr. Philpott's philosophy on sports and recreation is one of
enjoyment and participation.
'I am interested in and participate in sports, but I am not
in any way, shape, or form a good athlete. Maybe this is
why I have such a degree of sympathy for the second stringer.
I was one so long, but I did get a lot out of participation without
having made any all star teams."
In college, Dr. Philpott, a Kappa Alpha, was an intramural
man, swimming, playing touch football, basketball, ahd Softball.
He did not go out for a varsity sport.
The enjoyment of sports carries over into the new presi­dent's
individual recreation also.
Naming golf as his major recreation interest at Auburn,
Dr. Philpott said that his game had been "on the shelf" for a
while, but added that the hopes to get back to the course soon.
"I used to play golf quite regularly, but I lost interest when
I lived in a community where the courses had sand greens. I
shot 90 and 100 and sometimes over that, but almost never under
it."
"I never have gotten involved seriously enough to put in the
, time and energy to excel. 1 want to develop enough skill so I
don't ruin the enjoyment of the thing and have a lot of fun
doing it."
Dr. Philpott added, "I'd rather shoot 90 or 95 on the golf
course and have a lot of fun doing it than to shoot 81 and feel
that the day was lost because I did not get a 75."
In addition to golf, swimming and fishing are among Dr.
Philpott's favorite recreational sports. He hopes to do more fish­ing
than he has in the past. While in Florida, Dr. Philpott liked
to fish for rock fish which run about eight or ten pounds in the
Gulf.
Team Supporter
Dr. Philpott supports "the team of the University he is as­sociated
with at the particular time."
Over the years, baseball-wise, Auburn's new president says
he has had a leaning toward the Washington Senators since he
was raised in North Carolina, but laughingly adds that he
hasn't had much to follow in the past few years.
Dr. Philpott urges his family to participate in sports. His
children mainly participate in swimming and tennis. His 14-
year-old son has "a wide range of athletic interest." Presently
a member of a junior high football team, his son, said Dr.
Philpott, may ' develop into something."
The Philpott family "enjoys going to athletic contests of
any sort." They go as a family whenever possible.
The Auburn spirit has caught hold of the family in the
President's Mansion. Dr. Philpott's oldest son flew down to
the Auburn-Alabama game and the Liberty Bowl game with
Ole Miss.
Florida And Alabama . . ,
There are two big athletic rivalries for Dr. Philpott. Since
he came to Auburn from Florida, the Gators are a big rival to
Dr. Philpott. Of course, Alabama is a big one also.
Following this year's 28-17 Auburn victory, several of Dr.
Philpott's Florida friends "forgot the way to the President's
Mansion," but Dr. Philpott says the kidding was good-natured.
Even though this was Dr. Philpott's first Alabama-Auburn
game year, he was well acquainted with Dr. Frank A. Rose,
Alabama's president.
While at Florida, Dr. Rose asked Dr. Philpott to speak to. a
alumni group prior to the Florida-Alabama game in 1963.
During his speech, Dr. Philpott told the Alabama group that
they had to force the Florida team to come to Tuscaloosa to
play Alabama. After explaining to the group that it was almost
impossible for the Gators to beat the Tide, Dr. Philpott went
out and enjoyed a 10-6 Florida Victory.
The next year, Dr. Rose didn't ask his Florida friend to
speak, and Alabama beat Florida 17-14.
Of this year's game, Dr. Philpott says that there was some
good-natured kidding, but "no rubbing in." "I did not get real
upset about the loss, but some alumnae let me know they did-"
'In my relationship with Dr. Rose, I'll probably continue to
talk about how bad we're going to be and he will probably
continue to not believe me." Dr. Philpott likes to catch the
opponents off-guard.
I think Dr. Philpott is going to make a great Auburn man.
He's certainly got a War Eagle spirit.
