New Apartment Rule
A proposed change in Auburn's current "apartment rule,"
which was overwhelmingly appi >ved by students in Thursday's
all-campus elections, has beer vetoed by President Ralph
Draughon, the Plainsman learn* d yesterday.
President Draughon did not
make a statement concerning
his rejection of the proposed
rule, but he indicated that his
decision came as a result of
overwhelming parental disapproval
of the proposed change
which he received in response
to letters he sent to parents of
all women students asking their
opinion.
With the letter, Dr. Draughon
sent a copy of both the existing
and proposed rules, a standard
apartment permission blank,
and a self-addressed card' requesting
that parents' views on
the matter be returned to His
attSffice. *fflW" &f>
A spokesman at the President's
office said Monday that
fit that time 130 of the cards
had been received. "Of these,
122 parents had marked the
cards in favor of the existing
rule and eight supported a
change in the rule.
; President Draughon said that
Jthis overwhelming majority of
the cards indicated that parents
did not want students given
the lack of restriction which
they themselves want.
He added that in many instances,
letters accompanied the
post cards giving a more detailed
opinion of parents.- He
cited one letter from a mother

President Draughon's Letter
The following is a copy of President Draughon's letter to
parents of co-eds:
Dear Parent:
I need your help and advice on a very important matter to
you and to your daughter. There is, currently, a political
campaign under way among our students to change the existing
regulations governing visits by women students to the apartments
of men students.
On the attached page I have copied the existing rule as
now required by Auburn University, and the proposed change
in the rule as advocated by the political group in the Student
Body. The proposed changed rule has been copied from a
recent issue of the campus paper, The Plainsman.
For your further information, under the existing regulation,
each woman student who desires to visit a man student in
his apartment must have a special written permission from
the parents, and no chaperon is required if three couples are
present at all times during the visit. A copy of this special
permit is attached for your careful study.
It may be that I am wrong, but I feel that I have a tremendous
responsibility to the parents of our students insofar as their
conduct on this campus is concerned. Will you use the attached,
self-addressed card to indicate your wishes insofar as your
daughter is concerned. Simply check whether you favor the
retention of the existing rule, or whether you would favor the
proposed change, sign your name and drop the card in the mail.
Your serious consideration and cooperation will be deeply appreciated.
With all good wishes, I am
Most sincerely,
Ralph B. Draughon
President
Program Begun To Help Students
Who Are Confused, Frustrated
(This is the first of a two-part
series on mental health
prepared for The Plainsman
by Cathye McDonald and Harold
Harris.)
For a number of. Auburn
students, college has become a
time of confusion, frustration
and emotional difficulties.
Because of the increasing
amount of emotional difficulties
among college students today,
Auburn, alone with other colleges
and universities throughout.
the nation, has established a
mental health clinic and guidance
and counseling service to
help students with their emotional
problems.
Six to eight students per week
have problems that trouble
them so much that they must
talk with a psychiatrist who
comes weekly to the campus,
the Plainsman has learned, and
15 or more students daily seek
help from the student counseling
service for problems which
counselors agree are mostly
emotional in orgin.
Counselors, psychologists, and
a psychiatrist at Auburn agree
that there is more pressure and
tension among students today
than at almost any time during
the past. Much of this pressure
and tension, they say, is the
cause for many students' emotional
problems.
IDENTITY CRISIS
Many pressures and tensions
causing emotional difficulties
among Auburn students arise
out of the crisis of identity.
"The identity crisis occurs
when a student asks himself the
questions 'Who am I? 'What
am I doing at college?' 'What
do I want to do with my life?',"
said Dr. W. H. Grant, Auburn's
Student Counseling Service director.
"These questions hit
college students right between
the eyes and cause them much
turmoil and emotional disturbance,"
he said.
Many emotional problems
arising out of the crisis of
identity are caused by students'
questioning the accepted moral
and ethical values of their
church, family and home environment,
Dr. Grant said. And
many students choose rebellion
against their parents and the
college environment as a means
of establishing their own independence
in the identity crisis,
he commented.
ACADEMIC COMPETITION
Another problem which Auburn
students come up against
that causes emotional difficulties
and problems is the in-

'Optimism' Felt
Over 'Arena'
"Optimism" was expressed
by a state administrative official
yesterday over the proposed
education bill in the Alabama
Legislature which will provide
Auburn with a new spbrti?
arena.
The bill, part of a $115 million
education package now before
the Senate, has been halted
by a Senate filibuster which
reduced the amount to approximately
$111 million.
Rep. Albert Brewer, Speaker
of the House told the Plainsman
yesterday, "As you know, the
House felt several important
capital outlay provisions were
deleted and consequently they
refused to concur with that
Senate version in hopes of ironing
out the differences in a conference
committee.
"Senator Hawkins (President
Pro tem George C. Hawkins of
Gadsden who is presiding in the
absence of vacationing Lt. Gov.
Jim Allen) will appoint Senate
represenatives to the committee
today," Mr. Brewer continued.
"I can say, in short, that we
are extremely optimistic at this
point."
When reminded that the proposed
Auburn Sports Arena and
its fate is depending on the
bond issue, the Decatur legislator
remarked, "If for some
reason we are unable to secure

Absentee Bill
Is Proposed
A bill to permit absentee voting
by college students is awaiting
presentation in the Alabama
Senate this week.
Introduction of this bill has
been delayed by the filibuster
of the education bond issue in
the Senate.
Sponsored by Senator Dumas
of Jefferson County, the bill
will give the privilege of absentee
voting only to the college
students of the state of Alabama,
and will in no way affect
absentee voting for anyone
other than college students.
College students, as of now,
receive no special consideration
for absentee voting. They must
register for absentee voting and
must vote in the voting registrar's
office of their home precinct
within six weeks of the
election. This has proved to be
of little benefit for the college
students.

engagements, nor will there be
a collection of money."
RECEIVED MANY LETTERS
Dave Talbott, assistant to
Graham, said that Graham had
decided to come to Alabama and
accept the many invitations to
speak because of personal letters
he had received from Alabama
residents. "Many people
wrote, and said that he was of
great inspiration to them dur-in
the upheaval in Birmingham,"
Talbott added.
Graham has said that the
whole country must share the
blame for racial problems and
must not try to shove the responsibility
on one group of
people.
NO RIGHTS
"He will not make any mention
of civil rights, during his
address at Auburn, he will
simply preach the Gospel,"
Talbott concluded.
Millions of people have heard
the North Carolina native at
one time or another. An estimated
80,000,000 have heard
him in person in nearly every
state in the Union and some 60
foreign countries.
Graham is also scheduled to
i Yankee Pedler dress and L. Mayers belt
as worn by Chris Akin.
Olin L. Hill
make addresses in Dothan on
April 24 and 25, and a speech
in Tuscaloosa on April 26 will
immediately precede his appearance
at Auburn.
Immediately following the
address in Cliff Hare Stadium,
the Graham team will travel
by motorcade to Tuskegee for a
Tuesday evening speaking engagement
at Tuskegee Insit-tute.
NO CARS ASKED
Renneker suggests that those
planning to attend the program
not come by car if at all practical
in order to reduce the possibility
of a traffic snarl
Students and faculty members
are to be seated in seats
located in the horseshoe at the
south end of the Stadium and
may enter this area through
Gates Five and Six. Graham
will speak from a platform
adjacent to the south goal posts.
In addition to the sermon to
be delivered by Graham, other
members of the Graham team
will appear on the program.
Hymns will be directed by
Cliff Barrows, while George
Beverly Shea will sing two

Apartment Rule..
students are as old as I am, they
will be able to see that such a
rule would not have been good
for them."
"Although this seems to be a
very big thing to students now,
I feel that later on they will be
able to see the other side better,"
Dr. Draughon commented.
This marks the second time in
two years that a change in
apartment restrictions for women
students has been proposed
by students and rejected by the
President. This last change
was proposed by the Student
Senate and . endorsed by the
AWS, the Interfraternity Council,
and the Panhellenic Council.
The rule was also heavily endorsed
in a straw-ballot referendum
by students in Thursday's
elections.
Student Body President Bill
Renneker presented the proposed
rule change to President
Draughon for his consideration
Friday morning.
The new rule would have
permitted all girls with parental
permission, except first quarter
freshmen, to visit men's apartments
"without further restriction"
provided they followed
other rules concerning
their leaving the dormitories.
It would also have held men
students involved in violations
equally responsible with women
student violators.
In contrast, the old rule allows
only sophomore, junior
and senior women with permission
from home to visit men's
apartments, and requires that
three couples be present at all
times. It also holds men equally
responsible for violations.

INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL PLANS
COOPERATIVE BUYING PROGRAM
By BILL PENNINGTON
Plans are being adopted for a repeatedly suggested cooperative
food-buying program for the Interfraternity Countil, according
to Randy Partin, president, with a possible initiation date set
for this fall quarter.
"The cost of food on the
wholesale market today is believed
to be high, and quality is
often questionable," Partin said
in explaining the program. "It
is believed that the reduction in
the cost of food through this
volume bidding will allow
enough discount to cover the
overhead and reserve expenses
and leave a substantial amount
of money to pay house corporations,
pay debts in general, and
become financially healthier."
Each fraternity wishing to
join the program will be asked
to pay a small entrance fee to
make arrangements for starting
the program.
A certain percentage of each
month's total volume purchased
will cover overhead expenses,
another small percentage will
be paid into a reserve underwriting
insurance plan to insure
payment for purchases.
When each fraternity has reached
a reserve limit this later percentage
will be dropped, Partin
explained.
A central office with a full
time employee will be set up to
handle the individual fraternity
accounts and to make purchases.
The food will be ordered
through the University freezers
and lockers or through a bidding
system.
If the bidding system is
adopted, bids will be obtained
each quarter to determine the
lowest current bids from which
purchases are made. Delivery
will be made to each fraternity
house.
A joint IFC administrative
staff will govern the operation
of the cooperative system. The
members of this staff will be
the' President of the IFC, Dean
of Student Affairs, Chairman
of the Faculty Advisors Commission,
Treasurer of the IFC
and Chairman of the Cooperative
Committee. The purpose
of the presence of administrative
officials on the staff will
be to perpetuate the program.

creased academic competition.
This is a problem not only for
the less capable students but
for many of the extremely
bright students as well. "Many
OTHER ADDRESSES
straight-A students from local
high schools are badly jolted
when they find out that they
are just one of many such students
at Auburn, and may wind
up as C-students," said Dr.
Cecil Prescott, the psyciatrist
who comes once each week to
Auburn.
Many students' emotional
problems are caused by what
psychologists term an obsessive-compulsive
immobilization complex.
This occurs when a student
feels that he must establish
elaborate routines to get his
work done. He is so rigid psychologically
that if anything
prevents him from adhering to
his schedule he falls apart and
becomes emotionally upset.
Other problems and frustrations
are caused by a student
finding that he is in the wrong
curriculum. More academic
work than ever before is demanded
in most curricula, and
many students find that they
simply can not do the %ork assigned
to them and that they
are disinterested and unen—
thusiastic about doing it if they

can. Counselors agree that "I
do not know what I want to do,
but this is not it" is the most
common statement these students
make. Many emotional
difficulties in this field are
relieved when students change
curricula after consulting with
their parents and a counselor.
Dating and sexual problems
are other sources of frustration
and difficulty among students,
according to Dr. Ernest Op-penheimer,
a psychologist and
counselor in the guidance service.
"Every college student, has
sexual problems whether he inwardly
admits it or not," said
Dr. Oppenheimer."
"There is so much emotion
and repression pertaining to
sex that some students are
bound to have emotional problems
when they come into contact
with the rather relaxed
sexual standards on campuses
today. Maturity in dating and
adjusting to sexual problems is
perhaps the most neglected
area of a student's education."
Auburn students' emotional
distresses take on a variety of
other forms. Increasingly, now-days,
counselors and psychologists
see symptoms as headaches,
fatigue, overweight, and
forgetfulness. "Students now-days
tend to translate their
anxieties and frustrations into
tension headaches and Other
psychosomatic illnesses," Dr.
Oppenheimer stated.
2 Organizations
Seek Charters
Two campus organizations
are currently drawing up constitutions
for approval by the
Student Organization Committee
and the Student Senate.
The' Auburn Young Democrats
Club is being redesigned
to allow for a broader cross section
of Democratic views, according
to a spokesman for the
group, and a constitution will
be submitted for approval. The
previous Y o u n g Democrats
Club's charter was suspended
recently for violation of University
rules regulating such
organizations.
The purpose of the YD Club
is to promote interests and purposes
of Democrats on the Auburn
campus, the spokesman
said, and any liberal, conservative,
or moderate Democrat is
welcome to join the group.
A new organization, the Auburn
Human Relations Council
has been formed for the purpose
of improving relationships between
students of different
background through education
and stimulation of thought and
discussion.
In accordance with the Student
Body Constitution, if their
constitutions are approved, both
organizations will be on probation
for a year before they may
obtain a regular charter. During
this time, they will be allowed
to operate under a temporary
charter.
Glom Workshop
Planned April 29
A workshop for the 1966
Glomerata staff will be held
April 28-29 in the Union Building.
The workshop is designed
to orientate all new.staff members
on every aspect of publishing
the Glomerata, so that
work for next year's edition
may begin immediately, instead
of next fall quarter, according
to Benjamin Spratling, new
Glom editor. A new staff will
be appointed by the time this
w o r k s h o p begins, Spratling
said.
Everyone who is interested in
working on next year's Glom is
urged to apply for a staff position;
experience is not neces-
'sary. Applications can be made
in the afternoon at the Glomerata
office on the second floor
of the Union Building.
'LEGS' Program
To Aid Students
The Student Counseling Service
has launched a new group-aid
program called LEGS,
Learning Enrichment Groups.
"These are n o t remedial
groups just for students who
are failing, but are provided to
enhance the learning of all
students," according to Dr. W.
H. Grant, Director of the Student
Counseling Service. "We
now have students participating
with average from 'A' to
'D\ from various curricula,
from seniors to freshmen, girls
and boys."
The activities of each group
are structured to satisfy the
members of that particular
group. Topics during the past
two quarters have included
"Who or What is God?", "Can
I Be Creative?", "When is Sex
Moral?", "How Do I Impress
You?", and a variety of others.
The sessions started with one
group last fall. There will be
eight groups this spring. Each
group meets once each week for
two hours. There are groups
meeting e a c h day Monday
through Thursday. Some are
scheduled from 1:00 to 3:00
p.m.; others from 3:00 to 5:00
p.m.
Any student interested in
LEGS, should apply at the Student
Counseling Service, 305-
318 Martin Hall.

By solving problems in astronautics, Air Fores
scientists expand man's knowledge of the universe. Lt. Howard McKinley, M.A.
tells about research careers on the Aerospace Team.
(Lt. McKinley holds degrees in electronics and electrical
engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology
and the Armed Forces Institute of Technology.
He received the 1963 Air Force Research & Development
Award for his work with inertial guidance
components. Here he answers some frequently-asked
questions about the place of college-trained men and
women in the U.S. Air Force.)
Is Air Force research really advanced, compared to
what others are doing? It certainly is. As a matter of
fact, much of the work being done right now in universities
and industry had its beginnings in Air Force
research and development projects. After all, when
you're involved in the development of guidance systems
for space vehicles-a current Air Force project
in America's space program—you're working on the
frontiers of knowledge.
What areas do Air Force scientists get involved in?
Practically any you can name. Of course the principal
aim of Air Force research is to expand our aerospace
capability. But in carrying out this general purpose,
individual projects explore an extremely wide range
of topics. "Side effects" of Air Force research are
often as important, scientifically, as the main thrust.
How important is the work a recent graduate can
expect to do? It's just as important and exciting as his
own knowledge and skill can make it. From my own
experience, I can say that right from the start I was
doing vital, absorbing research. That's one of the
things that's so good about an Air Force career-it
gives young people the chance to do meaningful work
in the areas that really interest them.
What non-scientific jobs does the Air Force offer?
Of course the Air Force has a continuing need for
rated officers-pilots and navigators. There are also
many varied and challenging administrative-managerial
positions. Remember, the Air Force is a vast and
complex organization. It takes a great many different
kinds of people to keep it running. But there are two
uniform criteria: you've got to be intelligent, and
you've got to be willing to work hard.
What sort of future do I have in the Air Force? Just
as big as you want to make it. In the Air Force, talent
has a way of coming to the top. It has to be that way,
if we're going to have the best people in the right
places, keeping America strong and free.
What's the best way to start an Air Force career? An
excellent way—the way I started-is through Air Force
Officer Training School. OTS is a three-month course,
given at Lackland Air Force Base, near San Antonio,
Texas, that's open to both men and women. You can
apply when you're within 210 days of graduation, or
after you've received your degree.
How long will I be committed to serve? Four years
from the time you graduate from OTS and receive
your commission. If you go on to pilot or navigator
training, the four years starts when you're awarded
your wings.
Are there other ways to become an Air Force officer?
There's Air Force ROTC, active at many colleges
and universities, and the Air Force Academy, where
admission is by examination and Congressional appointment.
If you'd like more information on any Air
Force program, you can get it from the Professor of
Aerospace Studies (if there's one on your campus) or
from an Air Force recruiter.

Disappointment On The Apartment Rule
President Ralph B. Draughon's veto
of the proposed apartment rule comes
as no surprise to anyone close to the
situation. It has been evident that few
changes will take place under the present
administration.
President Draughon indicated that his
decision was based on overwhelming
parental disapproval of the new rule.
His letter, to parents, however (printed
elsewhere in the paper) and the return
post card were worded in such a way
that it would have been hard for any
parent to approve the new rule.
The copy of the new rule sent with
his letter even left out the requirements
for signing out of the dorm.
We are disappointed, of course, that
the new rule did not pass. It had the
backing of the Student Senate, Associated
Women Students, the Interfra-ternity
Council, the Panhellenic Council
and the overwhelming backing of the
student body.
Even the Auburn City Council said
publicly that university rules are the
business of the university as long as
there is no trouble.
We regret that the student body must
continue to live under an unrealistic,
unenforceable rule. Students, right or
wrong, will continue to date in apartments,
and the university will continue
to catch only those unfortunate few
who stumble into university hands.
President Draughon has not chosen
to make a statement concerning his
personal views on the apartment rule
or on rules in general. We invite him,
through the columns of this newspaper,
to make such a statement.
Perhaps the President has thought of
a few points which the student body
cannot see. In any case, students need
to know, and have a right to know, administrative
thinking on such matters.
Many changes are needed in the
structure of the very important rules
governing the student body. An understanding
needs to be reached between
administration and students.
Simple But Effective
It is'seldom that a person of the Rev.
Billy Graham's stature visits the Auburn
campus. We bid him a most hearty
welcome.
Dr. Graham is coming into Alabama
at a time in our history when racial
conflict and all.its side effects have
caused many to lose perspective, and to
forget the real issues. '•
Rev. Graham takes a simple but effective
stand on the racial issue: "Love
thy neighbor as thyself." This is a
doctrine to which both sides of the
conflict pay lip service, but seldom follow
in practice.
This doctrine may be applied to
many more situations than simply the
racial issue, and it must be observed
that Dr. Graham is not here to preach
any sort of racial line.
We have here the rare opportunity
to walk across campus to hear a man
others have traveled hundreds of miles
to hear. We should take advantage of
the opportunity.
Let Students Vote Absentee
We strongly urge passage of a bill
now ready for presentation to the state
legislature to allow, absentee voting for
students.
t • i
Under present rules, the student
must either go home to vote on election
day or request to be put on an "absentee"
list which still requires him to go
home five to twenty days before the
election. •2M
Absentee voting by mail is now permitted
only for soldiers and those too
sick to go to the polls.
The new bill would allow absentee
voting by mail for all college students.
Few students are able to take a full
day off to vote, especially since elections
tend to come in the middle of the
quarter. Students who live several
hundred miles away may have to take
more than one day.
It is much easier simply to avoid voting
than it is to go through the complicated
process now in effect. One vote
can seem insignificant in the light of a
day missed from school.
College students form one of the
more enlightened groups of the voting
public. Rather than discouraging them
from voting, the way should be made
as easy as possible.
Students And Mental Health
The Plainsman begins a series this
week on student mental problems.
Many will probably be surprised to
learn that Auburn has available professional
help to deal with such problems,
including a psychiatrist who pays
weekly visits to the campus.
Surprising also is the number of
students who seek help for their problems
from the student counseling service.
Mental strain on a college campus is
nothing to be ashamed of. The tensions
and frustrations of college life, coupled
with outside pressures, are very often
too much for the developing mind to
bear. Nearly every facet of a person's
mental and emotional existence is tested
in college.
We definitely don't suggest using the
counseling service for every flunked
quiz or broken romance, but it is good
to know that someone is there when the
going gets rough.
Editor's Views
Public Criticism Forgets
Responsibility Of Press
By Don Phillips
The concept of the American press held by
many Americans is not only disturbing, it's
frightening. There seems to be a generally held idea that all
newspapers are biased on controversial subjects and that all news
stories are written accordingly.
Recent racial stories are a good example. People, north and
south, "knew" what was going
on in Selma and Montgomery
and nothing printed or said
would change their minds. Any
newspaper which printed facts
contrary to preconceived notions
was "lying."
It is true that bad reporting
creeps into newspapers all too
often, mainly because newsmen
are human beings and subject
to human faults. But mistakes
of any consequence are rare,
and deliberate falsehood is all
but nonexistant.
One of the greatest problems
faced by newsmen is that they
are expected to be superhuman,
not only by the public but by
their editors. They are expected
to be everywhere at once, taking
down every quote with implicit
accuracy, seeing everything
no matter how spread out
the story may be.
In such a strain, the newsman
must simply report the
facts as they come to him. He
very often has no time for
depth reporting.
Another problem facing reporters
is the law, especially
the laws of libel.
These are good laws which
basically say that the reporter
must have concrete, provable
facts before printing a story.
The reporter may know a. great
deal more than he can print,
simply because he can't prove
what he knows to be fact.
Criticism of reporting comes
mostly from people who have
no real concept of what news is.
Among these are the people
who say, "Why don't they print
something good about us?"
A basic unchangeable fault
of spot news coverage is that
only the unusual is news. As
one reporter friend put it, when
two windows are broken out of
~a U.S. embassy someplace,
that's news. It isn't news that
75 windows haven't b e en
broken in the,last year.
This was the problem In Selma
and Montgomery. Good
things were printed, but the
news was in the demonstrations.
One problem which newspapers
can't seem to shake is that
the general public tends to lump
them together with radio and
television. The difference here
is that the press does its best
to print the news in an unbiased
and fair manner, while
radio and TV have more of a
flair for the dramatic and sensational.
The real loser, of course, is
the reporter. He must suffer
through the story, listen to his
editor complain and then take
more abuse f r o m the public
while looking for the next story.
This is the same public which
should be grateful that they are
the best informed in the world.
A Firmer Stand . . .
Apathy, Appeasement
Is Not American Way
By Charley Majors
Well, it sure is a bad situation . . . We
need to do something over there . . . It's in
the papers so much that I pay little attention to it anymore . . .
These are some typical reactions of Americans toward the
fighting in Viet Nam. Every day that the crisis continues, apathy
in the United States increases. People skip over the front-page
articles on Viet Nam as though
it will "go away if we ignore
it."
Seemingly, it is no longer of
interest that nine or ten or
twenty Americans might have
been killed by Viet Congs yesterday.
The fact that 343 Americans
have given their life in
Viet Nam since December,
1961, for the defense of democratic
principles goes virtually
unnoticed.
Many people feel that the
situation is one for which there
is no solution and so they forget
about it. They see no need in
keeping informed on progress
or digression in Southeast Asia.
Excitement is aroused occasionally
by our attacks on North
Viet Nam or Russia's threat to
enter the war; but everyday
massacres of American soldiers
are accepted as nothing unusual.
Never before have we Americans
allowed anyone to push us
so far. Never before has the
United States lowered itself
from the great power it is to
the apathetic, appeasing role
which it now plays in Southeast
Asia.
We stand on a pledge to the
defense of the free nations of
Southeast Asia against Communism.
We carry out air attacks
on sites in North Viet Nam
i^i partial retaliation of their repeated
guerilla warfare against
the South Vietnamese and
American forces.
We do a good job of standing
up to the threat of Communist
domination of Asia . . . sometimes.
But most of the time,
the constant pressure of this
war becomes too much for us.
The U.S. government tries to
negotiate with the Communists;
t h e American public just
ignores the problem.
However, while negotiations
are discussed and while American
apathy increases, the Russians
build up a supply of
ground-to-air missiles outside
Hanoi and offer to send volunteers
into North Viet Nam if
the U.S. continues retaliation.
We cannot afford to lose Viet
Nam. Neither can we afford to
take a slack attitude about the
war there in hopes that it can
be settled somewhat like the
Korean Conflict or the Cuban
crisis. The Communists gained
too much by negotiations in
those cases.
The United States must take
a firmer stand in Viet Nam, not
one of mere retaliation but of
total defense of democracy in
Southeast Asia.

Unsung Heroes Moved
Large Turnout To Polls
By Mary Whitley
The interest and ingenuity of a single Au-burn
coed may well have changed the course
of local political campaign and election history (while in the
meantime made liars of us all.)
Last week, Frances Collins, a vivacious, charming coed from
Memphis took matters into her own hands and came up with
a possible solution.
Realizing that candidates for
major student body offices and
Miss Auburn wouldn't receive
an opportunity to speak to Auburn's
independent women students,
she did more than just
think about it. Frances decided
to contact the proper officials
and to give her plan a
a try.
She spoke with Miss Mary
Bradley assistant Dean of
Women, AWS President Sher-rill
Williams, Superintendent of
Political Affairs Harry Hooper
and received favorable reaction.
The next step was convincing
the members of AWS in order
to get their cooperation. She
presented her plan, got their
unanimous support and the
wheels began to turn.
On Monday, April 12, 1965,
candidates for the major Student
Body Offices and the position
of Miss Auburn were given
their only opportunity to speak
publicly to Auburn's independent
women.
Frances proposed and organized
the series of meetings, contacted
the candidates; and a r ranged
for them to meet simultaneously.
Candidates for each
office spoke together and then
moved on to the next dorm
where a meeting had been
scheduled.
The plan was received enthusiastically
by students and
candidates alike.
Frances' plan affected the
vote of over 1500 women students
(which comprised over
3/8 of this year's voter turnout.)
The election outcome was, no
doubt, directly influenced by
the candidates appearances the
night of April 12.
There are others like Frances
Collins who are responsible for
a mass effort encouraging student
body election interest.
These are the people who
"moved" over 40 per cent of
the student body in the direction
of the polls last Thursday.
It was Auburn's largest voter
turnout in the last 10 years.
Although it did not "break the
record" (which is reported to
have been set in the early 50's
when over half the student
body went to the polls) it is
an indication that apathy and
lack of concern are not unconr
querable.
To Frances Collins and Auburn's
other unsung heroes and
heroines of the 1965 political
campaign a sincere "thank you"
for a job well done.

Water, Water Everywhere,
But What About Humans?
By Harry Hooper
I saw an old film interview not so long
ago taken of a man who had been rescued
f X n T I ^ I ^ n T T e n n e s s e e River. The film was old and cracked.
It had been taken in the early thirties. With unadorned English
he told his story of raging, foaming, and swirling waters that
seemed to have no end.
ant colonies, rats, and small
animals float alongside planks
paper, and foam. And for those
creatures that fail to find land
or a log the only alternative is
to ride the current until nature
sees fit to deposit their bloated,
dead bodies.
The man in the film interview
had many of his future
flood problems solved by the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
Those who are at this moment
fighting the mighty Mississippi
are fighting a river largely
tamed by the Army Corps of
Engineers. Had not this work
been done the plight of those
who live beside the great river
would be one thousand times
worse.
Man's ability to control and
protect himself from natural
disaster is great. The time may
come when almost all natural
disaster can be prevented or
predicted so that most lives and
property can be saved. The
TVA is an example of flood
control at its best. And the time
many come when "old man
river" will go "rolling along"
at the explicit instructions of
the Army Corps of Engineers.
Man is really a very intelligent
animal. That's why it is
hard to understand why he
can't spend more time and effort
to do something about the
greatest natural disaster of all—
the one that kills, maims, and
destroys the most—man himself.
He was not an old man. He
was unshaven and shaggy, wet
hair clung to an expressionless
forehead. The man was telling
how he had seen his three children
slip one by one into the
rushing, brown waters as it
lapped higher and higher over
his stone house.
At last, he said, the water
tore his wife's hand from the
house and he watched her sink
beneath the waters. When his
own hands lost their hold he
also was swept into the water
expecting a similar fate. He
had been saved by Coast
Guardsmen patrolling the area
in a small boat.
The man turned from the interviewer

Prosperous Times
Must Not Obscure
Basis For Freedom
By Jerry Brown
Twenty years have passed
since they left Normandy and
Iwo Jima for the bright lights
of the homeland, f o r sweethearts
waiting and mothers.
There was much joy in this
c o u n t r y as
t h e luckier
lads returned.
T h e re
was much to
be b u i l t -
and to build
u p o n . The
war was ancient
history
e x c e p t for
t h o s e who
s t i l l were
limping from the grape or those
who awakened in the night
screaming in too real dreams of
the horror.
A constructive peace settled
over the land as the boom of
sweet security waxed strong.
There was Vaughn Monroe and
a young Frank Sinatra; there
was a beer with an army buddy
and a laugh at the old joke
about waistlines and old soldiers
fading away; the girl next
door image came back. The parades
for "Johnny came marching
home" melted into the fervor
of the new life.
Truman took his regular
morning walk and defended the
pearly voice of Margaret. The
Democrats started talking about
Adlai Stevenson and the Republicans
thought that Harold
Stassen was another Abraham
Lincoln.
Not long after Nuremburg,
people asked "Is Hitler really
dead?"
Einstein was no longer the
boy who had failed high school
mathematics; he was the mind
of the age.
Things were looking |up for
the whole world.
There was still a little) unrest
in the United States as-pinko-ism
was smelled out in | one of
t h e newer political parties.
Strom Thurmond was a Dixie-crat
then, or was he?
Some .blonde named Marilyn
Monroe was about to trip onto
the stage with a new and "different"
look to the sex-movie
star image. Calendar sales began
to pick up.
Business for pediatrician was
booming too. Sociologists started
making hypothesis , as to
what was going to take place
when all the babies became old
enough for college, but nobody
listened. They just kept having
babies and more babies.
Baseball bounced back. Joe
DiMaggio filled the niche left
by the "Sultans of Swat," Babe
Ruth, and Lou Gehrig. The
Yankees were winning, always
winning. Strains of "Take Me
Out To The B a l l Game"
brought crowds swarming to
stadiums, either that or listening
to Mel Allen or Harry Carey.
Radio reached its peak with
"Fibber Magee a n d MoUy,"
"Amos and Andy" or "George
Burns and Gracie Allen." The
country folk spent Saturday
nights in the summer out oh
front porches listening to Roy
Acuff and Mamma Maybelle
Carter on the Grand Ole Opry.
The voices of Lowell Thomas
saying "So long until tomorrow,"
and John Cameron Sway-ze,
Gabriel Heater, and Edward
R. Murrow brought in the "big"
news, while "Walter Winchell,'
your news boy for 40 years,"
was still ageless.
All this has sounded like another
nostalgic c h a p t e r in
"That Wonderful Year." Perhaps
it has been a good period
we h a v e remembered. We
would like to think so.
But there is a shade of wrong
in surveying this era with misty
eyes and reminiscence alone.
We have forgotten how it all
came about.
It was born out' of a horrible
holocaust. The man who limps
from the grape of Guadalcanal
remembers just a little further;
the graying mother without
grandchildren probably s t i ll
cries some.
To paraphrase from Ruppert
Brooke, "There is some corner
of a foreign field that is forever
ours." It has been bought by
those who have died for freedom.
And I must say that this
concept, however sentimental
and overemotionalized it might
seem, will never be trite. We
must not let it be.
Twenty years a r e passed
away and the time for parades
and rejoicing is long past.
"We have promises to keep
and miles to go before we
sleep." s
Letters to the Editor
Brown Column Doubted
By Faculty Member
Some questions raised by Mr.
Jerry Brown's column of April
16: What is the name of the
Communist School where Dr.
Martin Luther King is alleged
to have been photographed?
What would his presence there
indicate?
In order to weigh the opinions
of Mr. Truman (that Dr.
King is a troublemaker) and
Mr. Hoover (that he is a notorious
liar) as Mr. Brown recommends,
don't we need to know
the reasons given by those gentlemen
for these opinions, if
indeed they gave any?
Where were the non-Klans-men,
the conscientious native
sons Mr. Brown mentions, they
of the quiet farms and small
towns, these 100 years? In
Church listening to sermons on
voting rights for all?
What do you do when you
don't get to exercise your right
to vote? Wait for native sons
to make it possible?
Law and order? In a democracy,
if that term isn't naive,
wouldn't law and order serve
to protect each adult citizen's
right to cast his ballot?
When the federal government
•is obliged to take over part of a
state's law and order function,
is there not a trend toward centralization?
How ironic.

King Would Be Naked
If He Really Boycotted
•Editor, the Plainsman:
Martin Luther King's economic
boycott of Alabama
should prove to be very interesting.
If King himself decides
to comply with this proposal it
will be fine.
For one thing, he'll have to
halt his marches and other invasions
of the South. This is,
unless he can arrange for the
President to airlift goods from
other states to his followers
stranded in Alabama. For
another thing, he'll have to stay
out"'of government cars—they
might' be made from Bessemer
steel. He'll definitely have to
quit wearing clothes, for fear
of donning some Alabama textiles.
He won't even be able to
solve racial tensions on the
moon someday for fear of riding
an Alabama-made rocket. His
followers will have to quit donating
pinewood caskets to the
state for fear that they might
be using Alabama pinewood.
So, hext time you see a naked
Martin Luther King walking
through the streets of Selma
waiting for his "foreign airlift"
(which may never come if
they take Alabama bauxite out
of the aluminum in airplanes),
have a good laugh and realize
that this fanatic has finally
gone off the deep end.

Vet Student Urges
Rabies Control Methods
Editor, The Plainsman:
Reference is made to Mr.
Castile's article on the Auburn
Dog Ordinance in your April
16th edition.
Rabies is a disease caused by
a virus which attacks the nervous
system. The only outcome
of those affected is death after
some agonizing clinical signs
Both man and animals are affected,
so the disease presents
a problem to Public Health. The
virus is harbored mainly in wild
carnivora and possibly packs of
"wild" dogs. No doubt many of
you have heard about the treat'
ment for man who has been
bitten by a rabid dog.
My class in Veterinary Medi
cine recently saw some films
(old ones, fortunately) of children
dying of rabies, and believe
me they weren't a very
pleasant sight.
Any method of control to
prevent this dread disease from
occurring is certainly better
than public apathy and sporadic
outbreaks of rabies.

Entertainment Planners
Editor, the Plainsman:
Auburn's annual Village Fair
was a complete success this
year. We had a fine turnout of
high school students and a good
many college students too.
There were numerous exhibitions
and displays that were
both interesting and informative.
The organizers and the
participating organizations did a
good job in making the Fair the
success that it was.
The one point where it was
sadly lacking was in the entertainment
provided at the Festival
Saturday night in Cliff
Hare stadium. The "Four Freshmen"
are a good group, but the
trouble is that they, as the contemporary
song goes, "have
been 'Four Freshmen' for about
ten thousand years." This group
was completely out of context at
Village Fair. They were more
suited to a nightclub full of
older people, than to a stadium
full of high school and college
kids.
The main purpose of having
any entertainment at all was
because of the visiting high
school kids, so why couldn't we
have a group that would have
been more apropo, like the
"Four Seasons" or the "Beach
boys," or some popular folk
singing group? Half the high
school s t u d e n t s probably
thought the 'Four Freshmen'
were a local group from Mag
Dorms. I think that the college
kids would have enjoyed a more
contemporary group also.
Why can't Auburn secure
some really outstanding entertainers,
some that would appeal
to our present tastes? "The
Lettermen" last year were fabulous;
why can't we get entertainers
on this level? Even if
we had to pay admission to get
in, it would be worth it to have
some high class entertainment
Let's get with it Entertainment
Committee, or some of you new
Student Government officers.

Junior Counselors Program
Provides Service, Fulfillment
By TERRENCE LEWIS
With the naming of junior counselors for 1965-66 at Honors
Convocation Monday, a new group of girls embarked on an
exciting program which is ending its second year at Auburn.
The junior counselor program,
which provides for
junior girls to live in residence
at the five freshman girls
dorms, is an idea borrowed from
Florida State University. It is
sponsored by AWS and headed
by Miss G. R. Calhoun.
Purpose of the program is to
provide freshmen coeds with
counselors for the many problems
that arise in their first
year at Auburn.
The problems — They range
from proper temperature settings
for an iron to difficult
personal problems encountered
by the freshmen.
Girls presently serving as
junior counselors have expressed
great enthusiasm for
their position. Julie C. Bland,
junior counselor in Auburn
Hall, cited personal satisfaction,
the opportunity to understand
and deal with varying types of
people, and the chance to understand
themselves better, as
some of the gains of participating
in such a program.
Reader's Theatre
Presents Program
The "Spirit and Substance of
Poetry," a short informal program
of readings to be presented
by the Reader's Theatre of
t h e Speech Department on
April 27 at 7:30 p.m. in Biggin
Hall Basement Auditorium, will
explore the thoughts of many
modern poets about poetry. Selections
from their works will
highlight the individual ideas
of such poets as Robert Frost,
T. S. Eliot, Carl Sandburg, Gerard
Manley Hopkins, Thomas
Hardy, W. B. Yeats, A. E. Hous-man,
Dylan Thomas, E. E.
Cummings, and Lawrence Fer-linghetti.
Believing that the best comment
on a poem is the poem itself,
the program will be an attempt
to investigate the nature
and function of poetry through
oral performance. "The Spirit
and Substance of Poetry" is directed
by Professor John Gray
of the Speech Department. The
readers will be Barbara Bryant,
Kelly Collum, Ginger Barba-rousse,
Frank Blodgett, Joyce
Horton, and Betty Blodgett.
Everyone is invited and no admission
will be charged.
One of Dorm Nine's counselors
said that problems expected
to arise in their own
personal lives — such as
living with younger girls,
studying detachment from sorority
ties — either failed to
materialize or were solved.
Freshman girls interviewed
also expressed great enthusiasm
toward the program. They felt
that the counselors had been a
definite help in their adjustment
to cqllege life. They also
expressed high opinions of the
counselors as individuals.
Outstanding sophomores are
recommended to the Office of
the Dean of Women as candidates
for Junior counselors.
These girls are notified and
given the opportunity to apply
for the position.
A staff committee and a student
committee, made up of
former junior counselors, and
other women leaders, review
the applications; They make
their choice on the basis of
character, personality, integrity,
and interest in Auburn and its
students.
As in any new program, there
are problems. For example,
there are only two junior counselors
in Dorms Nine and Ten.
This works a hardship on the
junior counselors in residence,
and freshmen are not able to
get the full benefit of the program.
Reasons for these vacancies
are multiple. Some of the counselors
move to renew social affiliations
prior to graduation,
others move because they become
married, and still others
have to drop out of school for
various reasons. When this
happens, there are gaps left at
certain dorms such as Dorm
Nine and Ten. In entirety,
however, the program runs
smoothly, doing a job deemed
vital by the persons it serves.
As-Auburn grows, the need
for girls to fill these jobs will
increase. Most of them will
come from girls who were
formerly served by the program
and have first hand knowledge
of the program.

GERALD RUTBERG . . .
A DREAM ABOUT TO COME TRUE . . .
A dream comes true for coach Luther Young in two weeks,
as Auburn University hosts the SEC tennis championships for
the first time in school history.
In the past, the Loveliest Village has always declined the
host's role which rotates each year from campus to campus on
a voluntary basis. Tiger officials however, got together and
decided it was high-time for Auburn to place added emphasis
on the booming net sport.
Some of the best players in the Southeastern region will
battle it out for honors and while Auburn's non-scholarship
squad is not expected to be a contender; the giving of 110 per
cent in every match by each member of the team has been
a feature of the current campaign and could result in some
tourney surprises.
It is hoped that playing host to the matches will stimulate
intercollegiate interest in tennis on the Auburn campus, and
coach Young sees it as having nothing but good benefits for
the future Tiger program.
"When they see the brand of tennis that others are playing,
they might want to play the same kind. The tournament is
bound to rouse intercollegiate interest."
Coach Young is definitely referring to varsity competition
for if you have ever tried to get a court on a Saturday or
Sunday in the spring or early fall you know that the game
does not suffer for players. Many a.fraternity pledge has been
dispatched to the courts at sunrise with orders to hold a court
until the brothers manage to unrack and make their grand
appearance.
Mississippi State Favored . . .
Mississippi State and Tulane are expected to battle for the
team title and the SEC championship. Tulane, conference doormat
in other athletic areas, took the tennis title last year. At
one time, the SEC tennis tournament was annually held in New
Orleans, and the Greenies have long dominated the sport.
State however, is so loaded with talent that last year's SEC
number one singles champion, Maroon Graham Primrose, has
been forced to play in the second slot this year. Sophomore
Robert ^rian, an import from Australia has captured the number
one seed on the Starkville squad. Primrose is also from the
land "down under" while State's number three and four players
were recruited from South America.
"It's a tossup between Mississippi State and Tulane," says
Young, tennis coach at Auburn for 19 years. "In an individual
match State appears strongest, but in a tournament you can't
tell. It might depend on the draw. Georgia will definitely
run third to these two teams, unless Tulane and Mississippi
State cut each others throats. Tennessee might nose out Florida
for fourth. The Gators are a little weaker this year," he adds.
Grand Larceny In Atlanta . . .
In Atlanta, the whole community is buzzing over the 1966
arrival of the Atlanta Braves, the South's first major league
baseball. team. This is good news for Auburn as student followers
of the diamond sport will have an opportunity to see
the best in the business by making a short hop to Atlanta.
Major league baseball is long overdue in Dixie, but we are
flatly DISGUSTED with the way in which our "national pastime"
will arrive.
The Braves' management, smelling that green stuff all the
way up to their hip pockets, has committed grand larceny on
the city of Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is, and has been,
a good baseball city deserving of a major league team. Atlanta
(and that good old television cash) is also deserving of major
league ball, however the South should not have to shove its
entry through the back door. That's strictly bush league
in this corner, but such action is typical of the decaying state
of our "national pastime."
Actually, baseball is not the number one sport in Dixie
at the present time. Football reigns as king of the Southland.
Major league ball in Atlanta may stimulate greater diamond
interest but the excitement and explosiveness of the gridiron
sport has captured the imagination of modern Dixie.
Baseball has long been afforded special consideration in
most corners. A truly great sport, the diamond game has
only once in its history been tarnished by any sort of player
scandal. Bill Veech ("Veech as in Wreck") and others have
however, opened people's eyes to the manipulations and shady
dealings which have characterized baseball's dollar sign managements
in recent years.
We rarely like to move out of the area of Auburn and intercollegiate
athletics, but let us go on record as saying the
Braves' impending move bodes nothing but future evil, and discredit
for what once was America's own great game.
Nixmen Face Bulldogs
In 'Do-Or-Die' Series
By RON MUSSIG
Friday the Auburn baseball team travels to Athens
for a two game do-or-die series with Georgia. To maintain
their SEC Eastern Division title hopes, the Tigers
must down the Georgians twice.
The Plainsmen dropped the Bulldogs twice in Auburn
by scores of 4-3 and 6-1. Georgia
coach Jim Whatley's top
sluggers in the series were Bob
O'Callaghan, who was three for
three in the first game and one
in three for the second, and Bob
Etter who collected three hits in
seven tries.
HOPES SOAR
Since their visit to Plainsman
Park, the Georgia nine has
beaten the Eastern Division
front runners, Florida once, and
have improved considerably.
Tiger title hopes soared two
weeks ago when the Bulldogs

Alabama College
Auburn netters travel to Macon,

match here for their first
season win.
FALL TO TIDE
After losing to Alabama 3-6
last week, the Tigers will be attempting
to drop Mercer for the
second time Thursday. Monday
afternoon, they host Alabama
College here at 1:30 on the tennis
courts. Alabama College's
squad was defeated by Auburn
in Montevallo 8-1.
The Tigers now sport a 3-5
record for the season, with
Charles Frye, Bill Crane, and
Eddie Williamson collecting the
majority of the wins.
Two more matches remain
after the Alabama College contest,

Pete McKenzie (.324), Scotty
Long (.265), and Dink Haire

the necessary batting punch in
Athens.
STARTING HURLERS
Coach Paul Nix is expected
to start either Monte Sharpe
(5-1), Jimmy Crysel (3-1), or
Don Hand (1-1) in the two
games against the Athens based
nine.
The Tigers will be at home
next Friday and Saturday for
two games with the University
of Florida. These games could
be the deciding factor in the
SEC Eastern Division race if
the Gators and Tigers can go
into the games with no more
losses than they have today.

by scores of 13-4 and 23-9.
The Plainsmen baseballers
came to Nashville on Friday afternoon
claiming, a record of
eight wins and four losses.
They immediately pushed the
record to nine wins when they
proceeded to embarrass the
Commodores by the score of
13-4.
SHARPE TOP HURLER
Montie Sharpe was Coach
Nix's mainstay on the pitching
mound on Friday, with Larry
Hartley in relief. Both Sharpe
and Hartley were above par in
their pitching chores as they
held the Commodores to only
four runs. Ralph Wells was out-

standing batter for the Plains-Long followed in Fryer's footmen,
smacking one homer and
scoring t h r e e runs. Montie
Sharpe also batted efficiently,
scoring two runs with three
hits.
On Saturday, the Tigers returned
to give the hapless Commodores
t h e worst beating
scorewise they had ever suffered.
FOUR BLAST OFF
Ronnie Baynes, Harry Doles,
Pete McKenzie, and Frank Fryer
connected f o r home runs.
Fryer was also unusually dexterous
in his batting, scoring
four runs on four hits. Scotty
steps as he scored three runs
on three hits.
HAND HURLS
The pitching in Saturday's
outing was done by Don Hand,
with relief by Jerry Lewter,
who was credited with the victory.
The defeat of Vanderbilt put
the Tigers another step closer
to the Eastern Division championship
in wins, as well as in
team improvement. The Tigers
now boast an overall record of
10 wins and four losses, and a
conference record of seven wins
and two losses.
Foster (880), Jim Smith (330
high hurdles), and Gator Williams
(two mile run) all nailed
down first place honors.
Alabama received 15 of their
points through the efforts of
Warren Hardy who finished
first in the shot put, the javelin,
and the discus.
ANDERSON OUT
Although Auburn has one of
the • conference's b e s t relay
teams, Coach Rosen elected to
forfeit this event to the Tide as
the Tigers had the meet well
in hand. Furthermore, the Tiger's
ace two miler, John Anderson,
who has previously won
this event in two meets this
year was shelved by the intense
heat and dropped out of the
race.
Rosen said he was happy

Gatorland. Both teams have
met and lost to FSU, Auburn
by 45 points, and Florida by 28.
In this comparison, the Floridians
are about 20 points
stronger than the Plainsmen.
Florida has a 5-1 dual meet
thus far for the season, while
the Tigers are 2-1. Last year,
the Gators fell to coach Rosen's
tracksters by a score of 83-52.
Coach Rosen remarked that,
"It will take a good effort on
the part of our boys to win the
meet." The Gators t o p performers
will probably be John
Anderson in the 100 and 220
dashes, Jim Brown in the 440
and 880, and David Wilson in
the mile and two mile.

The relays, according to coach

are the broad and triple jumps,

Table Tennis Squad
Takes Second Place
Three Auburn students made
a whirlwind weekend t r ip
worthwhile by capturing the
runner-up spot in the United
States Intercollegiate T a b le
Tennis Championships held at
Columbus, Ohio, on April 10
and 11.
Cambyse Omidyar, S a e ed
Maghsoodloo, and Frank Branch
combined for a second finish in
the eight-entry event won by
the University of Cincinnati.
Following Auburn, Ohio State
University, O h i o University,
and Dayton University finished
third, fourth, and fifth, respectively.
According to Branch, "there
were some outstanding table
tennis players there, easily
some of the best I've seen. It
was quite an honor to play for
Auburn and we are thankful we
were given the opportunity to
participate.1'
Omidyar and Maghsoodloo
teamed to win a tournament
held recently at Florida State
University, and Branch was
added to complete the three-member
team requirements of
the Columbus tourney.
Site of the tournament was
the Barack Recreation Center
in Columbus and was conducted
under the joint sponsorship of
Columbus Table Tennis Courts
and Columbus Recreation Department.
Maghsoodloo, is a doctoral
candidate in mathematics from
Gorgan, Iran, and Omidyar, is a
freshman in pre-engineering
from Meshed, Iran. Branch is
a junior in Veterinary Medicine
from Goodman, Miss.
Ohio State's Ailton Pinto, an
electrical engineering student
from Brazil, won the Outstanding
Player Award with an 18-1
individual record.

All phases of intramural activity
are now in the third week
of competition with KA, PKT,
SAE, AGR, and SP the leaders
in fraternity play to date. Navy,
APO, and Wesley are ahead in
the Independent leagues, while
U, XI, and G top the Dormitory
divisions.
While Softball is tbe major
spring sport, an additional 250
points toward the All-Sports
Trophy can be obtained by
copping first place in badminton,
horseshoes, and tennis.
PKT, which won the All-
Sports Trophy last year, needed
a first place in horseshoes to
guarantee the award. KA finished
a close second in the trophy
race.
Since 1960, the only fraternity
to repeat as horseshoe tit-list
is Alpha Gamma Rho. Behind
the accurate tossing of
Tom McCuiston and Harrell
Watts, AGR won first place in
both 1962 and 1963. SPE triumphed
in 1960, and DTD won
in 1961.
Another minor sport which
has had various winners in recent
years is tennis. No fraternity
team has repeated as tennis
champions in the last five
years. Beginning with 1960
when OTS was tennis title
holder, the descending victors
through 1964 have been ATO,
AP, SN, and DU.
Certainly the fraternity with
the most phenomenal record in
By
a minor sport is Pi Kappa Al-pho.
The Pikes have been the
ferocious badminton k i n gs
seven of the last eight years.
PKT, which won the championship
in 1961, is the only
Greek group except PKA to win
first place in 1957.
Leaders after this season's
first week of play in tennis are
PKT, SN, BTP, PGD, and SC.
Frontrunners in horseshoes to
date are PKT, DC, KA, PGD,
KS, and PKA.
First round winners in badminton
include PKA, OTS, KA,
SC, DC, DTD, SP, SAE, and SN.

Sharpe Pretty Sharp On Mound
By LARRY LEE
Montie Sharpe Comes Of Age . . .
Montie Sharpe, the winningest pitcher on Auburn's
baseball team, has been throwing a ball most
of his life.
His baseballing began with "sandlot" games
around his Priceville, Ala., home. Next came the
Pony League, then high school ball at Priceville High,
Snead Junior College and now Auburn.
And it may not end iiere since several professional
scouts have expressed interest in the big lefthander. Said

Montie, "I'd love to play pro ball but right now it's far from
a sure thing."
Coach Paul Nix, Tiger baseball mentor, can be thankful
that Montie has a sincere love for Albert Doubleday's
invention. Because if he didn't, he might be bouncing a
basketball for the University of Alabama.
Alabama, along with' several other schools, offered this
education major a basketball scholarship. But, though he
played basketball in high school and at Snead, all he wanted
was to throw a baseball. And for Auburn.
Baseball For Auburn . . .
Is he sorry he cast his lot with the Tigers instead of
Bama? "Not hardly," he said, "I've enjoyed playing here
more than anywhere else."
Since he had only fair success on the mound for: the
Plainsmen last year, we asked the freckled blond what accounted
for his "roaring" start this year. (To date, five SEC
wins and one loss.)
Coach Nix Given Credit
I STUDENTS AND STAFF MEMBERS
T& take advantage of our Thursday Special, you
must show your I.D. card when you bring in your
clothes, NOT when you pick them up. If you don't
show your I.D. cards as you bring them in, you will
pay the regular price. We will not change the price
on our ticket.
"I'll have to give Coach Nix most of the credit for! my
improvement," said Montie. "Before coming to Auburn
I had never really been coached in pitching. But Coach Nix,
a former pro pitcher, changed that."
Under Nix's instruction, Montie learned pitching fundamentals
such as pivoting on the mound, balanced throwing
and how to keep the ball low. j
Montie considers his win over Florida State last yeaV as
the turning point in his Auburn career and probably his
best pitched game so far.
This was the first game in which he "went the route"
for Auburn,-though for two innings it didn't look like he
would. After a shaky start—the FSU'ers collected five 'hits
in the first two innings—Montie pitched hitless ball for the
next seven frames. Auburn won, four to two.

Thinks Only Of Winning . . .
This'season, Montie, described by teammate Frank Ffyer
| as "a fella who thinks only of winning," is aiming for ten
| wins. And the SEC championship for the team.
In his "arsenal" of pitches, Montie counts a fastball,
curve and change-up. When in a jam, it's usually the fast-
| ball that gets the call—at least, said Montie, "it's the one I
like to- come in with."
The tall lefty added that "confidence is half of pitching,"
and that playing at home sure helps in this department.
Compromise With The Umps . . .
What about the classic disputes with umpires over questioned
calls? Said Montie, "There'll usually be two, or

three calls in a game that I think should've been strikes.
But there's usually a couple that I thought missed and the
ump calls strikes. So it works both ways."
Tommy Keyes of the Ole Miss 1964 Conference Champs
gets Montie's nod as the toughest hitter to face him. The
fact that Keyes signed a professional contract for $40,000
helps Montie's feelings somewhat though.
After graduation next December—unless professional
pitching comes along—Montie plans to either coach or
enter the field of public relations.
