Water Resources Center implemented
By Johnson-Signed Federal Program
By RICHARD BROOKSHIRE
Alabama's Water Resources Research Institute at Auburn
University will be more fully implemented because of a bill
recently signed by President Johnson providing for support
of centers in each of the fifty states.
Public Law 88-379 authorizes a permanent program to
help establish and operate a water
resources research center in
each state and provides for continuing
financial support.
Auburn was approved by the
Legislature during its last session
as the campus on which the center
for Alabama would be established.
The program was adopted
by the Board of Trustees last year
and a budget has been established
by the University to initiate
the program this year.
PURPOSE
According to Dr. W. S. Bailey,
acting director of the Auburn
center, the purpose of the Water
Resources Research Institute is
to coordinate and stimulate research
and graduate training in
the broad field of water resources.
No laboratory facility or professional
staff is planned for the
Institute in the near future. Instead,
the various projects will
be supported by grants to the
teaching a n d research units
where the work is actually being
done. A considerable number of
departments are already engaged
in studies in the water resources

Draughon Goes To
White House Parley
President Ralph B. Draughon
has accepted the invitation of
President Lyndon B. Johnson to
meet with other leading state university
officers. The White House
conference will be held in Washington
on August 13.
In his invitation to Dr. Draughon,
President Johnson noted that
a number of state universities are
engaged in important studies concerning
the development of their
states and regions during the next
20 years.
Expressing deep interest in
these studies, President Johnson
is inviting the chief officer of
leading state universities throughout
the United States to a luncheon
at the White House. The luncheon
will be followed by an afternoon
of carefully planned discussion
groups.
President Draughon serves as a
member of Governor George C.

Viet Nam Action
Strikes Homef ront
Increased military operations in
Viet Nam struck closer to home
this week as two Auburn Army
ROTC instructors received orders
transferring them to the Southeast
Asia trouble spot immediately.
Major Paul Blackwell and Captain
Robert Johns are scheduled
to report to the U.S. Army in Viet
Nam on September 6th and September
21st respectively. Johns,
who is Ranger-qualified, was
originally slated to attend a school
in California for the purpose of
learning the Vietnamese language.
However, his orders were revised
and subsequently updated. The
Captain had twice previously applied
for duty in Viet Nam. He
has been the Assistant Professor
of Military Science since assignment
to Auburn in 1963.
A native of Birmingham, Major
Blackwell has been at Auburn
since 1962 as head of the
AROTC Armor Branch. Under his
new assignment, Blackwell will
act officially as an advisor to the
Vietnamese Army of the Republic
of Viet Nam. Captain Johns will
serve in the same capacity.
In other changes affecting the
local Army ROTC establishment,
Sergeant James S. Davis has departed
on reassignment to an
Army installation in West Virginia.
Sergeant Paul Burkes is enroute
to West Germany on official
orders of relocation, Sergeant Shy-lock
has been reassigned to duty
at the Citadel, and Specialist/5
Frank L. Wilkerson is retiring
from military service. All served
as military instructors.
Former Auburn ROTC assistant
professor of military science Major
William Clingempeel has just returned
from a one-year stint in
Viet Nam, during which time he
was promoted from the rank of
Captain to his present position.
Clingempeel is presently at Fort
Bragg, North Carolina.

Poultry Science Professor Awarded
Patent On New Coccidiosis Vaccine
By STAN WADE
A patent has recently been awarded to the Auburn University
Research Foundation for a vaccine which uses live
organisms to immunize chickens against coccidiosis. This is
believed to be the first patent ever issued for an innoculum
of this type.
The vaccine was developed by
of
Flowers . . .
(Continued from page 1)
The Young Democrats have announced
that they expect to sponsor
several rallies on campus during
the fall Presidential election
campaign. Emphasis will be upon
support of the entire party ticket,
including the eight Democratic
candidates for congress.
S. Allen Edgar, professor
poultry science, and his associates.
Dr. Edgar's research began
while working on his Ph.D. at
the University of Wisconsin. At
first interested in human medicine
and tropical diseases, his idea
simmered through the war years
when he was with the School of
Preventative Medicine at the hospital
on Saipan, as a malariaolo-gist.
Dr. Edgar joined the Auburn
faculty in 1947, and in June, 1952,
the Agricultural Experiment Station
announced that the first vaccine
was available commercially.
The vaccine was originally bottled
on the Auburn campus, but
is now manufactured five miles
north of Auburn by Dorn and
Mitchell Laboratories, a subsidiary
of Sterling Drug Corp. It
is used throughout the United
States and in many other parts of
the world.
After successful use on an experimental
basis, the project was
turned over to the Auburn Research
Foundation. At one point,
according to Adm. William C.
Jonson, director of the Auburn
Development Fund, Dr. Edgar received
$100,000 in accumulated income
from the vaccine. At present,
the ARF receives approximately
$30,000 each year.

The Auburn Conservative Club
will present Pete Turnham, legislator
from Lee County, speaking
on "Redistricting and Succession
Possibilities" tonight at 7 o'clock
in Dunstan 307, according to
Charles McNees, president.
"• Mr. Turnham, who is serving his
second term as representative
from Lee County, will discuss
several of the more prominent re-districting
bills, as well as the succession
bill and their chances for
passage. A question and answer
period will follow his address.

area.
PROVISIONS
Two provisions of the act affect
the Auburn center directly. $75,-
000 would come to the campus
center for the fiscal year 1965,
$87,500 in fiscal years 1966 and
1967 and $100,000 each year
thereafter.
Under this provision of the act
it will be possible to arrange with
other colleges and universities in
the state to participate in the
work of the institute.
The second provision provides
for matching grants on a 50-50
basis for specific water resources
research projects. For this purpose,
the act provides for one
million in 1965, increasing one
million annually, reaching a
maximum of five million.
NOTICE
Students with cars are urged to
go by the campus police station
and register them for fall quarter
before the end of summer quarter.

Cameras Focus On Happy Homemaker
Showing Watchers 'How It's Done'
By LYNNE GRIFFIN
The cameras are ready. The lights are set. "Lights!
Camera! Action!" cries the director. The hostess of Today's
Home, a weekly television program for homemakers, steps
quickly to the refrigerator to begin the preparation of the
day's "dish." She opens the door of the freezer, talking ani-mately

Council Sets New Admissions Policy
The Administrative Council has
approved a new policy concerning
entering freshmen at Auburn.
Beginning fall quarter, high school
students must be accepted for admission
before making application
for dormitory space.
Admission requirements—involving
both minimum scores on
nationally approved college entrance
tests and the student's high
school record—remain the same,
as do the other procedures of application
for admission.
The new policy insures that
rooms will be reserved for only
those students meeting admission
requirements. For the time being,
the policy will largely affect
women applicants since all women
must live in University approved
dormitories. At present, men students
may arrange for rooms
either on campus or in the community.
Due to limited campus housing,
Auburn was unable to consider
applications from some 450 to 500
women seeking admission for the
1064 fall quarter, according to Admissions
Director Jay Brumfield.
"Without a doubt, academic
records and test scores will be
reviewed even more carefully than
before. This does not mean that
Auburn University is forgetting its
Land-Grand heritage and is seeking
to become a highly selective
institution.
"It does mean, however, that as
long as dormitory facilities are
inadequate to accommodate all
men and women, and as long as
the University has an increasing
'shortage' of qualified teachers and
classroom space, priority should be
given to those applicants who aie
best prepared to do successful
academic work and to those who
earnestly seek an Auburn degree,"
said Brumfield.

This incident is only one of
many, explains Mrs. Lee Cannon,
assistant professor of Home Economics
at Auburn University,
and hostess of Today's Home. According
to Mrs. Cannon, this only
adds to the excitement of broadcasting
on station ETV across the
state of Alabama. "It also keeps

Having received her Bachelor's

University, Mrs. Cannon
was on the staff of the University
of Wisconsin when she met
her husband, Dr. Robert Y. Cannon,
who is currently a professor
of Dairy Science at Auburn University.

with the intention of remaining
one year. That was 15
years ago. "You couldn't make

Eminent Questions
Two eminent questions in Alabama politics today are,
"What happened to the Democratic party," and "What can
be done about redisricting." Although we suspect that
the answers to these questions are "Goldwater" and "Stall",
respectively, there is more to be said. More, in fact,
will be said toward answering these vital political questions
tonight on this campus.
Alabama Attorney General Richmond Flowers will
present his answer to the first of our questions at a meeting
sponsored by the Young Democrats Club. The topic
of Mr. Flowers speech is "What does the Democratic party
mean to Alabama?" His views on this subject should
be especially interesting for two reasons: He has been
noted in the past as one who is not afraid to buck the
system belonging to Governor Wallace, and is thought
to be a likely candidate for governor at some future time.
Attorney General Flowers' talk here is termed by his office
as a major address.
Lee County second-term legislator, Pete Turnham, will
also appear on campus tonight. His discussion of several
of the redistricting bills up before the state legislature is
to be sponsored by the Alabama Conservatives Club.
We welcome these state leaders to Auburn, but find
it unfortunate that their speaking times will conflict. It
seems that the two clubs, although political opponents,
could cooperate in their presentation of speakers, if in
nothing else. We would like to have the opportunity to
hear both men.
Quality-Quantity
It has been encouraging over the past few years to
watch Auburn's enrollment set new records with each
successive quarter. It has also been encouraging to know
that, even with this increase in attendance, a gradual upgrading
of the intellectual quality of students has come
about. Minimum standards of admission have been raised
so that each year's freshman class could be rated intellectually
sharper than the previous class.
As a further step in the direction of higher academic
standards for this university, the recent change in admission
policy is significant. The new ruling requires
that a student be admitted to the university before applying
for dormitory space. In the past, dormitory space
was given out on a "first come, first served" basis, and as
a result, some of the brighter students were turned away
because of a shortage of housing. This problem will be
eliminated under the new system. Those prospective
students whose academic ratings are well above the minimum
requirements will, in effect, be given priority in
reservation of a room.
If anyone need be turned away because of housing
shortages, it is well that it be the one least likely to meet
future scholastic requirements.
Auburn can be proud of it's progress; not often does
increase in quality accompany increase in quantity.

Children all and idiots all. So
we can call who we want idiots,
as the saying goes. We, too, are

though we confine our raving to
fits of drunkenness while you

drunkenness tends to increase as

for the cow patties which dot,
like blackheads on the face of a
youth who has just finished his
first beer (the same one who will
cry out "I want to go to college"),
the green pastures of Auburn University.
Lord knows, because the Lord
knows everything and don't ever
think that you can get away with
anything that the Lord doesn't
know, and though it may be fun
while it's going on, whatever it
is that you might not want the
Lord to know, you can be damn
sure that you will burn in hell
for it, Lord knows, we have stepped
in a patty or two ourselves
along the way and we jnst want
to warn you to watch out.
This is not to indict Auburn
University or Buildings and

easy to be Christian when you

If you can read between the lines,
you will know that the real
message and intent of this column
is love. Without sexual connotations,

cognizant of love and loyalty. So
let us be cognizant. Amen.

Traditionally, the time has
come for the editorial end of The
Auburn Plainsman to "hit and
run," so to speak. But that tradition
cannot be afforded at this
time; there is something that
must be said, not in defense (for
freedom of the
press needs no
defense) but in
an e f f o r t to
reach an understanding.
So
if y o u have
c l o s e d your
e a r s to t h is
column in the
p a s t , open
them now.
During t he
course of this
long, often hot, summer; old suspicions
about the society in which
Auburn University lives have
been confirmed. It is sad but
true that some people around here
pay lip service only to such
worthy phrases as, "I don't agree
with what you pay but I'll defend
your right to say it."
It is sad also that the word
censorship doesn't apply to what
goes on after printing an article;
it would indeed be a good word
to use. The fact is that The Auburn
Plainsman is not censored;
it is merely continuously threatened.
What is written in good
taste is printed, but the aftereffects
may be hard to take at
times. For example, to print a
column supporting Senator Gold-water
in the paper is praiseworthy;
to print a column attacking
Senator Goldwater is "a violation
of Plainsman policy" and
merits an official reprimand. This
is not censorship of the usual
sort, but under any name it isn't
quite just.
The question is — Why should
anyone be pressured, cursed or
reprimanded simply because his
ideas fall outside of that tightly
encompassed mainstream? And
the answer comes that The Auburn
Plainsman is considered by
the people of this state as representative
of the opinion of the
administration and student body
of this university. But this is utterly
unbelievable.
Surely none who care enough
to complain about what appears
in this paper would overlook the
masthead's explanation that it's
opiinons are the opinions of individual
students. But if some
shortsighted citizen does, in fact,
misinterpret the views represented
here, what should be done?
Should we bow to absurdities, or
should be attempt to correct that
mistaken opinion? More specifically,
should President Draugh-on,
upon receiving a criticism of
a column, call in the editor for a
talk? Or should his office attempt
to explain to the plaintiff that a
person has the right to express
his opinion?
The final decision rests with
members of this student body—
with you, the student. Let the
next editor hear from you; this
one "has been."

Wanna Bet?
Is It To Be Johnson Or Goldwafer?
Trends Point To A Very Close Race
By George McMillan, Jr.
Is President Johnson going to
win the election or is there a possibility
that Senator Goldwater
might achieve victory? The truth
is that at this time any answers
to these questions can be nothing
more than guesses. The best that
we can do is to analyze certain
current trends on which the outcome
of the election will probably
be based.
Of course, if we are prone to
believe in Dr. Gallup's weekly
poll, we would have to concede
that a Goldwater victory would
be nothing short of a miracle. The
Gallup Poll published August 9
shows that 64 per cent of the
American electorate favor President
Johnson and 36 per cent
favor Senator Goldwater. But
then we must remember that the
Gallup Poll published July 12
showed that only 34 per cent of
the Republican rank and file favored
the nomination of Senator
Goldwater whereas according to
Dr. Gallup 60 per cent favored
Governor Scranton's nomination,
with six per cent undecided. You
do remember that Senator Gold-water
received the nomination, so
let us forget the polls and get
back to analyzing trends.
The "New Frontier" has been
exchanged for the "Great Society."
The supposedly good
times we are having are said to
be sufficient enough to re-elect
Johnson.
The Negroes have "kindly"
consented to declare a moratorium
on all demonstrations at
least until after the election. This
move was made in order to halt
resentment which might hinder
the election of President Johnson.
The Johnson administration
also has had a big advantage as
far as publicity goes. The communications
mediums have had
eight months in which they have
created a favorable impression of
President Johnson. At the same
time they have aided the Democrats
by creating the impression
that Senator Goldwater is an irresponsible,
trigger-happy individual
who would plunge this
country into nuclear war. A man
not to be hated they say, but a
man to be feared.
It is most unfortunate that so
many people have come to believe
that the Arizona Senator is
impulsive or imprudent, as his
political enemies have tried to
picture him. On the contrary, he
is the kind of man who will tell
the American people why he believes
appeasement leads to war
and why he thinks that a foreign
policy carried on with firmness
and resoluteness is the surest way
to preserve peace.
It is most amusing to hear liberals
who deplore Senator Gold-water's
foreign policy trying to
justify President Johnson's action
in Viet Nam. The speech
President Johnson made to the
American public on August 4
concerning Viet Nam read as if
Senator Goldwater had composed
it.
In Senator Goldwater's case,
the cross-over from the Democratic
Party holds the key to the
election. The traditionally Democratic
South is no more. President
Johnson has received reports
from his advisors that Gold-water
will sweep the South. It is
doubtful President Johnson will
even carry his home state of
Texas. And equally as disappointing
to Johnson are the reports
that he will not carry
Georgia, a state which has never
voted anything but Democrat.
True, President Johnson is
counting on Southern Democrat
senators and their cohorts to go
back home and whip people into
line before November. But they
are going to find that the Southern
voters are not so simple and
gullible as they suppose. The old
cries of seniority and local patronage
are going to sound rather
hollow.
The Republicans are offering
the Southerners consideration and
constitutional government, while
President Johnson and his crowd
are refusing them both.
The conservative trend is not
only evident in the South. The
Mountain States are largely Gold-water.
Goldwater is strong in the
Midwestern states and he cannot
be counted out on the Pacific
coast.
However, Johnson is the king
in most areas north of the. Potomac
and east of the Alleghenies.
In a nutshell, politicians are
not taking Johnson's election for
granted. They think Goldwater is
behind, but the shift in usually
Democrat and Republican strongholds
could prove strong enough
to give Goldwater the margin of
victory. All trends point to a
close race.
Letters To The Editor
• Barry's Philosophy
Is Nineteenth Century
Editor, The Plainsman:
Before Labor Day, the presidential
campaigns will be in full
swing. So, as Senator Ev Dirke-son
suggested—let's look at the
"whole man." Indeed. Let's take
a practical look at Barry Morris
Goldwater's Nineteenth Century
Philosophy:
Goldwater opposed the Civil
Rights legislation in an attempt
to maintain "second-class citizenship"
status for America's 18,-
000,000 n o n-Causasion citizens
. . . Goldwater opposes federal
aid to education, without which
Auburn University could not operate
. . . Goldwater v o t ed
against ratification of the limited
nuclear test ban treaty . . . he opposes
farm price support, which
makes up the bulk of the prices
of farm goods.
He opposes grants-in-aid to
states', without which the state
highway program would be crippled
. . . he continuously opposes
Social Security, without
which the 144,000 Alabamians
now on welfare would have to
turn to Montgomery for more aid
. . . not to mention his plans for
TVA and other "nay" votes on
aid to public housing, the anti-poverty
program, mass transit
aid, trade expansion—all of them
supported by the majority of Republican
congressmen.
The question is: can Alabamians,
or more important, can
the Nation afford Goldwater and
his philosophy? Frankly, I surely
hope he has been misquoted
during the past few months.

Five Weeks To Go . . .
Houston Student Ticket Plans Bared
Because new student identification
cards will not be ready for
distribution by Saturday, September
19th, all former Auburn
students will be admitted to the
Houston-Auburn grid clash upon
presentation of their 1963-64 I.D.
Relaxing with Doc Griffith, Tucker Frederickson, Jon Kilgore,
Mickey Sutton, and Mike Alford in ghost-like Plainsman Dormitory
it didn't seem that 1964 Auburn football was just around the corner,
but the local newsstand was already stocked with collegiate grid
magazines and administrative activity in the Field House ticket office
was at a fever pitch.
In answer to the obvious question ("What's your goal for 1964?"),
the quintet replied almost in unison, "We want to go unbeaten." That
conversation took place three weeks ago.
Five Saturdays hence, the Tigers will take the field against the
Houston Cougars in a repeat of last year's opening encounter. However
the circumstances surrounding this season's lidlifter are considerably
altered from those conditions which made the '63 opener
"just another game." Coach Jordan is on record as saying his 1964
outfit, with 29 returning lettermen, an All-America quarterback and
complementing backfield, a linebacker described (in Street and
Smith's 1964 Football Yearbook) as the "demon headhunter" with
"few equals in Dixie", and a dream schedule, "has as much potential
as any team I have ever fielded."
While Auburn coaches would like to keep down pre-season publicity
as much as possible nine 1963 victims have let the word slip
out that the Plainsmen will enter the 1964 campaign with practically
the same squad which made a New Year's Day appearance in the
Orange Bowl Classic. Inside Sport, an annual publication produced
by the editors of Sport magazine, picks the Tigers to finish fourth
nationally behind Oklahoma, Ole Miss, and Illinois respectively. Many
other football prognosticators have consistently placed the Plainsmen
in their "Top Tens", those unique ranking surveys which are immensely
popular with the public.
"Top Tens" are those amazing predictions which enable their
authors to decide in July just how 200 teams will do in September,
October, and November, and thereby cause more coaches to become
prematurely gray, or prematurely unemployed the following December.
Areas Of Suspicion
While ,the 1964 outlook indeed looks bright pre-season analysts
point to three areas of suspicion which individually or aggregately
could bring woe to the Tigers. Lack of a proven understudy to spell
quarterback Jimmy Sidle, an inconsistent inside (tackle to tackle)
running game, and poor punt coverage, are the points most frequently
presented when the Plainsmen are considered for championship
honors.
We leave Joe Campbell and Tom Bryan to dispell the first area
of suspicion while Tucker Frederickson claims his personal 1964
goal is "to improve my running game." We still think that Frederick-

IM Eliminations
Now In Progress
By TOMMY LINOSEY
Intramural Softball enters its
final stages this week. Only three
teams, AVMA, PKT, and Plainsman
Dorm, remain in contention
for the softball crown.
AVMA takes on PKT in a semifinal
game; the winner will then
play Plainsman Dorm for the
title.
In the first round of the playoffs,
Plainsman Dorm beat PKA,
PKT topped the Knights, the
Clowns whipped the Sports, and
AVMA took the measure of Magnolia
Division B.
As play progressed into the
second round, Plainsman Dorm
rolled over PKT, and AVMA slipped
by the Clowns.
League one ended play with a
tie between Plainsman Dorm and
AVMA for the top position; both
teams had identical records of
eight wins and two losses.
The Sports topped league two

New students will be able to
attend the contest, which opens
the Tigers 1964 campaign, by presenting
their certificates of registration
and payment of the special
$1.00 rate which applies to
all students and their wives.
Mr. Bill Beckwith, director of
ticket sales and sports publicity
for the University, urged students
desiring to obtain tickets for the
Mississippi State-Auburn game
(Homecoming) to place their
orders now as the contest is a
near sellout and it- is doubtful
that any ducats will be offered
immediately prior to the game.
Beckwith also mentioned that
tickets to the Auburn-Georgia

24th were nearly gone and
that parties interested in gaining
tickets to this annual battle
should contact the Athletic Department
immediately. "

son is one of the most underrated backs in the nation, those who
have commented that Tuck lacks the innate ability, to get "tough" or
'mean" should ask Ted Davis or any of a number of defenders for
some first-hand descriptions of previous meetings.
Jon Kilgore allowed that he has been practicing for most of the
summer on getting his booming kicks even higher, without losing
distance, in order that Tiger defense men will have a greater amount
of time to converge on the ball than in the past, where Kilgore found
his f i f ty plus yard boots being nullified by lengthy returns.
On paper Auburn possesses most of the answers, but paper won't
prevent injuries, overconfidence, or bad luck.
For The Season . . .
In our opinion, sure, the Tigers could go all the way, and we are
looking forward to seeing the Plainsmen kickoff the Fall with a
victory over an up-and-coming University, of Houston (college
students in Texas often refer to the University of Houston as Cougar
High) eleven, but to achieve predicted laurels the Tigers will have
to prove they are even better than the critics say on at least ten
occasions.
On The Cover , .
Don't quote us yet, but indications are that Jimmy Sidle will adorn
the cover of Sports lllustrated's football preview edition, and the
Tigers are rumored to be the magazine's pick for the top spot in
the South.

Fraternities, Sororities Make Plans
For '64 Pre-School Rush Activities
By MARY LOU FOY
The 12 national sororities and 24 national fraternities on
campus will hold pre-school rush beginning Wednesday, September
16, and ending Friday, September 25.
Sorority rush will last from September 16 until September
22. Women students out for rush will be required to live in
the dorms during the rush period. 1
There will be no fee for dormitory
space but there will be a
$2.75 registration fee and $8.75
meal ticket fee. The deadline for
signing up for rush was July 13,
however, names are still being
taken at the Dean of Women's
office.
SORORITY SCHEDULE
Sorority rush will begin Wednesday
with convocation for
rushees and 12 rotational open
house parties. On Thursday there
will be eight invitational informal
• Open houses. Friday will
continue these open houses but
rushees will. visit only six sororities.
The theme parties, at which
sororjty members will be in costume
and will present a central
theme and skit, will begin Saturday
with rushees attending four
on Saturday and three on Sunday.
On Monday, rushees will attend
two preferential parties and
sign preference cards. Tuesday
night, traditionally known as
"squeal night," rushees will pick
up their bids.
FRATERNITY SCHEDULE
Fraternity rush begins with
registration, convocation and a
movie on Saturday, September
19. Open house functions (rushees
are required to attend at least 14)
will be held on Sunday. On Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday,
the scheduled rush functions and
quiet hours will continue.
On Thursday, the first day of
classes, the rush period will end
with final rush functions. Fraternities
will turn in bid cards on
Letters To The Editor
So, Miss Snoddy,
You Dislike Goldwater
Editor, The Plainsman:
So, Miss Snoddy, you dislike
Mr. Goldwater and what he and
free loving Americans everywhere
stand for!
Has it occurred to you that the
simple and obvious solutions are
often overlooked; that they often
prove successful; that the men
who are able to seek out these
solutions are the men who will
enable a small nation to rise in
power—yes small in the eyes of
the world—and prestige?
I would remind you that no
problem is unanswerable; the solution
is sometimes elusive, unpleasant,
and—yes—obvious.
I believe that you have entirely
missed the point in your branding
of Goldwater as a self-styled
and undesirable Christ. On the
contrary, he would rid the government
of the undesirable. He
could not possibly prove worse
than the present administration
which, if re-elected, "would
rather fight than switch" policies.
I hope that the staff of The
Plainsman will deign to print this
letter, thereby showing yourselves
to be unafraid of viewpoints
other than your own.
In conclusion, Miss Snoddy, let
me appeal to your sense of ethics
by asking you to refrain from this
muckraking in the future, as we
shall see enough of it between
now and November.
