An 83-year-old tradition of printing The Auburn Plainsman by hot-type letterpress repro­duction
is expected to come to an end with the final issue of spring quarter. Standing
by the old type press is veteran pressman J. V. Lord, of the Plainsman's publisher, The Lee
County Bulletin. The paper will be produced by the offset method, a indirect modern
photographic technique. Also known as "cold type," the new method will save the paper

regular publication date from Wednesday to Thursday. Projected plans call for a twice-a-week
publication.

WALLACE TO APPEAR
Governor's Day Planned
By BON CASTILLE
Four Auburn students
will get a chance to match
their wits and knowledge
against four students from
another college in the na­tionally
televised General
Electric College Bowl on Oct.
16. The opponent has not
been announced. Coach for the
team is Jim Vickrey, debate
coach, speech instructor, and
former Student Body president.
The College Bowl, now in its
eighth year on national tele­vision,,
matches four students
from two different schools in a
battle of wits with the empha­sis
on quick-thinking. During
a 20-minute session, questions
are asked and the first team to
sound a buzzer gets the chance
to answer. A right answer al-
Loveliest of the Plains
lows the team to try for the
bonus question, while a wrong
one lets the opposing team an­swer
the question. The team
with the most points at the end
of the time limit wins the
match. ,
The winning school receives
a $1,500 scholarship from Gen­eral
Electric and the chance to
return the following week to
compete against another school
and they are allowed to appear
a total of five times. The losing
team receives a $500 scholar­ship.
Another feature of the pro­gram
is a short film showing
the school's campuses and giv­ing
a brief synopsis of their
past and present history.
One month ago the Office
of the President received the
bid from G.E. to appear as a
contestant school and Professor
James Vickrey, debate team
coach and a speech instructor, j
was chosen to act as head of i
a committee to select the four
students to appear on the pro­gram.
This selection committee
will be composed of representa­tives
of each of the schools on
campus, and they will also de­termine
the eligibility require­ments
for students who wish to
be considered for the team.
The four members of the team
and their coach will receive an
expense-paid trip to New York
City for the weekend of their
appearance and for any return
matches on the program.
Auburn will be the third
school from the State of Ala­bama
to appear on the College
Bowl. The University of Ala­bama
appeared on the program
three years ago and Birming­ham
Southern was the most re­cent,
appearing last year.
Any students who would be
interested in being selected as
Auburn's contestants should
contact Prof. James Vickrey in
the Speech Department office.

FASHION CLUB PLANNED
Selection of a theme for the
Spring Apparel Review is to
be the main item of business at
the Tuesday meeting of the re­cently
organized A u b u rn
branch of Fashion Incorporated,
a club open to all students in­terested
in furthering fashion
professionally.
Fashion Incorporated was
established as a campus organi­zation
at Florida State Uni­versity
in 1953 and now has a
membership of 150. The FSU
group has asked Auburn,
through the local School of
Home Economics, to form the
first sister chapter in a move­ment
which is eventually in­tended
to span the nation.
Ten 'Best Dressed'
Coming Soon
The long awaited top ten
"Best Dressed Women on Cam­pus"
will be announced in next
week's Plainsman.
Co-ordinator for the contest,
Jerry Brown, listed the delay
as the inability to secure com­petent
judges together with the
tragedy of last quarter.
"We are happy," he said, "to
have procured a drama profes­sor,
a fashion teacher, a depart­ment
store executive, and two
students to act as judges.
The contest, which will be
sponsored solely under the
auspices of the Plainsman, will
be culminated by the selection
of "Best Dressed Woman on
Campus" the week following
the selection of the top ten.
The ten finalists will model
clothes which they think "ap­propriate"
for today's average
co-ed in the concluding contest,
he said.
If you plan to give a diamond this spring or summer . . . now is the time for you
to invest a little time in learning a few facts regarding diamonds. Unless you have
more money than you have time . . . you can hardly afford to buy without learning
these basic facts. The old fasion method of selecting a diamond by price alone is
a luxury you can hardly afford.
For twenty years Ware's loose Diamond System has proven itself as an ideal sys­tem
to make your diamond dollar do its utmost to give you the finest most beautiful
diamond possible in your price range.
How does it work? Simple! As a member of the American Gem Society we are in
a position to give you the information regarding diamond grading and pricing that you
must have in order to wisely select your loose diamond. We not only can explain
this to you, but we have all the American Gem Society equipment to grade and weight
every stone so that nothing is left to chance.
Once your stone is selected the mounting style is next. Our stock includes over
200 mountings styles by Orange Blossom, Gomez, Jabel and Art Carved. We have a
jewelry manufacturing department that is the equal of any in Alabama. All our ring
manufacture and stone setting is done in our store so that we may watch everv
step in your "tailor made ring."
Diamond guarantee, future trade in, term payments? We would Hke to tell you
our story.
But how about the price? Students from over 138 towns in 19 states purchased dia­monds
on Ware's Loose Diamond System in 1965. Do you think they would have used
this system if they could have made a better purchase back home.
Why not investigate Ware's Loose Diamond System soon.

If ays Cites Hope
In Local Leaders
By ROY RILEY
"The hope of the South
is in the justice that leader­ship
groups can supply."
Dr. Brooks Hays, assistant
to President Lyndon B.
Johnson, spoke these words
at the second session of the
1966 Auburn Religious Affairs
Conference on Monday morn­ing.
The main emphasis of Hays'
speech was the importance of
giving other people a chance
to express their opinions and
then giving thoughtful consid­eration
to all the facts.
Hays spoke on the complete
and general education of mod­ern
America and emphasized
that young people must learn
to be skillful in order that their
minds will mature. "All of
this," he said, "will enable you
to give a just performance to
the offices of life."
"We must do justice to others
as we cry out for justice to be
directed toward us," he ex­plained.
"Do you listen to the
spokesman for racial minorities,
or do you put aside their dis­sent?"
He gave examples of how he
disagreed with the programs of
his college days, and said that
he wished he had listened more
closely to what his professors
told him about justice.
After discussing his dissen-tion
with school authorities, he
cited the 1954 Supreme Court
ruling that struck down segre­gation
laws.
"I criticized the 1954 Sup­reme
Court decision," he com­mented.
"I now wish I had not.
The patterns by which we live
change, a n d we must accept
this.
"I do not condemn the Negro
for taking his case to Washing­ton,"
he said. "Saul of Tarsus
took his case to Rome, and bus­inessmen
of today take their
cases to Washington. It is our
privilege," Hays said.
Hays continued his speech
by bringing out several points
dealing with religion in every­day
life.
"It is not too early to think
about the solemn things of r e ­ligion.
Our Southern faith is
Biblical and it preserves the
things that are eternal," Hays
said. Our religious values are
not bound by physical circum­stances,"
he added.
He said that the successful
man of today must be skillful.
"The challenge of the machine
does not frighten the skillful
man or woman," he said.
Hays concluded his speech
by challenging the audience to
"go the second mile." He said
that friendships can be streng­thened
if man will help his
fellowman.

CORNET MAGAZINE
TEAMAN PROPOSES
CHANGES
Jim Yeaman, president pro
tern of the Senate, proposed the
changes to Article IX of the
Student B o d y Constitution,
which would permit the elec­tion
of the publication heads.
The Board of Student Publica­tions
has been appointing these
positions since 1964 when the
Senate and Student Body voted
to have the editors and business
managers appointed by the
Board.
The change in the method of
selecting the editors and busi­ness
managers of the campus
publications w a s necessary,
Yeaman pointed out, in order
to bring the Student Body into
a more direct relationship with
the major campus publications.
BASED ON 1964
CONSTITUTION
The proposed amendment is
based on provisions of the 1964
Student B o d y Constitution,
Yeaman said, which provided
for the election of the publica­tion
heads by a plurality vote
of the students voting in the
spring quarter, elections.
The only difference between
what was contained in the 1964
constitution and the proposed
amendment is a stipulation that
candidates for publication
heads must meet standards set
by the Publications Board to
qualify for elections, Yeaman
added.
The Board of Student Publi­cations
is composed of five stu­dents
and four faculty mem­bers.
The chairman is the dean
of student affairs and the r e ­mainder
of the committee is
composed of the business man­ager
of the University, an in­structor
in »journalism, the
president of Auburn, the presi­dent
of the Student Body, and

four members of the senior
class elected by the Student
Senate.
SENATE MUST APPROVE
An amendment to the Stu­dent
Body Constitution must
first be approved by a two-thirds
vote of the Student Sen­ate.
After the publication of the
proposed amendment in the two
issues of the Plainsman prior to
the voting date, it must be ap-proyed
by a majority of the
students voting in the election,
provided at least 25 per cent
of the student body votes in
that election. The amendment
must then be approved by the
president of the Student Body
and President Philpott.

Student Government's Sternest Test
Student government at Auburn
faces its sternest test of recent years
in just eight days. It must confront the
uncertainty of the ballot box.
Winners of last spring's executive
and senatorial races vowed to do
something this year to make student
government far more effective than
ever before conceived at this institu­tion,
to make it reach all the students
on this campus. It can be said most em­phatically
that these holders of the
public trust have more than kept their
promises. From teacher evaluation, to
the Peace Corps seminar, to the blood
drive, Auburn student government has
sought and produced only excellence,
through student participation.
So, you may be wondering just why
this year's elections are so important.
The answer is simply that it can now
most plainly be seen that the student
government you elected a year ago has
answered the long-time critics' cries of
"do-nothingism" with a record of ac­complishments
most city and county
governments would do well to emulate
in their respective spheres.
It was you who gave the present
administration its mandate to serve,
and once again it will be you who will
be charged with the responsibility of
making sure that the soon to be chosen
administration is good for an encore.
This newspaper has spent better
than $500 of your money to produce a
special election supplement in order
that you might become better acquaint,
ed with the candidates and their many
views. By the end of.the campaign
you'll probably be near hysteria from
having heard them.
We encourage you to put the office-seeker
on the spot. Find out what he
proposes to accomplish and more im­portant,
just how he intends to make
good on his promises.
Then vote your convictions.
If Auburn students cared enough
to give an astounding 3,507 pints of
blood last week, is it not impossible to
imagine 5,000 ballots being cast in the
forthcoming elections?
We don't think so.
About That Special Session
When Governor George Wallace
speaks at Toomer's Corner tomorrow
afternoon we hope that His Excellency
will take the opportunity to announce
just exactly when he plans to call the
long-awaited special state legislative
session which is supposed to be con­vened
for the purpose of dividing that
$99 million surplus earmarked for edu­cation.
It's a great feeling to know that the
funds are available, but the money can
only serve its purpose when put to
work. These dollars should be raising
the state's educational status at this
very moment for education must rank
as the state's top priority consideration.
Talented administrators, such as our
own Dr. Philpott, can lead the way
to new heights in Alabama literacy,
but the Philpotts and the Roses and
the county school superintendents need
resources in order to operate.
We would like to feel certain that
mitigating circumstances rather than
political expediency have prevented
the governor from taking action until
now. A few words of explanation and
perhaps a tip-off would be most ap­preciated.
It's our pleasure to welcome Mr.
Wallace to town. We hope he brings
good news.
Leaders Too Busy To Meet
The fact that ODK meetings are
sparsely attended leaves us with mixed
emotions. Auburn's circle honoring
male campus leaders is reputed to be
one of the best in the nation, however
the members seem to have trouble
getting together as a group.
This means either that the indivi­dual
members are, too busy leading to
get together in any way near'a quorum
or that the majority of the members
feel that the organization is strictly
honorary with no purpose for gather,
ing except to conduct semi-annual tap­pings.
Some members haven't appear­ed
for a meeting since their initiation.
Whatever the case may be, ODK's
local policy needs to be clarified. As
things stand now, those members who
do attend the once-every-so-often
meetings may feel they have made a
mistake. Maybe they're supposed to
be out leading somewhere.
The Viet Nam Puzzle
South Viet Nam may be too lengthy
a subject to comment on briefly. The
current unrest in that nation causes us
to recall some interesting phrases in
an eighth grade American history
book.
That history book mentioned that
America entered the First World War
on a pair of slogans. "To Make the
World Safe for Democracy" and "To
Fight the War to End All Wars" car­ried
us idealistically into bloody Euro­pean
conflict. We quickly and tragi­cally
learned that the rest of the world
did not want peace.
Civil upheaval in South Viet Nam
at a time when this country is so heav­ily
committed to obtaining peace and
order at the price of American lives
and dollars makes us stop and wonder
if our efforts are not in vain.
This country must always bear the
heavy burden of keeping the Free
World free, but we cannot serve as
the world's police force.
Elephant On Rise I . .
National GOP Rebuilding
With Surprising Speed
By Gerald Rutberg
Rebuilding of the national Republican
Party in the wake of the 1964 Goldwater de­bacle
appears to be proceeding far more rapidly than some ob­servers
would have thought possible. The GOP was close to an
all-time low just 18 months ago, but the venerable old Elephant
is definitely on the comeback trail.
The Party itself has done tion.
•i '
much to return to a broader
political road which more peo­ple
will follow (even if some­what
less vehemently) how­ever
one man, John Lindsay,
has brought the ailing pachy­derm
back to prominence.
Lindsay had to win and he
did. The national press had two
years ago built up GOP'er
Charles Percey as the great
new, Republican name while
Percey battled incumbent Otto
Kerner for the governorship of
Illinois. The GOP's only prob­lem
was that Percey lost
(though he's now once again
being eyed as a prospect for
bigger and better things).
The press gave Lindsay the
same kind of buildup Percey
received and the liberal Re­publican
came through with a
giant victory in overwhelming­ly
Democratic New York City.
(Whether or not the press, a-larmed
over the depressed state
of GOP affairs, decided to pick
out a likely suspect and push
him hard figuring that such a
move would be in the best na­tional
interest, is a behind-the-scenes
story worth investigat­ing.)
It is generally agreed that if
Lindsay can bring order out of
the governmental chaos which
exists in jungle-like New York,
then the Kennedyish Republi­can
may well be the man tap­ped
to head the GOP ticket in
'72 against ironically, a Ken­nedy-
somebody combine).
For '68 it looks like Richard
Nixon will carry the GOP
standard. And don't count Nix­on
as anywhere near an auto­matic
loser. He will be step­ping
into an ideal upset situa-
America may not go for the
current Democratic offering of
an extended war, increased
taxes (they appear to be just
a matter of time), and huge
government expenditures all at
once. If waste and inefficiency
are allowed to creep into the
picture in their usual propor­tion,
then LBJ may be retired
to his Texas ranch on short
notice.
Nixon, or whoever carries the
Republican colors, will also
have a strengthened support­ing
cast. Governor Mark Hat­field
Of Oregon is tabbed as a
real comer, House Minority
Leader Gerald Ford is looking
better each day, and there's
Robert Taft, said to have re­covered
political prominence
even though soundly whipped
in a recent attempt to unseat
Senator Stephen Young. And
don't forget Georgia's Bo Calla­way,
leader of the GOP's new
southern wing.
The lesson that Republicans
needed to learn from 1964's
results was that there must be
a place for the Goldwaters, the
Romneys, the Nixons, and the
Lindsays under one political
roof. The Democrats are mas­ters
of the three-ring political
circus, having greatly bene­fited
from diversity for many
years.
If the GOP can come up with
some do-something programs
and capture some of the labor
and minority group vote while
managing to keep what voters
they've currently 'got, then the
Grand Old Party should rise
quickly from a near-fatal
slump. The two-party system
must prevail.
The Greasy Soapbox .... .
State Political Situation
Cuts Distasteful Picture
By Sansing Smith
Politicians are all around us, and we are
in the middle of two big campaigns—one for
positions in our own student government, and one for various
offices in the state of Alabama.
As responsible voters, we now take a long, hard look at the
candidates and their campaigns.
Let us take the typical Ala­bama
politician—the one who
brings his wash-tub band and
his twangy guitars to Toomer's
Corner, who makes a lot of
noise and a lot of promises. His
band and his singers succeed
in drawing a crowd; but as soon
as the band breaks up, so does
the crowd.
There is something wrong
somewhere in a situation like
that. Does the fault lie in the
audience, the candidate, or
both?
Perhaps the audience just
isn't concerned enough about
good government. It wants to
be entertained and that is all.
In any other situation we might
say so, but not on Toomer's
Corner. More than likely, the
candidate has insulted the in­telligence
level of his listeners,
they get disgusted, and leave.
The speaker does not realize
that we are college students
and that many of the towns­people
are faculty members. He
has sadly underestimated his
audience.
But the sadder truth lies in
the reason why the state poli­tician
campaigns on such a level
all over Alabama. He knows
he must appeal to the greatest
number of people to get the
greatest number of votes, and
so he gives the voters what
they want.
The voters expect, accept,
and elect the man with the big
band and the floor show and
the home-folks approach, the
man who yells the loudest and
works up the biggest sweat
pounding the lectern.
Alabama voters just don't
want—and don't deserve — a
higher calibre campaign.
Today, everybody is for pro­gress—
everybody is for indus­try,
everybody is for highways,
everybody is for education.
(The only real issue in Ala­bama
politics seems to be de­fiance.)
But nobody is for intelli­gence.
We haven't demanded
intelligent campaigns by in­telligent
candidates from which
to choose intelligent officials.
We don't worry too much
about our "national image."
(Once upon a time there was an
Alabama governor who had his
picture in the paper sitting
barefoot in his undershirt on
the veranda of the Governor's
Mansion on Sunday morning.
' And I have cringed many times
at a nationally televised speech
by some Alabama official who
mumbled unintelligibly and,
made gross grammatical mis­takes.)
I am not saying that all Ala­bama
politicians are dumb and
ignorant. I am saying that few
Alabama politicians campaign
on an intelligent level, and the
sad truth of the matter is that
they can't. Not if they want to
be elected.
It is high time we looked out
at the rest of the nation and
realized that the world is turn­ing
and Alabama had better
turn with it.
We can appropriate millions
for education, but we had bet­ter
wipe the smug, self-righte­ous
smiles off our faces until
we ourselves can behave like
educated, intelligent people. I
fear the process will be a long
and painful one.

After The Blood Drive . . .
Birmingham News Shows
Excess 'Bama Slant
By Jerry Brown
When the Auburn blood drive, which
broke several national records, made the sec­ond
page of The Birmingham News, a few blood pressure records
were broken on campus also. The story was stuck on page two,
with no pictures and none of the paper's traditional prose.
Fraternity houses, dormitories, and boarding • houses echoed a
common anger at the sheet. The need to be done toward putting
cry went up: "Bama Lover's,
Down with Marshall and his
kind!," etc. The reverberations
were critical and damning;
some wanted to take up arms.
To those of us here who are
image "sensitive" and who have
an ingrained loyalty for Au­burn,
The Birmingham News
continuously rubbing salt in
old wounds is like sliding down
a razor blade into a pool of
rubbing alcohol. There are
many good reasons why this
particular story might have
made just the second page—
late copy, no space, and other
little obstacles which often in­fluence
page make-up. Despite
all this, the News' policy of
regurgitating every whim and
whimper from the Capstone is
less than sporting. Perhaps it's
time for a little crying out.
In the first place, this blood
drive was planned far enough
in advance that the News could
have sent a photographer down
to see what the score was. (Fol­lowing
the Alabama blood drive
last fall, which was designed to
beat Auburn, there was a pic­torial
display and glowing
write-up about the patriotic
Red Tide.)
Coursing through the paper
daily, one can come upon one
article after another dealing
with the University of Ala­bama,
its students, beauty con­tests,
janitor of the month,
whatever. Sports page readers
report that the articles, to a
large extent, lean more than
the Tower of Pisa toward Tus­caloosa.
This is not to discredit The"
Birmingham News; it is proba­bly
the state's best daily news­paper.
But something does
Auburn a little nearer the
reader. Of course the News
does an excellent job of scien­tific
advancements of Auburn's
scientists, this is a tribute. How­ever,
farm news is not common
to the average Auburn student;
football is; campus news is.
These accusations, and pro­tests,
by Auburn students are
not to suggest malice on the
part of the editors. Alabama
has a great many alumni, far
more than Auburn, on the
News staff. Ethnocentric loyal­ty
should be reflected. But not
en toto. Auburn's coverage has
been meager. And Auburn
doesn't want to be second place
—especially to the University
of Alabama. Once a year is
more than enough.
The total number of inches
of news copy which are donated
to Auburn in The Birmingham
News, to clarify, is not small.
The number of stories, although
less than Alabama's, are not
few; but the way they are
handled and the manner of
newspaper display, make a very
evident breach.
Believing that we might have
had an axe to grind we asked a
few "innocent bystanders" what
they thought. Our being No. 2
sometimes, and Alabama, jokes
about the "Cow College" might
have bred some sort of "we
try harder, fight backism" and
a touch of inferiority complex,
we thought. But our informed
, sources saw Alabama as The
Birmingham News' fair haired
boy all the way.
Whatever happens here in
the future we are hoping for
more than we have been get­ting
from The Birmingham
News.
Despite 'Lett' Winning Streak...
Conservatives, Liberals
Must Continue Dialogue
By Bruce Nichols
When one examines the current list of
great Presidents, great movements, great de­cisions,
the relatively diminutive status of the conservative view­point
in all things political becomes apparent. By conservative,
is meant opposition to things "liberal," and liberal for use here
may be defined as radically new.
Who are the Presidents uni­versally
considered to be great? '
The names Washington, Jef­ferson,
Jackson, Lincoln, Theo­dore
and Franklin Roosevelt,
and Woodrow Wilson, give or
take a few here or there, come
to mind. We hail these men as
leaders of vigor, wisdom, the
greats of a bygone hour. With
the exception of perhaps Wash-i
n g t o n and Jefferson, all
brought radically new ideas to
the White House. And even
Washington and Jefferson can­not
escape the liberal "taint,"
the former being the first
President of a country embark­ing
on a radically experimental
course of government, and the
latter baldly by-passing Con­gress
to complete the Lousiana
Purchase.
In fact, a search for a con­servative-
liberal conflict, from
which the advocates of the
tried and proven have emerged
victorious, appears fruitless.
A search for the great con­servative
voice in American
political history again leaves
one at a loss.
After Washington and Jeffer­son,
the list is scanty. "Of
notable strength was Henry
Cabot Lodge, Sr. But his sta­ture
shrinks in the shadow of
his short-sighted opposition to
U.S. membership in the League
of Nations. To a latter-day
observer, Lodge's stand ap­pears
indefensible—but at the
beginning of this century few
Americans desired involvement
in European affairs. World War
I strengthened this sentiment
and so the burden of proof lay
on Wilson and his new idea,
not Lodge.
The Lodge-Wilson conflict is
no peculiar example. In the
past, the burden of proof al­ways
rested on the advocate of
change, the "liberal." In the
"old days," the liberal was
looked upon mistrustfully as a
Practicality ". . .
Hope Of Viet Nam
Lies In Formation
Of A Dictatorship
By Ron Castille
The recent anti-American
demonstrations in Viet Nam it­self
cast a revealing light on
the dilemma that the United
States faces in the Vietnamese
conflict.
You hear the cries of "get
out of Viet Nam" and "Yankee
go h o m e,"
but this is
not what the
demonst r a-tors
in Viet
N a m really
w a n t The
thing t h at
t h e s e mili-t
a n t anti-
Americ a n s
are r e al 1 y
protesting is
the influence
of the U.S. in the government
of Viet Nam and the affairs of
the people of that country. The
cries should be "get out of Viet­namese
politics" instead.
If we do go along with these
demands, we will be in a dang­erous
situation and this is the
dilemma that we face. Without
U.S. aid and support, the gov­ernment
of Viet Nam will un­doubtedly
collapse under the
assault of the factious religious
sects predominant in Viet Nam.
But, to carry on an effective
effort against the Viet Cong it
is necessary to have a strong
central government in order to .
organize indigenous military
forces and to organize the vital
aspect of public opinion against
the Viet Cong aggressors, a
force that necessarily lives off
the land, and with the people
of the land.
To state the matter simply,
our end purpose is to drive the
Viet Cong out of South Viet­nam.
To do this requires a
strong central government, and
any strong government needs
our support. If we take away
this support, the government
falls and we defeat our end pur­poses.
What can we do about this
situation? The easiest thing
would be to just withdraw all
our. men and equipment from
Viet Nam and let the commun-
I 1 , I. T II! I
ists have the place. Then we
could sit back and give them
that "you asked for it" smile.
But, obviously we cannot do
this for three reasons. First,
our previous expenditure and
manpower loss is too great a
price to just let the country
fall into communist hands.
Secondly, our prestige would
hit an all-time low over the en­tire
world. Thirdly, we would
be yielding a very rich and
strategically located country to
the enemies of our country.
It looks like we're in Viet
Nam to stay, so we will have
to make do with the situation
we have. Therefore, what we
should do is support or estab­lish
a strong dictatorship in
Viet Nam and have this strong •
government declare martial law"
over the whole country for the
duration of the war. Then we
could carry on our "little war"
without any hindrance from the
indigenous population.
From the recent history of
Viet Nam politics, it is obvious
that the mass of the Vietnamese
people are not ready for a
democratic form of government,
and that such a government is
only prolonging our agony in
that country. For once, we
should let pragmatism be the
watchword, rather than inef­fective
idealism.
threat to security provided by
the status quo.
In this modern day, however,
the conservative is looked upon
askance. We revere few voices
speaking in favor of the "tried
and proven" methods as de­lineated
in this constitution or
that institution. It would seem
that these voices have become
the "obstructionists," not vali­ant
battlers for the old way.
Today strangely enough the
burden of proof rests upon the
conservative. The old way,
rather than the new, must prove
itself. Educated conservatives
seem to have difficulty holding
the attention of the masses in­toxicated
by government wel­fare
and blind to anything be­yond
their "needs."
Liberals have given the
people much needed reform
and have been responsible for
all that is new on the Ameri­can
political scene.
But progress sparked by
liberal ideas has always been
tempered by measured conser­vative
opposition. We must not
permit increasing disregard of
the conservative viewpoint to
cut off this vital dialogue.

or excelling that of our student
body growth.
As a candidate for president
of the Student Body, I have cer­tain
qualifications and certain
aims, purposes, and proposed
programs of work. Even though
some students look at platforms
as "political promises," I feel
that it is my responsibility to
present to you some of the
things that I would like to see
accomplished in the student
government next year.
First of all, I feel that stu­dent
government is the govern­ment
of the students and for
the students. At all times stu­dent
government should strive
to benefit the student body and
strive to make Auburn a better
place to live and to go to school.
For the fiscal year of 1966-
1967, we the students of Au­burn,
will pay approximately
30,000 dollars in student ac­tivities
fees. Directly or indi­rectly,
all of this money goes
for activities, programs, and
projects for the benefit and en­joyment
of the students. -Ifeel
that some of these projects and
programs should be re-evalu­ated
or revamped in an effort
to get the most out of our bud­get.
Upon examination there will
be some programs actually
needing less funds while other
programs, such as intramural
sports for men, which will need
more funds in an effort to
maintain its present status as
well as to expand and get bet­ter.
One project which had its
start this year, and which has a
great potential is the student-teacher
evaluation program. It
is my belief, that this program
should be continued and ex­panded
in an effort to help the
students as well as the instruc­tors.
After this program has been
used enough for the students to
be better able to evaluate the
teachers and after the teachers
have had a chance to make im-iprovements,
I feel that a book­let
should be published with an
evaluation of the different in­structors.
One of the weaker parts of
student government is the com­munication
between the student
government and the Student
Body. I feel that communica­tion
and a better understanding
of student government could be
brought about by the creation
of new elubSj strengthening of
present clubs, better organiza­tion
of the school council and
the school freshman councils.
I feel that the different school
officers should meet periodical­ly
to keep abreast of the de­velopment
and plannings of
By CHARLEY MAJORS
First let me say that I
feel that the Student Body,
insofar as its governing
body is concerned is worth­while.
Otherwise I would
not run for this office. I
t h i n k that perhaps one rea­son-
for student apathy toward
this governing structure is that
too often during the past, things
have not been done as they
should have been.
The next contributing factor
to this apathy is the fact that
students are not informed. This
is partially due to the non-concern
of the students and
partially due to the elected offi­cials'
not getting it to them.
But I do think that president
of
student government.
Each week there should be a
column in the Plainsman de­voted
completely to the actions,
proposals and plans of the Stu­dent
Government in an effort
to make the students, more a-ware
of what is taking place
and hope that they will make
suggestions and take part.
A project that I would like to
initiate this year is to get a
telephone put in every room (or
at least one per suite) in all of
the girls' dormitories.
During August of this year,
the administrative part of Au­burn
is changing over to the
Centrex system. After this
change is made, it will be possi­ble
to have this system estab­lished
in the University owned
dormitories thereby allowing
each girl to have a phone.
Other areas that I plan to
work in this year include:
working with the administra­tion
in effort to improve the
food and (actions and hopes
toward abolishing compulsory
meal tickets) women's dining
hall conditions; steps toward
making the library more useful
to students (longer hours, lower
fines, etc.).
Take immediate steps toward
finding a feasible solution to
our parking and traffic situa­tion;
the possibility of construc­tion
or establishment of an a-musement
center for the stu­dent
which would include a
golf course and a park area;
action toward establishment of
a student radio station.
Projects and accomplish­ments
are possible only through
the work and dedication of
many people. I will work this
year to get more people inter­ested,
involved, working, and
aware of student government
and hope that we can say next
year that student government
has been a great benefit to both
the students and Auburn.

of the Student Body is a neces
sary office, and this is one
the primary reasons why I am
running for it.
Due to my immediate knowl
edge and my having taken an
integral part in what has been
done this year, I have gained
a great deal of experience. And
experience is one thing that is
necessary for progress.
Because I have learned much
from the good things which
have been accomplished this
year, I have a concept of a pro­gram
which I think can be an
effective extension of this
year's work.
Because of a lack of space,
I am not going into what has
already been accomplished this
year and needs to be continued
in the coming years. These
things have been reported in the
Plajnsman and can also be
found in this week's election
supplement.
Instead I want to give you
an insight into what else I
want to do. These are new
things, above that which has
been done this past year. And
let me say that the Student
Body can see progress this past
year; student government can
and will take a great step for­ward.
I know that students tend to
doubt campaign promises. But
you have seen them carried
out this year, and if I am
elected, you will see mine ful­filled
during the coming year
The following are things
which I hope to accomplish
while I am president of the
Student Body:
1. Print the Student Senate
minutes and roll of senators in
the Plainsman each week plus
observations concerning student
government activities.
2. Appoint to the Executive
Cabinet students of responsi­bility
and see that they carry
out their responsibility, or re­place
them with those who will.-
3. Revise the .allocations to
the various student activity
projects, increasing specifical-jly
intramural sports, debate,
and Student Body. I will work
to increase the student interest
and financial support of minor
sports such as gymnastics and
tennis. I will work to see that
the student activities get part
of any raise in tuition.
4. Push for the establish­ment
of a modified student
honor code, upon the recom­mendation
of the committee
which is now working on his.
5. Investigate the possibility
of revising the Senate structure,
having it more in proportion to
size of schools.
6. Work to bring outstand­ing,
responsible speakers on
controversial topics to the cam­pus.
Increase seminars with
use of local speaking talent.
Continue to improve the en­tertainment
program.
7. Plan with the university
for more efficient handling of
the parking and traffic prob­lem,
working on the possibility
of future multi-story parking
lots.
8. Strengthen public rela­tions
and information with
junior colleges and their stu­dents
in preparation for enter­ing
Auburn.
9. Create self-study group to
see if women's rules are satis­factory
or perhaps need modifi­cations.
10. Strive to make all stu­dents
conscious of the Auburn
Spirit by improved pep rallies,
working of cheerleaders, and
student participation.
11. Investigate the possibil­ity
of estabilishing an Inter­national
House.
12. Follow up work on plans
now in progress for expansion
of Union facilities.
13. Work for the establish­ment
of a system for student
cuts in classes by continuing
the efforts of the present stu­dent-
faculty committee.
In addition to accomplishing
these concrete things, I want
to do intangible things such as
making sure that the Student
Body office is a friendly place
for all arid insuring that I am
the type of person who can be
understanding and see into the
depth of a problem, whether it
be one that affects the Student
Body as a whole, one segment,
or one individual. Also I will
attempt to improve my person,
so that I may be a fitting re­presentation
of the Student
Body as a whole.
I will try to continue a stu­dent
government of fairness
and objectivity. In so doing, I
think that this Student Body
will be improved.

In My Opinion
Students List Reasons For Voting
As Responsibility, Democracy
By BRUCE NICHOLS
Do yon plan to vote in the
up-coming student elections?
Why?
Skip Ryan, a freshman in
pre - engineering management,
said, "Yes, I do. It's important
that all student ideas be repre­sented
in the government, be­cause
it's important that they
have some voice in the govern­ment.
"It's been important in the
planning of campus activities
and life. I've seen many schools
that don't have well-organized
activities for government. Here
we have many good activities,"
he added.
Jim Langlois, a freshman
majoring in pre-law, comment­ed,
"I do plan to vote, because
I think it is good training for
the future for a person to as­sume
responsibility of making
a logical, experienced choice.
"Student government appears
to me to be a position of high
esteem. I do respect a person
who holds a position in student
government, but I'm not too
sure as to what it has done for
me personally," Langlois con­cluded.
John McGinnis, a biological
sciences freshman, agreed.
"Yes, I plan to vote. I've got
the right to vote and I feel I
should exercise it; it is the
democratic way," he said.
"I don't know that student
government has done anything
for me personally; but I'd hate
to think of Auburn without a
student government."
A freshman in business ad­ministration,
Gail Burton add­ed,
"Yes, I'm going to vote. Be­cause
I'm a student and because
I think a student should vote
and should participate in the
activities of the university."
"It hasn't directly affected
me a whole lot that I know of."
Betty Henkin, a junior ele­mentary
education major, gave
her reasons for voting.
"Yes, I plan to vote—because
I get fined $5 if I don't. I just
want to help put the people in
office who will give the senate
more voice. I think the senate
should have more power in stu-

common opponents . . . the University of Alabama.
Auburn and Alabama usually play in everything playable
from pigskin to pinochle, but not baseball. When I looked at the
records of the two teams, I first thought that the Tide j might
not be too eager to play the Tigers since they aren't exactly
tearing up the wesiern division of the league while the Tigers
are holding their own in the east. Then I thought again . . . I
better not let my feelings toward Alabama get the best of
me . . . I had better check with Coach Nix.
The Real Reason . . .
According to Coach Nix, the two teams played up until a
few years ago when the series ceased by mutual agreement
of the two schools.
The late "Happy" Campbell, coach at Alabama, was in ill
health at the time. Feeling that the intense rivialry between
the two schools might be too much for his health, Coach Camp­bell
asked that the two schools not play one year. An agree­ment
was reached but the series has not started back.
Joe Sewell, former Cleveland Indian scout, is now coaching
Alabama's baseball team. Since Coach Nix came to Auburn
three years ago, Auburn has tried to schedule the Crimson
Tiders, but it's been like the Americans and the Russians trying
to agree on something.. . . almost impossible. You can't blame
one team or the other. Its just one of those things.
Since the two schools are in separate divisions, a game
between the teams would be like playing an independent as
far as the conference race goes. It just wouldn't count.
The Question . . .
The question that must be answered before Alabama and
Auburn meet again on the baseball diamond is whether or
not a win over the state rival would be worth the price.
To quote Coach Nix, "I'm not willing to play them just
anytime. If we play them, I want to use the best we have
and really try to beat them. The problem is that if we played
them we would use one of our pitchers who would normally
start against conference competition. We would have to be
able to schedule the game at a time convenient for both schools
and this is hard to do."
Even though scheduling difficulties would arise, Coach Nix
has contacted officials at the Capstone, but he has had no ac­ceptance
of his offers to play. Apparently, Alabama isn't in the
mood to play Auburn.
Alabama's refusal or inability to play Auburn has led
Auburn to schedule games with area independents such as
Georgia Tech, Miami, and FSU. Alabama meets Samford Uni­versity
(Howard College) and Livingston State as independent
foes.
A Tide-Tiger battle is unlikely in the near future, but I,
for one, would like to play them. I would like even more to
beat them.

Tiger Spikes Sharpened For Duel
With Tide Thinclads At Capstone
By RALPH BYRAM
When the Auburn track team faces cross-state rival
Alabama this Saturday in Tuscaloosa, the Tigers will be
hoping to duplicate last week's thrashing of Georgia.
With Tom Christopher leading the way, the Auburn thin
clads routed Georgia 103-42 Saturday.
Christopher smashed two
Presently the only chance Alabama and Auburn have of
meeting is for both teams to win their division title and meet
for the conference championship.
Auburn has won the division crown for the past three years
but Alabama hasn't been so fortunate, so the prospects aren't
real good for a confrontation.
dual meet records and an all-time
Cliff Hare Stadium record
in the process. His pole-vault
of 15'1" was good enough to
erase the 12-year old Cliff Hare
record of 14' 7M>" and his high
jump of 6'5" bettered the old
Georgia-Auburn dual meet re­cord
of 6*4" set in 1933. In
addition, Christopher collected
another win the 120 yard high
hurdles.
Charles Bentley scored wins
in the 100 and 220 yard dashes.
Wade Curington came through
with victories in the 440 dash
and the broad jump, with a
leap of 22' 9%".
In the field, Andy Gross
scored triumphs in the shot and
discus. Auburn's field strength
was increased with Mike Jack­son
coming to form in the java-lin
throw, winning the event
with a toss of 190' 8". Jack­son's
throw was the best an
Auburn man has thrown in
five years.
Also scoring victories for Au­burn
were Vic Kelley with a
9:34.5 two mile time, Glenn Mc-
Waters with a 4:25.1, and Bill
Meadows with a leap of 44'
8%" in the triple-jump.
Auburn's weakest event was
the intermediate hurdles, with
Georgia taking the first three
places. Coach Mel Rosen said
that the event would be
strenghtened when Dan Loftin
recovers from a leg injury.
Rosen hopes that Loftin and
Joe Bush will be active again
for this Saturday's meet with
Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
Georgia's forces did not meet
expectations. Sprinter and
broad jumper ace Leo Cooper
could manage only a 10:6 100
yard dash and a broad jump of
19', event in which he is cap­able
of 23'.

Determination Pay
Scottsboro's David
By BOB BUISSON
It looks as if Coach Bill
Lynn will not be getting a
new suit this year. At least
Coach Q. K. Carter of
Scottsboro High School will
not be buying the Auburn
basketball coach a suit.
Coach Lynn can blame it all
on David Hurt.
When Hurt came to Auburn
to try out for the team, Coach
Carter wrote Coach Lynn a
two page letter promising to
buy him a new suit if Hurt did
not play ball for Auburn.
Coach Carter had confidence in
his best ball player of 1965 and
David Hurt lived up to that
confidence when he signed a
grant-in-aid with Auburn last
week.
Even though David had of-

tacts made by out of state
schools. "I just wanted to be
close to home," says Hurt.
When it came down to Ala­bama
schools, Auburn was
about the only place that
Hurt really considered. "Au­burn
has always been in the
family," says David. "We are
all Auburn people, and my
cousin, Bo Davis, played foot­ball
here."
As a freshman, Hurt aver­aged
only nine points per
game, but his rebounding aver­age
was 13 per contest. The
6'5" 200 pounder scored a
high of 22 points against Geor­gia
Tech and grabbed 17 re­bounds
against the Alabama
frosh.

The Intramural Scene . . .
Hall Of Fame?
Remembering
By DON SCOTT
If there were an Auburn Intramural Hall of Fame, it
would include some of the finest athletes ever to don
intramural togs.
Names such as AGR's great pitcher Harold Watts
would come to mind and teams like last quarter's Trafs
basketball squad.
This week I would like to call
time out to single out this ball-club.
The coach is sparkplug Joe
Conney. Joe played guard for
the team and averaged 12 points
a game. He hails from Harris-burg,
Penn.
The Trafs very simply, have
not lost a game in two years,
copping the Independent Cham­pionship
both years with 21
straight triumphs. They can't
be beaten and that is an intra­mural
certainty.
The people who saw it will
never forget the Trafs first
game last quarter with Chi Phi.
They sunk 51 baskets and scor­ed,
what is probably an all time
high, 109 points. A couple of
weeks later they scored 90
against the Hustlers. Later in
the season they belted the
Bronks 84-39.
Their closest game in two
years was their 47-44 win over
Air Force. Said Coach Cooney,
"One of our boys got hurt and
we just couldn't hit."
The other guard , is Ronald
Smith from Moulton, Alabama.
Ron averaged about nine points
a game and was perhaps the
best defender on the squad.
The Trafs center is Gene
Mikkelson, a Foley boy who
handled the post, averaging
about eight points per game.
It is in the forward spot that
the Trafs excel, with Seth
Young and Jim Bauer. Both
averaged over 15 points per
game. Young from Memphis,
Tenn. made the Independent
All-star team this year.
Jim Bauer made the All-lea­gue
team this year and the All-star
team last year.
All of the starting five are
graduate students in the School
of Agriculture. Bauer, Smith,
and Michelson are seeking
Masters in Agronomy, while
Cooney and Young are after
doctorates in Entomology.
One of the secrets to the
Trafs success has been its
bench; composed of John Mc­Afee
and Billie Ray Hatley, no
stranger to any one who follow­ed
PKT's championship drive
last year.
OTHER SPORTS
Remember the Hawks, last
year's Fall Independent football
championship team? Or last
summer's Forest Hill's cham­pionship
squads in both softball
and volleyball? You guessed it.
There were Trafs on those
squads.
Tiger Spring Grid Work Opens;
Jordan Looking For New Defense
Drake Field will be alive with activity the next
couple of weeks as Coach Ralph Jordan and his staff
began molding the 1966 Auburn Tiger Football team.
Facing Jordan and his staff is the challenge of re­building
an almost totally depleted defensive line. Only
end Marvin Tucker returns
from the defensive line that
opened the Liberty Bowl battle
against Ole Miss.
Offensively, the Tiger head
man must find a quarterback.
Alex Bowden and Tom Bryan
carried the load last season, but
Bryan is now a fullback of
whom Jordan expects a lot this
year. Bowden is lost to gradua­tion.
After the first practice ses­sions,
Coach Jordan had a few
observations to make.

"We have a lot of people who
are going both ways. It will

"We have several veterans
who have proved in thje past
that they can do the job for us,
but that doesn't guarantee them
a starting position in the fall.
Everybody has an equal chance
and must prove himself every
day."
As for as conditioning goes,
Jordan noted that "as a group,

shape, but those who aren't will

for Tuesday, Wednesday, Fri­day,

The first all-out scrimmage
date is not definite, but Jordan
said that it would probably not
come before Saturday.
Coach Jordan will be break­ing

Has Booming Bat
By ALAN HINDS
Frank Fryer, Auburn's senior1 left fielder, carries a
shank of dead ash that booms in the spring.
This season Fryer has clobbered opponent's pitching
for a .48-1 batting average, in leading the Tigers' drive
to win their fourth straight eastern division title.
Last year, Flyer's bat unloaded for a solid .373 batting aver­age,
punching 14 of his 28 hits for extra bases. Franks' slugging
performance led the nation in
triples and finished fourth in
the nation in total bases.
"He's a good one," said base­ball
coach Paul Nix. "Frank's

AN AUBURN WINNER . . . PAUL NIX
Nix Is Producing
Winning Tradition
By TY COPPINGER
One cannot argue with
success, and this is the one
thing that Auburn baseball
coach Paul Nix has had
since taking over the Tigers
in 1963.
Since Nix has been at the
helm, the Tigers have captured
three straight Eastern Division
championships, and won the
SEC title his first year here.
In SEC competition Nix
coached teams have won 45 of
58 games including playoffs.
Overall, the Tigers have a 60-
27 worksheet in Nix's three
years.
There are three main factors
in the success that Nix has en­joyed—
hard work, discipline,
and leadership.
"I believe that a coach should
work as hard as his players do,"
he said. "Athletics are the near­est
thing to hard work that
the young people of today have,
so this is where we try to
show them what it is, and how
it can pay off."
"The hardest thing that a
person has to do is to learn to
discipline himself, and once he
has done this, he is on the road

to success."
Leadership can be gotten in
many ways, but the type that
Coach Nix prefers is "example
leadership." "This is the best
type of leadership, because the
boys who put out that extra
effort emerge as the leaders.
This type of leadership is a
catching type, and if one man
shows that he is a leader, the
other eight will try a little
harder to help him get the vic­tory.
Also, with this type, a
sophomore can be a leader as
well as a senior."
"Reno," as he is known to
his ^players, explains his base­ball
strategy as "the kind that
the 'Old Gashouse Gang' of the
St. Louis Cardinals used to
Play."
"We have a little saying that
describes it pretty well," he
remarked, "and it is 'Hit 'em,
Go get 'em, and Slide on both
sides'."
Nix says, "it is very hard to
distinguish between baseball
and life. The lessons that we
try to teach our kids while they
are here are the type that we
can be used in life. This is
what we like to do for the
boys."
He has a good background in
the sport as he played three
years in the Pittsburg Pirate
organization. He hit over .300
each of the three years as a
first baseman and a pitcher.
Before coming to Auburn, Nix
coached football, basketball,
and baseball at Troy State, his
alma mater, for six years.
Yes, no one can argue with
success, and it looks like there
will be no arguments over the
Tigers as long as Coach Paul
Nix is around.

Alabama Tennis Team
Battles Auburn Netters
By JIMMY POOLE
After posting their first win of the season last Thurs­day,
the Auburn tennis team will be seeking revenge
when they play the University of Alabama tomorrow.
The Tigers, 9-0 losers to Alabama at Tuscaloosa, will
host the Crimson Tide netters at 1:30 on the Auburn
tennis courts.
Auburn netted their first vic­tory,
downing Huntington by a
score of 8-1, on the Huntington
courts in Montgomery.
The Tigers won five of the
six singles matches and all
three of the doubles matches to
take the very decisive victory.
Charles Frye's 6-1, 6-0 defeat
by Huntington's first ranked
player, George Mathison, was
the only Auburn loss of the day.
Winning in singles matches
for the Tigers were Norman
Waldrop 7-5, 8-6, over Hunt­ingdon's
Stan Self; Eddie Wil­liamson,
6-4, 6-0, over Randy
Williamson, 6-4, 6-0, over Ran­dy
Coleman; Bob Hurst, 6-2,
6-2, over David Tatum; Eddie
Lynch, 6-3, 6-4, over David
Myrick; and Ralph Doughton
6-2, 3-6, 6-3, over Terry Smith.
In the doubles matches, Au­burn's
Fryeand Waldrop team­ed
up to defeat Huntington's
Mathison and Tatum, 6-2, 6-3;
Tiger Williamson and Hurst de­feated
Self and Coleman 6-2,
6-0; and Auburn's Lynch and
Doughon defeated the Hawk's
Smith and Myrick 6-0, 6-0.
On Friday the team journey­ed
to Montevallo to play the
Alabama College Falcons who
were trying for their 13th
straight win. After the six sin­gles
matches and two of the
three doubles matches had been
played, the score was tied at
4-4. In the final doubles match,
Alabama College's James Tay­lor
and Paul Kellog managed to
sneak by Auburn's Eddie Wil­liamson
and Bob Hurst 7-5, 10-
8, to take a narrow 5-4 victory.
Winning singles matches for
the Tigers were Bob Hurst, Ed­die
Williamson, a n d Eddie
Lynch. Lynch and Doughton
won the only doubles match.

The Auburn freshman base­ball
team won their first three

and beating Robert E.

The Lee Generals fell to Au­burn
Friday afternoon by an
11-3 count. Johnny Hennen of
Chattanooga, Tenn., was the
winning pitcher.
The frosh spotted the Col­onels
a 6-0 lead in the third
inning but came back to win
9-7.
Pitcher Rodney Wallace led
the frosh to a 5-2 victory over
Woodlawn in the first game
Saturday. In addition to limit­ing
the visitors to two runs,
Wallace rapped two hits and,
drove in two runs.
Going into the sixth inning,
the game was tied 1-1, but Au­burn
exploded for four runs
and the 5-2 margin.
With the Cubs trailing 6-1
in the fourth inning, Paul
Burch led a seven-run Auburn
attack with a three-run homer
over the right field fence to
put his team ahead 8-6.

The 'Flying Tiger'
Breaks Record
By PHIL PARKER
Breaking records has become a habit for Auburn's
Tom Christopher.
Christopher has been setting pole vault records since
his high school days at Deshler High in Tuscumbia when
he was Class A pole vault state champion. His leap of
12' 6" went down as the best , ,
"We need a leader who can
boost the morale of the team,
and we feel like Torn can ac­complish
that for us," Rosen
said.
ever.
He came to Auburn without a
scholarship and was granted
one after his freshman year.
After a successful soph year,
great things were expected
from Christopher in his junior
year, but a broken ankle put
him on the sidelines most of
the season.
"The loss of Tom during the
'65 season was one of the major
reasons for Auburn's inability
to be a stronger contender in
the conference," track coach
Mel Rosen said.
This season has found Chris­topher
continuing his assault on
SEC records.
SIXTH BEST IN NATION
He holds the SEC mark with
a vault of 15' 6%" and stands
in sixth place among the na­tion's
pole vaulters.
"My greatest thrill in track
has to be either holding the
conference record or being se­lected
as the most outstanding
performer in the conference in­door
meet," he said. The indoor
meet was held in Montgomery
at the Coliseum Relays.
Christopher's abilities are not
limited to vaulting. He high
jumps 6' 2" consistently and
runs the hurdles. He took sec­ond
place in the Coliseum Re­lays
in the high jump with a
6' 2" mark.
"My two older brothers were
vaulters," he said. "They got me
interested in pole vaulting and
I've been doing it ever since."
Christopher uses a fiber glass
pole in his vaulting attempts.
FUTURE PLANS
"I hope to make it to the
NCAA meet," he said. "I also
want to participate in the AAU
meet this summer.
Rosen said that Christopher's
performances in the pole vault
add to the morale of the Au­burn
track team.
Team effort, according to
Christopher, is more important
than individual performances.
He said that his main objective
is to get as many points for Au­burn
as possible.
His efforts in the pole vault,
high jump, and hurdles cer­tainly
add his share of points to
the Tiger cause.
