Support Of Wallace
Auburn's support of Governor
Wallace's proposed educational
program and a $10
million bond issue for public
education was announced by
Dr. Robert C. Anderson, executive
vice president, in a
speech to the Faculty Club last
Wednesday.
Dr. Anderson stated that the
presidents of the state institutions
of h i g h e r education
agreed that Gov. Wallace's
proposal w a s "educationally
and financially sound." They
also unanimously agreed to
make it their program and to
support efforts to have it passed
in the legislature.
By CHARLEY MAJORS
"If G o v e r n o r Wallace's
'package program' is passed by
the legislature," said Anderson,
"it will be the first time in
the history of the state, I believe,
that there was a major
percentage increase in funds
for education in the second
b i e n n i u m of a governor's
term."
A $110 million bond issue
for public education was proposed
in Anderson's speech.
This prospect was a request for
funds in two areas—$50 million
for higher education and
$6Q.;milJion for, public schools.
The High Cost Of Failure: Part One . . .
Failures In One Chemistry Class
Cost University Estimated $3033
By HARRY HOOPER and JIMMY STEPHEN8
Auburn lost $3033 in one freshman chemistry class last
quarter due to the failure of almost 60 per cent of the class.
The class began with 89 students.
At the end of the quarter
51 students or (57.3 per cent)
failed and 13 made D's. Only
25 or (or 28 per cent) made an
A, B or C. And many students
in chemistry are in pre-pro-fessional
or pre-engineering
curricula, meaning that D
grades usually require repetition.
A check with the Office of
Institutional Research indicated
that the University spent $59.48
per student per four-hour
chemistry course (according to
t'-i Comments And Analysis
1960-61 figures.) This amounts
to a;total of $5340 in the 89-
member class. And at least
$3033 worth of the students will
have to take the course again.
Students entering Auburn
must have a composite mean
The mean ACT composite for
the class under consideration
was 22, just about an average
score for this year's freshmen.
The average failure rate for
all 103 chemistry classes last
fall was 25.6 per cent while the
average for all 104 classes was
a considerably higher 37.3 per
cent.
QUESTIONS
These results present interesting
questions.
Are Auburn students incapable?
Or are they lazy?
A r e freshman chemistry
courses too comprehensive?
Are instructors inadequate?
Are the tests too difficult?
In order to gain some insight
into the problems of high failure
rates in the particular class, we
asked the instructor what he
considered the main contributing
factors.

The $50 million, if passed,
will be used for the construction
of needed facilities for
higher education. Included will
be funds for health-related facilities
at the University of
Alabama Medical Center and
Auburn, along with funds for
other teaching and laboratory
facilities at Auburn.
The rest of the fund would
be divided among the state institutions
of higher learning.
Priority would be given to
the construction of an auditorium-
physical education center
for Auburn. Support of the
$4.5 million for this building
"has : been promised by Gov.
Wallace and the Auburn administration.
Funds will be
provided either by the bond
issue or from state surplus
funds which are provided in
the Governor's package plan.
With this proposed bond is-.
sue, Auburn will send to the
legislature an additional list
of needed buildings for the
university which will cost
about $30 million.
Governor Wallace's package
program for increases in education
funds contains the following
proposals.
A 13 per cent increase in
state appropriations for public
schools is included, containing
a 10 per cent raise in teachers'
salaries. A program to provide
free textbooks to public school
students through the twelth
grade is proposed.
A 20 per cent increase in appropriations
for public higher
education is also contained in
the proposed package along
with funds to support the trade
schools and junior colleges.
Anderson included in his
address the fact that "only
about one-third of Auburn's
annual operating budget comes
from state appropriations."
"A 2d per cent increase in
that one-third of the budget
woUld' by no means allow us
to increase salaries by 20 per
cent," Anderson emphasized.

Freshmen will not be permitted to bring cars to
Auburn next fall, nor will sophomores be able to drive
cars on the main campus during normal school hours
These changes, proposed unanimously
by the Traffic Control
Committee, were approved
by President Ralph B.
Draughon Monday in an at-r
tempt to relieve traffic congestion
on the campus.
This fall 875 freshmen had
"D" zone stickers and could
not drive on campus during
normal class hours. Sophomores
had 1575 cars in "C and
D"r zones and could drive on
campus anytime.
2500 CARS OUT
Thernew system will eliminate
2500 vehicles which contribute
to campus traffic congestion
during normal class
hours.
Freshman married students
will be allowed to have cars
with' "D" classification and
married sophomores may have
the equivalent of a "C" zone
sticker just as they have now.
Married student wives working

Four New Girls' Dorms Proposed;
forces Cut-Off
Because of limited dormitory facilities, Auburn University
cannot consider applications from women students that were
received after Dec. 31, 1964, for the 1965 summer and fall
quarters, President Ralph B. Draughon announced Sunday. A
record number of applications from women were received
during the months of October, November and December, he
stated.
President Draughon a l so
stated that he plans to ask the
University's Board of Trustees
for authority to construct four
additional dormitories for women
as quickly as possible. Three
new dormitories would provide
housing for 440 additional coeds
and are planned as a part
of South Women's Dormitory
Complex. Three dormitories
housing 330 students are now
under construction in this complex
and will be completed in
time for the fall quarter, 1965.
Residents of Alabama and
daughters of alumni who met
the University's admissions requirements
have been given
priority among the freshman
w o m e n applicants needing
dormitory space. Not all of
those who are academically
eligible and who applied prior
to Dec. 31 can be accepted, Dr.
Draughon added. This year's
record number of applications
from eligible women students
has brought about the earliest
cut-off date in Auburn's history,
he pointed out.
Women students who com-
Orthopedic Surgeon Cites Scurfing Danger
mute or whose home is in Auburn
can still apply for admission.
Housing is available for
admissable women students
who wish to enroll for the
summer quarter only.
Auburn University this fall
will operate 21 dormitories for
women with a capacity of approximately
2000. The University
requires all women students
to reside in dormitories
under supervision unless they
commute from their homes in
Auburn.

Court Action Restricts Picketing
At Dormitory Construction Site

A court order limited picketing as work continued this week
at the site of three new women's dormitories despite a ten-day-old
strike.

Ahhistant » \ V H Kdltor
America's latest means of recreation,
scurfboarding, is one of
the most dangerous crazes that
the younger set has come out
with, a Columbus, Ga., bone
specialist has told the Plainsman.
The specialist said he had
treated a number of accidents
caused by the sport in children
and adults alike—ranging from
broken limbs to serious head injuries
such as skull fractures and
blood clots.
AUBURNITE INJURED
' One of the most serious injures
reported was that of an Auburn
student, James Stacey, who underwent
brain surgery as the result
of a fall he suffered when
"scurfing" down a hill at Che-wacla
State Park two weeks
ago.
"Sidewalk surfing" or "scurfing,"
as the pasttime is called,
is by no means new to the American
scene. Mother and Daddy
remember the skate board, which
is exactly the
same thing as
its m o d e rn
counterp a r t ,
t h e "scurf-board."
The contraption
was given
its c u r r e nt
name by landlocked
youths who wished to
have a sport equivalent to the
marine scene's obsession, surfing.
But unlike a spill into the
deep blue sea, a tumble onto
pavement can really hurt!
DANGER
The danger of the skate board,
the bone specialist said, is partially
due to its mechanical con--
struction. The board rarely
t stands higher than four inces off
the ground, and the average rider
is anywhere from four to six
feet tall. This affords little
chance for the rider to balance
himself properly.
The wider boards are safer because
they have a wider wheel
base and better center of gravity.
While some scurfing boards
have rotating caster-type wheels,
most of them have rigid wheels
(See page 5, column 2)
The temporary injunction
which restricts pickets to "no
more than two" was filed in
Lee County circuit court by Associated
Mechanical Contractors
against Plumbers and Steamfit-ters
Union, local 323, of Columbus.
"We hope there will be no
delay. The contractor is very
concerned about not losing
time," said Col. Linwood E.
Funchess, director of buildings
and grounds.
J. C. Sizemore, superintendent
of Associated Mechanical
Contractors, says "work will
continue on schedule and the
dorms will be completed in
time for fall occupancy."
"All union labor which walked
off the job has been replaced
by non-union labor," Sizemore
said.
Harvey Knowles, business
manager of the union, says
union plumbers quit when they
were- refused fringe benefits,
travel pay, and other job conditions
which he refused to
elaborate on.
The dispute, according to
Sizemore, arose when AMCO
hired a non-union welder on
another job outside Auburn,
As a result, all jobs contracted
by AMCO have been picketed
by the union.
Scurfer Improves
From Head Injury
By PEGGY TOMLINSON
"Scurfer" James Stacey, Auburn
student from Foley is improving
and will probably be
out of the recovery room at
Columbus Medical Center in
another 10 days according to a
friend of the family.
Stacey's condition is much
better but it will be a long
time before he will be back at
Auburn, the friend said.
Stacey is in Medical Center
in ' Columbus suffering from
what his doctor, Dr. Jack Griffin,
termed a "serious head injury"
suffered while he was
"scurfing" at Chewacla State
Park. Dr. Griffin was not
available for any report today.
Stacey fell two weeks ago
from a "scurf" board at Chewacla.
He was taken to Drake
Infirmary, and then transferred
to Columbus Medical
Center.

INCONVENIENCE
"We realize it will be an inconvenience
to the students
concerned," Col. Funches said,
"but when a university reaches
the size of Auburn eliminating
freshman vehicles and restricting
sophomores is the
general procedure."
Student members of the
committee s a y the system
should not be enacted unless
a new means of classifying
students for parking privileges
(not affecting regular classes)
can be found.
"People three quarters from
graduation wouldn't even be
allowed to bring a car to Auburn
without this clarification,"
said Bunny Spratling, student
committee member. "We feel
the assignment of ' z o n e s'
should be based on curriculum
hours completed or the number
of quarters a student has
spent in residency," he concluded.
MORE PARKING
More transient parking (Auburn
has none now) and more
staff and faculty parking are
termed by Funchess as an absolute
necessity. Complete re-zoning
may be necessary to
complete the plan. The installing
of parking meters was included
among the suggestions.
"Now that the basic changes
have been made, the committee
will meet i probably in
March to implement the solution,"
Funchess stated, "and if
we continue to get student support
we don't anticipate any
problems."
Members of the Traffic Control
Committee are Col. Funchess,
Dr. Ben Lanham, Professors
E. O. Jones, S. L. Thompson,

'Witch-hunting' Comedy
Playing In Washington
By Don Phillips
Everyone is subversive but me and thee,
and sometimes I suspect, that even thee . . .
A comedy is currently being played in Washington by men
who normally don't deal in comical matters. Before the final
curtain falls it promises to involve deeply such strange bedfellows
as the H o u s e Un-American Activities Committee
(HUAC), the American Civil .

A New Classification System
The new rules eliminating freshmen
parking next fall make it absolutely
essential that a new system of student
classification be found.
Under the present system, if a student
falls more than 10 hours behind in
any classification, he cannot move up
to the next level no matter how much
other work he completes.
In other words, a student within a
quarter or two of graduation who has,
say, 15 hours of freshman courses left
over is still classified as a freshman
until he completes at least 5 of those
hours.
We have long felt this system to be
ridiculous anyway. The very real possibility
exists that a student may graduate
as a sophomore, or even a freshman,
simply because he couldn't schedule
certain courses or because lie chose to
wait on certain courses.
The student changing schools is the
real loser under this system. He may
have almost enough credits to complete
his upper level work in the new curriculum,
yet have many hours of freshman
and sophomore courses left over.
He is especially handicapped if several
of these courses must come in series,
such as language courses. Some persons
in this predicament may actually
drop from senior to freshman classification.
A revamp of the classification system
is needed not for traffic regulations
alone. A system based on the number
of quarters in residence or 'the total
number of hours completed would be
more fair, and more realistic.
The Long Hot Winter
It looks as though Alabama is in for
a "long hot winter" of Negro voter
registration drives. Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., with the eager help of Dallas
County Sheriff Jim Clark and others,
is making sure things won't die down
for a while to come, .\
Denying a man the right to vote on
the" basis of color is wrong, and no one
familiar with the situation can truthfully
deny that parts of Alabama have
been among the chief offenders.
However, as columnist Harry Hooper,
a native Dallas Countian, has observed,
"Selma is now cognizant of the fact that
law is to be upheld . . . "
Selma was growing up even before
the present drive started. She, and
Alabama, are now paying mostly for
past sins.
Registration in Alabama is still painfully
slow, due mainly to a cumbersome
voter registration test. This should be
corrected by the state before it is allowed
to go to court.
Serious problems may result from
the inevitable mass registration of
qualified Negroes, especially in those
counties with a high percentage of black
citizens.
These counties must now pay the
price of a lack of foresight and a lack
of preparation. We may only hope
that local Negro leadership will prove
mature and use a little foresight of
their own.
Meanwhile, hotheads and hot words
on both sides will fan the flames of
contention, and Alabama, and the nation,
will suffer.
No Serious I n j u r i e s . . . So Far
One can almost tell when February
arrives by the increased volume of
tales about fraternity initiations.
Most of the tales are told by the
proud initiates themselves, of how many
"licks" they took, of how they managed
to run two miles on a freezing night
while soaking wet, of how many statues
they managed to paint, and of other
exploits designed to prove their worthiness
for brotherhood.
Other tales are more properly called
rumors . . . of accidents and injuries.
These tales are usually pretty well
hushed up, but they do get out, even
if nothing official is said about them.
The danger of injury is the main fault
of the kind of high schoolish initiations
some fraternities insist upon as essential
to tradition and brotherhood.
Initiations seem to be getting milder
year by year, however. We have heard
of no serious injuries so far this year,
only a few cuts and bruises. /
Not all fraternities have dangerous
informal initiations, of course. Some-have
no informal initiation at all, some
actually do something constructive, and
some initiations may be classified as
simple hazing. We will even go so far
as to say that a certain amount of
nonsense falls into the realm of harmless
fun.
No one cares to dictate to the Auburn
fraternity system, although we do feel
the university administration should insist
on at least humane treatment of
pledges. Even animals have the SPCA.
The kind of initiation the individual
fraternity uses is its own business. It
is its own business that is, until someone
is hurt.
It then becomes the business of the
police, the national fraternity, the administration
. . . and The Auburn
Plainsman.
Immorality, By Auburn Standards
Emory University girls are immoral,
at least by Auburn standards.
We were "shocked" last weekend
in Atlanta to find Emory co-eds brazenly
visiting apartments without university
permission. They don't need permission,
since Emory has no apartment
rule. i
That isn't all. Freshmen can stay out
till 10:30 p.m. on week days and 12:30
a.m. on weekends. Sophomores and
juniors have increasingly liberal permission,
and seniors can stay out three
nights a week till 3:30 a.m.
The obvious question is, are Emory
girls more mature than Auburn girls
. . . or is their administration.
Liberties Union, the Ku Klux
Klan, the John Birch Society,
the American Nazi Party and
Atlanta Congressman Charles
Weltner.
The main actors in this comedy
are the HUAC and Weltner.
k
The first act started when
Wejtner wrangled a place on
this controversial committee,
much to everyone's surprise
. . . surprise because Weltner
is. a member, of the so-called
liberal school of thought and
HUAC has traditionally harbored
the most extreme of the
so-called conservative school.
The HUAC controversy has
been-raging for years. Proponents
say it, serves a vital purr-pose
by uncovering subversive
( C o m m u n i s t ) activity in
Aftierica. O p p o n e n t s call
HUAC nothing but a witch-hunting
party which smears
personalities without giving
them a chance to speak in
their own defense.
Opponents also question the
propriety of branding any act
or thought un-American (short
of an overt act of rebellion)
when the country itself is dedicated
to f r e e and open
thought.
So everyone wondered why
Weltner wanted a place on the
committee. They soon found
out.
The fun really started last
week when Rep. Weltner announced
it was about time
HUAC took a respite from
searching out Communists under
beds and turned its eyes
to the Ku Klux Klan. Such a
stir has not been caused in
months.
Two imperial wizards and a
grand dragon entered from extreme
stage right and began
screaming murder.
"The Klan is not un-American,"
cried Robert Shelton, imperial
wizard of the United
Klans of America. "It is pro-
American.-1 It; -is Hhe only organization
I know of created
within the shores of America
whose members all must be
native-born Americans a nd
practice Americanism."
Calvin Craig, Georgia grand
dragon under Shelton, blasted
away that "Weltner's only
concern here is getting the
Negro vote for when he runs
for Congress again."
Meanwhile, back in Congress,
other congressmen had
called for investigations of the
ultra-right Minutemen and the
racist American Nazi Party.
This puts HUAC in the r a ther
embarrassing position of
investigating some of its best
friends and allies. By now,
Rep. Weltner, the originator of
the script, must certainly be
grinning in the wings.
But all laughter is not without
its deeper meanings. A
• deeper note is added to our
comedy by Charles Morgan,
Jr., southeastern regional director
of the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU).
"The avowed purpose of the
proposed investigation of the
Various Klan groups—exposure
for'exposure's sake—is improper,"
Morgan asserted. "Although
some liberals may be
pleased with the proposal to
investigate the far right, they
are rarely pleased when the
same committee investigates
the liberals."
The ACLU has traditionally
held that HUAC is an unconstitutional
body. It published
a booklet last December condemning
the committee and
calling for its abolition.
"By its very nature the term
'un-American is indefinable,"
Morgan said.
"To the Ku Klux Klan, Martin
Luther King, Jr. is 'un-
American.' To Negroes the Ku
Klux Klan is 'un-American.'
To the John Birch Society,
moderate Republicans are 'un-
American.' To liberal Democrats,
the John Birch Society
is 'un-American.' . . . And to
still others, the House Un-
American Activities Commit-
^ttee itself is 'un-American.'"

Ivory Towers
Is Student Government
The Master Or Servant?
By George McMillan Jr.
"Auburn's student leaders should climb
down from their ivory. towers."
"They get elected to help themselves, not the student body."
"They promise us everything, but where are the results?"
These remarks are typical of those who claim that Auburn's
student government isn't serving a useful purpose.
Too often the critics are right.
Education's Battle . . .
Birth Control Answer
To Population Problem
By Diane Snoddy
Population is a world problem because of
seemingly insurmountable limitations on space
and food. These limitations may pose a threat to the survival
of mankind, per se since without doubt the stronger will, if
faced with starvation, withhold food from the weaker; the
weak will subsequently die, thereby theoreticaUy relieving
population pressures. Theoretically
only, however. In reality
(as instances in China, India
and other underdeveloped countries
have shown) any temporary
gap in the food-to-people
ratio brought about by
death is more than filled imr
mediately as better living
standards bring a lower death
rate. The end result of death
in overpopulated countries
then, is not a decrease in population.
It is merely an increase
in proprotion of older people in
the total population.
The answer to. over population
is not death, even on a
large scale such as war, plagues,
etc. In all cases this only serves
to produce a change in the
composition of the population.
However, long-run changes in
population size are being approached
or have been brought
about in some countries
(France, Sweden, Ireland and
the United State) through contraception
and other restrictive
practices. Control of the birth
rate is succeeding whereas increasing
the death rate has
failed.
Nevertheless, it must be r e membered
that none of these
successful countries were, at
the outset, underdeveloped. All
of them have relatively educated
peoples, and all have
succussfully employed efficient
means of food production.
The problem is logically of a
different and more complex
nature in less advanced countries
of the world. The ultimate
solution, birth control, is. apparent,
but the course of action
in dealing wfth underdeveloped,
overpopulated countries is cluttered
with hindrances. Acceptance
of restrictive practices has
as it's requisite educating the
people as to why and how they
should limit reproduction. Education,
however, is a near impossibility
in improverished
areas since to be educated the
people must take leave from
their productive labors, thereby
reducing their already minimum
output.
Therefore, Just as restrictive
practices must be proceeded by
education, education must be
preceded by an increased standard
of living. In turn, to increase
the per capita standard
of living requires further education
in terms of new techniques
of production. Experience
along this line (in foreign aid
endeavors) assures us that this
type of education is restrained
not only by poverty, but also
by established social systems.
The restrictions imposed upon
man by his social institutions
provide perhaps the most hindering
and most rigid obstacles
to successful birth control efforts,
in industrialized as well
as in underdeveloped countries.
A prime example of this is the
fact that the Roman Catholic
Church continues to balk on
the issue of contraception in
spite of the overall poverty of
world Catholics. Hopefully,
steps are being taken to change
the Church's policy, but any
change in social thought is
painfully slow.
Although man has knowledge
which would enabe him to control
his numbers and although
he has great need for this
knowledge, there is persistent
difficulty in gaining its widespread
acceptance and instrumentation.
Education must fight
a continuous battle with nature,
proverty and social
fetishes in order to win this
one.
Sometimes, however, their
criticism arises from lack of
understanding of persons holding
student governement offices
and the services they afford.
True, some aloof student
political leaders think the purpose
of their offices is to help
them climb a little higher in
the wonderland of student
honors. But they are more than
offset by other student leaders
working to merit the position
they hold.
The critics of student government
should realize that whether
they like it or not they are
at least indirectly a part Of
student government as members
of the student body.
Thus the most caustic critic
has a responsibility for excellence
in student government as
does the lazy senator whom he
criticizes. Each student has a
stake in student government,
yet only 30, per cent of the
students vote in fall elections.
When students don't vote, the
result will be reflected in the
quality of the student government.
This year as a junior senator
I have been able to grasp the
potential good that the student
government can do for the student
body when properly guided
and directed. For instance,
members of the present Senate
have initiated several projects
which have already benefitted
the student body or that will
do so in the near future.
Some of these are the plans
for the Sports Arena, a student-teacher
evaluation program, the
founding of several new clubs
in various curricula to afford
students a chance to learn more'
about their respective fields of
study, an improved football
ticket selling method to be
initiated next fall, the suggestion
boxes, the obtaining of
dean's excuses for students able
to vote in the fall national elections,
improved election laws to
provide for a more constructive
campaign period this spring and
the proposed plans for shuttle
buses to help eliminate the'on-campus
traffic problem.
Also, senators have either
directed or helped with the
summer orientation and pre-college
counseling program for
all freshmen, the Auburn Conference
on Intern;
fairs, the establishment"' o r w
freshman council system, and
the committee which attracted
Boy's Stat© to Auburn.
The Senate is working with
the administration to obtain
more practical disciplinary
rules, more phones in the girls'
dormitories, and at least one
"dead day" each quarter.;
This is a sample .of what student
government has. done. It
wants to do more. It needs your
help if it is ever to reach its
true potential or maximum efficiency.
If you don't believe
there's a place for you, volunteer.
Student government is far
from perfect. But by working
together, the student body can
correct many of the defects.
Deadlines, Death
And Destiny,
Spell Out Drama
By George Gardner
How do you tell a worried
mother that unless her son dies
soon you will miss your deadline?
He had just been crushed
and broken as his convertible
slammed head-on into a concrete
bridge abutment. He lay
behind t he
s w i n g i n g
doors on a
stretche r —
bloody a n d
unconscious.
His mother
sat on the
e d g e of an
u n c omfort-able
chair in
t h e waiting
room of the
hospital emergency room in
Columbus. She squeezed one
of her hands in the other as
tears streamed down her middle-
aged face.
"Are you with the police?",
she asked.
"Sort of," I lied. How
.could I explain" that as police
reporter 'for a metropolitan
newspaper I cover only traffic
accidents that involve fatalities?
If her son and his critically-injured
companion died, it
would be "page one copy." If.
they both somehow survived
the grinding crash it would be
just another wreck—buried on
page 36 or someplace.

Maybe Winter In Harlem
Not So Bleak This Year
By Harry Hooper
The most fascinating thing in New York,
to a country boy, is to ride under the streets
of the great city on the subway. Like a high speed mole one
can ride for miles popping up at intevals at places every visitor
to New York feels he must see.
It is a rather strange experience to surface on Broadway and
see the lights of the theaters work ot lire escapes sit the
that you read of even in Alabama.
It is equally exciting to
submerge and come up again
at the Staten Island Ferry when
it is cold and rainy and to ride
across the harbor and see the
many-colored lights of Manhattans
through the mist.
And down again you go
rumbling under the streets to
Greenwich Village where you
can stop in at the Cafe Wha
and drink some of the worst
coffee in the world and hear
Superman Brady or the Bitter
and the Sweet where Pete
Seeger made some of his greatest
records.
It's where you surface in
Harlem that the glamor and
excitement of New York—the
world of O'Henry and Sty-vesant
and nine million more
—turns sour. Peter Blake must
have been thinking of Harlem
when he wrote "God's own
Junkyard."
Harlem stretches for blocks
and blocks and the walls of its
buildings are as dusky as the
inhabitants. Under the lattice
unemployed, the drunk, the
drug addict, and the bum. The
Winter in Harlem is cold and
miserable in inadequately heated
buildings. When the rain
moves in from the ocean water
is likely to seep through the
old buildings until torrents
rush through cracked plaster.
Too many people are crowded
together in the flats as they
share their meager quarters
with the wet and the cold, the
addict and drunk, and the rats
and the filth.
So it is winter in Harlem
now with the rain and wind
and cold. This is a different
• winter in one way only. On
one of the blocks the Office of
Economic Opportunity in conjunction
with several foundations
and the FHHA has taken
over a vacated building.
The building is being cleaned
from top to bottom, locks are
being put on the doors to keep
out the bums, and a nursery is
being established to care for
the young children while their
mothers work, and the street
m e r r f o TW n w d*MH..-' ...
By now it was east of midnight
and my deadline was a p proaching,
with each weak
breath the youth breathed.
Thousands of Sunday morning
newspaper readers were
unknowingly counting on me
to complete my "death watch!"
Why are people so eager to
read of other's misfortunes?
Why was a young man
perched on a window ledge in
New York recently urged to
"jump, jump" by the chanting
crowd below?
• Why? Why?
Maybe it's because words on
paper are eold and far away
and impersonal. "After all," we
think, "things like that don't
happen to us.w
On holiday weekend we keep
count of traffic fatalities like
football scores. We even predict
how many persons will be
slaughtered, just as sports-writers
predict the outcome of
the game before the kickoff.
But I know better-rior I
have shared two hours of terror
with a desperate mother.
Desperate- because she can do
nothing material about the future
of her son as the blood
oozes from his wounds.
Some of you reading these
cold, meaningless words will
someday experience what I
Saw Saturday night in Columbus,
Ga.
I hope only you experience
it as a reporter, like I did. And
perhaps you, too, will gain
from the experience and think
before you jam your foot on
the accelerator. But some of
you will be the tearful mother
or the dying son.
For not all of us are fortunate
enough to be reporters or
readers—some of us are destined
to be only statistics.

young people can ]play safely.
The project is small but if
successful will be greatly expanded.
In terms Of money it
is also small, but returns from
the investment will be large in
terms of reduced crime rates
and happier people.
The project does not impess
the people of Harlem. They Will
believe it when they see it completed,
because for too long
they have lived a second class
existence. And ' it is winter
in Harlem and it is easier for
them to forget it all as they go
under the ground to the warmth
of the subway.
The Faculty Speaks,..'. .
Poet's Worth Is Writing,
Not His Convictions Alone
By Dr. Charles S. Rose
What is the role of the poet today? This
is the sort of question asked at literary
forums.
It's a a chiche, like "What is the role of the United States
in Viet Nam?" Nobody is entirely sure.
Ezra Pound wrote a poem once, around 1920, about his
role as a poet. Here are a few
lines:
. . seeing he had been born
in a half-savage country, out
of date;
Bent resolutely on wringing
lilies from the acorn."
The half savage country that
Pound despises is America. But
he is really talking about Western
civilization, which he calls
"an old bitch gone in the teeth."
He was an angry young man at
the time, and since then he had
remained angry and continued
to Write angry poems.
During World War II, however,
he did something else. He
tried to defend the United
State Constitution, which he admired,
by broadcasting anti-
American and anti-Semitic
views over the Italian radio.
It may not have occurred to
him that he could be tried for
treason, for he believed that he
was speaking as an American
citizen, not as a Fascist propagandist.
Even so, he urged
America to get out of the war,
and endorsed Hitler's extermination
of the Jews.
He was never tried for treason.
After the war, he was committed
to a mental hospital by
the United States government.
Upon his release a few years
ago, he announced that he was
returning to Italy because
everyone in America was crazy.
At about the same time he won
the Bollington prize for distinguished
poetry. The Bollington
Foundation, which sponsored
the prize, is subsidized by
government funds.
So what is the role of the poet
(novelist, playwright, any creative
writer)? Should he, like
J. D. Salinger, mind his own
business and let public affairs
take care of themselves?
Or like Norman Mailer should
he tackle every problem in
sight? Or, if he is a Southerner
with moral and social convictions,
should he join a citizens
council, or as the case may be,
CORE?
Whatever he does, he should
not let his convictions debase
his poetry. If, for instance, he
is a Negro, he should not write
as a Negro Novelist, but as a
novelist and a Negro.
James Baldwin, who in his
last novel and in his first play
wrote about a South he's never
lived in, is more frequently
than not a Negro Novelist.
On the other hand, Ralph
Ellison is, in Invisible Man, a
Negro and a novelist, searching
for. his identity in a South and
North he has lived and suffered
in both as a Negro and as a
man. Unlike Baldwin, Ellison
is neither sentimental nor tendentious,
for he knows what all
writers know—that his writing
is the final measure of his
worth.
The same distinction holds
for Pound. When he broadcasted
for Mussolini, he was acting as
a man. In all justice to us, and
•to himself for that matter, the
government should have prosecuted
him for treason.
But when he wrote these
lines .which do not propose to
change society but attempt to
show men what they're like, or
what Pound thought they were
like at the moment, he was
writing as a poet:
0 generation of the throughly
smug and throughly uncomfortable,
1 have seen fishermen picnicking
in the sun,
I have seen them with untidy
families,
I have seen their smiles full
of teeth and heard ungainly
laughter.
And I am happier than you
are,
Aand they were happier than
I am;
And the fish swim in the lake
and do not even own clothing.
There is a lot of anger here.
But there is also humility.
The High Cost Of Failure
(Continued from page 1)
do a little studying.
"I have work to do. If you
want to talk about failure rates
why don't you go talk to the
dean of the chemistry department,"
he conlcuded, hanging
up.
MORE ENLIGHTENING
The head of the chemistry
department, Dr. C. L. Sanders,
was more enljghening.
He cited a "tendency to bring
upper levels of chemistry down
to the freshman level . . . inadequate
high school preparation
. . . lack of motivation . . .
Jthe fact that chemistry is the
first science course freshmen
take" as reasons for the high
failure rates.
He attributed a tendency for
students to fail to take 104
chemistry immediately after the
completion of 103 as the reason
for high failure rates in the
104 course.
"I think the failure is not
due to a lack of ability, but
primarily to a lack of performance,"
commented Dr. Joe G.
Peterson, associate chemistry
professor.
EXCELLENT PROFESSORS
Dr. Saunders added that only
three of Auburn's chemistry
classroom professors do not
have Ph. D's. He asserted that
the department's professors are
of a high calibre.
Asked why ability indicated
by ACT grades was not consistent
with the performance of
chemistry classes, Dr. Saunders
said, "good entrance grades indicate
ability, not that the student
will work. The student
must keep up day by day . . ."
Skindiving Club Hears
Talk On Navigation
Dr. Eldon Cairns, professor
in Botany and a former bomber
pilot, was the speaker at a
recent meeting of the Auburn
Skindiving Club. He discussed
the problems of underwater
navigation, comparing them to
surface navigation problems.
The Skindiving Club, nicknamed
the Tiger Sharks, meets
every other Tuesday. Next
meeting is scheduled for Feb.
16 in the Auburn Union.
Present project of the club
is the construction of an air
compressor to supply air for
its tanks.
Dr. Saunders told the Plainsman
that steps are being taken
to reduce the failure rates without
sacrificing the high standards
of the department.'
(The Auburn Plainsman will
continue this series next week
by outlining steps being taken
by the Chemistry department
to aid the vast group of failing
freshman Chemistry students.)
Scurfing .
(Continued from page 1)
such as those on roller skates,
and the rider has no control
over the direction of his vehicle.
And there is the imminent
danger of the board's slipping
out from under its rider, causing
him to fall on his back.
BOARDS ON MARKET
The sidewalk surfboard is on
the market selling at prices
ranging from $5 to $15. These
scurfboards usually have caster-
type wheels and are somewhat
safer than the home-made
ones with no mechanical safety.
Another danger arises from
the places chosen to "scurf." A
sidewalk is the safest place,
but in smaller towns with few
sidewalks, the driveways frequently
find dare-devils scooting
down their inclines and out
into the streets. It isn't easy
for an oncoming car to avoid
hitting a rider on a scurfboard
who has just appeared out of
nowhere.
AGE INCREASE DANGER
The older the person is the
more likely he is to get hurt,
said the doctor. A 10 or 11
year-old child is more agile
and has a better sense of balance
than an adult does.
However, a child's vitality
does not make him immune to
skateboard accidents. One
small south Alabama town had
six children in the hospital in
one week as a result of spills
while sidewalk surfing.
POPULARITY INCREASING
The craze is increasing in
popularity all over the country,
and with it, the accident rate
is increasing.
"While some towns are debating
whether or not to outlaw
the sport," said the doctor,
"the only thing we can do about
it now is to try to encourage
people to find some other way
of entertaining themselves."
Letters To The Editor
Intramural Officiating
Deserves Player Respect
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to thank Mr.
Rutberg for his much overdue
column on intramurals and especially
one sentence—"No
amount of money can compensate
for the abuse which some
student officials brave while
making decisions based on
their judgment in the heat of
battle."
Being an official for intramurals
I certainly appreciate
this statement and only wish
some fraternities would take
notice.
There are two things that
hinder our officiating; that being
no cooperation from the
opposing team and lack of respect
for the official. Granted
some of us don't deserve respect
but at least we are trying
to do a job from which they
seem to shy away.
I also play for the Tau Kappa
Epsilon fraternity and from
a player's standpoint there is
no reason on this side of heaven
why a player should call
an official a son of a or
other terms.
Officiating improves with
the caliber of ball playing, in
most cases. So, when a player
criticizes an official, he's doing
a discredit to himself, his fraternity,
and our intramural program.
It seems the big difference
between a good call and a bad
call now is which side of the
court you're sitting on.
Sure we miss calls—we have
two eyes, can't see through
masses of players, and are subject
to lapses in mind activity,
as are players, coaches, a nd
humans.
"A person who has the right
to criticize, should have the
heart to help." How about it
fellas?

Sidewalk Surfing Is Not
Most Dangerous Sport
Editor, The Plainsman:
After reading your editorial
on "scurfing" (I wince every
time I hear that; the correct
terms are "skateboarding" or
"sidewalk surfing") in which
you .thoroughly denounce the
sport, I wondered . why you
didn't expand the range of
dangerous sports to condemn.
After all, mountain climbing,,
sky-diving, skiing, boxing,
motorcycle racing, football,
and many other sports can result
in "serious head injuries."
For that matter, checkers can
cause a severe headache.
I see no call in denouncing a
sport simply because it is dangerous.
(Actually skateboarding
is not dangerous unless one
has to conquer the steepest
hill). After all, isn't life much
more interesting when you risk
it once in awhile? Can you
imagine what would happen if
everything that was detrimental
to our health, education, or
welfare was outlawed? We'd
wind up a bunch of softheaded
jelly beans, with a big
yellow streak, afraid of our
own shadows. Then how would
we get to the moon and stars?
Now that I've had my say,
I'd like to ask for a favor. How
about using the vast power of
the Plainsman (chuckle) to
get the hill behind Commons
repaved with smooth asphalt?
I broke a wheel off my "suicide
board" at about 45 mph.
on that rough pavement and
skinned my hands up a bit. Or
else, since- that hill is so dangerous,
how about outlawing
it?

'Criticism' Of Governor
Stirs Reader's Wrath
Editor, The Plainsman:
To Jerry Brown:
If it would not be asking too
much of you,: I personally (and
I am sure most of the Auburn

you are attending Auburn University?
Why did you not
choose Harvard since we at AU
are the " . . . conservative
Auburn-Dartmouth type college
student who doesn't know
what effect the stockmarket is
having on America's collective
subconscious, as does the Harvard
type . . . " You should
be at Harvard for a second
reason—" . . . they even carried
'God is Love' posters . . . "
there.
Can it be that we do not
love God since we support our
g r e a t governor — Governor
George C. Wallace—who is
standing up for our rights as
individuals: o u r "precious"
right to own private property,
our liberty, and our freedom.
But of course you don't believe
in " . . . all that rot . . . "—
how communistic can you get!
Governor Wallace is nothing
less than a politician, this I
agree with. He is a great politician.
Even you admitted this
by comparing him to Socrates.
But Socrates did not have a
packed bag of political tricks,
neither does Governor Wallace.
He speaks out out for what he
believes, what we believe, and
what " . . . the brawny Polish
steel worker . . . " believes—
not what you believe.
He is a mighty "Paul Revere"
spreading the truth of
the much feared governmental
control of our rights and freedoms
and he is not just having
" . . . a cock-a-doodle-do or
two . . . "
My Dear Mr. Brown, I suggest
that you open your eyes
and look about you at some
truths that can not be overlooked—
not even by you! And
before you write another article
such as the one of Feb. 3,
1965, that you consider the
freedoms that you now have.

Lee Miller, 2 SL
(Reader Miller obviously
missed the point of Mr.
Brown's column. Mr. Brown's
intention was to praise Governor
Wallace using the vehicle
of sarcasm. The "Thank
God" at the end of the column,
among other things, may be
detected with a minimum
amount of effort on the part
of the reader—Ed.)
Brown Column Praised
By Wallace Supporter
Editor, The Plainsman:
THREE CHEERS!!!! for
Jerry Brown's editorial on
Governor Wallace. It is refreshing
to read an article that
praises our governor instead of
calling him a sly, slippery politician
who has no higher goals
than to persecute some "pore
nigger." Mr. Brown's use of
sarcasm brought out many of
the reasons why Governor
Wallace is so well loved here
in the South and respected all
over these United States.
Thank God! Mr. Editor for
Governor Wallace and for
those high ideals that he has
so courageously defended in
the face of such bitter opposition
by the new "enlightened'^?)
generation that is in
power today.

Umbach's Wrestlers Just Keep Winning And Winning And Winning...
By BOB SNELLGBOVE
Who says "you can't win ' em a l l ? " Coach Arnold
Umbach and his Auburn wrestlers have been disproving
this sports maxim for two decades in the
Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association
tournaments.
Umbach's athletes have won all 18 t e am championships
since the tournament began in 1947 under the
banner of the Southeastern Amateur Athletic Union. They
also have claimed more than half of the individual titles
winning 94 of 178.
Coach Umbach has developed one four-time champion
RAY DOWNEY

'Best Sports Coverage In The SEC
DAN McNAIR RATES HIGH
Umbach calls McNair 'One Of The Greatest'
(in the days when freshmen were alowed to compete on
varsity teams), 10 three-time winners, and 15 two-time
champs in SEIWA individual events.
His present team was wearing diapers when the first
Auburn wrestler was crowned Southeastern champion under
Umbach. The wrestler was Harold Penley, a terror in the
115' pound class.
Best Known Wrestler . . .
Auburn's best known westler nationally was Heavyweight
Dan McNair, who strong-armed his way to the finals of
the U.S. Olympic trials in 1952. Coach Umbach recalls
that McNair only lost at that point because his opponent,
Henry Whittenburg, a New York policeman who had been
NCAA champ nine years in a row, "was awarded the split
decision victory because of his greater experience."
What made McNair great? Well Coach Umbach put it
this way: "McNair had the advantage of not playing football
and was able to devote his full-time to becoming a perfectionist.
He was quick and could move around like a
lightweight besides being strong, and he was tough."
Present Auburn physical education instructor and frosh
wrestling coach Sonny Dragoin ranks as one of Coach
Umbach's all-time favorites. Dragoin never saw a match
before coming to college, and did not tryout for the team
until his sophomore year." However, Dragoin "picked it
(See page 8, column 7)
SONNY DRAGOIN
GERALD RUTBERG . . .
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY :..
When Larry Smith, Ail-American prep back from Tampa,
Fla., notified Auburn officials last week that the Loveliest
Village was his second choice and that he would enroll at the
University of Florida next fall, the 6-3 195-pound gridder
ended one of the most torrid recruiting battles in recent years.
Smith's credentials would fill a book, however suffice it to
say that he had scholarship offers from nearly 50 institutions
of the highest grid caliber. Smith, a top student, scored 47
touchdowns (29 his senior year) in three years, played outstanding
defense, and was awarded what many consider the
highest honor by numerous .college scouts who called him
"another Frederickson in the making."
How Auburn came so close to nabbing Larry is a good
example of what a friendly school attitude can do for you.
Smith's dad is a University of Florida graduate and was affiliated
with the ATO's while at Gainesville. Mr. Smith was
later stationed at Fort Benning and his leisure hours were
spent in Auburn at the ATO house where he came to adopt
Auburn as his second alma mater. We doubt that the elder
Smith ever dreamed that his son would be such a notorious
1965 freshman, but it is known that Mr. Smith always hoped
that his offspring might consider playing in the Loveliest, Village.
Larry carefully considered his decision and cast his lot
with Ray Graves' Gators. Thus he becomes only another thorn
in Auburn's side next fall and just one of the few that "got
away."
Track Team In Montgomery . . .
Coach Mel Rosen has been grooming a crack Auburn track
team between winter quarter's lingering showers and this
Saturday in Montgomery the squad should give heavily favored
Tennessee a genuine battle. The meet is the SEC's annual indoor
affair and is being held in conjunction with high schools,
junior highs, independent colleges, and other track outfits participating
in this colossal meet. The meet is being staged in
Garrett Coliseum (the same place where Auburn plays Alabama
in basketball) and it should be more than worth your while
to attend. It's the nearest locality you'll have to see all
of the South's1 best track and field stars display their talents.
Spring Football Practice . . .
"A" Day will be held this year on Saturday, May 15. This
date is much later than the 1964 date, as you campus veterans
may remember' the poor weather conditions which dogged last
year's "winter" spring practice. Tiger coaches have promised
their charges a rib-rocking 20 days of practice as the search
for entirely new starting offensive and defensive backfields
begins in earnest. Auburn's line will be as deep as anyone's
forward wall in the South for '65, but gaping holes need to
be filled in the backfields. The rebuilding task will take some
outstanding coaching jobs and Tiger staff members appear eager
to mould a typically strong Auburn eleven.
Just in case you are interested, many pre-pre-season prog-nosticators
are picking Kentucky, LSU, and Florida for high
honors. Kentucky-however, must beat Auburn in Auburn and
Florida has never won a game in Cliff Hare Stadium.
Tigers Return Home;
Encounter More Tigers
By ROBERT SMITH
"We just haven't been t r e a t e d right in A u b u r n ' s backy
a r d , " stated Coach J a y McCreary of the LSU Bengal
Tigers as he anticipated Saturday night's clash with
Auburn in the Sports Arena.
"I think Auburn has a real good team. They're big
and strong with a lot of depth,
and as I said, it's hard to win
on their home court," he added.
Last year, working with a
squad that counted only four
lettermen, Coach McCreary directed
his inexperienced crew
to a fourth place finish in the
SEC, even though three games
with top contenders were lost
in the final eight seconds.
NO CLOSE LOSSES
LSU doesn't claim any close
losses this season in their 4-5
conference record. McCreary
attributes LSU's sound losses
to the large number of sophomores
on the squad, which is
10. "The younger boys have
their ups and downs. When we
got beat, we got beat. When
we've won, it's been close," he
admitted.
LSU whipped Auburn 86-66
last season as two returning
lettermen, Dick Maile and Bill
Wilson teamed up to score 45
of LSU's points.
MAILE TOP TIGER
Dick Maile has led the Tiger's
in both rebounding and
scoring for two consecutive
seasons. As LSU's most valuable
player last year, this 6'5"
forward ranked third in conference
scoring with a 20.7
average.
Maile is now second in the
conference in rebounding and
third in scoring. He played a
major role in defeating Alabama
last Saturday by scoring
24 points.
The combined scoring of
LSU's sophomore g u a r d s,
Kenny Drost (6'1") and Brad
Brian (5'11"), will be a key
factor Saturday according to
Coach McCreary. "If we can
get our guards to score 18 or
20, I feel we'll be in good
shape," he stated.
TLILANE ON MONDAY
Monday at 7:30 p.m., Auburn
hosts the Green Wave of
Tulane, who are 2-16 overall
and 1-8 in the SEC.
Coach Ralph Pederson, va
former T u l a n e basketball
great, is1 in his, first season p i
coaching the Greenies. He has
taken over a team which
floundered to a 1-22 finish last
year, the worst in the school's
history.
Al Andrews, a 6'1" sophomore
guard, holds the number
two spot in SEC scoring with
an average of 19.6 points per
game. Last year he led the
frosh in scoring with a 2L4
average.

stepped up to the 157 pound
Weight class to meet the
SEIWA 157 pound champion
Parker.
"This is a key match for
Starnes," says Coach Swede
Umbach," if he wins, he'll be
in good position for the tourney.
He just beat Jim Wheeler
of Georgia, who beat him in
the Chattanooga Meet. If he
wins, he will also be seeded
first for the SEIWA matches."
Starnes and Parker will
merely lead a contingent of
SEIWA champions in the meet.

Sal Zarcone (1963 123-pound
class), and John McAfee (1963
and 1964 heavyweight crown-bearer),
plus two time Champion
Paul Tessman (19'63 and
1964 167-pound class) of the
University of the South at Sewanee.
EITHER WAY
These outstanding grapplers
will be featured in the dual
meet, which Coach Umbach
has termed "a real tough
match that can go either way."
"The University of the South
defeated Georgia Tech earlier
in the season, then Tech defeated
Auburn. However Auburn
beat Chattanooga who
had beaten Tech. So Friday's
match is quite even."

Frosh Quintet
Under Chapman
Still Improving
By GENE PHILLIPS
The Auburn freshman basketball
team is six games away
from the completion of its first
season under the direction of
Coach Larry Chapman. Coach
Chapman is a new addition to
the Auburn coaching staff, and
according to varsity coach Bill
X,ynn, has done a fine job with
his team.
This is the first year that
Chapman has been directing
basketball from the bench. He
was a successful guard under
Joel Eaves and later under
Coach Lynn. Chapman took
the job of freshman coach after
graduation from Auburn in
March of 1964.
HARDER THAN PLAYING
When Chapman was asked
how he liked coaching, he replied,-
"Coaching is much harder
than playing. I thought I
knew a lot about basketball
before, but now I learn something
new every day."
As of now, the freshmen
have dropped four out of 14
games. The first game of the
season was in Atlanta where
the Tigers edged past Georgia
Tech by two points. Since
then, the Plainsmen have lost
to Alabama, Vanderbilt, Elor-jda
State, and Walker College.
TOPS AS TEAM ,
Coach Chapman would not
name any outstanding players
on his team. He said that they
have all done such a good job,
that it would be hard to single
out any one player as being
outstanding.
There are several players
who,have proved their worth
in statistics. In the scoring de-
«j$fciAment, Randall Walker has
led'With an average of 18J
points per game. Alex Howell
is second with an average of
just under 18 points.
Coach Chapman .mentioned
Harold Carden as being one of
his most talented rebounders.
He also said that the team
should be strengthened by Bob
Miller who has been benched
due to a broken foot.

Cinder Season Opens
With Big Indoor Meet
By RON MUSSIG
; Saturday afternoon the Tiger cindermen will compete
in the Indoor SEC Track Meet in Montgomery's Garrett
Coliseum starting at 2 p.m.
The meet itself starts on Friday. There will be six
individual meets going on at the same time. There will
be junior high school, high
school, College freshmen, SEC
freshmen, Independent College,
and SEC divisions.
In the SEC portion of the
huge event, the Tigers will enter
a full squad in their try for
the title, won last year by Tennessee.
TENNESSEE FAVORED
When asked who was the
favorite in the meet, track
coach Mel Rosen replied, "It
would have to be Tennessee,
because they won it last year
and they didn't lose any of
their people. They even say
that some of last year's winners
won't run this year because
better boys have developed."
WEATHER HAMPERS
The cindermen have been
hampered in their workouts by
the cold weather, but Coach
Rosen said that his squad has
": . . . come along real well
despite the weather and the
boys will be ready for the
run." He said that the sprinters
and jumpers have been
hampered most by the weather
and that the distance men were
in very good condition.
Among the Auburn performers
who have performed on
the 176 yard indoor track previously
and are expected to
finish well again this year are
Bill McCormick, Tom Mitchell,
Tom Christopher, Gator Williams,
Charles Smith, George
Cobb, and Bill Meadows.
TIGER STARS
Christopher was the winner
in the '64 broad jump and 60
yard dash. Mitchell placed second
in the broad jump a nd
Christopher was second in the
pole vault. Williams holds the
record for the frosh two mile
and should do well.
George Cobb was fourth in
last year's outdoor half and
should do well in the 1000 yard
run. Smith and Christopher
tied for second in the outdoor
high jump, and Meadows was
second in the frosh event, giving
the Tigers three good shots
at points in that event.
AUBURN ENTRIES
Auburn entries in the meet
which allows three men for the
individual events and a team
for each relay were decided in
a series of time trials held last
Friday and should be: 60 yd.
dash, McCormick, Wade Cur-ington,
and George Edmond-sen;
600 yd. run, Jackie Mour-ing,
Phil Sweargen, and Lloyd
Griffin; 1000 yd. run, Cobb and

Plainsmen Top Gators
After "Going To "Dogs'
Women's Intramurals
By JANE MAULDIN
"There is no other team in
the Conference we'd rather
beat more,'' commented Auburn
assistant basketball coach
Rudy Davalos in relief, following
Auburn's narrow 83-79 win
over the Florida Gators fast
Monday evening in Gainesville.
Bench strength carried the
Tigers over the Gators as Tee
yaircloth, Herbie Greene, and
ttandy Thomas entered the
game at crucial points to insure
an Auburn victory. Fair-cloth
sank three pressure-packed
one-and-one foul shot
attempts for six Auburn points
late in the contest when the
Gators had rallied from an 11
point deficit to within two
points of the Lynnmen.
Freddie Guy led Auburn
scorers with 20 points while
Lee DeFore had 15, and Jimmy
Montgomery had 13. Tee Fair-cloth
had 12.
Against Georgia, the Tigers
led most of the way, however
a late Bulldog flourish capped
by Jerry Waller's 10-foot
jump shot with only one second
remaining gave the 'Dogs
a 62-60 victory for their first
win in as many tries under
acting head coach Rex Frederick,
former Auburn standout
who played on a frosh team
which Tiger Coach Bill Lynn
once taught.
Joe Newton was high man
for Auburn against Georgia,
with 24 points. The win broke
a nine-game Bulldog losing
streak.
NEVER
Auburn and Alabama have
met 28 times, but never has a
contest been played in Cliff
Hare Stadium.
At the request of the Auburn
City Recreation Department,
a woman's All-Star Basketball
Team will play a demonstration

rules and wish to learn the
women's rules.
The Women's Recreational
Council voted to have a Volleyball

Tiger Gymnasts Face Tech Frosh
In Atlanta Match This Afternoon
8—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Feb. 10, 196J
Boasting a 1-1 record, the
Auburn Gymnastic Club under
the direction of Coach Ed
Bengston, journeys to Atlanta
this afternoon for a match
with the Georgia Tech freshman
gym team.
In a match held recently at
Statesboro, Ga., the 14-mem-ber
Tiger squad doubled Middle
Tennessee State College
rolling up a 78-39 score, while
bowing to Georgia Southern,
94-59.
Georgia Southern finished
second in last year's National
Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics gymnastic meet by
the scant margin of one-tenth
of a point.
SOPHS DOMINATE
Sophomores dominate the
present Auburn squad with
eight second-year men on the
team. There are two juniors,
four freshmen, and no seniors.
Standouts on the gym club
team have been Jack Harts-field,
recognized as the squad's
best all-around performer by
Coach Bengsten, Aubrey Bowles,
Tom Reeves, and Norris
Cruthirds.
TOP FROSH
Freshmen Steve Sheffield,
Ted Ruffner, and Bob Simon-son,
have also made progressive
strides toward becoming
outstanding gymnasts.
Following the Tech match,
the team will next see action
against Furman University in
Greenville, S.C. on Feb. 20.
"The door is open," according
to Coach Bengsten, to anyone
wishing to join the club.

19 COACHES

first fielded a football team,
they have had 19 coaches. The
coach with the longest reign
was Mike Donahue, here from
1904 to 1022.

(Wrestling) up faster than anybody I ever coached," claims
Umbach.
Downey Won Four . . .
Another Auburn wrestler, Ray Downey, is the only
SEIWA participant ever to win four championships. Downey
notced his place in the record book by capturing the
130 pound title in 1952 and 1953 while winning in the 137
pound category in 1954 and 1955.
A partially blind mat star, Leonard Ogburn, who captured
the 147 pound class title in 1958 and 1959, is rated by Coach
Umbach as "one of the greatest I ever coached." Ogburn,
who was unable to compete in his senior year because of a
detached retina, participated in the NAAU wrestling championships
in 1959 and took part in nine matches over a
four day period. He was bested in only two of his nine
bouts and took the measure of one national champ as
well as the NCAA's 1959 third place wrestler.
Now' coaching at the Virginia School of the Blind,
Ogburn's 1963-64 team at the Virginia school was undefeated.
• "Anybody that will work at it is a potential champion,"
states Umbach. "Quickness is one of the big qualities.
Strength is important if they know how to use it, and
agility, the ability to move in different directions, is a key
to becoming a champion," he says.
First Squad In '46
Coach Umbach organized the first Tiger wrestling squad
here in 1946. The first Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling
Tournament was held in 1947, and Coach Umbach's
teams have won every one since—for a total of 18 consecutive
titles.
Auburn's overall: dual meet record is now an incredible
155 wins, 17 losses, and five draws.
"Football players make good wrestlers," says the genial
Plainsman coach, and "and about 80 per cent of all NCAA
heavyweights are gridders. The late Ernie Davis of Syracuse
was an NCAA heavyweight champion while in college.
It's hard to find a good heavyweight who is not a football
player, although more work can be done with a mat performer
who does not double as a gridder, because of the
greater amount of available time."
John McAfee, a tackle on the Auburn eleven, has won
the SEIWA heavyweight championship for the past two
years, and will be looking for his third straight win
later this month at Maryville, where the championships are
being staged.
