National Grants Offered
To Auburn Student Body
By HARRY HOOPER
Applications for Woodrow Wil­son
Fellowships, Rhodes Scholar­ships,
and Fullbright Scholarships
are now being accepted.
Instructors in the various
schools and departments have
been asked lo consider outstand­ing
students for possible recipients
of the Woodrow Wilson graduate
Fellowship.
Last year there were three
scholarships awarded to Auburn
students plus four honorable men­tions.
Although it is important for an
applicant to have a high grade
average, that is not necessarily
the deciding factor. Other points
considered are character, poten­tial,
and desire. In the words of
the National Director of the Wood-dow
Wilson foundation, "every
year we elect candidates whose
grades for one reason or the other

'Loveliest Of The Plains'
BETTER RELATIONS are discussed by three student body
presidents at last Thursday's tri-school meeting at Auburn. Plans
were reviewed for continuing traditions at athletic contests be­tween
the universities. Shown from left to right are: John Hayes,

Plans Discussed For Football Contests
At Tri-School Better Relations Meeting
LOVELIEST VIRGINIA LAVALLET finds Moccasin hunting
by Plainsmen to be good sport. Virginia is a freshman elementary
education major from Birmingham. She resides in Dorm 6.
By CHARLES McNEES
Student leaders from Auburn,
Georgia, and Georgia Tech met at
Auburn last Thursday for the an­nual
tri-school Better Relations
Meeting.
Student council presidents, cam­pus
newspaper editors, IFC offi­cers,
and head cheerleaders of the
three schools met to discuss plans
for the three contests to be held
between their respective schools
this fall. A resolution was adopted
providing for an exchange of edi­torials
by the editors of each
school's paper during the week
preceding each game. No ratcaps
will be worn to the football games
between the three schools this
year.
After the meeting, guests from
Georgia and Georgia Tech toured
the Auburn Campu6 and were en­tertained
at, a reception at the
Lambda Chi Alpha house.
Auburn Student Government
President, Jim Vickrey, comment­ing
on the meeting said, "The his­tory
of this meeting has proved its
effectiveness in maintaining and
improving the good relations be-
Panhellenic Makes
Rush Appraisement
By JOAN WHATLEY
This fall's rush system for wo­men
was evaluated at the last
Panhellenic C o u n c i l meeting.
Plans for the coming school year
Were also discussed.
Evaluations were made in terms
of possible changes for next fall's
rush. Changing fhe hours of par­ties
was suggested so that more
time would be available to deter­mine
w h i c h rushees would be
coming to a particular function.
It was suggested that sororities
have their rush workshops in the
dormitories. T h e s e workshops
would take place several days
prior to the beginning of the for­mal
rushing period and would
last until rushees arrived. The
sororities would pay for the use
of the dormitories, and the chap­ter
advisors would chaperone. A
reason cited for such a change
was to avoid the first day's hectic
activity caused by all sorority
members moving into the dormi­tories
and simultaneously making,
rush arrangements.
A discussion followed about the
signing of preferential cards. The
council decided to canvas the new
sorority pledges to determine how
they felt about signing preferen­tial
cards immediately after the
last party.
' The council referred to t he
Constitutional Committee a rule
involving girls breaking their
pledges within six weeks follow­ing
formal pledging. The commit­tee
is to report to the council at a
later meeting.
The council decided that t he
times for sororities' pledge teas
could be decided individually by
the particular society involved.
Shirley Saunders, president, re­ported
that plans for Greek Week
are already underway.
tween these sister schools" He fur­ther
stated, "Past friction at these
games has been practically eli­minated;
much of the credit must
go to this meeting and the spirit
of cooperation now existing be­tween
these schools. This meeting
is just another attempt on the part
of student government to affect a
more healthy atmosphere in which
to work and play."
Activities Planned
For Homecoming
Homecoming will be November
2. Fraternities, sororities, and in­dependent
groups are thinking of
possible "Miss Homecoming candi­dates
and making plans for home­coming
decorations.
Deadline for nominating a can­didate
for "Miss Homecoming" is
Oct. 10. Judging will be held on
Oct. 15. Girls are selected on such
basis as beauty, personality, intel­ligence
and over-all apperance.
The winner will be announced
Oct. 16, and will be introduced at
the halftime ceremonies of the
homecoming game with Florida.
Last year's winner was Miss Gin­ger
Poitevint.
House decorations may come in
two sizes: large for the larger fra­ternities
and small for the smaller
fraternities and for Magnolia Hall.
The expenditure for materials is
limited to $100 plus a $50 dona­tion
for the former and $50 plus
a $50 donation for the latter.
Judging of the house decorations
will be Friday before the game.
They will be judged on originality
(30%), appropriateness (20%),
and over-all appearance and
workmanship (50%).
Also, sportswriters will pick a
Most Valuable Player during the
game.
Auburn State Fair Booth
Seen By Many Visitors
Approximately 10,000 persons,
last week visited the Auburn ex­hibit
at the Alabama State Fair
in Birmingham. The exhibit,
which was termed a success by
Chairman of High School Rela­tions
Bob Smith, consisted of co­lor
photos of the Auburn campus
housed in an attractive display
case.
The booth was manned each day
by two Auburn Students who an­swered
questions and distributed
literature about the university.
Many of the visitors were Au­burn
alumni, including a member
of the class of 1899. Visitors were
mainly interested in the new ad­ditions
to the campus.
Foreign Aid Discussion Topic Cited
As Theme For Renewal Of AC0IA
International Affairs Group To Seek
Experts From Three Aid Viewpoints
Foreign aid is to be the topic of the 1964 A u b u r n Con­ference
On International Affairs, according to an announce­ment
by ACOIA Chairman Ned Pierce.
Senator William Fulbright, Chairman of The Senate Com­mittee
on Foreign Relations, Vice President Lyndon Johnson,
and Senator Richard Russell of
Georgia compose the tentative
contact list for a headline per­sonality.
All three men are con­sidered
to be government experts
on the subject of foreign aid.
Pierce stated that foreign aid
was chosen as a desirable topic
"because of the current national
interest and debate surrounding
this subject today." The recent
cut in the tax bill by Congress
and the President's television ap­peal
to the nation for restora­tion
of these funds were cited
as interest indicators.
The ACOIA planning com­mittee
has outlined three areas of
viewpoint around which to center
the combination of lectures and
delegate discussions.
Area number one will consist
of pro-foreign a i d representa­tives
in the government. State
Department officials, foreign ser-

Graduation invitations may be
ordered Monday, Oct. 14, through
Thursday, Oct. 17, in room 311 of

Anti - Litter Drive
Begins Here Soon
^ An anti-litter campaign will be
started in the near future in the
city of Auburn, according to re­ports
received from a meeting
Monday afternoon of the steering
committee of the Auburn Beauti-rficat.
ion Committee. .u.-*^-—-
Emphasis for the projected pro­gram
will be through two ap­proaches.
The first is through an
eventual rigid enforcement of city
litter ordinances, according to Au­burn
Mayor Louie James.
The second approach, according,
to the committee, is education of
persons residing in Auburn, either
students or townspeople. An ap­peal
will be sent out to the various
campus organizations, service and
civic bodies, individual business­men,
private citizens, and the ad­ministrations
of both elementary
and secondary school systems.
The committee has established
a target date for beginning the
proposed "crackdown" for the first
week of November.
Marine Corps Selection
Group Comes Monday
Marine officer training pro­grams
will be explained in the Au­burn
Union, Oct. 15-18, by a US
Marine officer selection team, led
by Capt. A. L. Stewart, Jr.
Freshmen, sophomores and jun­iors
in good standing are eligible
for the platoon leaders class. Sen­iors
and recent graduates are eli­gible
for the officer, candidate
course program, which is a direct
assignment from civilian life to
a ten-week course as an officer
candidate.
Upon enrollment in either the
platoon leaders class or the officer
candidate course, each man may
choose to train for either a
ground or an aviation commis­sion.
Upon graduation and com­missioning,
his chosen field is the
one in which he will assume du­ties
as a marine officer.
One-Day Seminar Held
For Textile Executives
The Alabama Textile Operating
Executives carding and spinning
meeting was held at Auburn, Oct.
5. -.
The group met at 9:30 a.m. in
Thach Auditorium.'Following the
welcoming address by Dr. Fred H.
Pumphrey, dean of Engineering,
the meeting was divided into two
problem sessions. Jack DuPriets,
superintendent of Tallassee Mills,
led the discussion on carding, and
Ray Jeffcoat, superintendent of
of Opp Mills, led the group on
spinning.
Problems for discussion were
submitted to Cleveland L. Adams,
head professor of textile technolo­gy
at Auburn.
vice officers, a n d congressmen
are the talent outlets to be con­tacted
for experts in this area.
Area number two will consist
of representatives generally op­posed
to foreign aid. The commit­tee
emphasized the point that op­position
delegates to be contacted
would be men who held respon­sible
positions relating to foreign
aid, or who were recognized to
be fully informed about the fore­ign
aid program.
Area number, three would con­sist
of representatives of foreign
countries whose countries are at
least in part dependent on assis­tance
from the United States. An
ACOIA spokesman stated that
this dimension was especially im­portant
in that it gives the pro­posed
program an international
flavor which would tend to offset
any implications of a partisan
political battle.
Pierce emphasized the fact that
all plans for the conference were
tentative with the exception of
the topic. Subject to speaker ar­rangements,
dates for the con­ference
will be arranged for the
latter part of the Winter quarter.
The committee hopes to provide
a bibliography on the subject to
be sent to all. official delegates.
The office of the Southern Uni­versities
S t u d e n t Government
dissociation'CStiSGA') w i l l be
utilized to disseminate informa­tion
to visiting delegations.
Pierce stated that he and Stu­dent
Body President Jim Vick­rey
will attend the West Point
affairs conference l a t e r this
month to gain some new ideas
and contact potential speakers on
the Eastern seaboard.
ACOIA was cancelled by the
Student Senate last year because
of "inadequate financial sup­port."
Some $4,300 has been al­located
to ACOIA this year.

Spirit Committee
Relates Schedule
By ANN PINSON
Pep rallies, publicity, stadium
decorations, and better relations
form the activities of the Auburn
Spirit Committee.
A new experiment, a card sec­tion,
will be tried by the Spirit
Committee at the "Shatter Nooga"
pep rally Thursday night.
Gary Monk, co-chairman of the
stadium decorating committee
will, be in charge of this project.
Monk has secured cards with
written instructions on the back
of each card. These instructions
will enable the c a r d section to
work effectively without practice.
If this experiment is successful it
will be used in future football
games.
John Stein will be the speaker
at the "Shatter Nooga" pep rally.
He was president of the student
body and superintendent of spirit
when he attended Auburn.
Other pep rallies to be held this
fall are the traditional "Wreck
Tech" and "Beat Bama" pep ral­lies.
.'At 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct.
16, freshmen will march in the
annual "Wreck Tech" parade. The
parade will proceed to Cliff Hare
Stadium for the pep rally. Head
Coach Ralph Jordan will be the
speaker.
One of the highlights of the
"Beat Bama" pep rally is the pre­sentation
of the spirit award to
the individual or group which has
made the most outstanding con­tribution
to the Auburn Spirit.
The Spirit Committee does
much to publicize pep rallies and
football games. Cartoon Charac­ters
are painted on various store
windows. Posters are distributed
to dormitories, fraternity houses,
and other buildings on campus.
On Saturday mornings before
home football games the Spirit
Committee decorates the stadium.
Both goal posts are decorated in
crepe paper in the colors of the
respective teams.
Better relations between uni­versities
is an important job of
the Spirit Committee. Commit­tees
from the University of Geor­gia,
Georgia Tech, and Auburn
met in Auburn last week to dis­cuss
ways to better relations be­tween
these universities. On Nov.
7, better relations committees
from Alabama and Auburn will
meet in Auburn.

An organizational meeting to
form an Auburn chapter of the
Young Americans for Freedom is
scheduled for today at 4 p.m. in
Dunstan 306.
All interested people are in­vited
to attend the initial YAF
meeting. Plans to attend the na­tional
convention in Ft. Lauder­dale,
Fla., will be discussed.
Commenting on the YAF Con­vention,
acting President Charles
McNees said, "We plan to take a
full delegation from Auburn to
t h e 1963 national convention
which will be held Nov. 8, 9, and
10. The principal speaker will be
Senator Barry Goldwater, front-runner
for the GOP presidential
nomination. Senator Strom Thur­mond
and William F. Buckley, Jr.
will also address the convention."
Among the items of business at
today's meeting are presentation
of the group's constitution, its by­laws,
and election of officers.
YAF was founded in 1960 at
Sharon, Conn. The organization is
directed against Communism and
is primarily a Conservative youth
movement with the foremost ob­jective
of steming apathy on the

professor, if the 1964 presidential
election results in a battle be­tween
the wealthy Kennedys and
the ultra-wealthy Rockefellers,
the two families are going to make
a small bet on the side. The loser
is going to pay off the national
debt.

Oak Ridge Institute
Research Performed
A total of 21 science-faculty
members from Auburn have car­ried
out research work at Oak
Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies
since 1956, according to Dr. W. V.
Parker, dean of the Graduate
School.
The work by Auburn faculty
has been under the research par­ticipation
program administered
by the University Relations Board
through ORINS, a nonprofit edu­cation
corporation of 39 Southern
universities and colleges. The cor­poration
was chartered in 1946 to
provide an avenue for support of
and participation in the nation's
nuclear energy program. Auburn
has served as a sponsoring insti­tution
since 1956.
In addition to the research par­ticipation,
ORINS' traveling ex­hibits
have made ten appearances
at Auburn—twice as many as the
combined appearances made at the
two other sponsoring institutions
in Alabama.

Industrial Design Student Receives
Study Grant From General Motors
2—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, October, 9, 1963
Joseph Blake, a senior, has just
received a grant from General
Motors—the first to be received
by an Auburn student in indus­trial
design—to study a transpor­tation
problem. Blake, recently
honored as one of the top design­ers
in an ALCOA competition for
a therapeutic arm exercising de­vice,
is interested in police cars.
As Blake explains it, he is not
re-designing the shape of t he
present police vehicle, adding
pieces of chrome, making it big­ger
or smaller, or giving it a
louder horn to keep up with other
enforcement departments.
Design, to an industrial design­er,
is looking at the problem from
all angles, according to Blake.
"Industrial designers must be
aware of human needs, taking in­to
consideration the senses, with
appearance based on use a nd
structure." Industrial designers,
Blake says, fulfill a responsibility
to the consumer in a way not met
by production engineers, techni­cal
engineers or sales-engineers.
With more and more competition,
buyers demand products which
serve definite needs or products
which combine a variety of needs
into one.
A police car, for example, must
be safe. Safety here would also
imply the storage of and protec­tion
from ammunition. A police
car must be functional. But how
does a policeman direct traffic in
a bottleneck he can't reach nor
park near?
Blake figures a car s m a ll
enough to park in the middle of
an intersection with a t o p that
raises might be the answer for
the policeman who h a s to do
everything. But he won't s t op
with' just the mechanics. Have all
materials been exploited for car
production? Is it possible some
material yet to be perfected
might have a safety factor yet
unexplored? And what if that
material could absorb fumes as
somes materials absorb sound?
Blake is not working on a smog
eradication problem. But he does
point out the scope of the indus­trial
designer and the possibili­ties
that occur when ideas begin
to evolve. A transportation prob­lem
aware of such factors as size,
noise, safety and carbon mono­xide
fumes would eventually in­fluence
city planning, thereby in­volving
a majority of professions.
Blake will be working on a
model car, probably one-fifth the
actual size, for the next 10 weeks.
All of the parts will be hand­made.
He will be aided by Mrs.
Eva Pfeil, assistant professor of
architecture, and Walter Schaer,
who heads the department of in­dustrial
design at Auburn.

Progress in the Bell System...
AND LIVES AND BREATHES...
Progress takes many shapes in the Bell System. And among
the shapers are young men, not unlike yourself, impatient
to make things happen for their companies and themselves.
There are few places where such restlessness is more wel­comed
or rewarded than in the fast-growing phone business.

Napoleonic Influences Remain Today
If you ever run into someone
with a Napoleonic complex, be
kind. For the real Napoleon has
shaped our lives vastly more than
most people realize and in amus­ingly
diverse ways, from beets
to cognac and from coeds to cans.
In 1795, in the midst of a mas­sive
European war, Napoleon of­fered
a 12,000 franc award to the
first patriot who could devise a
method of keeping food fresh and
healthful until it reached the
front lines.
Nicolas Appert came up with
the solution: Food boiled in con­tainers
which were then sealed
with corks and waxed around the
edges. Englishman Peter Durand
improved upon Appert's method
by using tinplated cans—and thus
Napoleon's reward led to the de­velopment
of the tin can!
Thirteen of our United States,
either in whole or in part, owe
their very existence to a decision
of Napoleon. On April 30, 1803.
faced with the problem of owning
overseas territory but having no
control of the seas, Napoleon de­cided
to sell all French holdings
between the Mississippi River
and the Rockies—a vast 529,911.-
680 acres—to the United States
for approximately $15 million.
Today, many an individual piece
of real estate in New Orleans
alone is worth $15 million!
The French pastry and the
brandy which you may enjoy af­ter
dinner may well be the same
that Napoleon preferred. His fa­vorite
pastry was a many-layer­ed,
cream-filled confection; we
still enjoy these treats—and call
them napoleons.
Napoleon found a restful haven
from his world of battles and de­crees
at the country h o m e of
Captain Courvoisier, one of his
staff officers, in France's Jarnac
country. The Emperor often spent
the weekend with the Courvoi-siers,
and grew so fond of the
family's cognac that he adopted
it as his official brandy. Even
today, every bottle of Courvoisier
cognac b e a r s the registered
phrase, "The Brandy of Napo­leon."
"The Little Corporai," as his
admiring troops nicknamed him,
not only founded the University
of France and the huge Bank of
France, he also instituted one of
the most famous of all distinc­tions—
t h e French Legion of
Honor. Membership in the order,
founded in 1802, is awarded for
meritorious service to France in
military or civil life. A scientist
may receive the decoration for
some valuable discovery, or a
soldier for an act of conspicuous
bravery. The Legion D'Honneur
may be conferred upon women as
well as men. .
In art, music, science—name
almost any field—Napoleon Lives
on. Even the table sugar you use
every day is the indirect result
of a Napoleonic decree. Though
a method of extracting sugar
from sugar beets was discovered
in 1787, cane sugar continued to
be the preferred product, and was
imported from countries which
could grow sugar cane in their
warm, moist climates.
But during the Napoleon Wars,
when France was blockaded by
the Allies, Napoleon made huge
grants of land and money to es­tablish
the beet-sugar industry in
France. With that start, the in­dustry
grew rapidly and spread
to other countries on the contin­ent
and to the United States. To­day,
at least 15 states in the U.S.
A. grow beets for sugar, while

only three states produce sugar
from cane.
Perhaps the best-known con­tribution
that Napoleon made to
mankind was his Code Napoleon
.—a code of laws. It was the first
clear, c o m p a c t statement of
French law in centuries. The Na­poleonic
Code became a model
for law reformers throughout the
world, and is the ancestor of
many laws that govern us today.
So next time you stir a spoon­ful
of sugar into your morning
coffee, open a tin can of soup for
lunch, or sip your Courvoisier
cognac after dinner, give a
thought to the little man who
made it all; possible—Napoleon.
Various Sidelights
Viewed In Papers
By SALLY QUILLIAN
Ed. Note—The following bits of
information were gleaned from
the many newspapers which The
Plainsman receives each week.
ART
Fine art pictures from the col­lege
library are available to stu­dents
of Tulane and Newcomb in
New Orleans f o r private use.
Twenty-nine framed prints and
85 unframed ones are' among
those rented to college students
for a fee of $1.00 per semester.
Prints range from New Orleans
scenes to Italian Renaissance
paintings and all have hooks to
make them suitable for hanging.
CAMPUS TRAINS
At L.S.U. this fall, welcome ad­ditions
to the campus are two
"Tiger Trains" which maintain a
15 minute schedule throughout
the campus. These vehicles, call­ed
"Zoo Trains" by some because
they are like touring' trains in
amusement parks, were bought to
help solve the parking problem
and to transport students who
have a long distance to cover.
The trains make a circuit in­cluding
dormitories, fraternity
houses, apartments near the cam­pus,
and the central academic
area.
WOMEN
From the Kilby Sun (Dixie's

Student Designs Dish Truck
A quicker, cleaner way of
clearing restaurant tables has
been devised by Thomas Hollo-way
Cook, Auburn industrial de­sign
student.
Aware of the strain placed on
waitresses a n d busboys during
restaurant rush hours and the in­convenience
experienced by pat­rons
while they wait for cleared
tables, Cook designed and built
a dish truck. He entered his pro­ject
in the Aluminum Company
of America student design com­petition.
What is wonderful about a dish
truck? First, because of its light­ness,
maneuverability and com-partmentation,
it can be moved
to a table and all the dirty dishes
can be removed in one operation.
THE TIME TO GIVE
"Learn to give
Money to colleges while you live.
Don't be silly and think you'll try
to bother the colleges when you die

SUPPORT THE
FRYING PAN TO FIRE
With the withdrawal of cigar­ette
advertisements from at least
900 college newspapers this fall,
The Tech of M.I.T. in Cambridge,
Massachusetts predicts a reduc­tion
in the size of college papers.
As these national ads took up 30
per cent of national advertising
space, a replacement will be
needed quickly to make up for
loss of income. One possible re­placement
is the liquor industry.
Opponents of cigarette ads on
moral grounds may be embarras­sed
to learn that the cigarette ads
may be replaced by an even more
objectionable element in college
papers.

The nation's leading engineer­ing
colleges h a v e research re­sources
worth $200 million. Al­most
one-half of this amount is
furnished by the Federal govern­ment.
Figures reported in the eleventh
edition of the Engineering Col­lege
Research Review, just pub­lished
by the Engineering Col­lege
Research Council of the
American Society for Engineer­ing
Education, reveal that about
$132 million of the total $200
million come f r o m government
support. Of this sum, $75 million
are designated as military and
$37 million as non-military, while
$20 million are not designated.
Non-Federal resources amount
to only $38 million—$12 million
being designated as industrial
and $26 million being undesignat­ed.
The remaining $30 million are
n o t identified in regard to
source.
.Dr. C. C. Chambers, Chairman
of the.JECRC and Vice President
for Engineering Affairs at t h e
University of Pennsylvania, said,
"Each successive biennial re­port
not only shows an increase
in the quantity of research being
done in our engineering colleges
but also, particularly in recent
editions, there . is an increasing
proportion of work on basic prob­lems
involving graduate students
in engineering. Research and
graduate studies are inseparable
in engineering as in other scien­ces.
This report shows clearly the
general increase in high level,
high quality engineering educa­tion
in this country.

Not only does it remove the
dishes but also the left over food,
making it quicker and easier for
the-next customer to be seated.
In the second place, the dish
truck sorts the dishes while they
are being loaded. It has an indi­vidual
container for each type of
item on the table. Furthermore,
the container compartments, up­on
being unloaded, can be run
through the dishwasher with the

The entire operation of the dish
truck is from a standing position.

The Litter Trail
Litter on the campus grounds is reach­ing
a point of grave concern to those charg­ed
with the maintenance of university pro­perty.
Paper, cigarette butts, and beer cans
are to be found in great abundance from
the lawn of Samford Hall to that of the
president's mansion.
This is one problem that Auburn stu­dents
can and should endeavor to eliminate.
Costs of running a major university in­crease
to yearlv proportions that defy the
imagination, The appropriation for main­tenance
this year required a substantial in­crease
from the legislature.
Litter is of course only a fraction of this
maintenance cost. It does, on the other
hand, require enough maintenance person­nel
to pay at least two full time instructors.
This cost is a gross waste of educational
funds.
Some student endeavors have previous­ly
been made in this area. Alpha Phi Ome­ga,
Auburn's national service fraternity
chapter, has installed several waste cans
across the campus. More cans and more use
of the available cans are greatly needed.
No matter what efforts are made to beau­tify
a college campus, several beer cans
will eliminate its scenic value to visitors.
A little student responsibility in this area
can help Auburn save both money and pres­tige
as a clean university community in a
setting of natural beauty.
The Beautification Committee of Auburn
plans to support a program in cooperation
with the police department to enforce strict
fines for littering. What this means in es^
sence is that some examples will be made
of violators to show that the community
means business. The fine range is $25-$100.
If campus pride isn't a sufficient motiva­tor,,
perhaps the pocketbook will do the
trick.
Cold War Veterans
We have received during the past week
a host of detailed information concerning
a proposed G. I. bill for cold war veterans.
The bill is being sponsored by Sen. Ralph
Yarbrough (D-Texas). His office has evi­dently
spared no pains to secure the aid
of the collegiate press in endeavors to se­cure
passage of the measure. In short, the
bill has our support.
The basic provisions of the proposed leg­islation
are: (all benefits subject to two
years minimum active duty) 1) one and one
half days of education to post-Korean vet­erans
for each day of militarv service for
the time between January 31, 1955 and
Julv 1, 1967. 2) Guarantee and direct loan
assistance for the purchase of homes,
farmlands, livestock and machinery. A max­imum
of 36 months assistance is allowed.
As of this date, some 45% of qualified
American males are serving in the military.
A large number, 55% of the total a?e
group, are staying at home to find jobs in
industry or to pursue their education. It
is quite obvious from this fact that the man
not going into military service has a tre­mendous
advantage over the man who
spends at least two years in the service of
his country. This advantage is clearly
an unjust one. Compensation to cold war
veterans is one way in which we might off­set
this disadvantage.
In many cases, the term "cold war veter­ans"
is true only in the sense of diplomatic
terminology. Many of today's servicemen
have served and are serving under gun­fire
in such areas as South Viet Nam, Ber­lin,
and Cuba.
Several critics of the proposed legislation
have based their objections solely unon its
additional cost to-the government. We find
these objections to be unmerited. Youths
between the ages of 16 and 21 and ser­vice
veterans above the age of 22 consti­tute
the highest rates of unemployment.
Skills and abilities that are idle now could
be developed through education into useful
tools of industry and government.
There are currently about four million
veterans who would qualify for benefits
under the veterans' program. Statistics in­dicate
that about one half of this number
would take advantage of the opportunity
for continued education. Whereas the ori­ginal
cost to Uncle Sam would be fairly
high, it is only logical to believe that the
program will be more than compensated
for by the college graduates of this group
whose income tax bracket will rise substan­tially.
Relief to unemployment compensa­tion
rolls is another financial asset.
This legislation was introduced to the
86th Congress, where it passed the Senate
57 to 31. It failed to get out of the House
Committee. It was reintroduced to the 87th
Congress and was reported out of the Sen­ate
Labor and Public Welfare Committee.
The legislative snarl of last year has pre­vented
its further consideration.
We feel that this measure is of great
economic and social value to the nation.
The Congress should move to get this leg­islation
on the floor and pass it. Our legis­lative
machinery always, seems to have time
for everything but the mbst significant pro­posals.

Conference On Oppression Suggested
For Dragon Lady And Southerners
By Bobby Boettcher
To my great disappointment. I
learned the other day that Mad­ame
N h u , gorgeous "Dragon
Lady" a n d power-behind-the-throne
of South Vietnam, has de­layed
her arrival in New York
for a few m o r e days of Paris
shopping during h e r leisurely
jaunt around the globe. I'm sure
we are all waiting in gleeful an­ticipation
of the opportunity to
see and hear on our own soil, the
beautiful siren of the East,
whether we be Buddhist, Catho­lic,
or Southern Baptist.
In lieu of Paris pleasures, per­haps
the Madame, employing an
astute sense of political timing,
has decided to arrive in New
York during one of the numerous
excursions to that part of the
country of certain Southern gov­ernors
who by an advantageous
coincidence, come for the same
purpose as she—to tell everyone
in no uncertain terms just how
wrong they are about "the way
things are back home." With such
an affinity toward these Southern
gentlemen, she possibly feels that
such timing on her part would be
mutually beneficial to their re­spective
causes.
She certainly is endowed with
greater natural persuasiveness
than any of the Southern "heads
of state," a point which would
probably get little argument from
said heads. And it would also be a
safe bet that she would be more
effective than they. Judging from
the record thus far, the oracles
of the U.S. doctrine of willful
group oppression have provided
laughs for Harvard law students
and Washington subcommittees,
and a little municipal strife be­tween
mayors, university presi­dents,
and students, but-few con­verts.
However, Madame Nhu has
little to cheer about either at this
juncture other than a new Paris
hat or two. The fact is that every­one
knows the Dragon Lady
breathes fire, and t h e y wisely
choose to keerj out of range of the
flame, no matter how tantalizing
a closer look at those seductive
eyes may seem. The fire-breath­ing
continues, notwithstanding
pleas for moderation from not
only millions of her countrymen,
but also from her notorious fam­ily
which probably prefers fire
of a lower temperature although
it has no basic objection to flame
itself.
With so much in common with
each other, the Madame and the
Southern gentlemen of state per­haps
should arrange some kind of
conference in which techniques of
oppression could be discussed and
ideas exchanged. Wide areas of
agreement would be found in the
employment of such techniques
as mass arrests, contortion of
Christian concepts to justify any
political action, denial of voting
and employment opportunities to
large groups, and labeling of any­one
who disagrees with you as a
Communist. And surely they
would find warm fellowship in
sharing that great principle of
biting the hand that feeds you.
And t h e n everybody could go
home with a renewed dedication
to the cause, a n d a realization
that the World is a pretty small
place after all. They might entitle
their conclave "The Demagogues'
Summit."
Bread Basket Turnover
Sale Of Wheat To Soviet Union
Could Mean Setback In Cold War
By Harry Hooper
Honor In Advertising
While racing for the coffee pot at com­mercial
time of the Auburn-Kentucky TV
football films Sunday afternoon, we were
stopped short by words from the sponsor,
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Co. As anyone knows, TV commercials are
rarely a commodity which attracts interest.
In this particular instance, the commen-lator
was discussing his company's atti-ude
about higher education and its influ­ence
on society. They even advocated a po­licy
of which we have approved for qui'te
some, time. It is, stated simply, that all
students of sufficient mental capacity
should have the opportunity to obtain high­er
education at the taxpayer's expense (if
other funds are not available).
As if this gesture of business nobility
wasn't sufficient, the next advertisement
was devoted as a public service to the Unit­ed
Appeal and its efforts to aid the physi­cally
handicapped.
We are extremely pleased to see a large
industrial firm devote some of its_ adver­tising
projects to such worthy endeavors.
It gives us even greater pleasure to see
such gestures made on a show concerning
Auburn University. Congratulations are in
order. We wish that more business firms
would follow Southern Bell's example.
On Oct. 1st a confidential do­cument
which was released at the
U.N. reveals that the Soviet Union
is desperately in need of food, es­pecially
wheat.
Because of internal problems
with labor and weather the wheat
crop is conservatively estimated to
be a 10-20% failure. The Central
Committee of the U.S.S.R. is pre­paring
to return to the compul­sory
labor program which was
previouslv abandoned after "he
fall of Stalinism. Russia is vir­tually
starving and definite steps
have to be taken.
In the United States the oic-ture
is auite different. The whe^t
market is flooded with the Great
Plains grain. As Kennedy's wheat
referendum was defeated the
question of what to do with the
surplus wheat is an ever-present
one. Rumors of a solution came out
of the Ottawa wheat markets last
month—sell the wheat to Russia.
JFK okaved the deal as Wash­ington
officials suspected he
would. The feeling of the Senate
was tested and the Kennedy camp
feels that the Senate will go along
with the exchange. However, ob­jections
were raised from the
more conservative element of the
Senate. The leader is the fast-ris­ing
conservative Barry Goldwater
of Arizona.
The deal is reportedly 3 million
tons of wheat at $250 million,
American. It will move enough
wheat to make a significant im­pression
in the American wheat
market. The farmers on the Great
Plains would like to see the mon­ey
and would be equally pleased
to sec some government store­houses
emotied to make room for
next year's surplus crop.
The deal is not supposed to be a
precedent for future deals of this
nature. However, .government po­licies
have a wav of being repeat­ed
every year. The Russians would
pet a kick out of seeing this move
become a yearly maneuver. Those
millions of Russian agricultural
workers who toil on the bleak
Russian Dlains could well be used
in industry—to build guns, tanks,
and atom bombs.
Starvation is a sure sign of im­pending
civil discontent. Could it
be that a huncrv stomach will give
the people of Russia the impetus
to question and change the pre­s
e n t communist government?
American wheat will not cause
anvthing but satisfaction.
The American people seem to
forfet when a deal of this nature
turns up that we are fighting a
cold war. Though it is cold, war
has only one meaning—defeat of
the enemy. Yalta should be exam­ple
enough. Compromise means
defeat. Would the people of the
United States give aid to North
Vietnam? Surely not. But isn't
Russia just as great an enemy?
Peaceful co-existance is a joke
when one side will settle for no­thing
less than victory. We should

this university as interesting and
informative as possible.
"The Auburn Hour," now a tra­dition
at Auburn as a student-run
and student-controlled radio pro­gram,
offering interview, infor­mation
and items of interest and
humor, had its fall premier last
Tuesday night at 9 p.m. on WJHO
radio. Shelby Mcintosh, superin­tendent
of public relations, pro­duces
the weekly show as a part
of the total picture of public re­lations
with which he will be
dealing this school year. Shelby
has worked conscientiously in
past weeks to create a "new" and
more exciting show than it has
been in the past. He has incor­porated
many ideas into the fab­ric
of the show idea which have
come from student criticism of
past efforts. Even though y ou
may not be particularly interest­ed
in campus politics or in the
activities of student government,
you would be interested in this
year's format. It will encompass
interviews with campus person­alities,
local news items, debates
on controversial and unusual top­ics,
reports from the Student Sen­ate,
editorials, and musical fea­tures.
Shelby also plans to broad­cast
t h e campus-wide political
rally from the Union Ballroom on
Oct. 29, at which time you will
have an opportunity to hear your
fall candidates.
The student who listens to the
program this year will be better
informed, he will be entertained
and quite possibly he will become
as mad as a wet eagle at som?
of the opinions expressed on the
free-wheeling a n d fast-moving
production. In fact, I personally
hope that "The Auburn Hour"
will shake the apathy from some
of those who complain loud and
long of the little that students can
effect through the structure of
student government and who do
nothing under God's heaven to
create better solutions. This show
will be controversial. It will
gauge the tenderness of student
opinion on many subjects and stir
up the fast rising interest of many
students in campus activities.
I would urge each person on
the campus—faculty and student
—to tune in this weekly feature.
After listening, if anyone has any
criticism at all about the content
or intent of the program, I would
also ask that t h a t criticism be
channeled in the form of a letter
or phone call so that Shelby can
produce the show more effec­tively.
Address any correspond­ence
to "The Auburn Hour," Stu­dent
Government Office, Union
Building or call Ex. 315.
This is your radio program. It
is sensitive to what you want in
the way of entertainment. Mold it
with constructive comments into
the type of program that will be
most useful to you and the cam­pus.

A Human God???
Gods' Evolution Historically Related
From Specialization To Omnipotence
By Hunter Smith
History is loaded with gods.
Archaic people deitized anything
unfamiliar and strange to them.
The more the mvsteries of nature
were revealed to him, the fewer
gods he seemed to have. His at­tention
became more and more
centered on himself. He found
that he could move his arm when
he wanted to—because he wanted
to. There was a will. His gods had
wills also. The breeze blew be­cause
man's god willed it to. A
rock fell from a cliff or a river
flowed because man's god willed
it to. Man was terrified by light­ning
and thunder. Zeus was one
of the most powerful gods. Man
began to look for reasons for na­tural
phenomenae other than the
fact that "The gods willed it so"
and he began to find them. In the
meanwhile his main god began to
take on the specialities of the
lesser gods.
As historians probe into the
lives of the peoples and into the
events of the nast, the first nlace
they look is at the gods of these
peoples. Thev can find more there
about how the ancients lived and
thought than they can anvwhere
else. The feelings that a god had
about his w i f e or about laws
might be the feelings of a king.
In the early days, the g o ds
were limited to a certain geo­graphic
location. When men tra­veled
to foreign lands, thev felt-alone
because they had left their
gods behind in their own coun­tries.
As m a n ' s geographical
scopes and boundaries expanded,
he took his gods with him. He
began to conceive of an omni­potent,
omnipresent god, one
which he could not leave behind
because that god was everywhere.
That was much more convenient.
Man saw that the one advant­age
he had over the beasts was
his power of reason—his mind.
Man's god is one which thinks.
That is what makes him so pow­erful—
the fact that he can think
even better than man. Progress­ing
and evolving (It has been es­tablished
that the earth and the
creatures on it change and evolve,
hasn't it?), this creature with in-not
be duped into thinking Russia
will settle for less than victory.
The only way America will sur­vive
is to settle for the same
thing—victory. Selling them es­sential
material is not the road to
victory. Let's hope Mr. Goldwater's
constituents will see the light and
stop this fiasco.
telligence didn't like the idea that
lower animals like dogs and ele­phants
and snakes and cats had
something over him—they were
deities. He raised himself above
them, or rather, brought them
down below him. Even the sacred
• cattle of India are losing their
grin.
Gods are the reflection of the
men who worship them. Brutal
men had terrible and awful gods.
Gentle man had loving and for­giving
gods. Seafaring people had
gods of the sea. Farming people
had gods and goddesses of fer­tility.
The Vikings, whose way of
life was to kill or be killed, had
violent, hammer-slinging, drag­on-
slaying gods. Man's gods are
identical with their way of life.
Man realized that war and the
weapons of war could not only
destroy an army, they could also
destrov a nation, a race of people,
a continent, a planet. So war
would not do. Neither would a
god of war do. Man didn't want
his species to be destroyed. This
became an obsession. He began to
look for the ultimate, the security
that his existence on earth would
not be extinguished. Love a nd
faith seemed the only alternate.
Modern man sees that the only
way he can have the "security"
he seeks is bv peaceful coexis­tence.
The gods of modern man,
or the majority of them, are gra­cious,
nice-mannered, forgiving
gods who proclaim PEACE and
LOVE to the universe.
The dominant philosopher of
the early 19th century held the
doctrine that the Supreme Being,
the Divine Mind, h a d evolved
into a god of good and that the
world h a d followed, believing
more and more in love and broth­erhood.
A later philosopher intro­duced
a Copernican Revolution
which attempted to explain re­ligion
in materialistic terms. He
taught that mind is a product of
matter—if t h e r e is no matter,
there cannot be a mind nor in­telligence
nor a Divine Mind. He
organized the belief that gods are
products of the mind of man.
Finally, all this has been lead­ing
up to one question: If the
gods of man are the reflection of
that man, w h a t does it mean
when a man has no god? When
he rejects all known ways to be
cleansed, as religions are, what is
he? Does he see his own doom,
realize even more his own short­comings,
or is he creating even
another religion? He might see

Flora.
Flora is a case in point. While
we complain bitterly about bad
seats in the football stadium, one
felt swoop of nature wipes out
4,000 human lives a n d three-fourths
of the productive food
crop of Cuba.
It will be interesting to see how
Cuba and Fidel Castro react to
this latest epidemic. The Cuban
economy is reported to already be
in dire straits. Fidel's popularity
has not grown much stronger. In­creased
empty stomachs mav well
accomplish w h a t the United
States has so long desired, Fidel's
overthrow from the inside.
While it is distasteful perhaps
to discuss the political and eco­nomic
advantages arising from
tragedv. practicality insists that
the United States was dealt the
ace of spades bv hurricane Flora.
Russia is Cuba's primary source
of foreign assistance. The Soviets
are at this t i m e courting the
world community for supplies of
that most significant bread-mak­er,
wheat. It is doubtful that the
Soviet Bloc is prepared at this
time to lend extensive disaster
assistance to Cuba. Should Khru-schev
tighten Russian belts even
tighter at this time in order to
save communist Cuba, the grumb­lings
at home will be heard.
Fidel's latest actions at t he
United Nations have not parti­cularly
endeared "the bearded
one" to either the Soviets or the
United States. In a fiery blast de­voted
to h i s traditional tirade
against the imperialists across the
street, Fidel announced that Cuba
would not sign the limited test
ban treaty, which already con­tains
the signatures of some 100
nations. Even police states cannot
calculate the effects of a woman.
Flora could not have picked a
'worse' time to turn her devastat­ing
wrath on the red casanova of
the Carribbean.
After final evaluation of the
hurricane disaster, Castro may
find himself in a beggar's role.
The free world is the only ele­ment
of the world community in
a position to lend him extensive
assistance. The conflict between
our past tradition of sympathy
for disaster stricken areas and
our recent relationship with Cuba
will cause some rumblings on this
front should Fidel come knocking
at the door of Uncle Sam.
In another area of the Carib­bean.
"Papa Doc" Duvalier's reign
of terror seems insignificant in
view of t h e natural might of
Flora. No witchcraft, no secret
police were able to cope with 100
mile per h o u r winds. Flora's
wrath might be construed in some
cmarters as an act of mercy for
4 000 souls who no longer have to
deal with the Haitian govern­ment.
The 50-100,000 homeless
mav prove somewhat of a prob­lem
to Duvalier's security force,
but turkey will still be eaten at
the palace table. Flora is only a
headache lor the likes of Duva-lier.
Hurricanes are somewhat rem­iniscent
of the commonplace, "big
news" human emotions of t he
dav. They spring up from no­where,
as the man Mahatma
Ghandi did in India, to reach a
crescendo of revolution and wan­ton
destruction. It all seems so
silly when the winds abate and
the lull appears.
And so goes a "quiet" day in
the 1963 news. While some Amer­icans
review the fall of the Yan­kees
and a w a i t the important
news from Sen. Goldwater's of­fice.
Hurricane Flora is blowing
in the wind.
that man has limited his god by
thinking that he knows his god.
Just how far can the imagination
stretch? How can one say that his
god is an infinite god when one
has no facilities to imagine what
infinity is. The knowledge of
man, or rather man's ability to
g a i n knowledge, is limited.
Therefore if he has a god, must
this god not himself be limited?
And can anything which is limit­ed
be a god?

Letters To The Editor
Student Criticizes
Intermarriage Column
Editor, The Plainsman:
A recent article in The Plains­man
dealt with the supposed 'real
problem' of integration. The ar­ticle
conveniently overlooked
economic equalitv. voting rights.
the rights of public accommoda­tions,
etc.. and dealt with misceg­enation—
the intermarriage or in­terbreeding
of whites and other
races. The article seemed to im­ply
that the recent marriage of a
Negro and white student at the
University of Georgia has con­firmed
the belief held by a cer­tain
group of people in our so­ciety
that the integration of, yes,
even restaurants would automa­tically
lead to mixed marriages.
In considering this viewpoint, it
seems only fair that we look at a
region of our country which has
practiced integration for many
years, ex facto though it may be.
In these states, social contact be­tween
the races has not created
a rush to the marriage bureau.
Of course, cases do occur, a point
in question being the Sammy Da­vis,
Jr.-May Britt wedding.
However, these are very much
in the minority and, in all cases,
strictly the private business of
the two individuals involved. It
seems that in the parts of Amer­ica
where intermarriage is not
legislated against, the practice is
still most prevalent to marry
within the races. This fact proves
contrary to the proposed princi­ple
that intermarriage will be the
'main product of an integrated
society.
Let us now consider a much
broader concept of miscegenation,
the marriage of whites and races
other than the Negroid. Would it
be fair to say that it is wrong for
a white American to m a r r y a
yellow-skinned Japanese or a
brown-skinned Asian? If so, there
are many American G.I.'s a nd
world travelers who should be
chastised.
"Would you want your daught­er
to marry a Negro," a cliche
that has become increasingly
popular in the camp of the racist,
carries the subtle undertones that
the Negro male is interested in
social relationships w i t h white
females. It seems that we falsely
flatter ourselves in this assump­tion.
What one of us is interested
in dating, much less marrying a
Negro? Should the Negro feel any
differently toward the white
race? Again, the University of
Georgia marriage presents itself.
One would l i k e to think that
these two people married each
other simply because they were
in love. Yes, something as basic
and meaningful as that. Love, as
defined by Mr. Webster, is 'a
feeling of strong personal attach­ment
induced by sympathetic un­derstanding.'
However, in the
case of the University of Geor­gia
students, love was considered
to be an undirected emotion
which, if used as a serious justifi­cation,
could cause the entire mo­ral
structure of society to col­lapse!
Strong words indeed.
How could two educated people
aid in t h e downfall of society
simply because they married each
other? The reply could be that
the children which will probably
result from this marriage might
be detrimental to the social order.
Although serious complications
will obviously arise in a society
which has not yet learned to ac­cept
a 'half-caste' (White-Negro
that is), the idea that the mon-grelization
of our society will oc­cur
because of these children has
never been scientifically accept-

THE DEAN YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN
Colleges are complicated and bewildering places, filled with
complicated and bewildering people. Today, let us examine
one of the most complicated and bewildering—yet fetching and
lovable—of all campus figures. I refer, of course, to the dean
of students. . \- , - •
Policeman and confessor, s\\<ify$$t<33i%A%&ee!r; Warden and
oracle, proconsul and pal—the dean of students is all of these.
How, then, can we understand him? Well sir, perhaps the best
way is to take an average day in the life of an average dean.
Here, for example, is what happened last Thursday to Dean
Killjoy N. Damper of the Duluth College of Belles Lettres
and Pemmican.
At C a.m. he woke, dressed, lit a Marlboro, and went up on
the roof of his house to remove the statue of the Founder
which had been placed there during the night by liigh-spirited
undergraduates.
$m< folicm/i, kfcSiO^hJ, ittr-jfc
At 7 a.m. he lit a Marlboro and walked briskly to the cam­pus.
(The Dean had not been driving his car since it had been
placed on the roof of the girls dormitory by high-spirited
undergraduates.)
At 7:45 a.m. he arrived on campus, lit a Marlboro and
climbed the bell tower to remove his secretary who had been
placed there during the night by high-spirited undergraduates.
At 8 a.m. he reached his office, lit a Marlboro, and met with
E. Pluribus Ewbank, editor of the student newspaper. Young
Ewbank had been writing a series of editorials urging the
United States to annex Canada. When the editorials had
evoked no response, he had taken matters into his own hands.
Accompanied by his society editor and two proofreaders, he
had gone over the border and conquered Manitoba. With great
patience and several Marlboro Cigarettes, the Dean persuaded
young Ewbank to give Manitoba back. Young Ewbank, how­ever,
insisted on keeping Winnipeg.
At 9 a.m. the Dean lit a Marlboro and met with Robert
Penn Sigafoos, president of the local Sigma Chi chapter, who
came to report that the Deke house had been put on top of
the Sigma Chi house during the night by high-spirited under­graduates.
At 10 a.m. the Dean lit a Marlboro and went to umpire
an intramural softball game on the roof of the law school
where the campus baseball diamond had been placed during
the night by high-spirited undergraduates.
At 12 noon the Dean had a luncheon meeting with the
proxy, the bursar, and the registrar, at the bottom of the cam­pus
swimming pool where the faculty dining room had been
placed during the night by high-spirited undergraduates.
Marlboros were passed after luncheon, but not lighted, owing
to dampness. ;
At 2 p.m., back in his office, the Dean lit a Marlboro and
received the Canadian Minister of War who said unless young
Ewbank gave back Winnipeg, the Canadian army would march
against the U.S. immediately. Young Ewbank was summoned
and agreed to give back Winnipeg if he could have Moose Jaw.
The Canadian Minister of War at first refused, but finally con­sented
after young Ewbank placed him on the roof of the
metallurgy building.
At 3 p.m. the Dean lit a Marlboro and met with a delega­tion
from the student council who came to present him with
a set of matched luggage in honor of his fifty years' service as
dean of students. The Dean promptly packed the luggage with
all his clothing and fled to Utica, New York, where he is now
in the aluminum siding game. ©i983MaxShuiuuui
The makers of Marlboro, who sponsor this column, don't
claim that Marlboro is the dean of filler cigarettes—but it's
sure at the head of the class. Settle back with a Marlboro
and tee what a lot you get to likel
able.
It appears highly improbable
that integration vin the United
States in general, and the South
in particular, will lead to mass
mixed marriages and a 'tea-col­ored
race.' Even in the wildest
figments of one's imagination, this
will not happen. However, let us
be quite fair and wander into this
realm of conjecture and consider
what harm, if any, could occur.
Does it seem conceivable that the
progeny of mixed marriages liv­ing
in the environment of tech­nologically
advanced America
will be a detriment to our con­tinued
growth? Not likely. No,
miscegenation does not express
itself to the inherent evil that
will be borne of integration.

Munro Protests
Registration Farce
Dear Mr. Editor,
While it has always been found
a bit tricky in the face of your
editorial frown to write at any
time of the year, fall quarter is
especially fruitless because so
many of the people who won't
understand these letters haven't
flunked out yet. The others, who
have read this blurb before, also
have a question or two (Won't
he ever graduate?).
At any rate, this is being writ­ten
as a protest, per usual, against
a combination that seems alien
to my simple, country way of
thinking. Did you notice? During
registration this fall, togetherness
was stressed. After pulling class
cards in record time, we all gath­ered
around the registrar's check­ers
to talk it over and rub should­ers
and (modesty limits me here)
with all kinds of fellow class mem­bers.

Adventuring Into Books
The.Plainsman continues today
a series entitled "Adventuring
Into Books" as an editorial serv­ice
to its"readers. Articles are re­printed
by permission from The
Royal Bank of Canada Monthly
Letter.
Myths
At one time every myth was a
valid truth, the m o s t accurate
statement possible on the basis
of the facts then known. Mytho­logy
is an intuitive way of ap­prehending
and expressing uni­versal
truths. It is a dramatic
representation of the inward or
outward experience of the men
who fashioned it. The great fea-was
uncalled for and heartily dis­couraged
by the AVA (you'll hold
up a line) and the Corps of Li­brarians
(you'll hurt the books).
In the course of the afternoon, or
morning,' as the case may be, we
all got to know a lot of other peo­ple,
learned some new words and
just generally got together.
However, this move of a state
school was countered by another
state agency. Togetherness was
trampled. Sometime this summer,
like a thief in the night, the state
snuck out to Chewacla State Park
and overprinted those nice little
green-and-white signs that said
"Scoot by 10:30 p.m." with some­thing
about closing the, joint by
sundown. SUNDOWN! Can you
imagine that? Can you tell me
when, exactly, it is? It comes at a
little different time each day, you
know, and if you.aren't carrying
your almanac or fishing guide,
by the time you look up from what
you're doing, gather your wits
and things and head for the gate,
bam, Berlin wall 'till 8 a.m.
A move like this does not pro­mote
the spirit found in the afore­mentioned
move. In fact, it dis­plays
the continuity of thought
often attributed to our freshman
coeds. Have you noticed them this
year, incidentally? Umm. It was
possibly just a .rumor that a
speaker to a group of freshman
women referred to the faces of
his audience as the starry bright­ness
of a summer sky. So beauti­ful—
so hard to reach—so empty.
Well, yes, about the subject
matter. Our new policy at the
park will undoubtedly save a lot
of flashlight batteries, but it sure
will mess up those Sunday night
cookouts, etc. This should be
questioned not only by the steak
and hotdog people but by the stu­dents
themselves. Right now, turn
to the person beside you and ask
(quietly if you're in class) why
Chewacla is closing down early.
If this fellow happens to be a
park ranger or a fuzzy fellow with
a growl, so much the better. You,
and he, will have to admit, it is
a much safer question than any­thing
about registration.
Yours for a more consistant line
of thought,

Thank God For McMillan
And Governor Wallace
Editor, The Plainsman;
Thank God for people like
George McMillan and our belov­ed
governor of Alabama, George
Wallace. I read with great in­terest
and enlightenment George
McMillan's article in the Oct. 4th
Plainsman: "Intermarriage Of
Blacks and Whites Only Logical
Outcome Of Integration." Before
reading this wonderful article, I
had the badly mistaken idea that
segregationists hated Negroes. I
now find that it is not the segre­gationist's
hate for Negroes that
makes him bomb homes and
churches and murder children; it
is his aversion for certain colors.
I definitely agree with Mr. Mc­Millan
that the most logical rea-ture
about reading a myth is not
what wild hunter dreamed the
story, or what childish race first
dreaded it, but what strong peo­ple
first lived by it and what
wise man first perfectly told it.
A myth perceives, however
darkly, things which are for all
ages true, and we understand and
enjoy it only in so far as we have
some perception of the same
truth.
That truth illuminated the hu­man
mind when there was no
other light. It set man upon his
feet and taught him to walk by
himself. It enticed man forward
out of his brutishness, breaking
down to a useful current the ter­rible
high tension he feared in
life all around him. It spoke per­suasively
to men a n d women
about good and evil, cultivating
their humanity foot by foot.
Some of the myths are dead
because they have performed
their evolutionary task and are
needed no more, but others pro­vide
answers to the riddles of
life.
Variety in reading
Part of the splendour of our
literature lies in its infinite var­iety.
son one can come up with for be­ing
a segregationist is disliking
"coffee-colored" and "tea-color­ed"
and (although Mr. McMillan
did not mention it in his article,
I am sure that he should in­clude)
black.
Mr. McMillan also implies that
segregationists have "sound bel­lies."
That it takes a "sound
belly" to bomb a.church or kill a
child, I have absolutely no doubt.
Mr. McMillan goes on to say that
segregationists "have always pre­ferred
the stronger 'white light­ning'
to "tea or coffee." I can only
say that I have long suspected
this to be true. Long live Gov­ernor
George "Adolph" Wallace.
Sincerely,
J. P. Smith

Litter of Beer Cans
Not True Lovliness
Editor, The Plainsman:
"Auburn, the loveliest village
of the plains." Is this really a true
statement? Look around you; is
the litter of beer cans, beer bot­tles,
and the paper cups which
lie on our streets loveliness?
This litter problem is the cause
for quite a bit of concern among
the Presbyterian Pioneer Fellow­ship
(Jr. High). To throw empty
beer bottles and cans in the
middle of one of our downtown
intersections as was seen at Mag­nolia
and Gay Streets several
weeks ago is truly a disrespectful,
thoughtless, and dangerous act.
Even the campus, of which we
are also proud, is being carelessly
littered by selfish, unthinking
people.
Can't we all be more respon­sible
and considerate of others
and our community. Please, play
your part and help make your
Auburn really the "Loveliest Vil­lage
of the Plains."
Respectfully yours,
Pioneer Fellowship
First Presbyterian
Church
A person who wishes to read
profitably, and to avoid becoming
a one-subject or one-author bore,
might make a schedule whereby
he read a book of philosophy,
then a novel, followed in succes­sion
by history, biography, dra­ma,
sociology, religion, fine arts
and science. He might like to re­serve
poetry and the great Vic­torian
essayists for bedtime read­ing.
Both poetry and essays de­light
us with q u i c k turns of
speech or the use of an old word
in a new and exactly fitting
sense that gives a thrill of plea­sure.
Or, if a person does not wish
to make up his own list, he may
join one of the groups reading
Great Books.
The great books deal with the
knowledge of all time and with
problems which are problems for
everybody today. They provide
bridges by which their readers
may communicate a g r e e a b ly
across the barriers of specializa­tion
with other men and women
who are looking for the same
opportunity.
These books are not too hard
to read. They were not too diffi­cult
for the school children of
former ages or for the people
who are leaders today. They are,
in fact, so truly basic that no
deep or specialized knowledge is
needed in order to understand
them.
No one who reads the great
books will find in them the way
to make or ban the bomb, but he
will find an explanation of the
thought process w h i c h make
bombers or banners. The r o ot
problems of good and evil, or
love and hate, of happiness and
misery, and of l i f e and death,
have not changed very much. By
learning about these things one
approaches in some measure the
knowledge of the common heri­tage
that underlies the one world
men and women dream about.

When we read a classic we are

'Best Sports Coverage In The SEC
THE PLAINSMAN AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER* 9, 1963 PAGE SIX
George Gardner . . .
Three Wins . . .
What do you think when your team has three wins to its credit
after playing as many games? We imagine that this question must
have passed through the mind of Ralph Jordan as he prepared
his charges for a home field engagement with Scrappy Moore's Moc­casins
from Chattanooga. But wait—we had better qualify that
statement: What do you think about when your team has a 3-0 re­cord
against major competition, yet has failed to play four conse­cutive
quarters of sound football?
We can't help but imagine, in fact, that this very question must
have passed through the minds of many of the 31,000 who watched
the Tigers spark and then sputter against Kentucky last Saturday.
Of course, we love for those Tigers to win—be the margin of victory
one point or 100 points. But, quite frankly, we nearly had a case of
heart failure Saturday.
Heart Failure . . . .
Our heart failure where we were sitting could have been fatal,
since we were perched high up in the pressbox. The facts speak
for themselves: Auburn has posted 58 points in three games, but their
opponents have tallied 46. That means, gentlemen, that the average
margin of victory has been 4 little points. One touchdown . . .
two field goals . . . a safety and some PATS . . . any of these
would win a game like we witnessed the other day.
Back during the spring, making his usual speaking engagements,
Coach Shug promised those never-satisfied critters called alumni
that "Auburn will have an exciting football team . . . and a
winning one." Personally, we could do without some of the excite­ment.
How about you? We doubt that Coach Jordan planned it
that way—three erratic, in-and-out, up-and-down,ball games.
Perhaps that lady known as Fate planned the Tennessee contest.
It's getting so that fans expect the Tigers to spot the Vols a couple
of TDs—just for kicks—and still come out on top. But what about
wins number two and three?
Warming Up
The Plainsmen will romp Saturday. The cards are stacked. You
can't get a team "up" for Chattanooga when they must visit Grant
Field the next week. But you can't afford to let them get too "down"
either. To wit, the 10-0 count of the Auburn-Nooga game a couple
of years ago. But they will romp—whether Scrappy Moore likes it or
not. Things will be tough at first. They always are when you face
a team that has everything to win, yet nothing to lose. Chattanooga
has some good ball players .. . in fact, they have a good team, ac­cording
to pre-season polls. But you just don't win with the cards
stacked against you . . . especially when Tigers are used in place
of jokers.
High And Long
Going into, the game against Kentucky, young Jon Kilgore was
leading the Southeastern Conference in punting. We haven't seen the
latest statistics at this writing, but with an average (which went
up last Saturday) of 49.2 yards per kick, it's a safe bet that he is
still leading the SEC.
It isn't much fun to see action on six or eight plays in a game
when your team runs over 50 plays from scrimmage. Especially
when you signed a scholarship with hopes of being a Tiger quarter­back.
Or it is? Jon Wilton Kilgore is one of the unsung heroes of all
three Tiger wins this fall. He is a hero with 11 plays on his record-some
of his teammates have had to play nearly the whole game
every time to be heroes.
Anyhow, the whole point is just this: thanks, Jon, for being the
best punter in the SEC. Just stay on the bench and keep kicking
on fourth down. (Well, maybe on third against Tech—but only Tech!!)
From the pressbox and after consulting with the proper authorities,
we say it like this:
£' * A
NEW FACES OF THE WEEK: While spotting for WBLG of
Lexington last Saturday, it seems as if we said "tackled by number
11" at least 50 times. Soph Bill Cody, playing in the gap at his line­backer
position, made many key plays. In the second half, when
Wildcat backs seemed to slip through the Tiger line at will, young
Cody was there to meet them head on. Our hat is off to a soph
quarterback who is also a fine linebacker.
* # *
PLAY OF THE WEEK: When Kentucky missed that field goal
attempt in the final stanza. With the tide (no, not crimson) of battle
turning as it was, we think that three points on the Wildcat side of
the score card could have ended the argument.
A few singles: Won't Woody ever miss a PAT? Yes, Joe Miracle
is out for about four weeks due to his knee injury suffered Saturday.
P. S. Tech's Billy Martin may be out next Saturday.

Tigers Play Host To Chattanooga
In Search Of Fourth Straight Win
Annual Band Day Festivities
Slated For Saturday's Game
By GERALD RUTBERG
With hopes of preserving their unbeaten status, the Au­burn
Tigers play h o s t to the University of Chattanooga
Moccasins this Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. (CST), at Cliff
Hare Stadium, in the annual Band Day fray.
Auburn aims for its fourth victory • in as many outings
against the pesky Moccasins, who
have given the Plainsmen some
anxious moments in past contests
although never having won. Sat­urday's
game is the 10th meet­ing
between the two universities,
with Auburn having won nine
times in the series which began
in 1926.
Led by junior quarterback Ron
Eihman, a sharpshooting passer,
the Moccasins also feature a pair
of standout guards and a top-notch
offensive and defensive
halfback. In seniors Larry Brooks
and Wayne Farmer, the Mocs
have two rock-ribbed interior
linemen who feature crisp block­ing
and adequate pass protection
for quarterback Eisman's pegs.
Defensively, they combine to
make inside yardage very diffi­cult
for any opponent.
Halfback Ron Whaley scored 80
points last season while snaring
26 passes good for 415 yards. He
holds the University of Chatta­nooga
record for passes caught in
one season, total yards receiving,
touchdown passes caught, and
passes intercepted. He has re­ceived
several offers to play pro­fessionally
and is a sure bet to
be drafted following the season.
Quarterback Eisman, brother of
a former Chattanooga great,
completed 75 passes l a s t year
good for 993 yards and 13 touch­downs.
His favorite receiver is
Whaley. They present a po­tent
combination. F u l l b a ck
George Hendley gives the Mocs
a solid running threat as well as
providing a source for a well-rounded
attack.
MAILON KENT
Coach A. C. (Scrappy) Moore
is in his 33rd season of coaching
and the Tennesseans use his thor­ough
knowledge of the game to
good advantage. This is one of
Coach Moore's more experienced
teams, with 21 lettermen return­ing
for the 1963 season.
Fresh from a hot and cold vic­tory
over Kentucky, the Auburn-
Coach Ralph Jordan calls "prob­ably
the best quarterback in our
country today on the collegiate
level," Jimmy Sidle. Sidle leads
the SEC in rushing and total of­fense.
He also ranks high nation­ally
in these departments. Last
Saturday, Jimmy played despite
influenza and a searing 103' de­gree
fever.
Five years ago the Moccasins
defeated the University of Ten­nessee,
and despite the lop-sided
margin in the Auburn series, they
have always played good football
with depth usually causing their
downfall. This problem may not
be as pressing Saturday for the
Moccasins—an experienced team
—and no doubt they will be look­ing
for their first victory over
the Tigers.
TOM BRYAN, quarterback for
the freshmen, will lead the Ti­ger
attack against the Bulldogs
when the frosh meet Mississippi
State in Starkeville next Mon­day.
In other games yet to be
played, the Auburn Freshmen
will tangle with Florida and
Alabama.
FOUR SQUADS CONTINUE UNBEATEN
IN SOUTHEASTERN CONFERENCE RACE
By ERNIE WARREN
After four weeks of comepti-tion,
four Southeastern Confer­ence
schools—Auburn, Alabama,
Ole Miss and Mississippi State re­main
undefeated with only Au­burn
a n d Alabama undefeated
and untied. Georgia Tech suffer­ed
the only real upset in a 7-6
loss to Louisiana State. Only
Vanderbilt and Tulane remain
winless.
67,500 screaming Bayou people
saw LSU stop Tech and 12 plays
later become the first team in
nine quarters to score en the en­gineers.
After their score the
Bengals permitted the favorites
only two field goals to win 7-6.
At the same time Alabama was
struggling to whip five touch­down
underdog Vanderbilt 21-7
in a game as close as the score
sounds. Home runs of 50 and 97
yards by halfback Benny Nelson
were the only things spectacular
in what the Tide thought would
be merely a "dress rehearsal."
The surprising Maroons of
Mississippi S t a t e man-handled
Tennessee for the first half- and
then held a 7-0 lead to hand the
Vols their second straight SEC
defeat.
In one of four intersectional
games Florida posted its first vic­tory
of t h e season by beating
Richmond 35-28, but only after
coming from behind a 10-0 lead
in the first quarter. Florida's de­fense
completely shut out Rich­mond's
running offense but team­wise
the Gators failed to endorse
their pre-season rave notices.
Ole Miss managed to score
twice in the second half to hand
Southwestern independent Hous-ites
will again be led by what ton its third defeat of the season.

Something New Every Day
Again, as in Kentucky, Missis­sippi
scored on aerial bombs from
QB Perry Lee Dunn. The 20-6
win gave the Rebs their second
victory against one tie.
In two other non-conference
bouts, Georgia had a surprisingly
easy time with South Carolina
and Tulane continued winless af­ter
a Friday night setback by the
Miami Hurricanes.
The Atlantic Coast Conference
suffered its second blow in pres­tige
by an SEC school when
Larry Rakestraw passed Georgia
to a 27-7 win over South Caro­lina.
Last week Georgia Tech
trounced Clemson, another ACC
favorite.
In Cliff Hare Stadium Auburn

Kentucky 14-13. The Ti­gers

Sidle Leading SEC
In Offensive Totals
Say Current Reports
Football statistics released by
the Athletic Department yester­day
reveal that Jimmy Sidle is
leading his team in at least three
statistical divisions.
Considered by Tiger fans as the
best quarterback in the SEC,
Sidle is leading the team is pass­ing,
rushing, and scoring. Carry­ing
the ball 57 times in three
games, Jimmy has gained 308
yards for an average of 5.4 yards
per play. He has completed 22 of
54 passing attempts for 250 yards,
thus giving him a total offensive
mark of 558 yards.
Not only is Sidle the leading
ground gainer for Auburn, but he
also leads the Southeastern Con­ference
in this department.
With three TD's good for 18
points, Sidle is closely followed
by George Rose with 12 points in
the scoring department. Rose is
the leading receiver on the squad
with eight catches good for 89
yards and two TD's.
Punting specialist Jon Kilgore
has booted the pigskin 11 times,
compiling an SEC-leading aver­age
of 49.2 yards per kick.
Defensive halfback Bill Edge is
the top pass interceptor for the
all-winning Plainsmen, with two
interceptions returned f o r 51
yards and one touchdown.
Thus far, the fast-starting Ti­gers
have scored 44 points in first
half play while managing but 14
after intermission.
the Wildcats well in hand, but a
61-yard touchdown p a s s gave
Kentucky inspiration a n d hope
with one minute left in the first
half. From then till the final
whistle the game was bitterly
fought. In the end, Auburn got
its third straight victory and its
second straight SEC win.

Davalos Assumes Post
As Basketball Coach
By SKIP MOORE
Renowned prep and college bas­ketball
playmaker, Rudy Davalos,
recently joined the Auburn Uni­versity
basketball coaching staff
and Physical Education Depart­ment.
A native of San Antonio, Texas,
Coach Davalos' duties at Auburn
include his position as head coach
of the freshman basketball team
and physical education class in­structor.
He also assists in the
scouting and recruiting of Ala­bama
prepsters.
Having been honored as a small
college All-American in his final
year of intercollegiate competition
of his college career, he partici­pated
in the National Industrial
Basketball League with the New
York Tuck Tapers. This is the
same professional circuit to which
the world famous Phillips 66 Oil­ers
belong.
Returning to school after a sea­son
of professional basketball,
Coach Davalos pursued and ob­tained
his Masters degree from
Georgetown College in George­town,
Kentucky. While at George­town,
he was a graduate assistant
on the coaching staff and worked
primarily on scouting and recruit­ing.
This past year found Davalos at
the University of Kentucky, where
once again his primary work was
in scouting and recruiting.
Playing several sports well,
Coach Davalos prefers tennis and
golf, although he maintains inter­est
in many other athletic activi­ties,
which serve to make him a
well-rounded sportsman.
With his wife, Ruth, the 25 year
old Davalos lives in the Forrest
Hills Apartments, where he does
his after-hours preparation for
the classes he instructs while also
studying for his Doctor's Degree.

Lineman Of The Week
Our No. 1 redshirt, Dixon, retained his lead again this week, and is now receiving ser­ious
consideration as Cinderella of the year. It's just that he doesn't even look like Cinderella.
Wilkinson made a valiant effort to escape the ce liar, while Phillips made just as valiant an ef­fort
to reach it. Why don't we pick the easy winners and have a fat average? Simple. We'd
rather pick the hard ones . . . and be wrong. It may be time to drop back and punt . . .

slot he may see action- at left half,
side back, or safety. He comes to
play and room will be found for
him somewhere.
Another freshman back of
whom great things are expected
is Billy Beck. Since Auburn's
opening game l o s s to Florida,
Beck has shown so much im­provement
in practice sessions
that he is now being ticketed for
heavy d u t y against Mississippi
State.
Coach Dooley expects a rough
game from State. The Starkville
school has one of the best fresh­man
teams in its football history
this year, as was evident last
week when the Maroons downed
Alabama 10-6.

TACKLE JOHN McAFEE, playing the third game of his var­sity
career, had an outstanding day against Kentucky last week.
He handled his defensive assignments especially well, according to
Coach George Atkins. "John had his best day yet—and we are ex­pecting
even better things of him as the season goes on", stated
Coach Atkins. McAfee had very good point of attack blocking and
recovered a Jimmy Sidle fumble in the crucial stages of the
game. John also has attained fame in the ring, winning the SEIWA
heavyweight championship last winter.

of Homer's men.
Read a b o u t Alexander the
Great in Plutarch's (Lives. When
his officers brought him a very
precious casket seized among
other booty from the defeated
King Darius, he asked those
about him what t h e y thought
fittest to be laid up in it. When
they had delivered their various
opinions, he told them he should
keep Homer's Iliad in it.
And what is the Raid? It and
the Odyssey are ancient Greek
narrative poems, the first as well
as the greatest epics of our civi­lization,
and two exciting stories.
Every time we refer to a siren
or to Achilles' heel or compare a
lovely woman to Helen of Troy
we are borrowing f r o m these
poems of three thousand years
ago.
There is, in the classics, none
of the morbid, diseased and
maudlin we come upon in much
of today's literature, called by
Joseph Wood Krutch, writer and
professor of dramatic literature,
"among the most unhappy which
the w h o l e art of imaginative
writing has ever produced." The
bookstands carry books in which
pathology has usurped the place
of art, and the writer has become
a specialist in diseases of t h e
nerves, filling his pages with-people
who are unhappy, blun­dering
and defeated.
WATER SHOW DIRECTOR of the Dolphin Club, Cole Roberts,
is shown practicing with Gail Candler, 1963 director. Tryouts
will be held Monday night at Alumni Gym at 6:30. All interested
persons should attend.
