THE AUBURN PUUNSTVUN To Foster The Auburn Spirit VOLUME 91 AUBURN UNIVERSITY AUBURN, ALA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1964 8 Pages NUMBER 14 Peace Corps Concept Added To ACOIA Slate The agreement of Dr. J. Norman Parmer, director of the division of university, private and international cooperation of the Peace Corps, to address the Auburn Conference on International Affairs (ACOIA) culminated a busy week of activity for the conference committee. Parmer will address the conference on the Peace Corps as a new concept in foreign aid. Chairman Ned Pierce stated that letters of invitation to delegates from other universities . are ready to be mailed. The conference is expecting a minimum of 200 visiting delegates, according to Pierce. The ACOIA chairman also noted that contacts have been made with representatives of the Indian and Israeli governments. He stated that experts from these countries would be of special importance to the conference theme of foreign aid. Israel was a former recipient of foreign aid. It is one of few countries which h as asked for U.S. aid to be stopped after assisting the country in accomplishing certain specific objectives. India is one of the largest recipients of U.S. assistance. Dr. J. Norman Parmer is a history specialist in the area of Southeast Asia. He has also studied in the field of economics. Parmer received his B.A. degree from Indiana Univer. $282,000 In Grants Given To Auburn Federal grants totaling over $282,000 will go to various Auburn research programs, according to an announcement by President Ralph B. Dratighon. Included is $176,850 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for pre-doctoral space related science training programs, approximately $80,- 000 from the National Institutes of Health for five new research grants, $15,750 for a college teacher research participating program under the National Science Foundation and another $9,530 from the Foundation to support a summer science training program for secondary school students. NASA GRANT The grant from NASA will enable 10 trainees to receive stipends over a three-year period in any of 10 departments eligible to participate at the doctoral level, according to Dean W. V. Parker of the Graduate School which administers the program. A similar group is now in the first year of pre-doctoral training under the program. Departments eligible to participate in the NASA program are agricultural engineering, (See page 2, column 6) sity, his M.A. from the Univer. sity of Connecticut, and h i s Ph.D. degree from Cornell University. He is considered by many to be one of the Peace Corps' top three officials. Parmer has lived and worked in Malaya for about four years out of the last 10. He has written books and articles on Malaya. Dr. Parmer returned from Malaya last February after having served as the Peace Corps representative in that country. His regular position, from which he is on leave, is professor of history at Northern Illinois University. ACOIA officials s t r e s s ed Parmer's importance to the conference as a representative of person to person communication as a factor in foreign aid. An ACOIA spokesman said that Parmer is expected to illustrate the effectiveness of the Peace Corps as a deterrent to similar person to per-s o n propaganda techniques used by communist countries. Parmer is the third foreign aid expert that the ACOIA committee has obtained for the conference. Previous signees are Eleanor Lansing Dulles and Ambassador Walter C. Dowling. C h a i r m a n Pierce stated that ,three more foreign aid experts are to be signed and announced in the near future.

Polio Vaccination Set For Thursday By JIMMY STEPHENS The second of three Sabin oral polio vaccines will be distributed on the campus tomorrow free of charge. The drive is sponsored by the Lee County Medical Association as part of the national campaign to eliminate polio as a crippling disease. There will be no charge for the vaccine, but donations of 25 cents will be asked to help defray expenses of the campaign. The second dosage gives immunization against type three polio, the - secon,d.. mast preya« lent variety.'' The tftfee oVal vaccines give complete immunization to polio with no necessity for boosters in the future. According to Medical Association officials all three oral vaccines are necessary for com. p 1 e t e immunization, even though Salk injections may have been taken in the past. Drew Ragan, leader of the campus drive, stated that he encourages those who have not had the first type of vaccine or who took it some place other than on the campus last quarter to take the second dosage here tomorrow. The order or time intervals between the three vaccines is of little importance, according to Ragan. Immunization stations will Instructor Named Dean's Assistant Haniel Jones has been named assistant to the dean of the School of Engineering to succeed James D.

Vernon Loyd, president of t h e local Young Democrats, points out that a student must pay his poll tax by Feb. 1, if he wishes to vote this presidential election year in Alabama. Everyone must pay poll tax except veterans with service prior to 1955 or National Guardsmen. The tax may be paid at the tax collector's office in the student's county according to Loyd. It may be paid by mail or a friend or parent at home may pay it for you. The Young Democrats also points out that every person over 21 must register to be able to vote. To register one must apply in person to the Board of Registrars in his home county. All boards meet the first and third Mondays in each county in Alabama. During January, the boards meet 10 days. The student may register after Feb. 1 to vote in the May Primaries, the Young Democrats say, but poll tax must be paid by Feb. 1 to be able to vote this year. Poll tax is $1.50 per year.

Franklin spent the past week-end in Montgomery with his family. Early last week Franklin substituted a course on U. S. political parties under Assoc. Prof. Edward C. Williamson for a course in the history of Russia taught by Prof. O. T. Ivey. Franklin is also taking history of England and U. S. domestic policy to 1865. He had been advised at the time of r e gistration that this schedule of courses would be more suitable, but he did not make the change until the add and drop period. 2—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, January 15, 1964 "Integrity, fairness and a thorough education are the three critical characteristics of an engineer." Dr. N. W. Dougherty, dean emeritus of engineering at the University of Tennessee and one of the fathers of engineering professionalism, gave this key to Auburn engineers in a recent talk. In his lifetime, Dr. Dougherty said, the traditional man in khaki has become the professional furnishing ideas to government, industry and education, doubling the number of Ph.D.s in his ranks yearly. "The engineer is a composite," according to Dean Dougherty. "He applies all fields to engineering—mathematics, the humanities, law, philosophy. Ideas and design are the typical products of an engineer, cuting across all levels of civilization." DISSATISFIED D e a n Dougherty further pointed out that studies have shown that the engineer is the most dissatisfied of all employed by industry. However, this is not a lack of happiness in his job. It is a dissatisfaction with the state of the art. He must always improve existing knowledge. Dean Dougherty explained that this is "the real business of the engineer." George Westinghouse is one of the three outstanding engineers named by Dean Dougherty. One of Dougherty's former the return of the penny moc BRISTOL History sometimes makes mis* takes.

Articles are reprinted by permission from the Royal B a n k of Canada Monthly Letter. MORE DISAGREEMENTS between people and between nations can be traced to misunderstanding than to any other cause. The bitterest conflicts within families and within offices and workshops have not been waged for great ideals, but for one opinion against another. If, as has been said, life may be defined as the continuous adjustment of internal relations to external relations, then here is an area where we may contribute greatly to our peace of mind. Adaptation implies tolerance. Intolerant people have a limited outlook in an age which demands that we take wide views. Their intolerance shows itself in many ways, from simple withdrawal from society to "Hate-gnarled features, twisted by passions as old as mankind," as a newspaper reported a race riot in the United States. The argument against intolerance is not only a moral argument, but rests solidly upon two single considerations: (1) it is not humanly possible to know all the facts, or even all of any one fact; (2) we live in a tense age in which the overmastering need is to accept the rights, duties and privileges of individuals regardless of tfteir f a m i l y, church, political and national background and environment. Open-mindedness A closed mind is merely a machine, automatically churning over and over again the little that is in it, believing always whatever it now believes. It is prone to exclude, whether neighbors from a country club or books from the library. The open-minded person has a question which he asks regularly in order to prevent misunderstandings: "How d o es this look f r o m where he stands?" It applies to members of his family, to a neighbor, to those who live in another city or province, and to those whose homes are at the far ends of the earth. When you look at the spectrum you see the colors/ from violet to red, side by side but shading into one another with no boundaries to indicate, precisely where one color ends Jump Out The Window-Please! Then Well Walk Toward Funchess By DIANE SNODDY . " J u m p out t h e window if you want to; i t 's your blood, not mine." And the English instructor talked on. However, to one of the class members this was not s t a n d a r d teaching procedure. It was, instead, a shock— one of many received by 13 Auburn High School Seniors who spent a day on cam pus Monday. The girls, all members of Future Teachers of America, were here as guests of the Student Education Association and the School of Education. The program was sponsored in an attempt to familiarize future teachers with college requirements in their curricula. Familiarization c e r t a i n ly took place as the girls were led around a n d introduced to everything.ifrom Davjtrto to the Womens Dining Hall. On Dr. Ivey, "He's inspiring." On the Dining Hall, "Let's eat in the Union Building." There were other comments, too. Some were really enthusiastic about the education courses which they attended; others thought them boring but "probably necessary." Asked for examples of the "probably necessary" classes, they replied, "the ones that teach you how to print well." And an explanation, "That's important for an elementary teacher to know." One young lady Hyasfiate in meeting the others for lunch. In explanation, she panted, "Have you ever walked to Funchess?" There was- a reply, "Yes, all the way from Broun." 3—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, January 15, 1964 stitched and striped costume wrapped with cord. And what a neat package! One piece dress with striped top picked up in the lining of its brief jacket. Jacket and skirt, acetate and cotton denim in blue, red or charcoal; top and lining in matching woven stripe cotton. Park ZKO and another begins. That is the way to look at people, too. There is no such thing as a life that is all black or all white, all indigo, blue, green, yellow or orange, although one or another will predominate at one time or one place. The Athenians gave us the first example of the explicit recognition of the importance of social tolerance. They had minds open to new ideas and thoughts. We recall that on his journey up and down the coast of Asia Minor Saint Paul was mobbed and imprisoned and ridiculed and beaten, but when he came to Athens t h ey brought h i m to Mars' Hill, their highest court, and said: "May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speak-est, is?" Open-mindness is not emp-ty- headedness. It m'eans having a desire to learn as well as having freedom from prejudice, partisanship and other mind-closing habits. If you have an open mind you are not content to uncover errors: you go a step farther in an attempt to establish true opinion to take their place. And when you come upon something excellent you like it, no matter whose it is. Some causes of misunderstanding It will help us to avoid misunderstandings if we know some of their causes. There are m a n y sparks which s e t misunderstanding ablaze, and since they are of about equally frequent occurrence there is no better order in which to mention them than alphabetically from anger to pride. Trader Horn, the e a r t hy philosopher in Mrs. Lewis's story, said: "There's nothing brings us closer akin to the apes than the tantrums we get into." When we lose our tempers we offer humiliating spectacles, with dignity, common sense and justice thrown out the window. The causes of anger may be brought under two headings: fear and mortification. When someone lets us down at work or in society the emotion of anger arises"'instinctively. We fear -the outcome of the1 pier-son's blunder or' w e ' are' humiliated because he did that to us. We get so worked up that like Aase, one of the characters in Ibsen's Peer Gynt we "could make a meal of flints." Then, forgetting that it is our reaction, and not the affront, which counts, we lose control of the situation. We write a snarling letter or speak a growling word. Our emotion, without the curb of our brains to guide it, leads headlong into a major misunderstanding. We need to recognize the fact that we have control only over our own reactions. In our daily contacts with people we are like the lowly amoeba, unable to push others around but only to withdraw or flow past them. This1 is why the man who seeks to avoid misunderstanding flies into a* great calm instead of into a great rage. His calmness offers nothing ,that another can grasp; it disarms his opponent; it heightens his own stature. A man is as big as the things that make him mad. It is said that Sir Lancelot had several sizes of spear, and would call for his Great Spear or his Lesser Spear as occasion demanded. It is wise, in our own interests, to err on the side of gentleness. Anxiety is a frequent cause of misunderstanding. It results from the clash of desire and fear.

McMillan Auburn's Drum And Bugle Corps Performs Unique Campus Service By GARY WINSETT Two years ago, the Auburn ROTC Drum and Bugle Corps consisted of a lone snare drummer. Today it has developed into a tri-service 18-member band which performs a unique service on campus. Army Lt. Col. G. H. Shu-mard, the officer in charge, said before the Drum and Bugle Corps was formed, band music was available during ROTC drill periods on special occasions. Recognizing the need for a drum beat during drill periods, ROTC cadet LeDell Pearson volunteered his services as a snare drummer in the fall quarter of 1961. During the same quarter, the group borrowed a bass drum from the Navy ROTC department and added a bass drummer. Winter Quarter Shows Enrollment Increase By MARY WHITLEY A total of 9391 students are enrolled in Auburn for winter quarter, according to Registrar Charles Edwards. This total represents an increase of 856 students over winter quarter, 1963. The figures include 8879 on-campus students, while 512 of the total are enrolled in the teacher and field-lab courses. Edwards attributed the high winter quarter enrollment to the fewer scholastic failures among freshmen, due to higher admission standards recently put into effect.

WANDA MARTIN JOY MEYER v ROTC officials immediately made plans to increase ,the number of drummers and to add buglers. The band continued to grow. By the spring of 1963 the band numbered 17 members including cadets from all three branches of ROTC. During the summer quarter of 1963, the Corps suffered a loss of personnel but was back to full strength with 17 members during the past fall quarter. The band now has 18 members including drummers, buglers, a baritone horn player and a cymbalist. Plans are to increase the band to 24 cadets and to add clarinets. According to Colonel Shu-mard the members provide their services on a voluntary basis. The Drum and Bugle Corps has the same status as drili teams and the Army's counter-guerilla warfare unit. This allows cadets to fulfill their leadership laboratory requirement by .participating in the Drum and Bugle Corps. They are authorized distinctive uniform accessories. Colonel Shumard said the general improvement of drill due to the band is very obvious.' He had high praise for the band members, who are the first cadets on the drill field and the last ones to leave. The Corps, which is generally for basic cadets, takes part in all parades. They performed in the Auburn Christmas Parade last year. Commander of the group is cadet corporal Glenn Sylvest. By WALTER MASSEY The words "Pulitzer Prize," when used to describe a scholarly work lend it such a sweet-sounding authority that further description is hardly needed. Research Prof. Malcolm C. McMillan of the history department currently has his recently published Alabama Confederate Reader under nomination as the best historical work for this year 1963. One may rest assured that his "fingers are crossed" in awaiting the decision of the Pulitzer Prize judging committee. Professor McMillan's outstanding work in Alabama and Southern History has, in fact, already won him considerable recognition. He is presently a recipient, of a grant from the Gugginheim Foundation for research.— only 15 historians in the international competition were similarly honored. Professor McMillan was born in Stockton, Ala., Aug. 22, 1910. He finished high school at Baldwin County High School in 1928 and then attended Southwestern College at Memphis for two years. He transferred to the University where he earned his A.B. and M.A. degrees. After teaching history in public and preparatory schools for six years, he continued his education at the University of North Carolina. His dissertation for the Doc-troate, (Constitutional Development in Alabama: a Study in Politics, the Negro and Sectionalism, 1798-1901); published by the University of North Carolina press, was a virtual sellout. EVALUATION In evaluating the Auburn history department, Professor McMillan stressed the quality of instruction in the areas of Southern and American history, but admitted that European history is weak because of a shortage of Continental historians. He said political science also needs to be strengthened. One of the drawbacks, according to Dr. McMillan, of. the course in American History, HY107, which many students are required to take, is that it attempts to deal with such a vast amount of material in such a short time. There is little time for the personalities in American History to be vividly drawn. Historical treatment is so factual that students generate a distaste for history, he says. Additionally, Professor McMillan contends students want to know a concrete answer or fact, instead of realizing that history often leaves room for interpretation. VAST FIELD . History, itself, Professor McMillan continues, is not an exact science. It is invaluable, however, in analyzing that which has happened in order to facilitate man's adaptation to the present. History has greatly changed over the centuries, according to Professor McMillan. Modern history has its foothold in the civilization of the ancient Greeks, he says. The Greeks were interested in recording the QUIPS "ES By SALLY QUILLIAN BLUE BOOK The Interfrater'nity Council at the University of Pittsburgh plans to publish a course evaluation booklet. Booklets of this type are in print at a number of ivy league schools already and contain a critical analysis of each subject and respective teacher, giving specific ratings to the value of the course and competence of the instructor. At some schools the student government sponsors this item, "informative to the student and challenging to the teacher."

DISCOUNTS The student senate at Emory University has a committee called the Student Discount Committee which will soon set up a discount service for Emory students with stores in the area. Such a service helps the merchants increase their sales as well as benefits the students. Merchants receive free advertising in a phamplet listing the stores which subscribe to the service. Included would be service stations, dry cleaners, flor-. ists, clothing and jewelry stores, restaurants, and barber shops, (from The Emory Wheel) PLAYBOY Subscription & Calendars Michael G.

In the interlude between the Greek civilization and that as we know it today, history has dealt with rulers and later politicians, but only recently has history begun to deal with the total of the civilization and culture at hand, says Dr. McMillan. Scientific objectivity can never replace the subjectivity that allows man to rise above a situation by knowing that man in the past has been required to face a similar problem and has successfully surmounted it.

Greek Week Friday night initiates an anual affair known about the campus as Greek Week. It is a week of fun, frolic and seriousness for campus Greeks. We think that it is a good time to survey Auburn's fraternity system. Generally speaking,.it is our belief that fraternities and sororities have made a lot of progress in the last year. Greeks are finally beginning to notice their powerful critics. They are not, however, taking a defeatist attitude. There is some good and some bad in any large system. Auburn Greeks are obviously realizing this fact and are taking steps to rid themselves of their bad points. We have heard of several instances in which individual fraternities have voluntarily ceased undue physical harassment of pledges and initiates. This has been one of the strongest points for criticism. We think that the fraternity system is wise in discarding its intangibles as public defenses. Communication with other people must be based upon the tangible. No amount of talk about the brotherhood or sisterhood "that only \ we can .know, and enjoy" will make„ Greekdom acceptable to other minds. We feel that Auburn fraternities and sororities are realizing their responsibilities to the social, physical, and academic welfare of the university. Greek grades have improved. They are contributing physically and financially to community and university projects. We shall never say that a fraternity or sorority is a vital need of every college student. It is not. The fraternity can however offer tangible benefits to those who are desirous of membership in such groups. It is our belief that this must be the real purpose of Greek Week. This is a time when each fraternity and sorority should evaluate itself. Each organization must carefully analyze its inner workings and its relationships with the outside world. The good must be maintained. The bad must be recognized and abolished. We believe that Auburn fraternities and sororities are headed in this direction. If such be the case, the Greek future should be bright and Greek Week should be deserving of meritorious notice by all., . „. 'The Education Congress' President Johnson has seen fit to label the 88th Congress of the United States "the education congress." While we think it admirable and politically sound that Mr. Johnson has found a way to cast meritorious recognition upon our esteemed legislative branch, we do not think that education owes very much to the 88th Congress. It is quite true that the multimillion dollar construction bill of 1963 will be of some benefit to institutions of higher learning. The fact remains, however, that this bill is not nearly so significant to education as the GI Bill or the National Defense Education Act of which Alabama Representative Carl Elliott is the co-author. There is also the additional fact that the support granted to education by the 88th Congress is lower percentagewise than government aid to education for the academic year 1952-53. To some minds, decreasing federal assistance to education is a cause for rejoicing. We accept this premise in theory. Education's needs can likely best be served by local and state support. In some cases, this principle has worked successfully. These cases have unfortunately been few. One educator noted recently that the entire outlay of the construction bill passed by the 88th Congress could not provide the states of Alabama and Georgia with a "good" school system. The term "good" referred to standards in education now maintained by the states of California and New York. Incumbent congressmen seeking reelection should get a lot of mileage out of the President's statement. Education forces, on the other hand, don't have much to look forward to if the 88th was indeed "the education congress." A Touching Story We had the unfortunate experience this week to receive a phone call from a "lady in distress." It seems that this woman's billfold had somehow been stolen. Yes, we know that it happens every day. This was one of those stories, however, that had the human element designated by biblical scholars as capable of moving mountains. The young lady, a secretary on the campus, is working to put her husband through school. Our subject matter, the bright red billfold, contained seventy dollars to be used for this .purpose. This paltry sum was the result of many long hours spent typing a thesis for pay. Now there's no money. Even the lady's identification is gone. It is a common story, a much too common one. Life's hopes and aspirations are too precious to be dashed to the ground by the hand of a thief. We are very sad that such "trivial incidents" can cause such big woes to our fellow man. We are even more disillusioned that the causes for such sorrow abound in our midst. Tobacco Substitute? It seems that a great many of us are destined to die of lung cancer. The government report on smoking is serious business, but we doubt that it will cause any great degree of consternation among college smokers. There are too many of us who are unwilling to become nervous wrecks by giving up the habit. Don't, however, resign yourself to lung cancer. Researchers tell us that there is still hope. UK ijflaff*...--. m. tcame- Introspectives . . . Panama Wants Justice, A Canal; How Can We Deny Her This? By Bobby Boettcher Experiments with vegetable leaves as replacements for tobacco are now being conducted in a New York laboratory. Through various and sundry conglomerations of vegetation and artificial flavorings, a synthetic is in sight. The only remaining task is for the scientists to come up with a tobaccolike aroma. Can you imagine walking into a drugstore and asking for a pack of menthol lettuce leaves? What is happening now in Panama was inevitable. Panama, taking note of the steady relinquishing of colonial holdings by world powers is asking to have the canal for its own—or at least that the United States leave. And because for years we have quelled tacitly any intimation of this sort of situation in Panama, we now find ourselves bare-faced with no more presence of mind than to yell desperately, "protect our interests" and "communist subversion." Seemingly, we are unable to view the dilemma objectively. We were caught unprepared and without a solution except to caU out the Marines and scream slogans. The newspapers tell us that there is no alternative to possession of the Canal; yet, the United States has realized for several years that the Canal will be incapable of handling increased traffic in the future, and has considered the possibility of building a new canal at another site in Central America. Sen. Karl Mundt would have us turn loose our 10,000 troops in the Canal Zone on the Panamanian populace as a "show of strength." Sen. Richard Russell warns that we must not allow the Canal Zone to fall into the hands of "Castro supporters and subversives." Indeed, we must not; but are we to define "Castro supporters and subversives" in Panama as everything and everybody except the good ole USA? Undersecretary of S t a te George Ball reports that the rioting in Panama showed evidence of communist exploitation, but not communist instigation. The uprising was inspired by nationalist feeling such as that expressed by Panamanian President Chiari, when he promised "to obtain justice for Panama once and for all." If t h e United States speaks through threats and military might, it will run the risk of leaving Panamanian nationalism with nowhere to turn but to the exploitation of communism. , Will the United States, which opposed old friends Britain and France in supporting Egypt's 1956 nationalization of the Suez Canal, now try to perpetuate its control and "interest" in Panama by quoting old treaties which it forced upon the Republic of Panama? If so, we shall find ourselves groping for defense against charges of international double-dealing, and our racial double standard here at home, for which we know there is no defense. For at least two years, a war of nerves has been waging in Panama. It came to a climax last Thursday when some American high school students raised an American flag in front of their school in defiance of a recent U.S.-Panama agreement that the flags of the two countries would be flown together. The fighting which broke out as Panamanian students tried to raise their flag at the school furnished the spark for nationwide anti-U.S. demonstrations and riots. The ensuing destruction of American and Panamanian life and property was appalling. The incidents of last toeek are not just a result of two years of seething discontent, but of 60 years of U.S. domination, the benevolence and benefits of which often have been offset by dubious American motives and methods. The Republic of Panama itself was created by the United States government, which tormented a revolution in 1904 against Colombia—of which Panama was a territory at that time—mainly because Colombia asked more money for US rights to canal construction than President Theodore Roosevelt was willing to pay. After the Republic was established, it became an instrument of the "dollar diplomacy" of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft, in making the Caribbean Sea 'an American lake." Today the United States pays Panama only 1.9 million dollars annually for perpetual occupancy of the Canal Zone. American citizens in the Canal Zone receive privileged status, including higher pay, special food, and special recreational facilities—somewhat reminicent of the old British gentleman drinking his gin and tonic at "the club," unconcernedly overlooking the slums of Calcutta or Bombay in Rudyard Kipling's time. Merely allowing the Panamanians to fly their own flag is not enough to placate them, and justifiably so. Somewhere between the present arrangement and communist takeover, there lies an area where a solution to the problem can be found. Perhaps an international management of the Canal would be feasible: one in keeping with the first Hay-Paunce-fote Treaty of 1900 between the United States and Great Britain. This treaty specified that the Canal be open to all nations in peace and war, and guaranteed against political influence and territorial encroachments in Central America. Saber rattling and narrow self-interest do not provide solutions; they only invite disaster for even a well-meaning United States.

Can The U.S. Quell Communism Without Offensive Cuban Policies? snintiimniijrannnniiinnnimnitiiiiiiniiHHniiiimiiiiimiiiinnmtinirainro! kn Editors By George McMillan, Jr. There is only one power which can stop the spread of communism f r o m Cuba and that power is the United States. The U.S., however, cannot stop the Communist advance until it stops being more concerned about peace and mere existence than it is about its moral duty to support freedom. At present, the United States has no serious policy of any kind toward Cuba. The haphazard combination of air and sea surveillance plus halfhearted economic sanctions plus training of minor exile units plus occasional pin-pricking raids is in no wise a serious- policy. In fact these activities have not only failed to weaken Castro's regime, but in most instances have served to strengthen it. Cuba continues to develop as a center for Latin American revolutionary operations while we infuriate our allies and neutrals, by being a Castro whipping post. If we were going to get rid of Castro for now and forever, all well and good, as they see it. But if we are just playing around, what ,right do we have to tell them what credits their banks may give or what cargo their ships may carry? "After all, we sell wheat to Russia. Misconceptions about Cuba are current in this country, a m o n g anti-communists as well as "co-existers." The Cuban economy is- in bad shape and many Cubans are hungry; however, it does not follow that Castro is on the brink of collapsing. On t h e contrary, his regime is rapidly becoming firmly entrenched. Its armed forces - are well-equipped and formidable, and have been getting first class training. Cuban leadership has had several years to perfect defensive strategy and tactics suited to their locale and to prepare the revolutionary offensive that is being directed throughout the Caribbean basin. Castro and his henchmen are not going to collapse because of their own weight nor from external half-measures. T he potential unrest is present, but it will not open into active rebelliousness without a real prospect of success — particularly with the Bay of Pigs slaughter, quite fresh on the Cuban's minds. Castro's regime is shaky a n d might crumble fast once it started, but a push will be needed too big for .anything short of U.S. pow;er to propel. ThWty-S. doesn't necessarily have to make an all-out invasion of Cuha Milder forms are still available, such as the motions of a nominally exile landing, declaration of new government- which requests aid, recognition by Washington and immediate response to request. Recent OAS demands for action tq get rid of Castro add another. bright prospect—that of joint action between t he U;S. and a number of the Caribbean countries. How this problem is solved is of b u t secondary importance; the crux of the matter is to eliminate Castro and his regime through quick decisive action. When that is done, the results will be accepted. And the idea that the action—if done with speed and skill— will project into nuclear war is outrageous. Khrushchev w i ll not sacrifice Moscow for Havana. As the noted columnist James Burnham has said, "There is no solution for the Cuban problem other than the ousting of the communist regime. The evidence shows that we cannot stabilize a coexisting situation. The continuation of the regime progressively undermines our strategic arid political situation within this hemisphere and our global prestige a n d influence." Wholesale Education . . \ The Tiger Of Ignorance Must fad; Should He Be Killed-Or Trapped? By John Dixon "Unless opportunity for education beyond the high school can be made available to all . . . then the American promise of individual dignity and freedom cannot be extended to all." This statement appears in a report issued last week by the Educational Policies Commission of t h e National Educational Association. Further on in its report t h e commission specifically states that it believes that the concept of free universal education should be extended to at least a hypothetical fourteenth grade. The result? Each person would be entitled to two years of college— without a n y personal expense involved. The EPC proposal recommends that this two-year program be aimed at a liberal arts curriculum. Undoubtedly this idea stems from the concept that more training in "thinking" is involved. They maintain that technical knowledge of "almost any specific skill is apt to become obsolescent.'* Reaction to their report is varied. In the current issue of Newsweek is the statement by a school superintendent in Long Island: "The problems are n o t insuperable. Such a system would ease the pressure on the colleges and also on a labor market that is already glutted with this a ge group. True, the EPC suggestion doesn't solve the problems of high-school dropouts, but you have to match that against the increased productivity we would get out of the ones that do go on." Opponents 6f the EPC proposal, as Newsweek relates, consider it "Utopian in an era when 35 per cent of American youth fail to finish high school." This writer is forced to agree at least in part with the latter group, who feel perhaps that the proposal is too radical and too wide-sweeping. The intent of the committee is indeed laudable: to upgrade the general level of education for the average citizen, a nd thereby solve a multitude of problems such as the increasing n u m b e r s of unskilled workers so detrimental to the labor pool. On the surface their solution might seem plausible, at least to the extent that this "educational level" w o u ld probably be raised slightly. Unfortunately, t h e i r program would involve astronomic expense in providing sufficient classrooms and instructors. The question must be raised: can these funds be put to a better use and still begin to raise the quality of the education offered at no cost to non-college students? Although the idea of Federal aid to education is undesirable to many, only a few will deny the benefits which could be derived if this money were applied to upgrading school facilities, raising teacher salaries riot to mention the possibility of increasing the number of Federal scholarships available to highly-qualified high school graduates. Such a program would boost the quality of nor-riial 12-year high school cur-riculums so that more could be offered to serious students who could have the | goal in mind of Federal assistance for their ventures into higher education. Also the better-qualified teachers who could be attracted by higher salaries very possibly might instill in the not so serious student a desire to continue his education, and consequently lower the current 35 per cent drop-out rate. It seems that the Educational Policies Commission of the National Education Association is trying to kill a tiger with a block-buster. Why shouldn't they re-examine their solution and then try trapping him simply with the tested net. BILLFOLD STOLEN been stolen from Mrs. Joyce Brlttain. The identification and personal papers contained in it A billfold containing $70 has are badly needed, and may be left ajt the Union Desk or returned by mail, no questions asked. Vil ews | By HARRY WILKINSON A little note arrived in the mail the other day which evoked the dissimilar responses of admiration and amusement from t h is corner. The note was a statement by Mr. J o hn G r e n i e r, titular head of Alabama R epublicans, that the talk and opinion polls i n d i-cating the p o l i t i c a l death of Sen. Barry Goldwater were nonsense. Grenier noted that the Junior Senator from Arizona was the people's "cherce" and would by popular acclamation or revival become the thirty-seventh president of the United States. The Odds Against . . . Even with all the political odds stacked against him, there was no other statement Grenier could possibly make. The story is a long and interesting one. Some months ago, and in spite of the warnings flashed by old-line republicans in Alabama, Grenier became the leading voice of what is known as the "Draft Goldwater Committee." It was by this action that Alabama Republicans became tied to the coattails of one man. Things rocked along smoothly for awhile. Despite such things as Goldwater's open support of the "March on Washington," Alabama republicans were fairly sucessful in endearing the senator to some segregationist forces in the state. And then President Kennedy was assasinated. The picture changed rapidly. In the first place, both Gold-water and President Johnson are from the Southwest. Many moons have passed since both parties^have nominated men, from the same section of the, fioud^rj;- ^PfograprJidally speak-" ing, Jdh5s8n is a. Southerner. One has to go back to the times* of Andrew Jackson to find an-, other man from this locale re-; siding in the big house on Pennsylvania Ave. Although these factors are politically relevant, they are not the primary bases upon which many forecasters are spelling doom for Goldwater's political aspirations. The essence of the situation may be derived from the fact that Goldwater's support lies where the votes aren't. One editor has noted that William Jennings B r y a n tried unsuccessfully three times to win the presidency with support from the Southern, desert, and mountain states. Herein lies the foundation of Senator Goldwater's claim to fame. State By State . . I If by any chance Goldwater should become the Republican nominee and carry Alabama, Georgia, Louisana; Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Maryland, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,. New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont; he still would not become President of the United States. These states constitute only 212 of the 270 electoral votes required for election. It is virtually inconceivable that Sen. Goldwater could carry all of these states. It is even more inconceivable that he could carry all of these states and others. Do not belittle the "prophets of doom" Mr. Grenier. History is on their side. It's a shame that John Grenier has built the 1964 success of Alabama's Republican Party on one man, but his courage is admirable. He is fighting the good fight to the very end. No one knows better than Mr. Grenier that there is no reward for the supporters of political losers. .. ( Sen. Goldwater isn't down for the count, but he's staggering on the ropes. State republicans are staggering with him. And as senior republicans in the state tried to tell Mr. Grenier, managers aren't supposed to get hit. { \ Fraternity Jewelry Salesman Relates History Of Pin Sales By SALLY QUILLIAN The Greek sorority or fraternity pin is a small but valuable item often acquired at college and prized forever. Each year over one thousand Auburn students order one of these items. An interview with E. B. Benson, Balfour representative for the past 46 years and official jewelry representative at Auburn for nine years, reveals the following trends and facts about t h e selection of pins by members of Greek organizations on campus. At Auburn, with 12 sororities and 25 fraternities, there are nine diamond-shaped pins, four shield-shaped, six with overlaid Greek letters, three crosses, and 15 others ranging from the shape of a heart- to Aladdin's lamp. Although the shape of the pin does not vary within any group, each member must individually decide on size, individual stones, color of gold, price to pay, and type of guard if purchased. PRICES Prices of pins range from badges at $5.50 to the most expensive pins for $250.00. The average amount spent at Auburn (not including the price of the guard) is around $35.00. However, many pins are sold in the price range of $75.00 to $100.00. More and more all-diamond pins are sold each year. These range in price from $175.00 to $250.00. In sales, white gold pins are more popular and more expensive. The difference between white and yellow gold is that all white gold is sold in 14 K and yellow gold comes in either 10 or 12 K. In certain organizations only yellow gold is permitted. STONES The jewels most frequently used today are pearls or some combination of pearls with other stones. The next most popularly used stone combinations are the sapphire in all sapphire pins, and third a combination of sapphires and diamonds. After these combinations, the most popular jewels are emeralds and opals. The popularity of stones is changing.

Boys tend to select more colorful combinations t h an girls who are content with conservative and less brilliant stones. Mr. Benson finds that one of his biggest jobs is helping a boy find the stone combination that he likes without using gaudy or clashing stones together. Relatively new in popularity are white sapphires. However, only eight groups on campus are allowed to use them because of national restrictions. The stone closely resembles the diamond to inexpert eyes, but lacks the diamond's color, brightness, and quality. Because some national headquarters feel that these s t o n e s "imitate" diamonds, their use is curbed. Stones not available in fraternity jewelry are topaz, amethyst, turquoise, and light blue sapphire. The first three of these are not used because they lack brilliance and therefore do not stand out enough, but the light blue sapphire is not used because of its inavail-ability on the market. LIMITED Certain groups are strictly limited to standard stone combinations! The available stones adhere to the colors of the organization and in most cases the one color stone may be used with either pearls or diamonds. The prices of individual jewels vary according to size and stone. In fratetrnity jewelry, according to value, diamonds a r e first; emeralds next; sapphires, rubies, and garnets, third; and then opals and pearls. Most pin orders include an order for the chapter guard. More plain guards are sold because of their relative inex-pensiveness. In yellow gold, single letter guards are $2.75 and two-letter ones are $4.75, but an additional one dollar is charged for each letter if white gold is used. For a jeweled guard with stones to match the combination in the pin itself, prices start at $7.75 for single letters, and $14.00 for double letters. A less expensive and smaller all-pearl guard is available for pins having a pearl combination.^ SIZES Fraternities usually h a ve three pin sizes to select, and sororities usually have one, but two at the most. Fraternities have large, regular, and small sizes, but practically all men today wear the regular size pin. Mr. Benson recalls the day when many overly proud fraternity men ordered the large size, known as the "swagger," and the wearer did just that, Mr. Benson says. Women who have a selection, most often select the miniature s i z e as opposed to the regular size. And when a man orders a pin especially for a woman, he will also select the miniature size.

Kearns, Jr., an Auburn alumnus, has begun a two-year assignment as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sa-bah, Sarawak. He is one of 52 Peace Corps volunteers who left Jan. 2 for Sabah and Sarawek. These volunteers will begin work in the fields of education a nd rural community action. This group will join 88 other- volunteers already serving there. These areas are part of the newly formed Federation of Malaysia which incorporates the former country of Malaya and the territories of North Borneo and Sarawak. The Government of Malaysia is engaged in a major effort to develop the potentials of its peoples and its resources. However, as a newly developing country, Malaysia has a severe shortage of trained personnel. The Peace Corps Volunteers with thejr diversified skills are helping to fill this need. These Americans will serve as teachers to assist in preparing future leaders, and as agricultural extension workers in rural communities. They trained almost three months at the University of Hawaii in the local version of t h e Malayan language, in the area's culture, LETTER TO. THE EDITOR An Open Letter To Mr. Franklin Editor, The Plainsman: An Open Letter to Mr. Harold Franklin: Welcome to Auburn, the lov-liest village of the plains. You entered our midst one in ten thousand, with head erect and quiet dignity. Many of us walked wiSh you and were proud of you. It is not a hostile environment that you entered, but rather one where unfami-liarity coupled with self-consciousness make initial overtures difficult. Be patient with us as I believe we shall be with you. You come here to study and learn. That is why all of us are here. It is hard work even for the strong. It takes time, quiet, and peace of mind. These we can give you. You are in the Auburn family now. You share its triumphs and fine traditions. All we ask is that you grow to the best of your abilities. The path to understanding is infinitely long and tortuous. Yet the journey can be made reasonably pleasant. At first, while you are strange and novel, we shall smile a greeting, nod our heads, and say, "Hey." With a little practice this will be so easy that we shall stop and talk with you. Perhaps a cup of coffee, or lunch at the cafeteria. These will be so easy that no longer will you be one in ten thousand, but just another struggling student trying to make the grade. Here's to anonymity, Harold. Cheers. Dr. Paul P. Budenstein Dept. of Physics AVA NOTICE The Auburn Veterans' Association will meet Jan. 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Union Building.

Coach "Swede" Is Tops An athletic coach with a record of 141 wins, only 15 losses, and five draws? Sounds unlikely, doesn't it? 141-15-5 . . . those combined figures look even more unbelieveable. But that is the record of Arnold "Swede" Umbach, head wrestling coach at Auburn ever since he organized the wrestling team in 1946. What's more, three of those losses were sustained the first year Coach Umbach organized his near-all-winning i squad. "We didn't start work until after Christmas that year, and the other schools we wrestled had teams for many years previously." said Umbach. So discount that first novice year and the slate is 140-12-5. And that, friends, looks almost unbelievable to me. Arnold Umbach, one of Auburn's real claims to fame in the sports world, is actually a product of Oklahoma, the "Sooner State." He began wrestling at Oklahoma State University, when it was but a prep school. Jokingly trying to hide his age, the genial "Swede" said that he "began wrestling in the '20's." Finishing high school, he moved on to Southwestern State College in southern Oklahoma and began a fantastic college career. Learning under the tutelage of the late E. C. Gallagher (Oklahoma State coach from 1916-1940), he began his assault on collegiate records at Southwestern. Umbach was the champion of the whole state of Oklahoma (that was then, as now, the renter of collegiate wrestling) for each of his four college years (1924-1927). "No," he answered to our query, " I didn't enter the NCAA championships." We were momentarily shocked. "They didn't even begin the NCAA wrestling championship matches until 1928," he smiled. Varsity Wrestlers Open Season Against Tech In Sports Arena Star Grapplers Dot Tiger Lineup For Initial SEIWA Mat Contest By JAMES DEMBOWSKI The Auburn Tigers wrestling team will take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacftets in the Sports Arena Saturday at 7:30 p.m. This will be the Tiger's second and the Yellow Jacket's fourth match of the current wrestling season. Nothing But Wins Since leaving Southwestern, Coach Umbach has left a trail of successful coaching stands behind him. He coached high school football in Oklahoma for 14 years, where he had the destinction of winning over 100 games. Leaving his native "Sooner" land, he moved to William and Mary College where he was an assistant football coach from 1941-1944. That same year, 1944, was a fateful day in the history of War Eagle athletics: Arnold Umbach and his family moved to the Lovliest Village where he joined the war-weakened Tiger football machine as an assistant coach. ' ^ ^ . After establishing the first Tiger /K llm wrestling squad in 1946, Umbach was • 'f c ^ the founding father of the Southeastern Amateur Athletic Union in 1947. However, the league was reorganized in 1953 and is nd%- known as the Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association. The Auburn grapplers have completly dominated the SEIWA championship matches, winning every year (17) since it was organized. According to Coach Umbach, the SEIWA covers all schools located tn states represented in the Southeastern Confer - UMBACH ence- Since 1928, Oklahoma State has dominated intercollegiate wrestling at the NCAA level, but at the same time "Swede" Umbach has held a strangle-hold on Southern intercollegiate grappling. Although Auburn has never been represented at the NCAA meet by av team, several outstanding individuals have carried War Eagle colors to the national matches. In 1953 Dan McNair from Auburn was responsible for Penn State winning the national title from Oklahoma State (and OSU hasn't lost the NCAA title but a half-dozen or so times since 1928). In the finals, NcNair defeated an OSU man to throw the winning points to Penn State. Sonny Dragoin, who now coaches the Tiger golf team, finished fourth in the NCAA finals. Incidently, Dragoin had only wrestled for three years, (under Coach Umbach), whereas his competitors had all wrestled for seven or eight years (including high school). That was back in 1952—before Dragoin returned to Auburn to join the coaching staff. After helping Umbach with the frosh grapplers for several years, Coach Dragoin now handles the golf team in addition to teaching. Many Years, Many Honors . . . Many honors have come his way since "Swede" Umbach settled on the Plains. One of his prized possessions is a plaque from the Helms Hall of Fame, denoting him as one of the outstanding coaches in the nation. He was selected for this honor in 1961. Also, he now serves on the selection board of this same organization. Another national honor was bestowed on Coach Umbach in 1962 when he was tapped for membership in the Century Club. He was selected by virtue of having won over 100 contests in wrestling, as well as for having posted over 100 victories as a high school football coach. In addition, Umbach served as president of American Wrestling Coaches Association in 1955. He is also a member of the NCAA rules committee, as is Coach Wilbur Hutsell (Auburn's retired track mentor). To us, though, one of the most amazing things about Coach Umbach is his ability to recruit. Although Auburn gives absolutely no scholarships to wrestlers, almost all of the teams that the Tigers beat year after year offer scholarships to their grapplers. Umbach's profound ability tb develop boys into top wrestlers is expounded in his book "Successful Wrestling," which was printed in 1953. We were absolutely astounded when Coach Umbach told ur, about wrestling out in Oklahoma. "The Oklahoma-Oklahoma State match last year drew over 8,000 people," he said, "and they charge about $2 per seat." The NCAA tournament last season attracted over 25,000 fans to its four sessions. "And that was during spring vacation, when there were no students on the (See page 8, column Ty TIGER WRESTLERS Mark Hyman (left), Jim Welling-ham (center), and Henry Starns (right) talk over strategy as they prepare for Georgia Tech.

AUBURN CAGERS FACE ALABAMA, READY TO HALT LOSING STREAK -V Parker's American Service Station HULAND L. PARKER Phone 887-6221 EAST GLENN AVE. & DEAN ROAD AUBURN, ALABAMA By GERALD RUTBERG Disappointing Alabama confronts depth-shy Auburn this Saturday evening at the Coliseum in Montgomery in an SEC contest scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Prior to the 1963-64 season, Alabama was touted as a very formidable darkhorse to place at or near the top in this year's title chase. However the Tide has not lived up to expectations, posting a mediocre 8-6 record overall for their first fourteen games. For Auburn, now 5-6 on the season, finding adequate.)ben;c:h strength to spell the starting quintet has been the major dilemma. In the Tiger's last outing, against Florida, five Plainsmen cagers played a considerable portion of the game with heavy foul loads and two Tigers fouled out early in the second half of play. Auburn lost the contest 63-46. Alabama's starting lineup will include last year's sophomore sensation at the center's position, Bob Andrews, now a lanky junior who may have a special incentive in this year's intrastate clash. It was Andrews who muffed an under-the-bas-ket layup shot while completely unguarded in last year's first Tide-Tiger battle which forced the game into overtime. Auburn eventually won the game and later in the season the Tigers recorded another overtime triumph over the Crimson Tide. Other probable starters for Coach Haydon Riley's Crimsons include forwards Bob Perry and Bambi Howland, and guards Ken Moses and J. W. Berry. James Boothe • is also ticketed for game action. Auburn will counter with center Joel Newton, forwards Freddie Guy and Lee DeFore, and guards John Blackwell and Larry Chapman. Tommy Fibbe and Herbert Greene will also see duty for the Tigers. As the season progresses, the Tigers are gradually gaining experience, and while the Tigers may be slight underdogs according to pre-game sources, this unusual role may prove erroneous by game's end if Auburn has developed more quickly than the prognosticators seem to feel. It will be the Tigers first appearance in the state of Alabama since late December. A near-capacity crowd is expected for this annual dogfight, played at a neutral site to accomodate more patrons as well as to reduce the possibility of any hostilities erupting from such an intense rivalry.

The Tigers, hitting at a 49.5 per cent field goal clip prior to the Florida game, could manage only 34 per cent of their shots in t h e first half while the Gators hit on 48 per cent of their efforts and took a 39-31 lead at halftime. Larry Chapman led the Tigers' first half scoring with eight points, all in the last four minutes of the period as Auburn cut the Florida lead from 15 to nine points late in the half. Chapman also led the Auburn rebounding for the period with five. Both teams opened slowly in a second half typified by cold shooting by Auburn as the Tigers went six minutes before hitting their first field goal. John Blackwell fouled out early in the second half and was followed to the bench by Newton and Guy as the Tigers accumulated fouls at a rapid rate and lost three starters to fouls. Chapman and Lee De- Fore each hit for six points in the last half as Auburn scored only 15 points in the last 20 minutes of play. Florida ran up a 19 point lead l a t e in the game, but goals by Chapman and DeFore closed the gap to 15. Larry Chapman was t h e leading point maker for Auburn with 14. Lee DeFore and Joe Newton each hit for nine points and Freddie Guy added seven. Johnny Blackwell picked up four fouls early in the game and was held to two points. Tommy Fibbe saw limited action but tossed in five points. Thomlinson led t h e Gator attack with 25 points. Florida's fine guard duo, Baxley and Henderson dropped in 13 and 10 points respectively. The Tigers will attempt to even their season record as they take on cross-state rivals Alabama in t h e State Coliseum next Saturday night in Montgomery. TOMMY FIBBE, a sophomore performing in the "sixth man" position for the basketball Tigers this season, is averaging 5.0 points per game thus far. He is expected to see extensive action when the rebounding Tigers clash with the Alabama cagers Saturday night at Montgomery. The younger brother of former Auburn all-SEC star Jimmy Fibbe, he is regarded as one of the best ball handlers on the young Tiger squad.

BURTON'S BOOK STORE "Kati - Ti Neon Kathe Mera." By TED HILEY Rebounding from their first loss of the season at the hands of Pensacola Junior College 74-61, Auburn's freshman basketball squad romped past Snead College by a score of 81-47 on Thursday night in the Auburn Sports Arena. In their pre-Christmas loss to Pensacola, the frosh were led in scoring by Jimmy Montgomery with 19 points. Tee Faircloth and Bobby Buisson added 12 points each. The Baby Tigers were hampered in their efforts by frequent fouls and lost three starters early in the second half against the tall Pensacola team. On Jan. 9, the Auburn frosh coasted to an 81-47 win against Snead College. Auburn trailed only briefly and after tying the score at 7-7, the Baby Tigers began to hit and opened up a sizable lead behind the shooting of Randy Thomas, Joe M i 11 s a p and Montgomery. Millsap with 21 points and Montgomery with 11 led Auburn to a 45-20 halftime lead. W i t h Montgomery hitting four quick field goals early in the s e c o n d half, Auburn lengthened its lead and held a 65-35 advantage midway in the second half. With 10 minutes remaining in the game, Coach Davalos sent in a new team to finish the game. Not always exhibiting polished play but always hustling, the subs paced by Edwards, Wilder, Butler, Milligan and Caru-thers pushed-the Auburn lead to 38 points late in the game and closed out the game with an 81-47 victory. Auburn's pressing defense, led by Bobby Buisson and Tee Faircloth, gave the Snead team very few good shots and forced the Parsons into numerous floor mistakes. With Randy battling aggressively, the Baby Tigers controlled t h e boards and gathered in most of the rebounds. "Joe Millsap paced the Auburn scoring with 22 points. Jimmy Montgomery hit for 19 and Randy Thomas added 13 as nine of the Baby Tigers hit the scoring column. J. Smith was the leading Snead scorer with 10 points, and was the only Parson to hit double figures. One HOUR "mmmum: CERTIFIES THE MOST IN DRY CLEANING - S P E C I A L - Thurs., Jan. 16 & Every Thurs.

A native of Cullman, Ala., he served three years in the Navy prior to enrolling at Saint Bernard College in Cullman for a two-year period. Coach Lynn has been associated With the "Loveliest Village" since 1948 in either a student or coaching capacity. The lanky Tiger mentor transferred to Auburn in 1948 and played center and forward for the next two seasons under Coach Joel Eaves. Upon graduation in the Spring of 1950, Coach Lynn was hired as freshman coach and Coach Eaves' assistant-everything in the fall of that same year. Married to the former Martha Hawthorne of Sylvester, Ga., Coach Lynn's family includes five children ranging in age from 11 years to seven months, or just enough to start a basketball quintet complete with coach and manager. "I find being head coach quite a bit different," says Coach Lynn of his new post. "Now all of the head coach's burden is on me." Speaking of this year's team, Coach Lynn stated that depth has been the primary problem. "At times we have played good ball, but several players are having to go all the way and foul troubles have resulted. We have yet to play forty minutes of consistently good basketball." While mentioning the problems which have plagued this year's team, Coach Lynn was quick to point out that he was sure the team would improve and had by no means given up their initiative. Asked to recall the best team to appear on the Plains during his sixteen year stint, Coach Lynn replied by claiming the famous "Seven Dwarfs" who captured the SEC crown in 1960 as the best basketball team ever to wear the orange and blue. "They were not big enough, but they were talented and also very smart," was the way Coach Lynn described that championship squad. As a matter of record, the Auburn team which Coach Lynn played on in his senior year owns the third best record in Tiger history in regard to wins and losses. At the present time there are but eleven cagers on the Auburn varsity, and according to Coach Lynn recruiting is the most essential factor in future success. Lack of having a better gym to play in has hurt the Plainsmen in recruiting outstanding prep cagers. With basketball patronage g r o w i ng throughout the South, Auburn will have to provide proper facilities and increased seating capacity for spectators to keep pace with other areas as a first rate competitor, as Coach Lynn sees it. He is looking forward to gaining varsity help from several freshman cagers and together with Coach Davalos the pair are making efforts to sign talented athletes from throughout the country wherever there is a chance of that person choosing Auburn. On Campus vtih (By the Author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boyil" and, "Barefoot Boy With Cheek.") A GUIDE FOB THE GUIDERS One of the most interesting academic theories advanced la many a long year has recently been advanced by that interesting academic theorist, E. Pluribus Ewbank, Ph. D. who holds the chair of Interesting Academic Theories at the St. Louis College of Footwear and Educational Philosophy. Dr. Ewbank said in the last issue of the learned journal, the Mount Rushmore Guide to Scholastic Advancement and President? Heads, that w« might be approaching the whole problem of student guidance from the wrong direction. ' Dr. Ewbank, a highly respected pedagogue and a lifelong smoker of Marlboro Cigarettes, (I mention Marlboros for two reasons: first, to indicate the scope of Dr. Ewbank's brainpower. Out of all the dozens of brands of cigarettes available today, Dr. Ewbank has had the wit and taste to pick the one with tb$ most flavorful flavor, the most filtracious filter, the most soft soft pack, the most flip top Flip Top box: I refer, of course, to Marlboro. The second reason I mention Marlboro is that I get paid to mention Marlboro in this column, and the laborer, you will agree, is worthy of his hire.) But I digress. To return to Dr. Ewbank's interesting theory, he contends that most college guidance counselors are inclined to take the easy way out. That is to say, if a student's aptitude tests show a talent for, let us say, math, the student is encouraged to major in math. If his tests show an aptitude for poetry, he is directed toward poetry. And so forth. All wrong, says Dr. Ewbank. The great breakthroughs, the startling innovations in, let us say, math, are likely to be made not by mathematicians—whose thinking, after all, is constrained by rigid rules and principles—but by mavericks, by nonconformists, by intuitors who refuse to fall into the rut of reason. For instance, set a poet to studying math. He will bring a fresh, unfettered mind to the subject, just as a mathematician will bring the same kind of approach to poetry. By way of evidence, Dr. Ewbank cites the case of Cipher Binary, a youth who entered college with brilliant test scores in physics, chemistry, and the calculus. But Dr. Ewbank forced young Cipher to major in poetry. The results were astonishing. Here, for example, is young Cipher's latest poem, a love lyric of such originality that Lord Byron springs to mind. I quote: He was her logarithm, She was his cosine. Taking their dog with 'em. They hastened to go sign Marriage vows which they joyfully shared, And wooed and wed and pi r squared. Similarly, when a freshman girl named Elizabeth Barrett Sigafoos came to Dr. Ewbank to seek guidance, he ignored the fact that she had won the Pulitzer prize for poetry when she was eight, and insisted she major in mathematics. Again the results were startling. Miss Sigafoos has set the entire math department agog by flatty refusing to believe that six times nine is 54. If Miss Sigafoos is correct, we will have to re-think the entire science of numbers and—who knows?—possibly open up vistas as yet undreamed of in mathematics. Dr. Ewbank's unorthodox approach to student guidance hat so impressed his employers that he was fired last week. He is currently selling beaded moccasins at Mount Rushmore. * * * We, the makers of Marlboro, know only one kind of guidance: the direct route to greater smoking pleasure.

While there I paid particular attention to the wrestlers. Among those working out for the team was 6'1", 215-pound, John McAfee. John, who reigns from Map-lesville, Ala., is a junior majoring in Physical Education. Many people know John better for his outstanding season at right tackle on the Tiger football team than for his wrestling ability. The first match for John this year will be Jan. 18 against Georgia Tech in the Sports Arena. Although he had never wrestled until'last year, John has compiled a remarkable record of wins with only two losses. He captured the Southeastern Conference Heavyweight Championship last year by defeating the former 191- pound, champion from Chattanooga. ; i According to Coach Umbach, John has made his own success as a wrestler. He praised John on t h e fact that he applied himself to learning the skills of wrestling quickly and com- YAF NOTICE Professor Raymond W. Rit-land will lecture on "A Proposed Solution to the Farm Problem" Tuesday, Jan. 21, at 7 p.m. in 305 Dunstan Hall as a presentation of the Auburn Young Americans for Freedom. bined these skills with desire and determination to win. Coach Umbach also stated that he thought John would have a better season this year than last year because he now has a year of experience to rely on. John, highly thought of by all his teammates, received high praise for his wrestling ability as well as his outstanding sense of humor. Known as the practical joker of the team, he is regarded as being aggressive, using wrestling skills, speed, desire and determination as well as muscle power to overcome his opponents. Sidle, Woodall Set Records Quarterback J i m m y Sidle added his name to every Auburn offensive record and place kicking specialist Woody Woodall set three new records and tied another in the season just completed. Sidle, a junior AU-American from Birmingham, set a new one year rushing record, gaining 1,006 yards on 185 attempts for a 5.4 yard average. A 6-2, 200-pounder, Sidle moved up to second in total offense for a career and second in total offense for one year. Jimmy gained 1,712 yards total offense in 1963, falling four yards short of breaking Travis Tidwell's record of 1,715 set in 1946. In total offense for a career, Sidle has gained 1,452 yards passing and 1,400 yards rushing for a total of 2,852. The all-time Auburn record is 3,- 820 yards set by Travis Tid-well who played four years, 1946-49. In individual rushing for a career, Sidle now ranks sixth. His 1,400 yards on 246 carries leaves him 613 yards short of the record held by Fob James (1,913) set from 1952-55. Woodall, a senior from Atlanta, broke Ed Dyas' career record by kicking. 19 field goals. Dyas' record was 17. In the PAT department, Woodall set a new record of 28 straight. He kicked 23 of 23 this year for a record of 100.0 per cent. And his 23 PATS in one season tied the record for the most PATs in one season. During Woodall's kicking ca-v reer, he provided the winning points in 10 games. And in the past two years, eight Auburn victories have come on points kicked by Woodall.

'Van Dyke Best' By Houston Vote Auburn's Bill Van Dyke has been voted by the Houston Cougars as the best lineman they faced in a representative schedule last season. Van Dyke received the a-ward for his efforts in Auburn's opening game victory over the Cougars last September in Houston where the Tigers triumphed by a 21-14 margin. In the Houston press release Van Dyke was referred to as "a stubby 205-pound guard, who made up for his lack of size with speed, agility and knack for hitting first and hardest.'.' When notified of the honor, Auburn Line Coach George Atkins stated that, "Bill is most deserving of any honors that come his way. He was easy to coach because he learned well and almost always led the Tiger linemen in everything they did.". Houston's schedule included contests with Mississippi, Mississippi State, Alabama, Memphis State, Baylor, and Tulsa. Memphis State's Tigers placed four men on the All-Opponent squad. in the Tigers' 23-21 victory over Tennessee. Against Kentucky he kicked both extra points in a 14-12 victory.

ADMINISTRATION OFFICES SET TO MOVE IN REBUILT LIBRARY By JIMMY STEPHENS The Buildings and Grounds Department is currently renovating the old library to provide space for administrative offices. The $275,000 project is expected to be finished in time for use spring, quarter. When construction is completed, the building will be fire-proofed and completely air-conditioned. It will have three floors and will house some nine administrative offices and departments, alleviating cramped conditions in Samford Hall and the Temporary Buildings. The Registrar's Office will occupy the entire ground floor of the fifty-year-old building. The remaining space will accomodate the Dean of Students, Dean of Ftculties, Dean of Graduate School, the Graduate Placement Office, Admissions Office, Personnel, Student Financial Aid, and University Relations Offices. Gardner Column (Continued from page 6) campus," he added. (The matches were held at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater.) After Coach Umbach voiced much optimism regarding this year's Tiger team, we asked him about his plans for the future. "I hope I never retire," he said. "I wouldn't last long if I did. I like to be around young kids too much—I just wouldn't be in the right place if I retired." Thus, judging from the past, it is safe to assume that Auburn's complete dominance of the Southern wrestling scene is certain to continue!!! HOWARD SIMPSON, voted as the SEC Lineman Of The Year by the Atlanta Journal, is caught by the camera as he prepares to make contact with the turf. However, it was one of the few times during the entire campaign that the 6'5", 232 pound end found himself in this position. NOTICE The S t u d e n t Activities Building will be open for basketball practice on weekends. All persons interested may practice when courts are available; h o w e v e r , intramural teams h a v e priority. The building will be open from 2 to 6 Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons and from 9 to 12 on Saturday morning. Frosh Blast Tech (Continued from page 6) who totaled 16. According to Coach Rudy Devalos, the frosh mentor, "Buisson played his best game of the year, particularly on defense." Buisson hit on seven of 11 field goal attempts and was largely rer sponsible for the comfortable halftime margin that the Baby Tigers enjoyed. Tee Fairclpth s c o r e d 13 points ' in, the' contest, "which preceded the Georgia Tech- Mississippi State varsity clash, and Randy Thomas and Joe Millsap contributed 11 a nd eight points respectively. Thomas led the Auburn rebounding with nine and Millsap gathered in eight rebounds. Commenting on t h e game, Devalos stated that the starting five players hit 66 per cent of their field goal attempts, a mark that is equaled by few (if .any) teams in the nation. "They played well," Coach Devalos said, "and they wanted to w i n i t badly—after hearing that the. Tiger frosh hadn't beaten Tech over there in several years." In other recent games, the victorious Tiger yearlings have downed Snead College and Alabama Christian College. On Jan. 11, against A l a b a ma Christian, t h e young Tigers hustled to a 46-24. halftime lead. Playing the role of visitors, they went on to win the contest by. the count of 85-56. Monk Montgomery paced the high-scoring Tiger attack with 24 ' points, followed by Tee Faircloth and Randy Thomas with 13 points each. Joe Millsap 'contributed 10 and Bobby Buisson, playing for only 30 minutes of the one-sided contest, tallied nine points. John Hollis led the Eagles in scoring with 15 points.

OCR Transcript | THE AUBURN PUUNSTVUN To Foster The Auburn Spirit VOLUME 91 AUBURN UNIVERSITY AUBURN, ALA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1964 8 Pages NUMBER 14 Peace Corps Concept Added To ACOIA Slate The agreement of Dr. J. Norman Parmer, director of the division of university, private and international cooperation of the Peace Corps, to address the Auburn Conference on International Affairs (ACOIA) culminated a busy week of activity for the conference committee. Parmer will address the conference on the Peace Corps as a new concept in foreign aid. Chairman Ned Pierce stated that letters of invitation to delegates from other universities . are ready to be mailed. The conference is expecting a minimum of 200 visiting delegates, according to Pierce. The ACOIA chairman also noted that contacts have been made with representatives of the Indian and Israeli governments. He stated that experts from these countries would be of special importance to the conference theme of foreign aid. Israel was a former recipient of foreign aid. It is one of few countries which h as asked for U.S. aid to be stopped after assisting the country in accomplishing certain specific objectives. India is one of the largest recipients of U.S. assistance. Dr. J. Norman Parmer is a history specialist in the area of Southeast Asia. He has also studied in the field of economics. Parmer received his B.A. degree from Indiana Univer. $282,000 In Grants Given To Auburn Federal grants totaling over $282,000 will go to various Auburn research programs, according to an announcement by President Ralph B. Dratighon. Included is $176,850 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for pre-doctoral space related science training programs, approximately $80,- 000 from the National Institutes of Health for five new research grants, $15,750 for a college teacher research participating program under the National Science Foundation and another $9,530 from the Foundation to support a summer science training program for secondary school students. NASA GRANT The grant from NASA will enable 10 trainees to receive stipends over a three-year period in any of 10 departments eligible to participate at the doctoral level, according to Dean W. V. Parker of the Graduate School which administers the program. A similar group is now in the first year of pre-doctoral training under the program. Departments eligible to participate in the NASA program are agricultural engineering, (See page 2, column 6) sity, his M.A. from the Univer. sity of Connecticut, and h i s Ph.D. degree from Cornell University. He is considered by many to be one of the Peace Corps' top three officials. Parmer has lived and worked in Malaya for about four years out of the last 10. He has written books and articles on Malaya. Dr. Parmer returned from Malaya last February after having served as the Peace Corps representative in that country. His regular position, from which he is on leave, is professor of history at Northern Illinois University. ACOIA officials s t r e s s ed Parmer's importance to the conference as a representative of person to person communication as a factor in foreign aid. An ACOIA spokesman said that Parmer is expected to illustrate the effectiveness of the Peace Corps as a deterrent to similar person to per-s o n propaganda techniques used by communist countries. Parmer is the third foreign aid expert that the ACOIA committee has obtained for the conference. Previous signees are Eleanor Lansing Dulles and Ambassador Walter C. Dowling. C h a i r m a n Pierce stated that ,three more foreign aid experts are to be signed and announced in the near future.

Polio Vaccination Set For Thursday By JIMMY STEPHENS The second of three Sabin oral polio vaccines will be distributed on the campus tomorrow free of charge. The drive is sponsored by the Lee County Medical Association as part of the national campaign to eliminate polio as a crippling disease. There will be no charge for the vaccine, but donations of 25 cents will be asked to help defray expenses of the campaign. The second dosage gives immunization against type three polio, the - secon,d.. mast preya« lent variety.'' The tftfee oVal vaccines give complete immunization to polio with no necessity for boosters in the future. According to Medical Association officials all three oral vaccines are necessary for com. p 1 e t e immunization, even though Salk injections may have been taken in the past. Drew Ragan, leader of the campus drive, stated that he encourages those who have not had the first type of vaccine or who took it some place other than on the campus last quarter to take the second dosage here tomorrow. The order or time intervals between the three vaccines is of little importance, according to Ragan. Immunization stations will Instructor Named Dean's Assistant Haniel Jones has been named assistant to the dean of the School of Engineering to succeed James D. Wade who retired Jan. 1 after 22 years in the Engineering School, according to President Ralph B. Draughon. The new assistant to the dean is a native of Birmingham and a resident of Notasulga. Jones is a graduate of Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., and Duke University. His previous teaching experience includes Millsaps College and the Methodist High School in Rangoon, Burma.

The Four Lads have been voted one of America's "Favorite vocal groups" by trade magazines and musical publications. The group has sold some 16 million singles and albums including their Gold Records "Standing on the Corner," "My Little Angel," "Moments to Remember," "Who Needs You," and "No, Not Much." The Lads met as choir boys in their home town of Toronto, Canada. They were booked by the Canadian Radio Cavalcade where Mitch Miller "discovered" them. Members of the group are Frankie Busseri, baritone, Jimmie Arnold, high tenor; Bernie Toorish, t he composer and arranger; and Johnnie D'Arc, the newest member of the group.

Vernon Loyd, president of t h e local Young Democrats, points out that a student must pay his poll tax by Feb. 1, if he wishes to vote this presidential election year in Alabama. Everyone must pay poll tax except veterans with service prior to 1955 or National Guardsmen. The tax may be paid at the tax collector's office in the student's county according to Loyd. It may be paid by mail or a friend or parent at home may pay it for you. The Young Democrats also points out that every person over 21 must register to be able to vote. To register one must apply in person to the Board of Registrars in his home county. All boards meet the first and third Mondays in each county in Alabama. During January, the boards meet 10 days. The student may register after Feb. 1 to vote in the May Primaries, the Young Democrats say, but poll tax must be paid by Feb. 1 to be able to vote this year. Poll tax is $1.50 per year.

Dr. N. W. Dougherty, dean emeritus of engineering at the University of Tennessee and one of the fathers of engineering professionalism, gave this key to Auburn engineers in a recent talk. In his lifetime, Dr. Dougherty said, the traditional man in khaki has become the professional furnishing ideas to government, industry and education, doubling the number of Ph.D.s in his ranks yearly. "The engineer is a composite," according to Dean Dougherty. "He applies all fields to engineering—mathematics, the humanities, law, philosophy. Ideas and design are the typical products of an engineer, cuting across all levels of civilization." DISSATISFIED D e a n Dougherty further pointed out that studies have shown that the engineer is the most dissatisfied of all employed by industry. However, this is not a lack of happiness in his job. It is a dissatisfaction with the state of the art. He must always improve existing knowledge. Dean Dougherty explained that this is "the real business of the engineer." George Westinghouse is one of the three outstanding engineers named by Dean Dougherty. One of Dougherty's former the return of the penny moc BRISTOL History sometimes makes mis* takes.

Articles are reprinted by permission from the Royal B a n k of Canada Monthly Letter. MORE DISAGREEMENTS between people and between nations can be traced to misunderstanding than to any other cause. The bitterest conflicts within families and within offices and workshops have not been waged for great ideals, but for one opinion against another. If, as has been said, life may be defined as the continuous adjustment of internal relations to external relations, then here is an area where we may contribute greatly to our peace of mind. Adaptation implies tolerance. Intolerant people have a limited outlook in an age which demands that we take wide views. Their intolerance shows itself in many ways, from simple withdrawal from society to "Hate-gnarled features, twisted by passions as old as mankind," as a newspaper reported a race riot in the United States. The argument against intolerance is not only a moral argument, but rests solidly upon two single considerations: (1) it is not humanly possible to know all the facts, or even all of any one fact; (2) we live in a tense age in which the overmastering need is to accept the rights, duties and privileges of individuals regardless of tfteir f a m i l y, church, political and national background and environment. Open-mindedness A closed mind is merely a machine, automatically churning over and over again the little that is in it, believing always whatever it now believes. It is prone to exclude, whether neighbors from a country club or books from the library. The open-minded person has a question which he asks regularly in order to prevent misunderstandings: "How d o es this look f r o m where he stands?" It applies to members of his family, to a neighbor, to those who live in another city or province, and to those whose homes are at the far ends of the earth. When you look at the spectrum you see the colors/ from violet to red, side by side but shading into one another with no boundaries to indicate, precisely where one color ends Jump Out The Window-Please! Then Well Walk Toward Funchess By DIANE SNODDY . " J u m p out t h e window if you want to; i t 's your blood, not mine." And the English instructor talked on. However, to one of the class members this was not s t a n d a r d teaching procedure. It was, instead, a shock— one of many received by 13 Auburn High School Seniors who spent a day on cam pus Monday. The girls, all members of Future Teachers of America, were here as guests of the Student Education Association and the School of Education. The program was sponsored in an attempt to familiarize future teachers with college requirements in their curricula. Familiarization c e r t a i n ly took place as the girls were led around a n d introduced to everything.ifrom Davjtrto to the Womens Dining Hall. On Dr. Ivey, "He's inspiring." On the Dining Hall, "Let's eat in the Union Building." There were other comments, too. Some were really enthusiastic about the education courses which they attended; others thought them boring but "probably necessary." Asked for examples of the "probably necessary" classes, they replied, "the ones that teach you how to print well." And an explanation, "That's important for an elementary teacher to know." One young lady Hyasfiate in meeting the others for lunch. In explanation, she panted, "Have you ever walked to Funchess?" There was- a reply, "Yes, all the way from Broun." 3—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, January 15, 1964 stitched and striped costume wrapped with cord. And what a neat package! One piece dress with striped top picked up in the lining of its brief jacket. Jacket and skirt, acetate and cotton denim in blue, red or charcoal; top and lining in matching woven stripe cotton. Park ZKO and another begins. That is the way to look at people, too. There is no such thing as a life that is all black or all white, all indigo, blue, green, yellow or orange, although one or another will predominate at one time or one place. The Athenians gave us the first example of the explicit recognition of the importance of social tolerance. They had minds open to new ideas and thoughts. We recall that on his journey up and down the coast of Asia Minor Saint Paul was mobbed and imprisoned and ridiculed and beaten, but when he came to Athens t h ey brought h i m to Mars' Hill, their highest court, and said: "May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speak-est, is?" Open-mindness is not emp-ty- headedness. It m'eans having a desire to learn as well as having freedom from prejudice, partisanship and other mind-closing habits. If you have an open mind you are not content to uncover errors: you go a step farther in an attempt to establish true opinion to take their place. And when you come upon something excellent you like it, no matter whose it is. Some causes of misunderstanding It will help us to avoid misunderstandings if we know some of their causes. There are m a n y sparks which s e t misunderstanding ablaze, and since they are of about equally frequent occurrence there is no better order in which to mention them than alphabetically from anger to pride. Trader Horn, the e a r t hy philosopher in Mrs. Lewis's story, said: "There's nothing brings us closer akin to the apes than the tantrums we get into." When we lose our tempers we offer humiliating spectacles, with dignity, common sense and justice thrown out the window. The causes of anger may be brought under two headings: fear and mortification. When someone lets us down at work or in society the emotion of anger arises"'instinctively. We fear -the outcome of the1 pier-son's blunder or' w e ' are' humiliated because he did that to us. We get so worked up that like Aase, one of the characters in Ibsen's Peer Gynt we "could make a meal of flints." Then, forgetting that it is our reaction, and not the affront, which counts, we lose control of the situation. We write a snarling letter or speak a growling word. Our emotion, without the curb of our brains to guide it, leads headlong into a major misunderstanding. We need to recognize the fact that we have control only over our own reactions. In our daily contacts with people we are like the lowly amoeba, unable to push others around but only to withdraw or flow past them. This1 is why the man who seeks to avoid misunderstanding flies into a* great calm instead of into a great rage. His calmness offers nothing ,that another can grasp; it disarms his opponent; it heightens his own stature. A man is as big as the things that make him mad. It is said that Sir Lancelot had several sizes of spear, and would call for his Great Spear or his Lesser Spear as occasion demanded. It is wise, in our own interests, to err on the side of gentleness. Anxiety is a frequent cause of misunderstanding. It results from the clash of desire and fear.

McMillan Auburn's Drum And Bugle Corps Performs Unique Campus Service By GARY WINSETT Two years ago, the Auburn ROTC Drum and Bugle Corps consisted of a lone snare drummer. Today it has developed into a tri-service 18-member band which performs a unique service on campus. Army Lt. Col. G. H. Shu-mard, the officer in charge, said before the Drum and Bugle Corps was formed, band music was available during ROTC drill periods on special occasions. Recognizing the need for a drum beat during drill periods, ROTC cadet LeDell Pearson volunteered his services as a snare drummer in the fall quarter of 1961. During the same quarter, the group borrowed a bass drum from the Navy ROTC department and added a bass drummer. Winter Quarter Shows Enrollment Increase By MARY WHITLEY A total of 9391 students are enrolled in Auburn for winter quarter, according to Registrar Charles Edwards. This total represents an increase of 856 students over winter quarter, 1963. The figures include 8879 on-campus students, while 512 of the total are enrolled in the teacher and field-lab courses. Edwards attributed the high winter quarter enrollment to the fewer scholastic failures among freshmen, due to higher admission standards recently put into effect.

WANDA MARTIN JOY MEYER v ROTC officials immediately made plans to increase ,the number of drummers and to add buglers. The band continued to grow. By the spring of 1963 the band numbered 17 members including cadets from all three branches of ROTC. During the summer quarter of 1963, the Corps suffered a loss of personnel but was back to full strength with 17 members during the past fall quarter. The band now has 18 members including drummers, buglers, a baritone horn player and a cymbalist. Plans are to increase the band to 24 cadets and to add clarinets. According to Colonel Shu-mard the members provide their services on a voluntary basis. The Drum and Bugle Corps has the same status as drili teams and the Army's counter-guerilla warfare unit. This allows cadets to fulfill their leadership laboratory requirement by .participating in the Drum and Bugle Corps. They are authorized distinctive uniform accessories. Colonel Shumard said the general improvement of drill due to the band is very obvious.' He had high praise for the band members, who are the first cadets on the drill field and the last ones to leave. The Corps, which is generally for basic cadets, takes part in all parades. They performed in the Auburn Christmas Parade last year. Commander of the group is cadet corporal Glenn Sylvest. By WALTER MASSEY The words "Pulitzer Prize," when used to describe a scholarly work lend it such a sweet-sounding authority that further description is hardly needed. Research Prof. Malcolm C. McMillan of the history department currently has his recently published Alabama Confederate Reader under nomination as the best historical work for this year 1963. One may rest assured that his "fingers are crossed" in awaiting the decision of the Pulitzer Prize judging committee. Professor McMillan's outstanding work in Alabama and Southern History has, in fact, already won him considerable recognition. He is presently a recipient, of a grant from the Gugginheim Foundation for research.— only 15 historians in the international competition were similarly honored. Professor McMillan was born in Stockton, Ala., Aug. 22, 1910. He finished high school at Baldwin County High School in 1928 and then attended Southwestern College at Memphis for two years. He transferred to the University where he earned his A.B. and M.A. degrees. After teaching history in public and preparatory schools for six years, he continued his education at the University of North Carolina. His dissertation for the Doc-troate, (Constitutional Development in Alabama: a Study in Politics, the Negro and Sectionalism, 1798-1901); published by the University of North Carolina press, was a virtual sellout. EVALUATION In evaluating the Auburn history department, Professor McMillan stressed the quality of instruction in the areas of Southern and American history, but admitted that European history is weak because of a shortage of Continental historians. He said political science also needs to be strengthened. One of the drawbacks, according to Dr. McMillan, of. the course in American History, HY107, which many students are required to take, is that it attempts to deal with such a vast amount of material in such a short time. There is little time for the personalities in American History to be vividly drawn. Historical treatment is so factual that students generate a distaste for history, he says. Additionally, Professor McMillan contends students want to know a concrete answer or fact, instead of realizing that history often leaves room for interpretation. VAST FIELD . History, itself, Professor McMillan continues, is not an exact science. It is invaluable, however, in analyzing that which has happened in order to facilitate man's adaptation to the present. History has greatly changed over the centuries, according to Professor McMillan. Modern history has its foothold in the civilization of the ancient Greeks, he says. The Greeks were interested in recording the QUIPS "ES By SALLY QUILLIAN BLUE BOOK The Interfrater'nity Council at the University of Pittsburgh plans to publish a course evaluation booklet. Booklets of this type are in print at a number of ivy league schools already and contain a critical analysis of each subject and respective teacher, giving specific ratings to the value of the course and competence of the instructor. At some schools the student government sponsors this item, "informative to the student and challenging to the teacher." (from The Pitt News) FEMININE Sorority relations blackened at the University of Alabama last quarter when the member of one sorority bit a rival sorority member on the thumb. The occasion was the Sigma Chi Derby which was vividly and grotesquely described on the front page of The Crimson and White. Competition in one event became so heated that the dean of women asked the chairman to call off that event. DISCOUNTS The student senate at Emory University has a committee called the Student Discount Committee which will soon set up a discount service for Emory students with stores in the area. Such a service helps the merchants increase their sales as well as benefits the students. Merchants receive free advertising in a phamplet listing the stores which subscribe to the service. Included would be service stations, dry cleaners, flor-. ists, clothing and jewelry stores, restaurants, and barber shops, (from The Emory Wheel) PLAYBOY Subscription & Calendars Michael G. Thomas Theta Xi House 8 8 7 - 9 1 8 3 social and economics phases of their life, as well as the political. In the interlude between the Greek civilization and that as we know it today, history has dealt with rulers and later politicians, but only recently has history begun to deal with the total of the civilization and culture at hand, says Dr. McMillan. Scientific objectivity can never replace the subjectivity that allows man to rise above a situation by knowing that man in the past has been required to face a similar problem and has successfully surmounted it. ACCOMPLISHMENTS Among Professor McMillan's other accomplishments are a score of articles and reviews written for periodicals in Alabama and many other states as well.

Greek Week Friday night initiates an anual affair known about the campus as Greek Week. It is a week of fun, frolic and seriousness for campus Greeks. We think that it is a good time to survey Auburn's fraternity system. Generally speaking,.it is our belief that fraternities and sororities have made a lot of progress in the last year. Greeks are finally beginning to notice their powerful critics. They are not, however, taking a defeatist attitude. There is some good and some bad in any large system. Auburn Greeks are obviously realizing this fact and are taking steps to rid themselves of their bad points. We have heard of several instances in which individual fraternities have voluntarily ceased undue physical harassment of pledges and initiates. This has been one of the strongest points for criticism. We think that the fraternity system is wise in discarding its intangibles as public defenses. Communication with other people must be based upon the tangible. No amount of talk about the brotherhood or sisterhood "that only \ we can .know, and enjoy" will make„ Greekdom acceptable to other minds. We feel that Auburn fraternities and sororities are realizing their responsibilities to the social, physical, and academic welfare of the university. Greek grades have improved. They are contributing physically and financially to community and university projects. We shall never say that a fraternity or sorority is a vital need of every college student. It is not. The fraternity can however offer tangible benefits to those who are desirous of membership in such groups. It is our belief that this must be the real purpose of Greek Week. This is a time when each fraternity and sorority should evaluate itself. Each organization must carefully analyze its inner workings and its relationships with the outside world. The good must be maintained. The bad must be recognized and abolished. We believe that Auburn fraternities and sororities are headed in this direction. If such be the case, the Greek future should be bright and Greek Week should be deserving of meritorious notice by all., . „. 'The Education Congress' President Johnson has seen fit to label the 88th Congress of the United States "the education congress." While we think it admirable and politically sound that Mr. Johnson has found a way to cast meritorious recognition upon our esteemed legislative branch, we do not think that education owes very much to the 88th Congress. It is quite true that the multimillion dollar construction bill of 1963 will be of some benefit to institutions of higher learning. The fact remains, however, that this bill is not nearly so significant to education as the GI Bill or the National Defense Education Act of which Alabama Representative Carl Elliott is the co-author. There is also the additional fact that the support granted to education by the 88th Congress is lower percentagewise than government aid to education for the academic year 1952-53. To some minds, decreasing federal assistance to education is a cause for rejoicing. We accept this premise in theory. Education's needs can likely best be served by local and state support. In some cases, this principle has worked successfully. These cases have unfortunately been few. One educator noted recently that the entire outlay of the construction bill passed by the 88th Congress could not provide the states of Alabama and Georgia with a "good" school system. The term "good" referred to standards in education now maintained by the states of California and New York. Incumbent congressmen seeking reelection should get a lot of mileage out of the President's statement. Education forces, on the other hand, don't have much to look forward to if the 88th was indeed "the education congress." A Touching Story We had the unfortunate experience this week to receive a phone call from a "lady in distress." It seems that this woman's billfold had somehow been stolen. Yes, we know that it happens every day. This was one of those stories, however, that had the human element designated by biblical scholars as capable of moving mountains. The young lady, a secretary on the campus, is working to put her husband through school. Our subject matter, the bright red billfold, contained seventy dollars to be used for this .purpose. This paltry sum was the result of many long hours spent typing a thesis for pay. Now there's no money. Even the lady's identification is gone. It is a common story, a much too common one. Life's hopes and aspirations are too precious to be dashed to the ground by the hand of a thief. We are very sad that such "trivial incidents" can cause such big woes to our fellow man. We are even more disillusioned that the causes for such sorrow abound in our midst. Tobacco Substitute? It seems that a great many of us are destined to die of lung cancer. The government report on smoking is serious business, but we doubt that it will cause any great degree of consternation among college smokers. There are too many of us who are unwilling to become nervous wrecks by giving up the habit. Don't, however, resign yourself to lung cancer. Researchers tell us that there is still hope. UK ijflaff*...--. m. tcame- Introspectives . . . Panama Wants Justice, A Canal; How Can We Deny Her This? By Bobby Boettcher Experiments with vegetable leaves as replacements for tobacco are now being conducted in a New York laboratory. Through various and sundry conglomerations of vegetation and artificial flavorings, a synthetic is in sight. The only remaining task is for the scientists to come up with a tobaccolike aroma. Can you imagine walking into a drugstore and asking for a pack of menthol lettuce leaves? What is happening now in Panama was inevitable. Panama, taking note of the steady relinquishing of colonial holdings by world powers is asking to have the canal for its own—or at least that the United States leave. And because for years we have quelled tacitly any intimation of this sort of situation in Panama, we now find ourselves bare-faced with no more presence of mind than to yell desperately, "protect our interests" and "communist subversion." Seemingly, we are unable to view the dilemma objectively. We were caught unprepared and without a solution except to caU out the Marines and scream slogans. The newspapers tell us that there is no alternative to possession of the Canal; yet, the United States has realized for several years that the Canal will be incapable of handling increased traffic in the future, and has considered the possibility of building a new canal at another site in Central America. Sen. Karl Mundt would have us turn loose our 10,000 troops in the Canal Zone on the Panamanian populace as a "show of strength." Sen. Richard Russell warns that we must not allow the Canal Zone to fall into the hands of "Castro supporters and subversives." Indeed, we must not; but are we to define "Castro supporters and subversives" in Panama as everything and everybody except the good ole USA? Undersecretary of S t a te George Ball reports that the rioting in Panama showed evidence of communist exploitation, but not communist instigation. The uprising was inspired by nationalist feeling such as that expressed by Panamanian President Chiari, when he promised "to obtain justice for Panama once and for all." If t h e United States speaks through threats and military might, it will run the risk of leaving Panamanian nationalism with nowhere to turn but to the exploitation of communism. , Will the United States, which opposed old friends Britain and France in supporting Egypt's 1956 nationalization of the Suez Canal, now try to perpetuate its control and "interest" in Panama by quoting old treaties which it forced upon the Republic of Panama? If so, we shall find ourselves groping for defense against charges of international double-dealing, and our racial double standard here at home, for which we know there is no defense. For at least two years, a war of nerves has been waging in Panama. It came to a climax last Thursday when some American high school students raised an American flag in front of their school in defiance of a recent U.S.-Panama agreement that the flags of the two countries would be flown together. The fighting which broke out as Panamanian students tried to raise their flag at the school furnished the spark for nationwide anti-U.S. demonstrations and riots. The ensuing destruction of American and Panamanian life and property was appalling. The incidents of last toeek are not just a result of two years of seething discontent, but of 60 years of U.S. domination, the benevolence and benefits of which often have been offset by dubious American motives and methods. The Republic of Panama itself was created by the United States government, which tormented a revolution in 1904 against Colombia—of which Panama was a territory at that time—mainly because Colombia asked more money for US rights to canal construction than President Theodore Roosevelt was willing to pay. After the Republic was established, it became an instrument of the "dollar diplomacy" of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft, in making the Caribbean Sea 'an American lake." Today the United States pays Panama only 1.9 million dollars annually for perpetual occupancy of the Canal Zone. American citizens in the Canal Zone receive privileged status, including higher pay, special food, and special recreational facilities—somewhat reminicent of the old British gentleman drinking his gin and tonic at "the club," unconcernedly overlooking the slums of Calcutta or Bombay in Rudyard Kipling's time. Merely allowing the Panamanians to fly their own flag is not enough to placate them, and justifiably so. Somewhere between the present arrangement and communist takeover, there lies an area where a solution to the problem can be found. Perhaps an international management of the Canal would be feasible: one in keeping with the first Hay-Paunce-fote Treaty of 1900 between the United States and Great Britain. This treaty specified that the Canal be open to all nations in peace and war, and guaranteed against political influence and territorial encroachments in Central America. Saber rattling and narrow self-interest do not provide solutions; they only invite disaster for even a well-meaning United States.

Can The U.S. Quell Communism Without Offensive Cuban Policies? snintiimniijrannnniiinnnimnitiiiiiiniiHHniiiimiiiiimiiiinnmtinirainro! kn Editors By George McMillan, Jr. There is only one power which can stop the spread of communism f r o m Cuba and that power is the United States. The U.S., however, cannot stop the Communist advance until it stops being more concerned about peace and mere existence than it is about its moral duty to support freedom. At present, the United States has no serious policy of any kind toward Cuba. The haphazard combination of air and sea surveillance plus halfhearted economic sanctions plus training of minor exile units plus occasional pin-pricking raids is in no wise a serious- policy. In fact these activities have not only failed to weaken Castro's regime, but in most instances have served to strengthen it. Cuba continues to develop as a center for Latin American revolutionary operations while we infuriate our allies and neutrals, by being a Castro whipping post. If we were going to get rid of Castro for now and forever, all well and good, as they see it. But if we are just playing around, what ,right do we have to tell them what credits their banks may give or what cargo their ships may carry? "After all, we sell wheat to Russia. Misconceptions about Cuba are current in this country, a m o n g anti-communists as well as "co-existers." The Cuban economy is- in bad shape and many Cubans are hungry; however, it does not follow that Castro is on the brink of collapsing. On t h e contrary, his regime is rapidly becoming firmly entrenched. Its armed forces - are well-equipped and formidable, and have been getting first class training. Cuban leadership has had several years to perfect defensive strategy and tactics suited to their locale and to prepare the revolutionary offensive that is being directed throughout the Caribbean basin. Castro and his henchmen are not going to collapse because of their own weight nor from external half-measures. T he potential unrest is present, but it will not open into active rebelliousness without a real prospect of success — particularly with the Bay of Pigs slaughter, quite fresh on the Cuban's minds. Castro's regime is shaky a n d might crumble fast once it started, but a push will be needed too big for .anything short of U.S. pow;er to propel. ThWty-S. doesn't necessarily have to make an all-out invasion of Cuha Milder forms are still available, such as the motions of a nominally exile landing, declaration of new government- which requests aid, recognition by Washington and immediate response to request. Recent OAS demands for action tq get rid of Castro add another. bright prospect—that of joint action between t he U;S. and a number of the Caribbean countries. How this problem is solved is of b u t secondary importance; the crux of the matter is to eliminate Castro and his regime through quick decisive action. When that is done, the results will be accepted. And the idea that the action—if done with speed and skill— will project into nuclear war is outrageous. Khrushchev w i ll not sacrifice Moscow for Havana. As the noted columnist James Burnham has said, "There is no solution for the Cuban problem other than the ousting of the communist regime. The evidence shows that we cannot stabilize a coexisting situation. The continuation of the regime progressively undermines our strategic arid political situation within this hemisphere and our global prestige a n d influence." Wholesale Education . . \ The Tiger Of Ignorance Must fad; Should He Be Killed-Or Trapped? By John Dixon "Unless opportunity for education beyond the high school can be made available to all . . . then the American promise of individual dignity and freedom cannot be extended to all." This statement appears in a report issued last week by the Educational Policies Commission of t h e National Educational Association. Further on in its report t h e commission specifically states that it believes that the concept of free universal education should be extended to at least a hypothetical fourteenth grade. The result? Each person would be entitled to two years of college— without a n y personal expense involved. The EPC proposal recommends that this two-year program be aimed at a liberal arts curriculum. Undoubtedly this idea stems from the concept that more training in "thinking" is involved. They maintain that technical knowledge of "almost any specific skill is apt to become obsolescent.'* Reaction to their report is varied. In the current issue of Newsweek is the statement by a school superintendent in Long Island: "The problems are n o t insuperable. Such a system would ease the pressure on the colleges and also on a labor market that is already glutted with this a ge group. True, the EPC suggestion doesn't solve the problems of high-school dropouts, but you have to match that against the increased productivity we would get out of the ones that do go on." Opponents 6f the EPC proposal, as Newsweek relates, consider it "Utopian in an era when 35 per cent of American youth fail to finish high school." This writer is forced to agree at least in part with the latter group, who feel perhaps that the proposal is too radical and too wide-sweeping. The intent of the committee is indeed laudable: to upgrade the general level of education for the average citizen, a nd thereby solve a multitude of problems such as the increasing n u m b e r s of unskilled workers so detrimental to the labor pool. On the surface their solution might seem plausible, at least to the extent that this "educational level" w o u ld probably be raised slightly. Unfortunately, t h e i r program would involve astronomic expense in providing sufficient classrooms and instructors. The question must be raised: can these funds be put to a better use and still begin to raise the quality of the education offered at no cost to non-college students? Although the idea of Federal aid to education is undesirable to many, only a few will deny the benefits which could be derived if this money were applied to upgrading school facilities, raising teacher salaries riot to mention the possibility of increasing the number of Federal scholarships available to highly-qualified high school graduates. Such a program would boost the quality of nor-riial 12-year high school cur-riculums so that more could be offered to serious students who could have the | goal in mind of Federal assistance for their ventures into higher education. Also the better-qualified teachers who could be attracted by higher salaries very possibly might instill in the not so serious student a desire to continue his education, and consequently lower the current 35 per cent drop-out rate. It seems that the Educational Policies Commission of the National Education Association is trying to kill a tiger with a block-buster. Why shouldn't they re-examine their solution and then try trapping him simply with the tested net. BILLFOLD STOLEN been stolen from Mrs. Joyce Brlttain. The identification and personal papers contained in it A billfold containing $70 has are badly needed, and may be left ajt the Union Desk or returned by mail, no questions asked. Vil ews | By HARRY WILKINSON A little note arrived in the mail the other day which evoked the dissimilar responses of admiration and amusement from t h is corner. The note was a statement by Mr. J o hn G r e n i e r, titular head of Alabama R epublicans, that the talk and opinion polls i n d i-cating the p o l i t i c a l death of Sen. Barry Goldwater were nonsense. Grenier noted that the Junior Senator from Arizona was the people's "cherce" and would by popular acclamation or revival become the thirty-seventh president of the United States. The Odds Against . . . Even with all the political odds stacked against him, there was no other statement Grenier could possibly make. The story is a long and interesting one. Some months ago, and in spite of the warnings flashed by old-line republicans in Alabama, Grenier became the leading voice of what is known as the "Draft Goldwater Committee." It was by this action that Alabama Republicans became tied to the coattails of one man. Things rocked along smoothly for awhile. Despite such things as Goldwater's open support of the "March on Washington," Alabama republicans were fairly sucessful in endearing the senator to some segregationist forces in the state. And then President Kennedy was assasinated. The picture changed rapidly. In the first place, both Gold-water and President Johnson are from the Southwest. Many moons have passed since both parties^have nominated men, from the same section of the, fioud^rj;- ^PfograprJidally speak-" ing, Jdh5s8n is a. Southerner. One has to go back to the times* of Andrew Jackson to find an-, other man from this locale re-; siding in the big house on Pennsylvania Ave. Although these factors are politically relevant, they are not the primary bases upon which many forecasters are spelling doom for Goldwater's political aspirations. The essence of the situation may be derived from the fact that Goldwater's support lies where the votes aren't. One editor has noted that William Jennings B r y a n tried unsuccessfully three times to win the presidency with support from the Southern, desert, and mountain states. Herein lies the foundation of Senator Goldwater's claim to fame. State By State . . I If by any chance Goldwater should become the Republican nominee and carry Alabama, Georgia, Louisana; Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Maryland, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,. New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont; he still would not become President of the United States. These states constitute only 212 of the 270 electoral votes required for election. It is virtually inconceivable that Sen. Goldwater could carry all of these states. It is even more inconceivable that he could carry all of these states and others. Do not belittle the "prophets of doom" Mr. Grenier. History is on their side. It's a shame that John Grenier has built the 1964 success of Alabama's Republican Party on one man, but his courage is admirable. He is fighting the good fight to the very end. No one knows better than Mr. Grenier that there is no reward for the supporters of political losers. .. ( Sen. Goldwater isn't down for the count, but he's staggering on the ropes. State republicans are staggering with him. And as senior republicans in the state tried to tell Mr. Grenier, managers aren't supposed to get hit. { \ Fraternity Jewelry Salesman Relates History Of Pin Sales By SALLY QUILLIAN The Greek sorority or fraternity pin is a small but valuable item often acquired at college and prized forever. Each year over one thousand Auburn students order one of these items. An interview with E. B. Benson, Balfour representative for the past 46 years and official jewelry representative at Auburn for nine years, reveals the following trends and facts about t h e selection of pins by members of Greek organizations on campus. At Auburn, with 12 sororities and 25 fraternities, there are nine diamond-shaped pins, four shield-shaped, six with overlaid Greek letters, three crosses, and 15 others ranging from the shape of a heart- to Aladdin's lamp. Although the shape of the pin does not vary within any group, each member must individually decide on size, individual stones, color of gold, price to pay, and type of guard if purchased. PRICES Prices of pins range from badges at $5.50 to the most expensive pins for $250.00. The average amount spent at Auburn (not including the price of the guard) is around $35.00. However, many pins are sold in the price range of $75.00 to $100.00. More and more all-diamond pins are sold each year. These range in price from $175.00 to $250.00. In sales, white gold pins are more popular and more expensive. The difference between white and yellow gold is that all white gold is sold in 14 K and yellow gold comes in either 10 or 12 K. In certain organizations only yellow gold is permitted. STONES The jewels most frequently used today are pearls or some combination of pearls with other stones. The next most popularly used stone combinations are the sapphire in all sapphire pins, and third a combination of sapphires and diamonds. After these combinations, the most popular jewels are emeralds and opals. The popularity of stones is changing. Up until as few as three years ago blue sapphires were used extensively, but today there is a trend for other BOX BOUNTIFUL $2.00 PER IB. Deltod BeaMy Salon GLENDEAN SHOPPING CENTER We do complete beauty service. Experienced cosmotologists. Rebecca Todd Ruth Delamar We ore happy to announce two new additions: Joy Meyer Wanda Martin OPEN EVENINGS BY APPOINTMENT 8 8 7 - 7 4 8 0 colorful and bright stones as well. Boys tend to select more colorful combinations t h an girls who are content with conservative and less brilliant stones. Mr. Benson finds that one of his biggest jobs is helping a boy find the stone combination that he likes without using gaudy or clashing stones together. Relatively new in popularity are white sapphires. However, only eight groups on campus are allowed to use them because of national restrictions. The stone closely resembles the diamond to inexpert eyes, but lacks the diamond's color, brightness, and quality. Because some national headquarters feel that these s t o n e s "imitate" diamonds, their use is curbed. Stones not available in fraternity jewelry are topaz, amethyst, turquoise, and light blue sapphire. The first three of these are not used because they lack brilliance and therefore do not stand out enough, but the light blue sapphire is not used because of its inavail-ability on the market. LIMITED Certain groups are strictly limited to standard stone combinations! The available stones adhere to the colors of the organization and in most cases the one color stone may be used with either pearls or diamonds. The prices of individual jewels vary according to size and stone. In fratetrnity jewelry, according to value, diamonds a r e first; emeralds next; sapphires, rubies, and garnets, third; and then opals and pearls. Most pin orders include an order for the chapter guard. More plain guards are sold because of their relative inex-pensiveness. In yellow gold, single letter guards are $2.75 and two-letter ones are $4.75, but an additional one dollar is charged for each letter if white gold is used. For a jeweled guard with stones to match the combination in the pin itself, prices start at $7.75 for single letters, and $14.00 for double letters. A less expensive and smaller all-pearl guard is available for pins having a pearl combination.^ SIZES Fraternities usually h a ve three pin sizes to select, and sororities usually have one, but two at the most. Fraternities have large, regular, and small sizes, but practically all men today wear the regular size pin. Mr. Benson recalls the day when many overly proud fraternity men ordered the large size, known as the "swagger," and the wearer did just that, Mr. Benson says. Women who have a selection, most often select the miniature s i z e as opposed to the regular size. And when a man orders a pin especially for a woman, he will also select the miniature size.

Former Aubum Student Beginning Malaysian Peace Corps Assignment Theta Chi Begins Formal Season Auburn's winter social season began in a flurry of excitement last Friday night as Miss Elaine Lindsey, of Delta Zeta Sorority, was named Theta Chi Dream Girl for 1964 at the annual Theta Chi Dream Girl Formal. Dream Girl for 1963, Miss Carol Goodlett, led the dance, escorted by Otto Vollinger, vice president of the fraternity. Dream Girl finalists for 1964 were also included in the lead-out. They and their dates were Miss Lindsey, escorted by Ray McClendon; Joan Knight, escorted by Harry Strack; Cindy Kitchens, Joe Turner; and Carol Ball, Wayne Lee. Other fraternities and sororities will be turning the winter quarter into a constant stream of formals and houseparties in the weeks to come. 5^-THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, January 15, 19G4 Harold S. Kearns, Jr., an Auburn alumnus, has begun a two-year assignment as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sa-bah, Sarawak. He is one of 52 Peace Corps volunteers who left Jan. 2 for Sabah and Sarawek. These volunteers will begin work in the fields of education a nd rural community action. This group will join 88 other- volunteers already serving there. These areas are part of the newly formed Federation of Malaysia which incorporates the former country of Malaya and the territories of North Borneo and Sarawak. The Government of Malaysia is engaged in a major effort to develop the potentials of its peoples and its resources. However, as a newly developing country, Malaysia has a severe shortage of trained personnel. The Peace Corps Volunteers with thejr diversified skills are helping to fill this need. These Americans will serve as teachers to assist in preparing future leaders, and as agricultural extension workers in rural communities. They trained almost three months at the University of Hawaii in the local version of t h e Malayan language, in the area's culture, LETTER TO. THE EDITOR An Open Letter To Mr. Franklin Editor, The Plainsman: An Open Letter to Mr. Harold Franklin: Welcome to Auburn, the lov-liest village of the plains. You entered our midst one in ten thousand, with head erect and quiet dignity. Many of us walked wiSh you and were proud of you. It is not a hostile environment that you entered, but rather one where unfami-liarity coupled with self-consciousness make initial overtures difficult. Be patient with us as I believe we shall be with you. You come here to study and learn. That is why all of us are here. It is hard work even for the strong. It takes time, quiet, and peace of mind. These we can give you. You are in the Auburn family now. You share its triumphs and fine traditions. All we ask is that you grow to the best of your abilities. The path to understanding is infinitely long and tortuous. Yet the journey can be made reasonably pleasant. At first, while you are strange and novel, we shall smile a greeting, nod our heads, and say, "Hey." With a little practice this will be so easy that we shall stop and talk with you. Perhaps a cup of coffee, or lunch at the cafeteria. These will be so easy that no longer will you be one in ten thousand, but just another struggling student trying to make the grade. Here's to anonymity, Harold. Cheers. Dr. Paul P. Budenstein Dept. of Physics AVA NOTICE The Auburn Veterans' Association will meet Jan. 21 at 7:30 p.m. in the Union Building.

Coach "Swede" Is Tops An athletic coach with a record of 141 wins, only 15 losses, and five draws? Sounds unlikely, doesn't it? 141-15-5 . . . those combined figures look even more unbelieveable. But that is the record of Arnold "Swede" Umbach, head wrestling coach at Auburn ever since he organized the wrestling team in 1946. What's more, three of those losses were sustained the first year Coach Umbach organized his near-all-winning i squad. "We didn't start work until after Christmas that year, and the other schools we wrestled had teams for many years previously." said Umbach. So discount that first novice year and the slate is 140-12-5. And that, friends, looks almost unbelievable to me. Arnold Umbach, one of Auburn's real claims to fame in the sports world, is actually a product of Oklahoma, the "Sooner State." He began wrestling at Oklahoma State University, when it was but a prep school. Jokingly trying to hide his age, the genial "Swede" said that he "began wrestling in the '20's." Finishing high school, he moved on to Southwestern State College in southern Oklahoma and began a fantastic college career. Learning under the tutelage of the late E. C. Gallagher (Oklahoma State coach from 1916-1940), he began his assault on collegiate records at Southwestern. Umbach was the champion of the whole state of Oklahoma (that was then, as now, the renter of collegiate wrestling) for each of his four college years (1924-1927). "No," he answered to our query, " I didn't enter the NCAA championships." We were momentarily shocked. "They didn't even begin the NCAA wrestling championship matches until 1928," he smiled. Varsity Wrestlers Open Season Against Tech In Sports Arena Star Grapplers Dot Tiger Lineup For Initial SEIWA Mat Contest By JAMES DEMBOWSKI The Auburn Tigers wrestling team will take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacftets in the Sports Arena Saturday at 7:30 p.m. This will be the Tiger's second and the Yellow Jacket's fourth match of the current wrestling season. Nothing But Wins Since leaving Southwestern, Coach Umbach has left a trail of successful coaching stands behind him. He coached high school football in Oklahoma for 14 years, where he had the destinction of winning over 100 games. Leaving his native "Sooner" land, he moved to William and Mary College where he was an assistant football coach from 1941-1944. That same year, 1944, was a fateful day in the history of War Eagle athletics: Arnold Umbach and his family moved to the Lovliest Village where he joined the war-weakened Tiger football machine as an assistant coach. ' ^ ^ . After establishing the first Tiger /K llm wrestling squad in 1946, Umbach was • 'f c ^ the founding father of the Southeastern Amateur Athletic Union in 1947. However, the league was reorganized in 1953 and is nd%- known as the Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association. The Auburn grapplers have completly dominated the SEIWA championship matches, winning every year (17) since it was organized. According to Coach Umbach, the SEIWA covers all schools located tn states represented in the Southeastern Confer - UMBACH ence- Since 1928, Oklahoma State has dominated intercollegiate wrestling at the NCAA level, but at the same time "Swede" Umbach has held a strangle-hold on Southern intercollegiate grappling. Although Auburn has never been represented at the NCAA meet by av team, several outstanding individuals have carried War Eagle colors to the national matches. In 1953 Dan McNair from Auburn was responsible for Penn State winning the national title from Oklahoma State (and OSU hasn't lost the NCAA title but a half-dozen or so times since 1928). In the finals, NcNair defeated an OSU man to throw the winning points to Penn State. Sonny Dragoin, who now coaches the Tiger golf team, finished fourth in the NCAA finals. Incidently, Dragoin had only wrestled for three years, (under Coach Umbach), whereas his competitors had all wrestled for seven or eight years (including high school). That was back in 1952—before Dragoin returned to Auburn to join the coaching staff. After helping Umbach with the frosh grapplers for several years, Coach Dragoin now handles the golf team in addition to teaching. Many Years, Many Honors . . . Many honors have come his way since "Swede" Umbach settled on the Plains. One of his prized possessions is a plaque from the Helms Hall of Fame, denoting him as one of the outstanding coaches in the nation. He was selected for this honor in 1961. Also, he now serves on the selection board of this same organization. Another national honor was bestowed on Coach Umbach in 1962 when he was tapped for membership in the Century Club. He was selected by virtue of having won over 100 contests in wrestling, as well as for having posted over 100 victories as a high school football coach. In addition, Umbach served as president of American Wrestling Coaches Association in 1955. He is also a member of the NCAA rules committee, as is Coach Wilbur Hutsell (Auburn's retired track mentor). To us, though, one of the most amazing things about Coach Umbach is his ability to recruit. Although Auburn gives absolutely no scholarships to wrestlers, almost all of the teams that the Tigers beat year after year offer scholarships to their grapplers. Umbach's profound ability tb develop boys into top wrestlers is expounded in his book "Successful Wrestling," which was printed in 1953. We were absolutely astounded when Coach Umbach told ur, about wrestling out in Oklahoma. "The Oklahoma-Oklahoma State match last year drew over 8,000 people," he said, "and they charge about $2 per seat." The NCAA tournament last season attracted over 25,000 fans to its four sessions. "And that was during spring vacation, when there were no students on the (See page 8, column Ty TIGER WRESTLERS Mark Hyman (left), Jim Welling-ham (center), and Henry Starns (right) talk over strategy as they prepare for Georgia Tech.

AUBURN CAGERS FACE ALABAMA, READY TO HALT LOSING STREAK -V Parker's American Service Station HULAND L. PARKER Phone 887-6221 EAST GLENN AVE. & DEAN ROAD AUBURN, ALABAMA By GERALD RUTBERG Disappointing Alabama confronts depth-shy Auburn this Saturday evening at the Coliseum in Montgomery in an SEC contest scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Prior to the 1963-64 season, Alabama was touted as a very formidable darkhorse to place at or near the top in this year's title chase. However the Tide has not lived up to expectations, posting a mediocre 8-6 record overall for their first fourteen games. For Auburn, now 5-6 on the season, finding adequate.)ben;c:h strength to spell the starting quintet has been the major dilemma. In the Tiger's last outing, against Florida, five Plainsmen cagers played a considerable portion of the game with heavy foul loads and two Tigers fouled out early in the second half of play. Auburn lost the contest 63-46. Alabama's starting lineup will include last year's sophomore sensation at the center's position, Bob Andrews, now a lanky junior who may have a special incentive in this year's intrastate clash. It was Andrews who muffed an under-the-bas-ket layup shot while completely unguarded in last year's first Tide-Tiger battle which forced the game into overtime. Auburn eventually won the game and later in the season the Tigers recorded another overtime triumph over the Crimson Tide. Other probable starters for Coach Haydon Riley's Crimsons include forwards Bob Perry and Bambi Howland, and guards Ken Moses and J. W. Berry. James Boothe • is also ticketed for game action. Auburn will counter with center Joel Newton, forwards Freddie Guy and Lee DeFore, and guards John Blackwell and Larry Chapman. Tommy Fibbe and Herbert Greene will also see duty for the Tigers. As the season progresses, the Tigers are gradually gaining experience, and while the Tigers may be slight underdogs according to pre-game sources, this unusual role may prove erroneous by game's end if Auburn has developed more quickly than the prognosticators seem to feel. It will be the Tigers first appearance in the state of Alabama since late December. A near-capacity crowd is expected for this annual dogfight, played at a neutral site to accomodate more patrons as well as to reduce the possibility of any hostilities erupting from such an intense rivalry.

At 191 pounds will be Brook Smith, a junior. SEIWA heavyweight champion John McAfee will be trying to repeat again this year. Although without the services of 147-pound champion Jeff Maurer, third-place 177- pound SEIWA winner Mike Bass and 191-pound Newell Miller, Coach Arnold Umbach says this year's team can tie or beat the record set last year of nine wins and a draw.

High point man for Auburn was Monk Montgomery with 20, followed by Bobby Buisson (See page 8, column 1) Big Gator Quintet Subdues Auburn By 63-46 Score By TED HILEY The Auburn Basketball Tigers went down to their second SEC defeat as the Florida Gators trirnmed them by a score of 63-46 in Gainesville on Saturday night. The Tigers, hitting at a 49.5 per cent field goal clip prior to the Florida game, could manage only 34 per cent of their shots in t h e first half while the Gators hit on 48 per cent of their efforts and took a 39-31 lead at halftime. Larry Chapman led the Tigers' first half scoring with eight points, all in the last four minutes of the period as Auburn cut the Florida lead from 15 to nine points late in the half. Chapman also led the Auburn rebounding for the period with five. Both teams opened slowly in a second half typified by cold shooting by Auburn as the Tigers went six minutes before hitting their first field goal. John Blackwell fouled out early in the second half and was followed to the bench by Newton and Guy as the Tigers accumulated fouls at a rapid rate and lost three starters to fouls. Chapman and Lee De- Fore each hit for six points in the last half as Auburn scored only 15 points in the last 20 minutes of play. Florida ran up a 19 point lead l a t e in the game, but goals by Chapman and DeFore closed the gap to 15. Larry Chapman was t h e leading point maker for Auburn with 14. Lee DeFore and Joe Newton each hit for nine points and Freddie Guy added seven. Johnny Blackwell picked up four fouls early in the game and was held to two points. Tommy Fibbe saw limited action but tossed in five points. Thomlinson led t h e Gator attack with 25 points. Florida's fine guard duo, Baxley and Henderson dropped in 13 and 10 points respectively. The Tigers will attempt to even their season record as they take on cross-state rivals Alabama in t h e State Coliseum next Saturday night in Montgomery. TOMMY FIBBE, a sophomore performing in the "sixth man" position for the basketball Tigers this season, is averaging 5.0 points per game thus far. He is expected to see extensive action when the rebounding Tigers clash with the Alabama cagers Saturday night at Montgomery. The younger brother of former Auburn all-SEC star Jimmy Fibbe, he is regarded as one of the best ball handlers on the young Tiger squad.

BURTON'S BOOK STORE "Kati - Ti Neon Kathe Mera." By TED HILEY Rebounding from their first loss of the season at the hands of Pensacola Junior College 74-61, Auburn's freshman basketball squad romped past Snead College by a score of 81-47 on Thursday night in the Auburn Sports Arena. In their pre-Christmas loss to Pensacola, the frosh were led in scoring by Jimmy Montgomery with 19 points. Tee Faircloth and Bobby Buisson added 12 points each. The Baby Tigers were hampered in their efforts by frequent fouls and lost three starters early in the second half against the tall Pensacola team. On Jan. 9, the Auburn frosh coasted to an 81-47 win against Snead College. Auburn trailed only briefly and after tying the score at 7-7, the Baby Tigers began to hit and opened up a sizable lead behind the shooting of Randy Thomas, Joe M i 11 s a p and Montgomery. Millsap with 21 points and Montgomery with 11 led Auburn to a 45-20 halftime lead. W i t h Montgomery hitting four quick field goals early in the s e c o n d half, Auburn lengthened its lead and held a 65-35 advantage midway in the second half. With 10 minutes remaining in the game, Coach Davalos sent in a new team to finish the game. Not always exhibiting polished play but always hustling, the subs paced by Edwards, Wilder, Butler, Milligan and Caru-thers pushed-the Auburn lead to 38 points late in the game and closed out the game with an 81-47 victory. Auburn's pressing defense, led by Bobby Buisson and Tee Faircloth, gave the Snead team very few good shots and forced the Parsons into numerous floor mistakes. With Randy battling aggressively, the Baby Tigers controlled t h e boards and gathered in most of the rebounds. "Joe Millsap paced the Auburn scoring with 22 points. Jimmy Montgomery hit for 19 and Randy Thomas added 13 as nine of the Baby Tigers hit the scoring column. J. Smith was the leading Snead scorer with 10 points, and was the only Parson to hit double figures. One HOUR "mmmum: CERTIFIES THE MOST IN DRY CLEANING - S P E C I A L - Thurs., Jan. 16 & Every Thurs.

A native of Cullman, Ala., he served three years in the Navy prior to enrolling at Saint Bernard College in Cullman for a two-year period. Coach Lynn has been associated With the "Loveliest Village" since 1948 in either a student or coaching capacity. The lanky Tiger mentor transferred to Auburn in 1948 and played center and forward for the next two seasons under Coach Joel Eaves. Upon graduation in the Spring of 1950, Coach Lynn was hired as freshman coach and Coach Eaves' assistant-everything in the fall of that same year. Married to the former Martha Hawthorne of Sylvester, Ga., Coach Lynn's family includes five children ranging in age from 11 years to seven months, or just enough to start a basketball quintet complete with coach and manager. "I find being head coach quite a bit different," says Coach Lynn of his new post. "Now all of the head coach's burden is on me." Speaking of this year's team, Coach Lynn stated that depth has been the primary problem. "At times we have played good ball, but several players are having to go all the way and foul troubles have resulted. We have yet to play forty minutes of consistently good basketball." While mentioning the problems which have plagued this year's team, Coach Lynn was quick to point out that he was sure the team would improve and had by no means given up their initiative. Asked to recall the best team to appear on the Plains during his sixteen year stint, Coach Lynn replied by claiming the famous "Seven Dwarfs" who captured the SEC crown in 1960 as the best basketball team ever to wear the orange and blue. "They were not big enough, but they were talented and also very smart," was the way Coach Lynn described that championship squad. As a matter of record, the Auburn team which Coach Lynn played on in his senior year owns the third best record in Tiger history in regard to wins and losses. At the present time there are but eleven cagers on the Auburn varsity, and according to Coach Lynn recruiting is the most essential factor in future success. Lack of having a better gym to play in has hurt the Plainsmen in recruiting outstanding prep cagers. With basketball patronage g r o w i ng throughout the South, Auburn will have to provide proper facilities and increased seating capacity for spectators to keep pace with other areas as a first rate competitor, as Coach Lynn sees it. He is looking forward to gaining varsity help from several freshman cagers and together with Coach Davalos the pair are making efforts to sign talented athletes from throughout the country wherever there is a chance of that person choosing Auburn. On Campus vtih (By the Author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boyil" and, "Barefoot Boy With Cheek.") A GUIDE FOB THE GUIDERS One of the most interesting academic theories advanced la many a long year has recently been advanced by that interesting academic theorist, E. Pluribus Ewbank, Ph. D. who holds the chair of Interesting Academic Theories at the St. Louis College of Footwear and Educational Philosophy. Dr. Ewbank said in the last issue of the learned journal, the Mount Rushmore Guide to Scholastic Advancement and President? Heads, that w« might be approaching the whole problem of student guidance from the wrong direction. ' Dr. Ewbank, a highly respected pedagogue and a lifelong smoker of Marlboro Cigarettes, (I mention Marlboros for two reasons: first, to indicate the scope of Dr. Ewbank's brainpower. Out of all the dozens of brands of cigarettes available today, Dr. Ewbank has had the wit and taste to pick the one with tb$ most flavorful flavor, the most filtracious filter, the most soft soft pack, the most flip top Flip Top box: I refer, of course, to Marlboro. The second reason I mention Marlboro is that I get paid to mention Marlboro in this column, and the laborer, you will agree, is worthy of his hire.) But I digress. To return to Dr. Ewbank's interesting theory, he contends that most college guidance counselors are inclined to take the easy way out. That is to say, if a student's aptitude tests show a talent for, let us say, math, the student is encouraged to major in math. If his tests show an aptitude for poetry, he is directed toward poetry. And so forth. All wrong, says Dr. Ewbank. The great breakthroughs, the startling innovations in, let us say, math, are likely to be made not by mathematicians—whose thinking, after all, is constrained by rigid rules and principles—but by mavericks, by nonconformists, by intuitors who refuse to fall into the rut of reason. For instance, set a poet to studying math. He will bring a fresh, unfettered mind to the subject, just as a mathematician will bring the same kind of approach to poetry. By way of evidence, Dr. Ewbank cites the case of Cipher Binary, a youth who entered college with brilliant test scores in physics, chemistry, and the calculus. But Dr. Ewbank forced young Cipher to major in poetry. The results were astonishing. Here, for example, is young Cipher's latest poem, a love lyric of such originality that Lord Byron springs to mind. I quote: He was her logarithm, She was his cosine. Taking their dog with 'em. They hastened to go sign Marriage vows which they joyfully shared, And wooed and wed and pi r squared. Similarly, when a freshman girl named Elizabeth Barrett Sigafoos came to Dr. Ewbank to seek guidance, he ignored the fact that she had won the Pulitzer prize for poetry when she was eight, and insisted she major in mathematics. Again the results were startling. Miss Sigafoos has set the entire math department agog by flatty refusing to believe that six times nine is 54. If Miss Sigafoos is correct, we will have to re-think the entire science of numbers and—who knows?—possibly open up vistas as yet undreamed of in mathematics. Dr. Ewbank's unorthodox approach to student guidance hat so impressed his employers that he was fired last week. He is currently selling beaded moccasins at Mount Rushmore. * * * We, the makers of Marlboro, know only one kind of guidance: the direct route to greater smoking pleasure.

While there I paid particular attention to the wrestlers. Among those working out for the team was 6'1", 215-pound, John McAfee. John, who reigns from Map-lesville, Ala., is a junior majoring in Physical Education. Many people know John better for his outstanding season at right tackle on the Tiger football team than for his wrestling ability. The first match for John this year will be Jan. 18 against Georgia Tech in the Sports Arena. Although he had never wrestled until'last year, John has compiled a remarkable record of wins with only two losses. He captured the Southeastern Conference Heavyweight Championship last year by defeating the former 191- pound, champion from Chattanooga. ; i According to Coach Umbach, John has made his own success as a wrestler. He praised John on t h e fact that he applied himself to learning the skills of wrestling quickly and com- YAF NOTICE Professor Raymond W.

Coach Umbach also stated that he thought John would have a better season this year than last year because he now has a year of experience to rely on. John, highly thought of by all his teammates, received high praise for his wrestling ability as well as his outstanding sense of humor. Known as the practical joker of the team, he is regarded as being aggressive, using wrestling skills, speed, desire and determination as well as muscle power to overcome his opponents. Sidle, Woodall Set Records Quarterback J i m m y Sidle added his name to every Auburn offensive record and place kicking specialist Woody Woodall set three new records and tied another in the season just completed. Sidle, a junior AU-American from Birmingham, set a new one year rushing record, gaining 1,006 yards on 185 attempts for a 5.4 yard average. A 6-2, 200-pounder, Sidle moved up to second in total offense for a career and second in total offense for one year. Jimmy gained 1,712 yards total offense in 1963, falling four yards short of breaking Travis Tidwell's record of 1,715 set in 1946. In total offense for a career, Sidle has gained 1,452 yards passing and 1,400 yards rushing for a total of 2,852. The all-time Auburn record is 3,- 820 yards set by Travis Tid-well who played four years, 1946-49. In individual rushing for a career, Sidle now ranks sixth. His 1,400 yards on 246 carries leaves him 613 yards short of the record held by Fob James (1,913) set from 1952-55. Woodall, a senior from Atlanta, broke Ed Dyas' career record by kicking. 19 field goals. Dyas' record was 17. In the PAT department, Woodall set a new record of 28 straight. He kicked 23 of 23 this year for a record of 100.0 per cent. And his 23 PATS in one season tied the record for the most PATs in one season. During Woodall's kicking ca-v reer, he provided the winning points in 10 games. And in the past two years, eight Auburn victories have come on points kicked by Woodall.

'Van Dyke Best' By Houston Vote Auburn's Bill Van Dyke has been voted by the Houston Cougars as the best lineman they faced in a representative schedule last season. Van Dyke received the a-ward for his efforts in Auburn's opening game victory over the Cougars last September in Houston where the Tigers triumphed by a 21-14 margin. In the Houston press release Van Dyke was referred to as "a stubby 205-pound guard, who made up for his lack of size with speed, agility and knack for hitting first and hardest.'.' When notified of the honor, Auburn Line Coach George Atkins stated that, "Bill is most deserving of any honors that come his way. He was easy to coach because he learned well and almost always led the Tiger linemen in everything they did.". Houston's schedule included contests with Mississippi, Mississippi State, Alabama, Memphis State, Baylor, and Tulsa. Memphis State's Tigers placed four men on the All-Opponent squad. in the Tigers' 23-21 victory over Tennessee. Against Kentucky he kicked both extra points in a 14-12 victory.
