WILLIAM E. LITTLE
Wrecks Kill One,
Hospitalize Two
During Holidays
One Auburn freshman was
killed and two seniors are hos­pitalized
from injuries they re­ceived
in automobile accidents
over the Thanksgiving holidays.
William E. Little, freshman
in forestry, became the third
student traffic fatality of the
quarter when he died from
head and neck injuries suffered
in a two-car collision near his
home town of Piedmont Sun­day.
Gary Winsett and Carroll
Lasater, both seniors in agricul­ture
from Hazel Green, are
listed in fair condition in
Huntsvillc hospital after their
car was involved in a head-on
collision near Guntcrsville.
Little died when the car he
was driving was hit from the
left side at the driver's door by
a car occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Lender Talton, also of Pied­mont,
at an intersection about
11 miles south of Piedmont,
according to Highway Patrol
report.
Mr. and Mrs. Talton were
also killed in the wreck. Both
were thrown from their car.
Lasater and Winsett were
hurt when the car Lasater was
driving collided head-on with
another vehicle which had
crossed into his lane on rain-slick
U. S. 431 about two miles
north of Guntersville, investi­gating
officials said. The acci­dent
occurred as they were en-route
home last Wednesday for
Thanksgiving holidays.
Lasater suffered facial in­juries
and Winsett sustained
fractured vertebrae and facial
lacerations.
THEY CAME TO GIVE AS A HUMANE GESTURE
1,112 Students Came To Support The Soldiers In Viet Nam
Vietnam Blood Drive
Breaks Campus
By BRUCE GILLILAND
"We were sick and tired
of hearing about. Berkeley
and the draft card burning.
We didn't like it . . . we
wanted to do. something
good for -a contrast." ,
These are the words of Joe
Busta, the boy who furnished
the spark to start a project that
ended in the most successful
blood drive in Auburn history.
Tuesday, in seven hours, 1,-
112 pints of blood were donat­ed
by Auburn students for the
"Blood for Vietnam" campaign.
This is a new- record for the
number of pints given in one
day at Auburn. This record
places Auburn at the top of the
list of colleges contributing in
this campaign.
Much of the credit goes to
Delta Chi fraternity. When
Busta suggested about, a month
ago that a blood drive be held,
everyone liked the idea. Tom
Lindsey, president of Delta Chi,
and a delegation went to Dean
Foy, who serves as the head of
the Auburn chapter of the Red
Cross. ' .
The idea was then taken to
Jim Rotch, chairman of the
Campus Drives Committee. He
presented it to the Senate which
gave a unanimous endorsement
of the project. Governor Wal­lace
offered the use of the Na­tional
Guard blood unit to help
with the drive.
Dean Foy contacted Mrs.
Rubye Hudson, executive sec­retary
of the Lee County Red
Cross, and arrangements were
made for the drive. The Bir­mingham
Regional Red Cross
sent personnel and equipment.
Over 50 students, mainly from
Delta Chi and Circle K worked
throughout the day to help
make the drive a success.
The blood drive began just
before 10 a.m. and by noon,
nearly 300 pints had been col­lected.
Shortly after 1 p.m. a
line formed which reached the
length of the Union lobby and
half the way back again. There
were the usual faintings, but a
nurse said that the number
wasn't too large. One boy faint­ed,
before the nurse could prick
his' finger.<
However, the vast majority of
the- donors had no trouble.
Although the drive was sup­posed
to end at, 5. p.m., it was
six before the last at the stu­dents
had given their blood.
Miss Mary Mathis, Red Cross
Field Representative from Bir­mingham
had this to say about
the drive:
"To me, it has been an out­standing
day. The spirit, the
hard working students, the co­operative
faculty, the interest
shown—all' have made this a
great day. . . . This is one of
the best organized and smooth­ly,
run drives I have ever
seen."
Bob Price, another member
of the group from Birmingham
said, "The spirit is just out of
the world." The general atti­tude
of the. students bears this
out.
One girl summed up the basic
idea behind the whole thing
when she said, "Well . . . I
think it's the least we can do.
They're over there giving their
lives for us. I just wanted to
do something to help."

Teacher Evaluation Is Underway;
Senate Distributes 20,000 Forms
Auburn's first campus-wide
teacher evaluation program in
over 15 years was inaugurated
Tuesday with the distribution
of. the Student Senate's "Stu­dent
Reaction To Instruction"
forms to over 300 instructors.
Approximately 700 question­naires
were sent to Auburn's
instructors prior to the Thanks­giving
break asking them to
participate in the voluntary
evaluation program. The 300 af­firmative
replies initiated the
distribution of 20,000 evalua­tion
forms with requests still
coming in, according to evalua­tion
committee member Wy-nona
Merritt.
This quarter's evaluation is
on a voluntary basis and the

An honorary Doctor of Science degree will be award­ed
Dr. Estes H. Hargis, a distinguished Auburn alumnus,
as 432 fall graduates receive degrees Dec. 16. Commence­ment
exercises are scheduled for 2:30 p.m. in the Stu­dent
Activities Building.
Dr. Hargis, a retired Bir- 1964-65 academic year. As a re-mingham
surgeon, d o n a t ed
$50,000 to the university in
1964 for the specific purpose
of establishing Auburn's first
permanently supported profes­sorship.
He made an additional dona­tion
for the first year's salary
supplement to assure establish­ment
of the professorship in the
suit, the first Hargis Professor­ship
of English and American
Literature was awarded last
fall to Dr. Eugene Current-
Garcia.
Candidates for undergraduate
degrees number 365, and ap­proximately
67 graduate de­grees
will be awarded. Though
this quarter's' total is smaller
than last fall's 443, the 1965
tally of 2132 will be the largest
in Auburn history. The pre­vious
high for a ^single year
was 1949 with 2103. In 1964,
2017 Auburn graduates received
degrees.
The commencement address
will be delivered by Dr. Wal­lace
M. Alston, Sr., president
of Agnes Scott College, Decatur,
Ga.
Commissioning exercises for
the three military branches will
be held at 9:30 a.m. in Langdon
Hall, and President and Mrs.
Philpott will host a reception
for graduates and their families
at 10:30 a.m.
tion of the forms will be left
entirely up to the individual
instructors, and they will be
the only persons to see the re­sults.
Some classes have al­ready
used the form.
Committee chairman Gayle
Marks explained that "this
quarter's evaluation is being
organized on more of an intro­ductory
basis to acquaint the
teaching staff of Auburn with
it and the benefits that can
result from it." We want to
prove our sincerity in promot­ing
the single main goal of the
program, the improvement of
the teaching level at Auburn."
Senator Ron Castille termed
the response by the faculty as
"very good for the initial dis­tribution.
Most of the instruc­tors
seem very receptive to the
whole idea, as ones who were
left out in the initial inquiries
are. requesting forms, but some
seem to still be a bit leery. We
eventually hope to see about 90
per cent participation by the
instructors. If both students and
instructors approach the eval­uation
program with a con­structive
attitude and an open
mind, we could obtain the most
significant possible effect on
teaching in Auburn's history."
The committee plans to fol­low
up the evaluation with a
critique by the participating

Dr. Tincher has directed for
the past 30 months. It will also

Dr. Tincher will work direct­ly
with the President's Office
in coordinating the functions of
these offices in which services
are closely related, Dr. Philpott

"These offices, working un­der

been administered with a great
degree of efficiency in the past.
However, the increasing re­sponsibilities

the need for closer coordination

University Announces Rescinding
Of Student Good Conduct Pledge
By JERRY BROWN
Managing Kilitor
The student conduct pledge,
which was required for regis­tration
winter quarter, 1964,
when Auburn admitted its first
Negro student, is no longer in
effect, Edwin Crawford, uni­versity
relations director, said
Wednesday.
His statement came after
rumors had circulated that
students could still be subjected
to administrative discipline for
any actions which might con­tribute
to disorder.
"Rules for student conduct
and discipline are outlined in
the Tiger Cub," Crawford said,
"They are always in effect."
"The pledge was designed to
insure orderly compliance with
the court-ordered integration
of the university," he said, "It
was in effect only for the winter
quarter of 1964."
Crawford further pointed
out that the required pledge
began "As a student of Auburn
University for the winter quar­ter,
I recognize the absolute
necessity for mere stringent
regulations governing student
conduct during this period of
potential crisis."
The pledge was mailed to
students with their registration
permits.

One of Dr. Tincher's first

Dr. Paul Haley Honored
Humanities Center Will Bear Trustee's Name
Dr. Paul S. Haley
The multi-story educa­tion-
liberal a r t s building
being planned for Auburn
will carry the name of Dr.
Paul Shields Haley, vice-president
to the Board of
Trustees on which he has
served for nearly a half-century.
President Harry M. Phil-pott
announced today that
the other members of the
Board have voted to ask the
Legislature's approval in nam­ing
the largest educational fa­cility
for its senior member.
Permission of the Legislature,
usually automatic in such cases,
is required in naming a public
facility in Alabama for a liv­ing
person.
The building to carry Haley's
name will be no less than eight
stories high and will serve as
an office and classroom facili­ty
for two of Auburn's largest
schools—Education and Science
and Literature. The $5 million
structure, to occupy the area
now utilized for tennis courts
on Thach Ave., is expected- to
be completed by the fall of
1968.
"Throughout his lifetime, and
particularly since his retire­ment
from the engineering pro­fession,
Dr. Haley has devoted
much of his time and personal
interest to the students and fa­culty
at Auburn," said Dr.
Philpott in making the an­nouncement.
"It is most appropriate that
this building, which will serve
every student at Auburn in the
future and a major portion of
its faculty, should carry the
name of the person whose life
has been dedicated to their ad­vancement."
Dr. Haley, now 85, has served
continuously on the Board since
1917 and as the Board's vice
president since 1947. During
his 48 years as a member, he
has missed only one meeting.
His continuous membership
stands as a record—not only in
Alabama, but nationally—which
led to his receiving in 1963 the
first "Outstanding Trustee"
award presented by the As­sociation
of Governing Boards
of State Universities and Al­lied
Institutions.
A native of Marietta, Ga., Dr.
Haley has resided most of his
life in Jasper where he was a
consulting civil engineer until
his retirement several years
ago.
After attending Jacksonville
State College, he transferred to
Auburn, where he was gradu­ated
with highest honor in 1901.
He attended Harvard for gradu­ate
studies after graduating
from Auburn.
In 1961 Auburn awarded the
honorary doctor of science de­gree
to Dr. Haley, citing him
for his devotion to the ad­vancement
of learning, defense
of academic freedom and ad­vocacy
of academic responsi­bility.
During Honors Day last
May, he was the recipient of
Auburn's Algernon Sydney Sul­livan
Award, presented an­nually
to two students and one
alumnus for outstanding ser­vice
to others.
A Mason and an active lead­er
in the Methodist Church, Dr.
Haley has served on the edi-

in English and music. His
graduate studies were in the
area of educational administra­tion
and supervision with em­phasis
on higher education stu­dent
personnel work.
Beginning his teaching career
in the public schools of Ken­tucky,
Dr. Tincher served as
supervisor of certification for
the State of Kentucky from
1953-56. During the following
year he was a research assis­tant
in the Bureau of School
Service at the University of
Kentucky, leaving in 1957 to
become director of student per­sonnel
and assistant professor
of education at Eastern Ken­tucky
State College. In the fol­lowing
year he accepted ap­pointment
to the AU School of
Education faculty.
Dr. Tincher holds member­ship
in numerous professional
and honorary organizations. He
currently serves as president of
the Alabama Guidance Asso­ciation
and as chairman of the
National Committee on Re­search,
Student Personnel As­sociation
for Teacher Educa­tion.
At Auburn he is vice pres­ident
of the Faculty Club and a
former member of the Auburn
University Faculty Council. In
1963-64 he was a member of
the "Committee of 42," a group
appointed to study and make
recommendations with respect
to Auburn'& public schools.
Dr. Tincher is married to the
former Virginia Strohmeier of
Frankfort. They have two sons,
Stephen Scott, 10 and John Ed­ward,
7.
He is a member of the First
Presbyterian Church at Auburn.
A former member and officer
of the Campus Christian Life
Committee, he currently serves

A $231r520 federal grant
announced last week by
Senators Lister Hill and
John Sparkman Will sup­plement
construction a nd
equipping of a Nuclear
Science Center, now under con­struction
here, according to Dr.
Warren Andrews, director of
the center.
Funds for the Auburn Grad­uate
Center for Research in
Nuclear Sciences are being pro­vided
on a one-third matching
basis. The grant has been auth­orized
under Title Two of the
Higher Education Facilities Act
of 1963 which provides for
graduate research and training
facilities.
The remaining two-thirds of
the cost is being supplied by
the Auburn Development Fund
which is composed of alumni
contributions-. No state funds
are being provided.
Dr. Andrews said a 1961 grant
from the National Institute of
Health will cover the cost of
health-related research facili­ties.
The federal grant will sup­plement
remaining expenses.
Construction of the $1.4 mil­lion
center "is running a little
behind schedule," said Dr. An­drews,
but completion is ex­pected
"next summer."
"We are very pleased to re­ceive
the grant," Dr. Andrews
added, "and we hope it will
make Auburn's new facility
more complete and thereby
make Auburn a greater univer­sity."

Management Club
Changes Schools
The student chapter of the
Society for Advancement of
Management (SAM) is under
new sponsorship, moving the
department of industrial engi­neering
to the department of
economics. and business admin­istration.
According to chapter leaders,
the change in sponsorship was
made because of the replace­ment
of the industrial manage­ment
program with industrial
engineering and because of the
increase in emphasis on man­agement
training in the depart­ment
of economics and business
administration.
The change also resulted in
a new faculty advisor, Dr. John
F. Henry, associate professor of
economics, who has accepted
the position succeeding Prof.
C. N. Cobb, professor of indus­trial
engineering.
Cobb has served as advisor
since the Auburn chapter was
chartered in 1947. During the
last seven years under his ad-visorship
the S.A.M. chapter
has finished no lower than
third place in national' compe­tition
with more than 200 other
university chapters.

Student Hero Awarded Medal
By RAY WHITLEY
Jacob H. Van Roekel, an Au­burn
student in the Air Force
Institute of Technology pro­gram,
received the Airman's
Medal for his outstanding hero­ism
from Lieutenant General
John W. Carpenter III, Com­mandant,
Air University, Max­well
AFB, during a review of
ROTC units here Thursday.
This award, one of the high­est
presented by the Air Force,
went to Van Roekel for his ac­tions
involving the voluntary
risk of life at Lake Yosemite,
California on April 11, 1964.
According to the citation, Van
Roekel, although a poor swim­mer,
unhesitatingly went to the
aid of a distraught mother who
was already in the waters of
the lake attempting to rescue
her small child. He persisted in
his efforts until both mother
and child were safely ashore.
The general also presented
U.S. Air Force Commendation
Medals to Major Ollie H. Ed­wards,
Major G e n e r a l W.
Zinkan, Captain William Miller,
Captain Frederick R. Nordin,
and Captain Gerald E. Paul
who are all AFIT students here.
Staff Sergeant Charlie P.
Rodgers III, who is a member
of the AF-ROTC Detachment
here also received a commen­dation.
STUDENT INJURED
An Auburn student suffered facial and feet injuries in
an accident Tuesday afternoon at the E. Thach Ave.-Arm-strong
St. intersection. Injured was William R. Eades III,

A Hand For Responsibility
We were pleased to learn that the
student conduct pledge required for
registration winter quarter 1964 has
been rescinded.
At the time it served its purpose
adequately. It was to call to the at­tention
of students the necessity of re­maining
calm in face of possible inci­dents
as Auburn admitted its first Ne­gro,
Harold Franklin.
The student-written, student-spon­sored
pledge was an added safeguard
to the rules of conduct and discipline
Putting Out The "A
found in the Tiger Cub student hand­book.
It was well understood at the
time but has maintained a hazy, un­certain
status for the past 20-odd
months.
Auburn students and Alabama citi­zens
braved what could have been a
real crisis with dignity and decorum,
pledge or no pledge.
We are pleased that,the University
recognized the responsibility shown
here and in light of this rescinded that
pledge.
ft Arr
Fall, the football quarter has slip­ped
by once again and it is time for
The Plainsman to print it's traditional
"A."
This "A" is dedicated to students
who's only occassion to see one was
on the jacket of a passing athlete, to
those stodgy professors who cringe at
the thought of awarding one and lastly
to everyone who has attained the sta­tus
which merits one an "A, C and D"
parking sticker.
For the new student who has not
yet learned to study (and the 15th
quarter men who share the same ex­periences)
your chances of "lucking
out" on finals seem pretty slim. '
As finals approach, we remind you
that in the recent past according to our
calculations about 15 per cent of the
student body will receive lower grades
as a direct result of theste exams. Close
to 80 per cent will maintain the aver­age
they had going in to the final and
no more than 5 per cent will suc­ceed
in raising their grades.
Unfortunately for most, the die is,
cast and all the energy, dex, and cof­fee
they expend will yield few results.
The sacrifice of study time for
bright lights, fraternity parties, foot­ball
games and just wasting time may
have been a more costly frivolity than
we now realize.
We hope that you will not be one
of the 200 to 300 students who for aca­demic
reasons will leave us this quar­ter.
A day or two of review and con­centration
before finals may secure
that 3.00 you've always dreamed of.
A day of play could bring a quick
ticket to Vietnam.
A Better 'Spirit'
May the cries of "Where is the Au­burn
spirit?" die on the lips of those
who continue to harp on it.
Auburn students have proven that
"spirit" (or whatever it is that unites
a group) is more than football hoopla
and running to the Student Activities
Building for the weekly fall exercise
of one's vocal cords.
They demonstrated it Tuesday
when Auburn set the national record
for pints of blood given in one day by
any University in the United States.
They weren't doing it for a trophy or
to see who could get the most atten­tion
from the press. Each of the 1112
who donated and the 70 to 100 more
who tried but could not give, is a
noble, patriotic soul—part of a dying
breed—who through minor personal
effort may extend the life of some oth­er
noble young fighter. In the light of
their deeds, fall quarter's football "spi­rit"
and the gaudy facades surrounding
it made into their proper perspective.
It is good; this kind is better.
Sympathy, Admonition, Best Wishes
Again, we must report the death of
one student and the serious injury of
two additional ones due to automobile
accidents occurring over the Thanks­giving
holidays.
To the family of William E. (Eddie)
Little, we extend heartfelt sympathy
in the loss of a fine young man whose
life was taken before it had truly be­gun.
. To ex-Plainsman staffer Gary Win-sett
and Carroll Lasater, a speedy re­covery

journey home, a holy and happy
Christmas, and a sincere admonition to
drive carefully.
night while I try desperately to
memorize geography maps or
w r i t e Plainsman columns—
these lead the list. Giving them
a close race for second are in­secure
loud-mouths whose one
thrill in life is trying to trip
teachers and fellow students by
twisting their words and asking
stupid questions. "Friends" who
shout personal questions in the
Union Building across four to
six tables stir my blood to a
quiet simmer.
It was while I was wallowing
in the refreshing bath of self-pity
that I encountered the con­fessions
of author Leo Rosten
and found that I am not alone.
Says Rosten, "It is because I
believe in discriminating that I
pity those who don't. They
don't gain the rewards of selec­tivity
because they make no
distinction between one Catho­lic
or Protestant or Jew (or
Mormon or doorman or fore­man)
and another."
The prejudiced man, we a-gree,
practices the rankest form
of n o n - discrimination: "He
hates people he hasn't even met
yet. This is the worst possible
way of hating—especially when
there are so many sound, 100
per cent American reasons for
hating."
The razor'tongued money-grubbing
bigot who makes, a
federal case out of going to
church on Sunday is thorough­ly
detestable. But mercifully,
he compliments his closed mind
with a closed mouth.
More sickening than the bigot
is the fanatic. His mind and
his mouth indistinguishable.
here, there and yon with a
sword, a program and a luna­tic's
disease. This person is
piteable.
No one can deny an indivi­dual
the absolute right to
choose his friends or assume'
the right to monitor his dinner
guests or tell him who must be
included on his next water-ski
excusion to Lake Martin. But,
there is no defense for discrim­ination
in public places or tax-supported
institutons. It is a
matter of private privilege but
not public policy.
Rosten tells of a committee
he once served on: "We were
going through a long list when
the name of John B came
up. 'Not him,' I groaned. 'He's
stupid.'"
After the discussion a woman
with blazing eyes approached
him. " 'You . . . prejudiced!
You ought to be ashamed of
yourself! John B ! How
could talk that way about a
Negro?!'"
After a string of Victorian
epithets Rosten replied, "I had
forgotten he's a Negro. I was
judging him as a man. . . . He
is stupid. He would be if he
were white or red or yellow or
as green as you look this mo­ment."
Like Rosten, I too, would
"gladly send flowers to a ny
psychiatric ward that incarce­rated
George Lincoln Rock-
Well." I would consider a per­sonal
privilege and a favor to
the nation to earn the tuition,
room and board for Martin Lu­ther
King's admittance to the
state hospital at Milledgeville.

A Few Parting Words
As I Leave The Plains
By Don Phillips
Tantrums Over 'Taboos'
Or Snoddy Rides Again
By Diane Snoddy
Taboos of the World, a flick which recent­ly
played at one of Auburn's two, illustrious,
swap-out-over-the-holidays, opera houses, was one of the most
humane and patriotic pieces of art ever produced. It's rumored
to have won the Auburn University Conservative Club's "most
patriotic movie of the year" award. And it's also rumored that
the student body executive socialistic Swedes held college
board turned out en masse from
Redneck's Ville . . . and you
know the old saying—as the
Auburn University Exec's go
so goes society, worse luck.
The only bad thing about this
movie is that it was OBSCENE
. . . It was. In fact, the flick was
so OBSCENE that if I were a
War Eagle Girl I'd feel com­pelled
to march against it,
carrying a sign about how I'd
rather bitch than go to see ob­scene
movies. And what was
obscene' about Taboos of the
World? Cow dung. That's right;
it actually showed pictures of
foreigners molding the stuff to
use as fuel . . . I'd rather freeze,
myself.
And there were ta'ttoes in the
picture too. Obscene tattoos. Not
just little common, decent, even
sweet, tattoos of a heart and
mother and all, like us decent,
intelligent Americans get cut
into us; but stupid and ugly tat­toos.
And it showed how those
lectures about sex. To me
that's obscene. Now, everyone
knows it isn't Christian to tell
about sex. (Damn those people
who have illegitimate children
and damn those illegitimate
children.)
But as I said, the Vincent
Price-narrated movie was hu­mane.
It made us Americans
feel sorry for those ignorant
foreigners who made their war
veterans and cripples stand on
corners singing songs for
money. Those people at least
are given the right to sell pen­cils
and stuff in the good old
USA.
Taboos of the World, which,
properly named, should read,
"what Americans think should
be taboo in the rest of the
World," was a horror movie
pure and simple. It showed
some pretty horrible practices
of foreigners . . . sorta made one
glad to be an American.
Oh say can you see, beyond
the dawn's early light. . . .
In every college journalist's life there
comes that time when he must turn in his
last piece of copy. This is mine. | •
I leave the Plainsman, and Auburn, with mixed emotions.
Like all seniors I am well past ready to leave. But I will miss
the constant deadlines, 2 a.m. coffee at the Kopper Kettle, pizza at

Pose Campus Problem

A Look At Christmas
Amid the bustle of preparing for
finals, buying of little gifts and liquor,
and escaping the death throes of grade
point averages, we approach, again, the
Christmas season.
Fat Santas with commercial gleams
in their eyes will lead children to line
toy manufacturers pockets; students
will hope for "White Christmas" ro­mances
and parties; parents will even­tually
grit their teeth over short
money. The "spirit of Christmas" will
pass away with the rotting of wreaths
and the stowing away of silver bells
and tinsel.
There are other ways to look at the
festival. Christmas come, by no coinci.
dence, at a time when the initial bleak­ness
of winter's blast envelopes land­scape
and people. It is warmth and
joy; it is a promise that a spring em­bryo
waits to develop into new life.
It also reminds man that a Child came
to sustain him through tempests, to
validity his good works, and to offer a
final reward.
This is the deeper meaning of
Christmas.
It is easy to forget this meaning
through the hustle. It is easy to forget
that Christmas is a promise of more
than one sort of spring.
It is a time for fellowship and fri­volities,
of course; but it is also the
birth of hope when hope is sorely
needed.
Perhaps it might benefit the world
if we all stopped for a little while and
thought about it.
Have a Merry One. —Jerry Brown
cisions, the many crises, the
political and ideological bull
sessions, the bull sessions when
our minds weren't exactly on
serious subjects. Most of all,
I will miss the people who have
been a part of the last five
years.
Everywhere I walk these last
few days I see the ghosts of
days now gone, from the little
room at the Bulletin Publishing
Company where I started my
career to the basement of Sam-ford
Hall where my full time
dedication to the paper ended.
Some days are permanently
burned into my memory. Take
that hopeless afternoon a
couple of years ago when Har­ry
Wilkinson, George Gardner
and I sat with our chins prop-ed
on a windowsill on the third
floor of the Union and watched
the flag on Samford lawn lower
to half-mast for John Kennedy.
Or the night I won the election
no one thought I could win,
much less myself. The people
who encouraged and worked
for me will never be forgotten.
Neither will I forget the pro­fessors
who inspired me, the
critics who kept me on my toes,
nor the many friends who help­ed
me over the many rough
spots.
There were times, which still
make me shudder, when I al­most
compromised my journal­istic
ethics. Like the time we
printed the story of the coed
who lost a gigantic lawsuit over
a boating accident.
The story had been printed
in all the state papers, but
when it appeared on the Plains­man's
front page, she apparent­ly
broke into tears and let her
friends know why. The paper
was descended upon from all
directions by people demanding
an apology. Under the pressure
of feminine tears (we truly felt
sorry for the girl), we almost
gave in.
But the "two of us in charge
found that we could not apolo­gize
for printing the news. And
God help the Plainsman if it
ever feels like apologizing for
printing the truth no matter
what the situation.
The last five years have been
rough ones for the Plainsman.
We have been called- every
name in the book,, from rabble
rousers to that ultimate of- all
smears, Communists. Politici­ans,
including governors, have
taken a personal interest- in
what we have had to say, try­ing
in numerous ways to shut
us up when we dared to print
something which went against
the p,arty line.
They learned, however, that
the Plainsman and the influen­tial
people who supported us
would not be intiminidated.
And today the Plainsman is one
of the most free papers in the
South. No one outside the im­mediate
student staff has any
say whatsoever about what
goes into the Plainsman.
There have been mistakes
and shortcomings, of course.
There are many columns I wish
I had written, many stories I
wish I had looked into more
closely. But a journalist can­not
allow himself to dwell on
his mistakes.
Perhaps what I appreciate
most during my time at Auburn
are the people who disagreed
with me and bothered to look
me up to argue their point.
They are thinking. And that
was my purpose all along, to
stimulate thought, never to
indoctrinate. There are two
classes of human beings for
whom I have no respect—the
man whose convictions change
every time the going gets rough
and the man who dogmatically
closes his mind to all change.
If I could give a last bit of
parting advice to the Auburn
student, it would be: Don't
Waste Time. When you raise
hell, really raise hell (using a
certain amount of judgement,
of course). And when the time
comes to study, pick up every
scrap of knowledge you can.
Don't simply breeze through
school in an easy but unin­teresting
curriculum. Remem­ber
that you will never pass
this way again.
As for Auburn itself, it is a
strange feeling to see so much
you fought for suddenly and
easily coming true because of
one man—Dr. Harry M. Phil-pott.
Auburn is more fortunate
., There is one major physical problem on
* * our campus that is causing no end of head­aches
and is growing more acute every day. All we have to
do is to look around us- and the problem is very much in evi­dence:
it is the flood of auto traffic and what to do with it.
I was almgst struck by the magnitude of this problem while
trying to cross Thach Ave. on
my way to class. It took al­most
five minutes of waiting
before .there, was a break in
the stream of traffic traversing
the street. If it was that bad
on tne sidelines, it must have
been even worse for the driv­ers
in the street. Traffic was
slow, the streets were con­gested,
and parking places
seemed to be at a premium
with drivers nastily eyeing the
pedestrians using the ex-park-that
it yet knows.
And now what I have to say
is personal. It is addressed to
present and to future Plains­man
staffs.
The freedom you enjoy now,
my friends, was bought with
a price. Never abuse it nor al­low
it to slip from your fingers.
Always be fair and responsible
in your news coverage. Be di­rect
and positive and virile in
your editorial policy, but ,be
careful to see that other view­points
are represented some­where
in the paper. Always be
ready to go to bat for the in-,
dividual student, for as Auburn
grows, you will be his last line
of defense from bureaucratic
injustice. Never back away
from a fight.
It is doubtful that the old
days of overt administrative
and political abuse will return
to the Plains, but always be
prepared. A new kind of dan­ger
presents itself now—com­placency.
Always be dissatis­fied,
no matter how good things
may get.
Dr. Philpott is smart enough
to keep you on his side most
of the time, and you will be
tempted to overlook stories
which need to be written, for
his sake. Your greater duty,
however, is to the student body.
I hope that over the past few
years I have given you as much
as you have given me. To elabo­rate
on that would require
volumes.
It has been a good five years.
ing zone, now-walkway in
front of the Child Study Cen­ter.
Auburn's traffic problem is
compounded by the fact that
we are geographically in the
middle of nowhere and cars
are a necessity. There are no
large cities nearby and major
modes of transportation are
sadly lacking. Auburn is too
small to warrant a bus line and
almost too small to rate bus
service to the city. Therefore
cars are needed as a means just
to get home. To rule out cars
for any segment of the student
population is to almost force
the student to stay at Auburn.
In Auburn a good majority
of students and instructors live
outside the limits of "walking
distance" from the campus, not
so much by choice, but rather
due to the housing spread.
These people have to drive
their cars to the campus.
The underlying p r o b l em
then, is the lack of concen­trated,
adequate parking space
to handle the vast amount of
cars. This leaves many cars on
the street in search of a park­ing
niche, negating the effec­tiveness
of the traffic control
system, and causing, the typical
creeping lines of traffic.
An on-campus transportation
system has been offered as the
solution to the problem but
this is merely a pipe dream.
The only persons who would
use the system are those that
walk now, and the buses or
what have you would be anoth­er
impediment to the flow of
traffic. Only a transportation
system that threads the Auburn
community, allowing cars to be
left at home, would be effec­tive,
but it would cost a great
deal and would lead to licens­ing
difficulties and other prob­lems.
Is there any hope? Since the
campus will now go upwards
rather than outwards, maybe
the parking areas should do
likewise. Ramps could facili-

Reduces Papers
To A Pravda
By Sansing Smith
Morrie Ryskind doesn't write
for the Los Angeles Times Syn­dicate
any more. He quit his
job a few weeks ago—all be­cause
of a somewhat nostalgic
column writ­ten
with a
fatherly sort
of honesty
w h i c h
woul d n ' t
seem so all-fired
contro-v
e r s i a l to
people out-s
i d e the
journalis t i c
world.
H e sub­mitted
his column as usual
to the syndicate and was in­formed
by the L. A. Times that
it would not be carried in the
Times because the editors dis­agreed
with it so vehemently.
But this was not Ryskind's
argument. The Times itself, of
course, had a perfect right to
disagree and even not to run
the column in its pages. The
Times Syndicate, however, also
refused to send the piece out
to the 30 or more papers that
subscribe to Ryskind's column
—thus imposing its own edi­torial
policy on the other pa­pers
across the nation without
giving their editors a chance to
agree or disagree with the
column.
So Ryskind decided to resign
from column writing.
The point so vehemently ob­jected
to was Ryskind's belief
that news columns should be
distinct from the editorial
pages.
Ryskind's editorial begins
with the questions of a high
school journalism student ask­ing
him to tell her what is
wrong with "interpretive" re­porting.
"Well, missy . . ." he ans­wers,
"to me, any editorializ­ing
in the news columns is the
equivalent of breaking the Hip-pocratic
oath: it was regarded
as a cardinal sin in my days at
theSSWilHfcia S&iopl of Journ-a)
isM"
Ryskind fondly recalls those
good old days when all that
reporters were after were "the
facts, ma'am, just the facts."
"If it's a murder, I want to
know who killed whom and
when and how before I listen
to either prosecution or de­fense
. . . Weave any opinions
into a , news column and you
have not a newspaper but a
Pravda."
Personal opinion in news
stories is still listed in journal­ism
texts as a violation of the
journalism code of ethics. Yet,
more and more, by giving back­ground
information and specu­lation
on results, the reporter
is drawing his own conclusions
—and so many readers take
what is printed in the news­paper
as gospel.
Television newscasting, which
is also part of journalism, is
just as guilty. Not so very long
ago Mike Wallace (who is Mike
Wallace?) was quoting polls on
the New York City election and
ended by preaching about how
William Buckley was killing
the GOP chances. It seems like
they might learn someday —
after strangling on a few good
gulps of their own words.
Somewhere somebody has his
wires crossed. As dogmatic
newsmen blunder forward with
their rash predictions, not giv­ing
the reader credit for enough
sense to form his own opin­ions,
honesty a n d objectivity
get shoved into a little mouse
hole.
Opinions, opinions, opinions,
they are all over the straight
news pages. But one editor's
opinion barred one columnist's
opinion from its rightful place
on editorial pages all over the
nation.
Morrie Ryskind doesn't write
for the Los Angles Times Syn­dicate
any more.
tate parking on the tops of
campus buildings, and maybe
a multi-story parking building
should be planned at some cen­tral
location on the campus.
These may not be practical
solutions, but it is an imprac­tical
problem that we are fac­ing.
Parking and traffic are
becoming the major headache
of colleges today. Postive meas­ures
to alleviate this dilemma
will have to be advanced soon.
Monetary outlays to cure this
problem will have to become a
common item on school opera­ting
budgets, especially at Au­burn.

'Dey's Always Some
Wus' Off 'Den You'
By LARRY LEE
Outside the sky was grey and cold.
But not much colder than inside the
aged frame "house" with its bare dirt yard where the
fire warmed little more than the clay hearth. The
weathered wooden walls with their many cracks offered
little .insistence to the biting December wind.
The tin roof rattled and popped while below the
group of small, dark bodies edged closer to the flames.
Calendars of by-gone years and faded magazine pages
trying to brighten the drab room grew darker as night
approached.
One of the group, a boy of about eleven whose toes
peeked from well-worn shoes, spoke.
"I's sure glad Christmas' 'bout heah. I reckon
dat's 'bout my fav'rite time a de year. Lookin' for ole
Santy Claus to bring me a big, red bicycle wif shiny
handlebars and maybe a real big-time baseball glove."
This mention of Christmas brought an outburst
from the others knotted before the fire. Talk filled with
"curly-head dolls," "ball-bearin' skates," and "leather
footballs." Talk filled with dreams.
As his brothers and sisters chattered on Jim real­ized
that his hopes for a bicycle and ball glove had
little chance to come true. They never had before.
Instead, his bicycle usually turned into a plastic dump-truck
and the baseball glove because a couple of apples
and oranges and maybe some hard candy.
This caused him to wonder if maybe Santa Claus
had to work as a pulpwooder like his father when he
wasn't delivering toys.
Once, when he asked his mother why he never
got what he asked for at Christmas she replied that
Santa Claus probably "run outa bicycles 'fore he got
dis far." And she always added the "maybe next year."
ably be just like the others. He would clamber out of
bed before daybreak, cold and shivering. Then he
Jim knew that this Christmas morning would prob-would
slip toward the skimpily decorated tree, hoping
for the bike and glove, but doubting their being there.
Then, as before, in his disappointment he would try
to remember what his mother said about being thankful
for what he had.
"Think 'bout de little children in Africer and Indier
dat don't eben habe a Santty Claus. Jest be thankful
dat hit's modern times and you libe in a wonderful
country like Americer," she would say. And she would
add, almost as an afterthought, "Dey's always somebody
dat's worse off den you."
And Jim would try. Though he knew that, as he
huddled before the fire playing with his little toy,
it would be hard.. \
"Dey's always somebody dat's worse off den you,"
mamma would say.

Letters To The Editor
Band Deserves Praise,
Says Student Leader
Editor, The Plainsman:
Excitement fills the air when
the Auburn University March­ing
Band struts down the grid­iron
in the "A" formation play­ing
War Eagle and Dixie. The
entire personnel of Auburn
University should be indebted
to the directors, Dr. "Bodie'1
Hinton, Mr. Bill Walls, Mrs.
Julian Stephens, and George
Hammett, drum major, and to
the" 143, members of the Auburn
Band for their enthusiastic per­formances
at each one of the
football games.
The majorettes are an added
attraction to the Band's per­formance,-
and they are to be
commended for their work in
addition to the regular practices
scheduled for the entire band.
The Band serves as an am­bassador
for the Student Body,
and we i can be proud' to be
represented by such loyal fel­low
students.
For your enjoyment, the band
members work at least 10 hours
a week perfecting a show which
has been carefully planned by
Dr. Hinton weeks in advance.
Credit is long overdue from
student and from the Plains­man.
Sometimes I feel the Student
Body does not fully appreciate
all that the band does probably
because the students have not
"marched in their shoes." Per­haps
the students are more
easily impressed by a flashy
precision drill which looks
good, but in my opinion, such
performances do not really dis­play
any depth of feeling while
a program centered around a
definite theme shows aware­ness
of the times and the band
members seem to be more per­sonally
involved in the show.
The music played by the Band,
for those who are musically
illiterate, is arranged by Dr.
Hinton, and the quality of this
music far exceeds any that is
on the open market.
Before we are critical, re­member
it has been said that if
"nothing but perfection could
exist, where would you be?"
Be grateful" and proud of the

Spirit Leader Asks
Is Auburn Spirit Dead?
Editor, The Plainsman:
Since my early years as a
grammar school student I have
heard of that special something
Auburn had that made them
proud, even after bitter defeat.
When I came to Auburn I
was told that that special some­thing
was the Auburn Sprit.
I was informed by upper class­men
that it encompassed every­thing
from rat hats to Dean
Foy. They said it was as real
as the lathe, as inspiring as the
alma mater, as great as Auburn
itself, and as powerful as 12,-
500 students.
Last spring when I was asked
to be Superintendent of Spirit
I was very proud. We spent
months planning a hew and
more effective p r o g ra m.
Throughout the fall we made
many mistakes, but the com­mittee
kept trying, unrecognis-cant
of the fact that they were
kicking a dead horse.
It became apparent last
Saturday in Legion Field, when
the Alabama students (those
shiftless playboys, remember)
put the Auburn students to
shame. The stands were near­ly
empty by the fourth quarter.
Students slinked out of Legion
Field ashamed they were from
Auburn. The Auburn Spirit
was DEAD.
No individual can be ac-.
cused, the blame rests on 12,500
shoulders, including mine. Each
student killed the Auburn
Spirit in his own way. Either
we must change or officially
bury the body.
I really do not feel the Spirit
is dead, but it needs conscienti­ous
re-evaluation. Perhaps we
can revive it for the Liberty
Bowl, or before next fall, or
perhaps never. We have our
choice.

complete Air Force ROTC in
just half the time!
Are you interested in starting a military career
while in college—but afraid it will cut too deeply
into your schedule?
Well, here's good news for you. Air Force
ROTC now offers a 2-year program. You can
start it any time you have 2 years of higher edu­cation
remaining—whether on the undergradu­ate
or graduate level.
Here's another good tiling about this pro­gram:
you get a chance to "sample" Air Force
life before you sign up. During a special sum­mer
orientation session, you get to make up
your mind about the Air Force, and the Air
Force gets to make up its mind about you. Only
when both are satisfied are you finally enrolled
in the program.
You'll learn a lot in Air Force ROTG. The
curriculum has been completely revamped. The
accent is on aerospace research and develop­ment.
But of course the classes are only the
beginning. The important thing is that you'll be
taking the first big step toward a profession of
great responsibility, as a leader on America's
Aerospace Team.

THE BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS
HAS FLOWN THE COOP
Can education bring happiness?
This is a question that in recent years has caused much
lively debate and several hundred stabbings among Ameri­can
college professors. Some contend that if a student's in­tellect
is sufficiently aroused, happiness will automatically
follow. Others say that to concentrate on the intellect and
ignore the rest of the personality can only lead to misery.
I myself favor the second view, and I offer in evidence
the well-known case of Knut Fusco.
Knut, a forestry major, never got anything less than a
straight "A," was awarded his B.T. (Bachelor of Trees) in
only two years, his M.S.B. (Master of Sap and Bark) in
only three, and his D.B.C. (Doctor of Blight and Cutworms)
in only four.
Academic glory was his. His intellect was the envy of
every intellect fan on campus. But was he happy? The an­swer,
alas, was no. Knut—he knew not why—was miser­able;
so miserable, in fact, that one day while walking
across campus, he was suddenly so overcome with melan­choly
that he flung himself, weeping, upon the statue of the
Founder.
By and by, a liberal arts coed named Nikki Sigafoos came
by with her Barby doll. She noted Knut's condition. "How
come you're so unhappy, hey?" said Nikki.
"Suppose you tell me, you dumb old liberal arts major,"
replied Knut peevishly.
"All right, I will," said Nikki. "You are unhappy for two
reasons. First, because you have been so busy stuffing your
intellect that you have gone and starved your psyche*
I ' v e got n o t h i ng
a g a i n s t l e a r n i n g,
mind you, but a per­son
oughtn't to ne­glect
t h e pleasant,
gentle amenities of
life—the fun things.
Have you, for in­stance,
ever been to
a dance?"
Knut shook his
head.
"Have you ever
watched a sunset?
. and then to a justice of the peace'
Written a poem? Shaved with a Personna Stainless Steel
Blade?"
Knut shook his head.
"Well, we'll fix that right now," said Nikki, and gave him
a razor, a Personna Stainless Steel Blade, and a can of
Burma Shave.
Knut lathered with the Burma Shave and shaved with
the Personna and for the first time in many long years he
smiled. He smiled and then he laughed—peal after peal of
reverberating joy. "Wow-dow!" he cried. "What a shave!
Does Personna come in injector style, too?"
" I t does," said Nikki.
"Gloriosky!" cried Knut. "And does Burma Shave come
in menthol, too?"
"It does," said Nikki.
"Huzzah!" cried Knut. "Now that I have found Personna
and Burma Shave I will never have another unhappy day."
"Hold!" said Nikki. "Personna and Burma Shave alone
will not solve your problem—only half of it. Remember I
said there were two things making you unhappy?"
"Oh, yeah," said Knut. "What's the other one?"
"How long have you had that bear trap on your foot?•,
said Nikki.
"I stepped on it during a field trip in my freshman year,1*,
said Knut. " I keep meaning to have it taken off."
"Allow me," said Nikki and removed it.
"Land's sakes, what a relief!" said Knut, now totally
happy, and took Nikki's hand and led her to a Personna
vendor and then to a justice of the peace.
Today Knut is a perfectly fulfilled man, both intellect-wise
and personalitywise. He lives in a charming split-level
house with Nikki and their 17 children and he rises steadily
in the forestry game. Only last month, in fact, he became
Consultant on Sawdust to the American Butchers Guild,
he was named an Honorary Sequoia by the park commis­sioner
of Las Vegas, and he published a best-selling book
called / Was a Slippery Elm for the FBI.

Tigers' Christmas Begins With Liberty Bowl In Memphis' New Stadium
By RON MUSSIG
A sometimes sputtering Auburn season will be cap­ped
with a post-season bowl game—the Liberty Bowl in
Memphis, Tenn. on Dec. 18 against the Ole Miss Rebels.
After winning five, losing four, and tieing one, the
Tigers managed a bid to the seventh annual Liberty
Bowl game. The Liberty Bowl

FIVE TIME FOE
The record book shows Ole
I Miss as a five time Tiger foe
| with the Rebels holding a 3-2
\ edge in the series. The Plains-
\ men are also on the short end
of the post season bowl games
with just two wins in five tries.
Most recently, Nebraska stove
off a late Auburn comeback try
for a 13-7 Orange Bowl vic­tory
in 1964. Jimmy Sidle led
the Tigers to 221 yards offense
in the second half while Dennis
Claridge, who had scampered
68 yards for a Nebraska score
mustered only 52, but the Corn-husker
defense held Auburn to
only one score.
The Gator Bowl hosted the
Tigers three times in a row as
the Tigers played there Dec. 31,
1955; Dec. 31, 1954 and Jan. 1,
1954. In '55, Vanderbilt whip­ped
the Tigers 25-13 but Joe
Childress, an All-America full­back
that season, was voted the
games outstanding player.
BOWL TRIUMPH
The December game of 1954
saw the Tigers dump Baylor
33-13 with Childress and Bobby
Freeman (who is now a Tiger
coach) supplying most of the
offensive punch. Childress was
named most valuable player
for his 134 yards rushing on
just 20 carries.
In January of 1954, Texas
Tech lambasted the Big Blue
35-13 in Coach Ralph Jordan's
first post season bowl game.
Vince Dooley, now Georgia
head coach was the Tiger spark
plug in the game which saw
Auburn with a 13-7 half time
lead only to have Tech, the na­tion's
highest scoring team that
season, score twice in each of
che last two periods.
First appearance of Auburn
in a bowl game was in 1938
with Jack Meagher coaching.

ELIGIBILITY QUESTION . . .
The Men's Intramurals program at Auburn is one of the
finest in the land. Certain parts of it are recommended to
schools elsewhere in the nation. The man who has run it for
the last 24 years, Coach Robert Kerr Evans, is probably one
of the best men in the country at his job. We imagine he is
just about as dismayed over the happenings of recent weeks as
we are. Phi Kappa Tau fraternity volleyball and football
champions this fall, were charged with using a player who
was ineligible—because he was not registered for school this
fall.
"He (Phil Vaughan) was the first many in my 24 years
who was protested as not being in school," said Coach Evans.
Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Delta Theta both lodged protests,
" . . . because PKT' used Vaughan all season in both volleyball
and football competition," reads an explanatory letter from
Superintendent of Men's Intramurals, George Stallard. Phi
Kappa Tau was allowed to keep their titles because of an
intramurals rule which says in part, "If an ineligible man is
used in a playoff game, he will be expelled if caught during
the game. If ah illegal man is used and exposed after the game
he will be expelled in future competition but the results of
the game will stand."
War' Eagles Become
Pacifists As Tide Rolls
By DAVID HOUSEL
Legion Field echoed with "Roll Tide Roll" and Roll
the Tide did, downing Auburn 30-3. The Win won the
Southeastern Conference championship for Bear Bry­ant's
gridders who now turn toward Nebraska and the
Orange Bowl.
Pretty Light . . .
Phi Tau's penalty foiv this was a "strong reprimand." Tom
Smyth, a Phi Tau spokesman at the Men's Intramurals Execu­tive
Committee hearing on the subject said, "They just went
according to the rules." Vaughan, who was unavailable to
us, reportedly has a canceled check with which he paid his
fees, but as of yet, nobody we could find has seen this check.
Whether or not Vaughan has it is a moot point. For his sake,
we hope that he does because he is hoping to graduate this
quarter.
What we question is the fact that Coach Evans was informed
'that,'". . . somebody had an ineligible player but he (the in­formed)
wouldn't say who it was." Also, the fact that, according
to Phi Tau treasurer, Ron Ray, Vaughan was asked to leave
the housje on Nov. 11 because he had failed to pay his fraternity
bills. Fraternity rules make him ineligible for further intramural
competition if his house bill isn't paid. He did not compete
in the PKT-SAE volleyball game, but he was back in action
in the playoffs. He played football until the protest was lodged.
"No one man is so important that we need him to win,"
said Smyth. Then we have to wonder 'why he was playing
when his fraternity rules call for him to stay out of competition.
We must find fault too, with both the Phi Delt's who lodged
their protest after they lost a playoff game to Phi Tau and the
ATO's who waited until the Phi Tau's had beaten them for
the vollyball championship to make their complaint. If keep­ing
.with good sportsmanship is unwritten rules—which the in­tramurals
program is attempting to perpetuate—you don't gripe

Auburn Faces Jax State Tuesday
After Last Night's Cage Opener

Skimpy dressing rooms should not bother the Au­burn
basketball squad this winter as the Tigers began
their season last night witVone of the smallest teams

DeFore, who previously had
entered in plans for the center

Head coach Bill Lynn, felt that
the 6-6 senior "would do a
better job at his corner spot as
he works best from the out­side."
QUICK IMPROVED
The improvement of 6-5 jun­ior
Ronnie Quick at center and
the able replacement in sopho­more

Lynn to keep DeFore at his us­ual

"Quick is a better defensive

Memphis on December 18.
The Tigers could not cope
with the deadly passing of Ala­bama
quarterback Steve Sloan
who erased most of Joe Na-math's
records from Bear's
Crimson record book. Following
the game it was not surprising
to hear Bama supporters say­ing,
"Joe? Joe who?", when
asked about Namath. Sloan had
not only broken most of Joe
Willy's records, but had also
eclipsed a Harry Gilmer's rec­ord
for one year total offense.
The Tide quarterback compiled
1499 yards to Gilmer's 1945 to­tal
of 1457. Sloan completed 13
of 18 passes against Auburn and
accounted for 226 of his yard­age
against the Tigers.

On the Auburn side of the
slate, two Tigers got their name
in the record books. Alex Bow-den
became the Tigers second
leading passer in one season.

Phi Kappa Tan's Vaughan Barred
From Intramurals Following Protest
A Phi Kappa Tau intra­mural
athlete was "barred
from any further participa­tion
whatsoever in the Au­burn
University Men's In­tramural
Sports Program,"
according to a ruling of the
Men's Intramural Executive
Committee rendered last week.
Phil Vaughan's eligibility
was protested by both Phi Del­ta
Theta and Alpha Tau Omega
fraternities. The meeting of the
Executive Committee called the
ruling a "strong reprimand" to
the Phi Tau's.
Winner of the All Sports tro­phy
the last two years, Phi
Kappa Tau used Vaughan as a
starter in all but one of their
volleyball games and in all
football games until he was
barred from further competi­tion
during the football play­offs.
NO RECORDS
His ineligibility stems from
the fact that the University
Registrars office has no record
of Vaughan having registered
for classes this fall, Men's In­tramurals'
rules call for all
participants to be "properly
registered as students."
The Committee ruling, which
left the results of games in
which he participated, "un­changed,"
cited two rules in
reference to their decision. One
stated, "All protests . concern­ing
eligibility must be made
in writing with supporting evi­dence
before the last scheduled
contest is played in the sport
in question."
The ATO protest was regis­tered
after the final game of
the volleyball playoffs in which
the Phi Taus defeated the
ATO's to take the fraternity
championship. The Phi Delt
complaint was submitted after
playoff football game in
which Phi Tau defeated and
eliminated the Phi Delt squad.
FOLLOWED RULES
Another rule followed said
that, "If an ineligible man is
used in a playoff game he will
be expelled if caught during
the game. If an illegal man is
used and exposed after the
game he will be_ expelled .from
fulure competition, but t h i re­sults
of .the game will stand."
Since the protests were sub­mitted
during the playoffs,
"The committee voted unami-ously
to follow the rules," said
Director of Men's Intramurals
Coach R. K. Evans, "but they
want to change them to make
them more specific."
Registrar's Office records
show that Vaughan was placed
on academic probation after
spring quarter. In the sum­mer
quarter he did not make
the necessary grades to return
to school this fall. Up until
Nov. 10 he was living in the
Phi Tau fraternity house when
he was expelled for non-pay­ment
of fraternity bills.
CLEARED INCOMPLETES
Vaughan reportedly received
two incompletes in the summer
quarter due to incomplete labs.
According to a Phi Tau spokes­man,
these incompletes were
cleared, giving Vaughan the
grades required for him to
register. Vaughan, who was un­available
for comment, report­edly
has a cancelled check
with which he paid his aca­demic
fees. The same Phi Tau
spokesman reported that "no­body
has seen the cancelled
check."
Five Plainsmen Land Positions
On 1965 Conference Honor Roll
Second in the SEC with five men named to the All-
SEC honor squads and two on the sophomore unit—
not bad for a team that had two wins, three losses and
a tie six games into the season.
Two defensive standouts, Bill Cody and Jack Thorn­ton
were named to the All-SEC
first unit defensive squad, while
Andy Gross, Forrest Blue and
Bobby Beaird were placed on
the second team. Blue and
Freddie Hyatt made the sopho­more
team.
Cody, a 6-1, 200 pound line­backer
made the listing last
season for his consistently out­standing
defensive play. The
Orlando, Fla., native scored two
touchdowns in the Florida game
on an intercepted pass and a
fumble recovered in the end
zone, quite a feat for a defen­sive
player.
THORNTON REPEATS
Thornton too, made the squad
in 1964. The 220 pound senior
from Washington, Ga. was one
of four unanimous choices on
the defensive unit.
Andy Gross, the only offen­sive
lineman who started all 10
regular season games was nam­ed
to the second unit. Gross, a
215 pound junior from Eliza­beth,
N.J., is rated as the
strongest of the offensive line­men
by the coaching staff.
Sophomore center, Forrest
Blue, started the spring as a
tackle, but was moved to cen­ter
to' strengthen the position.
At 6-5, 225 pounds, the engi-rieering
major from Tampa,
Fla., is the biggest man on the
roster.
SET RECORD
Junior safety Bobby Beaird,
who set a record, for the most
season punt returns in the Ala­bama
game was chosen as the
second unit defensive safety.
As good a student as he is a
football player, the 190 pound
Auburn native was one of the
only Tigers rated with a pre­season
chance to see two way

Bama put the game out of

the next two times they got
the ball. Leslie Kelley capped
a 63 yard drive with a two
yard scoring plunge and Don
Shankles caught a 29 yard pass
from Sloan to end the Tide
scoring.
The Crimson Tide threatened
again in the fourth period, but
the Tiger defensive unit held
the Bama boys inside the ten.
The Crimson Tide wound up
the season with an 8-1-1 rec­ord,
while the Tigers finished
5-4-1, their worst season since
1952's 2-8 run.
Alabama has now won six of
the last seven games and leads

Bama has won 15 games, one
more than Auburn.
We set out to ruin
some ball bearings and
failed successfully
The Bell System has many small, automatic
telephone offices around the
country.The equipment in them
could operate unattended for
ten years or so, but for a problem.
The many electric motors in those offices
needed lubrication at least once a year. Heat
from the motors dried up the bearing oils,
thus entailing costly annual maintenance.
To stamp out this problem, many tests
were conducted at Bell Telephone
Laboratories. Lubricant engi­neer
George H. Kitchen decided
to do a basic experiment that
would provide a motor with the
worst possible conditions. He deliberately set
out to ruin some ball bearings
by smearing them with an
icky guck called molybdenum
disulfide (MoS2).
Swock! This solid lubricant, used a certain
way, actually increased the life expectancy
of the ball bearings by a factor
of ten! Now the motors can run
for at least a decade without
lubrication.
We've learned from our
"failures." Our aim: investigate
everything.
The only experiment that can
really be said to "fail" is the
one that is never tried.

SEC Wrap-Up .
Eight Conference Members
Have Successful Seasons
Alabama's record eighth
SEC Championship made it
a successful season for Bear
and his boys, but the Tide
wasn't the only team to
have a good year.
Eight of 11 conference teams
finished with winning records,
and six are even headed for
bowls. Post-season clashes are
scheduled for Auburn, Missis­sippi,
Alabama, LSU, Florida
and Tennessee.
Tennessee, with a game re­maining
a g a i n s t nationally
fifth-ranked UCLA, already is
assured of their best record
since 1956. They now have six
wins, one loss and two ties.
'DOGS WIN
Georgia's Bulldogs used Geor­gia
Tech miscues to gain a 10-0
halftime lead, and then drove
61 yards for a touchdown in the
third quarter to put the game
out of reach as they defeated
the Gator Bowl-bound Yellow
Jackets 17-7.
Kirby Moore sprinted seven
yards for the first Georgia
touchdown after the Bulldogs
recovered a fumble on the Tech
22-yard line, and Bob Etter
added three points with a 40-
yard field goal following an in­terception
on the Tech 25.
The third-quarter d r i v e,
sparked by senior quarterback
Preston Ridlehuber's running
and passing, ran the Georgia
lead to 17-0. Ridlehuber got
the six-pointer on a five-yard
scamper.
Halfback Lenny Snow tossed
a 13-yard pass to Gary Wil­liams
for the only Yellow Jac­ket
touchdown in the fourth
quarter.
OLE MISS TRAP
Mississippi State fell into an
Ole Miss trap, and the Bull­dogs
went down to their sixth
straight defeat after winning
their first four games.

Marcus Rhoden's fumble,on
the State six-yard line set up
the third and final Rebel touch­down.
Mike Dennis scored three
plays later, and Jimmy Keycs
added his third conversion to
make the final count 21-0.
VOLS DOWN VANDY
Tennessee used the running
of fullback Stan Mitchell and
the passing of sophomore quar­terback
Dewey Warren to roll
up 21 points in the first half,
and went on to defeat the Van-derbilt
Commodores 21-3.
Mitchell galloped 62 yards
for a touchdown on the third
play of the game, and scored
the final Vol touchdown in the
second quarter on a two-yard
plunge.
Warren, subbing for another
sophomore, Charlie F u l t o n,
completed 10 of 17 passes for
133 yards and one touchdown.
Mitchell's long r u n moved
Tennessee into a 7-0 lead, but
Vandy shortened that to 7-3
early in the second period on
Toby Wilt's 25-yard field goal.
Minutes later, Tennessee in­creased
the lead to 14-3 with
an 80-yard scoring march. War­ren
completed four consecutive
passes in the drive, including a
20-yarder to Austin Denny for
the touchdown.
A fumble on the Vandy 23 set
up the final Tennessee touch­down.
Warren passed 21 yards
to Hal Wantland to the two,
and Mitchell carried it in from
there.
FURIOUS FINISH
Three touchdowns were scor­ed
in the last two minutes and
10 seconds as Florida escaped
a second-straight upset with a
30-17 victory over Florida
State.
With 2:10 remaining, Florida
State's Ed Pritchett tossed a 21
yard scoring pass to Jerry Jones
to put the Seminoles ahead 17-
16, but Steve Spurrier put the
Gators back on the scoreboard
less than a minute later with a
25-yard pass to end Charles
Casey. Seconds later, Alan
Trammel intercepted an FSU
pass and returned it 46 yards
for a Gator touchdown.
6 Tiger Gridders
Claimed In
NFL, AFL Draft
Six Tiger gridders were
claimed in last week's pro­fessional
d r a f t . Among
them was Gerald Gross
who was dropped from the
squad for disciplinary rea­sons
earlier in the season.
Linebacker Bill Cody, an
All-SEC choice was the first to
go as he was drafted in the
fifth round by the Detroit
Lions of the National Football
League and later by the New
York Jets of the rival Ameri­can
Football League.
Also selected during the fifth
round of drafting was junior
end Danny Fulford as a future
by the NFL Cleveland Browns.
Fulford was a red-shirt and is
technically eligible to sign a
professional contract after com­pletion
of this season's play.
ALREADY SIGNED
Gross, who never managed
to stay healthy or eligible for a
complete Tiger football season
was drafted by the Baltimore
Colts of the NFL and has re­portedly
signed a contract in
five figures with the Colts.
Drafted in the 10th round
was 215 pound tackle Bruce
Yates. The senior from El
Paso, Tex., was claimed by the
NFL Detroit Lions.
Chosen in the next round of
the AFL draft was offensive
tackle Bruce Yates. The New
York Jets, who also drafted
junior tailback Joe Campbell
as a future laid claim to Yates.
Campbell is in the same fifth
year status as Fulfdrd.:

Managing: Choice Field
By HOLLIS EASLEY
Room, board, tuition and books . . .
all for a mere eight hours a day.
Frank Jenkins, Doug Jones, Bill
Campbell, Steve Thaxton, Robert Rigsby,
Chuck Keifer and Paul Nix are thus com­pensated
for the long hours they put in
as Tiger football managers on the grid­iron
and in the kitchen of Sewell Dormi­tory.
Despite the hard work the few manager
positions are apparently highly sought
after as assistant football coach Buck
Bradberry receives between 30 and 40
applications for the job each year. Appli­cations
are sent in by high school managers
throughout the southeast. Coach Brad-berry,
after considering the qualifications
of each, selects the two most outstanding
as freshmen managers.
MUST PROVE CAPABLE
Freshmen must prove themselves capa­ble
of the strenuous and time-consuming
work required. Nix and Keifer are em­ployed
to ready equipment for daily frosh
practice sessions and ball games.
They receive housing facilities for two
quarters in Graves apartments, as do
sophomore and junior managers, and hold
down jobs as stewards in the athletic
dormitory.
Sophomore manager Rigsby and juniors
Thaxton and Campbell work with the var­sity
squad throughout the football year.
Their work-day begins at two o'clock each
afternoon at the Field House where they
pick up schedule sheets from individually
assigned coaches for the day's practice.
The managers must work on a precise
time schedule. The practice gear must be
in position and ready for use so that every
possible moment of daylight may be util­ized
by the coaching staff.
REPORT EARLY
On game days the managers report to
duty at 8 o'clock and put in a full day.
They are responsible for setting up the
dressing rooms, equipping the field with
stretchers, chairs, footballs, extra equip­ment,
and in general anticipating the ball
players' needs.
They receive, in addition to freshman
manager benefits, tuition, and books.
As senior managers, Jenkins and Jones
are on full athletic scholarships. They live
in Sewell Hall and receive the same bene­fits
as a football player which includes
laundry, spending money, and tickets to
the games.
Managers are subject to the Athletic
Departments' scholarship program and
must maintain their grades to be eligible
for employment.
TRIPS FUN
"Next to winning, the most enjoyable
part of the season is making the trips,"
confided 'Germ' Jenkins, who has been
in the managing business since his junior
high school years here in Auburn. The
managers also benefit with all-expense
paid post season bowl trips.
But they have a hard time when fate
deals a loss to the Tigers.
"We feel just as bad or worse than
the team after a loss; we are right there
with them, working and sweating the
whole time," said Jenkins, "and the longer
and more taxing practice sessions that fol­low
such losses include us too. Taking
everything into consideration, though, I
can't think of a better way to work your
way through college."

Auburn's freshman bas­ketball
team began a busy
weekend schedule yester­day
as they entertained the
Snead College Parsons at
3:30 p.m. in jthe Sports Arena.
Today the Baby Tigers jour­ney
to Panama City, Fla., for
the Gulf Coast Tournament.
The freshmen will participate
in the two day tourney with
three of Florida's top junior
college teams.
After the Gulf Coast Tour­ney,
the Baby Tigers will see
no further action until their
Jan. 3 meeting with the Mis­sissippi
State Bullpups in Au­burn.
The probable starting line-up
for the Baby Tigers' opening
game with Snead will have Rex
Etheredge and David Hurt at
forwards. Larry Cantrell or
Bobby Roberts will start «t
center. Wallace Tinker will
start at one guard position with
either Bobby Johnson or Tim
Christian at the other guard
post.
Christian has worked out a-bout
a week and may start
against Snead. If Christian is
ready for Snead, Johnson may
move up into one of the for­ward
slots. With Etheredge,
Roberts and Hurt at 6-6 and
Cantrell at 6-8, Coach Larry
Chapman will have one of the
tallest Auburn freshman teams
in recent years.

more game experience, how­ever
Millsap has been impres­sive
in preseason practice and
is a strong rebounder. "There
is not much difference between
the two," Coach Lynn said, "one
will play about as much as the
other."
BACKCOURT STARTERS
Bobby Buisson and Tommy
Fibbe are the backcourt start­ers.
Behind them are Herbie
Green, Tee Faircloth, and Alex
Howell.
Buisson "has come along real
well and has improved his
shooting," the head mentor
commented. The New Orle.ans
junior led Auburn in their con­quest
of arch-rivals Kentucky
and Alabama last season.
Fibbe, six foot senior, is the
Tiger's ^'best defensive player"
and doubles up to "help others
on Auburn's man to man de­fense."
Fibbe has also shown
more scoring punch than last
season.
HOME GAMES
On Dec. 7, the Tigers host
Jacksonville State, and on the
eleventh take on Jacksonville
University of Florida. Both will

after you lose the game if you know in advance that something
is amiss. Undoubtedly it is nice to have the All Sports Trophy
in your trophy case, but we feel that it can be won without
any protests or illegal moves of any sort.
Not All Up And Up
• From what we hear, much of the intramural system is not
on the up and up. More than one boy has played for a fraternity
without being affiliated with that fraternity in any formal way.
Independent teams often plays boys who are on more teams
than their own. "We don't have facilities enough to check each
man's eligibility," said Coach Evans. We've seen football games
we wouldn't care to get in the middle of and basketball games
like that too. Many a time this year the referee could have
dropped his little red flag for unnecesary roughness. It doesn't
have to be that way.
The Executive Committee (consisting of representatives from
the fraternity, dormitory, independent and church leagues) is
talking of tightening up the rules concerning player eligibility
so that a team will have to forfeit all of its games' if it is
ever found to have played an ineligible man. As it. stands,
the protest must be lodged prior to the end of scheduled play
to force a team to forfeit its games. This may or may not be
an improvement—we have to vote against because word usually
gets around if a man shouldn't be playing.
There is no reason to wait until the end of the season to
protest.
We feel that it might be wise to establish a probation system
of some sort. That way a team might be more willing to re­port
an ineligible player and once on probation a team would
have to submit proof of eligibility of all its players. While the
committee is at it, we feel that they might look into unsportsman­like
conduct penalties and stiffen them' more, than a little.
There is no place for fighting on the intramural field' and we
have seen more than one "good one" on ol' Max Morris.
This is Jaguar for men. After-shave and cologne com­bined.
Women like it. Because it doesn't smell like the
stuff they wear. Men like it. Because it comes on stronger.
Stays on longer. Jaguar is lusty. Powerful. Potent. It's
bottled in a stark, strong, smoky-glass cylinder. It's only
for the man who gets a bang out of living, a charge
out of leading-who plays to win, whatever the game.
After-shave/cologne,$3.50. Soap on a rope,$2.50.

Robert Belcher, a senior
in electrical engineering at
Auburn University, is
"gung-ho" Navy and proud
6f it.
If he is proud of the Navy,
the Navy has a right to be
proud of him. Unlike many of
his classmates who will enter
the Navy via the NROTC pro­gram,
Belcher, a Chief Petty
Officer, already has 10 years of
naval service behind him and
is looking forward to more.
As a participant in the Navy
Enlisted Scientific Education
Program, better known as NE­SEP,
Belcher will graduate in
December with a 2.6 grade
average of a possible 3.0, prob­ably
first in his class.
He will then enter graduate
school, one of the few NESEP
scholars to do so. After receiv­ing
his master's degree, Belcher
plans to enter Officer Candidate
School and continue his career
in the Navy.
"I'll stay with the Navy all
the way," he said. "I like it. It's
been good to me and I owe a
lot to it."
A native of Lawrenceville,
111., Belcher entered the Navy
following his graduation from
high school in 1956. During his
six years duty before coming
to Auburn, he successfully com­pleted
the naval electronics
25 Fellowships
Added To Program
Auburn will receive 25 three-year National Defense Educa­tion
Act Fellowships in nine areas of study beginning with the
1966-67 academic year according to President Harry M. Philpott.
a total of 49 for the year of

The fellowship g r a n ts
through the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
are for study in the areas of

The Office of Education also
committed at least 37 additional
fellowships for Auburn over the
next two years for a total of
62 by the fall of 1968.
$1 MILLION PLUS
Total allowances for the 62
new fellowships assured will
amount to more than $1 million
during the next five years at
Auburn, according to Dr. W. V.
Parker, Dean of the Graduate
School under which the fel­lowships
are administered.

prototype reactor training pro­gram
and submarine school.
He served on two submarine
cruises, one to Japan aboard
the USS ,Carp and another to
the Mediterranian aboard the
USS Sea Owl.
After applying for the highly
competitive NESEP program,
Belcher came out on top again
and chose to attend Auburn.
"I had two reasons for choos­ing
Auburn," he said. "The first
was that I had heard that Au­burn
had a good electrical en­gineering
department, and the
second reason was that I want­ed
to get away from the cold
northern winters."
His duties now are princi­pally
scholastic, Belcher lives
the life of a civilian student
with his wife, Joyce, and two
children, Michael and Michelle.
He wears his uniform only
once each week and when
standing personal inspections.
In another year, Chief Petty
Officer Belcher will be back in
uniform full time. And it's a
sure bet that the ensign's bars
will make the uniform wear
just a little better.
Cyclists To Don
Crash Helmets
By FRED BURDESHAW
Protective helmets will
be required for all persons
riding motorcycles or motor
scooters in Auburn begin­ning
Jan. 1, according to
Auburn City Police Chief
Fred Hammock.
An ordinance recently
passed by the Auburn City
Council will make it a mis­demeanor
to ride a motor­cycle
or motor scooter with­out
the protective helmets.
Chief Hammock said that
helmets provide protection
for the head and provide
greater safety at night,
since most helmets are
white.
Students who do not al­ready
have protective hel­mets
are urged by Chief M.
E. Dawson of the Campus
Security Police to get them
during the Christmas holi­days.
There are several motor­cycle
shops in and around
Auburn where they can be
obtained. C h i e f Dawson
said that the ordinance will
be strictly enforced on
campus.

SAM HINOTE IS TOP AG SENIOR
Samuel Ira Hinote, senior in agriculture administration,
Auburn University School of Agriculture, left, is being
congratulated by Dr. J. H. Yeager, head Department of
Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, and president
of Gamma Sigma Delta, on receiving the Outstanding Senior
in Agriculture Award given by Gamma Sigma Delta.
As a new grad,
do you know
where you want to be
15 years from now?
As a Pan Am Range Professional on the ETR you'll have a pretty good Idea
after the first year or so. Pan Am is responsible for specifying almost all the
range instrumentation hardware and systems for the nation's space and mis­sile
launches at the Eastern Test Range. It's a vast technological operation
giving you exposure to a great diversity of advanced tracking, telemetry, com­munications,
data handling and display systems which will help you choose
— in a fairly short time—where your career interests lie.
Even when you do decide, you aren't tied to your first area of discipline.
Quite the contrary. The nature of the new range technology produces—and
Pan Am encourages—a multi-disciplined individual who works in many spe­cialties
(radar, telemetry, electrical, optics, command/control, timing, hydrau­lics,
statistics, infrared, orbital mechanics, structures, air conditioning, instru­mentation,
communications and many others).
At the onset you have several main directions open to you.
You may find that systems engineering is what you're best qualified for. In
our Engineering Group, you'll be developing specifications for range instru­mentation
systems, evaluating bids from industry, providing technical guid­ance
for future development, monitoring manufacture and installation, and
phasing systems into operational status.
Or you may be best suited to the front line as an Operations Engineer— a real­time
monitor of vehicle flight performance at one of the down-range tracking
stations from the Bahamas to the Indian Ocean, or on one of the fleet of
'advanced range instrumentation ships.
On the other hand, you might qualify for our engineering administration
groups involved in technical management, industrial engineering, environ­mental
operations control, production control, industrial support, instrumen­tation
and facilities planning.
Whatever your initial preference, you'll be seeing the entire range in operation.
For further information, see your Placement Director. Or write to Manager of
College Relations, Oept. 600

Honor Students
There are a number of
axioms in the world today that
need challenging, President
Harry M. Philpott told Phi

"Cultivate the fine art of dis­content,"
Dr. Philpott said.
"Let your major discontent mo­tivate

Of Conference
Dr. C. P. Anson, head of the

been elected president of the
Southern Business Administra­tion
Conference.
Dr. Anson was elected last
week during the annual meet­ing
of the conference in Miami,
Fla., where, as vice-president
of the organization, he was in
charge of program planning.
The conference, including a
southern region of 14 states,
is made up of 92 schools of
business and departments of
business administration.
Dr. Anson has served in his
present position at Auburn
since 1946. Prior to that time
he was a member of the facul­ties
at the School of West Vir­ginia
University, Western Mary­land
College, Roanoke College,
and the University of North
Carolina.

Francis of Assisi and Dr. Albert
Schweitzer for illustration, Dr.
Philpott said discontent over
situations where one has no
responsibility nor obligation is
the "positive kind of discontent
needed to improve the society
in which we live."
Discontent — the source of
man's greatest curse and man's
greatest glory—is both positive
and negative, according to Dr.
Philpott. There is an active re­lationship
between discontent
and possessions, he said, calling
it negative discontent when
persons see what others have
but are blind to their own
abundance. He ca'led for
"positive divine discontent
which intellectually will keep
you moving forward."
It is when one thinks he has
found the answers that he
should begin to question,' Dr.
Philpott said, noting the ques­tioning
of the atom which
opened up an entire new area
for scientific advancement and
development.
It was the new president's
first address before the highest
honorary organization in land-grant
institutions across the
country. Membership in Phi
