1965 ACOIA TO
Alaska Senator
Will Present
Final Lecture
By JERRY BROWN
Assistant Managing Krtltor
Senator Ernest Gruening
(D-Alaska) will give the
final address to the Auburn
Conference on Internation­al
Affairs Friday at 8 p.m.
in the Union Ballroom.
The address will follow the
final ACOIA banquet schedul­ed
for 7 p.m.
Sen. Gruening will speak On
the responsibility of the Unit­ed
States in solving the prob­lems
of overpopulation.
Senator Gruening is well
known over the country for
his efforts in Congress in seek­ing
a solution to the problem
of overpopulation.
The senator was born in
New York City and graduated
from Hotchkiss School in 1903
and Harvard in 1907. He was
graduated from Harvard Med­ical
College in 1912 but he for­sook
the medicine field and
entered into journalism. For
some years, he was a news­man.
In 1933, he was appointed
advisor for the United States
when the "Good Neighbor
policy "for Latin America was
established.
Senator Gruening was ap­pointed
Governor Of Alaska in
1939, and served hi that capa­city
until 1953. When the Alas­ka
Constitutional Convention
was held in 1955, Gruening de­livered
the keynote address.
He was elected senator from
Alaska in 1956.
Senator Gruening is the au­thor
of three books, Mexico
and Its Heritage, The Public
Pays, and The State of Alaska.
Immediately following the
Senator's address a party will
be given at the Sigma Pi Frat­ernity
House for* all ACOIA
participants, featuring t he
"Mystics" band. Funds for the
party were provided by the
Auburn Interfraternity Coun­cil.
CONTROVERSY
Famed columnist Drew Pearson was the keynote speaker
of ACOIA last year. The fresh controversy which he pre­sented
relating to last year's topic is expected to be parallel­ed
by the featured speakers this year.

The approval of trie election
laws followed the Senate's ac­tion
Feb. 8, on the revision of
the election laws to implement
the constitutional changes pass­ed
in last spring's election and
those proposed this year-
Campaign a r e a s , polling
places, campaign material, and
infraction penalties were the
major areas which underwent
change in the election laws, ac­cording
to George McMillan,
junior senator and chairman of

Presidents and Vice-Presidents
of the various schools and the
school senators. Emphasis is
being placed on candidates for
these offices to campaign at
school clubs and organizations.
The purpose of the proposed
constitutional changes is to

Trouble In Architecture: Part One
Seven Architecture Professors
Will Leave At End Of Year
Seven faculty members are leaving the Department of Archi­tecture
at the end of this academic year, The Plainsman learned.
Charges of abridgement of academic freedom and lack of
reason for dismissal have been registered by two of the dismissed
instructors. The charges have
been denied by their superiors.
Three faculty members are
leaving because of a change in
curriculum which will elimi­nate
their positions. They are
David Brisson, John Strickland,
and Donald Cole.
Two men are resigning, Wil­liam
A. Stewart, chairman of
the curriculum in architecture,
and Olivio Ferrari, a visiting
foreign professor.
One instructor, Chris Risher
is leaving because he was em­ployed

The High Cost Of Failure: Part Two
High Failure Rate In Chemistry
Indicates Need For Improvements
By JIMMY STEPHENS
Managing Kilitor
The need for improving the plight of the freshman chemistry
student was seen last week when it was reported that failure
rates among freshman chemistry classes ran as high as 57.3
per cent fall quarter..
The department-wide failure
rate for chemistry 103 was 25.6
per cent while the rate for 104
was a considerably higher 37.3
per cent.
Due to persistently high fail­ure
rates in freshman chemistry
courses the Chemistry Depart­ment
instituted chemistry 102
in the fall of 1963 to give stu­dents
with weak science back­grounds
preparation for in­creasingly
difficult college
chemistry courses.
Comment and Analysis
Dr. Joe G. Peterson, associate
chemistry professor, told the
Plainsman that Department
wide 103 failure rates had
averaged as high as 35 to 40
per cent before the 102 course
was instituted.
He attributed the decline in
103 failures largely to the 102
course.
"A student who has a com­bined
math and natural science
ACT score of 46 does not have
to take 102," stated Dr. C. L.
Saunders, dean of the Chemis­try
Department.
The mean combined scores
for natural science and mathe­matics
for all freshmen enter­ing
last fall was 45.2, somewhat
short of the exemption require­ment.
"The (102) course is helping
considerably," Dr. Peterson
continued, "But this is not a
problem we can correct com­pletely
by the 102 course."
Chemistry Department offici­als
say they are making con­stant
attempts to lower the
failure rates without sacrific­ing
the department's high aca­demic
standards.
The department expects its
screening program, requiring
students with weak science and
math backgrounds to take 102,
to be more effective in the fu­ture,
but that at present there
are many 104 students who
were not subject to the rule
(See page 2, column 3)
only. The other man, Richard
S. Levine, was fired because he
was "not competent to teach."
The principal controversy
Rumors have been circulat­ing
\for some weeks now of
trouble within the school of
Architecture, part icularly
troubles between staff and fa­culty.

and Jerry Brown have
conducted a thorough investi­gation
of the school. This is
the first in a series of stories

centers around the elimination
of instruction in basic design
from the curriculum. Three
faculty members, David Bris­son,
John Strickland, and
Donald Cole will be released
because of this change.
The new curriculum will re­move
all art instruction for
architecture students, from

Fire Damages Lab
In Funchess Hall
By PEGGY TOMLINSON
A fire in a laboratory at
Funchess Hall Saturday caused
an unknown amount of dam­age
to an oven being used in
an experiment, but the blaze
was detected before it spread.
According to Building and
Grounds Director Linwood E.
Funchess, the fire was found
by students in the building. He
told the Plainsman the fire was
probably caused by ^materials
in the oven or some problem
with the thermostat.
The extent of damage to the
oven has not been estimated.
Campus Police Chief Mil­lard
Dawson said the flame
wasn't bad and firemen put it
out with the building's fire ex­tinguishers.

Police Charge
Students With
Forgery, Theft
By PEGGY TOMUNSON "'
Editorial Assistant
Two Auburn students were
released to the Lee County
sheriff's department last Tues­day
on charges of second-de­gree
frogery. An additional of­fense
of mail theft was referred
to federal postal inspectors.
According to Auburn Police^
mail was taken from boxes at
Starr's Trailer Town on Ope-lika
Road Jan. 31 and a week
later. The first theft produced
nothing but the second effort
yielded one check for $18.50
and another for $4.
The students cashed the
$18.50 check in Opelika by en­dorsing
the check "Starr's
Trailer Town" by Herbert
Starr. The students also stop­ped
for gas at a filling station
and drove away without paying.
The gas attendant's description
of the automobile, the driver,
and part of the tag number led
to identification by Auburn
Police.
Informed Today, Youth Will Be
Better Citizens Is ACOIA Theme
By SANSING SMITH
Assistant News Kilitor
"Within 30 years the world's population
will double." So predict today's population
experts.
The problems and consequences raised
by the rapidly increasing population are
the center of this year's ACOIA discussion
entitled "Poverty and the Population Ex­plosion
in Developing Nations."
In keeping with the long range purpose
of ACOIA, the planners of this year's
conference hope that it will aid college
students who will assume the responsibilities
of world citizenship to comprehend the prob­lems
involved in our modern situation.
The idea of ACOIA was first conceived in
1957 by three Auburn students who were
appointed as delegates to the Student Con­ference
on National Affairs at Texas A & M
College. This conference was based on the
idea that better-informed young people to­day
will be more responsible citizens to­morrow.
Inspired by what they hlad seen, the
delegates returned to Auburn and began to
investigate the possibilities for such- a con­ference
to be held on the Auburn campus.
The convention plans would be tailored after
the three-year-old Texas A&M SCONA.
This would be an annual affair with
speeches by recognized authorities in inter­national
politics.
The first Auburn Conference on Interna­tional
Affairs was held March 27-28, 1958.
Sixteen colleges were represented in discus­sion
on U.S. Defense and Foreign Trade,
the Middle East situation, and the U.S.S.R.
Such topics as "Western Europe—The
Key to Foreign Policy?" and "The Impact
of Colonialism on Asian Nations, were dis­cussed
at following ACOIA's. ;
The 1964 ACOIA discussed "The United
States Foreign Aid Policy."
Drew Pearson, nationally syndicated
columnist, faced a capacity crowd exceeding
1700 for his keynote address in the sixth an­nual
conference. Former ambassador Wal­ter
Dowling also drew a full house for the
opening session of the conference.
Mrs. Eleanor Lansing Dulles, lady diplo­mat
and sister of the late Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles, placed strong emphasis
on the need for continuing foreign aid.
Other speakers for the program included:
Zeen Z. Dover, embassy counseller from
Israel; Dr. Norman Parmer, Director of the
Division of University, Private, and Inter­national
Co-operation, Peace Corps; and
Congressman Donald M. Fraser from Min­nesota.
Operating on a budget of $5,000, ACOIA
has invested $3,300 in bringing similar out­standing
authorities to speak on the topic
of population explosion at this year's con­ference.

change Brisson was the only

Brisson did not contest the
failure to renew his contract.
Strickland will be transfer­red
to the art department.
Cole has appealed to the Aca­demic
Freedom Board that he
is being released because he is
"too articulate" and lacks "per­spective."
These claims, he said,
were "evidenced" by his par­ticipation
in a panel discussion
held by the student chapter of
the American Institute of Ar­chitects
in which he criticized
certain parts of the school cur­riculum.
DISSENTING OPINION
"I feel that the termination
of my contract is based on Dean
Speer and Dr. Polychrone's un­willingness
to hear any dis­senting
opinion in the depart­ment
and my determination to
teach my courses according to
my own knowledge, convictions,
and in conscience in the face
of pressure and directions to
do otherwise," Cole said.
He has previously stated that,
in his own opinion, he was
qualified to teach courses other
than Basic Design.
William A. Speer is dean of
the School of Architecture and
the Arts and Dr. D. A. Poly-chrone
is head of the architec­t
u r e department.
NOT CONSULTED
Professor Stewart, chairman
of Hie-architecture curriculum,
said-he is resigning because
he was "not consulted" in the
changing of the curriculum and
he "did not wish to be a part"
of any educational program in
architecture which omitted
basic design.
"Basic design, or its equival­ent,
should be considered es­sential
to the proper education
of architects, "Stewart said.

"a different concept of archi­tecture,"
a type that would not
"divorce itself from the prac-ticioner,
and would come down
from its 'ivory tower'." "Pre­vious
programs," Speer added,
"have not been realistic."
"Great architects have gradu­ated
from Auburn, "commented
one of the men leaving, "in­cluding
Paul Rudolph, the im­mediate
past dean of the school
of architecture at Yale.
"The question is, does the
Dean talk to the profession or
does he talk to the educators?"
he said.
PRE-ARCHITECTURE
The new curriculum, accord­ing
to Speer, will be set up
much the same as pre-med or
pre-law. The architecture stu­dent,
should he find in the first
two years of training that he
wishes to change curricula,
will not lose too many credits
by transferring. The new pro­gram
was praised highly by
the Alabama architect associa­tion,
Speer said. The change
has been made in several other
schools, particularly in the east,
department head Polychrone
added.
One of the primary features
of the change is the adding of
ah extra year to the architec­ture
degree, making a total of
six years of training including
the two year pre-professional
course.
Levine was discharged be­cause
he was "not competent
to teach," according to Poly­chrone.
CIVIL RIGHTS
Levine stated that he was
called into Dean Speer's office
and "accused of being involved
in the civil rights movement."
"Dr. Polychrone, in another
meeting," Levine stated, "gave
this as one of the reasons that
my contract would be termi­nated
at the end of the year."
Polychrome stated that he
had received complaints from
students that Levine had diffi­culty
"communicating." He
said that Levine needs time to
"crystallize."
M. C. Huntley ,Dean of
Faculties, said, "Academic free­dom
is in no way involved in
this situation."
Richer, a 1964 graduate in
architecture from Auburn, was
employed for a period of only
one year. Olivio Ferrari, who
is a foreign professor, offered
his resignation to the depart­ment
last fall but was per­suaded-
to finish the year.

It should be encouraging to

that the department officials
are cognizant of the problems.
But while some progress is
being made, high failure rates

with candidates giving intro­ductory
campaign speeches.
This is Auburn's first trip to
the two-day switch-sides de­bate
tournament. Teams will
be coming predominantly from
Louisianna, Texas, and Missis­sippi.
The topic to be debated is
this year's national forensic
proposition, Resolved: The Fed­eral

These revisions have been
proposed by the Senate to clari­fy
these points. Before they
can be added to the Constitu­tion,
however, they must be ap­proved
by the 'Student Juris­prudence
Committee and passed
by a majority of the Students
voting in a general election.
Election law revisions pro­hibit
candidates from speaking
to fraternities, sororities, men
and women's dorms, and board­ing
houses. However, those
vying for the four major stu­dent
body offices, six senators-at-
large, Miss Auburn, and
Miss Homecoming will be al­lowed
to make these -speaking
tours.
Candidates for the school of­fices
are restricted to putting
their posters in buildings desig­nated
by their school councils.
The major candidates may put
their posters on any campus
bulletin board.
Kay Ivey, sophomore senator,
stated that cartop signs will
not be used in campaigning this
year. Instead, the Student
Government and school coun­cils
will provide display boards
with, pictures of the candidates
for the various offices*, -This
was passed to elimiate parking
problems posed by the cartop
signs and also to lessen the
campaign expenses of the can­didates.
Changes have also been made
to provide for bipartisan or
non-partisan poll workers, pre­ferably
non-partisan members
of the Auburn Veterans Associ­ation.
A training session is to
be held before each election
to instruct all polling officials
in the proceedings and the
rules.
Other changes include the
deletion of the warning privi­lege
for first infractions of the
rules. Now candidates are
brought before the Student:
Body Board of Election Quali­fications
for the first infraction!.
However, the Senate recom­mends
that the Board have
proven that the offense was
committed w i t h intended
malice before disqualifying the
defendant.
The Superintendent of Poli­tical
Affairs shall appoint a"
committee of at least ten mem­bers
to aid him in his duties
and to remove all posters im­mediately
following the cam­paign.
The Superintendent of Poli­tical
Affairs may call a cam­paign

out of trouble?"
An investigation at Auburn
provides a local answer to the
question. Cadets, officers, fac­ulty
all seem to agree on the
worth of the ROTC program
for all the boys involved.
The value of college ROTC
training for career officers is
immeasurable. A four-year
ROTC cadet can take his place
in the service as fully pre­pared
and qualified as service
academy graduates.
His chances of advancement,
his career, his future, are prac­tically
all assured as he serves
his country. Even the officer
who serves only four years ac­tive
duty, or who remains on
Reserve status, is offered ad­vantages
unattainable except
through ROTC.
The graduate who serves his
minimum time, then lives as
a civilian, profits in many
identical areas. Both the offi­cer
and the civilian business­man
have learned through
ROTC to obey orders, to com­municate
ideas, to lead others,
to delegate responsibility, to
apply knowledge in useful
ways. The ability to communi­cate
ideas and to cooperate
with others is a key to success
in any field. ROTC discovers
and sharpens these abilities.
Success in civilian life seems
to be directly related to mili­tary
training. Of all college
graduates over the country,
only five per cent had four
years of military training. Yet
15 per cent of all U.S. Am­bassadors,
10 per cent of Unit­ed
States Congressmen, arid 24
per cent of all governors had
this training. And of the busi­nessmen
with yearly incomes
of $100-$300 thousand, 28 per
cent have had such ROTC
training.

In addition the senator will
strive to create new clubs in

Dismantling Of Set After Final Players Production
Brings Relief And Nostalgia To Drama Group
When the Auburn Players
give their last performance of
a show, it calls for both a
party and a funeral.
Last Saturday night, when
the sets for "Champagne Com­plex"
had to be dismantled to
make way for those of the
coming "Three Penny Opera,"
the Players held what is tradi­tionally
called a "strike" party.
Almost before the last of the
audience had gotten out of the
door, the stage crew had begun

to cart furniture and had props
off the set. Director John
Knowles and actor Kelly Col-lum,
who went from the roles
of leading men to those of
stagehands, appeared after a
quick change into jeans and
sweatshirts to help take down
the lights and remove the flats.
Also in keeping with tradi­tion,
the Players held a "funer­al."
"The show is over—dead—
as soon as the curtain falls,"
says drama head Dr. Peet, "and
so we bury,' "literally, some
momento of the play."
A handfull of wedding invi­tations
and a string of paper
dolls from "Champagne Com­plex"
were taken out and
buried beneath the back steps
of the theater.
Of all the funerals conducted
by the Players, perhaps the
most welcomed was that of the
dead fish used in "The Tender
Trap." After two weeks of
brief nightly appearances, not
even Director Knowles, deep
freeze could stop it from be­coming
a most offensive prop.
When the sets of "Champagne
Complex" were finally dis­mantled,
the stage of the Play­ers
Theater was revealed to be
incredibly small. A dozen peo­ple,
continuously bumping el­bows
and backing into each
other, gave the impression of
being several times that num­ber.
As one crew member re­marked,
"Anytime there are
more than six people onstage,
its pure chaos."
The cardinal rule observed in
theaters everywhere — that
there is to be absolutely no
moving around backstage while
the show is in progress — is
doubly important in this minute
theater. "One wrong move and
you will bump into somebody
making an exit or removing a
prop in a hurry."

Musical Satire 'Three Penny Opera'
Will Begin Run Tuesday Night
By RON CASTILLE
The Auburn Players will present the classic social satire
of Brecht and Weill, "Three Penny Opera" beginning for a
two week run Tuesday at the Player's Theater,
"Three Penny Opera" is a
musical satire on the political
and moral corruption of London
around the turn of the Century.
The action centers around the
infamous but lovable King of
Theives, Mack the Knife, play­ed
by Jay Morrow.
Mack's domain is the back
streets and alleys of London
where his misadventures in
crime and punishment results in
his obtaining three wives.
His first, wife is the daughter
of the King of the Beggars,
Polly, played by Pat Jeans. His
cil will designate in which
buildings candidates may post
campaign posters. Senators at
large will have campaign post­ers
on the Student Body Dis­plays
being built now.
Posters for candidates for
president, vice president, sec­retary,
and treasurer of the
Student Body will also be put
on a Student Body display.
second wife is his social equal
in the form of a big-time
street-walker, Jenny, played by
Ann Trucks. His undoing comes
in the form of his third wife
who is the daughter of the cor­rupt
police magistrate of Lon­don,
Lucy, played by Christine
Abbot.
The play's director, Professor
Ray Carver, promises it to be
"most exciting and entertain­ing"
and rates it as one of the
best plays of the season. Reser­vations
for tickets can be made
at the Drama Department in
the Langdon Shops.
The Auburn Players is an
amateur group which puts on
one or two plays every quarter.
Drama students, faculty mem­bers,
college students with a
desire to act or to help out,
and townspeople' compose the
membership. The first presen­tation

ACOIA Is Well Worth Our Time
The Auburn campus will be visited
for the next two days by some big
names, and more important still, by
some great minds. The Auburn Con­ference
on International Affairs is one
of those rare opportunities to partake
of the knowledge of a number of ex­perts
on subjects of world-wide im­portance.
This year's subject, "Poverty and the
Population Explosion in Developing Na­tions,"
is of particular importance at
this time in history. We are witnessing
on all sides a revolution. New nations
are mushrooming all over the globe,
demanding a place in the twentieth cen­tury.
Their greatest problems are
poverty and population.
These problems are not limited to
developing nations. Our own country
is doing its share of struggling with
them. The population explosion has
been called, in fact, the one greatest
problem facing all mankind.
It is good, therefore, to have men
well versed in this problem visiting the
campus. They will be able to transfer
only a little of their knowledge to us
in the short time they have, but that
little will be well worth our time.
Support For Wallace's Education Program
The Auburn Plainsman gives full
support to Gov. George Wallace's edu­cation
program, now before the state
legislature, with the possible exception
of the free textbook proposal.
The part of the Wallace plan which
interests us most, of course, is the 20
textbooks and enough good teachers?
The Wallace plan provides for a 10 per
cent increase in teacher salaries, but
we must remember that other states are
hiking salaries too, and we are starting
from a low base.
Constant salary raises are necessary
per cent increase in funds for higher in Alabama just to keep up, much less
education. More is needed, much more,
but this is a refreshing continuance of
the bold start made in the first part
of the Wallace administration.
By 1966, Auburn will have experienc­ed
an increase of almost 50 per cent in
state funds if the Wallace program
passes. We hope the Alabama economy
will grow to the point that such in­creases
are possible every legislative
session.
A $110 million bond issue, in addi­tion
to the Wallace program, is being
pushed by state educators. Auburn
would have a big stake in such a bond
issue. From it would come many new
facilities, including a badly needed
auditorium-physical education complex,
although Wallace has said we will get
that no matter what.
We will not differ strongly with the
proposal to provide free textbooks
through high school, because we feel it
is basically a good idea. Almost every
state in the South now provides free
textbooks up to grade 12, except Ala­bama.
Several
however.
questions come to mind,
For instance, can we provide free
to catch up. And Alabama must catch
up to attract good teachers.
Another question is, will the plan
actually provide enough textbooks
when books are changed. We have
heard several complaints along this line
from the grade school level. Grade
schools are supposed to be getting free
texts now.
As one grade school principal put
it, "It takes us three years to accumu­late
enough books for everybody, then
they change texts and we have to start
all over again."
Another question is one also being
asked by the legislature; How much
will it cost? Along with everyone else,
we will be most interested- in seeing
the price tag.
We feel that Sen. Bob Gilchrist of
Hartselle has the right idea on free text­books.
His proposal is to provide free
texts through grade eight, then go up
to grade 12 a year at a time.
It would be much better to slow down
later if we run out of money than it
would be to spread ourselves too thin
and risk the whole program. Such a
program is too good to risk.

Memories Of Two Towns,
And Two Big Problems
By Don Phillips
My memories of Salina Cruz, on Mexico's
Southern Pacific coast, are faint. I was there
only once, at night in a storm, but the town left an impression
on me.
Salina Cruz didn't seem to be much different from any Ameri­can
small town, except that it was dirtier and more run down,
and the streets were poorly
paved.
The part of town where we
were had a fairly decent hos­pital
— an infirmary — which
seemed to be well staffed, a
drugstore across the street, and
an open-walled cafe on the op­posite
corner.
A couple of us sat in the
cafe and watched the rain come
down while a friend, was being
treated in the hospital. We
couldn't see it, but we could
hear the Pacific pounding the
rocky coast.
Half the large bugs in the
country must reside in Salina
Cruz. They were everywhere,
coming in wherever they could
find a dry spot. We got used to
them.
The town was different, but
on on a dark rainy night with
cars splashing by outside and
people hurrying from one place
to the other it was easy to
imagine almost any small
American town. I was reminded
of one town in particular, but
I couldn't remember where, or
when I had been there.
On to this scene stepped the
local priest, a French Canadian
whose name I couldn't even
pronounce at the time. Every­one
called h i m "Father
George." He was a husky
white haired man who looked
as though he might have played
professional football in earlier
years.
Father George had been in
Salina Cruz for quite a few
years, and he had a story to
tell. We had only a brief con­versation,
but we sat entranced,
while he told of priests riding
a full day on horseback to get
to their parishes, of men living
in huts unfit for human habita­tion.
He told of families too large
and incomes too small, of the
poor conditions in the town it­self.
He told of the work the
church was doing, of its inade­quacy.
After a while we went back
to the hospital to check on our
friend, and then to the drug­store
for some medicine.
Everyone was friendly to us,
and patient with our poor
Spanish. We really felt closer
to some small Southern town
than we did to the tourist traps
in far away northern Mexico.
Then it hit me. Salina Cruz
was reminding me of a small
town in the Appalachia region
of Kentucky. There had been
another rainy night, and anoth­er
clergyman, and another con­versation
many months before.
The conversations, and the
situations, were strikingly simi­lar.
Poverty and the population
explosion are universal prob­lems.
Poverty has been with
u$ since time began, and all
over the world it has been ac­cepted
as inevitable. That need
not be so.
We have the means to stop
the population explosion, and
if we set our minds to it, we
can eliminate poverty.' It is
time to push ahead on both
fronts . . . everywhere.

The Long Walk . . .
Growth Poses Problems
Of Student Transportation
By Mary Whitley
With President Draughon's announcement
last week that four new women's dormitories
are to be built on the campus, one begins to wonder just how
all these fair damsels are to make it to class.
Will they walk? Will they hitchhike (don't laugh they do it
at the University of Georgia)? The outcome will undoubtedly
prove interesting.

Greatest Threat To Life Is
Our Exploding Population
By Bill Renneker
The other day I listened intently as an
Auburn student expounded on "the greatest
threat to our lives." As this student expressed it, "the most
difficult and pressing problem of our generation and generations
to come is not the atomic bomb, but the world's expanding
population."
We Appreciate It Even More Now
Word comes to us from Cleveland,
Miss., in the Mississippi delta country,
that another college newspaper editor
has been ousted. The reason this time
is an "obscene" headline.
The headline stated that a certain
Miss Galore (with a very controversial
first name) in the James Bond movie
"Goldfinger" is "Typical of James
Bond's Girls."
For this "uncalled for, sordid" of­fense,
editor Jack Steele of the Miss
Delta of Delta State College was dis­missed
by college president James M.
Ewing.
Although a reprimand is possibly in
order, this is absurd grounds for dis­missal
of an editor. The reasons ob­viously
go much deeper.
Barnes Carr, the new editor, put
things in a better perspective. The Miss
Delta, Carr reports, has "on occasion
attacked the administration and some
of its policies," and has "pushed for
more public and open discussions on
campus of controversial topics."
"I believe freedom of expression to
be essential to the academic communi­ty,"
Carr said, "but attempts at opeh-mindedness
and moderation only re­sulted
in the newspaper being branded
as negative and anti-conservative."
It has always amazed us that the col­lege
press occupies a place of such im­portance
in the minds of politicians
and administrators, especially in this
part of the country.
There may be some hidden legitimate
reasons for the action of Delta State,
but we are familiar with many other
cases of dismissal or extreme pressure
in which the newspaper's only crime
was not going along with the "estab­lished
order."
The Auburn administration has been
guilty in the past of applying such
pressure, but this is no longer the case.
We can honestly say the administration
has applied no pressure on any editorial
matter this year, although we know that
a certain amount of political pressure
has been applied to them.
We are a completely free newspaper.
Incidents such as the one at Delta State
make us appreciate that fact even more.
I watched as the audience be­gan
to stir and I realized that
this student had grasped their
attention with the unfamiliari-ty
of his topic, but more than
that he had touched upon one
of the most dramatic realities
of our present age.
In these words he had sum.
mized the world's housing prob­lem,
its food shortage, and its
unemployment—in general the
causes of today's poverty. He
had struck a blow at cramped
Communist China and the Mid­dle
and Far Eastern countries
and he was appealing to the
drowsy American to wake up
and take notice.
We as Americans have much
of which to be proud. We call
our country "the Land of Op­portunity"
and we exist in what
we refer to as "Abundant
America." But how long can
we do this?
Our population is creeping up
on us in leaps and bounds. On
April 1, I960 we were 180,000,-
000 strong; today we have over
192,000,000 and yet our land
area has not increased ap­preciably.
It is anticipated that
the population of the United
States in 1980 will be over
280,000,000. More food must
be raised to feed the increased
number of people, and yet our
farms are being cramped by the
decentralization of the Ameri­can
cities. Since April, 1960
we have lost 2,268,000 in farm
production due to this process.
Just how long can we exist in
this viscious circle and what
can we do to improve the situa­tion?
There are many theories. The
architect or city planner sug­gests
a vertical organization;
Frank Loyd Wright proposed a
mile high building, but how
many of these have been built?
Our engineers at space centers
feel that w£ can lick the prob­lem
if only we can send some
of our people to live on other
planets.
They predict at least seven
years before this can happen
and they have said nothing
about the feasibility of such a
scheme. Meanwhile our military
strategists have predicted that
China will start a war just to
lessen their population. And
when will this be? So you see,
the problem is real; it is affect­ing
each of us, and it's time we
take a careful look.
The Auburn Conference on
International Affairs has de­dicated
itself to such a goal.
Starting tomorrow this two day
symposium will strive to en­lighten
you about "the Great­est
Threat to Our Lives." The
Council of Deans has granted
excuses to those who attend.
They feel it's just that import­ant.
Many outstanding authori­ties,
including Dr. John Rock,
an inventor of the birth control
pill; Mr. John Strohm, one of
the foremost agricultural edi­tors
of our time; and Senator
Ernest Gruening, Congressional
leader in the problem of over­population,
will be here for
this purpose.
'One of these men has been
summoned on occasions to ap­pear
before Joint Sessions of
the United States Congress, one
has traveled extensively behind
the iron curtain and was nomi­nated
for the Pulitzer Prize,
and one has served the state of
Alaska as its first Governor.
These people know probably
better than anyone else the per­plexity
of the situation and its
far-reaching effects. What they
have to offer is evaluation and
insight. What they say will be
directed toward the elimination
of the "Greatest Threat to Our
Lives."
Letters Policy
The Auburn Plainsman wel­comes
all critical, complimen­tary
or informal letters to the
editor. No letters of more than
250 words will be printed. Let­ters
should be typewritten and
double spaced, and must reach
The.Auburn Plainsman, P. O.
Box 832, Auburn, Ala., no later
than the Sunday preceding
publication.
Libelous and vulgar mater­ial
will not be printed. All
letters must be signed, but
publication of names will be
witheld on request. All names
will be certified.
The editors reserve the right
to print a representative cross
section when several letters are
received on the same subject.
Item two — new fraternity
row is "full-up"! Where will
new construction begin ? Ob­viously
far, far out.
Item three, the real show-stopper—
the definitely neces­sary
but much-regretted fact
that neither sophomores nor
freshmen will be allowed to
havet dars on campus'. This
poses a delimma.
Either students will have to
rise at the crack of dawn, pack
a lunch and begin the unbe­lievable
hike toward the main
campus or some type of shuttle
service must be installed.
Interested parties have ar­rived
at two solutions: shuttle
buses or a "Tiger Train" built
on the order of LSU's vehicle
of transportation initiated in
1963.
These trains (there are three
of them which cost the Uni­versity
about $12,500 apieee)
run 20 minutes apart and cir­culate
throughout the campus.
They are slo.w and expensive
(it's rumored they cost as much
to run a year as they cost to
buy). And until recently they
have been more or less a cam­pus
joke at LSU. But since
on-campus student driving has
been abolished (as will proba­bly
be the case at Auburn in
several years) something had
to be done.
But since the "train" idea
has proven rather impractical
on the rolling plains of LSU we
suggest the idea be junked for
Auburn's rolling hills.
An efficient bus system, it
seems, would be much more
desirable, . , both | time- g and
money-wise.
Having investigated the train
idea thoroughly I must agree
with LSU's news editor Tom­my
Ryder in saying, "perish
the thought!"
Auburn needs taxis, not
trains.

'Dining Hall' Situation
Involves Freedom, Ethics
By Jerry Brown
Complaint is a basic part of human nature.
Without effort it manifests itself and like
contagion spreads thoughout a group. Rarely are letters to the
editor complimentary.
Because of this facet of human character, the reason a com­plaint
may be made obscure; persons to whom the complaint is
directed will dismiss it as some
ephemeral whim — but such
must not be the case of the
women who eat in the dining
halls on this campus.
It was brought to the at­tention
of this writer that the
complaints w e r e increasing
and, according to older stu­dents,
becoming more serious.
An investigation was^made.
True, many of the com­plaints
are not important and
must not be magnified out of
proportion. The present sys­tem
has its merits—cheap
cheap food, balanced diet, well
staffed kitchens. Everyone
seems to be happy except the
girls. There has been a com­plaint
committee established
but the consensus is that it has
no lasting effect on the food.
The real resentment under­lying
the recent rash of com­plaints
comes from the girls'
being forced to buy meal tic­kets.
A food service official has
said that the only reason for
compelling the girls to buy
meals in the dining hall is a
rule handed down from the
Board of Trustees.
Perhaps the board has some
concrete reason for forcing the
food down the girls throats.
However, the food service of­ficial
said he knew of none.
Furthermore, he denied that
the reason for requiring the
girls to eat in the dining halls
is to pay for the dormitories.
Probably the reasons for the
rule will remain clouded in
secrecy until someone writes
a letter to the Birmingham
News. To our system of laud­ing
the freedom of the indivi­dual,
such a rule seems archaic
and baseless.
Some women do enjoy the
food in the dorms and see the
price advantage involved. If
rules are passed to give the
co-eds' freedom to eat where
they choose, these people will
probably continue eating in the
dining halls.
"There is no love sincerer
than the love of food," George
Bernard Shaw said once. But,
as John Milton pointed out in
Paradise Lost, love cannot be
forced and retain all the attri­butes
of honest affection.
The situation, therefore, has
reduced itself to a serious
question of ethics. Should the
Auburn Women be required to
eat in the dining hall or should
the old ideal, freedom, creep
into the picture and shed a
little light?
The decision is theirs, not
mine.

Federal Referees
Needed In Selma
To Register Voters
By George Gardner
The Black Belt, last fortress
of total segregation in the
troubled state of Alabama, ap­pears
to be attempting to turn
a futile last battle into a gal­lant
one.
The once-placid waters of
t h e muddy
A l a b am a
River which
w i n d s
through the
heart of the
cotton and
cattle coun­try
of t he
H e a r t of
Dixie h a ve
b e e n rip­pled
by turmoil in recent
weeks.
Thousands of Negro demon­strators
have placed Selma in
the headlines of newspapers
throughout the civilized world.
Their demands: the simple
right to vote.
It is ironic that in the
world's greatest functioning
democracy thousands of tax-paying
citizens are denied such
a basic right. Nay, an obliga­tion
. . .' to vote is an obli­gation,
a privilege and a right
—in that order.
But there appears to be hope
for the thousands of Negroes
who have toiled on the "boss
man's" rich bottom lands in
the shadow of the Ku Klux
Klan since the Emancipation.
A little-publicized provision
of the Civil Rights Act of 1960
offers an alternative to busy
federal judges and hate-filled
voter registration boards who
deny the Negro his right to
vote.
If a federal judge finds that
discrimination against pros­pective
voters is not isolated
but "is pursuant to a pattern
or practice," he may (upon the
request of the Attorney Gen­eral)
appoint one or more fed­eral
"voting referees."
In effect, the judge may em­power
these "voting referees"
to qualify and register Negro
applicants.
These voting referees would
test' the'qualifica'tioris of Negro
applicants'by criteria no more
stringent than the state regis­trar
has been using to qualify
white voters in the county. '
The Alabama voter registra­tion
law generally prescribes
tough standards which in prac­tice
are applied in a discrimin­atory
manner to disqualify the1
few Negroes who actually
reach the registrar's desk.
In Selma, with shotguns and
electric cattle prods blocking
the way, merely reaching the
registrar's desk is no small
task in itself.
However the statute has one
glaring weakness. It says the
federal judges may appoint re­ferees—
never does it use the
word shall.
Thus far no federal judge
has used the provision. But it
appears that Dallas County
would be a good starting place;
The Black Belt is the only
area of Alabama which can
still boast of two counties in
which not a single Negro name
appears on the voting list. .
With the attention of the
world focusing on Selma,
President Johnson has been
pressured to enact more fed­eral
legislation to speed up the
registration of qualified voters
in such areas as Selma.
To our way of thinking more
federal legislation on this level
is not desirable at the present
time.
But the appointment of fed­eral
referees must be made
mandatory by statutes; or it
must be made an executive
function. As a judicial respon­sibility
it has been a "ping-pong
ball" long enough.
In time Selma, refusing to
follow the good example of
Mobile and Huntsville, will
fall.
But the question yet unan­swered
is when will the people
be allowed to vote?
Meanwhile, they are being
denied the most basic function
of the greatest democracy the
world has ever known.
Until all the people of Selma
(and Alabama, for that mat­ter)
are allowed to register as
voters, we cannot expect the
costly demonstrations to halt.
The right to demonstrate is
rather basic in a democracy,
too.

Letters To The Editor
Failure Cost Covers
More Than Chemistry
Editor, The Plainsman:
After reading your article
on "The High Cost of Failure,"
I wondered why you didn't in­clude
subjects other than
chemistry.
Like other freshmen, I took
111 math last quarter. I have
been told that the teacher I
had last quarter failed 18 stu­dents
and gave 10 others D's
out of a class of 34. Even an­other
teacher stated that the
tests were too hard and too
long. I firmly believe the fault
lies with the teacher, not the
student.
While ACT scores do not
necessarily predict what a stu­dent
will do in college, a Ph.D.
does not necessarily mean a
teacher c a n teach, as Dr.
Saunders implied. It only
means that he has been taught.
I myself failed 111 math last
quarter, and presently have an
average well above 90 this
quarter with another teacher.
Was it fair for this teacher
to deprive 28 students of five
honor points and cause 18 of
these 28 to repeat the course?

Chemistry Article
Read With Scorn
Editor, the Plainsman:
I just read with considerable
interest your editorial on the
first page of last week's Plains­man
concerning the "High Cost
of Failure" in the Chemistry
department.
When I first entered the
"Lovliest Village" back in
1961, one of my first official
engagements with the Uni­versity
was a picnic at the home
of Dr. Draughon. At that time,
he told us to look to either side
of us for only one of three
would make it until graduation.
If 67 per cent of us are expected
to fail, why is there so much
excitement over 67 per of the
students in freshman chemistry
not making passing grades. It
seems to me that the wise thing
to do is to eliminate the stu­dents
who can't make the grade
at the freshman level. A person
can lose a lot more by spending
two quarters in college only
to find out he's not college
material.
Luckily, I knew so few peo­ple
at Auburn when I first got
here that nobody told me I was
supposed to be afraid of Chem­istry.
Later I discovered that
I had been instructed by two
of the "holy terrors" of the de­partment
who were both ex­cellent
lecturers. During those
two quarters I was never given
a test that didn't come exactly
from the lecture notes. Disre­garding
home ec majors, most
of the students in those classes
were in scientific and engineer­ing
fields, people who should
have been able to pass fresh­man
chemistry if they were
going to remain in their chosen
fields.
Now, about the "high cost."
Which is better, spending near­ly
$60 -on a student once or al­lowing
him to "tag along" for
two or three quarters, costing
the school and him much more
in the long run.
If the chemistry teachers are
wrong for failing poor students
and if the chemistry teachers
are expected to pass these stu­dents
anyway, then the regis­trar's
office should devise a
method to only accept that 33
per cent that will make it
'through school. Of course this
is impossible, so let's commend
the chemistry department for fine Wednesday, Feb. 10, 1965
a job well done instead of con-deming
them.

States' Righters Oppose
Help For 'Little Man'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Many of us often wonder
why the proponents of states'
rights fear the U.S. Govern­ment,
our government. Is it
because the federal govern­ment
promotes the general
welfare? The whole body of
our welfare legislation finds
its authority a n d support
largely in the national gov­ernment:
Social Security, pub­lic
health, education, and con­servation.
The latest example
of this is the Johnson admin­istration's
anti-poverty pro­gram.
If you can get a states' Tight­er
to quit hollering "Negro"
long enough, ask him his views
on important economic issues.
With few exceptions the states'
righters are opposed to Social
Security, the graduated in­come
tax, TV A, organized la­bor,
and the national anti-poverty
program.
Alabama's states' righters
are not truly concerned with
the welfare of the working
people of our state. Their main
concern is with the welfare of
the "Big Mules," or wealthy
industrialists who want to
keep wages low and the large
land owners of the Black Belt
who have Negroes making
their living for them.
The present d a y states'
righters are never inspired by
generosity, never excited by a
passion for freedom or for jus­tice,
never exalted by magna­nimity,
but take refuge in nar­rowness
and selfishness and
vindictiveness.

Cussed And Discussed
Editor, The Plainsman:
I enjoyed Mr. Tom Milli-can's
letter in last week's

I'm glad you're not critical
in your judgement of what is
vulgar and libelous. If you
were Mr. Millican's letter
would never have been print­ed.
Printing the letter on the
day Governor Wallace came to
the University is in that same
fine spirit which led you to
editorially commend the Au­burn
Y-Demo. on their resolu­tion
endorsing the Mississippi
Freedom Party.
However, I don't see why
Mr. Millican considers Harry
Hooper courageous for writing
"Wallace Must Cease Wash­ington
Defiance." Does Mr.
Millican think that everyone
who makes an ass of himself
in the eyes of the student body
is courageous? Mr. Millican
must consider himself and the
Young Democrats quite fear­less.

Skateboard Campaign
Viewed With Disgust
Editor, The Plainsman:
It seems to me i that the
Plainsman is on a crusade —
arid indeed, a noble crusade —
to rid skateboards from the
surface of the earth. Two
weeks ago a front page article
and an editorial; last week-two
front page items I, shudder Ao_,
think what damnation .will be­fall
the proponents: •• of • that
manual sport this week. May­be
you'll have a true confession

student will concentrate more
on the content of the courses he
has instead of on his grade.
3. The courses that the stu­dents
choose will therefore be
governed more by interest and

of maintaining a high grade

"I was a skateboard schitz"—
or an article relating bone
cancer or mononucleosis to
skateboard riding—or maybe,
utilizing one of the sneakiest
tricks known to journalists and
politicians alike, denounce it
as being "un-American" in an
editorial.
Whatever the tactics. I ap­plaud
the Plainsman for having
the guts to take an editorial
stand on such a controversial
and world shaking problem. It
is impressive to see the journal­istic
might of the free press
thrown against the forces of
evil, corrupters of youth, and
enemies of the free world, such
as skateboarding. When other
university newspapers devote
their crusades to such piddling,
unimportant items, such as
civil rights, Viet Nam, the cold
war, LBJ's Great Society (for
him), etc, it is indeed gratifying
to see our own campus news­paper
defying public opnion,
the big bad administration, the
NAACP and hordes of students
throwing broken skateboard
wheels, marching down the
editorial columns, with heads
held proudly high and banners
streaming, crying "Down with
skateboarding!" and; "Eat pie,

Selma Editorial Praised?
Voting Right Is Secured
Editor, The Plainsman:
Heartiest congratulations for
your terrific editorial on the
crisis of Selma last week. Dal­las
County Sheriff Jim Clark
has no business interferring
with the award-winning Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. and
his disciples merely because
they are breaking half the
laws on the city books, have
got the city in a complete tur­moil,
and are tryjng, with the
eager assistance of the federal
government, to change the en­tire
Southern way of life over­night,
i
But Clark and the other
white trash in the South must
learn that this is the price to
be paid for forcing the poor
Negroes to take the same liter­acy
tests and meet the same
qualifications that apply to
whites in order to be able to
vote. The colored population
down here has long been in­terested
in voting. The Negroes
in Selma showed their interest
by not doing anything of note
until their hero came down to
show them the way.
Ah, but what a wonderful
thing Reverend King is doing.
After he has succeeded in get­ting
every Negro over 12 years

'Who'll Replace Layton Johns?' Auburn's Big Joe Newton Shows 'Em
By HOLLIS EASLEY and BOB SNELLGROVE
They said it couldn't be done: But Auburn's Joe
Newton has successfully filled the shoes of the
Southeastern Conference's most valuable basketball
player.
The 6-7^2 Newton got the call when three-time
AU-SEC center Layton Johns graduated from the Tiger
lineup in 1963.
"Joe "does as good a job as Layton did," says Coach
Bill Lynn. "He's a good kid and plays good basketball."
The latest National Collegiate Athletic Association field
goal percentages speak even more eloquently of Newton's
success. Big Joe ranked No. 2 among all collegians with
a 62.7 percentage, tops in the SEC.
"The Best Center . . ."
Sports Publicit Bill Beckwith calls Newton "the best
center I've ever seen at Auburn," and last Monday evening's.
performance against Tulane gave added weight to Beck-with's
compliments. However, Newton felt he played better

'Best Sports Coverage In The SEC
on Saturday evening against LSU, and considers his best
performance to date has been this year's Alabama game in
which he scored 27 points.
Newton also holds the dubious distinction of being the
nation's third ranking fouler for the 1963-64 campaign
when he averaged 4.23 fouls per game. Joe has not been
forced to retire from a game since the Florida contest.
"My hands get in the way," Joe explains.
Newton has even considered changing jersey numbers in
hopes that the officials would not recognize him.
Newton claims that if he is careless in daily scrimmages
he makes a large number of errors in a contest. A good
week of practice usually results in a good game.
"/ Foul More ..."
Even though Joe admits, "I foul more than anybody
on the court," he says that officials seem to look for him
in a game and call him more closely.
His fouling was responsible for the story concerning
"Newton's Blue Ribbon," which originated in the Blue Bon­net
classic in Houston, Texas.
The wife of assistant coach Rudy Davalos told Joe that
she would award him a blue ribbon if he completed an entire
game. When the Classic was over, he proudly walked away
with a blue ribbon and a gold star.
Joe's blue ribbon now has nine stars, each representing
games in which he has not fouled out. However, there
is yet room for more stars.
Home Court Advantage . . .
When asked about playing ,in the Sports Arena, Joe
stated that he preferred Auburn University's government
-surplus "shoebox" to a more adequate Sports Coliseum.
"As far as playing in the Arena, we definitely have an

GERALD FtUTBERG . . .
The situation is "red" and all systems are "go" for the
Auburn basketball team. There are five games remaining
on the 1964-65 schedule out of an original 25-game slate and
the Tigers again stand near the top in Dixie basketball. Whether
or not the Plainsmen deserve the summit position will be de­termined
in two taxing weeks of basketball skill and determi­nation.
A Page Eight Notice . . .
Legendary Kentucky visits the Sports Arena on Saturday
night and it would have mattered not had we only inserted
a small notice about the game on page eight. Everybody
knows about the Wildcats and everybody and his brother will
see the game in person, watch it on closed circuit TV, or
listen to Buddy Rutledge's vivid play-by-play description.
Talking to members of the cast and supporting players on
game strategy and expected developments you get the idea
that the Tigers will be really up for the Kentucky row . . .
and four others.:.New-entrant to the record books, Joe Newton,
tells you following the Tulane game that "Kentucky beat us up
pretty bad and we've got to beat them down here." Newton
and the other seniors on Auburn's quintet have never defeated
the 'Cats.
"Most Play Better Saturday . . ."
Coach Bill Lynn tells you following the Green Wave win
that "We've got to play better than we did tonight against
Kentucky Saturday night," and guard Herbie Greene, the top
hustler of them all states that "Kentucky runs their offense
as quick as anybody I've seen." That's why the Ruppmen
have taken more shots than any team in the Conference. And
mgde more, too.
"Just recently we found ourselves in Florida," remarks
friendly team captain Freddie Guy. "We came out of a mid-season
mental slump and everything else in Gainesville. Win­ning
in Florida gave us the confidence we needed."
Tougher Defense . . .
Assistant coach Rudy Davalos explains that Auburn will
have to play tougher defense, control the backboards, and, in
particular, take advantage of any height asset the Tigers might
have in order to win the game. "We don't fear just one man,
we fear all five. Kron, Dampier, Mobley . . . they can all
hurt you," he said.
As a former Kentucky coach, we asked the rapidly-rising
Davalos how much he would like to win the contest. "Real
bad," he stated, with a tone of voice which explosed his dedi­cation
to the game of basketball and the game with the Wild­cats.
"We'd like to make ammends for that loss in Lexing­ton,"
he added.
Mindful that the Tigers must face Tennessee with A. W.
Davis and Co. on Monday evening in Knoxville, the Auburn
coaches chose to "play them one at a time," the way a game
is supposed to be played.
Vandy The Favorite . . .
As to the tight SEC race Coach Lynn feels that "Vandy has
the better end of the schedule. They play more at home." This
makes the Tiger coach somewhat of a prophet for at the
very beginning of the season he told reporters that "the team
which wins the greatest number of road games will win the
title."
At home Auburn has been undefeated and still largely un­challenged,
however on the road trips the Tigers have suffered
some reversals.
In SEC basketball circles Auburn's front line of Lee DeFore,
Freddie Guy, and Joe Newton, are known as the "baby-faced
three," however there is nothing infantile about the way these
standouts play basketball. Coach Lynn says of Freddie, "Every
night he is going to give you everything he has. We normally
give Freddie the opponent's best front man."
When Joe Newton surpassed the 31-point mark Monday
evening he reminded Bill Beckwith of Bob Miller, who
until Monday night held the Auburn record for most points
scored against an SEC opponent with 31.
Miller accomplished his feat against LSU in 1954, and
none other than Bob Pettit of the Saint Louis Hawks was
the victim of Miller's rampage.

Newton Connects For 38 Points
To Set New Scoring Records
Big Joe Newton supplied all the fireworks with a
record-smashing 38 point performance against Tulane
on Monday evening in an 87-73 Tiger victory, while the
entire Auburn team waltzed to a 101-60 win over LSU
last Saturday night in a pair of SEC wins at the Sports
Arena;
Unaware that he was on the
way to a record, Newton calm­ly
notched a spot in the Au­burn
record books by surpass­ing
Bill Kirkpatrick's 36 point
total tallied against Howard in
1955.
A HAPPY NEWTON
While the modest Newton
happily commented that, "it
was a real nice win," he earn­estly
conceded that "I just
missed too many layups to­night,"
despite the record-smashing
effort. Newton scor­ed
20 markers in the first half
and 18 in the second half al­though
he sat out the final
minutes of the game, content
to let his replacements log
some valuable playing time.

team to feel the brunt of a

when the Tigers outscored the
Bayou Bengals 22-4, "our best
offensive effort of the year."
The score at intermission was

It was a team effort all the

For Third 1964-65 Triumph
High
By ROBERT SMITH
The Auburn freshman wrest­ling
team threw the Banks
High Jets for a 31-4 loss last
Friday afternoon in the Sports
Arena to "pin down" a season
record pf 3-1.
The match could be termed
"3-0" match as six of the
nine classes which wrestled
ended in a 3-0 score.
Although few m a t c h es
strongly challenged the frosh
grapplers, Auburn displayed
the balance with which Coach
Arnold "Swede" Umbach has
credited them all season.
Auburn dominated the after­noon's
matches by winning in
all the weight classes except
the 115 pound class, where
Cliff Bagwell (AU) tussled
Mike Dulion (B) to a 2-2
draw.
In the 123 pound class Bill
McKeand (AU) outmaneuver-ed
Jim Harper (B) by a score
of 3-0. Steve Korn (AU) de-cisioned
Ken Mosley (B) 3-0
in the 130 pound class.

Bob Bussey(AU)' defeated
Gary Tomlinson (B) by a
score of 3-0 in the 136 pound
division. In the 141 pound class
James Mask (AU) downed
John Amari (B) by a score of
3-0.
Auburn's Sam Douglas pin­ned
Jesse Titton in t h e 148
pound class for five points in
the second round.
CRASH DIET
After losing 11 pounds last
week in order to compete in
the 157 pound class, Eddie
Dyer totaled t h r e e points
while holding Richie Lampkin
scoreless to win his match.
Danny Watson (AU) down­ed
Bruce Lindsey by a score
of 5-0 in the 168 pound class.
James Weldon (AU.) defeated
Rhett Woods (B) by the score
of 3-0.
When asked to comment on
freshman possibilities for next
year's varsity squad, Coach
Umbach said, "Well, McKeand,
Bussey, Douglas, Szutenbach,
Dyer . . . any of the freshmen
could be greats if they fall in
the right weight class."

SOME REVENGES
"We're definitely pointing to
the Tech match," commented
Coach Umbach. "We want to
get at them and I think there
are going to be some revenges
taken," he said.
Earlier in the campaign, the
Jackets handed Auburn's mat
kings their only loss of the
season in a 17-14 decision at
the local Sports Arena. It was
only the 18th defeat in 19
years of dual meet competition
for the Tigers. Auhurn has won

Intramural Scene .
Fiji Cagers Continue To Romp;
Trafs Maintaining Red-Hot Pace
Phi Gamma Delta, Cinderella
fraternity on the 1965 basket­ball
front as well as in winter
quarter tennis and bowling
competition, continued their
relentless march toward the
league three cage crown with
a convincing 56-50 win over
defending league champs, KA.
Now 8-0 on the season, the
Fijis, won only two of their
12 outings in 1964, however the
current season has been a dif­ferent
story. Until last Thurs­day
evening, PGD had won all
of their games by three points
or less. "We get as tough as we
need to be," commented one
Fiji spokesman. "It has been
a team effort all the way."
In only their fourth year of
intramural competition, PGD
now rates with AGR and Sig­ma
Nu as the only undefeated
fraternity quintets.
At one point in the PGD-KA
struggle the Fiji's led by a 48-
34 margin. The KA's rallied,
but it was too late. The first
half, according to Fiji Don Mc-
Cay, "was our best half of the
year." He added, "I think we'll
come through the league."
Meanwhile, AGR was con­tinuing
its drive for league
four honors on the strength
of some torrid shooting per­centages
and a lot of hustle led
by Dan Nichols.
FRATERNITY
LEAGUE ONE
In the top game of the week,
KS mustered its troops and
downed previously undefeated
DC 48-46. Sandy Thorsberg
and Bill Sport led the KS at­tack
with 16 and 14 points re­spectively.
KS led for most of
the game. Toward the end of
the game DC started to close
the gap behind the shooting of
Otto Gaylord and Harold Mor­gan,
but it was just too late.
PKT also took the measure
of the DC quintet later in the
week 55-50. Vince Burrell led
the PKT onslaught with the
week's top intramural output
of 29 points. Ralph Overton
was the second leading scorer
with 15 points, mostly from the

outside.
in Independent play, the
Reoels and the JomDS are
making a run for the lead in
league one. Trafs remain un-aeieated
in league two, and
Checks look like the team to
beat in league five. The newly
formed league three is featur-,
ing a wen-baianced battle,
with the Caldwell House and
the Day House tied for the
lead.
Divisions A and E are still
undefeated in Dormitory play.
They are leading leagues three
and four, respectively. League
one is paced by Divisions N,
with a 5-1 record, and H, with
a 4-2 record. The remaining
league, two, is paced by Divi­sion
XI, with a 4-1 slate.
DC did manage to lead sev­eral
times throughout t he
game, with as much as a five
point lead in the fourth quar­ter.
PKT pulled into the lead
on the strength of heavy DC
fouling and accurate conver­sion
of charity tosses.
PKT defeated PKP earlier
in the week with Burrell again
leading the point-getters. He
connected for 17 points in this
contest. AP outpointed PKP
too, this time 60-43. Ray Wood­son's
19 points led AP.
AP met OTS and were mas­sacred
48-26 as OTS's Butch
Krahwinkle led the scorers
with 12 markers.
LEAGUE TWO
SN remained undefeated in
this loop by downing SPE 57-
36. Mike Mixon led game scor­ers
with 15 SPE points and
Burt Casey topped SN with 12
markers.
In the only other games in
league two, SAE hung in con­tention
by trouncing SP 51-35
behind the shooting of George
Clements who pumped in 16
points. SAE should be strong­er
for its rematch with SN
March 4 with the return of in­jured
Bob Snellgrove. TKE
downed winless DSP 47-32.

score a point for the Auburn
cause.
Tom Christopher was second
in the pole vault with a vault
of 14'6", the highest he has
ever gone.
POINT-WINNERS
: In other individual point-winning
performances, George
Cobb was in fourth in the 1000
yard run and Bill Braswell
was fourth in the shot put.
The Plainsman two mile re­lay
team, composed of David
Bruce, George Cobb, John An­derson,
and Glenn McWaters,
captured a third in the event.
The mile relay team just miss­ed
scoring points by finishing
fifth.
FOSTER SECOND
In the freshman division,
this year's Cake Race winner,
Dixie Foster, took second in
the 600 yard run. Foster was
nosed out by about three
yards.
Foster graduated from high
school in January of 1964 and
promptly e n t e r e d school.
Therefore he will be eligible
for varsity competition in the
spring meets. Coach Rosen
stated that he expected Foster
to do better outside because
"he is a big boy and all those
curves keep him from- taking
the long stride he is capable of
taking."
Coach Rosen said, "Overall,
our boys did very well. The
meet gave them some good ex­perience.
The Tigers were expected to
be "tough" in the distance
events prior to the meet, and
according to Coach Rosen, the
showing they made in the meet
has shown that they will take
a lot of points in the dual
meets of the spring.
Coach Rosen and some of the
top performers in last Satur­day's
meet will be traveling to
Chattanooga this Saturday to
compete in the United States
Track and Field Federation
Southeastern Championships.
Those competing in the meet,
which will probably contain
all those schools represented
in the Montgomery meet plus
several other Southeastern col­leges
and universities along
with local athletic clubs, are
expected to be Mitchell in the
broad jump; McCormick in the
broad jump and 60 yard dash;
Christopher in the pole vault
and high jump; Smith in the
high hurdles and high jump;
and the two mile relay team of
Bruce, Cobb, Anderson, and
McWaters.
LEAGUE THREE
PGD kept themselves among
the undefeated by downing
KA 56-50 in the league's top
contest.
SC stopped LCA 52-39 be­hind
John Lanier's 16 points,
and ATO topped DTD 45-36
in a slim schedule for the third
loop.
LEAGUE FOUR
AGR copped two games,
taking the measure of PKA 57-
47_and hapless DSU 64-42, to
remain among the elite unde­feated
teams. Dan Nichols led
AGR both games, with 19 and
22 points in the two contests.
Jim Thomas led PKA with 15
markers.
TC and PDT both remained
in contention by downing their
opponents for the week. TC
slid by TX 39-31, and PDT
also topped DU 35-29. PDT
downed BTP 50-34 in their
second game of the week. Ju­lian
Stallard paced PDT with
22 points and Rick Rosenkoet-ter
connected for 18 markers.
INDEPENDENT
LEAGUE ONE
The Rebels remained in con­tention
by walloping Chi Phi
61-19. League leading Jombs
picked up a forfeit win over
We Five. The only other con­test
in the league saw the un­knowns
remain unknown by
forfeiting to the Aces.
LEAGUE TWO
Trafs stayed atop this league
by completely and utterly mu­tilating
the Buzzards 92-10. In
their second amazing display
of offensive punch of the sea­son,
Berry Stevenson scored 24
markers while Ronnie Smith
and Seth Young. added 22
apiece.
Navy was downed twice, by
Trailer Park 33-31 and Hitch­cock
Dorm 48-40.
LEAGUE THREE
This hastily formed league
is having a good battle for the
top spot. The Caldwell House
topped the Day House to tie
with them for the lead, 34-30.
Genelda Hall rose up and t a p ­ped
the Caldwell House 42-41
to keep Caldwell out of the
loop lead.
The Day House snared vic+
tpries over Genelda 52-44 and
tfce Wesley Foundation 50-38
to press for the lead. The Wes­ley
Foundation also downed
the Caldwell House 33-30 to
force the tie. In the final game
of the week, the Wesley Foun­dation
slid by Genelda Hall
44-39.
LEAGUE FIVE
The Checkers just did drop
BSU 41^40 to hang onto the
lead in this league. In| the
only other game last week in
this loop, Baker downed the
Wheels 37-26.
