Foreign Aid Discussed
At ACOIA Sessions
Auburn's 1964 Conference on International Affairs,
held last Thursday and Friday, was termed an "out­standing
success" by ACOIA Chairman Ned Pierce.
"There was good attendance at most of the sessions,"
Pierce commented. He added that at least two of t he
speakers attracted capacity
crowds. About 100 persons had
to be turned away from the
first session when former am­bassador
W a l t e r Dowling
spoke, he said. Loudspeakers
were installed in the Union
lobby to handle the overflow.
Seven well-known speakers
and two panels gave delegates
and Auburn students first­hand
information on foreign
aid and foreign affairs.
Society Sponsors
Tutoring Service
Phi Eta Sigma, freshmen
men's honorary, will sponsor a
tutoring service for students in
111 and 112 Math Thursday,
March 5 and Tuesday, March
10. The tutoring sessions will
be held in the study hall on
the first floor of the Commons
Building beginning at 7:30
p.m. each evening.
Fifteen Phi Eta Sigma mem.
bers will aid in the project,
which is designed to help stur
dents with trouble in math.
There will be no charge for
the service.
Tutoring will be conducted
on both an individual and a
group basis. The initial meet­ing
of those desiring help will
be held in the Commons Build­ing
study hall. .The group will
then be divided into smaller
groups depending on what help
is needed.
If a sufficient number of
students participate in the tu­toring
program this quarter,
the project will be expanded
to include English 101 and 102
and possibly other courses for
spring quarter, according to
Phi Eta Sigma officers.
GRADUATES
Graduation invitations may
be picked up in room 311 of the
Union Building from March 2
through March 10. Extra invi­tations
may be purchased until
the supply is exhausted.
Keynote speaker Drew Pear­son,
syndicated columnist, pre­dicted
a forthcoming "golden
era" of cooperative peace with
the Communists in his talk.
Pearson noted that foreign
aid has set us back and been
squandered in some instances,
but he added that now is not
the time to curtail our pro­gram.
He suggested that the
aid could be cut down and
made available to more pov­erty
stricken areas.
Pearson spoke Friday at the
afternoon session. Other major
conference speakers during the
Friday sessions were Dr. J.
Norman Parmer, divisional di­rector
of the Peace Corps, Rep.
Donald M. Fraser, Minnesota
C o n g r e s s m a n ; and Craig
Raupe, Congressional Liaison
Officer for the Agency for In­ternational
Development.
Dr. Parmer told the students
of the Peace Corps' vital role
in supplying technical aid to
underdeveloped n a t i o n s in
areas unreachable by other
foreign aid programs. Popular­ity
of the program is empha­sized,
he told the audience, by
the recent organization of sim­ilar
programs by the majority
of the free nations in Europe.
Rep. Fraser spoke on foreign
aid from the legislator's point
of view. Raupe was the ban­quet
speaker for Friday night's
closing session. He spoke on
foreign aid from the Agency
for International D e v e l o p ­ment's
noint of view. The clos­ing
session was t h e only
ACOIA session closed to the
public.
Mrs. Eleanor Lansing Dulles,
lady diplomat and sister of the
late Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles, was the main
speaker for Thursday's pro­gram.
Mrs. Dulles emphasized the
need for continuing a strong
foreign aid program, but pin­pointed
as a serious weakness
the lack of continuity of lead­ership
due to f r e q u e nt

Lee County Medical Associa­tion/
Ragan stresses that the order
of the immunizations is of little
importance and that those who
have not previously taken the
vaccines are encouraged
take tomorrow's dosage. Per­sons
who have had the otj
vaccines should bring their
immunization cards to the cli­nic
stations, he said.
The clinic stations will be
located at the Women's Main
Dining Hall, the lobby of Fun-chess
Hall, the lobby of Com­mons
Building, the south en­trance
to Wilmore Laboratory,
and the main entrance to Mag­nolia
Dormitories.
The immunizations are of­fered
free of charge, but 25
cent donations are asked to
help defray the costs of the
campaign.
Ragan indicated that ap­proximately
one third of the
student body took the first two
vaccines.
The vaccine will be adminis­tered
at all Auburn elemen­tary

one-car collision Thursday at
approximately 6 p.m. Clemons
suffered minor injuries. Boone

car driven by Clemons was
headed toward Auburn on the
A u b u r n - Opelika Highway.
Clemons passed a car driving
on the outside lane, then cut to

total loss.
Gusty Yearout, a freshman
in pre-law, was injured in a
four-car collision Saturday at
10:28 a.m. Yearout suffered
head lacerations and a bruised
chest. He was taken to Lee
County Hospital for observa­tion.
A car driven by John Raines,
an Auburn resident, hit Year­out

THE SLOW RUSH
Elustrated below is the membership pin of a brand-new na­tional
fraternity called Signa Phi Nothing. To join Signa Phi
Nothing and get this hideous membership pin absolutely free,
simply take a pair of scissors, cut out the illustration, and paste
it on your chest.
Let me hasten to state that I do not recommend your joining
Signa Phi Nothing. The only thing I recommend in this column
is Marlboro Cigarettes, as any honest man would who likes
'good tobacco and a good filter, whose heart is quickened by a
choice of soft pack or Flip-Top Box, and who gets paid every
week for writing this column.
I am frankly hard put to think of any reason why you should
Join Signa Phi Nothing. Some people, of course, are joiners by
nature; if you are one such, I am bound to tell you there are
any number of better organizations for you to join—the Cosa
Nostra, for example, or the Society for the Placing of Water
Troughs in Front of Equestrian Statues.
ail
it'"mixS&i;
i
But if you insist on joining Signa Phi Nothing, let me give
you several warnings. First off, it is the only fraternity which
admits girls. Second, there is no pledge period; each new mem­ber
immediately goes active. Perhaps "inactive" is a more ac­curate
word: there are no meetings, no drives, no campaigns,
. no sports, no games, no dues, no grip, and no house.
The only thing Signa Phi Nothing has in common with other
fraternities is a fraternity hymn. In fact, two hymns were sub­mitted
to a recent meeting of the national board of directors
(none of whom attended). The first hymn goes:
Signa Phi Nothing,
Shining star,
How we wonder
If you are.
The second hymn, rather more poetic in content, is to be
Bung to the tune of Also Sprach Zarathuslra:
A Guernsey's a cow,
A road is a lane,
When you're eating chow,
Remember the mein.
Pending the next meeting of the national board of directors
(which will never be held) members are authorized to sing
either hymn. Or, for that matter, Frenesi.
Perhaps you are wondering why there should be such a fra­ternity
as Signa Phi Nothing. I can give you an answer—an
answer with which you cannot possibly disagree: Signa Phi
Nothing fills a well-needed gap.
Are you suffering from mental health? Is logic distorting
your thinking? Is ambition encroaching on your native sloth?
Is your long-cherished misinformation retreating before a sea
of facts? In short, has education caught up with you?
If so, congratulations. But spring is upon us and the sap is
rising, and the mind looks back with poignant longing to the
days when it was a puddle of unreason.
If—just for a moment—you want to recapture those care­less
vaporings, that warm, squishy confusion, then join Signa
Phi Nothing and renew your acquaintance with fecklessness.
We promise nothing, and, by George, we deliver it!

We, the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, promise smoking en­joyment,

WSGA Elections
If Someone Stole Samford Clock,
Would He Be A Thief, Or Clever?
By Jim Vickrey
S 1
(I
It was our pleasure to conduct an
interview with the presidential candi­dates
of the Women's Student Govern­ment
Association. We were somewhat
surprised, and pleasantly so, to discov­er
that both of these young ladies
were living tributes to the march of
progress.
Displaying sincerity and depth of
thought, they frankly answered impor­tant
questions concerning the role and
activities that a student governing body
can and should play in conducting the
affairs of women students.
These candidates were aware of the
major issues and problems confront­ing
WSGA. They had definite opinions
and did not hesitate to voice them. This
is a quality which we feel has often
been found to be lacking in our women
students.
Tomorrow's WSGA elections should
be of utmost concern to every coed on
the campus. There can be no complaints
about not knowing what to expect from
your duly elected representatives.
WSGA touches the daily life of each
woman student. Such matters as re­strictions
and permissions could be af­fected
by this election.
Recognizing the monopoly status of
this publication on the campus, we can­not
in conscience express a preference
for any student candidate. As far as the
presidential race goes, we can say with
full certainty that women students can­not
lose in the election. We feel that
either Penny Peth or Sherrill Williams
will carry the Women's Student Gov­ernment
Association to new heights.
The voter turnout should be a large
one.

Smear Goldwater Campaign Based
On A Misrepresentation Of Views
By George McMillan, Jr.
ACOIA Evaluation
ACOIA for 1964 is now history. We
feel that the conference was successful.
The lineup of experts was unparalleled
in the conference's history. For the Au­burn
students and visiting delegates
who. attended the sessions regularly,
there was a storehouse of knowledge
to be gained.
Most of the visiting experts express­ed
a highly favorable1 opinion of the
conference. This is a good indication
that some degree of academic value
was to be found in the program.
This is the only collegiate confer­ence
of which we know that has devot­ed
itself strictly to the critical issue
of foreign aid.
As a student sponsored and operat­ed
affair, a great deal of work is requir­ed
to bring the conference off success­fully.
We were pleased to see that an
evaluation session was held on Saturday
morning. The time to work on ACOIA
for 1965 is now. A chairman should be
appointed and a topic selected before
the end of this school year. Officials of
next year's conference should use the
At the present time oppon­ents
of Barry Goldwater are
waging a smear Goldwater
campaign which does not even
have its equal in the 1952 smear
Taft campaign. Liberal Repub­licans
graciously aided by Dem­ocrats
and the ever thickening
paper curtain of the Ameri­can
press flagrantly ignore
everything moderate or of a
humane nature that Senator
Goldwater says.
For example, the text of Sen­ator
Goldwater's recent speech
to the Economic Club of New
York bears only the faintest re­semblance
to what is still be­ing
said about it by many
commentators. We were led to
believe by news media that
Senator Goldwater's speech was
dedicated to denouncing the
Summer days to contact participants
and plan pre-conference preparation
sessions with faculty advisors.
It is our opinion that foreign aid is a
fact of life, but we feel that the confer­ence
would have profited by having a
guest expert totally opposed to the pro­gram,
several unsuccessful efforts wer« poor as shiftless, no-account
bums who deseryed their fate.
An examination of the text
of Senator Goldwater's speech
reveals that instead of being

of poverty, it was a talk
designed to do exactly the op­posite.
made this year to obtain a leading leg­islator
who ascribes to this line of think­ing.
Should next year's topic be a con­troversial
one, increased efforts in this
area would be worthwhile.
Conference attendance was good. It
did not, however, meet the standards
one might reasonably expect from a
program of such high calibre. We feel
that next year's committee should make
every effort to constantly urge students
and faculty to attend.
ACOIA is an asset to Auburn Uni­versity.
It coincides with the education­al
functions of this institution. We
should sincerely hope that student
leadership will never allow this con­ference
to die, as it did in 1963.
Congressman Rains
It is pleasant for a change to see
Alabama praised in the nation's press.
The cause is the announced retirement
from Congress of Representative Al­bert
Rains. The Washington Post and
New York Times credited the twenty-year
veteran of congressional wars with
the major role in securing passage of
legislation concerning housing and ur­ban
renewal.
The New York Times stated, "It is
commonly said in the House cloakrooms
that Mr. Rains' sponsorship of a bill
will automatically create twenty addi­tional
votes for it. Those votes have
often proved crucial. They will be even
more needed in the future as housing
In his address to the Econo­mic
Club, Senator Goldwater
stated that in the last quarter
century the income of our low­est
one-fifth of households as
expressed in dollars of constant
purchasing power has more
than doubled while that of the
highest one-fifth of families has
risen only 67 per cent. While
recognizing the old Biblical
truth "the poor you will always
have" Senator Goldwater said
that the trend toward the im­provement
of the lot of the
poor has been continuous and
can remain continuous so long
as we are people who recognize
that the solution to the problem
of poverty is not through "Gov­ernment
institutionalized pov-favors
abolishing TVA and
sticking up a sign outside the
TVA offices and waiting for a
rich buyer to stroll along and
snap it up.
The truth is that Senator
Goldwater simply proposed that
the commercial operations of
the TVA ceased to be run by
the federal government and for
them to be placed under a pro­gram
similar to that devised
for Telstar, the communications
satellite.
Senator Goldwater has made
it repeatedly clear that he is
not in favor of castigating the
entire TVA program. In fact,
since the present TVA set-up
has gone as far as it has, any
reform may at the time not
be feasible. But just because
Senator Goldwater realizes that
it isn't necessary to have the
federal government in the elec­tric
power business to gain or
to keep all the recognized gen­eral
benefits for the valley
people from the public works
development of the area cer­tain
liberal idealoques would
lead us to believe that a Gold-water
election would be disas­trous
for the TVA region.
The moral of the examples
which have been cited is that
in 1964—the national election
year—we as potential voters
campaign to fatally damage
Senator Goldwater's Presiden­tial
aspirations is firmly under­way.
We must not be deceiv­ed
by the liberal idealoques'
constant prating, but we must
realize that these liberals can
be beaten at the polls in '64 and
Barry Goldwater is the best
Republican to do the job.
WHAT IS HONOR
Webster's New Collegiate
Dictionary delineates its mean­ing:
"that to which esteem is
paid; excellence of character;
integrity, uprightness; a nice
sense of what is right, just, and
true."
I was prompted to seek the
denotation of this used—often
misused—quality of character
because of a ridiculously ironic
scene which was reported to.
me last week. A boy entered
the room of a friend of mine
in search of a book on honor
and honesty. It seemed that he
was writing an essay on hones­ty.
Now this would not be un­usual
in itself, except for the
fact that this boy was writing
this theme for another. The
pathos of this event is evident
without elaboration.
Collegiate ethical standards
have been a source of great
concern for me for many years.
There is a strange sort of code
—call it moral or ethical—that
pervades the campus commun­ity.
Occurrences which any­where
else would be unethical,
immoral, and unhonorable are
somehow dismissed lightly in a
university atmosphere because
"what can you expect from
young men and women engaged
in a mortal (maybe it's immor­al)
battle against society in gen­eral
and teachers in particular."
I think that more can be ex­pected
an received from colle-giates
than is now the case. We
need to reappraise the implica­tions
of our actions.
Let me site a few examples
of what I mean. Is there a dif­ference
between utilizing a
"quiz file" in order to prepare
for certain types of quizzes, etc.,
and the copying of lab reports,
term papers, book reviews? Is
there anything wrong in pick­ing
up books and pencils left
carelessly on desks and tables
throughout the campus and
taking them for our own? Is

there a sufficiently rational an­swer
why the Auburn Union
continues to lose table, chairs,
even TV chassis? If someone
stole the clock from Samford4
tower, we wouldn't say "Good
grief! He's a thief!" We would
say instead "How remarkably
clever!" This is not absurb
either, because this is exactly
the attitude that prevailed
when several college students
stole the whistle from off the
tower at Georgia Tech.
I cannot concur in the be­lief
that what you can get away
with is all right, that cheating
in class is acceptable if the
teacher is blind or indifferent.
There is absolutely no justifi­cation
for academic dishonesty
in the college community. No
end can possibly be worth a
means that drags a student's
spirit through the slush and
mire of deep, dark, dank dis­honesty.
I think it is time we re-ex­amine
the ultimate goals of
higher education. If in-the
light of objectionable action of
the professed spirtual and in­tellectual
ends of attending
Auburn University we can
justify any and all policies
that would effect eventually a
diploma, then let's cheat, cheat
our way to those goals, even
if when we attain them we find
that they have been sacrificed
on the alter of expediency.
However, if we find that the
end of a free and intellectual
and trained mind can only be
achieved through honest en­deavor
and sincere effort, then
let's go that way.
It has been said well that
the real test of a man's charac­ter
is what he would do if he
knew no one would ever find

character up to the standard is
by continually living up to the
highest standard in all that we

He is now reaping the rewards of

Student Accidents
The increasing number of automo­bile
accidents involving students is
reaching appalling proportions. Au­burn
students were involved in three
major traffic accidents during the past
week.
Reckless and careless driving is a
habit which no one can afford to deve­lop.
We are beginning to understand
why insurance companies charge such
high premiums on vehicles operated
by persons in our age group. The fin­ancial
toll of wrecks is exhorbitant.
Their physical toll is a needless catas­trophe.
There is little point in quoting the
numerous safe driving slogans. They
all seem to go in one ear and out the
other. Most student wrecks seem to be
caused by speeding and driving under
the influence of alcohol. We would nor­mally
refuse to gamble a few dollars
on a sporting event at extremely bad
odds, but we happily take automobiles
worth at least several hundred dollars
Goldwater's simple admoni­tion
certainly can not be con­strued
as a statement denounc­ing
the poor. But, our current
"end poverty at once" zealots
misinterpreted his statement to
mean exactly that;
This bit about the misrepre­sentation
of Goldwater's econo­mic
views is no unique example
of the excellent smear cam­paign
already underway.

Peace Corps Team
Editor, The Plainsman;
All of the members of the
Peace Corps team wish to
thank the students of Auburn
University for their interest in
the Peace Corps which was so
vividly demonstrated during
our visit on your campus. We
all greatly appreciated the
many kindnesses and courtes­ies
extended to us.
We were greatly impressed
by the student body, faculty
members, a n d administration
officials from P r e s i d e nt
Draughon down to those im­portant
freshmen w i t h o ut
whom no university could long
exist. We came to Auburn with
ACOIA 1964 was a praise­worthy
venture. Hundreds of
Auburn students took advant­age
of the opportunity to hear
some of the nation's most out­standing
experts on foreign aid.
Anyone who listened attentive-
• ly is now better informed oh
the subject. Auburn University
received front-page notice in
several state newspapers, and
each of the speakers left favor­ably
impressed with our uni­versity.
In spite of the handicap
of last year's suspension of
ACOIA, Chairman Ned Pierce
did an admirable job organiz­ing
the conference.
Although ACOIA can be
termed a success in general, in
retrospect one must point out
some of its shortcomings in the
hope of a better conference in
the future.
Conference delegates from
other universities should have
been accorded better treatment.
As it was, their participation in
the conference was little dif­ferent
from that of the Auburn
student who attended lectures
in order to be excused from
class. Remedies to this problem
might be a reserved seat sec­tion
in the front of the audi­torium
for registered delegates,
and their inclusion at all con­ference
luncheons.
The late afternoon sessions,
from 3 until 5 p.m., had the
lowest attendance, so low that
future scheduling of speeches
for that period seems unjusti­fied.
To use this time more ad­vantageously,
group discussions
might be instituted, in which
delegates would be divided into
groups of eight or ten. This
would effect more active parti­cipation
from each delegate, af­ford
a greater exchange of ideas
and make ACIOA more nearly
the understanding that it is an
outstanding university. We left
convinced that it is a more ex­cellent
educational institution
than we had previously under­stood.
Sincerely,

a conference in nature.
Although the prime consid­eration
in selecting speakers
should be to obtain knowledge­able
experts, an equitable ba­lance
between exponents of the
"pro" and "con" on controver­sial
issues should be sought. In
this, year's conference no con­scious
effort was made to en­gage
speakers on the basis of
their advocacy for or opposition
to foreign aid, but as" it turn­ed
out, all the speakers were
fundamentally advocates of our
foreign aid program.
The publicity aspect of
A C I O A is overemphasized.
ACIOA is good advertisement
for Auburn, and there is no­thing
wrong with that. But an
international affairs confer­ence
at a university should de­rive
its advertisement from its
value as a conference, and not
merely because it featured a
national celebrity, or drew
overflow crowds. Often the best
known figure^ are neither the
best informed nor the most
eloquent speakers.
ACOIA's greatest shortcom­ing
lies in its lack of advance
planning and delegate prepara­tion.
The topic, main committee
members, and basic planning
for the following year's con­ference
should be settled dur­ing
spring quarter. From the
beginning of fall quarter there
should be regular lectures on
the conference topic-presented
through campus organizations
such as the International Rela­tions
Club, the Young Republi­cans,
the Young Democrats, and
the Young Americans for Free­dom.
This should not be delay­ed
until the month before the
conference. Every effort should
be made to attract well-inform­ed
delegates from other univer­sities.
Even within our limited or­ganized
study of poltics and
international affairs at Auburn,
it is possible—with systematic
preparation and efficient or­ganization—
to conduct a top-notch
international affairs con­ference
here. The rebirth of
ACIOA in 1964 has provided
a solid starting point.
"The wayward wind is a
restless wind," and the restless
winds of today's world flow
Eastward from Peking across
the troubled continent of Af­rica.
"The dark continent" is
1 i k e a giant
baby w h a le
f l a i l i n g its
a r m s wildly
about groping
madly for its
p l a c e in a
world which
will someday
have to move
o v e r and
make r o om
for the baby
colossus.
Most, of the
old colonial giants of Europe
have fled before the onrush-ing
tides of discontent. The
stately remnants of the British
Empire are trying to preserve
order and stability, but it ap­pears
that Peking is daily
gaining the upper hand.
Spurred by an arrogant de­sire
for greater recognition
from powers half her size, Pe­king
sees a gold mine in Af­rica.
She has some obvious ad­vantages.
The first is race.
Chou-en-lai, c h i e f political
sharpshooter of the Chinese,
has successfully identified his
people as a part of the de­pressed
and belligerent social
revolution by. the non-white.
This identification enhances
Chinese opportunities for pro­paganda
blasts against her
"soft-sell" Russian counter­part.
She can point her finger
at South Africa, public enemy
number one of the emerging
free states of Africa. She can
point to Negroes in the United
States still seeking rights guar­anteed
to them by the consti­tution
one hundred years ago.
Patrice Lumumba University
for African students in Mos­cow
is not due to receive any
awards for civil rights progress
this year. Red China's claims
are realistic to many African
-Wiiids..
. The revolutionary spirit of
Peking is not unwelcome in
many African quarters. "Uhu-ru"
or freedom has brought its
disappointments to some new
African states.
There is no sound economic
structure upon which African
states can build. It is virtually
impossible to tax people who
have no concept of the mean­ing
of the term. Africa must
be helped. At a time when the
United States Congress has re­duced
foreign aid expenditures
by thirty-four per cent, the
Communist Chinese are prom­ising
assistance in growing
quantity to the African states.
Of course, it is quite possible
that Peking will be unable to
meet her obligations; but she
has at least laid the ground­work
for political education.
It seems that the United
States has several hopes and
alternatives in Africa. The best
hope, and it is almost an illu­sion,
is that some symbol of
stability will allow African na­tions
to settle their own dis­putes
and solve their own
problems.
On the other hand, it does
not seem desirable to isolate
this land of untapped resour­ces
and untapped minds from
the mainstream of internation­al
life. The United States could
and most likely should take
immediate steps to assist the
emerging states of Africa eco­nomically.
We should send our
leaders, governmental and cul­tural,
Negro and white, to these
African states. Rather than
hide from charges of racial bi­gotry,
we should point with
pride to present day efforts to
clean up our own backyard.
Africa will someday be a
prominent voice in world af­fairs.
She will have to be
heard and respected in world
councils. It would seem pre­ferable
to hear her as a group
of sovereign, prosperous, andv
free states than as a potent j
ally of Mao-Tse Tung and his
successors.
If our vociferous elements of
the right-wing could find time
to take some preventive action
in between shouts of "appease­ment,"
some problems might
be solved. It seems rather fool­ish
to vote against foreign aid
and to cry tomorrow that we
send in our pounds of cure. Af-r
i c i is a golden opportunity,
but some future-day Otto
Passman will likely get his
chfence to scream about our
lack of foreign policy in the
l$60s.

Call For Correction
Of Sports Article
Editor, The Plainsman:
I would like to call to your
attention, an article in your
Feb. 12 issue about the Florida-
Auburn basketball game played
on the previous Monday. I have
no argument with the story as
far as it concerned that game.
However, I do want to correct
a mistake your writer made
about the last game between
our two schools.
In the story, your writer said
the game gave Auburn revenge
for the 63-64 defeat Florida
gave Auburn in the first game
at Gainesville, "which (the
first game) was marred by sev­eral
student incidents."
I was at that game, report­ing
it for my newspaper, the St.
Petersburg Times and, to the
best of my knowledge there
were no incidents of any kind
at that game. I don't believe
any one from your staff was at
that game, although I could
be wrong. The only person
from Auburn who seemed to get
upset was the play by play an­nouncer.
Other than that, it was a very
quiet game which saw the Ga­tors
play one of their best
games and Auburn, one of its
worst. I imagine the reverse
was true the next time the two
teams met.
I believe our schools have al­ways
had fine athletic relations
and have always found each
other good competition in all
sports. I hope you can correct
this article and help maintain
these good relations.
Sincerely yours,
Robert D. Green
Sports Correspondant,

Hallelujah, Pearson
We Are Convinced
Editor, The Plainsman:
Hallelujah, we really have
no problems with communism.
Drew Pearson has convinced us
of this. Communism is mellow­ing
and Khrushchev is a mod­erate.
We should continue to
aid the communist countries
because their purposes are the
same as ours.
The Hungarian revolution
was only hearsay; the Berlin
wall is a hoax; there are no
slave labor camps in Russia;
Khrushchev was not respon­sible
for starving millions of
Ukrainians; there are no mis­siles
in Cuba. Khrushchev said
those things under canvas
were missiles on their way
home.
The Communists have said
in their writings that they
have never and will never de­viate
from their goal of world
domination. This is not any­thing
for us to be concerned
with. Hallelujah.

Monro Writes Again:
On Pledge Swaps??
Dear Mr. Editor:
With the liberty granted a
graduating senior, I would like
to take this opportunity to ex­press
some appreciation to the
improvement in social order de­veloped
on this campus in the
last few years.
When this humble writer ar­rived
as a gibbering freshman
at API it was commonly heard
about campus that the notorious
boy-girl ratio was in the neigh­borhood
of five to one. Being
rather young and timid, as
as many people seem to look
back at themselves as, I r e ­mained
awed at this phenom­enon
for some time. However,
I did continue bathing and
shaving for the sake of my ac­quaintances
and after a nasty
letter from the health depart­ment.
As good old time rolled on,
though, some changes were
made to improve this reprehen­sible
situation (in the ratio).
The administration, in coopera­tion
with the legislature and
the guvnor, saw fit to embark
on a building spree which
pleasantly included three girls'
dorms and a Home Economics
Building to lure them in. Sev­eral
new chairs were added in
Thach to take care of the in­flux
of newcomers. This change
gave heart to many of the boys
and social activities expanded,
causing some disturbance in the
white house near the quad.
Another great coup was made
when B&G swept into Auburn
Hall, chased out all of the boys
and some of the varmints and
turned it into a young ladies'
residence hall. This was defi­nitely
more of an advantageous
move for the boys than the
girls.
And so, as you can see, every­thing
has been in the favor of
the lonely male on campus from
the viewpoint of bringing avail­able
girls to Auburn. What's
more, we didn't have to resort
to U of A tactics as practiced
last year in having girl's es­corted
by federal marshalls.
Ours come of their own ac­cord.
This is why some of us were
considerably taken aback when
reading the social calendar for
the past week. With more girls
than ever on campus, and a new
sorority founded here recently,
why, we wonder, quite inno­cently
of course, would fe find
scheduled on Tuesday the 25th,
a Kappa Sigma pledge swap
with Phi Gamma Delta? Ah,
well, some people are never
happy with the present rate of
improvement. That's probably
why we have school riots, panty
raids and letters to the editor.
Yours for an orange and
blue social calendar,
Cattleman J. Monro

An open letter to Auburn
students and local residents:
Personnel of the Auburn
Conference on International
Affairs and student government
take this opportunity to express
deepest appreciation to you for
the tremendous response to the
1964 conference. Many hours
of preparation and much blood,
sweat and tears combined to
effect the quality of speakers
and program which we all en­joyed
this past week. Your in­terest
and presence more than
compensated for the man-hours
required by such an undertak­ing.
The conference is unique in
the nation! It is the only one we
know of that is completely
planned, payed for and affect­ed
by students alone. Only a
great university such as this
one could provide such an ex­perience
for its student body.
Although we made many
mistakes— large and small—
we can only call the conference
a smashing success. Next year's
will be even better because of
lessons learned in 1964. This
is your conference; continue to
support it—and all other pro­grams
of this type, designed to

Value Of Economics In Politics

The voter enters the booth. The issues of the long

his grandfather voted for the party, his father voted for

The well argued issues are

SALUTE: BILL LEE
Bill Lee (B.S.C.E., 1961) began his telephone career with
Southern Bell in Jackson, Mississippi, in the fall of 1962.
Bill, a Student Supervisor in the District Traffic Department,
is responsible for two manual telephone offices in the Jack­son
District. He travels to each office weekly and assists
the Chief Operators with problems that may concern force,
personnel, equipment, or other categories.
Since one of his manual offices is converting to dial
very shortly, Bill is responsible for all of the dial conver­sion
matters that affect the Traffic Department.
Bill's knack for stepping in and mastering a new job
swiftly will carry him far with Southern Bell.
Bill Lee, like many young engineers, is impatient to
make things happen for his company and himself. There
are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed
or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business.

THE PLAINSMAN AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26, 1964 PAGE S IX
George Gardner . . .
The "New Sports Arena" .
In recent weeks there has been much talk and speculation
around the campus about "the new gym." The source of most of
this publicity has been the Student Government Association.
We feel that this idea of a new gym and auditorium is, in
itself, good. However, the controversy seems to center around
a proposed increase in student activity fees to finance such
a structure. We feel that such a move is, in itself, bad.
Now that we (as one' of the most sports-minded individuals
on campus) have gone on record as being opposed to the in­crease
in fees for a new gym, let's go into the reasons why we
are opposed. Personally, we feel that it is the obligation of the
state of Alabama to provide adequate facilities for all of her
colleges (and the "barn" can hardly be termed adequate). Se­condly,
we know enough about finance to realize that the
revenue derived from the proposed increase wouldn't even pay
the interest on the sum needed to erect the proposed structure.
Therefore, we advocate a more realistic (without the use of
"orange and blue sunglasses") approach to the problem.
Doubt my word? Then listen to what Jeff Beard, Auburn's
respected athletic director, has to say on the same subject.
"The students shouldn't have to pay a dime—it is the obliga­tion
of the state," answered Coach Beard to our question as
to who should pay what for the new building. "Of course,
having a new building is a fine idea . . . everyone would bene­f
i t , both faculty and students alike."
Money Is Needed . . . ,
According to recent stories concerning the proposed fac­ilities,
"added revenue . . . would come from rent which the
athletic department would pay to hold basketball games . •. .".
Would it? "At the present time we are losing $25,000 a year on
basketball," said Coach Beard, "In a good year in a 10,000 seat
gym we would gross about $60,000 on basketball attendance."
And in a good year, mind you—this season, for example, there
have been empty seats at practically every home game. Now
deduct from that amount the light bill, upkeep, heating, etc.
. "The maintenance on such a building is tremendous," Beard
continued. "You would have to hire a man full-time just to man­age
it. At the present time the athletic department can't build
or maintain such a structure. We are still paying for three
bond issues on Cliff Hare and one on the athletic dorm."
So, as we see it, there remain only two sources of in­come
to float a bond issue for the "new gym": the state of
Alabama, or the students of Auburn University. The student
approach to the problem is unrealistic—at least on the sur­face.
Therefore, it remains for the state to build us a new
gym. t
Empty Promises
Only too well do we remember a certain candidate for gov­ernor
standing on a flat-bed truck at Toomer's Corner, with
a hillbilly band in the background, saying that he would do
everything in his power (if elected, of course) to get us a
new gym. That same man is now in Montgomery (or Denver, or
Michigan, or Chicago), where post cards from 10,000 Auburn
students might remind him of that speech he made on Toomer's
Corner.
Please do not gather from these words that we are con­demning
Johnny Jeffers or his committee for their misdirect­ed
efforts. To the contrary, we salute them for their action.
"This publicity is a good idea," said Coach Beard, "Maybe
if they make enough people conscious of our needs some action
will be taken . . . but they should emphasize the other uses of
such a building, because too many people are opposed to
athletics." i
So here is the situation: Auburn has the smallest and oldest
sports arena in the SEC. But our athletic department can't build
a new one, our alumni have been drained dry, the student body
will still be paying on the Union Building for decades to come,
and the state of Alabama is too busy hiring new highway pa­trolmen
to tend to her educational needs!
Gentlemen All (?) . . .
Have you ever noticed what a hard time the Auburn foot­ball
players give opposing basketball coaches? With the likes of
Tucker Frederickson, Mike Helms, "Shorty" Rose and Bill Van
Dyke sitting behind us and yelling at us, we would be afraid to
jump up off the bench and dispute practically every decision the
referee makes. But coaches like Whack Hyder, Red Lawson,
Baron Rupp and Ray Mears still insist on doing it.
Perhaps the 1964 basketball Tigers won't go down in the
school records as a "great" team, but you can bet your bottom
dollar that you have never seen Bill Lynn (or Joal Eaves) be­have
the way some of their contemporaries do. And it will be
a cold day in Hades before you'll see an Auburn Tiger assessed
with two consecutive technical fouls (as was Larry Mcintosh of
Tennessee last Monday night). Sometimes we do wish the Tigers
were more aggressive—but we will always be-proud that they
aren't charged with technical fouls for unsportsman-like
conduct, etc.

weekend for the Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling
Association matches after having defeated Carson-New­man
at Jefferson City, Tenn., and Maryville College at

the boys have a good chance
of winning in the SEIWA tour­nament.
In last weekend's meets, the
Auburn varsity team defeated
Carson-Newman and Mary­ville
by the scores of 27-6 and
30-3 respectively.
Bob Factora, 123 pounder,
of Auburn, won by decisions

won the decision 3-2.
In the 167 pound class, Car­mine
Chimento of Auburn de­feated
Wilbur Taylor of Car­son-
Newman by a decision of
4-0 and pinned Adam Deviney

According to Coach Umbach,
the varsity team will have a
lot of strength by the addition
of the men to the team next
year. He added that with
enough desire and determina­tion,
some of the boys could
possibly become outstanding in
the national finals.

Frosh To Face Alabama Christian
In Preliminary Hoop Competition
By CHARLEY MAJORS
Auburn's basketball Tigers will face their state rival
Saturday as they meet the Crimson Tide of Alabama
at 8:00 in the Garrett Coliseum at Montgomery.
This will be the second meeting of the two teams
with Alabama winning the first match of the season.
In the first game the Tide
made 60 per cent of their shots
against the Tigers.
In a preliminary game, the
Auburn freshmen are schedul­ed
to meet the Alabama Chris­tian
quintet at 6 p.m. This is
the frosh five's final game of
the season.
Alabama, under the direc­tion
of Coach Hayden Riley,
has one of their best ball clubs
this year. Coach Riley has ra~
ted them as the best in the
five years he has been head
coach.
Coach Bill Lynn of the Ti­gers
says that the game will
be a rough one for the Plains­men
against the tall 'Bama
team. The starting five from
Tuscaloosa average almost six
foot four inches. Andrews, the
Alabama center, stands 6'5".
Their two starting forwards,
Bambi Howland and J. W.
Berry, both a r e 6'4". The

Bill McCormick will compete
in the 60-yard dash and broad

be held in the afternoon with
the finals slated for Saturday
night. Rosen will accompany
Smith a n d McCormick to
Louisville for the meet.
Teams entered in the meet
will include almost all of the
SEC schools and all of the
Big 10 institutions. O t h er
Eastern schools are expected
to have entries in the track
and field events.
McCormick posted wins in
the 60-yard dash and broad
jump in the SEC Indoor Meet
recently, while Smith won the
600-yard run in the same meet.
guards a r e Bob Perry, 6'4",
and Ken Moses, 6'1".
This height will be a definite
advantage for the Tide against
the Auburn squad which does
not have the all around height
that 'Bama does'.
Alabama runs various de­fenses.
Last time the teams
met they played a zone against
the Tigers; however, Auburn
is expecting anything to hap­pen
and any defense to be
played.
Coach Lynn had high praise
for several Auburn players,
especially Freddie Guy and
Larry Chapman. The coach r e ­garded
Guy as the most im­proved
player on the team and
said that Chapman has aided
the squad tremendously.
Tigers Drop Pair

Kentucky meets Tennessee in
Knoxville Saturday afternoon.
Behind 40-34 at intermission^
the Vols rallied to take the
lead 43-42 early in the second
period. However, Auburn trad­ed
buckets with the taller Ten-nesseans
and led 56-52 late in
the contest before the Vols
managed to pull away.
A. W. Davis of Tennessee led
all scorers with 22 points, 14
of which came in the first per­iod
of play. Playmaker Danny
Shultz and Howard Bayne had
14 each to follow Davis. Shultz'
accuracy at the foul line (eight
of nine), ball handling, and
key baskets at crucial mo­ments
was the spark the Vols
needed.
Tennessee hit on 23 of 44
shots from the field for a 52.3

Quarterback Jimmy Sidle,

Independent Basketball
Produces Five Winners
By BILL POWELL
High scoring highlighted in­tramural
basketball last week,
as the Independent basketball
season came to a close with
Rebels, Trotters, Sports, Tigers,
and Newman winning their re­spective
league titles.
FRATERNITY BASKETBALL
Leauge One
•League One ended play last
week with SAE winning the
league championship undefeat­ed.
Leagues two, three, and
four finish this week with KA
and ATO assured of at least
a tie for first place in each
league and PKA already cham­pion
of League Four without
defeat.
. League One
SAE completed its perfect
season in style as it ripped past
PKP. 60-31. Ben Easterling was
top scorer for the victorious
SAE's as he hit for 20 points,
while Frank Bonham's 8 points
were tops for PKP.
PDT finished in second place
with a win over PGD. Julian
Stallard's 16 points led PDT to
their 4133 victory, while Jim­my
Hutchenson was high for
PGD with 13.
PDT was also victorious in a
close game with KS with the
scoring ended 49-40. Again
Stallard was high man for PDT
while Billy Sport's 20 points
were high for the losing KS's.
League Two
PKT, with three victories last
week, moved within one game
of the first place ATO's as they
each have only one game re­maining.
PKT trampled TKE by an
overwhelming score of 83-15.
This is the highest scoring done
by a fraternity team this sea­son.
John Treadwell was the
main man offensively for PKT
as he netted 24 points. Follow­ing
closely were Jimmy Good­win
and Bill Hatley with 18
points each. David Reese con-'
tinued to be high ,;Wi&tv iSt
TKE as he scored -11 points.
PKT defeated DC in a play-of
a protested g a m e by
a score of 44-33. Tom Mit­chell
and Treadwell scored 15
apiece to lead PKT in scoring
while Danny Cannon was tops
for DC with 12 points.
ATO remained in first place
with a 56-50 victory over OTS.
Pat Browne's 12 points in the
first half gave ATO the needed
margin as the game was close
all the way. Robert Nay's 19
points paced OTS in scoring in-this
hard fought game.
Other.action found PKT win-:
ning their third game of the
week as they whipped SN 55"
44. Mitchell and Treadwell led
PKT in scoring as each netted
16 points. Pete McKenzie and
Bert Casey were tops for SN
with 13 points each.
League Three
AGR, by ripping DU 67-35,
kept alive their chances of a
possible tie for first place. They
are two games behind league-leading
KA with each having
two games to play. Dan Nichol's
hot shooting gave AGR an ear­ly
lead against the cold DU's
and also was high man for
AGR with 23 points. Charles
Flint was best for DU with 14.
The only other league game
found SP defeating DU 55-39.
Ron Nunn led the SP attack
with 23 points, while Dick Ash-ford
paced the DU's in scoring
with 13 points.
League Four
PKA ended its season with­out
a blemish as it won three
games last week. The victories
came with wins over SC, BP,
and SPE by scores of 48-27,
59-30, and 47-41 respectively.
Jim Thomas and Jim Elliott
led the PKA attack in each
game.
TC won both of its games
last week with ease as it de­feated
SPE by a surprising
score of 54-11 and SC by a
score of 74-41. Robert Sander­son's
25 points was the main
factor in TC's win over SC.
John Roper was tops for SC
with 20 points. Jeff McCord
led TC in scoring against SPE
as he netted 12 points.

By HAL LEE
One of Auburn's most out­standing
wrestlers is five feet,
ten inch, Henry Starnes. Henry,
who comes from Alexander
City is a sophomore in textile
management.
Auburn wrestling c o a c h,
Swede Umbach, said, "Henry is
potentially a good wrestler and
has a fine chance of finishing
in the nationals before leaving
Auburn. Henry is made for
wrestling, he's quick, has lots
of endurance, and remains very
loose before a match."
Henry finished second last
year in the 154-pound class of
the Southeastern Intercollegiate
Wrestling Association Tourna­ment.
Prior to this, he had been
the Alabama high school state
champion for three years. Last
season he had an overall re­cord
of eleven wins with only
two losses.
When asked why he had
chosen Auburn as the place to
do his wrestling, instead of go­ing
to a college that offered a
scholarship to wrestlers, Henry
had this to say, "I came to Au­burn
because it is close to my
hometown (approximately 40
miles), and because I received
a lot of encouragement from my
high school coach who also
graduated from here."
Henry also stated that Coach
Umbach lent a helping hand in
his final decision as to his
choice of colleges.
One of the best liked mem­bers
of the wrestling squad,
Henry demands the respect of
his fellow teammates for his
tremendous knowledge and
skill of wrestling.

WSGA Candidates Interviewed
Presidential Hopefuls Discuss
Purpose And Administration
The following is an inter­view
conducted with Miss
Penny Peth and Miss Sherrill
Williams, WSGA presidential
candidates. The purpose of this
interview is to inform all stu­dents
of the broad role played
by the Women's Student Gov­ernment
Association. It is hop­ed
that the interview will
serve the additional purpose of
providing prospective women
voters with a clear view of
the candidates' stand on some
important issues.—Ed.
D R I N K I NG
Would you support a rule
permitting girls over 21 years of
age to drink alcoholic bever­ages?
PETH: Yes, I would support
a drinking rule if it passed
WSGA. I cannot see any rea­son
to keep Auburn isolated
from the state and nation by
not allowing a girl, who is by­law
of age at 21, the choice of
drinking or not drinking.
If we are to meet the chal­lenges
of the times, and this is
certainly one of them, then we
must face up to our beliefs and
carry them out to the best of
our ability. I have been very
disturbed of late concerning the
drinking problem here due to
the fact that drinking seems to
be going on by women students
according to reports from many
different sources.
To me, it would be most un­wise
to keep a rule with which
so many people disagree, and
which with time will breed
more and more discontent due
to girls resenting being told
that they cannot drink at 21
even if they so desire, especial­ly
if that rule were not being
enforced.
WILLIAMS: Yes. The point
made by Dean Caterl recently
regarding this rule was admitt­edly
a good one. Men and wo­men
of all ages need conscious
control of their thinking and
reasoning capacities at all times
in order to cope with the situa­tions
and problems of the pre­sent
and future. Medical re­search
shows that alcohol slows
reflexes, etc.—but I do not
think that an unenforceable
rule, which in practice serves
to punish—and severely punish
—at best one-tenth of the of­fenders,
is always wise. Our
drinking rule at present falls
into this very category. When

arisen concerning current eco­nomic
policy, Ritland men­tions,
among other things, the
question of foreign trade, es­pecially
imports. Many of his
students feel that foreign im­ports
hurt the economy.
He pointed out that usually
the country we buy one item
from will, in turn, buy some­thing
that it needs from us.
By buying textiles from Japan,
it. is able to buy machinery
from the U.S. In fact, Ritland
staled, the balance between
imports is fairly well at a state
of equilibrium. Most of the
problems that we have in our
economics, he feels, arise from
other sources. Chief among
these are foreign aid and de­fense
spending—yet both are
of great importance to the sur­vival
of freedom and national
security.
Thene is one issue that Rit­land
feels must be cleared
from the books. He believes
that the nation is misusing the
money with which it subsides
agriculture. Here he citefs a
major cleavage in governmen­tal
policy. On one hand the
f e d e r a l government helps
farmers to produce more—
while at the same time paying
others not to produce at all.
This incongrous situation, he
contends, could be alleviated
by gradual withdrawal of sub­sidies.
Those farmers who
could no l o n g e r produce
would, ideally, be relocated
and taught new skills.
The issues surrounding such
a move make it a very diffi­cult
one to make. Such a de­cision
would incur the wrath
of many people, as would any
undertaking of such magni­tude
he says.
Here is involved another
failure of many citizens—pre­conceived
opinions. Professor
Ritland hinted that a great
deal of his teaching time is
spent not teaching, but tearing
down the various preconceived
opinions of his students.

our state and nation allows 21
year old adults to legally drink
alcoholic beverages, I do not
feel that our university can lo­gically
afford to do otherwise.
I do not advocate the practice
of drinking, nor do I feel that
Auburn University should—but
I strongly believe that the Wo­men's
Student Government As­sociation
should no longer re­tain
this redundant rule which
strictly forbids alcoholic bever­ages
to any Auburn woman stu­dent,
regardless of age and ma­turity.
Our student body has an un­usually
good conduct reputa­tion
in comparison with the
larger universities of our state
and nation. We can well afford
to grant the mature 21 year-old
segment of our group the pri­vilege
of drinking if it desires,
rather than retain a rule which
is consistently broken and un­derstandably,
not respected.
THE A D M I N I S T R A T I ON
A rule covering apartment
permission for junior and sen­ior
girls with parent's permis­sion
was passed by WSGA last
spring. Since that time, the
rule was overridden by higher
authority. (A) Do you think
that this rule was irresponsible?
(B) What is your attitude con­cerning
the overriding of such
WSGA-F.ponsored rules by ad­ministrative
personnel?
(A)
PETH: No.
WILLIAMS: 1 do not feel
that this rule could possibly
be construed as irresponsible
by any informed person. It was
debated and considered for
many hours by experienced re­presentatives
of Auburn's wo­men
students in presence of
Dean Cater, Miss Bradley, etc.,
at the annual Rules Workshop
last spring.
The rule which we finally
passed was intended to be for
the benefit of all concerned—
the women students, our Wo­men's
Student Government As­sociation,
the University admin­istration,
AND the City of Au­burn.
All these elements were
taken into careful consideration.
(B)
PETH: Of course, the admin­istration
has the authority to
overrule WSGA in any of its
decisions if it so wishes. How­ever,
I very definitely feel that
they should not override the
decisions of WSGA without
giving it time to present its
reasons for making the decis­ion.
Being Chairman of a Rules
Workshop last spring made me
realize that these rules do not
get changed by WSGA even,
without some good thoughts—
backing them up.
For this reason I feel that the
administration should consider
letting a few representatives
from WSGA speak to them
honestly and frankly on their
reasons, before they make any
final decision themselves.
WILLIAMS: When such a
rule can be so easily demolish­ed
and completely taken away
from us by some group not
even represented at Rules
Workshop or even concerned
enough to contact some one of
us who helped devise this rule,
then the Women's Student Gov­ernment
Association is render­ed
completely useless. It be­comes,
in effect, a joke—serv­ing
no real function, except
perhaps to enforce restrictions
placed on girls for breaking
certain rules which originated
"who knows where?"
SPEAKING OUT
Do you think that WSGA
should voice its support or non-support
(along with student
body officials) on such matters
as academic freedom?
PETH U n d e r s t a n d a b ly
WSGA is an organization of
and for the women students
and its dealings are going to
center around the women. How­ever,
I feel that with such mat­ters
as academic freedom
which definitely does deal with
the women students, WSGA
should give its opinions, be
they positive or negative. The
only means of arriving at an
hypothesis or an answer to stu­dents'
opinions is to actually
hear these opinions voiced by
men and women students alike.
I would very definitely like to
see WSGA take a part in the
controversial questions which
arise.
WILLIAMS: All women stu­dents
automatically form a part
of the Student Government As­sociation.
If the Women's Stu­dent
Government Association
is given the privilege of actual­ly
rather than theoretically
governing the conduct of our
women students, it will un­doubtedly
have its hands full.
Organizing and maintaining a
true governmental association
of, by, and for the women stu­dents
is certainly a purpose in
itself worthwhile enough of an
organization devoted solely to
this purpose—the WSGA.
Attitudes toward academic
freedom, etc., can be voiced
more effectively, I believe,
through the part women take in
our student government asso­ciation
than they can or should
be through WSGA.
RULE ENFORCEMENT
Do you think that operational
rules of WSGA regarding such
matters as restrictions should
be strictly enforced?
PETH: In order for any sys­tem
to be effective, the rules
on which it is based must be
carried out to the very best of
that system's ability. The Wo­men's
Student Government As­sociation
is no exception.
If we are to have rules, then
they must be carried out.
Otherwise, the entire organiza­tion
would be labeled a farce
and would become a slave un­to
itself. I don't, however, feel
that if a restriction must be

served by a girl, she can be
excused for no reason. This
would cause discontent and a
general hate to form against
the Association.
The reasons enabling a wo­man
to be excused from a re­striction
should be few, show­ing
that WSGA is going to pun­ish
if the woman does break
a rule, but at the same time,
showing the women that WSGA
is not trying to completely dom­inate
their lives.
WILLIAMS: When a group of
any kind organizes and gov­erns
itself through a set of
rules, I think it should be will­ing
to strictly enforce all of
these rules. This should hold
true for WSGA as well, When
we do make our own rules. I
think we should seriously eval­uate
all our rules and penalties,
from the smallest one to the
oldest and most "traditional"
one on campus. They're cer­tainly
not perfect, but I am pos­itive
that they all can be im­proved,
replaced, or done away
with, to the extent that the
women students of Auburn
University will have a set of
rules which are reasonable,en­forceable,
and respected, and
which continue to encourage
lady-like and admirable be­havior
by all of us.
Such rules, once made, should
definitely be enforced, and any
penalties or restrictions incur­red
should be carried out in
full. Cases of emergency (as so
recognized by the Rules Work­shop)
should be given consider­ation—
but cases of mere con­venience
should never be, or
the function of any rules or
any attempt at self-government
would soon be obsolete.

season by a score of 84-65.
Buisson and Millsap each hit
for 19 points and Faircloth
tossed in 15 to back the high
scoring efforts of Montgomery.
On Monday afternoon, the
Auburn frosh played one of
their poorest games, but ral­lied
late to win convincingly
as they trimmed the Walker
Junior College squad 79-60 be­hind
the scoring of Bobby
Buisson and Tee Faircloth. i
Faircloth tied his two best
scoring games back to back as
he notched 21 points against
Walker to go with his 15 in his
previous game with Columbus.
Buisson led the Baby Tigers in
scoring with a late burst of
baskets that netted him 22
points for the contest. Randy

Thomas added 16 points to
round out the leading scorers
for the freshmen. Paul Denney
led the Walker attack with 22
points and Lonnie Tucker add­ed
12 to lead the Rebels in
scoring.
In the first half, the Baby
Tigers were unable to put to­gether
a consistent attack and
struggled to a 30-27 halftime
lead as Coach Randy Davalos
substituted frequently trying
to find the right combination.
Buddy Edwards, Haley Milli-gan,
Myles Butler and John
Caruthers all saw action in the
first half and Edwards subbed
for foul stricken Jimmy Mont­gomery
throughout most of the
final half. The action picked
up in the second half as the
game got a little rougher and
the freshmen began to find the
range as Faircloth began to hit
from outside and Buisson pen­etrated
the Rebels' zone de­fense
for some difficult layups.
