Student Senate
Fails To Approve
Relations Council
By RON CASTILLE
A motion to establish a Collegiate Council on Human
Relations here aroused a controversy in the Student
Senate meeting Monday night, but was defeated in a
Senate roll call vote.
Approval would have given
the Council, whose stated pur­pose
is to "provide opportuni­ties
for cultural exchange and
understanding on political, re­ligious,
aesthetic, intellectual,
social and economic subjects
amcng Auburn students," a
one-year probationary status on
the campus. At the end of that
period, it would have had to
obtain Senate approval for per­manent
status.
The controversy arose when
questions were raised as to a
possible relationship of the or­ganization
with the Alabama
Human Relations Association,
which recently underwent in­vestigation
by the Alabama
Legislature. Financing funds of
this organization were report­edly
derived from civil rights
organizations.
Superintendent of Organiza­tions
Jeff Stein, who placed the
Council's petition before the
Senate, denied any relationship
between the two organizations.
He said, however, that al­though
the proposed organiza­tion
would deal with all as­pects
of human relations, pres­ent
emphasis would be placed
on civil rights. But he assured
the Senate that no demonstra­tions,
sit-ins or other cijyl
rights activities were included
in the Council's plans.
The main purpose of the or­ganization,
in this respect, he
said, would be discussion of at­titudes
and questions in the civil
rights area.
Student Body President
George McMillan, Jr., told the
Plainsman that the Senate's ac­tion
was "not against freedom
of expression or the right of an
individual to think and speak
as he pleases," but rather that
the organization's petition need­ed
further consideration and
discussion.
The finance methods of the
proposed Council were also
questioned. The fear that funds
from civil rights movements
would be used to finance guest
speakers and lecturers for the
Council was raised.
Several Senate members also
questioned the Council's pro­posed
membership plans. The
petition stated that any inter­ested
person could join the club
in the capacity of an associate
member. Most existing campus
clubs and organizations contain
this clause in their charter.
According to Senate proce­dural
rules, the motion will be
brought before t h e Senate
again for further consideration.

Discipline Board Puts
Million On Probation
By SANSING SMITH
Tom Millican has been placed on disciplinary proba*
tion by the University Men's Discipline Committee for
alleged actions "Unbecoming an Auburn student," and
fined $150 in Opelika City Court on separate trespassing
Noted Showman
To Appear Here
Shearen Elebash, once a con­tender
for the governor's chair
in Alabama and a native of
Selma, will entertain here May
12. The performance will be
held in the Union Ballroom at
8:15 p.m. There is no charge
and the public is invited.
As a public and civic leader
who has received nation recgni-tion,
Elebash is billed as the
"the eighth wonder of show
business," for his entertaining
periods of music, thought- pro­voking
humor, classic recital,
and electrifying flashes at so­ciety.
Elebash attended the Choate
School in Wallingford, Conn.
(See page 2, column 5)
charges.
The disciplinary probation
was in connection with an at­tempted
demonstration April 22
during a speech by Gov. George
Wallace at Cliff Hare Stadium.
Millican, a junior in history
told the Plainsman that he ap­peared
before the disciplinary
body April 22 and received a
letter yesterday from President
Ralph Draughon notifying him
of the group's action. Dean of
Student Affairs James E. Foy
said that it was university pol­icy
for the Discipline Commit­tee
not to release information
on its actions.
Disciplinary probation re­stricts
a student from partici­pating
in any scholastic contest
representing Auburn Univer­sity.
Students on probation can­not
hold student body position
for pay.
While on probation the stu­dent
"must conduct himself in
an exemplary manner or ap­pear
again before the discipline
committee."
In the Opelika case, Millican
was found guilty Monday by
Judge Thomas Samford of tres-pessing
after warning at Dar-den
High School, and trespass­ing
on school property. A
charge of disturbing a lawful
assembly was dropped.
Millican, 2l,';of Valley HeacfT
was released 'on $300 bond
pending appeal to Lee County
Circuit Court. He said bond was
put up by two "concerned Au­burn
citizens." Both were white.
It was understood that the
American Civil Liberties Union
had interested itself in the case
and had offered to provide legal
assistance for Millican.
Millican stated that the Disci­pline
Committee had received a
written report from the Opelika
Police concerning his charges at
the time they questioned him,
but that they made no mention
to him of these charges when
he appeared before the com­mittee
a week ago.
According to Millican, he was
first called before school auth­orities
shortly before he was to
lead Negro high school students
in a demonstration at Gov.
Wallace's speech.
He was taken to the Office of
Student Affairs in a police car
and detained there throughout
the speech. Dean Foy arrived
an hour later, Millican said, and
asked him to make a written
statement of his activities of the
past several days in connection
with the proposed demonstra­tion.
He appeared before the Men's

Architectural Plans in Final Stages
Bond Issue Assures Auburn Sports Arena
By SANSING SMITH
With the passage of a $110 million
education bond issue by the State Legis­lature
last Thursday, Auburn is assured
of getting its sports arena-auditorium.
Approximately $12 million of revenue
from the bond issue is designated for
Auburn. The Board of Trustees has
given top priority to the construction of
the $4.25 million dual purpose arena-auditorium.
Rep. Sim A. Thomas of Eufaula, Au­burn
Trustee and chairman of a special
committee appointed by Gov. George C.
Wallace to develop plans for the arena,
told the Plainsman that he will call a
meeting within the next two weeks with
other members of the committee, the
architects, and university representatives
to work out final architectural plans.
Thomas said he hoped to be able to
submit plans to the Board of Trustees for
its approval at the Board's next meeting
in June and that the arena should be
open by December of 1966.
"It's a tremendous building and will
take well over a year to construct," he
explained.
Sherlock, Smith, and Adams of Mont­gomery
are architects for the building
which will be located just southwest of
Cliff Hare Stadium. The special commit­tee
will begin advertising for bids im­mediately
after approval by the Board
of Trustees.
The 3109- by 370-foot building will
have 13,000 seats for basketball with
additional seating on the floor for non-athletic
events when it is used as an
auditorium. The basketball area will be
large enough for three practice courts
with nine large locker and dressing
rooms.
The building will have office suites
for the athletic director and head foot­ball
coach, 10 two-man coaches' offices,
a public relations office, photographic
darkroom, and ticket-administration of­fice.
The structure will be able to handle
a physical education program for up to
6,500 students with an auxiliary indoor
gymnasium included.
There will be two general activities
rooms, five special activities rooms, four
class-rooms, 23 faculty offices, dressing
rooms capable of handling 500 male stu­dents
and 375 female students, all equip­ped
with lockers.
The building will include a weight-training
room, gymnastics room and four
hand-ball courts.
Outside facilities will include 15 vol­leyball
courts, 10 basketball courts, a
target archery range, a field archery
range and 12 acres of space for soccer,
touch football, Softball and speedball.
Other facilities planned for construc­tion
include a Teacher-Education Build­ing,
a general classroom building and
small animal clinic for the School of
Veterinary Medicine. These two latter
constructions Will complete relocation
of that school.
According to President Draughon,
funds for construction in such fields as
veterinary medicine, pharmacy, and other
health-related sciences will attract some
$2 million in matching funds from the
Federal Government.
Need for a teacher-education facility
has long been felt, according to adminis­tration
officials. Enrollment in the
School of Educaiton has nearly doubled
since 1950. No additional space has been
available to take care of the phenomenal
growth or for addition of faculty.

Parks anywhere
You can stand on your head ] • £ looking for a place
to park on most campuses. Um And all you end
lip with is a headache. But ^ ^ not if you ride a
Honda. It needs only as much elbow room as you with
an armload of books. So you can squeeze in a little closer
to that 8 o'clock class than your 4-wheel competition.
A Honda helps keep you solvent as well as sane. Prices
start about $215*. You'll get up to 200 mpg, depending on
the model. And practically never need service. The
star performer above is the GB-160. Just one of the 15
Honda models. With its 4-stroke, twin cylinder engine
and 16.5 HP, this showoffdoes better than 80 mph. Look

and was informed yesterday by
letter from Dr. Draughon of the
committee's recommendation
that he be "placed on disciplin­ary
probation, effective immed­iately,
for the remainder of his
undergraduate program at Au­burn
University."
In the Opelika incident, Mil­lican
was arrested for holding
a meeting of Negro students at
the football field of their high
school in Opelika. The school
principal, W. E. Morton, said
that Millican did not have per­mission
to be on the campus
and warned him to leave or he
would be arrested.
After police came to take
Millican from the meeting, the
students began yelling a nd
pounding in protest, which dis­turbed
a fashion show being
held in the school's auditorium.
The charge for disturbing this
lawful assembly was dropped
since Millican had already been
arrested and taken away when
the disturbance began.

Student Absentee Voting Action
Stalemated For Several Months
By JOHN COLE
Action on a student absentee
voting bill, now ready for dis­cussion
on the State Senate
floor, cannot be expected until
the middle of the summer, a
reliable State Senate source told
the Plainsman this week.
The bill, which would enable
students to use mail-in ballots
similar to those used by Ala­bama
citizens in the armed
service and invalids passed pre­liminary
Senate committees
several weeks ago. A filibuster
over the $116 million education
bond issue delayed introduction
of the bill during the special
session.
The bill is sponsored by Sen­ators
Lawrence Dumas of Bir­mingham,
and John Tyson of
Application Open
For Student Posts
Applications are now being
accepted for appointive Student
Government positions, George
McMillan, Student Government
President, has announced.
McMillan will hold interviews
in the Student Government Of­fice,
room 319 of the Union
Building from 1 to 5 p.m. be­ginning
Friday and continuing
through Tuesday.
Offices open to appointment
are listed under the Executive
Cabinet, and include such posi­tions
as superintendents, direc­tors,
committee heads and
members, and assignments for
special projects and functions.
Appointments will be based
on the applicant's desire and
ability to work, McMillan said.
Emphasizing the need for stu­dent
interest in these offices,
McMillan commented, "It will
put life and personality in our
Student Government. All appli­cants
will be considered and
utilized in some area."
Appointments for interviews
may be made by calling Mc­Millan
at the Student Govern­ment
Office, extension 315.
Mobile.
Sen. Dumas told the Plains­man
that although he regretted
the delay in getting the bill on
the floor, much interest has
been stimulated in absentee
voting of college students, fa­miliarizing
many legislators
with the bill.
He commented that he be­lieved
the chances for passage
of the measure are "very good,"
and added that the only opposi­tion
he could foresee was "the
opposition position that always
faces any proposed absentee
voting bill."
As the laws stands now, a
student must register for absen­tee
voting by March 1 prior to
the election year. He may then
vote in his home precinct in a
15-day period which begins 20
days before the elections, ac­cording
to county officials here.

Auburn Orchestra
Takes Bookings
After Rebuilding
By KIM OVERCASH
The Auburn K n i g h t s , the
band which has almost become
an Auburn tradition, is begin­ning
to book jobs again this
quarter, after a rebuilding pro­gram
which began last fall.
The Knights, starting t h is
season with only five returning
musicians, have f i l l e d their
ranks with new personnel. Fif­teen
pieces are at present incor­porated
in the band.
"This quarter ends a great
r e b u i l d i n g y e a r f o r the
Knights," according to F r ed
Kennedy, business manager of
the group. "We are proud that
we built up to full strength
from five returning players this
year, and look forward to a
fine year ahead," he said.
The band has already played
for the Sabre Military Formal
in Augusta and for the Annis-ton
County Club this quarter
and is planning two more en­gagements
in A u g u s t a a nd
Gadsden within the next few
weeks.
The Auburn Knights w e re
organized in 1928. A u b u r n ' s
reputation as the college jazz
center of the southeast is evi­denced
by such Knights' alumni
as Urbie Green, top New York
recording artist, Bob Richard­son,
and Dave Edwards, who
played with the Glenn Miller
Band.
In the past, they have backed
such well - known entertainers
as The Four Freshmen, June
Cristy, Joni James, 1L.es Paul
and Mary Ford, George Jessel,
and Dave Gardner.
Radio Program
Is Inaugurated
For Students
By JOHN COLE
A new radio program which
has its purpose informing Au­burn
students of campus activi­ties
and n e w s affecting t he
campus has been in operation
on WABT radio, dial 580 for
about a month.
"Our Man in Auburn," is the
program's name. It is emceed
by Bill Kennedy, who says he
believes t h e ordinary n e ws
media cannot provide enough
space for complete coverage of
University news.
The format is designed to be
loose and flexible. This lack of
rigidness allows the show to
deal with current topics of in­terest
to Auburn students, Ken­nedy
said.
Interviews are the main fea­ture
of the show, although the
entire p r o g r a m is interlaced
with music. Running on WABT,
dial 580, the show can be heard
each week from 2 to 4 p.m.
each Sunday.
The interviews are with per­sonalities
which are of inter­est
to the student body. Inter­views
d u r i n g the first four
weeks that the show has been
on the air have been with such
people as G e o r g e McMillan,
president of the Auburn Stu­dent
Body; the five Miss Au­burn
candidates; Harry Hooper;
"Shug" Jordan; and others.
Kennedy hopes, in the future,
to have a show centering its
emphasis on politics. This pro-ram
would concern itself with
politics of interest to University
students, such as appropriations
for the proposed sports arena
or the election of student body
officers.
"A well informed s t u d e n t
body not only takes a m e re
worthwhile part in school ac­tivities,
but is also more inter­ested
in the betterment of the
University. I hope my program,
'Our Man in Auburn,' will
help keep Auburn students bet­ter
i n f o r m e d about their
school," commented Kennedy.

Fifty-Voice College Concert Choir
Closes Most Successful Season
Fifty voices from every school and department at Auburn,
make up what Lawrence Rosenbaurm, director of choral
activities, has termed "one of the finest performing groups in
the South."'. '
He was talking about the Au­burn
University Concert Choir,
for which this quarter finishes
up a year of performances and
tours over the state, and an ap­pearance
on nationwide radio.
Rosenbaum is director of the
choir and has accompanied it
in its performances and tours.
The choir began this per­forming
year fall quarter when
it joined forces with the Au­burn
University Mixed Chorus
and Orchestra to present
Handel's "Messiah."
This past Christmas the
choir was one of twelve in the
United States to be selected by
the ABC radio network to pre­sent
a special program of
Christmas music. The program
was heard coast to coast on
Christmas Eve.
The next performance, again
with the University Orchestra
was the presentation of Ralph
Vaughn Williams' "Serenade to
Music."
This quarter was spent pre­paring
a tour program which
was presented in South Ala­bama
at Andalusia High School,
and at Cottage Hill Baptist
Church, B. C. Rains High
School and Semmes High
School, all in Mobile.
While in Mobile, the choir
taped a television program for
WKRG-TV. Parts of this pro­gram
were presented on. the
Jackie Richards Show on April
23. The entire program will be
presented as a feature in May.
The choir presented its an­nual
Spring Concert program
at the Auburn Union Ballroom
on April 23. It will join the
Mixed Chorus on May 25 in
a performance of "Elijah" by
Mendelssohn.
'This has been a wonderful
year for the choir," Professor
Rosenbaum commented to the
Plainsman. "They have per­formed
well and often." He said
the group is making prepara­tion
for programs to be pre­sented
next year on campus
and for an extensive tour of
the public schools of Alabama.

The Senate Has Encouraged Militancy
Fear and prejudice overcame the
true spirit of education in the Student
Senate Monday night. Our disappoint­ment
is hard to express. '
The Auburn Human Relations Coun­cil,
a group dealing mainLv in legitimate
civil rights endeavors, was denied cam­pus
recognition because of fear . . .
fear of its ideas, its possible "connec­tions,"
and what it "might" become.
The leaders oi the proposed group
assured time and again that their pur­pose
is not to "sit-in," to "lie-in," or
to engage in the militant activities of
the civil rights movement. Their
avowed purpose is to educate through
the media of speakers and group dis­cussion.
Yet in an educational community,
which should welcome the open dis­cussion
of all ideas, they were not even
entitled to a year of probation. They
were not even given a chance.
This is no "fly-by-night" scheme.
The organizers of the Human Relations
Council are responsible students who
have diligently endeavored to organize
a solid group and to meet all the re­quirements
for campus recognition.
In denying recognition to responsi­ble
individuals, the Senate has en­couraged
militancy. How do those
senators who voted against responsible
people expect responsibility to prevail?
How are the "good" people expected to
maintain control?
As for what the Council "might" be­come,
that situation could easily be
worked out at that time, if that time
ever comes.
Nor should we worry about "con­nections."
The council strongly denies
connection with any group which
might be vaguely considered undesira­ble,
and no one has produced any evi­dence
to the contrary.
Surely the Senate, after careful
thought, will reconsider the Council's
petition on the basis of its merit as a
group, rather than on the basis of its
ideas. One of the dissenting members
of the Senate has said that more in­vestigation
is needed.
The Human Relations Council is de­serving
of the same chance any other
legitimate, responsible organization is
given.
Demopolis Deserves Praise
The city of Demopolis deserves praise
for its handling of recent racial prob­lems.
Rather than drawing battle lines and
resisting all change, Mayor Ed Bailey
listened to the complaints of Negro
demonstrators, weighed these com­plaints
on their merits and offered a
set of proposed solutions.
These proposals were more than
generous, going far beyond what might
be expected. The Mayor set up a bi-racial
committee, offered to meet with
Negro leaders on several topics and
promised city help in the area of jobs
and voting.
This was especially generous since
from all reports many of the demon­strations
were simply school children
having a good time.
Mayor Bailey did not "give in," as
some may charge. He made a few de­mands
of his own, including the cessa­tion
of all demonstrations before any
action was taken.
The Mayor deserves not only recogni­tion
but praise for his far-sightedness.
Repeal Compulsory Meal Ticket
The women's dining hall has been
a source of constant controversy over
the years, so much so that one tends
to charge the whole thing to the femi­nine
capacity for complaint.
But apparently something is wrong,
even if constantly incoming reports are
exaggerated. We will not comment on
food quality since we have little first
hand knowledge, and from all reports
quality has taken an upturn lately any­way.
Our concern is that girls are re­quired
to pay for meals in the dining
hall whether they eat there or not,
and that meal tickets may be used only
by the person who purchased them.
This system is grossly unfair.
There was a time when it was neces­sary
for all girls to eat in the dining
hall in order to pay the balance due
on the then-new dorms. This, we un­derstand,
is no longer the case. Yet
the compulsory meal ticket plan is still
in effect.
Then it is obviously wrong for a girl
to pay for a meal and not be allowed to
give it away. Since many girls eat out
and forfeit their dining hall meals,
either food is wasted or extra money
is going into dining hall tills.
We have yet to hear a sensible ex­planation
for these requirements.
Why can't the dining hall be put on a
pay-as-you-go basis, prices raised and
let it go into competition with other
eating establishments.
There would be fewer complaints
and the dining hall would probably be
put on a profitable footing, much like
the War Eagle Cafeteria.
In any case, a repeal of the com­pulsory
meal ticket policy is long over­due.
Welcome To An Outstanding Journalist
The Auburn Plainsman is pleased to
have as our guest tomorrow night
Eugene Patterson, editor of the Atlanta
Constitution.
Our only regret is that his talk can-,
not be open to the student body, since
the number of guests is necessarily
limited.
Mr. Patterson is one of the South's
outstanding journalists. He has seen
much of the world as a reporter. His
ideas and writings are controversial for
this part of the country, but even those
who disagree with him will not deny
his ability and insight.
We welcome him once again to the
Auburn campus.
Editor's Views . . .
We Have More Than Ideals
To Guide Foreign Policy
By Don Phillips
American intellectuals, those who deal in
theory, are cringing at the thought of Ameri­ca's
gradually changing foreign policy.
American pilots in American planes are openly bombing a
foreign country. American marines have literally occupied a
foreign country in order to keep a rival ideology out.
In theory the United States
has become an aggressor, and
in the long run we will hear
from it.
Latin Americans, still suspi­cious
of this country from
Teddy Roosevelt's "gunboat
diplomacy" days, will not soon
forget that the "colossus of the
north" occupied a Latin Amer­ican
country. Communist pro­pagandists
will make hay with
America's open "imperialism,"
while communist operations are
kept below the table.
But one fact becomes clearer
day by day. Unfortunate though
it may be, we had no choice.
We were pushed into it.
• This country could not simply
sit by and let all Southeast Asia
be overrun by an army sup­plied
by the enemies of a free
people, nor could it let the
agents of a mad dictator named
Castro seize power in the Do­minican
Republic. The United
States, as the richest and most
powerful country in the world
has a responsibility which it
cannot shirk, even if living up
to o u r responsibility goes
against our moral grain.
The theorists fail to take into
consideration the fact that it
takes two parties acting in good
faith to play a fair game, and
the Communist countries have
consistently shown bad faith.
While this country tried to ne­gotiate,
coexist and live up to
her end of many bargains, Rus­sia
and the other communist
countries held no regard for
anything except the opportun­ity
of the moment.
It was Russia which sent
missiles to Cuba, North Viet
Nam which sent troops to the
south, Castro who tried to step
into the Dominican Republic
and China which stirs trouble
everywhere.
Something would be wrong
with a foreign policy which
would allow us to stand idly
by while helpless people are
pushed around.
Our intervention is, of course,
not based solely on idealism,
nor are we simply protecting
the people of the world from
dictatorship. As the richest and
most powerful nation on earth,
indeed in the history of the
earth, we have a national in­terest
too. We want to stay rich
and powerful.
We must now be careful in
protecting our own interests
that we do not try to extend
that interest in the name of
idealism. American troops and
bombs should be used only to
protect and defend other coun­tries
from forceful takeover.
History must be able to judge
us right. We must never for­get
just why we are flexing our
muscles.
Understanding . . .
America Must Provide
Guidance For Africa
By Harry Hooper
"There is a lovely road that runs from
Ixopo into the hills. These hills are grass-covered
and rolling, and they are lovely beyond any singing of it.
The road climbs seven miles into them, to Garisbrooke; and from
there, if there is no mist, you look down on one of the fairest
valleys of Africa."
It is with prose that has
rhythm which would make the
poet jealous that Alan Paton
tells of the black man's saga in
South Africa in Cry, the Be­loved
Country. It is the saga
of Absalom who leaves the val­ley
in the hills to search for a
new life and new freedom in
Johannesburg.
In a suburb called Shanty
Town Absalom met the black
men who work for the end of
the hated "apartheid." And as
he worked with the "move­ment"
he forgot the religion
taught him by the umfundisi,
the simplicity of the veld, and
the sweetness of the wind he
had once known.
Absalom put all values of his
childhood behind him as he
worked and without a real
knowledge of that for which he
worked he killed for it. He
hanged for it beneath an east­ern
sun that boomed over his
land and he hanged not know­ing
for what it was that he
searched. He only knew that
he worked for something better
somewhere.
A friend for a short time,
Olantunji Oyefuga, from Lagos,
Nigeria once tried to give me
insight into what the black man
in Africa is searching for and
what he hopes to find. He spoke
at length about freedom, gov­ernmental
concepts, and pros­perity.
I realized at once the broad
gulf that separated the educated
chieftain's son and the educated
American. The social, economic,
and political concepts he held
were strange to me and dif­ferent.
I feared some of his
ideas and thought of Paton's
Absalom.
But when he told me of the
brave, new dreams of his
Nigeria, of the great plans, and
of the things already accomp­lished
I became proud of my'
new friend and perhaps a little
jealous because I cannot have
his great opportunities. And my
fear of his ideas became less
because this fear like all fear
is a product of lack of Under­standing.
Tunji made me aware of the
new awakening of ideas in
Africa that will come as Paton
said: 'It is the dawn that has
come as it has for a thousand
centuries, never failing. But
when that dawn will come, of*
our emancipation, from the fear
of bondage and the bondage of
fear, why, that is a secret."
A secret it is. But the astute
observer knows that Africa's
rise is at hand. Americans must
bridge the gulf and find under­standing
so we may hold our
friends hands and provide
'needed guidance.
Surely understanding may
bridge the gulf and find under-fear
and suspicious that sepa­rated
us. But before Afro-
American understanding can
come about an American-
American understanding must
be reached. Our first opportuni­ties
lie at home.

Under new rules, women stu­dents

if all the DH food has become
so good that girls could not re­sist
a second helping, or that
some of the food in the DH has
become so bad that co-eds were
driven to taking seconds on
other items to avoid starvation.
If the Auburn Board of
Trustees spends too much more
time selecting a new President
there is talk of establishing an

The charge that "student
government doesn't do enough"
falls upon deaf ears in regard
to the recent Apartment Rule
proposal, vote, letter, and veto.
What more could elected stu­dent
leaders have done? More
important, what is the adminis­tration
going to allow being
done?
IFC officials are certain that
the new cooperative buying
plan can work. They only hope
that the fraternities can work
with it too.

Only Cooperative Efforts
Buy Fraternity Acceptance
By Charley Majors
"For it so falls out that what we have we
prize not to the worfh whiles we enjoy it;
but being lacked and lost, why then we rack the value, then we
find the virtue that possession would not show us whiles it
was ours . . :"
The significance of these lines written by Shakespeare in the
Sixteenth Century are felt even
today on the campuses of col­leges
and universities through­out
the United States.
Since the founding of the
first fraternity, Phi Beta Kap­pa,
at William and Mary Col­lege
there have been broad dif­ferences
of opinion as to the
justification of the fraternal
system in the academic world.
Bans and restrictions have been
commonplace; fraternities and
sororities have worked hard to
earn their chance of mere ex­istence.
College educations are rapid­ly
changing and college life is
changing at an even more rapid
rate. Greek organizations must
ride this wind of change; fra­ternity
men can no longer be
the ever-loving party men they
once were.
Colleges and universities are
again looking toward fraterni­ties
for answers to the ques­tion:
Why fraternities? The ad­ministrations
at many p l a c es
are bearing down on these or­ganizations,
restricting the pow­er
of the Infraternity Councils
to almost nil, and retaining su­preme
authority over interfra-ternal
matters.
Auburn should take m u ch
pride in her fraternity system.
It has proved itself to the ad­ministration,
the faculty, and
the students. Relations between
the Interfraternity and Panhel-lenic
councils and university of­ficials
a r e a culmination of
years of cooperation and work.
While visiting the campus of
another southern university last
week, I was fortunate to talk
with a university official who
worked with the fraternities
there. My amazement grew as
I h e a r d of t h e tremendous
handicap under w h i c h these
Greek organizations must exist.
Further research pointed o ut
the banality of such a situation
at colleges over the country.
The Infraternity Council en­joyed
very little authority over
the control of the fraternities;
the university retained m o st
power and stymied efforts of
the IFC to govern itself. The
result is the decadence of these
groups and their objectives of
better preparing college men
for life.
It is refreshing to return to
Auburn and to ride down old
and new fraternity rows. It is
refreshing to see Randy Partin
and Dean Drew Ragan work
together on mutual problems.
It is refreshing, even, to see
the IFC rush patrol at work
rather than administrative of­ficials.

LBJ Has Ruined
Forty Long Years
Of US-Latin Amity
By George Gardner
In one sudden thrust of his
"big stick," President Johnson
has completely destroyed 40
years of inter-American rela­tions.
Under the pretense of "pro-t
e c t ing A-merican
life
and proper­ty,"
he has
saturated the
tiny Domin­ican
Repub­lic
with 15,-
000 combat-ready
U. S.
soldiers.
Now he
m u s t pay
the p r i c e:
what's left of the Organization
of American States (and what
little was accomplished by the
Alliance For Progress) will
crumble and fall beside ttte
path of history.
How can we possiDly expect
other nations to obey the rules
of the OAS, UN, etc., while the
United States defies such agree­ments?
Searching for Communists
behind every cane field with
the gusto of Sen. McCarthy,
Johnson intervened to prevent
"foreign intervention."
And by using a double set oi
standards to do so, we have
likely lost the respect and trust
of every Latin ally—including
Frei of Chile and Betancourt
of Venezuela.
It's not the first time U.S.
M a r i n e s found themselves
hunting snipers in the streets
of Santo Domingo. They were
there in 1916-1924, when we
kept half the nations of the
world from collecting debts
owed them by the island repub­lic.
What's the answer? I don't
know. It's a "damned if we do
and damned if we don't" situa­tion.
Meanwhile, in San Juan,
exiled Dominican President
Juan Bosch waits and watches. .
He is the only freely elected
president ,the sugar-rich nation
The cooperative efforts of ad­ministration,
fraternities, and
independents provide an inter­dependence
of great benefit to
the Student Body. The results ^as ever known,
of this can be seen at work
every day in student govern­ment,
fraternity e v e n t s , and
student occasions which build
for a greater Auburn.
"And because Auburn men
and women believe in t h e se
things, I believe in Auburn and
love it."

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
fplSm
Elected by an overwhelming
vote in 1963, his term would
not have expired until 1967.
After 38 years of dictatorship
under Gen. Rafael L. Trujillo,
the Dominicans revolted in
1961 following the bloody as­sassination
of Trujillo.
Bosch lasted o n l y seven
months. He was disposed in a
bloodless coup in September
1963. The conservative military
officers who gained control
charged Bosch was "too soft"
on Communism, and said he
had risked war with neighbor­ing
Haiti.
But Bosch blamed the too-liberal
constitution, newly writ­ten,
for the toleration of Com­munism.
"Under it, everyone was free
to kill democracy. It was too
liberal, and I told the people I
couldn't rule the country with
it," Bosch said after fleeing to
San Juan.
But Bosch is no Communist.
They demonstrated against him
at his inauguration, with Vice
President Lyndon Johnson and
Betancourt sitting in the re- :
viewing stand.
Bosch does, however, know
the needs of the Dominican
people, most of whom are pea- ..
sants. Born a peasant, he had ;
to drop his education at an .'
early date and enter business.
Tired of Trujillo's totalita- •
rian reign (supported by the )
U.S. to the tune of $50 million
per year in aid), he went into j
exile.
Quiet and unassuming, he ]
soon became a piercing writer, i
His philosophy included much- j
needed land reform and a I
i
strong anti-Communist stand. !
Bosch knows that economic ;
reform is needed in Dominicia. ;
He promised the peasants each 5
a plot of land and the oppor- «
tunity to earn income from it. ; •
Like President Frei of Chile, ;
Bosch knows that Communism J
cannot be effectively fought J
from the Right; at least, not in '<
Latin America. "Hunger is very J
dangerous for democracy," he I
once said.
i
So when LBJ gets through j
with his "big stick," will Bosch '.
regain his freely-elected office? 5
No one is sure. •
But one thing is certain: it's •
tough to be a liberal these days, ',
with President Johnson contra- «
dieting everything he is sup- \
posed to stand for. ••
Letters To The Editor
Parents Questioned
About Meal Tickets
Editor, the Plainsman:
We appreciate the adminis­tration's
concern and willing­ness
to be responsible for eat­ing
habits, morals, dress and
lady-like conduct of the women
students at Auburn.
We are sure that the ad­ministration
would like to know
the parents' views concerning
compulsory meal tickets also.
The following letter which is
worded in such a way as not to
influence the parents would be
effective if sent home without
the student's knowledge:
Dear Parent:
I need your help and ad­vice
on a very important
matter to you and your
daughter. There is current­ly
a political campaign under
way among our students to
change existing regulations
governing compulsory meal
tickets. The existing rule re­quires
the student to pur­chase
a meal ticket whether
she eats in the dining hall or
not. The students who eat in
the dining hall would like
to change this rule.
We feel that we have a
tremendous responsibility to
the parents of women stu­dents
insofar as their diet is
concerned.
Will you use the attached
self-addressed card to indi­cate
your wishes insofar as
your daughter is concerned.
Simply check whether you
favor the retention of the ex­isting
rule concerning com­pulsory
meal tickets, or
or whether you would favor
a change. Sign your name
and drop the card in the
mail.
Your serious consideration
and cooperation will be deep­ly
appreciated.
We hope the letters reach
home before the results are
tabulated.

Socialism Fails Test
In Class Experiment
Editor, the Plainsman:
I found a very simple, yet
poignant illustration of the im­practicability
of the theory of'1
taking from those who have
and giving to those who have
not—and decided to pass it on
to the Plainsman.
When the teacher in an eco­nomics
class found that his
pupils were in favor of the
Socialistic trend our country
seems to following today, he
announced that beginning im­mediately,
he would put the
system in operation in the class.
He would subtract from the
grades of the top students, and
add it to the grades of the
poorest students, so all would
get an average grade.
The first month, the system
worked pretty well. The grades
of the best students were high
enough to offset the deficiency
of the lower ones, and the class
average was above the passing
mark. Then, the situation
changed.
The top students saw no rea­son
to put forth extra effort
required to get good grades,
with which they would not be
credited.
The medium students put
forth less effort for they were
assured passing grades.
The dullards did not work at
all, since they would pass with
the aid of the grades from
others.
So, while at first the system
provided passing grades for all,
within a very short time, the
entire class was failing. They
then realized that this socialis­tic-
communistic theory was
unpractical.

'Demonstration' Right
Questioned By Student
Last year upon returning to
Auburn to register for Winter
quarter of '64, the students were
confronted with a pledge that
we were, more or less, required
to sign concerning our conduct
upon the admission of Auburn's
first Negro student, Harold
Franklin. The majority of Au­burn
students had no inten­tions
of causing a scene, but the
fact remains that our right for
peaceful demonstration had
been removed upon possible
penalty of being expelled from
school.
Although I am neither a
staunch segregationist nor an
integrationist, the right to
demonstrate on the Auburn
campus is today being allowed.
The planned demonstration of
Governor Wallace by Tom Mil-lican
and associates is a prim­ary
example.
Why do these people have
the right that we were deprived
of?
Name witheld by request
acterized by non-violence. It
seems the Klan and the Red
Necks have exclusive rights in
the violent area. Mr. Brown
was so confident as to suggest
the manner in which history
will treat Rev. King, yet naively
said the Negro has voting rights
in Lowndes County. If this be
the case, why is voting rights
legislation pending in Washing­ton?
It would be better if Mr.
Brown would let history be the
final judge, rather than project­ing
conjectural opinions.

Praises Hooper Article
Editor, The Plainsman:
To Harry Hooper:
I recently received a copy of
the Auburn Alumnews for
March and was interested" in
your article, "Railways-The
Answer," which suggests plac­ing
greater reliance on rail­roads
as a solution to the rapid­ly
multiplying transit problems
of major metropolitan areas.
I just want to say that in my
view your thinking is eminent­ly
sound. The sooner our pub­lic
officials awaken to the
larger role that railroads are
destined to fill in metropolitan
area transit, the sooner we can
expect some meaningful im­provement
in this vital area.
I congratulate you on the
article and hope that you will
continue to write and speak out
forcefully in behalf of sound
transportation policies, whether
as to passengers or freight.

Hooper, Brown Columns
Editor, The Plainsman:
I was dismayed and alarmed
to read the columns of Mr.

Mr. Hooper talked of hate

answer to our racial problem

Something New Every Day
Editor Called Immature
By Student's Mother
Editor, The Plainsman:
Don't you think you are
showing your immaturity in
the very way you are reacting
to the veto on changing the ex­isting
rule for girls visiting
men's apartments?
It is so important to your
college careers that all the
"gateposts be let down?" Do
you really believe that it is
unnecessary to have rules for
adults? Then I suppose you see
no reason for a law against
robbery, murder, speeding, the
way in which alcoholic bever­ages
are used, etc. Granted that
many students are mature
enough and have character
enough to resist temptation
even if allowed to date in apart­ments*
(only one couple, alone).
Even more adults resist the
temptation to break the laws
pertaining to the few crimes
mentioned above, but I doubt
if I could find one of those who
would say there is no such need
for such laws.
Have you stopped to consider
that the rules of the University
are to protect its student body?
What does the administration
get from having rules? It means
many hours of meetings and
paperwork to decide what is
best for all students. It would
be much easier for older peo­ple
to have no concern for
younger people and sit back
and rest, but fortunately some
do care and work tirelessly trat
youth may be benefitted from
the experience and spiritual
growth of their elders. You
would show some maturity if
you respected these efforts even
though you cannot see the good
in them now. ,
It will be a tragic day when
youth ceases to respect their
elders. Before many years pass
you will be an elder!

Who Is Tom Mi Mean???
College Friendships Strengthen
Millican's Civil Rights Beliefs
"At a workshop of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic
Party, I committed myself to the cause of civil rights while
participating in the singing of 'We Shall Overcome'." Thus
Tom Millican, controversial and widely-discussed Auburn
student, described his "rebirth" as a student leader in the
"fight for civil rights."
Millican has been in the spotlight since last fall, yet
one question still arises: Who is Tom Millican?
Although Millican was born in Chattanooga, he con­siders
himself a native Alabamian. His family moved to
Valley Head, in northern Alabama, when he was about
one year old.
Millican's father, a steel worker, and his mother still
live on a farm there with his two younger brothers, one
19 and one. 17, and his 15-year-old sister. There is some
conflict, he said, because
of his "beliefs." While his fill
mother and sister defend 1
him, he said, his father I
and his brothers are 1
"against" him.
Millican survived what |
he cailed a "typically dull" I
high school career at Val- I
ley Head High School. He I
was vice president of the i
Student Council, however. 1
His interest in the civil i
rights movement began
when he was 16. At this 1
ttae, he said the move- i
ment was in the state of I
"much talk and little
action." i
Between high school I
a n d college Millican 1
worked for the Alabama 1
State Highway Depart- |
ment. His attitude toward 1
civil rights earned him ! <VV > \ :
the nickname "Tommy Coon" from his fellow workers. He
attributed part of his current attitude to that experience.
Millican admitted that, before college, he had doubted
the "validity" of his beliefs. Contact with others feeling
as he did about civil rights helped to alleviate this un­certainty.
Millican was one of the co-founders of the Auburn
Young Democrats which was thrown off campus for what
he called "intra-club rivalry."
During the winer, Millican helped to organize the Au­burn
Freedom League. The group held a memorial march
in Auburn after the death of Reverend James Reeb in
Selma.
Millican planned a demonstration for Governor Wal­lace's
visit on Governor's Day "not to protest his right to
speak but to protest his racial policy." He presently
awaits action by the Men's Disciplinary Committee on a
charge of "conduct unbecoming an Auburn student" be­cause
of the demonstration.

Tennis: Championship-Style Comes To Auburn
A potpourri of talents and temperaments graces the Auburn
tennis courts beginning tomorrow as the Plains host the South­eastern
Conference Tennis Championships for the first time in
history.
Some of the better netters in the South and the nation will
be on campus to determine just exactly who is best in the
Conference. Players representing three continents are here
and waiting to challenge co-favorites Mississippi State and de­fending
champion Tulane for individual and team honors.
And a co-ed, Alabama's history-making 5-5 senior net star
Roberta Alison, closes her controversial intercollegiate career.
Tennis is a game demanding perfection, and 100 racket-in-hand
collegians will be testing one another's degree of excellence.
The "thonk-thonk" sound of tennis will roll across the
campus through Saturday and we encourage you to take

Diamond Captures Eastern Division Crown
With Clutch Hitting, Solid Pitching, Tight Defense
NIX'S SECRET:
'HARD WORK'
Admirers of baseball coach
Paul Nix insist that there must
be some secret powers which
have enabled the baseball mas­ter
to win the SEC eastern divi­sion
crown every year since
coming to Auburn from Troy
State.
The aggressive mentor how­ever,
dispels any thoughts of
Ouiga Boards or voodoo dolls
by saying that "hard work is
all there is to it. All the boys
on the team paid the price."
Nix adds that "the Florida
series was one of the most com­petitive
two-game' series I've
ever seen. The b o y s just
wouldn't quit. There were a lot
of times in the games wherewe
could have lost. The team just
acted like a crew that didn't
want to lose."
And what is the respected
coach's ambition? • • '
"The biggest- thing in my
mind is to beat Tech. I • just
don't like to lose. • . ;
"Second is a long way down
the line from first."
GILBERT BARRELS OVER GATOR CATCHER
'•' ' Tiger' ceriterffelder Reggie Gilbert barrels over the Florida catcher to score an all-im­portant
tying run in the-bottom of the eighth inning of the first game with the Gators. Au­burn
went on to win the contest 6-1 and the crucial two-game series. Gilbert scored
oh a similar play at the plate in Saturday's contest, won by the Tigers 5-4 with a two-run
rally in the bottom of the ninth.
The Nix Formula .
Hustle and hard work are baseball coach Paul Nix's magic
formula to producing a diamond squad which always wins the
big ones. The expert coach and his proteges out-did them­selves,
last weekend in winning an unprecedented third straight
eastern division title.
When you, can lose eight starters from the previous year
including two players signed by the pros, and see your top
pitcher rendered ineffective by arm trouble, and still manage
to win the baseball crown in a league as tough as the SEC,
then you're great. Coach Nix, who came to Auburn in the
spring of 1962 can certainly tell the world that he's outstanding
for his achievements. But he will not, for winning comes
naturally for the former Troy State mentor, and there is always
tomorrow, next week, and next year.
The two-game series with Florida will be talked about by
those who witnessed the games for years to come. There is
only one problem. There were not enough witnesses. You
cannot ask for anything more than a champ, and every seat
in Plainsman Park is as good as being on the 50-yard line,
so where were you?
We thought the most interesting play of the series occurred
in the eighth inning of the first game when Reggie Gilbert
crawled back and tagged the plate on the squeeze bunt which
scored Auburn's first run of the day, the tying marker. Only the
umpire, Gilbert, and a small portion of the crowd realized that,
though the Gators bungled the play, Gilbert could have still been
called out, had one of the Floridians tagged him or the plate,
Gilbert realized he had missed the fourth base and it was a
split-second cat-and-mouse affair before he crept back and
slapped the plate with his hand. Several Gators were nearer the
plate and the ump was awkwardly waiting to make the "out"
call had the Gators noticed what had happened. Fortunately
Gilbert saved the official from having to render a decision
which although correct, could have caused a small riot.
Athletes Leaning Toward Advanced ROTC ...
With the recent enlistment of Harrison McCraw, junior
Auburn fullback counted on for big things next fall, into the
ranks of the advanced Army ROTC program, a number of ROTC
officials have expressed the opinion that local athletes may
be trending once again toward the ROTC programs. For some
time, athletes have failed to join the advanced programs prim­arily
because most felt they did not have enough time to devote
toward the various duties.
In addition to McCraw, Forrest Blue, and a number of other
Plainsman Dorm residents have expressed definite interest in the
programs. Coach Jordan was commissioned through the ad­vanced
program while coach Bobby Hunt says that failing to
follow the ROTC program was one of the biggest mistakes
he made.
It is said that leaders on the ball field make leaders on the
drill field.

Flowers To Head Talented Cast
In Saturday's Prep Track Meet
By GERALD RUTBERG
Richmond Flowers, termed by Auburn track coach
Mel Rosen as "the best prep sprinter-hurdler-jumper in
the country," heads an all-star cast appearing here this
weekend for the Alabama 4-A and 3-A track and field
championships.
The Lanier High of Mont­gomery
speedster holds four
meet records which he set in
last year's championships, and
he has bettered each of these
record-setting efforts this year.
Flowers has run a :9.7 hundred
(:9.5 with the wind), recorded
an :18.4 time in the low hurd­les,
and a :13.5 effort in the
120-yard high hurdles. His time
in the high hurdles is the new
national high school record,
while his effort in the low
hurdles is the best time record­ed
by any prepster in the na­tion
this year.
"I wouldn't put anything past
him; he's that good," says Ros­en.
"I predict he will break
three records and possibly four
in the meet," Rosen says of
Flowers' capabilities.
Another standout in the meet
is expected to be Auburn-bound
Robert Maxwell, who has run a
:21.5 220 and eclipsed the exist­ing
state record of :49.2 in the
440 with a :48.1 clocking.
Harry Burton of Mobile Mc-
Gill and Mike Synard of Mo­bile
Murphy have recorded
similar times in the mile run
and a close duel is forecast in

Grid Practice Sessions
Approach Final Stages
By RON MUSSIG
With just seven more days of spring practice left, the
Tigers are "coming along well," according to head coach
Ralph "Shug" Jordan. . . ..
The SEC allows its teams 30 days in which to sche­dule
20 practice days. The Plainsmen had used 13 of
them after Monday afternoon. |
With the return of platoon
football, the Tigers will have to
have two offensive and two de­fensive
units prepared for battle
next fall. A total of at least 44
boys, plus specialists, should see
plenty of action in 10 games
starting September 18 when
Baylor invades Auburn.
SPLIT SQUAD
Monday, t h e Auburn foot­ballers
split into the blue and
white teams for the May 15 A-Day
game. The number one of­fensive
unit and t h e number
two defensive squad will be in
white, while their counterparts,
the number one defense and
the number two offense will
wear blue.
Several gridders are sitting
out the spring session with var­ious
injuries. Jimmy Ashcroft
and Bobby Payne have both
had knee operations.
Outstanding linebacker Bill
Cody suffered a hairline frac­ture
of his right leg in Thurs­day's
scrimmage. Cody is out
for the rest of spring practice,
but is expected to be ready by
fall. His injury is termed less
serious than a sprained ankle.
INJURED
Another linebacker, J o hn
Cochran suffered a broken nose
last week. Defensive sideback
George D a v i s o n is having
shoulder trouble and has been
dressed in pads only twice "all
spring. Defensive tackle Ken
Jones is having knee trouble.

McKenzie's Bat Sinks Gators;
Nix Makes It Three Straight
By RON MUSSIG
It's three division titles in a
row for baseball Coach Paul
Nix and the Tiger nine in
Nix's three years as head coach.
Two victories over Florida Fri­day
and Saturday gave the
Tigers a 10-3 record in the SEC,
and made them uncatchable.
SHARPE VICTORIOUS
Montie Sharpe stopped the
Gators 6-1 Friday, and Jerry
Lewter relieved starter Jimmy
Crysel Saturday when the
Plainsmen pulled it out of the
fire in the bottom of the ninth
for a 5-4 squeaker win.
According to Nix, the next
stop on the SEC title trail is
the home of the western divi­sion
champions either Tulane
and New Orleans or Mississippi
State and Starkyille. The first
game of a best-of-three series
will be played t h e r e on
Wednesday May 12. The next
game, and a third if needed,
will be played in Plainsman
Park Friday and Saturday.
MORNING GAME
If the Saturday game is
needed, it will probably be
played in the morning because
of the A-Day game to be played
the 15th at 2:00 p.m. in Cliff
Hare Stadium.
In Friday's game ,the Floridi­ans
scored first. They tallied
their one run in the third in­ning
via a walk, a sacrifice, and
a single. Sharpe then quieted
the Florida bats until the ninth,
save for one single in the
fourth.
The game rocked along at 1-0
until the bottom of the eighth
when the Tigers went to work.
Reggie Gilbert led off with a
single to center field. Dink
Haire lashed another single to
center, bringing Florida coach
Dave Fuller to the mound, re­liefer
Adrian Zabala in from
the bullpen, and sending starter
Ray Rollyson to the showers.
(See page 10, column 5)
Tech Nine Next
For Baseballers
With the SEC eastern Divi­sion
title in hand, the Tiger
diamond nine travels to Atlanta
for two games with Georgia
Tech, their final games "before
the SEC title battle.
JACKETS IMPROVED
When the Yellow Jackets
visited the Plains a month ago,
the Tigers dropped them twice
by scores of 12-2 and 4-0.
Frank Fryer and Jimmy Crysel
both had. homers in the 12-2
rout and Fryer, "along with
Scotty Long supplied most of
the punch for the second win.
Since the first meeting, the
Jackets had been bearing down.
They have won their last eight
in a row, including two wins
over Florida and a victory
Saturday over the Southern
Conference leaders, Furman.
Going into the game, the En­gineers
are 16-8, while the Tig­ers
carry an 11-5 slate into the
contest.

MAROON BOB BRIEN PICKED TO WIN
Brien Picked To Win
No. 1 Singles Crown
1
s
By LARRY LEE
Iced Tea and Hominy Grits . . ~.
Iced tea, hominy grits and black-eyed peas w en
all n ew to Robert Brien when he came to the U.S.
from Australia, but tennis wasn't.
And it was his ability with a tennis racket, not s 1
knife and fork, that brought Bob to Mississippi State 1
University.
In his 14 months at Starkville, the 20 year-old Aussie ||
has won the SEC freshman singles title, gained the No. 11
position on the State team and is currently ranked as the 1
South's third best player. He is the SEC tennis coaches' •
unanimous pick to win the No. 1 singles crown.
Success Not Accidental . . I
This success wasn't accidental by any means. Bob began !
swatting a ball in his hometown of Sidney when he was only j
10. For the first three or four years, Bob's father, a former j
Australian tournament player, provided the coaching and j
inspiration. Then Denny Pails, the 1948 "Australian Champ- j
ion, started coaching Bob. . ,
In the next four years he became the, No, 2 Aussie Junior ;
and just missed being selected for the Junior Davis Cup team, j
After missing the Davis team Bob decided to either go i
to Europe to play in tournaments Vr come to the United j
| | States and combine tennis and schooling.
| | About this time Mississippi State's tennis coach, Tom I
|§ Sawyer entered the picture. Sawyer wrote an Australian j
I tennis journalist seeking information on promising boys!
H who wanted to come "up" and play.
II
I Brien Follows Primrose . . !
i The journalist contacted Brien. And Bob headed for
Mississippi State University, Starkville, Mississippi, USA,
i|This was mainly because a fellow countryman, Graham
|§ Primrose, was already at State and "could show me around \
§| some," said Bob.
§| Bob not only followed Primrose to the Starkville
1 campus, but preceded to bump him from the No. 1 spot
| | on the State team. And Graham was the SEC's singles
| | champ last year.
| | Bob also had scholarship offers from Northwestern
| | and Michigan. Here's how the young player from "down
f| under" compared U.S. and Autsralian tennis. "You have
j§ both world class players and 'good' players back home and
| | here in the States. But in the States there are just more
| | players. This means a greater range of competition."
H As to the business at hand—the SEC tournament—the
|1 Australian commented: "I think it will be a run right down
1 to the wire between us and Tulane, though I haven't seen
| | Georgia and understand they have some fine boys."
| | He picked Tulane's Lee Kantrow as the best he has faced
H in the Conference While Lenny Schloss of Tennessee rates
p as "quite a player."
§§ The Australian and U.S. courts also vary, said Boh.
use both grass and hard surface courts but
tournaments are grass. "In fact," said
the sophomore accounting major, 'to win the national hard
court tournament is considered only about half the feat of
winning a state grass tournament."

SEC Tennis Tourney Recipe:
Mix Ingredients; Stand Back
By LARRY LEE
Recipe for a SEC tennis
tournament: Take about 100
young men—and two girls—
add 432 tennis balls, stir with
approximately 125 rackets, tie
with 4000 feet of nylon and cat
gut stringing, throw in some
spectators and stand back.
SLIGHTLY UNORTHODOX
Though this is a slightly un­orthodox
approach to Auburn's
first hosting of an SEC tennis
tornament, it pretty well sums
up the situation facing Au-brn
tennis coach Luther Young
and Milton Thurston, athletic
equipment and plant manager.
Coach Young has been giving
the orders and we've been fol­lowing
as best we can," said
Thurston.
EQUIPMENT
These orders have included
bleachers for the comfort of
spectators — these are set up
next to the courts closest to the
Field House, a scoreboard,
numbered placards to show on
which courts which matches
are being played, a booth for
coaches and officials to operate
from and stakes to adjust the
court nets.
"We think the courts are in
good condition for the meet
since they were recently cover­ed
with laykold, a special
tennis playing surface," Thurs­ton
added. "Maybe they'll leave
a little fuzz on the 36 dozen
balls we have ready," chuckled
the caretaker of Auburn's ath­letic
equipment.
It's a cinch there will be a
lot of fuzz missing after the
120 matches—90 varsity and 30
frosh—are over.
By LARRY LEE
A " b a t t l e royal" between
perennial power Tulane and
fast-rising Mississippi State
appears in the offing as the
Southeastern Conference's
annual tennis tournament
gets u n d e r way here tomor­row.
The meet, being held for the
first time ever on the Plains,
will give Auburnites a look at
some of the South's top netters.
These include Mississippi State's
Bob Brien, a Sydney, Australia,
import and the South's No. 3
player, Graham P r i m r o s e ,
Brien's teammate a n d last
year's Conference champ, Tu­lane's
Lee Kantrow, Henry
Field of Georgia and Tennessee
soph Lenny Schloss.
STATE FAVORED
Mississippi State enters the
tournament rated a "slight fav­orite"
by m o s t Conference
coaches. The nod toward State
is due chiefly to their recent
5-4 win over the New Orleans
school. This was only Tulane's
second SEC loss in 15 years.
State has never' won an SEC
tennis crown.
Tulane partisans have the
fact that University of Miami—
a southern tennis power—beat
the boys from Starkville while
the Greenies won to support
their claim of Tulane suprema­cy.
Whichever you pick, Missis­sippi
State or Tulane, you're
almost sure to finish no worse
than second.
Here's a breakdown of the
schools—
MISSISSIPPI STATE,
COACH: TOM SAWYER
Won four and lost none in
SEC. Beat Tulane recently 5-4,
for Tulane's second SEC defeat
in 15 seasons. Overall record
14-2. Lost to Rice and Miami.
Top four players all out-of-country.
Bob Brien and Gra­ham
Primrose, Sydney, Austra­lia;
Tito Echiburu, Santiago,
Chile and Orlando Bracamonte,
Caracas, Venezuela.
Brien is SEC frosh champ,
moved Primrose, who was SEC
varsity champ in 1964, to No. 2
spot. Brien is 13-2 for season,
Primrose is 13-1.
TULANE, COACH:
EMMETT PARE
SEC record 3-1. Beat Alaba­ma
and Vandy, lost to State.
Overall record won 7, lost 2,-
tied 1.
No. 1 and No. 2 players are
Lee Kantrow and Frank Lamo-the.
Kantrow 5-6 for season.
Called "best SEC player I've
met" by Mississippi State's pre-tournament
favorite Bob Brien.
Lamothe season record 7-3.
Gave State's Graham Primrose
fight before losing 7-9, 6-8.
TENNESSEE, COACH:
TOMMY BARTLETT
Won five and lost one in con­ference
play. Lost to Georgia
3-6. Overall record 13-3.
Led by Sophomore Lenny
Schloss and Senior Captain
Kenny Marcus. Schloss is 13-2
and Marcus is undefeated in 15
matches.
Schloss was SEC No. 2 frosh
last year, losing to Bob Brien in
finals.
Marcus is a steady player
who gives no ground. Very
quick and must overpower to
win against him.
FLORIDA, COACH:
BILL POTTER
Won two and lost three in
SEC. Won over Kentucky and
Auburn. Overall record 9-9.
Dave Bonner, Steve Gardner
Tech Coach Picks State, Tulane;
Others Called Tlies In Ointment'
"It will definitely be between
Mississippi State and Tulane as
far as the SEC title goes, but
which one is about anybody's
guess," said Jack Rodgers,
Georgia Tech tennis coach and
formerly t h e nation's tenth
ranked tennis player.
FLIES IN OINTMENT
"But I'll tell you this," he
continued, "some other schools
will be flies in the ointment
and Georgia will be one of the
flies."
Rodgers went on to say that
he thinks it will be a question
of the luck of the tiraw and two
or three points that decides the
winning school.
DOGS HAVE DEPTH
He explained his reasoning
about Georgia this way. "As far
as the top three positions go, it
is pretty well set between State
an<L Tulane, but Georgia is real
strong in the last three spots.
The title may just depend on
who some of the Georgia boys
knock off in these lower divi­sions.
If they beat some State
boys, it'll probably swing the
tournament to Tulane."
Coach Rodgers is in a real
vantage point to make these
evaluations since Tech is no
longer in the Conference and
his boys have played both State
and Tulane. They lost to State
last Saturday 2-7 and to Tulane
earlier 4-5.
BRIEN DEFEATED'
In the Mississippi match,
Tech's Walter Johnson defeated
Bob Brien—everybody's pre-tournament
favorite—1-6, 7-5,
6-3.
As to individual winners for
the SEC fracas, the Atlanta
coach picked Brien for No. 1
singles, Graham Primrose of
Mississippi State for No. 2 and
Richard Carter of Tulane for
the No. 3 division.
PICKS TULANE
"I guess if I were forced to
pick a winner, it would have to
be the New Orleans school,
mainly on their strength in the
last three divisions," said Rod­gers.
"But on the other hand," he
added, "State beat Tulane 5-4
which is certainly a point in
their favor. However, tourna­ment
play, with all the un­knowns,
is a lot different than
just straight dual matches."

SEC Coaches Survey
Favors Brien, Maroons
If coaches know—and they
should—then Mississippi State's
Bob Brien will be the SEC's
tennis singles champion when
the sun sets Saturday.
And the sophomore sensation
from Australia will guide his
State team to its first Confer­ence
crown ever in the process.
At least that's the consensus of
opinion of conference tennis
coaches.
BRIEN TOPS
In a poll taken by the Plains­man,
Brien was the unanimous
choice for No. 1 singles champ.
Second and third place picks
were pretty well divided be­tween
Henry Field of Georgia,
Lenny Schloss of Tennessee and
Tulane's Lee Kantrow.
As for team champion, State
was the majority choice with
Tulane, Georgia and Tennessee
following.
Here's how the coaches pick­ed
them:
THE CHOICES
Emmett Pare of Tulane, the
winningest coach in the SEC,
choose Brien as singles favorite
and made no choices for sec­ond
and third. For the team
title he placed Mississippi State,
Tulane and Georgia in that
order.
Coach Tom Sawyer, leader of
the Maroons, selected Brien,
Schloss and Kantrow in the
singles division and Mississippi
State, Tulane and Georgia for
the SEC team crown.
Dan Magill of Georgia picked
Brien, Field and Schloss in the
singles and State, Tulane and
Georgia in the team running.
Tennessee's coach, Tommy
Bartlett, rates Brien and Field
number one and two. For the
third spot Bartlett said, "It's a
tossup between Tulane's Lee
Kantrow and our own Lenny
Schloss. Both boys are real
good."
For team champ Bartlett
picked Tulane, State and Geor­gia
or Tennessee.
Bill Potter, University of
Florida mentor, chose Brien
and Kantrow as co-favorites
while he rated Mississippi
State and Tulane co-favorites
in the team running. Georgia
was his third pick.
Coach Luther Young, leader
of Aubrn netmen for 19 seasons,
gave Brien, Kantrow and Sch­loss
the nod for the top three
spots. In the team selection, he
picked Mississippi State, Tulane
and Georgia.

Frosh Nine OK': Walker
By CHARLES McGEHEE
Auburn's 1965 freshman
baseball team, 5-6 for the sea­son,
has been pleasing to the
eyes of those wrio are looking
for future varsity prospects ac­cording
to freshman coach Fred
Walker.
A prize victory came in the
team's 5-4 win over Gulf Coast
Junior College. Ace pitcher
Paul Bovert of Pensacola, Fla.,
turned in a fine performance
against several of his former
high school teammates. Bovert
hurled this 5-4 victory while
striking out 11. He was backed
by strong hitting from third
baseman Billy Beaird.
"There are several players on
this year's freshmen team who
should be fine varsity prospects
for next year," said Coach
Walker Included in those
mentioned are several strong
hitters: Billy Beaird, Rodger
9—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, May 5, 1965
Boozer, presently hitting at a
.484 clip, Rick Countryman, and
Joe Justice. Bovert is expected
to aid in handling the pitching
chores and several others have
shown promise as future pro­spects.
Five players are presently on
scholarships. They are pitchers
Paul Bovert, Bob Coleman,
Danny Hood, and Bob Spray-berry.
Shortstop and leading
batsman Boozer is also on
scholarship.

Cinder Win Over Tech
By BOB SNELLGROVE
Saturday was a beautiful day
in Cliff Hare Stadium. The day
was matched only by the per­formance
displayed by coach
Mel Rosen's track team in de­feating
arch-rival Georgia Tech.
Led by Wade Curington's 13-
poiht output, plus outstanding
victories by Glen McWaters,
"Gator" Williams, Dixie Foster,
and Jim Smith, the Tiger thin-clads
easily outdistanced the
Atlantans 89-56.
CURINGTON ROLLS
Termed "outstanding for Au­burn,"
by Rosen, Curington
aptly exhibited his track ability
Saturday. Wade won the 440
yard dash in :49.2, the broad
jump with a 24' 2" leap, and
placed second in the 220 yard
dash.
Auburn's Tom Mitchell fol­lowed
Curington closely in the
broad jump with a leap of 23'
10". This duo is presently one
and two in the Conference in
the broad jump.
Glen McWaters led an Au­burn
contingency in the mile
run as again the Plainsmen col­lected
the first two places in an
event. McWaters travelled the
distance in 4:19.5, to lead team­mate
John Anderson by 13 sec­onds.
WILLIAMS DARKHORSE
Dubbed as a "possible dark-horse
in the conference," "Ga­tor"
Williams lived up to Coach
Rosen's words by turning the
two mile circuit in a Tech-Au­burn
dual meet record-time of
9:49.6.
According to Rosen, Williams
had a lot left at the finish, in­dicating
that he may well lower
Saturday's timing.
1963's Cake Race winner,
Dixie Foster, striding in ahead
of companion Cobb, finished
with his best.time of the year.
Foster was clocked in 1:54.6 for
the 880 yard course. Cobb came
in at 1:55.5.
Another double win for Au­burn
came in the 120 yard high
hurdles with Jim Smith (:15
flat) and B u d d y Edwards
(:15.1) finishing winner and
runner-up respectively.
Auburn's highest point col­lections
occurred in the pole
vault, and triple jump events,
where the Tigers swept all
three positions.

bested George Rutland (11'
0"), and Bill McCormick (10'
0"), to take the vaulting crown.
TIE-BREAKER
A tie for longest jump at 46'
2%", occurred in the triple
jump, necessitating the judges
to have to use the second long­est
jump of the two to find the
winner. Tom Mitchell edged
Bill Meadows by having a long­er
second jump. Bill McCor­mick
finished third.
Marion Patrick of Auburn
defeated Tech's Tommy Elliot
in the 100 yard dash. Elliot has
run a 9.7 century in the past.
For the day, Auburn collect­ed
a total of 89 points with 10
firsts, to 56 points and seven
firsts for Georgia Tech.
Coach Rosen's squad will
next face intercollegiate com­petition
in the Southeastern
Conference meet scheduled for
the weekend of May 14-16.
However, exhibition running
will be done at the weekend's
State High School Track Meet,
to be held here.
Frosh Trackmen Close With Win
By MUFFIN WILLIAMS
Don Cipperley set the win­ning
pace for Auburn's fresh­man
tracksters with his sensa­tional
44' 9%" triple jump, and
led the Tigers to a 12-5 vic­tory
over the Georgia Tech
yearlings.
Speedster Dan Loftin turned
in a busy afternoon, first low­ering
the freshman intermedi­ate
hurdles record to 39.9, then
taking the hundred in a fast
10.1, and finally anchoring a
winning 440 relay team.
Jon Bieker pushed to a rec­ord-
tying mark of 15.2 in the
high hurdles and Eddie Ogar,
replacing injured speedster
Zeke Willis pulled in first in
the 220 with a 23.1 time.
Outstanding distance runner
Vic Kelley ran three and one-half
for the day taking firsts
in the mile (4:36) and the 880
(1:59).
Coach Rosen was pleased
with the performance of the
mile relay team of Eddie Ogar,
Mickey Collier, Joe Bush, and
Pete Ginter. Ginter, a Florida
state champion runner last year,
has been injured and had not
finished a race this season.
The season over, the fresh­men
will run time trials during
the state high school meet
Saturday. The top three con­tenders
in each event will
journey to Baton Rouge to
compete in the SEC meet.
Summing up the season,
Coach Rosen claimed the 1965
squad as "the finest freshman
track team I've seen here in a
long time."

Local flavoring has been add­ed
to this year's triple-A meet­ing
as Auburn High School has
qualified more than 10 students
for the Friday and Saturday af­fair
and the Baby Tigers are
expected to make a strong bid
for team honors in their divi­sion.
Vaughn Polidoro, an Auburn
High sophomore shot putter,
has managed one of the best
distances recorded by an indi­vidual

this year.
"With the results of the sec­tional

this should be the finest state

Rosen.

KA and AP played for the
League One championship yes-
Lcrday, but results of the con­test
were not available for this
issue.
In the semi-final action in
League One last week, RA
dumped DU 12-8, and AP
bombed SC 1G-5. AP hurler
Terry Parker collected the win
and also helped himself at the
plate, blasting a two-run homer
and walking four times.
Holding a slim 6-5 lead, AP
put the game out of reach in
the fifth inning when they scor­ed
10 runs.
PKT edged PDT 6-5, and TC
ripped BTP 31-3, in the League
Two semi-finals. PKT led PDT
6-1 entering into the final inn­ing
in which PDT exploded for
four tallies.
A disputed call by one of the
umpires in the last frame was
protested by PDT. The score
was 6-1 at the time of the pro­test.
TC pushed across six runs in
the initial inning and tallied 13
markers in the sixth in the
romp over BTP. Frank Sanders
collected f o u r base raps off
BTP hurling.
LCA upset favorite OTS, 6-5,
in the League Three semi­finals,

OTS, batting in the top half
of the sixth and final inning,
trailed LCA 2-0. OTS came
through with five seemingly
crucial runs to lead LCA 5-2
with half an inning to go.
LCA then rallied to knot the
score at five all.
With three men on base,
Wayne Connor drew a base on
balls forcing in Tim Summers,
to snatch a hard earned victory.
The OTS pitcher fired a two-hitter
in vain, serving both hits
to Butch Waldrop.
TKE, displaying a vastly im­proved
ball club, clubbed SAE
behind the hitting of third
baseman Ronnie Raines. Raines
connected f o r three hits and
five RBI's. Teke pitcher Dave
Rees threw a masterful two-hitter
allowing only a pair of
bingles.
SN squeaked by title favorite
AGR 4-3, and SP slammed DC
13-6, to advance both teams to
the final round in League Four.
At Scott hit a game winning
solo homer in the top of t h e
sixth inning which gave SN a
4-1 lead over AGR. Staging a
desperate comeback in the last
of the sixth, AGR rallied for
two markers but fell short by
one run. William Bullock was
the winning pitcher.
