"
According to the Registrar's

37 master's degrees, and
Frank M. Malone
one honorary doctorate will be
awarded at the exercises.
A Doctor of Laws (honoris

Mississippi and North Carolina.
He became district manager at
Atlanta in 1943 and was pro­moted
to Alabama manager in
1945.
Following this, Malone served

Infirmary, County Officials Quiet
Rumors Of Meningitis Epidemic
Possible cause for alarm over
a threat of spinal meningitis
here was apparently removed
as the danger periocf connected
with two reported cases passed,
according to Dr. C. F. Floyd,
Lee County health officer, and
Dr. M. W. Brown, head of
Drake Infirmary.
Activities which were curtail­ed
last Friday, including physi­cal
education classes and intra­mural
sports at Auburn Uni­versity,
were resumed Wednes­day.
Two persons whose illness
was diagnosed as spinal menin­gitis
last week were reported in
good condition and improving
steadily at Lee County Hospital
Wednesday.
An earlier case in Opelika
which was fatal does not ap­pear
on county records because
diagnosis and treatment took
place in Macon County.
The period in which new
cases of the disease resulting
from contact with either of the
two patients might come to light
has passed, according to Dr.
Floyd.
A 46-year-old Negro maid
from Opelika employed in an
Auburn boarding house was ad­mitted
to the hospital Wednes­day
of last week. She is still in
isolation but "improving as ex­pected,"
according to hospital
officials.
An eight-year-old Negro girl
from Opelika was admitted
Thursday and her isolation sta­tus
was removed early t h is
week.
Earlier in February a first-grade
Negro girl from Opelika
was stricken and taken to John
A. Andrew Hospital at Tuske-gee
Institute, where she died,
it was reported.
By-products of the local cases
were an unusual amount of
publicity elsewhere in the state,
a flock of new rumors each day,
and a land-office business for
druggists in the sale of rela­tively
inexpensive sulfadiazine,
prescriptions f o r which were
issued to hundreds of students
anxious to ward off the threat
of disease.
L o c a l druggists estimated
that 40,000 pills w e r e sold,
mostly at a reduced price.

Senate Investigates
Campus Traffic Woes
By BRUCE NICHOLS
"We a r e rapidly ap­proaching
the time when
we will have to make this
campus a campus for stu­dents
rather than for auto­mobiles,"
D i r e c t o r of
Buildings and Grounds Lin-wood
Funchess told the
Student Senate Tuesday
night.
Funchess was present at the
meeting at the request of the
Student Senate to discuss cam­pus
traffic problems ^and their
possible solutions. ,
"We appreciate senate and
student body support and we
want to work with the student
body to get proper solutions to
our traffic problems. The faci­lities
for traffic control are here
for students just like every­thing
else," he said.
OPPOSES PARKING
BUILDINGS
In reference to suggestions
that on - campus multi - level
parking facilities be constructed
to add parking space, Funchess
said, "It's not possible; it doesn't
make sense." "As I see it," he
said, "we're going to have to
go all the way" in eliminating
automobiles from t h e central
campus which he defined as
limited by W. Samfortf Ave.,
S. College St., W. Magnolia
Ave., and Donahue Dr.

Flash: Union Expansion Proposed
The Allocations Board by unanimous vote has recom­mended
to President Harry M. Philpott that a portion of
the Student Activities Fee Contingency Fund be set aside
in a special fund earmarked for financing expansion of the
Auburn Union to include a fourth floor.
Money for future Union expansion will accrue to the
special fund from the Contingency Fund after all emergen­cy
expenditures have been deducted. A permanent bal­ance
of $15,000 must also be maintained in the Contingency
Fund and any deficit in this balance would have to be
covered before money would be released to the special
Union fund.
The Contingency Fund is to be maintained beginning
with Fall Quarter, 1966, by a 25 cent per student per
quarter allocation from the Student Activities Fee. It
is estimated that $8,000 per year would be added to the
special Union fund provided that no emergency expendi­tures
were made.
Student Activities Advisor Don Williams said Thurs­day
that "There was wholehearted support from the mem­bers
of the Allocations Board for ths step as expansion of
the Union facilities is definitely needed."
Allocations Board members include Dr. Floyd Vallery,
Dean James Foy, Dean Katharine Cater, Mr. W. T. Ingram,
George McMillan, Phil Hardee, Mary Kussell, Jim Yeaman
and Mr. Williams.
plans to eliminate through-traffic
from the central campus
except for faculty. All student
parking would be on the peri­meter
of the campus, he said.
"Because of our increasing traf­fic
problems we've got to have
some drastic restrictions."
In reference to the parking
regulation changes recently ap­proved
by President Philpott,
Funchess said that there would
be "a little resentment on the
part of the juniors when they
see that all of the 'C zone
spaces which they had to give
up are not being used." He add­ed,
however, that the traffic
control committee had to "think
of getting cars off campus as
well as trying to ease the park­ing
situation. The contractor
building the new liberal arts
cbmplex will also need working
room," he said.
FACULTY DESERVES
PRIVILEGES
Funchess opposed a sugges­tion
that the Traffic Committee,
which is presently composed of
eight faculty members and four
students, be adjusted to 50-50
faculty-student ratio. "I think
faculty should have the upper
hand. Our problem here is hir­ing
enough faculty to take care
of the students," he said.
"We've got to give these people
a place to park."
Elaborating further on stu­dent
auto privilege restrictions,
Funchess said that because
campus police are not getting
100 per cent student coopera­tion
with the regulation pro­hibiting
freshmen automobiles
in the city, police will "have
to tighten up" enforcement.
The Traffic Committee is
considering in next year's plans,

Manpower, Equipment Shortages
Rapped By Auburn Fire Officials
By RON CASTILLE
Legislative action may be taken to relieve the fire
protection problem in Auburn.
Following the death of one student in a flaming
f r a t e r n i t y house, Auburn Mayor G. H. Wright, Repre­s
e n t a t i v e P e t e Turnham, and Auburn President Harry
Philpott met to discuss the sit- i
uation.
The legislature will be as­sembled
by Governor George
Wallace in a special session in
the near future, informed sour­ces
told The Plainsman. At this
time speculators said, a grant
may be made to make protec­tion
"adequate."
NO ABILITY TO COPE
"The Auburn Fire Depart­ment
does not have the neces­sary
equipment nor the neces­sary
manpower to cope with
fire situations on the campus,"
wrote Auburn Fire Chief Ellis
Mitchell in a letter to the Uni­versity
and the Auburn City
Council Feb. 14, 1966.
Following the death of an
Auburn student'in the fire that
levelled the dormitory section
of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
house on Feb. 19, the Plainsman
investigated the fire fighting
situation on the-campus and in
the surrounding community.
INHERITANCE . . .
Building and Grounds Direc­tor
L. E. Funchess requested
Chief Mitchell to check into the
fire defense of the campus. Af­ter
inspecting the campus, Mit­chell
described the situation in
the Feb. 14 letter as "extremely
critical in light of the life and
property involved." He said the
condition was "an inheritance
of years of building without
suitable building codes and
little regard to fire protection
for the property." Mitchell ex­plained
that state property is
not subject to the same fire
regulations as municipalities.
Mitchell, whose father is the
Opelika Fire Chief, holds two
degrees from the Ontario Fire
College and he is Auburn's first
professional fire chief. He
pointed out, for the Plainsman,
some of the problems that com­pound
the situation. -
TRAFFIC AGAIN
The first problem encount­ered
was the amount of traf­fic
on the roads and in the
parking lots. Mitchell said that
"the many cars would hamper
the fire truck's, efforts to reach
a fire, and they would hamper
fire fighting operations at the
scene of a fire."
WATER FLOW INADEQUATE
Mitchell continued, "the pre­sent
water flow is inadequate,
and the fire hydrants are at the
wrong places." Many hydrants
are not in the proper working
order, he added. The Univer­sity
is responsible for mainten­ance
of campus hydrants.
Mitchell also said only one
hydrant s e r v e s Dorms A
through F, and that only one
hydrant is accessible to Draugh-on
Library. Both have a "fire
flow" of 860 gallons per min­ute,
which Mitchell termed

"totally inadequate to the situa­tion."
,
VERY LITTLE.DONE
"Very little has been done in
the interest of fire protection
other than in the building's
construction," explained Mit­chell.
Most of the buildings on
the campus are considered fire­proof,
but Mitchell said "the
paint, floors, ceilings, wall-boards
and contents of the
buildings will burn if a fire
started."
ON OUTSIDE EXITS
The Sewell Hall and Forest
Hills apartments all have out­side
exits, but the girl's dorms
and the men's dorms have none.
In case of fire in the stairways,
people would have to be evac­uated
by the Opelika Fire De­partment's
65 foot ladder truck.
Mitchell said this truck is "un­safe
for effective rescue opera­tions.
It is too lightly construct­ed,
but it is all we have."
The women's dorms have two
fire drills per quarter, one an­nounced
and one unannounced,
but the men's have none. Each
division of the men's dormi­tories
has two fire extinguish­ers
and a system of fire doors.
SURVEYING FOR HAZARDS
In a telephone survey of Au­burn's
fraternities, 16 fraterni­ties
felt that they had "ade­quate"
extinguishers, two hav­ing
just purchased them. Nine
houses had extinguishers, but
they did not feel they had
enough, or else some of them
were not functioning properly.
Three houses reported having
no fire extinguishers.
4 FIRES, 10 YEARS
Fire department records indi­cate
there have been four frat­ernity
house fires in 10 years at
Auburn. The two most recent
fires completely destroyed the
I dorm sections of the SAE house
and the Phi Delta Theta House
[with an estimated damage of
$135,000. No fraternities have
fire drills.
In the report following the
SAE fire, Mitchell called the
fire fighting operations an "en­tirely
defensive effort because
of the unavailability of water
and inadequate fire hydrant
distribution" in the area where
the fire occurred:
In a letter of Feb.- 7 to Au­burn
City Manager H. R.
Thornton, Jr., Mitchell listed 10
areas in the city where the
amount of water available was
"inadequate" for an effective
fire defense. One of the critical
areas listed was "West Magno­lia
Avenue, west of Donahue
Drive," an area that includes
the SAE house, 11 Other frat­ernity
houses, Forest Hills
apartments, and several private
homes. j "-" ~
"CRITICAL NEED"
The same letter also listed
22 locations that "critically
needed" fire hydrants. One area
was "West Magnolia and the
SAE driveway."
These recommendations were
based on the criteria set up by
the Southeastern Underwriters
Association, t h e organization
that determines insurance rat­ings
for southern municipali­ties.
Mitchell's recommendations
to alleviate the fire situation on
the campus included an in­crease
of water flow up to 5,-
000 gallons per minute at any
location on the campus, five
accessible fire hydrants per
building, a modern piece of
aerial fire fighting equipment,
a pumper truck of 1,000 gallons
per minute output, a campus-located,
two-company fire sta­tion,
an increase of the force to
20 men, and modern training
facilities provided at the fire
station. ,The estimated cost of
the above is $1 to $2 million.
FUNCHESS PROMISES
Col. "Funchess said that the
University has been aware of
the situation for some time and
that a study of the recommen­dations
was being made and
necessary action would be
taken.
Thornton said the city coun­cil
is presently considering in­stallation
of 22: hydrants in Au­burn
and the Water Works
Board of Auburn has recently
granted $500,000 to the water
treatment plant for increasing
the water flow to the city.

discontinuing the quarterly sys­tem
of administering fines.
A new cumulative system for
the entire year would eliminate
the students' ability to take
their quota and begin again
with a "clean slate" the next
quarter.
WANTS SLOW TRAFFIC
Concerning plans for speed­ing
traffic flow across campus^
Funchess said "I'm not inter­ested
in speeding t r a f f ic
through campus." He said traf­fic
lights "just cannot" be "syn­chronized,
and pointed to the
installation of speed breakers
at Troy „S^ate College, as an
example of possible future ac­tion
en the Auburn campus.
TRANSIT SYSTEM
DISCUSSED
" He added there are no im­mediate
. plans for a campus
transportation system. He said,
"I believe that from the stu­dent's
point of view," that park­ing
inva large lot at the edge
of the central campus and
walking to class would be
"much better." He suggested
the area across from the stad­ium
as such a possible perman­ent
parking lot, serving both
students and weekend football
crowds.
DISCUSSES FUTURE
CHANGES
Funchess said although there
is seme coordination between
the University and the city in
traffic planning now, more is
needed. He pointed to plans for
more one-way streets, a propos- |
ed circular route around the
city, an Auburn cut-off of
Highway 280, and the widening
of streets as examples of plans
for future development.
"We need a planning organi­zation
for Auburn," he said.
"We are now searching for a
campus planner." Meanwhile,
he said, studies and suggestions
by the Student Senate would be
welcome.

'Mary Sunshine'
Closes Tomorrow
By JOE GAINES
Rick Besoyan's long-running production "Little Mary Sun­shine,"
a complete sell-out since opening week, will finish
tomorrow night, completing its twelfth performance by the
Auburn Players. According to Robert Knowles, director of the
play, a number of people fail to pick up reserved tickets at the
door each night before curtain time, and these are handed
out on a first-come, first serve basis to any students waiting
at the door. Curtain time is at 8 p.m. tonight and tomorrow
night at the drama theater.
Knowles said that the seat­ing
problem for the Players'
"very enthusiastic" audience
is "no new problem." "We've
turned away people by the
hundreds," he said, concerning
the current performance.
) Described by drama profes­sor
Raymond Carver as a "poe­tic
blending of voices," and by
Knowles as "a vocal collage,"
the Players' next production,
•'Under Milkwood," will run
Tuesday through Saturday for
two weeks, beginning May 3.
Tickets may be reserved start­ing
April 26 through the drama
department.
Tryouts, Carver said, will be
held March 28-30.

25 Best-Dressed Semi-Finalists Selected
THE COIN SHORTAGE is so
severe in one New England city
that students at a nearby col­lege
received letters from the
local bank urging them to bring

Fisheries Expert 'Optimistic'
After Travels In Viet Nam
An optimistic outlook on
the struggle for freedom' in
South V i e t Nam was
brought back to Auburn by
Dr. H. S. Swingle, professor
of Zoology and Entomology,
on completion of a special
assignment to that war-torn
nation.
"Everyone I talked with felt
that things are getting better
with U. S. and South Viet­namese
troops pushing back the
Viet Cong," the fisheries re­searcher
said. But this optim­ism
is tempered by the fact
that military victories a-lone
will not ensure final suc­cess
unless South Vietnamese
villagers aid in holding liber­ated
areas, he noted.'
The joining of -agriculture
and military is the reason for
Dr. Swingle's February trip to
Viet Nam. A recognized au­thority
on fish culture because
of his pioneering research at
Auburn Agricultural Experi­ment
Station, he was one of the
agricultural leaders invited by
President Lyndon B. Johnson
to accompany Agriculture Sec­retary
Orville Freeman on the
mission to determine training
needed by South Vietnamese
agriculturists for the program.
The present approach is be­ing
implemented by a joint
U.S. and South Viet Nam mili­tary-
agricultural attack. Recog­nition
that agriculture is an
important part of the war ef­fort,
necessary to raise stand­ards
of living of the nation's
villagers, can do much to help
the overall effort, Dr. Swingle
said.
This program is aimed at
overcoming the basic problem
of Viet Cong returning to areas
after being driven out. by mili-

The Auburn Metamorphosis
With a scare of spinal meningitis,
capping a last weekend's tragic fire
and wreck, the campus went into a
state of near panic.
•As finals approach, such a fear
could make what has been a dismal
quarter for many of us even bleaker.
There are many intangible lessons
picked up in four years of life in Au­burn.
Not the least of these for us has
been the realization that there are
forces which are beyond us—that some­thing
could happen in a matter of
hours which could convert the security
of uncomplicated youth into cold ma­turity.
It is this fact of growing up
and learning to live with dynamic, of­ten
destructive, forces, that makes us
feel that the Auburn metamorphosis
is the main step toward "adulthood."
What can we do in light of our
smallness? We can only remain calm
and keep in mind whatever values and
aspirations that guide us.
It is relieving that spinal meningi­tis
did not strike Auburn as it could
have. It is good to feel that things are
going to get better.
Two Pressing Problems
Two pressing problems at Auburn
today are traffic and the need for more
adequate fire protection measures.
Traffic in the past few years has
become distressing. It is difficult to
find any time when autos aren't buzz­ing
around campus with bloodied-eyed
drivers cracking down on pedestrians,
and on one another, in the clamor for
parking spaces.
The student-auto crossing clash at
the Commons is a daily example of the
problem. Something, who knows what,
needs to be done here.
Col. Funchess is making an honest
attempt to alleviate the stress. Since
sacrifices are going to be necessary to
ease the growing pain, there will be
some hurt feelings. Perhaps the traffic
engineer, who is coming to the campus
soon, will have the answer.
The need for more adequate fire
protection was dramatically brought to
our attention with last week's SAE fire.
This is the fourth fraternity house in
ten years to burn. The city has made
considerable progress in its fire protec­tion
program; however, the expansion
of the University requires more pro­tection,
sooner.
No doubt, the fraternities need to
self-protect by planning f i r e escape
routes and maintaining more, work­able,
fire extinguishers. The SAE fire
was tragic, but it could have been
worse.
Two problems to be solved at Au­burn.
They can be with the proper
"pushing" by officials, and a helping
hand from all of us.
An Enthusiastic Precedent
The recently completed Auburn
Conference on International Affairs
was perhaps the most timely, and the
most effective, venture in the nine
year history of the conference.
A few days after journalist John
Strohmeyer talked of the problems
with a free-press in Ghana because of
self-appointed god - dictator Kwame
Nkrumah, American newspapers bore
accounts of that dictator's overthrow
and the establishment of a new gov­ernment.
Such coverage on topics that are so
near to the core of present world con­flicts
bring us to realize the importance
of informed people—people who can
stop and realize that whatever is hap­pening
in Ghana affects Auburn, in a
way that is becoming less and less re­mote.
Gerald Rutberg, and his staff, must
be commended for bringing well pre­pared,
experienced speakers to discuss
the topic of "Subversion in the Sixties."
Despite a few obstacles, the com­mittee
executed the conference as ef­ficiently
and as smoothly as any such
meeting we have attended. It was a
highlight of our academic year.
This year's ACOIA has set an en­thusiastic
predecent for other confer­ences
to follow.
A Curtain Call
We aren't drama critics, but a good
word must be passed on to The Au­burn
Players for "Little Mary Sun­shine."
Their take-off on the old Jeanette
McDonald-Nelson Eddy era of syrupy/
sentiment where "the good was very
good and the bad, very bad" was pro­fessionally
done.
All the preparations, the line learn­ing,
set construction, costuming and di­recting
made for another delightful
production.
In a location where plays are often
removed from our atmosphere, The
Auburn Players' continuous array of
high quality productions are both re­freshing
and enlightening. Auburn is
fortunate to have a drama department
of such high calibre handled by dedi­cated
people who maintain their stand­ards
under trying circumstances.
They certainly deserve an editorial
curtain call.
Lee Launched
The Plainsman, regretfully, is los­ing
through graduation our sports edi­tor,
Larry Lee, one of the most colorful
and talented writers the paper has had.
Larry has proven himself to be,hard­working
and efficient. He has also
been a good friend and laughing pal
through the wee hours we have spent
putting out this sheet.
His sacrifice has been greater than
any of ours. His wife has been the ori­ginal
Plainsman "widow," and his son,
Kevin, the original "orphan."
Larry has accepted a writing posi­tion
in Birmingham with the Progres­sive
Farmer.
We will say good-bye to Larry, with
warmest personal wishes for his suc­cess
and for his family's continued
well-being.
For Democratic Primary . 7.
Laughing At Lurleen?
May Better Think Twice
By Jerry Brown
When Mrs. George Wallace was hinted
as a possible candidate for governor, there
were laughs and guffaws echoing over the state. Observers said
that Mr. Wallace would only increase the damage caused when
he tried for succession. But Mrs. Lurleen Wallace's candadicy
in the May Democratic primary may surprise a few who have
laughed at the Fighting Judge, co spitting, and snapping su-
George Wallace has no doubt
alienated many groups. , But
through his bringing industry
to the state, through his pro­gressive
junior college and
trade school program, and
through his manuvering of a
political image which the great­est
current block agrees with,
he has placed himself in a su­perb
position.
With the announcing of Bob
Gilchrist and Richmond Flow­ers
as seekers of the chair, Carl
Elliott's more "left" supporters
have been divided to the point
of being ineffective. This has
thwarted the hopes of those de­siring
a "new look" to replace
the anti-federal government
attitude of the Wallace ad-
* ministration.
The man in the middle, John
Patterson, appears to have lost
his faithfuls of the pre-Kennedy
era. Patterson still has an align­ed
"machine" group; but in the
face of so many conflicting fac­tors,
his political stands coupled
with his record in Montgomery,
cannot have much effect on a
populace toeing concrete battle
lines, with no desire now for a
"middle man."
Mrs. Wallace herself will add
an air of excitement to the
campaign. Governor's races of
the past, filled with Big Jim
Folsoms, Shcrty Prices, string
bands on pick-up trucks, tobac-spenders,
have been colorful
affairs which serve as much
for delight as for a function of
government. Mrs. Wallace's
candidacy, therefore, will not
be as repulsive as some be­lieve.
The popularity of Governor
Wallace, through tossed about
by his political manuverings, is
far from waning. He has ang­ered
many by his handling of
lieutenants; but while he has
brought anger to these, he has
done an excellent job of keep­ing
pace with the man in the
street. Small in size, he has
placed himself in an enviably
large political stature with the
majority of Alabama voters.
How he manipulates the edu­cational
surplus, now grappled
for, will add to his popularity.
All this is a little second
guessing before the big bomb
drops with fair-haired Jim
Martin in November. The
Democratic primary has shaped
no great threat to the Wallaces;
however, the race in November,
other variables constant, may
prove the hottest in the history
of the state.
But in the immediate primary,
those who have laughed at
Lurleen may have to laugh out
the other side when the South
and Central parts of the State
bring in the Wallace bacon.
He who laughs last . . .

Misuse Of Modern Drugs
Seriously Affects Students
By Peggy Tomlinson
• i Most students at some time during their
college careers have endangered their lives
by taking narcotics of some description. Their misuse of drugs
has become one of the major problems in our society today.
They are the people the "pushers" want to reach, because they
will try anything once to escape the problems of today's world
and many of them usually go
Dissent Or Treason?
'Hanoi Harry/ Friends,
Not Legitimate Protestors
By Ron Castille
Freedom of speech and freedom to dissent
from the will of the majority are two of the
basic rights that have made our country what it is today. Indeed,
these two are the concepts upon which our country was founded, '
and they are responsible in one way or another for every right
that we now possess as citizens in a free country.
Where free speech ends and
sedition begins, or where free­dom
to dissent ceases and trea­son
begins, is no easy matter to
determine. However, several in­dividuals
and a few organized
groups of anti-Viet Nam types
have finally crossed the hazy
yellow line dividing dissent
from treason, and it is time that
action should be taken against
them.
Free speech is fine, but when
"Americans" like California's
"Hanoi Harry" make propa­ganda
tapes in the U.S. and
send them to Hanoi to be used
in radio broadcasts similar to
those of "Tokyo Rose" of World
War II, and specifically directed
against our troops in the field,
then the issue is no longer free
speech. It is giving aid to the
enemy.
When a G.I. receives a pack­age
from stateside containing a
can of dog food and the mes­sage,
"Eat this, animal," or
when his mother receives a
letter from an anonymous crank
informing her of "her son's un­fortunate
death," when he is
actually alive and well, then
these acts have surpassed pro­test
and have transgressed upon
treason. They are obstructing
the war effort.
Or if the situation gets so
bad that soldiers or pilots in
Viet Nam hesitate to give their
names to the press or have their
pictures taken for fear that the
family back home will receive
undue harassment in the form
of crank letters and phone calls,
then protest has been carried
too far and action is warranted.
The situation is difficult be­cause
we are not in a declared
war against a declared enemy.
As a result, most of the statutes
pertaining to treason are not
presently applicable. But there
is no doubt about the fact that
we are fighting an enemy, and
there is no doubt that we are
engaged in a war.
There is one enemy who now
needs to be fought against, and
that enemy is the group of trai­tors
within our borders per­petrating
these outrageous acts
of treason. These people are
obstructing the war effort and
giving aid and comfort to our
enemy.
These exercise of free speech
and dissent is definitely heal­thy
for our nation and its poli­tics.
It aids us in seeing both
on to stronger drugs.
Some people will do anything
for kicks, thrills, a jolt, or a
quick trip to "cloud nine." This
can be done by eating canned
heat, sniffing glue, and taking
drugs which have been called
by such picturesque names as
yellow jackets, red birds, pep
pills, and Dexies.
Many misunderstand the ef­fects
of pep pills or Dexies.
Some believe that they are less
harmful than a cup of coffee.
Others don't realize that some
of these are habit-forming.
When pep pills are mixed with
alcohol the effect may be fatal
to the user.
Today a large share of traffic
accidents are thought to be
caused by drug users. Taking a
drug may slow one's reflexes
and make driving very dan­gerous.
The drug acts as a de-presser
rather than a stimulus.
Also, the drug attacks the motor
functions in the brain affecting
the involuntary actions of the
body.
A few unethical pharmacists,
some pharmacy students, and
many "bootleg pushers" create
a big black market with their
seemingly endless supply of
drugs. How can the supply be
cut down? No one really has an
answer for that now, but the
government is becoming in­creasingly
concerned with the
problem.
Some of our local druggists
have complained of students
trying to buy drugs before fin­als.
Unfortunately, some students
who have taken pep pills in or­der
to study have had undesir­able
results. In one instance,
a boy who had a major quiz
took several "pills" to improve
his mental ability. He studied
all night and thought he knew
the material perfectly. When he
took the quiz he answered the
questions without any trouble.
But when he got the quiz back
he had made an F, and when he
looked over the quiz he under­stood
why. His paper was blank
—not a mark on it. He had gone
over the quiz in his mind and
never written a thing on the
paper.
Also, there have been a few
cases of students taking un­planned
naps in class when the
effects of the pills wore off.
Maybe we need a present day
"Carrie Nation" to alert our
generation to the evils of the
misuse of modern drugs.

A Time For Reflection
On A Harried Existence
By Bruce Nichols
As another quarter's armageddon ap­proaches,
the inevitable question is "What
have I accomplished in another three months of harried exist­ence?"
You have taken a dozen major quizzes, written several thous-sides
of any subject, thereby and words of class room notes, essays, and letters, and walked
allowing us to form our own
personal policy and stand with
an awareness of all the influ­encing
factors on the situation.
Protest is all well and good,
but these protesters have gone
too far. Let's hope some of
these new legislators or mem­bers
of Congress being elected
across the country can rise to
the occasion and can rectify
this situation.

A Threat To Lives"...
Auburn Campus
Needs Protection
From Fire Danger
By Gerald Rutberg
Conferring well into the
lengthening shadows of, late
afternoons recently, city fire
department and University of­ficials
have discussed, a major
problem which is threatening
the Auburn student population
—provision of adequate campus
and community fire protection.
The real danger—and tragedy
—which can result from inade-q
u a t e pro­tective
a nd
controlli n g
facilities hit
us devastat-tingly
hard
t w o weeks
ago. It is un-fortu
n a t e
t h a t too
often we fail
to act de­cisively
un­til
something
occurs that we cannot dismiss,
however the only value in
looking at what happened yes­terday
is to act for today and
tomorrow.
Results of an impromptu
Plainsman poll designed to
count the number of fire ex­tinguishers
in several local
housing facilities to include fra­ternity
houses, reveal a short­age
of workable extinguishers.
Contrary to the periodic pro­cedure
in the women's dormi­tories,
few male housing units
conduct fire drills. Maybe drills
are too childish. After all, how
often do we have a fire?
It goes almost without saying
that a number of domiciles in
the area are potential tinder-boxes
by reason of age or in­ferior
construction. Because of
the great demand for housing,
sub-standard residences are
guaranteed clientele regardless
of the safety of the dwelling.
On February 7 and Febru­ary
14, Auburn Fire Chief Ellis
Mitchell wrote letters to city
and University officials decry­ing
the lack of firefighting
manpower and equipment in
the event of a major fire. He
included in these letters speci­fic
recommendations for elimi­nating
the existing inadequacies
and pinpointed areas where ad­ditional
fireplugs should be
located. Five days following his
second letter, Chief Mitchell
became a prophet.
The chief indicated in his
communiques that certain areas
of the city are today virtually
inaccessible by fire truck be­cause
of the number of auto­mobiles
which crowd Auburn :
streets, driveways and lawns.
He also noted that some fire ?
hydrants are ineffectively plac­ed
and that water pressure is
currently insufficient to combat
any extensive blaze.
The City of Auburn has
taken a number of steps in r e - '
cent years to improve fire pre­vention
and fire fighting con­ditions,
but it is painfully ap­parent
that measures taken to '
date have not nearly matched
the growth of the university.,
A new fire truck isn't much
good unless you have men to
operate it.
What all this means is that
the city, the university and all
of us are going to have to move •
immediately and effectively to
eliminate the possibility of a
holocaust. There is no need for .
hysteria, but double-time cor­rective
treatment must be forth­coming.
For the future, a stricter
building code is one of a num­ber
of recommendations made
by the chief to insure better
fire prevention. A tougher
policy is also needed in order
to crack down on operators of
below-par housing facilities
with an eye toward discourag­ing
student patronage of unim­proved
residences.
Rumored action by the state
legislature concerning Auburn's
fire problems promises to ease
the financial burden of insti­tuting
a long overdue fire re­form
program. The money
though, can only supplement
cooperation by all parties con­cerned.
In realizing the work that
remains to be done we could
well afford to ask ourselves
whether or not we would be at
ease knowing that our own son
or daughter were living in the
same place and under the same
conditions as we are.
The fire chief must have
known our answer. He's had
to sleep with it. It's time some­thing
was done about it.

BLOOD DONORS HONORED
Bill Powell, vice-president of the Student Body, displays
the certificate of commendation which the Red Cross
awarded to the Student Body for last fall's blood drive
for our soldiers in Viet Nam.
Hew Blood Drive
Aims For Record
Three thousand pints of blood for the soldiers in Viet Nam—
this is the goal set for this year's Blood Drive, April 5-6. How­ever,
it is anticipated that the students of Auburn will give as
much as 4,000 pints.
"And we're going to reach it
to set a world's record," said
Bob Smith, chairman of the
drive. He emphasized that this
was being done as a patriotic
effort to show that the Student
Body of Auburn supports the
U. S. role in Viet Nam.
The drive will be held in the
Student Activities Building this
year to give additional room for
the large number of donors.
There will be sixty donor beds
set up to speed up the opera­tion.
Members of Circle K,
the ROTC units, Alpha Phi
Omega, the School of Pharma­cy,
and students in Lab Tech­nology
will assist in the drive.
Smith said all students who
gave in last fall's blood drive
will be eligible to give again.
He added that everyone under
21 would need a permission
slip signed by their parents.
The, blanks can.be obtained at
the ' Union '. desk,,, the, i(&yjient
Body office, and the^Studeirit.
Affairs office any time before
the end of the quarter.
fraternities and sororities,
dorms, and boarding houses
will be contacted concerning
giving as a group at a scheduled
time. However students, facul­ty,
and towns-people are en­couraged
to come at any time.
The drive will be held from 9
a.m.-6 p.m. on Tuesday and 3
a.m.-6 p.m. on Wednesday.
Auburn held a two day drive
in 1954 that set a record of
1,842 pints. In November, 1965,
the University of Illinois col­lected
2,125 pints in a four
day drive. Last quarter Auburn
set a one day record of 1,113
pints. This was quickly broken
by the University of Alabama
and Mississippi State.

Student Draft Test Set
Far May And June
Selective 'Service college qualification tests will be given
throughout the nation on May 14, May 21 and June 3, it was
announced Friday through the Associated Press wire service.
High school seniors graduat­ing
this year and college stu­dents
desiring to take the test
must mail applications post­marked
not later than April 23
to the Science Research Asso­ciates
of Chicago.
A Selective Service spokes­man
said about a million draft
registrants are expected to take
the test, which is entirely op­tional
for those who wish to
have this type of criteria avail­able
for consideration by their
local draft boards in determin­ing
student deferments.
"Selective Service strongly
urges that the students do take
it, as it provides one more bit
of criteria the local board may
consider in determining which
students are apparently more
promising than others," the
spokesman said.
Science Research Associates
was awarded the contract Fri­day
to handle the test program
as the successful bidder among
three.
The test will consist of 150
different items and a registrant
will be permitted a maximum
of three hours in which to com­plete
the test.
The test is designed to ex­plore
four areas: reading com­prehension;
verbal relations;
arithmetic reasoning; and data
interpretation.
The spokesman said it was
similar to a general aptitude
test, with about 50 per cent re­lating
to verbal and linguistic
skills and the other 50 per cent
lo quantitative reasoning.
He also said the test has been
so constructed as not to give
any special advantage to any
type of major over another
course the students are pursu­ing.
The formal announcement by
Selective Service will be made
available before April 1 to be
distributed and posted in col­leges
and universities,'post of­fices
and other public buildings
and local draft boards through­out
the country.
A registrant considering tak­ing
the test will be able to get
from local draft board an ex­planation
bulletin and a form to
mail to Science Research Asso­ciates.
The test will be given in
about 1,200 locations through­out
the continental United
States and Hawaii, Alaska,
Puerto Rico and the Canal
Zone.
LETTERS TO EDITOR
Praises Plainsman
Army ROTC Head
Editor The Plainsman:
I wish to express my sincere
appreciation of the U. S. Army
Instructor Group and the Army
ROTC Brigade for the excel­lent
feature story that appeared
in the 16 February issue of THE
PLAINSMAN concerning the
MARS station now in operation
on Campus.
The reporting by Bruce Gilli-land
was exceedingly well done
and has done much to stimulate
interest in this unique under­taking
by our ROTC cadets.
Shortly, after, your paper w.as
distributed inquiries were , re-r.
ceived from a number of stu­dents
who wished to communi­cate
with family members and
friends stationed in Vietnam
and other overseas areas. I feel
certain that the recipients of
such messages will appreciate
the fact that the Auburn spirit
can now be transmitted by
means of short wave around
the world.
We are indeed indebted to
you for the fine editorial which
augmented Bruce's story and
trust that the inauguaration of
MARS at Auburn through the
initiative and ingenuity of
cadets like Roy Norris won't be
the last you will have the op­portunity
to report upon. The
abbreviation of Military Affili­ate
Radio System (MARS) may
well mean "May Auburn Real­ly
Shine"—at any rate, the
Army ROTC Brigade is out to
prove that it can.
Again, many thanks for the

Debaters Get'Big' Imitation
Two Auburn debaters have been invited to participate in
the district elimination meet of the "World Series of Debate,"
the West Point National Invitational Debate Tournament.
Kathy Lou Bailey and Eddie
Freeman will represent Au­burn
in the District Six, West
Point Elimination Tournament
scheduled for March 17-19, at
Emory University. This meet
is, in effect, the Southeastern
Championship, according to
Jim Vickrey, director of de­bate.
Only ten schools have
been invited to participate in
this tournament and the top
four teams will go to the West
Point meet in April. The
tournament at West Point is
considered to be the national
debate championship.
This is the first time that
Auburn has been invited to
send debaters to the elimina­tion
which consists of the ten
top teams selected from over
50 applications from seven
states.
A exhibition debate will be
held in Langdon Hall next
Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The
national topic will be debated

WAKE ME WHEN ITS OVER
The trouble with early morning classes is that you're too
sleepy. At late morning classes you're too hungry. At early
afternoon classes you're too logy. At late afternoon classes
you're too hungry again. The fact is—and we might as well
face it—there is no good time of day to take a class.
What shall we do then? Abandon our colleges to the iyy?
I say no! I say America did not become the hope of man­kind
and the world's largest producer of butterfats and tal­low
by running away from a fight!
If you're always too hungry or too sleepy for class, then
let's hold classes when you're not too hungry or sleepy:
namely, while you're eating or sleeping.
Classes while eating are a simple matter. Just have a lec­turer
lecture while the eaters eat. But watch out for noisy
foods. I mean who can hear a lecturer lecture when every­body
is crunching celery or matzo or like that? Serve quiet
stuff—like anchovy paste on a doughnut, or steaming bowls
of lamb fat.
Now let us turn to the problem of learning while sleep­ing.
First* can it be done?
Yes, it can. Psychologists have proved that the brain is
definitely able to assimilate information during sleep. Take,
for instance, a recent experiment conducted by a leading
Eastern university (Stanford). A small tape recorder was
placed under the pillow of the subject, a freshman named
Wrobert Wright. When Wrobert was fast asleep, the re­corder
was turned on. Softly, all through the night, it re­peated
three statements in Wrobert's slumbering ear:
1. Herbert Spencer lived to the age of 109 and is called
"The Founder of English Eclectic Philosophy."
2. The banana plant is not a tree but a large perennial
herb.
' 3. The Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914 at
Sarajevo by a young nationalist named Mjilas Cvetnic,
who has been called "The Trigger of World War I."
When Wrobert awoke in the morning, the psychologists
said to him, "Herbert Spencer lived to the age of 109. What
is he called?"
Wrobert promptly answered, "Perennial Herb."
Next they asked him, "What has Mjilas Cvetnik been
called?"
Wrobert replied, "Perennial Serb."
Finally they said, "Is the banana plant a tree?"
"To be honest," said Wrobert, "I don't know too much
about bananas. But if you gents want any information
about razor blades, I'm your man."
"Well," said the psychologists, "can you tell us a blade
that shaves closely and cleanly without nicking, pricking,
scratching, scraping, scoring, gouging, grinding, flaying or
flensing?"
"Yes, I can," said Wrobert. "Personna® Stainless Steel
Blades. Not only does Personna give you a true luxury
shave, but it gives you heaps and gobs and bushels and
barrels of true luxury shaves—each one nearly as truly lux­urious
as the first."
"Land's sake!" said the psychologists.
, "Moreover," said Wrobert, "Personna is available not
only in the Double Edge style blade, but also in the Injec­tor
style blade."
"Great balls of fire!" said the psychologists.
"So why don't you rush to your dealer and get some
Personnas at once? said Wrobert.
"We will," said the psychologists, twinkling, "but there
is something we have to do first.
Whereupon they awarded Wrobert an honorary L.L.B.
(Lover of Luxury Blades) degree, and then, linking arms,
they sang and danced and bobbed for apples till the camp-fire
had turned to embers.

Larry Lee . . .
Associated Press Blows One . . .
Just to prove no one is perfect, the Associated
Press placed Kentucky sophomore center Thad Jarecz
on their third-team All-America squad while Lee De-
Fore was stuck among the honorable mentions.
Now before you holler that an injustice has been
done, take a look at the latest SEC statistics.
In the five categories listed; scoring, rebounding,
field goal shooting, free throw shooting and one-game
scoring, the name Jarecz appears once. (DeFore was
mentioned only six times.) A 14-point-per-game aver­age
has earned him the distinction of being the con­ference's
16th best shooter.
It takes a lot more trouble to find Lee's name in
,this column, you have to go all the way to the top of
the page where it says, "1. Lee DeFore, Aub. 23.8."
,- But it takes more than scoring ability to make a
complete ball player doesn't it Mr. Associated Press?
It takes rebounding and accuracy. And I'm sure the
stats bear out your selection in these categories too.
However, I can't check to make sure because the set
I have only go through the top ten—and Thad didn't
make it that high.
And before I forget, I would like to thank the 214
sportswriters and broadcasters who made the picks
for complimenting the upsurge of SEC basketball.
You placed Jarecz on the third-team All-America
while the folks down this way made him third-team
All-SEC. So I reckon that means the third-team All-
SEC is as good as third-team All-America.
And that would make our boy DeFore, since he was
picked on the conference's first five, good enough to
make the AP first team.
Which he definitely is, especially when you recall
that in Auburn's games with Vanderbilt he quite easily
outperformed Clyde Lee, one of your first teamers.
Hanging It Up . . .
Well. This Is It. The Last One. All. There Ain't
No More.
Or more clearly; this is my last column as sports
editor of the Auburn Plainsman. A small gathering
of 400 or so capped and gowned yoUng scholars, plus
one former sports editor, the afternoon of March 16
is the reason.
And as I sit here writing this at 8:30 p.m., Wednes­day,
March 2, 1966, memories wander across the keys
of my typewriter.
Memories of
—Jimmy Burson taking a pitch-out on the -first
Auburn play from scrimmage and bolting 50 yards
down the Legion Field turf toward a touchdown and
a 17-14 -win over Georgia Tech.
—Billy Tinker, a splintery bundle of elbows and
knees, driving toward the Sports Arena basket as ho
one but he could do.
—Johnny McGeever lunging in front of a Kentucky
field goal attempt and trapping the ball against his
thigh just prior to setting sail for the goal some 80
yards distant.
—Joe Overton's right arm carrying a hustling
bunch of baseballers to the SEC championship.
—Jimmy Dozier gliding around the Cliff Hare track
as lesser-made milers struggled along behind.
And what can I say other than it was good. It was
a pleasure. It was an experience. Thanks to those Who
have helped me. And to David Housel, who will write
here next quarter, good luck. -
But above all, let me say,
War Eagle!
DeFore Blasts Record;
Tigers Get Rebs, Dogs
By ROY RILEY
Great basketball play­ers
never die, they just
leave their marks on the
record books. Such it is
with Lee DeFore. DeFore
played his final basket­ball
game in the friendly
confines of the Sports
Arena Saturday n i g ht
and went out in a blaze
of glory.
DeFore p u m p e d in 24
points, grabbed 10 rebounds,
made two assists, and hit 55
per cent from the field. His
Lee DeFore
performance propelled the
sluggish Tigers past the Ole
Miss Rebels in an SEC game,
86-74.
DeFore, with one game re­maining
on the schedule,
leads the conference in scor­ing
with a 24-point average.
He has scored more points
than any other Auburn play­er
in history during a single
season. DeFore has scored 596
points this season and only
needs four points to become
Auburn's first 600-point man.
HERBIE HITS
Auburn's only other play­ing
senior, Herbie Greene,
continued his assault on the
basket. Herbie hit the last
point for Auburn. This was
the fourth straight game he
has managed such a feat.
Bobby Buisson h a d 16,
Quick had 13, and Joe Mill-sap
10 points for Aubufn.
Wednesday night the Tigers
taught the Georgia Bulldogs a
lesson in poise. The Tigers
offense came to life in the
second half and went on to
whip the Bulldogs, 74-63.
Once again, it was a sec­ond
half burst that won it for
the Tigers. Georgia froze the
ball the final two minutes of
the initial canto and took a
last second shot that was good
for a 36-32 lead.

GRAPPLERS FAIL IN EFFORT
FOR 20th SEIWA SEASON TITLE
By JIMMY POOLE
Auburn's 19-year reign as champion of the South­eastern
Intercollegiate Wrestling Tournament has end­ed.
The Tiger matmen came in fourth this year, be­hind
Georgia Tech, Milligan and Georgia.
Auburn defeated all of these teams in dual meets
during the regular season, The only Auburn wrestler
but a different story was told who won the individual
last weekend as things just
didn't seem to go right for
the grapplers from the Plains.
After losing the champion­ship
for the first time in 20
years, coach Arnold "Swede"
Umbach commented, "Our
team had real good balance,
as can be seen by the fact
that we beat all the top teams
in the tournament in dual
meets, but we just didn't
have enough outstanding in­dividual
performances in the
tournament to win it this
year."

class was Bob Atchison in the
191-pound class.
Bob Factora, 123 pounder,
was second in his class after
losing a real close match for
the title.
Rick Umbach, wrestling in
defense of the 137-pound title
he won last year, was upset
in the semi-finals.

Auburn's J o h n Thompson
came through with a good
performance to take second
place.
"Intelligent Abandon' May Be Key
To Tiger Offense In '66-Freeman
The question before the
house is: will Auburn
football forces sport a
"new look" offense in
1966?
"That will depend on our
personnel," says coach Bobby
Freeman, the newly-appoint­ed
director of Auburn's of­fensive
backfield forces. "But
I hardly think we'll come out
with anything radical.
"Possibly our attitude to­ward
our offensive attack
will be the biggest change,"
he adds.
And what is this?
"Intelligent abandon," says
Freeman, coining a phrase.
"This doesn't mean it will be
helter-skelter, but it does
mean there'll be times when
we will come up with the un­orthodox
— some' situations
dictate such."
As for the type of offense
Auburn will use, Freeman
says a pro-style formation
will probably predominate.
This means split ends and
flanker backs.
"We're definitely looking
for a strong passing game to
complement what we expect
to be a strong running game,"
says Freeman. "And we'll try
to exploit some of our op­ponents'
weaknesses with it,
such as using our tight end
for more than just short pass
patterns and using our flank­er
(wingback) more.
"However," e m p h a sizes
Freeman, "just who we have
at quarterback will determine
to a large extent what we'll
be doing. And we're certainly
looking for a quarterback."
WHICH SPORT COACH?
It's likely that spectacular Elizabeth Burnett would be
welcomed on any of Auburn's spring squads. The sopho­more

ever for coach Bill Lynn.
This means 17 wins and
the Tigers now have 16.
It also means they will
have to defeat the University
of Alabama, a feat they ac­complished
earlier this season
to the tune of 90-71.
The Tigers are currently tied
for sixth place in the SEC
with an 8-7 record. However,
with a win over the Tide Sat­urday
night, Auburn could
conceivably jump as high as
third place depending on this
week's outcome of games in­volving
Tennessee, f o u r th
volving the Volunteers, fourth
place Florida and fifth place
Mississippi State.
Auburn v i c t o r i e s over
Georgia and Ole M i s s last
week pushed their season
record to 16-9.
BEAT BAMA
Auburn defeated Alabama
earlier this season, 90-71, hit­ting
45 per cent from the
field and 81 per cent from the:
free throw lane, compared to
40 per cent and 46 per cent
for Alabama. The Tigers held
a commanding 44-28 half-time
advantage and finished
with four starters- in double
figures. Jimmy Montgomery
had 23, Lee DeFore 21, Ron­nie
Quick 13, a n d Bobby
Buisson 12.
Alabama sophomore Guy
Turner led the- Tide with 21
points. Another top - notch
SEC rookie, Mike Nordholtz,
didn't see action the first
game because of a broken
hand but will probably be in
the starting lineup this time.
Judo Club Plagued With Hardships
By ALAN HINDS
"I don't want boys on my girls' mats," said one
stubborn female PE instructor. "Not a chance," echoed
another negative reply. "Scram, it bothers the team,"
thwarted another attempt.
For four years, Jim Carter and his band of judo
enthusiasts have looked for a
place to practice, but have
met with as much success as
the ole proverbial snowball.
Their short success at
sneaking tumbling mats from
Alumni Gym to the Union
Building recreation r o om
would have been admired by
the CIA.
Until they were caught
with their m a t s down, the
never-say-die judo club had
some chance for a workout.
Carter recalled one quar­ter,
when the club had lined
up seven meets, "they cut us
off two weeks before we were
to go; we didn't make it!"
SEVEN GALS
At the beginning of this
quarter, they had over 100
people turn out for the club,
including seven girls, but
only two drab, gray three by
five mats to practice on. Each
person had a six-inch square
plot to work out on. "You
couldn't even throw a fit in
that skimpy a space," re­marked
an irate club mem­ber.
The club is affiliated with
Shufu Judo Yudanshakai, or,
the National Black Belt of
America. "We're legal," says
Carter,' "but we just can't
find a place to practice."
Once they worked out an
arrangement with a janitor
at Alumni Gym to pay him
extra to keep it open an hour
longer from 9 to 10 p.m. Us­ing
basic economics the cus­todian
"went on strike and
bled the team until no one
had a dime."
Every time they get some­thing
going—they h a v e to
pack up and leave. They have
traveled to the Auburn High
School, the community cen­ter,
just about anywhere
there is a soft place to get a
strangle hold on your op­ponent.
WHY?
Just what keeps this no­madic
group of friendly flip­pers
together in their fruit­less
quest for a place to prac­tice?
"I just want to learn some­thing
about judo," said one
student of the sport.
"It's a competitive sport
and handy at times," said a
practical thinker of t he
Oriental art.
"I joined because there
were a lot of girls in it," said
one misguided enthusiast.
Only one of the coeds now
remains, M a r y Catherine
Venable, and she is probably
the most challenged member
of the group.
"I thought it would be in­teresting"
— grins broke out
from the other members—
"and since I was on the rec­reation
committee, I decided
to give it a try," she said.
"A lot of people have in­vested
much time and money
into this, and have nothing to
show for it," said Carter, who
holds a brown belt, the sec­ond/
degree from the top.
,*'About 30 have invested in
buying a Gi—traditional judo
outfit—and haven't had too
much chance to use their $10
investment," he added.
So until somehow or an­other
t h e persistent group
comes up with sufficient
equipment from someone or
somewhere, the only tossing
around that they will be do­ing
is in their sleep with
their coarse canvas-like judo
robes.

meningitis scare w i th
four league titles as yet
undecided.
Play-offs will get under­way
as soon as the ban is lift­ed.
The originally scheduled
double-elimination play - off
may be modified, however.
Some action did occur be­fore
the ban was imposed.

DeFore's Got It
Among the 2,200 fans that witness the Auburn-Georgia
basketball game, there was one who kept his eyes glued on
the Tiger's AU-SEC candidate, Lee DeFore. Mr. Buddy
Jeannette, a scout for the Baltimore Bullets of the National
Basketball Association, was at the game and was impressed
with DeFore's performance, even though Lee tallied only
14 points.
"He didn't have a real good night," Jeanette said after
the game, "but I was pleased with what I saw. You really
can't tell much against a zone defense." Georgia played a
zone all night.
Jeanette said that Joe Newton, a former Tiger, and now a
member of the Bullet "taxi" squad, had talked about DeFore
so much that he had to see DeFore play for himself.
"I think Lee is big enough to play forward in the pros,"
he said. "He's only 6 foot 6, but we have the Von Arsdale
twins and Jerry Sloan, playing up front." The Von Arsdales
and Sloan stand 6 foot 5.
Jeannette said that he thought a pro should play the
position he played in college because he is used to the posi­tion
and would be more accurate in his schooting.
THE WINNING COMBINATION
This is Auburn's Army ROTC rifle team which recently won the Alabama championship.
Team members are: kneeling left to right, Cistian Rodatz, Robert Kinney, Roger Brook-shire
and W. R. Gwin. Standing left'to right, Sgt. B. G. Provow, Barry Smith, John Cloud,
John Baker, Claude Renauld and Capt. W. A. Spin.

The weather has been a de­cisive

As a new grad,
do you know
where you want to be
15 years from now?
As a Pan Am Range Professional on the ETR you'll have a pretty good idea
after the first year or so. Pan Am is responsible for specifying almost all the
range instrumentation hardware and systems for the nation's space and mis­sile
launches at the Eastern Test Range. It's a vast technological operation
giving you exposure to a great diversity of advanced tracking, telemetry, com­munications,
data handling and display systems which will help you choose
— in a fairly short time—where your career interests lie.
Even when you do decide, you aren't tied to your first area of discipline.
Quite the contrary. The nature of the new range technology produces —and
Pan Am encourages—a multi-disciplined individual who works in many spe­cialties
(radar, telemetry, electrical, optics, command/control, timing, hydrau­lics,
statistics, infrared, orbital mechanics, structures, air conditioning, instru­mentation,
communications and many others).
At the onset you have several main directions open to you.
You may find that systems engineering is what you're best qualified for. In
our Engineering Group, you'll be developing specifications for range instru­mentation
systems, evaluating bids from industry, providing technical guid­ance
for future development, monitoring manufacture and installation, and
phasing systems into operational status.
Or you may be best suited to the front line as an Operations Engineer— a real­time
monitor of vehicle flight performance at one of the down-range tracking
stations from, the Bahamas to the Indian Ocean, or on one of the fleet of
advanced range instrumentation ships.
On the other hand, you might qualify for our engineering administration
groups involved in technical management, industrial engineering, environ­mental
operations control, production control, industrial support, instrumen­tation
and facilities planning.
Whatever your initial preference, you'll be seeing the entire range in operation.
For further information, see your Placement Director. Or write to Manager of
College Relations, Dept. 301.

Boy 'Down Under'
Guy Letter
(Editor's note: Last week we presented the first part
of a letter from Freddie Guy, former Auburn basketballer,
who, along with another ex-Auburnite, Tim Pearson, is
now in Austrailia. Here is the second and final part.)
The Australians are good athletes and have a burning
dtsire to excel in any sport they chose to play. Most pick
one sport and stay with it, hoping to work it to perfection.
In basketball, it is surprising to find that there are many
fine shooters about, but their over-all knowledge of the
game is lacking. There is much undeveloped talent and
a glaring lack of big boys.
Part two of a two-part series
The bigger boys are inclined to play Australian Rules
Football, the very passion of the Victorian people and the
headline hogger year-round. With the big boys in foot­ball,
I am a regular giant at 6 feet 7.
We find with our American 'star" buildup that most
I| teams are out to test us, watch our every move and des-
§| perately try to beat the Americans, the world power of
1 basketball. So far they've not succeeded, although there
j§ have been many close scores. With our young boys against j
|f teams of older players, any superiority that Tim and I j
1 might have is usually equalized.
Church runs the shuffle offense. This was adopted by j
§ Mr. Watson from Auburn and has, up until a few years j
ago, ripped opposing teams to shreads. But most of the j
I teams run free-lance stuff, with variations that might j
1 include a tandem post, splitting the guards, or a network j
of various screens for one special shooter. There is not j
1| found a multiple of complex patterns and offenses that
you find in the states. j
As a matter of fact, there is no need to scout any of
1 the opposition in Australia, as everybody knows what the f
s§ . t
Eg other is running. |
PROMOTERS j
We have done and hope to do, everything within our f
§ power to promote the interest in basketball. People who |
I have given the game a try love it but there is little spec-
I tator interest. Through TV interviews, radio, newspaper j
| conferences, bulletins, and conversation with everyone we S
I meet, we hope to break basketball into the really big time \
1 of sports activity. j
A real boost in this category will be the visit by San \
. Jose State University in June for a few games with the
I Church team. I think this will give many of the people
I a first glimpse of top rate basketball, and with proper |
' pre-game promotion, we should not have any trouble filling
1 our stadium to capacity and more. j
There is also strong rumor that if we have a good show-
1 ing against San Jose or maybe upset them, that we will
I take a tour of the U.S- the following Christmas. This also
I depends on the possibility of a guaranteed gate from the
H toured schools. • • \
Tim and I have been after them to make it over to
1 Auburn, Alabama, Tech and Georgia. So don't be sur- \
' praised if we rout the big Tigers in the Sports Arena next
Christmas. I am serious about this matter, if we can
talk Mr. Watson into it and can arrange a game with
1 Coach Beard with a gate receipt, we're on our way.
My high schol is called Glenroy. Tim is at Strathmore \
; and is teaching physical culture and history. I am teaching
i geography, history and English (American) to Forms 1, 2, ]
and 3, Or in our system, seventh, eighth and ninth
graders. , ... i
Tim is in charge of a large part of the, sporting activity
I and has been granted full control of a basketball program j
that he initiated and has arranged through much effort
| | and salesmanship. \
We are both novelties at our schools and students are \
eager to find out all they can about our former way of j
' life and the land we are from. The teachers are not far
behind. They are a good group, very colorful, and I was
II honored with their invitation to join them on their weekly \
' pub or (for us) tavern night but had to decline due to
1 financial—and moral obligation.
SLOW AND EASY
We have made many interesting observations of the
Australian way of life. As I mentioned earlier, the Aussies j
I love their sports, especially outdoor sports. They also love j

Have astronauts
made pilots old hat?
Sure, the boys who go_
off the "pads" get the big, bold headlines. But if you
want to fly, the big opportunities are still with the
aircraft that take off and land on several thousand
feet of runway.
Who needs pilots? TAC does. And MAC. And SAC.
And ADC.
There's a real future in Air Force flying. In years to
come aircraft may fly higher, faster, and further than
we dare dream of. But they'll be flying, with men
who've had Air Force flight training at the controls.
Of course the Air Force also has plenty of jobs for
those who won't be flying. As one of the world's
largest and most advanced research and develop­ment
organizations, we have a continuing need for
scientists and engineers.
Young college graduates in these fields will find
that they'll have the opportunity to do work that is
both interesting and important. The fact is, nowhere
will you have greater latitude or responsibility right
from the start than on the Aerospace Team — the
U.S. Air Force!
Interested? The place to find out more is at the
office of the Professor of Aerospace Studies, if
there is an Air Force ROTC unit on your campus.

Heart Fund Asks For Donations
Faculty and staff at Auburn now have a chance to help
combat the nation's number one killer—which claims the lives
of about one million Americans a year.
Contributions can be made
to the Alabama Heart Associa­tion
within the next several
weeks, according to Dr. Ralph
Strength, chairman of the cam­pus
drive.
Dr. Strength, professor of
animal science, was appointed
to the position by State Heart
Fund Chairman, by state chair­man
Arthur Tonsmiere of Mo­bile.
He will be assisted by
Ralph Black ETV engineering
aide.
"It is our desire to top last
year's record of $600," Dr.
Strength said. "The Alabama

FOREIGN WORKSHOP
BEGINS TODAY
A third annual state work­shop
for foreign student advis­ers
in 15 Alabama colleges and
universities is scheduled today
at Maxwell AFB, Air Univer­sity,
Ala. "New Innovations in
Foreign Student Counseling" is
the workshop theme.
State Coordinator Don Wil­liams,
foreign student adviser
at Auburn University, said the
purpose of the workshop is to
improve services to foreign stu­dents
on Alabama college cam­puses.
Other college represen­tatives
will include admissions
officers, English professors, and
financial aid officers.
Williams said the workshop
is sponsored by the field service
program of the National Asso­ciation
for Foreign Student Af­fairs.
R. William Foley, district di­rector
of the U.S. Immigration
and Naturalization Service of
Atlanta, will attend the work­shop.

LIP READING CLASS
COMING
A class in lip reading to aid
visual communication for those
who are deaf or hard of hearing
is planned spring quarter.
While the course is being of­fered
primarily for credit to
those interested in theory and
practical application, it will alsq^
be open to persons in the area
who are deaf or hard of hear­ing.
The class will meet on Tues­days
and Thursdays from 4 to
6:30 p.m., in Samford Hall be­ginning
March 24. Persons in­terested
in auditing the class
are invited to contact Peter
Mueller, instructor, Speech and
Hearing Clinic.
ticns are investing close to $20,-
000 at Auburn in two fellow­ships
and one grant-in-aid for
special studies in heart and
blood vessel disease. We hope
all University personnel will
contribute generously.
According to Dr. Strength, a
letter containing a donation
envelope is being mailed to
faculty and staff this week.
Representatives will be ap­pointed
in each department for
collection of the funds.
"Great advances have been
made against the heart and
blood vessel diseases in the
years since the Heart Associa­tion
became a voluntary organi­zation
in 1948," Dr. Strength
said. "The public's attitude of
pessimism about heart disease
has been reversed. Today we
know that some forms of heart
and blood vessel diseases can
be prevented, some cured and
almost all helped with proper
treatment after early diagnosis.
"Most heart attack victims
recover from initial attacks,"
Dr. Strength added, "and of
those who do, three out of
four go back to work. High
blood pressure, which can cause
heart, brain, and kidney
damage now can be controlled
in most instances."
Stroke is no longer hopeless,
the fund drive chairman said,
and most cases of rheumatic
fever can be prevented. Pro­gress
has also been made in
correcting congenital heart de­fects
through surgery.
"We must expand our efforts
in the fight against these
diseases," Dr. Strength said. "I
ask every resident of the col­lege
community to support this
vital fight against the heart
diseases by giving more gener­ously
than ever before to the
Heart Fund."
Six Children Prove No Hindrance
In Search Of Graduate Education
By DOT ANDERSON
"They're used to their mama with a book under one arm
and a load of groceries in the other," says Mrs. Faye M. Churchill,
graduate student and mother of six.
Mrs. Churchill is busy with a children by
thesis, three hours of classes a
day and clinical work at the
Auburn University Hearing and
Speech Clinic. She is working
toward her master's degree in
audiology during the week.
Weekends are spent with her
husband and family in Talla­dega.
How does the family manage
a whole week without her? "A
wonderful husband, a good
maid, and six self-sufficient
children is the answer," says
Mrs. Churchill. "I make up
enough biscuits for a week on
Sunday night, put them in the
freezer and they're all set for
the week."
Ranging in ages from nine to
18, most of the children are
used to their mother's being a
school girl. Mrs. Churchill's
desire to get an education start­ed
in 1958. Out of school for
11 years and with three small
a previous mar­riage,
she began her freshman
year at Alabama State College
at Montevallo.
She received her' B.S. in
speech and hearing in 1962.
From there she started work­ing
as a hearing and speech
therapist at the Alabama Insti­tute
for the Deaf and Blind at
Talladega.
Mrs. Churchill met her hus­band
in Talladega. "He im­pressed
me as a wonderful, en­ergetic
person despite his
handicaps. He had lost a leg
and an arm in an accident and
his wife had just died, leaving
him three children to look
after."
"We just put together our
two families and made one big,
happy family," she smiled. "My
little girl expressed it this way
—'I used to like Robert (her
stepbrother) even before we
married them'!"
DR. CHEN TO SPEAK
A closed circuit television

Dr. Chen's main address will
be presented at 3:30 p.m. today
in Dunstan 301. Faculty, grad­uate
students and seniors inter­ested
in the subject are invited
to attend.
Dr. Chen, chairman of the
department of electrical engi­neering
at Florida, is a native

Honor Societies' Head
Stresses 'Wholeness'
The importance of academic excellence to the student beyond
the classroom is not an either-or proposition, in the opinion of
an Auburn official who holds the nation's top office in the
Association of College Honor Societies.
Dean James E. Foy, president
of ACHS which represents the
top 35 per cent of the nation's
students through 38 member
honor societies, emphasizes the
importance of total develop­ment
of the student during his
college years.
"A man is a mind, but he is
also a personality and a charac­ter.
Following his studies, he
must work with others and this
will depend on the characteris­tics
he develops outside the
classroom," said Foy, dean of
student affairs since 1960.
During this period and the
previous eight years in which
he was director of student ac­tivities
here, Dean Foy's major
interest has been his work with
student government leaders.
Through student government
the student has the best oppor­tunity
to develop outside the
classroom, Dean Foy said.
"The development of the
whole student is important so
that he can really be effective
with w h a t he learns in the
classroom," Dean Foy added.
"A smart person in the class­room
who is not loyal, who
can't get along with others,
can't go far. He has to be a hu­man
being."
Dean Foy's work in an offi­cial
capacity with honor socie­ties
has paralleled his work
with students outside the class­room
at Auburn. For the past
13 years he has served as na­tional
secretary of Phi Eta
Sigma, national freshman hon­orary.
He holds the service
award from Omicron Delta
Kappa for his four years of
service as province deputy for
a five-state area. He is cur­rently
serving his first year of
a two-year term as president
of ACHS and will preside at
that group's annual meeting in
San Antonio, Tex.
One of the business matters
before the ACHS conference
this month will be the consider­a
t i o n of Xi Sigma Pi forrester's
honor society, for membership,
Dean Foy noted. This national
society has a chapter here.
The ACHS was organized in
1925 through a movement start­ed
by Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma
Xi, and' Alpha Omega Alpha.
Its objective is to encourage all
general and departmental honor
societies to join forces for the
establishment and maintenance
of desirable standards and use­ful
functions in higher educa­tion.

He jaywalks across the street,

He picks up a morning paper,

a close observer notes that the
