Three-day blood drive aims for 5,000 pints
:>: By JOE LEHMAN
S: A goal of 5,000 pints has been set for the third annual
•:•: spring blood drive, according to Joe Busta, chairman of
& the blood drive committee.
S This goal, if successfully reached, would break the
* national record of 4,812 pints which was set by Auburn
:|: last April.
:j: The three day drive will run from 1-7 p.m. on April 2
•:•: and 3 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 4. It will be
:$ held in the Sports Arena and Student Activities Building.
:•:• "All the facilities the Red Cross can muster from
•:•: throughout the state will provide 72 beds along with doc­tors,
nurses and support personnel for use in the drive,"
Busta, recently elected IFC president, said Monday.
ATTEMPT TO BREAK RECORD
"I hope that students will support our attempt to break
last April's record; Auburn has received national recog­nition
from the successful drives and could do so again,"
he added.
. Auburn received the George Washington Honor Medal
from the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge, Pennsyl­vania
for setting the record in last year's two-day drive.
This achievement is recorded in the Congressional Re­cord.
The University has also received recogn ition from
President Johnson, Vice-President Humphrey, General
Westmoreland, commanding general in Vietnam and other
national and military leaders for its world record.
Trophies will be given to all organizations who have
100 per cent participation. Organizations wishing to com­pete
for a trophy must turn in their active member rolls
to Busta in the IFC or Student Body offices by April 1.
RELEASE AND CONSENT
Students who are not 21 years of age are required by
state laws to have a release and consent form signed by
their parents before they can give blood. Forms have
been distributed in dorms and fraternity houses and are
available in the Student Body or IFC offices.
Since the Department of Defense is now collecting all
the blood necessary for use in Vietnam from military per­sonnel
none of the blood collected will go overseas.
Most of the blood collected will be used locally in Ala­bama
and Mississippi.
Auburn has collected a total of 20,175 pints of blood
for the American Red Cross since January 1952.
Coach Ralph "Snug" Jordan and the Auburn football i
squad will kick-off the drive by being the first group to :
donate blood. Two Medal of Honor winners from Ft. i
Benning, Ga. will also be among the first to give.

The Delta Tau Delta
house, which was damaged
by fire on March 2, was
the fifth Auburn fraternity
house to burn in ten years.
Approximately half of the
upper floor was destroyed, and
extensive smoke damage was
the result of the blaze.
Other fraternities having
fires within the past decade
are Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Delta
Theta, Phi Gamma Delta and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The
only fatality recorded was at
the SAE fire in the winter of
1966.
The fire rate has prompted
Pres. Harry M. Philpott to
call for stricter fire inspec­tions
and stern measures to
see that inspectors' sugges­tions

Choice'68 straw vote
Ballot lists 13 men, 3 issues
Thirteen presidential
hopefuls and three quest­ions
of national importance
have been listed on the
official ballot released by
the CHOICE 68 Committee.
The national collegiate
straw poll is scheduled for
April 18 on the Auburn
campus in conjunction with
student government and
publications elections.
Candidates listed on the
ballot are: Lyndon Johnson,
Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther
King, Jr., and Eugene Mc-
Carthy-Democratic Party;
Mark Hatfield, John Lindsay,
Richard Nixon, Charles Percy,
Ronald Reagan, Nelson Rocke­feller
and Harold Stassen-
Re publican Party; George
Wallace-American Independent
Party; and Fred Halstead-
Socialist Workers Party.
The name of Michigan Gov.
George Romney, which was
placed on the original ballot,
was removed from considera­tion
after his withdrawal from
the New Hampshire Republi­can
primary.
An official of the national
CHOICE 68 Committee said
that " Romeny's abrupt deci­sion
of Feb. 28 that he in­tended
to withdraw from the
presidential race left the
Board of Directors with little
alternative but to comply with
the spirit of the Governor's
announcment.''

In November, 1967, the IFC
Fire Inspection Team found
25 of Auburn's 27 fraternities
to be "deficient in fire safety
standards." Only Chi Phi and
Phi Delta Theta met the ap­proval
of the inspecting team.
The inspector's suggestions
ranged from general cleaning
up and replacing electrical
fuses and wires to adding out­side
third floor fire escapes.
Delta Tau Delta's inspection
report recommended a hood
and filter for the stove, fuse
replacements, use of exten­sion
cords, wiring checks and
an outside fire exit.
The Delta Tau Delta house­keeping
rating in the fall was
fair, as was most other fra­ternities.

Computer 'best ever'
Registration improving
By JAMES THORNTON
Computer registration and
the schedule adjustment
period are improving con­siderably
each quarter, ac­cording
to Homer Fisher,
assistant registrar.
''Although this is only a
preliminary observation,"
stated Fisher, "on the basis
of what we observed during
the schedule adjustment ses­sion
last week, this has been
the best schedule adjustment
period we have had since the
beginning of computer re­gistration
and even before
that."
Of the 11,185 students who
registered by computer, 9,052
or 80.9 per cent of the stu­dents
received complete sche­dules
as compared with 78.1
per cent last quarter.
"The problem in the past
hasn't been with the computer
system but with the schedule
adjustment period," said
Fisher. "The computer can
not generate instructors and
classrooms out of thin air; it
can only work with what we
have here at Auburn.
"But the computer has
helped the university in this
aspect by pinpointing the man­power,
classroom and labora­tory
shortages," added
Fisher.
"We have had fewer errors
this time than during any other
r e g i s t r a t i o n , commented
Fisher. "Apparently more stu­dents
are listing alternates on
their course request forms, and
the deans have been much
more thorough in checking a
student's excuse for adjusting
his schedule. They have been
taking care of the hardship
cases first rather than allow­ing
just anyone to go through
schedule adjustment for any
reason."
"I am not trying to paint a
rosy picture, but generally we
were well pleased with the
registration this quarter. It
appears that we have made
substantial headway in im­proving
the overall computer
registration," stated Fisher.
Fisher also added that the
university is considering ac­quiring
a new IBM computer,
which will help registration
considerably.

Pep pill sales
draw penalty
By John Reynolds
Students caught distributing "pep pills" to their
friends during finals would be treated as are peddlers of
"hard" drugs and subject to a 10-year prison term and a
$15,000 fine under a proposed Johnson-administration
bill.
The Johnson proposal also seeks to make possession
of "hallucinogenic drugs (including LSD) and other sti­mulant
and depressant drugs" a crime punishable only
as a misdemeanor. However, it would be a felony to
manufacture or sell the drugs.
Although the bill is favored by the House Committee
on Public Health and Welfare, the Senate Juvenile De­linquency
Subcommittee apparently leans toward aboli­tion
of penalties for possession of drugs, marijuana in
particular. The prevailing sentiment seems to be that
these stringent laws are not enforceable.
MONEY PROBLEMS IN FLORIDA
Financial collapse threatened Florida's seven state
universities until several weeks ago, but the allocation
of $18.5 million by the Florida legislature forestalled
anticipated severe limitations on the universities.
An almost total shut down of Florida universities for
the summer quarter, an arbitrary enrollment for next fall,
and a decrease in faculty was averted by the action.
However, the appropriations bill, which the legislature
passed unsigned by Florida Gov. Claude Kirk, fell short
of being a panacea for the state's education ills. The
construction of new campus buildings will be at a. stand­still
because no funds were provided for the building
program.
Though the consensus of most Florida university ad­ministrators
is that the- allocation is adequate, Dexter
Hagman, president of the Florida Education Association,
has voiced opposition to the appropriations bill. Hag-man
said the amount was inadequate and that officials of
Florida's universities "sold themselves out too cheap."
"I don't think they want to fight," he continued. It was
pointed out by Hagman that the quality of the professors
and future enrollment will suffer because of the limited
funds.

If you don't agree that
business destroys individuality,
maybe it's because you're an
individual.
There's certain campus talk that claims
individuality is dead in the business world.
That big business is a big brother destroy­ing
initiative.
But freedom of thought and action, when
backed with reason and conviction's cour­age,
will keep and nurture individuality
whatever the scene: in the arts, the sciences,
and in business.
Scoffers to the contrary, the red corpus­cles
of individuality pay off. No mistake.
Encouraging individuality rather than
suppressing it is policy in a business like
Western Electric—where we make and pro­vide
things Bell telephone companies need.
Because communications are changing fast,
these needs are great and diverse.
Being involved with a system that helps
keep people in touch, lets doctors send car­diograms
across country for quick analysis,
helps transmit news instantly, is demand­ing.
Demanding of individuals.
If your ambition is strong and your abili­ties
commensurate, you'll never be truly
happy with the status quo. You'll seek
ways to change it and—wonderful feeling!—
some of them will work.
Could be at Western Electric.

[From Vietnam u
Thank God for the good people of A uburn'
Ed. Note: Help-Em, a clothes drive for war-orphaned
Vietnamese children, was held in January by Auburn
students. Sgt. Charles Muscat, a former Auburn ROTC
instructor, told the University of the children's need.
The following is a letter written to Paul Nix, Help-Em
chairman and Brice James, superintendent of campus
drives, shortly after the Viet Cong Lunar New Year's
offensive.
"The mail came in today for the first time in a week.
It's been somewhat of a hectic week. Anyway, I received
your letter today and one from Colonel Marshall.
"The orphanage was taken over by the VC during
'Tet'. Most of the kids went home for the New Year, and
fortunately the nuns were able to get the remaining 30
to 40 kids out before the VC's moved in. One VC was
killed on the school grounds while two more were killed
fleeing. The town of Dong Nai where the school is was
ripped up bad, but other than a few bullet holes in the
roof and sides of the church, the school is okay.
"The home's kitchen was burned some, but my new
refrigerator is fine. I got the refrigerator last month, and
I'm in the process of getting an electric water pump.
"The 'School of the Holy Cross" (the name of the
orphanage) is going to field a basketball team as soon
as I can teach them how to play. Right now our equipment
consists of a bottomless waste paper basket for the goal
and a somewhat beatup volleyball which is used as a
basketball and a soccer ball. The ball has a damned
leak in it, and I can't find the leak so I have to keep
pumping it up during games. However, I expect to get a
regular goal and ball in the near future.
"Right after mail call this morning I took the letters
from you and Col. Marshall to Cha Joachim, the priest
who runs the school. Needless to say he was delighted
to receive this news of the clothes drive, especially at
this time. We decided on a name for our basketball team.
The name is "Auburn's Con Cop Nko-Vietnam," which
means Auburn's Little Tigers in Vietnam. For short,
we'll call them 'Con Cop Nko' (Little Tigers).
"In Colonel Marshall's letter, he said he hoped 'this
drive will prove to be a significant effort on Auburn's
part to enhance the civic actions program.' He wrote the
letter Jan. 29, the eve of 'Tet.' He could not have known
at the time just how 'significant' the effort would be.'At"
the time he was writing those wads it was the night of<;
Jan. 29 here. East Bien Hoa, Ho Nai, Don Nai, the School; a
of the Holy Cross and Ke-Sat Orphanage were being ovei?5 •
run by an estimated 2,000 Viet Cong. >&£
"As the people fled from their homes some were killed
and many more were injured.
"The ensuing three day battle proved costly to the VC":
as over 1,000 were killed in action, but it was alsoV;
costly to the people. Much of this area is leveled. Hun™ |
dreds of civilians are homeless. Many fled with only the,-.
clothes on their backs. Since Auburn's 600 pounds <&'<
clothes will be among the first to arrive in this area,'({
, C'CJ
every stitch of it will find immediate use. To quote one.;
of the nuns at the orphanage as best I can translate,^'

'Sure, I'd give, b u t . . . '
"Sure, I'd give a pint of blood
but..." Haven't got time? Embarrased
because you fear the needle? Don't
think the Red Cross really needs yours
anyway?
If you haven't given blood before-and
you are normal-then you are pro­bably
thinking of excusing yourself
from participation in next week's blood
drive for these or other reasons. You
might have a genuine desire to post­pone
the giving of that first pint of
blood just a little longer.
If you allow humanitarian concern
to overcome your malaise at the
thought of giving blood, however, you
will be pleasantly surprised at how
easy giving is. Sure, the needle
stings and your head may feel light
for a moment or two; but the signifi­cance
of the gift requires that it cost
you something. It always costs some­thing
to give; when you realize that in
giving blood you are giving life, how­ever,
the cost is next to nothing.
Besides, your life may at some time
depend on the charitable concern of
someone else. Where would you be if
that person were to decide not to
give?
If you've given blood before, you
don't need convincing. You know it's
easy.
As with last year's record-breaking
drive, there will be plenty of compe­tent
help on hand to aid the donor.
The Red Cross is staffing the Student
Ac and Sports Arena well. There will
be plenty of pretty girls-War Eagle
Girls, nurses, and others-to take care
of the few men-and women-who may
need it.
No, the blood won't go to American
soldiers in Vietnam. The military is
supplying its own. But the Red Cross
will inform you quickly that the need
is acute on the home front. Though the
giving may not seem glamorous as it
did last year-in the end none of that
blood went to Vietnam either-still
the deed is no less noble.
And in the final analysis, no matter
what is said about awards and the goal
of 5,000 pints in three days, the giv­ing
must be individual. Let's hope the
Auburn individual, noted for his record
of genuine, enthusiastic concern,
comes through again.
Don't forget. The Student Ac, Tues­day
through Thursday. Be there.
A threat to lite and property
If the four other fraternity house
fires in recent years had not alerted
responsible Auburn citizens to the
need for renewed efforts to raise and
enforce fire safety standards, per­haps
the recent burning of the Delta
Tau Delta house did.
Auburn University officials have
indicated that they will start to en­force
fire regulations already in exist­ence.
The Interfraternity Council says
it will levy heavier fines on those
fraternities who ignore the recommen­dations
of fire inspection teams.
Although we realize that implemen­tation
of the necessary safety mea­sures
may often be expensive and
difficult, we are shocked to learn that
six fire inspections have been con­ducted
by the IFC in the last two
years and that a significant majority
of fraternity houses have been found
deficient-consistently. Limited im­provements
were made by some fra­ternities
but not all.; No fines have
been levied.
Negligent as they have been, the
authorities responsible for inspecting
fraternity houses are not entirely
to blame. The Plainsman is amazed
at the apparent irresponsible lack of
concern of fraternity men for their own
safety. How many houses must burn
because of shoddy maintenance before
fraternity men begin to take care of
themselves? Did somebody complain
about the university's "paternal" at­titude
in dealing with students? At
the very least, a significant portion
of the student body is apparently not
readyfor independence.
But the problem is not limited to
the university; fire safety is a problem
for the city as well. The university
has no full-time fire inspector; it
needs one. But the city of Auburn has
no fire inspector either; and it cer­tainly
needs one. The city fire de­partment
must make inspections when
they can arrange them around other
duties. For a city the size of Auburn
with a major state university, such a
situation is deplorable.
The city is taking steps to improve
fire protection and safety standards.
New water mains and fire plugs are
being installed on West Magnolia, for
example. Other expansions of the water
system have been carried out. In
addition, new equipment has been
purchased and a new building houses
the fire department. But, as one offi­cial
aptly said, "you can never have
too much progress.';' The city of Au­burn
is not anywhere near that stage.
Keeping pace with the growth of the
community is difficult and expensive.
But it must be done.
Of course, the university presents
the city with special problems. As a
state institution, the University is
tax exempt. Instead, the university
pays the city a flat fee each year for
fire protection. If necessary to imple­ment
adequate facilities for fire pro­tection,
that fee should be increased.
It is apparent that at some point in the
very near future, the city will need to
purchase a ladder truck capable of
serving the taller buildings on the
campus. The city has none now.
It is also apparent that each citizen
needs to be more conscious of the
fire protection needs in this commun-ity-
the university and the city to­gether.
The proper steps for minimum
protection of fraternity houses and the
rest of the community as well should
not be delayed.
The threat to life and property de­mands
prompt action.

McCarthy and politics:
a healthful influence
By Bruce Hkhols
"Our children have come home," read
the caption of a full-page advertisement in
the New York Times last Sunday. Most of the ad was taken
by up a picture of a smiling Eugene McCarthy in the midst of
an enthusiastic group of young people.
In the script below the caption, the thought continued.
'' Suddenly t h e r e ' s hope
among our young people.
"Suddenly they've come
back into the mainstream of
American life. And it's a
different country.
"Suddenly the kids have
thrown themselves into poli­tics,
with all their fabulous
intelligence and energy. And
it's a new election.
"You know who did it.
Eugene McCarthy."
And so the ad continues
with heavy emphasis, of
course, on McCarthy's posi­tion
on the war and ending
with an appeal for contribu­tions
to the McCarthy cam­paign
coffers.
News commentators across
the country have noted student
activity in the McCarthy cam­paign
in terms almost as
hopeful as the McCarthy ad.
The commentators observe
correctly that many students
who once were relegating our
established system to the
junkheap are now reinforcing
that system by their partici­pation
in the national politics
of 1968.
"Our children have come
home," the ad said.
And the words capture the
strange character of this
spring before a national elect­ion.
Despite a stale Vietnam
war, pale progress in solving
urban problems and an ap­parently
frail economy, there
is an atmosphere of fresh­ness-
new life, new growth,
new vigor-in the national
mood to match the nascent
newness of life coming out of
the earth. A political system
is engaged in a vigorous
cross-examination of thought
and is gaining new strength
from the struggle between
new and old.
McCarthy cannot claim sole
credit, as the New York Times
ad suggests, for renewed stu­dent
participation in national
politics. Student interest in
working with conventional
methods within the system
waned but never died. Some
observers assumed a few radi­cal
voices to be broadly re­presentative
of American stu­dent
attitudes merely because
they made the most noise. But
the fact is that observers
have tended to overemphasize
student disaffection with the
establishment as a system;
the disaffection has been with
personalities, not with the
political system. The majori­ty
of college students today
cut their teeth on the "Came-lot"
atmosphere surrounding
John F. Kennedy. He showed
them that ideals are not yet
dead in American government
and p o l i t i c s ; he gave a
glimpse of what might be
done-and his image sustains
youthfulfaith in the American
system. Though Lyndon John­son
realized many of Kenne­dy's
goals, he has been un­able
to realize his own and
the war and his uninspiring
personal leadership have tar­nished
his armor.
Nevertheless, McCarthy is
a catalyst. And the reapprai­sal
of US policies and atti­tudes
which he leads is vital
to the continued vigor of this
nation. We must find alterna­tives
to unending, fruitless
conflict in Vietnam; in addi­tion,
we must look for new
solutions to the problems of
the cities. McCarthy is at the
forefront in the former and
reportedly will soon come
forth with proposals for the
latter.
Whether in the end s student
support goes to McCarthy or
Robert Kennedy, McCarthy
deserves much credit for
courageously opening the dia­logue
on an issue which
many, both young and old,
feel strongly about-the war.
McCarthy's action has contri­buted
significantly to the
political good health of the
nation.
Poverty, in-party fight..
King to force Johnson
to meet Kennedy dare
By Jimmy Reeder
Plans for Dr. Martin Luther King's poor
people's march on Washington next month
have been greeted with open admiration and equally strong
opposition. Dr. King and his followers see it as a legiti­mate.,
means of airing dissatisfactions with their economic
condition. Its opponents view it as political blackmail.
The marchers want major
changes in the nation's wel­fare
system and other steps
to improve the economic con­dition
of the nation's poor.
They want guaranteed annual
income, education, training
and jobs.
The Alabama director of
the Southern Christian Leader­ship
Conference, Albert
Turner, plans to take 200
Alabama Negroes to Washing­ton.
He told an Auburn audi­ence
recently that 45 per
cent of American Negroes are
living in poverty. He said
that the unemployment level
among Negroes is higher than
ten per cent.
"These are emergency
conditions" and we will use
last resort methods of incon­veniencing
the majority to
draw the nation's attention
to our problem," said Turner.
These "emergency condi­tions"
threaten to divide the
Democratic party just four
years after one of the greatest
election victories in Ameri­can
history. Sen. Robert
Kennedy is challenging Pre­sident
Johnson on the admini­stration'
s order of priorities.
He feels the administration
has reversed itself from its
campaign pledge to fight a
war on poverty at home and
keep the peace in Vietnam.
While Johnson says we can
fight a war on both fronts,
Kennedy would place domes­tic
programs ahead of the
Vietnamese war. King and
his followers are not likely
to let Johnson fall back on
past accomplishments.
"We can't say exactly
what weapons we might have
to use in order to win our
goals," said SCLC head
Turner. The marchers could
well reject the first admini­stration
offers and apply
pressure for further programs.
Marches, sit-ins at govern­ment
buildings and erection
of a "portable slum" tent
city on the lawns of our
government buildings are
planned to draw attention to
their plight.
If the demonstration lasts
into the summer, as seems
likely, Kennedy's candidacy
could force Johnson to take
some action on King's de­mands.
Johnson will face a
strong challenge by Kennedy
at the Democratic convention.
LBJ will want to go into the
convention with every point
he can get on his side.
Had Johnson done more
sooner, perhaps there would
have been no costly rioting
last summer. He might not be
faced with an embarrassing
s i t u a t i o n of demonstrators
saying he has not kept his
campaign promise to them.
Had Johnson acted earlier
perhaps the march would
never have been planned. He
would then have avoided the
tremendous pressure which
can be brought to bear on him.
Johnson may well face the
most difficult political
struggle of his career. Yet
by responding to the
marcher's plea, and with a
sharp turn of events in Viet­nam,
he could well come
out the winner.

'Burn baby burn!' is
Auburn's neglect story
By David Housel
Auburn officials are fortunate that no one
was killed or injured in the Delta Tau Delta
fraternity house fire on March 2.
If there had been an injury or fatality, the University and
fraternity would be in the uncomfortable position of trying to
explain why fire safety rules were on the books, but not
rigidly enforced. _ chell. extremely important
Strict fire safety rules have m?asures-have been neglect-'
been on the Interfraternity
Council's books since the
Winter of 1966 when a student
was killed in a fire at the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon house,
but these rules have not been
. enforced following inspect­ions.
Individual fraternities
have been responsible for
implementing improvements,
but response has been poor.
In the two years since the
SAE fire, there have been six
fire inspections. IFC records
show that almost every fra­ternity
has had the same fire
hazards quarter after quarter.
IFC regulations call for
fines ranging from $200 to
$500 to be levied against
fraternities not following the
inspectors' suggestions, yet
not one fraternity has been
fined.
IFC officials and Dr. Ed­ward
Taylor, adviser to fra­ternities,
says that fraterni­ties
were excused after the
first inspection from imple­menting
costlier improvements
such as fire escapes and new
wiring until financial means
could be found to fund the
cost of repairs.
The exception and time al­lowance
was necessary and
wise, but a fraternity, or any
other group sincere in its
intentions to meet the in­spection
suggestions, would
have made arrangements in
two years; yet the last in­spection
showed many of the
same hazards that were
noticed in the Winter of 1966.
Not all of the fire hazards
were major ones. Routine
measures-but, according to
Auburn fire chief Ellis Mit-ed.
Some fraternities disregard
fire protection to the extent
of having water battles with
fire extinguishers. Such action
is inexcusable, and a fire
could be the disastrous result
of this painful neglect.
The lack of enforcement
cannot be blamed on any one
individual: neither Dr. Taylor
or Sammy Lacey, chairman of
the IFC's Fire Safety Com­mittee,
are totally responsible
for enforcing the rules. The
blame lies in a system of
enforcement which has no
punch. The IFC must wade
intd the safety issue with the
intention of getting action,
not just suggestions.
Both Dr. Taylor and Lacey
have made preparations to
levy fines against fraternities
which have not followed fire
inspectors' suggestions. Such
action is warranted and should
be supported by the IFC and
University Administration.
The University should also
consider hiring a full-time fire
inspector whose responsibi­lity
would be to work with
fraternities as well as all
student housing and Univer­sity
property to see that the
safest fire regulations are
practiced.
It will be much easier to
enforce the rules already on
the books than it will be to
explain to tearful parents why
their child was killed in a
"fire trap."
And any amount of money
spent on fire prevention is
worth much more now than
money spent on flowers at a
funeral after the smoke has
cleared.

Arab attacks Arnon, clothes drive gets thanks of Vietnamese orphanage
Arnon wouW contradict
himseH if he answered
Editor, The Plainsman:
I attended the ACOIA meet­ing
with the idea that there
would be an exchange of
views between the audience
and the speaker. It was to my
surprise that Mr. Arnon, the
Israel representative,gave his
speech and denied the rights
to., ask him questions by wav­ing
his hands towards me and
saying, " l am not ready to go
in,debate with you."
^ s one of the audience, I
think I have the right to ask
questions. But Mr. Arnon felt
th«i my first question put him
in a place which would show
that he contradicted himself.
This is good evidence to show
that Mr. Arnon defies other
people's opinions, as Israel
ha§ defied world opinion and
did not comply with UN reso­lutions.
My question was "you stated
in your speech that the Arab
countries have the doctrine
of no negotiation, no recogni­tion,
no peace. Do you think
th^t, the Arab countries have
the rights to do so for some­thing
which does not belong
to them? It is not the right no*
do so directly with the Pales­tine
people."
I tried to ask the second
question, but Mr. Arnon refused
to allow me. Then one Ameri­can
student, whom I had never
seen before, came to me and
asked, "Can you give your
question, and I will ask it."
I appreciated that, and I gave
him the following question:
"You stated that the Jews
never abandoned Palestine.
Can you tell how many Jews
were in Palestine in 1917?"
The answer was "I do not
remember."
The third question which I
was going to ask was "You
stated that the Arab countries
attacked Israel in 1948 and
occupied some of its land,
such as Jordan occupied Jeru­salem
and the west bank of
Jordan; Egypt occupied Gaza;
Syria occupied the Golalan
Heights from where they were
using guns against the fertile
land. Did the Arab countries
enter Palestine after more
than a million inhabitants were
forced from their homes under
the Haganah forces? Do you
think the Arabs should have
waited until you oust one
million more?" These ques­tions
and more I could ask,
and all are directly related to
his speech and to the human
rights.
Anyhow, the facts about the
Middle East are unknown to
most of the American people.

years, but I never read or saw
in the press something which
reflects the true picture about
it. The Arab countries have
people of distinctive groups.
Moslems, Christians, Jews,
and all are treated the same
in the country. The same thing
was in P a l e s t i n e in 1917
(50,000 Jews or five per cent
of the population), Moslems,
and Christians lived together
for the prosperity of their
country. But the political chal­lenge
to Palestine did not
come from the Jewish commu­nity
within it, but from the
Zionist movement which had
established itself in the later
half of the 19th century out­side
Palestine. It will be in­teresting
to know how the re­ligious
Jews of Jerusalem,
Hebron, and Sephardim were
to be strongly opposed to
Zionism.
According to the Zionist's
plan, and under the British
mandate over Palestine, and
after the Balfour declaration
of Nov. 2, 1917, Jews started
immigrating to the area. In the
period of 1944-48,75,000 Zion­ists
came into Palestine. The
guns were supplied to them
under British mandate, and
they called themselves the
"Haganah" or the secret army
of the Zionist.
On May 14, 1948, the man­date
ended, and simultaneous­ly
the Zionists launched a
campaign of brutal violence
against the Arab inhabitants
characterized by the massacre
of "Deir Yassine" with the
sole purpose of reviling the
Arabs of Palestine and driving
them out. The leader of the
Israeli "Irgun" terrorists,
murdered the whole village of
"Deir Yassine" population.
Men, women, and children were
butchered in cold blood, and
their mutilated bodies were
thrown into a well. This is
just one example of the atroci­ties
committed; to force the
Arabs out of their homeland..
It is well known about an Ir­gun
press conference where
he announced the deed and pro­claimed
that this was the be­ginning
of the conquest of
Palestine and Transjordan.
Eye witnesses said later that
it was not possible to go near
the village without becoming

After the Zionist drove out

the Arab countries entered
with the intention of protect­ing
them. Thus any accusa­tions

are proved false.
Since 1948 the United
Nations has been passing
similar resolutions as that

year, that refugees choosing
to return to their homes should
be permitted to do so and that
compensation should be paid
for the property of those choos­ing
not to return and for loss

has consistently and obstinate­ly
refused to implement any

an extreme injustice, the
world has heard little of their

"I was determined not to take a job where I'd be

George Leffler. (George, who has his B.S. in Engineering, is

The job itself
"You start by studying a customer's business even before
he orders equipment. Then it's up to you to come up
with a system that solves the customer's problems.
You stay with it until it's installed and fully operational.
You guide the customer every step of the way. So
following through on your own ideas is part of your job."

"Another thing I like about working here is the chance for
advancement. For example, IBM has over 5,000 more

"STRANGE THINGS DO HAPPEN IN AUBURN"
Said broadcaster Matson of snowy games

Sports Editor
Spring, snow and smoke
"Strange things do happen in Auburn."
That's what Auburn Tiger baseball broadcaster Larry
Matson said Saturday long about the fourth inning of the
first game of the Auburn-Florida doubleheader in Plains­man
Park.
Matson was referring to a number of situations^hen he
made the statement, wiping snowflakes off his glasses.
One of the situations was the weather, of course. The
snow came down hard on this, the fourth day of spring.
Fans wrapped themselves in blankets and shawls, and
there were no sunseekers reclining on car hoods out
behind the left field fence.
Matson also found the thick gray smoke which blew
across home plate and emanated from a burning tire near
the Tigers on-deck circle sort of strange. The tire was
a makeshift handwarmer, and when the smoke got to be
too much, it was dragged away and finally extinguished
after leaving a trail of burned up Plainsman Park turf.
But the strangest thing of all was the fact that Auburn
was losing a baseball game to Florida in Auburn. Auburn
does not lose to F l o r i d a in Auburn. But they did
Saturday.
Until this strange day of snow and burning tires, Au­burn
had not lost a baseball game to Florida during
Coach Paul Nix' successful six year tenure.
So after the Tigers lost the game and won the second
in extra innings, one wonders about Nix's reaction to
the events of the day.
Satisfaction? Uh-uh
Well, he wasn't happy about it. But he wasn't dis­appointed
about it either.
"I'm not particularly satisfied," he said. "I felt like
we could have won both games."
The split gives Auburn a 5-2 record thus far. During
the spring break, the Tigers defeated Southern Missis­sippi
and Spring Hill twice each, and lost to South
Alabama.
Nix says three things must happen before his team can
successfully defend its Southeastern Conference and
District Three titles.
1. The pitching must improve.
2. The batters must cut down on strikeouts.
3. The infield must improve.
Right now, Nix is going with five pitchers. George
Simmons is the senior member of the group. Simmons
played the outfield most of last year, then did a cre­ditable
job pitching in the College World Series.
Rodney Wallace has been the most impressive of the
group this year. He is a junior, and had been Nix's short
relief man. In four games, Wallace has won twice, yielded
no runs.
Gene Collins and Tommy Smith are talented sopho­mores.
Smith was a standout last year, and the hard
throwing righty could be a super star.

smash salvages split in snow
By RICHARD WITTISH
Auburn third baseman
Johnny Straiton took a hint,
from teammate Rick Country­man
Saturday and turned a
long, cold afternoon cf
Plainsman Park baseball
into a day to remember.
Straiton led off the eighth
inning of the second game of
an Auburn-Florida double-header
with a home run which
gave the Tigers a 3-2 vic­tory
and a split with the
Gators.
Minutes before George Sim­mons
had put the seven-inning
game into extra frames with a
pinch-hit round tripper in the
Tiger half of the seventh.
SNOWY GAME
Both Straiton and Simmons
had suffered through the snow
flurry-filled first game, a 2-1
loss to the Gators. Simmons
pitched seven innings of five-hit
ball in a losing effort, and
Straiton struck out three times
in three at-bats a g a i n st
Florida pitcher Jim Courier,
who allowed the Tigers only
four hits.
Straiton was oh-for-three
with a strikeout when he came
to bat facing r i g h t h a n d er
Glenn Pickering in the second
game.
After Straiton's previous
trip to the plate, centerfielder
Countryman had advised him
that the Florida coach was
signalling Pickering to pitch
Johnny high and fast.
"Rick saw the coach sig-
JOHNNY STRAITON
Tiger provided punch
nailing the pitcher to throw
right up around my neck,"
said Johnny. "That high fast
ball is iry favorite pitch, but
I'd been dipping my shoulder
all day long and missing it
when I swung. When I went up
the last time, I heard Rick
yelling at me from the on-deck
circle to watch for the pitch. I
knew what was coming and I
hit it."
375-FOOT POKE
Three hundred and seventy-five
feet to left center, he hit
it, a shot which had Gator
centerfielder Tony Dobies
scrambling all over the out­field
fence in an unsuccess­ful
attempt to reach the ball.
"At first I didn't think it
would carry over the fence,"
said Straiton, "but it did and
I'm sure glad I could help win
the game."
The victory left the Tigers
with a 5-2 record, but more
important salvaged a split with
Florida, the Tigers closest
competitor in Auburn's 1968

Auburn's Negro cage signee
to play in top all-star game
Auburn's first Negro ath­letic
scholarship signee,
basketball guard Henry
Harris of Boligee, takes
part in the number one high
school cage all-star game
in the country Friday night.
The 6-2, 180-pound Harris
is one of ten top high school
players in the nation to face
HENRY HARRIS
Cage Signee
ten Pennsylvania prep stars
in Pittsburgh's Dapper Dan
All-Star Game. The game is
sponsored by the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette, and a crowd of
13,000 is expected.
Harris, a B-plus student,
was signed to a grant-in-aid
by Auburn Coach Bill Lynn on
March 13. The Greene County
Training School senior ave­raged
33.5 points a game this
season in leading his team to
a 25-10 record and was sought
by major colleges throughout
the East.
COMPLETE PLAYER
"He's a complete basketball
player," said Lynn. "He's a
good shooter, has good speed
and great hands. He has the
potential to be a great one."
With his signing, Harris be­comes
the first Negro basket­ball
player on a deep-South
Southeastern Conference team.
The only Negro eager in the
SEC this season was Vander-bilt's
Perry Wallace.
Harris selected Auburn, in
lieu of such schools as Villa-nova,
because he liked the
town and the school and its
people, according to his high
school coach, A.W. Young Jr.
"He went to Auburn on a
visit and liked it real well,"
said Young via long-distance
telephone. "He felt like some­one
had to be the first Negro
in deep-South SEC sports, and
he liked Auburn, so he decided
to sign."
VERSATILE PERFORMER
According to Young, Henry
has been a starter on his
school's roundball team since
he was a ninth-grader and cap­tained
the team the last three
years. He also captained and
quarterbacked last season's
football te^am to a . district
championship. • 5
"Henry is the kind of guard
we need to have in order to
win," said Lynn.

MONEY: THE STORY OF AN ENGINEER
We all know, of course, that in this age of technology
every engineering senior is receiving fabulous offers of
employment, but do we realize just how fabulous these
offers are? Do we comprehend just how keenly industry
is competing? Tb illustrate, let me cite the true and typi­cal
case of E. Pluribus Ewbank, a true and typical senior.
One day last week while strolling across the M.I.T
campus, E. Pluribus was hailed by a portly and prosper­ous
man who sat in a yellow convertible studded with-precious
gem stones. "Hello," said the portly and pros­perous
man, "I am Portly Prosperous, president of
American Xerographic Data Processing and Birth Con­trol,
Incorporated. Are you a senior?"
"Yes, sir," said E. Pluribus.
"Do you like this car?" said Portly.
"Yes, sir," said E. Pluribus.
"It's yours," said Portly.
"Thanks, hey," said E. Pluribus.
"Do you like Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades?" •
said Portly.
"What clean living, clean shaven American does not?"
said E. Pluribus.
"Here is a pack," said Portly. "And a new pack will
be delivered to you every twelve minutes as long as you
live."
"Thanks, hey," said E. Pluribus.
"Would your wife like a mink coat ?" said Portly.
"I feel sure she would," said E. Pluribus, "but I am
not married."
"Do you want to be ?" said Portly.
"What clean living, clean shaven American does not?"
said E. Pluribus.
Portly pressed a button on the dashboard of the con­vertible
and the trunk opened up and out came a nubile
maiden with golden hair, rosy knees, a perfect disposi­tion,
and the appendix already removed. "This is Svet-lana
O'Toole," said Portly. "Would you like to marry her?"
"Is her appendix out?" said E. Pluribus.
"Yes," said Portly.
"Okay, hey," said E. Pluribus.
"Congratulations," said Portly. "And for the happy
bride, a set of 300 monogrammed prawn forks."
"Thanks, hey," said Svetlana.
"Now then," said Portly to E. Pluribus, "let us get
down to business. My company will start you at $75,000
a year. You will retire at full salary upon reaching the
age of 26. We will give you ah eleven-story house made of
lapis lazuli, each room to be stocked with edible furniture.
Your children will receive a pack of Personna Super
Stainless Steel Blades every twelve minutes as long as they
shall live. We will keep your teeth in good repair and also
the teeth of your wife and children unto the third genera­tion.
We will send your dentist a pack of Personna Super
Stainless Steel Blades every twelve minutes as long as
he shall live, and thereafter to his heirs and assigns...
Now, son, I want you to think carefully about this offer.
Meanwhile here is 50 thousand dollars in small, un­marked
bills which places you under no obligation what­soever."
"Well, it certainly seems like a fair offer," said E.
Pluribus. "But there is something you should know. I am
not an engineer. In fact I don't go to M.T.T at all. I just
walked over here to admire the trees. I n at Harvard,
majoring in Joyce Kilmer."
"Oh," said Portly.
"I guess I don't get to keep the money and the con­vertible
and the Personnas and the broad, do I ?" said E.
Pluribus.
"Of course you do," said Portly. "And if you'd like the
job, my offer still stands."

Ruzic falls from predicting limb
as Sigma Nu takes fraternity title
: To say the least, things
kind of blew up in my face
at the end of last quarter.
After batting a thousand
during the quarter, every­one
of my predictions went
wrong during the fraternity
basketball playoffs. But I'll
be the first one to eat crow
and give credit to the teams
deserve it.
• As everyone knows, the
Sigma Nu's added a few rattles
to their chain. They came back
and out-hustled everyone after
losing their first game to the
Fiji's and won the fraternity
title. John Robinson and Allen
Oakes played their finest
games during that last week.
I thought the KA's would
have their beards shaven in
the tournament, but there
wasn't a razor to be found-that
could cut one of their
whiskers. Even though they
lost two games to the Sigma
Nu's, they surprised a lot of
people. Coach Eddie William­son
along with their star
player, Larry Mosley, deserve
much of the credit.
The fraternity all-stars are
John Robinson and Allen
Oakes of Sigma Nu, Larry
Mosley of Kappa Alpha, David
Jeffers of Phi Gamma Delta,
and OttoGaylord of Delta Chi.
Gaylord is the only repeater
from last year.
The second team includes

Pete McKenzie (SN), John
Caruthers(PGD),Bob Coleman
(KA), and Mike Nix (TKE),
made honorable mention.
INDEPENDENT SURPRISE
The biggest surprise of the
entire basketball season occur­red
in the independent cham­pionship.
All the so called
big-name teams-the teams
with the varsity athletes, the
teams with the great ex-junior
college players, the teams
with the 6-6 and 6-7 boys-all
these teams knocked each
other out of contention one by
Mat men capture SEIWA tourney
for 20th time in 21 years
Auburn's wrestling team
won the Southeastern Inter-collegiant
Wrestling tourna­ment
for the 20th season on
Mar. 2. The Tiger matmen
climaxed a 10-1 season by
scoring 108 points to sec­ond
place Georgia Tech's
63, to capture the 21st
SEIWA championship.
Coach "Swede" Umbach,
the winningest wrestling caoch
in the nation with a 181-22-5
record, said after the tourna­ment
that he was "exception­ally
pleased with the team's
performance." This year's
team lost only to Virginia
By JOE LEHMAN
Tech, 21-16, and then won
ten straight dual meets.
- FOUR VICTORS
Out of eleven individual
weight classes Auburn grap-plers
won four championships,
three second places and four
thirds. With only two members
of the 1968 championship
team graduating Umbach is
looking forward to his "best
team ever'' next year.
Bill McKeand, the team
captain and one of two seniors
on the varsity, led the cham­pionship
parade at the tourney
by winning the 115-pound
class. McKeand finished the
season with 16 victories and
no losses.
Larry Szutenbach, the other
senior on the varsity, won the
160-pound class while junior
Eddie Dyer, 167, and sopho­more
Tom Gambill, 191, also
won individual championships.
VOSS COMES CLOSE
Freshman Jim Voss claimed
second place in the 130-pound
class. Other second place
finishers were Del Alley,
123-pound sophomore, and
Mark Stern, a 145-pound junior.
Placing third in the tour­nament
were juniors Dewitt
Starnes, 152, Chuck Weiss,
177, and Terry Br en nan,
heavyweight. John Butcher,
a 137-pound sophomore, also
finished third.

one and then an unknown quin­tet
came along and beat the
champion of all the big-name
teams. The team-Division
P-2 of Mag Dorms-more com­monly
known as the P-2 Pis­tons.
They have two players
who stand 5-9, (Don Johnson
and Gary Barker), two who are
5-11, (Stewart Wagner and
Donnie Boone), and their cen­ter,
Ken Gilbert, is 6-3.
Determining the team that
the Pistons had to beat was
a pretty big job, but Section
Five ended up in that posi­tion.
The ir greatest moment
came when they beat the high­ly
publicized Rebels by "Hie
point.
As of this writing the fra­ternity-
independent game has
not been played, but whoever
wins, Sigma Nu or Division
P-2, it will be a moral vic­tory
for Mag Dorm and all the
boys who participate in the

(Continued on Page 8)
The Auburn track team
heads south to the Gaines­ville,
Fla., and the Florida
Relays on Saturday in what
may be a "iwarmup" in more
ways than one.
"The main purpose of the
relays is to give track teams
a chance to get ready for the
coming season," said Auburn
Coach Mel Rosen. "There is
no team championship award­ed,
so we'll be going for as
many individual places as we
can. And the relays will serve
as a' warmup' for the season."
FIRST MEET
Auburn starts its 1968 out­door
season Apr. 6 with a
dual meet against Florida
State in Tallahassee.
Rosen said that his team
has had trouble preparing for
the relays due to the cold
weather. Last Saturday's time
trials were cancelled as freez­ing
temperatures made work­outs
impractical.
Entered in the relays are
all the Southeastern Confer­ence
schools with the except­ion
of'Louisiana State, most
of the Atlantic Coast Confer­ence
teams, and Yale and
skeleton teams from other Ivy
League colleges.
BEST CHANCE
Rosen says his 440-yard
relay team of Donnie Fuller,
Joe Bush, Robert Maxwell and
Alvin 3resler should have the
best chance of placing in the
relays.
Bresler is a freshmen who
was a sensation as a high
hurdler during the indoor sea­son.
He finished second to
Tennessee's Richmond Flo­wers
in the SEC indoor champ­ionship
and was one of three
Tigers to compete in the Na­tional
Collegiate Athletic
Association Indoor Track
Championships, which were
held in Detroit Mar. 15-16.
Mickey Jones and Jack
Marsh, both triple jumper
broad jumpers .accompanied
Bresler. *
DISAPPOINTMENTS
"I was kind of disappointed
in their performances," said
Rosen. "But I think the ex­perience
was good for us. We
didn't place, but last year
Flowers went up there and
didn't place and this year he
won the high hurdles.
"Bresler finished fourth in
his heat in the highs with a
7.5. He ran a 7.3 in the SEC
meet and would have been
close to the finals in Detroit
with that.
"Jones was 11th in the
triple jump and Marsh was
14th. Marsh had a ninth in the
broad jump, and Jones was
11th, but they both jumped
well enough in the SEC meet
to place in the finals in Det
roit."
THIRD IN SEC
Auburn finished a strong
third in the SEC meet, held in
Montgomery's Garret Coliseum
Mar. 1-2. Florida edged the
Tigers for second place by
one point, 28-27. Tennessee
scored 75 points to win the
meet. Alabama finished with
ten.
Outstanding performers for
the Tigers were Jones, who
scored a first in the triple
jump and a third in the broad
jump; Marsh, who earned a
second in the broad jump and
a third in the triple; and Bres­ler,
who performed well in the
highs.
AFTER TENNESSEE
Rosen looks to SEC champ
Tennessee to lead the pack in
outdoor track once again this
year. Auburn, Florida, Ala­bama,
and LSU should be the
main teams trying to dethrone
Tennessee, according to
Rosen.
"We should be strong in the
high hurdles with Bresler, the
weight events with Barry Er-win,
the broad a,nd triple
jumps, and the distances with
John Kipp, Vic Kelley, and
Werner Beirsdoerfer," said
Rosen. "Donnie Fuller is the
key to our sprint corps and
seems to have recovered from
a pulled hamstring muscle
which has bothered him all
winter. Our weakest events
are the high jump and the
javelin."
SEC VICTORIES
Three Auburn basketball
teams tied the record for most
conference games won. The
1959, 1960, and 1967 teams
each won 12 conference
games.

Earl Nance is a freshman. He started against South
Alabama, pitched seven innings, giving up two runs and
taking the loss.
"He had a lot of poise out there," said Nix. "He had
more poise than some of the juniors on this team. He's
going to be a good one."
Nix feels the pitching has been good, and that it will
get better as the personnel gain experience.
Cutting down on the strikeouts is also a must. Nix
likes to put pressure on the other team by keeping the
ball in action, and you can't do that walking back to the
dugout.
"We're supposed to be a hitting team," says Nix.
"We should have eight men in the lineup who can get a
piece of the ball and never let up on the opposition. And
when Simmons is in there, we should have nine men who
can sting you."
The guts of the Tiger infield was torn out last year
when shortstop Scotty Long and second baseman Pete
McKenzie departed.
Called in to plug the gap were shortstop John Shafer,
a red-shirt last year, and second baseman Greg Golden,
the 1967 all-SEC third baseman. Shafer won the job in a
hot contest with football quarterback Larry Blakeney.
Roy of hope
Golden reinjured a bad knee Saturday, and it's not
known as yet how long he will be out of action. Losing
Golden would definitely put a crimp in Auburn's title
plans. A ray of hope presented itself Saturday, however,
in the form of freshman infielder Russ Walker. Subbing
for Golden in his first ball game in a tense situation,
Walker did a fine job, going one-for-two and throwing
out a Florida baserunner who was trying to stretch a
double into a triple.
"Walker's a good kid," said Nix. "He has a flamboyant
playing style, and he has the desire and animation a
ballplayer needs."
Nix calls the infield erratic, but says it will come
around with a little more practice, especially in the
throwing department.
Nix was the District Three "Coach of the Year" last
year, an honor which he says is earned by winning the
District. He feels he can win the District again, pro­viding
he wins the Conference.
"We've got more depth than the rest of the teams in
the District," he says. "Last year I felt like we had 14
winning ballplayers. This year I feel like we have 17
players of about the same caliber. Trouble is, I don't
know yet whether the 17 are mediocre players or winners.
I keep thinking that I'm going to find out that they're
winners."
If Nix is right chances are the T i g e r s will be in
Gastonia, N.C.in late May again, battling for the District
Three championship.

Golfers finish second

The Auburn golf team be­gan
its season successfully
finishing second in the
Buckhaults I n v i t a t i o n al
Tournament at Spring Hill
College of Mobile last
weekend.
The tournament, won by
Memphis State, included eight
other teams from all over the
South.
Coach Sonny Dragoin de­scribed
the team by saying,
"We're going to have a 'fair'
team. We got off to a real
good start in our first tour­nament."

Southeastern Conference
Eastern Division title de­fense.
Auburn has two mOre
games scheduled against the
Gators, both in Gainesville
Apr. 5-6.
"I don't know how the
F l o r i d a boys feel about
playing in Auburn, but I know
I hate to play down there,"
said Johnny. "The fans are
really rough down there."
LAST YEAR
Last season the Tigers
split with the Gators early in
the year in Gainesville, then
won the division by sweeping
a late season two-game series
from Florida in Plainsman
Park.
The series has become a
war of nerves, as well as hit­ting
and pitching.
Saturday the war was heigh­tened
somewhat by the fact
that Auburn entered the double-header
ranked ninth in the
nation, and F l o r i d a was
spotted in sixth place. The
Gators were 5-2 going into
the games, which were ori­ginally
scheduled for Friday
and Saturday, but had to be
played as a twin bill after a
rainout on Friday.
"From the amount of yelling
coming from the Florida dug­out,'•'
said Straiton," I think
they had two guys assigned
to ride me alone.
"We didn't do much of that
Saturday. Coach Paul Nix told
us to keep the pressure on
them and they'd crack. And
that's what finally happened.
BATS DID TALKING
"Coach Nix told us to let
our bats do our talking for us.
I guess that's what we did."
Auburn's bats talked to the
tune of six hits in the second
game, four of them coming after
six innings of play.
Sophomore Gene Collins

eighth inning for Auburn,
shutting out the Gators.

• \ IFC crackdown on fire hazards maybe near
previous fire inspection re­ports.
The fire department has not
determined the cause of the1
blaze, but Phil Sadler, Delt
president, said the fire "ap­parently
started in the wiring,
of the attic."
In November, 1967, the
IPC's Fire Prevention Com­mittee
had notified the Delta
Tau Deltas and the 24 other
fraternities which were in
violation of the fire standards
and warned, "unless these
deficiencies are corrected by
the next inspection date, you!
are subject to fines not ex­ceeding
$500."
However, no fraternity was'
fined. No fine has been levied,
since the inspections were*
begun in earnest following!
the SAE house fire fatality
in the winter of 1966.
"We've never been strict;
about fining fraternities be­cause
of the considerable,
cost involved in implement­ing
some of the investigators'
suggestions, such as rewiring
and house additions," said
Dr. Edward Taylor, who has
been advisor to fraternities
for one year. "As long as a
fraternity is in the process of
trying to correct the defici-

Miss Rhodes has performed

Tulane and University of
Southern Mississippi.

encies, we have not fined
them," he added.
However it was minor vio­lations
that concerned Ellis
Mitchell, Auburn fire chief.
"Living habits and general
housekeeping are the main
problems, and some sug­gestions
on these matters have
been on every inspection
since 1966," he said.
"University housing is
generally safer than frater­nity
and boarding houses,
continued Mitchell, "but it
doesn't make any difference
how old a house is, just how
well it is kept clean and safe,
Some of the older fraternity
houses are cleaner and safer
than the newer ones."
Mitchell said some minor
improvements were evident
each inspection, but added,
"All of the needed precautions
will not be made until some­one
or somebody forces the
people involved to make the
improvements."
Dr. Taylor and Sammy La-cey,
chairman of the IFC Fire
Safety Committee, said that
stiff fines, ranging from $200
to $500 would be levied this
quarter against fraternities
who did not meet minimum
safety standards.
"One fraternity had a water
battle with their fire extin­guishers,
last quarter and
didn't bother to refill them,"
said Lacey. "Such negligence
on the part of fraternities will
not be tolerated."
Chief Ellis said most fires
in Greek living quarters on
university campuses are
eaused by general neglect and
violations in e l e c t r i c al
safety rules on wiring and
plug safety.
Ellis noted an increase in
fire hydrants on campus since
he suggested additional plugs
following difficulty in getting
sufficient water to fight the
SAE fire. f
"And we've got enough
work in this town for three
fire inspectors," said Ellis,
"but don't have a single in­spector."
Millard Dawson, campus
security chief and a member
of the fire inspection team,
said he had seen improvement
in safety conditions.
Dawson said the Delta Tau
Delta members "worked hard
on an escape plan when their
house caught fire and their
efforts helped the situation a
great deal. They deserve a
lot of the credit since no one
was injured in the fire.

Senate considering NSA, Honor Code
The Student Senate, in
its first meeting of the
quarter Monday night, will
discuss University member­ship
in the National Student
Association, the Human
Rights Forum and the Aca­demic
Honor Code. These
topics are a carry-over from
last quarter's work.
i The Senate will discuss
Whether the decision for
membership in the NSA
.should be submitted to the
student body in spring elect­ions
or decided by a vote
within the Senate.
NSA, the largest student
association in the country,
sponsors a yearly conference
and localized programs for
college campuses. Its con­ferences
in the past have
passed anti-draft, anti-Viet­nam
and pro-Black Power re­solutions.
There are provi­sions
whereby local campuses
can vote against such resolu­tions
after they are passed.
RIGHTS FORUM
In its final meeting of last
quarter, the Senate tabled a
decision on a charter for the
Human Rights Forum. The
Forum has been on probation­ary
status for two years. An­thony
Lee, president of the
organization, has stated he
feels the club's record is
sufficient to merit a charter,
and the club needs a charter
to continue its activities.
CHARTER
Mike Benson, superinten­dent
of organizations, ap­peared
before the Senate to
contest granting the charter
on the grounds that the orga1
nization has not fulfilled its
stated purpose of bringing
speakers to the Auburn cam­pus.
The Forum has had two
speakers this year-student
Gary Dickey and Albert
Turner, state director of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference.
Three other organizations
were introduced to the Senate.

these three organizations was

provisions.
CODE PROPOSED
A student-faculty study
committee has been appointed
to consider the proposed Aca­demic
Honor Code. The Stu­dent
Senate has provisionally
passed the code last quarter
specifying that the code be
studied by a student-faculty-administration
committee be­fore
it is presented to the
student body in the spring
elections.
Faculty and administration
appointed by Pres. Harry M.
Philpottare: Dr. Taylor Little­ton,
assistant dean of the
graduate school; Prof. Edward
Bagwell, assistant professor
of business; Miss Katharine
Cater, dean of women; and Dr.
C.W. Hartwig, acting head of
the department of sociology.
Student members approved
by the Senate are Betty

Dr. James E. Lowry, recom­mended
that the bus service
not be subsidized. This re­commendation
was signed by
Dr. Philpott between quarters.
William Whatley, owner and
operator of the company, has
the final decision as to
whether the service will be
continued without the subsidy.
"The bus service will be
available this quarter," said
Whatley, "but I have yet to
make the final decision. It will
mainly depend on the student
participation this quarter," he
continued.
Information was sent by
Whatley to the committee last
quarter indicating an operation
loss of approximately $3,000
a quarter.
The committee recommended
not to subsidize because they
felt the service benefited only
a small per cent of the stu­dents
enrolled at the univer­sity.
Most of the students that
took advantage of the service
were women in the South
Women's Dormitory area, ac­cording
to Whatley.
"We did not feel that this
small per cent jusitfied the
spending of university funds,"
said Dr. Lowry, a professor of
electrical engineering. "If a
service just benefits some,
then they should pay," conti­nued
Dr. Lowry, "but on the
other hand, if most of the stu­dents
had gained, then that
would have been another
stay."

to fulfill the needs of
business and industry in an
increasingly more complex
society. "It may be that there
will be a new way to orga­nize,"
he said. "Most courses
in business education are still

Contact lenses can be
heaven . . . or hell. They
may be a wonder of
modern science but just
the slightest bit of dirt
under the lens can make
them unbearable. In
order to keep your con­tact
lenses as comforta­ble
and convenient as
they were designed to be,
you have to take care of
them.
Until now you needed
two or more separate
solutions to properly pre*
pare and maintain your
contacts. You would
think that caring for con­tacts
should be as con­venient
as wearing them.
It can be with Lensine.
Lensine is the one lens
solution for complete
contact lens care. Just a
drop or two, before you
insert your lens,coats and
lubricates it allowing the
lens to float more freely
in the eye's fluids. That's
because Lensine is an
"isotonic" solution,
which means that it
blends with the natural
fluids of the eye.
Cleaning your contacts
with Lensine retards the
buildup of foreign de­posits
on the lenses. And
soaking your contacts in
Lensine between wear­ing
periods assures you
of proper lens hygiene.
You get a free soaking
case on the bottom of
every bottle of Lensine.
It has been demonstrated
that improper storage be-tween
wearings may
result in the growth of
bacteria on the lenses.
This is a sure cause of
eye irritation and in some
cases can endanger your
vision. Bacteria cannot
grow in Lensine which is
sterile, self-sanitizing,
and antiseptic.
Let your contacts be the
convenience they were
meant to be. Get some

The Student Senate has
requested, in the form of a
resolution, that the Lee
County Board of Realtors:
use their influence to en­courage
the members of that
organization to cease re­quiring
leases longer than
one quarter on student
housing.
Presently leases of nine
months or a year are required
in Magnolia Dormitories and
most of the apartment com­plexes
surrounding the cam­pus.
A joint Interfraternity Coun­cil-
Student Government Hous­ing
Committee was formed fall
quarter to investigate the sit­uation.
The resolution, writ­ten
from the findings of this
committee and accepted un­animously
by the Senate,
states that leases longer than
one quarter on student housing
decreases competition among
realtors, often- resulting in
poor upkeep of facilities.
The resolution also points
out that the present leasing
policy has at times forced
students to live with incom­patible
roommates and in
noisy locations which are not
beneficial to the students'
academic progress. Often stu­dents
do not have the time or
knowledge to properly investi­gate
prospective housing.

described above did not occur,
it could happen at least once
this quarter if the past is any
indication.
State Trooper Clyde Wilson
reports an increase in traffic
accidents can be expected as
the weather begins to warm
and students go home and to
the beaches.
"This is the worst time of
the year,'' says Wilson,'' since
people like to travel in the
spring.
"Over 40 people have been
killed in Lee County alone
within the past two years,"
Wilson continues, "and we
continue to urge everyone to
drive with the utmost caution.
"The Highway Patrol is
going to place special empha­sis
on patrolling the roads
which have had the most acci­dents,"
says Wilson.
"It's rough investigating
any automobile accident,"
says Wilson, "but it is es­pecially
hard when you have
to investigate one in which a
young person has been seri­ously
injured or killed."
Wilson listed the five major
causes of traffic accidents as
speeding, driving on the wrong
side of the road, failure to
yield right-of-way, and follow­ing
another car too closely.
