draft talks
postponed
Plans for a proposed
military draft seminar have
been "postponed at least
until spring quarter."
Jimmy Fuller, student
body vice-president and
Student Senate president,
said that schedule conflicts
and lack of available speakers
have caused the change.
Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
director of the Selective Ser­vice
System, was invited to
speak to the Student Senate-sponsored
program. A letter
stating his refusal to parti­cipate
was received this week
by Van Treadaway, Jr., chair­man
of the proposed seminar.
"We had not officially an­nounced
the seminar since we
had not received word from
General Hershey," Fuller
said. "After receiving his
negative response, we decided
to delay our program."
"Since the seminar would
have been the same week as
the Auburn Conference on

All branch plans materialize
Montgomery sites
narrowed to two
By BOB SIMS
The site for the Montgo­mery
branch of Auburn Uni­versity
is expected to be
announced within the next
week as another major step
toward implementation of
the new facilities next fall.
.Two 500-acre t r a c t s of

Fire dept. improved by city,
still lacks rescue equipment
Seven new fire hydrants
are being installed on fra­ternity
row as part of the
Auburn City Fire Depart­ment's
effort to improve its
fire fighting ability.
Since the Sigma Alpha Ep-silon
fraternity dorm fire in
February of 1966, S38.000
worth of fire equipment im­provements
have been made,
according to Ellis Mitchell,
city fire chief. An inadequate
water supply hindered the
fighting of the SAE fire that
killed one student.
NEW TRUCK AND TOOLS
Mitchell said that the fire
department has replaced an
old fire truck with a newer
model and has purchased fire
hose and various tools valued
at $20,000. The new fire hose
is three inches in diameter
and is capable of moving a
larger volume of water faster
than the old ll/2-inch hose.
Mitchell commented that 67
new fire hydrants have been
installed since February, 1966
by the Water Works Board on
recommendation of the city
council. There are now 267
fire hydrants in the city.
The Water Works Board also
supervised the installation of
820,000 worth of 12-inch water
mains and cross mains. "This
will enable fire fighters to
pull a greater volume of water
to any particular hydrant when
it is needed," said Mitchell.
The fire department present­ly
has three pumper trucks,
each of which is able to pump
750 gallons of water per min­ute.
The department is manned
by 12 full-time firemen and a
fire chief, who work in day
and night shifts of six men.
There are also 13 volunteer
firemen.
INADEQUATELY EQUIPPED
Despite these expenditures
and improvements, the depart­ment
still remains inadequate­ly
equipped for rescue opera­tions
and for fighting fires
which might break out in high-rise
student housing, such as
the south women's dorm com­plex,
according to Mitchell.
"We can get about 30 feet
off the ground for rescue work
with our present equipment,".
(See Page 9, Column 7)
site and the McLemore site
are under final consideration
by the local chamber of com­merce
committee and univer­sity
officials.
The McLemore site, priced
at anestimated$750,000, and
the Hooper site, priced at an
estimated 8600,000, were se­lected
from a field of 19 such
sites considered by the com­mittee.
(See map, page 9)
"Both of the sites being
considered would be excellent
locations, and both fulfill our
main criteria for selection:
overall cost, accessability to
Auburn and our present faci­lities,
soil condition, relative
noise and sewage-water ac­cess,"
said a university
spokesman.
The McLemore property is
northeast of the intersection
of Bell Road and 1-85 in East
Montgomery.
The Hooper property, is lo­cated
in South Montgomery
near the i n t e r s e c t i o n of
Teague Road and U.S. 31
(Mobile Highway).
"Final building and cons­truction
plans for the facility
will be made after the site
selection, and plans are al­ready
in progress for imple­menting
a freshman curriculum
for the fall of 1968," said the
spokesman.
"Also an announcement of
a vice-president for Montgom­ery
Affairs and selection of
local architect for the build-ingswillbe
made soon," said.
the spokesman.
Initial funds for the final
site purchase will be furnish­ed
by local city and county
governments with additional
donations ta come from the
Montgomery Area Chamber of
Commerce and the Men of
Montgomery.
Until construction of the
new site is completed offices
will be centered at the old

Tomeh, who was promin­ent
in televised United
Nations debate' during the
Middle East crisis last sum­mer,
has termed as "illegal"
and "immoral" the declaration
by which a Jewish nation was
formed in 1947.
Arnon, a former Israeli am­bassador
to Ghana, says
Israel has not been allowed
to enjoy the soverign equality
guaranteed all nation members
of the United Nations.
The topic of the conference,
to be in the Student Activi­ties

the "International Year for

"UNPROVOKED ATTACK"
Speaking to the United

Over half in engineering
Writing deficiencies examined
Of the 112 students receiving a "com­position
condition" ("cc") notation on
their grade sheet last fall, about 70 per
cent reported for the diagnostic examina­tion
administered by the English Profici­ency
Committee.
In excess of half of those designated
"cc" were in the engineering curriculum,
while the remainder were registered in
six other schools. Only 44 of about 70
who reported failed to pass the special
examination. A number of those who re­ceived
the notation are co-oping this
quarter and thus unable to take the exam.
GRADE UNAFFECTED
Under this system a professor in any
course has the authority to designate a
student's written work as deficient or
below the minimum college English gram­mar
standards.
Although the student involved cannot
graduate until the notation is cleared, the
"cc" in no way affects the grade or cre­dit
in the course in which he received the
notation. The only courses to which the
"cc" does not apply are those in the
freshman English curriculum.
The mark is automatically erased from
the individual's permanent record by his
making a satisfactory grade on a special
diagnostic examination. If the committee
staff is not favorably impressed by the
quality of his composition, he is required
to attend a writing laboratory in Broun
Hall during any quarter before graduation.
THREE THEMES
At a convenient hour each week the
student must discuss three consecutive
themes regarded as acceptable by the
laboratory standards. He is then relieved
of any further obligations.
Errors are possible and even probable,
according to Dr. James Hool, chairman of
the committee. This is evidenced when
an above average student with "B's" in
English 101 and 102 was a prospect for
the "cc" laboratories in the judgment of
a professor. The mistake was realized
when the boy made an acceptable grade
on his preliminary examination. Since the
average grade was "D-plus" in the
courses in which "cc's" were bestowed,
this case is looked upon by Dr. Hool as
being an exception.
"FAVOR TO STUDENTS"
"The ultimate result of the English
composition program will be to enforce
good habits in written work on a campus-wide
basis," said Dr. Hool.
Francis Ginanni, one of the four Eng­lish
laboratory instructors and a member
of the committee, maintained that "as a
favor to the student" efforts are continu­ing
to enlist the assistance of every pro­fessor
in evaluating students.
Hool says the professor who awards
the '.'cc" condition is not passing judg­ment
on the student. "This is simply one
of the factors that indicate whether re­medial
work would be beneficial. However,
soma- instructors are hesitant to apply the
program in a trial run, as only 20 profes­sors
submitted names," Hool continued.
John Dunkleburger, another committee
member and associate professor of agri­cultural
economics, said, "The motiva­tion
is there for the student to remove the
"cc" from his report, because it must be
cleared before he can graduate." He add­ed
that it is apparent to most of those he
assists that they are overdue for a re­fresher
course and are embarrassed by it.
BEGUN IN SEPTEMBER
The "cc" program, under consideration
for the past ten years, became a reality
in September, 1967, when the English
Proficiency Committee was organized to
oversee the project. The machinery of the
plan is satisfactory at present, but Dr.
Hool added that "there are still some
bugs we have to iron out, and it could
be improved."

to compete in elimination
rounds. There were 172 teams
participating in the tourna­ment.
Auburn lost to Northwestern,
rated the top team in the tour­nament,
and thus was eli­minated
from competition after
winning six rounds.
Miss Page and Fisher also
official University vehicle,
funds could be diversified to

greater importance, rather

Judge says speakers can't be banned
By LYN SCARBROUGH

A university, in most cases, has "no constitutional
right" to ban a speaker from appearing on campus be­cause
of his subject, Federal Judge John C. Godbold

conference Monday.
However, the Fifth Circuit
judge said that a speaker's
rights do not extend to ad­vocating
treason or the over­throw
of government.
Joining Judge Godbold on
the program were Birmingham
News editorial page editor
James Jacobson and Birming­ham
News staff photographer
Tony Falletta, who have re­cently
returned from an
around-the-world assignment.
WAR "INEVITABLE"
Jacobson said that renewed
war in the Middle East is
"inevitable" unless some­thing
very basic is done to
change relations between
Israel and the Arab countries.
He also said immediate with­drawal
of United States forces
from South Vietnam would be
"folly" and further escalation
out of reason would be
"equally stupid."
The program sponsored by
the Auburn Conference on
International Affairs, was in
the Union Ballroom. The Bir­mingham
News team was co-sponsored
by the Auburn
Press Club.
Judge Godbold said practi­cal
application of a university-enforced
speaker ban measure
might be different from con­stitutional
right involved,
since the legislature both
passes laws and allocates
money to state-supported insti­tutions.
NOT "ABSOLUTE" RIGHT
He said that although
peaceable assembly and peti­tion
of grievances are guar­anteed
by the constitution,
it is not an "absolute" right.
"A city has the right to
keep traffic moving and public
entrances clear," he said.
"But a parade permit desired
on reasonable grounds, must
be easy to obtain. The city
must 'protect; tne marcher's
rights."
"Civil disobedience can g o a i s# take many forms," he said.,r
"I do not recognize any right
for anyone to break a law or
take law into his own hands.
However, what we often de­fine
as civil disobedience
may really be exercise of
proper rights."
Judge Godbold said laws
should be applicable to the
time and circumstance. He
said fear "need not be in
change in laws, but in fear
laws will cease to change to
meet the needs of time."
Godbold, a former editor
of the Auburn Plainsman,
received his law degree from
Harvard University. He was
appointed to his present post
in 1966 and previously
practiced law in Montgomery.
Jacobson said that the most
important long range human
rights problem in the Middle
East is war itself. He said
war will probably not be re­newed
soon, but that unless
there is mutual recognition
between Israel and Arab
nations, conflict will reoccur.
He said Arab refugees have
long posed one of the most
pressing problems in the Mid­dle
East, and the problem has
been increased by the latest
war.
Referring to the Vietnam
war, Jacobson said Amen
cans should not look for an
"immediate" solution whether
it be "go for broke victory"
or a new isolationism.
U.S. ACHIEVEMENTS
"We can be proud of what
our country has accom­plished,"
he said. "We have
made mistakes, but we should
not apologize. We should not
set up as our policy an anti-
Communist, pro-west govern­ment
in every country. If our
limited aims and objectives
are achieved, it will be a
gain for human rights.''
Jacobson said unless our
country achieves its aims in
Vietnam, other Southeast
Asian nations will have to
"reevaluate their ' future
policies." He said United
States involvement is "buying
time" for these countries to
develop political, social and
ecomonic stability.
He said that strong resolve
by the United States people
and a stable Vietnam govern­ment
will be necessary for
this country to achieve its

ACOIA preview: Hatfield
Senator pushes
peace campaign
By JIMMY REEDER
"If Ho (Chi Minh) met
our terms in order to get
negotiations going," says
Sen. Mark Hatfield, "he
would have nothing left to
negotiate about."
This is one of the con­troversial
views of the Ore­gon
Republican who will ad­dress
the Auburn Conference
on International Affairs, Feb.
21-23. Hatfield also urged a
halt in bombing raids over
North Vietnam along with
more "realistic" conditions
for starting peace talks.
At the time of Hatfield's
statement President Johnson
had promised to halt the
bombing and begin peace
talks as soon as the North
Vietnamese stopped their in­filtration
of the South. Hat­field
called these conditions
"unrealistic."
"If Ho were to comply, he
would face two alternatives:
he could abandon his troops
and stop sending them food,
medicine and military sup­plies.
These forces would
soon be destroyed," Hatfield
said. "Or he could recall his
troops to the North, constitu­ting
a withdrawal from the
conflict."
In the last few days the
Administration's position has
been stated in such a way
that on one point it appears
closer to Hatfield's stand. A
State Department spokesman
said that North Vietnam could
continue the present level of
infiltration during peace talks
and after a halt in U.S. bomb­ing.
Although Hatfield has been
widely criticized for his dov­ish
views, he has made them
known in the face of heavy
opposition. At the 1966
National Governor's Confe­rence,
only Hatfield, then
Oregon's governor, refused
to support the President's
war policies. In 1965 only

'Dangerous' false alarms
plague fire department
By JAMES THORNTON
"They call just to get you to r u n . . ."
Thus spoke Auburn Fire Chief Ellis Mitchell concern
ing a number of false alarm phone calls, trash can and
other mischievious fires that have plagued the Auburn
Fire Department since the
beginning of fall quarter.
"Since October we have
answered 18 calls on trash
can and similar fires and
nine false alarms," said
Mitchell. "Our files for the
two years show that these
calls increase during quar­ters
and drop between
quarters."
ALARMS ANSWERED
Mitchell said all alarms
must be answered. "Nine out
of ten times we can tell if it's
a false alarm call because
the person won't give his
name and telephone number.
Many times they will get
their streets and street num­bers
mixed up," said the fire
chief.
' 'Rarely can we catch any­one
who calls in a false
alarm or deliberately sets a
fire," he continued. "How­ever,
on Dec. 12 two students
who threw a burning sheet out
of a window at Noble Hall were
caught and turned over to the
disciplinary committee."
In another incident last
quarter someone set fire to the
shrubbery at Magnolia Dorm an(f™ $~10o fine plus court
on Nov. 8. Earlier, in Octo- t
r
ber, someone set a tire on
fire in front of the SAE house.
NIGHT CALLS
"We receive most of the
calls at night between 8 p.m.
and 4 a.m., and we usually
have a crowd waiting for
us when we get there," com­mented
Mitchell.
"At times we have an­swered
a call and found there
was no fire to fight, but we
wound up fighting the stu­dents.
We answered a call
td a fraternity house one year
where the truck was stripped'
of equipment by the students.
"Not only do these false
alarm calls cost the tax
payers money, but they are
extremely dangerous. There
is a chance of the truck
having a wreck or a fire
breaking out in town while
we're on a wild goose chase.
Apparently some people do
not realize this. These calls
really hurt us," Mitchell
stated.
Calling in a false alarm to
the fire department is punish­able
by a jail sentence of up
to six months of hard labor
ernor George Romney voted
against a resolution urging
an escalation of the war.
HATFIELD'S VIEWS
"Terroristic or indiscrimi­nate
bombing merits the gene­ral
condemnation of humanity,
for it must involve deaths of
noncombatant men, women
and children," says Hatfield
in calling for a bomb halt.
"It cannot be justified as an
instrument for the fulfillment
of U.S. foreign policy."
Hatfield has visited South­east
Asia after a tour of mili­tary
service in World War II.
He was impressed by the con­trast
between the shining
French palace high on a hill
and the squalid peasant huts
in the valley below.
BLEAK MEMORIES
"I remember the dead bod­ies
alongside the road, dead
because of starvation. I re­member
the women digging
into the earth for grains of
rice that sifted through the
Army's supply sacks," he
later wrote.
"I can't forget my feeling
that food-food-should be our
weapon, not military might
alone," This concern for the
suffering caused by war has
stayed with him even until
now.
"We have contributed to
the erosion of the value of
man," Hatfield says. "We
hear the military talking about
the kill ratio-4 it was better
today.' This sounds like the
game commission talking
about animals."
After the 1966 vote sup­ported
President Johnson's
war policies, 47-1, Hatfield
said, "Governor after gover­nor
came up to me privatley
and prasied me and said they
would have liked to vote as I
did but felt that they could­n't."
"If you believe something,
vpuslioujd standby it," said
Hatfield. "If the heat's on,
it makes^ loyalty^ a position,
all the more important." ,

By LYN MOBLEY
Unless the university
subsidizes the Tiger Bus
Company, the service will
either have to be drastic­ally
reduced or stopped
completely, according to
William Whatley, private
owner and operator of the
company.
I Whatley informed the uni­versity
last August that the
company is losing money on
the campus operated . buses
and cannot afford to con­tinue
the service without
university subsidy.
LOSING MONEY
"The bus service lost 8200
during last fall quarter
alone," said Whatley. " t he
route could be shortened by
discontinuing service to frat­ernity
row and the married stu­dents'
apartments. I hope the
university will not force me to
choose one of these alter­natives
because, being a
former student, I realize the
need of a bus service on cam­pus,"
he continued.
Started in May, 1966, the
Tiger Buss Company now
operates three buses on cam­pus.
This quarter the buses
are transporting approximately
1,300 students a day. Of this
number, 90 percent are women
in the South Women's Dormi­tory
area, according to What­ley.
HELPS TRAFFIC PROBLEM
"The present bus system
has definitely helped the
traffic problem, but more im­portant
, it has provided trans­portation
for the student who
cannot drive on campus any­way,
such as the women from
the South Women's Dormit­ories,"
said Linwood E.
Funchess.director of buildings
and grounds.
A sub-committee of the
Traffic Control Committee is
investigating the need for a
university-owned bus service
as well as the proposal by
Whatley. The committee is
headed by Dr. James E.
Lowery, professor of electri­cal
engineering.
Questions confronting the
committee are: Does the
University want a bus ser-r
vice? If so, what type of serf
vice is needed, and how does
the University plan to finance
it? If the University does
start its own service, a bus
building will have to be built,
mechanics and drivers hired
and payed, and buses bought.
"The committee has written
to other universities and col­leges
for information about
their bus services, but most
of the schools Written do not
have a service," said Lowery.
SUBSIDY PROPOSAL
"The committee is also
considering ' Whatley's pro­posal.
If the University will
pay the bus company a certain
amount an hour per bus,
approximately $8, the ser­vice
can be continued. Then
the student would only have
to pay a token fare of five
cents to avoid overcrowding
of the buses," said Whatley.
"There is a definite need
on the campus for some type
of bus service, whether it be
privately owned or University
owned. The parking problem
on campus is becoming more
acute as the enrollment in-1
creases. For instance, about
200 cars a day come onto the'
campus from fraternity row;
and the married students
apartments. There needs to be
some system to take the cars*
off campus," said Millard1
Dawson, chief of campus*
security.

This time, Hershey's wrong
Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hers hey,
director of the selective service,
is not noted for his tact; and we
have, in the past, applauded his ver­bal
directness in countering anti-draft,
anti-military sentiment in this
•country.
However, we were disappointed in
the General's letter to the Auburn
Student Body declining an invitation
to speak at a seminar on the draft
here this quarter. (See story page 1)
The fault lies not in the fact that
he declined, but rather in the reasons
he gave for declining. Had the general
said simply that he was too busy and
couldn't schedule the trip, for ex­ample,
then his answer would have
been accepted without comment. Such
an answer is plausible from a man in
his position.
However, the General chose rather
to take a verbal shot at the conference
planners which was neither courteous
nor justified. In his letter, the General
implied that the seminar planners
were trying to put him at a disadvan­tage.
Said he, "It is likely...that the
program would place me in the posi­tion
of defending obedience to the
law.... I have no desire to participate
in any program with an individual who
is likely to oppose the actions of his
government or to debate obedience to
the law..."
On the contrary, < the General had
not been asked to debate the other
person invited to participate in the
seminar, < Robert McAfee Brown, a
noted theologian who opposes the
Vietnam War on moral grounds. He had
merely been asked to speak on the
selective service system. It is highly
unlikely that he would have been at
a disadvantage in defending the draft
in this area where public sentiment
strongly favors American involve­ment
in Vietnam.;
The General simply jumped to the
wrong conclusions.
We regret the postponement of the
seminar and hope that the General's
refusal to appear will not result in
its cancellation altogether. Surely the
military could provide Auburn men
with qualified speakers who could as
accurately and thoroughly, > if not as
glamorously, describe selective ser­vice
procedure.
We look forward to revival of plans
for a similar program in the spring.
Success story: the debate team
The Auburn debate squad, under the
able direction of Coach Jim Vickrey,
has established itself as one of the
best in the nation. (See story page 1)
at the Mardi Gras Invitational Tourna­ment
at Tulane University to get into
the elimination rounds only to be
matched against the top-seeded team,
Northwestern University, in the first
elimination round. Only 16 teams out
of 172 made the elimination round at
Tulane and the achievement establish­ed
a new record for Auburn forensic s.
No other Auburn debate team has made
the elimination round in three conse­cutive
tournaments.
Vickrey has cited the team's need
for better transportation if they are to
be able to compete widely. We hope
the university will help. The debate
team is good for Auburn's image. We'd
like to see them traveling more.
The Academic Honor Code
We favor the adoption of a new Aca­demic
Honor Code at Auburn.
There may be some validity in the
argument that an honor system must
be backed up by a long-established
and strong campus tradition of aca­demic
honesty. However, we believe
I that the system proposed by Superin­tendent
of Student Welfare Bill Satter-field
would be better than the existing
system.
We will not dwell at length on the
particulars of the system, which the
student senate is now considering.
The details of the plan will, most
likely, be altered somewhat in the
compromise necessary to being ap­proved.
We favor this compromise as
the best insurance against any flaws
in the system.
Our primary concern is that the idea
behind the proposed system be esta­blished
at Auburn. A tradition must
be started before it can grow strong
and become effective. This change
would be a beginning.
However, we do believe that certain
parts of the proposed system are im­portant
and should, in essence, be
retained.
Under the present system, the stu­dent
may very possibly hear no defini­tion
of academic honor until he is
accused of cheating. We view this as
a major weakness.
The proposed system would require
each student to sign a pledge to up­hold
the Academic Honor Code as a
condition for admission. Further, one
function of the Academic Honesty
Board would be to inform students
and faculty of the provisions of the
code.
Thus, a basic problem of the old
system-communication-would be eli­minated.
Next, we believe that the graduated
scale of punishment- providing six
l e v e l s of punishment-is fair and
should be retained. We can foresee
instances where varying degrees of
punishment would be needed.
Last, but not least significant, we
believe that giving upperclass stu­dents
primary responsibility for en­forcing
the honor code through the
Academic Honesty Board will make the
proposed system more acceptable to
the student body-without impairing
strict, fair enforcement of the code's
provisions. Final approval of all Aca­demic
Honesty Board recommendations
would remain in the hands of the pre-sident-
as under the present system.
Thus, the growth of a tradition of
academic honor may be fostered among
the students.
The proposed change is merited.
Senior frustration
and leadership
By Brace Nichols
Samford clock imperiously bonged the
eleventh hour, interrupting talk about women,
politics, and professors-talk about the pleasant present. And,
reminded of the late hour, the few who had stayed to talk after
the staff meeting retired to studies and sleep.
So I was left alone in the late quietness of the office. The
echoes of four consecutive
days of frenzied activity were
fading; tomorrow's Plainsman
was rolling off the presses,
and whatever lay on the
pages-errors and all-was
rapidly becoming irrevocable.
But despite frequent sec­ond
thoughts about "tomor­row's
paper," I have come
to relish these in-between
hours alone: the brief lull
between Plainsman issues
when next week's paper is
still seven days away. During
this pause, a semblance of
peaceful normalcy returns to
existence, if only briefly; and
there is time for evaluation,
assessment, and assimila­tion.
This particular night, there
was also time for mastering
the stings of prematurely
emerging senior frustration,
prompted partly by a letter
from an alumnus one year
removed from Auburn.
"I'm sure that somewhere
beneath your flurry are ramb­ling
ideas about what you
plan to do next year," the
letter had begun. I had read
it earlier, but too hurriedly,
so I was reading it again.
And as he discussed my
future opportunities in the
letter, I became aware of a
resistance to the impending
future. I'm not yet ready to
talk about the future, at least
not immediately. The good
times of this year will end
too soon. For lack of time,
too many important things
will be left undone.
But the pressures are there.
Circumstances demand that
we, as students, move on to
the next station in life, even
if we haven't absorbed all
the value from the present
experience. And this is frus­trating.
But there are more signifi­cant
reasons for this frustra­tion.
Moving on is disturbing if
you've been in a position of
responsibility. You've master­ed
a task and, at the end of
the year, you must surrender
it to another person who will
learn the same lessons you
had to learn, and perhaps
make the same mistakes. If
only you could go again,
you'd do better. But there is
no second time around.
The frustration is particu­larly
acute when coupled
with the disturbing suspicion
that we are not making pro­gress
in the changeover. The
next senior class is likely to
be no more interested in pro­viding
leadership for student
government and student pub­lications
than our own has
been. And that's not enough.
Some persons with ability
genuinely don't have time.
Their course of study de­mands
most of their time and
energy.
But there are too many
others with real leadership
ability, and enough time to
work, who hang back from
the fray; and the university
community suffers when these
persons fail to make a posi­tive
contribution.
If each student leader were
going to be in a responsible
position for several years,
then we could successfully,
manage the problem provided
each brought one younger
student into the leadership
each year. But such is not
the case; there will, of
course, continue to be the
yearly turnover in student
leadership.
Whenever a capable, res­ponsible
person vacates a
position of leadership, there
are plenty of undesirable per­sons
around to fill the
vacuum . And once the ir­responsible
get into power,
the second time around for
the responsible person may
be a long time in coming.
So senior leaders must
take a special interest in
finding and cultivating good
leadership among underclass­men
if student government
is to continue to operate with
evennominalsuccess.lt isn't
getting any earlier.

A realistic approach
to Negro frustrations
By Joe Lehman
The Negro can no longer be ignored. He
is rightfully demanding his place as a citi­zen
in our society. He is not making an unfair demand; he
wants only the right to live-and let live-like any other Ameri­can.
However, since his emancipation from slavery, the Neg-r
o e s' desire to be treated jar Congress into action.
as an American citizen has
been frustrated. He has been
bottled up in the ghettoes of
our cities and trapped at the
bottom of our economic lad­der.
He composed the vast
bulk of the hard-core unem­ployed,
the people who after
years of neglect, years of
frustration, years of being
locked in poverty, set the
face of the nation afire last
summer and who will do so
again this summer if their
frustrations are not allevi­ated.
The hard-core unemployed
Negro is frustrated at his
slum surroundings, his rela­tive
poverty and the apathy
of his governing authorities
as well as the apathy of the
general public toward his
condition. These are the frus­trations
which must be re­lieved
if we are to avoid
future riots which black power
leaders are advocating.
Until now Johnson's ad­ministration
has been ineffec­tive
in alleviating these
frustrations, and the likeli­hood
of his administration
solving this crucial internal
problem by next summer is
nil.
Last year Johnson attempt­ed
to relieve the Negroes'
frustrations through a modest
poverty program which Con­gress,
in its penny-pinching
manner, saw fit to cut back.
Perhaps the report of the Pre­sident's
Commission on Civil
Disorders which is due in
March and promises some
"shocking revelations" will
However, even if the report's
effect is not lost in the red
tape of bureaucracy, such be­lated
action by Congress will
not begin to dent the poverty
of our slums or to relieve any
of the Negroes' frustrations.
In a more realistic effort,
Johnson recently sent a
questionnaire to 400 major
industrial firms in Boston,
Washington, Chicago, Los
Angeles and San Antonio ask­ing
for help in hiring or train­ing
500,000 "unemploy-ables."
The response has
been lacking; only 25 firms
agreed.
This apathy contrasts
sharply to the positive action
currently being taken in this
direction by Detroit, but then
Detroit has learned that a
city can burn rapidly.
After last summers riots
the Greater Detroit Board of
Commerce joined with the
New Detroit Committee (set
up to prevent future riots) in
an effort to find jobs for the
hard-core unemployed fo the
cities' slums.
Ford Motor Company has
led the way in employing'' un-employables"
with its Inner-
City Recruitment Plan. In the
past, the hiring process in­cluded
unrealistic tests and
unwarranted investigation of
a man's background, his em­ployment
history and educa­tional
experience.
Henry Ford, III, set the
tone for the new hiring pro­cedures
when he said, "If
they want jobs, we'll get

Women's rote change needed.
Compulsory housing
impractical, unfair
By Lyn Scarbrough
Auburn coeds, age 21 or over, should be
allowed to live in private off-campus apart­ments
onooTHs^if they so choose. Furthermore, there may be
some merit in considering allowing girls with junior classifi­cation
or above to have the privilege with parental per­mission.

Certainly the present rule, dorm life offers the most de-which
requires all unmarried gjred housing facilities.
female undergraduates under
age 23 to live in university-approved
dormitories, should
be changed.
The housing rules, which
have been in effect many
years, seem outdated, unfair
and impractical.
Administration and student
authorities have taken great
strides in recent years toward
changing unnecessarily strict
women's rules. These changes
have been welcomed and
needed. Similar consideration
of a housing rule change is
also warranted.
A rules change would
greatly ease women's housing
d i f f i c u l t i e s . Each year
potential coeds are refused
admission due to lack of ade­quate
accomodations. Two
new six-story dorms, com­pleted
last year, have helped
the housing situation but
have not solved it. The uni­versity
is now considering
converting a men's dormitory
into one suitable for women.
There are a large number
of vacant apartments and
rooms in the Auburn area. For
the first time in several
years ther& is a substantial
excess in off-campus housing.
This excess could be used
to ease the women's dor­mitory
load.
Realistically, there would
be no mass dorm exodus if
the existing rule were
changed. But all additional
dorm vacancies would help.
It is true that dormitory
life is a unique experience
which helps mold a woman's
life and gives her lasting
friendships. There is merit
in requiring dorm 'residence
during the first years at
school. But after two full
years, most women are in­telligent
and mature enough
be willing to go directly into
the city, to seek out the un­employed,
to make sure that
hiring standards are not un­necessarily
or unrealistically
restrictive."
This is exactly what Ford
has done by sending its in­terviewers
into the ghettoes
to seek out the hard-core un­employed
and hiring them on
the basis of their potential
as unskilled laoorers.
The Ford approach has cre­ated
what Detroit leaders
call "a climate of accept­ance"
by "showing that
every individual has value-whether
he is lettered or un­lettered-
when given the op­portunity
to do productive
work."
Detroit is alleviating the
frustrations of the hard-core
unemployed Negro by provid­ing
him with the means to
climb the economic ladder
and escape the ghetto. The
Negro in Detroit is being ac­cepted
as a citizen; he is
gaining the chance to live
and let live.
One city is only a start; a
guiding light for A nerica to
follow.
A practical view should be
taken on university control
over female students. Cer­tainly
rules are necessary to
avoid chaos and to serve
the best interest of all stu­dents
involved. However, a
time must come when a girl
can make her own decisions.
If she is in college, this is
the time.
Many parents would allow,
if not prefer, that their
daughters not live in uni­versity
dormitories. When
such cases exist, a univer­sity
should not have the
power to disregard parental
preference, if it is expressed.
A university can not
shelter a coed under a con­servative
parental umbrella
for the rest of her life. She
will eventually face the rude
awakening that she is her
own boss. She should be
experienced in accepting
such responsibility.
Female students who
practice-teach, most of whom
do not live in Auburn, are
allowed to live in apart­ments,
regardless of their
age. The vast majority of
these students have shown
the ability to maturely and
responsibly manage their
affairs and bring no dis­respect
to the university.
These examples speak well
for coeds' ability to operate
without strict supervision.
Many people, including
some psychologists and
educators, contend that fe­males
are more mature and
stable than males at com­parable
ages. If this is so,
there would be little logic
in women being forced to
live in dorms until age 23
while 17-year-old men may do
as they please.
Other expanding Southern
universities have seen fit to
allow coeds to live in off-campus
housing. It has been
necessary due to rising en­rollments,
housing shortages,
and women's desires to be
more independent.
Admittedly there would be
problems to work out here.
It would be necessary to
assure coeds of adequate
housing which would be
kept well enough for female
occupancy. It would also be
necessary to work out a plan
which would insure the
university of no large finan­cial
loss.
It would be advisable to
include persons from all in­terested
influencial univer­sity
groups, both student and
faculty, in any discussions
which might take place;. It
would probably be best to
include city officials also,
since off-campus housing
would be largely under city
authority. But despite the
necessary effort, it would be
worthwhile.
The time must come when
Auburn sees the necessity
for a housing rule change.
Consideration of such a rule
should be made now.
Practical sofcihon . . .
Drinking rules
might lessen
with moderation
By Bob Sims
A practical and realistic
approach to campus drinking
might solve many of the
primary problems such as
dry rush and womon's drink­ing
rules. K
' Obviously the most thor­ough
solution to drinking pro­blems
would
be to do
away with
all forms of
dr in king.
Perhaps
even the
Temperance
Union would
agree that
whether in
the" form of
illicit moonshine, hair tonic
which was drunk during pro­hibition
days or the choicest
liquors, if someone wants a
drink he will find one.
The only other practical
solution, it seems, is to
accept the fact that some
people want to and will drink
and then attempt to educate
drinkers to acceptable and
sensible standards.
On a recent trip to Europe,
I was impressed by the abil­ity
of young people there to
show control, maturity and
moderation in their drinking;
Europe did not seem to have
the drinking problems we do
here.
In Europe, moderation is
the key to enjoyable and
acceptable drinking mores.
Drunkenness is foolishness
to most European youth, and
although many of them are
lively drinkers, it is rare to
see a drunk at a party or on
the streets.
Naturally all European
countries have some pro­blems
with drunks, but
Sweden is the only country
with a problem of national
scope.
It was interesting to note
that Swedish youth learn
drinking habits when they
are much older than other
Europeans, and this custom
draws a close parallel to
our own American mores.
Sweden, in fact, is the
only European country that "
has a 21-year-old drinking
age as we do here; all the
other countries there have
loosely enforced 18-year-old
limits.
Evidently, youth brought
up in abstinence and who
choose to drink later often
cause problems because they
have not learned how to
moderate their drinking.
This problem is especially
evident at Auburn where many
students who drink were
brought up in the "Bible
Belt" influence of strong
abstinence.
These people who want to
drink are curbed by the laws,
the church and their parents,
but they still drink. The re­strictions
make it even more
glamorous.
Women's rules allowing
under-aged drinking would
be difficult to abolish be­cause
of state laws.
These rules and laws and
problems as well would not
need to exist though, if
young people were taught at
home and lived here at .'school
under practical yet enjoyable
drinking mores.
Consequently, it follows
that a realistic drinking age,
possibly 18, would cause
youth to accept a new re­sponsibility
instead of re­jecting
an old mandate.
Moreover, if such a toler­ation-
moderation level exist­ed,
drinking controversies
would be greatly reduced,
if not eliminated.

Letters to the editor
Nichols, A COIA
draw readers' ire
Editor off base
on Seibold trial
Editor, The Plainsman:
Editor Bruce Nichols has
a vivid imagination. To him,
"oldtimes" smells "damp,
dirty, and dead," conjuring up,
one supposed, the dreary un­exciting
times of Salome or
perhaps such recent "old-times"
as the Richard Burton-
Liz Taylor sexcitement. Per­haps
Mr. Nichols visualizes
"oldtimes" as the dull, un­interesting
moments of the
first U.S. orbital flight or of
Rome in Caesar's hayday.
Not only possessed of ima­gination,
Editor Nichols also
aspires to the title of "world's
greatest medium"-or maybe
he would prefer the more legi­timate
route of psychiatry. He
has instant understanding of
"brief stare(s) chilled with
hatred," and acute perception
in knowing that a statement
sounds "like the thought had
been there before she had
ever heard of Eddie Seibold.''
The " c h i l l e d hate" so
clairvoyantly visible at one
moment is later "masked by
benign countenance, "-the
same look on the faces, we
presume, of the same two el­derly
ladies dressed "in what
they usually wore to church."
Has the witness perjured him­self?
A jury of 12 citizens has
found Mr. Seibold guilty of
murder, sentencing him to
death. A like number of citi­zens
has reached the same
conclusion in a second trial
for a second murder, acting
on the same information, in­terestingly,
as the two "hate-filled"
ladies referred to by
Mr. Nichols. Like a jury, had
proof to the contrary been
submitted in this trial, these
same two ladies would in all
probability have reached dif­ferent
conclusions and ex­pressed
different emotions.
Responsibility for society's
method of punishment is on
the shoulders of every citizen
of Alabama, and indirectly on
every citizen of the i United
States. The thoughts and emo­tions
of each citizen relative
to each particular case do not
affect this shared responsi­bility.
The expression of a sin­cere
concern for the great
mass of society-even if it
includes taking the life of
one like Eddie Seibold, Brune
Richard Hauptmann, or Adolph
Hitler-doe sn't make such
"hate-filled."
Hugh G. Deen
Graduate Student
ACOIA to present
Unbalanced program'
Editor, The Plainsman:
The planners of this year's
ACOIA are to be congratulated
for a unique achievement: they
have, within the incredibly
brief space of a few months,
succeeded in arranging to in
flict upon the unsuspecting
Auburn student body and
faculty the zaniest band of
liberal idealogues that has
assembled in one unfortunate
location since possibly the
first organizational meeting
of the ADA. Indeed, the
speaker-list to date reads like
a catalogue of charter mem'
bers from The Society to
Build the Earthly Paradise.
Leaving this year's non-topic
aside ("human rights"
i s one of those issues like
ice cream, which nobody
opposes, or the man-eating
tiger-shark, which everybody
opposes), it must be said
that so far this year's sche­duled
performance clearly
indicates that ACOIA has
deteriorated into an organ for
the propagation of the faith.
And with a priesthood com­prised
of a Vietnam Pouter-
Pigeon (a highly evolved
s p e c i e s of "dove") and-several
hierophants of The
Ancient and Mystical Order
of Snake-Handling Egali­tarians,
there can be little
doubt about the credo to be
promulgated.
The fact is, irony aside,
that the ACOIA planners have
apparently made no attempt to
offer a balanced program of
speakers or to insure- the
representation of any signi­ficant
view opposed to the
line the speakers selected
thus far may be expected to
pursue. Thus, the program is
shaping up as an indoctrin­ation
session for the liberal
ideology.
We are perfectly prepared

Schedules carelessly
planned, says coed
Editor, The Plainsman:
An intolerable situation is
developing in the scheduling
of classes during registration.
Schedules are very carelessly
planned; sometimes a student
is fairly certain at the time a
course will not be taken. This
keeps a fellow-student who
must schedule the class from
being able to do so.
An appeal is hereby made
to all students to be very
careful in scheduling courses
for the next quarter, whereby
the situation can be improved.
Auburn is the great university,
it is because the students,
past and present, have shown
sincerity of purpose and
recognition of responsibility
toward their university and
each other-so let's exercise
this same fair spirit now when
registering and scheduling
courses. . . . . ..

l a s t Reflections'
By Mike Bufkin
The war in Vietnam has
been the subject of a mas­sive
exercise in English
composition, flooding the
countryside with official
reports, firsthand accounts,
editorials, opinions, de­bates
and propaganda in
hundreds of n e w s p a p e r s,
magazines and books. Indeed.,
the deluge has been such that
at times it has seemed im­possible
for the interested
but uninitiated citizen to ob­tain
an overall view of the
causes, complexities and im­plications
of the war. For any
such person, Bernard Fall's
"Last Reflections On a War"
can well serve as at least a
beginning in an attempt to
gain perspective.
Bernard Fall was killed by
a land mine in V i e t n am in
February, 1967. At that time
he was regarded as the world's
leading scholar on Vietnam
and had written seven books,
plus numerous contributions
to magazines and scholarly
conventions, on the subject.
He had visited the country six
times, and as a Frenchman,
was able to travel in North
Vietnam, where he interviewed
Ho Chi Minh and other im­portant
figures. His interest
in Vietnam was more than
that of a scholar though. On
his trips he had lived with
the troops and the peasants,
talked with the generals and
the guerillas, walked in the
jungles and the corridors of
state and at last, died in a
U.S. jeep from a V.C. land
mind. Vietnam was his life.
His "Last Reflections" are
actually a group of essays
and lectures, some published
previously, but never before
in book form. They have been
selected by his widow and
cover every phase of Vietnam
and the war. The book falls
into essentially two parts:
one dealing with the history,
politics, economics and
foreign relations of both North
and South Vietnam and the
other with the more personal
aspects of the war and the
people.
Part one b e g i n s with a
c h a p t e r on the history of
Vietnam-its first 1,000 years.
It emphasizes, as does the
whole book, the struggle for
independence and nationalism
that has, in Fall's opinion,
characterized all the events
in the country's history.There
are then three chapters de­voted
to conditions within
North Vietnam, including a
revealing biography of Ho. In
each chapter the actions are
viewed as basically nation­alistic,
but more and more
influenced by the necessity of
outside aid as the pressure of
war mounts.
Turning from the North, Fall
then deals with South Viet­nam
and the U.S. There is an
account of U.S. policy between
1940 and 1960, invaluable to
an understanding of the cur­rent
s i t u a t i o n , and a dis­cussion
of theSouth's internal
activities and problems. From
these it is evident that Fall
has a great distaste for U.S.
mistakes and interferences
within the South and for the
governments which have been
in power there.
In part one, Fall generally
maintains a stance of histor­ical
objectivity which lend*
credence to his statements..
In the second part, he adopts
a more subjective attitude, as
he deals with the war on a
more personal basis. We sefe
the things that he has seeri,
and are treated to a statement
of the elements of the war
which he thinks most impor­tant.
Here there is an occas­ional
leak of his own feelings,
and this serves the useful
function of allowing the reader
to see how an acknowledged
expert feels. But he has no
axes to grind, nor radical
policies to advance. He doe,s
advance a mild and logics^
s u g g e s t i o n , but without
waving either flag or picket
sign.
That is the real value of
the "Last Reflections." Fall
is not proselytizing. He seeks
no converts to his opinion. He
is merely doing the historian's
duty of recording accurately
what is happening. As W.
literary work the book is of'
little value. The pieces wege"
composed at different timep*
for different audiences, ai^t;
are consequently varied 'in,-
form and style.But as a state­ment
of what has and is hap­pening
in Vietnam, the bo>.^.' •
is valuable. uli

Wrestling at Auburn is a long winning tradition
'-'••'•• :•:•: • . & / * : > " '
Umbach instructs.
Tiger
Topics
By Richard Wirtish
Sports Editor
On the mat
It was 2:30 last Saturday afternoon and I was walking
i around outside the Sports Arena looking for an unlocked
V door. "Swede" Umbach, Auburn's wrestling coach, had
invited me to watch his men weigh-in for their meet that
night against the University of Georgia.
", A car rolls up and three burly types get out. I recog­nize
Mark Stern and Dewitt Starnes, two of Umbach's
(( standouts, and go over to introduce myself. The other
i fellow turns out to be Bill McKeand, whom Umbach des-ii
cribes as his best wrestler.
We find an unlocked door, enter, and I begin asking
• ' questions. . , .., . . . . . . . . . ..
"Doyou guys really starve yourselves the week before
a meet in order to be within set weight limits?" I ask.
•.* ., . Stern laughs.
"Not a week before a meet," says Stern, a talkative
guy with a Yankee accent. "But we try not to eat much
t he two days before a meet. Like I wrestled Wednesday
night and I ate a lot after the meet. Well, I had to lose
seven pounds between then and this afternoon. I think I
• had a can of Metracal yesterday morning and that's been
it."
Key to success
For some reason the questioning jumps to Umbach's
success at Auburn.
"I guess it's because he doesn't have to recruit boys-like
some coaches," says Stern. "He's such a great
coach and has such a great record, boys come to him to
wrestle."
We walk over to the Auburn dressing room, a small 14
foot by 10 foot area in one of the corners of the Arena.
There are about eight boys inside, milling around, talk­ing
and weighing in on a battered scale.
"Do you eat a lot after you weigh in?" I ask.
"I usually eat about two pounds of food," says Stern.
"We'll all go out and eat together after we get through
here."
Someone asks where they are eating tonight. The ans­wer
is yelled back.
"I'm glad we're eating there instead of where we used
to eat," says Larry Szutenbach, who is called "Zut"
by his teammates.
"What do you eat, steak?" I ask.
"We usually have meat, potatoes, and peas or some­thing,"
says Zut.
"Let's go," says Umbach. "We'll be eating with the
Georgia team uptown."
The team files out. Starnes hands Stern a Hershey bar.
"Thanks Dewitt," says Stern. "You're always there
when I need you."
I talk to Zut for a moment. We've been friends for
about a year.
Candy bar fiend
"That Starnes is a quiet guy, but he's one of the best
wrestlers we've got. He'll pin everybody he wrestles this
year. He's nuts about candy bars. We go on the road and
he'll take along two bags of the things."
Now, Umbach is the only one left in the Arena. We shoot
the bull for a few minutes.
"I missed the LSU meet Wednesday night, Coach.
Have the crowds been as good as they were for the Tech
meet?" (Fans filled both sides of the Arena's bleachers
for that one.)
"Yeah, we had a good crowd for LSU. We even had
some Auburn rooters down at Troy last night. I think
that's an indication that the sport's popularity is grow­ing
here and throughout the state.
"There are about 50 high schools in the state wrest­ling
now, and this is where you really build popularity.
Also, teams like Troy are trying to start a conference.
This should bring in some good coaches. That's where
the state and wrestling are weak. Not enough really good

Blue chosen early
in pro grid draft
By MIKE ANDERSON
"Being drafted in the first round by the pros is sort
of like a dream come true," said Auburn senior Forrest
Blue, for three years a standout at center for the Tiger's
football team.
Blue was the 15th player
s e l e c t e d in Tuesday's
National Football League-
American Football League
draft.
He was taken by the NFL's
San Francisco 49er's in the
first round of selections, being
picked before such regional
standouts as Alabama split
end Dennis Homan, the 20th
player drafted and a first
round pick of the Dallas Cow­boys;
Alabama quarterback
Ken Stabler, taken in the
second round by the Oak-
FORREST BLUE
land Raiders; and Blue's
teammate Freddie Hyatt, the
split end who broke a flock
of Auburn pass receiving re­cords
during his Tiger career.
The St. Louis Cardinals of
the NFL chose Hyatt in the
second round.
AN HONOR
"It's a real honor and pri­vilege
to be drafted by the
pros," said the 6'5", 240-
pound Blue. "This is the
dream of every college foot­ball
player, something every
player strives for."
Blue was contacted by San
Francisco immediately after
he was drafted.
"I walked around in a daze
all day," said the Tampa,
Fla. native. "They called
me and we talked about what
positions I'd be playing. They
figure I'll, be playing mostly
at offensive center, and may­be
a little offensive tackle.
We also talked about the
possibility of playing defen­sive
end. Anyhow, everything
depends on how things work
out at rookie camp."
SECOND TEAM SEC
Blue was the second team
all-Southeastern Conference
choice at center throughout
most of his three years of
varsity competition (Bob

second man selected in the

away from Auburn in the
second half of play and de­spite

the Tigers, 65-60.
TINKER STARS
1 Forward Wallace Tinker, at
one time-scoring eight
straight points, led Auburn's
fine first half performance.
Tinker wound up the night as
the Tigers' leading point
maker with 21 markers,
closely followed by soph­omore
forward Ronnie Jack­son,
who put in 20.
The Auburn-Georgia game
last Saturday in Athens, Ga.
was similar to the Florida
contest.
"Every ball game we play,
we come close, but always
said Coach Bill Lynn after
Georgia grabbed a 76-74
victory from his Tigers.
"We had the game won,
and lost it on mistakes,"
said Lynn.
14 FLOOR MISTAKES
He was speaking of Au­burn's
14 floor mistakes,
which plagued their deli­berate
attack all night.
.Three of those mistakes
came with only 1:40 left in
the game and Auburn leading,
72-67.
Each time Georgia got the
ball, they cashed in on
either a field goal of a free
throw. After one min. elapsed
Georgia scored eight straight
points and took command of
the game with a 75-72 lead.
Auburn, battling Georgia's
stout zone defense, fought
back, only to watch center
Bill Alexander's last-second
shot roll around and off the
the rim. Georgia claimed the
rebound and the victory.

Maravich duo

BY DAVID BAILEY

~;as Louisiana State will be
*^in town Wednesday night at
£*7:30 p.m. to meet the Au­burn
cagers in the Sports
-Arena. Once one of the
doormats of the Southeastern
^Conference the Bengal Tigers
•have a new stripe this season.
Two seasons ago LSU re­cruited
a new coach from
North Carolina State named
Press Maravich, and with him
came one of the most sought
after high school players
since all-pro Wilt Chamber­lain
began his playing days
at Kansas. Coach Maravich's
son Pete is the new stripe
for the Tigers from Bayou
country.
"PISTOL PETE"
"Pistol Pete" is currently
the nation's number one
scorer, as he pours in points
at the rate of about 45 per
game. Unless Lady Luck
does an abrupt about face
the SEC will have a new sea­son
scoring champ this year.
Maravich is a cinch to score
1,000 points.
The 6*5", 170 pound soph­omore
sensation isn't really
much to look at with his
bushy hair and droopy good
- luck socks; but looks aren't
what counts and Pete Mara­vich
does quite a bit of count­ing
on a basketball court.
And thanks to Pete many
people are counting on LSU
to be in the thick of things
for the SEC title this season.
At last glance LSU was
battling for the conference
lead with Tennessee and
Florida.
Pete is rapidly becoming
a legend down Louisiana way.
g According to an article in
Time Magazine, Pete once
played in a high school game
with a plaster cast supporting
a badly sprained ankle. He
scored 42 points.
One might think that
scoring more than half his
team's total points for most
of the games would satisfy
him-not so! The team's
leader in rebounding and
assists also happens to be
Pete Maravich.
To quote Pete's father
from the aforementioned Time
article, "I get to the point
where I don't coach him. I
just watch."
Sophomore star
is hard to stop
By JOE FRIDDLE
Covering Pete Maravich of Louisiana State has to be
one of the least enviable jobs in Southeastern Confer­ence
basketball. Members of the Auburn Tiger cage
squad will testify that the
versatile point-producing
forward is a hard man to
defend.
Bob Wills, who covered
Maravich as a freshman, says
RONNIE JACKSON
of Pete, "not one man could
cover him, it took an overall
team effort. I picked him up
about three steps from the
circle. He is 6'5", but quick,
real deceptive and a great
ball handler. He was real good
at hanging lay-ups if you gave
him any opportunity to get
around you."
55 AGAINST AUBURN
Earlier this season Auburn
played LSU at Baton Rouge
and "Pistol Pete" scored 55
points, close to his season
high of 58.
Ronnie Jackson, one of
several Tigers who covered
him, had this to say of Mara­vich:
"One guy can cover him-one-
on-one-if he doesn't get
screened. When we played
against them, I got picked and
he hit the jump shot. Nobody
switched to cover him. He's
great, he's going to get his
points-nobody is going to
deny him that. He's a real
good ballplayer. He has real
good moves, and he's quick."
The reputation of Pete
Maravich cannot be hurt by
his defensive play, either.
Playing on the wing of the
LSU zone defense, his height
and quickness prove to be an
obstacle for any offense. As
for the coming clash, Coach
Bill Lynn says, "It's just too
soon to think about how to
cover him yet."

Frosh defeat ACC, lose to Georgia
By JIM PARKER
Assistant Sports Editor
Some you win and some
you lose-and the Auburn
freshmen did both last
week.
Alabama Christian Col­lege
fell to the Baby Tig­ers,
91-73, Thursday night
but the Georgia Bullpups out-scored
the Auburn frosh, 110-
102, on Saturday.
The first half of the Ala­bama
Christian game was one
of the most exciting halfs of
basketball you would ever
want to see, and found the
Baby Tigers leading at the
horn by a slim margin of one
point.
DEFENSE LACKING
Both teams shot well, but
-the Tigers came up short on
defense, causing the close
score.
The second half was a dif­ferent
story. The Auburn
freshmen started by taking the
jump and increasing their
lead to three. This was as
close as Alabama Christian
was to get to the Baby Tigers
in the second half.
Leading in the scoring
ranks at the end of the game
was JohnMengelt with 35. He
hit nine of 11 free throws and
65 per cent from the field.
Following Mengelt was Larry
Long with 25 and Robert Mc­Donald
with 23, both from
Alabama Christian. There

Lays Ball In
were four others in double
figures, Wendell Whitaker of
Alabama Christian with 14,
and Auburn's Jim Walker with
16, Joe Sigur with 14, and
Greg Bendall with 10. ;
Saturday Auburn led the
Georgia frosh with five min­utes
left in the half, 37-36,
but Georgia caught fire and
came out on top at the half,
56-46. It was Georgia in the
lead from then on, and they
held a 21-point lead at one
time. Auburn fought their way
to within six points of Geor­gia
with 21 seconds left in
the game. With this win over
Auburn, Georgia has a 7.3
record.
John Mengelt set a new re­cord
Saturday for the most
points scored by an opponent
in Georgia's new coliseum by
hitting 43 markers, 19 of 28
from the field and five of
eight from the free throw
line. The record was pre­viously
held by varsity starter
Pete Maravich of Louisiana
State, who scored 42 there
earlier this year.

Auburn freshmen in the Sports

which beat Auburn's frosh,
115-88, in Baton Rouge, La.

by introducing the first
"Intramural Top Ten."
Our "Top Ten," chosen by
timers, scorekeepers, refe­rees
and student supervisor
Charles Lynn, consists of
teams from the fraternity, in­dependent
and dormitory
leagues. This is the first of
three ballots to be taken this
quarter. Included with the
teams are their number of
first place votes. ;
THE TOP TEN
1. Sigma Nu (15)
2. Air Force (3)
3. Omega Tau Sigma (1)
4. Phi Gamma Delta (1)
5. Kappa Alpha
6. Phi Kappa Tau
7. Rebels i
8. Sigma Chi
9. Sigma Alpha Epsilon
10. Delta Chi
As can be seen, the bro­thers
of Sigma Nu are having
their "hour." They have
depth, speed and teamwork
as demonstrated last week in
their 47-33 victory over Beta
Theta Pi. The Beta's went
into the fourth quarter only
three points behind, but the
Sigma Nu's battered the Be­ta's
defense for 14 points to
the good. The "chief char­mer"
for the Snakes was Pete
McKenzie, with 15 points.
AF NO. TWO
The Air Force is the se­cond
ranked team. Besides
playing intramural ball, this
skyscraping independent team
(average front line height-
6-5) has played in several
tournaments throughout the
state. Their single league
game was a victory over CIA,
84-30. Buddy Edwards and
Danny Hood are the main gun­ners
for the boys in blue.
OTS has beaten the Lambda
Chi's and the SAE's, giving
them the number three spot.
Basketball finesse is not
one of their strong points, but
of physical strength and
height. They should improve
as the season progresses.
The "herd" of Phi Gamma
Dejta has victories over
Theta Zi and Delta Sigma
Phi to give them the fourth
ranked spot. Speed and depth
are their biggest assets, while
height is their largest draw­back.
Being in a easy league
will help the Fiji's develop
into a first flight five.
UPSET VICTORS
Kappa Alpha, led by Larry
Moseley, has gained early
season recognition with an
upset victory over 10th ranked
Delta Chi. High scoring Bill
Floyd has been the main fac­tor
for Phi Kappa Tau being
in the top ten. The Rebels,
an independent team, are
ranked seventh. They sport
several "retired" varsity
athletes, and have been the
highest scoring team in any
league. The Sigma Ctii's won
a squeaker victory over Kap­pa
Sigma and then had an
easy win over DU to give
them the number eight spot.
Even after one loss at the
hands of OTS, the SAE's are
still an outside choice for the
league championship. The
Delta Chi's, also a one time
loser, can not be counted out.
As long as last year's champ­ions
have the Gaylord boys,
they will be a threat.
This rounds out the first
top ten. As can be expected,
there will be many disagree­ments
and gripes, but a vote
is a vote. By the time the
next ballot comes out, some
unheralded team may be
lodged in the number one
spot.

coaches."
"How many boys do you have on scholarships, Coach?"
"Well, we only get $2,400 to spend on scholarships.
That's about the equivalent of one full scholarship, so I
try to divide the money up among the boys, and in that
way at least pay for their registration fees..
"I heard that at the Southeastern Conference meeting
this past week, they decided to let schools give three
scholarships a year to non-conference sports. This would
mean we could have 12 boys on scholarships in the future
if everything worked out all right."
We walk out of the gloom of the Arena into the sunlight.
"Need a lift?" he asks.
"No thanks," I call back. "I'll see you at 6:30."
It is 6:30, an hour before the meet begins. The Auburn
team is suiting up.
Starnes walks up holding some wrestling tights in his
big hands.
"Here, fella, put these on and you can go out there
tonight and find out what it's all about," he says with a
smile.
I decline the offer.
"Hey, you can wrestle in my place," says Stern, the
New Yorker. "You'll have a weight advantage and he'll
never know it's not me if you don't open your mouth."
"No, if he did that, the guy would know for sure it
wasn't you," jokes Starnes.
This breaks the rest of them up.
"You ate with the Georgia team tonight, didn't you?"
I ask McKeand. No hate involved
"Well, we ate at the same place. I met the boy I'm
wrestling and we talked a little. We'll get out on the mat
we'll try to beat heck out of one another, but after our
"match we'll shake hands and be friends. And I won't hate
the guy, even during the match. You don't have to hate
your opponent in wrestling. You just have to want to
win."
"How do you get up for a match, or do you have to?"
"I get up when I'm on the mat," says Stern. " I used
to get myself all psyched up hours before and then I was
so tight I couldn't wrestle. I cut that out."
Starnes walks over to Stern.
"We still got our bet?" he asks.
"Sure, Dewitt," says Stern.
The bet is whoever pins his man in the least amount
of time gets a pack of Hershey bars.
Twenty minutes until the meet. The talk dies down.
Umbach comes in.
"Listen up for a few minutes," he says. "Okay, Geor­gia
came here to win and we're going to have to go out
and get them if we want to win. They beat Sewanee, and
we don't know how good Sewanee is but they usually
have a good team, so Georgia should be tough.
"Now you have to go out there with the idea of putting
your man down and pinning him because you know that's
what he's thinking about doing to you. (They have heard
this before but they pay attention, and Umbach talks
holds and strategy.) Remember, we've never lost a South­eastern
meet and we don't want to start tonight."
McKeand speaks up.
"We need to build on something, just like we always
do. We need to get the fire going. You know what hap­pens...
the crowd gets excited, and everyone gets
stronger. Let's get it going tonight and let's build on
that. I'll start it off and then Voss and then Butcher and
then the rest of you will follow it up."
Umbach leads them in the Lord's Prayer, then they go
for warm-ups and introductions.
And then McKeand opens the meet, wrestling in the
123-pound class. With 2:17 left in the match he pins his
man and things begin to build.

Odds were against 'Auburn boy,'
but Dan McNair wanted a victory
By ROY RILEY
No Southerner had ever won the National Collegiate
Athletic Association heavyweight wrestling champion­ship
when Auburn's Dan McNair checked in at Penn State
University for the 1953 grappling tournament. And the
chances of a Southern lad winning were not high then.
Reigning NCAA champ Gene Nicks of Oklahoma State
was there and so was 225-pound Nebraskan Ed Husmann.
Nicks weighed 245.
McNair was all of 195 pounds, soaking wet.
Most gave McNair a chance to get to the final match,
but only the most optimistic gave the senior from Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute much of a chance for the
title.
IMPRESSIVE CREDENTIALS
McNair had impressive credentials, though.
He lost a split decision to Henry Wittenberg in the
Olympic finals the year before, even though he broke
Wittenberg's ribs.
His college record was 33-1-1, having lost one and
tied one on his first year.
McNair was normally in the 191-pound class, but
wrestling Coach Umbach and McNair were -... after big
game.
Great Tiger Tales
Thomas Megele, of Hofstra, was McNair's first oppon­ent,
andthe Auburnite won handily, 6-2. ;
Next came the giant from Nebraska-Husmann.
They fought bitterly and when the final bell sounded,
no one had been pinned and it was up to the judges to
pick a winner.
They picked McNair because of his aggresiveness and
suddenly everyone began to talk about the "boy from
Auburn."
DOWN TO THE WIRE
Nicks won twice and now it was down to the last
match.
The championship of the NCAA.
And Auburn was in it.
The auditorium was packed long before the bout be­gan.
In fact, it was packed long before McNair got to the
arena.
They shook hands... or whatever wrestlers do before
a bout. (Accounts of the match say they acknowledged
one another.)
Then they were at it.
But there was no take down.
Nair escaped.
One point for McNair.
McNair got the advantage in the third round and the
defending champ began to falter.
More pressure from the Tiger strongman. Only inches
separated Nick's shoulders from the mat.
All of a sudden the great athlete from Oklahoma lunged

and then he was free. The bell sounded.
Tie score.
Overtime was imminent.
The first two minute overtime period ended in a stand­still.
The crowd roared its appreciation for the talent dis­played.

The final overtime began and ended as the other... no
takedown.
The decision rested with the judges.
They made their choice and in an instant, the South,
yea even API, had its first NCAA wrestling champ.
No one could beat Nicks.
No one ever had.
At least, no one had ever beaten him until March 28,

Fugler heads
tribal study
in Ecuador
By JANET SMITH
A study to determine the
relationships of primitive
Indian tribes in Ecuador to
their environment will be
conducted by a team of
graduate zoologists from
three universities. Heading
the team will be Dr. Charles
Fugler of Auburn.
FIVE YEAR PROJECT
Dr. Fugler spent the Christ­mas
holidays in Quito, Equa-dor,
formulating the plans for
the proposed project. The
team will be in Ecuador this
summer to begin work on an
intensive program which will
start next January and last
for five years.
The team will live with
three primitive Indian tribes
from the eastern jungles of
Ecuador: the Cofan, the Que-chua
and the Jivarol. The
latter of these has been known
to shrink heads.
STRESS FACTORS
The project will be center­ed
around finding the stress
factors as the tribes stress
acculturation. Dr. Fugler ex­plained
that as these tribes
come in contact with a more
advanced culture, their primi­tive
culture will be modified,
and stress factors will form.
The problem of the project
will be to find and identify
these stress factors.
The graduate students on
the team will be from the
University of Georgia, Michi­gan
State University and Au­burn
University. Only one stu-has
been named so far, Sandra
Smith, an Auburn graduate stu­dent
in zoology. These stu­dents
will live with the Indi­ans
and learn their customs
and languages.
Dr. Fugler, who is currently
in the foreign language de­partment,
received his B.S.
degree in zoology from Tulane
U n i v e r s i t y , his M.S. from
Louisiana State University,
and his Ph.D from Auburn
University.

Pregnant?
We won't tell I
By JOHN REYNOLDS
Under a revised policy being seriously considered at
Michigan State University unmarried pregnant girls under
21 will be spared the humiliation of a university directive
to advise their parents of their condition.
Instead, a coed's private physician will be the key
figure in determining if she is to divulge her pregnant
state to her guardian.
Where previously,, pregnant coeds, both married and
unmarried, were coerced by university regulations to drop
out of school prior to the middle of the fourth month of
pregnancy, now all girls in such a circumstance are en­couraged
by some of the Michigan State staff to continue
regular class attendance.
Milton Dickerson, vice president of student affairs at
Michigan State indicated that each case will be treated
individually without ah all-encompassing rule.
The director of the MSU student health service, James
Feurig, has offered to assist girls seeking medical
attention of a physician not connected with the univer­sity.
He suggests that the coed "obtain the services of
a physician who can see her through her pregnancy."
Concerning girls who permit the university clinic in­stead
of a private physician to treat them, Feurig said,
"We have the responsibility of dealing with a minor, and
if she does not tell her parents, in about 100 percent of
the cases we contact them for her."
PLEASURE LOANS AT WOFFORD COLLEGE
A "pleasure loan" which stipulates money borrowed
from it cannot be used for tuition, books, living expenses
or other basic essentials is in effect at Wofford College
in Spartanburg, S.C.
The $50 interest-free loan i s to be used expressly for
luxuries or anything providing enjoyment such as frater­nity
parties, television sets and stereos. The loan can
be repaid over a four-month period with only a $1 service
charge.
An anonymous alumnus recognized the need for such a
program when, as a student, he could neither afford to
rent a tuxedo for himself nor to buy a corsage for his
date. In donating the money for the "Pleasure Fund" he
reasoned that no student should graduate "without having
any fun."
EDITOR OF STUDENT PAPER FINED
For failure to reveal the identities of seven marijuana
users at the University of Oregon, Mrs. Annette Conard,
editor of university newspaper, the Daily Emerald, has
been declared in contempt of court and fined $300.
Nine months have passed since an article was printed
in the Daily Emerald that included an interview with
University of Oregon drug users. Mrs. Conard i s a propo­nent
of legislation establishing the reporter's right to
refuse to divulge the names of news sources. Newspapers
in 13 states are covered by such laws.
Though the lower court's decision has been upheld by
the Oregon Supreme Court, Mrs. Conard intends to appeal
the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
DRUG CRACKDOWN AT STONY BROOK
The nation's largest roundup of drug users has occurred
at the Stony Brook campus of the State University of New
York. Because Stony Brook officials refused to cooperate
in the arrest of 21 people taking various forms of drugs
in campus dormitories, Long Island police had to con­duct
undercover investigations.
After the police "crashed" the campus LSD parties
which were open to "the man on the street," students
c i r c u l a t e d a petition stating, "I, too, have smoked
marijuana." Faculty and students condemned the law
enforcement methods, calling them "Gestapo tactics."

Palestine, and against the
neighboring Arab states,
said Tomeh. "It is deplorable
that for the last 20 y e a rs
Israel has not only not been
punished, but has been en
couraged to pursue this po­licy,
primarily and basically
by the Government of the
United States."
"ARABS HUMILIATED"
He told the Security Council
the Arabs have been "humi­liated
and unjustly treated,"
while those who imposed the
humiliation have "been able
to get away with their crimes."
Tomeh charged that Israel
has continued a policy of
"gradual expansion" and
"piecemeal invasion" since
its conception. He said that
the central point of the pro­blem
since the end of armed
conflict is w i t h d r a w a l of
"Israeli aggressive forces
from occupied territories."
Tomeh, a former professor
of philosophy at the Syrian
University, has served as
representative of Syria and
the United Arab Republic to
the Trusteeship Council of
the United Nations in 1958-
UNITED EFFORT NEEDED
Arnon said the main pro­blem
in the Arab-Israeli
situation is recognition of all
countries involved and united
efforts for peace and cooper­ation.
"The United Nations char­ter
pledges us to peaceful
co-existance, and we have
undertaken to r e s p e c t the
territorial integrity and poli­tical
independence of all
states," he said. "Israel as
a state has not been allowed
to enjoy the first prerequisite
of this sovernign equality and
of the charter as a whole. I
refer to peace."
He charged that despite
armistice agreements Arab
states have refused to proceed
towards establishment of
peacefulrelationships.He said
the official doctrine of the
Arab world is "no recognition,
no negotiation, no peace."
EDITORIAL STAFFER
Arnon served on the edi­torial
staff of the Jerusalem
Post from 1945 to 1948 and
was press officer and spokes­man
of the Ministry for Fore­ign
Affairs until 1951.
In 1955 and 1956 Arnon was
the director of the Israel
Government Press Office in
Jerusalem. He served as
counselor in charge of press
and information at the Embassy
of Israel in Washington, D.C.

He continued, "I have no

who is likely to oppose the
actions of his government or
to debate obedience to law.
That subject is not de-debatable."

Auburn's youngest housemother
Curfews? Not her!
By ROY RILEY
Assistant Managing Editor
"Got time for a hamburger before I have to take you
back to the dorm?":the Auburn student says to
his date as they emerge from the movie.
"Sure."
"By the way, what time do you have to be back?"
"Oh, no special time. I just go in when I get ready."
"Holy cow. You must have a great housemother."
"I am the housemother."
This scene, though not a frequent one, occurs in the
life of Auburn's youngest housemother, Carol Jean Smith
of Birmingham.
The 23-year-old home economics graduate student is
the housemother at the Home Management House, campus
home for eight home economics students.
GRADUATE STUDENT
"Every girl in home ec is required to live in the Home
Management House for one quarter," Jean explains. "It
would be difficult to get a faculty member to be house­mother,
so the department always has a graduate student
to do the job.
"The girls take turns cooking and managing the house,
and someone has to keep a check on their progress. It
would be hard to find a full time person to do this job."
Jean came to Auburn in September after graduating from
Samford University last January.
VI like the idea of having a graduate student as the
housemother," Jean continues. "The girls have the same
rules as those in other dorms and these rules are en­forced.
But being close to their ages helps me to under­stand
the problems.
"I think girls in home ec should set the pace and help
establish trends in fashions and other such matters and
a young person can sometimes be of more help than an
older woman."
Although the situation is a controlled one, Jean says
everything does not always run smoothly.
' 'Take the time one of the girls left a dish towel in the
jelly roll mix and couldn't figure out how to get it out
before she cut the baked rolls for our desert," Jean
beams. "Or the time someone forgot to turn off the soa
