To Replace fatuity Council
Faculty Senate
Recommended
By BOB SIMS
Recommendations for a University Senate to replace
the Faculty Council have been proposed to the council.
A constitution to establish the program will be present­ed
to the Board of Trustees in November for considera­tion,
if approved by the council.
The proposal, made by the Faculty Council Constitu
tion Committee, • is aimed
at reorganization to more
effectively use the "col­lective
intelligence" of the
faculty and administration in
academic matters on the cam­pus.
' "The committee feels that
a larger representative body
such as we have proposed
will more effectively enable
communications between fac­ulty
members and administra­tion
concerning their react­ions
to policies affecting the
Airplane Crash
Kills Astronaut
Clifton C. Williams, as­tronaut
and Auburn alumnus
became the eighth U. S. as-,
tronaut to die accidentally
when the jet trainer he was
flying exploded in mid-air
last week.
Williams, a 1954 graduate
in mechanical engineering, had
been chosen for the space pro­gram
in 1963, and was a back­up
crewman for the Gemini 10
flight.
He had been with the Apollo
moon program since July, 1966.
After graduation from Auburn
00 a Naval ROTC scholarship,
Williams enrolled in the Mar­ine
Corps flight training school
at Pensacola • He served a
tour of duty throughout the Far
East, and in 1961 volunteered
fpr naval test pilot training.
Williams had attained the
rank of major in the Marines
before transfering to the space
program.
Williams was among the
group of astronauts being con­sidered
for the first Lunar land­ing.
He had told friends that if
he were the first American on
the moon, his first words would
be "War Eagle!"
His feelings toward the
sjiace program were expressed
in May, 1966, when he told the
Plainsman, "this is the most
interesting, exciting job that
anybody can have because
everything is pertinent to your
success and safety. There are
no areas to dislike.
the academic program," said
Dr. Robert K. Butz, professor
of mathematics and chairman
of the committee.
The committee proposed to
the council that a senate with
representatives from all de­partments
with four or more
full-time employees replace
the present school represent­ation
system.
ONE REPRESENTATIVE
The group further proposed
that the University Senate in­clude
one elected representa­tive
from each formal depart­ment
numbering at least four
full-time staff members.
The committee also pro­posed
one elected representa­tive
from each school lacking
formal departments and one
from the professional library
staff.
As ex-officio members, it
proposed the president and
vice president of the Univer­sity,
the Dean of Faculties,
the deans of schools, the
Director of Educational Ser­vices,
the Director of Librar­ies,
the Dean of Women, and
the Dean of Student Affairs.
The present council consists
of faculty representatives
only.
BUTZ COMMENTS
"Members of the committee
expressed hope that the pro­posed
constitution will in­clude
student-faculty relation­ships
in academic affairs
with student government pre­sident
and president of As­sociated
Women Students as
active members of the Se­nate,"
said Butz, the presi­dent
elect of the council.
The business of the pro­posed
Senate would be con­cerned
with general educatio­nal
policies of the Universi­ty
affecting the various
schools concurrently under
the following specific head­ings:

FINER THINGS IN LIFE
Although fall quarter at Auburn is well underway,
some students still find time to enjoy "the finer things
in life". . . like a quiet walk through Samford Park.
City Evicts Four;
Zoning Rules
Termed 'Vogue'
Students Forced To Vacate Apartment;

By CHRIS WHEELER And ANN HOLLINGSWORTH
Four students charge that a seldom used zoning ordinance which reserves resi­dential
areas for families was invoked to expel them from off-campus housing after
neighbors complained that they were disorderly.
Although City Attorney J. K. Haygood said the ordinance cannot be enforced ef­fectively
because of its

Student Senate Approves
Changes In Constitution
By MARGARET HESTER
Constitutional amendments
concerning the line of suc­cession
of student body offi­cers
and the cheerleader
election laws were approved
by the Student Senate Monday
night.
To become a part of the
student constitution these
amendments must be approved
by the student body in an
election. Action on Senate
reorganization was postponed
until next Monday night.
Two proposed amendments
deal with student body offi­cer
succession. One states
that if the office of the pre­sident
of the student body
should become vacant at any
time, the line of succession
will be vice president and
president pro tern of the Se­nate.
Another provides that if
the office of Miss Auburn
should become vacant at any
time, the president of the stu­dent
body shall call on the
runner-up to Miss Auburn to
serve the remaining term. If
the runner-up cannot serve,
the president shall call a spe­cial
election within two weeks
after the vacancy occurs.
Another proposal enables
the members of the cheer­leader
selection committee,
with the exception of the head
cheerleader and Superinten­dent
of Spirit, toappoint subs­titutes
iri" tjieir absence with
the apporval', of the student
body president.
The proposed Senate reor­ganization,
to be discussed
next Monday, would increase
the number of school senators
to 14. This would allow a
mere proportionate represent­ation
for students in the
larger schools on campus.
The number of senators-at-large
would remain the same.
Wreck Tech Parade
Rolls Wednesday
A street riot? A love-in?
A sleep-out?
No, the pa jama-clad
freshmen, the floats and
the signs to be seen next
Wednesday are part of the
annual 'Wreck Tech* Pa­rade.
Beginning at 3:30 p.m.
Wednesday, the parade is
a traditional celebration of
Auburn's football rivalry
with an arch foe, Georgia
Tech.
Any organization wish­ing
to enter a float in the
parade should send a rep­resentative
to the Wreck
Tech meeting today at 4:30
p.m. in Room 213 of the
Union Building.
All floats must be car­ried
by hand and cannot
excede four feet in width
and six feet in height. Or­ganizations
entering floats
must present their theme
to the Student Body Office
by noon tomorrow.
Participating freshmen
will wear 'Rat* caps, and
pajamas are required ap­parel
for male frosh.
Dean's excuses will be
given to all freshmen,
cheerleaders and band
members who take part in
the parade. These excuses
will cover classes from 3
to 6 p.m. except for one-hour
classes and labs.
The parade will form at
3 p.m. in the field at the
west side of the stadium.
Immediately following the
parade, the 'Wreck Tech*
Pep Rally will be held in
Cliff Hare Stadium. Head
Coach Ralph 'Snug* Jordan
is the guest speaker at the
rally.
vague definition of the
term, "family," City Coun­cil
President, Mrs. Kenneth
Roy, said the city will con­tinue
to enforce the ordi­nance
to remove students
who give their neighbors a
reason to want the students
to move.
PONDER EVICTED
William T. Ponder, a fourth
year student majoring in eco­nomics,
said he and three oth­er
students were directed to
leave their residence at 949
Lakeview Dr. on the grounds
that they did not qualify as a
family. But Ponder said that
he had lived in the house for
two and a half years, and no
action was taken against them
until last month when he was
arrested on a "disorderly pre­mise"
charge.
When two of the students
appeared in court, they were
notified that the city had de­cided
not to press eviction
charges under the zoning or­dinance.
Haygood said that
since the students had chang­ed
residences, the city did
not want to appear vindictive.
One city official estimated
that several hundred students
are living in the family only
area, but those who are order­ly
will not be forced to move
at the present time. Dormitor­ies,
boarding houses and apart­ments
are in areas zoned for
non-family groups.
"FAMILY" DEFINED
The definition of a family
has not been fully determined
even though the ordinance de­fined
a family as any group of
individuals living together as
a single housekeeping unit and
cooking on the premise.
"We have not decided what
constitutes a family, but we
did decide what one is not,"
said City Council Manager H.
R. Thornton. He said the city
believed that four boys living
together were not a family.
"In the past years we have
been lenient because of stu­dent
housing shortage, but
Project '67 Yields Recommendations
Failure Rate Studied
By JOE LEHMAN
Ever flunk a course?
Chances are you either
have or will before you
manage to graduate.
Auburn students failed
over 2,700 courses during
the winter quarter of 1907,
a failure rate of 5.4 per
cent. This rate varied from
a low of .1 per cent in the
School of Veterinary Medi­cine
to a high of 14.0 per
cent in the School of Che­mistry.
What are the causes of stu­dent
failures and what can be
done to reduce the student
failure rate?
Some answers were recently
offered in the report of the
Project '67 Committee On
Student Failure.
CAUSES OF FAILURE
Corrective recommendations
made by the committee ware
based on an analysis of two
questionnaires, one answered
by students and the other by
faculty.
"The data obtained from the
questionnaires cannot be
considered representative of
the campus as a whole. No
attempt was made to secure a
random sample of students or
ascertain the average stu­dent,"
said Dr. William D.
Spears, committee chairman.
"Instead, these question­naires
were administered to
groups chosen for specific
purposes and analysis drawn
from consistent patterns which
appeared," he said.
These groups were chosen
to insure samplings of a large
proportion of freshmen and
sophomore students among
whom most failures occur, and
a representation of students
from all schools and depart­ments
on campus.
Of the over 800 students
answering the questionnaire,
52 per cent stated that they
had failed one or more courses
while attending Auburn.
CHARACTERISTICS
The student who has failed
one or more courses exhibits
certain general characteristics
according to the committee's
report.
He is more likely to be
male, have access to a car,
have a large number of gra­duate
instructors, and to have
changed majors. He is less
likely to study regularly or to
participate in classroom dis­cussion.
These generalities were
drawn from the study of such

we will enforce the violations
as we find them," stated
Thornton.
Yet, Mrs. Roy said that it
is possible that four students
living together, cooking on the
premise, and leasing in one
name could constitute a family.
"The action of the tenant
determines the enforcement of
the ordinance as boys who

"A probable addition to the
proposal will be the student-faculty
relationship in aca­demic
affairs," said Butz.
Under present administra­tion,
neither the Faculty
Council nor a University Se­nate
could enact major policy
unless the power were taken
away from the Board of Trus­tees
and the President by the
State Legislature.
The committee report did
not clearly define the role of
the proposed Senate as an
acting body and such informa­tion
is not available until the
constitution is prepared for
consideration next month.
"Speaking for myself and
other members of the commit­tee,
it is felt that a program
of this type would need wide­spread
approval by the faculty
in order to function properly
even though it is not neces­sary,"
said Butz.

areas as student characteris­tics,
teacher characteristics,
program characteristics, and
college environment.
The Committee on the
Causes of Student Failure
made several recommendations
which they believed would
alleviate the present student
failure rate.
First, the committee recom­mended
that a syllabus be
developed for each course
being taught. This syllabus
would specify the material to
be covered as well as the
teacher's freedom to depart
from it. The syllabus would
state the level of attainment
necessary for assigning a spe­cific
grade. This would give
the teacher and the student a
clear statement of course
goals and expectations.
Other important suggestions
included university emphasis
on quality teaching and cre­ation
of "a more scholarly
atmosphere for the students."
The committee recommended
further study in certain areas
before any specific program
aimed at reducing the rate of
student failure was implemen­ted
into the academic system.
For example, follow-up stu­dies
would include perfor­mance
in courses of students!
who received grades of D in
prerequisite courses; of stu-i
dents who had graduate stu­dent
instructors in prerequi­site
courses; and of students
who took prerequisite courses
in large class sections.
GRADING CRITICIZED
Grading practices received
sharp criticism from the stu­dents
questionnaires as well
as the committee's report.
Many students' felt that
grade scales are tco high in
some courses and that grading
practices are inconsistent both
'between departments and with­in
departments. :
The committee report stated,
"There is evidence that the
faculty tends to conform to
predetermined, sometimes er­roneously
conceived, grade
distributions. Some students
asserted, and the records sup­port
them, that A's are 'next
to impossible to get from some
teachers.'"
OTHER FINDINGS
The committee made other
findings in various areas of
their investigation.
Eighty per cent of the fac­ulty
and 70 per cent of the stu­dents
answering the question­naire
blamed insufficient study
as a major cause of failures.
More than 70 per cent of the
students who reported failing
four or more courses stated
they did not study regularly.
Social activities were
blamed as a major failure
cause by 68 per cent of the
faculty answering, but by only
34 per cent of the students.
Findings of the committee
showed that students who had
easy access to a car also had
a higher failure rate.
The study of high school
backgrounds of the students
involved in answering the
questionnaire revealed this
comparison: Graduates from
small high schools (graduating
class of 75 or less)- had the
smallest percentage of fail­ures
while graduates of mode­rate
size high schools (gradu­ating
class of 150 to 300) had
the largest percentage of fail­ures.
Student morale was shown
to be high.Over 80 percent of
the students felt that their
professors enjoyed teaching
and liked the students they
were instructing. Seventy-five
per cent of the students felt
free to ask questions in class
and to visit their professors.
In addition, over 80 per cent
of the faculty reported that
contact with the students was
the most enjoyable aspect of
teaching.
The Committee on Causes
of Student Failure's report
did not include a comparison
of Auburn's failure rate with
failure rates at other major
institutions across the nation.
Such comparisons would have
contributed additional infor­mation
to the conclusions
drawn in the report.

Attack SGA
By ROY SUMMERFORD
Exchange Editor
Ineffective student government has fallen under attack
by several student newspapers during the last few weeks.
The Miami Hurricane, for example, was shocked to find
that Miami's student government failed to keep records of
bills presented. According to the newspaper, there is no
way to tell what bills have passed or failed.
The student government situation at Miami is described
as in a state of anarchy. There are no bills, resolutions, or
records of their passage or failure. Only an unidentified
number is used to refer to each bill passed over the years.
An editorial in the Hurricane blamed the student govern­ment's
problems on a lack of consistent philosophy. Each
new government has a different approach to student pro-blems,
and with no rules organization, many resolutions
contradict each other.
The major problem, according to the Hurricane, is a lack
of SGA identification with either the students or the admi­nistration.

had one major complaint about student government there.
The SGA, states the Kernel, doubts its own ability to
assume responsibility, and thus fails to assert itself.
The Kentucky Kernel, in a recent editorial, lay most of'
the blame for an ineffective student government on the stu­dent
officers themselves for their heavy reliance on the ad­ministration,
instead of asking for more help from the admi­nistration.
CHARGES AND COUNTERCHARGES
A series of charges and countercharges at the University
of Texas has damaged the status of student government
there also.
During the past six months members of the student gov­ernment
have argued among themselves over the student
constitution, the student court, the elections, cheerleader
elections, and the Freshman Council.
All this internal strife led the Daily Texan to question if
politics are being used for personal gain within the Student
Government Association.
The Freshman Advisory Council resigned last week be­cause
of what its members termed the ""politically,
oriented" aspects of the new Freshman Council program.
The Student Assembly just recently had to rule on the
legality of cheerleader selections. The Assembly ruled that
charges against the selection committee were unfounded and
chose to accept the committee's choice of cheerleaders.

Auburn Receives Grant
Under Project THEMIS
By JAMES THORNTON
Auburn has been awarded
what may eventually be­come
the largest single
grant in its history for a
new research and graduate
training program.
Entitled project THEMIS,
the Auburn program will
focus on information
science, • and several re­lated
areas including the
computer center, mathematics,
and most of the engineering
departments.
Specific areas of study will
include development of a pro­duction
control system simu­lator,
study of automatic de­sign
methods using computers,
and studies of digital pattern
recognition schemes.
Work has already begun in
these areas. Originally ap­proved
as a three-year project,
budget negotiations between
Auburn and the Department of
Defense have resulted in guar­anteed
funding for the Auburn
proposal for the equalivent of
two full years at an annual
funding rate of $171,500.
The proposal will be auto­matically
extended on a year-by-
year basis depending on
successful completion of work
here. This could result in in­definite
funding of the project
Auburn's THEMIS project
was one of the nation's 50
projects approved by the De­partment
of Defense in July
1967 for initiation in Septem­ber
1967.
Auburn's proposal was one
of the 479 proposals from 171
institutions that were submit­ted.
Approval of the design
means that Auburn's proposal
was ranked in the top ten per­cent
of the proposals.
The University was select­ed
to participate in project
THEMIS, "because of the ex­cellence
of our initial propos­al,"
said Dr. Lanham. Depart­ment
of Defense officials made
a site visit to the campus
earlier this year to inspect
our facilities and final ap­proval
came in July.
"This program involves
more than just research; it
will also concern graduate
training in computer sciences
and engineering."
Program Manager for the pro­ject
will be Dr. L. H. Williams
director of the Auburn Univer­sity
Computer Center.
Other Auburn faculty mem­bers
who will devote part-time
efforts to the THEMIS project
include Drs. D. L. Hartford,
Theo Eddlis, and E. E. Wal­ker
of the computer center
and Drs. C.R.White,JoeMize,
and H. G. Fowler of Industrial
Engineering.
Dr. W. H. Russell of Mech­anical
Engineering and Dr. C.
C. Carroll of Electrical En­gineering
will also work With
the project.
In addition to these person­nel,
the project budget pro­vides
funds for the employment
of ""**' "nal fulljtime
staft and for up to
ten graaL :. search assis­tants
to wor* Cii the THEMIS
program.
The project will be coordi
nated by the Army Research
Office at Redstone Arsenal
and by the office of the Vice-
President for research at Au­burn.
Quarterly reports - on re­search
progress will be made
to the Huntsville office.

The Zoning Controversy
The City of Auburn forced four stu­dents
from their residence last week
because they had "violated" an ill-defined
city zoning ordinance. (See
story, page 1).
The city police had received pre­vious
complaints about the students
from neighbors, and one had been ar­rested
and fined earlier for operating
a "disorderly premise."
We do not question the responsibi­lity
of the city to maintain order, nor
do we condone disorderly conduct of
students. Debate over student con­duct
is secondary in this instance.
What does concern the Plainsman is
the implication for many s t u d e n ts
in the apparent injustice done these
four under the pretense of enforcing a
zoning ordinance.
The ordinance had seldom, if ever,
been used previously against students
and city officials have not yet ade­quately
defined the zoning regula­tion.
When the case went to court,
the city dropped the charges "because
the students had already moved" and
because the city, according to one
official, "did not want to appear vin­dictive."
Agtually, • there is some question
whether the city could have gotten a
conviction because the ordinance is
vague on a key particular: the defini­tion
of family. The area where the
four were living is restricted to fami­ly
units by zoning regulatior s. How­ever,
by one definition, four men
living together and cooking meals on
the premises constitutes a family
unit.
When questioned about the vague­ness
of the ordinance, the city mana­ger
said simply that the council had
not decided what constitutes a fam­ily,
• but "we have decided what a
family is not."
Since enforcement of the zoning
laws can come only in response to a
complaint, the city council add­ed
that students who behave them­selves
while living in a wrong zone
would probably not be disturbed by
the enforcement of the zoning ordi­nance.
We do not see how city officials
could expect to be fair under these
vague guidelines if the future strin­gent
enforcement of zoning regula­tions
promised by the city manager is
undertaken.
Several hundred students in widely
scattered and varied sections of the
city could be affected.
What constitutes disturbance in one
neighborhood might be permissible in
another.
The city council should clear up
the ambiguities in the zoning ordi­nance
now, not after the next "vio­lation;"
and if more stringent enforce­ment
is definitely planned, students
should receive adequate notice be­tween
terms if they are living in a
restricted zone so they can make pre­parations
to vacate with as little in­convenience
as possible.
And if enforcement is to be strin­gent,
property owners should be held
equally responsible if students rent
from them illegally in restricted zones.
Clifton C. Williams Jr.
We are grieved by the untimely death
of Astronaut Clifton C. Williams, Jr.
His tragically foreshortened, but
successful, career bears him ample
tribute. He had been an admirable stu­dent
on this campus and a capable
man in a demanding field.
He was the first Auburn graduate to
be named an astronaut and as such
owned our special pride.
In a Plainsman interview in the
spring of 1906, he had shared his ad­venture;
his eager, purposeful attitude
and his confidence inspired us.
Since then, we had followed his
career with greater interest. One day,
he was sure, men would land on the
moon and he hoped to be one of them.
His forward-looking conversation in
1960 showed that he was not given to
musing about what might have been.
He would not appreciate our doing so
now.
He was, simply, a man of the future.
It will be less without him.
Mr. Hanson And Mr. Yerby
In a modest ceremony, two of Ala­bama's
most outstanding newspaper
men were honored in Draughon Library
by the Alabama Press Association.
Not many students noticed the cere­mony
oh a morning before a football
game, and we suspect sadly that not
many students have noticed the APA
Hall of Honor.
Honored were the late Victor Han­son,
builder of the metropolitan Bir­mingham
News, and the late William
E. W. Yerby, who published the
Greensboro Watchman, one of the
state's outstanding weeklies.
On the eve of National Newspaper
Week, the ceremony honoring signifi­cant
contributions to both weekly and
daily press appropriately emphasized
the importance of the weekly news­paper
in Alabama history.
We were impressed by the stature
of these men. We are proud that they,
and others like them, are honored on
this campus.

Continued Abuse
Could Help LBJ
By Brute Nichols
President Johnson may be ; nagged and
abused right back into the White House
next year.
There is much to criticize in the President. He is far
from the best chief executive we have ever had. His early
political history is questionable. He is not an appealing
p e r s o n a l i t y . He has not the trend with the few today
handled his duties in the
White House with the dexter­ity
that was his in the Con­gress.
Obviously, the President
suffers from a "moral gap."
A great number of Americans
do not trust him, do not be­lieve
he tells the truth-about
Vietnam or anything else.
But there are cycles in
politics, and there are limits
to the depths to which a con­scientious
President may fall
in the public esteem. Des­pite
all the derision of his
character and his lack of
"moral leadership," Johnson
is clearly conscientious and
clearly desires to do a good
job as President.
And if he is degraded
enough now, the morals issue
which seems crucial, could
disappear by November, 1968.
Indeed, the general dis­satisfaction
with national
moral leadership on which
several candidates, including
Mrs. Shirley Temple Black
and Governors Reagan and
Romney, have capitalized is
already getting to be a worn
issue.
As disgusting as recent
incidents in Washington may
have been, there is little
reason to believe that morals
in government are any lower
than before. The continued
implication that the adminis­tration
is corrupt is tiresome.
And the issue could easily
backfire on Republicans next
year, if more sensible ap­proaches
are overruled and
becomes the practice of the
majority in next year's Pre­sidential
campaign.
S e 1 f-righteousness has
trapped national politicians
before. Notably, Governor
Romney's inability to admit
that he had ever erred led
him to the calamatous
"brainwashing" charge.
Further, the public will
realize, no matter what flirt­ations
haunt the weeks of
campaigning and opinion
p o l l s , that politics is a
hard business where realities
demand experience as well
as high character.
Charges that the moral and
the right must be protected
are easy to make. The diffi­culty
comes when choices
must be made, when the most
just course must be chosen
from a number of grays. When
that time comes, the idealists
like Mrs. Black and others
who have trumpeted the great
American ideal are too often
lost.
If the moral integrity issue
is overplayed, then, with an
awareness of the above stated
truths, the public might deve­lop
a sympathy for the har­ried
man in the White House
who is struggling with impos­sible
problems.
Americans traditionally
sympathize with the unjustly
hounded underdog, and soon,
they may realize that Presi­dent
Johnson just might
qualify as such. And that
sympathy could be enough to
carry him back to Washington
next November.
Here We Go Again.
A Student's Guide
To Housemothers
By Ed Gouedy
W A JH ln our effort to acquaint the newly arrived
Auburn freshman/transfer student with his
environment, we have decided to touch this week on one of
the more vital groups (at least in the administration's eyes)
on the Auburn campus: the dorm mothers. Seldom heard
(except for an occasional "aHEM!") but often seen (and
always seeing), this group
can be divided into several
categories:
Grouchus Maximus (Let-us
Snoopus): This is one of
the more frequently seen
members of the group, and it
is claimed by some that her
presence on the Auburn cam­pus
is an attempt by the ad­ministration
to keep the War
Eagle tradition going, be­cause
she usually acts and
sounds like one. She is an
expert in fashions (that were
in style in 1957), manners
(Victorian), morals (also
Victorian), boys ("Now re­member,
girls, they are all
interested in one thing."),
and extra-curricular activi­ties
("DON'T!"). Favorite
statements: "Your skirt is
too short." "Don't you think
your skirt is too short?" and
"I think your skirt is too
short." Weaknesses: un--
known. Favorite pastime:
Setting the dorm clock five
to ten minutes ahead of the
rest of the clocks in Auburn.
Grouchus Minimus (Bleah):
This species is an evolution­ary
improvement of the Grou­chus
Maximus, the evolution
taking place some quarters
after she begins her career
as a dorm mother. She retains
some of the characteristics
of the G. Maximus, such as
her attitudes toward manners
and fashions, but has libera­lized
her beliefs in some
ways. She likes to run a tight
dorm, although this is not to
be confused with running a
dorm with tight residents. Her
attitude toward extracurricu­lar
activities has also grown
more liberal, although she
doesn't want the rest of the
world to know it ("Reserve
those things for the car or the
apartment, girls, not the front
of the dorm.") Weaknesses:
subtle brown-nosing tactics.
Favorite statement: "I just
don't know about young
people today." Usually found:
talking.
Dormmotherus Naieveus:
This is a rarer species of the
bird, being seen by only
about ten per cent of the
Auburn males. Unfortunately,
her charges are also seen by
about ten per cent of the
Auburn males. She is totally
oblivious to the other activi­ties
around campus, and
could easily be relocated in
a convent without ever know­ing
the difference. Typical
actions by this species in­clude
calling dorm meetings
on Thursday night at 7:30,
having dorm-wide, prayer meet­ings,
and continually sug­gesting
to the administration
that they reconvert Langdon
Hall into the chapel it once
was and having mandatory
chapel attendance. Weak­nesses:
pre-ministerial stu­dents;
preference for those
who abstain from the use of
tobacco, alcohol, television,
movies, after shave, and
other tools of the devil.
Dormmotherus Lacadaisi-calus:
This species, although
present on campus is rarely
seen by anyone, even the
residents of her own hall.
Generally, she appears at
the end of the quarter to say
good-by to the girls, and
either hibernates in her room
or plays bridge with other
housemothers between times.
She has complete trust in her
girls ("If any of y'all come
in drunk, I know you'll tell
me, so I'm going to bed at
7:30.") and the boys that
take them out. Weaknesses:
anything. Favorite pastimes:
everything that is non-fatten­ing,
legal, and (usually)
moral.
MOTHER HUBBARD
Uikient Or Ineffective. . .
Student Government:
Force Or Club?
By Charles Bentley
One of the major problems facing many
Istudent governments is a tendency to be­come
a private club, an organization isolated from the fac­ulty,
student body, and administration of the institution.
Since an organization in this condition thrives on itself, it
usually initiates a program which is a duplication of the
past, rarely incorporates new
personnel or ideas, and be­comes
burdened by petty pro­jects
and lack of support.
Obvious reasons for this
situation are an almost com­plete
annual turnover in the
• organization and a poor pub­lic
:elations program.
The result is, with the ex­ception
of ceremonial occa­sions,
pep rallies, and pre­sentation
of popular enter­tainment,
most students see
no evidence of the vigorous
student government which
should be operating on their
campus. Much of student
government's effectiveness
is demonstrated in the con­ference
room where students
have 50 per cent representa­tion
on many important
policy-making boards. These
contributions go largely un­noticed
by the student body.
However, there is much more
that can and should be done.
One of Auburn's new pro­grams
aimed at preventing
the situation described above
is entitled "Academic At­mosphere."
Its purpose is to
promote intellectual stimu­lation
and an interest in stu­dent
government by bringing
students and faculty into
closer contact. It is fallaci­ous
to assume that a person
can become educated simply
by attending classes and
memorizing notes. When the
learning process is restrict­ed
to the classroom, the stu­dent
not only acquires a very
small per centage of the pro­fessor's
knowledge but, even
worse, never knows the pro-fessor.
Outside-the-class-room
discussion is desperate­ly
needed at Auburn. The
problem is apparent; the dif­ficulty
lies in formulating a
practical, effective program
to cure the malady. This is
what the "Academic Atmos­phere"
committee hopes to
accomplish.
During the summer a small
group of students and faculty
members began planning for
Dormmotherus Niceus Ex-tremus:
This group held its
weekly meeting last Sunday
night in the middle telephone
booth in the Auburn Union.
Often seen quietly sitting in
her room except when she is
talking to her charges or their
dates, or both-always in a
friendly manner. Her dorm is
characterized by the presence
of smiling faces, busy
phones, and her weekends
are taken up chaperoning fra­ternity
house parties, hay-rides,
and the like. Weakness:
soft heartedness. Other cha­racteristics:
love of people
and their love of her; smil­ing
face; friendly greeting for
all.
the fall. Our first step will
be the establishment of a
campus coffee house where
students and faculty may
meet informally between and
after classes. We hope even­tually
to extend this idea to
faculty open houses, setting
aside a certain time fo the
week for interested faculty
members to host discussion
groups or informal gatherings
in their homes. Another pos­sibility
in regard to student-faculty
relations is the ins­tigation
of seminars featur­ing
members of the university
community to discuss and
debate controversial issues
of local, state, national, and
international interest.
A basic assumption of this
"Academic Atmosphere" pro­gram
is that, through faculty
interest and support, better
quality and continuity of our
programs will result. We are
particularly anticipating this
effect in regard to the Auburn
Conference on International
Affairs, which will be held
in February. Not only have
faculty members volunteered
valuable advice concerning
arrangements and contacts
with prominent lecturers, but
many have agreed to help us
make the topic of the con­ference
a subject for consi­deration
during the entire
academic year rather than
just the three days set aside
for the main event.
Another important area in
which better student-faculty
relations will be of benefit
is the teacher evaluation
program previously inaugu­rated.
A student-faculty com­mittee
is presently engaged
in constructive a more effect­ive
formula for administering
the program.
The greatest problem fac-
"Academic Atmosphere" is
expected to be the apathy of
many students and faculty
members, a problem which
any new project must over­come.
Through proper admin­istration
and public relations,
it is hoped that the evident
benefits of tne program will
arouse interest and support.

AU Branch:
Education-
Or Politics
By Ulike Bufkin
The Alabama Legislature,
in what seemed to be a be­nign
gesture toward educa­tion,
announced in Septembei
that they had appropriated $5
million for the establishment
of a new four-year college in
Montgomery,
to be run as
a branch
of Auburn.
Now $5 mil­lion
is a lot
of money,
and no doubt
many people
were pleased
that the Wal­lace
adminis­tration,
after holding back
funds all year, had at last
decided to fulfill some of
those election promises about
improving education.
So everybody is happy;
until perhaps, someone be­gins
to think about that fig­ure:
$5,000,000. Where was
the money when the legisla­ture
refused to increase ap­propriations
for Auburn and
Alabama on the : grounds
that there was insufficient
state income? Why Montgo­mery,
where there is already
one state supported school,
and not Huntsville, bigger,
faster growing, and more in-idustrialized?
But most impor­tant,
why build another state
supported college at all,
doomed to 20 years of sub-mediocrity,
if there i s n 't
enough money to support and
improve the ten already-existing
state schools?
One of these ten institu­tions
is actually located in
Montgomery-Alabama State
College, a predominantly
Negro school. If adequately
financed, and staffed with top
quality white and Negro per­sonnel,
Alabama State Col­lege
could more than fulfill
the need for a new college as
expressed by the Montgomery
Chamber of Commerce. In ad­dition
it would serve to im­prove
the quality of educa­tion
available to Negroes,
and begin a solution to one
of Alabama's gravest pro­blems.
The price of such a
program would be only a
fraction of the cost of a new
school and staff.
The new Auburn Branch
was apparently the result of
a hasty political decision
made without considering the
overall educational needs 01
the state. Instead of squan­dering
$5 million Oi; what ap­pears
to be a redundant and
unneeded establishment, the
money could be spent more
efficiently on improving
existing institutions, hope­fully
Auburn, or even primary
or secondary facilities. It
would be criminal to allow
political barrel-rolling to hin­der
Alabama's, until now, en­couraging
educational pro­gress.
The very existence of the
problem points up the neec
for a committee of non-politi­cal
citizens and educators U
plan and co-ordinate the de­velopment
of higher educa­tion
in Alabama. Such a com­mittee
could eliminate un­needed
repetition of effort
and damaging competition
between schools, allowing a
certain amount of specializa­tion
among the larger univer­sities.
Viewing the educa­tional
system as a whole, a
committee could insure that
the taxpayers would receive
the most equitable return for
their money and remove the
influence of political pres­sure,
which can only create
waste.
The legislature has made
provision for a 21-man educa­tional
commission, its mem­bers
appointed by the gover­nor
and lieutenant governor.
It is feasible that under this
commission could be estab­lished
a sub-committee on
higher education, and its
members appointed on the
aforementioned qualifica-tions.
While it is doubtful
that any organizations filled
by gubernatorial appointment
could be non-political, one
can hope that the administra­tion
will give special thought
to the needs of state higher
education and not to the
needs of political expediency.

Newman Ridicules
Senate Resolution
Editor, The Plainsman:
Hail to the Auburn Senate.
Those bright-eyed, bushy-tailed
intellectuals have
come to our rescue once again
and snatched us from the jaws
of depravity.
There we were (oh, horror),
playing that terrible song and
raising that awful flag at a
football game. How backward
we must have been. We stood
there (oh, shame) clapping
and shouting and cheering our
fool heads off while Bodie
Hinton's band played "Dixie"
and somebody raised the;
Stars and Bars. How shameful |
we must have looked.
But hail to the Auburn Se­nate.
They have come thunder­ing
to our rescue. They de­creed
that all this sectional
hogwash be put to an end.
Pronto!
How brilliant, we thought.
How stupid of us to cheer for
the South when we could be
cheering for the world or the
universe or such. How smart
those great senators are, we
told one another.
But, alas, at the very next
home game there we were do­ing
it again. Against the de­creed
decree of our brilliant,
progressive, and intellectually
oriented senate, somebody was
raising the Confederate flag.
How awful! I shudder to re­member
the awfulness of it.
Curses, I thought aloud.
Now we are surely doomed,
for the Senate has decreed...
Then before the Senate
could protest 28,000 strong
were on their feet clapping
and shouting (how pagan)
while Bodie Hinton's band
rocked to "Old times there
are not forgdtton..."
Our brilliant andprogressive
Senate was awed~(with every
.right to be, of course).Who did
Harry Philpott and Bodie Hin-ton
think they were? And those
28,000 rednecks who kept on
cheering. How dare they!
-There we were making a pub­lic
display of our awful sec­tionalism,
playing Dixie (oh,
no!) and even cheering the
song (oh, shame), and all this
directly against our Senate's
famous decree.
Now, Auburn, look at the fix
we've gotten ourselves into.
We're at odds with the Great
Society, the NAACP, the Un­iversity
of Alabama, and our
Senate doesn'tlike us anymore
I appeal to you, Auburn. We
must change our sectional
ways as our Senate decrees.
Of course, there is one ot­her
possibility. Next election
we could change the Senate a
little.
For the benefit of those
who prefer the latter course,
would the Plainsman be good
enough to print a list of the
12 student senators who voted
to have the Confederate flag
and "Dixie" removed from
Auburn pre-game activities.

Senate's Action
Pleases Student
Editor, the Plainsman:
I would like to commend the
student senate for its action
involving the Confederate
battle flag at football games.
I am very proud of my state's
heritage and that she stood
up for what she believed, but
she was defeated over 100
years ago. The following
poem, which I feel is very
appropriate, was published in
1879. The author. Father
Ryan, was a Catholic chap­lain
from Mobile in the Con­federate
Army. He is called
the "Poet-Laureate of the
Confederacy."
THE CONQUERED BANNER
Furl that Banner, for 'tis
weary;/Round its staff 'tis
dropping dreary;/ Furl it, fold
it, it is best;/ For there's not
a man to wave it,/ And there's
not a sword to save it;/ And
there's not one left to lave
it in the blood which heroes
gave it;/ And its foes now
scorn and brave it;/ Furl it,
hide it-let it rest.
Take that Banner down, 'tis
tattered;/Broken is its staff
and shattered;/ And the vali­ant
hosts are scattered,/ Over
whom it floated high./ Oh!
'tis hard for us to fold it;/
Hard to think there's none to
hold it;/Hard that those, who
once unrolled it,/ Now must
furl it with a sigh. |
Furl that Banner-furl it sad­ly;/
Once ten thousands hailed
it gladly,/ And ten thousands
wildly,madly,/Swore it should
forever wave;/ Swore that
foeman's sword should never/
Hearts like theirs entwined
dissever,/ Till that flag
should float forever/ O'er their
freedom, or their grave!
Furl it! for the hands that-grasped
it,/ And the hearts
that fondly clasped it,/ Cold
and dead are lying low:/ And
that Banner-it is trailing!/
While around it sounds the
wailing/Of its people in their
woe.
For, though conquered, they
adore it!/Love the cold, dead
hands that bore it!/ Weep for
those that fell before it!/
Pardon those who trailed and
tore it!/ But, oh! wildly they
deplore it,/ Now who furl and
fold it so.
Furl that Banner! True 'tis
gory,/ Yet 'tis wreathed
around with glory,/ And 'twill
l i v e in song and story,/
Though its folds are in the
dust;/ For its fame on bright­est
pages,/ Penned by poets
and by s a g e s , / Shall go
sounding down the ages-/
Furl its folds though now we
must.
Furl that Banner, softly,
slowly,/ Treat it gently-it is
holy-/ For it droops above
the dead./ Touch it not-un-fold
it never,/ Let it droop
there forever/ For its peoples
hopes are dead.
We are -in Alabama and
there is some reason to fly
the state flag at football
games, but this is not the
Confederacy.

Freshman Surprised
By Senate Stand
Editor, The Plainsman:
Upon reading the resolution
passed by the Student Senate
concerning the addition of the
songs, "Alabama" and "Dixie"
songs, "Alabama" and "Dixie"
to the pre-game football cere­monies,
I wondered: Yes, I
really wondered. I was very
much surprised at this action
because I naturally assumed
that the majority of Auburn
students felt as I do about the
matter. That is to say that
they were in favor of such pro -
cedure. In fact, I am still of
that opinion, and I am almost
sure that this letter is one of
many that will be written to
the Plainsman regarding the
Senate's resolution.
This resolution mentions the
fact that the students of Au­burn
University did not re­quest
this action. Frankly, I
just didn't think of it. Truly
the students did not request
it. We have not been asked
our opinion on the matter.
As for the sections regard­ing
private property rights,
local self-government, and
sectionalism, this is merely
"resolution filler" in my opin­ion.
I see no connection what­soever
between these subjects
and the request made by the
Alabama State Legislature. The
request is simply an express­ion
of sentiment for a great
heritage, a heritage that be­gan
with the birth of our na­tion.
I do believe in loyalty to
our country and to our insti­tution,
but I also believe in
an analogous loyalty toward
state and heritage.

SYMBOL DEPLETION
We've almost lost a good word, and we hate to see it go.
The movie industry may feel the same way about words such as colossal,
gigantic, sensational and history-making. They're good words-good sym­bols.
But they've been overused, and we tend to pay them little heed. Their
effectiveness as symbols is being depleted.
One of our own problems is with the word "opportunity." It's suffering sym­bol
depletion, too. It's passed over with scant notice in an advertisement.
It's been used too much and too loosely.
This bothers us because we still like to talk about opportunity. A position
at Collins holds great potential. Potential for involvement in designing
and producing some of the most important communication systems in
the world. Potential for progressive advancement in responsibility and
income. Unsurpassed potential for pride-in-product.
That's opportunity.
And we wish we could use the word more often.

the article stating the Sen­ate's

the abolishment of the state

at home football games. It is
my firm belief that the opinion
of the majority of the students
at Auburn stands in direct op­position
to the resolution.
I am an American and proud
of it; I am also a southerner
and am equally proud of that
fact. I resent the narrow-mind­edness
of certain individuals
who would make light of our
southern heritage due to their
own lack of pride in some­thing
which should be dear to
their hearts.
We are Americans and should
give the Stars and Stripes, a-long
with the national anthem
the reverence and respect they
entitle. We are also from the
greatest part of our wonderful
country, the South, and should
treat Dixie, along with the
Stars and Bars, with all of the
enthusiasm and love that they
deserve and represent.

Senate Action Termed
Serious Matter
Editor, The Plainsman:
I was concerned after read­ing
the article in The Auburn
Plainsman relating to the ac­tion
taken by the Auburn Uni­versity
Student Senate Oct. 2,
1967.
I would like to remind you
that it is a very serious mat­ter
when a creature of the
state attempts to override
action taken by the legal,
legislative representatives of
the state.
The action taken by the
Student Senate last Monday
night represents to me a clear
cut rejection of the authority
governing Auburn University.
No student or student organi­zation
in the state of Alabama
has the authority to determine
policy in matters involving a
public institution and the
state. There is no authority
under the Alabama Constitu­tion
or the Auburn University

this power.
The citizens of Alabama
and her legal representatives
will not t o l e r a t e for one
second of one hour of one day
the takeover of our schools'
administrative affairs by stu­dents.
Alabama has always
maintained strict control over
her public school system, and
she will never allow her cam­puses
to be desecrated and
disgraced in the manner that
has the University of Califor­nia
at Berkeley, University of
Michigan, Dartmouth College
and others.
I am of the opinion that if
the administration of Auburn
University does not take
swift and immediate action to
control the misuse of power
by students on the campus,
then the Legislature, the
Governor, and the Board of
Trustees should start looking
for some new administrators.
If you persist in this action
I am confident the majority of
the Auburn students will not
tolerate nor support such il­legal
measures.

Tigers Set For Clem son After Big Win
1966 ACC Champions
To Battle Auburn
At the beginning of this football season, Coach Frank
Howard reportedly looked upon his Clemson Tiger elever
as potential Atlantic Coast Conference champions. And
despite their back breaking schedule the boys from Death
Valley were regarded by many grid experts as candidates
for national ranking.
Clemson still has its ACC title hopes intact, having
routed Wake Forest in their
opener, but Georgia and
Georgia Tech ripped the
Tigers" on successive week­ends,
putting a crimp in Ho­ward'
s national plans.
Clemson faces the new
Look Auburn Tigers Saturday
in Cliff Hare Stadium intent
upon returning to winning form.
Stocked with 42 lettermen,
Clemson depends on quar­terback
Jimmy Addison for
offensive punch. The Fairfax,
Ala., stringbean sparkedClem-son
last year and amazed Ti­ger
fans with his pinpoint pas­sing
and slippery ball carrying.
He erased school records for
passes completed and yards
gained passing in 1966. But
this season, the 154-pounder
Clemson followers call "The
Needle," has been troubled
with a sore arm. He completed
only three passes in 17 attempts
and had two aerials intercep­ted
in the Tech loss. His re­placement,
sophomore Charlie
Waters, was two-for-six in the
game.
Clemson has an explosive
running attack featuring speed

A favorable Impression. . .
To hear Clemson Coach Frank Howard talk, he gives
the impression that he would like to return home and
face some good old Atlantic Coast Conference compe­tition.
After dropping two straight games to Georgia teams,
Howard is growing weary of outside competition.
"We've been beaten and bruised pretty bad," said
the colorful coach, "but we've gotten in our knocks
too."
The Tigers went into the fourth quarter, with a tie
against third ranked Georgia before falling to the Bull­dogs
by a 24-17 margin. Against Georgia Tech, Clem­son
was unable to muster much of an offense and was
shut out 10-0 by the Yellow Jackets.
"The Tech game was perhaps the toughest loss
we've ever had at Clemson. We really wanted the game
bad," added Howard.
Entering Saturday's game with Auburn, Howard is
a little apprehensive. "Auburn looked great last week.
I sure hope they don't score any 48 points against us
this week."
Saturday's game is considered a toss-up with Auburn
possibly having the home field advantage, but as How­ard
explains, "I've been favored before and lost and
have been the underdog and won. So being the favorite
in a game doesn't always mean that much.
"Auburn has the home field advantage and we have
three offensive starters out, but we are looking forward
to coming down there to play."
As for the Tigers they will be missing three starters
in offensive center Forrest Blue, • defensive end
Tommy Groat, and sidebaek Robert Fulghum.
Groat injured his knee in the Chattanooga game and
is out for the season. Fulghum is also out for the sea­son
after having suffered a broken leg against Kentucky
last week. Blue will miss the Clemson game, but
should be ready the following week against Georgia
Tech.
Offensive And Defensive. . .
After their terrific offensive and defensive show last
week the Tigers now lead the Southeastern Conference
in scoring by nearly 20 points.
Following a game in which a team wins as handily
as Auburn did against Kentucky, a team may have a
tendency to relax. Let's hope Auburn doesn't because,
as will be seen this Saturday, Clemson is a mighty
tough team to beat.
This week will afford a good judgement as to the
prowess of the defensive unit. Two top games have
been turned in by the defense. Chattanooga and Ken­tucky
obviously couldn't move the ball on them. Ten­nessee
was a different story.
The pride of the defensive team was hurt a great
deal by the beating they took from the Vols. Defensive
players and coaches claimed they weren't as bad as
they looked against Tennessee and were out to prove
it against Kentucky last week, and will no doubt at­tempt
to accomplish the same results against Clemson
this week.
Should the offensive and defensive units continue to
play as they did against Kentucky, Saturday's game
against Clemson could be most enjoyable to Auburn
fans. And most unenjoyable to Frank Howard.
Kentucky Shocked 48-7;
Point-Total Sets Record
Auburn quarterback Larry Blakeney put on a scramb­ling
offensive show against the Kentucky Wildcats
Saturday in Cliff Hare Stadium and led the Tigers to a
48-7 victory.

proceeded to put the game

of ball toting and passing,
He accounted for 202 total

11-yard ramble and flipping
touchdown aerials of 22
yards to Freddie Hyatt and
in yards to Mike Shows.
Blakeney hit on 9 of 15
pitches, as Hyatt, Shows and
Tim Christian chipped in with
an afternoon of sure-handed
receiving. Carter completed
five of seven, with fast Fred­die
on the catching end of a
70-yard scoring toss.
Auburn's 48 points are the
most ever scored in a single
game against an SEC oppo­nent.
The Tigers have scored
101 points in their first three
games, as compared to the 104
markers they managed all last
season.
The Tigers other touch­downs
came on a determined
one-yard plunge by tailback
Dwight Hurston, a 41-yard
punt return by sidebaek Jim­my
Carter and a six-yard pass
from third-string signal callei
Dwight Brisendine to tight
end Connie Frederick.
Kentucky scored in the first
quarter to take a short-lived
7-6 lead when do-everything
back Dickie Lyons stepped
out of an attempted shoe
string tackle and galloped
down a wall of pad-popping
blocks 71 yards to paydirt.
The Auburn d e f e n se
squashed all other Wildcat
efforts.

TECH-TENN
In a regionally televised
game, • Tennessee hosts
independent Georgia Tech at
Knoxville. The Volunteers
have had one week off to pre­pare
for this game while Tech
managed a 10-0 win over
Clemson Saturday. Whether or
not Dewey Warren plays, the
Vols will have a potent enough
attack to defeat the Yellow
Jackets by a touchdown.
LSU-MIAMI
The Hurricanes were highly
regarded in pre-season polls,
but as yet they have not
proved themselves with a 1-
2-0 record. LSU, however, has
won three straight, including
last week's impressive 37.6
victory over Florida. The
Bengals are a 10-point favo­rite
in their third home ap­pearance
in four games.

In a night game at the Sugar

the Tulane Green Wave.Quar­terback
Bobby Duhon is one
of the greatest in Tulane his­tory
and s h o u l d lead the

victory over Florida. The
Gators have pass-catching
Richard Trapp but not much
else, and they will lose their
second straight.
MISS STATE-USM
Last week's 7-3 upset of
Texas Tech was the first vic­tory
for new Mississippi State
Coach Charley Shira, but he
must now look toward South­ern
Mississippi. The Maroons
were a three-touchdown under­dog
as e v e r y t h i n g jelled
against Tech. The South­erners
gave Alabama a good
fight, but are not SEC caliber.
Newly found confidence will
help State make it two in a-row.
State by a touchdown.
GA-OLE MISS
In what could be the best
game of the day, Georgia
meets Ole Miss in Jackson.
Coach Johnny Vaught was dis­appointed
in his team's per­formance
against Alabama
last week. The Rebels will
be well prepared for Georgia,
but now well enough to win.
The Bulldogs defeated South
C a r o l i n a for their t h i rd
straight victory and Ole Miss
is the major stumbling block
on their way to the conference
title. Count on Georgia to win
by ten points.
ALABAMA-VANDY
The only other conference
game this Saturday pits Van-derbilt
against Alabama. Van-dy
has a 2-1 record thus far,
but has not played a confer­ence
game. Alabama is a 21
point favorite over the Com­modores.
The Tide always has
a tough game against Vandy,
but it is about time for Bear's
boys to explode with a 40
point effort.
AUBURN-CLEMSON
Forty-six lettermen had
Clemson fans optimistic, to
say the l e a s t , but Coach
Frank Howard's Tigers have
lost to Georgia and Georgia
Tech in their last two games.
Auburn's loss of sideback
Robert Fulghum will hurt, but
an improved offense such as
that which was displayed in
their 48-7 victory over Ken­tucky
will slacken the losses,
A lack of offense will be
Clemson's downfall as Auburn
will win by seven points.

advanced research within NSA's fully
instrumented laboratories.
MATHEMATICIANS define,
formulate and solve complex
communications-related problems.
Statistical mathematics, matrix algebra,
and combinatorial analysis are but a
few of the tools applied by Agency
mathematicians. Opportunities for
contributions in computer sciences and
theoretical research are also offered.
Continuing your Education?
NSA's graduate study program may
permit you to pursue two semesters of
full-time graduate study at full salary.
Nearly all academic costs are borne by
NSA, whose proximity to seven
universities is an additional asset.
Salaries and Benefits
Starting salaries, depending on
education and experience, range from
$8,000 to $13,500, and increases
follow as you assume additional
responsibility. Policies relating to
vacations, insurance and retirement are
liberal, and you enjoy the advantages
of Federal employment without Civil
Service certification.
Another benefit is the NSA location,
between Washington and Baltimore,
which permits your choice of city,
suburban or country living and allows
easy access to the Chesapeake Bay,
ocean beaches, and other summer and
winter recreation areas.

I By RICHARD WITTISH
When John Riley en-
5 tered the Tennessee-
| Auburn football game for
|; the second time two Sat-
H u r d a y" s ago, he was
8 faced with a profession-
I al-sized a s s i g n m e n t:
| kick a 46-yard field goal
I from a d i f f i c u l t angle
| and break a second quar-
| ter 7-7 tie.
p The non-scholarship
3 placement specialist from
P Abbeville booted the goal
:•:• and for a brief while the
*: Tigers led the Vols, 10-7.
•§ "When I went out there
•:•: I said a little prayer be-
1 fore I kicked, like I al-
| ways do, and it kind of
:•:• settled me down," said
% Riley.
MINOR PART
1 John described his part
§: in the score as a minor
6 one.
•:•: "The blocking was per-
I feet, the lineman opened a
1 hole right down the mid-
| die," said Riley. "The
:•:: center snap was real good,
:•:• Buddy McClinton did a
| fine job holding the ball,
S and everything was right.
£ I couldn't have done any?
•ji; thing without all that.
'$. "Making the kick gave
S me a real good feeling. I
I felt like I was helping out
| the team a little bit."
:£ John was feeling even
I better after striking on a
I 44-yardernear the close of
I the half, a kick which
| brought Auburn within one
I point of the boys from Big
|; Orange Country, 14-13.
Women's Intramurah
That placement upped
the sophomore's field goal
total for the season to four.
Riley slammed in kicks
from 25 and 30 yards out
in a two-for-three perfor­mance
against Chattanooga
in Cliff Hare Stadium Sept.
23.
The 19-year-old from
the Wiregrass has also
made 10 of 12 extra points
attempts. And John has
kept enemy kickoff return­ers
deep in their end zones
with consistently long de­liveries.
His booming kickoffs
won Riley a considerable
amount of attention in the
1967 A-Day Game. Until
then John's accomplish­ments
were limited to a 30-
yard field goal against the
Alabama freshmen.
Encouraged by his per­formance
in the annual
intra-squad clash, Riley
decided to practice through­out
the summer and try out
for the varsity in the fall.
He edged out Jimmy
Jones, a competent junior
kicker, for- the first team
spot during the opening
weeks of drills.
COMPETITION
Riley and Jones have
developed a friendly com­petition
that insures Au­burn
of top-flight kicking.
The pair assist each other
during workouts, pointing
out mistakes and making
suggestions.
Speciality workouts last
about 20 minutes per prac­tice
day, according to

Volleyball
Gets Going
By LINDA NUNNELY
Volleyball l e a g u e play got under way this week.
Games are played Monday through Thursday in Alumni
Gym at 4 and 5:15 p.m. Luck and skill are combining to
make the games fun and exciting too.
The Co-Rec Volleyball single elimination tournament
begins Monday. Teams must
be turned in to the WIA
office (Alumni Gym) by to­morrow.
Since Co-Rec ac­tivities
do not count toward
the Participation Trophy, any
three boys and three girls
may form a team. Games will
be scheduled on Monday and
Thursday nights in Alumni
Gym.
Table tennis and shuffle-board
entires for both singles
and doubles tournaments are
due by tomorrow. The game
schedule will be posted by
Monday.
There is more news on the
track and field meet to be
held in mid-November* Each
participant may enter only
two individual events and one
relay. So be picking out your
speciality, girls, and begin
practicing now.

Freeman, who tutors Tiger
quarterbacks and place
kickers. Each kicker boots
the ball for 10 minutes,
starting with extra points,
then moving to various
distances and angles for
field goal drills. The
placement men also prac­tice
kicking under pressure
during full speed drills.
LOTS OF HELP
"Coach Freeman has
helped me' a lot," said
Riley. "He explains mis­takes
in a way that's easy
to understand."
Freeman takes little
credit for his part in
Riley's success.
"John has a very power­ful
leg snap and tremen­dous
power of concentra­tion,"
said Freeman. "He
goes into the ball game
with one thing on his mind,
kicking the ball through
the uprights.
ATTITUDE
"The most important
thing about John,.though,
is his attitude. He has a
burning desire to do his
job as a kicker. And he's
a well-mannered and ex­tremely
coachable boy."
Riley's attitude accounts
for his present varsity sta­tus.
John came to Auburn
without a scholarship, but
"decided to try out for the
freshman team."
"After making up my
mind to do that I wouldn't
have been satisfied unless
I did," he said.
Riley was an all-confer- •:
ence center for Abbeville •;
High School. He remembers :j
kicking only one field goal ji
before coming to the :•
Plains. j:
"I kicked a 30-yarder in j::
a game during my senior :|:
year," said Riley. "It was :j:
late in the game and we :•:
were leading by a big |
score. Our offense bogged :•:
down and the coach let me :•:
kick just for the heck of *
it." |
"RAT"
Riley has picked up a jlj
nickname, and from all £
indications, it will stick, -i;
Every time Buddy Rut- •:•
ledge, the Auburn Football :j:
Network's play-by-play j.
announcer, mentioned John :•:
Saturday, it was "Rat" :j:
Riley. John has no idea •:•
how the nickname origi- •;•
nated. j>
"Everybody on the team;-;
has a nickname," said the£
b u s i n e s s administrationS
major, "and I guess that's:?
mine from now on." S
NO SCHOLARSHIP
John will have to wait '•$
until August for a scholar- 8
ship, since this is the 8
earliest date a grant-in-aid 8
can be given. :•:•
"I hope I can win a 8.
scholarship," said Riley, 8.
"but right now I just want g
to do a good job." :•:•
By August Auburn sports 8
fans may be referring to 8
John Riley as "Mighty 8,
Rat." :£
Frosh Set Sights on Gators
"One of the most en­thusiastic
groups I've ever
coached." With these
words, Coach Tom Jones
will send 55 freshmen on
to their college gridiron
debut against the Florida
frosh Oct. 16.
The Baby Tigers will at­tempt
to put a little shine on
the freshman football image
after the disappointing 0-4
record of 1966. Coach Jones
says this year's team, with­out
exception, has a winning
attitude.
Despite injuries to Ronnie
Ross, John Ray Cobb, Johnny
McDonald, Mike Mcharg, and
a rash of sprained ankles,
sprained wrists, and twisted
knees, Coach Jones hopes to
field a healthy team by game
time.
QUARTERBACKS
Quarterbacks are plentiful
on this year's squad. Mike
Kelley Tommy Traylor, and
Rick Eisenacher are fighting
for the No. 1 spot.Mickey
Zofko and Scott Blackmon
are close behind but have
been hindered by slight in­juries.
They will be throwing to a
host of receivers including
Alvin Bresler, Billy Erwin,
Larry Willingham, Ken Wah-lers,
Doug Brasse, and Dick
Schmalz. Coach Jones is not
too pleased with the running
game. Wallace Clark from
Trion, Ga. has been the most
impressive runningback thus
far, but the load can not be
carried by one man.
Both offensive and de­fensive
interior lines lack
depth. Coach Jones and his

At 9:45 P.M. EST on February 27, a Pan-American Boeing 727 jetliner
with 98 passengers on board made a fully automatic landing at John
F. Kennedy Airport in New York — the first operational automatic
landing in the history of aviation in the United States.
Sperry Flight Systems Division participated as a member of the
Boeing-Sperry engineering team which made this event possible. Our
SP-50 Automatic Flight Control System played a key role. It put the
Boeing 727 down "smooth as a feather." less than four feet to the
right of the runway's center line under conditions of snow and fog —
with a crosswind of twelve knots.
This is just another reason why Sperry Flight Systems Division is
recognized as the leader in the development of Flight Control Sys­tems
and Flight Instruments and Displays. Our engineering team is
second to none.

Artist Displays Works In Bradley Lounge
By SHIRLEY KARSTENS
An art exhibit by Maltby
ykes, professor of art here,
s being features in Bradley
jounge of the Union Build-ng
through Oct. 14.
On display are paintings,
Irawings, and prints exe-uted
by Sykes during the
»ast 12 months under a Sab-a
t i c a l Award from the
National Foundation on the
\rts and Humanities under
Research Grant-in-Aid.
Jykes was one of 50 teach­ers
selected for grants by the
National Foundation last year
and the only artist from the
Southeast to receive the
award;, •
Sykes has been a member
of the Auburn Art Department
acuity since 1942, except for
nilitary service in the 20th
Air Force in World War II as a
combat artist. During his sab-
>atical year, he traveled in
lorthern Europe. Subject mat­er
from England and Scandi-avia
is reflected in much of
lis work.
A number of prints demon-trating
new printing tech-iques
developed by Sykes as
art of his grant project are
Dn display, including multi-netal
lithograph plates manu-actured
for industry and put
o usage in fine arts print-naking.
Sykes believes that the
abbaticalprogram was of real
/alue; as he was given a

jreativity as well as to be-iome
more familiar with the
echniques of other artists.

that he observed In his travels
throughout Europe. Sykes com­mented,
"Although physical
space and f a c i l i t i e s are
limited at Auburn. I believe
that we have an excellent de­partment
and turn out some
fine students." He cited that
one of his former students is
a member of the faculty of
England's Bath Academy, one
of the most progressive art
schools in the world. Sykes
spent five months of last
year's sabbatical working in
the graphic arts there.
Sykes stated that he is
interested in contemporary art
mainly as "a projection of
social attitudes," although
some has influenced his own
works. He pointed out the art
of today has disadvantages
for the young art student:'
"With art changing as quickly
today as women's fashions, it
is difficult and bewildering
for the art student to see
through it to the permanent
fundamentals which he must
learn to use."
Sykes advises college art
students of today to form their
own style and conclusions
about art. "To be himself is
the most important but proba­bly
the hardest thing for to­day's
art student to remem
ber," he noted.
Sykes studied in New York
with Wayman Adams and John
Sloan; in Mexico with Diego
Rivera; and in France with
Fernand Leger, Stanley Hay-ter
and Andre Lhote. He was
mural a s s i s t a n t to Diego
Rivera on four frescoes in
Mexico City, and as an ap­prentice
in lithography to
GeorgeC. Miller in New York.
Internationally known as a

Mora Conducts Heart Research
By LINDA GREENE
Through the lens of an Auburn laboratory microscope,
it is possible to see a living embryonic heart beating. Or
in the same lab one can watch a film of a simulated
"heart attack" in immature heart cells.
Dr. Emilio C. Mora, associate professor in poultry
science, is in charge of heart research being done here.
He and several of his graduate students are studying the
response of embryonic hearts and isolated single heart
cells to certain antibodies. They hope to find exactly
how specific antibodies alter the heart cell and it's func­tion.
Included in the study is the effect of virus infec­tions,
such as smallpox, polio, and measles viruses on
the developing heart.
Work on this particular project has been underway since

1962 at Auburn.The research is supported by the Alabama
Heart Association and the American Heart Association
with regular experiment station support.
Dr. Mora explained that although chick embryo hearts
are used in the research, the findings are applicable to
all other biological areas, including humans. At the cell­ular
level, it makes no difference what animal's heart
cells are used. The results are valid for all animals.
ANTIBODIES USED
Specifically, this area of the research involves the
study of isolated or single cells. Through the use of
antibodies against the heart, the researchers are able to
induce a reaction that is biochemically simular to cer­tain
heart attacks in humans.
In addition to inducing the "heart attack" in the is­olated
cells, they have been able to induce the reaction
in intact primative hearts and mature hearts.
One of the goals of this re search, according to Dr. Mora
is to determine whether antibodies bould be the cause of
certain heart diseases in humans. If such is the case,
these antibodies would have been produced by some quirk
reaction in the body, the cause of which is yet unknown.
It is known that certain antibodies produced by the body
cause certain diseases. For instance, some forms of
arthritis, goiter, certain central nervous system diseases,
and some blood disorders are due to an antigen-antibody
reaction. These antibodies are called "auto-antibodies."
"It is as if we are allergic to ourselves," said Dr. Mora.
REASON UNKNOWN
Although it is known that certain diseases are caused
by antibodies, the reason for the production of the anti­bodies
is still unknown. Researchers are trying to find
why antibodies are produced.
Two other research areas in Dr. Mora's lab include
(1) growing bone marrow cells and culturing white blood
cells in a test tube, and (2) infecting them with various
types of viruses in order to study how white blood cells
react to virus infections. The reaction is not the came as
it is with bacterial infections.
Specifically, Dr. Mora and his graduate students are
studying the production of interferon by white blood cells.
Interferon is a potent inhibitor of virus infections.
Recently a large pharmaceutical house announced that
they have a way of inducing the production of interferon.
They hope that the substance can be used in the control
of viral infections of the very young and the very old.
This shows the future importance of interferon.
NEW VIRUS SOURCE
The other area of research involves the cultivation or
propagation of viruses on fish cells. One student, Juan
Solis, is able to propagate numerous human and avian
viruses on the cells. This technique (of viruses on fish
cells) will make available a new source of viruses for
vaccine production or for basic studies in the nature of
"what is a virus and how does it multiply?"
After visiting the laboratory, one is impressed with
the nature and importance of Dr. Mora's research .
Dr. Mora received his B.S. from the University of New
Mexico, his M.S. from New Mexico State University, and
his Ph.D. from Kansas State University in microbiology
and biochemistry.
In 1966, Dr. Mora was invited to London to present a

a nonprofit, education­al
organization which pre­pares
and administers this
testing program.
New dates for the testing
of prospective teachers are:
Feb. 3. April 6, and July 6.
1968. The tests will be given
at nearly 500 locations through­out
the United States, ETS
said.
Results of the National
Teacher Examinations are
used by many large school
districts as one of several
factors in the selection of
new teachers and by several
states for certification or
licensing of teachers. Some
colleges also re quire all sen­iors
preparing to teach to take
the examinations.
Leaflets indicating school
systems and state depart­ments
of education which use
the examination results are
distributed to colleges by
ETS.
Prospective teachers should
contact the school systems in
which they seek employment,
or their colleges, for specific
advice on which examinations
to take and on which dates
they should be taken. -
A Bulletin of Information
containing a list of test cen­ters,'
and information about
the examinations, as well as
a Registration Form, may be

officers, school person­nel
departments, or directly

Hi!
WHAT IS ITS SIGNIFICANCE?
Beverly Basick,
Oept. of Anthropology
Z& Archetypical.
The ritual of the Midnight Pudding Snack is
well established in primitive societies. Since
Shake-A Pudd'n does not require refrigeration,
it lends itself to use in dormitories (surely one
of the most primitive societies), thereby
fulfilling this basic, instinctual human drive
at the precise moment it arises.
Harry Holesome,
Dept. of Health Education
The American Dream come true.
Shake-A Pudd'n combines healthful nutrition,
bracing exercise and, above all, Good Clean Fun.
An essential part of the Physical Fitness Program.
Francine Factor,
Dept. of History
Of tremendous historical significance.
Had Shake-A Pudd'n been discovered in the
18th Century, the French Revolution would
probably never have taken place when it did.
Marie Antoinette's famous remark, "Let 'em eat
cake," would no doubt have been transformed
to "Let 'em eat pudd'n," thereby appeasing
the masses for at least another century.
Sylvia Cimbill,
Dept. of Psychology .
Truly Freudian.
Powder and water are mixed in a cup, an
obviously mammalian formation, seen on a
deeper level as Mother. One shakes the cup, in a
desperate but futile attempt to shake off the
inhibiting Superego and free the primitive Id.
Michael Media,
Dept. of Sociology
„ A true product of the Electric Age.
Shake-A Pudd'n has transformed a fragmented,
time-consuming, mechanical task into
an almost instantaneous, totally involving
experience. Definitely "cool." Although
equally good at room temperature.

If you plan to give a diamond this Christmas... now is the time for you to invest a little time in
learning a few facts regarding diamonds. Unless you have more money than you have time...you
can hardly afford to buy without learning these basic facts. The old fashion method of selecting a
diamond by price alone is a luxury you can harldy afford.
For over twenty years Ware's loose Diamond System has proven itself as an ideal system to make your
diamond dollar do its utmost to give you the finest most beautiful diamond possible in your price
range.
How does it work? Simple! As a member of the American Gem Society we are in a position to give
you the information regarding diamond grading and pricing that you must have in order to wisely
select your loose diamond. We not only can explain this to you, but we have all the American Gem
Society equipment to grade and weigh every stone so that nothing is left to chance.
Once your stone is selected the mounting style is next. Our stock includes over 200 mountings
styles by Orange Blossom, Gomez, Jabel and Art Carved. We have a jewelry manufacturing depart­ment
that is equal of any in Alabama. All our ring manufacture and stone setting is done in
our store so that we may watch every step in your "tailor made ring."
Diamond guarantee, future trade in, term payments? We would like to tell you our story.
But how about the price? Students from over 161 towns in 18 states purchased diamonds on Ware's
Loose Diamond System in 1966. Do you think they would have used this system if they could have
made a better purchase back home.
Why not investigate Ware's Loose Diamond System soon?

Angi's One Wish—
Return To Vietnam
By JEAN FORD
"If I could have one wish in the world, it would be to
go back to Vietnam."
This wish was expressed by an Auburn coed shortly
after her return from Southeast Asia'on a good-will trip
to entertain American troops stationed in Vietnam.
Angi Grooms, an Auburn senior and 1966 Miss Ala­bama,
traveled through American camps in Vietnam with
five other former Miss America candidates.
The courage and dedication of the men she met had a
profound effect on Angi, and this more than anything
else prompted her wish to return. "The trip to Vietnam
was sacred: everything before or since seems insigni­ficant,"
she said, "After seeing how well those Ameri­can
soldiers in Vietnam are supporting our country, my
most valued possesion is being an American."
NO PITY ASKED
Angi recalls the men with a smile and says proudly,
"Not one of the approximately 85,000 men we met sought
pity or voiced a complaint over their situation."
Angi's troupe made many visits to Army field hospi­tals
and even there, they found the American GI in good
spirits. "It was hard not to feel sorry for these men,
most of whom were wounded seriously," Angi recalls.
"But you have to be cheerful, because the men them­selves
don't want pity; they appreciate a smile more than
condolences."
One young soldier whom Angi met in a Saigon hospital
will always remain in her memory. He had been wounded
the day before and his right leg had been amputated.
When Angi asked him how he was feeling, he said with
a brave grin, "Oh I'll be fine as soon as this bum leg
stops hurting."
Though the dangers of war were all around the enter­taining
girls, humorous occurences seemed to be more
than happenstance.
"The morale is kept high because the men have not
lost their sense of humor," Angi said. "Humorous inci­dents
greeted us everywhere, and we were thankful for
them."
When the feminine group arrived in Da Nang, they
found the Marines there had constructed a completely
new latrine bearing the title "Miss America" over the
door.
In Qui Non, an Air Force installation, the men sur­prised
Angi with her own personal recept
