Study group to discuss disciplinary policies
$ Auburn University's policy on student conduct and
jil disciplinary procedure will be examined by a joint stu-
| dent-faculty group appointed this week by Student Body
& Vice-President Jimmy Fuller. The group consists of one
$ administrative official, three faculty members, a local
§ minister, and six students.
| Fuller said that Pres. Harry M. Philpott opposes any
1 basic changes in Auburn's disciplinary policies. Said
j§ Fuller, "He has said that there will be no major changes,
•§ and he has the final word."
f: "Nevertheless," Fuller said, "we will discuss all
* aspects of policy and procedure here. I hope that out of
j§: the discussion may come some short-range improvements,
4 however minor they may be, and that groundwork be laid
i for more basic changes in the future."
I Dr. Floyd H. Vallery, assistant to the president and
| administrative participant in the study group, said "I am
I sure that the Men's Discipline Committee will be pleased
to participate in the dialogue and will give careful con­sideration
to any feelings expressed in the study group
discussions." Vallery is chairman of the Men's Dis­cipline
Committee.
Fuller enumerated several questions which he expects
the study group to examine.
What exactly should the university's responsibility for
and jurisdiction over student conduct be?
"Generally speaking," said Fuller, "I think that the
university's present policy and attitude are too pater­nalistic.
I know of several cases in which students have
broken a law in a city some distance from Auburn and
have faced disciplinary action by the university in addi­tion
to the action of the local authorities. I think that in
such cases the university may have violated the stu­dents'
Constitutional right to immunity from double jeo­pardy
(.Standing trial twice for the same violation). Fur­ther,
I don't think the university should feel responsible
for or should have jurisdiction over student conduct off
the campus or outside the academic community."
"In addition, many off-campus violations by students
in Auburn or in a faraway city go unnoticed by the uni­versity.
City authorities are not required to report vio­lations
to the university. I don't think it's fair for the
university to prosecute the few who may be unfortunate
enough to get caught by the university."
What i s "conduct unbecoming an Auburn student?"
Should this be grounds for university action against a
student?
Included in the list of violations in the Tiger Cub is
' 'Conduct. out of harmony with the standards of good
society or conduct unbecoming an Auburn student-stu­dents
who fail to show proper respect for good order,
morality, integrity, and the rights of others, or who fail
to observe the ordinary and usually accepted social
customs and usages will be subject to disciplinary »
action. . . . " •:•:
"I do not believe that the university should have this :§
general, vague jurisdiction for taking disciplinary action g
against a student. It gives the university too much lati- |
tude for action. Just about anything, perhaps refusing to fy
yell "War Eagle" at a football game, could be termed con- |
duct unbecoming an Auburn student. Of course, nobody $
would punish a student for that; but according to the «
present conduct rules, the university could. So the dan- «
ger of abuse is there. With a little more explicit defini- ;•:;
tion, however, the danger would be eliminated and the g
university's ends would be served also." :•:•:
Should any degree of disciplinary action taken by the g
university, minor or major, be listed on a student's per
manent record? £
According to the Tiger Cub, four degrees of punish- §S
ment can now be administered: reprimand, probation, s u s - g

Proposals required higher grades;
initiation rule to be reconsidered
By BRUCE GILLILAND
The Interfraternity Council has rejected three propo­sals
aimed at improving the scholastic performance of
Auburn fraternities.
The first proposed rule change, which would require
all pledges to attain a mini
mum of a .6 grade point
average to remain pledged to
a fraternity, was defeated
by a large margin.
A proposal to raise the
grade requirements for initi­ation
from a 1.0 to a 1.2
failed by two votes to gain
the three-fourths vote need­ed
for approval, according to
Steve McMillan, IFC presi­dent.
A third proposed change
that would place a fraternity
on scholastic probation for
failure to meet the all men' s
average three consecutive
quarters was also rejected
by a close vote. Scholastic
probation would come under
the same rules that apply to
social probation.
The initiation require­ment
rule change will be re­ferred
back to the Scholastic
Committee for further consid­eration
next quarter. Several
members attending last Tues­day's
meeting were very much
in favor of the proposal.
Representatives of fraterni­ties
that require higher grade
point averages for initiation
felt that the rule would have
a definite advantage.
"The proposed rule would
have served as an individual
incentive for the Ifraternity
brothers as well a's the
pledges," said Jack Mills
of Phi Gamma Delta."In my

opinion, if a fraternity can't

Jimmy Fuller, IFC treas­urer,

didn't pass."
At the same time, however,
Fuller spoke out against the

Private women's phones
'favored' by committee
By LYN SCARBROUGH
Assistant Editor
A joint student-adminis­tration
committee is ex­pected
to recommend to
President Philpott before
March 1 that private tele­phones
be installed in
women's dormitory rooms.
W. T. Ingram, University
business manager, says com­mittee
members are "defi­nitely
in favor" of telephone
installation. However, he
says it "all boils down to
financial arrangements in the
analysis."
Ingram says the committee
will "probably meet late next
week" to discuss all as­pects
of the situation and
approve suggestions to sub­mit
to Philpott. The com­mittee
has met twice pre­viously,
once with telephone
company representatives.

authorities if a de­cision
is made on private

near future, phones could be
Tenth conference begins Wednesday
Lehmann, Mulgrue speeches open ACOIA
By JIMMY REEDER
'Dr. Paul Lehmann and
George Mulgrue will open
the 1968 Auburn Conference
on International Affairs
Wednesday afternoon.
Dr. Lehmann, professor of
systematic theology at Union
Seminary, will deliver the
keynote address at 2 p.m. His
topic will be "The Church's
Role in the Human Rights
Struggle."
Mulgrue is information liai-'
son officer for the Food and
Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations. His ad­dress
at -3 p.m. is titled
"Third World."
LEHMANN'S TOPIC
Lehmann will talk on the
church' s activities in the
drive for human rights. ' 'Paul
Lehmann's name has been as­sociated
with this part of
the ministry for some time,
and we feel he will make a
vital contribution to the con-to
the conference," said Sam
Phillips, ACOIA chairman.
Mulgrue has been con­cerned
with food and popu­lation
problems in his work
with the Food and Agricul­ture
Organization. His dis­cussion
of the human rights
of food and shelter should
help reach the conference
goals, according to Phillips.
(See related story page 8)
Theme of this year's
ACOIA is "The International
Year for Human Rights."
The special observance has
been proclaimed by the Uni­ted
Nations to celebrate the
20th anniversary of the
adoption of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
INFORMAL DINNERS
This year's conference
will feature a series of lunch­eons
and dinners at various
fraternity houses designed
to give students a better op­portunity
to talk informally
with conference speakers.
Question and answer ses­sions
will be held in sorori­ty
chapter rooms for four
of the speakers.
This year's ACOIA bro­chure
will be larger than in
past years. It will be in the
form of a 36-page magazine
featuring a special photo sec­tion.
Other noted speakers for
the conference include Sen.
Mark Hatfield of Oregon, Whit­ney
Young, executive direc­tor
of the National Urban
League and Dr. John Stoess-inger,
political affairs direc­tor
of the United Nations.
Michael Arnon and George
Tomeh will present opposing
sides of the Arab-Israeli con­flict.
Tomeh is Syrian ambas­sador
to the UN. Arnon is
in use by September, 1969.
"We have received esti­mates
from the telephone
company and we are now
faced with working out a
budget," Ingram said. "When
we present recommendations
to the president, they will be
complete with information
about installation costs and
monthly rental charges."
Recommendations will al­so
be given on which dormi­tories
will receive phones and
whether or not they will be
mandatory.
Ingram said recommenda­tions
will be given to Phil­pott
"as soon after the meet­ing
as we can have them pre­pared."
He said the latest
date they will be presented is
March 1.
There has DJ en some spec­ulation
that President Philpott
may make his final decision
on the telephone suggestions
by the March 15 Board of
Trustees meeting.
"The Board usually ap­proves
requests for changes
in fees," Ingram said.
"Since telephone installation
would obviously cause a room
rate increase, it may be that
the president would choose
to make a decision by the

2-THE PLAINSMAN Thursday, February 15, 1968
So Wallace is running
We
"No," George Wallace told The Plainsman Tuesday,
"it doesn't concern me that a poll in a national maga­zine
says national conservative leaders don't support
my candidacy. Who are they talking about? Two-hundred
people out of 200 million?" That's the trouble. They
think they're the leaders. You got a fellow named Buck­ley.
. . with his hair sticking out back here and carrying
on, going to all those college campuses. . . he's egotis­tical,
ill-mannered. . .despises the South, by the way.
You ought to have heard what he said about Southerners
when I was on a program with him. He thinks he's the
fountainhead of conservatism. Well, who's he? He ran
for office and didn't even get enough votes to count. So
who are these conservative leaders that this magazine
is talking about? Are they talking about those 107,000
people out in California who signed up? They don't call
- them leaders, but who is it that elects people?"
THROUGH THE DARKWOOD DOOR
Only moments before, the big dark wood door, had
, swung open, the quick hands had pulled off his black-rimmed
intellectual-looking glasses; and there was the
handshake, the introduction, the opening courtesy.
And there was quiet, serious talk about Mrs. Wal­lace's
health-'Tm doing what she wants me to do.
She'd worry more if we hadn't declared for the Presidency
than she will now that we have. 'We promised the people,'
I'm going to keep that promise."
Then he was talking almost non-stop about the Wallace
campaign situation.
"No, I don't have any plans at all if we don't win the
the race. . . I don't plan to run for office in Alabama. . .
in fact, I'm not going to," ending with emphasis the
talk about losing.
And what plans does he have if he wins?
"Some of the newspapers in this state have been
asking 'What does Wallace know about foreign policy?"*
the former governor continued. "But I ask what does
the government we have had know about foreign policy.
We've had four world wars in 50 years. They have been
saying every year now that the war in Vietnam is going
tp be over.
"Maybe we ought to try a common sense approach. I'd
talk strong to our allies in Europe and in Asia. I'd say,
'You're going to help us!' We're not going to be your
nuclear shield against communist aggression and have
you not help us. We're not going to drain our blood and
treasure and man-power defending Asia from communist
aggression by ourselves," he said. "We defended Eur­ope
from aggression twice."
"If they aren't going to help us then we ought to start
asking them to start paying back some of the money they
owe us. . . if they aren't still getting aid.
"I'd cut off foreign aid to those nations in Asia who
L. - ISSoIwPlJLSOlJJT^S^
"Next thing we ought to do-and I'm offering no simple
solutions; there are no simple solutions to it because
there are diplomatic and political considerations. But we
ought to try.to win the war in Vietnam militarily and
then get out/* Wallace continued.
' 'I think we ought to lean heavily on the joint chiefs
of staff. I wouldn't abdicate civilian responsibility; but
I'd lean heavily on them."
As for domestic problems, Wallace had this to say.
' 'I certainly would be willing to sit down with Negro
leaders to try to iron out problems. I've met with Negro
leaders before in this state. We had Negro leaders sup­porting
my wife. Negroes are citizens of this country,
and I'm going to be President of all the people."
"I'm not going to sit down and work out any conces­sions
to people so they'll quit burning something down.
I'm going to call for law enforcement. You can't solve a
problem in a disorderly society.
"And when any newspaper says we must remove the
cause of the riots, that newspaper is saying there was a
cause to burn the city down. There's no cause that
exists in this country to bring about the destruction of
the internal security of the United States. There's no
cause except criminality, activists, militants, Commun­ists
and revolutionaries. The overwhelming majority of
the Negro people are against it as much as you and me.
There has been speculation about what Wallace ex­pects
to gain from this Presidential race.
"I'm not trying to gain anything for myself person­ally,"
said the former governor. "I'd be happy if one
of the two national parties had listened to the attitude
of the people in this country. You young fellows pro­bably
don't see it much on the college campus, but the

mass of people in this country are tired. And when you
get older and have some children, you're going to changp
some of your ideas about schooling and everything else.
"I expect to gain a voice. . . for the people in this
country who are tired of this elite pseudo-intellectual
cult of government that we find influenced by some
preachers, some professors, and some judges.
"One reason our country has been great," Wallace
continued, "is that the intellectuals have never run it
like they do in some European countries. The people
have run this country. The people. . . have decided mat­ters
and their collective judgement in most instances
has been good. And if it doesn't turn out to be good,
then they know they're to blame. I mean they voted for
the wrong person, or they didn't vote. That is a factor
that is good in our country.
"WE NEED INTELLECTUALS"
"I'm not reflecting on the intellectual community
now," he interjected. "We need intellectuals. I'm talk­ing
about pseudo intellectuals.
''A;psetado-intellectualY' he explained, Vis.a false
intellectual. He is a man who sits up in an ivory tower
and writes a guideline to tell me where to send my
child to school," the former governor says. "He is a
federal judge. Judge Johnson, he's a pseudo-intellectual.
He's really not an intellectual. And the professors in
colleges who marched in the Selma parade. And the col­lege
professor who led the assault against me at Dart­mouth
saying, 'Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!' He's a
man who is always talking about violence, and he's
against the Vietnam War, and he's a pacifist. But , he
wanted to kill me."
As for his opposition, Wallace thinks the Republicans
will nominate either Rockefeller or Nixon.
"Ain't1 either one of them tolerable if Wallacedoesn't
win. The Republican Party's going to have a platform
about like the Democratic Party platform, and the indi­vidual
must run embracing the party platform. So you
can' t .pick out an individual and say you'11 be for him.
"We know what the platform is going to be like,"
Wallace added, "from the pronouncements of Romney,.
Rockefeller, Warren, Javits, Kuchel, Case. They're just
as liberal as Senator McCarthy-but I don't like terms.
I don't know what you mean by them. Some people that
are conservatives mean complete reactionariism, and
you've got some folks in the conservative field that
are against everything from Social Security to providing
additional money for the treatment of mental patients.
"Well I'm not one of those conservatives and never
have beeiu But then, of course, I'm not one of those
liberal left-wingers, who wants the government to write
a guideline for Auburh like they do," he raced on.
FEDS AND TAXES
"And now they've gone into the tax field. They say
the state ought to do so and so. The state ought not to
do it. . . the cure the federal government offers is worse
that the ill. It's alright for someone in this state to run
for election on changing the tax structure, but why have
the federal courts got to step in and take over Alabama's
ad valorem tax structure."
And who does he think he'll hurt most?"
"We're going to hurt the national Democrats in the
industrial areas of the North and in the South. In Cali­fornia,
one network reported that most of our support
came from traditionally Democratic voters," he ex­plained.
"But what difference does it make," Wallace asked,
"to the people of our region which one of the major
parties I hurt? The election of the Republican Party
wouldn't change anything that's happened in Alabama
today-our local government especially. It's just swap­ping
tweedle-dum for tweedle-dee."
And about the people who have been working in the
campaign as well as in the state government, Wallace
had this to say.
"My wife ran for governor, and she said 'if you elect
me, my husband is going to continue this movement to
wake the people up in the country.' And so all we were

doing was going all over the country like we said. I
couldn't go by myself. And then when we announced the
other night my campaign workers came off the state
payroll. Does Romney take all his people off the pay­roll?
Does the President take all of his cabinet officers
off?
"These state people were really needed here, but we
just had to stretch. They worked up here at night when,,
we came back. They'd fly back here and stay on Sunday.
They gave up their vacation last summer, and they're
going to give it up this summer. They're looking for-'
ward to it. We had administrative assistants working out
there that made cabinet officials have to work on Satur- "
day and Sunday. But the state's business wasn't ne-neglected."
AND THE NEWS MEDIA
And what of the news media now?
"Well, the news media respect us more now. They
used to write us off as racists down here, but then my
wife got most of the Negro vote in the general election.
They couldn't understand that.
"Like the newsman in California, for example, asking
me 'Have you moderated your views any? Governor Mad-,
dox has,' he said, And I said, 'I don't know about Gov­ernor
Maddox. You'll have to ask him about that. (But
I have changed my position on many things because I'm
a human being, and i„make errors. But basically I hav­en't
changed my view* since I entered state politics.)
You just haven't been listening in the past. You've just
written us off because we're Southerners and rednecks,
fascists and hate-mongers, and racists... because you
couldn't argue against the logic of our position."

CHOICE '68 gives
students chance
to show preference
By LYN SCARBROUGH
Assistant Editor
CHOICE 68, a national col­legiate
presidential straw
poll, will be in conjunction
with student government and
publication elections April 18
Both elections had pre­viously
been announced for
April 24. Jimmy Bryan, cam­pus
project coordinator, said
it was -necessary to change
election dates so the new
student government admini­stration
would have adequate
time to make appointments.
National primary officials
say nearly 1,000 colleges
across the country with en­rollments
near five million
have already committed to
participate in the election.
The presidential primary
will give students at an anti­cipated
2,400 colleges the
right to show their preference.
In addition to names of pre­sidential
candidates, three
issues of national concern,
each with four to six possible

A student Board of Dir­ectors,
composed of 11 leaders
from different regions of the
country, met in Washington,
D.C., Feb. 10-13, to decide
referendum questions and pre­sidential
names to include in
the election.
The student voter will in­dicate

Presidential candidates will

Whither the Greeks?
The Plainsman has had several oc­casions
this year to comment on the
Auburn fraternity system. We have
restated our conviction that frater­nities
are a valuable part of the uni­versity
community; but, we have also
pointed out one area in which frater­nities
are deficient and need very
much to improve—academics.
Therefore, we find cause for deeper
concern about the future of Auburn
fraternities in the defeat of three pro­posed
rules aimed at improving frater­nity
scholastic standards. (See story
page 1)
Even more distressing was the fact
that almost one-fourth of Auburn's
.fraternities did not even bother to
send ^^representatives to Tuesday
night's significant Interfraternity
meeting.
| We wonder when, or if, fraternities
I will see the handwriting on the wall.
Certainly, there is some resentment
of any attempt to centralize authority
in the IFC. Many fraternity men would
rather keep control of their own af­fairs-
academic or otherwise.
However, the image of the entire
fraternity system is dependent on the
image of each individual member.
Therefore, the entire system stands
to benefit from rules raising minimum
fraternity standards.
Perhaps the measures did seem
strong to Greeks. But the situation
demands strong action.
We re-emphasize what we said in an
earlier editorial:
Poor fraternity grades indicate one
thing to the university community:
fraternities are a negative influence;
and, at some point, the excessive ne­gative
influence of poor grades cea­ses
to be counterbalanced by the ex­tra-
curricular justification for the
Greek systep. Then, the university
community cannot reasonably be ex­pected
to encourage fraternity suc­cess
on the campus.
Although grades are not the single
most important factor in the success
or failure of a fraternity, one thing
is sure: Auburn fraternities have fal­len
into an unhealthy trend which, if
ignored, could eventually contribute
to the demise of the entire system
here.
Need we say more?
Next Wednesday's value
What promises to be the finest Au­burn
Conference On International
Affairs yet will begin next Wednesday.
This year, the ACOIA committee has
succeeded in gathering a very im­pressive
array of speakers to speak
on topics related to the theme of the
conference, "The International Year
For Human Rights;" 1968 is the
twentieth anniversary of the United
Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
Dr. Paul Lehmann, professor of
systematic theology at Union Theolo­gical
Seminar, and noted civil rights
proponent, will speak at the opening
session at 2:00 p.m. in the Student
Act Building. Mr. George Mulgrue,
information liaison officer for the
Food and Agriculture Organization of
the United Nations, will follow Dr.
Lehmani at 3:00 p.m. Your money is
financing the conference; the money
has been invested wisely for you.
Take advantage of the opportunity to
broaden your knowledge of world
affairs.
In addition, tickets are still avail­able
for conference luncheons and
banquets (See notice page 1). For the
first time, the ACOIA committee has
attempted to provide you the oppor­tunity
for closer more informal con­tact
with the speakers, four atten­dance
at one of the banquets would
justify their efforts.
So remember to attend the opening
sessions next Wednesday. The con­ference
cannot be a success without
active, interested student support.
Where were you?
The Auburn spirit has its proper
place in the life of this institution.
Last Saturday night that proper place
was Memorial Coliseum at the Uni­versity
of Alabama in Tuscaloosa
where the Auburn Tiger basketball
squad was meeting the Crimson Tide.
There were a substantial number of
Auburn fans there. However, the of­ficial
representatives of the Auburn
spirit were not. The cheerleaders were
missed in Tuscaloosa while Auburn
was losing by one point.
Editor's views...
Nelson Rockefeller-preferred
over LBJ
By Bruce Nichols
In this election year, magazines and
newspapers have been full of the remark­able
political comeback of Governor Nelson Rockefeller of
New York, the man whom everyone had eliminated from the
running not so very long ago.
Not long ago. Rockefeller wanted very badly to be Pre­sident
of the United States, a lesser politician, notably
He believed himself to be
capable of winning then,
but he was practically alone
in this assessment. And the
Republican Party refused to
nominate him. After the de­bacle
of 1964, many believ­ed
that his chances of ever
making the grade were re­duced
to nothing.
Among those making the
gloomy assessment, appar­ently,
was Rockefeller him­self;
all indications are that
he had indeed adjusted to
the keen disappointment of
defeat and had come to ac­cept
the fact that he would
never be President. He has
even said that he doesn't
want to be President. No
one is certain whether the
old desire has really faded.
At any rate, ironically, many
Republicans and political
pundits now see him as the
only real hope the GOP has
of defeating Lyndon Johnson
in November; they. say he
may yet win it all.
There are several obvious
reasons for this reversal.
First, Republicans think
they have a chance for vic­tory
over the Democrats this
November. Many in the lead­ership
ar e attempting to avoid
the Republican stigma de­scribed
aptly by Sam Ray-burn
when he said, "If you
leave the Republicans alone
long enough, they'll blow
their chance every time."
The leaders, particularly the
new blood of which the party
has plenty, will be determin­ed
to choose the person with
the best possible chance to
beat Lyndon Johnson.
Second, Rockefeller has
proven to be a very durable
political figure. He has sur­vived
difficulties which would
have wrecked the career of
his divorce and remarriage
under particularly adverse
circumstances.
Third. Rockefeller has
proven his capabilities to
those who may have doubted
him before. He has been a
very capable governor of New
York (some authorities call
him the best in the country);
and he has amply demonstra­ted
his exceptional political
ability. The last New York
gubernatorial election is
enough evidence of his cap­ability
under maximum stress.
However the reasons for
Rockefeller's recent rise in
the public esteem lie: deep­er
than the level of pure pol­itics.
First, whatever national
political liability there was
left in his divorce and re­marriage
appears to have
completely disappeared.
Next, and largely depend­ent
on widespread accept­ance
of his divorce and re­marriage,
the American people
are hungry for political lead­ership
they can trust, re­spect,
and admire.
There is a void in the nat­ional
experience; and they
feel it. The people feel the
absence of the charismatic,
visionary leadership which
can provide national direct­ion
and purpose. Of course,
Rockefeller has nowhere near
the amount of public appeal
John F. Kennedy had. but
he has enough of these qual­ities
to supplement his ex­perience
in government and
make him a very attractive
candidate - particularly when
running against Lyndon John­son.
If we are fortunate, the
Republicans will be able to
nominate him.. The nation..
would be better off with him,,,

Study in contrasts...
Saigon or Grenoble-which
is real?
By Linda Greene
I sat in the living room of my home
watching the 1968 Winter Olympics when
the letter arrived from Vietnam.
As I opened the envelope my thoughts turned from the snow-covered
mountain slopes of Grenoble, France to the jungles
of Vietnam.
The friendly rivalry of the
Olympics vanished to
thoughts of the rivalry in
Vietnam. For the moment, the
fun of visiting in Grenoble
two years ago and riding the
ski lift was forgotten.
"I'm in the field now about
a mile from Saigon," my
friend wrote. "As you know
Saigon is under attack from
the V.C., and we're here to
prevent it."
When I read those two sen­tences,
the war seemed real
to me for the first time. Steve
is the first person close to
me who has served in Viet­nam.
Since I live in Columbus,
close to Ft. Benning, I often
saw and heard reports of the
war casualties. While work­ing
for the Columbus news­paper,
1 talked to those who
had loved ones in Vietnam.
My sympathy was aroused,
of course, but I have no
brothers, and my family
really had not been involved.
It was now Grenoble that
seemed unreal and distant
as the announcer broke
through my reading of Steve's
letter to report that Peggy
Fleming had just won the first
Olympic Gold Medal for the
United States.
The letter began as though
Steve might have been off at
college and in the middle of
finals. "I had a little free
time today, so I thought I
would write a little note to
see how you are doing."
It seemed strange that he
should be asking how I was
doing, since I was safe and
sound at home.
But Steve was that kind of
friend; always making the
best of a bad situation.
I met Steve my freshman
year at college in Georgia.
He was the kind of person
whom you always remember.
I remember one instance
when he drove 70 miles to
Atlanta to take a friend of a
friend (whom he didn't know)
to the doctor.
But now Steve is in Viet­nam.
Other sentences reached
out to grab me. "I often feel
as if I will never return home.
I never missed home as much
as I do now. Whenever I
write home, I can't seem to
find the words to express
how I feel about what all
my parents have done for
me." Tears filled my eyes.
It was several seconds before
I could continue reading.
The letter continued by
asking about the weather.
"I'll bet it's pretty cold
now. I sure could use some
cool weather for a change.
It's really hot over here. The
temperature ranges from 100
to maybe 115 most of the
time, and the rainy season
is due to start soon."
My attention was again
caught by the T.V. announcer.
He was commenting on the
warming trend in the weather
that was causing the skaters
to have trouble with the ice
in Grenoble. That wasn't
much of a warming trend as
compared to the warm wea­ther
in Vietnam.
The irony of the whole
situation shook me. The war
was now close to home.
'JUST LIKE Oll>TIMES/'
One comes running.. .
Wallace-alternative
to G0Pr Democrats
By Roy Riley
George Wallace is not the Utopian answer
to the problem of who should be President
of the United States, but what he has to offer has merit and
and is worth close investigation by everyone, including those
who persist in calling him a racist.
Big government is the most pressing problem we face
today, and Wallace, as Pre- racist or a hate-monger. How
sident, could do something
about it. He could curb big
government and steer us away
from the road that leads to
a welfare state at best.
He insists the "pseudo-intellectuals"
who run the
federal government "look
down their noses at the aver­age
man." It is doubtful that
this is true, but the feds do
not have a program that is
basically acceptable to the
average man on the street.
And this lack of a sound pro­gram
will hurt Lyndon John­son
come election time.
Though Wallace does not
• have# detailed policy as yet,
there can be little doubt that
he would cut federal meddling
in state affairs and concen­trate
on national matters,
such as Vietnam, foreign aid,
law and order and other
national problems.
The Republicans offer no
real alternatives. Their plat­form
at the coming convention
will be a carbon copy of the
Democratic party policy, and
a republican victory would
not change things.
Why beat LBJ with some­one
who must embrace party
platforms that are similiar
to what LBJ stands for?
Wallace rarely says any­thing
new, and why should
he. The problems are clear.
He knows what he dislikes,
and if you've heard one Wal­lace
speech, you've heard
them all. The problems re­main
the same.
His vows of "segregation
now, segregation tomorrow,
segregation forever" are mo­dified
in favor of a heavier
emphasis on "let the states
decide whether they want in­tegration
or segregation."
This doesn't label him a
many racists ever received
40 per cent of the Negro vote
in a three-way Alabama elec­tion?
How many hate-mongers
ever caused 107,263 Cali-fornians
to change their party
affiliation?
When pressed on the racist
label he replies, "A racist
is someone who dislikes
people because of color, and
of course I do not dislike any
of the handiwork of God."
A bit dramatic, but sincere.
Many say a vote for Wal­lace
is a vote for Johnson,
but that's not entirely true.
Granted; Wallace is expected
to carfy the South and some
border states, hurting the
Republicans in the process.
But this should be offset
by the blue collar workers who
will abandon the democrats
in the industrial areas of the
mid-west and west.
Sixty-five per cent of those
who put him on the California
ballot were Democrats.
Wallace's big worry, though
he'll never admit it, is that
the thousands who actively
support him now will get
cold feet when they step into
the voting booth.
If not he could throw the
election into the House of
R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s , and he
would hold the balance of
power there. The vote in the
House is by state, not by
individual member.
There are 29 states with a
Democratic majority in the
House and 18 with Republi­can
trends. Three are evenly
divided.
To win in the House, a can­didate
must get 26 votes. If
Wallace can control some of
Democrat votes, no candi-
A long trip home...
Memories of
fond friendship,
untimely death
By Lyn Scarbrough
The long drive home pro­vided
an opportunity for
much thought. The Campus
Carnival had been a lot of
fun and our newswriting pro­ject
was completed and the
paper looked pretty good
last week. But these were
only passing
thoug h t s .
My fore-
| most thought.
| was life-and
{death. It's:
( t r a g i c a l l y:
difficult to
lose a friend.
I It's hard to
'see a life-once
so full
of joy and enthusiasm-waste
away-the victim of a
death which you just can't
seem to understand.
The long stretch beyond
Tallahsee rolled out before
me and fond memories flashed
in my mind. Grammar school-when
little girls took pride
in outrunning boys and played
a boy-girl ball game to prove
who was best.
Junior high-very vocal
cheerleaders decked out in
black and white yelled the
team on, and bus trips to
concerts were loads of laughs.
I sped by the chalk-white
consolidated school at Holt-ville
where several teen­agers
stood outside and
talked. High school-the step­ping
stone to a long life
ahead-the fondest memories
of all.
Twenty student singers
touring the country and creat­ing
about as much mischief
as music. Stunt night and mid-field
homecoming ceremonies
and finally graduation. And
in between a close group of
friends whom you learn to
love as a family.
I stopped shortly for a
coke and a refill of gasoline
outside Clanton and headed
up the interstate for home. It
was no pleasure to think
about what lay ahead.
More specifics-I didn't
remember. There had been
too many.
An unbelievable surplus of
energy-never ending since
early childhood. An incom­parable
wit-spreading hap­piness
to everyone, no matter
how bleak the situation.
Tremendous courage and
character-<expressed many
times in teenage disappoint­ments
and much more in
grown-up death. A vivid
lesson. An eternal example.
But still you ask why.
What is death, and why does
it come to the young with so
much to offer and so much to
gain?
These are things not meant
for you to understand. But
still you ask-because it's
hard to lose a friend.

vote.
Then Wallace could nego^

from the campaign is to win
the people of this country a
voice in the government. He
is off to a good start, de­spite
harrassment, some of
it unfair, from almost every
newspaper in the nation, in­cluding
the Plainsman.
Wallace would be good for
America if he could win. The
chances are that he will not
win, but the support he has
received might show the two

voters are unhappy and thus
pave the way for someone in
the future to unseat the GOP

Letters to the editor
Opposing opinions
expressed on ACOIA
Williamson denounces
ACOIA speaker critics
Editor, The Plainsman:
Several letters to the Plains­man
seem to indicate toward
ACOIA an attitude to the
effect that if a speaker's pre­judices
don't agree with
"mine" then he has no right
to speak on the Auburn cam­pus.
This Pharisaical philo­sophy
of freedom for only
"me" furthers learning on our
campus not one iota. It does
further ignorance, provincial­ism
and bigotry. I would sug­gest
that students and faculty
members attend the sessions
of ACOIA wherein a speaker
expresses views contrary to
theirs and then in the question
and answer session show him
for the rascal that he is.
Like Jim Vickrey I would
like to commend Sam Phillips
and his staff for an outstand­ing
job in planning this year's
ACOIA.

Ed. note: The Plainsman
regrets the error in its story.
Nichols' ACOIA column
evokes comments
Editor, The Plainsman:
Mr. Nichols devoted his
last column to answering
criticism of the ACOIA pro­gram
offered in separate letters
to The Plainsman by the under
signed. He has courteously
granted us the privilege of
answering him in a joint reply
without the space limitation
usually imposed upon letters.
F i r s t we note that Mr.
Nichols has resorted to deny­ing
the availability of con­servative
speakers for the
program, just as we had anti­cipated
and took the trouble
to observe in one of the let­ters.
But, in reality, Mr.
Nichols does not justify the
selection of speakers on the
basis of availability. He goes
so far as to deny, on its face,
the necessity of the principle
of balance in presenting con­troversial
issues in an edu­cational
program.
We can imagine no more
absurd and unconscionable
defense of bias than the argu­ments
put forth to justify this
practice, and we suppose that
most readers would recognize
it for precisely the sort of
sophistry that it is. It proves
once again what many are
coming to learn: that freedom
of expression to doctrinaire
liberals means simply the
freedom to express only those
ideas ideologically acceptable
to them. From this sort of
tolerance, good Lord deliver
us.
But Mr. Nichols' assertion
that quality is more important
than a balanced presentation
of the issues struck us as
even more absurd. The fact is
that the group of mediocre
politicians and journalists
assembled for this conference
stricks us as hardly a "qua­lity"
forum for the presenta­tion
of ideas from either a
liberal or conservative point
of view. We wonder if it had
occurred to the committee that
both liberal and conservative
speakers from the country's
universities, men with far
more impressive credentials
and scholarly reputations than
the politicians selected (No­bel
Prize winner Dr. William
Shockley of Stanford, Dr.
Yale Brozen of Chicago, just
to mention two) might have
been obtained as less cost
that was necessary to bring
Senator, Hatfield? Actually, it
appears that mere "notoriety"
rather than quality has been
the criterion used for selec­tion.
We just simply will not
believe that this is the "finest
group of speakers" that Au­burn
could have gotten, liberal
or conservative.
Finally, to the accusation
that we are afraid to have our
convictions tested, we are
compelled to reply with the
very same question; may not
liberals benefit just as much
from a critical examination of

Drama department's Tartuffe'
lacked desired depth, subtlety
ByJHifceBuflrih
Comic satire has at its
disposal weapons ranging
from the rapier to the club,
and each has its virtues.
In drama, • the use of the
rapier may make somewhat
sophisticated demands on
the audience, actors and
writer, but the results
are apt to be more
satisfying. If a less subtle
attack with a club is made,
the results are likely to be
more belly-laughs, but less
intellectual stimulation of
the more lasting kind. In
its current performance of
"Tartuffe" the Drama Depart­ment
has chosen the club as
its instrument and must suffer
the limitations in quality
which that necessarily im­poses.
The play itself deals with
an easy target for the sati-rest:
the hypocrite. Tartuffe,
the hypocrite, wins the af­fection
of a rich merchant,
Orgon, by his false piety.
Orgon takes him into his home
and is so convinced of Tar­tuffe's
feigned goodness that
he refuses to believe his
family's evidence to the con­trary.
Finally he is made to
witness Tartuffe's attempt at
seducing his wife, and orders
him from the house. But he
had already intrusted to Tar­tuffe
family secrets that would
ruin him if revealed, and is
only saved from Tartuffe's
use of the secrets by a gra­cious
king.
Having elected to adopt the
more direct attack on this
subject, the cast does enter
in whole-heartedly. There is
jumping and running, shouting
and wailing, and at times al­most
slapstick acting to ex­tract
the utmost humor from
the comic situation. General­ly
this spirited performance
succeeds and laughs are
loud and enduring. Unfor­tunately,
when a joke fails
to come off, as on several oc­casions,
the participants are
seen to look a little foolish
And even when the antics do
arouse laughter, they some­how
remind one of "The Bev­erly
Hillbillies."
The drawbacks of a less
than subtle approach are made
worse by the requirements of
the plays cast. There are 15
parts, 11 of which require at
least one sizable speech. The
demand for good actors has
unfortunately exceeded the
supply at Auburn, and the per­formance
has suffered some­what
from that. The large
cast also creates the pro­blem
of where to put the actors
on the miniscule Auburn
stage. The rambunctiousness
of the cast coupled with the
crowded conditions of the
stage inevitably hinders the
effectiveness of much of the
action.
Despite the drawbacks, the
play is heartily amusing. Pat
Jeannes as the maid, Rick
Pike as Tartuffe, and David
Messer as Orgon all rise to
the somewhat burlesque nature
of their roles.

Twice is too much
If there was any doubt in my mind as to the need for
an enlarged basketball facility at Auburn, it was erased
on Feb. 7 on the student-jammed sidewalks outside the
Sports Arena,
So what if over 3,000 people were turned away from
the Louisiana State-Auburn game that night, many of
them after waiting for one and a half hours in near-freez­ing
weather?
So what if two of t h e s e people had their watches
crushed and others lost valuables in the mass of students
which formed in front of the Arena's ticket windows?
So what if those who were fortunate enough to get
tickets had to be passed bodily over the heads of the
crowd in order to get into the Arena?
So what if sports information director Buddy Davidson
had the hood of his new car, which formed a boundary of
the pushing, shoving crowd, stood upon and dented in
several places?
So what?
The whole thing was really kind of funny, even if you
did get your spine bent in a dozen different positions
while standing inline or were dropped on your head being
passed out to safety.
So what? After all, we'll have the new coliseum next
year and then there'll be room for everyone, right?
But what about the rest of this season? What about the
Alabama game on Mar. 2, the Tennessee game (the last
one in the "Barn") on Mar. 9, and maybe even the
Florida game Saturday? People will want to see these
games, too. Will the same situation prevail these nights
as did on Feb. 7?
Yeah, once was sort of funny; but twice, as the man
said, is too much.
Analyzing the situation
People began arriving for tickets as early as 5 p.m.,
and by 6 the lines, if you-could call them that, stretched
down the sidewalk which parallels the Student Activities
Building.
The lines were pretty ragged, due to two things.
One, the railings in front of the five ticket windows
are insufficient to actually create lines of any length.
The railings are U-shaped affairs and extend less than
five feet onto the sidewalk. The outside windows have
no railings.
Two, while most students were willing to stand in
line, there were some who decided to forsake this route
and just broke in on the others, who were p a t i e n t ly
awaiting the opening of the windows at 6.
The resuttt,v¥as a number of people breaking in line
from the sides? The people in line r^actea' as" might be
expected. They wanted to see LSU and Pete Maravich
as badly as the others. So the lines evaporated, and the
ticket railings weren't long enough to regulate the flow
of the crowd. People filled both the entrances and exits
to the windows.
So the mess at the Sports Arena can be blamed on the
students, can't it?
Well, in part, yes. But the reason underlying the stu­dents'
actions was the handling of ticket sales. Or was
it?
Second time around
I asked Bill Beckwith, manager of ticket sales, about
this last Monday night.
"This is only the second time something like this has
happened in the last 18 years," said Beckwith. "We
halfway anticipated a crowd of this size. A lot of the
people at the game were students who hadn't seen a game
in uheir three years here, and they were in right there
pushing with the rest to see Maravich. It wasn't our
regular basketball crowd.
"The trouble started when someone panicked and broke
inline."
Well, what is being done to prevent something like
this from happening in the future weeks?
"We've had meetings since the game, but we're right
back where we were 18 years ago," said Beckwith. "If
we could come up with a solution we'd be glad to apply
it to the situation. But the solution is hard to find. What
would you do?
How about extending the ticket railings, using saw
horses or something of this nature?
"We've tried this in the past, using ropes and saw
horses, but they are easily knocked over if someone gets
anxious to get in and starts pushing."
What about advanced ticket sales?
"You have the same problem selling in the afternoon
as you do at night. Also, this gives the townspeople more
of a chance to buy tickets, and we like to get as many
students into the games as possible."
What about monitors to keep the lines formed?
"I don't see how we could put 12 policemen down at
the Arena. Anyway, I don't think you need to get out
bayonets and barbed wire. Not with Auburn students."
I don't think so either.
But this problem is a serious one. If it happens again,
someone could be seriously injured. And if a fight ever
broke out in that packed crowd, it could quickly turn
into a mob scene.
Bill Beckwith is a man with his hands tied. He is
hoping that the situation,of Feb. 7 does not repeat it­self.
"I don't think we'll have the same situation for the
Alabama game," said Beckwith. "We had a sideshow in
town with Maravich and the LSU game. At LSU they
kick the doors down to see a game."
But what if the situation is the same for the Alabama
game?"
Then crowd control will be up to the students them­selves.
And that's our business.
Tigers face Gators, Rebs after big week
Cagers meet Florida
here Saturday night
By DAVID BAILEY
Super star Neal Walk and his fellow Gators from the
University of Florida invade Auburn's Sports Arena Sat­urday
night at 7:30 in an important Southeastern Con­ference
game. Monday Auburn visits Oxford, Miss, to
meet the hard-luck Rebels of the University of Miss­issippi.
Florida dropped a close one
in overtime last weekend to
Louisiana State and needs a
win against Auburn to keep
their SEC title hopes intact.
Leading this tall band of
Gators is 6-10 center Walk.
Walk is the only basketball
player presently on the list of
both national top ten scorers
and rebounders.
This includes such highly
touted centers as Lew Alcin-dor
of UCLA and Bob Lanier
of St. Bonoventure.

Baby Tigers post
two wins, loss
By JIM PARKER
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn freshman cagers walloped Louisiana
State University 92-77, and squeezed by Mississippi
State, 73-71, but lost to the Alabama freshmen, 80-73,
this past week to give them an S-5 record.
In their first meeting
this year, Auburn lost to
LSU, 115-88, but that was
in Baton Rouge, La.
Their second meeting told
a different story as the Baby
Tigers jumped to an early lead
with guard John Mengelt hit­ting
eight points before any­one
else sent the ball through
the hoop.
TEN POINT LEAD
When the horn sounded for
the half, the Baby Tigers held
a ten point lead, 46-36.
Forward Gary Franks led
the first half scoring with 15
points, but he was held to two
points the second half and
finished the game on the bench
after fouling out.
Auburn.tookJthe^second naif a 28.3 average per game

by 12. With three minutes
left, the Auburn freshmen had
increased their lead to 20.
The Alabama freshmen
handed the Baby Tigers their
fifth defeat of the season in a
Tuscaloosa encounter.
Auburn led the first half,
37-34, but dropped the second
half to Alabama, 36-46. The
loss was a hard one as Au­burn
hit 50 per cent of their
shots, compared to 37.5 per
cent hit by Alabama.
High scorer was Mengelt,
hitting for 33. He was 13
points ahead of the next man,
Tom Hoover of Alabama with
20.
Mengelt led the Auburn
freshman cagers to their eighth
victory as he hit six of seven
in overtime to beat Mississippi
State, 73-71.
Mengelt bucketed 27 points
in the game to give him a total
of 83 points for the week and

Wrestlers triumph;
stop Sewanee 36-0
Auburn freshman wrestler Jim Voss pulled a big upset
as Auburn shut-out the University of the South at Se­wanee,
Tenn., 30-0, last Friday night. Voss, who wrest­les
in the 130-pound weight class, narrowly defeated
Sewanee's Jack Baker,
10-9. Baker finished first
in last year's South­eastern
I n t e r c o l l e g i a te
Wrestling Association's
123 pound division cham­pionships.
The Auburn wrestlers pin­ned
three of their opponents,
and in the other seven weight
classes (excluding the 130
pound class), allowed Sewanee
'wrestlers to score only 2 in­dividual
points and no team
points.
FALL WINNERS
Eddie Dyer, 167, Chuck

to Alabama and defeated Mis­sissippi
State on the road.
Although LSU's national
scoring leader, Pete Maravich,

him scoreless for the first
six and a half minutes of play.
FLOOR MISTAKES HURT
Auburn took a lead of 13
points in the first 10 minutes,
but Plainsmen floor mistakes
and Maravich brought LSU
roaring back to a 32-32 half-time
tie.
Center Bill Alexander made
a three-point conversion at­tempt
at the start of the se­cond
half to give Auburn a
lead they never lost.
Maravich took high scoring
aonors, but only one of his
teammates hit in double fi­gures,
guard Ralph Jukkola
with 12, while Auburn had four
in double figures: Alexander,
22; forward Ron Jackson, 15;
guard Alex Howell, 12; and
guard Tom Perry, 11.
TIGERS EDGED
Guard Mike Nordholz was
the snow bird who nipped the
Tigers at Tuscaloosa last
Saturday night.
With the score tied 61-61
and 20 seconds left in the
game, Nordholz took a long
pass under the Auburn goal
following an Alabama throw
in. Nordholz laid the ball in
for two points and was fouled
in the act of shooting by
Jackson. Nordholz' free.throw
put Alabama ahead by
three. Alexander hit for two
Tiger points with 11 seconds
left, but that was the last
Tiger score and Alabamawon,
64-63.
Nordholz led in the scoring
department with 22 points. He.
was followed by Alexander"
with 19, and Elliott with 17.''
Alabama had one other player
in double figures, Deppe with'
14, while Auburn had two;1
Tinker with 14 and Howell-with
10.
Jackson provided the offen­sive
fireworks for the Tigers
last Tuesday night against1
Mississippi State in Stark-ville,
Miss.
The big sophomore pumped
in 22 points and Auburn sur­vived
a late State rally to'
win, 74-72.
The Bulldogs tied the game
at 68-68 with less than a min­ute
to play, but forward Bob
Wills hit a field goal for
Auburn and the Tigers held
onto the lead, to bring their
SEC record to 5-7.
TINKER GRABS BALL
Rebounds against LSU
Last year
Auburn put 'Hurt' on tall Gators
By ROY RILEY
Auburn's Sports Arena would be packed if the Tigers
were playing the Connecticut Zither and Kazoo Band in
basketball. That's just how it is. No matter who is play­ing,
the tickets are always gone before gametime.
And the night the tall Florida Gators came to town in
1967, the tickets were all gone long before the first
DAVID HURT STUFFS BALL
Sinks Gators' SEC Title Hopes
Gator came on the court.
The first cheers were history by the time the cheer­leaders
got there. The Auburn basketball fan was not to
be denied.
Nor was the Auburn basketball team.
The date was January 30, 1967. It was a great moment
in Auburn sports.
Great Tiger Tales
Florida was in the thick of the SEC basketball chase.
Auburn, after losing three close ones to Kentucky, Mis­sissippi
State and Vandy, was an "also-ran." Florida
had to win or lose its chances to overtake the powerful
Tennessee Vols.
When the first Gator came out, he came alone. Andy
Owens, a redshirt, strolled onto the court and with little
effort, stuffed a nearby basketball through the net.
He must have been checking to see if the nets were
working.
The crowd gave the sarcastic cheer that is synony­mous
to Sports Arena basketball and Owens retreated.
The Gators emerged and took turns batting the ball
against the backboard. Then 6-9 Jeff Ramsay grabbed
the ball and stuffed it.
The crowd roared.
Ramsay bowed gracefully and from then on, Ramsay
was a marked man.
The crowd cheered his every move during the pre-game
shooting.
Owens was small compared to the likes of Ramsay,
Neal Walk, 6-10; Gary Keller, 6-9; David Miller, 6-7; and
Gary McElroy, 6-7. Skip Higley was the only short Gator
at 6-0.
AUBURN STARTERS
Auburn started Bobby Buisson, 6-2; Alex Howell, 6-3;
Joe Millsap, 6-3; Ronnie Quick, 6-5; and Wally Tinker,
6-3.
Florida had beaten Auburn only once in 12 years in the
"Barn."
The Gators forced the Tigers to shoot from outside in
the early moments, but Howell and Millsap were hot as
Auburn took a 15-7 lead.
But the Gators closed it to a 15-14 when long McElroy
tipped in a missed free throw.
Auburn jumped back ahead by seven at 26-19 with 7:12
left on two Perry free tosses. Still the Gators fought
back.
McElroy hit a jumper and it was still close at 26-21.
But Quick hit two free tosses to make it 28-21.
Higley brought the ball down and passed toward Keller.
But big Gary never got it.
Auburn sophomore David Hurt got it, drove the length
of the. court and stuffed i t . . . much to the delight of the
2,600 members of the David Hurt fan club present at the
game.
Now it was all over for the mighty Gators.
Hurt hit a short jumper moments later and Auburn was
off and running to a 41-26 halftime lead.
Hurt opened the second half with a jump shot, Walk hit
a free toss, and Quick hit two buckets.
47-27 and no one was leaving. The Gators could come
back. g.
TRY AND TRY AGAIN
And they tried.
They got as close as 50-36 when Mr. Hurt proved that
lightening can strike twice in the same place.
Higley brought the ball down and passed toward Keller.
But big Gary never got it.
Guess who got it and drove the length of the court to
stuff it again.
One fan said, "Well, this is where I came in."
Shortly thereafter, Head Coach Bill' Lynn began clear­ing
the bench and the subs scored the final 14 points as
the Tigers knocked Florida out of the SEC race, 87-61.
The subs scored 30 points all totaled.
Auburn hit 62 per cent from the field that night and
had 21 assists on its 31 goals. Florida had one assist.
Buisson had seven assists and Howell had five.
The Gators claimed the rebound victory, 35-34, on a
team rebound.
Only four of Florida's 18 field goals came from closer
than 15 feet.
RAMSAY'S OVATION
Near the end Ramsay scored seven points and was
cheered greatly. He received a standing ovation when he
checked in.
The crowd cleared swiftly after the game and soon
only the Tigers and the Connecticut Zither and Kazoo
Band remained.
Buisson, who was terrific on defense, walked past
some friends and accepted their congratulations.
"Also we want to congratulate you for being the low
scorer among Auburn's starters," one wise sage said.
"Thanks," Bweetz replied, "I couldn't have done it
without the ball."

Little Johnny leads
Sigma Nu victory
It is a general analogy
that height, speed, and
coordination are the re­quirements
for the making
uf a good basketball play­er,
but I saw a fellow last
Sunday night who had nei­ther
height (at the mostf166?618
By ED RUZIC
that the other "Pistol Pete"
would envy. It seemed that
three-fourths of his 17 points
came from 20 feet out the
other night.
Here's the "Top Ten" for
this week, as picked by re­ferees,
scores, and time-
5'10") ribr speed but he
did have the hustle and
desire to make him one of
the best basketball play­ers
on the intramural
scene.
His name is Johnny Robert­son
and he's one of the main
reasons Sigma Nu continues
to hold the top spot in the
second "Top Ten" this quar­ter.
John R. (as his brothers
call him) is short and squatty
but he put the snakebite on
the Sigma Chi's last week
with 25 points in Sigma Nu's
80-67 victory.
PISTOL PETE II
Another reason the Snakes
are doing so well is the shoot­ing
of "Pistol Pete" Mac­kenzie,
who has a set shot
(1) Sigma Nu 16 (3-0)
(2) Phi Gamma Delta 6 (3-0)
(3) Omega Tau Sigma (3-0)!
(4) Rebels (6-0)
(5) Kappa Alpha (3-0)
(6) Hasbeens (3-0)
(7) Sigma Chi (2-1)
(8) Section 5 (3-0)
(9) Sigma Alpha Epsilon (2-1)
(10) (tie) Phi Kappa Tau (2-1)
Townhouse (3-0)
The Phi Gams have bounced
into the number two spot, after
trouncing the SPE's 57 to 11.
If they can hold on to the
league 4 lead they should
meet the Sigma Nu's in an
exciting game at the end of
the quarter.

Kelly, Jones sparkle
in indoor track meet
By LEWIS VON HERRMANN
Vic Kelly and Mickey Jones turned in outstanding
performances for the Auburn track team, but the Tigers
finished last in an three-way indoor meet in Knoxville,
Tenn. last Saturday. Auburn scored 30 points, while
Tennessee and Florida,
the Southeastern Confer­ence's
best track teams
last season, scored 95 and
34 points, respectively.
Vic Kelly broke the track
record in the two mile by run­ning
a 9:14.4, while Mickey
Jones won the triple jump with
a 46* Wi". Jack March placed
second in the triple jump be­hind
Jones, but finished sec­ond
ahead of Jones' third in
the broad jump.
A THIRD IN THE SHOT
Barry Erwin took third in
shot putt by throwing 54' VA",
just behind the first two men .
Freshman Alvin Bressler did
well in the 60-yard dash with
a third place and was second
to Richmond Flowers of Ten­nessee
in the 60-yard high-hurdles.
Pete Ginter placed
third in the 440-yard dash to
give Auburn a few extra points.
"This meet was very en­couraging
to u s , " said Coach
Mel Rosen. "I was pleased
that we placed so close to
Florida because we only have
three seniors on the team. We
were weak in the middle dis­tance
events but should be
able to improve later. It show­ed
that we are just a little
behind the other teams even
though the score was not in­dicative.
We should be ready
for the Southeastern Confer­ence
meet in March."
MASON-DIXON ENTRIES
Auburn will travel to Louis­ville,
Ken. for the Mason-Dix­on
games this week-end with
entries in the broad jump,

MORNINGS AT SEVEN... AND
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
ABOUT IT
Any man who says morning is the best time of day is
either a liar or a meadow lark.
There is only one way to make morning enjoyable:
sleep till noon. Failing that, the very best you can do is to
make morning tolerable. This, I am pleased to report, is
possible if you will follow three simple rules:
1. Shave properly.
By shaving properly I mean shaving quietly. Don't use
a blade that whines and complains. Morning being a time
of clanger and anger, use a blade that neither clangs nor
angs. Use a blade that makes no din on your chin, no
squeak on your cheek, no howl on your jowl, no rip on
your lip, no waves while it shaves. Use, in short, Personna
Super Stainless Steel Blades.
I have been shaving for 71 years (not too impressive
until one considers that I am 49 years old) and I am here
to tell you that the quietest blade I know is Personna. I not
only shave with Personna, but I also admire it. Old vir­tues
reappear in Personna; old values are reborn. Per­sonna
is a modest blade, an undemanding blade. Personna
does not rasp and tug, yelling, "Hey, lookit me!" No, sir,
not Personna! Silently, respectfully, unobtrusively, Per­sonna
whisks your whiskers with nary a whisper. It
shucks your soil and stubble without toil and trouble.
Why, you hardly know it's there, this well-bred Personna
blade, this paragon of punctilio.
Moreover, this crown of the blade-maker's art, this
epitome of epidermal efficacy, is available both in Double-edge
style and Injector style. Do your kisser a favor: get
some.
2. Breakfast properly.
I assert that a Personna shave is the best of all possible
shaves. But I do not assert that a Personna shave, brac­ing
though it may be, is enough to prepare you for the
hideous forenoon ahead. After shaving you must eat an
ample breakfast.
Take, for example, the case of Basil Metabolism, a soph­omore
at VM.I. Basil, knowing there was to be an inspec­tion
by the Commandant one morning, prepared by stor­ing
up energy. He recognized that coffee and juice would
not sustain him, so he had a flitch of bacon, a clutch of
eggs, a batch of bagels, a notch of ham, a bunch of butter,
a swatch of grits, a hutch of honey, a patch of jelly, a
thatch of jam, a twitch of pepper, and a pinch of salt.
mil
The idea was right; the quantities, alas, were not. When
the Commandant arrived, Basil, alas, was so torpid that
he could not raise his bloated arm in a proper salute. He
was, of course, immediately shot by a firing squad. Today,
a perforated man, he earns a meagre living as a collander
in Cleveland.
3. Read properly.
Always read the paper at breakfast. It inhibits bolting.
But do not read the front page. That is full of bad, acid-making
news. Read a more pleasant part of the paper—
the Home and Garden section, for example.
For instance, in my local paper, The Westport Peasant,
there is a delightful column called "Ask Harry Home­spun"
which fairly bristles with bucolic wisdom and
many an earthy chuckle. I quote some questions and
answers:
Q: I am thinking of buying some power tools. What
should I get first?
A: Hospitalization.
Q: How do you get rid of moles ?
A: Pave the lawn.
Q: What is the best way to put a wide car in a narrow
garage?
A: Butter it.
Q: What do you do for elm blight?
A: Salt water gargle and bed rest.
Q: What can Ijdo for dry hair ?
A: Get a wet hat.

Discipline rules studied
pension is dismissal from
the university for a stated
period. Expulsion is perman­ent
dismissal from the uni­versity.
Under the present system,
as explained in the Tiger Cub,
every degree of punishment
requires notation of the action
on the student's permanent
record.
"I believe," commented
Fuller, "that the future suc­cess
of many students has
been needlessly and unjusti­fiably
threatened by a disci­pline
notation on their per­manent
records for minor vio­lations.
I hope that some
system can be worked out
whereby minor punishments
are not noted on the permanent
record or whereby a student
can earn the removal of a
discipline notation from his
record."
By what method should a
student be charged and brought
before the discipline com­mittee?
According to Fuller, the
procedure for bringing char­ges
against a student is not
adequately defined. "I know
of several cases," he adds,"
in which university officials
heard about the alleged vio­lation
from student gossip
or read it in the newspaper. I
think that aciearer delineation
of what constitutes grounds
for discipline committee in­vestigation
is needed."
The Tiger Cub does not
enumerate a procedure for
bringing charges against a
student.
Other questions which
Fuller expects the study group
to discuss include:
Should a student have some
sort of personal counsel or
representative before and
during disciplinary proceed­ings?
Should avenues for appeal
after conviction be provided
the student?
Should a student "be made,
in effect, to testify against
himself?"
"All of these last ques­tions,"
commented Fuller,
"involve principles which are
basic to the Americarrsystem
of law and justice. I think we
need to investigate all of
them and how they might be
better applied to Auburn's
disciplinary system."
The Tiger Cub explanation
of discipline procedure in­cludes
no specific means of
appeal, nor does it include
any references to counsel for
accused students or testimony
by the accused.
Under the present system
as explained in the Tiger
Cub, the university policy on
student conduct and discipline
is administered by separate,
but identical, discipline com­mittees,
one for women and
one for men. Both are appoint­ed
by the president of the
university and consist of three
faculty members and one stu­dent.
The student representa­tive
on the Women's Discip­linary
Committee is the pre­sident
of Associated Women
Students. The student repre­sentative
on the Men's Discip­line
Committee is selected by
the student senate from a list
of nominees submitted by the
president of the university.
Other violations of the stu­dent
conduct regulations listed
in the Tiger Cub are dishon­esty,
giving false information
on university forms, failure
to discharge financial obli­gations,
disorderly conduct,
and theft or damage of public
or private property.
Faculty members appointed
to the disciplinary study
group are Dr. Wesley P. New
ton, associate professor of
history and political science;
Col. Robert B. Marshall, pro­fessor
of military science;
and professor from the area of
the sciences yet to be named.
Also appointed were Dr.
Floyd H. Vallery, assistant
to the president, and Rev.
John Kuykendall, associate
minister of the Auburn First
Presbyterian Church.
Student members of the
study group are Student Sena­tor
Alvan Turner, Joe A.
Lehman, assistant managing
editor, The Plainsman; Miss
Lee Davis, president of Mor­tar
Board; Student Body Trea­surer
Jim Barganier; and Ful­ler,
who will serve as chair­man.

•
"Fuller's statement sum­med
up the thoughts of many
of the IFC representatives
and fraternity presidents at
the meeting," It was pointed
out that it takes time to ad-adjust
to college life, and a
pledge may not
make this adjustment in one
quarter. One of the repre­sentatives
cited several
cases where the pledges went
on to make high grades the
following quarter after a poor
start.
Another aspect mentioned
was the effect that being
forced out of a fraternity and
away from friends might have
on a student's viewpoint of
the fraternity system. "I
really felt it was unfair,"
said Jimmy Miller of Kappa
Alpha. "I felt we could do
better."
There was also a good deal
of support for the .proposal-that
would put a fraternity on
scholastic probation for fail­ure
to meet the all men's av­erage
in three consecutive
quarters. Proponents of the
new rule came close to ob­taining
the necessary three-fourths
majority needed for
approval.
Backers of the proposal
stated that the rule was need­ed
to encourage improved
scholastics among the frat­ernities.
One of the repre­sentatives
pointed out ithat
only four fraternities bettered
the all men's average.

ACOIA adds African specialist,
human rights panel discussions
<5>
I
1
A panel discussion on
academic freedom and an
address by George M. Hou-ser,
executive director of
the American Committee on
Africa, will be featured
during the Auburn Confer­ence
on International Af­fairs.
The panel is sche­duled
for 9 a.m.,; Feb. 23,
and Houser's speech is
planned for 2 p.m., Feb. 22.
Panel pa-ticipants will dis­cuss
all areas of academic
freedom, with special empha­sis
on the proposed speaker
ban bill.
Houser will speak on
"Apartheid," the practice of
separate government struc­tures
for Negroes and whites
in the same country. This
type government is used in
South Africa and Rhodesia.
BANNED
On his last trip to South
Africa for the American Com­mittee
on Africa, Houser was
permanently banned from the
GEORGE M. HOUSER
country. The committee; which
often serves as an inform?
tion agency, was particular­ly
interested in depth infor­mation
on the country. South
African leaders were appar­ently
displeased with com­mittee
activities.
The topic for the confer­ence
is "The International
Year for Human Rights." Ses­sions
will be in the Student'
Activities Building, Feb.
21-23.
State Senators Tom Radney
of Alexander City and Alton
Turner of Luverne have agreed
to take part in the panel dis­cussion.
Radney often disa­grees
with state administra­tion
proposals and Turner is
an administration floor lead­er.
State Senator Leland Childs
of Birmingham, initial spon­sor
of the speaker ban bill,
has been asked to participate
but no confirmation has been
received.
Sam Phillips, ACOIA chair­man,
says other panel mem­bers
will probably be chosen
from students and faculty.
Cynthia Dixon, Study Day
chairman, will be panel mod­erator.
The speaker ban bill, which
failed to pass the state leg­islature,
was designed to limit
what type speakers would be
permitted to appear on state
college campuses.
A frequent African traveler,
Houser has been in his pre­sent
position since 1955.
He is a member of the Advis*^
ory Council of African A|r
fairs of the Bureau of Afrir
can Affairs in the State De£
partment. pi
He has been active in thjrj

Will you begin your career as an
engineer or scientist or return to
school for an advanced degree?
Yon can do both at NOL
If you are an engineer in the top third of your class or a scientist in the top quarter
of your class, NOL offers you the opportunity to begin your career in one of the world's
great laboratories and, at the same time, go ahead with your plans for graduate study.
NOL is a laboratory in the true meaning of the word, and
one of the largest and best-equipped laboratories in the
world. It is the nation's leading R&D establishment for
Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), the Navy's principal high
speed aeroballistics activity, and a leader in the develop­ment
of new air and surface weapons. The spectrum of
research at NOL ranges from nuclear effects to acoustics
to explosives and materials. At NOL, weapons development
is carried through from inception to design to prototype
test and development. Since 1950, NOL has completed 209
new weapons and devices such as SUBROC, nuclear depth
bombs, mines, projectile fuzes, underwater detection sys­tems,
and components and design data for POLARIS,
TARTAR, TAL0S, TERRIER, ATLAS and TITAN missiles. A
civilian staff of over 3,000 people includes more than 1,000
professional engineers and scientists—experts with na­tional
and international reputations. Extensive and unique
facilities embrace wind tunnels operating to Mach 17,
hypervelocity ballistic ranges, the world's most exceptional
hydroballistic facility, shock tunnels, 300g centrifuge . . .
multi-million-dollar experimental facilities.
Here is your opportunity. Each year, NOL interviews out­standing
engineering and science graduating students.
Selects the handful that seems to be really creative. Takes
them to its beautiful 875-acre "campus" (the front yard
is a golf course) in the rolling hills of Maryland near the
Nation's Capital. Puts them through an optional one-year
professional development course with rotational assign­ments
to various areas within the Laboratory to prepare
them for permanent assignments.
From the very beginning, new staff members have an oppor­tunity
to contribute directly to significant projects... to
be part of an organization where groups are small and
emphasis is on the individual.
NOL offers you a graduate study program that is one of
the largest and most productive programs in the country.
Each year members of our professional staff receive M.S.'s
or Ph.D.'s through this program. NOL has a significant ad­vantage
in its proximity to the University of Maryland. Many
NOL staff members hold permanent part-time positions on
the Maryland faculty, and graduate level courses are taught
at NOL every semester. Maryland also offers many courses
on its own campus—only minutes away—at times which
are convenient to and keyed to the special requirements
of NOL.

No 'body contact' for cheerleaders
By John Reynolds
BethanyNazareneCollege in Oklahoma City has ordered
its cheerleaders to "cut out body contact" at basketball
games or resign.
As part of its responsibility to the student, Bethany,
operated by the Church of the Nazarene, intends to "su­pervise
social activities in harmony with Christian prin­ciples."
The students decided to continue as • cheerleaders,
although 12 of their 16 routines including some form of
physical contact have been eliminated.
FPC WINTER TERM-QUIZZES OUT, TRAVEL IN
• Winter term at Florida Presbyterian College in St.
Petersburg means to the students no classroom routine
and no cramming for quizzes. Instead they travel to exotic
lands such as Jamaica, Israel, Mexico and Germany to
work on individual "projects."
Most FPC students avidly participate in the multi­plicity
of both foreign and domestic endeavors. Florida
Presbyterian, the first college to experiment with this
type of study program, is sponsoring 80 projects for the
four week period between semesters. In these studies the
student is exposed to practical educational experience
not available in a text book.
On this year's schedule was a trip to Jamaica for a
first hand look at tropical animals in coastal waters. A
kibbutz in Israel was inspected by a fact-finding dele­gation,
which acquired data on the sociological, religi­ous,
and political orientation of Israeli culture. A migrant
worker camp at Fort Myers furnished material for still
more research. Other inquiries included Chinese cali-graphy,
the science of science, and problems in Renais­sance-
Baroque terminology. Last year foreign language
majors visited Germany, Czechoslavokia and Austria.
The projects have become so popular that 25 students
at FPC devote their entire four years to various inde­pendent
studies, since class attendance for them is
voluntary.
The Ford Foundation allocates funds for these pro­jects,
which have been instituted at numerous universiti­es
in recent years.
"Winter term is so popular here that some students
don't want to go back to the traditional term when it's
over," commented Mrs. Betty Ray, assistant director of
public relations.
In the battle for liberalized freshman women's rules
at Michigan State University, the coeds may be triump­hant
if a proposed resolution is adopted. The resolution
extends a "no hours" privilege to all coeds except first
quarter freshman.
In addition, women's dorms and sororities will permit
their first term freshmen residents to be out until 2 a.m.
on weekends instead of the 1. a.m. curfew now in effect.
They will also be allowed three weekend nights with
limitless late permissions.
The recommendation defines first term freshmen as
"those coeds who have accumulated zero credit hours."
"NO HOURS" POLICY FOR MSU COEDS
Currently, all Michigan State upperclass women and
coeds 21 years old are covered by the no hours policy.
Greg Hopkins, chairman of the student board consider­ing
the changes, said, "When men and women go to col­lege,
they are old enough to make their own decisions
about when they will stay out, who they will have in their
rooms and what they will do."
"One term is enough time to adjust to social life and
to learn about the university," maintained Cindy Mattson,
senior member at large of the committee considering the
resolution.

ACOIA Preview: Arnon and Tomeh
Jews want homeland;
Arabs want land back
The long Arab-Israeli
conflict in the Middle East
is a struggle between Arab
nationalism and the Jewish
desire for a homeland, ac­cording
to Seth King, New
York Times Correspondent.
The Arabs see the problem,
in the words of George Tomeh,
as "A struggle of a people
for liberation, a people whose
right to self-determination was
denied, a people whose lands,
territories, homes, farms have
been stolen from them, and
they are asking for them
back.''
The Israelis,, according to
Michael Arnon, have been de­nied
the equality of opportu­nity
guaranteed to nations in
the United Nation Charter.
"Israel has not been allowed
to enjoy the first prerequisite
of the sovereign equality. I
refer to peace. A group of
member states invaded Israel's
territory even before the hour
of its rebirth. Twenty years
and three wars later, the doc­trine
of the Arab world is 'no
recognition, no negotiation,
no peace.'"
Arnon is Consul General of
Israel in New York. Tomeh is
Syria's ambassador to the
United Nations and was seen
on television during the UN's
debate of the Arab-Israeli war.
They will address the Auburn
Conference on International
Affairs Feb. 22.
HOPES BOOSTED
Jewish hopes for a national
home were boosted by the
British Balfour Declaration of
1917. This declaration by the
foreign secretary announced
"His Majesty's Government
views withfavorthe establish­ment
in Palestine of a national
home for the Jewish people."
In 1918 the British drove the
Turks from the Holy Land and
took possession of Palestine.
The Arabs looked forward
to independence from Turkish
rule, but their hopes were
short-lived. After the war the
French took charge of Leba­non
and Syria, while Britain
took Palestine, Transjordan,
and Iraq.
The persecution of Jews by
the Nazis in Europe caused a
massive immigration into
Palestine. Britain tried to

World opinion and terroristic
actions in Palestine over­powered
the British and they
referred the issue to the
United Nations.
The UN offered a plan for
partitioning Palestine into
Jewish and Arab states. This
proved unworkable, and the
Arabs threatened war.
The British withdrew from
Palestine in May, 1948, and
the next day Egypt, Jordan
and Iraq invaded Palestine.
When the war ended, Israel
had pushed the Arabs out of
Palestine and captured a third
more territory.
Gammal Abdul Nasser be­came
premier of Egypt in 1954
and soon became a symbol of
all Arab nationalism. In the
summer of 1956 he took full
control of the Suez Canal,
formerly an international water
way, and blockaded the Gulf
of Aqaba, Israel's route to
the Red Sea.
UN PRESSURE
Israel's army crossed the
Sinai Desert in five days and
reached the bank of the Suez
Canal. Under UN pressure
Israel withdrew her troops. In
.turn, the UN stationed
United Nations Emergency
Force units along the Sinai
border and at the entrance to
the Gulf of Aqaba. The UN
promised to guarantee Israel's
right of passage through the
gulf.
Again in 1968 war broke out
in the Middle East after the
Gulf of Aqaba was blockaded.
In just five days Israeli terri­tory
quadrupled in size.
