Seibold trial
continues;
state rests
By DAVID HOUSEL
Managing Editor
.Edward Albert Seibold
began his fight for life at
1 p.m. yesterday when Lee
County Circuit Court Judge
L.J. Taylor called for de­fense
attorney Jacob Wal­ker
to begin his presenta­tion.
The state rested its case
Wednesday morning against
the 21-year-old former Auburn
student. He is accused of the
Sept. 6 slaying of three Au­burn
girls.
Cathey Sinclair, Seibold's
former girlfriend, had taken
the stand in the morning ses­sion,
but when Judge Tyner
refused to allow letters from

Residence requirements
to stiffen next fall
By DONNA RENFROE
Stricter rules for continuation in residence, based on
a quarterly rather than a yearly system, have been
adopted by the academic affairs committee and approved
By GUY RHODES
Re-evaluation of regulations governing the use of alcoholic beverages in fall
fraternity closed rush will probably result in "some form of strict dry rash" in the
future.
Interfraternity Council President Steve McMillan said that President Philpott will
make a decision on the
"dry rush" rule after a
five-member committee
make recommendations on
how to solve the rush pro­blems.
The committee, appointed
jointly by Alvan Turner, pre­sident
of the Fraternity Pre­sidents
Commission, and Mc­Millan,
will bring suggestions
to President Philpott on how
to "alleviate the present
drinking problem and present
the best overall picture of the
fraternity system."
The committee was ap­pointed
from the Fraternity
President's Commission,
which is made up of presidents
of all campus fraternities.
Members of the committee are
Tom Walker, Kappa Sigma,
chairman; Jimmy Sanford, Sig­ma
Nu; Phil Cuba, Alpha Ep-silon
Pi; Bill Ginn, Sigma Pi;
and, Joe Davis, Pi Kappa Phi.
Committee members will
meet with the President's
Committee on Fraternities on
Jan. 25 to discuss provisions

The new requirements, to
take effect next fall, state
that a student will be placed
on academic probation when­ever
the total number of hours
he has attempted exceeds to­tal
grade points earned by
more than 12. This is to be
computed quarterly.
For example, a student who
had attempted 100 hours at
the end of a given quarter
must have earned at least 38
honor points, according to the
new requirement, or be placed
on probation.

Marriage seminar includes
family planning lecture
By LILA FLINT
Birth control and the mean­ing
of marriage will be major
topics of discussion at the
"Seminar on Preparation for
Marriage," to be held in the
Union Ballroom, Monday and
Tuesday at 7 p.m.
The schedule for the con­ference,
sponsored by the
Student Government Associ­ation
and Associated Women
Students, was announced to­day
by seminar chairman Sam
Franklin.
"The seminar was ex­tremely
successful last year,"
Franklin said. "The program
has been designed to interest
all students whether or not
they are planning marriage.
We feel that everyone will
gain from the project."
It was necessary to move
the seminar from LangdonHall
to the Ballroom this year due
to overflow crowds last year.
Monday night, Dr. Oron
Thomas Bolding, director of
the Intrauterine Contraceptive
Clinic and ' director of the
Planned Parenthood Board,
will address the seminar on
birth control.
Dr. Bolding did his post
graduate work at the Univer­sity
of Georgia, Harvard, and
the University of Wisconsin.
"Family planning is the
responsibility of everybody,"
Bolding said. "College level
is the time for learning meth­ods.
My lecture will include
methodology as well as ideo­logy,"
he continued.
The Rev. Powers McLeod,
former pastor of the Auburn
Methodist Church, will dis­cuss
"The Meaning of Mar-riage"
at the Tuesday meeting.
In conjunction with the
topic. Charles Peckham of
Peckham Travel Agency in
Columbus, Ga., will speak
to the meeting on honeymoon
locations; and Lamar Ware of
Ware's Jewelry in Auburn,
will discuss gems, china, sil­ver
and crystal.
Following the t a l k s on
Tuesday, Miss Auburn, the
Glomerata beauties, and the
Calendar Girls will model
bridal fashions furnished by
Aland's of Birmingham.
quarter's work here.
iAt present, eligibility to re­main
in school is based on a
percentage between hours
attempted and grade points
earned, and is computed year­ly.
'EASIER TO UNDERSTAND'
Dr.Wilford S. Bailey, chair­man
of the academic affairs
committee, said, "The new
regulations will be easier to
understand and at the same
time be more rigorous and de­manding
without being an un­fair
burden to the students."
"A student may clear a
probation by reducing his
grade point deficiency to 12
or fewer grade points," he
said.
A student on probation will
be placed on academic sus­pension
for two quarters
whenever the number of hours
he has attempted here ex­ceeds
grade points earned by
more than 21.
However, such a student
will not be placed on acade­mic
suspension at the end of
a quarter in which he earns a
l.U (C) average, but he will
be continued on academic
probation.
FIRST SUSPENSION
A student's first academic
suspension will be for a
period of two quarters, sum­mer
quarter being counted as
any other quarter. A student
will be readmitted on acade­mic
probation following the
expiration of his first sus­pension.

Computer registration
Drop-add poses more problems
Either computer registration or mass
schedule adjustments by students ap­parently
must be eliminated.
This fact was brought out by Dr. Wilbur
Tincher, director of educational services,
at a meeting Monday between registration
officials and student leaders. The pur­pose
of the meeting was to inform stu­dents
of computer registration problems
and to hear suggestions as to how these
problems can be corrected.
ONE-THIRD CHANGED COURSES
It was revealed that one-third of the
students who received complete sche­dules
in this quarter's computer pre-registration
changed courses during sche­dule
adjustment period.
Over half of these schedule changes
were considered totally unjustifiable by
registration officials. They said that a
majority of schedule adjustment cards
turned in to the Registrar's Office either
had no legitimate reason given for the
change or were erroneously completed.
"We feel that many students have not
been playing fair, so to speak," Tincher
said. "They will give a reason for an ad­justment
and then laugh about the reason
they gave."
He said that a possible solution may
be "to reduce the number of printed rea­sons
for schedule changes."
Reasons now valid for schedule adjust­ment
include forced drops, courses need­ed
for graduation, registration errors,
overload eligibility, partial schedule as­signments,
schedule conflicts, physical
condition, lunch hour conflicts, distance
between classes and working hour con­flicts.
Tincher told the group that unless a
.workable solution is found, it may prove
necessary "to forget the idea of computer
registration in the future."
However, students were told that plans
now call for computer registration to be
continued "indefinitely." Tincher told
the group that a study, made recently by
Homer Fisher, assistant registrar, and
Edward Walker, systems programmer for
the computer center, evaluates registra­tion
problems and offers future suggest­ions.
This study will be released "in the
future."
STUDENTS AT MEETING
Joining Tincher and Fisher at the meet­ing
were Charles Bentley, student body
president; Bruce Nichols, Plainsman
editor; Jimmy Fuller, student body vice
president; Carol Carter, AWS treasurer;
Lyn Scarbrough, Plainsman assistant
editor; Larry Menefee, senator-at-large;
and, Gwen Roten, student representative
on the Registration Committee.
Tincher said that although there were
manual and administrative problems, re­gistration
difficulties were primarily due
to discrepancies in course changes.
ADJUSTMENT WAS "BREAKDOWN"
"We feel that the breakdown this quar­ter
was fn schedule adjustment," Dr.
Tincher said. "Regardless of technology,
the computer can not manufacture seats
or classrooms which do not exist. This
is a fact which many people don't seem
willing to understand."
Tincher said he hopes that schedule
changes will be more difficult to have
approved in the future.
"I especially hope it will be harder for
the unjustifiable reasons," he said.
"There is no use for students to register
twice-once by computer in pre-registra-tion
and again manually during schedule
adjustment period."
Tincher said that if student disatisfac-tion
with completed schedule assignments
continue, there may come a time whep
"students will have to come to school
only at hours when classes are originally
offered, or not at all."
Fisher said that failure by students to
list alternate courses has been a source
of past registration difficulty.
"In many cases students have not list­ed
all three alternates," Fisher said.
"These corrections would have eliminated
many of the partially requested sche­dules."
Of 11,521 students being registered by
computer for winter quarter, 9,000 were
given full course loads as requested and
and 2,521 were partially scheduled. Al­most
72 per cent of the students received
courses and hours exactly as requested.
Although only about 2,500 students
were partially scheduled, over 5,500 took
part in schedule adjustment. Only five
students were given no courses and all of
these students had requested only one
course.
9,000 SCHEDULED "WELL"
"The computer is doing between 2,000
and 3,000 schedules poorly, but it is do­ing
9,000 schedules well," Fisher said.
"If this rate continues, it should be high
enough to justify computer registration.
But even so, we're not doing well
enough."
Meetings similar to Monday's student
meeting have been held between registra­tion
officials, deans and assistant deans
to discuss the registration situation.

Dry rush, residence rule, Seibold lead news
Dry rush. . .
which should be included.in'
a new rule.
The President's Committee
on Fraternities is a seven-member
board appointed an­nually
by the university pre­sident.
Currently serving on
the committee are Dr. J.E.
Greene, dean of the School
of Veterinary Medicine, com­mittee
chairman; Miss Kath­arine
Cater, dean of Women;
Dr. G.J. Cottier, professor of
poulrty science; James E.
Foy, dean of student affairs;
Prof. W.J. Robinson, associate
professor of aerospace! engin­eering;
Jimmy Fuller, IFC
measurer; and McMillan.
The rule, authored by the
Committee on Fraternities in
1962, states that "fraternities
will not be allowed to budget,
purchase, or provide alco­holic
beverages for rushes."
"The rule was set out ori­ginally
to mean dry rush in a
sense," McMillan, said. "But
the rule can be taken in a
number of ways. Interpretation
was the problem in one pror
bation this fall."
"Student members of the
President's Committee on
Fraternities felt that it was
not consistent to put one
fraternity on social probation
when what they did was only
slightly different from what
other fraternities were doing,"
McMillan said..
.The IFC has allowed alco­holic
beverages purchased
by individual members to be
served to rushees and has
interpreted this to be in com­pliance
with the rule.
Some organizations and
individuals argue that although
the rule is not being "le­gally"
broken by individual
purchasing of beer, that the
"spirit" of the rule is being
violated.
IFC officials pointed out
that a totally dry rush does
not give completely true
picture of fraternity life. They
say that since many frater­nities
partially base their
opinions on how maturely a
rushee handles liquor, that
to abolish it altogether would
not be advisable.
i McMillan said that Pre­sident
Philpott told him early
this quarter that he favored
the elimination of alcoholic
beverages from fall rush.
"At that time the President
told me that he felt frater­nities
should stress brother­hood
and friendliness and
put their best foot forward,"
McMillan, said.

the present regulations, only
notice of suspension is indi­cated.

It just makes good sense for the
graduate engineer or scientist,
contemplating the direction of his
professional career, to make sure
that he has all the information he
needs about every company he is
considering—that he has total
input information—before he makes
a connection.
If you're good. If you're really
good. If you have learned to use
the knowledge you have acquired
as a starting point from which to
launch new ideas, you probably
know already that your talents are
in demand. There is always a
seller's market for intellect.
But there can be more to your
future than buy and sell.
Satisfaction is a commodity that
cannot be exchanged.
When you are considering where
you will start in the complex world
of aerospace, while you are
gathering input information, we
urge you to investigate the
opportunity for a satisfying career
here at the Pomona division of
General Dynamics.
Here are five reasons why it would
be a wise move for you now:
1. You will work side-by-side with
nationally recognized engineers
and scientists who are
pioneering advanced concepts
in missilry. Your reputation will
be balanced by association.
2. Your compensation and fringe
benefits will be on a par with
the top in the industry.
3. You will pursue your profession
in an area where living is
pleasurable year 'round—one
of the top vacation areas in the
nation. Beaches, mountains,
desert, a great city nearby,
universities and colleges for
advanced study, an atmosphere
of growth and achievement.
4. Your ability will be applied to
creating universally important
products of engineering
imagination.
5. Here at the nation's largest
facility for development and
manufacture of tactical guided
missiles, your talents will be
evaluated, recognized and
rewarded.

Broadway company
performs Wednesday
By JAMES THORTON
"The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the
Crowd," the first Broadway production to come to Au­burn,
will be performed in the Student Activities Build­ing
Wednesday at 8:15 p.m.
Described by New York critics as a "whirligig of fun!
and fantasy," the musical
play concerns the little
guy pitted against the big
guy; the "all of us" against
the establishment.
The show, which first
opened in London, co-stars
David C. Jones and Edward
Earle, who have played many
stage roles and appeared on
numerous television appear­ances
on the major networks.
UNDERDOG VS. SIR
Earle plays the role of
"Cocky" the . hapless, shy
underdog who is bullied by
the establishment, played by
Jones, the arrogant, swag­gering,
over-bearing "Sir."
Earle* s appearances in­clude
performances in over
25 musical and dramatic pro­ductions
including "Stop the
World. I Want to Get Off,"
"West Side Story." "The
Pajama Game," and "The
Teahouse of the August
Moon." He also appeared in
the films, "The Hunchback
of Notre Dame," and "The
Ten Commandments."
Jones has appeared in such
productions as "Mary Stuart,"
"The Andersonville Trial,"
'"No Time for Sergeants," and
"Life with Father."
PRAISED BY COOK
"The play is so full of
bright songs, sketches and
dances that one becomes
caught up in the beauty and
music of the spectacle and
almost forgets the theme of
Love is a funny little ani­mal.
You have to feed it,
water it, and clean out its
cage.
J. Maxine
the musical," said Clarence
Cook, Director of the Auburn
Union. Cook saw the play
while it was on Broadway.
"The Roar of the Grease­paint"
recently closed in New
York and is going on national
tour for the first time. It has
appeared at colleges and unir
versities on the Atlantic Sea­board
and comes to Auburn:
from the University of Florida.
John Chapman, critic for
the New York Daily News
reported: "Everything about
'The Roar' is imaginative...
with good rousing songs—num­bers
like 'Who Can I Turn To,'
'Nothing Can Stop Me Now,'
'A Wonderful Day Like To­day,'
'Things To Remember,'
and a beautifully staged
'Feeling Good.'"

Lecture and Concert. Series.
Student tickets may be pur­chases
for $2 at the Auburn.
Union Desk prior to the per­formance.

On fraternities: grades and alcohol
During the past week, new develop­ments
in two recently persistent pro­blem
areas, grades and rush proce­dure,
have confronted Auburn fraterni­ties.
The future status of fraternities
on this campus depends vitally on
the ability of fraternity men to res­pond
wisely.
First, i statistics compiled by the
registrar for the fall quarter indicate
that fraternity men did more poorly
than usual in academics. Although
there reportedly were some errors in
the computer tabulations which might
have given the Greeks lower rating
than they actually deserved, the gene­ral
downward trend in fraternity per­formance
remains unaffected. Twenty-three
fraternities had composite grade-point
averages below the average
computed for all Auburn men.
Fraternity men have seldom, as a
group, 'set a blistering pace with the
books. Generally their interests are
varied and, <of course, iconsidered as
a group, < their intellectual capacity
can only be average. There may be
some justification in the contentions
that the advantages of fraternity life-friends,
activities-justify the poten­tial
sacrifice in grade-point which
any member should expect to suffer;
a fraternity is an extra-curricular ac­tivity
and, 'Of course, will take time
away from studies.
However, the better fraternities
also consider themselves more than
social clubs; the purpose of the
more substantial social fraternities
includes trie development of every
important aspect of a brother's colle­giate
life-including scholarship.
One traditional appeal of the fra­ternity
has been, "We encourage good
scholarship; we help the new student
get his feet on solid ground; he can't
get as much help on his own." This
is one Greek tradition worth preserv­ing;
but apparently a number of Au­burn
fraternities are not placing
much emphasis on studies.
And, further, 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 system. Then, 'the uni­versity
community cannot reasonably
be expected to encourage fraternity
success on the campus.
For this reason, fraternity scholar­ship
has become a primary concern of
the Interfraternity Council.
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?
Second, fraternity presidents were
informed by IFC President Steve
McMillan that President Philpott
wants the present rules on the serv­ing
of alcoholic beverages during rush
revised. The President is said to
favor a dry fall .rush. That is, <no al-cohdftc
bevera^ipaOliIl-could he
served during ru^KMfplrently, how­ever,
• there is still some room for
compromise and negotiation on the
matter, for the fraternity presidents'
commission will make a study and
come up with some recommendations
for the President.
The rule as presently worded-no
fraternity shall "budget, purchase or
provide'' alcoholic beverages during
rush-does not mean the same thing
to everyone involved. The President's
Committee on Fraternities officially
has said that, to them, the present
rule means dry rush. However, • the
IFC has made special rush rules, in
addition to the original rule, which
apply to the proper manner in which
alcoholic beverages may be purchased
and served. Further, there has been
some confusion among the fraternities
themselves as to what constitutes a
violation of the special IFC rush
drinking rules. And the confusion on
interpretations has, of course, made
fair enforcement of regulations impos­sible.
Clearly, • President Philpott.'s re­quest
for revisions in the present
rule set-up is justified.
There are drawbacks in either ex­treme
alternative-completely dry rush
or completely unlimited use of beve­rages
during rush. The first extreme
misrepresents the fraternity system
to therushee. There is, in fact, drink­ing
in Auburn fraternities, • and the
rushee in dry rush could possibly be
misled about a fraternity's attitude
toward drinking. That can be an im­portant
factor in deciding where to
pledge. The same goes for a fraterni­ty's
judgement- of a rushee. They
would like to know his ability to
handle liquor.
A no rule situation might conceiv­able
provide an unfair rush advantage
for large fraternities with full money
coffers. In addition, unpleasant situ-ations-
the pledging of a drunk rushee
who, 'if sober, <would not pledge, for
example-could arise if there were
no rule.
Either alternative^ however, would
be more desirable than the present
ambiguous rule.
Fears, strength. .
A parley-depression:
past and future
By Brute Nichols
"Perhaps that's what's wrong," she said
over Johnny Carson's televised blitheness.
The den was lighted only partially by the glow from the
screen across the room, and we talked, as we had so often
before, about the future for my generation.
The parleys were always easier at this time of day; we
seldom delved deeper into
each other than we did late
at night, bathed in the dim
electronic gray light of the
tube, when sleepy weariness
had loosened mind and tongue
from the strictures of alert­ness
and the barriers imposed
by daytime routine.
She continued her analy­sis;
and I listened although
we had traveled this conver­sational
path before: "iYou've
never known what it's like to
worry about where the next
meal will come from; you've
never had to worry about the
small, simple things which
tomorrow must have. The
things essential to survival
have always been handed to
you."
She looked at me as if ex­pecting
some sort of res­ponse.
I didn' t argue.
"When I was your age,"
she said, "we had to worry
about the necessities, and it
took real effort to satisfy
basic needs; the quest occu­pied
all our energy and time
and gave us purpose. The
choice was simple; find work
and endure or find no work
and despair, maybe go hun­gry.
We didn't have time to
worry whether we were well-adjusted,
hypocritical, or
over-materialistic. We had to
be materialistic."
She went on. "Now that the
basic needs are satisfied,
your generation has had to
find new needs and wants,
new stress, to test and oc­cupy
your minds and ener­gies."
And I remembered a
psycho-social theory from an
earlier classroom session:
young people must have
something to push against,
mentally and emotionally, as
well as physically, in order
to grow strong..
"And too many of you have
not been able to settle on
valid needs and wants to
provide the stress, the pur­pose,
the direction-and ulti­mately
the strength to pre­vail."
So she has doubts that the
future will bring stability.
She suspects the long period
of prosperity we have experi-enced-
not because she has
substantial reason to do so,
but because she has a nag­ging
intuitive conviction that
man has not mastered the
cycle of change, yet.. She
fears that the cycle-econo­mic
and otherwise-of man's
advance has been tamed only
temporarily and that it will
flare up in man's face again,
bringing ill.
She fears all these things
because she has seen the
flare-up before, if only as a
child in the twenties and
thirties. ;She remembers the
grapes of wrath.
And now that she can do
little to correct the defici­ency,
she worries that her
child may not be tough
enough to prevail in the
greater disruption she senses
in his future.
An American nightmare...
Sounds of war
grow ever louder
By ke Lehman
Fighting in the city had raged for nine
days. Search and destroy missions were
continuing. The alley to alley, door to door street skirmishes
among the burned-out buildings were vicious during the day
and grotesque at night. The price tag in deaths for control of
this city was enormousj it was a strategic city, the auto­motive
center oi' the country.
But now the factories with
their all-important assembly
lines were completely de­stroyed.
Only twisted steel,
charred bricks and dying
fires remained where once
shiny, new cars and trucks
were produced.
A scene from the Ruhr
valley in WW II? No, Detroit
in the summer of 1968.
The same city where racial
tensions resulted in riots
which ravaged the ghettos
last summer was now the
scene of an organized guer­rilla
war. The country was
panicked; the economy stran­gled
as the guerrillas, bands
of Negroes versed in street
fighting, had surged across
the city. First the National
Guard was called in and then
the Army...and now similiar
hostilities were breaking out
in other major cities.
Such a series of events
could occur in the U.S. this
year
Urban riot was established
in 1967 as an instrument of
racial rebellion which has
replaced relatively peaceful
demonstrations such as sit-ins.
However, these riots
have not been strictly ones
of Negroes clashing with
whites, but ones where the
rioters were relieving their
frustrations at chew slum
surroundings, their relative
poverty and their governing
authorities.
The only factor which kept
the 1967 riots from becoming
guerrilla rebellions was a
lack of organization by the
black power advocates. How­ever,
organized urban insur­rection
could explode in 1968
causing destruction in large
American cities comparable
to that of London and Berlin
in WW II. A U.S. Army mili­tary
analyst in a recent issue
of U.S. News and World
Report said that the defeat of
such organized urban guer­rillas
"would require the
direct application of military
power by the National Guard
and the active Army." The
destructiveness of such an
"application of military
power" would be disastrous
to the U.S. economically and
politically.
Organization on the part
of the black power movement
could be spurred by the riots
in 1967 and a continued
growth of the frustrations
which caused these riots.
Black power leaders such
as Adam Clayton Powell,
H. Rap Brown and Stokely
Carmichael have backed such
urban guerrilla warfare as
the Negroes' means of top­pling
the American "power
structure."
These outbreaks of vio­lence
are a necessary part
of what Powell called "the
black revolution that is going
to purge American demo­cracy."
Brown called on
Negroes to arm themselves
against the white "con­spiracy
of genocide" while
labeling riots in Newark and
Detroit last summer "dress
rehearsals for revolution."
The pent-up frustrations of
the Negro concerning his
rights as a human being and
an American citizen have
been smoldering with a grow­ing
i n t e n s i t y since the
emancipation of the slave.
These frustrations which
have been largely ignored in
the U.S. until the last quarter
of a century could easily ex­plode
into civil war this sum­mer.
In such a case law and
order would prevail but the
price of law and order would
be higher than our nation
could afford.
The situation is not hope­less
if the root of the pro­blem,
the frustration of the
Negro in the slums, is re­lieved
and eventually eli­minated.
Then the Negro
masses will not have a rea­son
for following the black
power advocates who are
apparently determined to
destroy America. Our task
is to answer the legitimate
grievances of the Negro be­fore
we have to fight an ugly
and senseless war inside
our country.

Where is the Soul?...
Christian religion faces
its greatest challenge
By David Housel
The Christian religion, which has re­mained
strong despite numerous doubts by
skeptics, oppression by communism, and apathy by Christians
themselves, is facing its most challenging test.
Christianity must answer some thought provoking and doct­rine
shaking questions that are being raised as medical
scientists move from trans­planting
human hearts toward
brain transplantations.
* Man will be soon be able
to peer into areas once
thought reserved for God
alone. Is there a soul? If so,
where does it exist? Is it in
the mind, the heart or can it
be isolated or defined? And
can it be transferred from one
body to another?
These are some of the
questions believers and doubt­ers
of the Christian faith will
ponder as medicine moves
closer toward an inevitable
attempt at a brain transplant.
Russian doctors have already
grafted the head^of one dog
onto the head" of "another.
Even though the dog with the
new head did not live more
than a few hours following
the operation, the first step
has been taken.
Once doctors attempt to
transplant a human brain or
head, will they give a new
brain to an-old body, or will
the brain have a new body?
And whose soul will the new
medical Frankenstein posses?
The soul of the brain donor
or the soul of the body donor?
Other medical advancements
have already required that
Christians reexamine their
beliefs.
Prospective parents will
soon be able to dictate the
the characteristics and traits
of their children by dialing
the desired genetic code
when medical scientists would
convert their knowledge into
mass usage.
When parents can select
the type of children they will
have, will they not pre-empt
God's role in creation?
How does the belief of most
Christians, that God alone
created life, remain valid
when Stanford University sci­entists
claim that they cre­ated
"life" in a test tube?
It is too early to predict
how the Christian faith will
cope with medical issues it
must face, but theologians
must examine their interpre­tation
of God's word in con­nection
with scientific ad­vancement
if Christianity is
to continue as one of the
world's great religions.
A refusal by many Christ­ians
to reexamine ideas and
a tendency to rely solely on
s c r i p t u a l interpretations,
which may have become dated
since demonational doct­rines
were written, would in­dicate
a serious weakness,
perhaps even a ;Iack of faith
in Christianity itself.
The question will be debat­ed
and questionable solutions
will be reached. The non-
Christian will contend that
medicine has disproved the
Christian myth, and Christians
will believe that God has re-vealed
his works to man
through medicine.
And somewhere between
will be the masses of people
who don't know exactly what
to believe.

The increase...
_ i • —
Why people
should pay
more taxes
By H&e Button
There is one thing for sure
about the American public:
its ignorance in complex
matters of domestic public
affairs is abysmal. Witness
the woman in Sioux Falls,
Iowa, who, on the day before
the postal increase, bought
$15 worth
of five-cent
stamps in
order to save
money in the '
future. Of a-'
far more
serious na­ture,
how­ever,
is the';
public sus­picion,
mis- '
understanding, and resentment
of a tax increase.
Public ignorance is under- ,
standable when a large seg- .
ment of the business world, .
and seemingly even of Con- ;
gress, has not grasped the
economic facts of life which
the economists have pre­sented.
The nation is com­mitted
at midstream to the
'New Economic Policy' of
controlling both booms and ,
recessions. Ignoring the con- ,
trolling factors of that policy
now could well result in,
serious problems. The pro­blems
confronting us today
are inflation and a possible
recession. The controlling
factor under consideration is
fiscal policy, in this case, a
method for decreasing public
(consumer) spending and thus
easing inflationary pressures.
The two proposed fiscal
operations are increased
taxes and decreased govern­ment
spending. Both would
have the desired results of
reducing demand, but each
has its undesirable features,
too. The tax increase would
require a slight money loss
for the individual voters. The
reduction of expenditures
would result in some unem-J
ployment, and depending on
where the cut came, a IOSJ-"
of some government service.,
Professional economists are
now almost unanimously-agreed
that the tax increase
is the only really workable
solution but congress and
the public remain uncon­vinced.
Representative Wilbur Mills
is the main bit of unconvic-tion
in Congress, and his
opposition seems to be the
same as that of the public.
In a nation of magnificent
and unprecedented affluence,
they are unwilling to sacri­fice
a small amount to im­prove
the lot of others and
maintain their own affluence.
There is resentment, and
talk of higher taxes driving
the good honest middle
classes to poverty. This
vilification of President
Johnson as a financial vacuum
cleaner simply ignores the
present standard of living
and the need for measures to
maintain that level.
Indeed, plain old dis­gusting
(and in this case
self-defeating) personal
avarice may be the biggest
obstacle to the tax increase.
But more and more, econo­mists
are raising the cry. As
Arthur Okum, newly appointed
chairman of the Council of
Economic Advisors, said in
Newsweek "...public ut­terances
against the tax in­crease
remind me strongly of
my seven year-old son's ar­guments
against taking medi­cine.
All in one breath, he
can reel off a multitude of
objections: he is perfectly
well; he is so sick that noth­ing
can possibly help him;
it may, indeed, cure his sore
throat but would surely give
him an even more painful
stomach-ache; he will take
it later in the day if his
throat doesn't get better;
he would have takenthe medi­cine
without a fuss if his
mother had given it to him
the day before; it isn't fair
unless his brother takes it
too."
Perhaps Mr. Okum should
have added one more. "He
is enjoying such an orgy of
feasting that he resents being
asked to slow down long
enough to take his medicine
and prevent the inevitable
heartburn."

Letters to the editor
Readers say stories 'erroneous, misleading'
Brown story has
^unfortunate' emphasis
Editor, The Plainsman:
I am writing to correct what
seems to me to be an unfortu­nate
impression left by the
news article in last week's
Plainsman concerning the
coming visit of Dr. Robert
McAfee Brown to our commu­nity.
Dr. Brown, as the article
properly states, has been in,
the public eye in recent
months because of his Look
magazine article of Oct. 31,'
1967, in which he was direct­ly
critical of our nation's
policy in Vietnam. However,
as I intended to make clear
to the Plainsman reporter in
our interview, the invitation
to Dr. Brown was not premised
upon his reputation as a critic
of our Vietnam policy, but
upon his stature as a theolo­gian
and an interpreter of the
Christian faith in our times.
As a matter of record, the in­vitation
to Dr. Brown to come
to Auburn was tendered two
years ago, before his position
on Vietnam was known.
Dr. Brown will lecture here
on the general theme, "Fron­tiers
for the Church." The
topic of his individual lec­tures
are as follows:
Feb. 18-The Ecumenical
Frontier
Feb. 19-The Secular Fron­tier
Feb. 20-The Theological
Frontier
He will, of course, be ac­corded
complete freedom of
expression in his visit to Au­burn,
and it seems likely that
he will, upon occasion, be
willing to express himself on
Vietnam, and to engage in
any ensuing dialogue with any
who are interested.

Senator requests opinion
on nine-month leases
Editor, The Plainsman:
This is a simple request to
the Auburn student body to
make their views known con­cerning
the policy of requiring
nine-month and year leases.
The housing committee has
been going under the assump­tion
that this policy was of
major concern to most Auburn
male students. In order to
continue with the work of the
student government housing
committee, the full support of
the student body will be ne­cessary.
I ask that you call me at
the student body office be­tween
2 and 5 p.m. Monday-through
Friday or that you
contact your school senator
and let your opinions be
known. I thought that this
method would be easier and
quicker than a questionnaire.
The number of the student
body office is 826-4240.

Experimenters claim
nuclear article incorrect
Editor, The Plainsman:
In reference to the article
"Peaceful Use of Nuclear
Energy Seen in the Future"
printed in the Jan. 11 issue
of The Plainsman, we must
correct several major errors
in the te...c. The errors were
corrected in the final copy of
the article which was sup­posed
to be printed.
In the first place, some of
the errors involved statements
that were scientifically in­correct,
while others were
misquotes which in some
cases proved to be very em­barrassing.
We have received
comments from our fellow stu­dents
such as, "What do you
think the sun burns-kero­sene?"
The corrected article
explained that fusion react­ions
occur daily in nature in
the reactions of the sun and
the other stars.
It also doesn't pay to be
"assisted" by your "master"
professor. Please note that
the correct term is major pro­fessor.
Although Dr. Askew
wants us to work like slaves,
we are not. We would like to
emphasize the fact that al­though
the experiment has
some potential dangers to us,
there is almost no possibility
of the reaction becoming un­controlled,
i.e., of an explo­sion.
At times, it would be quite
convenient to " design data,"
especially when the data is
quite difficult to interpret, but
we seldom surmount this pro­blem
by "just sitting and
thinking."
We sincerely hope that all
who read this article will rea­lize

Pasquale's demonstrates
customer consideration
Editor, The Plainsman:
We would like to compli­ment
and management and em­ployees
of Pasquale's on their
unusual consideration of their
customers.
Last Sunday our order was
inadvertently misplaced.
When the manager discovered
this mistake, instead of let­ting
us sit there wondering
what had happened to our
order,he immediately informed
us of the error.
In addition, he made every
effort possible to insure our
prompt service. He did not
charge us for our cokes, and
he had ah employee bring our
order as soon as it was ready.
In our present day hurry and
scurry it is nice to know that
some businesses which serve
the public still show a basic
concern for the welfare of
their customers.

Sports Erfffor
A case of inconsistency
The Tigers came to life Monday night in the sec­ond
half of the Aubum-Vanderbilt game.
Behind at the break by 13 points, Auburn had
played what Coach Bill Lynn called "our poorest
half of basketball of the year."
Lack of consistency, the key to Auburn's 6-7 sea­son,
had the Tigers on the short end of the score
for the third time in four home games. And that's an
odd position for an Auburn basketball team, even
against crack competition like the Commodores.
'Greof second half...
"We played great basketball in the second half,"
said Lynn.
Great in the second half, poor in the first. Incon­sistency.
It's been the story of Auburn basketball
all season long.
And you wonder if Bill Lynn found the solution
to the problem of inconsistency in the second half
of the Vandy game.
The problem was plaguing him a week ago, as he
prepared for Vandy and reflected upon the team's
last two showings, a big win over Mississippi and a
loss to Mississippi State.
"We played an outstanding game against Ole
Miss, our poorest of the season against State," he
said.
'Variety of causes'...
Lynn stated that there had been a variety of
causes for the loss. The team was inexperienced,
having only one senior, guard and captain Alex Ho­well.,
among its first eight regulars. Guard Carl
Shetler, center Bill Alexander and forwards Bob
Wills and Ronnie Jackson are sophomores, while
guard Tom Perry, forward-center David Hurt and Tin­ker
are second-year men. The team was not hitting
the easy shots from in close, and the field goal
shooting was subpar. But these were errors which
could be corrected by coaching and with practice.
What was really bugging Lynn was the fact that
the team had not jelled, had not found a consistent
winning combination. He was hoping that they could
play into such a condition. He was hoping for three
big wins, with the first one coming Monday night
against Vandy.
He didn't get win number one. Now he looks toward
2:15 Saturday and the Kentucky Wildcats, in the
Sports Arena, to see if his team can pick up where
it left off Monday night against Vandy.

Tiger five catches cold early,
suffers loss to tough Vandy
By RICK MORROW
"I've never seen a col­lege
team shoot as bad as
we did in the first half of
the Vanderbilt game.
That's what Auburn bas­ketball
coach Bill Lynn had
to say about the Tiger cold
snap that erased any chances
of beating the nationally
ranked Commodores Monday.
Auburn hit 11.5 per cent in
the first half and despite a
brilliant performance by 6-3
jumor forward Wallace Tinker,
Vandy took a 74-65 win back
to Nashville.
Tinker dumped in 31 points,
including 17 of Auburn's 23
first half points.
Auburn hit only three of 26
field goal attempts in the
first half.
"We didn't take bad shots,"
Lynn said. "We just couldn't
get the ball in. It was a tough
physical contest."
Vandy's All-America can­didate
Tom Hagen fouled out
with eight minutes left in the
game and the Tigers cut the
lead to six on three different
occasions after that, but good
free throw shooting by Ken
Campbell sealed things for
good.
Tinker set an Auburn re­cord
by sinking 17 free throws.
The old mark of 16 was held
by Henry Hart against Ala­bama
in 1959.

rapid advancement.
The last time the Auburn
basketball team faced Ken­tucky
in a regionally tele­vised
game from the Au­burn
Sports Arena, the
Wildcats were ranked num­ber
one in the nation.
The 1967 Kentucky ca-gers
who will face Auburn at
2:15 Saturday afternoon, are
ranked eight notches lower
than their counterparts of two
years ago.
Center Thad Jaracz is the
only remaining starter from
Coach Adolph Rupp's most
recent number one ranked
team. The remaining four
starters, Pat Riley, Louie
Dampier, Tommy Kren, and
Larry Conley are all playing
professional ball now.
10-2 RECORD
This season the Wildcats
have compiled a 10-2 record
with three sophomores in the
starting lineup. Mike Casey
and Mike Pratt are the for­wards
with 6-a Don Issel be­ing
the third sophomore in the
starting five.
Junior Phil Argento holds
down the remaining guard
post for the Wildcats.
Rupp had the worst record
in his career last year win­ning
13 and losing 13. He
said that his team would
bounce back this year and
from all indications he was
correct.
Coach Bill Lynn's Tigers
have played inconsistent ball
all year and presently are six
seven.
Auburn's biggest problem
will be in slowing the fast
break, high scoring offense
that has become a Rupp trade­mark.
HIGH SCORING
The Wildcats are averaging
just under 87 points a game,
second highest in the SEC,
while Auburn defense has
allowed less than 66 points
In 1960, SEC fans asked
' Who's the greatest of 'em all?'
3y ROY RILEY
It was only noon but the ticket line had already reached
across the street and down the sidewalk that bordered
Drake Field, These diehard basketball fans were earning
their good seats in the tiny Sports Arena for the air was
chilly and it would get colder before the gates opened at
6 p.m.
But no one minded the wait. After all, the Kentucky
Wildcats, Adolf Rupp's dandies of the Bluegrass, were
in town to battle Auburn's Seven Dwarfs and the winner
would most likely take the SEC title.

JIMMY FIBBE'S SHOT IS ON WAY IN THRILLER
Clock Shows Five Seconds Left, 60-60 Score
The day was Saturday, Feb. 20.1960.
Four million people watched the game on an special
ETV hookup and what they saw has to be the greatest
basketball game ever played... anywhere.
Kentucky's starting line-up was terrific. They boasted
two All-SEC players, Bill Lickert and Don Mills. They
had the co-MVP of '59 Kentucky Invitational Sid Cohen.
They had Bennie Coffman, a member of the NCAA All-
Tournament team of '59 and the sparkplug, little Dickie.
Parsons.
Auburn had its share of stars, too.
Henry "Po Devil' Hart, everybody's All-SEC choice
that year was the leader. He averaged 14.8 a game.
LEGENDARY PLAYERS
The others are legends also...Jimmy Fibbe (12.5),
Ray Groover (11.8), and Porter Gilbert (11.6).
David Vaughn (11.6) was injured. He cracked an ankle
in the 49-46 win over Georgia Tech and his replacement
was 6-7 John Helmlinger (1.8).
Of the first seven Tigers, only Helmlinger stood tallei
than 6-3. Thus the dub "Seven Dwarfs."
The coach was Joel Eaves. His white hair earned him
the "Snow White" nickname. Helmlinger was called
"Prince Charming" by some.
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall..."
The cameras rolled, Tom Hamlin and Charley Davis
did the announcing, and the battle magnificent was on.
Auburn took an early 10-7lead, its biggest of the night,
but the 'Cats bounced back to take a 32-29 halftime lead
in a contest that saw the lead change hands 40 times.
The ending was the real breath taker.
Kentucky led 56-55 with just under two minutes left.
Groover canned a jump shot at 1:42 to give Auburn a
57-56 lead, but Lickert bagged one of his own to make it
58-57.
AUBURN TAKES LEAD, RUPP CALLS TIME
Less than a minute remained. Then Fibbe hit one from
the corner to make it 59-58.
The pressure was on. Rupp called time.
The Wildcats set up a play and all of a sudden there
was sub Larry Pursiful driving and hitting... Kentucky
60, Auburn 59.
Only 11 seconds remained.
Time out Auburn.
"We'll be back after this message," said Hamlin.
Four million people forgot the quick dash to the ice
box for a cool one.
Mainly because the hot one from Auburn had them glued
to the edge of their seats.
Time was back in. Groover passed in to Fibbe.
Seven, six, five... Fibbe drives for the basket.
"Foul."
Talk about pressure. The Tiger from Frankfort, Ky.,
had a one and one shot coming. A miss meant it was over.
Two hits and it was over for Kentucky.. .maybe.
It was quiet now.
Then another roar.
60-60. And one more shot for Jimmy Fibbe.
Fibbe aimed and fired.
No one could stand it. Hamlin was going absolutely
beserk and for him, that was something. Fibbe's shot hit
nothing but ozone as it whipped through the net and it
was 61-60.
ONE LAST CHANCE
The pass came in from mid-court after a time out. The
next one went to Allen Feldhaus who went around Helm-longer
like Richard Petty sweeping curves at Daytona. It
was an easy lay-up.
But wait.
Helminger reached over Feldhaus and slapped the ris­ing
ball against the backboard and it fell harmlessly to
the floor.
It was over. The horn was sounding, but who could
hear it.
Who could care.
Not even the mirror.
No Tiger walked to the dressing room. The hundreds
who rushed onto the floor carried them. Helmlinger, Hart,
all of them. Even the janitor was in there helping out.
Auburn went on to win the SEC by choking Tennessee
and by stopping Alabama in overtime in Montgomery.
But that's another story for another day.

When the Auburn wrest­lers
faced Virginia Tech
last Saturday at Blacksburg,
Va., they had more going
against them than just one
of the finest wrestling
teams in the East.
Auburn, which wrestles
Georgia Tech tonight at 7:30
in the Sports Arena, narrowly1
lost to Virginia Tech, 21-16,
and during the process of the
trip was plagued by a variety
misfortunes.
The Tiger's miseries began
when a normal 10-hour bus
trip lasted 15 hours, and re­quired
seven bus drivers.
After arriving in Blacks­burg,
three B-team members
turned up with infections and
had to forfeit their matches.
After completing all but
23 seconds of the last match,
the lights went off all over
the campus, and after the
match ended, the team dressed
in darkness with only one
flashlight available.
The troubles weren't over
yet, however. On the trip
home, which required 13
hours, the team bus ran into

Students planning ag equipment, lunar station
By ELAINE WILSON
An Auburn student de­signing
an agricultural sta­tion
for the moon? That's
right-a lunar station tor
growing plants and animals
was the project Ken Smith
and Jim Selman, industrial
design students, undertook
last quarter.
What's more, they and 12
other students earned a
$1,000 grant for the industrial
design department plus an
all-expense paid trip to Kan­sas
City for themselves. The
grant and the trip were spon­sored
by Armco Steel Corpo­ration
to present projects by
students to manufactures of
a g r i c u l t u r a l equipment.
Auburn was one of four
schools in the nation to be
chosen.
The 14 Auburn students
selected for the task were
told to think in terms of 50
years in the future and come
up with "thought provoking
concepts of systems and hard­ware
to satisfy those systems
for soil based crop and live­stock
production." The pro­jects
they came up with were
not just improvements on cur­rent
implements, such as new
seat belts for tractors. They
were entirely new systems.
The lunar agricultural base
by Selman and Smith could be
a valuable asset on the moon.
Humans who may be living
there in future years will be
able to eat the same food
they eat on earth by growing
it themselves. Also, the bac­teria
present on the animals
kept in the station might
keep moon inhabitants from
losing their immunity and
dying of a common disease
on their return to earth.
Another project submitted,
Armco Project I, was a Swine
Production System by Jim
Kinnard, David Shockey and
Skip Nunnally. Based on a
modular unit to allow expan­sion,
the system was semi-automated
and mechanized for
a controlled environment and
controlled quantity and output.
Charles Ingram, James
Murray, and Richard Wachter
presented a Dairy System de­signed
for an automated, com­pletely
industrialized dairy
farm. Mobile milking machines
were designed with automatic
milking attachments and inter­changeable
milk storage
containers.
A system for automated
crop production, was designed
by Doug Hester, John Klinner
and Harry McDowell. Designed
for the concentrated acreage,
flat land farming and reduced
labor force of the future, the
system consisted of a hori­zontal
boom mounted on
tracks.
The fifth Armco project,
a crop production boom
system, was designed for com­plete
production of field crops.
Computer oriented and numeri­cally
censor controlled, it
was the project of Richard
Izard, Gene Calhoun, and
Kenneth Graff.
According to Prof. Walter
Schaer, Chairman of the In­dustrial
Design Department,
these projects will be shown
March 13-14 in New Orleans
and in New York City next
December and will be accom­panied
by several of the stu­dents.
The projects were presented
Jan. 4 and 5 in Kansas City
for a review and critique by
design, engineering and mar­keting
representatives of em-minent
agricultural companies.
The Auburn students presented
their projects along with those
of students from Philadelphia
College of Art, the University
of Illinois and the University
of Kansas.
Jim Selman described the
event as a kind of "meeting
of the minds" between stu­dents
and the men they will be
working for and with in the
future. He felt that students

were-raised a level in the
minds of the business repre­sentatives,
who were in turn
lowered just enough for the
students to realize that they
were human. Selman said
seeing the ideas of other
students across the country
was also a valuable ex­perience.
In the Kansas City meeting,
one of the businessmen is re­ported
to have said that the
students were "a hundred
years ahead of us." A student
from Philadelphia College of
Art replied, "Well then, catch
up!"
