Planner
An architect who helped
plan and coordinate facili­ties
for Florida universities
has been named architect
and campus planner here.
William H. Guerin will work,
directly with the president's
office in long-range develop­ments.
President Harry M.
Philpott announced.
Guerin, who has served
for the past three years as
assistant architect for the
Florida Board of Regents,
will assume his position here
July 1.
"Auburn University is pre­sently
involved in the largest
expansion program in its his­tory
and, to continue its deve­lopment
to meet foreseeable
needs, we must make certain
that our building programs
are planned in the most tho­rough
manner possible," Dr.
Philpott said.
Guerin will be working with
the building committees of.
each school and with the
campus planning committee
in helping to prepare prelimi­nary
plans and programs for
new facilities. These will be
utilized by architectural firms
employed to design the indi­vidual
projects. He will also
assist in the long-range plan­ning
for land-use and location
of buildings.

Dorm 'Siege'
Brings Fines
A "seige" of Dorm H
ended with a "whimper" in­stead
of a "boom" early
Sunday morning when city po­lice
arrested two students for
destruction of state property
and detonating fire arms with­in
the city limits.
At about 3:30 a.m. two Kap­pa
Alpha members assembled
the KA cannon and stuffed it
with dry rags and pulled it
across the lawn of the Presi­dent's
mansion into the Me­morial
Gardens. It was then
fired on the Phi Mu Dorm from
a distance of about 100 yards.
The cannon projectile broke
and tore blinds and drapes in
a dormitory room, according
to Auburn police.
The students pleaded guil­ty
in court Monday to charges,
and each paid the fines:
$107.50 for destruction of
state property and $27.50 for
detonating arms inside the
city limits.

Sing-Out '67, a group of
130 college and high school
students who travel around
the world telling the musi­cal
story of America, will
appear at Cliff Hare Stad­ium
Monday at 7:30 p.m.
Sing-Out, often called
"Up with People," is an
outgrowth of Moral Re-Arma­ment,
Inc. The parent organi­zation
holds "the firm con­viction
that enough men and
women can be found who will
provide leadership to right
what is wrong in the world."
Sing-Out was begun at a
Moral Re-Armament Confer­ence
in the summer of 1965,
and has toured 13 nations,
and appeared at three U.S.
military academies, more
than 80 U.S. military bases
and colleges across the
nation.
A 15-member delegation
of University of Alabama and
Auburn students were special
guests for the first presenta­tion
of Sing-Out on Mackinac
Island, Mich., July 4, 1965.
When the cast appeared at
Annapolis, the midshipmen
gave them a 41-minute round
of applause and a "hats-in-the-
air" salute. After their
program at Waseda University
in Japan, many leftist stu-dents

in secondary education. Her hometown is Birmingham,and
she is an independent living in Dorm F. (See story, page 2)
formance to talk with cast
members. "If this is America,
we are all for i t , " exclaimed
one student leader.
"We show a type of pat­riotism
that is not the old
'you-ought-to -love-your-coun-try'
routine," Mike Walker,
one of the cast members told
the Plainsman Monday. "This
is more of a calm, serious
thing with us.
"As we see it, the world
is going to need responsible
leaders from our generation,
and we hope to provide the
impetus for that kind of
responsibility."
The concert is sponsored
by the three military honor-aries
here: Steerage (Navy),
Scabbard and Blade (Army
and Navy), and Arnold Air
Society (Air Force). Tickets
are on sale in the Union
Building; admission is $1
for high school and college
students and $2 for adults.
John Lakin, publicity di­rector
for the concert, said
this is an unexpected event
for Auburn. "Dean Foy got a
letter from the group a couple
of weeks ago," he said,
"saying that they had four
days between appearances
in Columbus and Huntsville
and would like to come to
Auburn."
Sing-Out is a non-profit
venture; none of the mem­bers
of the cast receive a
salary, and funds for the con­cert
are given back to Moral
Re-Armament.
The committee in charge
of the concert is made up of
the presidents of the three
societies: Skip Reid, Scab­bard
and Blade; Don Giles,
Steerage; and Tom Zorn,
Arnold Air Society.

Witches, Moon, Conjuring
BrightenTuesday Premiere
By BOB SIMS
Darkness falls over the theater, and the witch boy
begins his search for the conjure man.Creeping onto the
platform, he incongruously whispers between his lines,
"Charlie, turn up the l i g h t s . . . I can't see a thing!"
The cast breaks up in laughter.
Such was the beginning
of one of the many long
Rehearsals of the Auburn
Players' "Dark of the
Moon" presentation. The
production will run Tuesday
through Saturday and May
16-20.
"Dark of the Moon," based
on the hill-folk ballad of
Barbara Allen, is an imagi­native
fantasy by Howard
Richardson and William
Berney. Although not a musi­cal,
the play features several
musical selections.
The play is presentational
in that it offers one vague
setting for all scenes in the
play, all else comes from
the performance. During re­hearsal
the director calls
out lighting changes and at­tempts
to perfect the effect
of the music and mountain
dialect.
In addition to overcoming
performing problems which
spring up from a presenta­tional
play, each player
must maintain his own cos­tume,
assist in making the
set, and take charge of cer­tain
props.
In the story the lore and
legends of the Smoky Moun­tain
folk and their chants,
hymns and dances are inter­laced
with the story of a
witch boy who woos and weds
a mortal girl.

The infirmary: Part II
Outdated Facilities Plague Staff
By JERRY BROWN
Editor
Much of Drake Infirmary is a throwback to the dark
days of the *30's when it was built.
Space and many of the facilities are the same, but
modifications have been made to keep the facilities
updated.
The struggle to keep pace with the medical times-with
less space per patient, aging equipment, and no air-conditioning-
has been taxing on the infirmary's staff
and Auburn students.
"We're using the same space we had when I came here
in 1950," says Dr. Morgan W. Brown, head of Drake Infir­mary.
Today the enrollment is twice that of 1950 and Dr.
Brown and his staff are charged with the same respon­sibilities
they had 17 years ago: give students the best
possible health service possible. Even with more doctors
and nurses, the job is still tremendous. Last Monday the
infirmary treated 131 patients.
BROWN PRAISES STAFF
Dr. Brown praised his staff for helping Drake meet the
needs of a growing Auburn. But, while he says Drake
Infirmary is not an emergency case yet, some changes,
in equipment and space need to be made for the infirmary
to keep pace.
What does Drake Infirmary have and what changes need
to be made to increase service?
For a look, Dr. Brown showed the Plainsman Drake In­firmary,
settled in its own little world, in the basin below
Mag Dorms.
The first floor lobby branches into four wings. Four
physicians have offices and examining rooms in these
wings. There is also a special room for physical therapy,
an emergency operating suite. an x-ray room, nurses sta-^
tion, a temporary ward to check the overflow from up­stairs,
and an office for Drake's once-a-weekpyschiatrist.
As it did in 1950 the second floor still contains 65
beds-divided with men on the west end of the infirmary
and women on the east. It also has a nurses station, and
a lab, where all standard lab tech chores are performed.
The examining rooms, and nurses stations on the first
floor are typical of any small clinic. But the services
aren't.
THERAPY IS BRIGHT SPOT
Physical therapy is a bright spot in the Drake story.
Auburn is one of the few schools to have a physical
therapy unit to care for strains, sprains, and bruises. A
licensed physical therapist comes to Drake twice weekly
to care for patients with strained backs, sprained ankles,
pulled muscles, and "cricks" in their necks. The thera­pist,
Miss Martha Bryan, is pleased with the ultra-sonic
wave machine-for deep heating muscles, with the stimu­lating
machine-for contracting sore muscles, and with
the moist heat unit, filled with hot, wet packs for sooth­ing
sore muscle s.
But even this virtue, is not as good as it could be.
Miss Bryan needs more space. Her little room has a
blackboard on its walls from earlier days; the paint is
flaking on the walls. "The time element is important,
too," Miss Bryan says, "since I only come twice weekly
(Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-4 in the afternoon) stu­dents
with acute sprains have to wait. It takes longer for
treatment. The cases are harder to work with."
Beyond Miss Bryan's therapy room is the x-ray room.
According to Ray Attleberger, instructor in lab tech, and
supervisor of Drake's lab and x-ray departments, the
equipment is "old, but for our type work, it's adequate."
"A new machine would give better quality," he said.
Down the first floor, the west wing hall opens into a
white-tiled shining emergency operating room. With oxy­gen
units, white pans, clean linens, it looks like the ope­rating
room from in a movie from the 30's. The small
operating table is far from the massive tables of larger
hospitals.
It is used now for emergency cases only. Dr. Brown
says accident cases get treatment for shock and exces­sive
bleeding there before they are transferred to other
hospitals.
"Operations could be performed here," Dr. Brown said
with hesitation, "but we have no administering facili­ties
for full anethesiation." Ether is sometimes used, he
said, when bones are being set. For the most part, the
room is used for setting and plastering broken bones.
IN THE LAB
Lab technician Attleberger said the testing facilities
are adequate. For special tests, Lee County Hospital
co-operates with the infirmary, he said. The Drake lab
performs urinalyses, blood tests, venereal disease tests,
throat smears, breathing tests, and fecal analyses. In­structor
Attleberger is assisted by lab tech students
taking the infirmary lab clinic course for credit.
THE AMBULANCE
Dr. Brown was proud of the new ambulance, which he
has been "trying to get for a year." It's not pretty, Dr.
Brown said of the Falcon econ-o-line van, but it does the

job. The new ambulance has special apparatus for oxygen
and intravenous transfusions, its three drivers are students
who live in the infirmary.
What we need here is air-conditioning. Dr. Brown said.
"I have been trying to get window-units from the build­ings
and grounds department," he said. "I don't see why
we have to wait. It would be a real benefit to the patients
and to our staff."
AN OVERALL VIEW
It has been almost 30 years now since the red-brick in­firmary
was built. Dr. Brown took an overview of the
facilities and complimented his staff for "doing the job
that we are doing." A need for more room, more doctors,
more nurses, and updated equipment presses the Drake
Infirmary staff. "We need more money to work with
too," Dr. Brown added.
The condition is not an emergency yet, Dr. Brown said,
praising his staff for "bending over backward." But he
insists that "one of these days-with so much to do-we're
going to have a catastrophe."
Time will tell if Dr. Morgan W. Brown is a prophet or
only a concerned physician.
Next week: A look at the student side: How do stu­dents
leel about the adequacy of the infirmary's service?

In a recent story on the lib­rary
the Plainsman erroneous­ly
stated that the Auburn De­velopment
Fund has collected
S2 million annually, and that,
library expenditures of ADF
funds this year totalled
$737,000.
The statement should have
said that ADF had collected
$2 million over a period of
several years, and that the
library had been allotted
$787,000 of the ADF with
which to purchase books, mag­azines,
and films.
In another story concerning
off-campus housing, the
Plainsman stated incorrectly
that no more applications for
the fall quarter were being
accepted. The admissions of­fice
is still taking applica­tions.

NO HANDICAP
Brewer's youth proved to
be no handicap, for in 1963
he was elected Speaker of
the House by his own col-legues.
Brewer at that time
was the youngest house
speaker in the United States

A bulletin board for the

was erected on the

to a theater marquee, was
sponsored by the Student

A student committee will
be appointed by Charles Ben-tley,
student body president­elect,
to screen applications
for space on the board. This
committee will also keep an­nouncements
updated and
handle maintenance of the
lettering and board.
The board has about 40
square feet available for six
notices. A permanent brick
base will be constructed be­fore
the end of the quarter to
replace its temporary founda­tion.
"The bulletin board was
purchased in hopes that it
would help improve communi­cations
on campus," said
Phil Hardee, student body
president. "Activities are
in progress somewhere on
campus at almost any hour of
the day, and students need a
way to find out about them.'"

Entertainment Committee
Cites lack Of Money'
Lack of money is the
largest problem for the Pop­ular
Entertainment Committee,
said Chairman Vernon Wells.
Inadequate facilities, student
attitude, and difficulty in
processing contracts were
also cited as drawbacks to
the effectiveness of the com­mittee's
program.
"The committee had an
estimated budget of 815,000
this year, but this proved
optimistic," said Wells.
Money from the student gov­ernment
amounted to $5,400
while ticket sales raised
$fi.500.
"With such an unstable
budget, it is almost impos­sible
for us to plan ahead.
Yet the entertainers must be
contacted months in advance
so they can plan their tours,"
Wells said.
The Popular Entertainment
Committee is allocated 2.25
per cent of the student act­ivities
fee, which amounts
to just slightly over 50 cents
per student each year. "If
they would give us just 25
cents per student each quar­ter,
we would have a base
of $9,000 to start with,"
Wells said.
"We have three or four
performances a year and
serve more students than
the Lecture and Concert
series with its five or six
events. Yet we get only 2;35
per cent of student activities
fees while they get 7.5 per
cent," Wells continued.
"This doesn't seem fair to
the student. Faculty and
townspeople attend the lec­ture
and concert series while
most of the students don't
attend."
SOLUTION PENDING
The present problem of
inadequate facilities should
be solved when the new
sports arena is completed
with its 13,500-seat audi­torium.
The Student Activities
Building seats 2,000 people.
A related problem of
acoustics was solved by the
recent purchase of a new
sound system. Prior to this
purchase it had been neces­sary
to rent a sound system
for $250 per night.
Student attitude is also a
problem. Better quality en­tertainers
could be obtained

heads. Joe Norris, a
senior in mechanical engin­eering,
said, "The publica­tion
heads represent the stu­dent
body in a student en­terprise,
so I think they
should be elected."
Other questions provoking
varied comment concerned
improvement of the campaigns
to interest more voters, and
how the student government
could better inform the stu­dents
of its plans and actions.
Bob Smith, a graduate
student in speech, thought
that campaign interest could
be increased by reducing
the restrictions on the can­didates.

Smith. "The candidates
have no opportunity to dis­play
imagination or ingenui­ty,
therefore, they all 'look'
the same. Voters do not know
one from another and don't
care," Smith continued.
"Some of the offices were
well represented, but the
school elections were banal.
Perhaps interviews on ETV
along with interesting panal
discussions to see if the

arouse the voters," said Lee
Brown, a junior in aviation
management.
Carlisle Stephenson, a

suggested that "gen­eral
announcements on when

could be accomplished through
the use of sound trucks, by
posting signs on the outside

making announcements in the
Union Building," he said.
Eighty-seven per cent of
the students interviewed
said that student govern­ment
could better communi­cate
with the student body
through the Plainsman. "The
most direct way to keep the
students abreast of student
government plans and actions
would be to publish these
events in the Plainsman,
using more vivid articles to
arouse interest," said Larry
Gross, a junior in electrical
engineering.

Library Announces Numerous Policy Changes
By ED GOUEDY
News Editor
Sooner or later, one quar­ter
during his stay at Au­burn,
almost every student
goes to the library one hour
each week to take LY 101,
Use of the Library. To
many, this means a great
deal of work-added hours
in the library trying to find
books tnat don't seem to oe
there-while to others it may
mean little, if any, outside
work at all.
Beginning in September,
however, all LY101 classes
will be at least partially stan­dardized.
The library is pre­paring
seven 50-minute films
for use in these classes.
"This is purely experimen-j
tal," said Dr. Joseph YeagerJ
head of the library committee.
"We hope to make better use
library personnel by freeing
them to do other work, and at
the same time provide more
standardized teaching of the
course.
"We have made some other
innovations," he continued,
"and we hope that other re­commendations
will follow
after the external investigat­ing
committee makes its re­port."
The external committee is a
group of three library experts
appointed by Dr. Philpott to
study present library condi­tions
and make recommenda­tions.
Dr. McCoy, of Southern
Illinois University, whose
specialty is library personnel,
will head the committee.
He will be assisted by Drs.
Ralph Parker of the University
of Missouri and Robert W. Orr
of Iowa State.
The committee will make
its suggestions to Dr. Wilford
Bailey, Vice President in
charge of Academic Affairs,
and to Dr. Philpott.
A number of significant im­provements
have already been
made. Among these are:
-A move by the library com­mittee
to experiment with blan­ket
order purchasing. Already
in use in some departments,
this means that a publisher
will automatically send cop­ies
of all the books he prints.

The Fine Line Of Favoritism
We are not qualified to comment on
the accusations subtly received that
favoritism figured in selections for
new members of one of the more pro­minent
co-ed honoraries.
Our complaints have been centered
around the sorority-pull, the disre­gard
for women students who had
apparently-from their viewpoint-been
fully qualified.
The honorary knows its own affairs,
however, better than all of those who
stand outside looking in. If favoritism
is involved, we are sorry for the
deserving girls who got left out. If
not, we are sorry for the unfair criti­cism
which the honorary has been
getting.
It would be fallacious for anyone
to say "after this, therefore because
of this" when they examine the new
ranks. But we hope that the honorary-because
it is near the summit of stu­dent
life-will realize that its actions
-good and bad-are being watched
and commented on.
The whole matter should stop now,
with no disrespect for the new mem­bers
of the honorary.
.»jyy,r fw'».'t',.-.
How About Some 'Regular' Notables?
When we hear about Supreme Court
Justice Tom Clark and Pulitzer-prize
winning reporter Malcolme Browne
coming to the University of Alabama
for "non-conference" talks, we get
just a trifling mad. What is it with
Auburn? Don't we have the "pull"
to bring in regular nationally-known
speakers in areas besides engineering
and physics? How about some top
politicians, news figures?
It would seem Alabama's continuing
array of speakers-from Bobby Kennedy
to Dean Rusk-would hurt the Auburn
pride and stimulate some of the trip-taking
administrators to stop off in
Washington, do some public relations
work, and attract the notables of the
the day. Some top speakers could
help Auburn students feel that they
are "just as good as the people in
Tuscaloosa." A few prominent speak­ers
would help the Auburn image.
And they might even be educational.
Honoraries And Honor
Honoraries are good things to be­long
to. They are pinnacles to let us
know that good works do not go unre­warded.
Into this world of honoraries, let
us introduce a point of honor. When
Cwens, Squires, and ODK select
their members, beware of the tag:
"I worked for the Plainsman.'" We
are flattered that pouring sweat into
this publication is a basis for merit,
but some of the "honorees," are
phantoms as far as we are concerned.
They may have stopped in for a pledge
point an eon ago, but they are not
"Members of The Staff."
It's bad enough when reporters fail
quizzes, cut classes, and fight their
girl friends and roommates when they
have spent several hours preparing
the paper. But it's even worse when
some natty scholar, who may have
placed one disdainful pinkie on a
news story, is named to an activity
honorary with our battered badge of
honor around his proud neck. It is
not fair, and furthermore, it is not
honorable.
Cassius Clay And Ron Castille
Cassius Clay, who's now a Tuske-gee
farmer and our new neighbor to
the south, has refused to fight for
the country on the basis of his reli­gion.
He's Muhammed Ali now, the
world famous boxer. He'll fight for
anything except his country.
Ron Castille, former Plainsman
columnist, was just a Marine lieu­tenant
in Viet Nam. He didn't dodge
the draft. He took what the govern­ment
said and he did his job. He also
paid a price. He's in Bethesda Naval
Hospital now, recuperating from a se­rious
wound which threatened his life.
There's no doubt which man we
feel is greater in the hearts of his
fellowmen. Clay has got everything-but
nothing. The reverse is true for
Castille.
So Clay is just next door now. We
have only one thing to say for him:
"Good fences make good neighbors."

Love Sweet Love:
Can Spring Find You?
By Jerry Brown
It is spring, a time for lovers to stroll
down sentimental lanes, a time for after­noons
to be spent in the corporeal pleasures of youth, of long,
long thoughts, and-as in every Spring-it will be a time for
some to discover, as they have not before, the revelation of
Love.
Love is a difficult topic
to discuss because too many
people already have set
notions of what it is and
isn't. Every writer from
Aristotle to Wordsworth to
Josh Billings has thrown
his personal potato into the
stew pot of love. Giving his­torical
significance, trying
to make all the different
concepts of love fit into our
time-that is the problem.
We aren't exactly Platonic,
or Wordsworthian, or even
realistic about love. What
are we? Is there some col­lective
grouping in which
this tumultuous, turbulent
generation can define the
way it feels about love?
"I love you," he said to
her, as they left the club,
the neon flashing in their
eyes, as they wound in a
world tinted by the roses of
few cares, back to her dorm,
where she would surely tell
her roommate that his dark
eyes, his little boyish grin,
had become very dear to
her. She would wait for his
call. She would feel. that
special chill that only a
freshman, or sophomore,
could feel when she knows
somewhere, in this sometimes
foreign climate, somebody
cares for her.
And what of the boy? He
is still confused about sex,
and mingled with it is
something he's not quite
sure about-but he thinks
it's love. He has some­body,
too; and the fire of
conquest is contained-in
varying degrees-within his
spirited soul.
There is another picture.
They meet in a class; they
become friendly; two years
of dating patterns-parties,
football games, even a spring
or two-all pass before they
just happen to date. It is
not the turbulent dating of
earlier days. Its fire is
stronger, quieter, more mas­culine
on his part, more
feminine on hers. It is a
After The Horse
time for teas, and movies,
and afternoons in apart­ments,
shirt sleeves, more
relaxation, a few fraternity
parties, conversation.
Which of these is "love?"
If you would choose either,
you'd be wrong. Both are
only pictures, painted by a
general, generous brush.
Where is the hell of reality?
Where is the guy who breaks
dates, falls out of love as
quickly as he falls in? And
where is the demoniac .coed
who lies, cheats, steals
hearts? Where is the other
end of the spectrum? And
where is Love?
It is spring. And our tremb­ling,
little generation is
charged with the same task
as any other. Somewhere-along
primrose paths, shady
lanes, afternoons blessed
with only that essence youth
can give-there must be love.
Not syrupy sentiment, not
store-bought notions, not
cruelty, not the security of
cynicism, but something dif­ferent,
real, challenging. It
is not the flash or neon, or
the superficial chill of new
snow; it is not the ease and
comfort of being "old enough
to rise above the troubles."
Love lingers like an indes­cribable
aura; it comes to
each in its own way, mani­fests
in its own way, ends
or perpetuates itself in its
own way.
Add the flash, the sex,
the security, the frustration,
the companionship together
and you come to that baf­fling
truth which wise men
seek to prove, cynics to dis­prove:
the total of Love is
greater than the sum of its
negative and positive parts.
On Spring's shaded lanes,
our strolling generation gets
some exposure to the con­verging
factors. It is a good
time for long thoughts, and
afternoons of discovering-with
personal ecstasy-that
beyond the words of a hun­dred
philosophers our gen­eration
can find its own way.
Wallace Will Affect
Presidential Race
By Lyn Scarbrough
The recent northern speaking tour by for­mer
governor George Wallace rekindled
flames of doubt about the impact his proposed 1968 presiden­tial
candidacy will carry on the election.
Although he met more surface indifference than on some
other out-of-state trips, he displayed the same old Wallace
ability to get the most out he found personally suitable.
of the situation.
His bitter attacks on the
federal judiciary, President
Johnson, civil rights groups,
and anti-war demonstrators
were heard by generally po­lite
audiences. On several
occasions he received stan­ding
ovations for his efforts.
The national publicity he
received from newspapers
and television was his big­gest
gain. He must get this
recognition to put his views
before the people, and get
it he did. When the anti-
Wallace demonstrators went
into the streets, the publi­city
they received only
helped the Wallace cause.
In Syracuse he was
greeted by marchers, heck­lers,
and walk-outers. In
Pittsburg his appearance be­fore
the Amen Corner, a
group of influential city
leaders, caused action by
the mayor and numerous
cancellations from promi­nent
national figures who
were suddenly "ill and un­able
to attend." Sidewalk
picketers' were at every
stop, Wallace thrives on
such.
In an appearance on
"Meet the Press" Sunday
before launching his speak­ing
swing, Wallace promised
to run for President if the
two major parties offered no
candidate or platform which
He later said that at this
time the only potential can­didate
that would satisfy
him is himself,
Whether he will be a can­didate
is at the present
time purely conjecture. But
the majority of political ex­perts
seem to think that he
will. He travels to New
Hampshire soon to sample
public sentiment and decide
if he will run in the first of
state presidential primaries.
Wallace has proven his
vote getting ability, not only
through his unprecedented
popularity in Alabama, but
in the 1964 presidential pri­maries
in Wisconsin, Indi­ana,
and Maryland.
Whether votes for Wallace
are cast due to the much pu­blicized
"white backlash"
or due to sincere liking for
the Wallace plan of govern­ment,
national politicians
had best realize that his
name will draw a substan­tial
number of votes through­out
the country. In a close
election the votes he takes
from either candidate could
decide the winner.
This is not to say that he
has even the slightest
chance of moving into the
White House if President
Johnson is chosen to vacate
it. It is also not to say that
he would necessarily be the
best of the potential candi-

An Auburn Answer . . .
What Happens After
We Win Viet War?
By lee Sentell
Because some of our Auburn students
will unquestionably be among the estimated
half million soldiers in Vietnam
of "What will happen after the
comment in this newspaper.
The United States has never
political strategum and even
though this conflict was not
of our own choosing, because
of our ultimately massive
capabilities there is no rea­son
to believe we shall lose
in the present military en­counter.
First the chronology of our
involvement must be under­stood.
The U. S. role grew
fait accompli through a se­ries
of small limited steps,
each successive step de­signed
to make the next one
unnecessary. The war itself
has been a strange, cruel
one, an untidy conflict, alien
to the American experience
in modern hi story-combat
without front lines, fixed po­sitions,
clearly defined terri­torial
boundaries, in which
the enemy is often indistin­guishable
from the Vietna­mese
ally.
Regardless of President
Johnson's assertion that
"we seek no wider war,"
nearly each week brings in­creased
military action as we
ease off the brakes toward
total bombardment of North
Vietnam.
To digress a moment, this
columnist, like most Auburn
students, grew up amidst the
praising of Uncle Ike, learned
to say the Pledge of Allegi­ance
upon learning to speak,
and honestly believed that
because of the Cinderella­like
rise of America, we had
God and his Divine Wisdom
on our side and therefore we
could do no wrong.
With maturity comes the
harsh reality of no Santa
Claus and the falibility of
America's leaders, whose
decisions are not handed
down from Above. In view of
our present course in Asia,
another voice of dissent must
be added to the growing num­ber
of those honestly con­cerned
with the misdirection
of American leadership.
Those who seek to hush
this dissent cry "Treason!"
They quote Stephen Decatur
in saying, "Our country,
right or wrong." Perhaps
they should finish the state­ment
as did Carl Shurz in a
1872 address to Congress:
"Our country, right or wrong.
When right, to be kept right;
when wrong, to be put right,"
For those who simply
by the years end, the question
American victory?" deserves
lost a war through military or
shout for support of "our
fighting men in Vietnam,"
one can register only pity
for these soldiers who are
tools of leaders who don't
seem to know where they've
been, much less where they
are going.
Our country should not be
asked to shoulder the main
burden of determining the pro-litical
realities in any other
country, and particularly not
in one remote from our
shores, from our cultures,
and from the experience of
our people. This is not only
not our business, but we can­not
doit successfully.
This paraphrases the
words of John Quincy Adams,
who on the Fourth of July
1821. said:
"Wherever the standard ol
freedom and independence
has been or shall be unfurled,
there will be America's
heart, her benedictions, and
her prayers. She is the well-wisher
to the freedom and
independence of all. But she
goes not abroad in search ol
monsters to destroy.
"She well knows that by
once enlisting under other
banners than her own, were
they even the banners of fo­reign
independence, she
would involve herself beyond
the power of extrication, in
all the wars of interest and
intrigue, which assume the
colors and usurp the stan­dards
of freedom.
"The fundamental maxims
of her policy would insensi­bly
change from liberty to
force She might become
the dictatress of the world.
She would no longer be the
ruler of her own spirit."
To answer the question
following an American mili­tary
victory, we will find our­selves
occupying a country
of some 13 million indivi­duals,
who don't trust their
own leaders and cannot be
expected to trust the Ameri­can
"imperialists." The war
will not be settled on the bat­tlefields.
Because only with
increased policing will we be
able to "keep the peace."
The fundamental maxims of
our policy will have insen­sibly
changed from liberty
to force.
dates for the job.
But every time a Martin
Luther King ties the great
civil rights movement to the
anti-war demon st rat ions,
Wallace gains votes. And
every time a Cassius Clay
refuses to fight for his coun­try,
Wallace gains votes.
And every time there is a
riot in Watts, Harlem, Cleve­land,
or Selma, Wallace
gains votes.
His following will come
from the cafe owner who can­not
choose who to serve, the
worker who cannot choose
his union rights, the home
builder or landlord who must
sell or rent to anyone, and
the families of the fighting
men overseas who may be
dissatisfied with the war
effort.
A realistic look shows the
improbability that 1968 will
be the Wallace year. He will
not win, but if he runs he
will have an effect on both
the election outcome and on
nation-wide opinion. He
will draw votes from Demo­crats
and Republicans alike.
If the major parties do
not cope with the Wallace
threat soon, they may find
themselves trying to close
the gate after the horse has
gotten out.

Midwinter,
A Ferry Ride,
An Old Lady
By Bruce Nichols
We climbed out of the sub­way
onto the floor of the
city again.
In midwinter, the battery
grounds at the tip of Man­hattan
Island are brownish
straw and the trees are not
green. As we walked, their
dark branches
scratched the
skyline build­ings
grown
gray-black in
the odorous,
corrod i n g
Ibreath of the
city. The air
smelled a
hundred years
old, like the
accumulated waste of disease,
like dying.
Brisk steps across the
dank concrete stirred a som­ber
gathering of pigeons into
sluggish disarray. The cut
of the wind brought no fresh­ness.
Only a cold turbulent
stale ness came off New York
Harbor.
At the end of the walk
waited a tossing, aged ferry,
with park benches scattered
across two decks and a
stand between the upper and
lower levels offering taste­less
coneys and chemical-tasting
mustard on buns.
"Seventy-five cents-
Round Trip to Liberty Is­land"
the sign above the
gate read. The rust stain
spreading across the "Seven­ty-
five" made the message
a little weary.
As the vessel bumped,
then edged carefully away
from the battery sea wall and
out into the harbor, the north­western
horizon behind ex­panded
to include first the
Hudson and East River docks,
then the Brooklyn Bridge.
But the grey smog hid life,
only shadowy forms of stone
and steel were there.
To the southeast, our ob­jective
climbed and broadened
slowly from dark formless­ness
into the dull greenish
detail of tarnished face, robe,
crown and unlit torch.
Liberty's metallic person­ification
standing alone on
the island had all the beauty
and grace of an aged pelican
perched on a decayed pier.
On the island, low-growing
evergreens struggled to cheer
the grey of the smoggy sky,
the bare island, and the
stark granite of the statue's
pedestal.
The trip up into the crown
began in a room with grease-stained
walls and worn floors
and ended crouching in the
tower compartment peering
through eight-by-eight inch
panes into the New York smog.
The view, the room, the
people were cola. vVe hurried
down and through the exits
into a concrete cell filled
with memorabilia. Somewhere
there, a book with Emma
Lazarus' poem lay a. .ong old
pictures, specifications, num­bers,
and dates grown dim.:
vVe crossed onto the ferry
walking ten feet above the
cancer-like growth of rotted
paper, dirty foam, and waste
muck contributed by increas­ingly
filthy harbor wash to the
island's stone retaining walls.
The ride back was empty
and sad.

that it just cannot be di­gested.
Usually in such a situa­tion,
we go back to the line
and ask for a banana for a
sandwich-only to be greeted
by some wise guy who says,
"What's a banana?" This not
only results in no food but a
frustrated coed who then
would not even be able to di­gest
a prime rib steak.
I must admit that they do
serve delicious muffins, but
then if you ask for a second
one, they either refuse to
give one up or sometimes you
will have it thrown at your
tray.
The breakfast meal is usu­ally
cold and greasy which
does not do anything to help
a coed just before a quiz. It
must be remembered that
some coeds do not eat break­fast
for this reason, yet they
are required to pay the full
price for a meal ticket. It
seems only fair that they
should be able to make up
for this inadequacy at other
meals.
Unless some changes are
made immediately, I would
not be at all surprised if the
Women's Dining Hall were
boycotted. It is just unfair
for the University to require
that we pay for such ineffi­cient
service.

WAUD Hews Bulletin
On 'Initiation'Deplored
Editor, the Plainsman:
I would like to call your
attention to some news bul­letins
furnished by radio sta­tion
WAUD on the weekend of
April 8-9 and their effects on
the fraternity system in gene­ral.
The station released a re­port
saying that "a boy with
severe body lacerations had
been found in the vicinity of
the rock quarry and was al­most
naked." The report con­cluded
with "the boy was be­lieved
to have been going
through fraternity initiation."
After hearing these reports
and checking with the frater­nities
who were holding ini­tiation,
I called the Auburn
Police Department to verify
the report. They told me that
the incident was a result of
a practical joke from "a
bunch of boys who were riding
around," the boy was only
"scratched up," and "there
was no fraternity involved."
I also checked with school
officials who verified the po­lice
report and stated that it
was not a part of fraternity
initiation. Although we have
discussed this matter with
radio station WAUD and have
informed them of their incor­rect
report, the damage has
already been done. The repu­tation
of all Greeks has been
scarred in the public view.
We are only thankful that
this was not a serious inci­dent
and that it did not re­ceive
statewide and national
attention before it could be
corrected. Fraternity publi­city
seems to suffer from the
fact that "bad news travels
fast," whereas outstanding
accomplishment such as one
fraternity's contributing an
overwhelming percentage of
blood to the Viet Nam blood
drive reaches very few news
media.
We would like to commend
your fine staff for outstanding
recognition of Greeks when
credit is due and for the
exact and actual reporting of
news.

Nix Guides Tigers On SEC Titie Chase
By GUY RHODES
"The only superstition that I have is seeing more
runs on the scoreboard for Alburn than our opponent
at the end of the game," says coach Paul Nix con­cerning
baseball superstitions.
In Nix's case the superstition is beginning to
look like a habit.
In 22 of the 28 Auburn baseball games this sea­son,
Nix's team has had more runs on the score­board
than the opponent.
NOT A BAD HABIT
That's not a bad habit to get into.
Winning ballgames is not a new experience for
Nix.
In four complete years in Auburn, Nix has pro­duced
three eastern division and one SEC cham­pionship
ballclub.
In beating the Florida Gators in decisive confe-
High School Meet
Slated Here
Friday, Saturday
High school track takes
the sports spotlight here
Friday and Saturday as the
best of Alabama's track
and field men gather for
the 18th annual state
meet.
Two new events have
been added in class 3A, the
two-mile and the triple jump,
making this the biggest state
meet of them all.
Preliminaries are sche­duled
for Friday afternoon in
most events, however, finals
will be run off in five Class
3A events, long jump, triple
jumps, shot put, pole vault
and two-mile. The 4A shot
finals will also be on Friday.
Only one champion, pole
vaulter Charles Glasscock of
Lanier, returns to defend his
title in the Class 4A Meet,
but two other 1966 winners,
(See Track, Page 7)
rence games last weekend in Plainsman Park, the
Tigers moved one step closer to representing the
Eastern Division in the SEC playoffs this year.
There were numerous mistakes for both Florida
and Auburn, but the Tigers demonstrated just what
type of team they are when they dropped four runs
behind on Friday and two runs down on Saturday
only to come back and win hnth ballgames.
QUIT OR GET TOUGH
"When a team gets behind the way our boys did,
there are two things that can happen-they canquit
or they can get tough and battle all the way for the
win. We feel like our boys have been getting tough
all year," says Nix.
Prior to the Florida games, the Tigers had won
three of their last four contest with last inning
scores.
Coaches have a tendency to talk readily about
their boys but little about their own contribution to
the team.
Nix is no exception.
He talks at length about his players.
RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
His record speaks for itself.
He gets the good ballplayers to come to Auburn
because they want to be associated with a winner,
and Nix is a winner.
In return the players are expected to work hard
and make sacrifices to become champions.
This year Nix developed some young ballplayers
to face SEC competition.
With Nix working with younger boys, their develop­ment
has put the Tigers on the road to a possible
championship.
Sophomore Rick Countryman, a converted short-
Paul Nix Sings . . .
stop, has developed into a fine defensive center-fielder
and as a hitter he leads the SEC with a near
. 400 average.
Two freshmen pitchers, Tommy Smith and Gene
Collins have won seven games, while losing only
one.
But when ball clubs are winning as many games
as Auburn there has to be senior leadership dis­played.
With Q.V. Lowe, Jim Blauser, Scotty Long, Pete
McKenzie, and Ray Cox playing steady ball, the
Tigers have more than enough of the senior leader­ship
required.
"I hope we win the SEC for our seniors. They've
done a great job for us and they deserve the cham­pionship,"
says Nix.
Paul Nix deserves a championship too, and he'll
get it if his past record is any indication of the
futurel

Complete Unbeaten Dual Meet Season
By RICHARD WITTISH
Auourn's track team
wound up its 1967 dual
meet season in undefeated
fashion, beating Georgia
Tech 88-57 in Atlanta Sat­urday.
The win gave the Tig­ers
a 4-0 dual meet record
land was the
tenth straight
over a span
of three
years.
Coach Mel
Rosen has
now directed
Auburn to 15
victories in
17 dual meets
WITTISH during' his
four-year tenure.
The Tigers do not compete
in a meet this weekend, but
Rosen said his charges will
be running exhibitions during
the state high school meet
Saturday in Cliff Hare Sta­dium.
STAR OF MEET
"Dan Loftin was the star
of the Tech meet for us,"
said Rosen.
Loftin raced to :54.2 in the
440-yard hurdles, an Auburn
record.
"He's coming along every
week," added Rosen. "He
broke into the top five of the
conference in the intermediate
hurdles."
Joe Bush, Pete Ginter, and
Robert Maxwell gave Auburn
a sweep in the 440-yard dash,

Football Drills Continue;
Sophmores Impressive
By JIM DYKES
If spring practice is any indication of what the foot­ball
Tigers of'67 are going to be like, then fall quarter
sophomores will be playing an important role.
Several of the upcoming sophomores have been atten­tion-
getters in spring drills
thus far, and are looked to
for much needed depth for
the coming season.
Two of last year's top
freshman performers are play­ing
on the first units. Buddy
McClinton is the number one
safety and
is continuing
from where
he left off
l a s t fall
where he
played every
minute as a
freshman.
Offensively,
Bobby La-
DYKES France has
been outstanding.
A broken hand sidelined
him for his freshman season,
but the ex-halfback is now
the first team tight end. In
four game-type scrimmages,
Bobby has caught seven
touchdown passes.
"Offensively, Bobby is our
biggest surprise," said Coach
Ralph "Shug" Jordan. It is
Bobby's performance that
allowed the line change of
Don Randolph and Bucky
Howard to give added block­ing
power.
SECOND UNITS
The second units are-load­ed
with sophomore talent.
Mike Kolen is seeing a good
deal of action as a linebacker
and the same is true for Mike
Holtzclaw. Sonny Ferguson,
a non-scholarship player, is
the second unit rover while
Merrill Shirley is playing
defensive side back.
Both second unit defensive
tackles are sophomores.

ter of his career.
This trio later teamed with
Loftin to win the mile relay.
Jack Marsh leaped to double
wins in the broad jump and
the triple jump, and Andy
Gross finished second in the
shot put and the discus.

3an wrap-up the Southeas­tern
Conference eastern di­vision
championship with
two other wins over Georgia
this weekend. The Tigers
moved into the lead with
victories over Florida Fri­day
and Saturday.
The victories over Florida
left the Gators 1% games be­hind
the front-running Tigers.
Florida hosts Tennessee Fri­day
and Saturday and one Ga­tor
loss will assure Auburn of
at least a tie for the division
crown.
Two Tiger

will give the
title to Auburn
Auburn is 13-2
and Florida is
11-3. In case
of a tie, a
playoff on a
SHELL nuetral field
will be held.
"We would like to win the
SEC championship if we win
in the divisional title," Nix
said. "But we're just thinking
about Georgia right now." The
Tigers came from behind in
both games against Florida to
win 9-8 and 5-2.
Florida jumped out to a four-run
lead Friday, but Auburn
cut the margin to one with a
three-run third inning.
Auburn took a 9-4 lead in
the fifth with six runs on hits

"Valentine has very good
speed and was more than just
a strong inside runner. He
could go all-the-way, after
having to break tackles at the
line. He's a good athlete and
could play in the offensive
line as well as in the back-field."
tfhigham says.
As a senior, .Valentine
scored 10 touchdowns in eight
games. He has already been
selected to play in the Flor­ida
High School All-Star
game.
Two other members of the
Melbourne team have already
signed with the Tigers.
Tuskegee scored in the
first quarter on a 15-yard
kick that got by goalie
Pat Wagonner.
Auburn's goal came half­way
through the second quar­ter
on a 30-yard direct kick.
Saadi faked a kick toward
the center, and fired a shot
to the upper right hand cor­ner
of Tuskegee's goal.
Club president Sandy Pur-don
said, "The defense
worked very well and held
Fran Chung, Tuskegee cap­tain
and outstanding player,
at bay. We worked with a four-man
defense to hold off Tus­kegee's
attack and found
that we did most of the at­tacking.
"Gabriel Villasenor took
charge of the team on the
sideline and did an outs­tanding
job observing the op­ponents
weaknesses. I hope !
that we can continue on this
note with our three remaining

Werner Beirsdorfer-Some Come Running
By RICHARD WITTISH
Werner Beirsdoerfer runs 75 miles a week.
He runs 75 miles a week because he wants to run two
miles in under nine minutes and 20 seconds.
Werner runs 75 miles a week because he wants to win
races for Alburn and because he wants to be the best
distance runner in the South.
Saturday, he came close to his first goal, winnir.,
two mile against Georgia Tech in a 9:22.2 clocking.
BEST RACE
"That's the best race I've run in a long time,'
the 5' 6", 133 pound Beirsdoerfer.
the
said
Werner, a freshman from Birmingham, has been whit­tling
away at the 9:20 time throughout the season.
In his first meet, he ran a 9:29 in Athens, Ga., to win,
and followed this up with a first against Alabama with
a 9:35.7.
Beirsdoerfer then broke the Auburn two mile record, re­cording
a 9:21 during the recent five-way meet in Cliff
Hare Stadium. But Don Hunt of Mississippi State and
Auburn's Vic Kelley finished in front of him, and Werner
had to settle for a third place finish.
LITTLE DISAPPOINTED
"I was a little disappointed about not breaking 9:20
and not winning," said Beirsdoerfer. "I wasn't even
thinking about the record."
Werner hopes to shatter the 9:20 barrier in the May
12-13 Southeastern Conference meet.
"I'll be real disappointed if I don't get a 9:12, provid­ing
I don't run the mile and I'm fresh," he said.
Coach Mel Rosen is looking for a 9:10 performance
from Beirsdoerfer.
BREAK SEC MARK
Such a time would topple the SEC meet record of
9:11.2. Winning the event is a different matter, however,
for Werner faces such stiff competition as Hunt, Kelley,
David Storey of Tennessee, and Frank Lagotic of Flo­rida.
Rosen said Beirsdoerfer can do the job.
"Werner can be one of the greatest distance runners
ever in the South because of his desire and determina­tion,"
said Rosen. "He has a lot of courage, and he has
confidence in himself."
When Beirsdoerfer competes on Saturday, he runs 75
miles during the week. If there is no meet scheduled, he
manages from 110 to 120 miles.
EARLY TO RISE
Arising at 5:15 a.m., Werner runs eight to ten miles.
In the afternoon he warms up for practice with a four
mile jaunt, performs his scheduled workout, and finishes
with another four mile run.
Beirsdoerfer runs every day.
LOT OF RUNNING
He runs in the sunshine and in the pouring rain.
He runs with teammate Glenn McWaters, and he runs
alone.
He runs on highways, city streets, dirt roads.
He runs up and down hills, through forests, over
bridges.
He runs seventy-five miles a week.
On Sundays, Werner runs a minimum of 15 miles, and it
takes him about two hours. Two hours when he could be
on a date, or lying in the sun out at Chewacla, or just
plain sleeping.
"I love to run," said Beirsdoerfer. "I like the compe­tition,
and I like the people you meet in track. I think
running builds your character and makes you a better
person."
Why does he run distance?
TOO SLOW FOR SPRINTS?
"Because I'm not fast enough to run sprints," he
joked.
Rosen is inclined to think differently.
"We knew he was a good distance runner," said Ro­sen,
"but he surprised us with his speed. That's why
we've had him running the mile."
Running the mile in three dual meets, Beirsdoerfer has
finished third each time.
A physical education major, Werner lettered in track
four times at Banks High School in Birmingham. He won
the two mile in the state meet his junior and senior years.
Beirsdoerfer received scholarship offers from all the
SEC schools, but chose Auburn because he knew many
trackmen and liked the campus.
HIGH SCHOOL START
Werner got his start in track as a freshman in high
school. Banks had a "Turkey Day Run" over the Thanks­giving
holidays, in which the winner of a mile run won a
gobbler. Werner was out for the basketball team at the
time-he later won two letters in the sport-and was re­quired
to run by his basketball coach. Beirsdoerfer ran
and finished second.
He won a chicken and became a track addict at the
same time.
Bom in Vierheim, Germany, Werner left Europe with
his family when he was six.
This summer he plans to run a minimum of 20 miles a
day and Beirsdoerfer feels that 125 miles a week is
within reach.
With three years of collegiate running ahead of him,
Werner wants to be the best two miler in the South.
But it will mean a lot of work and pain and sacrifice.
And it will mean running 75 miles a week for a long,
long time.

(How to spot and get rid of)
Fluorescent fade-out. .—
That's from being cooped up all winter
What you need for that sallow pallor
is some sunshine Vitamin D. There's a
whole lot of it available at Sunset
Beach in Acapulco.
The good books,
They have the possibility of being
good symptoms. That's if you
seek summer scholastics. Say in
Mexico City. Or Acapulco.
Pallid peepers.
There's no sparkle in those baby-blue
eyes. It's been knocked out by all those
exams. Get that vitality back. See what
good is still left in the world. Go to
Expo 67, Montreal.
Fishing Rodeo Scheduled Saturday
The Auburn Conservation
Club will sponsor a fishing
rodeo Saturday from dawn
until dark at the Club Pond
near Loachapoka. Refresh­ments
and bait will be for
sale. Boats are available.
The charge is $1 for non-mem­bers
and 50 cents for members.
Prizes will be given for the
largest bass, bream, the most
fish and smallest bream. Door
prizes will also be given.

They're letters from good buddies
away for the summer. The best
way to avoid them is not to be
there when they arrive. Be in
Puerto Rico instead.
Racquet squad.
That's the tennis team in your
neighborhood during the summer.
You'd find snorkeling or scuba diving
in the Bahamas would make playing
tennis seem like last summer's
bad sport.
College fatigues
That's the uniform you wore all semester.
Get rid of those o.d.'s (olive drabs).
Break out the white levis. And throw on
a colorful Mexican serape.
BLT Down.
That's all you've known summer
after summer. A change of palate
would do you good. In Bermuda a
few savory morsels of Hopping John
with a sauce of Paw-Paw Montespan
usually does the trick.
