* * By BRUCE GILULAND
Two blondes and two brunettes will reign as Union Calen­dar
Girls fall quarter. Selected at the Union pageant Thursday
night were blondes Freida Walls and Donna Sue Waller and bru­nette
s Judy Clark and Adrienne Wise.
A panel of judges named the four girls from ten finalists selected
Wednesday night in swimsuit com­petition.
Other finalists were

Kaylvey, Linda Ozley, Jane Robin­son
and Kay Smallwood.
Miss September is Judy Clark,
a senior in visual design from
Florala. She is a member of Alpha
Omicron Pi. Serving for the month
of October is Donna Sue Waller.
Donna, a resident of Auburn, is a
freshman in drama.
Freida Walls, from Hueytown,
will reign during November. She
is a junior in home economics and
a member of AOPi. Miss December
i s Adrienne Wise from Montgomery.
Adrienne is a senior in speech
therapy and a member of Chi
Omega.
The four girls will act as official
hostesses for the Union functions
during the autumn months. Their
pictures will appear on the calen­dar
published by the Union and in
the showcase in the Union lobby.
The co-eds were selected from
an initial field of 60 girls nomi­nated
by various organizations
and dorms on campus. The pageant,
sponsored by the Union Entertain­ment
Committee, was held in the

Juniors' Cars Barred
From Campus In Fall
New Plan Will Increase Two Zones;
Violations Scaled On Yearly Basis
By JIM UPTON
Juniors will not be allowed to drive through or park on the
main campus during school hours this fall.
According to L.E. Funchess, Director of Buildings and
Grounds, about 2,000 affected juniors will join the restricted ranks of
sophomores and commuting freshmen in an effort to decrease the park-
Possession Of Sign
Causes Fine, Action
The possession of a stolen
cemetery sign cost two students
$105 each in Auburn City Court
Monday. They also face action of
the University Disciplinary Board.
In a recent effort to recover
additional signs, police have al­ready
found road signs stolen
from across the country.
"Besides endangering the lives
of others by the absences of the
signs, the act is unbecoming to
Auburn students, said James E.
Foy, Dean of Student Affairs.
"This act seems like something a
high school prankster would do,
not a University student," he
continued.
PLAYERS' COMEDY
TICKETS AVAILABLE
By LEE SENTELL
"Come Blow Your Horn" is
drawing large crowds at the Biggin
Art Gallery as the Players' pro­duction
ends its first week. The
performance will run through
Aug. 6.
The Auburn Players' latest
three-act comedy is being shown
"in-the-round" with the audience
seated on all four sides of the per­formers.
The play features George Hames
in the lead as playboy Alan Baker.
Jay Morrow plays his younger bro­ther
Buddy, who decides to blow
his horn despite the wishes of
their parents, played by Joe
Rivera and Valerie Sjolund. Judy
Rothe and Stephanie Pitts play
two of Alan's girls who only add
to his problems.
The set, that of a playboy pad,
was designed by Patrick Mann.
Mary Pete Bakes is the stage
manager and sound technician.
Sue Schle singer is in charge of
props. The lighting technician is
Jim Formby, and publicity is being

handled by Dorset Noble.
Tickets may be reserved at the
Drama Office in the Music Annex
Building or by calling Ext. 463.
Tickets will also be available at
the door.
'66 Glom Available
At Yearbook Office
Several *65-'66 Glomeratas
are available for students who
did not receive one spring quart­er.
A number of Gloms were
saved for co-op students, said
Charles Bentley, Glom advisor.
Students who have paid acti­vities
fees for at least three
quarters starting last summer
could receive a Glom free. If
they have paid fees for two
quarters, they can purchase one
for $1.50, and if they have paid
fees for one quarter, they can
purchase one for $3. Any student
may buy a Glom for $5. The
yearbook may be picked up from
the Glom office in the Union
Building.
ingand traffic situation on campus.
Other marked changes in the
new regulations move seniors to
the 'C zone spaces, vacated by
juniors, and graduate students to
B" zone spaces. This decrease
now restricts parking on campus
to faculty, graduate students and
seniors.
To be eligible for permits,
seniors must have completed 150
hours, juniors 100 hours, and
sophomores 50 hours, said M.E.
Dawson, chief security officer.
The new plan will increase 'C
zone spaces for seniors by almost
600 and the outlying 'D' zone
spaces to 200. The new spaces
in the 'D' zone will be located
around the Duplicating Service on
Donahue Drive and around South
Women's Dormitories.
Fines for traffic and parking
violations will apply to a school
year rather than ha sed on a quarter
as in the past. "This could really
cost some people a lot of money,"
Dawson said. He was referring to
the regulation that states after the
third and subsequent violations,
the fine is $6 if paid in 72 hours
and $12 after 72 hours.
Registration of all vehicles
should be completed within the
alloted 24 hours after arrival on
campus. This will be strictly en­forced,
continued Dawson. He also
promised to increase personnel as
much as possible during this
period to alleviate the waits in
line to obtain permits.
As more students are enrolled
each year, more cars will have to
be eliminated on the main campus
and eventually some faculty cars.
"The increase of upperclassmen
from junior colleges complicates
the problem, states Dawson.

I don't usually pass that way, but last Tuesday I had
to walk by War Eagle's cage, near the Duplicating Office.
Since I had seen War Eagle hundreds of times in the past,
I didn't even glance at the bird. Then suddenly, as if by ,
magic, I heard a voice coming from the interior of the cage:
"Pssst! Hey, boy." I -stopped and peered into the cage.
"Yeah, you," the voice continued. "Come here. Ain't you
Richard McLean?"
"Er-that"s right," I replied, as nonchalantly as I
could. "Aren't you War Eagle?"
"Don't be funny, son," the bird replied. "Step closer.
It gets so lonesome in here. I figured I had to talk to some­body,
even if it was only a human. I'm bored to death! Other
birds get keen stuff like bells and rattles and swings, but
all they give me is this crummy tire with a perch stuck in
it."
I agreed that could get pretty dull. "You ain't kidding,"
he declared. "And talk about hot-it got so hot out here the
other day my feathers started to curl."
"Why don't you get under your shed?" I asked.
"Are you kidding?" he replied. "That shed is hardly
proper quarters for a bird of my caliber. They probably built
it with an. anti-poverty loan. Besides, at least I can catch
a stray breeze."
"Don't the other birds keep you company?"
"Oh, yeah, but what I really need is a mate. I haven't
had a date in so long, I've forgotten what a female eagle
looks like. I was pinned to a real cute number at the zoo
before they brought me here."
"Well, why don't you just escape?" I asked.
"Escape? Me? Don't be silly," he said. "I wouldn't
, leave for the world. Auburn's just the greatest! I really
have a blast at the football games listening to the humans
yell my name. I just wish they'd take that chain off my foot.
I swear, my right foot is two inches longer than the other
from getting yanked by that cotton-pickin' chain."
"Say," I said, "maybe it would help if I did a story
about you in the Plainsman. Maybe then the readers could
understand your problem a little better. How about it?"
"Gee," he said, "that would be great! You know, you
ain't bad, for a human."
"Thanks," I replied. "You're not bad for an eagle,
either."

Mew Power System
Cable To Reduce
Lighting Problems
By SARAH SPANN
The cemented pits placed at
seemingly unstrategic points on
campus are part of the build­ings
and grounds department's
project of putting the campus
electrical system on under­ground
cable. This construction
will, among other things, re­duce
the lighting problem.
These cables are connected at
the central control panel monitor—
the computer which unites the
campus electrical systems. With
the aid of the monitor, mechanical
problems in connected buildings
can be detected before the build­ings
occupants are aware of them.
Most buildings oh campus are al­ready
connected to this. Others,
such as the South Women's Dorms,
will be connected by fall.
In addition to the cable project,
the department has had several
maintenance headaches this sum­mer.
These include the air condi­tioning
systems and research
equipment.
The electrical, problems have
increased greatly in the past few
years because of the quantity
increase. Air conditioning accounts
for electrical costs being more
than three times what they were
ten years ago.

Chewacla Is Ideal Way To Beat Summer Heat
CHEWACLA PARK - RETREAT FOR SPLASHERS AND SUNNERS
One of the hottest summers
since Sherman's march to the
sea is causing Auburn people
to march-or drive, as the case
may be-to the lakes and re­creational
areas for a puddle
to splash in or a spot of shade to
sit under. The nearest of these
retreats is located south on High­way
29 and has become a popular
piece of real estate in recent
weeks.
Chewacla (an Indian word mean­ing,
"Look, Ma, no pollution!")
State Park offers a variety of ways
to beat the heat. AH the piranhas
and barracudas have been removed
to make its 26-acre lake available
for swimming. Lifeguards are more
or less on duty at no additional
charge.
Non-swimmers may rent a boat
for the paltry sum of only a dollar
a day during the week, or 50 cents
an hour on weekends. An additional
charge of 50 cents is made for
fishing in the well-stocked waters.
However, fishermen are requested
to return all 12-pound bluegills
and bream so they may grow up.
The 800-acre densely wooded
park also offers other opportunities
for recreational activities. Fur-
Physic Studies To Get
Boost From NASA Grant
Grants totaling some $70,000
for two separate studies in the,
physics department have been
awarded by the National Aero­nautics
and Space Administration
in Washington, D.C.
More than two-thirds of the
money is for the study of conduc­tion
in thin films of dielectric
materials, according to Dr. Paul
Budenstein, project leader.
Previous studies which were
supported at Auburn by NASA at
Marshall space Flight Center
centered on thin layers of silicon
monoxide. The new grant will
enable researchers to progress to
a study of crystalline materials,
Budenstein pointed out.
The second grant is for basic
studies in the area of electrical
conductivity. Project leader is
Dr. A.T. Fromhold Jr.
Both grants are administered
through the Auburn Research
Foundation.
nished cabins are available for
family groups only by the night
or week.
Earlier this year, season passes
were offered to students and fa­culty
for $2 per quarter. This,
friends, would amount to only two
cents per visit if the cards were
used every day, and park manager
James G. Murphy has indicated
that over 500 passes have been
issued so far this quarter.
Incidentally, the park officials
aren't impressed with those
"Golden Passports" issued by
the Federal Conservation Depart­ment.
After all, Chewacla is a
State park. The passports can only
be used to enter -federally owned
parks. Season tickets may be pur­chased
with ID cards at the gate.
Chewacla is open daily from 9 a.m.1
till sunset.
Karate CM Organizing
The organizational meeting of
the Auburn Karate Club will be
tomorrow at 7 p.m. in Mag Dorms
basement. Lessons will be given;
no experience is necessary. Inter­ested
students should call Harry
Winning, Ext. 237.
By the way, Sherman wasn't
marching to Savannah, Ga. He
was marching to the beach at
Panama City.
Auburn Recipient
Of Education Funds
Auburn has recently received a
grant for $65,454 from the U.S.
Office of Education for the pur­pose
of conducting an institute
for the training of remedial reading
teachers.
The institute will train teams
of four teachers per team from
each participating county or city
school system. Forty teachers will
complete training this week and
and additional 40 teachers will
arrive on campus to begin the five
and one-half weeks training course
next week.

The Auburn Plainsman is the student newspaper of Auburn Uni­versity.
The paper is written and edited by responsible students.
Editorial opinions are those of the editors and columnists. They are
not necessarily the opinions of the administration, Board of Trustees,
or student body of Auburn University. Offices located in Langdon
Hall. Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Auburn,
Alabama. Subscription rates by mail, are $1 for three months and- S3
for a full year. Circulation 6,000 weekly. Address all material to

In Defense Of Taste
Judging from the barrage of complaints about the
entertainment at last week's Calendar Girl Pageant, the
dirty, suggestive humor must have been the worst in
Auburn's recent history.
One student said he was "ashamed that the parents
of so many freshmen received such a rude introduction
to the Plains." The "wit" even turned the stomachs of
a few old die-hards who usually shudder at nothing.
It is apparent, from other complaints which have
entered the office, that the student voice in selecting
Union entertainment has been meager. While this mistake
cannot be blamed entirely on this, it points out that an
array of opinions from those who pay is valuable.
The mistake has been made and must be forgotten.
It should not be made again.
The Wages Of Sn
Those who escape the dullness of summer by steal­ing
signs have been made embarrassingly aware that the
wages of sign stealing and bank robbing are parallel.
When such immaturity is encountered what can you
say except somewhere somebody never grew up, and now
the price they have to pay will convert the "harmless"
fun of sign-stealing into the crime it is.
We're in no position to judge. But experience, for
some, is still the best teacher-it gives the test first
and the lesson later.
Why Johnny Can't Drive
Tne cars, buses, motorcycles and bicycles that
swarm like mechanical army ants over the campus on
the hour will be lessened next year and, perhaps, in a
few years only buses and an occasional faculty car will
mar the teeming pedestrians who struggle from class to
class. - ,
w Auburn, •some say, was built for a mule -wagon; we
concur. But the newer campus areas must not suffer from
poor planning. Auburn is gifted with enough engineering
minds that the campus traffic plan could be mapped with
an eye toward the developments of the new campus, if
the boom times, more money, more students, and more
buildings don't blind the administration to that particular
Johnny whose calloused feet and colorful vocabulary
should have no counterparts in Auburn's expanding land
area. , ,.-.,,.,.,.,.

In Coming Four Years,
Wallace Power To Grow
By Jerry Brawn
The Alabama Republican Convention,
'which opens this weekend, promises to in­troduce
its questionable voice into a contest for governor which
history will remember as a mongrelized symbol of the last Old
George Wallace will of
necessity, be the man who
will guide the state, and per­haps
the South, to the plateau
of political compromise it
must necessarily reach. The
first steps of the compromise,
marked by a strong federal
government, have already
caused much of the hotheaded
Wallace, who was "outseg-ged"
once by John Patter­son,
to take on the suave
undertones of an accomplished
politician.
South-New South clash.
There will be Jim Martin.
We will remember him as a
man who could have been.
Maybe Senator, if he had play­ed
his cards right. The man
who could have turned the
governor's race into a side­show
and made the GOP
more popular than the right
side of President John­son's
face. But it won't be.
Unless he can manage to pro­vide
political cement for the
far-removed blocs which con­glomerate
state politics, Mar­tin
will be washed back into
oblivion until the times create
a new South niche for his
valuable brand of conser­vatism.
But waiting in the wings
is Mrs. Lurleen Wallace whose
masterful husband has shown
that the art of the Old South­ern
politician is not dead.
Shana Alexander has said
that a balloon around Gover­nor
Wallace's speeches would
make him sound like Al Capp's
Jubilation T. Cornpone. We
can't agree. Call him the
names which he has created
knowingly and whisper in se­lect
circles that "bedfellows
make strange politics." All
this Wallace is aware of. But
he has skillfully naneiivered
himself into the best possible,
position in the state. A "con­servative
liberal," his help
far' the aged, his textbook
program, aad his adamant
stand on the not-yet-dead
idea of states rights have
built George Wallace into a
dynamo. His progressive
ideas are not as unreal as
the pooh-poohs of Northern
critics who have an obvious
axe to grind Would say.
Wallace will most likely win
this fall, and by the time he
has left office, should nothing
happen, he will-have changed
almost completely to fit the
new politics. No doubt the
change will be subtle and
hard to pinpoint, but it will
come. Shrewd politicians are
committed to the adultery of
change. Wallace is one of
the same, but the good which
he can do for the state by
changing could mean the
difference between a valuable
liason with the rest of the
country or a serious breach
in which the "Dogpatch"
ideal materializes.
- In short, Wallace has the
i future of the -state in bis own
hands and. what he chooses
ad do with i r war '.0Mls?'*££t
whether history remembers
him as an egotistical buffoon
or a dedicated man who stood
up for his rights until com­promise
was necessary and
then acquiesced with honor.
We may be wrong, but we have
a faith in Wallace which de­fies
the tags which blinds
one to, the potent force that
is Wallace.

Auburn Squirming
To Fit Garments
ByLeeSentell
Well, we're just one step
away now. This week, the
Powers That Be have an­nounced
that only seniors
will be allowed to drive cars
on campus during class hours
effective fall quarter.
The last bridge is being
approached. Soon the well-worn
phrase "due to increased
enrollmen t"
will be
\ pulled front
its tempo-ary
resting
place; glue
will be
smeared a-cross
its
back, and it
will be
slapped a-cross
the
story which reads: "The main
campus has been closed to all
undergraduate cars during the
class hours, effective..."
The stretching, expanding,
tacking on of parking spaces
seems much like the lady who
thinks her blue party dress to
be fashionable so long as it
fits, so she annually takes up
the hem line and lets out the
waistline ever so carefully.
Auburn is straining at the
seams. Maybe since it is
"feeling" like a university,
perhaps it had better start
acting like one.
Last week the local postal
service announced that (here
comes that phrase again) due
to increased enrollment it will
be unable to handle the ex­pected
volume of mail this
fall and suggests that the
possibility of a university
post office be. studied. It's
high time that we got one!
We're the largest university
in the state and yet our post
is handled by a city system
which serves perhaps one-third
non-university residents.
In the area of class size,
we find an outstanding example
of how Auburn University,
like Topsy, just grows and
keeps on growing. We have
had to resort to television
teachers and conduct English,
math, and chemistry in audi­toriums
with classes of mam­moth
proportions.
Whenever a rainy day grad­uation
is held, our parents
must huddle inside a muggy
cardboard building while
Granny and Auntie sit out in
the car. It must be explained
that "due to increased en­rollment..."
With a progressive new ad­ministration
at the reins,' we
can anticipate that the right-
Wees ^of Auburn's garments
are but growing pains leading
final step in -ear be-a
-teuly great univer­sity.
Otherwise the pregnancy
of that dream can be miscarried
and in the impending night­mare
we might as well prepare
for the tumbleweed on South
College Street to come rolling
up to the abandoned and cob-webbed
Samford Hall. A large
sign nailed on the barred en-tranceway
will read: "Due to
increased enrollment....." -•ws*

Citizen Suggest Teens
Made More Responsible
Editor, The Plainsman:
On the night of July the fourth,
immediately following the annual
fireworks display, several of us
happened to witness an accident
which in actual damage to those
involved proved to be of small
consequence. However, the
principle involved was of much
greater importance.
The facts are: three teenage
boys in a station wagon came
down the one way street running
alongside the Community Center.
Allowed to cross Drake by the
driver of a Falcon, they turned
around recklessly in a driveway
When reaching Drake once more,
they proceeded to try to forcibly
maneuver themselves back into
the packed traffic where they hit
the Falcon.
Thinking the man might need
witnesses, we stayed to find
the boy had not only hit another
car, endangered the lives of nume­rous
children, but didn't own a
driver's license. When the police­man
arrived, it was at once appa­rent
that the boys were given
more than a small amount of
favoritism from said policeman.
Admitting that he knew the
boy's father well, the policeman
pointed out ( among other things)
how pressing charges would

raise insurance for the boy's
father and since the damage was
so slight, couldn't they work it
out between themselves?
Having gotten the boy "off the
hook," he then allowed the boy to
drive home (or wherever...) even
though he had no license.
Now we ask would he have done
had the man in the Falcon caused
the accident or one of us?
Certainly the police force is
welcomed by each of us, but we
ask how can this generation be
expected to fulfill their rightful
place in society if politics allow
some to escape their punishment
and others, perhaps, to take more
than their share?

recent pageant looked like some­thing
from an elementary school
school PTA skit night.
I really don't believe high
expense is a valid excuse for not
having qualified judges and decent
entertainment. I feel the problem
lies in the inablility of our Union
leaders to learn from their mis­takes.

Union Pageant Judges
And Program Critized
Editor, The Plainsman:
Sometimes I wonder why the
personnel of our Auburn Union
cannot leam from their mistakes.
This is especially true in regard
to the recent Calendar Girl Pa­geant.
This pageant, and the ones
prior to it, were plagued by ex-tremly
poor judging. I am not trying
to degrade the judges themselves,
as I am sure they did the best they
could. Nor am I degrading the
beauties who were selected. I

Said Insult To Students
Editor, The Plainsman:
Most of us who attended last
week's Calendar Girl Pageant were
embarrassed and disappointed by
the complete lack of taste shown
by the "entertainers" and whoever
contracted them. It is not that the
audience was "grossed out" by
the endless stream of cheap,
suggestive jokes; we were insulted
by the quality of the program
which was appropriate for a hill­billy
nightclub. Let us hope that
in the future responsible students
will select entertainment that will
do justice to an occasion such as
the Calendar Girl Pageant.

The physics professor stated that
the Governor, Superintendent Mea­dows,
and a third member of the
Board constitute a committee of
the Board that reviews the appoint­ment

Meadows Claims Omission
In 'Criticism' Editorial
July 19, 1966
Editor, The Plainsman:
Your editorial under the title
"THE VALUE OF CRITICISM"]
omits the reason for my criticism |
Paper Trying Silence
Of Education Head?
July 22, 1966
Editor, The Plainsman:
Under your editorial, "The
VALUE OF CRITICISM," you
state that "But the equally harsh
attack by State Superintendent of
Education Austin Meadows invades
the university's sacred realm of
of free comment." You convict
yourself in that statement by in­vading
the sacred realm of free
comment by the State Superinten­dent
of Education on an educa­tional
matter. To use your own
words against yourself, do you not
"reek of an unhealthy closed-mind-edness"
in objecting to my letter
of notice to the President of Au­burn
University of the untrue
statements made about the junior
colleges by an Auburn professor?
Your last sentence in your edi­torial,
namely, "History has pro­ven
that men like Budenstein are
far more important to education
than those who float on political
currents," is highly questionable
from many viewpoints. If you in­tended
it as a slap at me, then it
is even more highly questionable
because I have certainly never
floated on political currents. It is
my considered judgment that you
have convicted yourself in the
charges with which you tried to
convict me before your reading
public.
Are you trying to silence the
State Superintendent of Education
by your editorial to people who
will help elect a State Superinten­dent
of Education in the future?
Please understand, that I am
accepting your editorial headed
"THE VALUE OF CRITICISM."
I insist that criticism be based on
facts and not opinions, unless
opinions are backed up by facts.
All my life, I have heard the state­ment
"I have a right to my opi­nion,"
But no one has a right to an
opinion unless the opinion is
based on facts, in my opinion.
The first thing that Henry Van
Dyke said that a man must do to
make his record true is to "Think
without confusion clearly" and
then he went on to say: "Love
thy fellow man sincerely; Act
with honest motives purely; Trust
in God and Heaven securely."
I highly appreciate the copy of
the current Plainsman I received
this morning and for it, I thank you.
Respectfully submitted,

JIM FORMBY
The world was shocked Sunday night and Monday morning
when they learned of the tragic flaming death of "Cham­pagne"
Tony Lema and his wife, Betty.
Lema was en route to Joliet, III. from Akron, Ohio where
he had just finished play in the PGA tourney when the motor
of his plane died causing it to fall to earth and burst into
flames.
Lema, 32, had not played well in the tournament. He
finished in 35th place and had only earned $775 for the
three-day meet.
When Jack Nicklaus learned of the death, he said, "Tony
was one of the greats on the (PGA) tour." Ken Venturi,
who had grown up with Lema, said, "We were like brothers.
I have known Tony for 20 years. My mother gave him his
first pair of golf shoes. I just can't believe it."
A sports correspondent for the American Broadcasting
Company, Tom Harmon, spoke to Lema at the scoring tent
after the tournament and said on his Monday afternoon show
that Lema had said, "It's great to be alive."
Ironically the twin-engine private plane in which Lema
was traveling crashed on the seventh green of the Lansing
Sportsman's Club golf course, in .Lansing, 111., where he
was to have played in the $12,000 Lincolnshire tournament
on Monday. The tournament was canceled when the officials
learned of his death.
Witnesses called the pilot, Doris Mullen, a hero. They
said that he swerved while only a few feet in the air to
avoid hitting a group of people who were standing near the
clubhouse. The left wing then dug into the ground near the
seventh green and skidded into a lagoon where it burst into
flames. One witness said that the plane seemed to be trying
to reach the lagoon before it swerved and hit the ground..
There were no survivors.
Lema was a native of Oakland, Calif, and was ranked as
one of the world's top golfers. He had come up the ranks
the hard way, starting as a caddie. He turned pro in 1955
after he had been in the Marine Corps. His first year on the
PGA tour was 1957.
Lema's biggest year as a professional was in 1964. That
year he won the much coveted British Open, and four other
events, including the World Series of Golf. He continued
his winnings into 1965, taking the Car ling World Open and
his second consecutive Flint Open in Michigan. In 1965, he
played in 25 tournaments'and finished out of the money
only three times.
Before the 1965 golf season, Lema had taken 12 PGA tour
titles and eight official events. His total earnings of $303,
873 had placed him in tenth place among the golfers of
this era.
Lema had obtained the title "Champagne Tony" because
of his habit of buying champagne after winning a tournament.
It will be many years before the name of "Champagne
Tony" Lema will be gorgotten by the fans of golf the world
over.
Whenever a great athlete suffers a tragic death, no matter
what his sport, we find ourselves wondering why it had to
happen. Tom Harmon, on his Monday ABC sports show
summed it up a lot better than I could when he said, "I
guess that some of the good guys have to go to balance up
for the bad euvs who are still here."
The death of Tony Lema was a biV loss to the world of
sports. What would he have become if he had lived? We can
only guess. But it is my belief that he would have reached
much greater success in the world of golf than he already
had, and in time would have been ranked among the all-time
greats as Ben Hogan is today,

Deciding Games
Coining Up As
Season Closes
By FLETCHER COMER
Intramural action is becoming
more important as the season be­gins
to close. The top two teams
in league bowling will be decided
this week leading them into their
playoff. With previously undefeated
Old Men and Funderburk losing
last week, all Softball leagues
are close. Volleyball is entering
its last two weeks with APO and
Forest Hills still leading.
There is a three-way tie in the
bowling league between three un­defeated
teams: BTP, AVMA and
DU. The important matches this
week will be AVMA against BTP
and DU fighting PKT. From these
matches the top two teams will
have a playoff Aug. 1.
Mis Fits at 6-0, the only unde­feated
team left in Softball action,
is followed closely in League 2
by Forest Hills with a 5-1 record.
These teams play for the lead
this week.
Old Men lost last week 7-6 to
Hot Airs which threw them into a
tie with Genelda Hall in League 2,
both with 6-1 records. Hot Airs
follow at 4-2. Early Birds in
League 3 handed Funderburk their
first loss by defeating them 8-5.
Funderburk now stands at 6-1 with
Randy's Rack's and Early Birds
at 4-2.

PROJECTION '66
Sophomores Claim
Offensive Backfield
By GEORGE HAMES
An all-America candidate augmented by three sophomores may
well be the frame work of Auburn's offensive backfield this fall.
A spring filled with position changes, injuries, and surprises
climaxed with senior Tom Bryan being the only member of a sophomore
studded backfield assured of a starting position this fall.
Sophomore quarterback Larry
Blakeney finished the spring as
the front runner in the highly com­petitive
signal calling battle.
Blakeney, a 190-pounder from
Gordo, exhibited the poise and
talent necessary in leading an
effective offensive attack.
Loran Carter,
a 190-pounder
j from Dalton, Ga.,
I finished close be-
! hind Blakeney
I and emerged as a
: potential passing
threat.
Dwight Bre-sendine
and Tim
Christian were
HAMES sophomores who
from time to time added brightness
. to the quarterback battle.
Senior Joe Campbell adds ex­perience
to the generally inex­perienced
quarterback corps. A
sometime tailback last fall, Camp­bell
is a steady and reliable
signal caller.
Not to be counted out of the
competition is Junior Sam Nader,
from Shreaveport, La., is a steady,
consistent type of signal caller.
At the close of spring practice
sophomore Dwight Hurston had
staked claims on the tailback
slot. Endowed with tremendous
quickness and a desire to play,
the Bremen, Ga. native this spring
exhibited the potential that goes
with greatness.
Junior letterman Richard Plagge,
an excellent blocker and power
runner, is slated to see action at
the tailback position along with
Hurston. The 210-pounder from
Columbus, Ga. is perhaps best
remembered for his explosive third
quarter TD in last season's
Georgia contest.
Not participating in spring
practice due to injuries were
sophomores Bobby Hess, Larry
Ellis, and Bobby Wilson. These
lads were the nucleus of last sea­son's
freshman squad, and if re­covered
from injuries, will add
depth and talent to all the back-field
positions.
Auburn's top entry in this fall's
all star competition is senior
Bryan. The quarterback turned full­back
was Auburn's leading rusher
last fall. The 200 pound Hartford
native combines quickness and
power with excellent balance to
make him a deadly ball carrier in
almost any field situation.
Behind Bryan is Lee Kidd, a
non letterman junior from Atlanta.
Coach Bobby Freeman considers
Kidd to be one of the more pleasant
surprises of the spring. For all his
200 pounds Kidd developed the
quickness that brings a gleam of
satisfaction to a coach's eye and
i s expected to see a lot of action
this fall.
At wingback two men are com­peting
for starting honors and at
the close of spring the stater was
still a toss-up between junior
Mike Perrilard and sophomore
George Davison.
Perrilard, a 200 pound letterman
from Hollywood, Fla., was a full­back
with the '65 team. Following
his move to wingback this spring,
he made considerable progress at
his new position. Endowed w i tn
good speed and excellent hands,
Perrilard is a fine receiver as well
as a runner.
George Davison, a sophomore,
is competing for the post with
Perrilard. A 180 pounder from
Marietta, Ga., Davison excells as
a receiver.
Perhaps one of the most valuable
members of the backfield stable of
Coach Saia and Coach Freeman is
Carl Hardy. Hardy, a 190-pound
senior from Myrtle Beach, S.C.,
can play any backfield position
except quarterback. A fine runner
as well as a gifted receiver, Hardy
Bryan...Old Hurston...New
P Hester's

745-6968 Opelika
can be seen at any of the back-field
positions. Hardy, who played
his prep ball in Japan, keeps cons­tant
pressure on starting hopefuls
at all the backfield positions.
A welcome addition to the Au­burn
scoring machine this fall will
be Jimmy Jones. Jones, a field
goal and extra point specialist
from Opp, Ala., has a super
accurate toe and any time the
Tigers are within 40 yards of the
enemy goal, Jones' toe makes
them a scoring threat.
The close of the spring saw the
Tigers facing the '66 season • ith
a mixture of the new and old in
their backfield. With the weight of
quarterback most likely falling on
the shoulders of a sophomore, an
objective analysis is difficult.
The quickness of Hurston and the
many talents of all-star candidate
Bryan will be useful in keeping
enemy defenders "honest" and
allow the Tiger passing attack
more freedom.
Coach's Saia and Freeman are
faced with the task of molding
these young men into an efficient
•unit. If the quarterback develops,
then the Auburn defense will be as
deadly as any. The task is in good
hands and barring the unforeseen
this fall, it will be business as
usual. For those who are unin­formed,
business hasn't been bad
for the last 15 years or so.

A subject of heated contro­versy
last summer, Jack's Ham­burgers
today quietly goes
about its business of doling
out hamburgers and French fries
and sweeping up their trash on
South College Street.
Last June, workmen began dis­mantling
the old green house
which had stood on that corner
for 88 years to make way for the
erection of a metal and glass ham­burger
establishment.
Students complained of the litter
prospects, nearness to a fraternity
house and the red and white de­coration
which just happened to
- correspond to the colors of a rival
institution.
Drama department officials
vigorously opposed the enterprise.
They contended the increased
traffic would add to the difficutly
of hearing Players' productions in
the theater across the street.
The traffic hazard at the narrow
intersection was also cited.
As tempers raged, a movement
was begun hoping to stop the con­struction.
Vandals caused over
$1,000 damage, to the incomplete
plumbing system and a "Jack's"
Hamburgers Coming Soon" sign
on the property was burned. Final­ly
a conference of Jack's officials
and student leaders ended the pro-te
sting and petition signing.
The green house was a major
landmark to students and towns­people
because of its age and
prominent location. John Hodges
Drake, the first campus physician,
built the old frame structure in the
1880's as his residence. Following
widow Drake's death in 1945, the
building was transformed into a
boarding house.

After Cadell obtained a 20-year

list of grievances was presented
to him by a group of students.

opposed his building on that loca­tion.
Cadell compromised with the
student group by adopting a policy
pledging to hire a fall-time cleanup
man to curtain any mounting litter
problem, erect a fence to keep
car lights from shining in the Phi
Delts' faces, and "alter" the
