'Contingency fund: Where is it?'-Bentley
By JIMMY REEDER
Admini str at ion officials
ive refused to reveal how
uch money from student
tivity fees has been ac-lmulated
in a special fund
pay for any student damage
University property, 1967-68
udent Body President
harles Bentley charged
lursday.
Bentley further stated that
University authorities would
not tell the Student Senate
how any money exceeding
the 830,000 that the Board of
Trustees requires be main­tained
in this fund is being
used.
Even though students have
been paying into the fund
since the late 1940's when
a wild panty raid resulted in
$38,000 damage to four wo-i
men's dormitories, only $150
has been spent on repairing
damage caused by students,
in the last 18 years according
to one University source.
Bentley was particularly
concerned as to what has
happened to any excess ac­cumulating
in the fund since
the practice of redistributing
any funds exceeding the re­quired
$30,000 was changed
by the Board of Student Al­locations
some two years ago.
Approximately $12,000 per
year should have accumulated
in the fund over the last se­veral
years, assuming an
average enrollment of 12,000
per quarter. The actual enroll­ment
is higher than this,
around 13,000 students.
"Apparently the students'
money is being used for
clandestine purposes," Bent­ley
said. "For two years
we've attempted using proper
channels to let the students
know where this money is
used. It appears we'll have
to exert pressure now."
One official wno has re­fused
to answer the questions
of student representatives
about the contingency fund.
University Business Manager
W. T. Ingram was out of town
and unavailable for comment.
Thursday afternoon. However,
Dr. Floyd Vallery, assistant
to Pres. Harry M. Philpott
and chairman of the Board of
Student Allocations, has
granted an interview with The
Plainsman for 11 a.m. today.
Until two years ago, any
surplus in the fund was dis­tributed
at the end of each
fiscal year among special
student projects such as
purchase of band uniforms and
furniture for Student Govern­ment
offices. At the time the
amount each student paid
into the contingency fund was
reduced from 50 to 25 cents
per quarter.
No provision was made for
re-distribution of any surplus

No change expected
for dry rush rules
By ROY RILEY
Assistant Managing Editor
No changes are forthcom­ing
in the present rules
concerning dry rush.
Pres. Harry M. Philpott,
in a meeting with the IFC
Dry Rush Committee this
week, said the present rules
are satisfactory, but he in­structed
the committee to meet
with the Committee on Frater­nities
to clarify what consti­tutes
a violation.
Present rules, listed in the
Tiger Cub student handbook,
forbid fraternities and other
organizations chartered by the
Board of Student Organiza­tions,
from budgeting, pur­chasing
or providing alcohol­ic
beverages "under any con­ditions."
This rule applies to
all social functions.
"IN THE PAST, SOME
fraternities have been placed
on social probation because
they violated a rule, but in
each case it was because
there was a misinterpretation
of these rules."
Busta plans to meet with
the committee next week.
"Until we hold our meeting
and clarify what constitutes
a violation, there is not much
I can say right now," Busta
continued. "Of course we do
not think that these rules will
stop fraternity men and rush-

Big Mama makes refunds,
but police have warrant
By ROY RILEY
Auburn students who
bought meal tickets from
the now defunct Big Mama's
restaurant will not lose
their money, according to
the restaurant's ex-manager,
Harry Jehle.
But Auburn Police Chief
Fred Hammock wants to talk
with Jehle about the tickets,
Jehle's alleged failure to pay
city and state taxes and his
delinquent city business
license.
Jehle closed the establish­ment
at the end of winter quar­ter.
He sold about 26 spring
quarter meal tickets according
to Charles Bentley, assistant f wish you'd write a story about
dean of student affairs.
Jehle would not say how
much the meal tickets cost,
but his advertising showed
they cost up to $150 per quar­ter.
John Lee, an Auburn stu­dent
who bought one of the
tickets, swore out a warrant
for Jehle's arrest, but with­drew
the warrant when Jehle
threatened Lee with a law
suit for false arrest. Lee
bought a spring quarter seven
day-two meal ticket for
8142.80.
"I have not cashed any of

More changes proposed to A WS
Associated Women Students' Spring
Rules Workshop will continue revision of
women's rules Monday night, according to
Nancy Tilden, AWS president.
Rules' changes are subject to final de­cision
from Katharine Cater, dean of wo-nen,
and President Philpott. AWS consti-
;utional changes are voted on by the dormi-
;ories.
One tenative change passed at the work­shop
Wednesday night allows first quarter
"omen 10 p.m. permission Monday through
Thursday. Permission for freshmen women
will remain at a current 12 midnight for
Friday and Saturday and 11 p.m. Sunday.
Permission for all other coeds except
those on deferred privileges was set at
11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday at the
workshop last week. Deferred permission
is given to coeds failing to make a 1.0
the previous quarter.
The new rule for upperclass women will
only affect sophomores by extending their
permission one half hour on Monday through
Thursday nights. Juniors and seniors al­ready
have the 11 p.m. weeknight permis­sion.
The rules workshop also voted to abo­lish
weeknight restrictions for tardiness.
The change will entail a Friday night re­striction
for each 15 minutes of cumulative
tardiness during the quarter, or! if a coed
is more than 15 minutes tardy in one-night,
she will receive an additional Friday
night restriction for the next ten minutes
of lateness that night. Final additions to
this rule change have not yet been decid­ed
upon.
Another tenative rule's change would
allow coeds to make long-distance calls
until 11:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
Previously they were allowed to receive
long-distance calls until 11:30 p.m. On
weekends calls may be made or received
until dorm closing time.
Private dorms such as Wittel or Corckett
may make their own rules concerning the
use of telephones.
"Previously, rules' changes made at the
spring workshop go into effect the follow­ing
fall quarter," Miss Tilden said.

Selden runs strong race
against five candidates
Ed. note: This is the third
of four articles on the major
candidates for the Demo­cratic
nomination for the
U.S. Senate from Alabama.
By JIMMY REEDER
"Whether or not my op­ponents
in this race like
my record, the people ob­viously
do," s a i d Rep.
Armistead Selden, candidate
for the Democratic nomin­ation
to the U.S. Senate.
"My record was examined
by the people of my district
each of the eight times they
sent me back to Washington
to represent them.
"The main issue of this
race is which of the six candi­dates
is best qualified to
serve the people in this
critical period of our nation's
history," he said. "My ex­perience
in the state legis­lature
and my 16 years in
Congress give me the back­ground
and experience to
wisely face the issues.Iam
the only candidate with ex­perience
in both state and
federal government/'
SELDEN IS A MEMBER OF
the House Foreign Affairs
Committee and chairman of
the House Inter-American
Affairs Subcommittee which
deals with Latin America. He
addressed the Auburn Con­ference
on International Affairs
in 1964 and again in 1967 on
topics dealing with Latin
America.
Selden has received the
endorsement of retiring senator
REP. ARMISTEAD SELDEN
Lister Hill and observers
b e l i e v e he is the top con­tender
for the Democratic
nomination. A recent public
opinion poll gives him 30 per
cent of the vote, running be­hind
Jim Allen.
Selden was first elected to
the U.S. House of Representa­tives
in 1952, after serving
two years in the Alabama
state legislature.
Other candidates seeking
the office are former Lt. Gov.
James B. Allen, former Gov.
James Folsora, Hunts ville
attorney Bob Smith, retired
admiral John G. Crommelin,
and Mrs. Frank Stewart.
IF NO CANDIDATE RE-ceives
a majority of the vote,
the two top vote-getters will
meet in a run-off election
June 4. The winner faces a
Republican opponent in next
November's election.
"The riot commission
blamed the violence on every­body
except the rioters,"
Selden commented on recent
racial disturbances. "There
should have been more empha­sis
on encouraging every
citizen to obey local, state
and federal law."
"Certainly I am aware that
there may be conditions in the
oities conducive to peaceful
protest, but these conditions
do not give anyone license to
riot, loot, and burn," he said.
"We must have law and order
in this country or face anar­chy."
"WE MUST PUT AN END
to judicial pampering of cri­minals,
rioters and lawless
elements of society," he con­tinued,
"I have introduced
and supported legislation to
accomplish these aims."
Selden talked with The
Plainsman last week while in
Auburn to meet with supporters
and map campaign plans. In
an earlier interview Selden
said he felt the cause of the
rioting is disrespect for law
and order. He suggested job
training and education to help
solve the problems of the
ghetto dweller.
Selden's wife, like opponent
Jim Allen's wife, is running
on the electoral slate of pre­sidential
candidate George
Wallace. Selden is confident
his wife will be elected, but
makes no firm prediction about
how Wallace will come out
nationwide.
"I feel certain the Wallace
electors will be nominated
and elected in Alabama. I
also believe if the rioting

George Wallace has taken on

"While I'm not familiar with
the attitudes of voters in other
areas of the country, I feel

Selden is "cautiously
optimistic" about current

One hundred twenty-eight
man-hours on the city's
Saturday clean-up detail
were recently assigned to
Phi Kappa Tau fraternity
in city court after the fra­ternity
was found guilty of
improper dumping of trash
here. Pi Kappa Alpha was
found innocent of similar
charges.
According to a city employ­ee,
seven members of Phi-
Kappa Tau dumped leaves
debris into a ditch approxi­mately
150 yards from the
locked gate of the City Dump.
The employee's testimony
indicated that while approach­ing
the gate to unlock it, he
saw a car pulling a trailer-load
of leaves and other debris
turn from the gate and dump
the trash into a ditch on pri­vate
property.
The tag number of the car
revealed the owner to be a
Phi Kappa Tau pledge, who
along with six others, admitted
to the dumping.
The group was found guilty
of violating a city ordinance
recently passed to prohibit
improper disposal of refuse.
FOUR PLEDGES WORKING
for four Saturdays or the time
equivalent was assigned to
the group by Judge Andrew J.
Gentry, Jr.
Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity
was also charged for violation
of City Ordinance 344, Sec­tion
Eight, which provides
for up to $100 fine for impro­per
trash disposal, but was
found innocent on lack of
evidence.
A Pi Kappa Alpha pledge
notebook found by local po­lice
in a pile of debris dumped
off a dirt road near Highway
14 proved insufficient evi­dence
in the case.
The two cases were a re­sult
of i n c r e a s e d police
efforts to enforce the new re­fuse
ordinance, said Chief
of Police Fred Hammock.
THE SATURDAY WORK
detail is part of a program de­signed
to aid in keeping Au­burn's
streets clean.
"We are certainly not op­posed
to the ordinance or the
clean-up detail, but we thought
that the work load was a little
too stiff. It was a misunder­standing
on our part," said
Bill Floyd, Phi Kappa Tau
president.
"The city was so con­scientious
about our case and
the other that it seemed like
we were being made an exam
pie. Our cases were just not
very big, and the city knew
that a notebook was insuf­ficient
evidence," said Mike
House, Pi Kappa Alpha pre­sident.
"WE ARE JH FULL COOP-eration
with the police to stop
trash dumpings, and it seemed
unnecessary to have to come
to court on flimsy evidence,"
House continued.
The work detail is super­vised
by the City Manager and
City Police and does not
appear on the police record
as a penalty.
Chief Hammock has indi­cated
that his department is
cracking down on the problem
of city littering.

The Legislature,colleges
and genuine change
mmmwk
By Bruce Hkhok
Alabama newspapers reported last week
that the 15 new junior colleges, which re­ceived
less operating money than they requested for the cur­rent
fiscal year, will start classes in the fall sharing the
same appropriation with two additional institutions. New
junior colleges will be opened at Andalusia and Fayette.
Construction funds have been
The Auburn Plainsman is the student newspaper of Auburn University. The paper

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

None ot our business?
The angry secrecy which key admin­istrators
have wrapped around the
status of the contingency fund is
ominously disturbing; student leaders
have encountered unexplained resis­tance
to their requests for a report on
how much student activity money is
left in the fund.
The request was routine. Student
government merely wanted to know so
that they might make intelligent recom­mendations
for the funds' use. After
all, it is student money.
Now the request is not routine. We,
along with student government, are
concerned. If the university's finances
and funds collected from student acti­vity
fees are being handled properly,
we can't imagine what certain admin­istrators
could want to hide.
Unexplained secrecy suggests
skulduggery. Let's have an explan­ation
now.
The value of reevaluation
We have watched the burgeoning of
student power movements across the
country with mixed feelings.
At various times, we have felt fear,
disgust, amusement and pride.
Student power is frightening in the
wrong hands, and we have seen it used
wrongly at Howard University and at
Tuskegee. Student power is sometimes
disgusting, and we have seen the less
savory side of it at Berkeley and at
tios Angeles. Student power is some­times
ludicrous, and we have seen the
funny side of it on buttous and pla­cards.
But, we have been proud too.
We have been proud of student
power when it has been manifested in
responsible student demands on col­lege
administrators. Students at
Grambling College in Louisiana, for
example, protested an imbalance in
emphasis on athletics at the expense
of academics. Students at Troy State
demanded certain rights, took their
case to court and won the first round
in an important fight.
We have been proud, too, of the new
awareness which Auburn student
government is exhibiting this year in
the realm of student rights and re­sponsibilities.
The wave of question­ing,
valid questioning, which has
washed over the country is being felt
here too-if a little belatedly. Admin­istrators
here err if they believe this
stirring of new concern among students
will by-pass Auburn. This university
is not, by any stretch of the imagin­ation,
less needy of reexamination
than other i n s t i t u t i o n s of higher
learning. And, responsible students
have something to contribute to that
reexamination.
The patience and reason with which
Auburn student leaders are pursuing
their goals is admirable and wise.
Two student leaders have columns on
this page today; their emphasis is on
continued efforts to cooperate with
the administration.
But, cooperation is a two-way street;
a wise administration will listen to
what student leaders are saying and
will be open and above board in deal­ing
with student requests. If adminis- ,
trators think these particular leaders
do not speak for a majority of Auburn
students, they may be right at the
moment. However, these leaders say
that Auburn students are simply not
aware of the situation. Where there's
smoke there very well may be fire; and
when there's fire, the word spreads
quickly.
Until we have reason to believe
otherwise, we will believe that Au­burn
administrators are following pro­cedures
which they think are best for
students and the university-not merely
those procedures which are convenient,
traditional, or suited to their whims.
Until we have reason to believe other­wise,
we will believe that their poli­cies
spring from a philosophy of edu­cation
which has developed over a
long period of time and which they
have thought through honestly and
objectively. If such is the case, we
can see no reason why administrators
should be uncooperative with the re-evaluation
which student leaders are
advocating; they should welcome it.
Student leaders here are not in favor
of scrapping the wisdom of experience
which administrators should have; so
far, they have not advocated unrea­sonable
student control over curricu­lum
or anything else. They merely
believe that students can make a more
constructive contribution to the acad­emic
community if they are treated as
responsible citizens and partners in
learning. As long as this is their ob­jective,
we encourage student leaders
to proceed with the particulars.
This newspaper will, as always, en­deavor
to inform students of the facts
so that they can form an intelligent
opinion on the issues. Before all the
particulars are in, however, we can
say this: Nothing fashioned by men is
so sacred that it is above reexamin­ation.
A wise man always stands ready
to reevaluate his position on current
issues.
Auburn administrators can avoid
the unnecessary problems which have
exploded on other campuses if they
act wisely now.
The tainting ot honors
The root of the word honorary is
honor. Once in a while, however, the
members of honoraries seem to forget
this. The weakness has shown itself
everywhere; lately, however, it seems
particularly evident among the women
on this campus.
Honoraries exist on any campus for
the purpose of recognizing outstanding
contributions in certain fields. Various
honoraries recognize various contri­butions;
particular ones have parti­cular
qualifications.
Leadership honoraries supposedly
recognize leadership service which
meets certain preset standards. Among
these standards, personality or popu­larity
should not be found. Whenever
an honorary organization fails to ad­here
to this high purpose, all Auburn
honoraries are dishonored because the
very label, honorary, loses some of its
meaning. Whenever a deserving person
is omitted unjustly, the honor for
those selected is tainted.
We have not named names. Those
who need to understand the particular
instance do. For the rest, the meaning
should be clear enough; let's keep
petty personality differences in their
proper place-particularly when the
time for tappings rolls around.
allocated but operating funds
have not.
How long will the Legis­lature
continue to make naif
adequate provision for Ala­bama
education? Probably
about as long as the people
exhibit seeming indifference
to the Legislature's failure.
The Legislature seems to
measure progress solely by
the number of institutions
they can add to a list some­where,
not by how adequately
they finance those institu­tions.
The Auburn Bulletin has
reported the facts. Alabama
education is now $81 below
the Southeastern average in
per child expenditure for edu­cation.
The average is $484;
Alabama spends $403. Sure,
we are doing better now than
we did seven years ago, but
seven years ago we were only
$20 behind the other states
in this region. We are not im­proving
fast enough and Ala­bama
is being left behind.
The comments of Alabama
educators continue to suggest
that education in this state
is a jack-leg operation held
together by bailing wire and
little else. Unless there are
some drastic changes soon,
that unfortunate situation will
continue-in the state which
has produced the most out­spoken
advocate of returning
schools to the complete con­trol
of local authorities. If
Alabama education had to
depend solely on the Legis­lature,
there is reason to be­lieve
that schools would be
operating on a horse and
buggy basis.
You have read about the
problems of Alabama educa­tion
before and you may be
thinking, "When are they go­ing
to stop saying the same
things over and over?" The
answer is: not until more
meaningful action is taken.
Alabama's educational
problems are not much dif­ferent
from those in any other
state; they are just more se­vere
and we have fewer people
doing much about the situa­tion.
Before anything else
can be done, attitudes must
change.
Sure, the average citizen
of Alabama is not quite as
rich as the average citizens
of most other s t a t e s ; but
we've got to realize that we'll
never be much better off col­lectively
unless we make
some real sacrifices for the
improvement of our educa­tional
system.
We cannot continue to build
buildings without providing
adequate funds for quality
school operation. We cannot
continue to promise teachers
that their salaries will be
raised without providing mean­ingful
increases.
We are simply going to have
to pay more taxes for educa­tion.
More sources of income
must be found. Why not put
a higher tax on beer or liquor?
People would buy alcoholic
beverages if they cost twice
as much as they do now. And,
that income must be used
wisely, not merely to add the
names of more one-horse
institutions to a list.
We've waited for action a
long time. We can wait until
next week, we can wait until
next month, and we could
wait until next year. We only
hope that the Legislature will
not wait until the 21st century
to move meaningfully into
the 20th.
lime for action...
President Philpott:
an Auburn enigma
By Sam Phillips
When the word went out last year that
Dr. Philpott's honeymoon with Auburn Uni­versity
was over, we expected more than a settled marriage.
The hope for any AU renaissance has since gone the way of
most sought after changes at this institution, but the peddlers
of optimism have not ceased to insist that, with time, change
will come.
There is no reason to be­lieve
them as long as Presi­dent
Philpott and his assist­ants
remain "do-nothing pro­gressives."
They have relied
in the past on the politeness
of Auburn students and faculty
to preserve the status quo and
an unquestioned authority. No
one is more aware than tney
that change is at hand and
that their absolute control is
near an end. They have
watched as the demands for
reforms have spread from
Berkeley to the University of
Alabama, the University of
Georgia and nearby Tuske­gee.
Auburn's day cannot be
far off. The warning signs are
evident.
Students cannot be expected
to talk forever about liberal­izing
women's rules, reforming
discipline procedures, estab­lishing
honesty standards
and improving library facili­ties
(not to mention the Union
Building and Drake Infirmary).
Nor can students be expected
to accept forever the adminis­tration's
excuse of "tradi­tion,"
"a good relationship
with the state legislature "
and a "lack of funds." The
day will soon come when
Dean Foy's "Wawah-Eegul"
will not be the answer to all
student problems. This cam­pus
is not exempt from acti­vism,
and the administration
knows it. This knowledge,
however, has produced a curi­ous
retreat.
Rather than seeking to
understand students' griev­ances,
President Philpott has
encouraged polarization. He
prefers to brag to Rotary
Clubs and to the news media
that the Auburn student is
happy, well-adjusted, court­eous
and most of all, orderly
rather than to admit that there
is any dissatisfaction, frus­tration
or disorder at his uni­versity.
He is like a South­ern
Baptist preacher who
pounds his pulpit to conceal
a weak argument.
Dramatics and loud talk
will not impress the men of
Magnolia Hall whose rooms
and clothing were searched
last month, nor will they im­press
two students who re­cently
were called before the
Joint Discipline Committee
for breaking the apartment
rule between quarters. Nor
will Dr. Philpott's protesta­tions
impress four fraternity
men brought before the Disci­pline
Committee after being
charged by civil authorities
outside Auburn. Nor will his
protestations impress faculty
members who see Academic
Honesty Committee decisions
altered or reversed by the
president.
These are specifics and
can be documented, but they
evolve from a less obvious
philosophy. Auburn adminis­trators
are part of a system
that will publicize a blood
drive but not a memorial ser­vice
for Dr. Martin Luther
King; they are part of a sys­tem
that will play business
and politics to the detriment
of this institution's self-image;
they are part of a sys­tem,
in other words, that must
be improved.
Not all students feel a
direct effect from this sys­tem,
and some, perhaps, ap­prove.
But every student is
liable to the penalties which
this administration invokes.
And, every student and faculty
member is liable to the regi­mentation
which is at the
core of this administration's
philosophy.
For too long, students have
asked few questions and de­manded
no answers. Today
the questions are "When?"
and "How?" The answer to
the first is "Now!" The Stu­dent
Senate can present this
"OF COVKf I'P 5AY YHTOTHF NOMINATOR IT?THE ONLY WOR0 I KNOW.*
Student-administration cooperation...
Impetus for change
must come now
By Charles Bentky
For many southern "student leaders"
1968 has been a year of irony and confusion.
We have witnessed student take-overs at a few universities
and students being suspended at the whim of administrators
at others. We have experienced conflict with radicals who
piously think they monopolize "serious concern" and with
conservatives who find too
much comfort in an imaginary
past.
However, out of this irony
and confusion we are begin­ning
to bring into focus the
direction in which student
governments should move.
Southern higher education
is in atransition characterized
by'our universities' new em­phasis
on thoughts and ideas-the
humanities. In the past
southern institutions faced
the sole important task of
teaching skills-agriculture
and engineering. Only re­cently
have our schools
shown signs that they are
willing to accept the chal­lenge
of improving social
sciences. During the 1950's
and continuing into the 60's
the necessity for a strong
liberal arts curriculum has
become obvious to educators.
At Auburn this new attitude
is reflected by the con­struction
of the Haley Center
and the creation of a Depart­ment
of Political Science,
among other innovations.
' But these changes, and
others which will follow, will
be meaningless unless the
role of the student changes
also. The purpose of a uni­versity
is to instill know­ledge,
stimulate thinking
and prepare people to im­prove
society. How can these
goals be accomplished when
students are spoon-fed and
must endure what is often a
superior-inferior relationship
with the other segments of
the university community?
These aspects, which are
shared by most southern uni­versities,
only serve to
retard the growth of students
and, therefore, universities.
Generally, these maladies
can be cured by a breakdown
of the once necessary but
now outdated philosophy of
'en loco parentis.' Changes
are overdue which provide
for more student responsibi­lity
and a more important
voice for students in the
affairs of the university. What
kind of rights does a student
have when the university's
discipline committee can
expel him from the institu­tion
for 'conduct unbecoming
an Auburn student,' even if
the university is not in ses­sion
when the "offense"
occurs? What kind of respect
does an administrator show
towards students when he
continually ignores a student
government request for a
financial statement concern­ing
student activities money?
How can students learn to
put their own ideas into
action when the religious
affairs committee is prohi­bited
from sponsoring a
memorial service for Dr.
Martin Luther King?
Unfortunately, these are
but a few of the grievances.
This change of student
status, which southern stu­dent
governments must neces­sarily
advocate, should not
frighten or alarm adminis­trators
who are sometimes
prone to overreact to student
thought. What we are asking
for is not control over the
university but rather a part­nership
with administrators
and faculty for bettering the
university. What students
need are less rules and more
responsibilities-more op­portunities
for self develop­ment.
And we believe that
' these changes would be a
step in the direction of pro­gress
for an expanding and
improving university.
The impetus for these
changes must come from
student government-adminis­tration
cooperation. Working
separately, these two groups
have failed to provide dyna­mic
leadership in regard to
changes in the realm of stu­dent
status. While adminis­trations
of southern univer­sities
have t r a d i t i o n a l ly
mirrored the conservatism of
the region, student govern­ments
have failed to venture
beyond service-oriented
activities. Let us hope that
these groups can work to­gether
with a sense of coope­ration
to make education
more meaningful. If we fail
to act, a concern vacuum will
develop, which is a sign of
impending danger, because
this vacuum is usually filled
by Students for a Demo­cratic
Society or some other
radical organization. This
process has already reached
the SDS s t a g e on a few
neighboring campuses.
Auburn has a solid foun­dation
of student government-administration
communication
and cooperation to build
from, but will we act before
we are forced to? Instead of
platitudes and nostalgic
glances backward to what it
once was, the university
needs a rigorous look at the
reality of the world it
occupies today.-Clark Kerr
In the ghettos..
Alienation,
not poverty,
causes violence
By Jimmy Reeder
The "recent" history of
ghetto violence began in
Watts in 1965 and is still un­folding
every day in the news­papers.
The extreme poverty
of the rioters is often blamed
for the unrest. Facts do not
support this claim.
Eighty-three per cent of
those arrest­ed
during last
summer's up­rising
in Det­roit
earned
over $6,000.
This is dou­ble
the so-called
"po­verty
level'
f i g u r e of
$3,000. The report compiled
by the University of Michigan
Center for Urban Studies said
that residents of the area
where the rioting took place
were "substantially better off
in every respect" than
Negroes living in the hard
core ghetto area. Similar
trends were found in Washing­ton,
D.C., during violence
following the assassination
of Dr. Martin Luther King.
The civil rights movement
took a more violent turn when
Negroes found true equality
did not come with the ham­burger
they bought at the
newly-integrated lunch coun­ter.
They found their social
and economic level did not
come up to the standards they
saw in advertising, on tele­vision
or in the movies they
can now watch from the main
floor.
If poverty, slum conditions
and idleness are not the
c a u s e s of unrest, what
prompts people to go insane,
burning buildings, looting
stores and shooting firemen?
The University of Michigan
report concluded that the
violence was a result of frus­tration
and was "an insist­ence
that Negroes be able to
participate in and to control
their own destinies and com­munity
affairs."
A recent Lou Harris Poll
finds that 52 per cent of Ame­rican
Negroes feel that poli­ticians
and other government
^officials don't really care
about their welfare. This is a
20 per cent rise over two
years ago.
This is where changes must
be made. All citizens must be
made to feel they do have a
stake in the political system,
that government is concerned
about their needs and frustra­tions.
They must be given
hope that officials are trying
to solve their problems and
to give them a role in finding
the best solution.
The. nation's poor will not
find their much-needed dignity
in government handouts. New
programs must be created
which will demand participa­tion
of the beneficiaries.
They must be encouraged to
take part in these programs
and be given real hope that
they can rise to a higher
place in society.
Only when they are given
this hope and a real "feeling
of belonging" in society will
they feel obligated to support
the status quo. To refuse this
hope will bring only more
bitterness and violence.
America has had too much
divisiveness. We must unite
to achieve common goals for
the betterment of all.
spring a list of reforms con­cerning
discipline and aca­demic
honesty. And it isn't
too late for Nancy Tilden to
quit acquiescing to adminis­trators
and to secure for Au­burn
coeds meaningful
changes. After all, why should
21 year olds have to promise
to be "good" in order to be
free. The Magnolia Dorm se­nate
can petition student
government for an investiga­tion
of recent dorm searches.
Why is Auburn one of the few
big universities with such
practices?A massive "check­out,
check-in" at the library
might underscore student
dissatisfaction with inade­quacies
there. To students
ready for more militant action,
these proposals seem relative­ly
mild. They will, however,
give the administration a
chance to respond positively
before student government is
forced to endanger its lines
of cooperative communication.
Cooperation is still a possi­bility.
If this seems overly opti­mistic,
it is based on faith in
the Dr. Philpott that Auburn
hasn't seen. Reliable sources
say that his private conversa­tions
indicate a different atti­tude
than do his official
statements, that his behavior
as an administrator seems to
contradict some of his perso­nal
convictions and that he
still believes in this institu­tion.
If this is true, we do not
need a new administration: we
need to see the best of the
present one. Now is the time,
Dr. Philpott.

Apathy toward RAC 'appalling'
RAC participant
"appalled by apathy'
Editor, The Plainsman:
This letter-to-the-editor is
being written to point out the
appalling apathy of the Au­burn
student body towards
this year's Religious Affairs
Conference. (This may or may
not be the r e s u l t of poor
publicity.)
The conference was the re­sult
of a year's planning and
hard work by a sizeable group
of students and faculty mem­bers.
The four speakers-Rev.
Grady Nutt, Dr. William Mal­lard,
Rev. Earl Brill and Dr.
David Buttrick-were all men
who, although perhaps not as
widely known as ACOIA
speakers, still had a great
deal to say to students. They
were all liberal (in the best
sense of that word), members
of the new breed of theolo­gians,
men who have dis­carded
the old evangelical
"Brother, are you saved?" in
favor of the more meaningful
"Are you hungry? then I'll
feed you," "Are you lonely?
here's my hand," "Are you in
shackles? then I'll, set you
free!"
• The theme of the conference
was Freedom and Responsi­bility.
The various speeches
this one broad theme ran the
gamut from human rights to
sex to literature to personal
relationships to the church
and the new theology. Those
who may have stayed away
thinking that the conference
would be merely an extension
of what they could hear any
Sunday morning in church were
sadly mistaken. Several of the
speeches touched on the very
things you would be most
likely not to hear in church,
but rather things that pricked
the conscience, stimulated
the intellect and stirred from
apathy into awareness.
Having worked on the Reli­gious
Affairs Committee for
2 years, I was embarrassed to
have to make excuses to the
speakers for the lack of re­sponse
from the Auburn stu­dent
body. At no time was the
Union Ballroom more than
3/4 filled; in fact, the usual
attendance was around 70 or
80 people. This was an ad­vantage
in a way, for it al­lowed
for more informal con­tact
and communication be­tween
the speakers and the
audience. Several times the
question-and-answer period
after a speech would occupy
almost as much time as the
speech itself. But it seems
something of a shame that
less than 1% of our student
body felt sufficiently inter­ested
to attend this confer­ence,
especially when ACOIA
was so well attended t h is
year.
I wonder if the students
just didn't know about the
conference, or if they weren't
interested in anything that
had to do with religion, or if
they were so secure in their
old-time religion that they
didn't want to be shaken, or
what? In any case, the con­ference
is over, and the op­portunity
is past. I only hope
that next year the situation
will be different.

I would like to make a com­ment
concerning the letter
appearing in The Plainsman
last April 4, concerning the
President's lawn.
I have played football,
thrown the discus and also
have played soccer on this
lawn many times. I have not
noticed that this lawn is over­grown
with weeds, nor have I
noticed that it is unsightly.
I feel that the people re­sponsible
for the care of Dr.
Philpott's lawn are doing a
very commendable job.

King memorial tribute
questioned by student
Editor, The Plainsman:
I wonder.
Monday, at the memorial
tribute to Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., Father Bernard J.
Riley, CM. attempted to justi­fy
the Negroes' extreme
actions throughout the United
States. He advocated that the
Negro had every right to all of
the looting, rioting, obstruc­tion,
etc. because "all white
people of America have caused
a gross malcontent among the
Negroes."
Is Father Riley justifying
one extreme with another? Is
he saying that Germany had
e v e r y right to wage hell
through Europe in what is now
referred to as WW I and WW n?
Does he maintain that Russia
has every right to oppress the
United States and other smal­ler
countries because Russia
itself was once downtrodden?
Father Riley said that Rap
Brown andStokelyCarmichael,
as well as other Negroes,
have every right to incite
riots, burnings, looting and
even k i l l i n g s because the
towns have never really re­presented
them-et cetera, et
cetera. By this thinking, every
Cuban refugee, every Russian,
Frenchman, Chinaman, has
every right to wage war against
the United States or any other
nation.
Does Father Riley main­tain
"an eye for an eye, and
a tooth for a tooth?" Does he
condone capital punishment?
If so, does he use the same
strategy? If not, just what
strategy does he use?
I accept as true that the
white people have done the
Negroes a gross misdeed in
denying them full equality and

rights. In d o i n g so to the
least of them, we have done
so to ourselves. Now, Father
Riley maintains that the whites
should turn our resources over
to the Negroes. This would be
an even worse deed to them
and to our country. This would
not be an honest action to­ward
ourselves or the Negroes.
I feel that the immediate
aims should be utmost honesty
between the white people and
the Negroes, a turning point
from prejudice.
I have been guilty of tra­ditional
misdeeds in the past.
I wish only to be honest now.
Father Riley poses a poor
substitute for Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. I believe he
is a confused man and before
he tries to "lead" anyone, he
first must make peace with
himself.
I wonder about this message.

local prices, taxes
attacked by student
Editor, The Plainsman:
Before coming to Auburn
in September of 1966, I had
heard of the Auburn Tiger. At
that time I thought the Au­burn
Tiger was the mascot
of Auburn's athletic teams.
However, when I arrived I
found that the real mascot
was the "War Eagle." What
then was the Auburn Tiger?
Since that time I have dis­covered
what the Auburn
Tiger really means. The "Au­burn
Tiger" is the Auburn
businessman, the Auburn city
government and the Auburn
University police department.
These "tigers" stalk Auburn
students much like a real
tiger would stalk his prey.
The Auburn businessman
stalks the student by charging
higher prices than any other
college town in the South.
Examples include milk (20
cents per gallon higher),
canned goods (4 cents per can
higher) and cigarettes (15
cents per pack higher).
The Auburn city government
stalks married students with
the highest prices for garbage
service of any city in Ala­bama,
the high property tax
on house trailers for out of
state students who really
should pay no Alabama pro­perty
tax b e c a u s e of the
$1,500 per year out of state
tuition they pay, and the li­cense
plates for trailers which
have not and will not be on
Alabama roads for several
years.
The Auburn University
police department stalks, es­pecially
vet students, behind
the physiology building for
parking in the wrong direction,
when actually there is no curb
or designated way to park.
I grew up and attended a
college in my home town in
Kentucky. The population of
the town was35,000, and there
were 10,000 additional col­lege
students. These business
and towns people made "the
students welcome, not just
for their money, but they
showed real "Kentucky hospi­tality."
This is something I
would like to see in Auburn
for a change, a little of the
"Southern hospitality" we
hear so much about.
Until we do, beware of the
"Auburn Tiger."

RAC head questions
Value of program'
Editor, The Plainsman:
During the past two years
we have had ample opportunity
to evaluate the existence of a
Religious Affairs Committee
'on this campus. We feel that
it is now our responsibility
ito question the value of such
a committee. Because value
is not inherent but contigent
upon campus interpretation,
Religious Affairs programs
are now tolerated rather than
supported by the student gov­ernment,
its leaders who ap­point
the committee itself and
this newspaper who purports
to publicize campus activities.
The reason for this lack of
interest lies not with a failure
on the part of the committee
to provide a program of value
to all Auburn students regard­less
of religious affiliation or
lack of it, but with the pre­conceived
ideas held by this
campus as to what religious
affairs really are.
The student government,
its leaders, this newspaper
and most students view this
program as an advanced Sun­day
School class or a sophis­ticated
revival held annually
to make God happy with Au­burn
University. Most of the
campus, including ourselves,
fail to believe this purpose
has any merit whatsoever.
Rather, we believe the real
purpose of this committee is
to deal with the whole spect­rum
of man's interaction with
man. Interestingly enough this
also seems to be the purpose
of such Organizations as the
Human Rights Forum and
ACOIA.
Unfortunately, the stigma
of the word "religious" has
given this committee and its
programs the label of " a nice
thing to have" but not valu­able
enough to support. Unless
this image is erased, it seems
ridiculous to us to continue
a program which is spending
the second largest percentage
of student activity fees allo­cated
to a campus committee
and accomplishing absolutely
nothing.

Rule warning issued
by Chewacla official
Dr. Brittin
to lecture
in Spain
Dr. Norman A. Brittin, pro­fessor
of English, has been
awarded an Educational Ex­change
Grant to lecture at the
University of La Laguna,
Spain, located in the Canary
Islands.
Designated a Fulbright
Lecturer under the 1946 Ful­bright
Act, Dr. Brittin will
arrive in Madrid Sept. 9 and
lecture for the 1968-69 Spanish
school year.
Dr. Brittin is one of 2,500
United States citizens who
are awarded similar grants
each year.
"Although I don't have to
be in Spain until early Sept­ember,"
s a i d Dr. Brittin,
"we'll leave here about two
months earlier and tour the
country."
The purpose of this and
similar awards is to increase
mutual understanding between
the U.S. and other nations
and to assist in the develop­ment
of other countries.
Sunbathing behind the dam
at Chewac la-one of the
pleasures of Auburn. Just
stay out of the water and
don't take alcoholic bever­ages
anywhere in the park.
A fine will be levied
against anyone possessing
alcoholic beverages or swim­ming
near the dam or in the
creek at Chewacla State Park
after the park opens tomorrow,
according to James Murphy,
park superintendent.
"IN THE PAST," MURPHY
said, "these rules have been
overlooked, but now they will
be strictly enforced. There
will be no exceptions." Near
the beach is the only area
where swimming is a l l o w e d.
Chewacla Creek and the area
behind the dam will be off-limits
to swimmers.
"Swimming will be allowed
in the designated swimming
area only," Murphy continued.
"A fine of $53.50 to $100 will
be imposed on anyone swim­ming
in the off-limits area."
Les Tucker, Chewacla
lifeguard said, "This rule is
for our visitors' own protec­tion.
That is an extremely
dangerous section of the lake,
and drownings could easily
occur there."
ANYONE CAUGHT WITH
alcoholic beverages on the
park grounds will be fined
from $49.50 to $100, enforce­able
in city court, according
to Murphy. He especially
warned persons under 21 that
they could be fined for under­age
possession of alcohol.
The park will open each
day at & a.m. and close prompt­ly
at sundown. Anyone in the
park after closing will be
charged with trespassing.
"Unlike last year," Mur­phy
said, "there will be no
entrance fee to get into the
park. Instead, a fifty cent
swimming fee will be charged
for adults, and children under
12 must pay a quarter."
Murphy reminded all drivers
in the park of the 25 mile-per-hour
speed limit, which will
also be strictly enforced.
"It is a pleasure to have
students from Auburn visit
with us at Chewacla State
Park, and we do not like to
see them get into trouble,"
Murphy concluded.

Out of the shadows
There's always plenty of sun in Plainsman Park's left
field and Auburn's Dennis Womack likes it out there,
mainly because he's doing something he loves, playing
baseball.
Dennis has always loved baseball, playing pick up
games in the streets of Jacksonville, Fla., as a kid,
making the all-City team his senior year in high school,
winning scholarships to Gulf Coast Junior College and
then to Auburn. And Dennis, a physical education major,
won't leave baseball behind on the Plains when he gradu­ates
in 1969, for he plans to coach the sport for a living.
But last spring Womack did hot stand in the sun so
much, as he does now, waiting for an opposing hitter to
send a fly ball his way. In fact, he did not run at all, as
he does now, chasing down a hit or spearing a line drive.
Last spring Womack spent his time at Plainsman Park
hobbling painfully around on an ankle which had been
broken some three months before.
But the pain in Womack's ankle was nothing, compared
with the pain which throbbed in his mind.
Three months before, on January 29, 1967, a Sunday
night, Womack and his pregnant wife June were returning
from a visit to Pensacola. Womack had been ill all week­end
with a strep throat.
Twelve mites from home
Twelve miles from Auburn, on the winding curves of
Wire Road, Womack passed out from exhaustion. The car
left the road, turned over and over. The last thing Womack
heard was his wife's screams.
Womack came to in Lee County Hospital. He had a
compound fracture of the left ankle. His wife was in|criti­cal
condition. Eight days later, she died.
"I felt like the world collapsed on me," said Womack.
One of the people who was around Dennis extensively
during this time was physical education instructor W.N.
Barrington, who had taught Dennis a class and had gotten
to know him well.
"Dennis had suffered a tremendous loss," said Barring-ton,
"and this was about as rough a time as a 20-year-old
could have.
"But I never had any doubt in my mind that he would
come through it all right. He's a real fine Christian boy
who is the type who won't give up on anything.
"He has faith in himself, and he usually weighs his
decisions heavily. Apparently he decided that he would
make it through this crisis and he did."
Womack was out of the hospital in less than two weeks.
There was a pin in his ankle and he wore a cast on his
leg for eight weeks. During this time he decided to try to
play baseball again.
Thoughts ahouf ploying again
"At first, I didn't worry about playing again," says
Womack, "and then I began to think about it. In the back
of my mind I think I always knew that I 'would play again
if I could.
"I never did want to quit, baseball or living."
So Dennis attended the team's practices and watched
all the games, helping out the managers and encouraging
his teammates, while they, in turn, encouraged him.
He moved into Sewell Hall, Auburn's athletic dormitory,
and roomed with Jim Blauser, a pitcher who graduated last
June.
"Blauser was great to me," says Dennis. "He would
see when I was feeling bad and try to talk me out of it. I
knew what he was doing all along, and I really appreciated
i t ."
Dennis went home to Jacksonville in the summer. His
psychological hurts were slowly healing, and now he had
to get his ankle in shape.
The ankle was swollen so badly that all he could do
was jog, and he did plenty of that.
Back in Auburn in the fall, Dennis played basketball
to strengthen his ankle, then attended fall baseball prac­tice.

'BuldyY hits kept falling in
as Auburn won five contests
" I 'm just going to keep
swinging and keep praying
that the hits fall i n , " said
Auburn first baseman Frank
Baldasare late Wednesday
afternoon before boarding
the charter bus which would
take him and his Tiger team­mates
to Lexington, Ky. for
a two-game weekend series
with the Kentucky Wildcats.
If prayer had anything to do
with "Baldy's" hitting during
the past six days, the big
junior must have been spend­ing
most of his time on his
knees.
Frank hit .611 in the Tiger's
last five games, helping Au­burn
to 4-2 and 11-0 wins over
Tulane on Friday and Satur­day
, 7-5 and 6-1' victories
against Miami on Monday and
Tuesday, and a 4-3 defeat of
Mercer on Wednesday.
Baldasare collected 11 hits
in 18 at bats and took the
Southeastern Conference bat­ting
lead away from Auburn
pitcher-outfielder George
Simmons.
Frank's average climbed to
.425 as he bashed four extra
hits during the five-game
period, including his third
home run of the year.
Simmons, second in the
hitting race at .408, was the
winning pitcher in the open­ing
Tulane game and the se­cond
Miami game. This boosted
George's record to four wins
and two losses.
Pitchers Earl Nance and
Danny Little combined to
blank Tulane, 11-0, in last
Saturday's game as Baldasare
went four-for-four. Auburn
Coach Paul Nix emptied his
bench, playing 19 Tigers.
Nance was the winning
pitcher.
Earl brought his record to
4-2 on Wednesday by pitching
1 1/3 innings in relief against
Mercer and scoring the winning
run in the bottom of the ninth.
Tommy Smith won his fourth
game of the year against no
loses Tuesday, although he
was pounded for five runs by
i Miami team which Balda­sare
described as looking
"like a triple-A ball club."
Miami's centerfielder Larry
Pyle and first baseman Hank
Urbanowicz hit home runs.
Miami, ranked 14th nation­ally
before their two losses
co Auburn, left the Plains
with a 19-8 record. '

Auburn track coach Mel
Rosen didn't know whether
to laugh or cry after Alvin
Bresler's high point perfor­mance
in the Tigers' 104-
41 win over Georgia last
Saturday.
Freshman Bresler scored
jl2'/2 points in his first Cliff
Hare Stadium college meet,
tand Rosen was grinning broad­ly
about that.
But the meet may have been
Bresler's last, for this sea­son
at any rate.
Bresler was in f o o t b a ll
pads Tuesday when the Tigers
opened spring practice.
Bresler is considered a
doubtful starter for Auburn in
a five-team meet in Talla­hassee,
Fla. Saturday. Rosen
could use Bresler's talents
against the likes of host team
Florida State, Florida, Ala­bama
and Mississippi State.
AGAINST GEORGIA,
Alvin won the 120-yard high
hurdles in an Auburn freshman
record time of :14.6, captured
the 100 in 10 flat, and ran
legs of the Tigers' winning
440 and mile relay efforts.
"Funny thing is," said
Rosen, "we didn't run Alvin
in what may be his best event,
the intermediate hurdles."
Bresler is attending Auburn
on a football scholarship. He
is expected to contend for a
wideout position this spring.
"We hope to have Alvin
available for our remaining
home meet against Georgia
Tech," said Rosen. "We
don't know whether he'll be
able to make any road trips
with us.
"ALVIN SAID HE'D RUN
some each day at nine in the
morning, in addition to work­ing
out with the football team.
That'll be quite a grind for
Alvin. You can't ask for any
more than that."

claim sprinter Larry Willing-ham.

Frafs vie for All-Sports Trophy;
Alpha Tau Omega has 21-point lead
By ED RUZIC
Of all the honors a fra­ternity
can attain, probably
the most cherished is the
All-Sports Trophy.
Talk to a Delta Chi and
sooner or later you'll find
out they were last year's
winner. Talk to a Phi Tau and
you'll learn they won the
trophy in 1966.
Members of the fraternity
which wins the All-Sports
Trophy are proud, and rightly
so.
Winning the trophy shows
the members have worked to­gether
and struggled through
11 different sports and have
outplayed 25 other fraternities.
Having the trophy supplies
one of the best drawing cards
for pledges than almost any
other single thing a fraternity
can show at first glance.
This year Alpha Tau Omega
leads in trophy competition.
Although the ATO's haven't
won a first place in any sport
this year, they have been
close to the top in almost
everything.
THEY PLACED SECOND
in bowling and volleyball,
and third in football and swim­ming.
The managers, which are
always an important factor in
a team's success, are Bob
Mantle, Bob Smith and Posey
Hines.
Delta Chi is in second
place, 21 points behind ATO.
Sigma Nu, winners in both
football and basketball, is
tied with Phi Kappa Tau. Both
trail by 26 points.
The KA's are in fifth place
and have a good chance to
catch up, especially after
their 4-2 softball victory over
the ATO's this past week.

past seasons but is currently
rounding into shape after a
long football campaign as a
first-team tailback.
Rosen describes FSU as
"the best independent track
team in the South." Florida
is considered by track experts
as the Southeastern Conference
darkhorse and kingpin Ten­nessee's
number one threat
this season.
Where does this leave Au­burn
Saturday?
"FSU and Florida are
strong in the same events,"
said Rosen. "We're hoping
they run right into each otheij
and we can sneak up on them
and win the meet."
FSU has outstanding per­formers
in h u r d l e r s Mike
Kelly and Charlie Vickers;
distance man Marc William­son;
sprinters Andy Guy and
Greg Kaufman, and high
jumper-javelin thrower Bud
Manning.
Florida counters with hurd­lers
Steve Tannen and Clint
Fowlkes; half-milers Bob
Lang, Steve Keller, and Don
Hale; distance man Frank
Lagotic; sprinters Barry Hand-berg
and Tommy Brown; weight
man John Morton, and high
jumper Ron Jourdan.
"I think guys like our Joe
Bush and Alabama's David
Adkins could hurt Florida and
FSU enough to make a dif­ference
in winning and losing
the meet," said Rosen.
Adkins is Alabama's ace
and a top Conference per­former
in the 220, 440 and
440 hurdles. Another dan­gerous
Crimson Tidesman is
miler Angelo Harris.
Mississippi State is led by
weight man Alex Cinicola and
hurdler John Pennebaker.
IN SATURDAY'S MEET,
Auburn's mile relay team of
Pete Ginter, John Kipp,
Bresler and Bush flashed to a
3:17.1 clocking which erased
the old Cliff Hare Stadium
record by one-tenth second.
Kipp earlier broke the dual
meet record in the 880, run­ning
a 1:53.8-a career high
for the 145-pound sophomore.
Bush won the quarter-mile
with a :48.5 and ran a leg on
the 440 relay.
Barry Erwin and Ricky
Heath went one-two in the
shot and discus. Erwin's win­ning
marks were 52-5'/£ in the
shot and 154-6 in the discus.
Auburn had a full house in
the long jump. Jack Marsh
took first with the best SEC
jump of the spring, 23-10M>
and was followed by Mickey
Jones and Mike Brannan.
Werner Beiersdoerfer ac­counted
for another dual meet
record with a 14:36.2 perfor­mance
in the three-mile.
Georgia won only three of
the 17 events. Dennis Ford-ham
triple jumped 46-11%,
Howard Elkins threw the
javelin 198-7, and Gene
Andrews ran the 440 hurdles
in :55.1 for G e o r g i a 's

He had thoughts as to whether the ankle would stand
the strain of cutting and sliding. One day the Tigers were
having sliding practice, and Coach Paul Nix told Dennis
to go ahead and try to slide.
"I didn't even think about my ankle," says Dennis. "I
just did what Coach told me to do. Nothing happened to
the ankle, and it's been okay so far this season."
Dennis says he hasn't lost any speed, although he adds
with a grin, "I never was too fast any way." The injury
has affected his cutting to a slight degree, but Dennis
has fielded and hit well thus far.
While platooning with Ty Coppinger in the outfield,
mainly in left, Dennis has hit well above .300 since the
Tigers began play in the middle of March.
"I'd like to be playing everyday," says Womack, "but
we have a pretty strong outfield, and I'm happy if I can
come in and help out."
Dennis Womack was out in left the other day against
Miami. He made a beautiful running catch of a sinking
drive in the first inning, then trotted back to his position.

WAS KEATS THE BOB DYLAN
OF HIS DAY?
Who was the greatest of the English Romantic Poets-
Byron, Shelley or Keats ? This question has given rise to
many lively campus discussions and not a few stabbings.
Let us today try to find an answer.
First, Keats (or The Louisville Slugger, as he is com­monly
called.) Keats' talent bloomed early. While still a
schoolboy at St. Swithin's he wrote his epic lines:
/ / / am good I get an apple,
So I don't luh istle in th e chapel.
From this distinguished beginning he went on to write
another 40 million poems, an achievement all the more re­markable
when you consider that he was only five feet
tall! I mention this fact only to show that physical prob­lems
never keep the. true artist from creating. Byron, for
example, was lame. Shelley suffered from prickly heat all
winter long. Nonetheless, these three titans of literature
never stopped writing poetry for one day.
Nor did they neglect their personal lives. Byron, a devil
with the ladies, was expelled from Oxford for dipping
Nell Gwynne's pigtails in an inkwell. (This later became
known as Guy Fawkes Day.) He left England to fight in
the Greek war of independence. He fought bravely and
well, but women were never far from his mind, as evi­denced
by these immortal lines:
How splendid it is to fight for the Greek,
But 1 don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to
chBch.
While Byron fought in Greece, Shelley stayed in Eng­land,
where he became razor sharpener to the Duke of
Gloucester. Shelley was happy in his work, as we know
from his classic poem, Hail to thee, blithe strop, but no
matter how he tried he was never able to get a proper edge
on the Duke's razor, and he was soon banished to
Coventry. (This later became known as The Industrial
Revolution.)
One wonders how Shelley's life-and the course of Eng­lish
poetry-would have differed if Personna Super Stain­less
Steel Blades had been invented 200 years earlier. For
Personna is a blade that needs no stropping, honing or
whetting. It's sharp when you get it, and sharp it stays
through shave after luxury shave. Here truly is a blade
fit for a Duke or a freshman. Moreover, this Personna,
this jewel of the blade-maker's art, this boon to the cheek
and bounty to the dewlap, comes to you both in double-edge
style and Injector style. Get some now during "Be
Kind to Your Kisser Week."
But I digress. Byron, I say, was in Greece and Shelley
in England. Meanwhile Keats went to Rome to try to
grow. Who does not remember his wistful lyric:
Although I am only five feet high,
Some day I will look in an elephant's eye.
But Keats did not grow. His friends, Shelley and Byron,
touched to the heart, rushed to Rome to stretch him. This
too failed. Then Byron, ever the ladies man, took up with
Lucrezia Borgia, Catherine of Aragon, and Annie Oakley.
Shelley, a more domestic type, stayed home with his wife
Mary and wrote his famous poem:
/ love to stay home with the missus and write,
And hug her and kiss her and give her a bite.
SV; TxxrvnWtjf
Mary Shelley finally got so tired of being bitten that
she went into another room and wrote Frankenstein.
Upon reading the manuscript, Shelley and Byron got so
scared they immediately booked passage home to Eng­land.
Keats tried to go too, but he was so small that the
clerk at the steamship office couldn't see him over the top
of the counter. So Keats remained in Rome and died of
shortness.
Byron and Shelley cried a lot and then together com­posed
this immortal epitaph:
Good old Keats, he might have been short.
But he was a great American and a heck of a good sport.
* * * ©IW8, Mux Shulninn
Truth, not poetry, is the concern of Personna, and we
tell you truly that you'll not find a better shaving com­bination
than Personna and Burma-Shave, regular or
menthol.

Reliance on 'drug kicks'
shows society's need
",Sfionmmpetthhiinnog" iiss wwrrnonntgr wwiitthh R.fifid. Ronffirfinr.fi chairman. na.in h
me and society if I need to
take any drug for kicks or
to have fun," Dr. Joe
Schoolar, associate pro­fessor
of psychiatry at
Baylor University, told an
overflow audience for the
Drug Abuse Conference in the
Union Ballroom last week.
Also addressing the con­ference
was Alvin E. Strack,
literature scientist for the
Science Information Depart­ment
of Smith, Cline & French
Laboratories. Capacity crowds
attended both lectures and
the panel discussion which
included both men. The panel
was moderated by Dr. Richard
Means, professor of health,
physical education and recre­ation.
BOTH SCHOOLAR AND
Strack are nationally recog­nized

Forum

ROTC
By RON BUCKHALT
"Compulsory ROTC?"
will be the topic for dis­cussion
at the third faculty
forum at noon Wednesday
in the Union Building ban­quet
room.
Maj. Robert Cleveland,
assistant professor of mili­tary
science, will address the
forum and present the positive
aspects of compulsory ROTC.
Dr. Thomas M. Iiams Jr, pro­fessor
of history and political
science, will present the op­posing
view to the topic, ac­cording
to Thomas Richard­son,
committee member.
"AN OPEN DISCUSSION
of the question will follow
the speeches," said James
Vickrey, chairman of the
faculty forum committee.
In an earlier statement
Vickrey said the discussion
would be very timely because
''the question of compulsory
ROTC for college students in
America is far more vital
than ever due to the war in
Vietnam."
The forum will follow pre­vious
sessions in which the
questions of "Teacher Eva­luation"
and "ACOIA-Who
Cares?" were discussed. The
topics were received with a
"good response," VicKrey
said.
FACULTY FORUMS ARE
held once a month or every
two months in an attempt to
stimulate inter-faculty dis­cussion
on local, state, re­gional
and national issues.
Reed, conference chairman
Strack and Schoolar both
stressed that the sole use of
drugs is for medical purposes
and not "for kicks."
Strack lay part of the blame
for drug dependency on phar­macists
and physicians. "Some
are not as careful as they
should be in prescribing for
occasional use," he said.
"TOO MANY PEOPLE
think that if they don't like
their situation, they can climb
into a chemical bag, but that
doesn't really make the prob­lems
go away," Strack said.
Strack told his audience of
experimental drugs which will
kill pain but not give drug
dependency and which may
make the medical use of
narcotics altogether unneces­sary.
Schoolar contrasted drug
dependency to alcoholism.
"After one drink of alcohol,
a person can still function
normally, but after taking mari­juana,
he has far less control
over his actions," Schoolar
said.
"PART OF TAKING
drugs," Schoolar said, "is
for escape, part the rebellion
of the adolescent who seeks
the affirmation of who he is."

Huns angered)
but 'cool it' J
I By John Reynolds
The Huns, a motorcycle gang in Bridgeport, Conn.,
were antagonized last weekend when a male student at
the University of Bridgeport threw a bottle from North
Hall Dormitory. Violence threatened for a while, but
quick action by the University helped maintain good
student-Hun relations.
A full-scale attack had been feared from the Huns after
the gang demanded that the guilty dorm resident be re­linquished
to them for a special punishment. To avert a
wave of violence, the University apprehended the student
and pledged to punish him in accordance with University
policy in such matters.
However, many North Hall students, skeptical as to
whether this action by the University would pacify the
Huns, vacated the dorm in panic. Some jittery residents
managed to occupy their Friday night hours of uneasiness
by almost any activity requiring them to be absent from
their rooms. Others simply packed .their suitcases for a
weekend with mom and dad.
The Huns, who had never before been trouble-makers
at the University, added suspense to the trying week by
parading around the dormitory on their motorcycles.
Though some students thought this to be a "preview of
coming attractions," their apprehensions proved to be
unjustified. The retalitory raid fizzled out.
ROBIN HOOD REFORMS
The homeless "Robin Hood" gang of Honolulu, Hawaii
lived in underbrush and dense forests until recently
while stealing in the traditional Robin Hood style. But
today they no longer rob from the rich to give to the poor.
Through the efforts of VISTA, the domestic peace
corps of primarily college students, the "Robin Hood"
gang assist the needy by operating a neighborhood center.
There, the destitute receive the helping hand of friend­ship.
HINDRANCE TO HELP
Honolulu is not the only locale where "gang kids"
are having their sinister talents replaced by beneficial
ones.
In Philadelphia, these delinquents are organizing
"neighborhood corporations." Five colleges and univer­sities
have as their objective getting the gangs off the
streets and into community service projects, both operated
by and catering to the poor.

Debate team takes
consecutive honors
Auburn debaters received top ratings in two tourna­ments
last week as they closed out the 1968 debate
tour.
Auburn speakers were designated first place speakers
in 14 of 16 rounds at the
National Novice Invita­tional
Tournament at Bel-
RM's largest session
hears of masculinity loss
larmine College in Louis­ville,
Kentucky. Both Au­burn
teams came away from
•the tournament with a 4-4 re­cord.
Mary Fisher and Lewis
Page placed in the top 20 of
300 debaters at the Delta
Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha
tournament in Washington,
D.C. They won five and lost
three debates.
"THESE TWO TOURNA-ments
marked the end of Au­burn's
most ambitious and
successful year," said debate
coach Jim Vickrey. "The
squad traveled a record 25,000
miles to attend 20 top national
and regional tournaments."
The 50 per cent win record
for the entire squad was
praised by Coach Vickrey as
being unusually good for an
overall squad mark. Coach
Vickrey expressed further
pleasure in the fact that this
year was a building year for
the team with most of its act­ive
members returning for next
year's tour. The Debate Coun­cil
maintained an active squad
of eight members with about
twice as many participating
and aiding the effort through­out
the year.
"WE'VE GAINED RECOGNI-tion
and respect as a national
debate power, and look forward
to expanding our program and
including more debaters and
tournaments. The main obs­tacle
to be overcome is finan­cing
and transportation. Ac­cess
to an official automobile
would aid in reducing the high
travel costs which presently
take up to one third of the
budget," said Vickrey.
New features in this year's
debate program include an
intramural tournament in the
fall and the awarding of scho
larships to Lewis Page and
Martha Turrittin, the first
Plainsman Invitational Debate
Tournament for inter-collegiate
debate, and the first Tiger
Cub Debate Tournament for
high school debaters.
SCHEDULED FOR SATUR-day,
May 4, the Tiger Cub
Tournament will bring over
100 high school debaters and
coaches to the Auburn campus
for the one day program. Five
rounds of debate on the inter-scholastic
debate topic on
crime will be culminated with
an awards assembly Saturday
night. Plaques will be given
to top individual speakers and
first and second place affir­mative
and negative teams
with a championship trophy
going to the best four-man
team.
By LAURA NEILL
Underneath the h a r s h,
ugly shouts of " B l a ck
Power" and "Burn, baby,
burn" and behind the de­fiant
watchword of "Free­dom
Now'' lies an almost
childlike cry of need, Dr.
William Mallard of Emory Uni­versity
said here last week.
Addressing a small, at­tentive
audience at one ses­sion
of the annual Religious
Affairs Conference, Mallard,
an associate professor of
theology, said that when an
individual listens to such slo
gans with "the third ear" he
realizes that they really mean
"Please look at me. I count. I
am important, too.'' The respon­sibility
of the church is to
meet these people's needs and
help them to be free, Mallard
said.
"THE 'NOW GENERA-tion's'
reaction to the hypo­crisy
of the older generation
has a kind of legitimacy
which can't be dismissed
lightly," Mallard asserted.
Mallard was one of four
speakers to address the three-day
conference which had
the general theme of Freedom
and Responsibility. The other
speakers were Rev. David
Buttrick, Mr. Grady Nutt, and
Rev. Earl Brill.
Buttrick, assistant pro­fessor
at the Pittsburgh Theo­logical
Seminary, discussed
the pattern of freedom in con­temporary
drama, the theatre
of the absurd in particular.

He described the drama of to­day
as an "artistic inter­pretation
of a sick society,
with freedom to cut out from
both society and transcen­dent
powers."
THE WORLD IN DRAMA
is meaningless today, he
said, because "we are post-
Christians, men who live in
the embers of a dying world
view in which no new view
has been given to sustain
us."
Nutt, assistant to ,the pre­sident
of Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary, com­bined
humor arid theology as
he spoke on the "Ring of
Freedom."
Using the movie "Ben
Hur" as an analogy, Nutt
pointed out that freedom often
is- gained only after a period
of suffering. He satirized men
who "want to be free, but are
unwilling to learn inner dis­cipline."
The second day of the con­ference
featured a preview of
"A Long Day's Journey Into
Night" by the Auburn Players.
A PANEL DISCUSSION ON
sexual new morality drew one
of the larger, crowds of the
conference. Brill and Nutt
were the panelists.
Brill commented that the
main risk of sex before mar­riage
was that of exploita­tion
by one or both partners.
Noting that the audience
consisted of many more wo­men
students than men, Nutt
said that men have become
sated with sex and are no
longer fascinated with it. He
blamed this on equality be­tween
the sexes and "too
much whipped cream" in the
form of sex-packed movies,
television shows, magazines,
and advertisements.
HE SAID THAT THERE
has been a noticeable loss
of masculinity in recent years,
with an accompanying in­crease
in male homosexuality
and lesbianism.
Both Brill and Nutt agreed
that concern for the individual
as a person was the important
factor in any relationship
whether directly Or indirectly
sexual in nature. They said
that the church lets youth
down any time it refuses to
listen and counsel in pro­blems
involving sexual be­havior.
Later, commenting on the
war in Vietnam, Brill said
"America is overextended
because we have a perverted
Messiah complex... we think
we hold all the values and
that gives us license to be
global policemen. People-nations-
should be permitted
to control their own destiny,
to make their own mistakes,
and to run their own lives."

but this was never done.
A REPRESENTATIVE OF
the President's office told
Bentley that it has been es­tablished
that the students
have no right to know how
much money is in the contin­gency
fund. He suggested that
they give the business office
a list of projects needing
money.
"This suggestion is com­pletely
irrelevant," said
Bentley. "The policy was
established two years ago of
not making special alloca­tions
of this money. We are
going to find out where this
money is going."
Big Mama's
DeWayne Morris of Birming­ham
sent a letter to Jehle's
creditors earlier this month
stating that Jehle's business
dealings had left him with a
debt of 830,566.11. The debt
was incurred to 68 creditors.
The letter did not say if the
debt was incurred just at Big
Mama's.
Jehle a d v e r t i s e d as a
franchise of the Mrs. Todd's
restaurant chain, but Jesse
Todd, owner of the c h a in
said Jehle only had a slight
connection with Mrs. Todd's.
"We leased him the name
of Big Mama's, loaned him a
chicken fryer and sent him
a cookbook, but that's the
only connection we have With
him," Todd said. "I'd like
to get my chicken fryer back,"
he said.
Jehle would not say why he
closed business so suddenly,
but his lawyer said Jehle did
not know he was going out of
business until the last few
days he was in operation.
"He did tell me he was
not going to sell meal tickets
though," he said.
"I advise the students to
check with their banks, and
they will see that the checks
have not gone through,"
Jehle said.

and "Do you favor honor code
revision?" 2,178 students said

The foreign student searches for his 'place'
By John Reynolds
"Alabama ho mut jayoo! Yoo khaiab jagaha hai. Ala­bama
marow!"
The preceding is not nonsense verse but is Urdu, a
language spoken by many Indian students at Auburn.
Translated, it means, "Don't go to Alabama! Alabama
is a bad place."
In many distant nations, foreign students intent on an
Auburn education are warned of wide-spread'racial hatred
in the |southern United States. Their newspapers have
.splashed such headlines on the front page as "Negroes
riot in Birmingham." Relatively little is'said about North­ern
racial tensions.
Envisaging a place where "no one will even speak to
you," many foreign students are pleased to find just the
opposite conditions exist in Auburn-or so they say.
A view taken by Waldir Pedersoli, a physiology pro­fessor
from Brazil, was an almost standard reflection on
Auburn by foreigners. In South America, he related, the
South has "a very bad reputation," a reason for so few
students here from neighboring countries. Having attend­ed
universities in Illinois and New York, Pedersoli dread­ed
coming to Alabama. Yet after being in Auburn for a
while he was "pleasantly surprised" to find all his fears
of racial prejudice here completely unfounded.
When questioned about their opinion of Auburn, these
students usually reply with one inevitable expression.
Prakash Rai from Hyderbad, India set forth this almost
standard view of Auburn from non-Americans. ' 'Auburn is
a nice, warm and friendly place. I like it here."
Before departing from India for the United States, Rai
was saturated with newspaper accounts of racial distur­bances
in Alabama and Mississippi. But since then he
has formulated a contrasting attitude. " .. .Having lived
'here for two years," he said, "I don't regret the decision
of having come."
There is, however, a subtle hint from the 138 foreign­ers
that behind the "good" are traces of "bad" in our
social system.
lack of communications
Of 35Chinese, Arabians, Indians, Latin Americans and
others interviewed 15 foreign students did pinpoint Au­burn's
shortcomings in dealing with foreigners as well as
areas in international affairs. They contend there is too
little association between foreign and American students.
Dating is a definite problem for all except three who
replied. Some of the Indian and Chinese men said they
never date, while others are invariably "given the shaft"
after one evening with an American coed. Dating is
further complicated by the fact there are only about 10
single foreign women on campus.
Three-fourths of the foreigners canvassed were out­spoken
in their desire for an international house where
they could room with Americans. Many also said the Uni­versity
should sponsor dances and other social functions
where they and Americans might become better acquaint­ed.
Further constructive criticism of Auburn was offered
by Munir Ayoubi who transferred to Auburn last year from
the University of Florida. The Lebanese student des­cribed
Auburn students as being "too stuck up." Although
Ihe said he has numerous American friends, he contended
that the University of Florida campus has a much more
international atmosphere than Auburn. "This town is not
international, period!"
Avoided by Auburn girls
Ayoubi, who is married to an American from the Uni­versity
of Florida, asserted that Auburn girls, in general,
seem to "avoid" foreign students as much as possible.
Estimating the number of foreign students at the Univer­sity
of Florida to be 1,000, he said the president of the
university arranges periodic meetings with international
students. The University of Florida also has an interna­tional
house, which to his dismay Auburn lacks.
"Aside from dating, all relationships between Ameri­can
and foreign students at the University of Florida are
better," he continued.
Ayoubi is satisfied with Auburn's academic atmosphere,
but he considers University of Florida students to be
more "open minded" than Auburn Americans.
"Most Auburn foreign students feel as I do, but are
not as frank as I am," Ayoubi concluded.
Comparing the foreign student's situation here to a
woman's striving to become a successful politician, Dr.
Paremeswaran Nayar from Kerala, India declared that in
order to be accepted the foreign student must be "ex-beptionaland
not just average." Nayar, a visiting history
professor, expanded upon this in depicting many foreign­ers
as having a vague feeling of "racial inferiority" when
in contact with Southerners, although he added that "none
somplain of their treatment" while at Auburn.
The insecure sensation, said Nayar, is the outcome of
Western domination o
