Federal court holds
capital branch fate
Establishment of branch called
'attempt to continue segregation'
By DAVID HOUSEL
Managing Editor
The fate of Auburn's Montgomery branch is in the
hands of a Federal Court.
Auburn's first branch came under a law suit in the
United States Fifth District Court Middle District of
Alabama last Wednesday
when the Alabama State
Teachers Association
(ASTA), a predominately
Negro group, filed suit
claiming the establishment of
the Auburn branch was an at-
£ tempt by the State of Alabama
to continue segregation.
OPENS THIS FALL
Auburn officials have made
plans to hold classes in the
capital city this fall, and a
500-acre plot of land has been
selected for construction of
buildings.
Stressing that the case was
on an issue, and not against
Auburn, Joe Reed, ASTA exe­cutive
secretary, said an Au­burn
branch would "psycholo­gically
damage Negroes in the
Montgomery area."

Philpott to address
winter graduates
Dr. Harry M. Philpott will address graduates March 14
in exercises beginning at 2:30 p.m. in the Student Acti­vities
Building.
This will be the second commencement exercise that
Dr. Philpott has addressed
since coming to Auburn in
1965.
Dr. Philpott, an ordained
Baptist minister as well as a
distinguished educator, came
to Auburn after serving seven
and a half years as vice-presi­dent
of the University of Flo­rida.
A native of Bassett, Va.,
Dr. Philpott was graduated
cum laude from Washington
and Lee University in 1938
with a bachelor of arts degree.
He received the doctor of
philosophy degree from Yale
in 1947. Dr. Philpott's major
was religion in higher educa­tion
with extensive work in

of Alabama State College, a
four-year school already in
Montgomery?" Reed asked.,
"Building a new college
here suggests that Alabama
State is fit only for Negroes
and can not do the job that is
needed. If that is the case,
why not upgrade Alabama
State instead of building a
new school?" Reed continued.
"The only thing wrong with
Alabama State is its predomi­nately
Negro situation," Reed
said.
REED CONTENDS
Reed, who is the sixth
district candidate to the
National Democratic Conven­tion,
contends that an Auburn
ibranch would keep white stu­dents
from attending Alabama
State and thereby further seg­regation.
Pres. Harry M. Philpott de­clined
comment on the suit
but a University spokesman
said, "Segregation or inte­gration
is not the issue.
"We are under a court order
to admit any qualified Negro
and we will follow the same
procedure at Montgomery.
"LSU and Southern Univer­sity,
a predominately Negro
college are both located in
Baton Rouge, La." the
spokesman said, "and both
recently opened branches in
New Orleans where there
were at least four other col­leges
already. University
branches are nothing new.
"We hope that our presence
in Montgomery will help the
area's entire educational si­tuation.
We plan to work
closely with Alabama State
as well as other schools in
the area," the spdkesman
concluded.
WATKINS COMMENTS
Dr. Levi Watkins, president
of Alabama State, said,"Ala­bama
State is involved in the
case only as a reference. No
one can say for sure that an
Auburn branch in Montgomery
would perpetuate segregation.
Auburn just might want to
expand."
Auburn was first approach­ed
about Montgomery opera­tions
last spring when the
University of Alabama decid­ed
to discontinue its exten­sion
center in the capital
city.
President Philpott has
stated Auburn would be ready
and willing to provide the
educational services if Mont­gomery
wanted the services
and the legislature would pro­vide
sufficient funds.

5,000 pint goal set
for spring blood drive
A goal of 5,000 pints has
been set for the third annual
spring blood drive, accord­ing
to Joe Busta chairman
of the blood drive commit­tee.
This goal, if successfully
reached, would break the
national record of 4,812 pints
which was set by Auburn last
April.
The drive will run from 1-7
p.m. on April 2 and 3 and from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 4.
Auburn has been chosen to
receive the George Washing­ton
Honor Medal by the Free­dom

last year's record.
The University has also
received recognition from
President Johnson, Vice-
President Humphrey, General
Westmoreland, commanding
general in Vietnam and other
national and military leaders
for its world record.
The blood collected in the
April 2-4 drive will be used
in two ways. "First, it will

A recent sampling of
student opinion on the
library reveals that most
library facilities and pro­cedures
are considered
"satisfactory" or excel­lent."
The results of an eval­uation
questionnaire which
was prepared, distributed and
compiled by the student body
library committee were pre­sented
to the student senate
Monday night.
Approximately 375 students
answered the questionnaire
which was distributed in se­lected
c l a s s e s and in the
library.
Weekday opening and clos­ing
hours, check-out pro­cedures,
attitude of library
personnel, study conditions
and availability of study space
were considered satisfactory
or excellent by more than 70
per cent of the students an­swering
the questionnaire.
WEEKEND HOURS
Weekend opening and clos­ing
hours was the only cate­gory
which was clearly con­sidered
unsatisfactory by the
students sampled.
The questionnaire shows
that several areas of the lib­rary
are not used by more
than 50 per cent of the stu­dents
sampled. These in­clude
the Special Collections
Room, the Listening Rooms
and the Smoking Rooms.
(See Related Story, Page 9)
Slightly over 55 per cent
of the students sampled term­ed
the selection of daily pap­ers,
space available for re­laxation
and the extra ser­vices
such as xerox machines
offered by the library satis­factory
or excellent.
Students questioned were
also asked to indicate the
most pleasing and most irri­tating
features of the library.
The three most pleasing
features were found to be the
study conditions, study space
and the physical surround­ings
available in the library.
IRRITATING FEATURES
The three most irritating
features listed were the ab­sence
of vending machines,
the fine rate and the weekend
hours.
Opinion was split on the
availability and selection of
books, microfilm and period­icals
for reading or research
in the students particular
area of study. "This would
indicate thati the library is
adequate in some fields but
inadequate in others," said
Jimmy Bryan, library commit­tee
chairman.
The effectiveness of the
course in the "Use of the
Library" came under sharp
criticism from more than 50
per cent of the students an­swering
the questionnaire.
COURSE "USELESS"
"The course in use of the
library is just about use­less,"
said one student.
Bryan reported that results
from a similiar sampling of
faculty opinion were not yet
available.

Israeli consul claims
Soviets aiding Arabs
in rebuilding armies
By LYN SCARBROUGH
Assistant Editor
Israeli consul in New
York Michael Arnon has
claimed Arab states are
"rebuilding their armies
and organizing acts of
terror and sabotage."
In the eight months
since the Middle East war,
Arab armies have been re­furnished
"at a phenomenal
rate with Soviet arms and
under Soviet guidance,"
Arnon said.
"Arab states have chosen
to devote a major share of
their money, energy and
effort in a futile and
counter-productive warfare
against Israel," Arnon
said. "It is a tragedy that
our Arab neighbors have
not found it possible to
employ its vast resources
for the betterment of the
region and its people."
"Israel is the one sover­eignty
in the world which
is literally threatened with
annihilation day in and day
out," Arnon said
He said this situation
has been caused by Arab
refusal to accept the "in­ternational
verdict" of the
United Nations which re­established
Israel as a
nation on Nov. 29. 1947.
Arnon said Arab and Rus­sian
attempts to brand Is­rael
as an aggressor and
attain an unilateral Israeli
withdrawal are "bizarre
concepts."
Three conditions were
given as "crucial" to the
prospects of peace. Arnon
said Israel's defensive
capacity must be maintained
and strengthened; outside
intervention can not be to­lerated,
and the internation­al
community must insist
upon direct negotiations
and peace treaties as solu­tions
to the problems.
He said free passage for
Israeli ships through the
Suez Canal and the Straits
of Tiran must be "an inte­gral
part" of any agree­ments.
Arnon claimed Arab con­cern
for refugees was actu­ally
an open attempt to
create conditions under
which these people could
be sent into Israel to '' over­throw
the country from with­in."
He said the Arab
governments have treated
the refugees "as pariahs to
be maintained on charity of
the international community
and held up as a public re­lations
weapon against
us."
He said that after Arab
CONSUL ARNON DEFENDS ISRAELI POSITION
Dr. Thomas Hams, right, Listens At Discussion Group
Summits of 1964 and 1965,
all Arab nations except
Syria opposed an immediate
renewal of war against Is­rael.
A "commando war"
was started at the begin­ning
of 1965 against Israel
by Syria, he said.
At the beginning of June
1967 Arnon said "a noose
had been placed around Is­rael's
neck and a state of
war was in being." He said
pacts had been signed at
that time by Arab states
and Israel was virtually
surrounded by armies from
most Arabian nations.
Arnon questioned
on Israel's views
by Arab students
Israeli consul Michael Ar­non
faced a heated question
and answer period following
his prepared speech Thursday
morning.
Several Arab students
sprinkled throughout the front
portion of the crowd question­ed
Israel's charges and poli­cies
in the Middle East crisis.
After each answer came ano­ther
pointed question.
When Arnon was accused of
not answering Arab students
questions, he asked introducer
Larry Menefee to recognize
questioners from the floor.
But this did not end the
small Middle Eastern "dis­pute."
It erupted again at an
afternoon discussion session
in the Alpha Omicron Pi chap­ter
room when students from
Jordan and Egypt came to
question Arnon.
In answer to pointed ques­tions,
the consul denied exis-tance
of "concentration
camps" for Arab refugees in
Israel. He claimed that, the
real problem in the Middle
East dispute is unwillingness
of Arab nations to recognize
Israel as a free and indepen­dent
state.
Questioning again grew
heated.Discussions moderator
Dr. Thomas Iiams of the Au­burn
History Department had
to demand order and recognize
questioners, rather than allow
them to ask informally from
the floor.
Students, state press
enthused over ACOIA
By ROT RILEY
Assistant Managing Editor
The Auburn Conference on International Affairs is
over, yet students still discuss speakers, speeches and
other aspects of the annual conference.
"This year, the excitement of the conference lingers
and students are still discussing the speeches," said
Sam Phillips, ACOIA chairman. "This is something we
have been trying to accomplish for several years.
"We feel that the conference this year has provided
incentive for more study of human rights.
We had hoped to change the nature of
the conference from an information bu­reau
to something that would motivate
students to delve into these issues,"
he said.
Members of the state press were high
in their praise of the conference and one
writer, Milo Dakin of the Montgomery
Advertiser wrote," It was a profession­al
and well co-ordinated job from everyone involved,
even though speakers came from far away and the pro­grams
were on a tight schedule."
"Any college or university could consider itself for­tunate
to have the likes of U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield,
or Negro leader Whitney Young, or the Syrian ambassa­dor
to the U.S. and the Israeli consul to New York. Au­burn
had them all and more." he said.
"We were pleased with our banquets and luncheons,"
he said. "Students got some straight forward answers
and got closer contact with the speakers. We hope this
will be expanded next year."
"We tried to add some controversy to the program this
year, and we feel like that accounted, in part, for the
success. I'm hoping the same will be done in years *.?.

Arabs unheard,
Tomeh declares
By BOB PAYNE
There are two sides to every question,
and "the Arab point of view in the Middle
East conflict has been neglected," said
George J. Tomeh, Syrian ambassador to
the United Nations in a speech to the Au­burn
Conference on International Affairs.
"The American press is so overwhelm­ingly
pro-Zionist that few Americans have
seen the Arab side,"
Tomeh said as he dis­cussed
one of the most
explosive areas of the
world-the Middle East.
He cited the Arab refugee
problem as one of the
^fg/F'A | most important problems
• 7 ^ lin the Arab-Israeli con-
W MM I flict.
^ • • ^ ^ H W "The conflict is not a
PAYNE question of anti-Semi­tism,"
he said. "The Jews have lived on
good terms with the Arabs throughout his­tory.
But now, Arabs, the original inhabi­tants
of Palestine, are being driven from
their homeland."
Tomeh said that in 1917, 95 per cent of
the population of Palestine was Arabic,
and the Jews owned only 5 per cent of
the land. "Today the Arabs have been re­duced
to a group of homeless refugees...
one and one-half million of them scattered
throughout the Arab world."
Speaking to the three-day conference on
human rights, Dr. Tomeh-one of the chief
Arab spokesmen in the UN debates-pre­sented
the Arab view of the conflict.
"Since 1939 the story of Palestine," he
said, "has been the story of Arabs re­volting
against an alien minority coming
from the outside."
Tomeh quoted from a press interview
with Israeli General Moshe Dayan, "It is
not in accord with Israel's aims to absorb
the Arabs into our culture." The Israelis,
he said, "absolutely want a Jewish state
as Jewish as the French want a French
state."
ZIONIST PHILOSOPHY
The Zionist philosophy, according to
Tomeh, is based on the mistaken idea that
because the Israelis once occupied Pale­stine,
the Jewish people should own it
now. "This is illegal," said Tomeh. "and
the country of Israel should never have
been established," he said, referring to
the United Nations partition resolution of
1947.
In discussing the six-day Arab-Israeli
war of 1967, Tomeh said that Israel initi­ated
the hostilities by harassing Arab
farmers in the de-militarized zone on the
west bank of the Jordan River.
"The Israelis have asked the Arabs tc
compromise their position, but what com­promises
can the Arabs make?" he asked.
"The Zionists started with nothing, and
now they have everything.
"There can be no negotiations until
the captured territories are returned and
the Arab refugees are repatriated in Pale­stine,"
he said.
"Certainly, we look for peace," Tomeh
concluded, "the Arab states cannot be
undertakers to bury the Arab people of
Palestine. But this does not mean we
will accept subjugation or surrender. Un­less
the rights of the Arab people of Pale­stine
are guaranteed and respected and
unless the UN Security Council recom­mendations
are implemented, there will
be no peace."
AVOID RESPONSIBILITIES
At a discussion session Thursday
afternoon, Tomeh said that Israel's de­mands
for negotiation stem from her desire
to avoid the responsibilities placed on her
by the UN charter. "The question could
be submitted to conciliation, UN arbit­ration
or the International Court of Jus­tice,
but the Israelis demand negotiation
to force the Arab nations to recognize the
illegally-created Jewish state," he said.
"It is true that the Arab states are
accepting military supplies from communist
c o u n t r i e s , " Tomeh said. "The Arab
nations must defend themselves from
Israeli aggression, and the United States
refuses to supply them with arms."
"But the Arab countries are not going
communist," he said. "Communist parties
are outlawed in Arab nations; can Israel
say this?" The basic concept of Arab
development," Tomeh finished, "is
Arab nationalism."
Lehmann, Mulgruc
open conference
By JOE LEHMAN
A theologian and a food and population expert opened
the tenth annual Auburn Conference on International Af­fairs
Feb.21.
Dr. Paul Lehmann, professor of systematic theology at
Union Theological Seminary, New York, keynoted ACOIA
as he spoke on "The Church's Role in the Human Rights
Struggle."
George Mulgrue, information liaison officer of the
United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, fol­lowed
Lehmann with a speech on the "Third World," the
world revolving around the current food and population
crisis.
"Human rights are easy to claim, hard to identify and
even harder to practice," said Lehmann. "We believe in
human rights but are not clear about the right by which
we believe in human rights."
The church's role in the struggle for human rights is
found at two levels, the intellectual and the institutional,
according to Lehmann.
Concern for life, the lives of the three million people
who starve each year, was also expressed by Mulgrue in
the second address of the conference.
Emphasizing that there is no time to wait for "labora­tory
miracles," Mulgrue offered two ways to improve the
present situation. The first is to stop wasting available
food, and the second is to produce more with the re­sources
at hand.
One-tenth of the world's food is lost in storage, and
another one-tenth is destroyed by insects, diseases and
viruses. "We must combat this wastage if we are to feed
the 190,000 new mouths that arrive for breakfast each
morning, not to mention the people who didn't eat the
night before," said Mulgrue.
Mulgrue urged expanded training programs for food-producers.
He said, "Give a man a fish and you feed him
for today, teach him how to fish and you feed him for
tomorrow."

No effort underway
for vice-presidency
There is no active effort underway to secure the
Republican vice-presidential nomination for Sen.
Mark Hatfield, according to an aide who accompanied
the senator to Auburn last week. Hatfield's name has
been mentioned on several occasions as a possible
running mate for the Republican presidential nomi­nee.
"To get the vice-presidential nomination, you
have to be invited," said the assistant. "We haven't
been invited yet."
ROCKEFELLER-HATFIELD POSSIBLE
The assistant said he did not believe the Senator
would accept second place on the ticket with Nixon,
Reagan or Romney. He responded more favorably when
asked about the possibility of a Rockefeller-Hatfield
ticket.
'1 - - i Senator Hatfield said' he saw little likelihood that/tl$FjCj;.
Republican party would adopt his views orrVieth'am. Th^"";
statement came in response to a question from the audi­ence
following his address.
He had previously told The Plainsman that former
Governor Wallace's candidacy makes it imperative that
the Republicans put up a "peace" candidate for presi­dent.
CHOICE FROM TRUE CONVICTION
"I would like to see my party make this choice from true
conviction, not for political expediency alone," Hatfield
said. "The mathematics of the election make victory (for
the Republicans) impossible without offering a choice
on the Vietnam issue."
Hatfield also believes Nixon to be the leading GOP
candidate at this time. He admits that Rockefeller could
get the nomination if he gets a sizable vote in the Oregon
primary.

all decisions should be in the
hands of the Johnson adminis­tration
is a myth. He termed

law," Hatfield said. "There
is no place to deliberately
disobey, no matter how bad
the law may be."
He opposed the concept of
the military draft system as
"unethical and unfair." He
said graduate deferments
should be continued for stu­dents
in all curriculums in
addition to science and engi­neering
as is now planned by
the Selective Service System.
The plan to draft graduate
students is "undermining in­stitutions
of higher learning,"
he said.

"Too few of us see the great potential in diversity.
They take integration like castor oil,"
Young said. "They say they will take it,
but they aren't going to like it."
Young pointed out the contributions
members of ethnic groups other than
white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant have
made to our culture. "People have been
denied an opportunity to develop their
potentialities," he said. "The world
has lost much due to our inability to see below skin
level.
"America's prestige rests on what happens to her
Negroes," said Young. "If the free enterprise system
can't help the Negro, that system will fail." He said that
foreign nations will not accept a system that is unable
to help all of the population.
Young said that the protest movement in civil rights
was not "invented" by the Negro, but he saw the suc­cess
of this type action in the labor movement and for
woman suffrage.
"The Negro has seen the statues of the pioneers of
civil disobedience in Boston," Young said. "Naturally
he sees the same means to gain his rights."

were filled with "Negroes riot" last summer. But when
nearly 40 persons were shot at the-University of Texas
and eight nurses were killed in Chicago, it wasn't
"white men" who did this.
"These men were 'sick.' The Negro race is entitled
to its nuts, too," said Young.
"Prejudice is not so deep seated that it cannot be
overcome," he said. He told of a white Mississipian in
Vietnam relying on a Negro sergeant for protection.
"We must live together as brothers or die as fools,"
he said.
At a luncheon held after his speech Young said that a
Rockefeller-Reagan ticket would probably attract 30-35
per cent of the Negro vote. Such a ticket would force
LBJ to comepte for the Negro vote and result in more
campaign promises by both sides.
"But the Republicans have a genius for flubbing it
and will probably nominate Nixon," said Young.
The rioting in America's cities is caused by the social
and economic conditions on the Negro. He said that the
rioting could be stopped by letting the Negro know there
is a possibility of victory under a careful schedule.

"If China feels that the United
States forces in Vietnam are threats to
the security of the Chinese mainland,
she will get into the conflict," said
John Stoessinger, p o l i t i c a l affairs
director of the United Nations.
"That's the reason China got in the
Korean War," he continued as he spoke to
the Auburn Conference on International
Affairs last week.
"How would you feel if China were
fighting in Mexico," he asked, "and began
bombing raids only minutes from the Texas
border, or the Alabama border?"
"You'd get a little excited, I'm sure.
"That'sthe situation in which theChinese
find themsfelves right now," he said.
AMERICANS MUST UNDERSTAND
Stoessinger said Americans must try to
understand China's problems before making
criticism.
"Sure China is h o s t i l e towards the
West," he continued, "but the West is to
blame."
Stoessinger cited the opium trade of the
1830's with England as an example,
"One million Chinese became opium
addicts by 1830, and the Chinese govern­ment
stopped trade with England," he
said. "The English ships continued to
come, and when the ships were raided and
the opium thrown into the sea, the English
sailors began taking buildings as payment.
"This became widespread when other
countries began doing the same thing. By
1850, seven foreign powers held as much
as 400 miles of Chinese lands."
There were other rebellions in which,
according to Stoessinger, the foreign
nations attempted to take over Chinese
possessions.
"The Chinese used to think they were
the center of the world," he said. "Now
they realize they are not, but they are
striving to get back to that position.
"The China of today resulted from in­tellectual
curiosity that developed when
they began studying the ways of the
West," Stoessinger continued. "They
sent students to other countries to study,,
and once the movement got started, there
was no way to stop it."
COMMUNIST SPLIT 'REAL'
He said the split between the com­munists
in China and Russia is real.
"China fears Russia more than they
fear the United States," he said. "The
ten-year alliance they had was an uneasy
marriage of convenience. It was formed
to kill the West, and when the West was
kicked out of China in 1959 and 1960,
there was no need for the alliance.''

A guerilla war will break out in South
Africa unless the apartheid system is
altered to relieve the oppression of the
non-white majority, according to the exe­cutive
director of the American Committee
on Africa.
The United States has interests in this
area and must take action if we hope to
maintain good relations with the African
continent. He said that the attitude of the
black minority on the necessity of vio­lence
has changed, and they will accept
aid from whoever offers it.
George M. Houser gave these warnings
in an address to the Auburn Conference On
International Affairs last Thursday. The
2 p.m. address was the sixth in a three
day series of talks by noted speakers
centered around the topic of human rights.
Houser explained that the apartheid is
a system of strict separation of the races
and literally means "apart-hood." The
term popularly means the development of
separate cultures for each racial group.
NO AFRICAN POLITICAL SYSTEM
"In a practical sense, apartheid means
no African political system, no trade
unions for the blacks and no means of
legal relief in the constitution! for the
grievances of the majority group,''< Houser
said.
"The U.S. should be involved in this
area because of the injustices committed,
the human rights violated. These are the
concern of a democratic society," he said.
He described the apartheid system of
South Africa in which non-whites are
restricted to the reserved area of Transkei.
Residents of this area are not allowed to
leave without a governmental permit and
face arrest for doing so. This permit must
be renewed every few days. Over 5,000,000
arrests are made yearly for violation of the
"pass laws."
WHITE POLITICAL POWER
All political power rests in the white
capital of Pretoria. This government may
veto legislation of the Transkei area.
There is no means of obtaining legal relief
of grievances in the constitution. "Re­volution
is the only way," said Houser.
"Guerilla forces are now in training and
ithey will take aid where they can get
it," said Houser. "When a revolution
breaks out, the U.S. will probably accuse
the rebels of being communist since they
will be getting their equipment from the
Reds. It will be a racialconflict however,"
During the question and answer session
Houser said that the aims of the violence
will not be to drive whites out of Africa
but to obtain freedom for the non-whites
in a multi-racial society.

The Montgomery branch controversy
The car descended from the Chattahoochee
River bridge into downtown Columbus and
hurried on toward the airport. Bouncing a little as we crossed
an intersection, Whitney Young continued his answer to a
question about corruption in American government.
Four college students were enjoying a personal interview
with the executive director of
We have often been amazed by the
reasoning of the Alabama Legislature
in matters concerning higher education
in this state. The proposed establish­ment
of a completely new branch cam­pus
of Auburn University in Montgo­mery
has been an occasion for such
wonder.
The question which has bothered
besides Alabama State to attend if the
Auburn branch is built. And, further,
we do not doubt that some people in
Montgomery believe that the Auburn
branch will eventually absorb Ala­bama
State.
However, we do believe we can say
accurately that the administration of
this University does not intend to
us is: why should the state invest five further segregation. After all, the idea
million dollars in the construction of
an Auburn Montgomery branch when
every state-supported institution in
Alabama is, presently, so painfully
under-financed? We do not, of course,
mean to suggest that the state should
not expand facilities for higher educa­tion
in Alabama. The Plainsman mere­ly
believes that there is good reason
to ask whether, at present, the five
million dollars might not have been
more wisely invested in existing insti­tutions-
including Auburn University
at Auburn.
Now, the Alabama State Teachers
Association (see story page 1) con­tends
in a federal court suit that the
Montgomery branch is being built for
the purpose of furthering segregation
originated in Montgomery, not here.
Auburn is under a federal injunction
prohibiting racial discrimination and
The Plainsman has no reason to sus­pect
that the administration intends to
violate that injunction.
Further, Pres. Harry M. Philpott
has assured colleges in the area that
Auburn intends to avoid competition
with existing colleges there.
"Those of us at Auburn," he has said,
"plan to work with all existing col­leges
in the area to insure that each
institution, in the light of its own
purpose and function, makes a maxi­mum
contribution to the educational
progress of Montgomery," Auburn does
not intend to swallow Alabama State
whole.
HliSmMmt^^ilWfah' rfffo *?fl>°'"fc we doubt ^ - ^ - r -
ly in Montgomery which already has of constructing the five million dollar
the Urban League on the way
to his next flight, and the
next appointment, after his
address to the Auburn Con­ference
on International Af­fairs.
"Have you read Lincoln
Steffens' autobiography?" he
asked. None of us had, so he
elaborated.
Young pointed out that
Steffens, well-known "muck-raker"
journalist in the early
part of this century, had been
disillusioned by the shady
maneuverings in government
in his time, particularly in the
cities. Steffens decried boss-ism,
at first, as the root of
the evil. In the end, however,
said Young,Steffens develop­ed
a respect for the political
bosses who made the system
work, tainted though they
often were. And Young implied
that perhaps this corruption,
undesirable though it is,
might be an unavoidable, if
not necessary, ingredient in
many instances even today.
He gave examples-such as,
the toughest neighborhoods in
some U.S. cities. In some of
these areas, the policeman,
who knows all the hoods,
crooks, and their methods-and
knows them well-can
keep reasonable order. He
may, in the process, have
some shady connections him­self.
But, often, this police­man
can keep a district safer
and more orderly than a re­placement
who might be to­tally
uncompromising.
His basic point was that
sometimes one must take the
evil with the good in order to
get the most good for the most
people. There are varying
shades of gray everywhere in
politics; the problem is to
up in a town which was eco­nomically
dependent upon a
Negro college. My father was
president of that college, so I
was seldom deprived of any­thing
and very rarely experi­enced
any abuse from the
white community. I never
learned to hate the white man
like, they (Carmichael and
Brown) did."
In their places and with
their backgrounds, he might
be doing the same things. He
is grateful for his good for­tune,
and here his humility is
most appealing.
He has a preference for
tangible realities-jobs, higher
pay, better opportunities for
advancement within the sys-tem-
rather than wide-eyed
ideologies offering dangerous
schemes with little assurance
of valuable results.
And this calculating realism
cuts through niceties to the
heart of a matter, as his
references to Auburn and inte­gration
indicated. For ex­ample,
although, he believes
John Kennedy made a great
contribution by bringing new
respectability and prestige
to the public service, he
would pick Lyndon Johnson
over Kennedy because John­son
has done more for the
Negro and civil rights. He
sees that Johnson has a pub­lic
relations problem, but he
believes that history will do
a great injustice if it over­looks
J o h n s o n ' s contribu­tions.
"If he didn't have the
war," believes Young, John-.
son would be almost unbeat-able-
in the up-coming elect­ion
or in the history books.
In the midst of the imper­sonal
talk about politics and
his work was one question
three four-year colleges. Association
spokesman Joe Reed is demanding
that the federal court block construct­ion
of the branch on this basis.
The Plainsman cannot speak
for officials in the State Capitol
or in Montgomery City Hall; we do
not doubt that somewhere in the plan­ning,
there has been the thought that
white students would have a state-supported
institution in Montgomery
facility now and although we can un­derstand
the fears of the Alabama
State Teachers Association, we believe
that those fears are exaggerated in
light of Pres. Philpott's statementsand
the existing federal court injunction.
Further, we do not believe there
exists genuine legal basis for block­ing
the construction of the campus for
the reasons listed in the suit now
pending in federal court.

The Plainsman investigated The
Courier's status yesterday by tele­phone.
Apparently, enough money has
been raised since the publication of
The Times article to maintain The
Courier until June. But after that,
Editor Michael Lottman is not sure
what is next for the paper.
The Plainsman has no reaction pro
or con to the news that The Courier
may close up shop. We have had no
quarrel with the paper; indeed, we
have had only limited contact with it.
We have generally found ourselves on
the same side of the civil rights fence
with The Courier.
We have merely this observation.
Courier Editor Lottman reported
that he and other staff members from
outside the state had expected, much
hostility, perhaps even violence, when
they came. They had expected the
racial situation in Alabama to be much
worse than they have found it to be.
They expected to encounter great dif­ficulty
in getting The Courier publish­ed.
Very few of their pessimistic ex­pectations
have been realized, and
although they may find the political
situation in Alabama a little less
than desirable, as The Plainsman
does, they nevertheless know now

called a success if it closed shop

good of men-all men.
And, with these remarks,
the picture of a very sophisti-cated
Negro leader-well
versed in the inside subtleties
of politics and big business-comes
into sharper focus.
Young rejects the more ex­treme,
hate-oriented view­point
voiced by some other
spokesmen for the Negro-as
he indicated during his visit
to Auburn. And he is sure he
can get more for the Negro on
the inside than Adam Clayton
Powell can get sitting at the
end of a bar in Bimini or
Stokely Carmichael and H.
Rap Brown can get through
violence.
He doesn't have any illu­sions
about the American si­tuation.
He understands the
Carmichaels and the Browns.
"They had fewer advan­tages
than I did. I was brought
ences toan understanding and
intelligent wife and family
was the statement, "Never
take yourself too seriously."
And he left us with an
example of his remarkable
sense of humor-predicting
future political developments.
"In 1972," he predicted,
"after the Republicans have
lost three times in a row, they
are going to look for some­thing
different. They may very
well have a Negro on the
ticket. Brooke might be the
man. Then the Democrats
would have to keep up, and I
figure they might have to ask
me," he said and then broke
into warm, easy laughter.
But after his performance
on the Auburn campus, he
might have won over some
Black Belters and that's a
political trick which not many
national politicians would
laugh at.

A final word on ACOIA
We have a final comment on the 1968
Auburn Conference on International
Affairs. Congratulations to the Chair­man
Sam Phillips and his committee
for putting together the most provo­cative,
most interesting, and most
informative ACOIA in Auburn history.
Speaker John Stoessinger, United
Natidns political affairs director, sum­med
the effect of the conference in one
sentence at the close of his lecture
on China: "If I've got you confused,
that's good; that's right where I want
you." The conference did indeed stir
some confusion and doubt among those
who attended. Accepted ideas on se­veral
issues of major contemporary
significance-the Vietnam War., race
relations, and the Middle-East-were
challenged under the conference theme,
"The International Year for Human
Rights."
As a past conference chairman ob­served,
ACOIA is finally "over the
hump." After 10 years of struggling
to build a reputation, the conference
has arrived. Every conference chair­man
and every committee member
since the beginning of ACOIA can be
justly proud, because each contri­buted
in varying degrees to this year's
success.

Economic
South's industry pirating
can work both ways
By Roy Summerford
The thing that has contributed most to
the industrial development of the South in
recent years now threatens the economic survival of some
Southern communities.
For years the South, particularly Alabama, has been luring
industry away from industrial sections of the country with
the promise of cheap labor wiU e o n .
and few worker protection ^ economical.
laws. Although ethically
wrong, it was deemed neces­sary
fortheeconomic survival
of the region. Cheap wages
are better than no wages.
But what happens when the
people wake up and find that
they are doing the same type
work and usually more of it
for considerably lower wages
than employees of similar
companies in other sections
of the country. They begin to
wonder if they are being
taken advantage of; if the
company is really as benevo­lent
as it seems. One thing
leads to another, and they
strike for better working con­ditions
and higher' wages.
Recently in one Alabama
community this has led to
the threatened relocation of
a company.
True, some unions do strike
continuously and do some­times
bankrupt a company. But
this seldom occurs in the
South where workers develop
closer ties with their employ­ers.
Southern workers are
generally more loyal and more
grateful to their company than
to a union. Therefore South­ern
companies are not so
seriously threatened by
strikes as some Northern and
Midwestern companies.
But the very thing that has
helped the most to industria­lize
the South could now des­troy
it if state legislatures do
not act. Alabama thought it
was getting permanent indus­try.
But the type industry
this state has been attracting
will remain only as long as
cheap labor, the state's chief
bargaining power, remains
cheap. With their home offices
in New York, the companies
are able to move to greener
pastures anytime their profits
are threatened by demands
for higher wages.
Without legislation to pro­tect
employees and communi­ties,
Alabama stands to lose
much of the industry it has
attracted in the last 25 years.
Either that, or due to low
wages and a lower standard
ly in comparison to other
states.
It will do little good to
attract industry with the pro­mise
of cheap labor in abun­dance
if the industry is able
to blackmail the community
with the threat that it will
move again if the workers ask
for wages on a scale with
other regions. These nomad
companies will continue to
move as long as it is advan­tageous
to do so.
Often the company itself
can move at very little ex­pense,
for it can quite easily
find, another community will­ing
to finance factory build­ings.
But this places a tre­mendous
hardship on the com­munity
which formerly housed
the factory and must find
another industry or perish.
Also it is not easy for any
community to finance the
buildings many companies
require.
There are many reputable
companies which look with
scorn on such practices, and
some have even refused to
accept community donated
buildings. One company offi­cial
said his company always
finances its own buildings as
a sign that it would remain a
permanent part of the commu­nity.
That particular company
takes pride in the fact that
it has never closed a factory
to open another some place
else.
Of course its useless to
say communities should be
more selective of the industry
they attract, since they are
fighting for their economic
lives, and when they can draw
large nationwide industries,
they do so. But states and
the federal government can
and should take actions to
prevent the economic black­mail
some companies impose
upon communities by their
threats to move unless wages
remain low.
No company should be
given free reign over a com­munity.
jected in 1965 and again in
1966. Many state legisla­tures,
already ill-apportioned
by the Court's ruling, began
passing resolutions request­ing
a constitutional conven­tion,
since the congressional
avenue of c o n s t i t u t i o n al
change had been closed.
Most legislatures apparently
thought the convention would
consider only the apportion­ment
issue, but it would have
unlimited power.
There has been consider­able
debate over the word
"shall" in Article V. Does
this require Congress to call
a convention or is Congress
left to its own discretion?
How will the Supreme Court
rule if Congress refuses to
call a convention? Who would
back the court if Congress
balked at the court's ruling?
The prospect of a clash
between two of the govern­ment's
three branches over
a constitutional convention
which has the authority to
change the whole system of
government could have dis­astrous
affects.
Liberals, conservatives,
and every shade of political
ideologist could be thrown
into a political boxing ring
that might make the pre-civil
war debates seem ultra-con­servative.

Reflections...
1 wonder
what it's
like to die'
By Joe Lehman
Reflections, caused by the
sun as it dropped from the
deep blue skies, sparkled on
the lake's surface. Another
September day, the kind that
passes lazily because of the
90-degree temperatures, was
fading away.
The man cranked the small
outboard mo­tor
as his son
finished re-baiting
the
last hook on
the t r o t-line
and let it
s l i d e back
into the dark
waters. It had
been a good
day; large
channel cats, the best eating
kind, were piled up to the gun­wales.
He headed his skiff
toward home with a sense of
s e c u r i t y and satisfaction
spreading over him like the
wake from his boat which
spread fanlike over the calm
water.
"I heard at the docks that
Mr. Brown died today, PaPa,"
the boy said.
"Yes, he died in the hos­pital
in Chattanooga this
morning. His old heart was
just too weak," the man said
softly.
"I wonder what it's like to
die," the boy thought aloud.
Wistfully he let his hand dan­gle
over the sides of the boat
making his own little wake in
the lake surface.
"PaPa, do people thrash
about like an ol' catfish does
when they die?"
"I guess it affects people
in different ways; some pass
on peacefully, others feel a
lot of bad pain," the man's
voice mingled with the chug­ging
of the over worked motor
as he answered.
"Do you think he'll make
it to heaven?''
"Well, it takes a heap of
doing to get into heaven, and
I don't know if he did enough
or not," the man replied.
"But if Mr. Brown did get
to heaven do you reckon he's
up there watching us right
now and remembering the first
time he took me up the river
to fish for the big'uns or the
time he helped you fix our
old motor?"
Only the puttering motor
answered; the boat surged
toward the dock as if anxious
to get home. The man skill­fully
maneuvered the skiff
next to the weathered, wooden
dock and waited for his son
to tie the boat up. Instead of
unloading the catch as usual,
the man watched the lengthen­ing
shadows of the pines
creep over the lake.
"Sit down son," he said.
"You're growing up now,
and someday you'll start
thinking about leaving home
and getting married and rais­ing
a family. You'll think
about joining the army and
going off to fight.;.and
you'll think about dying too.
It won't do you any good to
think about it, but if you are
any kind of a man I reckon
you will."
"Mr. Brown led a good
life and he died, but lots of
folks lead bad lives, and they
die too. You got to do what
the Good Lord put in you to
do, and I hope it's in you to
live a good life. But, no mat­ter
how you live, you've got
to die."
The sun had slipped behind
the hills which ringed the
lake, and a subtle grayness
darkened the eerie silence
of the day's end.
"PaPa," the boy whis­pered.

Scholarship rules'vital' to fraternities
IK rule rejection
disappoints student
Editor, The Plainsman:
It was indeed a disappoint­ment
to see the IFC reject the
scholarship proposals at its
meeting of Feb. 13. I don't
contend that the proposals
were a panacea for the prob­lems
facing the fraternities at
Auburn. However, as The
Plainsman has pointed out,
the time is long overdue for
fraternities to raise their aca­demic
standing. With further
inaction the fraternities will
soon face either of two alter­natives.
They may either be
forced to accept scholarship
regulations dictated by the
administration or lose recog­nition
by the administration.
The fraternity system at
Auburn has one of the lowest
scholastic ratings of major
schools in the South. The all-fraternity
average has been
below the all-men's average
consistently over the past
several years. Fraternities
continue to use high school
records and entrance exams
scores as one criteria of a
desirable pledge.
However, fraternities after
pledging boys with better than
average high school records
are only able to turn out
pledges and brothers with be­low
average college records.
Is this consistent with the
purpose of Auburn University?
How long can the administra­tion
in good conscience let
this continue?
Fraternities profess to be a
great teacher of democratic
principles and brotherhood,
and at this they are excellent.
However, it is this very combi­nation
of attributes that has
caused the problems that fra­ternities
now face. The demo­cratic
form of rule is extreme­ly
slow to change, but when
this is coupled with a fraternal
atmosphere that requires more
of a consensus for action than
a simple majority the problem
of change is compounded. Au­burn
University has expanded
its facilities and improved its
curriculum and entrance re­quirements
at a tremendous
pace in recent years. Frater­nities
have not kept up with
this change.
The two scholarship pro­posals
that have been referred
back to the committee have a
great deal of merit. I hope
that Tom Walker and his com­mittee
will be able to change
them enough to attract the ad­ditional
votes necessary for
passage without sacrificing
their effectiveness.
I am indeed sorry that these

proposals have had to come
from the IFC. The individual
fraternities should have taken
the early initiative to correct
the problem. Obviously if the
problem cannot be handled by
IFC the next level of authority
is the administration and here,
after failing at two lower
levels, the fraternities posi­tion
will be greatly weakened.

Student compliments
ACOIA presentation
Editor, The Plainsman:
The world today can be
likened to a troubled sea.
Cast upon this sea are many
boats representing commun­ities
of men and minds. One
rule of water safety that has
been followed on these little
boats in the past states: "In
order to minimize the losses
of passengers overboard, there
will be no standing up in the
boats."
Now, no one wants to fall
into the«cold brine, but if we
can stand up carefully, not
falling in or overturning the
boat, but merely rocking it
just enough to awaken some of
the sleeping passengers, those
who declared long ago "We'll
never reach shore anyway; no
need for me to row and tire
myself"; if we can get those
people to wake up to their
responsibilities, then maybe
one of these days (or one of
these generations) we'll reach
that shore.
Last week Auburn witnessed
an excellent example of this
careful rocking of the boat.
Those fortunate ones who
attended now have gotten outl
their paddles, but those many
sleeping p a s s e n g e r s who
failed to take notice of ACOIA
and use it as a tool to broaden
their minds still need to break
out their oars.
ACOIA did a fine job. Cer­tainly
there can be improve­ments,
but no matter how good
the topic or how excellent the
speakers; if thousands of
people supposedly seeking an
"education" (if indeed there
is such a thing) don't take ad­vantage
of the opportunity, we
may be adrift an awfully long
time.

'Enthusiastic' merchant
to improve ^eyesore'
Editor, The Plainsman:
Your recent editorial en­titled
"An Eyesore Forever?"
set this Auburn merchant in
motion to see if something
could be done to improve the
looks of the lot where Sor­rento
Restaurant was once
located. I agreed with you that
it was an eyesore, a blight on
downtown Auburn and that
something attractive and use­ful
could be done with the
property.
In my enthusiasm, I got
carried away and purchased
the property. I am presently
working in cooperation with
the city and downtown Auburn
to improve the looks of the
lot, and until an economic use
for the property can be worked
out, we will probably grass
the plot and plant benches
and tables for the weary shop­pers.

Bufkin questioned
as drama critic
Editor, The Plainsman:
What qualifications does Mr.
Bufkin have to recommend
himself as a drama critic?
From his column on "Tar-tuffe,"
I wonder what his
background in theatre arts is.
It is quite apparent that he
knows little of the history or
objectives of comedy.
This play was written during
the 17th century by Moliere.
The 17th century was for
France its golden age of lit-

erature. During this period,
classical drama especially
reached its greatest heights
in Corneille and Racine.
Comedy was void of a master
until Moliere appeared late in
the century. Then, the theatre
was not for street crowds; it
was confined almost exclu­sively
to the nobility and
wealthy middle1 class. These
people considered themselves
more sophisticated than to
enjoy straight slap-stick
farce. .-J-'
"Tartuffe" is not a farce.
It is one of Moliere's finest
satires. This may easily be
seen if "Tartuffe" is com­pared
with one of Moliere's
true farces, " The Hypochon­driac,"
which was written to
be performed in the town
square before a completely un­educated
and sometimes vulgar
audience. Perhaps Mr. Buf-kin's
mind is hot sharp enough
to perceive the difference. I
thought the performance which
I saw was hampered by facili­ties
to an extent, but I felt
that as a whole it was as well
done as a college group could
do it. Only on one point did I
disagree with the director's
choice of actors for roles,
music or decor.
I think perhaps the lack of
depth and subtlety exists in
the mind of the reviewer, not 1
in the play. ',

Last game in the 'Barn'
The Auburn Tigers play basketball in the Sports Arena
for the last time Wednesday night.
There has been a lot of basketball played in the Arena
since the building was pronounced ready for use on the
morning of Jan. 26, 1948.
Along with the newly constructed Student Activities
Building the Arena was part of the "Greater Auburn"
expansion program.
The Arena had somewhat humble beginnings as part of
the Army's recreational program, being a facility of Camp
Livingston, La. Perhaps the largest piece of Army sur­plus
you'll ever see, the Arena was given to Auburn by
the federal government, torn down, shipped to the Plains,
and put back together again.
On Jan. 31, 1948, the Tigers played their first game
in their new home, leaving the cramped confines of Alumni
Gym. Auburn ripped Georgia Tech, 38-31, before a "record
breaking" crowd of 3,000 fans, and a new era in Auburn
basketball was born. ..i^.!?::si!._..~„:i":.i:.;.;.,.'' _"_"."": "'""',
And so was a winning tradition, associated with what
came to be known affectionately to Auburn students as
the "Barn."
'Born' hated,ieeredfloved
Visiting teams and coaches hated the little gym where
spectators sat practically in the players' laps and the
noise became an avalanche of cheers and jeers when the
Tigers rallied.
Sports writers and broadcasters called it the "cracker-box"
and made it notorious in Southeastern cage circles
for its home court advantage.
The Sports Arena wasn't much for making good first
impressions.
"That can't be where Auburn plays basketball," said
prospective students and their parents upon initial sight
of the "Barn."
But it was.
And the students came to know the Arena as they hung
away their rat caps and settled into their first winter
quarter on the Plains.
They knew it as a dark place, poorly ventilated and
smelling of sweatclothes, linament, and some third string
forward's ankle wrap.
Visitors would call the Arena oppressive. To Auburn
people it was home.
To students, the Sports Arena was a place where your
seat included a pair of knees digging into your back, a
bump on the head when you stood up under a retractable
utility basket, and a refresher course in climbing over
peoples' heads and backs.
Back for more
But once you attended a game in the Arena, you came
back for more.
You came back on cold weekday nights when the only
other thing left to do was study, and you came on rainy
Saturday afternoons like the one on Feb. 12, 1966, when
the number one team in the nation, Kentucky, was in
town.
What a day that was! In blue and white,for Coach
Adolph Rupp were people named Dampier, Riley, and
Conley, and underdog Auburn, which lost after a good
fight, had a guy name DeFore, who scored a few points
during his Tiger career.
Wednesday night the scene which has been played for
the last 20 years goes on again.
But this time the ending is different.
Wednesday night the stands will fill with students
and faculty.
Wednesday night the crowd will count the steps of
custodian Benny Carter as he sweeps the orange border
of the court with his wide, shaggy broom.
Wednesday night the pretty girls will walk by the
bleachers and blush and smile at the hoots of the guys
in the crowd who came stag.
Wednesday night the place will rock with cheers and
the happy sound of Bodie Hinton's band.
Wednesday night the final buzzer will sound and the
floor will be swarmed by students, happy parents, and
little kids who seem perpetually homeless.
Wednesday night, and a familiar Auburn sports scene
is re-enacted once again.
But this time, for the last time.
Two senior guards, Alex
Howell and Bob Miller, end
their Auburn careers in this
contest, the Tigers' final game
of the 1967-68 season.
Auburn is. slated to play the
1968-69 basketball season in
a new six million dollar coli­seum.
Alabama's Crimson Tide
looks to their high scoring
guard, Mike Nordholz, to pro­vide
the winning spark Satur­day
night, as he did when Au­burn
visited Tuscaloosa ear­lier
this season. That night
Nordholz bagged 22 points in
'Bama's 64-63 victory.
Gary Elliot, .6-2 guard, is
also capable of delivering
needed points from his outside
position.
Under the basket the Tide
has three able performers in
6-7 center Rich Deppe, 6-5
forward Randy Hollingsworth,
and 6-5 forward Tom Jones.
VOLS TRY AGAIN
Auburn virtually eliminated
Tennessee from the Southeast­ern
Conference race last Sat
urday night with a 52-51 win
over the Vols in Knoxville.
With the victory, the Tigers
became the first team in three
years to beat Tennessee on
the Vols' home court.
Leading Tennessee into
action will be 7-0 center Tom
Boerwinkle, one of the top re-bounders
in the Conference.
Top man in the scoring
bracket for Tennessee is Bill
Justis, 6-1 guard. Justis' part­ner
at guard is 6-3 Billy Harm,
a superb ball handler and play-maker.
Tom Hendrix, 6-5 forward,
is the team leader and a con­sistent
point producer.
Two promising sophomores
alternate at the post position
for Tennessee. They are 6-10
Bobby Croft, a Canadian, and
6-8 strongman Larry Mans­field.
Auburn nine opens
season on Mar. 14
By JIM PARKER
Assistant Sports Editor
The Auburn baseball team attempts to hold on to their
National Collegiate Athletic Association Regional
Championship as they open the 1968 season with games
against the University of Southern Mississippi at Hat-tiesburg,
Miss, on Mar.
14 and 15.
From Hattiesburg the
team travels to Mobile,
Ala. for three games. The
f i r s t will be on Mar. 16
against the University of
South Alabama, followed by
two games with Spring Hill
College on the 18 and 19.
HOME GAMES
The Tigers will have their
first home games on March 22
and 23 against Florida at 2
p.m.
"We have a young team,"
Coach Paul Nix said. "It's
hard to win with a young
team."
Auburn will be fielding
five freshmen this year.
"In the past five years the
eastern division of the South­eastern
Conference has been
decided between Auburn and
Florida with Auburn coming
out on top four of these years,
and there is no reason why
it won't be that way again
this year," said Nix.
FOR SEC TITLE
To win the SEC title, Au­burn
will have to win the
eastern division and then
beat the winner of the western
division in a best two-out-of-three
contest.
"We will be using a
balanced attack as we have in
the past," said Nix. "We
don't play for the big inning.
Rather we play to grub runs
anyway we can get them."

SEC thriller decided
'60 title in capital
By ROY RILEY
Assistant Managing Editor
It was a night for upsets.
Top basketball teams throughout the nation fell this
larch night of 1960.
It-was eerie.
And now lowly Alabama was giving Southeastern Con-jrence
co-leader Auburn all the trouble the Tigers could
andle in Montgomery's gigantic Coliseum.
It was 50-50 with but two minutes left.
And Alabama had the ball.
Auburn was 11-2 in the conference and 18-3 overall.
3amawas 4-9 in the conference and 7-16 overall. Auburn
as tied with Georgia Tech for the SEC lead. Tech was
laying Vanderbilt in Nashville.
Auburn had taken a commanding lead earlier as Alabama
ade its first field goal with 11:00 in the first half.
Auburn, behind All-SEC guard Henry Hart, led by 10 in
lose early moments, but Alabama sophomore Porter
owers was hot from the outside and in the waining mo-ents
of the first half, he made it a two point deficit,
D-28.
Hart and his shuffle offense mates jumped to a 42-30
sad with 10:00 left in thegame, but Powers, who had 31
rints for the night, brought it to 43-40.
Larry Pennington tied it at 50 each.
The Coliseum was a madhouse.
After an Auburn free toss, Powers put Alabama ahead
»r the first time 52-51.
Great Tiger Taies ~
But Jimmy Fibbe, the hero of the 61-60 win over Ken-cky,
hit a lay-up and it was 53-52.
Then Fibbe fouled Powers. It was Fibbe's fifth foul.
Powers sacked the free shot with :43 remaining.
53^53.
Hart, who scored 21 points, worked for the last shot
id barely missed. Bama's Bob Gavin made a desperation
row as the horn sounded, but missed.
The game went into overtime, and it was fantastic.
It was an entire season wrapped up in a five minute
Knee.
"Here is a score from Nashville," the PA man said.
With two minutes left to play, Vandy 54, Tech 54."
Now Auburn and Alabama were back at it.
Powers hit a 25-footer, but Hart matched the bucket on
crip.
Powers went up again, but missed.
Auburn's Billy Ross hit a lay-up.
57-55. Auburn led.
"Here is .a final score," the announcer said during a
ne out. "Georgia Tech 5 7 . . . Vanderbilt.. .62."
Once again the fans, and the Auburn team, went crazy.
POWERS AGAIN
Powers tied it with a long shot.
Hart hit a lay-up with 2:37 remaining and it was 59-57.
That man Powers Scored again arid it was tied once
>re.;.
Auburn, not waiting for a last second shot, scored on
crip. It was the fourth crip shot of the overtime and it
s 61-59.
Powers ripped again.
61-61.
Less than a minute and one-half remained. Auburn was
iting for the last shot.
Hart had it near the mid-court line and was called for
veling. Now the shoe was on the other foot.
' Bama had it.
TIME WAS RUNNING OUT
57-56-55-54... the clock ticked away precious seconds.
Powers got it with :18 left and the Auburn crowd did a
range thing. They began counting seconds.
But they started with five serrnds.
Whether the crowd affect"ti Powers or not is unknown,
twjien the count reached thrs*. Powers lofted a 35-foot
ot .that missed everything... except Hart's hands. It
was Hart's 12th rebound of the game and he called time
out before his feet reached the ground.
A glance alfthe clock showed 11 seconds remained.
Alabama had just changed shoes.
Auburn had won 50 of its last 55 games and now the
chance to add the biggest victory ever was in sight.
Porter Gilbert passed in to Hart. A quick dribble dis­posed
of a defender.
/ ALL ALONE
The/Tigers began their screens and all of a sudden,
there was Ray Groover all alone under the net.
Hart, from behind the free throw circle, passed to
Groover. But the pass was a little too much in front of
Groover.
Groover reached for it, caught it, dribbled under the net
and a mini-second before the horn sounded, he flipped the
ball behind his head and into an anxiously awaiting net.
Auburn had just won its first SEC basketball title, 63-
61.
All of Hannibal's elephant herds never made as much
noise as what followed.
It was a great moment in Auburn sports.

'Shakiest limb' bends
with FIJI playoff pick
By ED RUZIC
At the beginning of this
quarter, to liven up the
men's intramural column, I
started predicting the out­come
of the different bas­ketball
leagues. Well, by
some strange quirk of faith,
my predictions have come
true 100 per cent.
As a consequence I have
been asked by at least 20 or
30 people in the last week to
give my predictions on the
upcoming fraternity playoff
between Kappa Alpha, Omega
Tau Sigma, Sigma Nu, and Phi
Gamma Delta.
Predicting the playoff's
outcome means going out on
the shakiest limb of a very
feeble tree. But to keep the
faith of my readers, I'm going
to make the trip to the tip of
that limb. My pick to win the
fraternity basketball cham­pionship—
Phi Gamma Delta.
WHY PHI GAM?
My reasoning is that the
FIJI'splay the best team ball.
They have played five games
and have had only one person
score over 20 points one time.
Besides this balance, they
have speed, outside shooting,
and a tight man to man de­fense.
The Sigma'Nu's are going
to put up a great fight, espe­cially
after this article. They
have very good outside shoot­ing,
good ball handlers, and
good leadership, but I don't
feel they will be able to keep
cool against the FIJI defense.
The Phi Gams also have
another thing on their side-revenge.
It will take a long
time for them to forget last
quarter's 11 yard to eight
yard overtime loss to the Sig­ma
Nu's, dropping them out
of the running for the foot­ball
championship.

year. After their upset victory
over SAE early in the season,
they have continued to roll
along. If they have a couple
of good nights they could
emerge the champions.
I'm afraid the KA's might
have their beards shaven in
this tournament. They have
gone through the season un­defeated
but have not looked
as sharp as the other teams.
Of course you can't count
them out yet. Any team that
has gone this far can win it
all.
No matter who wins the
fraternity playoffs, they will
meet the independent winners
next quarter on Mar. 26 in the
Sports Arena to determine the
intramural champions. ' This
game, along with a preliminary
match between prominent stu­dent
leaders and faculty to
be played the same night, is
being sponsored by Alpha Phi
Omega service fraternity.
In my opinion the independ
ent championship will be a
tossup. The Rebels will
surely win in League A, but
when they meet teams such as
Section Five or the Hasbeens,
it is going to be a fight to the
end. These teams, along with
Psychology and the Town­house,
have tremendous po­tential
and whoever wins could
supply overwhelming competi-ition
to the fraternity champs.
To use an old cliche, one
of the biggest problems in the
independent intramural lea­gues
is "a failure to communi­cate."
As a result of this
they have had insufficient
coverage in this column and
no all-star team last quarter.
In an effort to correct the
situation, a meeting will, be
held at the first of next quar­ter
for all independent man­agers.
An exact date, time,
and place will be announced
in the first Plainsman next
quarter.
ROSTERS DUE
Coach Evans reports that
all team rosters for independ­ent
softball teams are due by
Mar. 8.
The winners of the frater­nity
bowling leagues are Phi
Kappa Tau, Sigma Pi, Pi Kap­pa,
and Alpha Tay Omega.

Maravich of 1929 was Auburn's Ralph lefty' Jordai
By DAVID HOUSEL
Managing Editor
Pete Maravich may be the hottest thing to hit Southern
basketball courts since Ralph "Snug" Jordan had the
entire South, from Virginia to Louisiana, buzzing over
his scoring antics in the old Southern Conference.
Auburn's winningest football coach would have made
Auburn sports history even if he had not returned to the
Plains in 1951 to become head football coach.
A three sports star in 1929-32, he was a football center,
captain of the basketball team, and the winning pitcher
in the Southern Conference championship baseball game.
He remained at Auburn as assistant football coach and
head basketball coach following graduation.
Jordan was the Maravich of the Southern Conference of
1929 when he scored 111 points to lead the conference.
Now Jordan remembers, "In those days you had a wide
open game when the team scored 40 points, and we won
some in Alumni gym by scores as low as 16-14, but they
were as exciting as today's games. My 111 points looked
big then, but Maravich gets that many in two games now."
The man who has won 113 football games at Auburn
still smiles broadly when he remembers that day in the
early 1930's when he and his Auburn teammates met
Florida for the Southern Conference baseball champion­ship.
"I was a third string pitcher," he recalls.
"This was the deciding game and our staff was pretty
depleted. The coach walked up and said 'Let's see your
stuff, Lefty.'"
Waving his arms to describe the pitches, Jordan conti­nues,
"I threw my fastball, which really looked like an
annie-over, and my ole roundhouse out curve ball and
Coach said, 'You got it Lefty. Get in there.' "
LEFTY PITCHED
Athletic Director Jeff Beard recalls, "Shug just threw
it in there and let them hit it and they did hit it. Home
plate was up at the corner of where Drake Field and the
tennis courts used to be. Florida would hit that ball and
you'd see it go over the rise and disappear toward the
field house.
"About that time, the centerfielder, Porter Grand, would
come up with it. He saved Shug that day and late in the
game, Shug was still asking Porter for more help. The
poor guy's suit was ringing wet already and his tongue
was hanging out like a red necktie."
"I wasn't a very good pitcher," Jordan modestly ad­mits,
"but I did win the game, 5-3, by hitting a three-run
homer."
At the prompting of Bill Beckwith, Jordan related how
he decided to give up baseball one day.
"I'm not sure if I was pitching for the Selma Dewdrops
or someone who gave me $1.50 to pitch, but I threw my
fastball as hard as I could once and hit a batter right
between the eyes.It didn't even phase him. He just threw
off his hat, dropped the bat and trotted down to first
base. I said if I couldn't throw.hardfij ^t?]thati the.n I'd
quit,',' Jordan laughs. ')
Jordan graduated from Auburn in 1932. He was named
an assistant football coach in 1932, 25 days before his
21st birthday.
Jordan was named Auburn's basketball coach in 1934.
His teams played their games in Alumni Gym.
ORIGINAL 'BARN'
"They talked about a homecourt advantage in the
Sports Arena," Jordan smiles. "Well, they should have
seen Alumni Gym. The seats were right on the out of
bounds line and when you went in for a crip shot, you
would probably wind up half way up in the crowd. The
fans would literally throw you back on the court and you'd
take off again."
Beard recalls that the goals were right against the bal­cony
walls and says, "It was really tough on the oppo­nents.
They were not used to seeing people's legs dang­ling
over the wall and feet banging against the side of
the backboard. We tried to keep the feet back from the
backboard, but it was hard."
His surprising 1942 team went to the quarterfinals of

the SEC tournament before losing to Adolph Rupp's
Kentucky team, 40-31.
"We tricked them. We let them take the outside shots
and played it tight. They were so surprised they couldn't
even hit the rim for a long time."
GOOD FRIENDS
Rupp and Jordan have been friends since their cage
coaching days.
"When I took over as head football coach and gave up
basketball, Coach Rupp wrote me and said it was the
worst mistake I'd ever made," Jordan .laughs.
"He was also the only conference coach to congratu­late
us when we won the National Championship in 1957."
Rupp says Jordan is "as fine a football coach as he
was a basketball coach, and associations with men like
him make coaching worthwhile."
The basketball teams in Jordan's coaching days played
as many as six games on the road in a row.
He recalls his "most terrible trip."
"We were going to Louisiana to play Tulane and Louis­iana
State. One of the players, J.P. Streetman, had a car
and wanted to take it and collect the three cents a mile
expense pay.
"We loaded up in J.P.'s car and two U-Drive-Its and
headed out to Louisiana. Somebody stole J.P.'s car in
Jackson, Miss., and we had to put the whole team in the
two U-Drive-Its.
"We drove into New Orleans, and luckily, one of the
players bought a paper. In the excitement, we realized
we were supposed to play in Baton Rouge that night, so
we just packed back up and started out again."
Jordan said basketball teams of his day were lucky
"to get uniforms every three or four years and sweat
suits lasted for generations."
SMALL MEN
"Those were the days when you jumped center after
every field goal," says Jordan, "and we seldom had any
men over 6-2. And if anybody shot a one-handed shot
other than a crip, the coaches would put him on the
bench."
After a tour of duty in Europe during World War II,
Jordan went to Georgia where he was assistant football
coach and head basketball coach until 1950. He won more
games, 18 in 1948, than any other Bulldog coach has won
in one year.
"We were playing St. John's in Madison Square Garden
inmyfirst game as Georgia's coach," recalls Jordan. "It
was less than two weeks until the game and I asked Wally
Butts, the athletic director, when we were going to get
some war surplus mattresses out of Woodruff Hall so we
could practice. He said, 'Shug, it's still two weeks until
the game, isn't it? What are you getting so excited about?"
St. John's won the game, but the most excitement came
hours before the game started.
"The boys were so naive that they went out in front of
the ticket office and started selling their guest tick
The whole team was arrested that afternoon, but we
them off in time for the game," Jordan recalls.
Jordan laughs when he tells about one big acjvan
Alumni Gym gave the Tigers.
"There was an area about the size of a desk;top
was dead. When the player dribbled over it, the ball w
not come back. We beat Georgia, 31-30, one rijght
cause of that dead spot. We would see them dribl
toward the spot and when the ball hit the spot, we'd
it and run." »
Jordan's basketball teams had no scholarship help,
than one Coke machine.
"The first aid any Auburn basketball player eve
ceived," Jordan laughs, "went to Shag Hawkins, a p
Bill Lynn and I believe could play in the league tc
We had a soft drink machine near the coaches' of
and we gave Shag all of the money we made ofl
machine. It came to about S15 a month. We must
sold a lot of Cokes."
Most of Jordan's basketball players were also foo
players.
SHORT REST
"We'd give them a couple of days off after the
football game and then we'd start playing basketball
schedules were made during the Christmas holidays
we played teams like the Lanett Athletic Club in
games before Christmas."
Joel Eaves, Georgia's athletic director, and coac
Auburn's only Southeastern Conference champior
basketball team, was a center under Jordan.
"Coach was then, as he is now, as fine a man to
for as you'll find anywhere. He made the boys wai
to play for him," says Eaves.
"But I'll never forget one night when we were pla
a team we should have beaten by 50 points, but we
behind at the half. Coach Jordan cleared the dres
room except for the five starters and then he said,
all are pitiful. You couldn't beat Loachapoka, Wetur
or Wedowee, the way you are playing tonight.'"
• Eaves said the Tigers went back and won the gam<
"That's as rough as he ever got with us," Eaves s
Jordan's teams were always competitive.
"Basketball, football, or any competive sport, in
dual sports included, teach a person emotional stabil

In volumes
Library shoots for million mark
By JOE LEHMAN
The. library presently needs to double its volume hold­ings
to cope with the needs of Auburn's increasing enroll­ment
and expanding graduate and research programs.
The problems associated with increasing the library's
holdings to one million volumes are multiple. Chief among
these are the need for both substantial increases in the
library budget and professional staff and the revision of
acquisition and binding procedures.
TWO BASIC STEPS
"Two basic steps must be taken before the library can
make any improvements," said Dr. Clyde Cantrell, direc­tor
of libraries. "First, we need additional funding for
library resources, and secondly, we need additional per­sonnel.
"We will not even hold the line without an increase in
our budget," warned Cantrell.
This is due to the yearly book price inflation of five to
ten percent and the more competitive salaries which other
institutional libraries use to attract qualified staff mem­bers.
"Although we have had substantial increases in recent
years, other universities have made the same increases,"
he said. This has had the effect of maintaining the lib­rary's
position in comparison to other southern libraries.
What can be done to obtain additional funds and staff
members for the library?
ADDITIONAL FUNDS
The administration is certainly aware of the problem
and Pres.Harry M. Philpott has promised to allocate "the
largest amount of funds available" to the library's 1968-
69 budget according to Dr. Wilford S. Bailey, academic

The process of developing the 1968-69 budget is pre­sently
underway, but a final budget will not be made offi­cial
until June.
"Since this is the second year of the biennium our
hands are tied until the next legislative appropriations,"
said Bailey. The legislature increased Auburn's appro­priations
by one per cent last year.
SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS
"However, we are attempting to solve some of the im­mediate
problems by making special allocations to the
library from the university equipment fund," he said.
Recent allocations from this fund include $17,000 for
shelving and $48,000 for library resources in fields such
as history and Engl-3h.
The latter allocation was made since the books availa­ble
in the library are "the research equipment in such
fields as English."
Additional funds for the next year will come from the
student fee increase which will go into effect summer
quarter.
"However, this will only serve to offset the loss of
the Auburn Development Fund which will be exhausted
this year," said Bailey.
The ADF provided the library with an additional
$787,000 for the purchase of library resources over the
past five years and was made up of alumni contributions."
"Certainly, the ADF has served to vastly increase the
library's holdings," said Bailey.
Bailey emphasized that the monetary and personnel
problems of the library are not unique but are campus
wide.

of the library which a recent consultants' report pointed
out are also receiving immediate attention.
ACQUISITIONS STUDY
A study of the acquisitions procedures is presently
being conducted. The goal of the study is to establish
procedures which will reduce the time required to place a
book on the library shelves from six months to 30 days.
Richard T. Pastorett, head of the acquisitions division,
is working with William W. Morgan, an industrial engineer­ing
professor, on the study.
"We are already receiving better service," said Can­trell.
The last shipment took nine weeks. "The bindery
was over contracted and could not meet all of its custo­mers'needs
at the time of the consultants visitation,"
said Cantrell. "Now they have dropped one contract and
are providing us with six to nine weeks service."
The consultants had found the time elapse for the
binding process to take from two to six months.
Three fellowships
given All students
Larry S. Landrum, 4 SL; Paul M. Lyrene, 4 BI; and
Susan Skelton, 4 SL, were designated by the Woodrow
Wilson National Fellowship Foundation as among the
best future college teacher prospects on the continents.
In a recommendation to
the dean of graduate stu­dies,
William V. Parker,
the three students were con­sidered
by the foundation
to be "worthy of financial
support in graduate
school." They were among
1,124 seniors at 309 colleges
and universities who were
;chosen.

Of 502 students graduating
this quarter, 441 undergraduate

The recommendation marks
a change in the Foundation's
program. In the last ten years,
with funds from the Ford
Foundation amounting to $52
million, the Woodrow Wilson
National Fellowship Founda­tion
was able to make direct
grants to approximately 1,000
American and Canadian stu­dents
annually to support their
first year of graduate study.
"Now our major role is to
identify for graduate depart­ments
those students in our
view have the best potential
for college teaching," said Sii
Hugh Taylor, president of the
Foundation.
"This year's Designates
are as distinguished and care­fully
selected a group as last
year's Fellows. We hope all
of them will receive assistance
from the graduate schools or
from federal or other fellow­ship
programs," continued
Taylor.
Fifteen regional committees
made up of members of the
academic profession selected
1,124 Woodrow Wilson Desig­nates
out of a total of 11,682
who had been nominated by
their college professors.

For printing the article, "The Student as Nigger," the
editors of The Lance student newspaper at the University
of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario were dismissed from their
jobs several weeks ago.
The article contained numerous vulgarities and four-letter
obscenities. Jerry Farber, an English professor
at California State College, is the author of "The Student
as Nigger," a frank discussion of many terms commonly
classified as profanity.
Farber was later asked by The Lance if he thought the
language used in "The Student as Nigger" was detri­mental
to the effect of the article. He replied, "The
words were part of the situation. You can not separate
form from content. This is what I teach my (English
literature) classes."
Farber was questioned on a University official's con­demnation
of "The Lance's morbid o b s e s s i o n with
squalid vulgarity."
Farber said, "That's his bag. I do not regard sex as
squalid or vulgar-nor the words used to describe i t ."
YALE, UCLA APPROVE DRAFT RULES
Support for the revised draft classifications for grad­uate
students has been voiced by the graduate school
deans at the University of California and Yale.
Under the new draft rules all draft deferments will be
discontinued for graduates, except for men in medical or
dental schools and those graduates with two or more
years of accumulated credit by June, 1968.
The deans moved in a joint statement to accept the
new draft criteria. This resolution came in the wake of
almost unanimous unpopularity of the measure at other
universities.
However, the deans advocate "random selection" of
military prospects as a more adequate solution to the
shortage of eligible draftees.
The new regulations were criticized by the deans as
having "harmful aspects." They said the changes are
too abrupt, and therefore the colleges are unprepared for
the inevitable-a decrease in enrollment at these insti­tutions.
AEROSOL SPRAY FOR ENFORCEMENT
Aerosol cans are commonly thought of as containing
such ingredients as hair spray, fly spray or deodorant.
But now the University of Utah security officers will use
these cans to squirt MACE into the faces of unruly stu­dents
or culprits.
MACE is a mixture of chemicals and tear-gas that
cause a shortage of breath and a caustic stinging on the
skin of anyone coming in contact with it.
Campus officers said the substance will be 'used pri­marily
in quelling student fights and against crime sus­pects
trying to escape.
Forum to debate
civil disobedience
Civil disobedience will be
debated tonight at a meeting
of the Human Rights Forum,
according to Anthony Lee, pre­sident
of the group.
"We have heard civil dis­obedience
approached from
the negative side during the
Auburn Conference on Inter­national
Affairs," said Lee.
"Judge Godbold at Study Day
and Senator Hatfield both
spoke against it. We would
like to present arguments both
for and against it through this
debate."
P a r t i c i p a n t s in the dis­cussion
will be Albert Turner,
state director of the Southern
Christian Leadership Con­ference;
Bob Valder, associate
director of the Alabama Coun­cil
on Human Relations; and
Dr. John Jeffers, pastor of
the First Baptist Church o£
Auburn.
The Forum will meet at 8
p.m. in Commons Room 254. >
