Computer fouls Sigma Chi
Almost 1,050 Pledge
As 'Rush Week' Ends
About 1,050 people
pledged Greek organiza­tions
last week as fall rush
for fraternities and sorori-ended.
"Seven hundred seventy
boys participated in rush,"
IFC president Steve McMil­lan
said Tuesday, "and
about 550 pledged a frater­nity.
However, final figures
won't be available until after
the first IFC meeting Oct. 3 ."
"The new system used
last week worked reasonably
well but there are numerous
'bugs' which will have to be
worked out before next year.
Since the bid cards for Sigma
Chi fraternity were lost at
the computer center, special
precautions will be taken to
prevent future foul-ups of this
nature. However, considering
the numerous changes in the
rush procedure, I am very
satisfied with rush," said
McMillan. "The cooperation
of the fraternities was parti­cularly
satisfying."
The new system included
30-minute open houses with
ten minutebreaks. Each rush-ee
was required to visit ev­ery
house during this peri­od.
Initial contact was de­leted
and rushees visited
four houses of their choice on
the second day. Rush func­tions
were held in the re­mainder
of rush and bids were
given on the last day.
"There were 775 girls par­ticipating
in Panhellenic rush
and approximately 500 re­ceived
bids and pledged a
sorority," said Miss Mary
Bradley, advisor to Panhell­enic,
Tuesday.
"This is the largest group
ever to participate in rush at
Auburn and I was verypleas*
ed with the rush procedures,"
she said.
Jamie Sledge; IFC secre­tary,
said, "The spirit of co­operation
between all the
fraternities resulted in a very
large reduction in the num­ber
of rush violations. The
fraternities were generally
satisfied with the new open
house system but the initial
contact system will have to
be reinstated. Some type of
preferential system may be
the solution along with hav­ing
all rushees live in Mag­nolia
Dormitories during
rush."
Auburn's computer system
apparently bungled the alpha­betical
sorting of the Sigma
Chi fraternity bid cards during

Possibility Will Be 'Fully Explored'
If New Field House Is Not Ready By Fall
By LYN SCARBROUGH
Assistant Editor
The possibility of future mail-out registration for fall quarter will be "explored
fully" by the Registration Committee, a university official said this week.
Dr. Wilbur A. Tincher, director of educational services, said that if thenewField
House is not available for
registration by fall quarter * * * * * *
1908, "we would almost
have to use some sort of
mail-out system or go back
to pulling cards."
The suggested change
came on the h e e l s of last
week's registration in the
Sports Arena, which drew un­favorable
criticism from both
students and registration offi­cials.

officials and student repre­sentatives
will meet this week
to make recommendations to
be submitted to the Registra­tion
Committee.
Dr. Tincher said that he will
call a regular meeting of the
Registration Committee during
the week of Oct. 2 to discuss
registration recommendations.
FIELD HOUSE POSSIBILITY

house will be available by

School Of Business Opens;
Science And Lit To Relocate
By LYN SCARBROUGH
Assistant Editor
With a minimum of cere­mony,
one of the largest
schools on campus was
started this fall.
Loveliest Of The Plains
lots Of Sun But Ho Sand
Loveliest Pam Stewart is fresh off the sunny beaches of
Florida and anxious to swing into the fall party season.
Pam, a native of Deland, Fla., is a 5 ft. 4 in., green-eyed
blonde junior majoring in Clothes Design. The 20-year-old
beauty is a member of Pi Beta Phi and lives in Dorm 7.
The new School of Busi­ness,
which includes the
entire business administra­tion
curriculum, went into
operation in Tichenor Hall
at the beginning of the
quarter.
Dr. Ellsworth H. Steele
is the acting dean until the
permanent dean. Dr. O. C.
Turner, arrives.
Dr. Steele said that Turner
will probably take office
about April 8.
The two schools are sharing
adjoining offices in Tichenor
Hall until the Science and
Literature school moves into
Annie Mell Hall.
"The School of Science
and Literature will probably
change locations about the
end of October," Steele said.
"The principal moving delay
is the furniture for Mell Hall,
which has been ordered, but
has not arrived."
1,750 STUDENTS
Dr. Steele estimates that
about 1,750 students will be
under the jurisdiction of the
new school. This will place it
among the largest schools at
Auburn,
"We can't be sure which
school will be larger, Science
and Literature or Business,
but I would say they will run
a close race for third and
fourth largest," Gerald S.
Leischuck, institutional re­search
officer, said. "But we
won't know for sure until the
exact figures are in."

Registration Termed
'Deplorable,Pathetic'
Fall registration conditions were termed "pathetic" by a
university official this week, and fuming students agreed
wholeheartedly.
"We are not attempting to defend the conditions," said
Dr. Wilbur A. Tincher, director of educational services and
head of the Registration committee. "They were deplorable.
The heat was unbearable, both to the stu­dents
and the workers. It was just pathe­tic."
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
last week thousands of students swarmed
into the Sports Arena "hot box" to regis­ter.
As heat rose and lines lengthened,
anger grew and tempers flared.
Although computers had worked efficiently
in arranging schedules, some students had
to stand in line as long as eight hours to
register.
"This whole situation wasthe ultimate in the ridiculous,"
one angry student said. "It was like the fad of packing
college students into a telephone booth, only on a larger
s c a l e - 'WORSE EVERY TIME'
"I've been here three years and it gets worse every
time," a coed said after standing in lines for about six
hours.
"It was terrible, just terrible," said another student.
Many explanations have been offered for the difficulties.
"This was our first experience with computer registra­tion
during fall quarter," Dr. Tincher said. "We needed
more time to pick up schedules and pay fees. We just didn't
know how long it would take to process the students in the
Sports Arena."
"The Sports Arena does not lend itself to the same
traffic control we have had before," he said. "Many stu­dents
were in line before their specified time-many so they
could get identification cards for football tickets. There
was not enough room for the students, much less additional
workers "
STUDENTS CONFUSED
Many students were confused by some wording on the
registration procedures. In one case, many students were
unable to decide whether they were "students" or "men
and women."
"We would hate to bring the students back five or six
days ahead of time and lose the advantage department
heads have by knowing what is needed before students
arrive," Dr. Tincher said. "But we just can't afford to
have another registration like this."
Tincher pointed out that additional time was required
to register for Glomerata pictures, make identification
cards, take out insurance, and fill out other forms exclusive
to fall quarter.
"Even so, registration was not fair to students or work-

Report Published
On Project '67
By JOE LEHMAN
News Editor
A report on "Project '67," an intensive analysis and
study of the Auburn academic program, was published
last month.
"The report will be read, debated and discussed ex­tensively
during the next few months," said Pres.
Harry M. Philpott last week.
"Once additional com­ments
and reports from
students, faculty and ad­ministration
are synthe­sized,
specific recommen­dations
will be implemented
into the academic program by
next year," added Philpott.
The program was under
the direction of Dr. W.S.
Bailey, vice president for
Academic Affairs. Bailey be­lieves
that the study was
justified by "the great con­cern
about the quality of
higher education at this cru­cial
point in human history."

and Revision of Courses and

points to an urgent need

The study, begun in De­cember

English Department To Find, Help Deficient Students
Composition Program Proposed
By BOB SIMS
News Editor
A program designed to correct student
deficiencies in English composition will
be initiated winter quarter by the English
department.
A letter from Dr. Wilford S. Bailey,
vice-president for academic affairs, will
be sent to the faculty next week intro­ducing
the program.
Under the new program, if a professor
in any department of the university finds
a student weak in English, he may report
that deficiency on the student's grade
sheet by writing "composition condition
(CC)" on the grade sheet in the remarks
column. A "CC" notation in no way
affects the grade earned for the course.
If a student is reported "composition
condition," he will be required to take a
standardized test to be given by . the
English Department. His performance on
the test will determine whether or not he
will require additional no-credit training
in composition.
Details of the program, including the
exact nature of the test and the addition­al
training, will be worked out this quar­ter
by a faculty committee.
The program is intended to encourage
better English usage among potential
graduates who have completed'their basic
English requirements but who have grown
deficient in composition ability.
Basic English requirements vary with
curriculum, but to be eligible for the pro­gram
a student must have completed the
courses required in his curriculum from
the following list: 101, 102, 103, 104,
108, 253. 254.
English Department Head Dr. Walton
R. Patrick emphasized that the instructor
will not be judging a student's proficiency
in English when he notes a "composition
condition." The instructor will merely be
recommending that the student's profi­ciency
be examined by the English De­partment.
Students who fail the proficiency exam­ination
will be required to attend for no
credit an English composition laboratory
to remove the "CC" notation from their
grade record. No student may graduate
who has the deficiency notation on his
record.
Each time a student's name appears on
the deficiency list, he will be required to
participate in the proficiency program
even though he may have participated to
remove an earlier "CC" notation.
The "CC" may be removed from a stu-„
dent's record only by recommendation of
the director of the program, Prof. Jack
D. Durant.
"The truly significant feature of the
program," said Patrick, "is not simply
that it will identify students weak in
composition so that they can receive
further training; rather the important effect
it will have is that of encouraging able
students to improve and develop their
abilities in composition."

"But in the event the field
house is not available, the
possibility of mail-out regis'
tration will be explored fully
by the Registration Commit­tee,"
he said.
A similar mail-in system of
fee payment was used this
fall on many incoming fresh­men.
Evaluations of the sys­tem
are being made and a re­port
will be submitted to the
Registration Committee from
the Bursar's Office within two
or three weeks, according to
Ernest A. Phillips, assistant
bursar.
If the system were put into
use, students would receive
their schedules by mail, and
would verify that they were
coming back to shcool, verify
the assigned courses and pay
fees by mail.
If the card pulling method
were reinstated, a larger re­gistration
facility would be
needed. Suggested locations
have i n c l u d e d the Union
Building, Biggin Hall, the Stu­dent
Activities Building, the
Commons Building, and the
Draughon Library.
The library has been used
in the past but it is not avail­able
at this time. In a Nov. 22,
1966 memorandum President
Philpott gave the Registration
Committee permission to use
the library through last win­ter's
registration but instruct­ed
them to "give continued
planning to the registration
procedures in order that it will
not be necessary to use the
library after this (Winter '67)."
Library officials have op-,
posed using the building for
registration, claiming that it
is detrimental t o t h e build­ing's
upkeep.
"I see no n e e d for us to
change from spring quarter's
prodedure in this winter's re­gistration,"
Dr. Tincher said.
"Fee payment is spread out
over an extended period of
time. We used Commons during
spring and summer quarters
and it worked out satisfactori­ly.

ers," he said. "Our basic
problem was that we attempt­ed
to process too many per­sons
in the time allotted for
the available p h y s i c al
space."
He said that many stu­dents
have put the blame on
computers, but that the com­puters
"worked beautifully."
Fall registration figures
revealed that of 11,745 stu­dents
using computer regis­tration,
78 per cent were
assigned schedules exactly
as requested. It further show­ed
that of 58,478 courses re­quested,
41,416, or 70.8 per
cent, were assigned.

Bids lost. . .
rush.
"The only thing we know
is that the cards were not
sorted when they they came
through the computer," said
Ben Smith, Sigma Chi pres­ident,
"and the bids were
scattered all through the
deck."
FIRST ERROR
"This is the first time this
has happened to us," said
IFC President McMillan. "We
think the mistake came in the
punching of the cards at the
computer center."
The error was discovered
about 30 minutes after the
cards were given out, when
the first three boys in line who
expected a Sigma Chi bid did
not receive one. They then
went to the Sigma Chi frater­nity
house to find out what
had happened. However, about
75 boys had a l r e a d y gone
through the line before cor­rective
action was taken.
"It was unfortunate that this
happened. In the future we are
going to have to d e v e l o p a
better system of checking to
insure that this does not occur
again," stated McMillan. "Ray
Farrish, who does our program­ming
for us each year, s a id
that he could not explain the
matter."
"We explained to t h o se
rushers involved what happen­ed
and I don't think there are
any hard feelings. There are
usually three mistakes per fra­ternity
each year," added
McMillan.
"Three boys were lost,"
stated Smith, "and it definite­ly
hurt us. At our banquet we
gave verbal bids to 40 boys.
After the confusion, we ended
up with 35 pledges."
In spite of the mix-up, Mc­Millan
had nothing but praise
for Farrish and Bill McGhee,
who were in charge.
"They did an outstanding
job for u s , " said McMillan,
"but the pledge list will be
delayed about a week."

so that changes in the

at least through the
second year, can be made
with a minimum loss of credit
and time."
Part two of "Project "67"
is subtitled "Evaluation and
Improvement of the Teaching-learning
Process." This part
examines ways to improve
and to increase the sense of
mutual responsibility of both
faculty andstudentsto engage
in an "active and meaningful
educational experience."
Seven student-faculty com-mittees
"have made rigorous
studies of several aspects of
the instructional program and
recommended action they be-liev
e will lead to an improve­ment
in the quality of in­struction,"
Bailey said.
Faculty and students are
urged to consider the recom­mendations
of Project '67 and
to present any constructive
ideas to Littleton, assistant
dean of the Graduate School.
Littleton is available for dis­cussion
of the report with
individuals or groups in the

are the largest of Auburn's ten
undergraduate schools.
The Business School will
contain several departments
formerly i n c l u d e d in the
School of Science and Litera­ture.
"We will have the complete
Business Administration mo­del
within the school," Steele
said. "We will also continue
to provide the instructors for
economics majors within the
School of Science and Litera­ture."
Steele said that three prin­cipal
f i e l d s of s t u d y -
economics, geography, and
secretarial administratioh,-
will be included within the
new school.
He said that courses within
the Business Administration
curriculum in the new school
will include accounting, per­sonnel,
labor, finance, statis­tics,
management, and eco­nomics.
The School of Science and
Literature picked up the de­partment
of sociology which
had previously been included
in the Business Administra­tion
department.
REASONS
Dr. Steele said that there
were many reasons for sepa­rating
the two schools.

Steele said. "Most colleges
have a business school with
a separate identity. Our ew
school will help us in faculty
recruiting and in serving stu­dents
and the state at large."
"As a separate unit, the
Business School will be con­sidered
more favorably for ac­creditation
by the American
Association of Colleges of
Business," S t e e l e said.
"Professional people will be
more anxious to work for an ]
accredited school."
""'e will also be able to
approach industry and organi-zat
onsmore directly," Steele
said. "This will allow us to'
improve services to the stu­dents
and help them when
they go into the business
world."
DIRECT ACCESS
Steele said that another
major advantage would be
direct access to top university
officials as a separate school,
rather than as a department
within another school.
The school's main problem
has been "finding courses,
rooms, and teachers for the
students," Steele said.
He said that many students
were unaware that they were
under authority of the School
of Business, but the school
attempted to inform many of
them of the change during the
summer.
"We had an orientation
meeting this summer for all
transfer students and incoming
freshmen and we explained
the school separation at that
time," Steele said. "We also
sent letters to all business
students who made the Science
and Literature dean's list."
"All students in curricu-lums
covered by the School of
Business were registered in
our school this fall and had
their forms stamped by u s ,"
Steele said.
ELECTION PLANNED
Student government leaders
are making plans for election
of officers to represent the
school in student government.
Steele said that plans for
the school had been developed
specifically over the last
year and were made effective
this fall. The new school has
operated under a separate
budget since July 1, but re­mained
a department in the
Science and Literature School
until Sept. 1.
"We are working with other
department in developing co­operation
with Air University
in Montgomery on a new Mas­ter's
Degree program," Steele
said. "We feel that we can
really get going on such pro­gress
with our school now."
"We have an excellent
leader coming in April," he
said. "We feel that the sky's
the limit for us now."

Auto Registration
Equals 1966 Total
By CHRIS WHEELER
About the same number of
vehicles have, been regis­tered
with the campus police
as were registered last fall.
Chief Security Officer, Millard
E. Dawson, said that 5,331
automobiles had been regis­tered
by 10 a.m. Monday.
Dawson said that he felt a
number of students had either
neglected or postponed ve­hicle
registration.
Dawson said that most
traffic violations stem from
either failing to register a
vehicle or failing to observe
proper zone restrictions after
the vehicle has been regis­tered.
Fines vary from $1 per
zone violation to $25 for
having an unregistered ve­hicle
in Auburn. These fines
increase with each successive
violation and a persistent
violator could be suspended.

VARIETY OF PEOPLE
According to the blonde Phi Mu from Birmingham, her job

"One of the nicest things about being a 'stew' is that
the variety of people you meet is so unusual," Anne said.
"For instance, I met a 14-year-old boy who was flying to
his home in California after taking mountain climbing les­sons
in Switzerland for six weeks.
"On another flight," Anne continued, "I met a',nice>old.
couple from Milwaukee. They wanted me to spend the night
with them and wanted to show me around personally to make
sure I got a good impression of their city."
Anne received a box of candy from one couple because
she made sure things were more than comfortable for their
three-month-old baby on a flight.
"Of all the people that fly, the military are our favorite,"
Anne said. "They're the nicest people we have on flights.
They never give us trouble and sometimes help us serve
meals. I gave them junior pilot's wings when they got
off the plane."
LURLEEN AND SOUTHERN ACCENT
Conversations between the pretty stewardess and passen­gers
usually wound up along the same lines, in Anne's per­spective,
at least.
"Most of the passengers asked about the Negro situation
and Lurleen Wallace when they found I was from the South,"
Anne recalled. "My southern accent gave me away, and
was very popular on the microphone system. Everybody got
a good laugh out of it."
Though Anne couldn't learn to conceal her accent, she
was taught many other things in her five and a half week
training period in Chicago the first of the summer.
In class from eight to five, with a curfew at ten, Anne
received thorough and exact training. "The passengers ex­pect
you to know everything about a plane, even to the lit­tle
blue dot on the wing, so a stewardess has to be 'well
educated on the basic make-up of all six types of planes that
United flies," Anne explained.
A large part of her training was in emergency procedures,
which included a live "fright flight" that stayed in the air
three hours. "They simulate everything that could happen
in a plane," Anne said. "We even had a period of weight­lessness.
"They tell you to think before each flight that you're
going to crash," she continued. "We had to know exactly
what to do in case we crashed-they drilled it into us.
You'd be surprised how fast it all comes back to you, just
thinking about procedures before take-off."
According to Anne, safety precautions are. the first and

NOVICE STEWARDESS
After her training was over, Anne was based in Denver
and began her first flying. Being a novice "stew," she had
some anxious moments.
"The worst thing was serving liquor," she said. "I had
no experience in mixing drinks. I didn't even know ;whether
to put a cherry or an olive in a drink. The first time I got
an order for a 'screwdriver,' I started to head for the tool
box.
"Carrying two trays at once took some time to learn, and
kids playing in the aisle was another thing I had to ;cope
with, too."
These troublesome experiences were well covered,
though, by the pay scale. The base pay of a stewardess av­erages
around $300 a month plus $7.50 an hour for anything
over 70 hours of flying time.
Although being paid well, Anne has something more to
remember than financial rewards. She made trips to the Air
Force Academy and Yellowstone National Park during; her
off hours and saw the inside of the Chicago Playboy Club
more than once during her summer.
Anne will also remember two humorous incidents that
happened to her while in the air.
"I spilled a cup of coffee on this man who was six feet
four and had a beard," Anne remembered. "He was sort of
odd anyway, and he was just sitting there letting the coffee
drip on his pants. I reacted before I thought and grabbed
his leg to pull it away from the dripping coffee. The other
passengers really enjoyed it, but I was terribly embarras­sed.
"Another time I had been blowing up balloons for the
kids on the plane when the landing signs came on. I ran
down the aisle with an armful of balloons and got to a jump
seat, which was operated by springs. I noticed an unbuck­led
seat belt and started down the aisle to help when I
heard balloons popping behind me. I had put them down and
they burst when the jump seat flew up against the wall."
Anne's obligation to United Airlines this fall will be to
talk to different groups on campus and promote the idea of
becoming a stewardess.
She plans to fly next summer, and possibly after she grad­uates
a year from January.
Until then, she won't be able to find out about another
little bit of information she picked up this summer.
"There are 50 per cent less divorces among steward­esses
than in other professions."

Wallace, Hill
And Election Options
By Iran Nichols
Former Gov. George C. Wallace may have
an election option next year.
Newsweek magazine reported this week that Sen. Lister Hill
is not expected to seek re-election in 1968, and, of course,
Wallace could be the leading candidate for the post if such
a situation materialized.

The Registration Mess
• A mixture of success and failure
I during last week's registration con-j
fusion should prompt the registration
,; committee to move forward rapidly
I with plans for registration through
I the mail.
I The success was the computer.
" The percentage of compliances with
course requests was completely sat­isfactory.
The failures, strangely enough,
came in familiar aspects of registra­tion,
procedures which have been
followed numerous times. There were
bottlenecks where students were re­quired
to complete fee payment, regis­tration
forms, selective service forms,
ID card forms, and insurance forms.
All of these forms can be handled
through the mail. ID pictures, of
course, might require more than mail
service.
Even if the entire process cannot
be completed through the mail by next
fall, efforts should be made to handle
as many of the routine forms through
the mail as possible. Completion of
registration here on campus would be
that much easier and quicker.
Then, the processes which require
students to stand in line should be
more adequately planned and provided
for.
Until the process can be handled
completely in the mail, fall registra­tion
should have priority over every
campus activity.
The most suitable building on cam­pus
should be used-whether that be
the library or the new coliseum.
Enough time should be allowed the
student body to finish registration,
whether that be two days or a week, to
avoid unnecessary and unpleasant
crowding.
Registration should be adapted to
the people involved, not vice versa.
Does Wallace harbor any
ambitions for the Senate?
Would he neglect a possible
spoiler's role in the next
presidential election to seek
a Senate seat?
He might. But an analysis
of his present position, his
political personality, and
his past performances sug­gests
otherwise.
Wallace has a base in the
governor's office which he
will be eligible to maintain
in the next gubernatorial
election in 1970. There is
no reason to suspect that he
could be ousted.
Wallace relishes the exer­cise
of real power. With
control of the governor's
chair, he has that power.
In the senate, without the
favor of an administration of
his own party, Wallace could
expect to wield little power.
Indeed, he would stand to
lose his power in state
affairs, being far away and
being occupied by national
affairs.
Certainly, if he is sincere,
his goals for Alabama have
not been fulfilled. If he were
to relinquish control of the
governor's chair, he could
not expect to attain these
goals from the Senate.
And even though Alabama
voters permitted Mrs. Wallace
to stand in for her husband,
Wallace would have diffi­culty
convincing the elector­ate,
if he wanted to attempt
such a ridiculous undertaking,
that he could handle both
jobs adequately.
In addition, successful
senators are patient negotia­tors,
good listeners as well
as talkers. Wallace is not.
He is a giver of orders, not
given to quiet negotiations
land indirect action which re­quire
concessions. Wallace
would not enjoy a position
in which he could not control
his immediate associates.
These considerations are
all somewhat speculative,
however. Wallace has shown
that for him nothing is im­probable,
and little is impos­sible,
in Alabama politics,
and he might conceivably
ignore vall these considera­tions.
More likely to stand in the
way of a Wallace Senate can­didacy
is, of course, his
presidential race. He is com­mitted
to proving a point in
that race, and he has left
little doubt that he definitely
intends to run.
But here again, the official
announcement has not been
made and the elections are
a full year away. At this
point, as Governor Romney's
sudden difficulties have
graphically proved, nothing
in the presidential picture
is certain.
If indeed Hill is consider­ing
retirement after this
term, these thoughts and
other assessments of Wallace
will affect his decision.
The Senator is a national
democrat, loyal to the na­tional
party. His seat is
important in maintaining the
position of Alabama loyalists
against the onslaught of
dissident Wallace Democrats.
Before he makes any re­tirement
announcement, giving
Wallace an option on the
Democratic nomination for
his seat, Hill will be reason­ably
certain that Wallace will
not exercise the option.

Rush: The Fourth Time Around
Justice Hugo Black:
'South Is In A Cave'
By Charles Bentley
We milled through the gaping: tourists-the
"fat ladies in sneakers, the camera-clicking
amateurs who were busily photographing everything in sight,
the crying babies, the bored children, and the curious stu­dents.
It could have been a sports event or a carnival, but we
were in the United States Supreme Court Building and almost
late for our appointment with
For the fourth time now we have
witnessed what some Greeks call the
life-blood of the fraternity system,
organized rush.
And the process still looks ridicu­lous.
At best, fraternity rush is largely
an exercise in misinformation; and at
worst it is cut-throat competition be­tween
fraternities which results in
rule violations and the trampling of
the spirit of the fraternity system.
Fraternities could do much better.
In all fairness to Steve McMillan
and the Interfratemity Council, they
did a commendable job of organizing.
Improvements were made in the pro­cess.
A rush advisor system was ini­tiated
and was a real service to
rushees. A fraternity man was made
responsible for advising a group of
rushees during rush-and each rush
advisor had a small group so that
adequate attention could be given
each rushee.
A new initial contact system for
inviting rushees back for additional,
visits was tried and found to be un­satisfactory.
Modifications are in the
mill for next year.
Despite some difficulties with the
schedule, the computer, and the rush­ees
living outside Magnolia Dormi­tories,
the major problem was not
organization, but attitude.
Too often fraternities allowed hard
feelings for each other to surface.
Friendly competition is good and can
foster the system, but talking another
fraternity down to a rushee does no
one in the system good.
Several fraternities were guilty of
rule violations. All were not caught,
of course; but the Greek system suf­fered
as much from the secret viola­tions
as from the exposed ones.
And the methods which some fra­ternities
used to attract prospective
members are misguided. Intelligent
groups are learning that the best rush
is not the wettest rush or the most
expensive rush or the rush with the
biggest name entertainment or the
rush with the most risque attractions.
Rushees no longer need fraternities
as much as they did in the past. They
can find a good place to live, social
activity, and a good meal outside the
fraternity house. They can afford to
be more discriminating.
As a group, rushees are more
mature than in the past and less
likely to make a hurried decision. A
wild time seldom wows a top rushee
into early pledging.
He will look instead for quality
which does not usually include "dirty
rush" and does not necessarily ac­company
expensive entertainment.
The better fraternity knows this and
is adjusting to the changing time
Those fraternities who do not are in
that class which causes Greek critics
to say "fraternities will soon die."
Justice Hugo L. Black.
The guard led us through a,
gate in the back of the build­ing,
and suddenly, the noise
of the o u t s i d e world was
gone, and the impressiveness
and importance of the Court
came to bear as we surveyed
the doors on which the names
of nine of the most influen­tial
men of our time are ins­cribed.
All the doors were
closed except one at the end
of the hall, so we walked in
with red clay on our shoes,
dripping water on the thick,
green carpet. We had run
three or four blocks through
the rain after an unsuccessful
attempt to catch a cab. It had
been a t i r i n g job from the
Longworth Congressional
Building, past the Capitol,
the Library of Congress, and
finally up the steps of the
Supreme Court Building. Jus­tice
Black's secretary gave
us towels to dry ourselves.
She also gave us a few min­utes
to catch our breath be­fore
seeing Justice Black.
We entered his very plain
office, and there he sat in a
dark suit and narrow, dark
tie, peering at us through bi­focals,
and shuffling through
the p i l e of papers on h is
desk/ It is difficult to con­ceive
of this quiet, reflective
81-year-old man as one of the
most controversial figures of
the twentieth century. The of­fice
was dark, except for the
cluttered desk-the Justice
had three reading lamps fo­cused
in front of him. (He
recently had another opera­tion
to remove cataracts.)
Through the window in back
of the desk we could see the
downpour of rain. In this
setting, the Justice could
have passed for a grandfather
relaxing before supper with
his grandchildren.
He eased out of his chair,
slowly moved to the side of
his desk, and shook hands
with each of us. Justice
Brack is a relatively small
man, bald, with a relaxed but
firm handshake, and a reas­suring
smile. As we were
seated, he began to quiz us
individually. "Bentley is
your name? I know some
Bentleys in Goodwater..."
He raced nimbly through
names, occupations, and
events, and then turned to
Steve. "McMillan from Troy
...don't know any McMil­lans."
He asked a few ques­tions
about Troy and then
turned to Jimmy, whose an­cestry
is Old South. "Fuller
...yes, I remember plenty of
Fullers..." Justice Black
stumbled over Larry Mene-fee'snameafew

Professionalism
By Lyn Scarbrough
A newspaper is a joining of effoits.
minds, sacrifices, and abilities.
I learned this strikingly as a staff writer-intern for the Bir­mingham
News this summer.
At the News, as on almost all large successful dailies, each
person works individually, but each helps the other. Each has
a job to do and does it, un- photographers and copy read-tiringly,
until itiscompleted.
Newsmen and women are
unique. To them the "rag
sheet" you buy on the street
for ten cents is something
special.
These people are not 8 to
5 drudges; they are profes­sionals.
There is a big dif­ference.
The average newsman is as
conscientious in reporting
facts accurately as a bank
teller is in cashing a check
correctly.
Certainly newspapers-like
everyone else-makemistakes.
There are typographical mis­takes
and misspelled names
and factual errors. But it is
a miracle that with deadline
pressure and the fantastic
volume of copy, more mis­takes
are not made.
And certainly no one hates
each error more than the
newsman, and no one could
try harder to see that they
are corrected.
Sacrifice is commonplace.
Working hours do not exist
when big news breaks.
I saw a vivid example this
summer when rioting broke
out in Birmingham. It was
Saturday night. Only a skele­ton
staff was scheduled to
work. It was the day off for
most staffers.
Most veteran reporters had
been at home, watching tele­vision
or sleeping. One young
writer had planned an out-of-town
trip. Another had been
at a drive-in movie.
But they came willingly,
of their own accord. So did
ers and pressmen
An outdoor writer took sto­ries
from a city hall reporter
who was in the riot-torn sec­tion.
An inexperienced staffer
stayed with the national guard
as they suited for action.
The bosses coordinated
efforts while answering
phones to take dictated sto­ries,
like the lowliest cub
reporter. Education reporters,
medical reporters, police
reporters-everyone pitched
in.
It was a night-long vigil.
While others slept, these
people slaved.
"This is one hell of a way
to make a living," one writer
said. But he wouldn't have
traded places with anyone.
But the result was com­plete,
thorough, on-the-scene
pictorial news coverage which
was laying on the public's
.doorstep early Sunday morn­ing.
This business takes dedi­cation.
It requires sincerity.
It demands sacrifice.
Writers are often criticized,
and seldom praised. They
work while others rest on
Christmas and Thanksgiving
and Labor Day. Their pay
won't buy Cadillacs. Hours
are often irregular.
• But the newsman's job has
its own reward. To see that
paper come out day after day,
informing the public, and rea­lize
that you did even the
smallest part to make it so,
is the most rewarding experi­ence
I know.
like to have named after him
at Auburn and if he would
come to the campus in 1972.
"Everybody wants me to
speak." he chuckled. "Any­body
can make a speech.
People want me to write arti­cles
also. That's what I'm
doing now. My wife tells me
to go ahead. By the way, her
son went to Auburn."
Leaning back in his chair,
the Justice reflected that he
had spoken at Auburn many
years ago. The subject of his
speech had been one of Pla­to's
parables from the Repub­lic.
According to this para­ble,
several prisoners were
chained to the floor of a
cave; they had been there
since childhood, in a sitting
position, and could not move
their heads. They stared at
the wall in front of them. Be­hind
them, on a ledge, was a
fire in front of which objects
were paraded. There was a
small opening behind the
prisoners through which came
diffused sunlight. To the pri­soners,
the only real things
were the shadows of the ob­jects
which they saw on the
wall in front of them. The
sad part of the parable is that
these people did not wish to
leave the cave. They did not
wish to confront truth and
reality because they were
afraid.
"This," said J u s t i ce
Black, "is the situation the
South is in. Some people en­joy
living in a cave. I will
never live to see the South
leave its cave, but I think
you will."

Joke Tide

By DovW HoeseJ
Reprinted from
The Birmingham News
One of the more popular
;Auburn jokes making the
rounds is about a funeral
iprocession led by a tractor
'with its lights on, but it was
not an Auburn procession as
most people believe.
It was a University of Ala­bama
pro­cession.

Maybe Au­burn
should straighten them

of emphasis you know).
Word is circulating that
Auburn had to stop celebrat­ing
Christmas.
The reason?
They couldn't find a wise
man on campus.
Apparently some poor Ala­bama
man got the joke back­wards.
The average ACT
score for the entering Auburn
freshman is 23.2 and 22.47
for the Alabama student.
(These figures were released
by the respective schools.)
Auburn has the reputation
of being a cow college. If
that's the case, pig parlors
might be mighty expensive
since Auburn has $20 million
of construction in progress
while Alabama has only $14.1
million.
Auburn had 12,643 students
in the fall of 1966 *nd only
871 of these students were
enrolled in agriculture and
related sciences-and you /
can bet they weren't learning *
how to plow a furrow since j

science. •
Alabama had only 11,975 j
students on the Tuscaloosa \
campus in the fall of 1966. j
Crimson Tiders like to count
their extension centers in
their total enrollment, but
Auburn doesn't count its
extension people in 67 coun­ties.
Alabama has to be first
in something besides football.
Alabama has maintained a
superiority over Auburn on
the football field the past 10
years, with seven victories
against three losses, but the
over-all sports programs
(football, basketball, track,
wrestling, golf, and baseball)
shows Auburn holding a 46-25
margin the past 10 years.
(In case you are wondering,
the figures were supplied by
the Auburn Athletic Depart­ment-
Alabama was "too
busy with football" to figure
them.)
A lot of people say that
Alabama's Alcoholics Anony­mous
chapter is larger than
the student body; that a num­ber
of doctorates are awarded
in underwater basketweaving
at Alabama, and the country
club dues amount to more
than the tuition for a semes­ter.
I couldn't vouch for those
statements since the figures
I have used were given by;
the respective schools. Au­burn
jokes seem to be trailing '
off now days and Alabama i
jokes are getting more popu­lar.
Keep a sharp ear for the
good Alabama jokes-they
are coming. After all, there's!
so much good material down)
at the Capstone.

the latest Alabama joke?]
The one that starts with the!
question, "Do you know wha]

Rather than provoke furthel
debate, it might be better
that the answer not appear!

much trouble finding someone!
who can give you the answer.
Sgf. Pepper And The World . . .
Campus Critic
mxzmmm, By M e toftto^saw^w
If today's college genera­tion
achieves nothing of his­torical
significance in their
tenure as custodians of the
world, they will at least be
credited as the sympathetic
audience which allowed and
encouraged the development
of what may prove to be the
most important literary hap­pening
since Wordsworth
and Coleridge pro-duced
Lyrical Ballads-the
Beatles.
They are that good; or at
least "Sergeant Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band" is
that good. Its arrival was the
literary event of the "ear,
with most of the literate lean­ing
popular press (Time, The
New Yorker, etc.) reviewing
the record. Interpretations of
meaning varied, but all agreed
that with Sergeant Pepper the
rock-and-roll of Bill Haley's
Comets had at least come of
age, and holds promise of be­coming
an important art form
as well as a vehicle for so­cial
commentary.
What has made Sergeant
Pepper so important is its
radical departure in subject
matter, structure and theme
from anything the Beatles or
anyone else has done before.
They have eschewed commer­cial
success for artistic suc­cess,
and have created an
album that is more than just
a collection of singles, but
a single itself. They were no
doubt pleased that their arti-ness
also brought them their
greatest commercial success-
1.8 million copies sold in the
first two weeks.
The Beatles have dealt be­fore
with the subjects of Ser­geant
Pepper-the hard reali­ties
of sometimes unusual
but always believable people
of today's society. With Ser­geant
Pepper, however, they
have utilized all their re­sources—
musical, lyrical and
electronic-to produce an ex­tensive
and unified commen­tary
on people and society.
It is a collection of seem­ingly
unrelated vignettes
which ultimately become re­lated
through a central theme-a
very meaningful theme.
Announcing a theme in a
i rock-and-roll album may well
be grounds for ridicule, but
the conclusion is unavoidable.
Hidden beneath the hard rock
beat, the wild instruments,
the humor, the psychedelic
lyrics, the electronic wizard­ry,
and the general air of enter­tainment,
is a dead serious
theme. Because the songs are
impressions of society drawn
by the Beatles, the theme is
really a statement of their
own outlook on life. It is a
humorous and uncynical
statement of the good and the
bad aspects of life with the
unavoidable conclusion that
for the majority life is very
bad indeed.
There are some people who
try to escape through drugs
or unreality-as in "With A
Little Help From My Friends"
or "I'm Fixing a Hole."Yer
the majority live lives of
shallow meaninglessness-
Mr. Kite, the parents in
"She's Leaving Home," Rita
and her lover. Pragmatists
think it's "Getting Better,"
but philosophers know that
life is "Within You and With­out
You." Nevertheless for
a member of the middle class
majority things are bad and
he doesn't even know it. His
ultimate death announced in
"Good Morning, Good Morn­ing":
'nothing to do to save
his life.'
Sergeant Pepper is only
the latest product of the
steadily developing Beatles.
They will do different and
better things. Yet Sergeant
Pepper may be their most im-porfant
work, for it marks a
definite change towards work
of greater size and subtlety.
For those who doubt their im-portance-
when has a major
poet reached two million peo­ple
in two weeks? And what
is the difference in the theme
of Eliot's "Waste Land" and
"Sergeant Pepper's Lonely j
Hearts Club Band?"

Beard, Books, Reviews
Dr. Brittin Honored
By Hollifield Fund
The only professor on
the Auburn campus to wear
a beard is neither a beatnik
nor a hippie, but the newly
appointed Hollifield Profes-sor
of English Literature.
He is Dr. Norman Brittin
whose second book has just
been published. He has two
grown sons and projects
the Papa Hemingway image
rather than the Now Gener­ation.
He just doesn't like
to be bothered with shav­ing.
The Hollifield Professor­ship
was made possible by
the Hal Hollifield Fund set
up through provisions in the
will of Mrs. Molly Hollifield
Jones, Auburn philanthropist.
Mrs. Hollifield J o n e s , for
whom the Auburn city library
was named, was intensely
concerned over the employ­ment
and retention of highly
qualified teachers, particular­ly
regarding the "instruction
and research in English litera­ture,
creative w r i t i n g and
Southern history." Income
from the fund is also to be
used "to improve the facili-ties
of the university library
on these subjects."
Brittin, who had been per­sonally
acquainted with Mrs.
Hollifield Jones both socially
and professionally,is the first
professor to receive distinct­ion.
The professorship is for
three years, s u b j e c t to re­newal,
according to Dr. W. R.
Patrick, English department
head, through whom the an­nouncement
was made.
Dr. Brittin's "Edna St. Vin­cent
Millay"has just been re­leased
in Twayne's United
States Authors Series. De­voted
to the works, biography
and criticism of Millay, the
book represents the poet as a
"radical humanist... a roman­tic
poet full of irony and
satire, and comparable to
Byron as a mixture of heart
and head."
Brittin himself was "once a
poet-but no more." He was
"seething with phrases," he
says, "but poetry is a young
person's business," and he
no longer feels a compulsion
to e x p r e s s himself in this
way. .
The Shakespearean authori­ty
has also written a compo­sition
text, "A Writing Ap-renticeship,"
which was first
published in 1963 and which
he is currently revising. It is
primarily for freshmen and is
"based on a theory of imita­tion."
Dr. Brittin hopes to finish
another in the Twayne series
on Thomas Middleton, Jacob­ean
dramatist. He is also in­terested
in finishing a book
centered around the "Ridolfi
plot" of 1570-72, involving
Mary, Queen of Scots.
As well as teaching senior
and graduate students, Brit­tin
is co-editor of the Southern
Humanities Review, a new
quarterly published at Auburn.
The journal represents all
areas of the humanities. "We
get lots of poems and a few
stories. We still need good
pieces in art and music," the
editor says.
Born in S y r a c u s e , N. Y.,
Brittin received the bachelor's
and master's degrees from
Syracuse University. He at­tended
the U n i v e r s i t y of
Southern California, the Uni­versity
of California at Berke­ley,
and received the Ph.D
degree from the University of
Washington. He was a Ford
Fellow at Columbia and Har­vard,
studying history and
philosophy.
Brittin was on the Auburn
faculty for 14 years before
going to the University of
Puerto Rico in 1962. He re­turned
to Auburn last year.
Like Picasso, Brittin has
had h i s " p i n k and blue
periods"-in hobbies. He once
hiked. He was once a vigorous
square dancer. And he not
only played, but at times
taught the recorder an ancient
musical instrument of the flute
type-more at home on college
campuses than discotheques.
So you're chairman
in charge of
building the float,
decorating the house,
dressing up the party...
Now what?
Get flame-resistant Pomps. You can do all kinds of decorating
jobs with Pomps and do them better, easier, faster . . . and
more beautifully. Pomps are economical, too, and ready to use
. . . cut to the size you need and available in 17 beautiful colors
that are virtually colorfast when wet. Use them for indoor or
outdoor decorations. Ask your local librarian for the booklet
"Tips on How to Build Better Floats and Displays." If she
doesn't have it, tell her to write us for a copy.

Broun Papers
To University
The personal papers and
letters of the late Dr. Wil­liam
Leroy Broun have
been presented to the Uni­versity
by Leroy Broun
Ordway of Birmingham,
grandson of the noted
southern educator who was
Auburn's president for 20
years.
President Harry M. Phil-pott,
in accepting the col­lection,
termed it as one of
major historical significance.
"Dr. Broun was a great pio­neer
in shaping the educa­tional
philosophy upon which
many of our leading southern
universities are built. That
philosophy was developed
through his acute awareness
of the South's needs in its
recovery from the Civil War,
but the principles are just as
applicable to our present
time.
"It is with sincere pride
and appreciation that we
place these important docu
ments among our permanent
archives where they will be
available to scholars and
historiaris,M Dr. Philpott
said.
The Broun collection which
is now in the archives de­partment
in the Ralph Brown
Draughon Library contains
personal and family corres­pondence
dating from 1844-
19 02, Dr. Broun's profession­al
correspondence as an edu­cator
and scientist, and
personal correspondence with
relatives during the Civil
War.

jHiring Cargiler$ 22 Years
'From Barracks... ,
.. .To A University
Roy C. Cargile has
watched Auburn change from
a campus of dilapidated
army barracks to a modern
university with up-to-date
facilities.
Auburn's Bursar since
1945, Cargile retires in Octo­ber
after 22 years of collect­ing
fees from students. In a
recent interview he was asked
to look back on the past two
rde c a d e s and point out the
changes Auburn has under­gone.
"Registration was far worse
in 1945 than it is now," he
noted. "Students used to
bring mattresses and sleep in
Samford Hall in order to get a
good place in line the next
day. They would be lined up
four or five abreast from the
main gate to the basement of
Langdon Hall where fees were
paid," Mr. Cargile reminis­ced,
"and several fainted
from the long wait."
Many of the buildings then
were wooden military struc­tures.
Barracks dotted Ross
Square and the area where the
library stands today. On the
site of the present dairy lab­oratory
were 92 deck houses
from old tugboats serving as
housing for some students.
yji Barracks also did duty as
fjlorms in the area of South
$fomens Dormitories.
•t "The student body was en­tirely
different from what it
THE END OF AN ERA
Cargile Retires As Bursar After 22 Years.
is today," Cargile noted.
"Most of the 2,700 students
at Auburn in 1945 were World
War II veterans." These stu­dents
were generally older
and had more responsibilities
than today's students. They
didn't have as much time for
fun and relaxation. Many were
married and had children.
"Few graduate students
attended Auburn 22 years ago.
Most of the students went to
work as soon as they obtained
jtheir bachelors degrees.
"Auburn's image has chang­ed
considerably since World
War II. A relatively high per­centage
of the students atAla-bama
Polytechnic institute,
as Auburn was then called,
studied agriculture and mech­anics,
and the school had the
reputation of a 'cow college,'
Now Auburn is a full-fledged
university and the 'cow col­lege*
image is fading out.
"One thing that hasn't
changed about Auburn is the
good old Auburn Spirit," Mr.
Cargile declared. "The stu­dents
still yell just as loud,
at football games, and the
same atmosphere of friendli­ness
still persists on the rol­ling
plains. The attitude of
'once an Auburn man, always
an Auburn man', always lingers
over the campus."
Cargile, who never missed
a registration in his 22 years
as bursar, is a native of Fay­ette
County. He had his first
teaching experience in public
schools there two years be­fore
he graduated from high
school. He was qualified
through special state exami­nations.
With the help of a Birming­ham
Rotary Scholarship,
Cargile entered Auburn in
1924. He worked throughout
his undergraduate period as
a library assistant. In 1928
he was graduated with honors,
receiving a B.S. degree in
education. He was awarded
his masters degree in educa­tion
in 1931.
While at Auburn, he was
tapped for membership in sev­eral
honoraries, including Phi
Kappa Phi, Kappa Delta Pi,
and Alpha Mu Rho.
Cargile taught at high
schools in Atmore and Auburn
and worked with the State De­partment
of Industrial Rela­tions
before joining the Au­burn
staff.
A member of the Lions Club
and the local Masonic Lodge,
Cargile is also active in
church work.

On Other Campuses
Cars Excluded
At Ole Miss
By ROY SUMMERFORD
Exchange Editor
In a manner reminiscent of Mississippi ex-Gov. Ross
Barnett's original stand-in-the-schoolhouse-door routine
of a few years ago, the entire University of Mississippi
campus has been blocked off-this time to students.
No, there are no lines of state troopers to keep Negroes
out; just campus security police manning roadblocks to
keep student cars out.
They took that extreme measure, they said, because
Ole Miss has always had a fairly open traffic policy and
they felt that s t u d e n t s might not heed the new traffic
regulations.
NO DRIVING DURING CLASSES
The rules, of course, slate that no student may drive
on campus during class hours. Rather than chase the
students down and give hundreds of tickets the first few
weeks, the security officers chose to turn student cars
away at the gate.
The faculty may still park on campus. In fact, with all
security officers manning roadblocks, they can probably
park anywhere and anyway they choose. The officers are
so busy keeping students out, there is only a skeleton
force left to patrol the Ole Miss campus. Of course, fac­ulty
members usually leave their cars parked, so they
add little to the traffic congestion on campus.
The new t r a f f ic code is similar to that in effect on
many other campuses, but it is the first really tight re­striction
ever placed upon student drivers at Ole Miss. Up
to now the campus has been one of the least restricted
in the nation.
'MOST PEOPLE WALKING'
The Ole Miss student newspaper, the Mississippian,
described the scene as "the most people walking since
the late 1800's when horses were prohibited from cam­pus."
The Mississippian publicized the new traffic code a ll
summer in a effort to accustom students to the rule. But
even it questioned if the ruling could be enforceable.
Thus the roadblocks were established. Security officers
say they will be taken down in a few days. After that the
security office will use t ickets to enforce the ban on stu­dent
cars.
SIMILAR TO LSU
The student newspaper compared the present situation
to that existing at LSU, where students must park a mile
from campus, then ride transit buses to class. The only
problem is that Ole Miss has no transit system.
"They might possibly follow the example set at the Uni­versity
of Alabama. The Alabama Union rents bicycles
to students at the rate of 25 cents an hour or $1.50 per
day. Or the Ole Miss students could j u s t forget about
driving and join Auburn students in walking to class.

Tiger

By GUY RHODES
Sports Miior
To some people Los Angeles is a stopping place before
heading to Hawaii. To others there is the lure of Disney­land
or the movie studios. But Auburn coaches Claude Saia
and Sam Mitchell had another purpose in mind as they flew
to southern California. Scouting the Tennessee-UCLA game
was their job.
Los Angeles is a nice place for football scouts, tourists,
residents, sunset strippers and other assorted groups. It is
a happy city. The only people who were really unhappy in
LA on the night of Sept. 16 were the Tennessee football
team and the 3,000 Vol fans in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Tennessee lost 20-16 after holding a 14-3 lead over the
Bruins earlier in the game.
Tigers Crush Mocs; Vols First Real Test
WARREN (KNEELING), FLOWERS, FULTON, PICKENS
The score could have been worse and individual Vol per­formances
could have been much improved. These conclu­sions
are not necessarily based on what Mitchell and Saia
reported. They are the conclusions of Tennessee Coach
Doug Dickey and his staff.
"Mr. Block" and "Meanest Vol," two weekly awards
presented by the Tennessee's coaches failed to produce a
winner following the UCLA game.
In the two week break between the Vols coastal game and
their home opener with Auburn, Tennessee worked long
hours on fundamentals of winning football-blocking and
tackling.
A team that spends a week going back over fundamentals
tends to become meaner.
Tennessee will have to be tough, because Auburn is
going to be just as tough. The Tigers opened the season on
a successful note by drubbing Chattanooga 40-6 and looked
like a much improved team over last Years Aubum club that
dropped a 28-0. decision to the Vols.
Tennessee should have three advantages going into Sat­urday's
game-they are playing at home, they've had two
weeks of preparation, and possess a desire to post their
first win of the season.
Saia and Mitchell scouted the Vols two weeks ago in Los
Angeles and determined the best possible game plan to
lead Auburn to an upset victory Saturday in Knoxville.
Needless to say, the Tigers will be well prepared Satur­day.
The trip to Los Angeles was enjoyable to Mitchell and
Saia, but a trip to Auburn, Ala., next Saturday night could
be one of the more enjoyable of their lives should Auburn
beat Tennessee.

The hard hitting defen­sive
unit, >an abundance of
good receivers, and a tired
Chattanooga team enabled
Auburn to win its opening
game of the season, '40-6,
over the Chattanooga Moc­casins
Saturday.
Except for two plays
early in the game, Chatta­nooga's
running game was
thranted by Auburn's rugged
defensive line and lineback­ers.
Defensive tackles Ray
Tatum and Charles Collins
and defensive end Jim Bouch-illon
played outstanding
§ames.
Linebackers Marvin Tucker,
Gusty Yearout, Mike Holtz-claw
and Robert Margeson
were the mainstays of the
defense in allowing Chatta­nooga
only 52 yards net rush­ing.
Another highlight in Aub­urn's
win was the kicking of
sophomore John Riley. Riley,
kicking with uncanny accuracy
and range, booted two field
goals and four extra points.
The offensive show seemed
to be afire until it got inside
the Chattanooga 20-yard line,
then the spark died out. When
the Chattanooga team tired,
Auburn scored rather freely
in the last quarter, especially
when Blakeney took over at
quarterback. The hard, bull­like
running of fullback . Al
Giffin and tailback Richard
Plagge and the quick, outside
scampers of Blakeney were the
bright spots in Auburn's rush­ing
game.

Clemson Set
For Georgia
9-THE PLAINSMAN Thursday, September 28, 1967
By JIMMY HILL
Last Saturday was the day for upsets as some of the
uation's top elevens were beaten or tied. This week the
eyes of the south will be focused on Clemson, South
Carolina, as the Georgia Bulldogs meet the Tigers of
Clemson.
GEORGIA-CLEMSON
Frank Howard has proclaimed "The Year of the
Tiger," and his Clemson
body, but the Wildcats may
be just as slow this week.
LSU-A&M
LSU scored a touchdown in
the finalminutes to down Rice
last Saturday, and must again
face a Southwest Conference
team, Texas A&M. This may
be the day for the Aggies
who have lost two close ones.
LSU's Bengals will have the
"home court advantage" they
enjoyed last week, but the
local fans might be disap
pointed
BAMA-USM
Southern Mississippi can
no longer be called a little
school by any means but i ts
football team is still "little
league" when compared to
the Crimson Tide. Bear's
boys and most of the country
were shocked when Florida
State scored more points
against Alabama than anyone
else since Auburn's national
champs beat the Tide 40-0
in the pre-Bear days of 1957
You can bet that Alabama
worked hard this week and
will be adequately prepared
to make a convincing show in
Mobile Saturday night
VANDY-W&M
In another night game,
Vanderbilt faces William and
Mary in a breather for the
Commodores. Vandy held
Georgia Tech to 17 points
while scoring 10. William and
Mary was overpowered by
VPI in i ts last outing, 31-7
as the Indians managed their
only score in the final period
team opened last week
with an impressive 23-7
victory over Wake Forest.
The Tigers are the best of the
Atlantic Coast Conference and
to defeat one of the SEC's
best would be a real feather
in Coach Howard's cap.
Dooley's Dogs, however,
proved their might in a 30-0
conquest of Mississippi State.
Led by Kirby Moore and bruis­ing
fullback Ronnie Jenkins,
the Bulldogs piled up 372
yards of offense against State
and should continue their
winning ways this week.
AUBURN-TENNESSEE
Auburn's 40-6 victory over
little C h a t t a n o o g a could
hardly be termed impressive
as the Tigers gave the Mocs
one touchdown and did most
of their scoring in the sec­ond
half. The defense per­formed
in the grand manner of
former Tiger teams, but it
won't really be tested until
this week against Tennessee.
Last year's Gator Bowl Champs
were idle this past week and
have had plenty of time to
prepare for the Auburn game.
Experts think Tennessee,
Plainsman prognosticators say
Auburn. It will be closer than
most people think.
FLORIDA-MISS. STATE
Steve Spurrier is gone, but
Florida Coach Ray Graves
may have found a successor
to Super Steve in soph Jackie
Eckdahl. At best, however,
the Gators are picked to have
a mediocre season. They
finally beat Illinois last week
while this Saturday's oppo­nent
Mississippi State re­ceived
adrubbing at the hands
of the Georgia Bulldogs.
KENTUCKY-OLE MISS
In the only other Confer­ence
game, OleMissand Ken­tucky
will tangle in Lexing­ton.
Both teams have 0-1
records withtheRebels losing
to Memphis State and Ken­tucky
being defeated by
Indiana after leading at the
half. Getting off to a slow
start is not unusual for any-

Cross Country Begins Fall Season
Following a disastrous opening iimb-sitting session by
eight hand-picked pigskins selectors, the regular prog­nosticating
staff swings into action.
Headed by sports editor Guy Rhodes, who managed to
select 6 of 10 winners last week, the group is composed of
Plainsman editor Bruce Nichols (60%), the Old Pro (60%),
and s p o r t s writers Richard Wittish (50%), Jim Hill and
Rhodes Shell, who were not among last week's predictors.
This week's guest selector is Julie Archer, Miss Aub­urn.
Julie, the Loveliest Village's answer to Atlanta's
Coach Friday, is c e r t a i n to be this season's prettiest
prognosticator, if not the most accurate.
Last Friday's most successful forecasters, Mel Pulli-am
and Lyn Scarbrough, whose brilliant selections pro­duced
the top averages of 70% quit while they were ahead.
Highlighting Thursday's predictions is the Muhlenberg-
Ursinus clash. Muhlenberg attempts to rebound from a
2-6-1 s e a s o n in its opening game against the fired-up
Bears. Urinus tied the Mules, 0-0, in last fall's Parents'
Day Game-whatever that is.
Is (0le Diz' Coming To Auburn?
fp*H^3»«#
By LARRY MATSON
"I really like to watch them War Eagles play football."
That's what Jerome "Dizzy" Dean said last week and he
just might see them play this season.
Allen Montgomery, assistant superintendent of spirit,and
this reporter made a trip to Dean's home in Bond, Miss., to
invite him to the Auburn campus for this year's homecoming
game with Mississippi State.
Bond, with a population of 200, is located
three miles outside of Wiggins, residence
of 1.200, according to Dean.
"OLE DIZ"
"Ole Diz" still isn't one to let facts
% stand in the way of a good story, and it
^ L was surprising to hear the number of "War
^k I Eagle" stories he can tell. One concerns
[ Mk m an Alabama game when "Red" Drew was
coaching the Tide.
No one thought that Auburn could win, so
"Diz" decided to pull for the underdog. It was 7-0 Auburn
at the half and Dean was asked to comment on the game
on the radio. "Well, it's a close game, but I feel they're gonna
score a lot more runs in the next half," he stated.
He went on with the story saying that by the fourth
quarter Auburn led 14-0 and he was so excited that he ran
around with "a real live war eagle" on his shoulder.
"Yes, sir, podner. A real live war eagle." There is, of
course, no verification of this story, but Dean would swear
MATSON
by it.
OFF THE FIELD
Off the field Dean isn't anything like the boastful ball­player
he was in his prime in the 30's. Although he won
30 games in 1934 and still holds the record as the only
pitcher to get two hits in one inning in a World Series, he
is just a good, down-to-earth, small town citizen today.
In fact, his hospitality for two college men he had never
met was overwhelmingly warm. His friendliness and courtesy
were apparent from the opening introduction of "Howdy
podners, glad to have ya'll visit with Pat and me today."
Pat, his wife, entertained us while "Diz" was returning
from the airport. He had gone there to meet us, but we
arrived earlier than expected.
MAKING PLANS
Presently, he is making plans to attend theHomecoming
pep rally and game. "If I missed an Ole Miss game, they'd
run me out of the state," but the Rebels have an open
date Nov. 11.
If he should make it to the Plains, it would be to relax
and enjoy agood football game. The entire month of October
is booked with personal appearances, the World Series,
and golf tournaments, but in his own words, "I always
enjoy watching them War Eagles play football. Yes, sir,
they really know how to play. When you put on that uniform,
it's'business out there."

Coach Mel Rosen's cross
country team opens a tough
season against a highly
touted Georgia Tech squad
on Oct. 11. Rosen is opti­mistic
since incoming
freshmen will be eligible
this year along with some
returning stars.
Outstanding returnees
include Vic Kelly and Ralph
Blaine, 'sophomores Werner
Beiersdoerfer, John Kipp,
Eddie Collins and Curtis Mor­ris.
Freshmen Jim McAuliffe
and Bert Rice are also ex­pected
to step in and help.
Practice started last Mon­day,
with the first time trails
being scheduled for tomorrow.
Coach Rosen asks that all
interested cross country boys,
especially freshmen, report
to the field house any after­noon
between 3 and 4.
With only two weeks train­ing
time available, the Yellow
Jackets of Tech are Coach
Rosen's main worry. Two
weeks of vigorous practice
are on slate, but Rosen hopes
most of the men will report
in shape.
Former Cake Racers are
prevalent in this years cross
country picture. Blaine, Col­lins,
and Morris placed high
in the annual event and are
now running for the varsity.
