Graduate school unaffected by draft law
By JAMES THORNTON
Auburn's graduate school has been vir­tually
unaffected by the 1967 Military
Selective Service Act which denies 2-S
deferments for graduate students.
According to Graduate Dean W.V. Parker,
the Graduate School enrollment for the fall
quarter is essentially the same as it was
for the 1967 fall quarter.
"We have very little evidence of stu­dents
being drafted and not coming to
graduate school," said Dr. Parker.
"I know of no more than six students
students who were actually drafted."
Last February Dr. Parker predicted that
the decision to refuse draft deferments to
graduate students except in medical
fields could cost Auburn much of its
teaching personnel.
Last year the graduate school provided
an equivalent of 105 full time teachers
and 63 full time researchers.
VETERANS RETURN
"Some veterans are coming back to re­place
those who have left, and I don't
think the government is drafting as many
people now as was once predicted.
"Also, some draft boards are very liberal
in granting deferments to students who
are already in a masters or doctoral pro­gram,"
said Dr. Parker.
"We now have 1,030 graduate students
on campus. Some education people will
come in later this week and register for
one day a week classes.
TOTAL ENROLLMENT
"This should run the enrollment up
close to 1,080," said Dr. Parker.
Total graduate enrollment was unavail­able
at presstime.
"We have the usual number of students
coming in and requesting deferments and
they have indicated that their local boards
are going to let them finish their studies,"
said Dr. Parker.
Dr. Parker also commented that a new
masters program for military personnel
was begun at Maxwell Air Force Base in
Montgomery.
Around 175 students there are taking
courses in business administration and
political science.
One graduate research assistant, Kenneth
L. Davenport, said, "So far I haven't had
any trouble in getting my deferment from
my local board.
SIGNS STATEMENT
"I had to sign a statement, however,
where if I got a 2-S deferment I would have
to relinquish my right to a fatherhood
deferment after I got my degree," said

arraignment scheduled for Nov. 1
By LYN SCARBROUGH
An Auburn student charged with "possession of
marijuana" in violation of the state narcotics law has
been released from the Lee County Jail on $2,000 bond.
Joe Bennett, 23, a senior in Aeronautical Admini-s
tration from 0 r m o n d

Tuesday afternoon,
also faces possible action
from University authorities.
The arrest, which was
made at a local fraternity

Political action groups
encouraged by Bryan
Announcement of forma­tion
of a Young Democrats
Club at Auburn has
prompted Student Body Pre­sident
Jimmy Bryan to en­courage
interested persons
to organize in behalf of the
candidate of their choice.
"I hope backers of any of
the major candidates will form
political action groups on
campus," said Bryan. "As
college students we should
take an active interest in our
nation's affairs. Such groups
are one way of expressing
our concern in the political
arena."
An organizational meeting
of the Young Democrats Club
has been called for 7 p.m.
Tuesday in the Union Build­ing.
Bobby Wiggins, state
chairman of Young People
for Humphrey, will speak at
the meeting.
"Students interested in
starting a group to back
Nixon or Wallace are urged
to contact me in the Student
Government Office," said
Bryan. "I shall be happy to
help them arrange meeting
places on campus*"

orities said they found
marijuana growing in the yard
of a house he was renting
about five miles south of
Auburn. Bennett is scheduled
for arraignment about Nov. 1.
Law officers said other
arrests may be made in the
case, but that there are ap­parently
no other students
involved. Federal, state and
local authorities took part in
the arrest and investigation.
The location where the mari­juana
was grown had been
under surveillance for some
time, according to law
authorities. Officers said the
marijuana was growing "in
open view."
Lt. Jerry Popwell of the
Lee County Sheriff's Depart­ment
said that the charge
against Bennett was in con­nection
with "possession,
buying, selling and growing"
of marijuana. Law authorities
said Bennett was apparently
one of the "largest suppliers
of the product in this area."
Bennett reportedly had
given no confession to law
officers and when contacted
said that his lawyer had ad­vised
him to make no state­ments
at this time.
Dr. Floyd Vallery, as­sistant
to the president, said
that if Bennett is "actually
involved" in use of marijuana
he will be dismissed from
the university.

"I know of no one in our department
who was drafted, but several received 1-A
classifications and are still classified
1-A," he added.
A 1-A classification means that a stu­dent
can be called to active duty in the
armed forces at any time.
. Another student, Sam Hutchinson, said,
"My board told me that if I were working
toward a professional degree and in my
second year of graduate school they would
give me a deferment."
Hutchinson did not know of any graduate
students who had been drafted.
Request needed
for deferments
Draft-age males can breathe a sigh of relief-provided
they file a written request for a deferment with their
local board. The Registrar's Office will do its part to
enable students to get a 2-S classification.
Information necessary for local draft boards to de­cide
on granting student deferments will be sent to the
Selective Service System of Alabama by Oct 15, ac­cording
to Registrar Albert Killian This information will
be forwarded to local boards by the state headquarters.
However, each student is required to write his board
requesting a deferment. Deferments are not automatically
granted on the basis of information received from the
university.
The Registrar's Office will furnish information show­ing
that a student did or did not earn 25 per cent of the
credit hours of a normal degree program during the last
four quarters. Enrollment of new students taking a full
load will also be reported to the draft boards.
The Registrar's Office will provide information only
and will not be involved in deferment, postponement or
induction, Killian said.

Point system devised
to rate Auburn spirit
By LYNN BABB
Who has the most Auburn spirit?
That question is vigorously debated every fall, and
no one is ever satisfied with the answer, but soon
there will be no doubt to the identity of the most spirited
group on campus.
A point system has been
devised to measure that
spirit and a trophy will be
awarded the group earning
the most points, according
to Allen Montgomery, super­intendent
of spirit.
Entry forms for the spirit
competition will soon be
mailed to all fraternities,
sororities and independent
organizations on campus.
Forms will also be available
in the student government
office.

The interpretation does not

during the period of for­mal

the interpretation does not

NSA motion postponed
Student senate convenes Monday
By JIMMY REEDER
An honor code, reap­portionment,
recommenda­tions
on the discipline com­mittee
and revision of the
Student Body Constitution
are scheduled for discus­sion
at Monday night's
Student Senate meeting.
However, Auburn's pro­posed
membership in the
National Student Associa­tion
(NSA) probably will
not be brought up for dis
cussion, according to Phil­lip
Wallace, student body
vice-president.
"We are still gathering in­formation
on NSA and want to
write to several member schools
before discussing the issue,"
said Wallace.
Wallace was one of several
observers at the recent NSA
Congress at Kansas State
University. Four of five stu­dents
who attended meetings
favor a trial membership in
the often-controversial group.
This trial year would be fol­lowed
by a student referendum
on permanent membership.
The proposed honor code
must be approved by the stu­dent
and faculty senates and
includes basically the same
definitions of dishonesty as
previous rules.
The new code calls for

ion of a world renowned
authority on genetics.
Dr. Rom Moav, professor
of genetics at Hebrew Uni­versity
in Jerusalem, expressed
the view in an interview this
week. He taught quantitative
genetics here last spring and
summer quarters as a visiting
professor.
Dr. Moav is recognized as
a distinguished quantitative
geneticist and as the world's
outstanding authority on the
genetics of fish, according
to E.V. Smith, Dean of the
School of Agriculture.
Dr. Moav named problems
caused by advances in medical
technology, differences in re­production
rates among the
social classes and other
changes in the make-up of the
population as problems which
may be solved through gene­tics.
DEFECTS PASSED DOWN
"Survival of heart trans­plant
patients may mean cer­tain
congenital heart defects
will be passed from genera­tion
to generation. Eventually
geneticists may be able to
prevent these defects," Moav
said.
"Lower economic classes
have higher birth rates than
the upper social classes,"
he said. "If certain charac­teristics
become dominant in
the lower economic group, fu­ture
generations could have
defective mutants."
Moav emphasized that it is
a matter of judgment whether
a certain trait is "good" or
'bad."
ETHICAL DECISION
"We face a tremendous eth­ical
decision in deciding whe­ther
to change the genetic
make-up to eliminate a cer­tain
trait," he said.
Dr. Moav said we face
three choices in meeting pop­ulation
problems.
"We can lower the repro­duction
rate through birth
control measures; we can try
to improve the genetic strain,
or we can do nothing," he
said.
Moav said that it would now
be possible to breed humans
to produce mathematical gen­iuses
or other "desirable"
traits.
Moav was recognized as the
Benjamin Minge Duggar Dis­tinguished
Visiting Professor
at a luncheon in his honor
Monday. He was presented a
plaque by Pres. Harry Phil­pott.
Moav lectured on "Genetic
Aspects of Contemporary
Human Society" Tuesday
night. His interview with The
Plainsman was a preview of
that address.

The stabbing occurred at
Webster's home west of

SDS again leads riots
at Columbia University
The Columbia University student rebellion flared
again last week as Students for a Democratic Society
(S D S ) members tried to disrupt annual fall registra­tion.
Several hundred rebels fought campus police after,
about 30 students were refused admission to Columbia
because of their participation in last year's campus dis­turbances.
About 300 persons forced their way past police lines
into one of the classroom buildings last Wednesday
night. The students were led by a student waving a red
flag, the international symbol of communism. The gather­ing
was for a previously scheduled -SDS meeting that
had been cancelled by University officials. The SDS
meeting was termed by SDS officials as an "International
Assembly of Revolutionary Students."
Irving deKoff, director of student interests, told the .
SDS's steering committee that because of the afternoon
incident, "Space will not be granted to the SDS tonight
or in the future, pending a hearing by students and
faculty..."
HAIR RETURNS TO L.S.U. FRESHMAN SCENE
The L.S.U. tradition of freshman men shaving their'
heads may be coming to an end this fall. The student
government president was recently directed by a student
assembly resolution to inform freshmen that the "shaves"
are not mandatory.
In the past advanced ROTC cadets have threatened
basic cadets with demerits if they did not follow orders
to shave their heads. The threats were so successful
that many students believed the practice to be a uni­versity
regulation enforced by the military.
DUKE INITIATES CURRICULUM CHANGES
A curriculum designed to guarantee the individuality
iOf the student by abolishing uniform course requirements
has been installed at Duke University. "The curriculum
has been divided into three programs," said Craig
Keesler, chairman of the academic affairs committeeof
the Associated Students at Duke University.
Under Program I, there are no specific course re­quirements
during the freshman and sophomore years.
The Duke system is designed to pull the student in
fewer directions and to free teachers to participate in
the concept Duke calls "learning experience." Under
Program I, the junior and senior years are devoted to a
senior thesis and independent study.
Program II is designed for entering students who know
what they want to major in. "If a student is smart, he
can start in independent research immediately," Mr.
Kessler explained.
Program III is an experimental college and is still in
the planning stages. The experiment will have the pro­fessors
living in co-ed dormitories.
If
we were
happy
with the wqiid
the way it is,
we wouldn't
need you.
Kids choke on polluted air. Streets are jammed by
cars with no place to go. Lakes and rivers are a
common dumping ground for all kinds of debris.
This is the way the world is, but it's not the way
it has to be.
Air pollution can be controlled. Better transpor­tation
systems can be devised. There can be an
almost unlimited supply of clean water.
People at General Electric are already working
on these problems. And on other problems that
need to be solved. Problems like developing more
efficient ways of providing power to our cities and
figuring out ways our production capabilities can
keep up with our population needs.
But we need more people.
We need help from a lot of young engineers and
scientists; and we need help from business and
liberal arts graduates who understand people and
their problems.
If you want to help change the world, we'd like
to talk to you. We'll be visiting campus soon. Why
not drop by the placement office and arrange for an
interview? You might be able to turn a problem
into an opportunity. ^_^

Unions will not solve
state education woes
ByDovWHoosel
Alabama education, already beset by low
teachers' salaries and an almost unbearable
teacher work load, may be dealing with a new problem in the
near future.
Alabama teachers have traditionally frowned on any attempt
to organize unions among faculties in high schools and ele­mentary
schools, but the time
Admiration.
A Responsible Senate
Each senator should realize his
responsibility to the student body
when the student senate convenes
Monday night for its first official
meeting of the year.
A conscientious senator should
carefully consider any proposal which
comes before the legislative body and
t h e n cast his vote according to his
own convictions, without regard to
the stand taken by another senator or
or a member of the executive branch.
In our political system, a certain
amount of pressure is expected, but
senators should not allow the senate
to become an echo of a student offi­cial
or a mouthpiece for a vocal stu­dent
senator. The legislative and
executive branches of student govern­ment
should work together, but neither
should apply pressure to the point of government.

Too many students already con­sider

group of elite students who are work­ing
to perpetuate their own goals,
ambitions and proteges. The news­letter
which accompanied mail-out
registration material, the senate's
drive to obtain off-campus housing
for women and the effort to revamp
the men's discipline committee have
all helped communication between stu­dent
officials and the average Auburn
student who has had no direct con­tact
with student government since
freshman orientation. Vigorous senate
debate would prove that the senate
was not a rubberstamp for one person
or a small group of people and would
thereby help remove the "elite group"

Together they've almost abolished
the long lines, the frustrated expres­sions,

The number of students utilizing

Anyone who experienced the torment­ing
fall quarter registration in 1967
will remember the long hours spent
waiting to get inside the Sports Arena.
Once inside, it was mass confusion.
It took some students more than two
days to complete registration proce­dures
which were completed this year
in a matter of minutes.
The fortunate ones who didn't ex­perience
those long lines and hot days
can't fully appreciate the value of
mail-out registration. Those of us who
survived the ordeal a year ago, can
breathe a sigh of relief. Registra­tion,
always one of the worst problems
in the collegiate bureaucratic system,
has apparently been solved. We hope
so.
A rest for Old Glory

chance to recuperate and regain some
smidgen of prestige. In view of the
Czechoslovakian invasion, surely all
of our foreign aid has earned us a
small breathing spell from our friends.
is rapidly approaching when
a teachers' union may wield •
powerful influence in state
politics and an even stronger
influence in local school af­fairs.
The Alabama Education
Association, with its 25,000
members, most of which are
white, is already a potent
political force within the
state, but it does not have
the jurisdiction to call and
enforce teacher strike on a
wide scale. Unfortunately,
many Alabama educators have
resigned themselves to the
belief that only drastic action
on their part will force the
state to upgrade education.
The teachers' main com­plaint
is the same as it has
been for years: insufficient
pay and an almost unbearable
teacher-pupil ratio. Although
the state average is only 22
pupils to one teacher, some
teachers must teach as many
as 45 children in a single
classroom. The regional
average is 24.8 students per
teacher, but it would take
more than 1600 additional
teachers to reduce Alabama's
work load to this regional
average. Despite recent ed­ucational
appropriations, Ala­bama
may drop a notch lower
in the amount of money spent
per pupil. We would then rank
50th in the nation, and no
longer could Alabama educa­tors
say, "Thank God for
Mississippi."
Financial matters and work­ing
conditions are not the
only reasons more and more
Alabama teachers are look­ing
favorably on a unioniza­tion
plan. Many fear that
white teachers fear they will
not have a substantial voice in
state school affairs when the
AEA, predominantly white
group, and the Alabama State
Teachers' Association
(ASTA), a predominantly
Negro group, merge in 1969.
Many white teachers fear
that Negro school teachers
have organized a hard core
group of workers who will
exert pressure on local
boards of education with
threats of civil rights suits.
White teachers feel that a
united front is necessary to
have a base to offset the
Negroes' advantage to deal
forcefully with local boards.
Alabama teachers have
traditionally considered them­selves
as professional people,
but this title will yield to
job security.
Teachers deserve a better
deal than they are getting,
but before organizing to call
a strike, they should con­sider
who the real losers
would be. It would not be

Good riddance
Two-party system
is on the way out
By Bob Payne
For some 180 years the United States
has operated politically under a two-party
system. Though the names have changed through the years, the
structure remains intact,and since I860 the Republicans and
Democrats have controlled the electorate.
Minor parties spring up from time to time-today about 30
political parties representing t n e electoral college are
various factions share a
comer of the stage-but none
overshadow the two major
parties. Occasionally a third
party, like the Populist Party
of the 1880's, the Progres­sive
Party of 1912 or George
Wallace's American Inde­pendent
Party of 1968', may
control a sizeable percentage
of the electorate, but rarely
present a serious threat to
the major parties for very
long.
But the days of the two-party
system and machine
politics may be numbered.
This past summer's dramatic
events in Miami and Chicago
painfully illustrated many of
the shortcomings of the con­vention
system for nominating
the presidential candidates
of the major parties.
More people are taking an
active part in political af­fairs
than ever before.
Thousands of people, young
and old, of all races and
from all social and economic
backgrounds, actively cam­paigned
this year for candi
myriad, but perhaps most
important is the fact that a
minority candidate can and
has been chosen president.
An amendment to the con­stitution
would be required
for the abolition of the elec­toral
college, and past evi­dence
indicates there is con­siderable
support for such a
move in Congress. The voters
of the country would likely
ratify an amendment were it
passed by the legislature.
The abolition of the elec­toral
college would sharply
diminish the importance of
the national political
parties on the state level;
for without the necessity of
nominating and supporting a
slate of electors, the state
political party organizations
would function mainly as
supporters for the party's
presidential candidate and
congressional nominees.
Following this, a national
primary, which has frequently
been proposed} should be
established to replace the
convention system of party
lose with Auburn.
Auburn lost Saturday. A
small number of students
sought a scapegoat for that
loss. This is not in the tra­dition
of that great Auburn
spirit.
"Kill the nigger, kill the
nigger!" they chanted. The
chant did not last long nor
was it taken up by many stu­dents.
For that we can be
thankful.
The chant is a symptom of
an attitude which has no
place in a civilized nation.
To hate an opponent because
of his race is inexcusable.
But a Negro doesn't have
to be on the opposing team to
be the object of abuse from
some members of the student
body. Other students in the
crowd reportedly harassed a
member of the Auburn band
because of his race. Again
the number was small, but
the attitude was there.
The idea of superiority of
one race over another should
have died in the bunker with
Hitler. It didn't. It sat in
Cliff Hare Stadium Saturday.
An important part of edu­cation
is to learn tolerance
of those who differ with you.
This tolerance should apply
whether the difference be in
color of skin or opinion.
To let the conduct of that
• ' • w'l mmmt—rn^——•——•—mm-m
political patronage and grant
the people a greater voice in
their own government. The
national primary would erase
political parties with all
their attendant inadequacies
and make the United States a
nation governed of the people,
by the people and for the
people.
dates on national, state and* nominations. To obtain ballot
dents go unnoticed would
lend silent approval to it.
Maybe they will think twice
about their attitude. They
are guilty of conduct unbe­coming
an Auburn student,
or any human.
No doubt some cheered for
a great football player when
Jerry Levias limped off the
field. Also evident were the
hoorahs of a small number
who were glad he was in­jured.
Again the number was
small. But the. racist atti­tude
was there.
The races must learn to
live and work together to
solve the serious problems
confronting us today. It
can't be done as long as the
hatred evidenced here Saturday
exists in our society.
The person who seeks the
anonymity afforded by the
crowd is no better than the
coward who hides behind a
sheet.
Emotion runs high at foot­ball
games. Two high school
games in central Florida
were marred by racial dis­turbances
last weekend.
The least little spark
could turn a happy crowd into
a howling mob. The risk of
injury or even death is too
great to take a chance on
causing a distrubance. Don't
let it happen here.
Alabama is making slow
progress toward better race
relations. One incident could
tear down all the bridges of
conciliation between the two
races.
We must work together. The
sooner we all realize that,
the better off we'll be. We
must work toward true
equality of opportunity for
all people.
local levels. Though figures
are difficult to obtain, some
research indicates that about
50% more people are working
with political campaigns "this
year than participated in
1960.
Party lines are being
eroded by the winds and
waves of public feeling. The
"Solid South" is no more,
because the voters have be­gun
to realize that one party
does not always represent
their views. The voters are
basing their decisions more
on the issues and the candi­dates
than on party plat­forms.
The days of "once a
party . member, always a
party member" are fading
into the past. The principle of
government by the people is
slowly returning.
The next logical step in
this process is the abolition
of the electoral college.
Several times during the past
100 years such a move has
been proposed, and George
Wallace's candidacy will
likely force the issue again.
Reasons for doing away with
position for the primary, a
presidential candidate would
need to obtain the signatures
of maybe 1% of the elec­torate
across the country.
This primary would also
be used to select candidates
for congress, governor, state
legislators and other state
and local offices.
Since no candidate would
be likely to receive a ma­jority
vote, another election
would choose the winner
from the two candidates for
each office receiving the
greatest number of votes.
Such a national primary
would eliminate the need
for primaries in each state
for each party, erase riot-rocked
party conventions and
return to the people the right
and responsibility for se­lecting
their own candidates
and leaders. The primary
would free the candidates
from platforms and policies
established by the parties
and make each elected offi­cial
answerable only to his
own public-approved policies.
It would help end party and "SOCK iTTQ'Eto, Et>MUND \ GUtSS/'"
Wallace-quick,
cool, impressive
despite ideas
By James Thornton
While listening to the CBS
radio broadcast, 'Face The
Nation,' Sunday night, I
couldn't help but admire
third party candidate, George
Wallace.
Wallace was questioned
by several newsmen during
the program
on his views
concerning
V i e tnam,
federal ver­sus
local
control of
schools, law
and order
and crime.
It was a
no holds
barred contest and Wallace
carried himself well.
One can't help but admire
a man who can trade verbal
punch for verbal punch.
But one can scarcely ad­mire
the reasons for Mr.
Wallace's growing popularity.
Although Wallace is a
shrewd campaigner with a
gift for gab, he is a dan­gerous
candidate riding the
wave of emotionalism which
is sweeping the country
over race riots, the long
drawn out war in Vietnam,
poverty programs and federal
guidelines.
He is dangerous because
the cocky fighter from Clay­ton,
Ala., tells the people
what they want to hear.
And a man can get himself
elected by doing this.
Wallace turned the table
on one newsman Sunday night
when he was asked what he
thought of a recent New York
Times editorial which said
that every man and woman
who voted for George Wallace
was casting a vote of shame
upon the country.
Wallace retorted, "Yeacl
and the New York l"Yeah,;
the same newspaper that'
called Fidel Castro a good
fellow too."
Chalk up a few more votes
for George.
But Wallace is also dan­gerous
because he offers
no concrete plans fOr curing
the nation's ills. He offers
only generalizations about
what he is going to do if he
is elected president of these
United States.
He's going to stop the
bussing of school children
across town to another
school; he's going to take
every communist out of
American defense plants;
he's going to return the con­trol
of schools to local offi­cials;
he's going to stop
foreign aid to communist
countries, he's going t o . . .
Will these going to's
really solve our domestic
and foreign problems. Will
this help the black and white
races of America live to­gether
nV peace? Will it
stop the riots? Will this win
the war in Vietnam?
I doubt it.
Complex problems can't
be solved with simple
answers.
Who are the communists in
our defense plants? How can
Mr. Wallace know who they
are? Does a communist to
Wallace mean someone who
i s opposed to him or some­one
who is an avowed
Marxist?
Wallace no doubt is an
attractive candidate to many
people and will draw quite
a number of votes even if
he doesn't win.
I imagine many Southerners
will vote for Wallace, because
they say they're tired of being
picked on by the federal govern­ment.
And many Northerners
will vote for Wallace because
they are tired of their cities
being burned.
Wallace shouts to his
audiences, "We're tired of
them looking down their
long noses at us peapickin'
rednecks!"
They shout back, "Tell
it like it is George!"
But George isn't telling
it like it is. He's telling it
like he wants it to be and
like some folks want to
hear it.

Letters to the editor
Thursday, September 26, 1968 5-THE PLAINSMAN
Payne. Dunlap draw reader's fire
Financial aid policies
questioned by student
Editor, The Plainsman:
What must a married stu­dent
do to get a loan? This
question might seem trite at
first glance; however, a f t e r
reading this letter, I hope
that this question will be re­peated
one hundred fold.
During Spring Quarter I
talked with the employees at
the Student Financial Aid
Office concerning a loan for
the next year beginning with
the Fall Quarter. They said
that I would have a better
chance of getting the loan if I
would fill out my application
early.
This action was taken im­mediately,
and I handed in
the application the very next
day. I went away with the
assurance that I would be
called if any problem arose.
On June 21, my three ref­erence
letters came in the
mail, and I immediately took
them by the Student Aid Office.
(These letters are not re­quired
for the consideration
of the loan in question.) When
the secretary had found my
file, it was jerked out of her
hand by a Mr. Dunlap who ab­ruptly
told me that I could
not get a loan. I asked him
why?
He said, "Because we don't
have enough money to go
around." I reminded him that
mine was one of the first ap­plications
handed in. I had
the understanding that the ap­plications
were considered
on a first come first serve
basiis. He said that they re­view
the most severe cases
first. I told him of my finan­cial
situation and asked him
if he didn't think it was a
severe case. I received no
answer. He told me that their
policy was to help the fresh­men
first so that they could
carry them on through the
four year period. If there is
any money left they use it
to help the students already
in school. I questioned him
about this policy to make sure
my ears had not deceived me.
He reaffirmed me that I did
hear him correctly.
Then I broke the news to
him saying that I was a fresh­man
last year and had received
a loan. I asked him why wasn't
I being carried through the
four years like the policy
stated. He said that they didn't
have enough money and that
the University has more fresh­men
this quarter. I asked him
did it make sense to give a
student a loan for one year
and then refuse him a loan for
the next, for the purpose of
giving a first quarter fresh­man
a loan and then refusing
him a loan in his sophomore
year, in order to give another
freshman a loan and then drop­ping
him and doing the same
thing on and on. He told me
he was sorry. I thanked him
for his help and left.
In conclusion, I believe
that there are two reasons
and only two reasons for the
refusal of the loan: One, what
I consider possible misman­agement
of capital funds for
student loans; two, because I
am a married student, Mr.
Dunlap refused me a loan.
He apparently thinks stu­dents

Voting better than rioting
to soke urban problems
Editor, The Plainsman:
Bob Payne, referring to
the recent riots and disorder
in our cities, is right when he
asserts that "there is reason
aplenty for such demonstra­tions
by youths and blacks."
However, I hope that he is
not condoning these activi­ties.
It is true that the govern­ment
seems to be losing
touch with the problems in
the country, but that is only
the fault of the citizens.
There is only one satisfac­tory
way to initiate the cor­rection
of this situation of
disorder, and that is to take
advantage of our basic right
of voting, which assures us
the means of improving con­ditions
in this country. It
does work.
There are left-wing ac­tivists
in the United States
who regard the U.S. as a
dichotomy with the govern­ment
and the people as op­posing
factions. They are
promoting this unhealthy at­mosphere
by encouraging dem­onstrations
and disorder as
the only way to get 'what the
people want. It is unfortunate
that so many young people
are engaging in this type of
destructive activity, which
solves nothing, but merely
creates further problems of
separation.
Dissent should be ex­pressed
through the unity of
the popular vote, and if
enough citizens take advan­tage
of this right, problems
can begin to be solved. As
Humphrey recently put it,
"Dissent, yes. Disorder, no."
Even students who are not
of the voting age in their
state can take an interest in
their government. They can
actively promote public opin­ion
in a mature manner, per­haps
through working in poli­tical
clubs and organizations,
actively campaigning or
voicing their opinions through
editorials. A positive ap-proact
such as this can ac­complish
much good, whereas
a negative approach of com­plaining
and creating distur­bances
can only be harmful.
I am sure that most people
in the United States agree
with Payne's dreams for "a
strong new program...to cure
the nations ills;" we have
been wanting such a program
for quite a few years. How-

hear, for a change, some good

any such plans can be

Auburn, State seek to redeem opening losses
If you think Auburn coach
Ralph Jordan felt bad after
losing an opening ball game
last Saturday, consider the
plight of coach Charlie
Shira of Mississippi State.;
In 1967, Shira's first sea­son
at MSU, the Bulldogs
played one of the toughest
schedules in the nation. MSU
lost nine games, won one
and finished in a tie with Van-derbilt
for last place in the
Southeastern Conference.
Shira lost to graduation his
top 1967 scorer and receiver,
Johnny Woitt, last year's punt­er,
Richard McGraw, ana
State's only all-star, all-Amer-l
ica linebacker D.D. Lewis.
So Shira was relieved about
playing a less awesome sche­dule
in 1968, one which in­cluded
two "breathers," the
opener a g a i n s t Louisiana
Tech and an October encounter
with Tampa.
MSU was confident of at
least two victories. Then
came last Saturday's opener
with Louisiana Tech.
Tech, a member of the small
college Gulf States Confer-ence,
defeated the Bulldogs,
20-13, and visions of another
1-9 season or worse loomed
before Shira's tired eyes.
And so State and Shira need
a victory Saturday against
Auburn in Jackson, Miss.
A winning effort for MSU
must of necessity revolve
around junior quarterback Tom­my
Pharr. Pharr is a danger­ous
runner who reportedly
strengthened hi s pas sing range
during State's spring practice
sessions.
Pharr had 60 yards rushing
and completed six of 11 pass­es
for 54 yards against Lou­isiana
Tech before leaving
the game in the third quarter
with an injury.
Pharr should be ready for
the Auburn game. If he is not,
senior Phil Thomas will start
at quarterback. During early
fall practices, Shira described
Thomas as "much improved
over last year," when he was
Pharr's backup man and com­pleted
but seven of 22 passes.
Should he play. Pharr will
be quarteroacKing a "green"
team. His back field operators
and primary receivers are all
sophomores.
At the halfback spots are
Buddy Newsom and 5-11, 167-
pound David Smith. Newsom
ran well for the Bulldogs last
Saturday, gaining 47 yards and
scoring a touchdown.
Soph fullback Don
also scored for State. Dudley
is running ahead of junior
Bobby Gossett, who gained
117 yards for the Bulldogs
last year.
State's top running threat,
halfback Andy Rhoades, has
been a casualty for most of
the fall, but may play Satur­day.
Rhoades has not played
in a game since State?s fifth
Dudley|game in 1966, when he received
an injury to his spleen. At the
time, he was leading the SEC
in rushing. Rhoades missed
all of last season after removal
of his injured spleen.
A strained knee relegated
him to the bench last Saturday.
State's sophomore receivers
are tight end Ronnie Moore
and split end Sammy Milner.
Milner drew raves after
catching 19 passes in MSU's
spring game. Said Shira, "I
don't know whether Sammy was
that good or our pass defense
was that bad."
Tiger Topics
I By Rkhord Mffltish
Sports Editor
Boos for a Tiger
The blackest moment of a dark Auburn football after­noon
occurred during the second quarter of last Saturday's
37-28 loss to Southern Methodist. Auburn quarterback
Loran Carter, all-America and all-Southeastern Conference
hopeful, team captain, the man who was and still is the
key to Tiger darkhorse title aspirations, was booed.
The night before, a "Smash SMU" pep rally crowd of
nearly 7,000 persons cheered a short speech by the red-haired
senior.
Saturday afternoon was a different story. Carter and
his offensive teammates failed to move the football
against SMU. There were broken counts, fumbles, missed
passes. And Carter was booed.
Granted he was not playing well, but neither was he
receiving much help. Auburn's defense gave up 20 points
in 20 minutes, and Carter was playing catch-up football
before he had time to get his throwing arm warm.
In came Brisendine
Into the game came back-up quarterback Dwight
Brisendine and a fresh offensive line. Brisendine took
the Tigers to a touchdown and the half ended with Auburn
trailing by 14 points.
I spent the halftime period wandering around looking
for a Coke and thinking to myself, "Well, here we are,
right back where we were the past three years with an
unsettled quarterback situation."
But I was wrong. Brisendine, who is going to be a
fine quarterback once he acquires more game experience,
threw three interceptions, and Carter returned to the
lineup.
Carter was hot in the fourth quarter. He ended the day
with 13 completions in 26 passing attempts. That's 50%,
a hair better than his season completion average last
year.
Carter's performance wasn't of ail-American or all-
SEC caliber. On a continued week-to-week basis, it may
not be good enough to insure him of a starting job. And
he has an aggressive player in Brisendine breathing down
his neck, waiting and wanting to play.
Still number one
But Loran Carter is Auburn's number one quarter­back.
The Tiger attack is built around him, and he re­mains
the key to a successful Auburn season. He must
prove himself this Saturday against Mississippi State,
prove himself in a big way. My guess is that he will,
because I still believe he's the best quarterback in the
South.
It sounds trite, but one game doesn't make a season.
And one game didn't make the difference in 1965,
when Auburn was upset by Baylor, 14-8, in a Cliff
Hare Stadium opener. The Tigers then could but tie a
weak Tennessee team, and Auburn fans envisioned a

instead of banging down

Forty thousand puzzled

Veteran running team
returns in good condition
By EARL BEATTY
The 1968 version of the
Tiger cross-country team
appears to be a strong one,
with every letterman from
the 1967 squad returning.
Coach Mel Rosen ex­pressed
pleased optimism
after the team's first practice
on Sept. 23, when 21 hand'
picked candidates reported
to practice well prepared for
a fall of gruelling workouts.
Leading the team in ex­perience
is senior ace dis­tance
runner Vick Kelley, who
has made all-Southeastern
Conference numerous times
during his outstanding col­legiate
career. Other top re­turning
lettermen are Werner
Biersdorfer, Eddie Collins,
Ken Jackson, John Kipp,
Bill Land, Jim McAuliffe,
and Lewis Von Herrmann.
The first major test for all
candidates will be held on
Saturday, when a 3.5-mile
time trial will be held to de­termine
the travel squad for
the Aldridge Invitational Meet
in Atlanta on Oct. 5.

Who needs Unites?!
AGR's hove
By ED RUZIC
The Giants have Willie
Mays,• the Yankees have
Mickey Mantle, the Colts
have Johnny Unitas, > and
Alpha Gamma Rho has Benny
Hitch. Those words may
seem a little strong for just a
fraternity athlete, but you
could never persuade the
brothers of Alpha Gamma Rho
differently.
Last year the Farmers, as
they are known in many places
across campus, finished 10 th
in fraternity athletic stand­ings,
which is not bad, but
they went most of the year
without Hitch, who was doing
his National Guard duty.
HITCH RETURNS
This year he is back again
and no warning is needed to
alert other fraternities, for
Benny Hitch has been an all-star
end in football, for Benny
Hitch has been an all-star
guard in basketball, and Benny
Hitch has thrown so many no-hitters
in softball that people
don't even count them any­more.
When I was a freshman and
first heard of Hitch, the word
was, "If you can hit a foul
ball against Hitch, you can
hit a home-run off any other
pitch in the league." Of course
this was a little exaggerated,
but Benny is most famous for
his softball pitching speed.
CAN HITCH REPEAT?
Is Hitch going to be the
same after almost a year
away from school? Well, to
listen to the Alpha Gamma
Rho's, no one else has a
chance this year at the fra­ternity
football title, but of
course, you hear that from all
the fraternities, so I got the

word from Hitch himself.
"I'm really looking forward
to football this year," said
Benny. "I haven't played any
since last year but I think the
team is in pretty good shape."
One thing is for sure, though,
Hitch will be in shape. He
always is, especially after
this summer when he played
centerfield for the third-ranked
softball team in the nation.
In addition to football teams
starting practices across cam'
pus, volleyball also starts
this quarter. Delta Chi was
last year's champion, and Otto
Gaylord probably has his re­turning

rid of the cobwebs.

that swimming, usually a fall
sport here, is going to be
moved to winter so that the
new Coliseum pool can be
used. Bowling will be changed

Georgia, CIemson meet
in inter-league fray
By MIKE ANDERSON
In a game that should be of great interest to Auburn
fans, the Georgia Bulldogs of the Southeastern Con­ference
meet the Clemson Tigers this Saturday in Athens.
Auburn must face both of these teams, and both of them
look like real toughies.
Both teams are currently sporting 0-0-1 records, as
Georgia tied Tennessee two weekends ago while Clemson
fought to a draw with Atlantic Coast Conference opponent
Wake Forest last Saturday afternoon.
Around the SEC
Frank Howard's Clemson, last year's ACC champs,
return 38 lettermen and are led by Buddy Gore, a 195
pound tailback, who gained 1045 yards last season
Tor an average of almost five yards everytime he carried
the ball.
Quarterback seems to be in the hands of Charlie
Waters, at 6-2, 190-pounds a good running quarterback
but not yet a proven passer. Waters has trouble spotting
receivers and often runs when he should pass.
Rounding out the backfield are fullback Ricky Medlin,
an excellent blocker, and flanker Ron Milner, a better
^han average receiver.
The Tigers lost heavily to graduation in the offensive
line, and this year's edition is young and inexperienced.
Leading the line are tackles Richard Garick, a letter
winner last year, Joe Lhotsky, and guard Randy Harvey,
who was shifted over from defense.
DEFENSE IS TOUGH
On defense the Tigers' snarl should be well heard, for
the defense has depth, balance and experience. Most of
r.he defensive line is back, anchored by senior linebackers
Billy Care and Jimmy Catoe. In fact, the only non-senior
in the forward wall is Ivan Southerland, left end, a big
boy at 6-4, 237 pounds.
The defensive backfield is lead by Richie Luzzi, a
man who played every minute the Tigers lacked the
pigskin last fall.
Georgia is one of the stronger teams in the SEC this
/ear, but coach Vince Dooley's Bulldogs are not yet set
at quarterback.
Sophomore Mike Cavan and red-shirt Don Hampton may
share the position for the season unless one or the other
manages a clear-cut take over. The Tennessee game left
them both about equal, and Dooley seems confident that
they both can do the job.
Georgia's ground game is solid, with Brad Johnson at
fullback and Steve Farnsworth at tailback. Bruce Kemp,
who went 80 yards against Tennessee, runs at fullback
or tailback, and Steve Woodward is the regular wingback.
Dooley wants to throw more this season from his basic
slot T offense. Catching for the Dogs are tight ends
Dennis Hughes and Charles Whittemore. Last year's tail­back,
Kent Lawrence, has been shifted to split end to
utilize his 9.7 speed.
I pickGeorgia to win by a touchdown, as Clemson plays:
in Athens and overall is not as strong as Georgia.
Around the rest of the.Southeastern Conference: Ala-;
bama will out-defense coach Pie Vann's Southern Mis­sissippi
Southerners; Florida will stop Ron Sellars and
Florida State; Ole Miss will edge Kentucky; Louisiana
State will overpower Rice; Tennessee will whip Memphis
State, and Vanderbilt will fall to the Army Cadets at
West Point.

The fumbling fortunetellers again present their fear­some

: In last week's practice round the Old Pro and Ed Ruzic

Regular prognosticators for 'Out on a limb' will be
: Plainsman editor David Housel, sports editor Richard

i but whose identity remains a closely-guarded secret.
: This week's guest is Auburn's president, Dr. Harry M.
Philpott, whose identity is legendary but whose where­abouts
remain a closely- guarded secret.
Muhlenberg's magnificent Mules take on the elusive
eleven from Johns Hopkins. Last year Johns spent .half
the season trying to find Hopkins, but this year the team
should be ready to go from the opening kick-off. Though

The 1968 Tigers could easily be Auburn's next bowl
team. They have the personnel.
When the other players come around, the Tigers will
be tough.
Until then, however, the memory of the boos shrouding
Cliff Hare's sun-covered turf will linger.
Especially for Loran Carter.

Although the Tigers day­dreamed
throughout most of
the game, there was one
bright spot, the defensive
secondary.
"Don Webb and Merrill
Shirley were outstanding,"
spoke Coach Jordan of his
team's secondary play. "And
McClinton was good too, but
he could have been better."
According to Coach Oliver
defensive backs should have
a grading percentage of at
least 85%, Webb graded 87%,
Shirley 91%, and McClinton
83%.
The team should average a
percentage of 65% to win, but
Auburn's secondary per­centage
could not overcome
the team's performance, which
was 35 percentage points be­low
the winning margin.

will determine if the evidence
indicates that he was in­volved
in the traffic or use
of marijuana," Vallery said.
"If the evidence indicates'
that he was involved, he will:
be disenrolled from the uni­versity.
The student may
then request a hearing to
study his case and rule on
his readmittance."
Vallery said that Bennett
will probably be informed to­day
about his fall admittance.
He also said that if Bennett
is tried by a court of law and
found innocent of the charges,
that he may use that finding
as a basis for another request
for readmission.
Alabama law makes it ille­gal
to possess, transport, de­liver,
sell, offer for sale,
barter or give away in any
form drugs classified as nar­cotics,
plus those listed as
illegal by Sec. 242 of the
State Code. This includes
marijuana, opium, heroin and
LSD, as well as barbiturates,
amphetimines, cocaine and
morphine without prescription.
Penalties for the first con­viction
under these statutes
specifies imprisonment up to
one year for illegal traffic in
barbiturates and amphetimines
and 5-20 years imprisonment
for other illegal drug traffic,
plus fines from $500 to $20,000.
'Dry Rush'.
into a social drinking situa-tion-
a situation in which
many rushees who were inex­perienced
drinkers became
drunk.
"I thought 'dry rush' was
very successful for the sim­ple
reason that the rushees
could get a clearer picture of
fraternities because they were
not intoxicated," said Brice
James, Lambda Chi Alpha
president. "We will definitely
favor 'dry rush' in the future."
The only opposing opinion
on "dry rush "came from Mike
Severin, Delta Chi president.
"The system seemed hypo­critical
to me," Severin said.

him to make his own decisions
when you force him to answer
roll calls and tell him he can't
drink during rush. We will
have to oppose 'dry rush' in
the next IFC meeting."
Jerry Lowery, Phi Gamma
Delta president termed "dry
rush unrealistic." A more
complete picture of fraternity
life could be presented if
there was a period of 'dry
rush,' possibly the open
house periods, followed by a
period when each fraternity
could serve alcoholic bever­ages
if they choose to. This
could be done at the nights
of paid entertainment,"
Lowery said.
Kappa Sigma president
Rusty Murray, whose frater­nity
was one of two fined
$50 for an infraction of the
"dry rush" rule, said he was
in favor of "dry rush" unless
a period of wet rush, say
at the paid entertainment
party, could be feasably
worked out."

Engineering and Science at IBM
"The interdisciplinary
environment keeps you
technologically hot:
"Working in data processing today pretty much
means you work in a broad spectrum of tech-nologies,"
says Nick Donofrio.
An Associate Engineer at IBM, Nick is a ^
1967 graduate in Electrical Engineering.'
He designs circuits for MOSFET (Metal
Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect
Transistor) technology.
"Circuit design used to be a narrow
job," he says. "Today it can take you
into the front yard of half a dozen
different fields. In my job, for example,
I work with systems design engineers,
chemists, physicists, metallurgists,
and programmers."
Nick describes a hypothetical case
history: "A systems guy comes to
me and says my computer access
time is too slow. But I believe my
circuits are optimized.
"So I check the actual device in the
lab and, let's say, find that the
f T _ i E curve doesn't peak where it's
supposed to. I report this to the physicist
who made the device, and he either gives
me new data to work with or shows me
something I've overlooked."
Keeping up
The interdisciplinary environment at IBM helps
you keep up to date technologically. As Nick
puts it, "You're constantly exposed to what's
happening in other fields."
IBM needs technical graduates to work in
research, design and development, manufactur
ing, product test, field engineering, and space
and defense projects. We also need technical
people in programming and marketing.

LIVELY ARTS
BylynBabb
Play auditions held tonight
Auditions for Arthur Miller's play, "Death of a Sales­man"
will be held tonight, Friday and Monday in Room
110 of the Music Annex Building at 7. There are eight
male and four female roles to be filled.
"Death of a Salesman" is definitely one ofthe best
plays that an American playwright has written in the
past 20 years, according to Dr. Kenneth Campbell,
director of the play. Both the Pulitzer prize for litera­ture
and the Critics Circle Award were awarded to Arthur
Miller for this play.
" Here is the story of a man who had many dreams
for himself and his children," said Campbell. "It holds
a mirror up to today's society and sharply defines man's
struggle to find happiness in a 'jungle' world of install­ment
plan buying and false values. Quickly becoming an
American classic, 'Death of a Salesman' should be an
important event in Auburn's lively arts season."
Anyone interested in drama is urged by the drama
department to audition for the parts.
I n Mixed Company' to perform
for all-campus dance Friday night
Auburn's first all-campus
dance in several years will
be held tomorrow at 8 p.m.
in the Magnolia Coed Dorm­itory
Complex.
The dance, sponsored by
the Union Social Committee,
will feature "In Mixed Com­pany,"
a rhythm and blues
group composed of four girls
and a boy, all Aubum students,
"Campus-wide dances were
cancelled a few years ago
due to lack of interest and
participation. However, the
dances were resumed on a
trial basis after Tommy Willis,
Senator-at-Large, presented
the Social Committee with a
petition signed by 2000 stu­dents
last spring. The stu­dents
indicated an interest in
attending such a dance,,"Tom
Robertson, Union Program
Director said.
"We want to provide the
kind of entertainment that
Auburn students want," Rob­ertson
said. "The decision of
whether to continue school-sponsored
dances will depend
on student response. Admission
is free."
"In Mixed Company" i s
composed of Bill Hagler,
organist; Jenny Cain, 2SED,
drummer; Wendyne McGowan.
IDR and Carole Haynes, iuk,
guitarists and harmonists; and
Sara Williams, IPV, novelty
singer.
The group made its profes­sional
debut at the Diplomat
Inn in Montgomery in August.
Since then the band has played
for a number of dances and has
appeared at two supper clubs.
Members expect to pay their
way through college with
their group.
Admission is free.
