VOLUME 96 AUBURN UNIVERSITY AUBURN, ALABAMA FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 19P9 14 PAGES NUMBER 20
A sunny day,a gurgling stream, and a beautiful girl—these are some of the elements of on Auburn spring
The serenity that is spring
ACOIA commences
'Urban Crisis' study
Monday at 2 p.m.
"Looks like it's going to be a good
quarter," said the Auburn senior as he
passed a short-skirted, long-haired blonde
on the steps of the L-Building tunnel.
"It's good to be back in a Shop Building
again," he said later to a couple of friends.
They were standing on the sidewalk in
back of Dunstan, watching the coeds pass
by.
"I haven't had a class here since my
freshman days," said the senior.
"I had one here fall quarter," said one
of his friends.
"Yeah, but having a class here in the
fall just doesn't compare with a class here
in the spring," said the senior with a
smile.
It's spring at Auburn, and the girls have
come out.
They are everywhere.
Long ones, short Ones, blondes, bru­nettes,
redheads. (
Girls with close-cropped hair, girls
with hair flowing down past their shoul­ders.
Green-eyed, brown-eyed, blue-eyed
girls. Friendly, smiling girls, and girls
with looks that could kill; girls with
dreams in their eyes. Girls with noses
peeling from sunburn; girls tanned from
spring breaks at the beach.
More girls than in winter, more than in
fall. At least it seems that way.
And with their appearance come the girl
watchers. They line the alley behind Duns-tan,
sitting with backs against the brick
building. They dangle legs from the back
steps of Wilmore, the front steps of Ross.
They lean against railings in Commons,
sprawl on benches in Samford Park.
Watching the girls. Girls downtown
shopping, d r i b b l i n g lime sherbert off
dimpled chins while waiting for the light
at Toomer's Corner. Girls from "the Hill"
on their way to Commons and points north,
girls stopping to pet a puppy in front of
the Library.
They watch. Disregarding note taking
to look out a window into Ross Square,
losing their places in library books at the
sound of small footsteps and swishing
skirts.
The watchers differ in intensity. Some
as casual. Some are open to anything
( "If it moves, watch it"); some are hard­core
("I give her eight points onaten-point
scale"); some are specialists ("Only
watch blondes").
And watching is not limited to students.
"Understand that I'm not up with things
as much as some people," said an instruc­tor,"
but it looks like a spring with high­er
winds and shorter skirts than usual."
Some watchers are very particular. They
watch only one girl, and she is special.
She will be watched all spring, be it
coming out of class, in the darkness of a
movie theater or perhaps in the solitude
of a sunny day on the rocks at Chewacla,
with only the gurgle of a stream to break
the serenity that is spring.

Teacher evaluation questionnaires
mailed to over 7,000 students
By LYN SCARBROUGH

Suspected tape player thieves
charged with auto burglary
By JIMMY REEDER
Police are continuing
their investigation of recent
thefts of stereo tape play­ers
and tapes from auto­mobiles
despite the arrest
of two persons who alleged­ly
broke into an automobile
"baited" with a tape player
and eight tapes in plain sight.
Radford William Davis, 3
GEH, and John Edward Braun,
21, of Rt. 2, Auburn, were ar­rested
Tuesday night in the
parking lot of the Casino Club
on Highway 29 and charged
with possession of burglary
tools and burglary of an auto­mobile.
Braun is not listed as
a student in either the campus
directory or the Union sche­dule
file, although a spokes­man
for the Lee CountySher-iff's
Office said Braun is a
part time student.
Det. Lt. Frank deGraffen-ried
and Officer Albert May
made the arrest after watching
the car for nearly an hour.
Approximately 40 tape players
and "several hundred" tapes
have been taken from automo­biles
since last fall, accord­ing
to Auburn Police Chief
Fred Hammock.
"We will continue baiting
cars until these thefts are en­ded,
either by arrests or the
thieves stop out of fear oi"
getting caught," said Ham­mock.
"In the meantime, cit­izens
can help protect them­selves
by keeping their cars
locked and not hesitating to
report any suspicious activi-

ty. I would also urge every­one
to make some mark on
their tape players so they can
be identified if the serial
number is removed.''
Braun allegedly gained en­try
to the car by breaking the
right ventilator window with a
crowbar. He appeared to be
tampering with the tape player
when police approached the
car. Braun ran, but stopped
when deGraffenried fired a
warning shot. Davis, who re­mained
in the suspects' car,
was then apprehended.
Burglary tools were found
in the car and in Braun's
pockets, May said. Davis and
Braun were charged with pos­session
of burglary tools. In
addition, Braun was charged
with burglary of an automo­bile.
They were turned over

Duplicating fire
A fire of undetermined origin flared up
in the Duplicating Services building Tues­day
afternoon and caused an estimated
$70,000 in damages before it was extin­guished.
Three small duplicating presses
were destroyed and two offset presses
in the blaze. Trucks from the Auburn and
Opelika Fire Departments were called in
to fight the fire. Parts of the roof, floor
and structural members of the building
will have to be replaced, according to
Col. L.E. Funchess, superintendent of
Buildings and Grounds. For complete
story, see page 5.
student evaluation leaders
by April 5 for processing.
Results of the question­naires
will be used to com­pile
a published teacher-course
evaluation booklet,
which is tentatively sche­duled
for distribution April
28. The 100-120 page booklet
will contain comments on in­dividual
instructors, courses
and departments.
The booklet is being fi­nanced
independent of Uni­versity
funds, due to failure
by the University Faculty
Senate Executive Committee
to report the evaluation pro­posal
favorably to the Faculty
Senate. President Philpott
had earlier informed student
leaders that Senate approval
would be necessary before
University funds could be used.
Women students may send
their completed evaluation
forms to the Union Building
through the campus mail. Cen­trally
located boxes to be used
for return of questionnaires
will be available for male stu­dents
to utilize.
"We feel that we are reach­ing
the most students possi­ble
in order to do a thorough,
objective and fair job of eval­uation,"
said Faculty Rela­tions
director Jim Mills. "We
have a staff of about 20 vol­unteer
students who have ad­dressed
envelopes and re­vised
forms."
Student leaders and faculty
members will compose the re­viewing
staff which will do
the actual writing of the book­let.
Finances have come from
fraternities, sororities and
campus student organizations.
Further funds will be obtained
from advertising in the book­let
and additional requests for
funds will be made.
Student leaders said that
over $1000 has already been
made available for the project.
Any organization wishing to •
financially support the pro­gram
should contact Jim Mills
in the Student Body office in
the Union Building.
"Our success will depend
totally upon cooperation and
support of students and con­cerned
faculty," Mills said.,
"We regret that the faculty,
leaders did not see fit to give
us their assistance and co­operation.
However, we will
fulfill our promise to the stu­dent
body and produce this'
objective evaluation booklet.."
Publicati on of t e a c h e r'
course evaluation results has
been discussed among stu­dent
government officials for
many years. However, if the
booklet is printed and dis-.
tributed this quarter, it will
be the first time that such a
proposal has been implemented.

/ '
Husband-Wife faculty
teams receive approval
Friday, March 28, 1969 3 - THE AUBURN PuiNtMAN
The Auburn Board ot
Trustees, March 12, ap­proved
a Senate Council
recommendation to change
university policy on ap­pointments
and tenure to
permit husbands and their
wives to have permanent ap­pointments
and to acquire
tenure.
The proposed change which
carried President Harry M.
Philpott's recommendation
was unanimously approved
with little discussion.
Husband and wife may both
serve on the faculty now ex­cept
in cases where one
would exercise direct admin­istrative
supervision over
the other.
Note was given in approv­ing
the proposal to the fact
that most universities do not
now restrict the employment
of husband and wife in perma­nent
academic positions and
that such a policy is a dis­tinct
advantage in recruit­ing
outstanding faculty mem­bers.
In case of major staff re­ductions
for financial reasons
a classification of "indefinite"
appointment was approved as
a means to end tenure of
either husband or wife.
Approval for a revision of
the right-of-way for a pro­posed
by-pass west of Au­burn
was also granted by the
Board.
The by-pass will provide a
connecting route between
U. S. 280 and Interstate 85.
Bids were opened today on the
first of three phases provid­ing
for grading and draining
5.12 miles of the proposed by­pass
from U. S. 29 to State
Road 147 north of Auburn.
The project is expected to
be completed in about two
and one half years and will
help to alleviate traffic con-j
estion during football games.
Three new scholarship
loan funds for students in
civil and electrical engin­eering
and history were ap­proved
in accordance with
the will of the late Miss Kate
M. Lane who bequeathed
$15,000 for the fund.
Trustee Walston Hester
in other discussion urged
that thought be given to nam­ing
a campus building for the
late Gov. Lurleen B. Wal­lace
sometime in the future.

appeal construction fines
By MIKE WAZLAVEK
Overdue construction fines
against Jones and Hardy Con­struction
Co., contractor for
the $6 million Memorial Coli­seum,
have been appealed to
the State Building Commis­sion.
The firm received one offi­cial
extension in construction
time; the original deadline for
completion, Sept. 15, 1968,
was extended to Dec. 1, 1968.
The extension was granted
because of record 1967 rain­fall;
penalties which would
have ordinarily been charged
against the contractors were
not enforced on this basis.
However, union difficul­ties
and unavailability of
skilled workers such as car­penters
and masonry workers
caused more delay.
The steelworkers union
contracted to install the steel
trusses for ceiling support
would not permit its members
to continue installation while
non-union men worked on the
concrete facings and supports
when union men were capable
of the work.
The contractors made their
new appeal for a time exten­sion
because of the conflict
in union jurisdiction. The
amount of a penalty fine is
yet to be decided, if penalties
are awarded.
city zoning ordinances were
revised last summer after two
years of study. Part of Lake-view
and other areas rela­tively
far from campus were
restricted for unmarried stu­dents.
Last fall, many students
who had rented in the area
became alarmed after a num­ber
of Lakeview residents
filed a petition demanding the
eviction of all students from
that area on the basis of the
city zoning ordinance.
"We are without the finan­ces
or personnel to evict all
students in the area," said
Haygood. "It would require
door-to-door questioning of
residents, so we are proceed­ing
on a complaint basis. This
satisfied the Council and
seems to have satisfied the
residents, since we have had
no complaints," said Hay­good.
Both Haygood and Police
Chief Fred Hammock antici­pate
a rising number of com­plaints
during spring quarter.
Complaints will be brought to
the attention of students and
landlords involved, and ' 'nec­essary
action will be taken;
if necessary, we can fall back
on the zoning ordinance,"
said Haygood.
A view from 70 stories up
When classes begin this summer in the
new $6.2 million Haley Center, students
and faculty will get a chance to view the
Auburn campus from ten stories up—some­thing
never heretofore possible. This shot
of Cliff Hare Stadium and Memorial Col­iseum
was taken from the promenade deck
of the central office tower. Departments
in Arts and Sciences and Education are
scheduled to move into the Center before
the end of May.
Senate to vote on changes
in cheerleader requirements
By SHARON LIVINGSTON
Plans for c h a n g e s in
cheerleader requirements
and selection will be sub­mitted
to the Student Sen­ate
for vote before April 21.
The Cheerleader Revamp­ing
Committee meets for the
final time today to complete
its proposed plans, according
toDennis Haynes, head cheer­leader.
"The major change pro­posed
by the committee is to
be in the persons making up
the Selection Committee,"
Haynes said. "Many com­plaints
have been made con­cerning
the membership of
this committee, and we want
all s t u d e n t s to know that
cheerleader selection is not
rigged."
A few days before tryouts
|begin, judges will observe
two couples of the ]present
cheerleaders and will be
shown what to look for in the
selections.
Other proposed changes will
require that more attention be
given to student classifica­tion
and the number of hours
completed by the t r y o u t s.
The Cheerleader Clinic will
be held April 21-25, and try­outs
will begin April 29. All
interested students must be
registered no later than April
25.
Richardson appointed
to Montgomery branch
Montgomery branch
suit ruling due soon
A decision on the latest attempt to block construction
of an Auburn campus in Montgomery is expected "fairly
quickly" by veteran observers of the Alabama Supreme
Court. The high court is expected to give the case a
preferred status and render agrument was rejected by a
a decision in about two
months.
The fate of the proposed
four-year degree-granting
program will be decided as
the court reviews a circuit
court decision upholding the
legality of legislation author­izing
a $5 million bond issue
to finance the proposed fac­ility.
The suit was filed by
Joe Reed, executive secre­tary
of the Alabama State
Teachers Association (ASTA),
and Albert Harris, a school­teacher.
The Negro educator.. group
had earlier challenged the
the proposed campus in a Fe­deral
court suit alleging the
Auburn branch would perpe­tuate
segregation in Alabama' s
higher education system. This
three judge Federal panel in
Montgomery and by the U.S.
Supreme Court.
The Federal courts refused
to rule on ASTA's contention
that the legislation providing
the bond issue was void be­cause
it provided money for
the "support and mainte­nance"
of the new branch.
The state constitution pro­vides
that bonds may be is­sued
only for constructing
and equipping new facilities.
The Public School and
College Authority admitted in
state court that this parti­cular
section of the law was
unconstitutional. However,
state officials said that por­tion
of the act was severable
and the remainder of the bond
issue legislation should be
be allowed to stand.

Price of a panty raid
President Philpott has made his
position clear in regard to campus
disruptions whether they be panty
raids or violent protest demonstrations.
In a statement issued today, Dr.
Philpott said, "...If any disturbance
develops, regardless of the inciting
cause, the university will take the
necessary steps immediately to pro­tect
its personnel and property and in­sure
the normal functioning of the uni­versity.
. .Students engaged in any
disruptive or destructive activity will
be subject to prompt disciplinary ac­tion
and, if appropriate, to civil ac­tion."
Although the Philpott statement is
purposely broad enough to cover any
kind of campus disturbance, it is
aimed primarily at panty raiders. Re­ferring
to "incidents which occurred
at Auburn last spring," Philpott warns
that activities which start as innocent
pranks can turn into massive distur­bances
resulting in personal injury
and property damage.
This happened at last spring's pan­ty
raid at Auburn Hall. What may have
begun as "good collegiate fun" ended
inthearrest of 25students, 14 of whom
were fined a total of $740. Several
people were injured by thrown rocks
and bottles and Auburn Hall was dam­aged.
This is hardly fun. It was a de­plorable
situation and necessitated
the policy statement today.
If the "Panty Raid" call goes out
later this quarter, consider the risk
and the consequences. It could be an
expensive venture, and a dangerous one.
Is it 'just a bad year?'
"It's just a bad year for drives."
This excuse has been used many
times in the past two years as several
campus drives have failed to meet
their goals. This year's blood drive,
to be held April 9 -10, has received
less emphasis than any blood drive in
recent years. The goal is a modest
3,000 pints, almost 700 pints less
than the number donated last year.
There will be no competitive spirit
in this year's drive. "No awards will
be presented to groups donating the
most blood," says chairman John Cot-ney.
"It will be strictly voluntary this
year to show people that we care."
Auburn, which holds the world's
record for blood donation-4,812 pints
in 1967's two day drive, has taken
pride in its blood drive in the past.
If interest in the blood drive is shift­ing
or waning among student govern­ment
committees, it's time for the stu­dent
body to accept the challenge,
surpass the goal and prove once again
that the Auburn student body cares.
Students arise!
Mere to stay...
Policy on Red China
needs practical revision
By David Housel
The United States' policy toward Com­munist
China is like the attitude of a
small boy who must walk by a graveyard on his way home on
a dark, stormy night.
The call has been sounded. The
Alabama Legislature will meet in spe­cial
session at Gov. Albert Brewer's
beckoning Tuesday in an effort to
raise approximately $100 million in
educational funds.
There is the very real threat that
the session may become bogged in
urban-rural political battles and pres­tige
building strategies between sev­eral
would-be candidates for lieuten-and
governor.
The legislators involved should
realize that the future of Alabama ed­ucation
is at stake. Disagreements
and personal aspirations should take
a back-seat to the principal task of
increasing the financial assets of
Alabama's educational system.
For several months now, students
at all of the state's major colleges
have been preparing to contact their
respective legislators to communicate
their concern for higher education.
Now is the time to act. Talk to your
legislator and urge him to support ad­ditional
funding of higher education.
Education and the future of Alabama
depends on active participation by
education's supporters. Do your part.
You'll help yourself by doing so.
Auburn and the Urban Crisis
Auburn, a small east Alabama town
with a population of 28,000 people-half
of whom are students-is no bust­ling
metropolis. The majority of Au­burn
students come from Southern com­munities
and towns, and their imme­diate
association with a megalopolis
such as the overlapping cities dom­inating
the eastern seaboard, is lim­ited
to the overlapping business dis­tricts
lining the seven mile Auburn-
Opelika "freeway."
Beginning Monday and continuing
through Wednesday, the Auburn Confer­ence
on International Affairs (ACOIA)
will examine the Urban Crisis. Chair­man
Mike Watson and his staff have ob­tained
many outstanding speakers for
this year's symposium which will con­sider
urban problems ranging from ghet­tos,
communication and transportation
to sociological and economic difficult­ies
in the city. The ACOIA program
and speakers are covered in detail in
a supplement in today's Plainsman.
As America becomes more urban­ized,
the cities' problems will increase
and become more complex. It is al­ready
impossible to ignore them. Con­sidering
the recent city riots, it is
obvious that the cities' problems are
having a profound effect on American
thought and opinion. Auburn students
who, following graduation, accept jobs
in urban areas will have to deal with
these difficulties. The problems must
be solved, and to deal with them effec­tively,
Auburn students must under­stand
and appreciate their magnitude.
This is the goal of ACOIA, 1969.
Plan to attend. It will be worth the
effort.
The United States, like
the little boy, would like to
ignore China, hoping it will
just go away-but a strong
government which has con­trolled
the 780 million peo­ple
of the Chinese mainland
for almost 20 years will not
just "go away."
The United States should
scrap its archaic China pol­icy
and adopt a more realis­tic
attitude toward the world's
newest nuclear power. A rad­ical
reversal of current policy
would be required. This re­versal
would no doubt be
regarded as a sign of weak­ness
by some but it would
actually be a move from the
unrealistic fantasies to a
practical attitude toward the
Red Chinese.
Consider the following
points in our policy toward
the Peking government. We
refuse to recognize the legit­imacy
of the Communist gov­ernment
in China. We main­tain
total embargo on trade
with the Chinese and have an
almost absolute ban on travel.
We also are staunch oppo­nents
of Red China's en­trance
into the United Na­tions.
This policy was de­signed
to isolate and con­tain
the Red Chinese, but it
has failed.
The U. S. is one of the
few remaining countries that
does not recognize Red
China. When the Commun­ists
gained control of the
mainland in 1949, the U. S.
refused to extend diplomatic
recognition to MaoTse-Tung's
government on the premise
that it did not control all of
the mainland and did not
rule by the consent of the
governed. Now, 20 years
later, Mao is still in firm con­trol
of the entire mainland
and has ruled the Chinese
masses for two decades. His
government is no longer "tem­porary"
as we would like to
believe.
Our isolationist trade pol­icy
toward the Chinese has
also failed. Instead of iso­lating
the Chinese from world
trade, we have only isolated
ourselves from Chinese trade.
Few of our allies have adop­ted
the U. S.'s hard line
against Peking.
Our refusal to recognize
Red China has forced us to
oppose her bids for member­ship
in the United Nations.
The United Nations is a world
body whose purpose is to
maintain world peace. Prac­ticality
demands membership
of the world's most populous
country in the U. N. China, a
rising nuclear power, will
within a few short years, hold
the future of the world under
the missle launch button.
The reasons for improving
relations with China should
be obvious. Certainly the
reasons are numerous. U. S.
soldiers have died fighting
Mao's soldiers in Korea and
possibly in Vietnam. The
U. S. Senate is currently de­bating
the plausibility of in­stalling
an anti-ballistic mis­sle
system to defend against
Chinese attack. The United
States must deal with China
directly sooner or later.
China's role in the world
of the next decade is immea­surable.
She has the man­power
and the technology to
cause chaos, and she cannot
and should not be ignored or
held in illusionary visions.
In the past.U. S. overtures
of friendship toward the Chin­ese
such as opening the doors
for cultural exchanges have
been rejected, probably be­cause
we were pursuing what
has been called a "carrot-stick"
policy. We were con­genial
in one area, but ag-ressive
in other areas. The
time has come for a good
hard look at our Chinese pol­icy,
and a sincere effort to
improve relations in all areas
is needed.
As long as the Vietnam war
continues, it is unlikely that
there can be any improvement
in U. S.-Chinese relations,
but the Russo-Chinese dis­putes
have changed the Chi­nese
attitude toward our
friendship overtures.
We should begin by opening
trade and cultural exchanges
with China. Admission of Red
China to the U. N. would be
another solid step provided
Nationalist China was al­lowed
to remain a member-
U. N. membership is impor­tant,
but improved dual rela­tions
is most important.
Recognition of the Soviet
Union in th<> 1930's was a
big step for the United States.
Despite ideological disagree­ments,
th» U. S. and the So­viets
hi .u managed to dis­cuss
and solve many threat­ening
issues. Perhaps the
same type relationship could
be obtained with Red China,
if we would but make a con­centrated
effort.

Yea, us! 11
Fruit of hard work:
an 'All-American' award
By James Thornton
At 4 o'clock one Wednesday morning five
Plainsman staffers walked out of the base­ment
of Langdon Hall and locked the door.
The sun had not yet risen as we drove wearily to our sepa­rate
rooms and grabbed a quick three and one half hours of
sleep. Behind us, we left the beginnings of another issue of
The Plainsman on the lay
out boards, in the copy bas­ket
and on the typewriters.
Then, cutting our morning
classes-the ones we had
cuts left in-trudged back to
the office in Langdon 108 and
proceeded to wind up that
week's edition. Other staff
members came in later to help.
Late in the afternoon the
office became a pressurized
beehive as the struggle began
to beat the 6 p.m. deadline.
These are common occur­rences
every week for mem­bers
of the Auburn Plains­man
staff. We don't have to
do it. But we do. Why? Each
member has his own reasons.
I take this opportunity to
boast of our past efforts, for
last week The Auburn Plains­men
student newspaper re­ceived
one of the highest
awards possible for a col­legiate
newspaper.
We're an "All-American"
newspaper-for the sixth con­secutive
time. And I'm going
to crow a little bit.
Night after night, week
after week, a dedicated group
of journalists and interested
students have worked dili­gently
to provide 14,000
Students can help education
The following is one of a series of
"Campus Perspective" articles written
by administrators, faculty members and
student leaders here. Bob Douglas, Auburn
co-chairman for Students for Higher Edu­cation,
is this week's guest columnist.
We, as students in Alabama, are dead
last in education. We are on the bottom,
and the distance to the top is growing
even greater. Gone are the days of the
conscience-saving phrase, "Thank God
for Mississippi." Even our long-scorned
sister state has outstripped pur feeble
educational efforts. Obviously, dramatic
action must be taken and
with the special session
of the state legislature
forthcoming, the time is
now.
Whoever first said that
money was the root of all
evil, may have made a
h a s t y generalization.
Money-and lots of i t - is
the medicine needed to
alleviate Alabama's edu-
The figures presented in
the Report of the Alabama Education Study
Commission well reflect the gravity of the
state's needs. To bring Alabama educa­tion
to the average for Southern states
would require an increase of over S200
million. Such staggering figures are to­tally
beyond reach. Yet, something must
be done.
Realizing the need for immediate ac­tion,
the Commission requested a mini­mum
appropriation of $75 million. How­ever,
recent predictions indicate that the
legislature is only aiming for about $35
million this year.
Clearly need is a powerful force that
can enact from the legislature an ade­quate
appropriation. Governor Brewer, as j
a former member of the Commission, is I
the perfect man for the job. Yet, it ap­pears
that he may have elected to place
political considerations before strong sup­port
for the state's most desperately need­ed
program. The legislature must be prod­ded
and if Governor Brewer refuses to do
it, the people of the state must do it 1
themselves. 1
Students for Higher Education (SHE) a |
state-wide movement of college students I
initiated by Auburn student senator David ||
Hill, is an excellent first step Through 1
Auburn students with a news­paper.
We have striven to provide
a comprehensive coverage of
campus news events and to
do so in accordance with the
highest code of journalism-get
it fair, and get it right.
The Associated College
Press judge, G.D. Heibert,
paid high compliments to The
Plainsman's news perspec­tive,
to the human interest
element in feature stories, to
news story leads and sports.
Heibert also praised The
Plainsman editorial policy
saying, "you seem to tell it
like it is on campus."
The Plainsman editorial
policy is entirely in the hands
of the student editors, though
presented within the bounds
of decency, fair play and good
taste. No organization, cam-or
otherwise, controls this
policy. We play patsy to no
one but we listen to all.
Although Heibert knocked
points from the photography
and copyediting departments,
we can and will improve the
situation. "Those 'Love­liest
of the Plains' pictures
are a little forced at times,"
noted Heibert.
The "All-American" award
is the result of long hours of
hard work, below normal
grades, frustration, loss of
sleep and someti mes a lot
of fun.
We are indeed proud of our
accomplishments, not so much
for ourselves but for the stu­dents
and faculty of the Uni­versity.
We are by no means per­fect.
We may make mistakes.
But we try harder.

cational ills.
this program, hundreds of Alabama col­lege
students have spoken with state
legislators in an effort to win support for
the Commission recommendations. Accord­ing
to SHE state publicity director Lyn
Scarbrough, also an Auburn student, most
students found legislators responsive. The
student organization will continue to press
for education support. However, the
group's vast success must only be a first
step.
Students must take the responsibility
to visit their legislators. They must write
their legislators and take an interest in
the future of education. They owe it not
only to the university and to the state,
but also to themselves and to those who
will follow. The challenge is before us.
Now is the time for action.

Politics...
Participants
should know
game rules
By Joe Lehman
Politics-the real, live,
thrilling variety, the kind of
politics previously unknown
at Auburn-arrived here last
Monday night. And the re­sults
caused the "rolling
plains" of the loveliest vil­lage
to quake like a storm-tossed
ocean.
Prior to
this unher­alded
arriv­al,
the brand
of political
activity on
this campus
had euphoric
never - step -
on-anyone's
toes quality.
There were never any major
campaign issues with candi­dates
offering diametrically
opposed solutions. And never,
never was there a political
battle for a party nomination.
But, things change, even
at Auburn-sometimes.
And last Monday night was
one of those rare occasions.
Two well-qualified candi­dates
raced neck and neck
for their party's presidential
namination. The first ballot
count stood 11-9 with two
other votes cast for a rela­tively
unknown aspirant. Now
the nominee had to win with
a majority, or so the chair
and the rest of the party
thought. Secret balloting,
round two,, and this time the
lineup was 11-11, so the
chair broke the tie.
All this was not extraor­dinary;
just a little different
from the past because there
had been a close party race.
The nomination procedures
had been conducted in good
faith and had secured a note­worthy
nominee from two
noteworthy candidates. But
now it was over...or so it
seemed.
In actuality, real political
activity was about to be born
at Auburn. Someone remem­bered
parliamentary procedure
and called for a division of
the house. Confusion reigned
momentarily; the political
game changed and no one,
especially this writer, was
sure of the rules. But then
the roll call vote started,
and things seemed to return to
normalcy. Another 11-11 re­sult
and once again, in keep­ing
with "Robert's Rules
or Order," the chair broke the
tie. The party had the same
nominee as before.
Now this was different.
For the first time, the suppor­ters
of each candidate were
inspired by a strong belief
that their man offered the best
solutions for the problems
facing student government.
This belief led the sup­porters
of the loser to ano­ther
first. They consulted
the party's constitution and
found that according to the
written rules of the political
game only a plurality was
required for a candidate to
secure the nomination. There­fore,
their man in polling 11
votes on the first ballot had
actually won. Once again,
they rallied their forces and
moved for a vote on the chair's
earlier ruling that a nomina­tion
winner must have a vote
majority. And, here, the poli­tical
fray became intense.
Tempers flared, emotions
raged; some argued logically,
others showed their ignorance,
and some disgustedly wished
the whole mess was over. The
meeting had lasted three and
one-half hours and now there
was another vote which re­quired
a majority to rescind
the chair's decision in order
to ballot all three candidates
again. Someone had finally
done his homeowrk and dur­ing
the course of the meeting
had learned the rules of the
game.
But now it was too late.
The game was over. The
party expressed its will to
support the chair in a 12-10
vote. A nominee had been
chosen, and the party was
satisfied.
Perhaps, this whole affair
was regrettable, but at least
a truly competitive political
spirit, the type of political
spiritwhich makes democracy
thrive, was awakened. And
further, there is a political
lesson for all of us in this
awakening: "If you're going
to play the game, you've got
to know the rules."

Philpott issues warning
on spring panty raids
5- THE AUBURN PuiNftHN Friday, March 28, 1969
"It must be made clear that
if any disturbance develops,
regardless of the inciting
cause, the University will
take the necessary steps im­mediately
to protect mem­bers
of the University from
personal injury and its pro­perty
from damage and to
insure that the normal func­tions
of the University are
maintained."
This is the essence of
a policy statement concern­ing
disturbances at Auburn
issued by Pres. Harry M.
Philpott today.
The statement came as a
reminder to all members of the
University community that the
administration would not to­lerate
incidents, "panty
raids," such as last spring
quarter.
Fourteen students were con­victed
in city court last April
on charges stemming from a

"Activities which begin as
innocent pranks too often are
transformed rapidly into mas­sive
disturbances resulting
in personal injury and property
damage even in time of gene­ral
tranquility," said the
statement.
"The danger is much grea­ter
at a time such as this when
tensions and even violent
confrontation can develop so
quickly on a university
campus.
"It is imperative, therefore,
that every member of the
University recognize the po­tential
danger and refrain from
participating in or contribu­ting
to any activity which
might be expected to lead to
disruption, personal injury or
property damage."
The statement warned that
"students engaging in or con­tributing
to any disruptive or
destructive activity will be
subject to prompt disciplinary
action and, if appropriate, to
civil action.
"Those who are not members
of the University community
and who interfere with its
fucntioning will be brought
before the proper civil autho­rities."
The statement urged that
for their own protection
students should have their
student LD.'s with them at all
times.

Math professor 'flunked out' for giving all 'AY
By David Hill
Arthur DuPre, a math professor; is apparently "flunk­ing
out" of Ohio's Wright State University. DuPre was
called before a special school hearing because he gave
all of his students "A's" last sememter. DuPre.refer-ring
to the hearing as a "virtual attack," said that he
was going to quit. He defended his position stating that
the students made their "A's" by the standards he had
set up for grading. While DuPre was continuing to ex­press
amazement at his student's academic prowess,
fellow faculty members seemed less impressed.
DRESS RULES ABOLISHED
A recommendation to abolish all women's dress regu­lations
was passed by the Louisiana State University
AWS Council recently. AWS Pres. Cecily Hoffins said,
however, that all AWS Council decisions are subject to
approval of dean of women. She also added, ' 'Professors
will have the prerogative to set dress regulations for their
individual classes..." The University of Mississippi
chapter of the American Association of University Pro­fessors
(AAUP) lashed out last week at the university
administration for what it called "flagrant violation" of
the principles of academic freedom. Eight Ole Miss stu­dents
were arrested March 13 by the University and bound
over to the Lafayette County sheriff fa demonstrating
against the school's compulsory ROTC policy.
The next day, the University had federal marshalls
serve an injunction on Dr. Earle Reynolds, Far Eastern
Affairs expert, while he was delivering a guest lecture
in a political science class. The grounds alleged by the
University in seeking the injunction were that Dr. Rey­nolds'
appearance would result in "irreparable injuries
to the University of Mississippi and to the great ma­jority
of students there and the educational process."
$5 MILLION MEMORIAL
How would you like a school named for you? Christian
College in Columbia, Mo., a two year school for women,
is spending $5,000 on advertising to find someone who
will donate $5 million.
The advertisement reads "Guess what we'll give you
for $5 m i l l i o n . We'll rename our 118-year-old
college after you."
The nonsectarian school, with an enrollment of 540
students from 32 states and 13 foreign countries, has an
annual budget of $2 million dollars.

Duplicating Service
suffers $70,000 fire
By JAMES THORNTON
A fire in the Duplicating
Service Building late Tues­day
afternoon almost put the
University facility out of
business as the blaze des­troyed
five presses worth an
estimated $50,000 and caused
about $20,000 structural dam­age
to the building.
The city fire department re­ceived
the alarm at 5:54 p.m.
and sent two 750 gal. pumper
trucks to the building on Don­ahue
Ave., stated Fire Chief
Ellis Mitchell. Opelika fire
department also sent a 65 foot
aerial ladder truck to the
fire.
Cause of the blaze is still
undetermined, but the fire
broke out near or on a work­bench
in the printing room on
the north side of the build­ing,
said Chief Mitchell.
"We are setting up two
other presses to take over
the work load, and we will do
everything possible to meet
all demands of the Univer­sity,"
said W. L. Jones, dup­licating
supervisor.
Duplicating Service does a
major portion of University
printing work. Only a small
amount of printed material^
mostly ACOIA brochures, was
damaged in the blaze, but
this is being reprinted on the
two operating presses.
Destroyed in the blaze were
three small duplicating pres­ses
and damaged were two
offset presses.
Part of the roof, floor and
structural members will have
to be rebuilt. Several ad­joining
rooms also suffered
heat and water damage. The
interior of the entire build­ing
will have to be repainted,
stated Col. L. E. Funchess
of Building and Grounds. Re­pairs
began yesterday.

AUBURN COACH PAUL NIX AND SOUTH ALABAMA'S EDDIE STANKEY
Former Chicago Manager will be in Auburn May 23
By DON EDDINS
Coach Paul Nix's base-balling
Tigers come off a
somewhat disappointing
"spring training" roadtrip
as they meet Oglethorpe
College this afternoon in
Plainsman Park at 2:30.
Auburn will play West Geor­gia
and Oglethorpe again to­morrow,
in a special double
header. West Georgia and
Oglethorpe will play at 1-
So far this year's season
can be summed up by that old
saying, "you win some, you
lose some, and some get
rained out."
The Tigers split a pair
with FSU in Tallahassee,
swept a two game set from
Springhill in Mobile, and
jropped a pair to the Univer­sity
of South Alabama in the
same city. Two games sche­duled
with Loyola of New
Orleans were rained out.
"We are going to have a
better team than we have
shown so far. There might be
a few changes-but we are
going to win," said Nix.
"Our pitching is better than
we expected at this time, but
our hitting has left a little
to be desired. But when the
hot weather comes it should
improve."
In the season opener with
FSU March 14, Auburn's
pitching staff threw a 13 in­ning
shut out at the Semi-noles
and the Tigers pushed
across a run in the 13th to
squeeze out a 1-0 victory.
Beal Lazenby, the last of
four Tiger pitchers was cre­dited
with the victory. La­zenby
also scored the only
run of the game when he came
home on a sacrifice fly by
Joe Haefner.
The Seminoles bounced
back to gain a split of the set
the following day however.
FSU could manage only one
run of Tiger pitching, but
used five Auburn errors to
beat the Tigers 6-1.
Auburn collected 20 hits to,
rout Springhill 18-4 in the
first of the games in Mobile.
Frank Baldasare was the big
gun for the Tigers. Baldasare
hit safely in five of six trips
to the plate and ignited an
eight run second inning with
a double.
A three run rally in the
eighth inning of the second
game gave Auburn the victory
and a sweep of the two games
series as the Tigers won 4-2.
Catcher Joe Hollis led the
attack with three hits and
two RBIs.
In the first game with South
Alabama, Auburn was limited
to four hits by the USA pitch­ing
staff as the Jaguars won
2-0.
In the second game, Au­burn
was plagued with errors
once again as South Alabama
won 5-4. Auburn went ahead
3-1 in the third inning on a
bases loaded walk and a two
run single by Joe Hollis, but
the Jaguars bounced back
with the help of five Auburn
miscues.
Hollis leads the team so
far in hitting and runs batted
in while Ken Dempsey is
second in both departments.
Hollis is batting .545 and has
batted in six runs.
Coach Nix-- philospher
One man was out in the bottom of the tenth inning of
Auburn's first baseball game of the '69 season. The
score was 0-0, and Florida State, the number one col­lege
baseball team in the nation last year, had men on
first and second. The Auburn picther, BealLanzenby, had
never pitched in a college game in his life.
To say the least, things were tense in the Auburn dug­out.
It was so quiet you could hear the sweat bouncing
off the dusty floor as the players stared out onto the
playing field. >•- - • •• < . . . . . ..
But then, in a voice just as cool as the other side of
a pillow, came these words: "Hey Beal, don't worry,
you've got a good calm catcher and a confident infield
behind you. Just relax and hum that ball."
The philosopher of Auburn baseball, Coach Paul E.
Nix, was speaking to Lazenby. He spoke again in the
eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth innings. The players
listened-and won 1-0.
"Skipper, as Coach Nix is known to the players, i s a
big talker," said one veteran. "But everything he says
This is not something that goes on just in the spring.
One can go out to Plainsman Park in fall and winter and
see the same scene. It was those things that led Scotty
Long, former Auburn shortstop, to say, "Skipper is a
thorough teacher of the game. He believes in hard work,
but he pushes hiirself just as hard as he pushes his
players."
His early pushing led Nix to a three-year stint with
Pittsburgh Pirates organization after playing at Troy
State. During those three years in the pros, he never
batted less than;300. "From everything he knows," com­mented
a freshman rookie, "Coach Nix must have played
every position."
During games he acts much like he did in that tight
spot at Florida State. If he had a microphone around his
neck every fan in the park would go home knowing
twice as iruch about baseball as when they came.
He i s always thinking, always talking, always teach­ing,
always philosophizing.

makes sense. And he really knows his baseball. Before
I came to Auburn I didn't know anything compared to
what he has taught me."
And after a six-game road trip with the Tigers between
quarters, I saw what the players mean when they talk of
their big,6'3" slightly balding coach.
But his record speaks for itself. Nix's six teams have
won four SEC Eastern D i v i s i o n titles and two SEC
championships. His 1967 team won the SEC title, NCAA
District II title and finished in a tie for third in the Col­lege
World Series in Omaha, Neb. In that year he also
was honored as NCAA District II Coach of the Year.
During one stretch of road between Tallahassee and
Mobile the man who coached Auburn baseball to a 125-54
record had the floor for 150 uninterrupted miles. He
philosophized on Auburn baseball from the right to the
left field foul lines.
Players work...
"This team has got a lot of talent. I've had teams
with better ability but if this teair can get the right men­tal
attitude we can win big.
"If a boy wants to play for me, he's got to want to
work and have a great desire to win. Every boy who gets
a baseball scholarship to Auburn has a good chance to
play pro ball." Again, the record book tells the story.
Twenty of Nix's players have been All-SEC first team
and pitcher Q.V. Lowe was a 1967 first team All-Ameri­can.
On the practice field Coach Nix is also not at a loss
for words. I clocked him once at 45 minutes as he ex­plained
the correct way to hold your hand around a base­ball
bat and another 35 minutes on how to hold your feet
as you come sliding into third. "One thing about it
though," said Frank Baldasare, last year's leading hit­ter
in the SEC, "you never get tired of listening to him.
He can make a lot of long practices pass by quickly
with his speeches."
During batting practice you can hear him yelling from
the mound; he is one of the few coaches who pitches
batting practice. "Hey, Shafer, get your hands in. Drop
your right elbow. Get off your heels. Relax and swing
smooth."
"I remember one game in the '67 season," continued
Long. "It was against Florida, and we had to win to
play Mississippi State for the SEC title. It was the sev­enth
or eighth inning, and the score was tied. Our pitch­er,
Jimmy Crysel, walked and Nix had him steal second.
It's an almost unheard of thing for a pitcher to steal,but
Nix did it anyway, and Crysel ended up scoring the win­ning
run."
This aggressiveness and willing to gamble attitude is
one reason his players have such confidence in Nix.
They know he will accept a challenge but at the same
time play close to percentage baseball.
But don't think Coach Nix i s all baseball-he's not.
Off the field the pin-stripe of a baseball uniform turns
into the pin-stripe of an executive suit. Walking through
the bus you will see the expected baseball and sport
magazines, but when you get to Nix's seat you run upon
U.S. News and World Report, Time and Business Week.
"I've always been interested in world finance and the
national debt and that kind of stuff, along with baseball,"
said Nix on that long bus ride.

Auburn signs
three top cagers
By KEN MILLICAN
Auburn landed three of
the South's top cage prizes
this past week by signing
Dan Kirkland of Columbus,
Ga., and Bobby Nix from
Owen County, Ky., to grant-in-
aids and receiving a com­mittment
from 6-7 Ralph Smith
of Woodlawn High School in
Birmingham.
Kirkland, ranked the No. 1
high school player in Georgia
all season, scored 940 points
as a senior and averaged 33.5
points per game. In his last
ten games the average was
38.6.
In the semi-finals of the
region tournament Dan scored
61 points against Carver, the
eventual state runner-up. The
next night in the consolation
he scored 51.
Picked as one of the top
100 high school players in
the nation before the season
started, Kirkland ranked no.
one in the Atlanta Journal
poll as the top prepper for
the entire season.
Coach Bill Lynn says of
Kirkland, "Dan is the out­standing
all-round player
every team needs. Naturally,
he can score. However, he is
a full-time student of the
game and plays on both ends
of the court."
Smith, Woodlawn's towering
center, announced Saturday
that he will join Kirkland and
Nix on next year's Tiger
frosh. Smith was a three yeaf
starter for Coach BillMcNair's
Colonels and received over
100 contacts concerning col­lege
basketball. He also was
picked as one of the top 100
high school players before
the season started.
Ralph averaged 24.5 points
and 16.5 rebounds a game his
senior season and 22.5 points
and 16.5 rebounds a game his
junior year in high school.
His high school coach says
of Ralph, "He. has the size,
the dedication, the ability and
the determination to become
a great college player. He's
definitely one of the best that
I've ever coached and he
never let's up."
Smith started as a ninth
grader and played in the 3-A
state tournament for Thomp­son
High School of Siluria

Basketball team
ends year 15-10
By MEL PULLIAM
Two Auburn seniors
closed out their basketball
career and one sophomore
began his with post-season
honors as the Tigers
wrapped up the 1968-69 sea­son
with a 15-10 record.
Senior captain Wally Tinker
was selected one of ten play­ers
on the Coaches All-SEC
team. He closed out his col­lege'
eligibility 'by" starting
his 76th straight game, for the
Tigers, becoming only the
second player in Auburn his­tory
to start every game dur­ing
a varsity career. Present
freshman coach, Larry Chap­man,
was the first.
In his last season, Tinker
was second in the SEC in as­sists
with a 5.2 average per
game. He became Auburn's
second leading career scorer
with 965 points, passing Rex
Frederick for second on the
all-time list, and behind Lee
DeFore.
Tom Perry, utility guard-forward
during his three year
stint on Auburn's varsity
graduated with a B average in
physical education and joined
four o t h e r s on the SEC
"brain" selection, the All-
Academic team.
His 13 assists against Ga.
Tech and Florida is an Au­burn
record for most assists
in one game.
Guard John Mengelt, in ad­dition
to joining Tinker on
the Coaches All-SEC team,
became Auburn's first SEC
Sophomore .of the Year, He
was a second team SEC".se­lection

way to a 19.4 scoring aver­age,
seventh highest in the
league, the Elwopd, Ind.,
native had 42, 37 and 30 point
performances against SEC
champion Kentucky, Georgia
and Vanderbilt, respectively.
Mengelt now holds the fol­lowing
records: most points
in one game (42); most field
goals in one game (17); total
points as a sophomore (486);
and highest average for a
sophomore (19.4).

waconcareer starts I ate;
Istill champion gymnast
By DON EDDINS
The captain of Auburn's gymnastics team had never
even been on a gymnastics bar until he took a physical
education course in apparatus as a freshman.
Warren Bacon, a 5'10", 157-pound senior zoology major
from Demopolis, explained it this way, "My high school
physical education consisted of softball when it was
warm, football when it was cool, and basketball when
it was cold.
"1 took apparatus when 1 came to Auburn, and I liked
it. So I talked to Mr. Bengtson about the possibility of
being on the gymnastics team, and he invited me to come
out. I did, and I've been out ever since."
Coach Edwin Bengtson describes his pupil's improve­ment
as "monumental." He says, "although Warren had
no background in gymnastics, he has become a capable
gymnist through his own hard work and faithfulness and
has improved through patience and willingness to learn.
His improvement has been really, just monumental."
Since Warren has been out he has been instrumental in
many Auburn gymnastics victories, including the South­eastern.
Amateur Athletic Union Men's Championship for
the past three years. This event attracts the top teams
from throughout the Southeast.
Warren competed in four events in the meet last year
and placed second in three events and thrid in the other.
This year's meet will be held at Samford University in
April. Every gymnist who placed higher than Warren last
year (most of them were from Auburn) were seniors and
graduated.
In Auburn's first home meet of the season against
Georgia this year Warren scored 33 of his team's 110
points in a losing effort.
As the workhorse of the gymnastics team this year,
Warren competes in five events. These include the floor
exercises, pommell horse, horizontal bars, parallel bars,
and the vault. All of these events stress either balance
or strength and co-ordination.
Of these events, Warren prefers the floor exercises and
the horizontal bars. He likes the floor exercises because
they are so artistic when performed correctly, while he
likes the horizontal bars because in his words, "this is
about as close as you can get to flying, and I like it."
In addition to his work on the gymnastics team, many
Auburn students probably know Warren as "The Tiger"
at the Auburn football games. His tumbling exercises
have complimented the cheerleader's yells for the past
two years.
"This was one of my greatest thrills since I've been
at Auburn. The cheerleaders are a great bunch of people
to work with. I was just proud to be able to do my part to
foster the Auburn spirit," Warren said.

Matmen win 23rd SEIWA crown;
Gambill, Holliday go to NCAA
By JOHNNY COOK
The Auburn wrestling
team continued to dominate
the Southeast by winning
its 22nd crown at the 23rd
annual SEIWA Champion­ships,
Feb. 28-March 1.
The matmen overcame 12 other
teams including such rivals
as Alabama, Georgia, and
Georgia Tech to win the title.
Outstanding individual ef­forts
were deiplayed as eight
Auburn matmen placed in the
tournament while three won
individual championships.
Junior Tom Gambill won
his second championship in
the 191 lb. class. Becoming
Southeastern champions for
the first time were 115 lb. Del
Alley and 160 lb. Tom Holli­day!
Gambill and Holliday will
represent Auburn at the
N.C.A.A. championships this
week at Salt Lake City, Utah.
Wayne Daniel placed second;
Luther Killian, Gordon Mose-ley
and Jerry Gross won third
place medals; and senior
Dewitt Starnes placed fourth.
Daniel narrowly lost in his
final match by 1 point riding
time in the most exciting
match of the tournament.
Killian, only a freshman,
stepped in and did a very com­mendable
job. Moseley and
Gross proved most aggressive,
and Starnes completed his last
season, a medalist all 3 years
of his varsity career.
Coach Arnold "Swede"
Umbach was obviously pleased
with his 22nd championship
win on home mats. He praised
the -medalists and commented
that the team's.overall effort
was "one of the best ever at
Auburn." He expressed appre­ciation
also to Joe Gilbert,
team trainer and tournament
director; and to Earl Hender­son,
team manager.
Adding spice to the victory
was the fact that arch-rival

Shot Put and Discus
By EARL BEATTY
The Auburn track team
opens its outdoor season in
Gainesville, Fla. this Fri­day
and Saturday at the
Florida Relays. Many of the
East's outstanding teams
including Villanova, Fordham
and Tennessee will be present.
Track Coach Mel Rosen has
two basic objectives for com­peting
in this meet. First,
Rosen feels that "the squad
can perform well in their
initial debut" and second, he
feels that, "valuable exper­ience
will be gained for the.
oncoming season of dual
meets."

LONG JUMPERS
Once again, the jumping
ivents are expected to be
Auburn's "bread and butter'
with three top competitors
in Jack Marsh, Mike Brannen
and Mickey Jones.
Barry Irwin is expected to
do well in the shotput and
discus, while Werner Beiers-doerfer
is hoping for a good
two mile performance.
STRONG RELAYS
The Tigers also possibly
have one of their strongest
Distance Medley Relay teams
in Robert Maxwell, John Kipp,
Kit Briddle and Jim
McAluiffe.
In addition, for the first
time, Auburn^ will feature a
very strong-squad in the
freshman division of the meet.
Coach Ralph Jordan
might not like it, but it's
doctor's orders.
Jordan, recuperating from
surgery to prevent return of
prostate cancer, is back in
his office and rarin' to go.
The last time his weight was
at 194 was 1933, one year
after he won Auburn's "Most
Outstanding Athlete" Award,
and from all indications Jor­dan
might be feeling spry
enough to complete for that
honor again.
"The doctors wanted me at
that weight," he said. "I'm
there, feeling great. I hope to
hold it there, and firm it up."
His doctors, however, are
cautious about letting their
patient go full speed until he
opens his 19th spring training
drills the middle of April.
"I'm following the doctors'
recommendation to take it
easy, get back into the rou­tine
sensibly," Jordan corij-mented.
Jordan has limited his Mem­orial
Coliseum office return
to morning hours only but
plans an upswing in activity
in the near future. "Next
week I'll increase my pace,
and the next. That'll take rrfe
to the week before spring
practice," he said. "I'm anx­ious
to get going."

write down the three women they would like to have with •
them if they were stranded on a desert island.
"Now me, I'd take Raquel Welch, Jill St. John and
Sophia Loren."
As laughter went through the bus, Coach Nix retracted
his statement, "No, I'm only kidding. The driver and I
won't be in the survey."

Auburn finished fourth in
the SEC with a 10-8 slate

yearly reputation of being

close or closer than a blade. As found
in two out of three shaves in an inde­pendent

And you get a comfortable
shave because the Norelco floating
heads curve with your chin, bend with
your neck, and even straighten out for
your cheeks. Automatically. And with­out
a nick, pull or scrape.
The new Norelco has a hidden
trimmer that pops out for sideburns,
and a push button for easy flip-top
cleaning. It also comes in a recharge­able

"With 6*3" being the average
height under the boards, some­times
we would get as many as
five or six chances at an of­fensive
tip in."
"At first we were sort of
scared of Wesley, because of
their height," said Hopper,
"but they just couldn't keep
up with us. They were big but
slow."
Operating on the "run and
gun" theory, the Rebels never
ran plays or practiced.
Byron Housely, 6'4" Intra­mural
All-Star forward said,
"We never relied on only one
person to carry our scoring,.
our high scorers alternated
from week to week."
Wesley played catch-up ball
all night after falling behind
early in the first half. In spite
of outscoring the Rebels 45-
44 in the second half, which
resulted from the efforts of the
'One Man Shooting Show" of
Intramural All-Star Leonard
Riley, who gunned 24 points
in the last 16 minutes of play,
Wesley could make up for the
13 point half-time deficit.
Jin, Bostick 6'3" and 6'5"
David Ferguson led the well-balanced
Rebel effort with 26
and 24 respectively. Also in
double figures were team­mates
Bob Allen with 10 and
Tony Hopper with 11. Byron
Housely, a 6'1" junior gave
the Rebels a rebounding edge
while he netted 14 points. For
the losers, Leonard Riley
rifled in 37 while Stuart
Wagner and Jim Fuller added
10 apiece.
lambda Chi swims to third title
Lambda Chi made the
first big splash in the new
Memorial Coliseum pool as
they carried away their
third straight Intramural
Swimming Championship.
Under the guidance of Jim
Carlson and Larry Smith LCA
took three firsts, two seconds,
four thirds and one fourth.
When confronted by The
Plainsman, Smith mumbled,
"We just wanted to start the
new pools off on the right
foot."
"Right foot" or not, the
first swim meet to be held in
the Coliseum was not domin­ated
by one team. After the
five individual events, the
score stood at LCA 20, PKA
19 and ATO 12. With only the
200-yard medley relay and
the free relay remaining, the
LCA's needed a first and a
second in order to recapture
the crown. Behind the strong
arms of Jim Carlson and Bill
Stegall, who swam both re­lays
back to back, the LCA's
collected two firsts to end the
meet with the score Lambda
Chi 36, Pike 29, ATO 18.
When asked what he attri­buted,
his teams success to,
Carlson remarked, "Whereas
the Pikes and the ATO's had
one or two outstanding swim­mers,
we had more depth, in
that all give of our men are
real good swimmers." LCA
placed two men in every event
except the 50 yard breast
stroke.

DC takes basketball,
bowling, maybe trophy
By TOM JONES
"To turn basketball and
intramural sports over to
the freshmen or to dedi-i
cate ourselves to winning
the All Sports Trophy,"
was the decision that had
to be made by the apathetic
Delta Chi fraternity after fall
quarter, commented player-coach
Otto Gaylord. Judging
last quarter's record book, the
path they chose to take is
obvious.
After a "poor" fall showing
("poor" being second in vol­leyball
and second in foot­ball),
the DCs possessed
third place in the race for
the All Sports Trophy.
Having made the winning de­cision,
they stuck to it, tak­ing
the basketball and bowl­ing
titles winter quarter while
picking up 380 All Sports
points to take the lead by a
convincing 75 points.
Of his championship bas­ketball
team, three time mem­ber
of the Intramural All Star
team Gaylord said, "When the
chips were down and the pres­sure
was on , we won." Fin­ishing
regular season play in
a League 3 tie for second
place, the DCs were forced
to win three straight games
on consecutive nights in or­der
to qualify for the play­offs.
Gaylord, listing this as
one of the main reasons DC
did so well in the finals, com­mented,
' 'I t helped us get in
shape while getting our minds
right for the finals."
EARLY LOSS TO LCA
Having lost to LCA 63-58
during league play, the Red
Bandits came back in the first
rematch of the two teams in
the finals and won, only to
lose to LCA again two nights
later. This gave both teams
one loss in the double elimin­ation
play-off. With the Cham­pionship
resting on the , last
game, the pressure was heavy
and DC won 71-56. "We beat
Lambda Chi when we beat
their press," said Gaylord.
After an unfruitful first
half, Delta Chi moved to a
two point half time lead and
coasted home behind the 19
point performance of 5'10"
guard Jeff Gilmer. LCA held
the lead only once in the
second half when with 14:35
left they led 36-32. The re­mainder
of the game saw DC
sink 12 of 15 from the charity
stripe to put the game on ice.'
Gilmer was a happy sur­prise
for DC, while Gaylord
and Gaylord picked up 16
apiece and Barry Hillmeyer,
high -school All-Stater from
Ft. Meyers, Fla. netted 14.
For LCA senior intramural
All-Star Shorty Piel, one of
the tournament's most con­sistent
players, turned in his
normal quota of 16, followed
by teammates Bill Stegall
and Glen Elmore with 10;
DC DYNASTY CONTINUED
Continuing their winter
round ball dynasty, Delta Chi
bowling captain Ralph Sproull
led his team to the Intramural
Bowling Championship with a
180 average.
After having lost their reg­ular
season opening match,
they had prepared themselves
for another year of back-street
bowling, only to have the ex­perience
of their senior team
pay off. With four members of
the team being three-year men,
DC di d not drop ano ther match.
Fifteen pins behind ATQ
after the first day of tourna-;
ment competition, the only
first year man on the team,
Mark Kern, who bowled a 145
on the first day of the tourna­ment,
turned in a tournament
high of 243 by rolling six
straight strikes.
By picking up 100 second
day points on their nearest
competition with a team score
of 946, DC rolled only an 280
on the final day of the tourna­ment
to-take their first bowl­ing
title in five years. Fin­ishing
behind DC were SP,
ATO and DTD, respectively.
The spring forecast for
Delta Chi intramurals appears
to be the best since their 1967
intramural triumph. With bas­ically
last year's softball
team, headed by the return­ing
battery of Billy Bell and
Louis Noto, DC will be a ma­jor
threat to walk away with
another trophy for their al­ready
overcrowded display
cases.
As Otto Gaylord commented,
'' Bowling and basketball were
just stepping stones toward
our ultimate goal, the All
Sports Trophy. We just don't
want to have a repeat of last
year, when we lost our chance
for the trophy in the track
meet. There were only two
points separating the first
three places, the second place
team being only a half a point
out in front of us. Two track
points would have given us
the Trophy. As it looks now,
the winner of this year's track
meet will again win the A 11
Sports Trophy."
Returning from last year's
track team will be Doug Pow­ell,
who placed second in the
100 yard dash and first in the
220 yard dash, accompanied
by second place broad and
high jumper Eddie Gaylord.
With the spring forecast as
it is, 1969 could very well
end as the "Year of the Del­ta
Chi."
All Sports standings at the
end of two quarters are:
1. DC 672
2. ATO 595
3. LCA 547
4. PKT 503
5. BTP 471
6. TC 468

The ideal pet?
Students live with boa constrictor
By PETE PEPINSKY
Gavin Harris had never
considered owning a boa
constrictor. In fact, snakes
weren't even a topic of
conversation at the New
Year's Eve party he was
attending in his hometown of
Gadsden. But then a girl
walked in and calmly asked
if anyone wanted to buy a boa
constrictor.
" I ' l l buy the thing. Let's
go get a check cashed,"
blurted Harris. Ten minutes
and ten dollars later the junior
in mechanical engineeringwas
the proud owner of a pale
brown boa constrictor with
dark crossbars.
The young girl had receivea
the boa as a gift from an ad­mirer
who had purchased it at
a local pet shop. The girl
was very fond of the reptile,
but her mother felt differently
about it, thus necessitating
the sale to Harris.
Barnabus, as the boa is
called, is slightly over four
feet long but if he remains
healthy, he will grow to a
length of 10-15 feet and weigh
several hundred pounds.
Many people ask Gavin why
he wanted a boa constrictor.
" Well, no one else around had
one," he said, "and they
aren't hard to keep."
Gavin's two roommates have
mixed feelings concerning
their "slitherly roommate"
Barnabus. Lanny Able, 3BA,
climbs onto the nearest table-top
whenever Barnabus is
taken from his box, but Hacky
Jaggers, 3FY, doesn't mind
the snake crawling around
the trailer. He will even hold
Barnabus, provided he can get
a firm grip on his head.
Gavin has already learned
much about the "care and
feeding of boas."
"You aren't supposed to
allow him to become too fond
of you," he advised,"because
if he gets too tame, he won't
kill his own food. Since boas
will not eat food that is al­ready
dead you would then
have to force-feed him."
Feeding Barnabus is com­paratively
simple. Every two
or three weeks he receives a
meal consisting of one to four
baby rats which Harris gets
from the Small Animal Clinic
where the rat population ex­plosion
provides a constant
and plentiful supply.
Barnabus has escaped the
watchful eye of his three
"roommates" only four times.
The first time he hid behind
the refrigerator in the kitchen.
His next evasion ended
with concealment on an over­head
shelf along a wall. Gavin
had given up searching for
him and was about to go out­side
to look when he noticed
Barnabus' head sticking up
over the edge of the shelf.
Another time the pet coiled
himself inside the living room
couch, which had to be dis­assembled
to retrieve the
snake. A heater duct served
as Barnabus' latest escape
route. To get him out, the
boys had to turn the heater up
to 90 degrees to "sweat out"
the recalcitrant reptile.
Barnabus is clean, odorless
and quiet-e very thing a pet
should be. But what if you
don't like snakes?

Auburn offers degree in city planning
Someday, barring a nu­clear
catastrophe, all earth-men
may live in a city-the
World City.
Although this probably
won't fully develop for hun­dreds
or thousands of years,
evidence of things to come
can be seen even today.
On the Atlantic seaboard,
between Boston and Washing­ton,
once separate distinct
urban areas have merged to
form one gigantic city.
This area is called a mega­lopolis,
a super city, inha­bited
by millions of people.
Other areas include the
California seacoast, from
Milwaukee, Wis. around Lake
Michigan to Cleveland, Ohio
and along the Gulf Coast from
Tampa to New Orleans, are
now in the early stages of
forming these megalopoli.
And with the millions of
people and hundreds of square
miles of concrete will come
the myriads of problems of
. PQlicii., a>nd fire - protection,
street 'maintenance, traffic,
utility serivce, communi-
Sations, recreation and water
and air pollution.
These problems also face
today's towns and cities; if
they are to be minimized in
cities of the future they must
be solved today.
Auburn University has
joined the fight.
Last September a masters
program in city and regional
p l a n n i n g was begun here
largely through the efforts of
a policy committee headed
by Dr. Ingraham Clark, Dean
of the School of Architecture
arid Fine Arts.
In October of 1967 the com­mittee
developed a proposal
to create a graduate city and
regional planning program and
presented plans to the admin­istration.
Although a lack of
funds prevented the creation
of a new department in this
area a committee was set up
to operate the program through
the Graduate School.
The program involves two
years or 90 quarter hours of
study, and no preferred de­gree
is required. Eight stu­dents
are enrolled in this
field.
While only the degree of
Masters of City and Regional
Planning will be offered,
students can plan their pro­gram
of study to emphasize
such areas as urban policy
and river basin planning,
physical, recreation, fiscal,
human resource and transpor­tation
planning.
Course study will involve
not only city and regional
planning subjects but also
courses in agricultural eco­nomics,
architecture, busi­ness,
political science, so­ciology,
geography and en­gineering.
"We're taking maximum ad­vantage
of U n i v e r s i ty
strengths in other areas to
develop this program," said
Peter Jarvis, Assistant pro­fessor
of Planning.
"For example in the river
basin planning phase we'll
draw on Land Economics
whicii is taught in the School
of Agriculture," said Jarvis.
Jarvis, who obtained his
bachelor degree in c i v il
engineering at Notre Dame
and a masters degree in city
planning from Yale Univer­sity,
came to Auburn last
September.
Previously he worked with
the planning and programming
d i v i s i o n in the New York
State department of transpor­tation.
"The nature of a field of
planning is such that it cuts
across established depart­mental
lines and becomes
interdisciplinary," noted
Jarvis.
"If you view planning as
a process it can be applied
to any field.
"And this is the beauty of
the program: to place students
with different backgrounds
together and to have them
study a problem in the light
of their individual exper­iences.
"We must then make each
student realize that his indi­vidual
background is not the
most important," said Jarvis.
Planning needs a team ap­proach.
It takes people from
many backgrounds.''
Jarvis also stated that as
Higher education needs
$70 million
Although higher educa­tion
enrollment in Alabama
has more, than doubled in
ten years, state a i d per stu­dent
is l e s s ' t h a n it. was
five years ago, said Pres.
Harry M. Philpott at a recent
Faculty Club luncheon. Ap­proximately
$70 million in
additional funds are needed
now to raise the state's insti­tutions
to the level of other
schools in the Southern Asso­ciation.
Projections in a 375-page
report, prepared by the Ala­bama
Education Study Com­mission
which studied higher
education, showed that the
number of high school grad­uates
seeking college admis­sion
will almost double, said
Philpott, who served as Com­mission
chairman, and unless
action is taken, the colleges
and junior colleges of the
state will not be prepared to
cope with the increased num­bers.
Almost half of this year's
high school graduates will
go on to institutions of higher
learning, but by 1977, the
percentage will have risen to
55 percent, according to Phil­pott.
Philpott also recommended
that changes be made in the
way in which state funds are
allotted and that a state board
be created to supervise the
allocations.
soon as more students are
enrolled, the program would
be extended in order to study
urban problems in Alabama
and the Southeast.
This would work two ways:
students would be able to
gain valuable field experience
in real life situations and
towns and communities would
benefit from the program.
"A s t u d e n t can't get a
feeling of a town or city with
jusf reading books," ex­claimed
Jarvis. "He has to
know the people-to leam
their problems.
"The only thing people
have in common is that they
live in the same region. Each
views the city's or region's
problems in his own terms."
The demand and need for
college graduates in this field
is increasing tremendously
year by year, according to
Jarvis.
"The number of planning
program graduates have tri­pled
in the last fiyp years
but this does not meet 1/10
of the needs," he said.
Jobs are available with pri­vate
concerns, local, state
and federal government agen­cies
throughout the country in,
city planning, housing, rede­velopment,
highway planning,
transportation, labor and other
fields.
"However, once a student
gets his credentials it's up
to him to prove his worth,"
said Jarvis.
A conference entitled a
"Seminar in City and Regional
Planning" was held Feb. 19,
in the Auburn Union Ballroom.
About 100 businessmen, plan­ners
and several mayors
attended the meeting.
"The major problem today
is not worrying about all the
land being developed but chan­neling
development into the
best areas," Jarvis said.
"Today the population of
this country is 200 million,
and we're utilizing five per
cent of the land.
"Why worry about land de­velopment?"
asked Jarvis.
"Because this five per cent
is three times what it was 35
years ago.
"The preponderance of land
use now is residential. If urban
development continues and if
the birth rate does not con­tinue
to delcine, the accele­ration
in land development
will continue at a much grea­ter
rate," said Jarvis.
Spring quarter, students in
the Urban Design Workshop
class will study an area of
intense development in a four-county
area of the Mississippi
Gulf coast.
Many problems are involved
in city and regional planning.
First of all a planner must
define the problem, then col­lect
data, analyze his goals,
devise alternative plans. His
plans must be acceptable to
the majority will and then it
must beimplememted andmoni-toredfor
unexpected problems.

Burger catches snakes
for fun and profit
By PETE PEPINSKY
It's no fun getting bitten by a rattlesnake. Ask Jack F.
Burger, Jr., 4VED, from Holly Hill, Fla. To him, it's an
occupational hazard that once nearly cost his right arm.
When Burger is not tending to the 800-acre farm he has
leased in the small community of Beauregard, six miles
east of Opelika, or studying, he either goes on snake
hunts of his own or takes part in rattlesnake rodeos. Over
the spring break, Jack participated in rodeos in Opp, Ala;
Ocala, Fla. and Waycross, Ga.
"I used to kill alligators until they outlawed that. I
had to do something," grins Jack, when asked why he
hunts snakes.
Burger encountered what could have been a permanent
setback to his snake hunting days Nov. 18, 1967. While
deer hunting on horseback near his home, five miles
north of Daytona, he spied a three-foot long Eastern
diamondback rattlesnake, jumped off his horse, caught
the snake by hand and started to mount the horse again.
The snake squirmed loose, and struck Jack on the right
index finger.
First reaction? " I was scared to death."
Burger stomped the rattler to death and then pulled
out his snakebite kit. Quickly cutting a line between the
two small punctures of the snakebite with a small scal­pel,
Burger applied a tourniquet several inches from the
wound on his hand and then sucked as much of the venom
from the bite as he could.
Throwing the dead snake in his saddlebag, Jack mounted
the horse, rode three miles to the hunting camp, got in
his jeep, and drove 15 miles to Halifax General Hospital
in Daytona.
"It took me over half an hour to get to the hospital,
and by then my whole arm was swollen to twice its nor­mal
size," Burger recalls. "Upon preliminary examina­tion,
the doctors told me I would lose my arm."
An overzealous intern drew too much blood from his
wound and Jack had to receive a blood transfusion. That
evening, Jack was told that he would lose his hand,
which had turned black, losing its skin in flakes.
Not until the next day was Burger advised that no am­putation
would be necessary. After his arm had been
packed in ice fa three days and he had recuperated for
ten days, Jack was released from the hospital.
For lasting souvenirs of his ordeal, Burger has several
small scars and a stiff finger.
Jack has been catching snakes for fun and profit since
he was 15. He estimates that he has earned over $700 in-the
past seven years. Burger sells most of his snakes to;
Ross Allen's Reptile Institute in Ocala, Fla., for $1.25
per foot of live poisonous snake and 75 cents per foot of live
non-poisonous snake. The longest snake he has ever
caught was an Eastern diamondback- rattler which was
6 feet 4 inches long. '^r
The Reptile Institute "milks" the venom from poison-nous
snakes which is sold to be used in snakebite ser-if
um at 35 cents per ounce. The meat, hide and rattles are al­so
marketed.
In a pen in his back yard, Burger keeps up to 25 snakes
at a time. At his Florida home, he adorns his bedroom
with a nine-foot boa constrictor.
"If you come within striking distance of a poisonous
snake, freeze," advises Burger. "If he hasn't bitten
you yet, he probably won't. Just wait until he crawls
away."

Band plays for fraternities, parties
Life-a 'soul machine9 for student musicians
By BEVERLY BRADFORD
The long, black hearse,
glistening with the wetness
of a cold, steady rain, was
backed against the side
door of a fraternity house.
.The hearse's wide rear
door was standing open:
waiting.
Four figures emerged from
the house, staggering slight­ly
with the weight of a long
rectangular box covered with
a tattered old quilt. Carefully
they shoved it into the body
of the vehicle, then slam­med
the door and reentered
the building. At random in­tervals
they reappeared in­dividually,
carrying articles
of varying sizes, but all rec­tangular
and all covered with
dark cases.
This ghoulish sight, oc­curring
at 12:30 a.m. on a
Friday or Saturday night, is
ia familiar one at Auburn. The
hearse belongs to Larry Fox,
3AA, leader and manager of
the "Soul Machine," a sev­en-
piece "soul" band. The
large, rectangular object be­ing
transported is a $2800
Hammond B-3 organ, which
with two tone cabinets, three
ampligiers and two PA speak­ers,
is carried to various
jobs in the hearse.
Five of the seven members
of the "Soul Machine" are
students. Three are married.
They come from four differ­ent
Alabama towns. One mem­ber
is from Baltimore, Md.
Three are Auburn students,
one attends the University
of Alabama and one goes to
Jeffers.n State Junior Col­lege.
Their reasons for play­ing
in the band vary, but most
of them work because they
need the money.
The "Soul Machine," like
many other bands, special­izes
in music originating as
rhythm and blues.
Psychedelic bands, more
recently becoming popular,
feature unusual electronically-produced
sounds and elabor­ately
colored lights.
Most of the jobs played by
the "Soul Machine" and the
many similar bands in the
area, are for fraternity parties
or formal dances, but in the
spring they play for many
high school proms. During
the summer they perform for

Civil Engineering Department
considers highway problems
State highway problems are under attack by the Civil
Engineering Department. Operating under state and fede­ral
research contracts, the Department is currently work­ing
on six projects in highway safety, highway economics
and urban planning.
Automobile accidents, the number one killer of young
adults, is under fire in two of the projects. Two others
are aimed at building more durable and economical high­ways,
and one project involves both safety and economy.
The remaining project is concerned with urban planning.
rrof. Thjm?,s L. bransford is attempting to conquer
the problem of automobile skids by studying the skid re­sistance
of various forms of highway surfaces. After he
determines which types are the least slippery, he hopes
to develop a pavement with a high degree of skid resis­tance.
Prof. Fred M. Hudson is conducting a study of the
effects of support subsidence on highway bridges. The
State Highway Department constructed a 143-foot bridge,
or half-bridge since it has only one traffic lane, a few
miles from the campus. Hudson and student assistants
have employed scientific equipment to measure the effects
of temperature. The bridge is now in its fifth year of
tests, and more are scheduled.
Prof. Bransford is also conducting a project on the
feasibility of using sea shells as an aggregate in .base
material mixes for highway construction. Certain areas
of South Alabama have abundant quantities of sea shell
while gravel and crushed stone are relatively scarce. He
is attempting to find a method for using shell rather than
importing gravel or crushed stone, but his main problem
is perfecting an economical shell-base mix that will
:carry,the traffic load.
Prof. Charles H. Peterson is conducting a study of
the effects of erosion in highway drainage ditches. He
hopes to find an optimum slope for the ditches that will
most resist erosion and to find the cheapest material for
effectively lining these ditches. To test the various
slopes and materials, Peterson and student assistants
are using specially designed ditches with controlled
erosion conditions. The ditches are located on Univer­sity
property a few miles from campus.
Often safety and economy are achieved simultaneously
by highway research. One such project is being performed
Dr. Sandor Popovics.
The objective of Dr. Popovics' research project is to
improve the vibrating procedures commonly being used
for compaction of concrete during highway construction.
He will establish guidelines for optimum efficiency and
control of quality concrete highway pavements and brid­ges.
The direct result of the investigation will be the re­duction
of voids that are sometimes found in an unde-

Dr. Rex K. Rainer, department head, is working on a
project concerned with the location of freeways in urban
areas. This is an economic study employing systems
analysis procedures. Not only will the project provide a
thorough consideration of the several design and con­struction
possibilities and the aesthetics involved, but
will also consider urban planning principles for each
typical case. Special consideration will be given to en­vironmental
conditions and the complexity of the areas

Pilot scholarships available
Forty-five persons inte­rested
in obtaining a pri­vate
pilot certificate will
be awarded scholarships
by the School of Aviation.
A prerequisite for obtaining
a scholarship is lack of know­ledge
about the subject.
Scholarships are usually
offered to those who are pro­ficient
in their field or at
least show an aptitude for
the field. But these 45 scho­larships
require the recipients
to have no background in a-viation.
Furthermore, they
don't even have to be students
at Auburn
Gary W. Kiteley, assistant
professor of Aerospace Engi­neering
and acting manager of
the School of Aviation, ex­plained
that the scholarships
are part of a research program
designed to determine the
most efficient method for
teaching persons to fly. "If
the participants have pre­vious
knowledge or experience
in flight we won't be able to
make valid decisionsabout the
value of the training."
The 45 participants in the
program will be divided into
five groups for instruction.
The training time for a pri
vate pilot's certificate is us­ually
divided equally between
flight training and class or
ground school as it is known.
Each group will differ in the
amount and content of their
ground and flight training
with some groups receiving
no ground training.
After finishing the private
pilot's course, 20 of the 45
participants will continue in
the program for two years at
the end of which they will be
tested again. "The 20 par­ticipants
chosen for the
follow-up program will be sur-

dent's desire for courses that
prepare him for the practical
world, as well as for the world
of ideas and theorems, the
new courses will cut across
departmental and disciplinary
lines to emphasize a kind of
i n t e g r a t i v e learning
experience.
The new courses are
"Psychological Study of the
Community," to be taught
by Dr. Harold Moon, asso­ciate
professor of psycho­logy,
and "Natural Philoso­phy,"
to be taught by Dr.
Gennady Kosolapoff, research
professor in chemistry.
Designated in the cata­logue
as "university" cours­es,
as distinguished from the
usual departmental designa­tion,
the courses are "inter­disciplinary
and experimental
in character." According to
Dr. Clarence Scarsbrook,
chairman of the Project '67
Committee on New Arrange­ments
for Courses, "the cours­es
are designed to enable
the student to see in a wide
perspective, the relationship
of individual courses in his
curriculum and to understand
more fully the dominant ideas
and concepts confronting him
in the modern world."
Dr. Moon explained that
the course he will teach cen­ters
around having his stu­dents
get out and "get their
feet wet" in practical situa­tions
of the community. "Stu­dents
should first study the
principles behind the prob­lems
of the community and
then experience the problem
'on the spot,'" said Dr.
Moon.
The course will include a
two-hour discussion period
once a week with an expert
from the problem area to lec­ture
and answer questions.
Field lab experience in such
areas as Headstart, juvenile
court and child welfare, will
provide a unique learning op­portunity
for the students.
"Students will be able to
see the principles they study
about in class at work in the
real world," said Dr. Moon.
Dr. Kosolapoff in his course
"Natural Philosophy," Plans
to study the accomplishments
of modern science in relation
to contemporary living.
"We have a tendency in
the upper level science cours­es
to aim a student in a cer­tain
direction, and he some­times
loses sight of the other
sciences and areas related to
his field," said Dr. Kosola­poff.
Therefore in his course.
Dr. Kosolapoff plans to ex­plore
the inter-relationship of
all the sciences.
The two courses will be
offered as electives for credit
to students of the junior and
senior level.
veyed to determine their ex­periences
in flying since
graduation and to see how well
they perform on the same test
they took before starting their
training," Kiteley said.
The 45 scholarships will
vary in amounts. "Those who
are participating in the follow-up
study will receive more
more than those who are only
taking the private pilot's
course," Kiteley explained.
The amount of the scholar­ships
will range from $50 to
$100. The cost of the private
pilot's course ranges from
$680 to $740, depending on
the aircraft used.
The scholarships are avail­able
due to a grant of $2,000
from Link Foundation. The
Link division of General Pre­cision,
Inc. produces flight
simulators for pilot training.
Additional support will be
provided by the Auburn School
of Aviation.
The need for such a program,
according to Kiteley, is found
in the tremendous increase of
private pilots in the United
States. Kiteley said that about
150,000 persons earn their
private pilot's license an­nually.
At present, there are
approximately 500,000 active
pilots in the United States.

Miss Ala.- Universe
contest set April 30
"It's such a glamorous feeling. It's something that
you dream about; then all of a sudden it just happens,
and you're there in the middle of it," said Claudia
Robinson, Alabama's representative last year in the
Miss USA Pageant.
April 30, Claudia will
crown Miss Alabama-Uni­verse
1969, the first step
leading toward the coveted
title of "Miss Universe.'
The Miss Alabama-Universe
Pageant will be held in Mem­orial
Coliseum in Tuscaloosa.
The state-wide pageant is
open to young women between
the ages of 18 and 28 who
are unmarried and have been
residents of Alabama for at
least six months. Each girl
must be sponsored by an or­ganization
or business firm
within the state.
During the pageant, the con­testants
will be entertained
by "The Association," one
of the top musical acts in the
world today. The winner of
the contest will receive val­uable
prizes and an all-ex­pense
paid trip to Miami, Fla.,
to represent Alabama in the
Miss USA Pageant.
Two years ago, Sylvia
Hitchcock, a University of
Alabama coed, captured the
Miss Alabama-Universe crown,
won the Miss USA title and
was crowned Miss Universe,
the most beautiful woman in
the world. Sylvia toured the
globe as a goodwill envoy for
the U.S.
