By BETH BARTLETT
Novice and varsity collegiate debaters from 54 South­eastern
campuses will compete in the second annual
Plainsman Invitational Debate Tournament Friday and
Saturday.
The tournament, spon­sored
by the Interfraternity

college community that
Greeks are more concerned
with academics than usually
given credit, "said Joe Busta,
IFC President.
IFC SUPPORT
"Without IFC support it
would not have been possible
to hold the debate; the invi
tational netted a loss of
$1,000 last year when solely
financed by the debate team,"
said Sid Hill, head debate
coach.
A total of 325 students
from Florida State, University
of Florida, Wake Forest, Uni­versity
of Alabama, Davidson
College, Vanderbilt, Hampton,
University of Tennessee, Uni­versity
of Georgia and Tulane

Senate approves
election changes
By BOB PAYNE
Changes in election laws
and the Discipline Commit­tee
and a resolution re­questing
that one-half of
the 1«2,350 permanent seats
in the new Memorial Col­iseum
be reserved for stu­dents
at basketball games
were among Senate action
taken Monday night.
Student Body President
Jimmy Bryan vetoed a pro­posed
amendment to the Con­stitution,
approved by the
Senate last week, which would
limit candidates for senator
to students with at least five
quarters left in school.
The Senate also rescinded a
proposed amendment to make
heads of campus publications
elective after learning that
such an amendment had beejn
passed by the student body
in spring of 1966. <2L
Changes in election laws
contain provisions for use
of voting machines, limiting
campaign posters to 11 by 14
inches and permitting hand­bills
for candidates for ex­ecutive
offices, senators and
publication heads.
On the recommendations of
the Discipline Study Commit­tee,
the Senate approved a
measure adding one student
to the Discipline Committee.
If approved by Pres. Harry M.
Philpott, the Committee will
consist of two students and
two faculty members plus a
chairman who votes only in
event of a tie.
After hearing suggestions
from Bill Beckwith, athletic
department business manager,
the Senate passed a resolu­tion
recommending that one-half
of the seats in the new
coliseum be reserved for stu­dents
at basketball games and
tickets be sold to the gen­eral
public for the rest of the
seats. The proposal is sub­ject
to approval by President
Philpott.
In vetoing the proposed
amendment concerning cand­idates'
for senator,^-Bryan
said he felt the matter needed
more study and considera­tion.
The proposal will not
appear on the ballot at the
Homecoming Election.
Confusion over a proposed
amendment to make publica­tions'
heads- elective arose
last week when the Senate
discovered that a 1966 amend­ment
had been omitted from
the present draft of the Con­stitution.
The Senate had
proposed the amendment but
rescinded the proposal after
discovering records of the
previous amendment. The
amendment approved in 1966,
is expected to be added to
the present draft of the Con-

Delta Chi, were moved to
the top of the 1968 football
ticket priority list, ac­cording
to a comparison
made of the 1967 and i968
priorities submitted to the
athletic department by the IFC.
They have been moved out
of order if ticket priorities
were based on a rotational
method defined by IFC Pres­ident
Joe Busta, a member of
Delta Chi.
i The other three IFC offi­cers
are Vice President Jerry
Miller, a member of Kappa
Alpha; Secretary Wood Parker,
Sigma Nu and Treasurer John
Irvine, Delta Chi.
Busta could not be reached
for further comment on latest
Plainsman findings on the
fraternity ticket priority hst
at press time.
Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha
and Delta Chi, respectively,
bought tickets of first, second
and third priority this fall.
This means they received the
best seats available to block
groups. .__.
"The fraternity ranking on
the priority list would def­initely
make a difference as
to who got the better seats,"
said Bill Beckwith, athletic
department ticket manager.
"We usually start block sales
along the sidelines and then
move them into the end
zones," he added.
The three fraternities
should have been ranked 26th,
14th and 21st, respectively,
if the 1967 list had been ro­tated
as Busta had said.If
the rotational system had
been used Sigma Nu and Del­ta
Chi would have been seat­ed
in the wooden north end
zone bleachers for the home­coming
game, Oct. 26.
Busta described the prior­ity
selection system this way:
"I take the bottom number
of fraternities from the pre-ing
used and move them to
the top of the list. The rest
of the fraternities move down
on the list.
"The bottom fraternity last

Student seating
causes dispute
By JAMES THORNTON
A recent controversy between fraternities and the
Athletic Department over the seating of seven frater­nities
in the wooden north end zone section for the Home­coming
game, Oct. 26, has mushroomed into a bitterly
contested debate.
'Student dissatisfac­tion
with block seating ar­rangements
could be ended
if block groups were willing
to be split by stadium
aisles and concourse run­ways,
' said Bill Beckwith,
ticket manager.;
"We can't understand how
they would sell out the stu­dent
section and put the over­flow
in the north end zone
and not in the stands,*'' said
Rusty Murray, Kappa Sigma
fraternity president.
Murray's statement sum­marized
the feeling of the
majority of the presidents of
the seven fraternities placed
in the end zone.
Fraternities placed in the
north end zone were Phi
Gamma Delta, Lambda Chi
Alpha, Kappa Sigma, Delta
Tau Delta, Sigma Pi, • Beta
Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Tau.
Pershing Rifles, the com­bined
Army and Air Force
drill team, was also placed
in the north end zone.
Why were the fraternities
placed in the north end zone
seats? "The students bought
2,200 more guest tickets for
the homecoming game than we
anticipated," said Beckwith.
"We figured we would sell
5,000 guest tickets but we
sold 7,200 guest tickets."
There were not enough
block feats in the south
stands for the groups with
the fraternity stipulation that
they not be separated by
aisles or runways. Therefore
they were placed in the north
end zone seats.
"All block groups could be
arranged in the student section
of the east stands by putting
a few of the blocks in groups
of two separated only by a
concourse or runway," said
Beckwith.
"But since student block
groups demand to be wholly
in one section, the section is
splintered and left with gaps
which can not be filled by
other block groups because
they are toe large.
' 'And these gaps are usually
sold at the gate on the day
of the game," said Beckwith.
Presently the student sec­tion
extends from section 28,
which begins on the 45 yard

MISS HOMECOMING FINALISTS
Front row (1. to r.) Marilyn Martin, Janice Henderson, Lyn Mobley; back row
(1. to r.) Gail O'Bryan, Mary Jo Cochenour, Beverly Golson.
Constitutional amend­ments,
candidates for Miss
Homecoming and a presi­dential
straw poll will ap­pear
on the ballot for Home­coming
elections Oct. 24.
Finalists for Miss Home­coming
are Mary Jo Cochenour,
4EED; 3everly Golson, 4SED;
Janice Henderson, 4EED;
Marilyn Martin, 4SED; Lyn
Mobley, 2SY; and Gail
O'Bryan, 3BA. Finalists were,
selected in judging Monday
night.
Thirty-five voting machines,
set up in various campus lo­cations,
will be used for bal­loting.
Student identification
cards must be presented, but
students may vote at any
polling place. Polls will be
open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Constitutional amendments
include provisions to make
graduate students voting mem­bers
of student body, update
election procedures and
change the qualifications for
senators.
Proposed amendments con­cerning
graduate students al­lows
them to vote in campus
wide elections and elect of­ficers
and a senator from the
Graduate School. They are,
however, still prohibited from
seeking campus wide offices.
"Since graduate students
have been paying the same
activity fees as undergrad­uates
for several years, they
should be given the same
rights," commented Phillip
Wallace, Student Body vice-president
.
Revisions in election rules
contain provisions for count­ing
votes with voting ma­chines
and require candi­dates
for senator to appear
before the Student Body
Board of Election Qualifica­tions
or their School Official
Board of Election Qualifica­tions.
These boards will be
appointed by the President
of the Student Body and the
Superintendent of Political
Affairs.
The presidential straw poll
will include the names of
Republican candidates Richard
M. Nixon and Spiro T. Agnew,
Democrats Hubert H. Humphrey
and Edmund Muskie and third
party candidates George C.
Wallace and Curtis E. Lemay.
Jim Barganier, superin­tendent
of political affairs,
said, "We included the straw
vote on the ballot to promote
interest in the presidential
campaigns and sample the
opinions of the student body."
Amendments to the Con­stitution
are:
Article III Section 1
All registered and under­graduate
and graduate students
of Aubum University at Aubum,
Alabama are, upon payment of
the student activities fee, mem­bers
of this organization, such
membership to be subject to all
rules and regulations as may be
herein or hereafter inacted by
this organization.

Continued from page one...
Ticket priorities shuffled
. year would come first this
year, and the next to the last
- would come second. There
were three ticket windows
this year, so I took the bot­tom
three and moved them to
the top and moved the rest
down the list," said Busta.
Dr. Edward Taylor, ad­visor
to fraternities, said, "I
don't know what system is
used for making the priority
list but it seems like some
sort of a rotating method
method would be the most fair
for all the fraternities."
Several fraternity officers,
when contacted by the Plains­man,
said that they did not
know what method was used.
;Two former IFC presidents,
Max Richburg and Randy
Partin, said that they thought
a-rotating system was used;
during their terms of office.
Only three priority lists
from 1965. 1967 and 1968
could be obtained by the
Plainsman. No other records
could be found.
In addition to the discrep-*
ancies found in this year's
priority list it was noted that
rfor both 1965 and 1967 Phi
: Kappa Tau was first on the!
: list.
However, the rotating sche-
• dule by Busta was not the
{ procedure followed, according
: to the two priority lists for
1967 and 1968 used by the
athletic department.
Alpha Tau Omega frater­nity,
which appeared" last on
the 1967 priority list did not
I come first on the 1968 list,
• as it should have if the order
; had been reversed properly.
They were placed fourth.
Sigma Nu fraternity, which
I should have come fifth, was
: placed first on the 1968
! priority list.
Alpha Gamma Rho and Pi
: Kappa Alpha fraternities
: which came 25th and 26th
respectively on the 1967 list,
came fifth and sixth this year.
I They should have been placed
'.': Second and third.
1 But Kappa Alpha and Del­ta
Chi fraternities, 11-th and
;I%th respectively on last

~third on the 1968 lift. The?
should have been placed 17th
-and 10th respectively on the
-1968 list if last year's list
• had been properly reversed.
Apparently neither of these
two procedures were followed.
When asked if a committee
set up the 1968 priority list
Busta said, "Actually there
is no need for a committee to
; do it, for only about one
', minute's work is involved for
that we send in a list of fra­ternity
names, and these are
rotated each year so that the
same ones do not go first,"
said Busta. "And these fra­ternities
go at different times
to buy tickets."
"This is a precedent with
the IFC. We are responsible
for setting up the priority
sheet," he said.
"I take the bottom three
and move them up," said!
Busta.
Beckwith said, "We have
nothing to do with setting up
the priority list. I tell the IFC
to set up the list and we fol­low
it as they have it drawn

October 17, 1968 3-THE PLAINSMAN 'Voter Registration Week9 runs through Monday
The Senate plan for "Stu­dent
Voter Registration
Week" was put into effect
Monday following its ap­proval
by President Harry
M. Philpott and Dr. Taylor
Littleton, dean of undergra­duate
studies.
Under this plan students
are given dean's excuses to
return home for one day through
Oct. 21 to register, providing
the procedures outlined by
the Senate are followed.
"Voter registration offices
in all counties except Mobile
will be open Monday," said
David Hill, senator from Arts
and Sciences who proposed
the measure.
To be excused from class­es
a student must register
his intentions at the Student
Body Office before leaving.
The student must obtain a
note from the Secretary of the
Student Body to be signed by
the voting registrar in his
county certifying registration.
This signed receipt must
be returned to the Student

However, this excused ab­sence
does not apply to elec­tion

The group, according to
David Jeffers, president, is
presently formulating proj ects
for accelerating university
enrollment of Negro students.
AWARENESS
"The Auburn student body
must be confronted with the
pressing need for a greater
awareness of human rights,"
said Jeffers. "Our objective
might be summed up in .the
words of the late Martin Lu­ther
King: 'The bell of man's
inhumanity to man does not
toll for any one man. It tolls
foryou, for me, for all of us.'"
Along with civil rights
issues, the Forum will be
holding seminars and panel
discussions in other areas of
human rights, including Viet­nam,
student power and the
draft. Other topics scheduled
for discussion are compul­sory
ROTC, women s rules
and "double jeopardy" cases
in which the University Dis­cipline
Committee takes ac­tion
before cases have been
brought before civil court.
PARTICIPATION
"Participation in (he Hu­man
Rights Forum, offers an
opportunity for Auburn students
to voice their opinions on
these issues and be heard,"
said Jeffers.
The Human Rights Forum
Committee will meet tonight
at 8 in Commons 254.

Dr. Rose and freedom of speech
; Before the courts rule, consider­able
controversy will probably surround
President Frank A. Rose's refusal to
allow four leaders of radical student
organizations to speak on the Univer­sity
of Alabama.
j The speakers in question are Tom
ftayden, leader of Students for a Dem­ocratic
Society (SDS), < Jerry Rubin,
founder of the Youth International
Party (Yippie), • Herbert Aptheker, a
leader in the Communist Party USA,
and Eldrige Cleaver, Black Panther
information director. Each speaker
was invited to the campus by the Dem­ocratic
Students Organization (DSO),
a mild form of SDS, in an admitted at­tempt
to make Dr. Rose refuse per­mission
and force a court test case.
The DSO had accomplished its pri­mary
goal.
| It is tempting to justify Roses
denial on the premise that these four
speakers, by their own admission,
seek to destroy the very democratic
institutions which guarantee them the
right to speak. This, however, would
be the simple solution. It is no
coincidence that the American Re­public
has remained .strong almost <2u0
years while the right of free speech
has not been abridged. Thus even
though groups might seek to destroy
the basic institutions which safe­guard
freedom of speech, they should
be allowed to speak. If any speaker
is banned just because of what h e
says, • the defenders of free speech,
in their haste to prevent others from
destroying the principle, would des­troy
the very idea of freedom they
hoped to preserve.
The meaning of free speech is
clear. Any person can voice his be­liefs,
but this includes the majority
as well as the minority. Yet SDS and
other such radical groups of the New
Left seek to squelch the opinions of
those who oppose them. In recent
Columbia demonstrations students and
professors were not permitted to at-

Murphy of Memphis State has en­countered.
Murphy recently requested
one of the school's photographers,
a shapely, < attractive brunette, • to
wear pants instead of her usual mini­skirt
when she's on the sidelines
making pictures. She must have been
taking the team's mind off the busi­ness
at hand. Memphis State is 2-2,
and if they should win the remainder
of their games, Murphy might be the
only coach in the nation who could
blame two losses on a mini-skirt.
Skirts and football apparently don't
mix.
A step in the right direction
The appointment of a Procedural
Committee charged to maintain an up-to-
date version of the Student Body
Constitution and recommend ways
that accurate records, of student gov­ernment
action could be recorded is
commendable. Although the current
student administration can not be
blamed for the failure to include an
amendment passed in 19G6 in the pre­sent
draft of the document, it is good
that President Jimmy Bryan is taking
steps to see that, such errors do not
occur again. The committee should
be diligent in performing its task.

By David Housel
The Johnson administration is rumored
to be considering a complete bombing halt
in North Vietnam. Such a step will have far reaching implica­tions
with the election only three weeks away.
When President Johnson announced his decision not to seek
another term, he announced a partial bombing halt. At that
time, he said the United
tend classes or oppose the SDS view
buildings held captive.
The SDS plans to disrupt the Pres­idential
election by holding militant
demonstrations in several large cities
is not in keeping with the principle
of free speech for everyone, not just
the minority. At some point the ma­jority's
rights must be protected
from encroachment by the minority.
Dr. Rose is searching for that point,
but it is too early to see what affect
this will have on freedom of speech
at Alabama.
The Crimson-White, student news­paper
at Alabama, has defended Pres­ident
Roses stand. DSO, the paper s
editor Dana Clay told the Plainsman,
recently refused to accept the finan­cial
obligations inherent to inviting a
guest speaker, especially a potential
trouble seeking speaker. Dr. Rose
would not permit the University to
favor one organization by picking up
the bill for its activities. This might
be the easy way out but Dr. Rose was
justified in his refusal. He has not,
according to the Crimson-White, editor,
indicated what his stand would be
should DSO accept the responsibility
to pay the speakers' expenses, pro­vide
speaking facilities and protec­tion
if needed. Kose has, however,
reemphasized his support for academic
freedom. He also supports a balanced
university-wide program which in­cludes
controversial speakers.
President Rose, has been a staunch
opponent of speaker ban bills which
periodically come before the conser­vative
vote conscious Alabama legis­lature.
Last spring, Dr. Rose rigorous­ly
defended the right of Alabama stu­dents
to have controversial speakers
at Emphasis 68, < their version of
AC 01 A. We do not believe that Dr.
Rose would reverse his stand on such
a fundamental issue in such a short
time. He should not be condemned
until all of the facts are in.
States would not take any
more conciliatory steps until
the North Vietnamese had in­dicated,
either at the peace
table or on the battle field,
that they were ready to make
concessions to end the war.
Since that time North Viet­nam
has made no apparent
move to indicate any such
concession. A full bombing
halt now would surely be
viewed in many quarters as
another step toward total
withdrawal from Vietnam.
Hanoi might also get the idea
that Washington can be slow­ly
driven out of the war, as
Mao Tse-Tung has suggested,
since the North Vietnamese
have made no hints of a con­cession
since April. Yet the
United States still appears
prepared to follow a course of
action which LBJ said we
would not take until North
Vietnam gave an indication it
would slow the pace of the
war. In essence, the United
States is going the second
mile, but the North Vietnamese
have yet to take the first
step openly.
the war to help his sagging
campaign.
Richard Nixon, surely must
be fearing such a move by the
President. He would be
placed in a difficult situa­tion.
Throughout the campaign
he has stated he would not
say or do anything which
might hurt the chances of
the Paris peace talks. Should
Nixon oppose the bombing
halt, he would be regarded as
a super-hawk, rivaling George
Wallace's running mate, Gen.
Curtis LeMay for the title.;
If there were a bombing
halt, he would probably be
faced with the unenviable
position of having to approve
it and say "me-too" to Pre­sident
Johnson's suggestion.
How else might he defend his
campaign assertions that
the President and people
around him who are informed
and in the know should make
the best decisions on the
war?
Who's minding the store?
The Auburn campus, in the heart of
Wallace Country, should be overflow­ing
with supporters of the former gov­ernors,

there is no organized support
for Wallace here. At least the Young
Democrats and the Young Republicans
can't find a campus group to represent
Wallace in an upcoming debate. This
is ironic since Wallace himself has

campaign.
Maybe Wallace workers think they
have the state wrapped up, but a Uni­versity

United States commitment
necessary in space race
By James Thornton
Time: 2:30 a.m. March 24, 1969.
Place: Somewhere between the earth and
the moon.
Event: Three Russian cosmonauts were enroute for a
race, indications are that the
date with history.
Destination: the moon.
Panic had broken loose back
on earth in the United States'
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration head­quarters.
Radar had just in­formed
officials that a soviet
spacecraft had just left the
earth's atmosphere apparently
heading for the moon. A
Soviet News Agency Tass
bulletin was informing a
startled world that they would
be the first to reach the moon.
Propaganda spouted, "This
is proof of the superiority of
communism over capitalism."
NASA officials, panicked
by members of Congress, the
President and thousands of
phone calls, decided to take
a dangerous gamble. Send a
man up to try and catch the
Russians and beat them to a
touchdown on the moon.
It was a desperate gamble
but something had to be done
even if it cost three Ameri­can
lives.
An Apollo spacecraft sitting
atop a Saturn rocket awaiting
final checkouts for a circular
flight around the moon later
in May, was hastily prepared
and fueled and three volun­teers
climbed into the craft
for the blastoff two hours
later. •
Two hours and one second
later they were on their way.
Twenty-five hours later three
Americans died in outer space
when-, a malfunction occurred
in the Apollo spacecraft's
life support system.
And the first human foot to
set a print in lunar soil be­longed
to a Russian cos­monaut.
;
It couldn't happen or could
it?
This imaginary event is not
an impossibility. It could well
happen if the U.S. continues
to lag behind in the race to
the moon.
Who - will be the first to
reach the moon? A Russian
or an American?
The Russians were first
to orbit a satellite, first to
walk in space, first to land
a payload on the moon and
now with Zond 5, first to
steer a spacecraft around the
dark side of the moon and
bring it home.
And if America maintains
its position of playing ' 'catch­up'
to Russia in the space
first manned spacecraft to
land on the moon will have
CCCP painted on its side
instead of USA.'
But what keeps America in
second place in the space
race? Since the first Russian
satellite jolted the U.S. out
of its slumbering lethargy
concerning efforts to pene­trate
space we have been con­stantly
jolted by the Russians
through their space achieve­ments.
And Congress over
the years has been nibbling
away at NASA's space ap­propriations
which did not
directly support manned space
flight.
James Webb, who was head
of the massive NASA pro­gram
recently resigned part­ly
because of the trimmed
NASA budget of $3.85 billion
en which Congress expected
the program to operate.
Webb also learned that he
would be called before the
Senate Space Committee to
justify NASA's operating ex­penses.
For Webb this was
the straw that broke the cam­el's
back and he quickly
handed in his resignation to
President Johnson.
Another reason is that
since the beginning of the
moon race America has be­come
involved in a long, un­popular
war in Vietnam and
racial and domestic prob­lems
have taken the fore­front
in American concern.
"Catch up" to the Rus­sians-
has become almost an
obscure and forgotten p a s ­time.
Although there are some
who say leave the moon alone
and take care of the coun­try's
problems first, we can
not forget the moon race if
we expect to win it. An Amer­ican
foothold on the moon is
vital to our national security
and for the future benefit of
mankind.
In the future outer space
will be the most vital con­cern
for mankind. And Amer­ica
can not afford to lag
behind Russia any longer if
she expects to maintain her
position of leadership among
the nations of the free world.
She can not afford to be.

Congressional antics
make the American way
A ^'' By Lyn Scarbrough
f/b\ M M An amusing finale came about last week
when the United States Congress, clam-moring
for adjournment in order to go home and campaign,
could not adjourn because too many of their number had al­ready
gone home to campaign.
With all reasonable chances of passing last-minute legisla­tion
gone, the chamber could
not be filled with the neces­sary
quorum for adjournment.
So for two extra days, the
session "officially" con­tinued
until the needed num­ber
could be mustered.
The last minute legisla­tive
log jam came about
largely due to back room pol­itical
red tape and partisian
belly-aching during the pre­vious
months of the regular
session. So at the end, ac­tion
on the nuclear prolifera­tion
treaty, electoral reform
and postal and transportation
improvements either were re­moved
from the floor or died
in committee.
This is not solely an in­dictment
against the 90th
Congress for lack of acti­vity.
It is also a narrative
on a legislative process
which has continued with few
changes for nearly 200 years.
No matter whether our next
President be a Democrat, a
Republican or an American
Independent, this general
process will probably remain
the same.
Congressmen, who impress
constituents with their sin­cerity,
dignity and dedica­tion
during campaigns, often
perform on the floor much
like delegates to a three-ring
national political convention.
Many sleep, read newspapers
and magazines, write letters
and talk among themselves.
One Senate leader used to
eat salami sandwiches while
on the floor and then wipe
his fingers on his glaringly
bald head. And of course,
there are always representa­tives
who read the New York
City telephone directory or
give homestate hushpuppy
recipes during filibusters on
vital issues.
Minor proposals often reach
the floor and draw interesting
discussion while seemingly
more important legislation
mires deeper in the Congress­ional
mud. Several years ago
an Oregon senator argued
heatedly against a new fish
cannery for the District of
Columbia.
"We need a new cannery in
Washington like I need the
Washington Monument moved
into my back yard," he shout­ed
emphatically. After several
hours of debate, action was
taken and the Senate moved
on to similar matters vital
to our national security.
Each session the number
of liberals and conservatives
change and issues vary, but
both sides are always disap­pointed
and invariably blame
the other.
In the 90th Congress,
liberals wanted larger tax
increases, broader gun con­trol,
more foreign aid. and
larger "Great Society" in­creases.
Conservatives want­ed
greater cutbacks and more
restrictions on "big govern­ment,"
but usually they
could only delay action and
not prevent it.
In the meantime, Congress
was taking no action on 18-
year-old voting, foreign trav­el
curbs, a lottery-type draft
system, expanded unemploy­ment
benefits, suspending
provisions for presidential
candidates' television de­bates,
and creating four-year
terms for U.S. Representa­tives.
So with votes recorded,
charges against the opposi­tion
made and political
tongues wagging. Congress
again recessed last week.
They will reconvene next
year, and though many faces
will change, the legislative
antics will undoubtedly not.
But then, why should they?
They've worked for almost
200 years. It's the American
way!

IFC grade rule
By Joe Lehman
Auburn's fraternity system
has enough problems without
being threatened internally.
But the system was assailed
again this week, and this time
the attackers were fraternity
members.
Certain fraternities ques-the
consti­tutional
lega­lity
of the
Inter frater­nity
Coun­cil's
pledge
scholar ship
rule which
requires a
pledge to
make a 1.2 to
b e eligible
for initiation. These frater­nities
felt that the rule, which
was passed last spring, was
illegal since, in their
opinion, proper parliamentary
procedure was not followed in
the rule's passage. Joe Busta,
IFC President, explained to
the dissenters that the rule
was legal since the process
for passing changes in IFC
by-laws is not the same as
that for constitutional amend­ments.
However, what is disturb­ing
about this case is not
that some fraternities ques­tioned
the legality of the rule
• merely to set the record
straight but that they did so
for selfish reasons. These
fraternities apparently believe
that stricter pledge scholar­ship
requirements will de­crease
the number of pledges
which they will be able to
initiate and, in actuality,
questioned the rule in an at­tempt
to change the require­ment
back to a 1.0.
That many fraternities re­sent
any attempt to centra­lize
authority in the IFC can­not
be denied. Fraternity men I
would rather keep control of |
their affairs, academic or
otherwise, in their own chap­ters.
And in some cases this |
is possible.
At the same time, howeven,
the image of the entire fra­ternity
system is dependent |
on the image of each indivi­dual
member. And ironically,
what the dissenting frater­nities
don't seem to realize |
is that the scholarship rule
is very n e c e s s a r y for the
survival of the system-a I
system of which they are an |
equal part.
Statistics compiled by the
Registrar for the 1967-68
academic year show that only
four social fraternities were
able to maintain a composite
grade point average which
was higher than the 1.45 all-men's
average; certainly this
is not an outstanding record.
Fraternity men have rarely
set a blistering pace with
academics. Admittedly their
interests, as a group, are
varied and to receive the
advantages of fraternity
life, individual members must
sacrifice a certain amount of j
time and energy which could
otherwise be devoted to
study.
However, better fraternities
consider themselves to be
more than social clubs. Their
purpose centers around the
total development of every
aspect of a brother's college
life-including scholarship.
This development of the "all-around,
all-American" young
man has been one of the tra­ditional
appeals of frater­nities,
but apparently a num­ber
of Auburn fraternities
have forgotten this traditional
aspect of fraternity life.
Further, poor fraternity
grades indicate to the uni­versity
community that fra­ternities
are a negative in­fluence,
and eventually the
negative influence of poor
grades will override
the extra-curricular justifi­cation
of the Greek system.
Although grades are not I
the single most important
factor in the s u c c e s s or
failure of fraternities, the
system will eventually die if
the present trend of poor scho-1
lastic achievement continues.
And this is the irony of I
what happened this week.
Even if the s c h o l a r s h i p!
rule was passed illegally,!
which it wasn't, the neces­sity
and validity of the rulel
should not have been ques- [
tioned.

Editor, The Plainsman:
The spirit and enthusiasm
of a university are projected
through the participation of
the university's student body
in its athletic events. The
Auburn Interfraternity Coun­cil's
Presidents Commission
at this time is concerned not
only for its Greek members,
but for the student body as a
whole.;
This year Auburn students
have received the worst seats
ever in Cliff Hare Stadium.
This is exemplified by many
fraternities and other Auburn
organizations receiving seats
in the North Stands which are
wooden bleachers-bleachers
with no concessions and poor
restroom facilities!
We realize that the job of
allocating student seats is a
difficult task, but we feel
that; Auburn students deserve
better seats.
We feel that all students
should have the right to be
seated along the sidelines.
This policy would pose no
great problems because at the
present, a certain number of
sections are reserved for stu­dents
and under the new
policy the same number of
sections would be reserved.
The only, difference would be
in reserving the entire side­line
instead of the end zones
and a small part of the side­lines.
The priority of students'
tickets should rank equally
with any other group's priority
and hopefully this policy will
be reflected in next year's
ticket sales.
Brice D. James, Chairman
IFC's President's
Commission
Student vote favored
honor code last spring
Editor, The Plainsman:
Last week's editorial col­umn
referred to the proposed
academic honor code. It is
felt that it would be of gen­eral
benefit to the Editor of
The Plainsman and to all
whose concern he has aroused,
this matter.
In 1926, the administration
removed from the "student"
honor code and in its place
installed the one found pre­sently
in the Tiger Cub (pages
99 and 141). A few of the
disadvantages of the present
system include (1) a faculty
honor code for students; (2) a
review board with a student
minority; (3) consideration of
appealed cases only; and (4)
the philosophy that a student
is guilty until proven innocent.'
Other disadvantages are ob­vious
on careful examination.
The honor system has de­generated
to the point that
the President of Auburn Uni­versity
gave to the Academic
Honesty Committee the power
of setting its own guidelines
while awaiting the senate's
proposed system last spring.
The proposed code, drafted
after an in-depth study of
other campuses and of Au­burn's
situation, has been
modified and refined by the
Academic Honesty Committee,
the Student Senate, the Pres­ident
and Vice-President of
Auburn University, and a joint
student, faculty, administra­tion
committee. Later this
month, the proposed code is
to be submitted to the Faculty
Senate for study and recom­mendation.
The same editorial called
for a student body referen-sum.
Last spring, the pro­posed
code was submitted to
such a referendum and passed.
A survey was also made
for the purpose of bringing
to light student feelings on
the proposals. It should be
emphasized that a majority of
those students voting, fa­vored
the new honor code,
and 80 per-cent of those sur­veyed
indicated that they
would abide by the provi­sions
of the proposed code.
With these points in imind,
the purpose of last week's
editorial on the proposed
academic honor code is in­deed
vague. It is disappoint1
ing to know how inadequate­ly
the Editor of The Plains­man
has fulfilled his obliga
this important issue.
Bill Satterfield
5VM
Ed. note: While a spring refer­endum
favored revision of the
honor code, students were not
asked to approve any specific
changes including several
proposals which have been
made by the Academic Honesty
Committee since the vote,
according to members of the
committee.
Columns should explore
candidates' delhienies
Editor, The Plainsman:
There is a certain virtue, I
suppose, in filling editorial
space with the obvious. I re­fer
to the column predicting
Vice-president Humphrey's
defeat in November, a rather
safe position by anyone's ad­mission.
While the "safe"
editorial appears to be your
forte this year, you might
better serve this student body
in the remaining weeks of an
admittedly boring presidential
campaign by exploring the
virtues and the more obvious
deficiencies of the man w6
are about to sweep into the
White House.
With your decision for
Nixon, added to that of Rev.
Billy Graham's, we would
only hope that you were not
converted through faith alone.
If Nixon's war policy (?)
leaves something to be de-.
sired, then his approach to
domestic ills, by comparison,

wants for everything. Like
Wallace, Nixon's law and or­der
plea is largely an euphe­mism
for "keep blacks in
their place." Where Wallace
is anti-black and anti-intel­lectual,
Nixon is pro-middle
class white and pro-simple
people. Both positions fail
because they ignore our des­perate
need to bridge race,
ethnic, and education gaps.
Where Wallace's humanism
is tempered by prejudice,
Nixon's humanism is blighted
with expediency. Though the
most loyal Democrat is unex-cited
about the Humphrey cand­idacy,
there is sufficient
distrust of the alternatives
to rally support. If the Re­publicans
can offer nothing
more than apple pie and
motherhood, liberals may well
learn to live with pills.

Tiger Topics *t • • 'i-
By Richard VMsh
Sports Editor
War Eagling on the corner
"They'll be yelling 'War Eagle' up at Toomer's
Corner..." began the opening sentence in Sports
Illustrated's 1964 college football issue. Auburn, 9-1
the year before, was tabbed by SI as the number one team
team in the nation. The prediction didn't come off; pla­gued
by injuries, Auburn finished with a 6-4 record.
From the lead sentence in the article, I would guess
that it was once a tradition to go up to Toomer's Corner
and shout Auburn's battle cry after a victory. Somewhere
along the line, maybe during that disappointing 1964
•season, the tradition faded. That's a shame. ;
I tried it the night after we beat Kentucky; yelling
"War Eagle" up at the Corner, I mean. I wanted to do
that before I graduated. Try it some time. This Saturday,
| if you happen not to be making the pilgrimage to Birming­ham
to see us play Georgia Tech...
A great compliment
. . . I suppose coach Ralph Jordan paid Auburn safety
Buddy McClinton the ultimate compliment, as far as
Tiger football goes, last Saturday during the Clemson
game.
McClinton reached in front of a Clemson pass receiver
land steamed 54Jyar4s down the sideline with an inter-ception
for a fourth quarter touchdown which broke Clem-son's
back and iced the ball game for Auburn.
1 Jordan cheered him on from the Tiger bench, taking off
Miis battered plaid fedora hat and waving it in circles
'over his head.
| McClinton held the ball for John Riley's placement
kick. Buddy then trotted wearily over to the bench and
sat down to take a well-earned breather. It was then
that coach Jordan walked over to Buddy and momentarily
placed his hat upon McClinton's head arid received a
big grin from the talented junior...
Return with us now to yesferyeor
. . .Last season after the Alabama-Auburn game, on his
Sunday television show, coach Jordan commented on
Kenny Stabler's touchdown run, which defeated the
Tigers, 7-3. Jordan pointed out the Tide's Dennis Dixon
"blocking" linebacker Gusty Yearout, one of the last
Auburn players who had a shot at Stabler as he splashed
to the Auburn end zone.
Dixon's block, said Shug (and this showed up vividly
in the films), looked'more like a tackle.
Shortly afterward, Birmingham News sports editor
Benny Marshall wrote a column, admonishing Jordan for
making a fuss over a ball game which was finished and
chastising him for specifically naming Dixon as the
"blocker."
Mr. Marshall, was, I suppose, justified in writing this
column. After all, once a game is over, it's over.
And if a football game was ever over, last Saturday's
Vanderbilt game was in the fourth quarter, with Alabama
leading, 31-7.
At this point a controversy occurred. Alabama kicked
off. The line-drive ball hit the umpire in the stomach,
and was recovered by Alabama. But the umpire gave the
ball to Vandy, claiming it had not traveled 10 yards,
which it in fact did and which it must to be considered
a free ball. In an ensuing argument, Alabama coach
"Bear" Bryant was penalized 15 yards for his remon-strations.
So, Mr. Marshall saw fit to dedicate his Monday column
to the controversy. He wrote the column, I guess, in a
spirit of fun. Still in all, he filled 38 column inches of
newspaper space reliving a play of little importance
,, which occurred in a ball game long completed. And he
named the person responsible for the controversy. There
•was also a two-column picture portraying the incident
flanking his column, as "proof" of the umpire's dastardly
t error.
Maybe coach Jordan should get equal time this Sunday
on television...
Bowling Green?
...The college football team with the best won-lost
percentage in the nation during the last eight years, in
case you have ever lost any sleep wondering, about such
matters, is none other than Alabama. This fact is re­vealed
in the current Tide football brochure, which lists
the percentages of all major college football teams. As

Tiger offense ignites, sears Clemson
By RICK MORROW
Headlines on the sports
pages of many local news­papers
read thusly last
Sunday morning: 'Auburn
rally stops ClemsOn...Au-burn's
sleeping offense fi­nally
awakens."
They were reporting Au­burn's
21-10 victory over
Clemson in Clemson, S.C.
The majority opinion was
that Auburn s defense had
beaten Clemson, and that the
Tigers' offense was there
only to have the ball three
plays and then punt.
But Auburn s defensive
players felt much differently
about this opinion.
'One team complements
the other, one does the scor­ing
while the other prevents
it," said Sonny Ferguson,
Auburn's outstanding rover
on defense. "After the of­fense
scores we always get
fired up and really start hit­ting."
'Our offense did a tremen-uous
job," said linebacker
Mike Kolen. "They have been
the only team to move on
Clemson this year. What fans
don't realize is that the Clem­son
defensive line averaged
250 pounds per man. It's the
team that won. Nobody gave
up."
To beat an inspired Clem­son
team at "Death Valley"
and at their homecoming it
takes more than a good foot­ball
team. It takes clutch
plays, and team pride.
Some of the clutch plays
Saturday included Connie
Frederick's 70-yard punt af­ter
fielding a ball which had
been snapped over his head
and then kicking it on the run.
BIGGEST PLAY
"I think that was the big­gest
play of the game," said
coach Ralph Jordan of Fred­erick's
boot.
The defense also had two
clutch stands inside their
20-yard line that yielded only
a 27-yard field goal by Clem-son's
Jimmy Barnett. Au­burn's
defensive backfield
came up with six intercep­tions,
giving the Tigers a
four-game total of 16 inter­ceptions,
only five short of
an Auburn season record. One
of the thefts was returned 54
yards for a touchdown by safe­ty
Buddy McClinton, giving
Auburn a zl-8 fourth quarter
lead.
HURSTON BROKE OUT
Auburn s offense battled
the Clemson line on even
terms until the third quarter,
when Dwight Hurston, the
Tigers speedy tailback,
broke around end for two long
runs, one for 39 yards and a
touchdown. His other dash
was for 17 yards and set up
Auburn's first score, a four-yard
run by quarterback Loran
Carter.
"They were so big, they
looked like the Green Bay
Packers," said Hurston of
the Clemson defensive line.
"I was at my top speed for a
change and only had to break
a few arm tackles on my
score. The blocking was
great."
Clemson scored its only
touchdown early in the fourth
quarter on a five-yard run by
fullback Benny Michael. Clem­son
s great running back,
Buddy Gore, gained 73 yards,
but was held for a three-yard
average and to no gain on
several key yardage situa­tions
in the first half.
"We really grew up as far
as getting out there and get­ting
with them and not let­ting
down," said Ferguson
about the team's overall per-formanc
e. " Eve rybody car­ried
out their jobs and it
paid off in the end."
'I had much confidence in
the condition of the team,"
Jordan replied. "We let the
big fellows run around and run
down in the first half. Then
we took over the second.''

Having proved that they

Tech pass offense in Bir­mingham's
Legion Field
Saturday at 1:30 p.m. ,if the
Tigers are to win four straight
for the first time since 1963,
when Auburn went 9-1.
The Tech attack is primarily
a passing game led by quar­terback
Larry Good. He is
definitely unafraid to put the
ball in the air, as his average
of around 20 tosses a game
proves.;
Good's primary receiver is
flanker John Sias. Sias last
year caught 42 passes for
671 yards. His primary forte
is speed, as he runs the hund­red
in 9.3, and he has ex­ceptionally
good hands. In
addition to Sias, the Engineers
have other outstanding re­ceivers
in tight end Joel
Stevenson and split end Tim
Woodall.

Back 'home'i
in B'ham
By LARRY BLAKENEY
Of the Auburn Tigers
The Auburn Tigers have
solidly whipped three tough
opponents on the road af-fer
an opening loss to
Southern Methodist, a team
which has proven to be a
threat to take the Southwest
Conference title this year.
Although Auburn will tech­nically
still be on the road
this coming weekend, they
are going to play under much
more favorable conditions
than they did in Jackson,
Miss., Lexington, Ky., and
in famed "Death Valley" in
Clemson, S.C. It's almost
like playing a home game
when Auburn plays in Bir­mingham
since the Tigers have
many players who are return­ing
there to play before peo­ple
who cheered them during
their high school days.
FRIENDLY TERRITORY
Although the Plainsmen
are returning to friendly ter­ritory
this weekend, the fact
remains that we must play
the Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets. This has always
been a hard-fought series and
it's a well-known fact also
that anything can happen when
Aubum and Tech get together.
The Engineers have not
had an impressive record so
far this year. They defeated
T.C.U. by a score of 17-7,
lost valiantly to a tough Miami
team by a 10-6 margin, de­feated
big, rugged Clemson
29-21, and lost to South­eastern
Conference power
Tennessee, 27-0.
As you can see, Auburn
and Tech have played only one
common opponent, Clemson.
Tech kicked a field goal
late in the game to break a tie
after coming from behind. The
game was played in Grant
Field of Atlanta.
Auburn came from behind
also, but a little more con­vincingly
in a game played
in Clemson territory.
MUST STOP PASSING
Auburn must stop a strong
Tech passing game. Larry
Good, senior quarterback,
will be doing the throwing
with All-Star candidate John
Sias, Joel Stevenson and
others doing the catching.
The key to an Auburn victory
will probably lie in the hands
of a fine Tiger secondary
which has intercepted its
share this year.
Tech will probably have
their usual wrecker-type de­fense,
which has been good
for them in the last three
years. This defense is ac­tually
a variation of a 4-3 de­fense
(four man front and
three linebackers), with a
wrecker back who plays the
strength of the opposing
team's offensive attack.

By JOE FRIDDLE
During the 17th century,
three gallant swordsmen of
fortune and fiction roamed
the French countryside,
righting wrongs and ren­dering
services to all. They
were known as the Three
Musketeers.
This football season tht,
Auburn Tigers have produced
their own version of the
"Three Musketeers." Instead
of roaming the countryside,
they roam football fields and
rob Auburn's opponents of
timely thrown passes. The
three comprise the Tigers'
defensive secondary, and their
names are Don Webb, Merrill
Shirley and Buddy McClinton.
. With six games remaining
in the 1968 season, the
Musketeers have already in­tercepted
11 passes. The,
Auburn team total is 16.
At this rate. Auburn inter­ception

"We ran better than we did

"but we still have a long
way to go.

Rosen, "but the other

year was made by safety
McClinton, who returned a
theft 54 yards for a touchdown
last week against Clemson.
It was Auburn's first touch­down
scored on an interception
since 1965, when Bill Cody
scored against Florida.
McClinton, a junior, as are
all the Musketeers, says that
the play was the most thrilling
experience in his college
career.; It rates over being
named to the all-Southeastern
Conference sophomore team
last year.
"I wasn't thinking about an
interception," says Buddy,
' 'much less a touchdown. 1
only thought about playing
the ball from the snap. I took
a gamble and went for the ball.
GREAT BLOCKING
"The defense did a great
job of blocking and I was
lucky to get into the end zone.
I wanted to score, because
when you get so close, you
can just smell it."
After his run, Buddy thanked
his defensive teammates for
helping him get "their"
touchdown.
All three Musketeers agree
on the reason they have been
able to make the big plays
this year.
"We all started together as
freshmen and have worked up
to the number one unit to­gether,"
says Shirley.
A key phrase is mentioned
')y all three-"friends."
GOOD FRIENDS
"We are all good friends,"
says Webb. "We've worked
together so long that we just
feel and know what the two
can do and are doing. If I
come up real quick, I know
Buddy is covering behind
me.''*

interception last Saturday, I

and would cover if I missed."
"We have to be quick and
react," says Webb, "that's
essential. But the big play is
easier if the other team is in
a hole or having to play
catch-up ball. The ball is in
the air more, and if the line
really rushes their quarter­back,
the ball is anybody's.';'
Their responsibility is not
only to guard against the
pass, but to stop any runner
who breaks through the Tigers'
front-line defenses.
CONFIDENCE
"I have confidence that I
can stop the run," says Mc­Clinton,
"but I still have to
be ready on every play. I'm
the last man in our defense.
I can't miss tackles, because
a mistake would probably cost
us a touchdown.
"After the game, a missed
tackle is only a minus on a
grade sheet, but when one of
us misses, it stands out twice
as much as when anyone else
does.';'
Says defensive backfield
coach Bill Oliver of the trio,
"They are intelligent people
and have a burning desire to
get the football. They've
developed the extra sense it
takes to get the right angle
on a pass or ball carrier in
any given situation, and ex­perience
has taught them to
read the ball well. They just
want to be winners."
Webb and McClinton nearly
missed coming to Auburn.
They received the last two
scholarships given to pro­spective
1966 freshmen.
Shirley was the last of the
three to assume a starting
role. He' played an average
amount last year, substituting
for the graduated Jimmy Car­ter
on occasion and covering
kickoffs.
Webb moved up to the
starting spot last year after
senior Robert Fulghum broke
his leg. McClinton was a
starter all the way last year
as a rookie.
"You can't beat experi­ence,
"says McClinton. "Last
year I was inexperienced and
nervous, unable to relax."
The Three Musketeers can't
relax too much yet, for this
Saturday they face Georgia
Tech's dangerous passer,
Larry Good. There should be
lots of passes thrown.
Saturday the Three Muske­teers
may roam and steal once
again.

'Back yard' battle
was AU-Tech thriller
It was one of those days that was destined to be great.
Auburn, behind quarterback Jimmy Sidle and runner
Tucker Frederickson, was in Atlanta's Grant Field to
take on those hated men from the Flats, the Georgia
Tech Yellow Jackets.
Tech had its share of great ones on that day in 1963.
They had quarterback Billy Lothridge, end Ted Davis,
and end Billy Martin. All of those were to be all-
Americas, as were Sidle and Frederickson.
The game was billed as nothing less than the greatest
show on earth, and it was all that and more.
It was a great moment in Auburn sports.
Tech's Jimmy Gresham intercepted a pass early in the
game and returned it to the Auburn 21. Fifty thousand
Tech fans were delighted.
A rent Tiger T ales
By ROY RILEY
Five plays later, Ray Meinham bulled into the end
zone and Lotridge booted the PAT. It was 7-0, and Tech
had the momentum.
But Sidle got the Tigers back in the game on passes
to Larry Rawson (29 and 20 yards) and to Howard Simpson
(11 yards.)
Then Sidle stuck it in the end zone, and Woody
Woodall'skick tied it at 7-7.
Ten thousand Auburn fans were quite vocal.
Later, Sidle passed to end Mike Helms. Frederickson
smashed for six, then 11 more.
Si die's pass to Rawson got the Tigers ahead and
Woodall's boot was true.
Fourteen-seven.. .and in Tech's back yard, too.
HURSTON GRABBED LOTHRIDGE
Lothridge found the going rough and Chuck Hurston
grabbed him in the end zone for an Auburn safety.
Sixteen-seven.. .and right there in front of all those
Tech fans in their own back yard.
But Tech was not about to quit.
Lothridge and his mates marched 80 yards before the
end of the first half and Terry Haddock took it in on the
14th play. Lotheridge's kick was good.
Tech threatened in the second half when Menheim
sailed 51 yards to the Auburn 17, But Auburn held at the
eight.
After a punt out at the Auburn 42, Tech showed why
they were feared. They drove those 42 yards quickly,
and Lothridge passed to Dick Emerson for the TD.
It was 21-16. And right there in Tech's back yard in
front of all those howling Jacket fans.
Don Lewis got Auburn back on the road with a 16-yard
gallop.
Then Sidle threw to George Rose at the Tech 36.
On third down and long yardage from the 25, Sidle
handed to the magnificient Frederickson and the all-
America from Hollywood, Fla. ran right out of Tech's back
yard.
Woodall was true again and it was 23-21. Tech's back
yard had just been mowed.
TECH FIZZLED
Another Tech drive fizzled out and Woodall boomed a
41-yard field goal to make it 26-21, still not out of dan­ger.
The Tiger defense held again in the waning moments,
despite the pleas of the Tech loyalists, and after a long
drive, Woodall kicked a 23-yard field goal to put the game
on ice.
And that's the way it was one beautiful afternoon at
Grant Field in 1963.

Vols try to break Bear's heart again
By MIKE ANDERSON
It's said Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant holds a
special place in his heart for any team that beats his
Crimson Tide. ;
Last year Tennessee's Vols pulled the plug on the
Tide, spiking the Alabama attack right into the ground
for the only regular season Tide loss, a loss that ended
a three-year winning streak and gave the Vols the top
spot in the Southeastern Conference.
In the process, I'm positive the men from Big Orange
Country endeared themselves to Bryant deeply.
Around the SEC
There's a rumor out that revenge planning and strategy
for the big Tide-Vol game in Knoxville Saturday began
shortly after the clock struck 12 for Alabama last season
in Birmingham.
Why else would Alabama spend roughly $200,000 on a
practice field?
Did Coach Bryant actually buy artificial grass for his
practice field solely to reduce injuries to his players, or
was he thinking ahead to the Tide's encounter with Ten­nessee,
on the Vols' artificial grass playing field in
Neyland Stadium?
Whatever the reason for the artificial turf, Bryant and
his Tiders will definitely be out to knock off undefeated
Tennessee.
The Crimson Tide seems to be on the winning track
despite a 10-3 loss to Mississippi in their third game.
Alabama bounced back last week with a 31-7 drubbing
of Vanderbilt.
After the game, Bryant said he was "especially proud
that they showed a lot of poise and confidence."
Alabama continues to display the toughest defense
in the league, particularly against running. Anchored by
middle guard Sam Gellerstedt and linebacker Mike Hall,
the Tide defenders held Vanderbilt to minus 29 yards
rushing.
Vandy does not have the ground game that Tennessee
possesses, however. The Vols have the second leading
rusher in the Conference in fullback Richard Pickens,
and tailback Richmond Flowers scooted for 101 yards
against Georgia Tech last weekend.
Tennessee can also move well through the air. Quar­terback
Bubba Wyche is the man who takes care of Vol
passing chores.
Alabama fans will remember the name "Wyche." He
came off the bench last year as an unheralded third
string quarterback and shocked the Tide with an eighi
for 15 passing performance, directing Tennessee to
24-13 victory.
The Tide will not be surprised by Wyche this year, bui
they still may not be able to stop him. Georgia couldn't
and he brought Tennessee behind to tie the Bulldogs
17-17, in the last seconds of the ball game. Three othei
opponents haven't been able to halt him, namely Mem'
phis State, Rice and Georgia Tech.
The Tennessee defense would like nothing better thai
to repeat last year's performance.
STOPPED THE TIDE
The Vol secondary intercepted five passes that day,
Last week against Georgia Tech, they were fairly passed
out of Grant Field, as Larry Good put the ball in the aii
61 times for the Engineers. But Tennessee gave up only
one touchdown in winning, 24-7.
Tennessee's defense will play just as brutally as
Alabama's, if not more so. Against Tech, the Vols caused
and recovered six fumbles and intercepted twice.
Neither team will have trouble getting up for this, game.
Tennessee still simmers over a narrow 11-10 loss to the
Tide in Knoxville two years ago, and the Vols will want
to win for the homefolks this Saturday.
Alabama and the Bear have not lost to any team for
two years in a row in recent seasons, and that's incentive
enough for the Tide.
PICKS TENNESSEE
I pick Tennessee to turn this trick against the Tide.
The game will probably be very close, say two or three
points. Only a complete breakdown on either team's
part will produce any other results.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the SEC: Florida will
struggle by yet another weak team, North Carolina;
Georgia will celebrate homecoming by roasting Vander­bilt;
Louisiana State rebounds from the Miami fiasco by
beating an improving Kentucky; Mississippi will whip
Southern Mississippi, though not easily, as no one does
and, though I hate to write it, Mississippi State will ex­tend
its losing streak to four games against Texas Tech.

Italian is famous as Auburn's leading scorer on the 1966
College Bowl team and the former driver for Sorrento's
Pizza Wagon.
The fighting Mules of Muhlenberg lost to Lebanon
Valley 39-29 last week. Tonto sent us the report on the
game and roughly translated it read: "Score tied with
five minutes left. Stupid fan throw extra ball out on
field and both teams score simultaneously, all together,
at same time. Lebanon Valley scoreTDs but dumb Mules
only kick field goals. That's all, Kemo Sabe.'
Try yelling on the corner
(Continued from page 6)
to the reason why the time span of eight years was
chosen, instead of, say, a decade, I leave to you for
your consideration. I have already formed an opinion on
the subject.
By the way, the team with the second best percentage
is, naturally enough, Bowling Green. I used to think
Bowling Green was an outdoor ten pin set up or some­thing,
until I met a guy who went to school there this
summer. He told me all about their fine football team.
Auburn is listed 28 notches below Bowling Green...
...But even that shouldn't stop you from going up to
Toomer's Corner sometime and yelling about the eagle.

It is hard to believe that
a group of boys so organized
and dedicated on a team
level can be so uncon­cerned
and unorganized on
a league level, but t h is
is the road, voluntarily or in­voluntarily,
that the partici­pants
of the independent in­tramural
program have been
traveling for as long as I
have been around.
Admittedly, intramural
sports are not a matter of life
and death, but the indepen-cent
managers have a chance
to put some life in their pro­gram
tonight when the meet
in the Student Act at 7 p.m.
FOLLOW FRATERNITIES
If they were to decide to
follow the foundations set up
by the fraternities, they might
decide to hold a weekly or
bimonthly meeting to discuss
schedule conflicts, or dis­cuss
referees who continue to
call bad games or pick a rep­resentative
and fair all-star
team, or discuss champion­ship
games with fraternities,
or discuss publicity prob­lems
incurred in the Plains­men.
This is the chance for the
independent teams to become
organized on a league level,
not just a team level. I hope
they will take advantage of
their opportunity and elect a
league president or pub­licity
chairman.
LAST WEEK
In last week's action Navy,
Campus Inn, and the Rejects
have established themselves
as early frontrunners, while
in League 2, A PHI O, BSU,
and Wesley are the teams to
watch. In Dormitory play Div­isions
U, DO, G, AK, HIJ,
and PI were the first round
winners. In League 5 the Air
Force was shot down by the
Blues, the Rebels surrendered
to the Hawks, and Agronomy
and Soils buried Math.
The Southern Gentlemen of
Kappa Alpha and the Red
Bandits of Delta Chi both
have 2-0 slates in League 2
of the fraternity leagues. The
KA s have looked sharp
against two mediocre teams in
Delta Sigma Phi and Alpha
Psi, but last week when they
lost Van Treadaway with an
ankle injury, it reminded them
of the day Robert E. Lee
died. The Delta Chi's will
have to improve upon last
week's victory over scrappy
Delta Tau Delta if they are
to go much farther.
Hubert Clark pulled the
Oates of OTS over Sigma Chi
in League 1 with a fantastic
catch in the end zone with
1:45 remaining. The Speedy
Runts of Beta ThetaPi turned
into the Toddling Turtles
but were still able to pull
out an overtime victory over
Kappa Sigma four yards to
-lu yards.
In League 3 the Lamda
Chi's have a 2-0 record, but
will have a tough time when
they meet both PKA and ATO.
Last week the Lamda Chi's:,
behind Stan Bryant, sneaked
by Delta Upsilon, which used
the services of Ed Smithwick,
Lee Brown, and Company.
The Pikes looked so-so
against Theta Chi, but they
ha ve the makings to go places.
Theta Chi suffered a big blow
in the loss of Jimmy Watts.
Phi Gamma Delta's defense,
led by Jack Mills, helped put
down a mean Phi Tau team,
13-7, and Tom Crowder of Pi
Kappa phi looked like a rab­bit-
runner while scoring two
TDs against Phi Delta Theta.
Sigma Pi and SPE had to go
into overtime, but Sigma Pi
came through to score 34
yards against SPE's zero
yards.

Records in sight for Christian
Auburn split end Tim Christian (85) moves upfield after
catching a Loran Carter pass last Saturday against Clemson.
Christian's three receptions in "Death Valley" gave him
22 catches for the year. The receptions have netted Chris­tian
253 yards and two touchdowns. With six games remain­ing
on Auburn's schedule, Tim has a chance to break three
school single-season pass catching records. Freddie Hyatt
holds the records for most catches, 34, and yards gained
receiving, 553. Freddie is also one of four Auburn players
to score six times by catching the football.

"Funny Thing' opens
in theatre Monday
to begin diama season
'A Funny Thing Hap­pened
on the Way to the
Forum," the University
Theatre's first production
of the season opens Mon­day.
The musical comedy,
directed by Leo Comeau, pro­fessor,
department of the
theatre, will run through Nov.
2 and Nov. 7-9.
The play is based on the
plays of Plautus and takes
place 200 years before the
Christian era. "It is less of
a musical comedy than a six-day
chariot race with horse­laughs
for horses. It's a kind
of "Bed Her," the "her" be­ing
the lovely Philia over
whom young and old, citizen
and slave, man, woman and
eunuch work themselves up
into one of the most marvel-ously
polyphonal tizzies ever
pun on stage," said Dr. Ken­neth
Campbell, drama depart­ment
head.
The Broadway hit which
was also made into a movie
is about Pseudolus, a Roman
slave, wily throughout the
days and nights, working to­ward
the wonder of freedom.
This leading role will feature
Rick Pike, a junior drama
major who appeared in five
major Auburn Theatre produc­tions
last year and has just
returned from a summer at
the Cecilwood Theatre in
New Jersey.
Maureen Brown, a senior
drama major, is cast as Phil­ia,
the female lead. The Au­burn
theatre goers have seen
Maureen in "The Fantastics"
and "Aladdin."
Others in the cast are
Sharon Papian, Jared Davis,
Jeff Peacock, Bucky Newman,
Aaron Smith, Rick Sparks,
Buck Ranny, Claire Marty,
Kristen Wegener, Leslie
Chambliss, Jan Pitsenberger,
Vallie Mell, Don Brown, Larry
Stafford, George Walker, Peter
Dubuc, Jane Kepner, and
Randall Penn. Set designer
and technical director is J.
Ramsey Gibson; choreographer
is Pat Noble, and Art Schnei­der
is the pianist.
Curtain time is at 8:15 p.m.
in the Auburn Little Theatre
on College Street. Tickets
go on sale Monday in Depart­ment
of Theatre Office. Stu­dents
with I.D. cards will be
admitted free, but due to
limited space, it is request
that reservations be made by
calling 826-4154.

Boob and marriaae: a way of life for 3, students
Youthful optimism, endurance
characterize married couples
"Say, neighbor, could I borrow an
egg?" said a feminine voice outside the
window.
"Sure," said another young woman
bending intently over a pan peeling pota­toes,
"but it will have to be a powdered
one. We're fresh out of the real thing."
"Oh," said the visitor, stepping ginger­ly
through the window into the room,
"that's okay. I'm making brownies to take
to a party. Nobody'U know the difference
anyway."
She took the powdered egg and left by
the same window.
Neighborly exchanges are a new ex­perience
for newly wed students John
and Linda Hopkins. Married only three
weeks, they haven't even paid their first
electric bill as husband and wife.
Their only neighbors, Fred and Mary
Ann VanHartesveldt just eight weeks mar­ried,
live a "stone's throw" down the
wooded dirt road which comes to an ab­rupt
end in front of their home located
north of Opelika.
Linda and Mary Ann were roommates
last year, so they feel free to call on
each other when necessary.
But the two couples have more than
their newlywed status in common; all four
are students who have a year or more
ahead of them before graduation and all
share the unique problems of married
students.
'Unusual' housing situation
For John and Linda it is a rather "un­usual"
housing situation. They recently
moved into Mary Ann's grandfather's
house, which was to have been burned
down. The old weather-beaten structure,
deserted several years and smelling of
decay in all the rooms except the ones
that have been revitalized through hours
of painting and cleaning, sits shakily
on crumbling foundations and leans visi­bly
toward the rear.
"This is almost luxury for us," com­ments
John optimistically. "When Linda
and I first started making plans to get
married last spring, we had no idea where
we would live. Both of us have 'roughed
it' before. I once lived in a tent for three
months."
Nevertheless, their little "love nest"
would make even the hardiest pioneer
think twice before moving in-even though
it is rent free. Among its many deficien­cies,
the house lacks a hot water heater
and a conventional stove.
"Bathing is an interesting experience,"
said Linda. "We heat our water on a.two-burner
portable stove which we keep in
the bathroom. We also have a Coleman
stove in the entrance hall where I cook
all our meals. Our kitchen is not usable
yet, but we do use the refrigerator."
The couple's present living quarters,
one large room at the front of the house,
serves as living room, dining room, bed­room
and study.
Quiet place to study
"We hope to clean out the entrance
hall next," said John. "We need another
place to study so one can have quiet if
the other is doing something else. But it
will take a long time. We spent all our
free time this summer cleaning and fixing
the room we use now."
Belying its name, the entrance hall is
cluttered shoulder-high with musty old
furniture, clothes and junk-which ex­plains
why the window is currently a more
accessible method of entry.
While the Hopkins have few material
possessions, they are richly blessed
with animals. A goat, German shepherd
and alligator find occasional refuge on
the sagging front porch. A newborn kit­ten,
a Pekingese and a cockatiel philo­sophically
called Plato share the rest
of the house.
A snake is believed to inhabit the
long-neglected kitchen cabinets, but this
unsettling fact has little effect on the
two zoology majors, who often comb the
forests in search of "crawly creatures."
If detected again, the animal will probab­ly
join the collection at the herpetology
department where John works part-time.
Asked if she would go to work, Linda
replied that she will work full time next
quarter and take only five hours in
school. "But my most important job now
is to bolster John and feed him well so
he can concentrate on the 21 hours he is
taking this quarter and keep his job too."
In spite of overwhelming odds, the en­thusiastic
couple does not foresee money
as a major problem; John has an income
of about $120 a month.
Seff-refance nothing new
" I t s not as if being self reliant were
new to us," said 20-year old John. "Linda
and I have been paying for our educa­tions
all along." Linda sold some of her
cattle on her parents' ranch in New Mex­ico
to pay for her tuition, and John works
summers to pay for his.
The couple figure they can live on
$25 a week if they are very careful with
their money. "Since we don't have to wor­ry
about rent, this amount includes elec­tricity,
gasoline, food, car insurance and
incidentals."
John stocked up on meats before they
married. They* have stored enough in their
neighbors' freezer to last, hopefully,
through this school year.
The couple says their biggest problem
will be finding time to relax from school
pressures. "John starts studying right
after we get home every afternoon while
I cook dinner," said Linda. "We rest
about 30 minutes after dinner, and then
we both study from 8 until 11. We spend
most of our week-ends studying too."
John and Linda Hopkins are by no
means typical married students. It would
be impossible to find a representative
example. But if there is a common denom­inator
for their diversified number, it is
a refusal to be dismayed by their prob­lems
and an ability to meet and minimize
them as they arise.
The Hopkins' close friends and neigh­bors,
the VanHartesveldts enjoy a bit
more prosperity but face a different dil­emma.
Housing no problem
Adequate housing is no problem for
them. When Mary Ann's parents moved to
Atlanta, Ga., from Opelika they lent the
couple their house, completely furnished,
for as long as they needed it.
"We'll definitely be here tomorrow,
and probably Monday," said Fred, "but
beyond that I'm not sure."
Fred's reluctance to view the future
with any degree of certainty is due to his
tense relationship with the Army. Having
a 1-A classification, the ,23-year-old
graduate student in history could receive
his orders to report for duty at any time.
"My idea of entertainment this quarter
is plenty of food and sleep," said Mary
Ann, also a history major. She has a
part-time job at the library to help out
with expenses. Her parents pay for her
tuition, and Fred is on a personal loan.
Many couples borrow money to put
themselves through school. Lee and
Sherry Lamb are both going to school on
government loans.
Lee, a senior in industrial engineering,,
works for Anders Book Store. His wife
Sherry, a sophomore in secretarial admin­istration,
plans to get a job during spring
and summer quarters.
Ever since they met a year ago, they
knew they would get married someday.
"Before I met Sherry, a freshman then, I
was looking forward to bachelorhood with
my new apartment and new car," .said
21-year-old Lee.
"And I was looking forward to finish­ing
two years of school and becoming an
airline stewardess," said 19-year-old
Sherry with equal conviction.
But both are delighted with the way
things have turned out. "I don't think we
will have any study problems," said Lee.
"We both have seven o'clock classes
which means we have to get our studying
done early in the evenings. Now that I
have more time for study instead of court­ship,
that shouldn't be a problem."
Newlyweds Robert and Carol Emerson
may not be together this year. Unless
Carol can find a job right away, she will
have to go home to Birmingham to work,
and see her husband only on weekends.
"I have already applied with the Uni­versity,"
said the 19-year-old bride.
"They have only had two openings for
key punch operators since June, but I'm
willing to take another job if necessary."
"We would really hate to give up our
apartment now," said Robert, a junior in
civil engineering. "I had to get up at 4
a.m. one morning last April and stand
47th in line to get it." The couple rents
a $66-a-month one-bedroom apartment in
the university-owned housing complex.
"We think we can get by on about $240
a month with Carol working," said Robert.
This does not include tuition, which his
mother pays. Robert works four hours a
day for the engineering department, but
only makes $1.50 an hour.
Some special difficulties
Every married couple at Auburn faces
special problems. Tong Chi Lin, a doctor
of veterinary medicine from Hong Kong,
has experienced most of those familiar
to foreign students.
Lin, a veterinarian for 12 years, en­rolled
at Auburn last December to work
on his doctorate in poultry science.
"Since my wife cannot speak or under­stand
English well, we must live close
to the campus, the kindergarten, the gro­cery
store, the laundry and the church,"
said the Protestant-born Lin.
The Lin family moved several times
before finding a suitable location in the
city. Even now, the airy, high-ceilinged
frame efficiency on East Thach is too
small with a five-year-old daughter.
Since there are only four or five nursery
schools in the Auburn area, student par­ents
with pre-school age children face
the problem of where to send their young­sters
during the day.
The Drew Lamberts have solved their
own problems and at the same time helped
other students by opening a nursery school
in their home.
The Lamberts have one of the few li­censed
nurseries in the Auburn area.
When Drew is not studying chemistry, he
helps his wife Marilyn run the school. The
Lamberts have nine youngsters enrolled,
including their own three children. They
charge $15 a week per child, and all the
children's parents are students.
But people like this enterprising couple
cannot begin to meet the needs of Au­burn's
married students.
Plans for a day care center which
would help meet the needs of student
parents are being considered by the
School of Home Economics.
The child study center, under the direc­tion
of the department of family life, is
currently the only establishment for pre­school
children on campus and can only
accommodate 50 to 60 children each
quarter. Few students are able to enroll
their children due to a long waiting list.
"If parents would express their desire
for a day care center our chances of ac­quiring
the necessary money to build it
would be very good," said Dr. Ann Bar­ton,
associate professor of the department
of family life .
Couples view money
as major problem
KATIE JONES
Married students make up over 20 per cent of the Au­burn
student body. •
Last year 2,675 of the 13,236 students enrolled were
married, and over 3,000 are expected this year.
Yet very little is known about this group of people who
lead many-sided existences, caught up between the re­sponsibilities
of a family and the pressures of academic
life.;
Who are they? What are they like? How does marriage
affect their academic life and vice-versa? What are their
problems, and how do they cope with them? You won't
find the answers to these questions filed neatly away in
some drawer because no one has bothered to find out
about them lately..
Married students defy easy classification. They may
be beginning freshmen, dependent upon their parents for
financial support. They may be full-time employees and
part-time students, or part-time employees and full-time
students. They may be parents. They may be husbands
with wives who are also in school, or wives who work to
put them through school. They may be graduate students
with assistant ships or undergraduates with scholarships,
loans or other means of support available to them.
Survey made in V966
The only systematic undertaking to define the married
student body was a survey made in 1966. The purpose of
the survey was to establish the monthly living expenses
of married couples according to classification and age
of husband, • size of family and total income.
But whatever their description, they are beset with
equally diverse problems, most of which stem from a lack
of money. In 1966 the average monthly living costs foi"
undergraduate couples between 20 and 25 years old, with
no children, was $237. This figure did not include tuition
and books. Since then tuition has risen from $100 to $120
a quarter for in-state students and from $200 to $240 for
out-of-state students.
Most of the couples who responded to the 1966 survey
reported incomes of more than $8,000 a year. The current
average expenses for tuition, books, room and board for
one student is about $1,500 for three quarters. For
married couples where both mates attend school, this
doesn't leave much for incidentals.
Scant budgets f jobs
In spite of constant complaints about high living costs,
most married students manage to slide by on scant bud­gets
with after-school jobs as dishwashers, cooks, stock
boys, cashiers, sales clerks, typists and lab assistants.
Students who find they have neither the time, the
skills nor the job opportunities to support themselves
often seek help from lending institutions.'
The Credit Union would not reveal how many married
students are members, but said the only restriction placed
on borrowers was that they be employed by the univer­sity.
;
"For students whose wives work full time for the
University, our services can be very beneficial," said
Mrs. J.B. Ranney, treasurer, "But for graduate students
and other part-time employees, we must require some sort
of security-a car, for instance.'''
"Before we lend money to any married student, we
check their budget to be sure we are actually doing them
a service," said Mrs. Ranney. "There is no point in
giving a couple another bill to pay each month unless we
can consolidate their bills. Many times students who
apply for loans already have more money going out each

Working wives face task of 'putting hubby through'
MRS. JOYCE BEDSOLE AT WORK
Job at Auburn bank "puts hubby thru"
By KATIE JONES
For the wife charged with
the Herculean task of "put­ting
hubby through," the
simple joys of maidenhood
may become exaggerated in
retrospect.
When she is spending her
few non-working hours in
solitary confinement or
gazing at reruns of old
movies while her husband
studies, "matrimonial bliss-"
may seem like juvenile
fancy.
Wives of students make
up almost 90 per cent of
Auburn's non-academic labor
force. Out of 872 women
interviewed by the university
personnel office last year,
785 of them, mostly wives,
were referred to various de­partments
fa employment.
John Ball, director of non-academic
personnel, has
the job of filling almost 85U
jobs ranging from clerk to
lab technician about every
two years.
"We have a large turn­over,"
said Ball, who is
constantly beseiged by phone
calls from department heads
seeking job applicants and
by applicants seeking open­ings.
"Student wives get
pregnant, their husbands
graduate, flunk out, dropout
or they transfer to other
schools."
The average wage for
non-academic clerical em­ployees
is currently $1.50
to $1.80 an hour for women
with the basic qualifications
for positions as clerks,
typists and stenographers.
Depending upon experience
and training, beginning
salaries can go as high as
$2.50 an hour for secretaries
and lab technicians.;
"We can't compete with
private industry salary-wise,"
said Ball, "but we
are competitive with wage
scales in the city of Au­burn."
When Shirley Hornfeck
applied for a job at the per­sonnel
office last November,
she was offered a job as
VariTypist for The Plains­man
at $1.55 at hour, quite
a drop from the $2.12 an
hour she was making in her
civil service job at Maxwell
Air Force Base where she
worked for three months.
A promotion to secretary
a few months ago raised
Shirley's salary to
