Athletic office,
Busta disagree
on IFC ticket list
By BOB PAYNE
Why were three fraternities whose members include
the four officers of the Interfraternity Council moved
out of order to the top of the priority list for fraternity
seating at football games?
IFC President Joe Busta
said, "I thought I was draw­ing
up a time list for fra­ternities
to purchase foot­ball
tickets. I put the IFC
officers' fraternities on the
top of the list because I felt
they deserved consideration
for the work the officers have
done."
A spokesman for the Ath­letic
Department said, "We
asked that the IFC submit a
priority list for fraternity
seating at football games.
The ticket office then sets
up the time schedule for fra­ternities
to buy tickets."
Last week Busta said a
rotation system was used to
determine fraternity block
seating for football games.
"I take the bottom frater­nities
from the previous year's
list and move them to the
top," he said. "The rest of
the fraternities move down the
list."
If this procedure had been
followed, Sigma Nu, Kappa
Alpha and Delta Chi would
have ranked 26th, 14th and
21st, respectively instead of
first, second and third. Busta
and IFC treasurer John Irvine
are Delta Chi's, Vice-president
Jerry Miller is a member of
Kappa Alpha and Secretary
Wood Parker is a member of
Sigma Nu. Busta said that
he was the only IFC officer
who had anything to do with
the list.
The rest of the priority list
was completely reversed from
last year's list. Busta attri­buted
this to a secretarial
error. "Heft instructions with
the IFC secretaries for rota­ting
the fraternity ticket list.
Apparently there was some
mix-up over these instruc­tions.'''
According to Bill Beckwith,
athletic department ticket
manager, "The fraternity
ranking on the priority list
would definitely make a
difference as to who got the
better seats." Seven frater­nities
and the Pershing
Rifles were assigned seats in
the wooden stands in the
north end zone for the Home­coming
game tomorrow.
In an interview this week
Busta said apparently no
pattern had been followed in
the past to set priorities for
fraternity seating. "IFC re­cords
are incomplete on past
priority lists. From the lists
available, I can't tell that
any rotating system was
used," said Busta.

Nixon wins
straw poll
Republican presidential hopeful Richard Nixon out­distanced
American Independent Party candidate George
Wallace and Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey in a
student straw poll yesterday.
Nixon, the national front
runner in most surveys,
captured 2,490 votes to
2,125 votes for Wallace and
only 310 votes for Humphrey.
The vote was taken in con­junction
with Homecoming
elections.
Nixon outpolled the com­bined
total of Wallace and
Humphrey votes, 2,490 to
2,435. Nixon received 50.6
per cent of the votes cast;
Wallace polled 43.2 per cent,
and Humphrey polled 6.2 per
cent.
In the CHOICE '68 student
election held at Auburn last
spring, Nixon polled 1,107
votes for a commanding lead
over former Alabama Gover­nor
Wallace who received 785
votes. Humphrey polled only
eight write-in votes out of
3,785 votes cast. However,
his name did not appear on
the ballot, because his formal
decision to seek office came

Constitutional amendments
approved in record student vote
By COLLEEN PIPPIN
The waiting is finally over for Marilyn Martin.
Auburn's new Miss Homecoming can at last sigh a
welcome breath of relief.
"I'm happy but more than that I am proud, prouder
than any words could pos­sibly
describe."
The brown-eyed brunette,
who captured 1,691 votes
to win over five other cand­idates,
feels that Miss
Homecoming should be a girl
who totally represents the
Auburn Spirit and one who
understands the seriousness
of the honor the student body
has bestowed on her. She
added that Miss Homecoming
must remember to be aware
of the title she carries and
to always act appropriately.
Marilyn won over Lyn
Mobley with 977 votes; Gail
O'Bryan 777 votes; Mary Jo
Cochenour 678 votes; Janice
Henderson 574 votes and
Beverly Golson with 434
votes.
SWEEPING VICTORY
Also sweeping to victory
with Marilyn was the approval
of the seven proposed con­stitutional
amendments.
A native of Birmingham,
Marilyn is a cheerleader who
was sponsored by Alpha
OmicronPi. A member of Angel
Flight, her other honors in­clude
Miss "A" Day, first
runner-up to Greek Goddess
and "Loveliest of the Plains."
Campaigning was a big
morale builder for Marilyn.
The soft-spoken new Miss
Homecoming said, "I usually
don't like to speak to a large
group of people, but everyone
was so warm and friendly that
I found myself enjoying it
very much. I went to so many
places I had never been be­fore
and had the opportunity
to meet all types of people.I
guess my main concern was
that those who looked back
at me from the crowd weren't
thinking that I was nsincere.
Insincerity is one thing I dis­like.
POSTERS DISAPPEARED
"There was a problem with
campaign posters disappear­ing,
but this was all in fun.
Even though there was little
time for study I wouldn't
have traded the experience
of campaigning for anything."
A senior in business edu­cation,
Marilyn plans to work
as a customer service repre­sentative
in public relations
following her graduation.
The biggest honor i n being
Miss Homecoming for Marilyn
is that she was elected by
the student body.
THANK YOU
"Just saying 'thank you' to
everyone doesn't seem enough.
I owe Auburn so much because
this is where I have developed
academically and socially. I
can't think of anything that I
would take more honor in
doing than to represent the
fabulous Auburn Spirit in the
very best way that I can."
Miss Homecoming and her
court will be presented at
halftime in tomorrow's game
with Miami.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
Other Homecoming festi­vities
include the "Maul
Miami" pep rally honoring
Coach Ralph 'Shug' Jordan
at 7:45 p.m.
The 'Drifters' will perform
for an all-campus dance after
the pep rally in the Student

Supporting beam breaks
during theatre reahearsal
The ceiling of the Uni­versity
Theatre started to
fall last Sunday when one
of two large supporting
beams which run the entire
length of the building broke
completely in half during a
rehearsal.
Although the two four by
four upright posts installed
by Buildings and Grounds
as a stop-gap measure to
prop up the sagging beams
make it difficult for the
audience to see, the building
was declared safe by Lin-wood
Funchess, director of
Building and Grounds. The
current showing of "A Funny
Thing Happened on the Way
to the Forum" is continuing.
"Those rough lumber posts
obstructing our audiences'
views are symbolic of the
University's gross neglect in
the area of Fine Arts," said
Dr. Kenneth Campbell, drama
department head. "Auburn is
still a polytechnic institute
and will continue to be until
the proper attention i s given
to its cultural side.
"We put up the posts only
as an interim measure until
the performing season is over.
Then we can go into the at­tic
to reinforce the roof trus­ses
above the ceiling area."
said Funchess. "The ceiling
is not likely to fall unless
the weight of several people
is concentrated in one spot
in the attic."
"Although the attic was
not designed for storage we
have no other choice," said
J. Ramsey Gibson, drama de­partment
technical director.
We have to store equipment
and other production gear
in the attic." Several hun­dred
pounds of lighting equip­ment
and other production
gear are suspended from the
ceiling fixtures.
The building is just not a
theatre," said Campbell, "it
is a classroom, a laboratory,
a workshop and an education­al
facility where the arts of
theatre are taught."
Campbell said a new theatre

An Auburn student receives a flu-vaccine shot from
Drake Infirmary nurse, Mrs. Mary Sellers. Flu shots are
now available at the infirmary from 8 to 12 a.m. Monday
through Friday and from 1 to 4 p.m. Although the vac­cine
takes eight weeks to build up complete immunity it
has been proven to be about 80 per cent effective. This
multi-purpose vaccine which guards against the four
known strains of influenza is recommended by the Com­mittee
on S tudent Health.
Proposed Squor store
causes controversy *
Auburn as the possible site of a state liquor store has
created controversy this week between the new City
Council president and the mayor.
Mayor James K. flaygood's leading a local delegation
to Montgomery last week to
seek Gov. Albert Brewer's
help in having the Alco­holic
Beverage Control
Board locate a store here
drew fire from Council Pre­sident
Dan W. Hollis. The
mayor's meeting with Gover­nor
Brewer was first reported
in a listing of the Governor's
appointments in Monday's
Opelika Daily News.
Hollis said he is "totally
and irrevocably opposed" to
the idea of a state liquor
store in Auburn and intends
"to oppose this in any and
every way possible." He also
expressed "regret" that Hay-good
had not advised the City
Council of his trip to the
Capitol.
Haygood, who favors the
ABC store because of the
increased revenue it would
bring for the city, said, "The
Governor stated that he would
want to discuss the matter

In Student Ac
Fuller to speak Monday
R. Buckminster Fuller,
scientist, mathematician,
writer, philosopher, invent­or
and lecturer, will speak
here Oct. 29-30 and meet
with faculty and students
in several seminars.
Fuller's address will begin
at 8 p.m. Oct. 30 in the Stu­dent
Ac Building. His visit
launches The Franklin Lec­tures
in Science and Human­ities
at Auburn, supported by
The John and Mary Franklin
Foundation of Atlanta, Ga.
Fuller has been described
by Saturday Review as "one
of the most extraordinary
Americans of our era." He
first gained prominence in
1927 with the invention of
the Dymaxion House, a spa­cious,
low-cost, high-strength
dwelling suspended from a
central mast.
In the 1930's he introduced
the three- wheeled Dymaxion
car, which had a top speed of
120 miles per hour, went 40
miles on a gallon of gasoline,
and could turn in its own
length.
Fuller's geodesic dome has
been said to cover more square
feet of earth than any other
single kind of shelter. Used
for military purposes, indus­try
and expositions, one of
the more classic examples
was the U.S. Pavilion at Expo
'67. The dome's design, a
self-supporting bubble, is
based on Fuller's mathemati­cal
formula which he calls

Trailing Nixon and Wallace
in the spring poll were, in
order, the late Sen. Robert

-Eugene McCarthy, California
Gov. • Ronald Reagan, New
York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller,
Pres. Lyndon Johnson and
Oregon Sen. Mark Hatfield.
Nixon also received the
largest number of votes for
second and third Presidential
choice at that time.
"I feel our majority victory
on the Auburn campus is an
indication of a new South
which will be a Republican

-chairman of the Young Re­publicans.
"I expected a
Nixon victory, and I feel that
it solidifies our support ex­hibited
in the presidential
straw poll held on campus
last spring."
' 'Auburn students sup­ported
Jim Martin over Lister
Hill in 1962, Goldwater over
Johnson in 1964, and Martin
over Wallace in 1966," Bean
said. "These facts, • along
with our latest straw poll
victory, indicate the popular­ity
and growth of the Re­publican
Party in this area
and in the South."
•*I feel the popular showing
of both Nixon and Wallace
indicates the strength of the
platform on which Wallace is
running," said Jack Tatum,
chairman of the Lee County
Wallace for President organ­ization.
"Nixon has taken up
most of the points which
Wallace started out with. I
feel the people will realize
George Wallace is the only
man free from national party
affiliation who will be able
to carry out this platform de­vised
by him.';'
"Of course, we were ex­tremely
disappointed in the
results of the poll," said
Drexel Meadors, chairman of
the Young Democrats. ^'How­ever,
I don't feel that this

Although Fuller's accom­plishments
have been record­ed
regularly for over 40 years,
the scope and thrust of his
work has fully captured the
American imagination only
within the last decade.
He has predicted that his
design-science revolution,
"doing more with less" and
focusing on the reforming of
man's physical environment,
will receive universal indus­trial
attention in the late
1970's.
Fuller's formal education
ended at the freshman level.
Fuller, 73 years old, holds 15
honorary degrees from col­leges

the continent and has
earned numerous honors and
membership in professional

He has been the subject of

and a half million dollars,
and although future plans
call for a new seven million
dollar Fine Arts Center, no
funds have been allocated
thus far.
The drama department cur­rently
operates out of three
separate buildings: an office
located in the Music Annex,
a workshop located in the
old machine shop next to
Langdon Hall and the theatre
itself.
The Theatre at the corner
of College and West Thach
was built 118 years ago and
is the oldest University-owned
building in Auburn.
Plantation slaves locked the
beams into place with wooden
pegs. First used as a Pres­byterian
church, the building
became a hospital during the
Civil War. It was purchased
by the University in 1900 and
later served as a YMCA and
headquarters for various
civic groups.; The building
was first used as a theatre
in 1926.
"I recommend the building
be returned to the Presbyter­ians,
restored to its original
character and used as a
museum or a place of medita­tion,"
said Campbell. "We
need our own facilities to
serve our unique require­ments."
The accident Sunday is
not the first near-disaster
that has occurred in that
timeworn structure. "I once
fell through a catwalk when I
was replacing a light bulb,"
said Davis Barron, techni­cal
assistant, "but I managed
to catch hold of something
before falling to the floor
below." The building, which
was last inspected in June,
has been patched in numerous
places to make it safe and
usable as a theatre.

any further action being taken
and stated that a resolution
of the existing Council would

time.
Haygood said that due to
the controversial nature of
the issue, he felt it would be
best "to approach the matter
from the top" to see if the
possibility of locating a store
in Auburn existed before
bringing the matter before the
City Council..;
Haygood referred to the
adoption, after much heated
debate by Auburn's former
City Council Nov. 15, 1966,
of a resolution encouraging
the ABC Board to locate a
store in Auburn. It was later
learned that the Board and
the Governor would place the
store in Opelika.
Hollis stated that he has
asked Rep. Pete Turnham to
seek an audience with Gover­nor
Brewer to protest Hay-good's
move. Other council-men
have expressed a similar
interest in protesting of the
action, according to Hollis.
Opelika is the site of two
stores-one barely over the
common Auburn-Opelika
boundary. Last year Opelika
received approximately S31,
000 from the ABC system
and Auburn got around
$14,000.

Two city residents arrested
on marijuana charges
Friday, October 27, 1968 3-THE PLAINSMAN
By JAMES THORNTON
Auburn resident, Gordon
Collins, 22, arrested Oct.
16 on charges of selling
and possessing marijuana,
has been released on $2,000
bond from the Lee County;
jail, according to Lee County1
Sheriff Paul Ra^sdale.
William Mason Buchanan,
23, also arrested with Col­lins,
is still in custody pend­ing
posting of bond, said
Sheriff Ragsdale.
Bond was set at $2,000 for
each man Thursday, Oct. 17.
Both live at 245 E. Glenn
Ave., site of the arrest.
"There have been no new
developments in the case al­though
investigations are con­tinuing,"
stated Sheriff Rag­sdale.
Both cases are due to
come before the Lee County
Grand Jury during the week
beginning Nov. 4, according
to district attorney G. H.

The two men were arrested

by state, local and
Group protests war
in Ross Square vigil
By MARGARET HESTER
A group of students, faculty and clergy united Tuesday
in Ross Square for Auburn's role in a nationwide ob­servance
of a Vigil-for-Peace.
With heads bowed, they silently stood in a circle around
an American flag, "because about war in general," said
of the actions that this
flag is called to justify in
an undeclared war," ac­cording
to leaflets distri­buted
to students.
The leaflets stated:' 'We
love our country and honor
her ideals, but we stand with
heads bowed because of the
actions that this flag is called
to justify in an undeclared
war. We stand because of
Vietnam."
Plans for the Vigil and
content of the leaflet had
received Administration ap­proval.
"We did get Adminis­tration
approval, and they
were very cooperative," said
Sara Goodwin, 4SY, a par­ticipant
in the Vigil. "They
suggested that we not block
traffic through Ross Square,
litter the campus with leaf­lets
or tack them to trees. A
trashcan was available in an
effort to prevent any sort of
litter," she said,
i Although there was some'
dissent on the part 'of' stu-"
dents watching .the Vigil, it
went off in a smooth and or­derly
fashion.
"I thought the Vigil was
carried out in a very digni­fied
manner," said Herbert
White, director of University
Relations.
Student Body President,
Jimmy Bryan, said, "I am
glad that some people are
getting concerned with some­thing
besides where they are
sitting at the football games.
I would like to commend the
people for the orderly way
in which they conducted
themselves."
"The people participating
were not anti-Vietnam or
anti-government, but merely
expressing their feelings
The Rev. J.P. Woodson, rec
tor of the Holy Trinity Epis­copal
Church.
'I admire the individuals
who participated for their
courage in demonstrating for
what they believe in," said
Phillip Wallace, Student
Body vice-president. "I
think the fact something of
this sort took place is a wel­come
indication that a few
students at Auburn are begin­ning
to do what a University
should encourage, that is, to
think for themselves and
then put their thoughts into
taction." ^_
federal authorities.
The largest cache of mari-j
juana and drugs ever uncov-;
ered in Lee County were also
confiscated.
Buchanan and Collins were
arrested as they attempted to
sell a large quantity of marl
juana to a State Health De­partment
narcotic agent and to
an agent of the Federal Bureau
of Narcotics and Dangerous
Drugs.
According to authorities,
around five pounds of mari­juana,
marijuana seed and
several dozen STP tablets
were seized.
No complete report on the
type of all the confiscated
drugs and marijuana has been
made thus far, said a spokes­man
of the state toxicology
laboratory here.
The two men were also
arrested July 21 in Arizona
and charged with smuggling
marijuana from Mexico after
authorities found seven and a
half pounds of marijuana
hidden in their automobile.
The cases are pending.
Authorities said that neither
man is a student at Auburn, but
that Buchanan was a visual
design student last year. The
University refused their ad
mission this fall after the
Arizona incident, according
to local police.
Under state law the illegal
sale or possession of mari­juana,
STP and LSD carries
a penalty from five to 20 years
for each count.
The normal wholesale price
of STP tablets is $6 each,

Role of the press and the politician
Abraham Lincoln once described
|he United States government as a
"government of the people, by the
people, and for the people." Our
governmental system is designed for
participation and debate by the general
public not just the politicians. Hope­fully
Auburn Mayor James Haygood
will realize this fact.
The liquor store controversy which
has plagued Auburn city government
for some years was renewed this week
when several city councilmen and
some local businessmen accompanied
'Mayor Haygood on an unannounced
visit to the Capitol and conferred
with Gov. Albert Brewer on the pos­sibility
of locating a state liquor store
within the Auburn city limits. City
Council President Dan Hollis, < an
opponent of the liquor store., has
vigorously protested the secrecy
which surrounded the trip. (See story
page one.)
The Plainsman, at this time, will
not debate the merits of the proposed
liquor store for Auburn. It is
primarily concerned about the apparent
attitude of the Mayor. In a statement
explaining his actions, the mayor said
that public policy and public business
"are best conducted and debated in
legislative councils and not in the
news media." He also said he did
not want "to inject controversial
subjects into community discussion."
The purpose of the news media,
including the press, is to keep the
public informed. If Mayor Haygood
does not want the news media to per­form
its task, he apparently does not
want the public to be informed on
issues that affect them.
Cooperation and a successful vigil
An Auburn myth was erased Tues­day
when about 25 Auburn students
held an hour peace vigil in Ross
Square. Some students expected the
administration to clamp down on the
students, especially since a group of
state legislators were on campus, but
the expectation was unfounded.
Rev. Tommy Hess, Wesley Founda­tion
director, who was more instru­mental
in organizing the peace vigil
than he would like to admit, has ex­pressed
satisfaction with the admin­istration's
cooperation with students
who were arranging the vigil.
President Philpott has said many
times that there would be no abridge­ment
of freedom of expression in an
orderly fashion.
Continued cooperation and respon­sible
action by both administrators
and students will aid a progressive
Auburn.
Coach Jordan and homecoming
His bright orange sweater seemed
to hang around his shoulders. His
sunburned face seemed haggard and
tired as he slowly finished a soft
drink.
This is Ralph Jordan in defeat, but
Auburn partisans haven't seen that
face often since Coach Jordan returned
to his alma mater in 1951. More often-including
15 straight homecomings-they
have seen a smiling Jordan on
the shoulders of blue-clad Tigers
riding toward the center of a football
field to meet the coach of a vanquished
foe.
Auburn has, by no means, won all
of its games, but the Tigers have
been competitive. Auburn has realized
the most successful seasons in the
school's athletic history, including a
national championship, and two un­beaten
seasons. His record, 116-59-5,
speaks for itself. This is one of the
most outstanding records in the nation
for an active coach.
Tomorrow's homecoming game with
Miami constitutes a challenge to the
Auburn football team and Coach Jor­dan.
Ole grads returning to Auburn
for the weekend set aside for remem­bering
will recall the seasons just
prior to the Jordan era. In those days,
Saturday and Auburn football were
synonymous with losing.
There will be a special pep rally
tonight honoring Coach Ralph Jordan.
He deserves a great reception. He's
done great things for Auburn and
Auburn football.
The real winners
Delta Tau Delta probably will not
win first place in the homecoming
decoration contest, but the fraternity
will be reaping benefit from its home­coming
commemoration long after the
papier-mache Tigers and Hurricanes
have faded into obscurity.
Instead of spending several hun­dred
dollars on decorations, the Delts
are donating $500 to the Bryce-Part-low
hospital chapel fund.
Other groups will get the trophies
and homecoming recognition, but
Delta Tau Delta will receive the
deep satisfaction which is the reward
for extending a helping hand. They
will be the real winners of Home­coming,
1968. (See story page 3.)
Honoraries: not all inclusive
The purpose and selection of hon­oraries
is somewhat nebulous. Out­standing
students are supposedly hon­ored,
but the criteria for an outstand­ing
student,varies. Certain activities
and personal contacts influence each
selection. Despite attempts to keep
personality out of selections, there
are oversights, mistakes and preju­dice.
There are names noticably missing,
from the list of Auburn's Who's Who
announced on page 1. This will
probably be true for most of the honor­aries
announced this year.
Honoraries give due recognition to
some students who contribute to a
better Auburn, but because there are
omissions, honoraries should be recog­nized
for what they are: groups that
include some of the outstanding, but
not all of the outstanding.
km Dixon*..
Gift of prophecy,
or lucky guesses?
By David House/
To believe or not to believe. That's the
question about Jean Dixon.
The most famous prognosticate of our time, Mrs. Dixon
gained national attention when it was learned she had pre­dicted
the assassinations of Pres. John F. Kennedy and Sen.
Robert F. Kennedy. fame? Maybe so, but they
According to Mrs. Dixon, were not made public until
who makes her predictions
after interpreting visions she
has seen, she tried to warn
President Kennedy not to go
to Dallas. Prior to Senator
Kennedy's assassination,
she walked through the Los
Angeles hotel kitchen where
he was shot and said, "This
is the spot." She was stand­ing
on the exact spot where
the senator would be when
Sirhan Sirhan fired the fatal
shot.
She had known about the
assassinations because of
dark clouds hovering over the
White House prior to the Pre­sident's
trip to Dallas and
another vision showing bright
flashing lights and loud
noises around the Senator's
head. Yet she could not make
these predictions public be­cause
of the uproar they would
cause. She waited until after
the murders to make the infor­mation
public and claim cre­dit
for powers to predict the
future.
Her announced predictions
are usually vague and rather
obvious. In Sunday's Birming­ham
News, Mrs. Dixon pre­dicted
that George Wallace's
life was in danger and cau­tioned
that he should be pro­tected.
She also predicted
that the Supreme Court is
shifting toward conservatism,
continued trouble in Vietnam,
and a possible shift in Soviet
leadership.
All these predictions could
have been made by any rea­sonably
intelligent person
who had read the last two
week's daily newspaper and
listened to news reports.
Mrs. Dixon has said that
1968 is a Republican year
and predicted Richard Nixon
will be the next president.
But if Hubert Humphrey should
pull a dramatic upset/ she
could amend her prediction
as she did in I960 when her
choice, Nixon, was beaten
by Kennedy. "I picked Nixon
in I960 and he would have
won except a small group
of i n f l u e n t i a l men in
the Midwest took the Pre­sidency
away from him," she
said. She must have read
numerous news reports and
statements from Nixon him­self
which asserted there
was considerable voting
fraud in Illinois which cost
him enough votes to swing
the election.
But what about her pre­dictions
which have come
true such as the Kennedy
assassinations? Shouldn't
this be a legitimate claim to
after the event had taken
place. And who can argue the
fact that even a stopped
clock is right twice a day?
Using Mrs. Dixon's style
of predictions, many such
safe predictions could be
made about Auburn and the
state of Alabama. How about
these:
George C. Wallace will
carry Alabama in the presi­dential
elections this fall.
He will get a sizeable na­tional
vote, but he will lose
the election.
The Plainsman will con­tinue
to receive condemna­tion
from people whose ac­tions
have been reported
factually. It will be called
"one of those lying news­papers."
AWS and male student
leaders will continue their
feud about women's rules
and skirt lengths. The coeds,
including Dean Cater, will
take the longer view, while
the males will vigorously de­fend
the shorter view. Skirt
lengths will continue to vary.
Michigan State University
officials will be wondering
what kind of student activism
has broken out on campus
when the score of Auburn's
next football victory is an­nounced
and "War Eagle"
is yelled across campus.
They need not be worried
too much. It's only Dean Foy.
About 100 Auburn students
will flunk out this quarter,
and none will admit that lack
of study is the basic reason.
A student senator and an
administrative person in stu­dent
government will wage a
vicious battle within one of
the campus political parties
for the presidential nomina­tion.
The winner will meet
another prominent student
official for the presidency.
The best politician will win.
The forestry plot will con­tinue
to be more popular
than the classroom, but both
will be used more with in­creasing
student enrollment.
The profit Johnston and
Malone will realize from its
latest store additions will
more than offset the addition­al
overhead involved.
A large crowd will attend
the first game in Memorial
Coliseum on Jan 11. The
Sports Arena would not have
held the fans attending the
game to see Pete Marovich
play.
The lathe will not turn
within the next 15 years.
Many Jean Dixon fans, af­ter
reading this column will
be enraged to the point of
writing various letters to
the editor.

A greater need...
Only one 'boycotfer';
Maybe not enough
By Gay Rhodes
A quiet ride through Auburn Wednesday
night revealed a sight that is a fixture
with each Homecoming. Fraternities, with one or two excep­tions,
already had their group of Homecoming exhibit builders
gathered around rolls of chicken wire affixed to supporting
boards in such a manner as to show Auburn's dominance over
the Hurricanes of Miami. The nights for a majority of the
skeletons of the exhibits were
the foundations of the decora­tions
which will be judged
today.
It was a surprise to see
some of the decorations under
construction. Early Wednes­day,
and for a couple of days
previous, word was circula­ting
that there were to be
"decoration boycotts" by
certain fraternities to pro­test
their seating assign­ments
at- the Homecoming
game. The rumors proved to
be false.
Perhaps the groups who
were supposedly involved in
"boycott" felt that their non-participation
would be self
defeating. Would such a boy­cott
really be advantageous?
What would people who rode
by on Friday night and Satur­day
think? Would these ob­servers
damn a group for being
toolazy to build a decoration?
- This year one fraternity may
be recipient of such allega­tions,
although the charges
will not be justified. Instead
of spending their money on an
exhibit this year, Delta Tau
Delta made a contribution
elsewhere. They presented a
$500 check to Coach Ralph
' 'Shug'' Jordan to be forwarded
to the Brice-Partlow Chapel
Fund. Coach Jordan has been
co-chairman of the drive since
its inception two years ago.
The $500 had been ticketed
for a structure with a two or
three day life span, perhaps
winning a prize, perhaps not.
The Brice-Partlow Chapel
will exist for years, will win
no prizes, but will benefit
the state of Alabama immea­surably.
Winning the decorations is
a prestigious part of the home­coming
festivities, so much
so that the efforts to have the
top decoration is sometimes a
brutal process both physically
and financially.
Most exhibits that were
completed today have been.
the efforts of two sleepless
with a night light.

members of the groups who
participated. ;• Staying up all
night to build decorations is
obviously not conducive to
the goal of a student, gaining
an education. This week re­presents
the midquarter mark
and has been filled with
quizzes in addition to pre­parations
for Homecoming.
For many, a low grade at this
point in the quarter means the
difference between passing
or failing a course.
Financially, homecoming
decorations play havoc with
most groups' budgets. The
average cost is a minimum
of about $400, with one group
reportedly spending as much
as $1,200 for their decora­tion
a couple of years ago.
In some cases this money is
derived from assessments to
chapter members. With at
least 27 groups spending an
average of $400, the total
for Homecoming decorations
runs to about $11,000 a year.
A couple of days from now
$11,000 worth of wood,
chicken wire and papier-mache
will be a junk yard.
The $500 from Delta Tau
Delta is only a fraction of
that which has gone i n t o
the decorations, but its con­crete
reward as part of the
Bryce-Partlow Chapel will
long endure.
Building a homecoming
decoration is a wonderful
experience. The efforts are
sometimes rewarded with a
prize, but more often than
not the only reward is a per­sonal
one of knowing you
have done a good job. For
the Alumni there is the
pleasure of returning to "The
Plains" and remembering
how it was when they were
students.
However, there may be
ways to save money and at
the same time present an
exceptional Homecoming
festivity to both Alumni and
students.
Our Spirit Committee could
establish a program similar
to the "Gator Growl," Flor­ida's
homecoming pep rally
where skits are presented
in Florida Field prior to the
homecoming game. Crowds
for the Gator Growl often
times are as high as 35,000-
40,000. With a minimum
charge of 50 cents per per­son
and the crowds on the
level of 20,000 at Auburn,
the Spirit Committee could
pay all expenses of the
production and still have
ample funds to disperse to
organizations such as the
Bryce-Partlow Chapel or
4he Buddy Rutledge Diabetes
Room in Birmingham.
To give up decorations at
Homecoming would be an
immense change, but if some­thing
were developed to re­place
the decorations along
the lines of the "Gator
Growl," it would represent
a saving of all-night stands
and about $11,000 a year to
students.
A question for the future
may be to build or not to
build?

A ^ P L cent probably

A * * • inkling of
^ ofl I problem.
• ^ ^ m " ^ ^ ™ When this
column first
began to materialize Thurs­day
its objective was to
blast the ticket administra­tors
for mismanagement of
student ticket distribution.
But this has not been the
case; the ticket administra­tors
have done a reasonable
job of surmounting an unbe­lievable
obstacle.
Cliff Hare Stadium present­ly
seats about 42,400 people.
The student body is current­ly
14,000 strong, more than
double the enrollment of 15
years ago and all 14,000 are
eligible to buy one ticket for
one dollar. Faculty members,
3,700 of them, are also allowed
to purchase tickets at a re­duced
rate of one-half the
regular price. According to
athletic department figures,
77 per cent of the student
body and over 50 per cent of
the faculty will attend a cam­pus
game.
A few calculations based
on these figures reveal that
over 30 percent of the people
a t t e n d i n g a home game
do so on reduced price tic­kets.
In order for Auburn to
schedule a major football
team such as Georgia or
Miami the athletic depart­ment
must guarantee them
7,000 tickets, not to mention
a 50-50 split of the net in­come
for the game.
Now this leaves 21,000
tickets for over 51,000 alumni;
But this isn't quite accurate
either. Out of this remaining
21,000 tickets around 2,000
have to be made available
to the football team, to the
mass media, etc.
In four years Auburn will
have an enrollment of 17,000
plus a projected enrollment
of 5,000 at the Montgomery
Branch, and the faculty will
increase proportionately.
This means that for the 1972
Homecoming game 47 per cent
of the seats in Cliff Hare
will be occupied by reduced
ticket purchasers. After
taking out the 7,000 tickets
which go to the opponent's
supporters, Auburn alumni
will be left fighting with all
those other football fans for
the remaining 15,500 tic­kets.
Now the real trump card is
played. Auburn's football
team supports the whole
athletic program. And de­spite
a growth in football
game attendence the total
revenue continues to shrink
since more and more tickets
are sold at a reduced rate.
And, not only is the ath­letic
department faced with a
smaller operating budget but
more important, opponents
are becoming less and less
anxious to play here. Why?
Remember that 50-50 split
of the net game income that
is written into the game
contract. Well, the other
team's half is shrinking just
as rapidly as Auburn's.
One solution would be to
enlarge the stadium by dupli­cating
the South End Zone
on the North end. This would
increase the seating capacity
to 54,000 and would meet
ticket demands for the next
six years, if such an enlarge­ment
was feasible.
But there are two major
obstacles to enlarging the
stadium: no money and no
money sources. The athletic
department just does not have
any surplus funds. And, be­cause
of an antiquated state
law Auburn can only borrow
one million dollars for a
stadium; Auburn has already
borrowed this amount.

Letters to the editor
Busta answers Plainsman 'accusations'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I ask that you allow me a
little space to answer the ac­cusations
made against the
IFC last week by your fine
paper.
(1) The IFC was informed
by the Field House that the
IFC should set up a list for
times to buy football tickets
and nothing else. We did not
know that the priority of
blocks was associated with
buying times. The ticket
office did not tell us this,
but said to set up the schedule
any way we wanted to set it
up.
(2) The reversal in order on
the list submitted was a
secretarial error. This list
was delivered to the field
house without the mistake
being noted.
(3) Beckwith states, "All
block groups could be ar­ranged
in the student section
of the east stands if a few
blocks would allow themselves
to be separated only by a con­course
or runway." Therefore,
how is it that not one frater­nity
block is in the e a st
stands for Homecoming? They
are all in the two end zones.
(4) Beckwith states, "The
Student Section extends from
Section 28 on the 45 yard line
into the South end zone.; If
fraternity blocks start in the
end zone for Homecoming this
means that an awful lot of
extra seats were sold between
the end zone and the 45 yard
line before fraternity ticket
sales were even started.
(5) Beckwith states, "The
student section has been the
same since 1945," The size
of the student body has grown
from 6,641 in 1950 to 14,049,
therefore the size of the stu­dent
section should have been
adjusted accordingly.
(6) Max Richburg and Randy
Partin said, quote from The
Plainsman, "they thought a
rotating system was used."

Evidently rotation wasn't
used for 1965 and 1967 be­cause
the same fraternity was
first on both lists. Unfor­tunately
there was nothing in
the back files of the IFC to
indicate what procedure was
used in the past. :
(7) Only one IFC officer
had anything to do with the
fraternity buying schedule.
This was Joe Busta, and the
others should not be connected
at all to this incident.
(8) If I were trying to pull
something over on the frater­nities,
why did I propose to
the IFC President's Com­mission
that they draft a
letter to the editor complain-ing
about fraternity seating
in Cliff Hare Stadium? I also
helped the Chairman of the
President's Commission com­pose
the letter that appeared
in last week's paper. If I had
had any ill intentions in com­piling
the ticket list, I would
not have drawn attention to
the crime and thereby surely
expose myself.
(9) Lastly, I was available
for comment last week, but
those capable Plainsman re­porters
did not ask me for any
comment. They told me to stop
by the Plainsman office some­time,
but refused to give any
reason for this request. Having
better things to do that after­noon,
I attended a meeting in
the Student Affairs Office and
watched over the Wreck Tech
Parade to make sure that it
ran smoothly like last year.
I felt that the duties of my
office were more important
than stopping by for a chat
with the Plainsman. If the
Plainsman had behaved in the
true journalistic tradition,
they would have come to me for
my comment, or would have
told me why they wished me to
come by their office. If such
had been the case, I would
have gladly commented.
This is my rebuttal for last
week's article in The Plains­man.
Now that they have more
of the facts, I ask the Auburn
students to decide for them­selves
instead of letting The
Plainsman decide the issues
for them.
Joseph F. Busta
President, IFC
Ed. note: The Plainsman made
numerous attempts, both by
phone and by dispatching re­porters,
to find Busta for a
statement last week.

and probably to the attention
of every Auburn student and
faculty member that The
Plainsman has begun to glory
in its personal attacks against
the leaders of our student
organizations. ; Last summer,
one of your writers blew up
the remark of an Auburn
senator into a b l i s t e r i ng
editorial which stated, in
essence, that he lacked any
form of scruples and implied
that the student body had
made a gross error in electing
him. The truth is that this
person is very dedicated and
has worked daily to fulfill
not only his promises, but
also those of every elected
official.
Your attack has now turned
to the officers of the Inter-fraternity
Council. What a one­way
broadside! I guess that
is all right, though, since
according to the article, Joe
Busta "could not be reached
for further comment." It is
my understanding that you
called the IFC office and
asked Joe to drop by The
Plainsman, when he had time,
to discuss some issue. You
did not tell him what that
issue was. Is that the way
reporting works? Do you al­ways
call your subjects up
and ask them to drop by, in­stead
of your going to see
them? Somehow, that does
not seem quite right. '
The fact that you did not
get in touch v/ith Joe does
not bother me as much as the
fact that you have wrongly
down-graded one of the finest
members of the student body.
Do you realize the things Joe
Busta has done for frater­nities
and the University as a
whole just this last year?
Did you know, for instance,
that it was under Joe Busta's
leadership that the grade re­quirement
for fraternity initi­ation
was increased from a
1.00 to a 1.20? He was re­sponsible
for the IFC spon­sorship
of the Plainsman De­bate
Tournament, • the IFC
Little League team, as well as
the promotion of the feeding
of indigent children here in
the Auburn-Opelika area. He
also headed Auburn's suc­cessful
Blood Drive last year
and worked all summer on
getting more student member­ship
for the University's Dis­cipline
Committee so as to
guarantee a larger student
voice in discipline cases.
I do not know much about

can tell me: Is it considered

fraternity men answer
Lehman column
Editor, The Plainsman:
As the protesters of the
IFC pledge scholarship rule
mentioned in Joe Lehman's
Plainsman editorial, we feel
we must correct his errors of
fact and defend our much-maligned
motives.
The motion was protested
(last spring, not, as the ar­ticle
said, last week) because
it was brought up as old
business, which it was not.
Admittedly this was a tech­nicality,
but a valid one none­theless.
Although Mr. Lehman stated
his opinion of our motives as
fact (blessed by a Divine
ievelation, no doubt}, we re­main
unconvinced that it was
an attempt to initiate more of
our pledges. (Sorry, Joe, but
our fraternity had raised its
grade point requirement to
1.25 before the motion was
•brought up).
Our attempt to correct the
action taken was largely a
protest against the "railroad"
tactics which were used by
Steve McMillan & Co., who
arrived at the last IFC meet­ing
of the year with this mo­tion
and prepared speeches
supporting it. Their statements
were difficult to rebut on an
impromptu basis, since there
are many who, like Joe Leh­man,
believe that opposition
to a scholarship rule equals
opposition to scholarship. We
opposed attempts by the IFC
to legislate good grades
throughout the year because
we felt this could be better
achieved through action by
individual fraternities.

rule were passed illegally...

Political forecast
given by student
Editor, The Plainsman:
One way to become informed
on the present election is to
listen very carefully to what
the candidates are saying.
This, however, is not enough.
We must also recall past
events-the swept-under-the-carpet
events, the forgotten
and disguised events.
Shortly after the 1960 elec­tion,
the Communist news
media was claiming a portion
of JFK's victory for the Com­munists.
They acknowledged
that the Vice-president, Nix­on,
had been seeking the re­lease
of U-z pilot Gary Powers.
There was no reason to de­lay
Powers' release, except
the Communists realized the
boost Nixon would receive in
his bid for the Presidency if
such a release occurred prior
to the November election.
They held out; Nixon was de­feated;
the Communists
claimed partial credit.
You do not have to be a.
prophet to present a political
forecast for the next three
weeks, only a mediocre stu­dent
of history:
First week: HHH will re­sort
to personality picking
and character assassination.
Second week: Johnson will
sue for a complete bombing
halt in Vietnam, an effort to
bring the McCarthy and'' Peace-nicks"
to Humphrey.
Third Week: Pueblo crew
will be released and a feather
in the cap of HHH.

You'll never get anywhere without it.
Nothing helps a young engineer's
career like being given a challenge.
Which is another way of saying a chance
to fail now and then. To make his own
mistakes.
At Western Electric we give our newly
recruited engineers responsibility almost
immediately. They make their own de­cisions.
Learn from their own errors.
Don't get us wrong. We keep our
demands reasonable enough so that our
recruits can make their decisions at their
own pace. But our thinking is, a man
feels awfully good about even a small
decision when it's his.

Tiger Topics
By Rkhard WMsh
Sports Editor
Man of little faith
I suppose I am a man of little faith.
With less than three minutes to play in last Saturday's
21-20 loss to Georgia Tech in Birmingham, I grabbed my
coat and rushed down 26 rows of seats to Legion Field's
players' gate. The Georgia Tech players' gate.
I wanted to talk to Tech quarterback Larry Good. I'd
decided a minute before that the game was over, that
Tech's one point was as good as 101, that there would
be no joyous shouts of "We Wrecked Tech!" in my senior
year.
Auburn had the ball all of a sudden, but they had it
deep in their own territory, and with less than two min­utes
left in the game.
I messed around on the Legion Field track, trying to
figure out the best place to position myself, so I could
grab Good as he came off the field. He was the story
this day, as far as I was concerned. When I leoked out
on the field, Auburn was inside the Tech 30. Time was
out, with 1:02 showing on the scoreboard clock. One
Legion Field scoreboard showed third down, the other
second. And number nine, Auburn field goal kicker John
Riley, was standing in the Auburn huddle.
Suddenly, I forgot all about Larry Good. I couldn't
figure out why Auburn was kicking on second or third
down, but I did know that I had a new story, and that
Auburn had a chance to win one of the most exciting
rivalries in college football.
Tennessee 10, Alabama 3
A Negro man leaning against the Field's brick front
row said, "Tennessee 10, Alabama three," to no one
in particular. He had a radio up to his ear.
I asked him to repeat the score. He added that Karl
Kremser of Tennessee had kicked a 54-yard field goal.
Fifty-four yards, I thought, a Southeastern Conference
record. And out on the field, John Riley,'in pursuit of
that record ever since he began kicking off over goal
posts last year, was about to attempt a field goal which
meant much more than a broken record.
Watching the Tigers break their huddle. Buddy McClin-ton
kneeling to hold for the kick, my stomach turned
over. I thanked God I was not John Riley at that moment,
with the retreating sun's rays opaquing through the dust
of Legion Field.
Into those rays went the football, wide and to the right.
And I started looking for Larry Good.
Somehow, you just can't blame John Riley for the loss.
You can, I suppose, blame fumbled snaps and inter­ceptions,
a pass defense which just wasn't s t r o ng
enough.
You can second-guess Auburn coach Shug Jordan, who
could have run af4Ieast one ijlore play before kicking. But
when you're 21 years old and your experience coaching
football teams amounts to zero, how do you j u s t i fy
criticizing someone who's been at it successfully for 17
years at Auburn? You don't.
Praise Good
Perhaps the best alternative is to praise Larry Good.
He is a great quarterback.
And, let's face it, we saw a great ball game Saturday.
Auburn had its share of standouts. Tailback Dwight
Hurst on played his finest game, and split end Tim
Christian and tailback Mickey Zofko were excellent on
offense. Linebacker Mike Kolen, tackle Jim Samford and
end Durward Sauls turned in shining defensive perfor­mances.
And yes, John Riley starred also, with two field
goals, one of which went 41 yards into the wind.
So why did we lose? Blame the defeat on the inability
to capitalize on a hatful of Georgia Tech sophomore mis­takes
and a Jacket defense weakened by the loss of Eric
Wilcox and Bill Flowers, its two best linebackers.
Blame it on an Auburn defense which couldn't halt
Good and his receivers, Joel Stevenson, John Sias and
Tim Woodall. But maybe no one could have halted these
people. Not last Saturday, at least.
Looking to the present, you might be inclined to ask,
who will he tell us to blame after the Miami game? Miami
is better all-around than Tech.
There are some people who don't think we'll lose to
Miami.
"We'll beat Miami," said Opelika Daily News sports
editor Roy Riley, during a brief visit to the Plainsman
offices Monday night.
"Why?" said a voice from the corner.
"Because it's homecoming," said Riley with a grin.
"We always win at homecoming."
Roy is almost right. Auburn has lost only one of 16
homecoming games under coach Jordan, 49-34 to Missis­sippi
State in 1952.
It's doubtful that Auburn will impress end Ted Hend-

'Cane warnings posted for Homecoming
By BILL BEEMER
The Auburn Tigers better
be prepared. Hurricane
warnings are posted for
1:3U Saturday afternoon

The storm warnings are
caused, of course, by the
Miami Hurricanes. The Hurri­canes

have no intentions of letting
a band of hungry Tigers spoil

AU frosh clout
Georgia, 40-18
ByKENBAUGHMAN
And MIKE HARTZOG
Auburn's freshman foot­ball
team rebounded from
an earlier loss to Florida,
by. rolling up 469 yards
total offense against
Georgia and defeating the
Bullpups, 40-18, in Cliff Hare
Stadium Monday.
Auburn quarterback Pat
Sullivan spurred the Tiger
Cubs to victory with two touch­down
passes and a pair of
scoring runs.
Georgia scored first on a
46-yard field goal by Roger
Harris, and held the Auburn
offense throughout the first
quarter.
AUBURN ERUPTION
In the second period, Au­burn
erupted for two touch­downs,
the first on a 46-yard
scoring pass from Sullivan to
split end Terry Beasley.
Sullivan scored the second
on a nine-yard sweep which
climaxed a 71-yard drive. The
big yardage gainer on the
march was tailback Paul
Scott's 57-yard ramble.
Georgia wedged a touch­down
in between the Auburn
tallies, scoring in nine plays
after recovering a Cub fumble
on the Auburn 44. The TD
came on a four-yard pass from
Pup quarterback Mike Douglas
to end Rex Putnal.
THIRD QUARTER
Auburn broke up the tight
12-10 contest in the third
quarter. The Cubs marched
77 yards to open the second
half, with quarterback Scottie-;
Elam scoring' on a 19-yard
run.
Sullivan engineered another
scoring drive, this one for
(See page 9)
over two years now, and is
definitely a factor to be r e c k-oned
with.
Unlike the more convention­al
type of hurricane, this
Miami team does not usually
strike fast. They prefer to
gain their yardage primarily
by rushing. Although he is
able to throw well, quarter­back
David Olivo keeps his
troops on the ground much of
the time. He is an able runner
himself, and he has the horses
both in the backfield and the
line to keep the infantry mov­ing
well.
Running backs Vince Opal-sky
and John Acuff gained
more yards between them last
year than any pair in Hurri­cane
history and so far this
year they show no signs of
slowing down. The up front
blocking for these boys will
be as tough as any team the
Tigers will face this year.
The Miami defense will be
tough. Miami has five starters,
including Hendricks, return­ing,
and lettermen that didn't
start last year returning in
almost all positions. Last
year's Hurricane defense gave
up an average of only 14
points per game against some
of the most powerful teams
in the country. This year, the
Miamians held an explosive
Louisiana State team score­less,
beating the until then
undefeated Bayou Bengals,
3U-U.
Miami has also beaten
Northwestern, 28-7; Georgia
Tech, lu-7, and Virginia Tech,
13-8.

Nightmare
in Miami
By LARRY BLAKENEY
Of the Auburn Tigers
I am convinced that this
is the hardest article 111
ever have to write for The
Wainsman, since I had a
major hand in Auburn's
7-U loss to the University
of Miami in Orange Bowl Sta­dium
last year.
I guess I should give my
explanation of the play which
lost the game, since I remem­ber
it so vividly. This column,
by the way, is no alibi.
The whole trip to Miami
was a nightmarish experience
for me. The farther South we
got on the plane, the hotter
it got inside. The weather in
Miami was even hotter, about
80 to 85 degrees, and very
humid. We were very uncom­fortable
the whole time we
were there.
The game was an even more
nightmarish event.
I was sent into the game in
the third quarter. The first
few plays were successful
and we seemed to have drive
going. I called a belly option
to our left side, away from
their big defensive end, all-

the snap of the ball, I turned
to my left to fake the fullback
off tackle. As I turned, their
defensive tackle broke through
the line and presented him­self
to me immediately.
This move blinded me from
the defensive end, Phil Smith,
who was freed by the tackle's
maneuver. The tackle forced
me to make a quick pitch to
tailback Dwight Hurston, who
was trailing me, awaiting my
decision to keep the ball or
pitch to him.
The defensive end saw that
he was freed of his immediate
responsibility and blitzed be­tween
Hurston and me, inter­cepting
the lateral and taking
the ball into the end zone for
a touchdown. That's when I
wishedl could have awakened,
finding that it was all just a
bad dream.

"We knew we had to move

said Good.
And that's what Tech did,
following an" exchange of
fumbles. Good flipped a four-yard
scoring pass to tight end
Joel Stevenson.
Auburn's John Riley kicked
a 26-yard field goal in the
second quarter and the Tigers
seemed to be headed to a 10-

Auburn quarterback Loran
Carter and center Tom Banks
could not get together on a
snap, Georgia Tech recovering
the resulting fumble.
Immediately following this
play, Good put Tech back into
the ball game with a 27-yard

Around the SEC
Hushed Gators
face Vandy
By MIKE ANDERSON
The Florida Gators' growl was hushed last week in
the mud against North Carolina.
The Gators, 4-0 and ranked seventh in the nation
going into last Saturday's game at Chapel Hill.N.C,
lost 22-7 to the lowly Tar Heels, who won only their
second game in five tries.
Florida meets Vanderbilt tomorrow in a Southeastern
Conference game which won't be an easy swim for the
Gators. But Florida, which fumbled eight times against
North Carolina, should overpower the Commodores in
Nashville, Term.
The pre-season choice to win the SEC, Florida has
had difficulty with every team they've played. Air Force
barely succumbed, 23-21, and the Gators could break
open the Mississippi State (31-14) and Tulane (24-3)
games only in the last quarter of action.
Florida played its best game against Florida State
and flanker Ron Sellers, beating the Seminoles, 9-3.
TWO BIG VICTORIES
While coach Bill Pace's Vanderbilt team looked im­pressive
in winning its opening games against Virginia
Military Institute and Army, they were simply run into
the ground by Alabama and Georgia on the last two week­ends.
The Commodores have two fine young players in quar­terback
John Miller and split end Curt Chesley, a sopho­more
passing combination which has been at or near the
top of the SEC passing statistics all year.
On the defensive side of the coin, linebacker Chip
Healey is Vandy's key operative.
But Vandy doesn't have enough Millers, Chesleys and
Healys to stop Florida.
The Gators are definitely a better team than last
week's fiasco in the North Carolina mud indicated.
But for Florida to go much farther in the SEC, the
Gator offense must improve. Coach Ray Graves has been
alternating two quarterbacks, senior Larry Rentz and
junior Jackie Eckdal, but the Gators have had little
aerial offense to show opponents.
On the ground the Gators are something else. When
fullback Larry Smith isn't gaining 100 yards a game, tail­back
Tom Christian is. Smith, a bullish all-America
candidate, also picks up unexpected yardage by throw­ing
an occasional pass.
AROUND THE SEC
Around the rest of the SEC: Georgia will safely corral
Kentucky's Dicky Lyons in Lexington; Alabama's Tide
will wash out the Clemson tank attack, though not easily;
Louisiana State will knock over weak Texas Christian;
Mississippi will tame independent power Houston, and
Mississippi State, coming off a fine tie with unbeaten
Texas Tech, will squeeze by Tampa for its first win.

Going into the sixth week of predicting, bouncing Bill
Beemer continues to hold a stranglehold on the leader's
spot.
Sports editor Richard Wittish and assistant sports
editor Jim Parker zoomed into tie for second place with
| | Ed "Sgt. Rock" Ruzic by posting last week's best re­cords.
Each went 8-2.
Last week's guest, David Serota, and Plainsman editor
David Housel were 4-6, chalking up the worst weekly
| records of the season.
This week's guest is Mrs. Minerva Reeve, who admits
that she doesn't know much about football, but has other
things going for her. Better known as "Madame Minerva,"
this Noble Hall housemother is becoming renowned as
the campus fortuneteller.
Can Mrs. Reeve use her psychic powers to defeat the
experience and wits of the Plainsman pickers? Will
Mississippi beat Houston by a touchdown, as she has
predicted?
For the answers, tune in your crystal ball next week
when Muhlenberg takes on Swarthmore. The Mules decon-gested
Ursinus last week, 45-8, inspite of the tree in
Ursinus' endzone.
Ruz' Intramural News
look out! ATO's have engines running
By ED RUZIC
A good football team is
like a good car. You've got
to have a lot of Air, good
Tires, and plenty of high
quality Oil.; And ATO fit
the description perfectly
as they got their car started
last week by running over
PKA, 21-b.
If ATO wins the League 3
championship, it won't be an
unusual surprise. And if ATO
wins the All-Sports trophy
this year, it still won't be
an unusual surprise. The Air,
Tire, and Oil boys were run-ners-
up for the All-Sports
trophy the last two years
and were third the year be­fore
that.
BACK SEAT DRIVER
Bobby Smith, the ATO's
perennial back seat driver,
has let the word out that this
i s the year his fraternity is
cH^S
For the preferred seniors only
going to stop fooling around
and finally bring home the
trophy.
Two years ago a schedule
fluke cost the ATO's the
prize, and last year a horse­shoe
match here and a table
tennis match there, plus a bad
bowling frame, helped them
lose. But if Larry Chandler
keeps throwing like he did
last week, Smith might be
right.
FROM RUNTS TO PACKERS
From the Speedy Runts to
the Toddling Turtles, the
Beta Theta Phi's have been
transformed into the North
College Street Packers. Last
week they played the best
second half they'll probably
ever play and came out on
the better end of a 12-0 score
against OTS.
I don't know how many pas­ses
they intercepted, but it
seemed as i f the whole team
was after the ball on every
defensive play. Lloyd Brooks,
Bennett Pruitt, Steve Koslow,
and Phillip Wallace give the
Beta's lots of class, probably
enough to beat all the teams
in their league, but you better
believe that the Sigma Nu's
and Sigma Chi's aren't going
to be pushovers.
LEAGUE 2
In League 2, the Delta
Chi's and KAs won easily
over Delta Sigma Phi and
Delta Tau Delta respectively.
But the deciding game takes
place today when the Red
Bandits and the Southern
Gentlemen meet head on.
In the first game I have pre­dicted
this year, I will have
to say the KA's will win it.
The experience of Bob Cole­man
will show over that of
Delta Chi QB Jeff Gilmer.
But this is going to be a
close game, and I've been
wrong a lot of times, so don't
be surprised if things turn
out differently.
In League 4, David Wolfe
started where he finished
last year and was able t o
hoe the AGRs to victory over
Pi Kappa Phi, tj-22. Danny Rew
and Benny Hitch helped out.
In other League 4 play, Phi
Gamma Delta looked lousy
while taking an overtime vic­tory
from the Phi Delt's, 6-0.
Jerry Crowder caught a touch­down
on the first play of over­time
in what was a Phi Delt-dominated
game.
The Wesley Foundation has,
along with John Wallace, come
through this year with one of
their strongest teams in a
long time. Last week's vic­tory
over a big BSU squad
might give them the momentum
to go all the way in League a.
In League 3, and probably
in dorm play all year, it is
going to be another winning
season for the P-2 Pistons.
Last week they amassed the
most points scored this year
when they wrecked Div. A/K
44-0. Division Councilor
Keen Wilson is one of many
mainstays.

Mighty Miami met Joltin9 Joe
Friday, October 27, 1968 9-THE PLAINSMAN
Mighty Miami.
That's who the Alabama Polytechnic Institute Tigers
played that crisp October day in 1954. And 25,000 fans
were in Legion Field to see the Hurricanes, the nation's
number six team. Auburn had not won in Legion Field
since they upset Alabama, 14-13, in 1949.
And now they faced the task of beating Miami-mighty
Miami.
They brought a host of pro prospects. There were such
redoubtables as fullback Don Bosseler and quarterback
Mario Bonifiglio. Pro scouts drooled over the Hurricanes.
Ideal for the Ballgame
Storm warning went up early when Bosseler intercepted
a Bobby Freeman pass at the Auburn 22. Carl Garrigus
tossed to Tom Pepsin moments later and it was 6-0. Ed
Oliver's PAT made it 7-0 with 8:05 left in the first quar­ter.
Auburn's first half offense was terrible.
Miami began another drive in the third quarter.
With the ball on the Hurricane 47, Bonifiglio rolled
out, got past the line and streaked down field. Only one
man stood between Bonifiglio and the goal. That was
Bobby Freeman. Freeman made an attempt to get the
twisting Hurricane and missed.
No one felt worse about it tnan Freeman.
Oliver was set for his next PAT boot.
Great Tiger Tales By Roy Riley
The snap was perfect, the hold was perfect, and the
kick was perfect.....and so was Freeman's outstretched
hand. The Tiger great slapped the ball down to save a
point.
Only 11:00 remained in the contest.
Fabulous Fob James, who hollered "War Eagle" when
he ran through the line, broke loose on a 24-yard run
that ended at the Miami 23. Things were looking up for
Auburn.
But a penalty and an interception stopped the drive.
Less than nine minutes remained.
The 'Canes then drove to the Auburn 31, and were
faced with a fourth and five. They would have done well
to have punted.
But they didn't, and All-America Jim Pyburn roared
in and knocked Bonifiglio down behind the line.
Auburn kicked off and Bonifiglio took it and broke
down the sideline.
He found daylight and was long gone...except he
dropped the ball. No one tackled him. He didn't slip.
He just dropped the ball.
And Auburn's Frank Day recovered on the Miami 27.
Hang your head high
(Continued from page 6)
ricks or running back Vince Opalsky or middle guard
Jerry Pierce or any other Miami players by walking up
and giving them this fact, but Roy has a point.
If the Tigers have nothing else going for them, it's
homecoming tomorrow. Last year Miami barely beat Au­burn
down South in the dark. This year they're playing
in Cliff Hare in the daytime. And I guess even Ted
Hendricks looks smaller in the sunlight.
So until late Saturday afternoon, at least, let's do what
a friend of mine suggested doing last Saturday. Let's
hang our heads high.
Last Saturday after Tech scored their 21st point, I
turned to my girl and said, "I guess I just lost a dollar."
You see, I bet my father we'd win more than three
games this year after witnessing the Southern Methodist
loss over a month ago.
"Don't you think we'll win any more games?" she
said.
"Not if we play this way," I said.
Now, I'm not so sure. I'm even counting on having an
extra dollar in my pocket Saturday night.
Hell, it's homecoming.

Middleton, with Pyburn, Frank D'Agastino, and George
Atkins blocking like madmen, sailed to the 18.
Childress took it inside the 10.
•Then Joltin, Joe found the three yard line.
The running hero thus far unmentioned, Joe Childress,
then smashed the line four times and the Robertsdale
Ripper took it to the Miami 37.
Freeman, running zigzag, straight, and stumbling, took
it to the Hurricane 16. Dave "Hoppy" Middleton rammed
it to the 13. Time was getting short.
Then Freeman, with a beautiful fake, gave it to Child­ress.
The future pro fullback followed Pyburn "s block­ing
to glory and it was 13-6.
They must have loved it in Robertsdale.
Childress booted the PAT.
But less than three minutes remained and no one could
imagine API having a chance to win.
The next play was to Childress again and the roar
told everyone in Jefferson County that Joe Childress
had just put Robertsdale on the map....and Auburn back
in the ballgame.
All was quiet for Childress and his extra point attempt.
The snap was back and then the ball was sailing
through the uprights.
Mighty Miami had fallen.
Miami had come to Legion Field unbeaten, untied, and
virtually unscored upon.
They left untied.
It was a great moment in Auburn sports.

La Mar - 'and here I am again9
By GUY RHODES
The Second World War was still three months away for
the United States. What is now "new fraternity row" was
a drilling area for the Army ROTC cadets. Horse-drawn
French 75 MM cannons dotted the terrain, and unfortunate
cadets had the seven a.m. duty of feeding the horses
which were stabled on the site of the crackerbox Sports
Arena which has known so many victories of the hard­court.
Each fraternity house averaged about three cars
to its membership, if they were lucky. Hitchhikers were
prevalent on Toomer's corner hoping for a ride to Mont­gomery,
Montevallo or points elsewhere.
In short it was Auburn....
It was to this pre-World War II Auburn of 1941 that
Andrew W. LaMar, Jr., Auburn's new professor of mili­tary
science, made his first visit. He was a student, one
of 3,500 who were beginning the year at Auburn Poly­technic
Institute. He, like many other male students at
that time, would not finish his college career at the
"Loveliest Village." The war would interrupt that.
"The war was on, and I received an appointment to
West Point and left Auburn in 1943. Somehow I never
forgot the place," recalled Colonel LaMar.
Auburn's loss was West Point's gain. Colonel LaMar
had come to Auburn at the insistence of track coach
Wilbur Hutsell. A hurdler, and a good one, he lettered
his sophomore year and was duly initiated into the "A"
Club.
"I remember the initiation was rough and lasted about
a week," said Colonel LaMar as he recalled the endless
sleepless nights of his introduction into the organization
for letterman athletes.
Home for Colonel LaMar was the Sigma Phi Epsilon
Fraternity house where he spent many nights discussing
his future and the future of the world and the relative
merits of the football team.
"The greatest football game I have ever seen was the
1942 Auburn-Georgia contest in Columbus," said Colonel
LaMar. "The Bulldogs had Frank Sinkwich and Charlie
Trippi who led them to ten wins including a win in the
Rose Bowl. But there was one game they lost that year.
Auburn beat them 26-13 with Monk Gafford leading the
way. I've never witnessed an athletic event with more
spirit."
"I've run into Auburn people all over the world, and
there is always that unique feeling generated by the
Auburn spirit," added Colonel LaMar.
When Colonel LaMar left the "Plains" for West Point,
he wasn't sure that he would return to Auburn as soon
or
COL. A.W. LAMAR
New Army ROTC PMS
as he did under the circumstances which were in-volved.
As a student at Fort Benning Georgia's Infantry School
in 1947, Colonel LaMar often made the 40-mile trip to
Auburn for social reasons.
Her name was Julie deGraffenried, a Kappa Delta, and
she was soon to become the wife of then Lieutenant
LaMar. Mrs. LaMar was a student at the time, counting
among her relatives the legendary Boozer Pitts, a former

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
all-time great center on the Auburn football team.
The next three years for the LaMars were spent in
Germany with the sixth Armored Cavalry Regiment. Dur­ing
this tour of duty, the LaMar's first child, Julie, was
born. Now a sophomore at Auburn, Julie is a member of
the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. •
The LaMars have three other children. Andrew IE
attends Auburn High School; William is a student at
Auburn Middle School, and Lucy Lee goes to Wright's
Mill Elementary School.
The Korean Waf saw Colonel LaMar participate in three
campaigns with a tank battalion and receive the air
medal. Then it was back to Auburn, this time with Cap­tain's
bars as the assistant professor of military science
in 1953. He spent three years in that capacity.
That tour ended 12 years ago, and since that time
Colonel LaMar has been military adviser in Belgium, an
instructor at the Command and General Staff College, an
armed cavalry squadron commander along the border
.between East and West Germany and a Personnel Dir­ector
at the Pentagon.
Now Colonel LaMar finds himself in Auburn again.
"When I heard there was an opening for PMS at Auburn,
I expressed my desire to return. Things worked out, and
here I am again," said Colonel LaMar.
"Everything seems to be in fine shape as I see things,
and I don't foresee any changes with the ROTC program
at the present. Retiring PMS Colonel Marshall conducted
a fine program. The Auburn Cadet Corps is recognized
as one of the best in the nation," says Colonel LaMar.
In the Army for 22 years, Colonel LaMar plans to con­tinue
for a while after his three year tour of duty as PMS
ia finished. After that, who knows, but if the past is any
indication, Auburn may find one retired Col. Andrew W.
LaMar as a resident.

'Watch those spades!' says Noble's Madame Minerva
By JOHN REYNOLDS
"Clubs are not neces­sarily
unlucky cards,"
said"Madame Minerva,"
head resident of Noble Hall.
"Any hearts showing on
the card table can mean a
fabulous romance, but watch
those spades!"
To most fortune tellers,
spades signify death, but for
35 years Mrs. Keith G. Reeve
or "Madame Minerva," as
Noble Hall coeds call their
head resident, has revealed
only good fortunes and left
the dread forecasts to the
pros who earn their fees with
crystal balls and tea leaves.
A PLEASANT PASTIME
She got her knack for for­tune
telling from a close friend
who spent several days at a
YWCA seminar, but Madame
Minerva uses her fortunetell-ing
ability not only as a plea­sant
pastime , but also as a
subtle means to get students
acquainted, and entertain
them, a tool by which she
"breaks the ice between stu­dents."
Fortune telling also serves
as a means for the ingenious
head resident to boost the
morale of homesick freshman
girls who feel there is a de­finite
"communication gap"

oetween Auburn and home.
After a visit with the opti­mistic
Madame Minerva, one
freshman who had been dis­tressed
by a lack of letters,
phone calls and messages
from a certain young man was
deluged with three long dis­tance
telephone calls, 16
letters in one day and a
dozen red roses.
Madame Minerva's 'Out on a
limb' prediction on page 8.
Although Madame Minerva
said she has never read any
publication on witchcraft or
palmistry describing her
method of fortune telling, she
laughingly told of the time
she was tagged a "witch"
by an astounded psychology
major administering an extra
sensory perception test.
She was given a well-shuf­fled
deck of 52 playing cards,
four of which had been dealt
facing up on the table, and
told to place the cards in her
hand one by one on the pile
with the corresponding color,
without looking at them.
To his amazement, she did
what the young man thought
not only improbable, but also
impossible. Shakily, the stu­dent
informed her that by
achieving almost 100 per cent,
she was one person in three
billion.
Some of her acquaintances
attribute her success in the
test and her seemingly mysti­cal
powers to extra sensory
perception, she said, but
Madame Minerva maintains
she does not know the reason
for these supernatural oc-currances.
On four separate occasions
in the presence of several
coeds recently she was well
on her way to a perfect extra
sensory perception test with
the cards, but each time she
stopped abruptly and said
aloud, "Why go on? I have
already had a perfect test; my
score can onlv eo down."
DOESN'T INTERFERE
However much fun the role
of Madame Minerva might be,
she does not let it interfere
with the duties of head resi­dent
to her girls. Often her
predictions are interlaced
with "housemotherly" common
sense. "Oh, you are so
lucky," she told one girl.
"You will have a big date
with a brunette, and you will
also have trouble with him.
Just be sure to sign out on
your in-and-out card before
leaving," she added.
Perhaps her greatest

triumph was with Mrs. Eleanor
Whitelaw, who allowed her
future to be uncovered by the
fortune teller-head resident,
fully costumed in Gypsy's
garments' at a faculty club
meeting. Madame Minerva saw
in the cards money, a change
of jobs, eminent marriage, a
very successful year and
"something very unexpected"
for Mrs. Whitelaw.
"It was really sort of
weird," said Mrs. Whitelaw,
who was then employed by
Channel Three Television in
Columbus, Ga. By the next
summer Mrs. Whitelaw was
working for Auburn Educa­tional
Television and her
new duties as producer/dir­ector
of ETV were a vast
improvement over her pre­vious
job. Later, she became
engaged but never married.
One prediction was completely
true and another one was
partially fulfilled. As for the
"unexpected something,"
Mrs. • Whitelaw later inter­preted
it as being a national
award she won by entering
an ETV production she wrote
in a contest.

IBM invites you to join an infant industry.
Big as it is, the information processing
industry is just beginning to grow.
Recently, Fortune estimated that the value
of general purpose computers installed in
this country will more than double by 1972.
Other publications have other predictions,
and probably no source is totally precise. But
most agree that information processing is
one of America's fastest growing major
industries.
Every day, it seems, computers go to work
in a new field or new application. IBM com­puters
are working in such diverse fields as
business, law, medicine, oceanography,
traffic control, air pollution: Just about any
area you can name.
To somebody just starting out, this growth
means exceptionally good chances for
advancement. Last year, for example, we
appointed over 4,000 managers—on
performance, not seniority. Here are four
ways you could grow with IBM:
Engineering and Science
"The interdisciplinary
environment keeps
you technologically
hot."
ment, Manufacturing, Product Test, Space
and Defense Projects, and Field Engineering.
You'll need at least a B.S. in any technical field.
Marketing
"Working with
company presidents
is part of the job."
"Working in data process­ing
today pretty much means
you work in a broad spectrum
of technologies," says Nick
Donofrio.
An Associate Engineer at IBM, Nick is a
1967 graduate in Electrical Engineering.
He's using his technical background to de­sign
circuits for computer memory systems.
Nick says, "Your specialty at IBM can take
you into the front yard of half a dozen dif­ferent
fields. In my job, for example, I work
with systems design engineers, chemists,
physicists, metallurgists, and programmers.
The diversity helps me keep up to date on
the latest technologies."
Career areas in engineering and science
at IBM include: Research, Design & Develop-
"I'm pretty much the
IBM Corporation in
the eyes of my
customers," says
Andy Moran. "I
consider that fairly good for an engineer
who graduated only two years ago."
Andy earned his B.S.E.E. in 1966. Today,
he's a Marketing Representative with IBM,
involved in the planning, selling and installa­tion
of data processing systems.
Andy's customers include companies with
annual sales ranging from 20 million
to 120 million dollars. He often works
with executive vice-presidents and presi­dents.
Andy says, "At first I was a little
nervous about the idea of advising execu­tives
at that level. But by the time I finished
training, I knew I was equipped to do the job."
Career areas in marketing at IBM include:
Data Processing Marketing and Systems
Engineering, Office Products Sales, and
Information Records Sales. Degree require­ment:
B.S. or B.A. in any field.
Finance
"You're in an ideal
spot to move
ahead fast."
"I've always figured my
chances for advance­ment
would be better
in a growth industry.
That's why I picked
IBM," says Joe Takacs
Joe's been working
in general accounting
Other reasons to consider IBM
1. SjriaiiJleajpCqncepi. No matter how large
a project may be, we break it down into
units small enough to be handled by one
person or a few people. Result: quick recog­nition
for achievement.
2. Educational Support IBM employees
spend over thirteen million hours a year in
company-sponsored educational and training
programs. And plans like our Tuition
Refund Program could help you get your
Master's or Ph.D.
3. 300 Locations. We have almost 50 plant,
laboratory, or headquarters locations and
over 250 branch offices in key cities
throughout the United States.
4. Openings at All Degree Levels. We have
many appropriate starting jobs for people at
any degree level; Bachelor's, Master's
or Ph.D.

since he got his B.B.A. in June, 1968. Growth
wasn't the only reason he chose IBM. He
says. "I learned that it's general practice at
IBM to promote from within and to promote
on merit alone. I like that.
"Another growth factor is the job itself,"
Joe says. "During my first few years, I'll get
experience in nearly every area of general
accounting —Income & Expense. Balance
Sheet, and so on. I'll be learning how the
company is structured and how it operates
on a broad scale. That's exactly the kind of
knowledge I'll need to help me qualify for
a manager's job."

Career areas in finance at, IBM include:
Financial Planning and Control, Financial
Analysis, Accounting. Information Systems,
and Internal Auditing. You'll need at least a
Bachelor's degree.
Programming
"It's a mixture
of science
and art."
"A computer
is prac­tically
use­less
until some­body
writes a
program for it,"
says Earl Wilson.
Earl got a B.A. in Modern t
Languages in June,1967.
He's now an IBM programmer working on a
teleprocessing system that will link the
computerized management information
systems of several IBM divisions.
Earl defines a "program" as a set of
instructions that enables a computer to do a
specific job. "Programming involves
science," says Earl, "because you have to
analyze problems logically and objectively.
But once you've made your analysis, you
have an infinite variety of ways to use a
computer's basic abilities. There's all the
room in the world for individual expression."
Career areas in programming at IBM include:
Systems Programming, Applications Pro­gramming,
Programming Research, and
Internal Programming for IBM's own use.
You'll need at least a B.S. or B.A.
