Missing amendment baffles student leaders
By BOB PAYNE
Where is the missing
Constitutional amendment?
In spring quarter of 1966
the Student Senate passed
an amendment to the Stu­dent
Body Constitution
making editor and business
manager for The Plainsman
and the Glomerata elective
positions.
Records of the Senate meet­ings
indicate that the pro­posal
was approved by Pres.
Harry M. Philpott and Dean
of Student Affairs James E.
Foy. After approval by the
Jurisprudence Committee, the
amendment received over­whelming
support from the
student body in the April 21,
1966, election with a voter
of 2765 to 866, as reported in
The Plainsman.
With this vote, the amend­ment
became part of the Con­stitution,
and heads of the
publications have been elect­ed
for the past two years.
Yet this provision does not
appear in the present draft
of the Constitution main­tained
by the Student Body.
Why?
"Apparently the editor of
the student handbook Tiger
Cub failed to note this change
in the Constitution when pre­paring
the 1966-67 handbook,"
said George McMillan,i965-66
student body president and a
principal supporter of the
measure. Subsequent drafts of
the Constitution were based
on the document as it appeared
in the 1966-67 Tiger Cub.
Radio and TV director for
University Relations Jim
Yeaman, who, as senator-at-large,
proposed the amendment
said, "A clerical error is
probably responsible for the
omission."
Kay Ivey LaRavia, secre­tary
of the Student Body when
the amendment was passed,
said, "Apparently the pro­vision
was left out because
of the confusion with the
change of administration.
The amendment was approved
by the student body by an
overwhelming vote."
The omission was noted at
the Senate meeting Monday
night, and being unable to
locate records to verify the
revision in the Student Body
Office, the Senate passed
another proposed amendment
to make publication heads
elective.
The proposal was passed
on to the Jurisprudence Com­mittee,
appointed watchdog
for the Constitution, which
declined to make a ruling on
the matter until further in­formation
was available.
Though charged with render­ing
interpretations of the Con­stitution
and Laws of the
Student Body, the Jurispru­dence
Committee had failed
to note the omission in the
two and one-half years since
the amendment was enacted.
A special committee, the
Constitutional Revisions
Committee, is responsible
for studying the Constitution
and recommending changes.
This committee also neglec­ted
to point out the mistake.
Efforts to update the Con­stitution
this summer also
failed to discover the omis­sion.
Student Body President
Jimmy Bryan siad, "We were
unaware of the error, and
steps are being taken to cor­rect
it. W e a r e examining
the records and will correct
the Constitution as soon as
possible."
McMillan .attributed the
failure to revise the draft of
the Constitution to the lack
of continuity during changes
in administration. "First,
negligence and later, ignor­ance
are probably to blame
for the omission," he said.
"This sort of thing has hap­pened
before."
Vice-president Phillip
Wallace speculated that the
Senate would withdraw its
proposal and await ruling from
the Jurisprudence Committee
on the matter.

Philpott outlines
Coliseum uses
By BOB PAYNE
A schedule of priorities, the creation of the position
of business manager and a tentative arrangement for
fees for use of the Memorial Coliseum were announced
by Pres. Harry M. Philpott in a memorandum this week.
Priorities for use of the
Coliseum, • scheduled for
occupancy in January of
1969, include:
(1) Graduation, registra­tion
and student convoca­tions.
(2) Scheduled intercolle­giate
athletic events.
(3) Student activities (Lec­ture-
Concert Series, pro­grams
offered by Social and
Jnicn committees, ACOIA,
pep rallies).
(4) Regular daily athletic
team practice and P.E. in­struction.
(5) Institutional related
conferences.
(6) Intramural s
(7) Other special events
recommended by the Coliseum
Committee and approved by
the President.
The business manager, to
be appointed, is charged with
establishing an organization
to maintain and operate the
facility, coordinating assign­ment
of space and facilities,
establishing "house rules,"
developing schedules for
special events and keeping
the Coliseum in operating
condition.
The business manager also
has responsibility for operat­ing
the Coliseum within the
budget approved by the pres­ident
and coordinating the
use of the facilities in con­junction
with the Athletic
Department, the P.E. Depart­ment
and the Coliseum Com­mittee.
The memorandum from Pres­ident
Philpott also suggested
a schedule of fees to be
charged for use of the Col­iseum
by groups not regularly
contributing to the operating
budget of the facility. Ten­tative
fees range from $50 to
$500 depending on the nature

president of the Student Body.
Revisions in the election
rules contain provisions for
counting votes with voting
machines, allowing fourth-year
students in five-year
curricula to run for the Sen­ate
and requiring all candi­dates
for the Senate to ap­pear
before the Student Body
Board of Election Qualifica­tions
of their School Officers'
Boards of Election Qualifica­tions.
Previously, candidates for
School Senators were approved
by school councils. Members
of the new School Officers'
Boards of Election Qualifica­tions
will be appointed by
the Student Body President
and the Superintendent of
Political Affairs.
"The reason for this pro­posal
is that the Senate feels
candidates for school sena­tors
should pass the same
tests on knowledge of the
student body constitution as
candidates for Senators-at-large,"
said Phillip Wallace,
vice president of the Student
Body.
The proposed amendments
making graduate students
members of the student body
allows them to vote in student
body elections and choose
school officers. However,
graduate students are still
prohibited from running for
campus-wide offices.
"Graduate students have
been paying the same activi­ties
fees as undergraduates
for several years," Wallace
said, "and they should be
given the same rights."

Conference enters second decade;
Study Day program enlarged
By MARGARET HESTER
"The Urban Crisis," topic of the 1969 Auburn Con­ference
on International Affairs, will focus on domestic
problems as the Conference begins its second decade
here.
Announcement of the
topic was made by Chairman
Mike Watson this week.
Problems of housing
shortage, transportation,
health conditions and
racial strife will be discussed
by leaders in education,
government and news media _a a " s i m s y e a r

scheduled March 31
through April 2. ;
"By scheduling the Con­ference
the second week of
spring we hope to avoid
academic conflicts such as
mid-terms and delays caused
by inclement weather. In the
past two years at least two
speakers have been detained
by snow," Watson said.

to register if procedures
outlined by the Senate are
followed.
In order to be excused
from classes, students must

Fifth consecutive honor
Plainsman named XAII-Amerkan'
By JOE LEHMAN
The Auburn Plainsman
has received a fifth con­secutive
"All-American"
honor rating in the 79th
Associated Collegiate Press
All-American Critical Ser­vice.
"All-American" is the
highest rating a college news­paper
can receive. The Plains­man
earned the ranking for
last winter and spring quar­ters'
issues.
The Plainsman sports de­partment
headed by Sports
Editor Richard Wittish re­ceived
special comment from
ACP judge Arthur Levin.
"The sports section has the
best coverage, writing and
display in the nation and
serves as a model for other
college newspapers to fol­low,"
he said.
The paper, edited by
Bruce Nichols who is cur­rently
enrolled in the Uni­versity
of Virginia Law School,
was termed "one of the out­standing
college papers in
the country and certainly de­serving
of its 'All-American'
and 'Pacemaker' awards,"
according to Levin.

consecutive year, won one of

Levin also cited The Plains­man
for "news coverage with
vitality, concise editorials"
which "covered all subjects
well" and "attractive inside
page makeup."
Student newspapers from
more than 500 colleges and
universities across the nation
entered the competition and
were judged on the quality of
content, writing and makeup
in categories based on school
enrollment, frequency of pub­lication
and printing method.
The Plainsman winter and
spring issues of 1966 were
the first to receive an Ail-
American rating in 21 years.

Power failure brings
Eighty minutes of confusion
By PETE PEPINSKY
Where were you when the lights went out?
All was normal in Auburn Thursday morning. The clock
on Samford Tower said 9:37. Minutes later, the clock
still said 9:37. In fact, the Samford tower clock said
9:37 until lu:57, at which time the Alabama Power Com­pany
returned the electricity to a stunned Auburn-Ope-lika
area.
Several coeds were trapped in elevators in the South
Womens' Dormitories for more than an hour; the eleva­tors
have no escape hatches.
Merchants in downtown Auburn stood around with
quizzical expressions on their faces. Customers in bar­ber
shops sat in the chairs with semi-haircuts. R.O.T.C.
boys ran around in a tizzy, wondering how to explain
'Wreck Tech' parade
A student demonstra­tion
on the Auburn campus?
Yes, the annual Wreck
Tech Parade is a student
demonstration, not of pro­test,
but of the unbeatable
War Eagle spirit.
Signs, floats and eager
freshmen will compose
the bulk of the parade
held Wednesday at 3:30
p.m. before the traditional
clash with Georgia Tech.
The parade will form
on the soccer field behind
the stadium at 3 p.m. Par­ticipating
freshmen will
wear "Rat" caps, and
pajamas are required for
male frosh.
Participants must be
in their positions no later
than 3:15 p.m. After the
parade, the "Wreck Tech"
Pep Rally will be held
in Cliff Hare Stadium at
approximately 4:45 p.m.
with Head Coach Ralph
"Snug"' Jordan as guest
speaker.
Dean's excuses will be
given to all freshmen,
cheerleaders and band
members who take part
in the parade. The excus­es
will cover 3-6 p.m.
classes except for one-hour
classes and labs.
shaggy hair to mean drill sergeants.
A policeman's whistle broke the sounds of disorder,
as one of Auburn's finest substituted for a blank-eyed
traffic light.
Roy of the Orange Bowl kept murmuring to hungry cus­tomers,
"I sure wish I had a bunch of cold cuts."
"I was just putting the cloth around one customer
when the power went off," moaned one barber. "He was
pretty faithful, but he left directly."
Storekeepers began to open front doors to fresh air as
well as the public as soon as their air conditioning was
missed. As beauty salons opened their doors, the lovely
stench of whatever if is that makes women beautiful per­meated
the streets.
"There must be something really wrong," theorized
one student to his walking companion.
Barbers began teasing passers-by with such jibes as
"How 'bout a haircut, heh, heh, heh," and "Lovely day
for razor cut" as they crowded the sidewalks.
Gas stations were unable to pump gas. "Heck, we
can't even pump air," cried one station manager.
However, not everyone was caught off guard by the
unexpected power failure. A spokesman for the Lee Coun­ty
Hospital reported that within eight seconds after the
power went off, emergency generators were automatically
running in critical areas of the hospital, and plans were
being made to secure additional equipment if necessary.
"We keep close check on the emergency generators at
all times, and in case of an extended power failure we
could function for an indefinite period of time with the
equipment," the spokesman said.
At 10:57 a.m. the power failure was over. Traffic
lights, the bank clock, all the air conditioners,gas pumps,
electric razors, stoves and lights came alive. Eighty
minutes of confusion had finally ended.
As to the cause of the temporary failure, H. Milton
Taff of the Alabama Power Company stated that the
trouble had been traced to protective equipment in the
North Auburn Primary Substation, but the actual reason
for the failure was still unknown at press time.

Wallace forces parties

Third party candidate
George Wallace will neither
win the presidency nor
throw the election into the
House of Representatives,
but the former governor has
forced the other two parties
to adjust their campaign around
his strength, according to
NBC newsman Sander Vanocur.
"Wallace has affected the
rhetoric of the Democratic
and Republican parties,"
said Vanocur. "Both have
taken his strength into account
in planning their campaigns."
"Wallace was the first
politician to sense the voters'
alienation from the political
system," he said. "Since the
New Deal era people have
felt "put upon" by the sys­tem."
Vanocur spoke to an over­flow
crowd last Thursday
night in the Student Activi­ties
Building.
Vanocur said that Wallace's
advocacy of using massive
force to put down violence
is the majority view in this
country.
"But law and order now
means to keep the Negroes
and peace demonstrators in
their place and to maintain
the status quo," he said.
Vanocur said that should
Wallace throw the election
into the House of Representa­tives
he would be a shrewd
enough politician to make no
deals with anyone and would
be much stronger in 1972 than
he is now.
He also predicted Richard
Nixon would win the presi­dency

City-student relation-a change, a challenge
Transient local revenue
poses financial question
By JAMES THORNTON
Auburn is a city within a city-one is transient, the
other permanent. Each depends upon the other.
But this interdependence is unique.
I The transient population is equal to the
year-round citizen population. And the
transient city is the other's main
industry.
The two cities consist of a small east
Alabama town and an adjoining state
university. When university students go
THORNTON nome between quarters, the Auburn city
returns to an ordinary small town atmosphere.
The city-university dependence is mainly an economic
one.
Even though students contribute greatly to the city
economy, they are not the only contributers. The city
receives revenue from property taxes, business licenses,
motor vehicle and dog licenses, construction permits,
city sewer use and ad valorem taxes for school purposes,
most of which do not affect students.
In 1967 the Auburn General Fund revenue totaled
Si,319,647, according to the city Report on Examination.
Of this amount, the university contributed $52,816 in
lieu of taxes for services which include sewage, water,
fire and supplementary police protection. The university
does not pay any taxes to the city, since it is a state-supported
institution.
"The location of Auburn University in the city of
Auburn is unique in that it is the largest employer in the
community and its student body is about half the total
population of the city," said Dan Hollis, Auburn City
Council president. "The city has the responsibility of
providing many government services to the university
directly and indirectly."
' 'As the university grows, the city services must also
be expanded to meet the needs," Hollis said. "This
creates considerable financial burden on the city to
provide these services, as the university functions and
property are not subject to taxation."
Opinions vary on the nature of the financial rela­tionship
between the university and the city.
"I don't think the university is doing enough toward
the financial role of Auburn," said Otis Moreman, Auburn
Chamber of Commerce executive secretary. "If Auburn
"Is going to grow faster we are going to have to have more
participation. Faculty members could play a greater role."
Councilmen may deny
student Council 'seat'
By LYN SCARBROUGH
Auburn's student body
will not have a representa­tive
seated at the City Coun­cil
table this year unless a
resolution adopted by the
former council is also adop­ted
by the new group.
The former council voted
last spring to allow a stu­dent
to sit with the council
to "express student opinion,
especially on those matters
pertaining to students."
Alabama state law would
not permit the student to be
an official member or have a
vote.
However,, the resolution
inviting student representa­tion
expired Oct. b when the
outgoing council left office.
New City Council president
Dan W. Hollis said no stu­dent
can be seated on the
council and that the new
council "actually has no
choice in the matter."
"There are legal and
moral reasons why no citi­zen,
other than elected rep­resentatives,
may sit on the
council," Hollis said. "State
law forbids such seating.
The idea is also morally in­defensible
in that if such
status could be granted,
every conceivable group or
organization could and might
ask for a seat on the coun-
JERRY LOWREY
Former representative
cil, which would present a
situation which could lead
to chaos."
"However, it must be
pointed out that any citizen
and any group representative
may attend each council
meeting and will be recog­nized
at the appropriate
time for presentation of mat­ters
pertinent to city govern­ment,"
Hollis said. "Should
the student body wish to
name an official representa­tive
to council meetings,
the action would be wel­comed
and the representa­tive
would be recognized in
proper order. The council
not only accords such recog­nition,
but it welcomes and
encourages such attendance
and participation in city
government by any and all
citizens."
Student body president
Jimmy Bryan said the stu­dent
body "should be rep­resented
on and officially
recognized by the City Coun­cil
in some form."
"It would be a mistake
to destroy the only official
channel students now have
for communication with city
officials," Bryan said. "A
student representative could
speak for 14,000 students-a
number which equals the
total permanent city popu­lation."
"Unlike truck drivers,
printers, or other smaller
interest groups, the majority
of students can not run for a
council seat or choose rep­resentatives,"
Bryan said.
"Most students do not have
legal residence here and
are apparently often dis­couraged
from establishing
it. Although a student rep­resentative
would be a non­voting
'member,' he could
express responsible, con­structive
student opinion on
university and city issues."
"It would be an advantage
to officially offer students
the proper channels for their
concern on city matters,"
Bryan said, "I feel thecoun-
(See page 9, col. 3)
"In 1930-1940 when I was a member of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, some of the problems we were
talking about then, we are still only talking about," he
said. "These include modernization of the general down­town
area. But we must have added revenue and I am
not talking about sticking students. I am talking about
the individuals of the university and not the university
as a whole."
"We do not try to be a drag on the city," said L.E.
Funchess, director of university Buildings and Grounds.
"We maintain agreements with the city for payment for
services in lieu of taxes.';'
Auburn city treasurer Mrs. Gordon Bush declined com­ment
on the city-university financial relationship. "I
don't feel I should get into a discussion of this matter,"
she said.

Most students know very little about structure and
function of Auburn city government and related agen­cies.
Many feel that local officials overlook them and
that merchants are "out to get what they can" from
the students' pocket book. Students clamor for a voice-for
recognition as a large, vital and responsible
group in the community.
Opinions of student, community and university
leaders on specific issues will certainly not always
agree. In fact, in most cases they may conflict. How­ever,
only through free discussion of arising issues
will a desirable relationship be maintained. Ignoring
a situation or placing too little importance on it will
be advantageous to no one. Only an earnest attempt at
fairness and tolerance for all groups involved will
avoid the possibility of any future hard feelings or
misunderstandings."By LYN SCARBROUGH

By LYN SCARBROUGH
Auburn students depend
upon local merchants for
many necessities. Simi­larly,
merchants depend
largely upon students for
their source of livelihood.
Many businesses simply
could not exist in the down­town
Auburn area without
university trade.
Student leaders and city
merchants agree that steps'
must be taken to maintain a
desirable working relation­ship
and remove possible
misunderstanding.
Local merchants annually
sponsor Student Apprecia­tion
Week, designed to "rec­ognize
and commemorate the
service to our community"
rendered by Auburn's stu­dents
and faculty. The fes­tivities,
sponsored by 65 lo­cal
retail merchants in 1967,
feature merchandise sales,
prizes, contests and a free
student dance. However,
some students feel a "more
long-range, practical" pro­gram
is needed to show co­operation
between the groups.
Auburn student government
is studying the creation of a
student discount service for
service for this purpose.
"A discount service would
help Auburn merchants and
students alike," said Winton
Wat kins, student coordina­tor
for the program. "The
selective reduction in prices
would increase the volume,
of business and improve the
merchants' image with the
students. It would offer a
way to show students appre­ciation
in a consistent
worthwhile effort, rather
than during only a one week
celebration."
" Merchants should discuss
their efforts at showing ap­preciation
with students and
get student ideas on what
plan would be most worth­while,"
Watkins said.; "We
are going to make an all-out
effort to organize a discount
program that will be most
advantageous to everyone.
The success or failure of
the plan will rest on the
cooperation of the mer­chants.
"
Student body president
Jimmy Bryan agrees that a
discount service would pro­vide
merchants with "an
effective way of expressing
appreciation for student
partonage."
"Merchants should realize .:
that students are the life ;:
blood of most business con- ;
cerns in Auburn," Bryan :
said. "They must be aware ;
that students at other uni- >
versifies have demonstra- ;

Hiayor speaks out
Hay good: 'University can not be an island'
INTERVIEWED By LYN SCARBROUGH
Question: What should be the university's relation­ship
toward the community and the community's relation­ship
toward the university?
Answer: In the past there has been an estrangement
between university administrative heads and the Auburn
City Council and city administration. Auburn University
is the largest industry in the city. It comprises one-fourth
of the city land area and has a payroll over $15 million
a year. It is the lifeblood of the community.
The university can not be an island unto itself. It
must depend on the community for direct services such
as water, sewage disposal, fire protection and, to agreat
extent, police protection. The fate of both are inter­twined.
The picture is complicated since the university
is a creature of the state and so is the city. It is not
permissible for a creature of the state to tax the state,
so one-fourth of our land and over one-fourth of the
area's real estate value is tax exempt.
The university does seek to assist the city. Over
$50,000 is paid by the university for services annually,
plus the university also buys water from the city. But
you see the inherent problem with this tax-exempt in­dustry
in the city. But, this is not all liability, because
the university payroll stays mainly in this community.
The university is also dependent upon the community
for certain consumer services. Although it has food
service and a book store, I don't think the university
could provide all goods university people would demand.
You can't divide the two entities. This makes it essential
for cooperation and communication between them. With­out
this a host of problems can arise.
An example of our problems is the traffic situation.
Last year there were about 6500 cars registered on
campus, but the number of available parking spaces was
less than that. Most of those automobiles buy gas, but
are not taxed in this county. However, the city must
maintain a police department to direct traffic, maintain
traffic control devices and put down the yellow stripe.
It is an extra burden.
Question: What plans do yon have to work toward
these mutual aims and improve the city-student rela­tionship?
Answer: I will seek to utilize all resources available
from the university, especially in terms of personnel
with specialized knowledge. The city is spending
$900,000 to expand sewer lines and enlarge the sewage
treatment plant. There is a fully equipped sewage lab
which the university uses about one quarter each year.
This facility might be available through the university.
Also the university is starting a graduate program in
urban planning. Certainly Auburn would lend itself to
ideas in urban planning and renewal.
While the city is choking on traffic, there is a federal
program being administered by the university on traffic"
study. But the city, through lack of communication and
inquiry, is not benefiting from this program. So, there
are ways we can cooperate with each other and solve
problems.
Question: Are common attitudes that Auburn officials
suppress students and that merchants are "out to get
what they can," Justified? What can be done to remove
any negative impressions?
Answer: The student is in a maturing process. He is
MAYOR TALKS ON DISCOUNTS, COUNCIL
Haygood makes a point to Plainsman interviewer
leaving adolescence and forms opinions without having
all the facts. The Auburn merchant, as in any free enter­prise,
must make a profit. He must provide goods and
services that customers demand. To say that he is out
toget you is not fair to the merchant. We admittedly have
some bad apples if you look for them, but very few of
them are making a killing or a huge profit.
The merchant has to keep business open 12 months,
but he operates with customer availability only eight
months. Of course, utilities are not out of line, because
all city utility prices are controlled by the Alabama
Public Service Commission, whether it is Eufaula,
Hueytown, Childersburg or anywhere else. So these
ideas that keep floating around have a bit of fallacy in
them. We received some figures from the U.S. Depart­ment
of Labor which indicated that it does not cost more
to live in Auburn. There are merchants here that may
charge more, but I would say that the law of supply and
demand takes care of that.
Question: Would you favor creation of a Student Dis­count
Service? Would Auburn merchants favor it? What
advantages or disadvantages would it present?
Answer: I'm not a merchant, so I don't know that I
am qualified to speak on this. What is being proposed is
simply a discount house principle where, because of
volume purchase, the consumer is able to pick up the
saving. The problem is that merchants have to make
money in eight months of the year for a 12 month over­head.
This is the fallacy of such a discount system and
I don't think it is going to work.
The Auburn merchant is in a price squeeze and to
further take away with the discount card is not the answer
to the good will problem. I haven't talked to many mer­chants
about it, so I do not know what their reaction
will be. I really judge that this would not be a satis­factory
arrangement.
Question: Would it be advisable to allow a student
representative special recognition on the City Council?
Do you think this will be done by the incoming council?
Answer: The original invitation was intended to be a
matter of good public relations to help students under­stand
inner workings of municipal government. I think
perhaps the idea was lost in the manner in which it was
carried out.

Will 14,000 students be represented?
cally seated at the council table is of
little importance, but his recognized
representation of almost 14,000 Au­burn
residents who are ineligible to
vote in city elections is of major
importance.
Sketchy communication, like a little
learning, is a dangerous thing, and
Auburn may be suffering from a com­munication
gap between city and stu­dent
officials about the status of a
"student representative" on the city
council. (See story page three.)
Both groups agree that students
should be represented at council
meetings. The council will apparently
agree to recognize an appointee of
the student body president as an
"official non-voting student repre­sentative."
Student leadership fears
that the council will not give 'proper
consideration to the student's remarks
and suggestions on matters affecting
city-student relationships. If the
council recognizes an official student
representative and considers his re­marks,
i remembering that he is the
"official" representative of half the
Auburn population, the council, in
our opinion, will have given the
students a,voKjia!v
| Whether or riolfa^gtudent is physi-
While we agree that the student
body should be allowed an official
representative, there are two dis­turbing
undertones in views presented
by several student leaders. The belief
that students should be allowed a
council seat because of their tre­mendous
purchasing power is not in
keeping with our democratic ideas.
Also, student leaders who hint at
organized protests should remember
that beneficial communications
between students and the city of
Auburn cannot be gained through
force. Communication 'must be by
mutual agreement, and organized
p r o t e s t s would not enhance the
chances of a beneficial exchange of
ideas.
Case of the missing amendment
Omission of a legal amendment to
the constitution has again pointed out
the need for student government offi­cials
to exercise great care and ef­ficiency
in discharging their duties.
(See story page one.)
Anyone can make a mistake, but it
is hard to understand how the care of
a vital document such as the Student
Body Constitution could be allowed to
deteriorate to such an extend that a
legally approved constitutional amend­ment
could be completely omitted.
The amendment in question involves
selection of publications heads. In
the spring elections of 1966, an amend­ment
providing for s e l e c t i o n by
popular election was approved by
amending channels and favored by the
Student Body by a vote of 2,765 to
866. But it was discovered Monday
night at a meeting of the Student
Senate that this amendment had not
been added to the constitution. Ap­parently
during change of student
administrations, student officials
neglected to update the constitution.
Now, two years later, the Juris­prudence
Committee is reviewing the
publication election process. Most
of the evidence is in. George Mc­Millan,
1965-66 student body pre­sident,
Kay Ivey RaRavia, 1965-66
secretary, Jim Yeaman, the senator
who proposed the change, the Student
Senate minutes and the Plainsman's
official "publication of proposed
election law changes all indicate
that it definitely was a constitutional
amendment the student body over­whelmingly
approved. The respon­sibility
of the Jurisprudence Com­mittee
seems clear. It should update
the constitution in keeping with the
expressed wishes of the student
body. Any attempt by the committee
to revoke or question a legal amend­ment
which was presented by the
student government and approved by
the Student Body can not be justified.
Furthermore, < the Jurisprudence
Committee should take definite steps
to see that future legal amendments
are not omitted or ignored. Perhaps a
date could be set at which time a
designated official of the outgoing
student administration would be re­quired
to have the constitution up­dated.
On another set date, the new
administration would be responsible
for providing an updated constitution
to the Tiger Cub editors to publication
in the student handbook. This would
insure publication of the most recent
document.
The student body should maintain
a close watch on student govern­ment
to insure against violations of
the constitution, • whether they be
intentional or unintentional.
Honesty: a personal matter
; Fifteen student senators should
not attempt to legislate the morals of
14,000 students, < but it may happen
here. A senate committee is currently
studying an honor code which has been
reviewed by a student-faculty acad­emic
honesty committee. Supporters
of the academic honesty guide con­tend
that it should be effective upon
approval of the Student Senate, Uni­versity
Senate and President Phil-pott.
The proposed code has many
good points such as a provision for
varying degrees of punishment ac­cording
to the seriousness of an
bffense, but it is unfortunate that the
attitude of the entire student body
may not be considered before the code
is adopted.
One of the code's clauses requires
students to report any acts of academic
dishonesty to the instructor. Failure
to report violations would make a stu­dent
an accomplice to the dishonest
act and subject to punishment. No
one wants to be an informer, and many
students would not accept the role
of an informer, even though the Student
Senate, < in exercising its leadership
obligation, delegated it to them. Be­fore
the proposed honor code is made
effective, it should be approved in a
student referendum and should only
be adopted if the approval is given
by a considerable majority of voters.
Hubert H. Humphrey:
a portrait of defeat
By David Housel
Hubert H. Humphrey may be right when
he says his presidential campaign is
gaining momentum daily, but he has not indicated if that
momentum is upward or downward.
While Humphrey won't admit it, he appears to be no closer
to winning the presidential election now than he was when he
left battle-scarred Chicago an(j n o p e for a repeat of 1948
in August. In fact his cam'
paign may be on the decline.
1 As NBC newsman Sander
Vanocur said here last week,
"Nixon looks very much like
a winner, and Humphrey
looks like a loser."
The polls agree with
Vanocur's observation. The
Vice-President is trailing
Nixon in all of the polls,
and a recent New York
Times survey even put him
behind third party candidate
George Wallace.;
Humphrey trails Wallace
now, but many voters are
listed as undecided. A
sufficient number of tradi­tionally
Democratic voters
will probably remain loyal
to the ranks and give their
vote to Humphrey, putting
him ahead of Wallace, but
leaving him far behind Nixon.
As the battle lines were
being drawn early in the
summer there was consider­able
speculation about which
party the Wallace candidacy
would harm the most. Most
observers thought Wallace
would cut into the Nixon
vote, i but as election day
nears, it appears that it will
be Humphrey rather than
Nixon who will blame Wallace
for his defeat.
The Humphrey forces worx
when the Democratic nominee
Harry S. Truman won a stun­ning
upset of Republican
Thomas E.; Dewey, Dewey
had the polls, >. but Truman
had the votes, and the poli­tical
upset is one of the most
memorable in history. There
are many explanations of
that phenomenal upset, in­cluding
one theory which
says Dewey's appeal to the
voters was "too urbane,"
but Nixon has probably
studied and restudied all of
the theories and will refrain
from alienating a single voter
by his appeal.
Humphrey's eminent de­feat,
barring a miracle, will
leave the doors of the Demo­cratic
party wide open for a
fresh face, like*that of Sen.
Ted Kennedy.
Kennedy appears to be a
sure bet to take the Pre­sidential
nomination in 1972
if Humphrey loses this year,
but Nixon, already well on
his way to the White House,
is not concerned with Kennedy
at this time. After Humphrey
has been vanquished, Nixon
will then turn the Republican
efforts on Ted Kennedy and
other Democrats. That sight­ing
will probably come on the
afternoon of January 20, 1969.
Student activism...
Violence and chaos
don't bring progress
By Bob Payne
Student activism has reached unpara­lleled
heights in,the past year and is grab­bing
headlines and press coverage across the country. A
large percentage of the youth of the United States protest
the "immoral war in Vietnam," strenuously support the civil
rights movement, seek a larger voice in their educational pro­cess
and campaign for re- l i s h l i t t l e constructive re­forms
in legislation affecting s u i t s and serve only to worsen
voting, taxation, censorship already strained relations be-and
other areas
According to figures from
the Census Bureau, about 51
per cent of the people of this
country are under the age of
25. Many of these 100 million
young Americans are influ­enced
by the spokesmen of
the "beat generation" with
their attacks on "the estab­lishment"
and their distrust
of anyone over 30.
The byword for the youth
of today seems to be "con­cern."
They are deeply con­cerned
with the inequities
and shortcomings of our so­ciety.
Many are disappointed
with the life handed down to
them from their parents. Over­flowing
with idealistic en­thusiasm,
they strive might­ily
to change the world to
meet their dreams.
And such concern is good.
Our country is far from per­fect;
vigorous effort is re­quired
to correct the defects
of society, and genuine con­cern
is the first step.
The future of this country
belongs to those who are
strong enough and smart
enough to meet its demands.
And the youth of today are
growing up bigger, healthier
and better educated than were
their parents. This, coupled
with their genuine concern to
make the United States a
better place in which to live,
brightens the hope for a better
tomorrow.
But all too often the over­whelming
enthusiasm of to­day's
youth and their im­patience
with "the establish­ment"
touches off violence
and riots like those that
rocked Columbia University
last spring and the Democra­tic
convention in Chicago
this summer. Though most of
the participants were sin­cere
in their protestations,
some were actively seeking
to destroy our society and
create a new "establishment"
in their own image.
While motivated, to a large
degree, by genuine concern,
such disturbances accomp-tween
youth and the genera­tion
in power. In fact, be­cause
of such action, there
is growing distrust among
"the establishment" of any­one
under 30.
To insure domestic tran­quility
and achieve lasting
progress for our country, the
youth must learn to work with­in
the established framework
to reach their goals. The
American system, based on
the Constitution, offers plenty
of opportunity for social pro­test
with its guarantees of
free speech and press and
the right to petition the gov­ernment
for redress of griev-vances.
Much more can be accomp­lished
through peaceful dem­onstrations
and protests,
through intelligent criticism
and through well-conceived
plans for alleviating the ills
of society than can ever be
achieved through violence.
Constructive suggestions and
actions within society will
serve the dreams of youth far
better than will attempts to
overthrow the established
system and create a new
world.

7he fmpossib/e Dream'...
Time has come to meet
state's education needs
^Tj| By Winston Lett
J j j p f i i l / j Crusading for the cause of higher educa-mm%
mmmMnwm ^oa j n Alabama has become almost quixotic
in nature...in fact, one might say that its theme song is "The
Impossible Dream." Those who feel that higher education de­serves
this state's profound attention have often been looked
on disdainfully and treated contemptuously by Alabamians
occupying high political Qf h o w our educational in-position
and power.
In May of 1967, state Sen­ator
Alton Turner, chairman
of the Education Committee,
made the impromptu remark
that Dr. Frank Rose had "out­lived
his usefulness" as
president of the University
of Alabama. This insensible
remark backfired because Dr.
Rose's splendid record of
achievement spoke for itself.
This vituperative comment
seemed to set the stage be­tween
the legislators vs. the
educators when the time ar­rived
to cut the political pie
in Montgomery. After the
legislative session, how did
Alabama's biennium budget
allocation (1967-1968) for
higher education rank in com­parison
with other Southern
states?
The state of Florida in­creased
its appropriations to
higher education 34 per cent
(.from 51 million to 87 mil­lion)
over the comparable
figure for the preceding
biennium (1965-1967); Mis­sissippi
42 per cent (from 52
million to 78 million) and
North Carolina 42 per cent
(from 156 million to 221);
Alabama 44 per cent (from
81 million to 116 million;;
Tennessee 57 per cent (from
89 million to 137 million;;
South Carolina 64 per cent
(from 21 million to 35 million;;
and to the surprise of all
Georgia, under the sagacious
leadership of "Lester," in­creased
72 per cent (from 51
million to 87 million;. We
were not on rock bottom but
neither were we leading the
pack.
An examination of the facts
and figures will reveal an
appalling state of affairs as
far as. higher education in
Alabama is concerned. Au­burn
University is exemplary
stitutions have been treated
in the last two years. For
fiscal year lyb6-1967 Auburn
received $15,1UU.UUU in ap­propriations
reaching the
grand total of si5,bUl,UUU.
For fiscal year 1968-ly69
Auburn will have to operate
on the same amount that it
received the year before.
Auburn had requested $24
million and »25 million res­pectively
for the two fiscal
years. A conditional appro­priations
bill was passed in
the spring of 196/, allocating
an additional »bU0,0u0 to
Auburn each fiscal year for
the biennium if the funds
happened to be available
from an unexpected increase
in revenue. A candid conver­sation
with a university of­ficial
revealed that the ex­pected
increase in revenue
failed to occur and that Au­burn
will not receive any of
this conditional money.
So here we idealists sit
waiting for the day when a
legislature enlightened by
the pleas of Presidents Phil-pott
and Rose and others (if
we are indeed fortunate enough
not to lose them to other
states known for emphasiz­ing
the importance of higher
education) will act in the best
interest of the state's most
valuable resource, its youth.
Among these young people
are the exceptionally talented
and gifted-the very ones we
want to remain in Alabama.
The time for responsible
leadership has come. The
Education Study Commission,
under the chairmanship of
President Philpott, has been
studying the needs of educa­tion
in Alabama, and Gover­nor
Brewer has pledged him­self
to help meet these needs.

Urban problems
are roadblocks
to U.S. future
By Mike Watson
Today in the United States
our population is 75 per cent
urban with 39 of 50 states
having more than half of
their population living in
cities. It is projected that
in the next 20 to 30 years
three-fourths of the popula-lation
of the
entire world
will be in­volved
in the
urbanization
process. Dur­ing
the same
period, the
urban portion
of American
s o c i e t y
should in­crease
to nearly 80 per cent.
The majority of Auburn
students locate themselves
in an urban area upon gradua­tion,
whether in this section
of the country or another.
With three-fourths of our pop­ulation
in urban areas and
the amount growing every
day, what can you as an Au­burn
student expect from an
urban area when you graduate
and report for your first job?
Or is there anything to worry
about with regard to the rapid­ly
growing cities?
The problems of the cities
often center around the rest-lessness
of various minority
groups and the destruction
which this restlessness
brings, but there are many
other inadequacies which
contribute to the problems of
our metropolitan areas. Un­derdeveloped
transportation
systems, the proper funding
of municipal services, bring­ing
beauty and open space to
cities and the training of
professional and technical
personnel to administer city
services are just a few of
the many other crisis areas
which are rapidly growing
toward emergency proportions
in so many of our larger
cities.
It is with this in mind that
the 1969 Auburn Conference
on International Affairs pre­pares
to bring to the Auburn
campus and the southeastern
United States an informative
symposium on "the urban
crisis." What better place
is there than Auburn, in the
light of an intellectual atmos­phere,
whether real or not, to
discuss the problems which
face our cities?
There is certainly a limit
as to how many people our
cities can accomodate. But
where do we put those "for­tune-
seekers" who continue
to flock to the urban area
after that maximum has been
reached? We are going to
have to use the most talented
minds we have in order to i
reach a solution, and whether !
we are involved directly or j
not, we will all be affected by
these deficiencies until they |
are eliminated.
ACOIA '69 will make avail-able
some of the most out- '
standing authorities anywhere
pn "the urban crisis" but
the success of the conferetfce
will not be determined by
who speaks but by the in- j
terest of Aubum students in
what is said. The election
campaign has stimulated in­creased
discussion oh the
problems of our cities, and
these discussions have in­volved
those concerned di­rectly
within the next five
to ten years.
With this key issue to
play such an important part
in the lives of Americans,
the 1969 ACOIA will be fo­cused
on a domestic 'level
rather than international.
With continued emphasis on
the learning aspect, ACOIA
will be assembling one >of
the most outstanding dis­cussions
of the urban crisis
to be held in recent months.
It is in the city of tomor- J
row that man will work out g
his destiny. We will all con- 3
tribute, whether we realize '.[
it now or not, to the making 5;
of that destiny, and we can't :
afford for our efforts in that :
direction to be anything but J
intelligent ones. '.

Dear Dr. Philpott:
We, the undersigned student
council of the Auburn Wesley
Foundation, wish to take this
opportunity to voice our grave
concern over a matter of stu­dent-
university administration
relationships.
It is.our understanding that
Joe Bennett, Auburn student
recently arrested by the Lee
County Sheriff's Department
and charged with possession
of marijuana, has been brought
before the University judicial
committee which has, or is
now, considering his con­tinuance
as a student at
Auburn University. We believe
that the University procedure
set in motion in Mr. Bennett's
case and in scores of others

throughout the years is both
unfair and detrimental to the
University's educational
mission.
We fail to understand how
the University may validly
assess even an individual's
"involvement," not to speak
of his guilt, before an indict­ment
has been returned against
him. In the event that a stu­dent
so dismissed were ex­onerated
by a court of law,
the deprivation of even one
quarter's academic opportu­nity
would seem to us to be
morally indefensible and not
worthy of a university in our
American tradition.
Furthermore, we entertain
serious doubts that there is
any other criterion for ad­mission
or continuance in the
university other than academic
performance. Matters of
criminal justice, so defined
by the state, are matters
solely for the state and not
for the university. We enter­tain
the most serious doubts
about any model of the univer­sity
which grants to adminis­tration
or faculty the power
of dismissal for any offense
other than poor academic per­formance.
Since we feel that the
aforesaid matters are of grave
importance to Auburn Uni­versity
and to all who com­prise
its community we have
taken the liberty of sending
a copy of this letter to The
Plainsman in the hope that
its readership win be drawn
into the discussion of this
and similar issues.
We thank you for your con­sideration
of our thoughts
and earnestly hope that the
policy of the University will
be amended in the direction
of a more just model.

been) willing to jab "in loco
parentis" and "tradition"
and "administrative pater­nalism"
like so many lances
in a quixotic joust with
"evils" which hardly meet
the definition of that term.
Mr. Lehman begins by
stating that the "traditional
relationship" is undergoing
change and that Auburn "is
not to be excepted."
For goodness' sake, no!
Let us not suffer the iniquity
of being late, even though it
may mean making fewer mis­takes.
Let us not be doomed,
in this super-fast world, to
hear of other campus' great
strides (forward?) while we
are willing to question more
fuUy before we follow suit.
But to the point of the
editorial-
If he did nothing else, Mr.
Lehman managed to slip in
two points worthy of our (and
his) attention. One: "Com­plete
financial support of the
institution is not and should
not be borne by the student."
Rather deflates t he employer-employee
image he built up
before, does it not? He goes
on to say that society aids
in this financing for its own
betterment through the de­velopment
of the student.
And that society has a right
to expect something in return;
part of that something is that
the student is expected to
obey that society's rules or
be subject to discipline.;
And this, in part at least,
Mr. Lehman recognizes as he
makes his other worthy point:
"in order that the best in­terests
of the student be
served, certain disciplinary
rules are necessary to main­tain
the academic community,
just as laws are necessary
for an orderly society." But
after recognizing this, he
attempts to remove that prero­gative
for discipline from the
institution. He implies-nb, he
boldly states-that the exer­cising
of this disciplinary
power is counter to the rights
of the students. He equates
the taking of action "neces­sary
to maintain the academic
community" to a form of
double jeopardy. As he says,
"institutional authority
should not be used to dupli­cate
the function of the law
and the courts.';' It is not. It
provides for the university
organization a stability which
it would otherwise be lacking.
As for the "double jeo­pardy"
resulting from the
examination of a student's
official record, I hope Mr.
Lehman, recognizes that it
may be necessary, in an or­derly
society, for the indivi-;
dual to accept responsibility
for his actions. Just maybe.
If there is some pang of con-about
what society will find
out, there is a solution-don't
do it. Whatever action is tak
en by the school concerning a
student should be available
to those having occasion to
check the student's record; if
he is exonerated, that informa­tion
should be available, also.
The social injustices which
concern me do not include
the fact that there are forces
which would make clear and
public the truth or search
for the truth and explicate
proper placement of respon­sibility.
They do include 1.
acts which lead to there being
a record of which one might
be ashamed, and 2. those who
would attempt to relieve those
participating in such acts of
some or all responsibility
and some or all of the deserts
which the public expects and
a stable society requires.

Students appreciated
hearing Vanocur speech
Editor, The Plainsman:
Sitting in the crowded,
stuffy Student Activities
Building last Thursday night,
I experienced a kind of awe­some
pleasure, a significant,
gratifying pleasure, a rare
moment of wonder.
I felt proud, not so much
that Mr. Vanocur manifested
an acute understanding of
problems indigent to Ameri­can
democracy, nor that I
was listening to a man who
seemed to be seeking for and
telling the truth, but I was
proud mostly of Auburn Uni­versity
Students, whose stand­ing-
room-only attendance was
a tribute not only to our guest
but also to the student body
itself in its desire to become
informed about and involved
in the crises which the Ameri­can
people face.
And I was equally proud of
the demeanor of the students,
for they were a responsive
audience, an attentive au­dience
and a courteous au­dience.
And although politi­cal
divisions were apparent
at times during Mr. Vanocur's
lecture, there was the wonder­ful
absence of heckling, his­sing
and whooping and hol­lering.
No whistling and boo­ing.
No gestures of restless­ness
or disrespect. No charac­teristics
of chaos. And when
the audience seemingly dis­agreed
with Mr. Vanocur, they
still heard him out-and with
the utmost respect.
Now I don't mean to imply
that Auburn Students are cut-and-
dried conformists, but I
mean to state explicitly that
their conduct and their capa­city
for decency could very
well serve as a model of
decorum on many college
campuses. And if my percep­tion
is not too distorted, AU
has a damn good crop of kids-who
appreciate hearing a
brave man "teU it like it i s ."

Summer job, travel facts
available at student office
By LINDA MARCONTELL
New student government
programs to help with sum­mer
travel arid job infor­mation
are being planned.
Student travel informa­tion,
• including special
discount rates on vacation
resorts and tours, is avail­able
at the Student Body
Office, said John Drummond,
superintendent of summer
jobs and travel. The Travel
Department hopes to have
student identification cards
made for travel discount pur­poses.
The committee also plans
to supply students with an
employment resume to be
filled out several weeks prior
to summer vacation.; The
resume and a form letter ex­plaining
the program will be
sent to the student's local
unemployment office.
"Once unemployment agen­cies
are familiar with the
program Auburn students
should be given priority over
summer jobs," said Drum­mond.
Texas extends
women curfews
ByDmUm
This week 'On Other Campuses' takes a quick look at
incidents occurring at colleges across the nation,
The University of Texas has changed women's week-night
curfews to midnight and weekend curfews to 2 a.m.
The University of Bridgeport and the University of Mis­souri
have given "key privileges'" to women students.
This permits the sophomore, junior and senior students
with parental permission to come in at any hour they
wish.
At Louisiana State University the annual trek by fresh­men
to the first home football game clad in pajamas
was cancelled by the student body president.. .Note
taking is also dying at LSU as class notes are being
sold for 20 cents a copy in the university book store.
FREE UNIVERSITY
The YMCA at Mississippi State plans a free univer­sity
offering courses in classical Greek, church history
and acid-rock music.. .One homecoming queen candidate
at State topped campaigners this week with a life size
poster picture of herself clad only in a bikini bottom...
KUDZU, a statewide underground newspaper reached
the Ole Miss, Miss. State, Southern Mississippi and
Millsaps campuses for the first time this fall.
The University of Georgia's newly reorganized Health
Service has a mental health division staffed by three
full time psychiatrists.. .Washington State has given
incoming freshmen the option to take 18 hours of courses
on a pass-fail basis during their stay at the university...
It has been discovered that the University of Alabama
Student Government Association overspent its budget by
$15,280.47 last year. ;
CONCERN FOR NEGROES
Students, faculty and administration officials at the
University of Virginia are embroiled over university
policies concerning the recruitment of Negroes at the
University, the social isolation of black students and
housing discrimination in the Charlottesville area...
The Martin Luther King Action Movement at LSU is
studying the feasibility of fraternity and sorority
"colonies" on campuses for black students.
Seventy-five University of New Hampshire students
protested the induction of a full-time student and the
lack of an on-campus draft counseling service with a
half-hour silent vigil in the middle of the University
campus.
Human nature will not change
In any future great national

of this, we shall have as weak
and as strong, as silly and
as wise, as bad and as good.

Don't take any bets on it, but 18 years or so from now,
Auburn's starting tailback may be a South Korean who
j kicks soccers style and speaks with a North Alabama
accent. But if something like this should happen, you
can bet that the South Korean tailback will be wearing
jersey number 23.
The would-be tailback is Eddie Kim, who's only two
and a half years old. But little Eddie has a head start
on most other two and a half-year-old tailbacks in Amer-jj
ica; he has Auburn tailback Mike Currier for a neighbor,
; coach, and all-around pal.

Tiger Topics
By Richard Wiftish
Sports Editor
Southeastern Conference football circles. Mike has been
Auburn's big running threat so far this year, gaining
154 yards and scoring three times in three games.
Currier has acquired a lot of fans with his quick, hard-running
style, but his fondest admirer could probably
care less about yards gained rushing or touchdowns
scored. Eddie Kim is more concerned about Mike Currier,
all-around pal.
After all, Mike is the fellow who's taught Eddie to
speak English, North Alabama fashion; showed him how
to make a muscle, and convinced him that barbers are
human and haircuts don't hurt. Not everybody would do
that, not even a pal.
"I got to know Eddie when I came to school this
summer," says Mike. "I got married in June (to the for­mer
Diane Frutiger), and we moved into an apartment in
Caroline Draughon Village. Eddie lived upstairs. I wasn't
doing much except going to classes, and after classes
I'd come home and spend five or six hours with Eddie,
playing with him and taking him for rides in the car.
"I've always liked children, and they seem to like me
a lot. It was harder to get to know Eddie than most kids.
I kept some candy around, started teaching him some
English words, and pretty soon he was eating meals
TIGERS PRESENT NO. 23 SHOWS RUNNING FORM
Currier moves through Kentucky line
with us. He'd cry when his mother came to take him
home."
Eddie had problems with his English before he be­came
friends with Mike. His mom and dad spoke Korean
around their apartment, and Eddie confused his lang­uages
much of the time. But Mike straightened him out,
and in a month's time Eddie was saying "Mike,"
"Diane," "mommy" and "daddy."
Currier is also the only person who's been successful
in getting Eddie to go to the barber's and sit still.
Three barbers for Eddie
"Eddie's mom said it took three barbers to hold him
down while he was'getting his hair cut," says Mike,
"so I told her to let me take him for a haircut. He didn't
like it the first time, but the third time I took him he sat
still and even seemed to enjoy himself."
Mike has also been teaching Eddie to throw and catch
a football.
"We were playing with a golf ball one day and Eddie
threw it to me pretty well," says Mike. "I figured I'd
better buy him a rubber ball before he broke something."
Eddie now flings a rubber football about half the size
of the real thing Currier carries under his arm on Sat­urdays
and during practices. He also has a blue jersey
with the numeral "23" on it.
"We are very glad that Eddie has a friend like Mike,"
says Eddie's dad, Joongsik Kim, a native of Seoul,
Korea who's studying for a Master's degree in agricul­tural
economics.
' 'Eddie seems to like athletes," says him mom, Heisoon,
who holds a Master's degree from New York University
in fashion designing. "When someone comes to visit us
now, he throws his football to them. If they drop it or
don't throw it back to him, he usually leaves the room."
Although the Kims will probably return to Korea in a
few years, Mr. Kim would like to send his son to Auburn
when Eddie is ready for college.
And it's likely that Eddie will be an athlete, too. Only
he'll probably grow up playing soccer instead of football,
like his dad, a soccer player in high school and college.
And Eddie's already had a scholarship offer of sorts.
Auburn offensive coach George Atkins, seeing Eddie at
practice one day, joked about such an offer.
So maybe 18 years from now, a Korean named Kim will
be leading the Tigers' in rushing, wearing number 23 on
his back.
BUDDY McCLINTON SHOWS REFEREE THAT JOHN RILEY'S FG IS GOOD
Ref takes cue on 'Rat's' 47-yarder, one of four which broke SEC record
Tigers to a 26-7 win over the
the Wildcats in Lexington.
Auburn, not noted for win­ning
in the Wildcat's den at
night, was stifled on four
touchdown drives, but Riley
came in and put four balls
through the crossbars (not
counting the ones put through
on the kick offs) and tacked
12 points on the scoreboard.
"The Good Lord must have
been with me," said Riley,
the humble junior from Abbe­ville.
"Everything was going
so well and the enthusiasm
was so high. The snaps .holds,
and blocking were great."
SEC RECORD
In kicking his four field
goals Riley set a new South­eastern
Conference record.
"I didn't know I had set a
record until somebody poked
me," said Riley of his un-awareness
of the record.
In addition to Riley's of­fensive
punch, the Auburn
defense continually stacked
up the Kentucky offense, hold­ing
them to only 177 yards
total offense and scoring six
points on a blocked punt by
Ron Yarbrough in the end
zone.
"It was a cool night, we
felt good and we needed the
game," commented Harold
Ham, a defensive end stand­out.
"It was just something
you could feel. Everybody was
trying to get the ball on every
play. I guess the key to our
success was that we played
as a unit with every man
rushing and not just one."
Although Auburn only scored
one touchdown from an of­fensive
set, they drove the
ball with relative ease from

By BILL BEEMER
If Auburn is to win the
"Battle of the Tigers" and
come out with its third
straight victory, • it must
conquer another outstand­ing
running back and beat
the jinx of Death Valley.
In Buddy Gore, the Clem-son
Tigers have another in the
string of top-flight running
backs that Auburn must face
this year. Gore has averaged
9 0 yards per game in his first
two years.
In Clemson's first game
this year, he bulled for 95
yards as the Tigers tied Wake
Forest, 20-20. Gore rushed
for 67 yards in Clemson's
31-13 loss to Georgia. He
picked up 135 yards against
Georgia Tech last Saturday,
but Clemson lost again, 24-21.
He is a highly versatile
runner who runs with both
power and speed. Once Gore
reaches the secondary, he is
a definite threat to go all the
way. He also returns kickoffs
with a high degree of success.
In addition to Gore, the
other Tigers have other capa­ble
leather luggers. Rick
Medlin is the fullback, and
he is a good short yardage
runner. Charley Waters, the
quarterback, is not afraid to
carry the ball either. He oper-opportunities

who harrassed the Auburn de­fense
last year with his roll­outs

As far as the rushing de­fense
goes, the Tigers figure
to be tough. Eight of last

defense, and defense has got­ten
to be a trademark of coach
Frank Howard. The South
Carolinians give ground yard­age
grudgingly, if at all.

one big factor going for them

That is the fact that the game

Of the Auburn Tigers
Since the Auburn football
team has already played
two consecutive road games,
the question might be asked,
"Does this have any men­tal
affect on the team?"
Sometimes a team might
have this trouble, but as
Coach Jordan has mentioned
several times, the fields at
other schools are the same
size as ours.
Auburn must go traveling
again this week to Greenville,
S.C. to meet a tough Clemson
team in famed'' Death Valley.''

on the road.
Since the road trips are
spread out and the players
always have at least a week
to rest before embarking again,
I don't think there is any such
thing as "'road fatigue."
"Road fatigue" is caused by
the continuous day to day
traveling such as a baseball
team does on it's road trips.
Clemson's coaching staff,
led by head coach Frank How­ard,
believes he has a much
better team than their 0-2-1
record shows. Coach Howard
said after their last Saturday's
24-21 loss to Georgia Tech,
that he didn't feel like the
best team won. The Sunday
Columbus Ledger-Enquirer
stated that offensive leader
Buddy Gore challenged the
Clemson team after their heart-breaking
loss to Tech, to
"buckle down and get this
man some victories," (patting
Coach Howard as he spoke).
I think this might have an
affect on the morale of the
Clemson team. Instead of be­ing
low alter two consecutive
losses, their morale will prob­ably
be uplifted due to this
challenge.
Auburn" s strategy for this
game will be to stop a very
strong Clemson running at­tack
which rolled up 229 yards
rushing against Tech.
The man behind this run­ning
game is, of course, tail­back
Buddy Gore, who gained
135 yards against the Jackets.
Gore can be classed with
Jerry Levias of Southern
Methodist and Dickie Lyons
of Kentucky as-far a s being a
threat goes.
Florida frosh drub Baby Tigers
in 54-17 offensive battle
By REED EDWARDS
In a wide-open offensive
battle Monday in Gaines­ville,
< Fla.,;< the Florida
freshmen defeated Auburn's
Baby Tigers, 54-17.
The Baby Gators relied on
their many-talented backs,
Tommy Durrance, Andy
Cheney, and Mike Rich, and
ends Carlos Alvarez and Bill
Dowdy to trounce the Tiger
Cubs.
Auburn had some outstand­ing
offensive players also-quarterback
Pat Sullivan, end
Terry Beasley, and running
back Paul Scott-but not near­ly
as many as Florida. As a
result, the Tigers could not
keep up with Florida's " touch­down
every time you handle
the ball" pace.
Auburn was first to score,
on a 22-yard field goal by
Jim Tyler that was set up by
runs of 18 and 13 yards by
Scott and a 44-yard Sullivan
to Beasley pass.
Florida came back to score
twice on the running of Dur­rance,
the passing of John
Reeves and receiving of Al­varez.
Auburn's Scottie Elam ran
the second Gator Kickoff
back to Auburn's 40-yard line.
From there, Sullivan fired a
60-yard bomb to Beasley who
went all the way for six
points. Jim Tyler's PAT made
it, 14-10, Florida.
Florida's second string
quarterback John Schnebly
promptly threw a bomb to Al­varez
to add seven points to
the Florida total. Thirteen
more points were added on a
run by Durrance, and an in­terception
return by Gary
Kadrick. <
PAT BLOCKED
The last extra point attempt
was blocked by Auburn's Hal
Maloof. An interference pen­alty
and a one-yard plunge
by Mike Rich gave Florida
seven more points.
The Baby Gators scored
13 more points in the fourth
quarter. Once again the extra
point attempt was blocked by
Tiger standout Maloof.
The final Auburn touchdown
came on a two-yard run by
Scott. .

Its not often
an engineer
gets to
design
a company.
When he does, he tends to take care
of his own kind.
He designs a company that is
. one heck of a good place for an
engineer to work.
You can tell LTV Aerospace Corporation
is an engineering oriented company.
The ratio of engineers to
everybody else is exceptionally high.
The computer support is tremendous.
The Robert McCulloch research
laboratory is the newest and one of the
finest big labs in the country.
L--r\s Ai
The engineer who wants to be a
technical specialist here can do as well
as the engineer who gets into
administration.
The engineer who wants to keep
working on an advanced degree can
do it right here.
And the projects: they range from deep
space to the ocean floor—military
and commercial aircraft, V/STOL;
launch vehicles; extra vehicular
activity research and development; high
mobility ground vehicles; missile
systems; computer, technical and
management services.
No question about it: the engineers
at LTV Aerospace are taking care of
themselves.
An LTV Aerospace representative will
tell you how to get in on it.

Tech must stop Vols in air, on land
By MIKE ANDERSON
If the pass happy Georgia
Tech Yellow Jackets are
to defeat the Tennessee
Vols at Atlanta's Grant
Field Saturday, • they will
have to stop the Big Orange
boys on the ground and in the
air.
8 Southeastern Conference
"bower Tennessee doesn't
have this problem in facing
Around the SK
southern independent Tech.
They need only stop the
Jackets through the air, for
the Engineers' running attack
is practically non-existent.
Overall, Tennessee is
much deeper, stronger and
more experienced than sopho­more-
rich Tech. I pick the
1/pls to defeat Tech by at
least a touchdown.
^-: GROUND TECH
>But to do so, Tennessee
will have to ground the
Jackets.
j Quarterback Larry Good
makes Tech go when he can
get the ball to speedy flanker
John Sias, tight end Joel
Stevenson and split end Tim
Woodall. Sias is a potential
all-America who tends to
shake up people whenever
he gets loose. Last year he
caught a 65-yard touchdown
bomb against Auburn.
Tech could make a great
game of it if its passing
clicks and its defense finishes
growing up, as it has been
d o i n g in 17-7 and 24-21
victories over Texas Christian
and Clemson and a 10-7 loss
to Miami.
TOO INEXPERIENCED?
But Tech's defense may be
too inexperienced for the Vols'
offense, which is led by quar­terback
Bubba Wyche, an
Atlanta boy who gets a chance
to show the hometown folks
what he can do.
What he can do best is
rally his team to peak efforts
in crucial situations. He was
the man of the hour in last
year's defeat of Alabama as a
third-string quarterback thrown
into action against one of the
nation's toughest defenses.

Wyche cooly led the Vols, as
he did in Tennessee's open­ing
game with Georgia.
When all seemed lost, with
Georgia leading by eight
points and time running out,
Wyche took the Vols down the
field into touchdown range,
was thwarted on two passing
attempts, and then, with five
seconds left in the game,
calmly passed to split end
Gary Kreis for six points.
He then threw to tight end
Kenny Delong for a two-point
conversion which tied the
game, 17-17, after the final
gun had long fired.
TWO MORE VICTORIES
Since then, the Wyche-led
Vols have beaten Memphis
State, 24-17, and crushed
Rice, 52-0.
Around the rest of the SEC,
Alabama will regain its winn­ing
ways against Vanderbilt;
Florida will sock it to Tulane;
Georgia will defeat Ole Miss

Louisiana State will squeak

OTS upsets Snakes;
Betas blast SAE
By ED RUZIC
If the first day of intra­mural
competition was any
indication of the rest of the
season, it's going to be a
great quarter for up-to-now
obscure football teams and
a horrible quarter for some of
the big name fraternities.;
A lot of people saw what
they had been looking forward
to for a long time when OTS
beat Sigma Nu, 20-0. Veteri­narian
quarterback Don Steen
conducted major surgery on the
Snakes and cut them up like
they have never been cut up
before.
STEEN SPEAKS
Steen, a newcomer to intra­mural
football, said of the
victory, "I didn't know what
to expect from Sigma Nu, but
one thing is for sure, our
linemen won the game for
u s ."
That's a typical statement
from the kind of guy who is
going to conduct a lot of suc­cessful
operations for OTS.;
The Speedy Runts of Beta
Theta Pi are going to be a
team to watch in League 2.
They don't look large physi­cally
on the field, but ask an
SAE what kind of football
they play. He'll answer to
the tune of an 18-0 defeat..
The Lamda Chi's started
out a hectic season by de­feating
a heartbroken Theta
Xi squad on the last play of
overtime. At the end of regu­lation
play the score was 6-6.

three of their overtime plays
Chi had no yards. On the last
play of the game, Stan Bryant
hit David Gample on a 23-
yard pass play and with a ten
yard penalty tacked on, the
Lamda Chi's won one of their
greatest victories, 33 yards to
9 yards.
Unheralded George Dorer
helped pave the way for Delta

the biggest surprise of the
day by whipping always-tough
Alpha Psi, 26-0. From

DCs gave out a few licks
while stomping TKE, 20-0.
Rick Stafford saved the day
for the Sigma Chi's when he
picked off a fourth quarter

scrambling 20-18 victory, and

Students must register
in home county to vote
Non-resident students
may not register to vote in
Lee County as long as
they are attending the Uni­versity.
Title 17, Article 2, Sec­tion
17 of 'The Code of
Alabama" defines residence
as "living in the state 12
consecutive months, apart
from attendance at any insti­tution
of higher learning."
Students who are non-resi­dents
of Lee County wishing
to vote must do so by absen­tee
ballot.
Defining the code of Ala­bama
in a memorandum con­cerning
non-residency. Regis­trar
Albert F. Killian stated,
"No person who is once regis­tered
as a non-resident stu­dent
shall be considered to
have gained legal residence
in Alabama by virtue of hav­ing
attended a college or uni­versity
in this state." The
memorandum was prompted by
the fact that married students
who have lived in Auburn and
attended the University for
one year or fore have tried
to register in Lee County
courthouse but have been re­fused
because they are stu­dents.
"While a'tending a college
or university, a student may
not acquire the status of be
ing legally domiciled in Ala­bama
regardless of job, pay
ment of taxes, purchase of
tags, licenses, or other re
quisements incumbent upon
any person residing in the
state," Killian said.
Further residence require­ments
for legal registration
in a county in Alabama include
residence in the state for one
year and residence in the
county for six months prior
to the time of registration.
According to Killian, many
students paying out-of-state
fees at Aubum for one year
claim legal residency and
AU co-op students
earn $1,300,000
Auburn co-operative stu­dents
last year earned $1,-
300,000 to help defray col­lege
expenses, according to
Frank Vandegrift, director of
the co-operative education
program.
This summer around 620
students were enrolled in the
program and 200 new students
have been accepted this quar­ter
for placement in posi­tions
with various employers,
according to Vandegrift.
The program which com­bines
professional experience
with academic study was re­cently
expanded to include
26 curricula.
Students in education, arts
and sciences, engineering,
business, pharmacy, agricul­ture
and architecture may
now participate in the pro­gram.
"We now have students
working as far away as Wash
ington, Detroit, New Orleans
and the South Atlantic is­lands,"
said Vandegrift.
Students work in nuclear
plants, aerospace and air­craft
industries, vocational
rehabilitation center, busi­ness
firms, school systems
and 18 government agencies.
The program is open to
both men and women students,
although only about 30 women
are now involved in the pro­gram.
Auburn is one of 134 uni­versities
and colleges offer­ing
the co-operative educa­tion
program to students.

University and Community form a unique interrelationship
comes from individual students through business with
Auburn merchants.
"Although we do not have valid statistics on how
much the i n d i v i d u a l student brings into Auburn, a
national survey indicates that an average student adds
from $500 to $600 yearly to the college town," Moreman
said. "This would be my guess for Auburn."
Based on a $550 estimate per student a 14,000 member
student body would contribute about $8,000,000 to the
city economy yearly.
Students pay city sales and excise taxes and many
students pay for garbage collection and off-campus
housing. Some also pay traffic fines.
According to the Auburn Report on Examination, 1967
gross receipt taxes totaled $193,727. Also gasoline tax
amounted to $63,384; cigarette tax-$33,308; beer tax-
$50,564; and parking meter collections totaled $15,421.
Traffic fines and forfeitures totaled $67,734 and garbage
collection fees amounted to $133,954. These figures
are for the year-round entire city population, but stu­dents
make up about half of this total.;
According to the city audit, total city revenue in 1967
was $1,311,647. The taxes, fees and fine collections
listed previously total about $558,000. These figures
indicate that the city government derives a large amount
of revenue from students and faculty members.
"The city is the college," said Jack Housch, Junior
Chamber of Commerce treasurer. "The city is made up
of the university and you can't get along without the
businessmen and the businessmen can't get along with-

out the college. But it would be a little nicer if there
was a better attitude.
"I think, however, that more of the businessmen should
participate in the affairs of the university and under­stand
it better," he said. "Bring the businessmen and
professors together in civic clubs and they get to know
each other. We are not doing enough of this."
"The biggest problem is that the university is made
up of people and problems arise among the people,"
Housch said. "They are transient and do not stay here
long enough to build a loyalty to the community. In some
cases there is the attitude among students that 'They
are out to get me* rather than 'What can I add to the
community'."
A solution for improvement of city-university rela­tions
was offered by Tom Pullen, Jaycee vice-president.
"The town depends entirely too much on the school
for its livelihood," said Pullen. "Auburn has very little
industry and this is wlfy we are trying to get more into
the town. This may be the answer."
"Some businessmen seem to hate to depend entirely
upon the students for their income." Pullen said. "Basi­cally
the price structure here is higher than normal and
this is due to the student market.';'
Auburn University is growing by leaps and bounds.
But the city must also grow to keep up with the demands
made upon it by the university.

spring and physically rubbed shoulders with the council
and had the privilege of the floor. This bothered people
because of the legal niceities of it. There is no pro­vision
to provide for ex-officio members except the
mayor. This sets the student aside as a special class of
privileged person. Any group that felt it was a special
class could then demand and receive equal treatment. I
look on a student as a citizen just as much as a pro­fessor
who has been here 25 years. Any such citizen
