"The Indian Captive" is
based on the story of a young

summer classes for
about 20 children, ages eight to
15. Classes are divided into
two groups which meet every
Tuesday and Thursday from
10:30 a.m. to 12 noon.
"The primary purpose of the
classes is not for perfor­mances,"
said Comeau, "but
to get children on the stage
and interested in theatre. We
encourage them to improvise
much of their acting in class."

I was at Auburn."
Concerning agricultural edu­cation,
Congressman Nichols
feels that a demand for"specia
lized farm managers" will in­crease
in the next few years
and as a result Auburn- will
graduate "more agricultural
majors than ever before." This
is due to the continuing trend
toward larger farms which will
require management people
trained in such fields as poul­try
and dairy production Nichols
explained.
Congressman Nichols re­ceived
a commission in the U.S.
Army through Auburn ROTC in
1942, and was a decorated war
veteran in the European Theatre.
He was wounded in the Battle
of Hertgen Forest, Germany in
1944, and was retired from Wal­ter
Reed Army Hospital in 1947
as a Captain.
Nichols was elected to the
State House of Representatives
in 1959, and to the State Senate
in 1963. In 1965, the Capitol
Press Corps voted him the Most
Outstanding Member of the Sen­ate
in recognition of his ser­vice
as Administration Floor
Leader for Governor George
Wallace.
He has been a prominent
figure in Alabama agriculture
for over 20 years. He was named
"Man of the Year in Alabama
Agriculture" in 1965 by Pro­gressive
Farmer Magazine. He
served for 15 years as a member
cation.
Nichols was elected to the
United States Congress in 1966,
and has served as a member of
the House Committee on Agri­culture.
Congressman Nichols is mar­ried
to the former Carolyn Fun-derburk
of Dadeville. They have
three children: Memorie, a stu­dent
and majorette at Auburn
University; Margaret, a senior
at Sylacauga High School; and
Flynt, who attends Sylacauga
Schools.
He is a member of the First
Methodist Church. He is also a
member of the American Legion,
VFW, Disabled American Vet­erans,
Shrine, and Masons.

Trustee Bill Nichols:
another opportunity to serve
A political tradition.
The appointment of U.S. Rep. Bill
Nichols to the Board of Trustees heralds
the beginning of a new opportunity for
him again to serve Auburn well-an op­portunity
we feel confident the Congress­man
will use to the utmost.
Nichols began his service to Auburn
as an active student leader. He was cap­tain
of the 1940 football team and a
member of Scabbard and Blade and Blue
Key while earning his Bachelor's and
Master's Degrees in Agriculture. The
native Sylacaugan again proved his
loyalty and devotion to his alma mater
during four terms in the State Legisla­ture.
And since winning a seat in the
House of Representatives in 196G he
has gained a national perspective of
higher education which will prove an
invaluable aid to future Board decisions.
The man Nichols replaces, Edgar L.
Wynn, has served the University with
quiet distinction; surely he has the
thanks of all those who share his con­cern
for Auburn's welfare.
Entertainment experiment
The Popular Entertainment Committee
in making use of a fund surplus from the
regular school year is experimenting
with bringing first-rate entertainment to
Auburn during the summer. Sergio Mendes
and Brasil '66, an excellent bossa nova
group, will appear Tuesday night pro­viding
a welcome break to die monotony
of classes for the entertainment starved
Auburn student.
Those of you who complain about Au­burn
being a dull place during the sum­mer
will no longer be able to gripe if
you do not make an extra effort to hear
the group. And if the event is well at­tended
then similar programs will prob­ably
be scheduled for future summers.
Only your support will make the com­mittee's
experiment a success.
Old dogs and new tricks
One gets the feeling that Charles de
Gaulle, France's unpredictable Presi­dent,
spends many sleepless nights con­juring
up new ways to fool the "exper­ienced
observers" of his political man­euvers.
And suddenly, to the "observers"
great surprise, he has again triumphed.
This week he replaced Premier
Georges Pompidou, long considered his
hand groomed successor, with Maurice
Couve de Murville, a relatively unknown
but exceptionally faithful civil servant.
Now, we fail to understand how the
"observers" missed the signs that
Pompidou was through; after all, he had
just finished managing the highly touted
election campaign which gave the Gaul-lists
the largest party majority ever won
in the National Assembly. Furthermore,
Pompidou was widely praised for his
handling of the May crisis.
However, since the "experienced ob­servers"
have not yet hazarded a guess
as to the reasons behind De Gaulle's
typical political move, we will simply
say, contrary to popular belief some old
dogs obviously do leam new tricks.

Accurate or not,
polls are here to stay
By Joe Lehman
Although the primaries have passed and
the power struggle for the votes of conven­tion
delegates necessary" for the major party's presidential
nomination is now behind the scenes the pulse of the Amer­ican
voter's opinion is still being measured. Groups of profes­sional
polltakers daily canvass the land plotting the unsteady
curve of public opinion....
opinion which may influence
the outcome of the August
conventions.
Paradoxically, the two cand­idates
who currently score the
best in polls, Eugene McCar­thy
and Nelson Rockefeller,
also score the worst in dele­gate
strength counts. However,
these same polls (an example
is the Quayle poll which gave
McCarthy 32 per cent in the
Oregon primary where he actu­ally
claimed 45 per cent) fail-,
ed to accurately predict the
results of any of the recent
primaries. These contradic­tions
leave the influence and
accuracy of the polls open to
question.
The polls obviously influ­ence
public opinion even if
their influence sometimes
works in strange ways. The
American public pays attention
to poll results because pro-problems
for the survey analy­zers.
Often campaigns, parti­cularly
heated ones, climax
during the last few days and
the undecided voters finally
make up their minds. Despite
the careful calculations of
the pollsters, which give
each candidate a proportionate
amount of the undecided vote
according to his showing
among the decided vote,
voters just don't seem to
react according to any mathe­matical
formulas.;
Even when these problems
of the pollsters are recog­nized
one still realizes that
a reasonably accurate poll
cannot hope to predict the
outcome of a really tight race.
Their three per cent inherent
margin of error leaves more
than enough voters to swing
even a small state election.
But undeniably the polls
have come of age. The record
fessional politicians have of pollsters in recent national
taken such strong stock in
them. According to critics of
the polls this tends to create a
"bandwagon effect" where
the undecided part of the
electorate joins the winning
side. However, the fact is
the undecided voters tend to
favor the underdog in what
must be an outgrowth of the
American idea that the under­dog
is the "good guy." The
publication of poll results
usually has some effect on
public opinion but the effect
is to tighten up the race rather
than to create a landslide for
the poll winner.;
Although the influence of
the polls cannot be denied,
the accuracy of the polls is
rather erratic.
The top survey firms today
claim that their polls are
accurate within three per cent
and according to mathematical
probability their claim is
valid 95 times out of a hund­red
with a selection of 1,500
people polled at random.
However, there are some
factors which the pollsters
and their mathematics cannot
take into account especially
in primaries and on election
eve. Despite the assured ac­curacy
of probability laws the
polling procedure is highly
speculative.
Primaries are the pollster's
worst enemies for the simple
fact that a minor impetus can
turn an expected light turnout
of voters into a heavy one,
change a nonvoter into a voter
and cause many voters to
switch from one candidate to
another or from one party to
another. This is why the poll­ster's
records have been
spotty in this year's primaries.
Election eve also creates
elections has been unusually
and although they are never a
sure bet they seem to be well
entrenched in the American
way of conducting politics.
So as this election year
rolls on, the pollsters will
stay on their beats hoping to
accurately predict November's
results.
"We must remember not to
judge any public servant by
any one act, and especially
should we beware of attack­ing
the men who are merely
the occasions and not the
causes of disaster."

Summer madness. . .
Holiday camping
provides no rest
for the weary
By Katie Jones
Whew! It's good to be back
at school!
What madness would prompt
a statement like that?
I left Auburn last Wednes­day
afternoon without so much
as a backward glance. I was
eager to get home for a rest.
I never
made it in the
back door.
Four other
members of my
family whisk­ed
me into a
car crammed
with camping
equipment.!
They were ea­ger
to get a-way
from home for a rest.
I was escaping from studies,
they from the kids down the
street and their brawling par­ents.
We arrived at the lakeside
campsite at dusk. Several
thousand other people had ar­rived
before us. The kids from
down the street were now three
tents down the shoreline. So
were their brawling parents.
Emerging reluctantly from
the car I summoned all the
enthusiasm I could muster and
refused to admit that "rough­ing
it" wasn't exactly the
type of relaxation I craved at
the moment.
The camping area was some­what
cramped. My two able
Boy Scout brothers erected the
tents with professional de­liberation,
exercising care
not to step in the neighboring
campfires.
At supper I satisfied my
ravenous appetite with half a
Holsum bun and a cup of wa­ter,
leaving most of my food
in hopes the mosquitoes (who
had by now bitten over 50 per
cent of my body) would turn
their undivided attention to
hamburgers and potato salad.
I quickly bathed myself with
insect repellant. It worked.
The mosquitoes loved it. They
came on in battalions.
Upon close investigation of
my sleeping quarters I acci-dently
stumbled over my tent-mates-
a two-foot hill of red
ants.
Not wanting to disturb my
overnight guests I stayed up
later than usual. The light
was just creeping over the
eastern horizon when I wear­ily
gave up and turned in.
Lying there waiting for
merciful sleep, I lamented
the lengths to which mortals
will go to make themselves
miserable. In spite of the con­stant
drone of roadway and
waterway traffic shattering the
damp night air, I fell into a
fitful sleep.
Eons later I found myself
locked in a dusty cage in the
Timeless Desert, prisoner of
the Earthbound Ant Colony.
Agonizing silence surrounded
me. My nearest neighbors were
galaxies away and space
travel was undreamed of. Soli­tude
had been achieved.

Human rights: U.S. must
lead fight against apathy
by KSke Watson
The 1968 Auburn Conference on Inter­national
Affairs focused its attention on the
international struggle for human rights. It would seem that
this International Year for Human Rights is the time to exa­mine
what progress has been made by the United Nations,

and freedom Cor everyone.
There have been a number
of conventions called by the
United Nations to deal with
violations of particular rights
and to attempt to get coun­tries
to adopt laws and
practices dealing with hu­man
rights. Exactly one
month after ACOIA was held,
the members of the Assembly
for Human Rights, met in
Montreal, Canada, to "ex­press
profound concern about
the condition of human rights
in this year of international
crisis and to explore the
ways in which mankind's
shared aspirations to human
dignity can become a
reality."
It was my privilege, to
hear the president of the
Montreal Assembly, Chief
S.O. Adebo, under secretary-general
of the United Nations,
speak at the UN on June 10.
This former UN permanent
representative from Nigeria
expressed hope that the In­ternational
Year for Human
Rights, while it will cer­tainly
not rid the world of
its injustices, will make
people everywhere partici­pate
in a common effort to
eradicate indifference to the
social problems of the world.
Wljat has the United States
done in this common effort?
At the start of the UN's strug­gle
for human rights in 1948,
the U.S. was in the forefront.
It was US. leadership, personi­fied
by Mrs. Eleanor Roose­velt,
which helped bring the
Universal Declaration of
Human Rights into being.
Since that time, other nations
have been ratifying the con­ventions,
workshops of UN
activity, but not the US. Out
of the 122 member nations of
the UN only seven besides
ourselves have failed to ratify
any human-rights convention
sponsored by the UN. A great
deal of impetus could be
given this international strug­gle
if the United States would
officially back the efforts of
the United Nations.
As citizens of the wealth­iest
nation in the world it is
often difficult for Americans
to recognize some of the pro­blems
which exist elsewhere
in the world. For example, 78
countries have some form of
forced labor, 69 supplement
their work force with slavery,
74 lack complete freedom of
association and 71 are geno-cidal
in nature. It. is true
that many of these practices
are built into traditional poli­tical,
social and religious
customs.; But it is also true
that in almost every case the
countries, guilty of these
The United States has an
especially important respon­sibility
to the UN and the
world. The oppressed of the
world are watching the ef­forts
of the Negro to achieve
social acceptance and human
dignity in the United States,
the "land of the free and the
home of the brave." While the
weaker countries of the "third
world" must surely play their
part in the fight for human
rights it is the more power­ful
nations, like the United
States, which must eventually
take the lead in this struggle.
A desire to take the very
difficult and demanding lead
in this struggle was one mo­tive
responsible for the de­liberations
at Montreal. The
Montreal Assembly considered
such issues as non-discrim­ination,
apartheid, slavery,
refugees, civil and political
rights and economic and so­cial
rights. But the scientific
age has added new complica­tions
to an already difficult
fight. New areas of concern
are the right to civil disobe­dience,
the electronic menace
to the right of privacy, new
developments in medicine and
biology and their impact upon
human rights and the protec­tion
of non-combatants in war
torn areas.
The past decade has seen
small but significant strides
made concerning international
awareness of the infractions
of human rights considered at
Montreal. But what will the
next ten years bring in this
quest for human rights?
The Montreal Assembly and
others like it can never hope
to grant or gain "...the equal
rights of men and women and
of nations large and small..."
as declared in the UN charter
if there is no personal com­mittment
from each world citi­zen
who enjoys freedom and
dignity. It will take individual
concern and reevaluation, not
legislation or statements like
those issued at Montreal if
those who lack some basic
freedom are to ever hope to
gain mutual respect in our
world society.
The men who gathered at
Montreal and those who meet
at UN headquarters in New
York are to be commended for
the manner in which they have
opened the eyes of the re­sponsible.
But there is much
more to be done than mere
eye-opening and it involves
each one of us. There is no
place for apathy in this strug­gle
and the consciences of the
unconcerned must be stirred
with the realization that there
is a close interrelationship
between world peace and the
fight for human rights.

Surface Irritation
(Thoughts conjured up on a controversial subject
whilst former sports editor Guy Rhodes and I mused over
the situation. A word of thanks to Guy for his comments,
some of which appear here.)
The recent controversy over the using of Tartan arti­ficial
grass has created a feud between the Universities
of Georgia and Tennessee. You might say it is a feud
originating at the grass roots level.
In case you haven't heard, Tennessee is "planting"
artificial grass in Neyland Stadium and the Bulldogs don't
like it. And you really can't blame them.
They played Houston in the Astrodome last year and
the grass used there is the same type stuff Tennessee
wants to use. Georgia coach Vince Dooley still talks
about the bruises his players nursed from the Astroturf
and he wouldn't give you three used lawn mowers for the
whole works...including the last place Astros.
It's not that Dooley is against change and he doesn't
really dig grass that much. He just doesn't know if it
will work as well as the live variety.
Tennessee officials are installing the new grass be­cause
they have always had trouble with the upkeep of
the live type. This is a slap in the face for the Tennessee
School of Agriculture. Their agricultural program is one
of the best anywhere.
Perhaps they should use the Tifton grass developed
here at Auburn. Cliff Hare Stadium has a healthy mat of
Tifton as do many other stadiums in the country.
The NCAA rule book does not say what a playing field
has to use for a surface. It only says it must be 160 feet
wide by 300 feet long, plus end zones. No mention is
made of what kind of grice (plural of grass) must be used.
A field may be covered in concrete, sawdust, crabgrass,
potatoes, and watermelon vines. Not to mention kudzu or
garbage left behind when the Auburn Garbage Company
pulled up stakes and left town.
It is a sticky problem and really ridiculous. Tennessee
made no mention of the new grass at the SEC meetings
this year and no one really knows much about the new
grass. Except Tennessee.
Suppose they took this to the SEC Commissioner's

in high school, turned in a
fine spring performance and

Another sophomore Bobby

All-star candidate Mike
Kolen will start at one of the
inside linebacking positions.
"We moved Mike from out­side
linebacker to inside line­backer
and he had a great
spring," Jordan said. "Depth
behind Kolen will be furnished
by sophomores Jim Speigner

Both are from Montgomery
and both started at inside line­backer
on last year's fresh­man

Starting at the other in­side

that we can utilize our manpower more efficiently by un­zipping

money we save from our water bill, we can hire a seam-tress
to come in and make repairs twice a week.

Credit union aids AU employees,
offers low cost loans to members
At a time when inflation
and high government spend­ing
force the commercial
rates on loans to the limit,
many employees of Auburn
University are enjoying ex­cellent
financial services from
the Auburn Federal Credit Un­ion.
The credit union, located in
the basement of Langdon Hall,
makes loans of up to S5.000 to
its members at a maximum of
one per cent per month interest
on the unpaid balance. Savings
deposited in the credit union
presently earn 4.5 per cent in­terest.
These savings are in
the form of S5 shares purchased
by the members. The credit
union also makes available
life savings insurance equal to
the amount of shares with a
S2.000 limit.
All employees of Auburn Uni­versity
can become members by
simply paying a 25 cent member­ship
fee and submitting an ap­plication
form to the board of
directors for approval.
The board of directors, which
is responsible for the over-all
operation of the credit union,
is elected by the members. A
three member Supervisory Com­mittee
examines the accounts
and keeps records in compliance
with federal laws. A Credit

Committee meets twice weekly
to consider loan applications.
The office work is handled by
Mrs. Barbara Bohmann, Mrs.
Joy Ranney and Leslie Melton.
The credit union offers a pay­roll
deduction plan which al­lows
members to make loan
payments and savings deposits
directly through the payroll of­fice.
Through this plan, over
S20.000 a month is paid to the
credit union from over 500 mem­bers.
The credit union has as­sets
of over $405,000. Out­standing
loans account for over
8310,000. In 1967, interest on
loans amounted to about$26,500.
In May, more than $50,000 in
loans were made.
The credit union has 1.234
accounts. There is a potential
membership of over 5,000 fac­ulty,
staff and non-budgeted
members.
The credit union has been
able to help many people. "We
have been able to save proper­ty
for people," said Mrs. Ran­ney.
Loans made by the credit
union have been used to pre­vent
foreclosure of mortgages.
The most unusual request,
said Mrs. Ranney, was from a
member who asked for a loan
for what he jokingly termed
"loose living." The loan was
approved.

Pre-college counseling
also 'parent-orientation'
9-THE PLAINSMAN Friday, July 12,1968
Pre-college counseling may be more for
parents than for students.
While next year's freshman class is going
through an orientation and early registration,
parents, especially mothers, wear the same
half-frustrated, half-proud look they wore
when their offspring started off to kinder­garten.
The biggest difference according to one
student is "They've taught us all they can.
They know it and it's sad." One by himself
said, "It's cool to be on your own.''
Pre-college counseling was begun at Au­burn
four years ago to help students over­come
the first few baffling weeks of "being
on their own" and to help them leam their
way around the campus.
Pre-college counseling is interested in
"looking at the student's aptitudes and
abilities, helping him to assess them in
terms of his curriculum choice," according to
Dr. Wilbur Tincher, Educational Services
director.
PARENT ORIENTATION
- Dr. Tincher said the "parent-orientation"
was proving to be most valuable. For the
first session, 160 parents accompanied 272
boys and girls. The groups ordinarily are for
250 students.
An innovation this year was Dr. Harry M.
Philpott's welcome. "Be flexible," the pres­ident
of Auburn University said. "Don't be­come
totally committed to a particular pro­gram.
Don't try to specialize at first. It's not
a crime to change your mind."
At present it is necessary for freshmen to
decide on schools and majors immediately. A
change to a general education program where
students take general studies for their first
two years will go into effect in the fall of
1969 as a result of action by the Academic
Administrative Staff with concurrence of the
Faculty Council.
Herb Hawkins, director of admissions, also
advises care in the selection of courses.
"Academic probation is many times the re­sult
of a student being in the wrong area,"
he said.
SAMPLE INTERESTS
But Dr. Philpott is not concerned entirely
with vocation when he advises the students
to "sample" various interests. "You must CHEERLEADER LEADS PRE-FROSH IN 'WAR EAGLE'
take courses to prepare yourselves to ful­fill
a constructive role in the future. These
are not always the subjects in which you are
best, but subjects you should be taking."
Parents are invited to most of the sessions,1
including the opening convocations when
Robert Strong, pre-college counseling and
high school relations director, presents the
broad programs open to freshmen at Auburn.
While the boys meet with the military (ROTC
is compulsory for the first two years at Au­burn)
and the girls with physical education
teachers, the dean of women and the dean of
student affairs discuss matters related to in
loco parentis-or how the university acts as
foster relative. "I feel much better than I
did," a mother smiled after the session.
"She's never even spent the night away from
home!"
COUNSELING
Finally, in groups of 10 to 12,. the class
of 1972 meets with counselors-recruited
from throughout the state-to discuss voca­tional
interest tests taken earlier and to
hear more of the fine details.
The high school graduates are free to ask
questions, and they do. Special meetings are
arranged to talk about special college act­ivities

IK holds convocation r
confirms^dry rush'rule
By KATIE JONES
News Editor
The question most frequently asked by students attend­ing
the fraternity orientation meetings during Pre-College
Counseling concerns the validity of the recent announce­ment
that dry rush will be enforced September 1146.;
Interfraternity Council
President Joe Busta said
more than 300 out of 350 men
students attending Pre-Col­lege
Counseling have attend­ed
the IFC meetings so far.
Busta conducts a 30-minute
convocation dealing with the
aspects of fraternity life each
Monday and Wednesday night at
8:15. The sessions consist of
a 10-minute discussion on lo­cal
and national fraternities, a
pictorial presentation of the
practical side of fraternities
and a question and answer per­iod.
Fraternity Adviser Dr. Ed­ward
B. Taylor said the Com­mittee
of Fraternities has re­defined
the drinking rule in an
attempt to enforce the regula­tion
which has been deftly cir­cumvented
in previous years.;
The Committee's interpreta­tion
of the new drinking rule
says that "no fraternity may
serve or permit to be served any
alcoholic beverage to a rushee,
and no rushee is permitted to
drink alcoholic beverages dur­ing
a rush function."
Any violator will be dropped
from rush, and any rushee caught
drinking at a rush function or
in the presence of a fraternity
man will be fined $50.;
The new rules state that
rushees dropped for breaking a
rule will be prohibited from
pledging a fraternity for one full
quarter. The penalty was pre­viously
six weeks.
"Fraternities aren't all drink­ing,
parties and good times,"
said Busta, also president of
Delta Chi. "Our goal this year
will be to help promote the aca­demic
atmosphere at Auburn."

Tommy Home Rides The Rough Way
Bronc-busting pays for education
By LINDA GREENE
Auburn student Tommy
Home often finds his week'
ends fun and profitable. The
19-year-old sophomore in
pre-veterinary medicine is
helping to finance his edu­cation
by riding bareback Drones
and wild bulls in rodeos
throughout the state.
Tommy developed an interest
in horses as a youngster,
spending afternoons with his
