SEMPER
Fl DELIS
SOCIETY
The Semper Fidel is Society is a service orga-
nization for Marines on campus and those in -
terested in the Marine Corps . The purposes of
this group are to receive and disseminate pol i-
cies , doctrines , and v ita l information pertinent
to the better understanding of the duties and
responsibilities of an officer of the United
States Marine Corps: to stimulate and protect
the high traditions and ideals of the Marines;
and to promote good fellowship and cult ivate
the social virtues among its members .
Each year the club sponsors a project such
as Toys for Tots and participates actively in
the All Campus Fund Drive.
ARMY
ROTC
Progressive-voluntary-useful-words that describe Au-
burn 's Army ROTC cadet brigade. With the start of the fall
quarter, ROTC became an elective program and presented
a new challenge in leadership and recruiting to both the
active duty personnel, but more importantly to the cadets.
The sen ior cadets have been given more responsibility in
the managing and instructional phase of the weekly one-
hour drill. Preparing their own lesson plans, teaching fresh-
men and sophomore cadets, applying leadership techniques
that were once only studied has provided them with a better
knowledge of future problems that they may face on active
duty as second lieutenants .
A new program of instruction for drill was developed in
order to eliminate repetition over a four-year period. The
freshman and sophomore cadets are provided training in
the defense establ ishment, military history, organization and
management , and the more basic military skills such as
rapell ing , first aid, hand-to-hand combat, mountaineering ,
survival and communications.
Senior cadets are also partic ipating in a pilot project
named " Operations Senior" . Returning to their former high
schools, they present short information programs on the
Reserve Officers' Train ing Corps and answer any questions
that the high school students may have. Again , the primary
theme is participation by the cadet in all phases of ROTC.
Brigade Sponsor Caro n Adair
ARMY ROTC
Realizing that more and more undergraduates desire advanced
schooling , and with a lessening of active duty officer requirements,
greater numbers of commissioned seniors are attending graduate school.
Of 160 officers commissioned during the 1969-70 school year , 33 are
presently enrolled in an advanced studies program .
The re-instating of the 3-6 months active duty tour for training will
also have a profound effect on the cadets ' future . This year over 50
percent of the seniors will be required to attend only their basic officers
course at some military installation and then will be released to a Reserve
Component-the Army Reserve or the National Guard .
ROTC, an integral part of Auburn heritage , is also an integral part
of Auburn future , providing junior officers who , by their education , train-
ing , and inherent qualities are suitable for positions of responsibility as
officers in the United States Army .
Bob Mccarter, Counterguerrilla Commander COUNTERGUERRILLA
COMPANY
The Auburn Army ROTC Counterguerrilla Company is a voluntary
organization . It purports to familiarize cadets with counterguerrilla
operations, improve their physical condition and enable them to
operate under adverse conditions, and stimulate them into considering
the United States Army as a career. Leadership development is at-
tained through intensive small unit tactical training both at Auburn
and U.S . Army installations . The training is demanding , both physically
and mentally , and designed to be so: to develop the cadet 's leadership
capabilities.

GOVERNOR
BOARD OF
TRUSTEES
George C. Wallace returned to the Governor's chair in January following
a four year absence. With promises of keeping the presidential administration
in line and providing four year colleges within commuting distance of every
Alabama citizen , the next few years should prove interesting.
Wallace lost the general election of the Democratic primary but came back
to defeat Albert Brewer in t he runoff . In what was the most controversial
and unusual campaign in recent state history , Wallace rallied his own bloc
of supporters to capture the Democratic nomination and ultimately the gover-
norsh ip.
Wallace will face old and new problems such as quality education , keeping
college graduates in their home state, building industry and ensuring equal
rights and freedoms for all Alabamians as he once again assumes the role
of governor.
Wallace serves as head of t he Board of Trustees as the board strives to
better the academ ic envi ro nment of the university.

PRESIDENT PHILPOTT •
" I feel that Auburn must be maintained as a place of reason and
understanding . Recently, many colleges have become battlegrounds
because of pressures to get students involved in active programs .
It seems as if they want to solve all of society 's ills while they are
at the institution. They seem to want to make the school an instrument
of social action and to let the President and faculty be spokesmen
on all issues of the world. In the midst of all this , Auburn has had
its differences , but I am pleased that they are orderly differences ,
orderly debates , and mild demonstrations handled in good taste . In
this area , my biggest concern is to make it possible for students and
faculty to get together, discuss, think, and learn ." With these words,
President Harry M. Philpott looked toward his si xth year at Auburn .
As the year progressed , President Philpott became increasingly
concerned about University finances. Budgets increased , but the funds
available did not, thus presenting quite a problem for him to handle.
Students not returning to school due to lack of finances also presented
a similar problem for him in 1970 . In general , the entire economic
aspects of the University were a tremendous burden on his mind .
Women 's regulation and liberation continually were big issues to
be confronted by the President . Changes were in effect by the end
of Fall Quarter, 1970, concerning this area.
Under his leadership, new building programs were initiated , with
a new Fisheries Building and Theatre Building to be finished by the
end of the year.
President Philpott looked forward to a year in which the war in
Vietnam did not play such a major campus role , and to a prosperous
year for the Auburn student body.
