As Vol Assistant
By LENNY PALLATS
R«*d and Black Sports Editor
Tommy Bartlett, assistant basketball coach at the Uni
versity of Tennessee, said Wednesday night that be is
satisfied to be connected with the Tennessee athletic pro
gram and is not interested in the position of head basket
ball coach at the University.
Athletic Director Joel Eaves
said earlier in the evening that
he was in contact with Bartlett
and several other candidates
to succeed former head Coach
Harbin “Red” Lawson, who
retired Monday after a tenure
of 14 years.
While Eaves is anxious to
find a new coach by March 15,
the date the Athletic Depart
ment is permitted by the
Southeastern Conference to
begin recruiting high school
basketball players, he is not
acting hastily.
“The most Important thing
Is to find the right man, no
matter how long it takes,”
Eaves said.
Babe McCarthy, for 10 years
head basketball coach at Missis
sippi State, resigned from that
position Tuesday and is thought
by some to be under considera
tion for the post at the Univer
sity.
Ronald Bradley, highly
successful basketball coach
at Newton County high
school, haa visited the Uni
versity on several occasions
this year and has been men
tioned ns a possible candi
date.
Rex Frederick, Lawson’s as
sistant, has handled the team
for the past month while Law-
son has been on leave. Freder
ick was all-SEC forward under
Eaves at Auburn In 1958 and
1959. His name has been men
tioned by speculators in con
nection with the head coaching
job.
Dick Campbell, head coach
at Carson-Newman College, and
Norman Sloan, University of
Florida head coach, are others
who are thought to be under
consideration.

national music charts.
His accomplishments in fields
other than entertainment are also
many. He is the owner of two
recording companies, in charge of
the Rojon Productions which
Mathis
handle his recording and concert
activities, and has a hand In the
development of new talent such
as "The Young Americans” sing
ers who will appear with him in
Tuesday's concert.
The Young Americans are also
very accomplished. The group
consists of 18 members, ranging
in age from 15 to 20, chosen from
Los Angeles area colleges and high
schools on the basis of their talent
for singing, dancing, and playing
musical Instruments. They have

By RONALD TAYLOR
A total of 2,677 applicants
have been accepted to enter the
University as freshmen next

to end the acceptance of appli
cations in the next few days,
M. O. Phelps, assistant director
of admissions, said Tuesday.
The admissions office has
rejected 485 applications as
compared to 219 at this time
last year. A total of 1,422 ap
plications are being held for

Plans had been discussed
to terminate acceptance of

The rules at the University are not made for the responsi
ble students, but for those who ure immature and irrespon
sible.
This statement is the essence
of views expressed by various
administration officials at the
recent leadership conference
held at the Georgia Center.
The conference gave campus
leaders a chance to ask the
administration questions about
the University, and the ad
ministration an opportunity to
explain their position on va
rious subjects.
By far the most prominent
topic was what most stu
dents term “archaic” rules
governing the conduct of
students. Women's rules,
drinking and Imuse parties,
among others, were dis
cussed.
It should be noted that the
Ixcb anb JSlacfe
Analysis
University advances various,
and quite convincing, argu
ments In favor of the present
rules. It should be noted also,
however, that most students
are not aware of the reasoning
behind these rules.
This brings up tin; point
of communications. A wide
gap now exists between the
administration and the stu
dents, as well ns among ad
ministrators themselves.
Specifically, the point was

Livestock Show
Set For Friday
The 42nd annual Little In
ternational Livestock Show
will be held Friday at 8 p.m
in the Coliseum.
The show, sponsored by
Block and Bridle, will feature
animal majors who will dem
onstrate their skill In fitting
and showing livestock. Judging I
of classes will he based on the
appearance of the anlmalB in
the show ring, and the skill |
of the showmen in handling
the animals.
A highlight of the show
will be the crowning of Miss
Ag Hill by last year’s queen,
Marie Blasingame.
Danner said the class periods
will continue to ho 60 minutes
long, but will be separated by
16-minute breaks instead of 10-
minute breaks as they are now.
First period will begin at 7:50
a.m„ he said.
Tlic decision to change the
University's class |>erind ar
rangement was made Friday
by the Committee on Sched
ule and Registration. Danner
said. Scheduling problems
arising from limited class
rooms s|uico prompted the
derision, he said.
Registration for classes nor
mally held on north campus
sometimes exceeds classroom
space, making It necessary to
set up additional classes on
south campus, he said. The
differentiation between class
starting times on the two rum
puses often makes such an ar
rangement difficult.
Danner said the University
will have more students next
fall Ilian at present and less
classroom spar e because
some space currently being
used for classiss will In* used
for offices anal const ran t Ion
of aalditlonal classraiom space
probably will not ba* complet-
a*al.
The University's current sys-
tem of stugga'red class period
times between north anal sanitli
campuses was Innovated at tha*
beginning a>f fall quarter, 1963.
Tlia* system of 10-inlnute dif-
ferentiatiains between class
starting times on the two cam-
puses was put into effect to
allow students time to get from
classes on south campus to
north campus classes.

Placement Activity Grows
As Winter Quarter Nears
By JUNE KDGENS
The Placement Office of the University, located In Academic
Aid.
The Placement Office is often invaluable to the graduating
seniors and alumni which it serves. Through this department
companies seeking employees arrange to come to the campus
and students are scheduled for job interviews.
The first step in the placement procedure is for a student
who is to graduate within two quarters to open a personnel
file with the Placement Office. This file includes personal
and scholastic information, previous work record, and con
fidential faculty recommendations.
This information is then processed and duplicate copies are
made for prospective employers.
Announcement of the schools, companies and governmental
agencies which are going to be on campus for interviews is
made in a bulletin published bi-monthly.
Besides the interview procedure, a student may be notified
by telephone by the office when a position suitable to his major
and interests is available.
