Bob Hurt Selected
Cheerleader Head
For Rest Of Year
Three Of Fall Group
End Cheering Careers
Bob Hurt, Chattanooga, Term.,
has been selected by the Cheer­leader
Selection Committee to be
the head cheerleader for the re­mainder
of this academic year,
according to an announcement
from Ed Cobb, SGA president and
chairman of the committee.
Hurt who served this fall as
cheerleader will take the place of
Jim Crane, Stockton, who is re­tiring
from the position due to
graduation. Two other cheerlead­ers,
Martha Bell, Clanton, and Ann
Freeman, Birmingham, are also
retiring from their positions as
cheerleaders.
Others who have served during
this fall's football season are Pat
Hill, Birmingham; Rodney Sum­mers,
Huntsville, and Don Fay,
Ft. Payne.
"The cheerleaders have done a
terrific job' this fall in fostering
school spirit," stated Cobb, "and
the Alabama game, finale of a
career for three, showed the re­sults
of a concerted effort by all
of them.
"I know that the group, under
the leadership of Bob Hurt, will
continue to perform as well. We­'
re looking forward to a great
basketball season as well as next
year's football season."
TAKING "TIME OUT" after a football season of cheer lead­ing
are Patty Hill, Martha Bell Ann Freeman, Head Cheerleader
Jim Crane, Bob Hurt, Don Fay, and Rodney Summers. There's been
many a "War Eagle" whooped up by this bunch; they deserve the
rest.

To Take
Finishes Easily
Cake Race
By Oliver Chastain
Rod Johnson, Birmingham, came in first at the annual
ODK-Wilbur Hutsell cake race Tuesday afternoon. His time
for the 2.7 mile course was 15 minutes, 31 seconds.
For winning the race Rod will receive a large cake,
prizes from merchants in and around Auburn, and most
important, a kiss from Joyce Van
Tassel, Miss Auburn.
The race got underway at 3:30
Tuesday afternoon with over 700
freshmen participating. Two
motorcycle policemen led the race
to clear the streets of cars and
people. Following the policemen
and actually leading the race was
a convertible in which rode Joyce
Van Tassel, ODK President Bill
Amos and Cake Race chairman,
Bill Yarbrough.
Johnson finished the race with
a burst of speed. He entered the
West gate and ran around the
track through the shute before
any other runners entered the
stadium. His first words were,
"I'm glad it's over". Rod is a
freshman in engineering physics.
He is- on the freshman track
team and appeared to be in ex­cellent
physical condition for the
race.
After he had cooled off a lit­tle,
Rod had the following state­ment
to make: "I started the
myself exactly right or I could
have finished sooner."
Finishing the race second was
Paul Hall, Gurley; third place
went to Grady Sparks, Jasper;
and finishing fourth was Elmer
Lammon, Enterprise.
The winning fraternity was
Sigma Nu; the second fraternity
to have four men finish was Sig­ma
Pi and the third was Pi Kap­pa
Alpha. . ' ' . •.
More'than 700 freshmen start­ed
the race and 523 finished it.
Bill Yarbrough, chairman of
the race committee, said, "this
was the most successful that has
been put on so far and we are
proud of our freshmen for show­ing
such fine spirit and sports­manship."
The first 25 freshmen to place
will each receive a small cake.
The first 10 will receive various
prizes donated by merchants in
and around Auburn. The frater­nity
with the first four men to
finish will receive a trophy do-race

Plainsman Feature Writer
Melville S. Priest, professor
in the civil engineering de­partment,
recently returned
from Egypt after the outbreak
of the Egyptian-Israeli hos­tilities.
Priest was among the
evacuated Americans taken
from Egypt to Italy by the
U. S. Navy.
Priest was an adviser in hy­draulic
research on a six-month
assignment for the United Na­tions
Technical Assistance Ad­ministration.
His assignment was
cut short by the outbreak of Is­rael-
Egyptian hostilities.
United Nations personnel were
withdrawn from Cairo on Nov.
1 to Alexandria, given safe con­duct
by the Egyptian army. On
Nov. 2, U. N. personnel were
transferred from Alexandria to
Naples, Italy, by the U. S. Navy.
They spent" the night of Nov.
1 in Alexandria, where they
could hear the air raids, the an­ti-
aircraft fire, and the bombing
runs on a nearby air strip.
The evacuation ships, attack
transports used for amphibious
operations, were carrying Ma­rines
prepared for landingsXThe
transports were backed by heav­ier
units of the Sixth Fleet. V
The ships had approximately
1100 civilians, 400 Marines, and
crew members. Priest said, "Thd

Campus Fund Drive
Donations Top Goal
With Record $3,400
Final reports from t he
Campus Fund Drive Commit­tee
state that an all-time rec­ord
of $3400 was donated to
this year's All Campus Fund
Drive. This amount exceeds
the $2500 goal by $900, and is
an increase of $1254 over last
year's total. The drive was
scheduled for two weeks be­ginning
November 5.
"Special money-raising events
carried on during the. two-week
run of the drive added greatly
to the final total," stated Lewis
Anderson, chairman of the drive,
"however," continued i Anderson,
"we would have reached our goal
even without these s p e c i al
events."
Magnolia Hall, giving only $150
in the '55 drive, gave $456 this
year. This increase was-accom­plished
by efforts of. division
counselors, r e p o r t e d Murray
Echols, committee member in
charge of contributions from
men's dormitories. P«
Army and Air ROTC co-oper­ated
with the Drive Committee
by giving a day off from drill
to the division with the highest
donation per man. Division Q,
which consists of 53 men gave
a total of $55, thereby wining
the day off.
Faculty Follies, a program
sponsored by the Union Social
Committee and the faculty, took
in $360 for the drive. Faculty
Follies played to a full house in

Oran Ritter asks
Does Du Pont
hire men who
have definite
military
commitments?
Oran A. Ritter, J r . , expects to receive his B.S. in chemical engineer­ing
from Louisiana State University in June 1957. He's now editor-in-
chief of the "L.S.U. Engineer," local president of Tau Beta Pi, and
senior member of the Honor Council of his university. Oran's ques- !
tion is on the minds of many men planning a technical career.

it
Donald O. S u t h e r l a n d graduated from Virginia Polytechnic
Institute in 1953 with an M.S. degree in chemical engineering and
an R.O.T.C. commission. He was hired by Du Pont's plant at
Victoria, Texas. After two years in the service, Don returned to
his career in engineering, and is now doing plant-assistance work
in the technical section a t Victoria.
YES, Oran, we certainly do! We've employed quite a
number of college graduates with definite military
commitments, even when we knew they could work no
more than a few weeks before reporting for duty. Take
my own case. I was hired in November of 1953 and
worked for only four weeks before leaving for the Army.
Two years later I returned to Du Pont.
You see, we're primarily interested in men on a long-range
basis. The fact that they're temporarily unavail­able,
for a good reason like military service, isn't any bar
to their being considered for employment. After working
only one day, an employee is guaranteed full re-employ-meht
rights—that's the law. And if a man works for
Du Pont a full year before entering the service for two or
more years, he receives an extra two months' salary. If he
goes into the service for six months, he's paid a half
month's salary. When he's entitled to a vacation but
doesn't have time to take it before leaving, Du Pont
gives him equivalent pay instead.
Even if present employment is impossible, Oran, we
definitely recommend-your talking with Du Pont's repre­sentatives
as well as those of other companies. The very
least you'll gain will be valuable background and some
contacts of real benefit to you when you leave military
service.
WANT TO KNOW MORE about working with Du Pont?

College Graduate," a booklet that tells you about oppor­tunities
for work in all departments of the Company. Write

mean the discontinuance of club activities. Several
clubs continue to initiate new members, and an award was
made to the outstanding freshman in mechanical engineer­ing.
Phi Lambda Upsilon
Alpha Iota chapter of Phi
Lambda Upsilon, national chem­istry
honorary fraternity, has
initiated seven new members.
The initiation took place on Nov­ember
29. Following the initiation
a banquet was given in honor
of the new members at the
Chicken House in Opelika.
The speaker for the evening
was Dr. Howard E. Carr, head
professor of physics at API, who
spoke on the life of the Russian
chemist, Dmitri I. Mendelyeev.
The seven new members are:
George Samuel Birchfield, Do-than;
Charles Harold Davis, Shef­field;
George Robert Deakin,

EDIBLE SPORT SHIRTS?
Among the sort of sport shirts
that Van Heusen refuses to
make are the following:
Sport shirts that light up in
the dark: These are the kind
that flash messages, like "Hey,
baby," you're a honey," or
"Pass the ashtray, please."
Useful for parties, faculty teas
and cotillion balls. But they
tend to commercialize the
graceful art of conversation.
Sport shirts with road maps
on them: Too dangerous. Say
you're driving from campus
to the big city. You don't know
whether to turn left or right
at the turnpike, so you look
down at your shirt to check.
Crash!
Edible sport shirts: Too mis­leading.
You're sitting under a
shady tree with your favorite
co-ed. She rests her head gently
on your chest. You think she's
fond of you. Suddenly you hear
"munch, munch," and there
goes your delicious shirt! It
was it she craved, not you!
But the sport shirts,that
Van Heusen does make are
fascinating. Dashing checks,
interesting plaids, splendid
stripes, solids in some very
unusual colors. Their cut is
free and comfortable . . . their
style is original and flattering.
Thumb through the collection
that your campus haberdasher
proudly displays.

"I help design mobile radiotele­phone

Dr. St. Aknant To Lead Bible Study Here Jan. 6
By Joan Forshaw
Plainsman Church Editor
In the study of Romans we will find that there is little
difference in the sins arid problems that people had then and
those we are confronted with today.
An all-church bible study will
be led by Dr. Penrose St. Amant
of the New Orleans Seminary
from Sunday, Jan. 6, through
Wednesday, Jan. 9, at the First
Baptist Church. Bible students of
all denominations are invited.
Dr. St. Amant was president of
Dr. Penrose St. Amant
the Louisiana College B. S. U.
and the Louisiana State B. S. U.
in 1934-35. After receiving the
degree of Master of Arts from
Louisiana State University and
the Th. M and Th. D degrees from
the New Orleans Baptist The­ological
Seminary, he received
his Ph. D. from the University
of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scot­land,
in 1952. He also received
the degree of Doctor of Laws
from Louisiana College in 1955.
Preaching for the weekly ra­dio
program "Faith for Life,"
produced by the Seminary, is
another one of Dr. St. Amant's
various activities. He is a member
of the St. Charles Avenue Bap­tist,
the American Society of
Church History, the American
Historical Association and the
Quarterback Club.
The book to be studied is "The
Gospel According to Paul" by
Clifton J. Allen. This is a new
book on the book of Romans
which comes from the press the
first week of December.
During December read the book
of Romans through several times
and see if you do not feel the
nee* for real study and guidance.
The annual Christmas pro­gram
of the Westminster House
will be held Sunday night, Dec.
9. To carry out the Christmas
theme, there have been planned
a dramatic reading, a soloist, and
carol singing. This program, in
addition to being the Christmas
program, is the last meeting of
the quarter, so everyone is in­vited
to come.
One of the real highlights and
deep experiences at Westminster
is the pre-final communion and
breakfast held before final ex­ams
begin each quarter. This
quarter the service will be led
by Dr. Leith. A good breakfast
is planned after the communion
service. The time is December 10
(first day of finals) at 7:30 a.

LET'S PUT CHRIST BACK IN CHRISTMAS 4—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, December 7, 1956
Christmas is right around the comer
from final exams. The time is close at
hand when we have the opportunity to
give, and to have the merry fellowship
with our fellow man.
Almost two thousand years ago a man,
like ourselves and yet unlike ourselves,
was born to live a life that would have
the greatest effect on the civilization of
the world that man has ever known. Not
too many years later He made the supreme
sacrifice to help His brothers and sisters
on the earth.
All too often in this day and age it is
the tendency for us to forget this man in
our celebration of Christmas. We may
think of the holiday season in connection
with the receiving of gifts, eating good
food or petting together and having a
"party".
In OUE commercialized world of today
we tend- to leave religion and Christ out
of our celebration. We often see Christmas
abbreviated "Xmas" and fail to realize
the meaning of the symbol, "X", which
was handed to us from Greece as the let­ter
chi meaning, in this case, Christ.
This period is a time for us to re­affirm
our faith and to thank God for
the Soii He gave us—the Son whose
* birthday we celebrate every year.
Let's get back away from, this com­mercialized
celebration—back 'to the fam­ily
get togethers, the singing of carols, the
personal helping hand for those less for­tunate,
than ourselves. It might be sur­prising
to many of us just what an en­lightening
and lifting experience Christ­mas'can
be.
HIGHWAYS OFFER TRIP TO GRAVEYARD
Holiday times' are just around the
corner and with their coming our minds
naturally wander to the chance to relax,
enjoy Christmas dinners and catch up on
some of" the recreation which we have
been missing due to studies.
But' to participate in these activities
we must first transport .ourselves to and
from home, and such travel usually in­volves
automobiles.
Science and safety engineers have
made remarkable advances in the field of
railroad and airway safety but there is yet
much to be done for road transportation.
The human element remains in all modes
of transportation but on the highways it
has its greatest effect.
Just after finals the roads leading
away from Auburn will be carrying a
peak load. Here is where each and
every student driver must handle his
car with the utmost care. Every pre­caution
must be observed.
During, the past two weekends similar
situations existed. Thanksgiving and the
Alabama game drew a great many people
away from the Loveliest Village. Several
did riot return. Right at this .very moment
a small number of our classmates are re­cuperating
in hospitals from injuries re­ceived
on crowded roads.
Let's not have any repeats on these
accidents. It isn't so terribly difficult to
observe a few safety rules while driving.
Sure, we're in a hurry to get home but
let's make sure we do get there—in one
piece.
We like to smugly sit back and
say, ''No accident will happen lo us."
It's not so easy as that. Others who
have said the same thing are now
lying in hospitals—or graves.
Sure, we're all good drivers. We can
handle our car, we say. Let's not kid our­selves.
Maybe we can drive extraordi­narily
well. Let's remember, we aren't
driving the only car on the road. People
can sometimes pull some pretty stupid
tricks. Maybe just when we think we are
safe the other fellow will make some un­expected
move and we find ourselves not
on the way home-, but to the place of
judgement.
It's up to us whether or not we can
return to school next quarter. Let's take it
easy on the way home and back and ar­rive
here alive and ready to begin again
in January. -; ; Ng
NOT ONE, BUUWO VICTORIES CAPTURED
Two great victories were won by Au­burn1
this past weekend in Birmingham.
The Crimson Tide went down in defeat
before the onslaught of the Tigers' mighty
football machine and Alabama's Million
Dollar Band bowed before the terrific show
put on by the Greater Auburn Band.
Football victories have been won be­fore.
We- took Bama last year and the
year before. This year our band has been
able to catch up with those on the grid­iron.

have worked their hearts out toward out-showing
the famed Alabama band. Many
hours of practice have been put in. Perse­verance
and oneness of purpose have paid
off. The victory has been won.
We watched with a critical eye the
shows of each band. Insofar as music goes
both bands probably came out even. It
was in the marching that Auburn really
came through.
We saw not one Auburn man or
woman out of step. The lines were
straight as an arrow. The precision
formations and movements looked
great. And the show was not only
well executed but very appropriate
also. The entire performance was wor­thy
of Auburn.
This year will go down in band his­tory
as the time Auburn outperformed
the Million Dollar Band. Our hats are off
to the band, its directors and all who had
a part in the making of a superior group.
A GRID FAREWELL
Ten senior members of our football
team wound up their college playing ca­reers
out on the turf of Legion Field last
Saturday. It was the climax of four years
of practice and sweat for those men and
the Bama victory was a sweet farewell.
No doubt not one of the ten would
have ask any other going-away present
than those bright lights spelling out 34
to 7 as they walked off Legion Field for
the last time. They had played a final game
for Auburn, and they had played it well.
The victory over Bama marked, as it
always does, the close of a successful sea­son
for Auburn and the score made it a
year Tiger fans will remember for a long
time to come.
The game was a last gridiron tribute
to their school, but it was something more
than that, too, for those ten seniors. It
brought back memories of anxious fresh­man
football days, practice sessions on
Drake Field, bowl games, and lasting
friendships among teammates, coaches,
fellow students and fans for seniors Ernie
Danjean, Jerry Elliott, ChUck Maxime,
Frank Reeves, .Don Stevens, Jimmy Strain,
Paul Terry, Howell Tubbs, Jim Walsh
and Jerry Sansom.
They have contributed something to
Auburn, and they in turn, take with them
something of Auburn as they walk off the
football field for the last time.

On Friendship
By G. W. Wilson
"What is the secret of yourjife?"
asked Mrs. Browning of Charles
Kingsley. Tell me, that I may
make mine beautiful too." He re­plied,
"I had a friend."
To many of us friendship is an
accepted entity. We accept friend­ship
much in the manner that we
drink when thirsty and sleep when
weary . ' . . w i t h no appreciation
for these essentials of life.
Perhaps not all of us may ex­perience
real hunger and thirst,
but throughout our lives we shall
see friends, leave. Some will go
by choice, others by fate as we
move on to greener pastures.
There should be no sadness, as a
lost friendship is like money hap­pily
spent. When the loss is final,
recall is futile. We must, then,
replenish . . . not reminisce. A
very wise man once said, "If a
man does hot make new acquain­tances
as he advances through life,
he will soon find himself alone. A
man, sir, must keep his friend*

In our pursuit of true friend­ship's
we must seek for those with
BY G. W. WILSON
whom we can associate our choi-ciest
thoughts. T h e emphasis
should be, not upon multitudes,
but on personal values. These.is no
cause for disappointment when
friendship is rebuked, for the fault
may be ours.
The wise words of Mendelssohn
are apropos in describing an ideal
attitude toward friends:
"Love the beautiful, seek out
the true,
"Wish for the good, and the
best to do."
Having earned the honor of good
friends we must remember that
we owe it to ourselves to maintain
individuality and self reliance; that
we will not be so moved by
crowds and cliches as to forfeit
the integrity of our own minds.
Let us strive for the approval of
champions without being too
easily moved by ridicule. What
ought to be done should be done
without allowing the laughter of
others to deter us; for it has been
saifi'that nothing is at last sacrcch
bux the integrity of our own
minds.

The Notre Dame Scholastic in

four pages were devoted to the

JOKE?
A; shapely young nurse was
walking down the hall of a large
hospital with part of her bosom
showing. A staff doctor happened
along and bawled her out for be­ing
improperly dressed and
shameful display of her body.
She corrected the fault at once
and said:
"I'm sorry, sir. Those damned
interns never put anything away!"
It was cold. In fact, it was darn
cold. The only trace of the sun
was the faint rose-colored tint in
the eastern sky. It was yet too
early for the birds to begin their
early morning chirping; not
even the catbirds had begun their
flat-noted greetings to the dawn.
In the dark of the cold morning
two figures made their way
through a woods bordering a
swamp. The swamp is about
30 yards wide and runs for almost
a half-mile. It is located about
one hundred yards from the river.
The woods bordering the swamp
are loaded with oak trees of many
varieties. Acorns from these trees
fall into the swamp, thus making
an ideal place for mallards, wood-ducks,
teal and other puddle
ducks. There are also numerous
bushes and trees growing in the
swamp, which is not a swamp at
all during the spring and summer.
These bushes and trees abound
with a dale-like fruit that seems
to be a gi'eat favorite of the
ducks; .however, acrons fill num­ber
one spot on the menu.
Two creeks feed the swamp at
its source, and a third adds its
water at a place about two-thirds
the length of the swamp. As the
result of the labor of some in­dustrious
beavers, the water from
the last creek is pretty well back­ed
up. Over the main body of the
creek hang three giant white
oaks. The acorns from these trees
cover the banks and the bottom
of the creek. It is a heaven tor
mallards and woodducks.
Well, • those two figures we
spoke of were making their way
towards this creek. They had
stumbled on it the day before and
had been startled almost to death
by a flock of about 35 ducks that
were feeding on the creek. They
were coming back this day (the
next morning) to lake a lew of
those ducks home.
The hunters tried to walk si­lently,
but they were too excited.
One of them had hunted very lit­tle,
hated the very thought of get­ting
up at 4 a.m., but wanted to
kill a duck. His name was Bill.
The other hunter. Steve, loved
hunting and fishing better than
anything under the sun. It was his
life. After about ten minutes of
groping Ihrough the dark, the two
boys were almost 20 yards from
the high bank above the creek.
They walked silently now on the
frost-covered leaves. Bill went
toward the mouth of the creek,
crosed the beaver dam, and sta­tioned
himself on the far bank of
the creek. The ducks usually flew
across the swamp, over the beav­er
dam and settled in the water
just on the other side of the dam.
Bill' was waiting for them and was
in position for the first shot.
Steve picked his way silently
BY WARDLAW LAMAR
down the bank, not: silently
enough, however, for six wood-ducks
roared from the creek,
sending their weird, pitiful calls
through the now steel-gray dawn.
Steve cursed and stationed him­self
on the edge of the creek near
the trunk of a big tulip tree, in
a place where the tree would not
obstruct the swing of his gun on
side shots or his line of sight on
the waterfowl passing over or
dropping in. The two boys were
set, eagerly awaiting the dawn.
The .lawn came, so did the
morning noises of the wood folk,
yet silently at first then louder
and louder-—catbirds, field spar­rows,
finches, jays, "crows, squir­rels
and thrashers — all these
creatures and many others added
their cries, twitterings, and scold­ing
barks to the forest symphony.
From the river came the boom of
many guns, and the two boys
could imagine the flights of clucks
—mallards, bluebills, teal, red
heads and pintails setting in
around spreads of decoys, or pass­ing
low over sandbars whence
hunters blasted at them. The boys
could imagine the fat, downy, fast-flying
birds tumbling from the
sky. These thoughts sharpened the
anxiety of the boys, and they
touched the cold steel of their
gun breeches, and cheeked the
safeties. Everything was set—now
let the ducks come.
PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE
Salute To Grid Seniors CHARLES DUNLAP
Last Saturday at Legion Field
ten Auburn players were on the
field watching the toss for the last
time in their college career. Be­hind
Jerry Elliott and Frank
Reeves were Jim Walsh, Jimmy
Strain, Chuck Maxime, Earnest
Danjean, Jerry Samson, John
Whatley, James Warren, and
Howell Tubbs. Alabama won the
toss, elected to receive, and Au­burn's
seniors were on the start
to a 34-7 humbling of a once-feared
Alabama ball club.
Much could be said separately
of each senior; but more could be
said of them together as a team.
These ten men came to Auburn
as boys as far as football is con­cerned,
growing up quickly und­er
the competent guidance of head
coach Sihug Jordan. Each became
an impoitant part of Auburn's
football machine.
Some of these names will linger
in our minds longer than others,
some of these names will prob­ably
continue to be associated
with football through .the pro cir­cuits,
but names remembered or
not, these ten men certainly de­serve
a place in our thanks to
those who have done War Eagle
proud.
It's this kind of initiative that
is characteristic of every phase
of activity in the Loveliest Vil­lage.
To these ten THANKS, but
only by continued interest in
every phase of Auburn's activity
can we show them we are really
thankful for their part in making
API the proud institution I hat it
is.
B * * *-
Several students are looking in­to
the possibility of having a car
inspection, similar to those re­quired
by law in many states, on
this campus. It is a good idea and
if run .in.the proper manner will
be a help to every car owning
student and to the safety of our
streets.
Many Auburn students are
completely neglecting our traffic
committee's efforts to improve
traffic conditions on the campus.
Ticket after ticket has been giv­en
to cars parked in an imprope^..
place. Many of these tickets have
not been paid. By not complying
with these rules we are not hurt­ing
anyon but ourselves. If we in­sist
on continuing this "no pay"
attitude our education in Auburn
is in danger. Don't pay and you
might end. up not going to school
here, on the Plains. . . .
Now that football season is
over, and the major part of our
cheerleaders' duties are over, I
want to congratulate them all, and
wish Martha Bell and Jim Crain,
who are leaving this year success
wherever they may go. These
seven are just one more example
of Auburn's spirit of cooperation.
The cheerleaders selection com­mittee
met Monday afternoon and
Bob Hurt was selected to take
head cheerleader Jim Crain's
place. Congratulations to you
Bob.
Last weekend was successful in
every respect. Auburn walked
away with honors in every de­partment.
Alabama's Million Dol­lar
Band was wonderful, but they
made no better showing than our
folks did — especially our majo­rettes.
It won't be long before
those four, girls will have national
acclaim.
Student directories are out and
.may be picked up during the day
on the second floor of Sainford
Hall.
Sevenl articles appearing in
The Plainsman have tended to
question the Auburn spirit. I
might have misinterpeted the real
meaning of these articles, but I
certainly don't think we are lack­ing
in friendliness on the Plains.
Our spirit is tops of the colleges
I've seen as was demonstrated last
weekend in B'ham. Forgive my
misinterpetation, but I certainly
don't think we are lacking in the
spirit department.
Meanwhile, back at the books...
FROM THE BOTTLE
Vincent Van Gogh Biography
"Lust for Life," the biography
of Vincent van Gogh, is probably
about the finest motion picture
that Hollywood has presented dur­ing
the past year or so. Kirk
Douglas, who played Vincent van
Gogh, turned in the best perform­ance
of his career.
His portrayal of the heart-ren­dering
van Gogh was magnificent.
Even the artist's few moments of
happiness were so pathetically sad
that we don't believe that a person
in the entire audience even so
much as moved. Everyone could
feel the terrible desolation and
loneliness of the misunderstood
artist.
In short, Mr. Douglas turned in
a type of performance that we
have not had the pleasure of wit­nessing
for quite some time. Our
most obscure and sincere congrat­ulations
to Mr. Douglas and his
wonderful supporting cast—espec­ially
Anthony Quinn, who played
Paul Gauguin.
On the technical side of the
fence as well, the motion picture
was a triumph. The colors were
magnificent. The van Gogh colors
seen in "Lust for Life" added to
that film what the Lautrec colors
added to "Moulin Rouge." The
yellows and reds seen on the
screen were almost exactly the
yellows and reds of van Gogh's
paintings. The photography was
excellent, especially in the presen­tation
of van Gogh's work—the
paralleling of the actual scene and
the finished painting. The shots
of the French countryside around
Aries were fine, and the movie
was well worth seeing for these
and for the exhibition of the
artist's work, as well as for the
wonderful acting.
• And most unusual of all (fop
Hollywood), we understood that
the biographers stayed very close
to the facts. At least, from the
very little we know about van
Gogh's life, this seems to be the
case. Possibly, this is the reason
that the film was not named, "The
van Gogh Story."
This is a film that we feel no
one can afford to miss. It is a
magnificent and tragic story with
a wonderful cast, excellent acting,
and magnificent direction, tech­nical
supervision and photogra-

phy.
The main reason that we are
devoting this space to a film that
has already played in Auburn is
that we sincerely hope that those
who did not have an opportunity
to see it during the quarter will
take time to see it over the holi­days.
And we would like to take this
opportunity to wish everyone the
best of luck on finals, and a most
pleasant and refreshing holiday
season.

Sitting Through Four Grid Seasons,
We've Seen Jordan's Finest Tigers
After sitting through four football seasons, it seems safe
to say that Auburn football is as good as that found any­where
Time was when the Tigers were considered kittens
but t h a t ' s not so now. In 23 of their last 28 games t h e y have
emerged victorious. "
Auburn grads who once laid claim to "winning the party do
their "War Eagling" with pride these days and Coach Ralph 'Shug
Jordan deserves much of the credit. Last year Jordan stated, We
should have good teams for many years to come," and Auburmtes
believe him.
- During these past four autumns Jordan has fielded teams in­cluding
some of Auburn's greatest gridsters. In the backfleld
there have been stars like Hoppy Middleton, Vince Dooley, Bobby
Freeman, Joe Childress, Fob James, Tommy Lorino, Bobby Hoppe
and Howell Tubbs. Along the line there have been such standouts
as Jack Locklear, Jim Pyburn, Frank D'Agostino, M, L. Brackett,
Jerry Elliott, Jimmy Phillips, Bob Scarbrough, Chuck Max.me
and Ernie Danjean.
Freeman may well have been the best all-round back in the group
although he received less national recognition than several of the
others In 1954 he led the SEC in total offense as he displayed a
real quadruple-threat performance—it included passing, running,
punting, and defense.
His exploits were fabulous. The 95-yard punt return through
the entire Georgia team in 1953 will always be remembered by
anyone who saw the game while his pitching efforts with Pyburn,
the catcher, never failed to thrill Tiger fans.
Pyburn and Scarbrough get our vote as the most valuable line­men.
Big Jim could catch anything. On top of that he was excellent
on defense and was no mean runner. In 1954 he scored against
Georgia on a 19-yard end-around play, the only one I ever saw that
worked.
Bob Scarbrough started in the first Auburn varsity game
he saw (the 1951 opener with Maryland), and though never
picked as an All-American or even an All-SEC player, he show­ed
a heart-felt desire to play for Auburn—and to do his best.
As captain of the '55 squad he was chosen Auburn's most valu-

Tigers Set Eight School Records;
Lorino Breaks SEC Rushing Mark
The Auburn Tigers finished their 1956 football season last Sat­urday
as they soundly thumped their cross state rivals, Alabama, by
a score of 34-7. Although the crew from the Loveliest Village finished
with a 7-3 mark, they set eight new school records and had two indi­vidual
SEC leaders.
Tommy Lorino, olthough only picking up 47 yards in the 'Bama
game, was the SEC leader in rushing with 692 yards gained on 82
runs.
The pride of Bessemer broke an 11-year-old record as he car­ried
for an average of 8.44 yards per carry. This mark eclipsed
the old record of 8.15 set by Lowell Tew of Alabama in 1945.
Jimmy Phillips, Auburn's All-American candidate, led the con­ference
in pass catching, yardage, and scoring. He hauled in 23
aerials which were good enough for 383 yards and four touchdowns.
This gives him an average of 16.7 yards per catch.
The team, on a whole, had a record good enough to partici­pate
in a bowl if they were not on probation. This is proven by
the fact that eight new school records were set, breaking most
of the 1954 marks.
The new marks were:
Most first downs (season), 182. Old record (1954), 174.
Most net yards, rushing and passing, 3749. Old record (1954)
3491.
Most yards average per game, 374.9. Old record (1954), 365.2.
Best team rushing average, 276. Old record (1944), 249.6.
Most rushing plays (season), 515. Old record (1954), 507.
Most total yards, rushing, 2760. Old record (1954), 1796.
Best rushing (per try), 8.44. Old record, Monk Gafford (1942),
7.65.

Rice Game To Test Young Plainsmen Saturday Night
Birmingham's Municipal Auditorium
Is Scene Of Cage Tilt With Owls
By Paul Hemphill
Plainsman Sports Writer
The young, fast, and potentially good Auburn Tigers
will take their first big step toward national prominence to­morrow
night when they tangle with highly-rated Rice at
Municipal Auditorium in Birmingham.
The contest will be preceded
by a game between Auburn's
freshmen and Snead College.
It's the beginning of a gruell­ing
year-end schedule which can
either make or break the soph-laden
Tigers. December 17-19
will see them entered in the Ca­rousel
Tourney at Charlotte, N.
C, along with St. Joseph's, Col­gate,
Wake Forest, Florida, Clem-soni
Davidson, and Muhlenberg.
Two days before the new year
Auburn will battle the powerful
Phillips 66 Oilers at Montgomery.
Actually, Coach Joel Eaves is
happy over the rugged, early-season
slate. "We're short on ex­perience,"
he says, "and it has
been purposely designed to give
us early hard-game action."
With all the starters from last
year's undefeated flrosh squad
coming up and four vets return­ing
from the varsity, Eaves' big
problem so far has been deciding
upon a starting five.
At the moment, it looks like
it will be Bill McGriff at center,
Captain Henry Sturkie and Bob­by
Tucker at guards, with Terry
Chandler and newcomer Rex
Frederick at the forward posts.
McGriff, 6-7 junior center from
Pisgah, and All-Sec as a sopho­more,
was by far the leading Au­burn
scorer last year. He had
324 points in 21 games for a 15.4
average. He also ranked near the
top of the SEC heap with 214 r e ­bounds.
Next highest scorer among the
returnees was Sturkie, a 6-foot
senior from Gadsden. He had 190
points in 21 games for a 9.1 aver­age
and took 87 rebounds.
Slated for the other guard spot
with Sturkie is Bobby Tucker,
6-foot junior from New Market.
He was in all 21 games and scor­ed
91 points. His field goal aver­age
of 48.3 was tops among the
returnees.
The other starter who returns
from last year is forward Terry
Chandler, a 6-3 junior from Cull­man.
Terry was tops among re­turnees
with a free throw per­centage
of 73.1. He scored 81
points in 19 games.
Completing the possible start­ing
unit is 6-5 soph forward Rex
Frederick who averaged 12.5
points with the frosh last winter.
The big boy from Cornel will
be relied upon to add rebounding
strength to the Tigers, who had
to depend almost wholly on Mc­Griff
in that department last
year.
The biggest battle for starting
posts has been at guard. Although
Sturkie and Tucker have the
edge due to experience, they are
being pushed by Jimmy Lee and
Henry Hart—a pair of sophs who
were nothing short of sensational
with the freshmen in '55-'56.
Not to be counted out of the
picture at forward are sophomore
Ty Samples, 6-3, and J. B. Bear-den,
6-4, a junior graduate of
Young Harris (Ga.) Junior Col­lege.
Bearden, a lefty, averaged
more than 20 points a game for
Harris last year.
Soph-Led Auburn Downs Jax State;
Hart Is Top Scorer In 72-65 Win
By Don Coughlin
Plainsman Sports Writer
A quintet of shining sophomores inspired the Auburn
Tigers to a 72-65 win over stubborn Jacksonville State.
The sharp shooting Gamecocks went down to t h e wire
p u l l i n g w i t h i n t h r e e points of t h e Tigers w i t h three minutes
to go, but a sound defense and keen shooting kept t h e J a x m en
far from the leading score.
With Henry Hart, Rex Frede­rick
and Jimmy Lee leading the
way, the Plainsman starting slow,
came from behind to take the lead
at halftime, 38-33.
Sophomore Hart, a former Eu-faula
star, led the scoring with
14 points, and Frederick, another
soph, from Cornor, had 13 points.
Tom Langston, big center for the
Gamecocks was the leading scorer
of the night for both squads with
22 points.
Jacksonville was leading 20-19
with nine minutes remaining in
the first half, when Hart went on
a scoring rampage of 11 points to
pull the Tigers ahead for good,
32-20. Bill McGriff also contribut­ed
a beautiful left-handed hook in
this series. Four points by Lee and
a push shot by Frederick put the
home town boys ahead at half-time,
38-33.
Moving the tempo up a bit in
the second half, the Tigers pulled
away by 10 points and kept this
margin almost throughout the re­mainder
of the game. Jacksonville

fielding a predominately sophomore squad, the Tigers are expected

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
The Auburn Team
Playing what most sports writers felt was their best
game of the season, the Tigers crushed traditional rival Ala­bama
last Saturday 34-7 in a team victory that warmed the
hearts of Auburn's old grads and students alike.
After the game, "Shug" was handing out plaudits for all.
"You've got to give credit to all those boys," said the amiable
mentor. "It was a splendid team effort, but there were some
great individual plays too. We were tickled to death with
all of them, Tubbs and Elliott and Phillips, Danjean, Hoppe,
Lorino, Preston, Reeves. Name every one of them and you've
got our stars."
Though somewhat daunted in defeat, Tide coach J. B.
"Ears" Whitworth added more good words—"That's the best
football team we've played this season. They did everything
right. Yes, they got some breaks, but they were ready for
them. Too many good halfbacks—too much speed—too many
good ends—that's what they had."
The Tigers praised each other too. Quarterback Howell
Tubbs said it best: "I knew we were ready after Friday. You
could tell those guys were going out there and go for it. Man,
they did!"
SEC record-setter Tommy Lorino said, "That Hoppe, he's
the greatest, that's all."
At the post-game parties, Tide fans bowed to the Tigers'
greatness in another way. Where once they counted, "1-2-3-4-
53-54-55," now they bellowed, "1-2-3-4-5-6-7." After all, it was
their first touchdown against Auburn in three years, and
they could be proud of it.
Lorino Leads SEC
Tommy Lorino, swift halfback,
was the SEC's top ground gainer
with a total of 692 yards on 82
carries. This gives him a new SEC
record for average per carry with
8.4. Bobby Hoppe and Jim Walsh
finished ninth and tenth, respec­tively,
with 542 and 539 yards.

matched every point, but they had
already given that 10 point deficit
away. They threatened only one
more time during the game when
they pulled within 3 points, but
the height of McGriff and Frede­rick
under the basket and the sure
shooting of Lee and Chandler
moved the Village crew out in
front by seven points to stay.

THE GIFT HORSE
The college life is a busy one, especially at this time
of year. What with going to classes and studying for
exams and pursuing a full social schedule and construct­ing-
rope ladders to foil dormitory curfews, the average
undergrad is so pressed for time that he cannot do justice
to his Christmas shopping.
Therefore, to aid you in your Christmas shopping, I
have gone into the market place and selected for you a
list of gifts, notable for their originality.
Perhaps the most original gift of all this year is a
carton of Philip Morris Cigarettes. "Original?" you ex­claim,
your bushy young eyebrows rising. "Why,, we
have been giving cartons of Philip Morris for years!"
True, I reply, but each time you give Philip Morris,
it is a new treat, a fresh delight, a pristine pleasure. Each
carton, each pack, each cigarette, each puff, is just as
good as the first one you ever tried.
Another gift destined for certain popularity this
year is a gift certificate from the American Dental As­sociation.
This certificate, good at any dentist's office in
America, is accompanied by a handsome gift card upon
which is engraved this lovely poem:
Merry Christmas, little pal,
Do you need some root canal?
Prophylaxis? Porcelain caps?
Bridgework to close zip them gaps?
Shiny braces that will straighten?
Inlays? Fillings? Upper platen?
Merry Christmas to your teeth,
And the rosy gums beneath.
lW«$0/?£>
Another gift that is always welcome is a book, espe­cially
to people who read. This Christmas the selection
of books is particularly attractive. For lovers of an­thologies,
there is William Makepeace Sherpa's A Treas­ury
of the World's Great Treasuries. For those who fancy
inspiring success stories, there is the stirring autobi­ography
of William Makepeace Pemmican entitled How
1 Got a Forty Pound Monkey Off My Back and Started
the Duluth Zoo. For devotees of skin-diving, there is
/ Married a Snorkel by Lydia Makepeace Watershed. For
calorie counters and waistline watchers, there is Harry
Makepeace Wildfoster's Eat and Grow Fat.
My own favorite book this season is a pulse-pounding
historical novel from that famous author of pulse-pound­ing
historical novels, Daphne Makepeace Sigafoos. This
one is called Egad and Zounds, and it tells the poignant
romance of two young lovers, Egad and Zounds, who,
alas, can never be married, for fiery Egad is but a gypsy
lass, while tempestuous Zounds is a Kappa Sigma. They
later become Ludwig of Bavaria.
My final gift suggestion is one that a great many
people have been fervently wishing for since last year.
Do you remember the introduction last Christmas of
tiny personal portable radios that plugged into your ear?
Well, this year, you will be delighted to know, you can
buy an ingenious pick to get them out.

Old Max said it, but it bears repealing: 4 carton of Philip
Morris, made by the sponsors of this column, is a Christmas
gift that's bound to please everyone!
Plainsmen Pour It On;
Alabama Beaten 34-7
By George Wendell ;
Plainsman Sports Editor
•Auburn's Plainsmen poured it on Alabama's hapless
uCrimson Tide S a t u r d a y to take a sweet 34-7 victory in Bir-
, m i n g h a m ' s Legion Field. It was A u b u r n ' s largest point pro­duction
since the series was renewed in 1948 and gave the
Plainsmen their t h i r d straight win over the Capstone crew.
Finding the Alabama line a
•little tough," Auburn took to the
airlanes and found things a lot
easier,' as senior quarterback,
HqwfefT Tubbs, passed the Crim­son;.
Tide completely out of the
ba!l,g.ame. Tubbs hurled the pig­skin
lO'times and completed five
for i02 yards and one'touchdown
He also scored once himself on
an 11 „yard jaunt.. .
The,'Tigers could go nowhere
against the Tiders in the first
stanza but in the second they roll-e4?;
up 'a total of 27 points, which
was, by far enough to put the
Capstone Crew away for the rest
OS # i e afternoon, ik
Leading the,Plainsmen in rush­ing
was the Chattanooga "Choo-
Choo", Bobby Hoppe, who picked
« p v l l 2 yards on-eight carries.
Trailing Hoppe was Tommy Lo-riri'o,
with 47 yards in nine car­ries/
This yardage, though not
much, was enough to give the
Bessemer flash the SEC rushing
title. ..- . • . .
Jimmy Phillips strengthened
his hopes for All-American hon­ors
as he pulled in three passes
for 67 yards. One of these aerials
was in the second period and was
a 40 yarded to set up the first
Tiger TD. This Tubbs to Phillips
gem carried the ball down to the
14 yard line. After a-iaw line
plays failed to put the'ball over,
Tubbs once again cocked his arm
and threw to .Jerry Ellidtt for
the first six points. Tubbs con­verted
and Auburn led 7-0 with
only four minutes and, 13 seconds
gone in the second quarter.
It was at this point that Tubbs
and Tigers knew they had found
the Tide's main weakness. After
forcing 'Bama to punt Tubbs
pitched to Lorino for 27 yards
and to Phillips for 12. After
Hoppe got three and Lorino lost
two, Tubbs pulled a keeper and
skirted right end for 11 yards

The Sugar Bowl-bound Tennessee Vols finished the 1956

the best non-championship
team in SEC history, blasted
Georgia 35-0 and accepted a Ga­tor
Bowl bid to meet Pittsburg
in a rematch of last year's Sugar

finished as the fourth best team
in the country.
Florida was beaten in its fi­nale
20-7 by seventh-ranked Mi­ami,

polls.-
Ole Miss trailed arch rival
Mississippi State through most
of their encounter last week but
managed to get across a TD in
the final minutes to capture a
13-7 victory and fourth place. It
was the fourth decision dropped
by the Maroons in the closing

note last weekend as they

With graduation only seven days away it seems hard to believe
that all the excitement is' over. Living on a day-to-day schedule
based primarily on football, basketball and baseball, it may be hard
to adjust to the non-collegiate world outside of sports.
Saturdays which once meant only football now will have to
have some new significance. Monday and Friday nights, formerly
synonymous with basketball will go the same way as those Friday
and Tuesday afternoons spent at the baseball games.
Anyway George Wendell w i l l have The Plainsman Sports Depart­ment

excellent job . . . maybe improve on the.present quality since he's

Surprise, Surprise!
1% :two years I have written
some 55 columns for The Plains­man.
The many fine experiences
I have had during that time shall
always be remembered. More than
that, the friends I have come to
know made ' my tenure • very en­joyable.
Now it seems that it all must
come to an end. The Editor feels
that I no longer render a service
to the paper. He feels that my
columns have hurt circulation and.
"brought a had name .to the pap-'
er."
Perhaps it is well that I am
leaving. I cannot enthusiastically
work.for a paper which I.feel has
deteriorated beyond all reason. In
my humble opinion, The Plains­man
no longer deserves to be call­ed
a NEWSpaper;- it ,has become
little more than an organ offprop-aganda.

8—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, December 7, 1956
Then too, I have lost respect for
The Plainsman. My own code of
ethics deters me from contribut­ing
to a paper which would allow
ANY member of its staff to be
publically called everything from
a "Pagan" to a "Jackass." I do
not mind having my ideas attack­ed.
That is to be expected, since
there are two sides to every issue.
But I do consider it poor journa­lism
and grossly unethical for any
paper to participate in defamation
of character.
The Plainsman has stood idly by
these past several weeks while my
critics were hurling slander; yet
it quickly rose to denfend my
friend Ann Rivers against a critic
whose letter was reasonable. In
my case, I did not expect to be de­fended;
but I did feel entitled to
unbiased 'treatment.
Furthermore, it appears that the
paper has actively contributed to
my disenfranchisement by its se­lection
of the more incendiary let­ters,
by the use of derogatory
heads for the letters, by its re­fusal
to print a well written letter
defending me, and by its censor­ship
of my attempt to make clear
my stand against drunkeness.
Such treatment is, to my mind, |
the epitomy of bigotry, partisan­ship,
and injustice.
I stand defeated. My reputation I
has been maligned and the respect
of my audience destroyed. I will |
not fight; indeed I am unable.
But I still have two years left I
at Auburn. Perhaps under more
favorable conditions in the future, |
I may again be able to write.

waiter. " I always wear Jockey briefs, and I 'm famous
for my casual aplomb during missing dessert investi­gations."
Take a tip from Warmthumb—serve yourself a full

Engineers and scientists at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft
developed" the piston engines that wrote aviation history
for three decades. Then came the jet age, and again it
was the P & W A team that came up with the mighty
J-57, most powerful production aircraft engine in the
world today. Behind such accomplishments, of course,
stand many development tools...tools like the house that
jet engines built: the Andrew Willgoos Laboratory.
Located on the eastern bank of the Connecticut River
in East Hartford, this windowless, thick concrete-walled
laboratory has been growing almost continuously since
its initial -'completion" in 1950. As more powerful, far
more advanced turbojet engines are conceived, the means
for testing them in development stages must itself under­go
carefully calculated alteration. Hence, authorship of
today's specifications for Willgoos Laboratory properly
belongs to the experimental engines it is testing today.
Similarly, tomorrow's proportions, capacities and equip­ment
will depend upon the requirements of tomorrow's
power plants.
Behind the ponderous walls of this multi-million-dollar
structure lies the wherewithal to simulate many of the
rigorous flight conditions to be encountered by military
and commercial aircraft. The range of these conditions
must vary from ambient pressures and temperatures in
a static condition at sea level all the way to the pres­sures,
temperatures and high speeds involved in high-altitude
flight.
This, then, is the house that jet engines built; at the
same time, it is the house that tomorrow's engines will,,
change and re-build.
