Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra To Play Friday
In Third Attraction Of Concert and Lecture Series
Program Selected For Wide Appeal;
Includes Work Of Noted Composers
THE GALA CONCERT season will hit a high point Friday when
the 89 member Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra visits Auburn -for
an appearance in the Student Activities Building. Since Symphony
orchestras have attracted overflow crowds at API in the past few
years, the Concert and Lecture Committee has urged that students
;go early to find a seat.
Rousseau Takes
Goddess Honors
Jeannette* Rousseau, candidate
of Delta Zeta Sorority, was
crowned Greek Goddess Sat­urday
night at the annual IFC
Dance climaxing Greek Week
festivities.
Jeannette, a sophomore in
science and literature from Paint
Rock, was presented a bouquet of
roses and the Goddess trophy by
Hal Sumrall of Marietta, Ga., IFC
president. She was escorted to the
stage by Sam Crain, Newnan, Ga.,
chairman of Greek Week for IFC.
Jeannette was selected from a
group of ten candidates, each
nominated by her respective so­rority.
Popular vote among frat­ernities
decided the winner of
the title.
Featuring the Duke Ellington
Band, IFC Dance was attended
by a good crowd, though short of
the overflow crowd of last year.
Presented with the "Goddess"
were other candidates for the title.
They were Mary Lynn McCree,
Springfield, 111., AOPi; SuAnne
Boatwright, Montgomery, AGD;
Judy Joyc.e, Dallas, Tex., ADPi,
Mary Thomas, Homer, La., ChiO;
Corra McDonnell, Huntsville,
DDD; June Gosdin, Newnan, Ga.',
Phi Mu; Shannon Skalley; Nash­ville,
Tenn., ZTA; Battle King,
Decatur, KD; and Mildred Peter­son,
Theodore, TU.

Skit Night To Begin
Tuesday In Ac Building
Blue Key and Mortar Board will present their annual
skit night performances on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb.
28 and 29, at 7:30.
Twenty-five organizations, twenty fraternities and five
sororities, will exhibit their theatrical feats on the two nights.
As is customary, each evening
will have a different slate of or­ganizations
and a completely new
show.
Only five sororities are parti­cipating
this year because of an
agreement requested by the soro­rity
girls that half of the sorori­ties
should participate in skit
night and half in Sphinx Sing.
The sororities entering skit
night are Delta ^eta, Delta Delta
Delta, Kappa Delta. Chi Omega,
and Theta Upsilon.
The reason for the division in'1
the girls' competitibn is the stated
overburden of activities in pre­paring
for both skit night and
Sphinx Sing, among other activi­ties
of the sororities.
Mary Jo Hubbard and Jim Ros-ser
are co-chairmen this year of
the extravaganza sponsored an­nually
for many years by Blue
Key and Sphinx, which has re­cently
been accepted as a chapter
of Mortar Board, national wom­en's
honorary.
Profit from the performance
will be used by the sponsoring or­ganizations
jn their work for the
campus, which includes Home­coming
festivities, the annual
Sphinx Sing, and Blue Key's
Greenhill Scholarship Fund.
Last year's winners were Lamb­da
Chi and Phi Mu, whose skits
were entitled "Come to Auburn",
and "The Little Cobbler's Dream.'"

THIS WEEK'S LOVELIEST is all prepared for the pingpong

Date For Election
Of 'Miss Auburn'
Changed To Spring
New dates have been set for
Miss Auburn elections, according
to J. Lee Alley, superintendent of
political affairs. She will now
be .elected in the spring quarter
rather than late in the fall as she
has been in the past.
Student Senate action has
changed the system.so that Miss
Auburn would be present at more
than- just the Alabama football
game, and( the presentation of
prizes to the cake race winner,
states Jim Rosser, senate presi­dent.
Nominations for Miss Auburn
must be submitted by March 27.
Prlliminary < judging will be
March 29 and finalists will be
presented to the student body for
selection -at spring elections on
April 12.
Alley had this to say about the
change: "The new time for elec­tion
will be good. It will provide
us with an official representative
at all the fall football games,
which we have lacked- before. I
think it will be a real booster for
the 'Auburn Spirit'."
New One-Day High
Set For Blood Gifts
A total of 831 pints of blood
were donated to the Red Cross
l a s t , T u e s d a y , Feb. 14, in the
Student Union. Bill Amos,
chairman of the A u b u r n blood
drive,' stated that this amount
is t h e greatest ever received in
one day by one unit.
This record total would have
been even greater had another
blood unit been available for pro­cessing.
Many students who
wished' to donate had to leave be­fore
they were accepted. In
addition 47 students were reject­ed
for physical reasons.
Auburn holds the inter-coilegi-ate
record for total blood donat­ed".
The record was set in 1954
with 1800 pints being contributed.
The drive was held for two days.
Two units were used. Hence, the
1954 record was set with four
times the facilities that were
available this yean -

Village Fair Expanded Since Birth;
Presents Auburn's Best To Visitors
Since its birth in 1952, Auburn's Village Fair has contin­ued
to grow, and has become a firmly entrenched tradition.
This year's Fair shows prospects of being the biggest and
best so far.
Prior to 1952, different schools on campus held carnivals,
fairs, and exhibits individually
to encourage high school stu­dents'
interest in Auburn. In
1952 a special day was set aside
on the API campus for graduat­ing
seniors from Alabama high
schools to visit the Loveliest Vil­lage.
Each school on campus had
a display of its, work. Approxi­mately
500 people attended.
Although there was no central
theme for the first Village Fair,
the program of activities corres­ponded
to the one to be present­ed
this year. Most of the visitors
were housed on campus, but one
enthusiastic group set up its own
housing unit and camped out at
Lake Chewacla.
Ed Lee Spencer. Auburn,. was
the first chairman of Village
Fair. (Open House was the title
used until 1953). Denny Ray
was chairman in 1953, Chick
Watson in 1954, Strick Newsom
in 1955; and Fob James is chair­man
for 1956.
The program of events has been
the same each year, but the events
themselves get bigger and bigger.
Each year an innovation of some
sort is added. Village Fair was
originally a one-day affair, but
the second one received so much
response that the program was
lengthened to include a whole
weekend.
The Village Fair program is
designed to present Auburn at its
best-to its visitors'and prospec­tive
students. Besides the school
displays, there is? a parade with
floats, a wafer ballet by the Dol­phin
Club, an Auburn Players'
production, a baseball game, skits
from the best of skit night, a
band concert, and an informal
dance. The . Auburn churches
have become interested in Village
Fair and coordinate their services
to complete the picture of cam­pus
life with an accent on reli­gion.
All in all, it's quite a busy
weekend
The crowd estimated for the
1956 Village Fair is expected to
outstrip all past records. • The
Auburn Players will present sev­eral
performances of "Goodbye
My Fancy," and the Dolphins
will have to work overtime in
order to take care of the crowd.
Fob James, chairman of the
Village Fair committee, sums up
the success and progress of Vil­lage
Fair with, "As the activities
concerning Village Fair have
grown in the past several years,
so has student interest and par­ticipation,
and this in itself is the
major factor in the success and
growth of Village Fair."

A Campus-to^Career Case History
Cliff Downer (right), AM. in Mathematics, '49, M.S. in Civil Engineering,
'50, Harvard, on the site of a building construction project.

"Projects you can sink your teeth into"
Clifford J. Downer started his tele­phone
career in the building engineering
department of The Southern New Eng­land
Telephone Company. At present he
is working with the Bell System's manu­facturing
unit, Western Electric, helping
to build facilities for housing a Cpnti-^
nental Air Defense project. His assign­ment:
a key liaison job in supervising a
subcontractor's work on a several million
dollar construction operation.
"One of the most interesting features
of my present job," says Cliff, "is making
decisions on the spot. For example, draw­ings
showed where bedrock for footings
would be reached. Excavations revealed
a poor grade of rock. How much further
down do we go? A hundred workers and
tons of equipment are waiting for the
decision.
"There's a lot of future for a civil en­gineer
in the telephone business. New and
smaller types of telephone equipment will
jjrpbably change our ideas about h,ow
telephone buildings should be built. It's
fascinating work, all right. And broaden-
. ing, too, because it's leading me to other
engineering fields.
"It looks to me as if there are real
challenges ahead — projects you can sink
your teeth into. Besides, I'm convinced
the telephone business recognizes and
regards personal industriousness and
drive."
Interesting career opportunities of all kinds are
also offered by oilier Belt Telephone Companies
and Western Electric Company, Bejl Telephone
Laboratories and S a n d i a Corporation. Your
placement officer has more information about
these companies.

Drive Safely LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
The tragic death of a coed brings us
face to face with t h e fact t h a t it could have
been • a n y one of us. It is time for each
of us to ask ourselves, "Am I following
safety rules in m y d r i v i n g ?"
Although this is t h e f i r s t student death
this year, it is not t h e first traffic accident.
Other, more fortunate students have been
involved in wrecks earlier in t h e year. Be­fore
our traffic record gets any worse, let
us impress upon ourselves the fact that
accidents don't just happen; they are caus-'
ed.
Several near-accidents have been ob­served
on campus this year when cars en­t
e r i n g Thach have almost collided with
cars speeding down Thach. And t h i s reck­less
speed is only one example of thought­less
driving.
Many safe driving rules and safety
slogans have been used through the years,
but t h e most important one is, THINK.
Think of your passengers lying about t he
road, unmoving, quiet; or of a fellow stu­dent
hopelessly mangled; or of yourself,
crushed, crippled; or of t h e i r families, or
yours.
A moment's thought can save a lifetime
of grief.
Drive safely! Think!
Shake Hands With Brothers
In recognition of Brotherhood Week,
we reprint this column by Dr. H e n r y Ed­monds,
minister,- scholar, philosopher, and
author, who w r i t e s a daily column in t h e
Birmingham Post-Herald.
"The National Conference of Christians
and Jews celebrates Brotherhood Week
again this year. It is significant occasion
in American life. In fact it is a significant
occasion among the free peoples of the
earth, for t h e organization has spread far
beyond the boundaries of the United
States.
"In our own land, in h u n d r e d s of cities
and towns and in e v e r y state of t h e Union,
we shall stand together, announce to t h e
world, to each other as individuals and as
members of s e p a r a t e faiths and to our own
souls, that, as children of God, we a r e bro­t
h e r s to each other.
"Such a celebration far exceeds in im­portance
anything merely sentimental.
Consider t h e s t a t u r e of t h e m e n w h o from
t h e first have been in t h e l e a d e r s h i p of t he
Conference of Christians and J e w s and in
t h i s special emphasis year b y y e a r of what
t h e y a r e doing. In 1956, for example, t he
Honorary Chairman for Brotherhood Week
is Dwight D. Eisenhower. The chairman
for Alabama is Donald Comer. Alabama
members of t h e National Board are J a m e s
A. Head, Sri, Col. William S. Pritchard,
Louis Rosenbaum, Dr. Guy E. Snavely,
Adolph Weil, Sr.
" I n Brotherhood Week, Jews, Catholics
and Protestants say to themselves and to
t h e world: "We differ in our religious con­ceptions
and t h i s communal enterprise in
no way seeks to gloss over those differenc- •
es or to change them. We do, however,
affirm our agreements: We believe in
God and in a moral universe; and in a mo­r
a l universe and u n d e r God, w e affirm t he
brotherhood of man.
"Those affirmations have from t h e be­ginning
until now h e l d t h e w o r l d together.
And we went along carelessly taking
chances with them. In our generation,
however, half our w o r l d has split off, bla­t
a n t l y declaring: "There is no God a nd no
such thing as morality.
"That old song of t h e Hebrews has t he
words: "How good and h ow pleasant it is
for b r e t h r e n to dwell together in unity."
I n this Battle of t h e Ages we m a y amend
it to read: "How good and h ow pleasant
and how necess.ary it is for b r e t h r e n to
dwell together in u n i t y ."

1 BELIEVE
We Are All Brothers
BY DAN NEBRIG
I believe that during this week,
we who- profess to be lenient,* to­lerant,
and understanding in re­lation
to our fellow man should
stop and seriously consider our
true feelings in regard to what
we so loosely refer to as "broth­erhood."
For this is* National
Brotherhood Week alid we who
are about to make our dent in the
hard shell of society must realize
that any consideration of brother­hood
directly envolves our en­tire
personality.
During this day and time it
seems quite common for mari^to
attempt to extract from his fel­low
man a statement of basic
concept in order that conflict or
harmony might be made evident.
This being the case,, we must
clearly define our own beliefs
and have them so rooted within us
that they cannot be shaken by the
tide of public opinion.
Laying aside our prejudice,
our petty dislikes, and our false
pride, let "Us" view brotherhood
from a purely Christian point of
view. To do this, .try asking
yourself these questions and then
slowly and carefully supply your
own answer.
Do I really believe that all men
are brothers in God's sight and
therefore in mine
Do I really see each child or
adult as a person or only in the
stereotype I have learned about a
group to which he belongs?
Do I really believe each person
must be taken as an individual,
not as a religion or race?
Do I refer to the religion or
race or a person unnecessarily or
slightingly?
Would I try to sell my home
or move if a Protestant, Jew, Ro­man
Catholic, Negro, or alien
moved next door?
Would I vote for or against a
candidate for public office simply
because of his race .or religion?
Religious and social prejudice
have built up throughout the
world until today they have be­come
a high wall impeding man's
civilization. It is a wall that can­not
be cleared in one bound, but
during the years steps toward the
top have been tediously and oft­en
dearly laid.
It is our responsibility to God,
to our fellow man, and to. our­selves
to see that these steps are
not only preserved but that oth­ers
are added.
"Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a
cloud of witnesses, let us lay
aside every weight, and the sin
which doth so easily beset us, and
let us run with patience the race
that is set before us." Hebrews
12:1.

(Editor's note: The president
of the Southeastern Conference
has asked that all student and
alumni publications within the
Conference publish the follow­ing
resolution, pcapared by
Dean A. B. Moore of the Uni­versity
of Alabama. The resolu­tion
was. adopted by the una­nimous
vote o fthe SEC at its
annual meeting in Nashville,
Tenn., Dec. 9, 1955.
. In compliance with this re­quest,
The Plainsman presents
the resolution in full:
"Be It Resolved That,
"(1) On behalf of youth and the
cause of intercollegiate athletics
we ask all friends to cooperate
with us. We specifically request
that JIO alumnus or friends give
any financial aid or other reward
of value directly or indirectly to
any athlete or any members of
his family. Under Southeastern
Conference and NCAA rules fi­nancial
assistance can be offered
only by a member institution
through its regular , scholarship
committee.
"(2) Anyone who gives financi­al
assistance, not permitted by
rules, to athletes is contributing
to the degradation of youth and to
the disparagement of the good
reputation of his institution. In
the violation of rules which has
institution is honor bound to obey
and in corrupting youth, he does
not represent his institution, but
his institution is responsible to the
Conference for his conduct. We
challenge all to cooperate with
our institutions in the exercise of
their inescapable duty to main­tain
the highest ideals and un­questionable
integrity for the
proper development of youth.
"(3) We appeal to all who are
interested in intercolegiate athle­tics
and in helping to protect the
integrity of our educational insti­tutions
to cooperate with us in our
sincere efforts to preserve honest
and wholesome athletics; to be
outspoken in condemnation of the
violation of rules; and to cooperate
fully with the Commissioner of
the Conference in his investiga­tion
of alleged violations or rules.
"(4) We call upon all friends of
intercollegiate athletics to use
their strongest influence in the
cause of honesty and fair dealing
and to refrain from repeating wild
rumors about financial aid to
athletes. Groundless rumors have
frequently been ambarrassing to
the boy and the institution con­cerned.
Known violations should
be condemned and exposed, but
wild rumors about violations
should be a's positively discourag­ed.
"(5) In the recruitment of ath-
BY REQUEST
letes we are committed to the
policy of not interferring with
the studies of high school stu­dents.
We commend, the splendid
efforts of Commissioner B. H.
Moore along this line and his ef­forts
toward procuring the co­operation
of coaches and athletic
directors in the maintenance of
of high standards of athletic com­petition.
"(G) College coaches and athle­tic
directors are educators of boys
and not just sports technicians. It
is, therefore, their responsibility
to conduct their respective pro­grams-
in accordance with the
mandates of rules and of the high­est
principles. They can help to
promote the coaching profession
to a higher level of educational
relevance.
"(7) All alumni who participate
in the recruitment of athletes or
other students should observe the
highest ethical standards. They
should advocate their own insti­tutions
and carefully avoid criti­cisms
of other institutions. The
latter kind of activity is profes­sionally
unsound and unethical
and, therefore, should not be tole­rated.
Surely competition among
educational institutions should
not be on a lower ethical plane
than that maintained in business
and professions."
PURE GEMS
Can Segregation Be Preserved?
The South is losing the battle
for segregation. Our present de­termined
and unrelenting stand
Will only hasten further dissolu­tion.
Rash as this may sound, I
will nontheless attempt to prove
the point. And it is important
that this point be made clear, for
we Southerners cannot afford any
mistakes.
Our .efforts to date are based
on the assumptions that we can
defeat integration either by mass
rebellion or through political de­fiance.
Mass rebellion is justifi­ably
disdained by most Southern­ers.
And in the light of present
political failures, we are unlilcfely
to succeed by pursuing current
tactics.
For practical purposes the way
to preserve segregation, 1 believe,
cannot be through the militant
stand Senator Eastland and others
have advocated. In the first
place, the 'actions of some South­erners
have cast public misunder­standing
on the subject. Many
outsiders think of Southerners as
'Tobacco Road" whites whose bi­gotry
and prejudice force the Ne­gro
into subservience. Further de­fiance
on our part will only ag­gravate
this misunderstanding.
The South's actions are turning
public opinion toward^ sympathy
for the Negro and the" NAACP.
This is a costly blow to segrega­tion.
The South's problem would
be greatly reduced cotild we win
back national support and expose
the myths about the NAACP.
Riots, rabble-rousing, and public
rallies can never win that public
favor on a national scale.
Just how this lack of under­standing
by the rest of the nation
endangers segregation is revealed,
for example, in federal court de­cisions.
Federal judges, under
the pressure of national opinion,
are inclined to give pro-integra­tion
rulings. Dogmatic Southern
attitudes will further alienate the\
courts.
Because of adverse public opin­ion,
the South has now lost the
support of political power. Lead­ers
of both national parties have
opposed segregation.
The AFL-CIO has openly cri­ticized
Southern segregation.
With the rapid industrialization
of the South, and the subsequent
labor „ union invasion, further
pressures will be put on segrega­tion.
Furthermore, by taking a strong
stand, Southern whites encourage
Negroes to want things hitherto
undesired. In "reverse psychol­ogy"
fashion, we openly dare the
Negro to step out of bounds. The
Negro may just take that dare to
save face.
In the 'Bama case, for instance,
a Negro has accepted that dare.
This in itself is costly enough, but
the mass demonstrations only in-r
tensified that loss. And the fail­ure
of White Citizens' Council
to censure the demonstration in­timated
their approval.
Now Autherine Lucy will be­come
either a martyr or a heroine
v to her people. Either way, she
has served to further inspire the'
Negro to push for de-segregation
and has also won new sympathi­zers
for the NAACP.
By way of contrast, compare
the lack of complications over the
admission of Negroes to twelve
of the seventeen Southern state
universities. In these states Ne­groes
have few issues which they
can use to arouse them to action.
There is no challenge involved,
and hence no racial strife— and
little integration.
Most of us, I think, will aHmit
that integration will ultimately
occur. Our desire is to prolong
that event until we can accept
such a situation.
Toward, this end, the . South
must realize its dependence on
the rest of the nation and the pub­lic
opinion thereof. Pro-segrega­tion
is an issue of a minority.
Actually only four states (Ala.,
Miss., Ga., and S. C.) remain in
the truly "Solid South." They lose
allies by the day. No longer can
these four states afford to thumb
their nose at the United States.
Whether these states will admit
it or not, their relationship to the
rest of th6 country will determine
BY BILL KLEMM
their success or failure in pre­serving
segregation. If segrega­tion
is to persist, public opinion
must be catered to and won. In
the process, the NAACP must be
disfranchised.
To relieve pressures and to win
back public sympathy, the South
must show that it wants to help
the Negro. Riots, rallies, mur­ders,
etc. defeat any argument of
good intentions.
To gain that public favei. the
South may have to give giound.
The idea is to give sparingly and
in the areas where integration
could be most easily accomplish­ed.
College, for instance, should
be easy to integrate. It causes
needless turmoil when the masses
rebel against integration'in col­legiate
circles.
Actually the real fear is of so­cial
equality and miscegenation.
However, our fears seem some­what
magnified in relation to
their true dimensions. The North
has been integrated for nearly a
hundred years; yet social equality
and inter-man'iage have only be­gun
in the last decade—and then
only to a minor degree.
Besides college, there are other
areas which, when circumstance
demanded, could be opened as to­ken
cooperation. This could in­clude
such items as mixed sport­ing
events, chutches, professions,
hospitals, YM.CA groups, and the
like. Properly handled, this pro­gram
could be spread out over
ten- years. Meanwhile complete
integration in school and else­where
could be forestalled.
Such gestures could win back
public opinion, to the expense of
the NAACP and the cause of r a ­pid
integration. There are nu­merous
blemishes on the NAACP
record; but by our "fighting fire
with fire" tactics, we obscure
NAACP radicalism from the pub­lic
view.
The power is stacked against
the South. The time has come to
turn that power to our advantage,
rather than allow it to be used
against us.
ON OTHER CAMPUSES
Integration Poll
BY CECIL STOKES
'Bama is not the only school
making news lately. And it is not
the only one concerned with the
intergration question. Here are a
few of the .happenings of our col-legues
on other campusses this
week.
Integration in Florida's schools
will be the subject of a survey
taken of all students, faculty,
alumni, and student parents of the
University of Florida and other
state colleges, reports the Alliga­tor.
Results of the survey will be
tabulated and used by educators
and lawmakers in determining fu­ture
action to be taken in Florida
regarding segregation in state
schools.
Questipnnaires wil be mailed
directly to the persons involved
requesting that their opinions be
stated and returned.
Intergration at 'Ole Miss?
Results of a poll on integration
taken at the University of Miss­issippi
during registration showed
that the student" body favored seg­regation
by a 3 to 1 margin.
Actual figures show that of 2023
students polled; 74 percent favor­ed
segregation against 19 per cent
favoring integration. The remain­ing
students were either unde­cided
or did not care to say.
Also of interest is the fact that
the, majority of non-southeniers
also favored segregation at Ole
Miss. In all categories, those fav­oring
integration usually preferred
that it be,taken gradually.

fine were their numbers and per­formance,
that many had the
sensation that a Broadway musi­cal

Some of their numbers are
taken from Broadway hits such
as "Oklahoma," "The Boyfriend,"
and "Annie Get Your Gun." The
group does its own arrangements,
though, and if other acts are
needed to make their show bet­ter,
they create them.

work on the theory, that produc­tions
should be informal. They
also use a specific theme with
much variety for each show.
Since their first performance,
requests for their shows have

Cage Crew Upsets Prognosticators;
'Valiant7 Gridders Are 110-0 Losers
Tiger cage mentor Joel Eaves has done it again! He has
furnished Auburn with another basketball crew good enough
to upset the gloomy pre-season predictions accorded it by
most "expert" prognosticators.
His hard'wooders hold a surprising fourth place just
behind Alabama, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky in the race for the SEC
crown. Although no one thinks the Tigers will finish any better than
this, practically all observers will agree that they
could give the leaders quite a battle before the
season closes.
The Plainsmen have already handled Ken­tucky
rather roughly (though losing, 81-82), and
still have a chance to spoil the title plans of
Vandy and Bama. This Monday night they meet
the Commodores in the Sports Arena and then
move on to the Montgomery Coliseum for a
March 2nd tussle with the Tide. i .
History could repeat itself. Two years ago
Vandy beat Auburn, 96-48, in Nashville,' then
traveled down to the Plains for a late season re­turn
match. Bob Miller and his teammates cured
the Commodores of cockiness, tripping them, 76-
73.
As for Alabama, the Plainsmen haven't
come out on top since 1953, but the final fray of 1955 served
notice on Dee's herd that national standings mean very little when
The cross-state championship is involved. The Tigers finished
ahead of the "carpetbaggers" everywhere except on the score­board
in that game, but a late surge left the Tide in command of
that vital area, 84-80.
That night Alabama's big "Moose" Harper was too intent on
scoring to guard his man, and the Tigers got a 25 point production
out of that man—Kay Slayden. Guards Brownie Nelson and Bill
Kirkpatrick had a field day, but a one point Auburn lead went by
the boards with less than two minutes left to play and the Tide had
another victory over the Home State boys.
Odds and Ends . . .
Coronet Magazine recently published a glossary of grid terms
for football writers whose favorite teams failed to fare as hoped.
We have added a score from an actual game to illustrate each, situ­ation.
, UNBOWED: Close, but you lost. Mississippi State 26, Auburn
27 [1955).
SCRAPPY: Made a touchdown on the opponent's fourth team.
' Syracuse 6, Alabama 61 (1953 Orange Bowl).
OUTMANNED: Almost scored in lopsided white-washing.
Alabama 0, Auburn 28 (1954).
GAME: Took the ball up to midfield once. Furman 0, Auburn
52 (1955). T%,
FEARLESS: Racked up a first down. Florida 0, Auburn 68
(1917).
DARING: Recovered a fumble. Georgia Tech 0, Auburn 94.
(1894).
V A L I A N T : Kept eleven men out there all the time. Marion
Institute 0, Alabama 110 (1922).
GALLANT: Fielded a team when you know better. Florida
Southern 0, Florida 144 (1913). ,
PLUCKY: Escaped alive. Cumberland 0, Georgia Tech 222
(1916).
Just as a matter of statistical record it might be mentioned that
the Florida team which walloped "Gallant" Florida Southern 144-0
was trampled in its very next game. Auburn beat them 55-0.
As if football coaches don't have enough trouble, Arkansas
mentor, Jack Mitchell, has come Up with a new problem. The
Razorbacks' varsity grid roster lists two sets of twins (Charlie and
Benny Berry, John and Wayne Boles)—to say nothing of two
sets of brothers (Jerry and Alvin Ford, Ronnie and Billy Luplow.)
Then there are two R. Underwoods, unrelated, and two Charley
Campbells, also no relation. Coach Mitchell must be thankful that
their jersies are numbered.
At the Atlanta quarterback gathering a few weeks ago, Georgia's
Wally Butts was introduced and said he was grateful for being "rec-'
ognized. . . . He added that things were still going all right for Geor­gia
Tech's Bobby Dodd and further noted that if an atom bomb land­ed
in Atlanta, Dodd would come down with two pocketfuls of Uran­ium.
We -believe him!

Vol Tilt Slated For Saturday Night;
Vandy Contest Follows On Monday
By Richard Coiner
Plainsman Sports Writer
Auburn's cage t e am will, r e t u r n from a r o a d . t r i p in ithe
Bayou country this past week to take on two tough SEC
teams from Tennessee. The Sports Arena will be t h e scene
of t h e last home games this seaspn when the Tigers play!
Tennessee Saturday night and t h e n follow up with Vander^
bilt Monday. - i i
Through last week's contests
Auburn's cagers sport a 7-3 con­ference
record and a 10-7 over­all.
Saturday's victory over LSU
gave the Tigers a firm hold on
fourth place in the conference.
In Tennessee, the Tigers will
face a team that can be a lot of
trouble on a given night. Led
by the sixth highest scorer in the
SEC, center Carl Widseth, t he
Vols 'haye a 4-5 conference rec­ord
which ties them with Tulane
and Mississippi State for seventh
place. Over an 18 game span,
6'4" Widseth has scored 379 points
for a better than 21 points per
game average. Rounding out the
Volunteer's starting five are
guard Herman Thompson, 5'11",
guard Leon Ammermann, 6'0",
forward Lewis Neyland, 6'3", and
forward Bob Gipe, 6'5".
Vanderbilt moves into Auburn
Monday night holding down sec­ond
• place along with Kentucky.
The Commodores sport a 10-1
conference record and have lost
only two of twenty games over­all
this season. Led by guard Al
Rochelle, their brilliant junior
playmaker, Vandy has lost to only
Alabama in SEC play this season.
6'0" Rochelle, is backed up by
6'1" Bobby Thymn, forward; 6'1"
Bobby Taylor, guard; 6'7" center
"Babe" Harrison, and 6'6" for­ward
Joe Gibbs. -
Auburn's coach Joel Eaves will
probably start Bill McGriff, 6'8",
at center, Brownie Nelson, 5'11",
and Henry Sturkie, 6'0", at
guards, and Captain Jim O'Don­nell,
6'3", and Kay Slayden, 6'3",
at forwards.
In the 18 years that the SEC
has held cross-country meets,
Auburn has furnished seven of
the individual champions. These
are John Ball (1940-41-42), Whi-tey
Overton (1946-47), and John-
Barton (1953-54).
Grapplers Travel
To Sewanee, Tenn.
For SEIWA Meet
The highly successful wrestling
charges of Coach "Swede" Urn-bach
will journey to Sewanee,
.Tenn., this weekend in an effort
to cop their tenth consecutive
S o u t h e a s t e r n Intercollegiate
Wrestling Association Champion­ship.
In compiling an overall 7-1
seasonal record, the Tigers have
defeated every team entered in
the tournament with the excep­tion
of Sewanee, whom they did
not meet.
Victims of the Plainsmen have
been Emory, Marshall, Davidson,
Maryville, Chattanooga, and Van­derbilt
twice, while their 'lone
loss was ' at the hands of VMI
early in the season.
In last year's tourney, XJm-bach's
crew came back to t h e
Plains "with five of the nine' first
place medals. The five wrestlers
winning medals were Ray Down­ey.
Jerry Embryy Dick Downey,
Al Myers, and Glen Sanders.
Ray Downey set a tournpment
record by winning his fourth con­secutive
SEIWA crown. This
year his brother, Dick, will at­tempt
to tie that record having
already won championships for
the past three years. Wrestlers
who will participate in the tour­naments
are:
"I AIN'T GONNA do this no more." That's Donnie May's new
theme song. May was a quarterback in high school and here at Au­burn
until mid-season of last year. At that time he was switched.to
fullback, and becausa of his outstanding performance in Spring
practice is now rated as an outstanding prospect for Joe Childress'
old post.

Spring Grid Drills Near A-Day Climax;

main problems facing grid coach "Shug" Jordan ,and his
assistants during spring practice. Jordan seems to have

1955 starter, and Jimmy Cook;
left half Bobby Hoppe, a part-time
starter, and reserve fullback
Jim Walsh.
. With the A-Day game just a
week and a half off, the. Saturday
afternoon of March 3, Coach
Ralph Jordan is alternating the
• candidates at present, but hopes
to draw some form of conclusion
sby game time. .1
Tubbs, a Birmingham senior, is
the most experienced of the re­turnees
but his job isn't won by
any means. Howell engineered
eight wins, one loss, and one tie
last fall, but the improvement of
Cook and Soph Frank Riley, plus
the potential of sophomores
George Egge and Lloyd Nix
leaves the job in jeopardy.
Hoppe, the Chattanooga junior,
was switched from right to left
halfback at the start of spring
training and finds himself in a
bed of red-hot talent — namely
sophs Tommy Lorino and Louis
Preis. Bobby shared a starting
assignment with Alton Shell last

What young people are doing at General Electric
Young manager
handles finances for
'40,000,000 business
General Electric is made up of more than
90 product departments that operate as in­dividual
"businesse's" — each conducting its
own legal, financial, manufacturing, engi­neering,
marketing and research activities.
One of the most important of these busi­nesses
is the Technical Products Department
that makes broadcasting and communica­tions
equipment and semi-conductor devices.
Responsible for managing the finances of
this $40 million business is Robert H. Piatt.
Piatt's Work Is Important, Responsible
In the next ten years, the Technical Products
Department is expected to reach the $100
million mark —more than doubling its
present size. This is a big job. And it requires
Piatt to keep tabs on everything from tax,
cost, and general accounting to payrolls,
budgets and measurements, credits and col­lections,
and internal auditing.
25,000 College Graduates at General Electric
Experience gained in the Business Training
Course and as a traveling auditor gave Piatt
a variety of financial experience. Like each
of our 25,000 college-graduate employees,
he was given the chance to grow and realize
his full potential. For General Electric has
long believed this: When fresh young minds
are given the freedom to make progress,
everybody benefits — the individual, the
company, the country. .. ; -i •,, C

Plainsmen Triumph
Over LSU, 80-71,
In Baton Rouge
After being as cold as ice in
the first half, Auburn's cagers
came back in the second half at
Baton .Rouge to take their sev­enth
SEC victory of the season.
The Plainsman just didn't have
it the first 20 minutes of the con­test,
making only nine of 32 field
goal attempts. However, their
defense was nearly air tight, and
they managed to leave the court
at half-time with a 31-30 lead.
With 14 minutes left to play,
Captain Jim O'Donnell scored a
field goal to put the Tigers; ahead,
44-43, to stay. Kay Slayden was
high man for the Plainsmen with
16 points. Substitute sophomore
forward Bobby Tucker played
his best game of the seajon and
finished with 13 points. O'Donnell
had 13 and center Bill McGriff
12.
Auburn couldn't seem to solve
the Bengal's zone defense in the
first half but found the answers
later and LSU was forced to shift
to an ineffective man-to-man.
Roger Sigler, the SEC's lead­ing
scorer, bucketed 27 points
for the losers. He injured his
knee in the third quarter and fin­ished
the game limping badly.
Opelika's Gift Hi
Wins Team Trophy
In Grappling Meet
Clift High School of Opelika
took the team trophy in the first
annual Alabama State High
School Wrestling Tournament
held at Auburn last week. Rob­ert
E. Lee of Montgomery was
the runnerup. ^
Clift had five individual
champions. Lee had two.
Auburn wrestling coach Arnold
"Swede" Umbach, who staged the
'.ourney, termed the response
very satisfying" as seven schools
mtered 75 boys.
Opelika chamos were Joe.
Smith (120), Billy Cooper (133),
Somers Dean (145), Larry Black
(154), and Jesse Gunn (unlim-
>ted) . Lee's two champs were
Jimmy Taylor (127) and Skeajer
Gunn (138).
Opelika finished with 147 points
and Lee came in with 84. Alex
City was third with 47, Pepperell
fourth with 24, Auburn fifth with
15, Lanier of Montgomery sixth
with 13, and John Carroll of Bir­mingham
was seventh with 11.
Points were awarded as fol­lows:
10 for first place, seven for
second, four for third, and two
for fourth. One point was award­ed
each team for a pin and one
each time a man advanced.

THE CARE AND FEEDING OF ROOM-MATES
Today we take up room-mates, a delightful phenomenon of
American college life. Having a room-mate is not only heaps of
fun; it is also very educational, for the proper study of mankind
is man, and there is no better way to learn the dreams and
drives of another human being than to share a room with him.
This being the case, it is wise not to keep the same room-mate
too long, because the more room-mates you have, the more you
will know about the dreams and drives of human beings. And
that's what we're all after, isn't i t?
So t ry to change room-mates as often as you can. A recent
study made by Sigafoos of Michigan State shows that the best'
interval for changing room-mates is every four hours.
Now let us discuss how to go about choosing a room-mate. Most
counselors agree that the most important thing to look for in
room-mates is that they be
people of regular habits. This,
I say, is arrant nonsense. What
if one of their regular habit3
happens to be beating a great
gong from midnight to three
a.m.? Or growing cultures in
the tooth glass? Or reciting
the Articles of War? Or peanut
brittle?
Regular habits indeed! I say
that beyond quibble, far and
away the most important qual­ity
in room-mates is that they
be exactly your size. Otherwise
you will have to have their
clothes altered to fit you, which
can be a considerable nuisance.
In fact, it is sometimes flatly
impossible. I recollect one time
I roomed with a man named
Tremblatt Osage who was just
under seven feet tall" and weighed nearly four hundred pounds.
There wasn't a blessed thing I could use in his entire wardrobe—
until one night when I was invited to a masquerade party. I
cut one leg off a pair of Tremblatt's trousers, jumped into it,
sewed up both ends and went to the party as a bolster. (Inci­dentally,
I took second prize. First prize went to a girl named
Antenna Wilkins who poured molasses over her head and went
as a candied apple.)
But I digress. Let us get back to the qualities that make de­sirable
room-mates. Not the least of these is the cigarettes they
smoke. When we borrow cigarettes, do
we want them-to be harsh, shoddy, and
disdainful of our palates? Certainly
not! What, then, do we want them to
be? Why, we want them to be gentle,
delicately-reared, and designed to suit
the tempo of today's broader, easier
life! And what cigarette is gentle,
delicately-reared, and designed to suit
the tempo of today's broader, easier
life? Why, Philip Morris, of corris!
(I'll bet you knew it all the time!)
To go on. In selecting a room-mate,
take great pains to find someone who
will wear well, whom you'd like to keep
as a permanent friend. Many of his­tory's
great friendships first started in
college. Are you aware, for example,
of the remarkable fact that Johnson
and Boswell were room-mates at Ox­ford
in 1712? What makes this factj?
so remarkable is that in 1712 Johnson
was only three years old and Boswell
had not been born yet. But, of course,
children maturedmuch earlier i a those
days. Take Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
who wrote his first symphony at the
age of four. Or Titian, who painted his first masterpiece at five.
Or Hans Otto McGrath, who was in many ways the most remark­able
of all; he was appointed chief of the Copenhagen police
department at the age of six!
( I t must be admitted, however, that the appointment was less
than a success. Criminals roamed the city, robbing and looting
at will. They knew young McGrath would never pursue them;
he was not allowed to cross the street.) ©M«* shuiman. woe
The makers of Philip Morris, who sponsor this column, cordially
invite you and your room-mate to try today's new, gentle Philip Morris.
It's always welcome!

Auburn Freshmen
Win Two More;
Keep Record Clean
By Bryant Castellow.
. P l a i n s m a n Sports Writer
The Baby Tigers of Auburn
remained undefeated thus far
t h i s season and brought their
record to nine wins and no
losses recently by winning
craer t h e Georgia Tech Fresh­men
and Langston Finance
Company from Montgomery in
action two weeks ago.
In a tight game in the Sports
Arena, the frosh battled Georgia
Tech to a 79-71 win. The Tech
freshmen, led by a one-handed
push shot artist named Terry
Randall were always within a few
goals of the lead until late in the
fourth period when the Tiger
Freshmen blasted out a 15-p6int
margin over the Rambling
Wrecks.
Huntsville's Tyrone Samples
was the leading scorer with 21
points and was closely followed
by Jimmy Lee's 19, Henry Hart
with 16, and Rex Fredrich with 15.
The following Friday night, the
Frosh Plainsmen again took con­trol
at the Sporty Arena and
Qutplayed a slower Langston Fi­nance
Co. Team, 85 to 52.' Lang­ston
has been the best team in
the Men's League in Montgomery
for several years but they were
no match for the speed and ball
handling of the freshmen.
The Frosh were led by Lee who
sank 27 points. Samples was sec­ond
with 21 points and Jabbo
Waggoner scored 12.
The only remaining game left
on the schedule will be March 2
i n l the Montgomery Coliseum
when the Plainsmen meet the
Alabama" freshmen.

A FISHERMAN at heart is HehryVSturkie, hot-shot guard on
the Tiger cage team. Although Sturkie doesn't have much time for
his favorite outdoor sport these day's, he claims that things will be
different as soon as the seasons change.
Henry Sturkie, "Most Improved"
On Plainsman Basketball Crew
By George Wendell
Assistant .Sports Editor
"Probably the most improved boy on our ball club.
This is the way head basketball coach Joel Eaves expressed
himself in regard to Henry Sturkie, 6 ft. guard from Gadsden
Henry, a junior, is in his third year of varsity ball, but
this,season is,'by far, his most successful. At present he.is
running a close race with Kay
Slayden for field goal accuracy,
having canned 45.2 per cent of his
attempts from the floor. Thus
far this season,his best game was
against Kentucky, in which he
scored 15 points. His all-time high
for Auburn is 16, coming against
Vandy his freshman year and
Howard last year. .
Henry played his high school
ball at Gadsden where he was a
first stringer for almost, three
years. In' his junior year he was
awarded All-County honors, and
in his senior year he gained a
berth on both the / All-County
and All-District teams.- While in
high school, Henry set the indi­vidual
scoring record for one
game with a mark of 52 points.
He also set the individual scoring
record for a season, maintaining
a 20.4 point average per game.
Besides basketball Henry also
lettered in football, baseball and
track.
Vice-president of the A Club,
the 20 year old sharpshooter is
averaging about nine points per
game. * Henry says that the Tech
game was the best team victory,
but he is looking, forward to the
Alabama and Vanderbilt games.

Preliminary debates will be

the times that it would '
prefer.
Gibson, in speaking of the gen­eral
interest in. the debate, said.
"The response so far has been
very good on a verbal basis, but
the entries are rather slow. Of
course we usually don't, receive
the majority of the entries until
just before the tournament.
The preliminary debates will
be judged by a faculty member
and final debates, by one fac­ulty
member and two Debate
Council, members. Trophies will
be awarded the first and sec­ond
place winners.
