Invitations for seniors graduat­ing

'LOVELIEST of the PLAINS'
Blue Key to award
Homecoming prizes
in two categories
Fraternities will be divided in­to
two categories for Homecoming
decoration competition announced
Blue Key President Bill-Ham to­day.
According to Ham, the division
will be based on the number, of
pledges and actives in each fra­ternity.
That is, the smaller fra­ternities
will be competing w i th
groups their own size and not
against Greeks whose organiza­tions
outnumber them by a large
percentage.
. The change was reportedly
made to strengthen interest in
float building, especially among
the smaller groups, and concur­rently
to keep an unlimited ceil­ing
on the price of decorations.
Until last year, floats in com­petition
for the trophies could not
cost more than $75. The rule was
changed for the 1958 Homecoming
to the effect that there would be
no limit on the price.
"Blue Key members," said Ham,
"considered this unfair to groups
with little comparative manpow­er."
Blue Key is the sponsor of
the entire Homecoming weekend.
At press time, it was not known
exactly where the line would be
drawn for the division, but Ham
thought the number in each cate­gory
would be nearly even. Each
fraternity will be notified of its
classification later this week.
Plans for the decorations must
be submitted to a screening board
before actual construction begins
to prevent several fraternities
from having the same theme.
A first place trophy will be
awarded to the winner of each
category and either a trophy or
a bowl will go to the runner-up.

Field in A t l a n t a Saturday.
Tech holds a 31-26 edge in the
traditional rivalry, and goes into
the game with a 3-0 season's rec-
| ord. The Plainsmen, seeking their
second SEC victory, hope to re­verse
last year's role. Prior to
the. Tennessee game, the '58 Grant
Field tie was the only blemish on
Auburn's unbeaten streak.

Students, alumni, and other
spectators may take advantage of
the "War Eagle Special," a train
leaving for the game at 8 a.m.
Saturday and returning to Auburn
at 8 p.m. the same day.
Victory at Grant Field is vital
to both teams in terms of pres­tige
and national recognition. Tech
defeated Kentucky 14-12 and last

Plans for rotational pledge swap system
discussed by the Inter-Fraternity Council
THIS LITTLE GIRL has a per­fect
attendance record at Auburn
pep rallies this fall. We could not
find out who she is but if anyone
is missing a little girl . . .
A resolution featuring rotat­ional
pledge swaps between sor­orities
and fraternities was intro­duced
to t h e Interfraternity
Council in a meeting last Thurs­day
at the Union Building.
The plan, which has been ap­proved
by t h e Pan-Hellenic
Council, calls for two required
pledge swaps a quarter per soror­ity,
not including summer quar­ter.
In addition, each sorority may

Union lobby display of International Relations
Club marks annual United Nations Week here
In observance of United Na­tions
Week, (October 21-27), the
International Relations Club is
presenting a display in the Union
lobby. A dance will also be held
in conjunction with the Union
Dance Committee on October 22
at 9 p.m. in the Union Banquet
Room. Decorations and activities
are being planned for this occa­sion.
During the year the club
also hopes to arrange for a variety
of programs.
T h e International Relations
Club was organized to foster a
better understanding of. interna­tional
affairs. The main purpose
is to promote the study and dis­cussion
of world affairs from an
unprejudiced and objective point
of view and to exert mutual ef­fort
to fix the attention of all
members on those underlying
principles of international con­duct
and of international organi­zation
which must be agreed up­on
and put into action if a peace­ful
civilization is to continue.
Advisors for this club have in­cluded
the following: Professors
Oliver T. Ivey (History Dept.), T.
P. Atkinson (Foreign Language
Department), C. McNorton (His­tory
Dept.), Dr. Robert B. Skelton
(Foreign Language Dept.), and
M. E. Findley (Chemistry Engi­neering
Dept.).
The IRC is not exclusively for
foreign students. Any API stu­dent
interested in its program is
urged to participate. In fact, the
members believe that the more
participation on the part of Amer­ican
students, the more success­ful
the club will be in achieving
its goals. The meetings are also
open to any of the Auburn towns­people
who might be interested.
The Club began this year's ac­tivities
by having their annual
election of officers last week. The
new officers are: President, Javad
Bazargani (Iran); vice-president,
Hazina Azzovz (Iraq); secretary,
Judie Collins (U.S.); treasurer,
Ray Jones (U.S.). The club's
membership at present embraces
13 nations including Brazil, Cana­da,
China, Holland, Hungary, Iran,
Iraq, Jordan, Norway, Guatema­la,
United Arab Republic and the
United States. The present mem­bership
numbers 25.
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on these
days. The clinic will be set up in
front of the Union Building. Fri­day,
Nov. 6, colored employees of
API will have their X-rays taken.
Letters containing an appoint­ment
slip will be mailed in an at­tempt
to avoid congestion and
confusion. However, an appoint­ment
is not necessary.
In the past, thij drive has help­ed
in detecting tuberculosis on
the Auburn campus, says Grant,
and in such a close environment
it is important that any case be
found.
Flu and polio shots are among
other student health protections
offered by the College Infirmary.
These shots are given in the clinic
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday, and from 8 to 11
11:30 a.m. on Saturdays.
Polio vaccine must be bought
at a drug store and, in order to
be given at the infirmary, must
be accompanied by a certificate
of previous shots or permission
from the parents of any student
under 21. The cost of the vaccine
is $1. This is a considerable sav­ing
over private innoculations.
The flu shots are free.
Mrs. Kenny Howard, of the Col­lege
Infirmary, says there has
been response to these services.
With the flu season here, students
should take advantage of the
shots. There is danger, since the
greatest polio season is just over,
that students will neglect this
precaution. Mrs. Howard reminds
students that polio can strike at
any time of the year, and it takes
8 to 9 months to complete the se­ries
of shots.
have two pledge swaps during
fall quarter and three swaps dur­ing
winter and spring with any
fraternity of their choice.
If passed by IFC, the sororities
would be allowed to have eleven
swaps per year instead of the
ten they have had previously.
The idea had its birth at a soc­ial
chairman's meeting last year
in the Kappa Delta chapter room
during Greek Week. It was ori­ginally
intended as a precaution­ary
measure preventing the for­mation
of cliques between cer­tain
fraternities a n d sororities,
and to give every campus Greek
group an equal social chance.
According to the resolution, a
"Greek social committee" com­posed
of appointees from Pan-
Hellenic and IFC will be the gov­erning
body of the system. This
group will decide which frater­nity
and sorority will party to­gether
and in what quarter they
will do it. However, it will be up
to the individual Greek organi­zation
to arrange an exact date.
After the original designation,
the rotation will be in effect and
each sorority will party with each
fraternity once every four years.
LIBRARY HOURS INCREASED
Hours of service :at the API
Library are being increased by
student request, according to an
announcement made today by
Clyde H. Cantrell, Director of
Libraries. The only change at
this time will be in service on
Sunday when the library will be
open from 2:00 p.m. until 10:00
p.m.
"Many students feel the need
for library hours on Sunday
evening, especially when they
have been out of town or when .
they h a v e enjoyed a foot­ball
weekend," said Cantrell.
He further stated that if the
student use of the library jus­tifies
the extended hours of
Sunday, they will be continued
indefinitely.
For the last few years, many
students have felt that the lib­rary
should offer service on
Sundays. The weekend services
in the branch libraries on the
campus will not be changed.
burn's record shows a loss to
Tennessee of 3-0, but a crushing
win over Kentucky, 33-0.
Comparison of Tennessee games
would make the Yellow Jackets
one touchdown favorites. How­ever,
Kentucky's games indicate
Auburn by 30 points. To further
complicate predictions, Tech has
been well night invincible at
home. Early in the week, experts
were still sitting on the fence.
In addition to the traditional
rivalry and Conference standings,
the game will sharply affect na­tional
rankings.
The Tigers are having routine
practice this week, which consists
of one hour of group drills and
thirty minutes of offensive-de­fensive
practice.
"The boys are in shape," ac­cording
to C. L. "Shot" Senn, of­fensive
line coach of the team.
"They played a beautiful game
last Saturday. They wanted it and
they got it." Regarding the forth­coming
game, Coach Senn is opti­mistic,
but says that much de­pends
upon spirit.
Social events this weekend in­clude
numerous parties and re­ceptions
by individuals, Tech fra­ternities,
and other groups. The
annual Friday night dance at the
Coliseum has been cancelled be­cause
of lack of participation.
Sportsmanship and good rela­tions
between Auburn and Tech
are particularly stressed t h is
weekend. Freshmen are urged to
refrain from wearing rat caps to
the game. Members of Blue Key
and ODK will act as "policemen"
to further guard against regret­table
occurrences.
Tickets for the game are sold
out both at Auburn and Atlanta.
Stories out of Atlanta report that
a pair between the 40's may bring
as high as $50, but that scalpers
are still letting go of end zone
seats for little more than face
value.
Classified student directory set
for distribution in early December
The Student Directory is being
revised and is not expected to be
distributed until the first part of.
December, according to L. B.
Williams of the API News Bureau.
The directory is a classified
listing of administration, staff,
faculty and students.
Various revisions are being
made but essentially the directory
will remain the same as last year.
At present the changes are being
made according to information
contained on the registration
cards for this quarter. The TU-xedo
prefix on all telephone num­bers
will not be printed. This de­cision
was made in order to pro­vide
more space for names in the
student section.
The following information is
found in the student section of.
the directory: student's name, his
home address, class and course,
religious preference, Auburn ad­dress
and telephone number.
Students will be notified as to
the actual date of issuance and
place of distribution. The Plains­man
will carry any further de­tails
of distribution later in the
quarter.

Technique editor stresses better relations
between Auburn, Tech students Saturday
By Paul Hodgdon
Editor: the Technique
S a t u r d a y at two o'clock two powerful teams will meet
each other on Grant Field in Atlanta.
Who will be the victor, no one now can safely say, but
i t can b e said t h a t the game will be a hard-fought contest be­tween
two of the top teams in the nation and t h a t it will be
over only when the final siren sounds.
Spirit is high now at Tech, and we all look forward with
great enthusiasm and anticipation to Saturday's game. We
know Auburn is good, but we. also k n ow t h a t Tech has what
i t takes, too. We know the game will be played hard and
well, and we intend to help as much as w e can by cheering
from the stands; we feel sure the Auburn student body will
do likewise.
As the players knock heads and b a t t l e it out on t h e field,
the student bodies of these two institutions will display a
r i v a l r y in the stands, cheering their respective teams on to
what they hope will be victory.
As m a t u r e and sensible students of two great southern
schools, we don't intend to bring d i s c r e d i t ' o n either of our
schools b y some act which we may do in haste. We will be
behind our team every minute, every second, and after the
game we will be behind t h em still — win, lose, or d r a w -
but we don't wish to involve ourselves in anything which
may prove detrimental to the good name of our football team,
our student body, and our school itself.
I t is our duty to our Alma Maters t o see t h a t t h e dignity
of the two institutions is not marred.

Huntsville space medicine expert
gives illustrated talk on zero gravity
By Alan Taylor
Dr. Seigfried J. Gerathewohl,
space medicine expert from Red­stone
Arsenal, was the featured
speaker at the Auburn Chapter of
the American Rocket Society last
Tuesday evening. Proceeding the
lecture, Dean Fred H. Pumphrey
made some important presenta­tions.
Dr. Gerathewohl, chief scientist
of Bioastronautical Research at
Huntsville's Army Ordinance Mis­sile
Command, presented an illus­trated
lecture on Zero Gravity in
Space Flight. He presented the
unclassified results of the attempts
man has made to simulate free
fall or zero gravity.
Using several m o v i e s and
a number of slides, Dr. Gerathe­wohl
showed the effects of weight­lessness
on mice, cats, monkeys
and finally men. One of. the mo­vies
was a filmed account of the
months of preparation that pre-ceeded
the famous Able-Baker
space flight and recovery at sea.
Another movie was a series of
comical attempts by some army
officers to drink and eat under
weightless conditions.
Using the movies as a guide Dr.
Gerathewohl extended his discus­sion
to include the psychological,
physiological and mechanical pro­blems
that will arise when man
breaks through into space.
Prior to the lecture by the Ar­my
scientist, Dean Pumphrey, of
the School of Engineering, made
some important awards. John W.
Gresham, Jr., was the recipient of
a Department of the Army Sus­tained
S u p e r i o r Performance
Award. This award, with a check
for $100, was presented to Mr.
Gresham for his superior perfor­mance
during two quarters he
spent at Huntsville. Along with
the award, there was a note of
commendation for API's part in
making the award possible.
Army Ballistic Missile Agency
Awards that had been made ear­lier
in the year went to William
Hooper IM, Eugene Cooper, AE,
and Carl Jeffcoat, EE.

I f s been said that the atomic submarine
"Nautilus" stays submerged so long that it
only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist.
Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken
valuable space aboard the "Nautilus" for the
only soft-drink vending machine in the entire
submarine fleet.
Naturally (or you wouldn't hear about it
from «8) it's a Coca-Cola machine. And not
unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite

RESEARCH ENGINEERS:
THE MEN BEHIND THE HEADLINES
NAA's On-Campus Interviews Oct. 27
EARLY EVERY DAY you read of another ad­vance
in science . . . whether it's a space
I vehicle streaking toward Venus or a sub­marine
gliding beneath the polar ice.
These are the events that make head­lines...
but even as they are announced
to the world, engineers and scientists are
planning new and greater achievements
and research shows them the way.
Scientific research always has had an important role at
North American Aviation. Today, research projects are
underway at more than 185 laboratories in the six North
American divisions. They encompass the full scope of mod­ern
science.
Is air stiffer than steel?
Not all research has the headline appeal of a space ship
or nuclear power. For example, research engineers at the
Autonetics Division, which designs and manufactures space-age
navigation systems, found new and different ways of
building rotating bearings... and found that air is stiffer than
steel for some purposes. Improved gyroscopes and magnetic
recordings were important results of this research.
A cigarette's place in research
Even the ordinary cigarette has a role in scientific research.
Scientists at the Aero-Space Laboratories, an organization
within North American's Missile Division, use a burning cig­arette
in a still room to illustrate the difference between
laminar flow and turbulence in the boundary layer, the very
thin air space that lies along the outer skin of an aircraft or
missile. This research is part of a program to find ways to
protect missiles, satellites and space ships from burning when
they re-enter the earth's atmosphere.
Toward the conquest of Space
The Rocketdyne Division has designed and built the bulk
of today's operating hardware in the high-thrust rocket field.
Explorer I, America's first satellite, was boosted into orbit by
a Rocketdyne engine... and three-fourths of the power for
Able IV-Atlas-man's first attempt to reach toward another
planet-comes from liquid-propellant engines designed and
built by Rocketdyne. Researchers at Rocketdyne delve into
the chemistry of propellants, the physics of engine compo­nents
and what happens within them, ignition of fuels, com­bustion
of fuels, and the transfer of heat.
2,000 mph manned weapon systems
The Los Angeles Division is the home of next-generation
manned weapon systems-the Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie and
F-108 Rapier-and America's first manned space vehicle, the
X-15 Research engineers in this division investigate maniv
factoring techniques, conduct studies in aerodynamics, mate­rials
and processes, and thermodynamics. They also work
with physiologists, biotechnologists, biophysicists, and psy­chologists
to solve design problems concerning human capa­bilities
and limitations that arise from modern weapons and
research systems.
Building better Navy aircraft
Analysis of aircraft carrier operation is a major research
project at the Columbus Division. This division designed and
built the Navy's T2J Buckeye jet trainer and the Navy 3
supersonic, all-weather A3J Vigilante. Research activities
are diverse here-from how to illuminate an aircraft cockpit
to developing unmanned vehicles and systems to perform
within the earth's atmosphere.
Developing the peaceful atom
The work at the Atomics International Division of North
American is part of a large national research effort aimed at
the peaceful atom. Success in the development of economical
power from the atom depends on thorough knowledge in
every phase of atomic power systems and their materials of
construction. Atomics .International research reactors are in
service in Japan, Denmark, West Germany, West Berlin, and
Italy.
Opportunities for college graduates
Today at North American there is outstanding opportunity
for young engineers who want to share the unusual creative
problems that face science. You can rapidly build a sound
engineering career by working on the top-level projects now
underway. Visit your placement office where you'll find all
the facts about a challenging and rewarding future with
North American.

Tamblyn to give piano concert
opening faculty series tonight
William Tamblyn presents Au­burn's
first of the 1959-60 Faculty
Artist Series tonight at 8:15 in
Langdon Hall.
Tamblyn is pianist and assoc­iate
professor of music at API.
His concert will include composi­tions
by Schumann, Haydn, Bach
and Bartok.
During the school year, the API
music department will present a
series of eight concerts by its fa­culty
artists. Hubert Liverman,
head of the department, said the
series is being given to present
the best of music on the Auburn
campus for students, faculty and
community.
A graduate of Auburn High
School, Tamblyn received his
Bachelor of Science in Music
from API. He was awarded his
Master of Music degree from the

Union Dance Committee announces
cancellation of Eagles Nest hops
The Union Dance Committee has
announced that the Eagle's Nest
scheduled for Friday night has
been cancelled. In evaluating it's
program, the committee generally
decided to accept the suggestion
to.do so. The primary reasons
were that too few students are
genuinely interested in this par­ticular
phase of the dance pro­gram
and too many students leave
town on this weekend to justify
the expense of the dance. Plans
are now being made to revise the
present dance program completely
in an effort to give the student
body what they want.
The Eagle's Nest scheduled for
Oct. 23 has also been cancelled;
however, immediately following
the Fall Talent Show on Oct. 22,
there will be a dance and floor
show in the Banquet Room. This
dance is an effort to observe
United Nations Week. The Inter­national
Relations Club in con­junction
with the Dance Com­mittee
has obtained late permis­sion
for all those girls who will
attend, and the decorations re­portedly
will offer a pleasant sur­prise
to all who come.
versity of Rochester. During the
past several years, Tamblyn has
gained the reputation of being an
outstanding artist through his
performances in Auburn and in
a series of concerts over the Ala­bama
Educational Television net­work.
Besides as a pianist, Tamblyn
has attracted attention with his
musical compositions, some of
which have been performed at
the Eastman School of Music and
conducted by Dr. Howard Han­son,
noted American composer-conductor-
musician.

Demolish engineers 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, October 14, 1959
W. H. Byrd
WRECK TECH . . . so screams the
"end-of-the-world" headline every year at
this lime. So scream Auburn students
every year at this time. The rivalry is,
by one y e a r over Alabama, our oldest.
Over the years, many customs and a great
deal of feeling has come to surround the
annual gridiron battle (and the fraternity
ro\y battle).
The excitement in Auburn starts a
week early, in fact, the weekend starts a
week early. Immediately after the pre­vious
week's game, fans analyze the team's
performance to date in light of what it
might mean at Grant Field the following
Saturday.
Discussion of the latest Yellow Jacket
game, Monday morning quarterbacking
and praising (or censuring) the latest na­tional
rankings occupy the time until Tues­day
night.
Wednesday belongs to t h e students.
This afternoon, following a tradition hand­ed
down by generations of Auburn stu­dents,
the freshmen will stage the annual
Pajama Parade. Very nearly all the fresh­men
girls take part in the parade. Student
leaders in the fraternities and dormitories
encourage their freshmen to make an ap­pearance.
This year we hope to see more
of the boys—from boarding houses in town
—marching to Cliff Hare Stadium. Ac­cording
to o u r student opinion column,
freshmen are strongly in favor of living up
to their traditions . . . now's the time! So
let's live it up!
All pf us should be at the pep rally after
the parade. What better send-off could
we give the team than to top all previous
pep rallies for attendance and enthusiasm?
Another annual affair, the War Eagle
Special, leaves Auburn Saturday morning.
This year there will be one welcome dif­ference:
members of Scabbard and Blade
will ride the train to provide any assis­tance
that may be necessary on the trip.
Two members will ride each student car,
and we hope their presence will help to
prevent a repeat of last year's incident
when one Auburn student was injured.
Need a word of warning be given to
those who intend to drive there? Or es­pecially,
drive back.
The tremendous display of Auburn
Spirit, the parties, the traditions, the par­ties,
the War Eagle Special and the parties
all build to the climax on Grant Field Sat­urday
afternoon. The Auburn Spirit has
always been unequalled at the Tech con­test.
But let's confine o u r energies to
cheering the team to victory. Auburn has
a reputation to maintain from prior visits
to Atlanta. Despite t h e intense rivalry
and high feelings during the game, the
conduct of the majority of Auburn stu­dents
has been exemplary. That is one im­portant
tradition we should all strive to
maintain this weekend.
And for those whose spirit comes out of
their hip pocket, we remind you that the
cracks between the seats are pretty wide
at Grant Field. More than one spectator
has watched (presumably!) t h e greater
part of the game while in a horizontal posi­tion
underneath the stands.
Judging from the tone of the Better Pve-lations
Conference and the guest editorial
this year, Tech seems to be willing to be­have.
Auburn must not be the one to mar
the record. • •
There is one other tradition that we
neglected to mention. Auburn started the
series in 1892 with a 26-0 win over the
Georgia Institute of Technology. And al­though
we're behind in the series by five
games, it's been three years since Tech has
beaten us. Let's make it four years with
another victory Saturday.
Anyone know where I can get a Tech
ticket?—Jennings
A welcome change
Members of Blue Key made one of the
biggest revisions in years when they voted
to split fraternities into two categories for
judging Homecoming decorations.
The social pressure that this action re­lieves
can be measured only by the thank­ful
sighs heaved by presidents of many
small fraternities that have competed
every year, at a great expense, with little
hope of winning. '
Calling for an almost equal division,
(small Greeks in one group and their larg­er
brothers in another,) the new rule will
give every organization an easier shot at a
trophy. A first place and runner-up trophy
will be presented in each category. This
makes a total of feur, or two more than
has previously been awarded.
Probably the most important reason for
the change given by Blue Key is an en­deavor
by that honorary to improve the
quality of floats. They have said, and we
agree, that membership of smaller groups
will be more willing to work since they
now labor to win and not to simply fulfill
a social obligation.

Because of the increased cost entailed
by more trophies, Blue Key will raise the
registration fee from five to six dollars.
Even this, however will not completely
cover the additional expenditure.
In urging the participation of every eli-
'gible organization, we stress the fact that
there is no stigma attached to groups plac­ed
in the small-member bracket.
We are even betting that the originality
and spirit of this division will more than
offset the artistic but expensive grandness
of large decorations ordinarily found on
the lawns of their big neighbors.
We wish to encourage each fraternity
in its decoration endeavor. Every group
has the monetary ability to win now. The
deciding factor will be mental versatility
and the ability to work well together.
Players
For forty years, the Auburn Players
have been growing until they now are
one of the most important cultural con­tributions
to our community.
The variety and quality of their pre­sentations
have been astounding when one
considers the tremendous turn-over in
their personnel. High esteem should be
granted the faculty members who have
guided and pushed this theatrical group.
Telfair B. Peet, professor of dramatic
arts, and Robert Knowles, Peet's most out­standing
assistant, are two persons who
should be especially commended for their
handling of the Players in recent years.
This season should be as interesting, if
not more so, than last. "The Boy Friend,"
a roaring twenties English musical, will
open October 27 to play through the Home­coming
weekend.
Featured in the Knowles directed play
will be live music by a six-piece combo.
Lois Clark is the director of music and
Lynn Curtis is in charge of choreography.
At rehearsal Monday night, we picked
out such familiar faces as Mrs. Ila Cheney
and Don Thieme. Mrs. Lois Clark, Jim
Cooper and Hank Conner are newcomers
who have featured roles.
From the appearance of the set and the
quality of the cast and direction, playgoers
are in for another treat as the Players
open their 41st season on October 27.
And...
We were surprised to hear that some­one,
apparently a student, stole two Con­federate
flags valued at fifteen dollars each
at Saturday's game. This was probably
some sort of thrill for the thieves who
now have the flags on the wall of their
room. However, petty vandalism is defin­itely
incongruent with t h e spirit that
should be displayed by Auburnites at the
games. Don't let it happen at Tech.
Criticize the college students?
Sure . . . but on what grounds?

In a world of conflict
peace is our concern
World leaders negotiate about it. The common public talks about
it. Young men die for it. Christians pray for it. Yet down through the
ages peace has only been known throughout the world in spasmotic
intervals.
Just recently Premier Khrush­chev,
the Soviet boss, toured our
United States for the first time.
The world held its breath as Mr.
"K" and -President Eisenhower,
leaders of the world's two great­est
powers, sat down at the con­ference
table in Washington to
talk about situations of concern
to people around the globe. Then
as Khrushchev left to return to
the USSR, with a return visit to
Russia planned by President Eis­enhower
in the spring, these same
people asked themselves the ques­tion
"Are we any closer to world
peace now than a few months ago
when national leaders left Geneva
unable to come to any agree­ment?"
No one has an answer to
this, of course. Time can be our
only answer.
Only a few years ago, talk
about peace, cold war, or actual
war itself made little difference
to those of us who are now col­lege
students. The reason is be­cause
none of us were directly in­volved
ourselves. However, today
practically every boy of college
age is faced with an obligation—
or maybe a better word would be
requirement—to spend some, time
in the armed forces. If war were
to come, for the boys on our cam­pus,
it would be you who would
be doing the fighting; for the girls,
it would be your friends and
classmates who would go to fight
for this thing called peace. This
is essentially the reason the world
situation is more prominent in
our particular generation's think­ing
than it has even been before.
Often it is a problem many young
people try to avoid by pushing it
out of their minds". But, has a
problem ever been solved because
you quit thinking about it? I dare
say it hasn't.
The question naturally follows:
Is there any answer to absolute
peace for American young peo­ple
at all? I do not believe that
guided missiles, sputniks, atom or
even cobalt bombs are the answer,
but only as Americans—and we
at Auburn are just as much Amer­icans
as the next fellow—begin to
live up to the principles upon
which our ceuntry was founded
atid acknowledge and follow the
one true God, only as we pray
and have faith in that only
through prayer can peace come to
this world. History has proven
this as nation after nation has
turned their back on God and fal­len
in destruction.
The answer to peace is not some
abstract concern above our think­ing
but is our business and res­ponsibility.
Our great nation will
live or die not because of the
President of. the U. S. or any other
leader for that matter but because
of what each of us makes America
as individuals.
D u r i n g summer quarter The
Montgomery .Advertiser ran a
piece on college humor, or more
accurately, the lack of it as ex­pressed
in the college newspapers.
The Plainsman ran a reprint of
it and f o l l o w e d up w i th
a commentary by the staff and a
letter to the editor by an interest­ed
student. The pro's and con's
of whether the American college
campus had lost, in humor, a vi­tal
and traditional element was
thus kicked around, but not too
much. If many of the student
body gave it thought, it must
have been because The Plainsman
had been used . as exemplary of
the moot point made and the fin­ger
of. scorn had been pointed too
directly at Auburn. This is al­ways
what stirs us the most. (Re­call
the Saturday Evening Post
article of last fall).
Beneath the Advertiser's woe­ful
lament of the passing of cam­pus
humor as an institution was
the timeless outworn cry of fad­ing
generations that "things are
not what they used to be." Now
with respect to campus humor this
is a point that leaves little or no
room for argument, but it does
seem to be unjustly restricted; not
much of anything is what it used
to be; and I for one am not shed­ding
any tears over it.
The surface treatment of the
piece was devoted to'decrying the
college publications for not hav­ing
retained the old and likewise

"Take ten.'/ /
There is always a certain amount of confusion eonnected with
getting from one class to another in the allotted ten minute maximum.
This is obviously because some people are going in one direction, some
people in another, and some, hav­ing
given up the hope of getting
anywhere, simply stand rooted
to one spot.
Of those that are moving the
speed varies. Some move fast
because: (a.) they are in a hurry

are getting in condition for the

an over-amorous girlfriend,
(e.) They are trying to im­press
someone by putting on an
air of eagerness, (f.) they are
trying to elude someone whom
they owe five bucks, (g) they are
trying to escape an embarrassing
situation and (h) they are trying
to find a rest room.
The slow movers drag because:
(a.) they are a couple in love
and every moment together is so
important, (b.) they were caught
by an over-amorous suitor and
are presently in no condition to
move fast, (c.) a shoelace is un­tied,
(d.) their load of books is
too heavy, (e.) they have just

Of the stationary ones: (a.)
they are waiting for someone,

The malcontents
As if the ominous .orbitting of. sputniks, luniks, and whatnot-niks
were not challenging enough, the American student in higher educa­tion
continues to loll in his warm bath of purported education superiori­ty,
unaware that the plug is being pulled out.
We loll in our baths with a And yet, with the obvious reign
sort of carefree content, soaping of unacademic campus activities
ourselves with confidence, (often
getting the bubbles in our eyes),
and wearing our rose-colored
shower goggles. We loll there in
proud anticipation of diploma day
when the water will certainly get
a little warmer, the soap a little
more fragrant.
Today's campus for the student
has indeed become an unfortun­ate
modern equivalent of what
the ancient bath was for the Ro­man
citizen—a diverting, enter­taining,
pleasure garden. Studies
and educative effort have taken a
back seat.

A glimpse into the collegiate world
National interest was aroused last year by the stand taken by the
Ohio State Student Senate concerning compulsory ROTC. After an ex­tensive
study this group advocates putting the training program on a
purely voluntary basis. This
would create a little interest, not
to mention dissention.
This same school has a rather
novel plan concerning activities
for coeds. It seems that they are
having to discourage their women
students from entering too many
extra-curricular endeavors, rath­er
than having to use the "get out
and join" system we employ. The
Women's Self-Government Board
has set up a system of limiting
each girl to only six points of ac­tivities
during the year.
Peace treaties and pacts are us­ually
thought of in connection
with nations. However, a three-year-
old non-aggression pact ex­ists
between four western col­leges,
University of South Dakota,
Augustana, Morningside a nd
South Dakota State. Any student
violating this pact will be dealt
with by the college and/or the
law, and his student body will be
liable for damages up to $500.
Fortunately Auburn h a s never
had need of such a treaty, but the
idea would not be a bad one for
some colleges.
Mississippi Southern had a fa­mous
character to enroll for fall
quarter—"Cookie Bumstead" en­tered
the freshman class. Chic
Young, creator of t h e famous
Dagwood cartoon, actually named
his strip for this coed's father,
saying Bumstead was the funniest
name he had ever heard. So now
"Cookie" is Mississippi Southern's
answer to Ole Miss's two Miss
Americas.
Up on the Canadian scene, Mc-
Gill University appears to think
we're all a little crazy down here.
The McGill Daily calls Ike and
other political leaders frauds, and
compares him with the Mad Hat­ter.
He suggests that we are some­what
like Alice in Wonderland.
Returning to Mississippi, Clyde
Kennard, Negro farmer, was re­fused
admission to Mississippi
Southern the second time. While
on the campus he was arrested

of liquor and reckless driv­ing.
over intellectual ones and with
the resulting lessening of Amer­ican
prestige and position in edu­cation,
we have managed to r e ­main
confident, almost dogmati­cally
content with ourselves:
A dominant characteristic of
students in the current genera­tion
is that they are gloriously
contented both in regard to their
present day-to-day activities and
their outlook for the future . . .
The majority of students appear
unabashedly self-centered. They
aspire for material gratifications
for themselves and their families
. . . Turning to their immediate
preoccupation, the pursuit of an
education, only a minority of
students seem to value their col­lege
education primarily in terms
of its intellectual contribution,
or of its nuturing of personal
character and the capacity, for
responsible human relationships.
Vocational preparation, and skill
and experience in social "adjust­ment"
head the rewards which
students crave from their high­er
education, i
When we look for causes, ex­perts
tell us that Americans do
not want sound education for us.
Statistics bear them out. In 1958,
for example, Americans spent $187
per capita on new automobiles,
$184 on entertainment, and less
than $17 on education.
There is no way to compare
reasonably these figures with
similar ones from our red com­petitors.
We know that privately
owned automobiles are scarce in
the U.S.S.R., that entertainment
is indulged in quite seriously, (in­credibly,
there is not a single golf
course in the entire Soviet), and
that the government provides
whatever funds are necessary for
proper education. We know that
the primacy and priority of edu­cation
there is paying off.

Values In College.
outworn humor of years past, for
keeping pace with the evolution
of the interests, attitude, and ma­turity
of the traditional teenage
student and the post World War
II classroom citizenry of veterans
and married students. The paper,
the Advertiser felt, expressed the
general trend of the contempo­rary
student to be rather stuffily
over-concerned with the great
problems of the age. Certainly the
concern is there, but it's doubtful
that it is stuffy or that it is too
emphasized for anyone's good. On
the contrary, the opposite all too
often seems to be the case. Just
as their predecessors, the new
breed is apt to take things a bit
too lightly. In the case of prede­cessors
the results can be seen.
If it is felt by some that col­lege
humor is at a low ebb now,
what can be imagined for the fu­ture?
Within ten years it should
be virtually non-existant. We
laugh at the serious, resort to
pranks, and are subject to fads
because of certain weaknesses of
emotional stability or so say the
psychologists. In five years the
college student will have no emo­tional
instability. For even now
there is a force at work to destroy
all the healthy problems of young
people, to remove the emotional
obstacles that make life a little
more interesting and a lot worth
living. Dick Clark is saving them
from a fate worse than ours.
Tim Battle
In the land of Not's
Once, in the land of Not, lived a little man who dreamed. Of all
the Nots he dreamed more than any of the rest. He was a strange one,
they said, and "they" amounted to a lot of people. But let's talk about
"they" first.
The Nots were a very ordinary
group of people. Their existence
was much like people in other
lands. They worked and slept and
ate and loved. They were basic in
their needs as the great majority
in any land was basic. The battle
for a living was primary—it was
foremost—in their minds. They
fulfilled their primary desires and
were happy.
But the little man was differ­ent.
He was beyond that. He
wanted something more, some­thing
infinitely richer from being.
He had seen the people around
him and studied them. He real­ized
their simple wishes and was
happy in that they could gratify
themselves so easily. It plagued
him because the simplicity of
mind could be so comfortable.
So he sought for a while to lose
himself in their simplicity. He
grasped heartily onto their life.
He lived, drank, was merry with
them. He forced his mind to con­form
to their minds. And he was
happy—for a while. It was plea­sant
to be "one of them," to be
"one of the boys." It was accept­ed.
He began his quest then: the
search for a better meaning. When
his friends heard what he was
doing they laughed. They pointed
their fingers at him and said,
"You're a fool!" and tfeejfe,scorned
him. But he didn't .#£gs^*:-lwtice.
He knew that what he was after
could never be understood by all
the Nots. Their wishes were too
simple.
And he went away, up to the
top of a high mountain. He went
to think. The little man carried
with him two robes, one black to
wear up the mountain and one
white to wear down.
At last, the people in the valley
forgot him. He was a crank, a
nonconformist. They, after their
obligatory gossip, dismissed him.
And so, he was left alone to him­self,
alone on his mountain.
Then he did something very
rare to those in the valley. He
thought. He thought and dreamed
and pondered. He walked on his
mountain and considered life and
afterlife and beforelife. He got
up early and watched the sun rise
in its orbit and sink into the eter­nal
hills beyond. He watched the
skies seethe with constellations,
and he pondered man. And then
he took eternity and man and
God and pondered further. Like
in a centrifuge, the right particles
coalesced, the waste dropped off,
and he had his answer.
So, at the end of his pilgri­mage,
the litle man came down
wearing his white robe. The peo­ple
saw him and saw that he had
risen in some way, in some sta­ture.
They saw that he had risen
in knowledge, the one thing they
didn't have. He had gone so high,
so far above them that they
couldn't understand, they were
awe-stricken.
Well, about this time you are
probably s a y i n g , "Come in
world!" and perhaps rightly so.
But seriously, read this column
again if need be, and then ask
yourself "Am I a Not?"

How to get rid of those AM blues
My editor is a grand fellow. He
does all his work diligently and
cheerfully. Sometime he gets mad,
about once a week when the ad­vertising
manager (who also does
his work diligently and cheerfully,
but is not a grand fellow—as a
matter of fact, he is a grouch)
brings in the page layouts for the
advertising. This causes consider­able
distress in the Plainsman of­fice
because the AM (advertising
manager) thinks that the paper is
a pretty sticky glob because the
editorials are sticky editorials.
The editor does not think that the
sticky editorials are sticky, so the
editorials are not sticky because
the editor is a grand fellow and
the AM (advertising manager) is
a grouch. The AM (advertising
manager) thinks that he can get
rid of the sticky editorials (which
are not sticky because the editor
is a grand fellow) by filling up
the editorial page (and the rest of
the paper also) with advertising.
Well as you can see, this poses
quite a problem, but the editor
will win because he is a grand
fellow. The editor said that he was
going to make the AM (adver­tising
manager) a nice guy be­cause
nice guys finish last and I
am sure that the editor can do
this because the editor is a grand
fellow and now the AM (adver­tising
manager) is a nice guy
(even if he is a grouch).

Modern advertising practices
can solve modern education problems
College enrollment continues to
spiral upward but student interest
in college courses continues to spi­ral
downtown. And what is the
trouble with the subjects? They
have ceased to follow the modern
trends.
The need has arisen for adver­tisement,
the lifeblood of our pop­up,
squeeze-tube, special ingred­ient
world. How, now, can we
expect algebra to compete with
Brylcreem, history with Handy
Andy, English with Ajax Clen-ser?
The answer lies, as I have said,
in advertisement. (I might add
here, that The Plainsman, as mod­ern-
minded a newspaper as you
will see in a month of Wednes­days,
would be an excellent me­dium
in which modern-minded
professors c o u l d advertise their
courses.)
Following is a list of courses
with suggested slogans and jingles
for advertising:
American History: See the USA
each and every day; America is
asking you to call. Each and every
day, see the USA. If you study,
you are sure to have a ball.
Physics: Good to the very last
neutron.
Psychology: Most any course is
fine with me, as long as you say
it si-kol-o-gee. 'Cause all psyc.
courses happen to be' Just a Little
neurotic, A little more neurotic,
Than any other course happens to
be.
You see how easy it is? Those
three courses should be full af­ter
the first day of registration,
next quarter.
Other advertising innovations
could also be tried, such as giv­ing
free coupons for good' grades
on tests, or double-your-money-back
offers if you don't enjoy the
course and return the unused por­tion
of your text book. Oh, the
ideas are endless!
One last word for the girls:
Foods I tastes good, like a Home-
Ec course should.
How did you puncture your
tire?"
"Ran over a milk bottle."
"Didn't you see it?"
"Naw, the kid had it under his
coat."

A Look at Sports . . . with Jim Phillips
At Grant Field Saturday , . .
Real Orgy Unfolds
This . . . as they say to troops on the battle-field's
line of departure . . . is it.
Radio Atlanta wai-ns us that every gun in
Tech's well-stocked arsenal will be aimed our way come Grant
Field Saturday. After thirteen consecutive wins from often
undermanned Auburn squads, the Jackets have salvaged only one
contest of the last four. That was a long time ago by Tech stand­ards—
1956.
Coach Bobby Dodd's boys want this one as badly as we do.
Undefeated and near the top rung nationally, losing to Auburn
would spoil a great season. Coaches on the Flat remember their
juggernaut of 195G and the game of titans with unbeaten Ten­nessee,
when Tech was likewise holder of an unscathed record.
The Jackets dropped that big one, 6-0. Although Auburn has
lost once, Saturday will be similar in importance . . . and the
Engineers will be doing their best to show they can win those
big ones. Expect the Georgians to play their best football.
Expect the same of Auburn.
Atlanta is the best place in the world to scream "War Eagle."
Tech faithful (good-naturedly we presume) love to, yap back
chants of "Turkey Buzzard," "War Surplus," "Axe Auburn," and
a wierd conglomeration of other insults. Against the crisp Octo­ber
sky, these displays of spirit from two great rivals creates the
season's best atmosphere for a football game.
As always, we'll let Atlanta folk know it's invasion day. Sound
off!
A Little Pessimism
Before the game last week, sports publicist Norm Carlson was
chock full of anxiety. "The wet field will hurt us," he said in
anguish. "Kentucky's backfield is big and tough—they average
195 pounds per man. They'll be running power stuff all after­noon.
Our passing attack will be dead in this weather, and you
know how much we rely on the aerial game. Even our running
will be hindered on the mushy turf. Pettus and the boys who
do a lot of cutting around will have a hard time staying on their
feet."
Well, Norm?
Great sight!
Cousin Zeke Smith is ready to go. Usually the All-America
guard exercises strenuously throughout August. But getting mar­ried
that month gave him little chance to shape up as the sum­mer
waned. There was a honeymoon and plenty of moving in to
do. As practice began in early September, continuous rain hind­ered
the big Uniontown native's chances of getting fit for Ten­nessee.
So in Knoxville and here against Hardin-Simmons, Zeke wasn't
physically ready to play his best football. From all indications
last Saturday, 'the huge lineman may be better than ever now
that the muscles are ready.
And how about Jackie? Auburn terror Burkett was up to form
against Kentucky. Look out M a x i e Baughan (Jacket center
great) and Tech!
Auburn's All-Americans are rolling.

All aboard! The train- leaves

Jacket nest Oct. 17, 1959. In
Grant Field on that Saturday
afternoon Auburn and Georgia
Tech clash in a battle of foot­ball
giants. For some 61 games
now, these two powers h a ve
fought in a gridiron classic that
seems to get greater with each
contest. The series started in
1892, Auburn winning 26 to 0.
Georgia Tech is ahead in the
series 31 to 26 games, but after
Saturday the record will read
31 to 27, The Plainsman learned
today.
Georgia Tech has come up
with a fine team this year and
so far are undefeated. Their at­tack
includes two fine halfbacks
in the persons of Frank Nix, a
breakaway man with great
speed and Floyd Faucette, a good
runner with tremendous power.
Tech limped into its battle with
Tennessee, but they should be
in top shape and fired-up for
Auburn.

a sure thing that Mr. Wells will
take part! Ranked third (as this
is written) nationally in the AP
poll, Tech presents the tough­est
test for Auburn thus far.
On the other side of the fence,
Auburn is set for the Yellow

with too!
Through the HSU game, sta­tistics

STUDYING CAN BE SCREAMS
If studying is bugging you, t ry mnemonics.
Mnemonics, as we all know, was invented by the great Greek
philosopher Mnemon in 526 B.C. (Mnemonics, incidentally,
was only one of the inventions of this fertile Athenian. He also
invented the staircase which, as you may imagine, was of
inestimable value to mankind. Before the staircase people
who wished to go from floor to floor were forced to live out
their lives, willy-nilly, on t he ground floor, and many of them
grew cross as bears. Especially Demosthenes who was elected
Consul of Athens three times but never served because lie was
unable to get up to t he office of Commissioner of Oaths on the
third floor to be sworn in. But after Mnemon's staircase,
Demosthenes got up to t he third floor easy as pie—to Athens'
sorrow, as i t turned out. Demosthenes, his temper shortened
by years of confinement to the ground floor, soon embroiled his
countrymen in a series of senseless wars with the Persians, the
Visigoths and the Ogallala Sioux. He was voted out of office in
517 I3.C. and Mnemon, who had made his accession possible,
was pelted to death with fruit salad in the Duomo. This later
became known as the Missouri Compromise.)
>je&
j^mMt^(Aiomm{lQQ!'bk Own k^
But I digress. We were discussing mnemonics, which are nothing
more than aids to memory—catchwords or jingles that help you
remember names, dates and places. For example:
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
In fourteen hundred ninety-two.
See how simple? Make up your own jingles. What, for in­stance,
is the important event immediately following Colum­bus's
discovery of America? The Boston Tea Party, of course.
Try this:
Samuel Adams flung the tea
Into the briny Zuyder Zee.
(NOTE: The Zuyder Zee was located in Boston Harbor until
1904 when Salmon P. Chase traded it to Holland for Louisiana
and two outfielders.)
But I digress. To get back to mnemonics, you can see how
simple and useful -they are—not only for history but also for
everyday living; for instance:
In nineteen hundred fifty-nine
The smoke to look for is Alpine.
"Why Alpine?" you ask. Taste that fine, fresh flavor. Enjoy
that subtle coolness. T ry the longest, purest filter yet devised.
Until Alpine you needed two cigarettes to reap the benefits of
Alpine—one for flavor, one for filtration—and smoking two
cigarettes is never graceful; in fact, with mittens i t is nigh im­possible.
Now you need only one cigarette—Alpines. Get some.
You'll see. Q igsg M ^ shaimKt

Bradberry Recounts Greatest Thrill
(fourth in a series)
By Buck Bradberry
My greatest moment in sports?
That's easy. It was Thanksgiv­ing
day of 1957. Werolled over
Alabama by 40-0 to put the na­tional
championship in the bag.
We had a fine team that year,
and you could tell it by the fir
nal scores and the statistics too.
An undefeated season and the
nation's leading defense—that's
good football in any man's lea-league,
and especially in the

SEC. I know we really deserv­ed
that championship, and I'm
proud to say I had a part in
coaching a great team like that
1957 powerhouse.
Notes:
Buck has had many other
thrills in his football career.
While learning the game under
Wally Butts at Georgia, he
played halfback on three of the
finest football teams in Georgia
history, going to the Sugar
Bowl in 1946, the Gator Bowl
in 1947, and the Orange Bowl
in 1948. During this period,
Shug Jordan was line coach at
Georgia.
After coaching freshman foot­ball
at Georgia for a year, Buck
moved to Oklahoma A&M in
1950. When Jordan became head
coach at Auburn in 1951, he re­membered
Buck's fine play and
football savy and brought him
here as backfield coach.
Buck was born in Athens, Ga.
on January 3, 1927. He and his
wife, Mary, have three chil­dren,
Julee, George, Jr., a nd
Jimmy, aged 6, 5 and 3 respect­ively.—

"Smith and Burkett," said
Coach Shug, "were real Ail-
Americans." Smith, just com­ing
back into his own, laid the
beautiful block which sprung
Bobby Hunt loose on the quar­terback's
first TD gallop.
Columnist Jim Minter of the
Atlanta Journal, commended
Burkett's All-America show.
Center Jack's pass interception
and determined runback set up
Hunt's second touchdown.
Versatile Dave Woodward, at
tackle now, looked superb. Sec­ond
team center Wayne Frazier
was all over the field with a
bone-crushing defensive show.
G. W. Clapp, Auburn's most
unsung line hero, threw the key
block on Pettus' kickoff TD
runback and looked fine all
afternoon. Don Gulledge turned
in a third consecutive good Sat­urday
at guard. Billy Wilson
kept up his steady weekly im­provement.
Wilson should be
great in an Auburn suit some
day. The field house believes
his incomparable desire w i ll
make him a star.
Johnny Kern turned in an­other
good showing—a thing of
consistency as of late. Gather-ering
in four punts, Kern,
sometimes bulldozing, o f t en
slipping and sliding, picked up
37 yards returning the pigskin.
Of course no one had to look
at films to tell what a rousing-ly
good afternoon junior half­back
Jimmy Pettus enjoyed.
"He broke the game wide open,"
summer Coach Jordan. Plains-.,

now owns the fourth longest
scoring kickoff return in Tiger
history—88 yards.
Underrated Lamar Rawson
continued to churn his power­ful
legs for Auburn yardage.
"That boys runs the reverse
like it should be run," said an
unidentified film viewer. Raw-son's
block on the kickoff run-back
helped spring Pettus loose.
With the Wildcat defense set
for Ed Dyas' line thrusts, the
Tiger All-SEC fullback candi­date
still churned out 40 yards.
When the game was still close,
Ed booted his team's first field
goal this season—21 yards out
and at a trying angle. Movies
revealed Dyas' ferocious block­ing
of the outside man when
Bobby Hunt carried wide.
Don Machen was a pistol in
the rain last weekend. "When
you see Machen play like he
did Saturday you know there'll
always be room for the little
man in college football," beam­ed
Coach Jordan. Ounce for
ounce, t h e 148 pounder was
dynamite.
Quarterbacks B o b b y Hunt
and Bryant Harvard were hail­ed
by Auburn's coaches as a
pair equal if not superior to
any two signal-callers in Tiger
history. Bob's weasel-like run­ning
and Bryant's imaginative
selection of plays (including the
successful reverse) sent warn­ings
to Tech—watch out for the
rejuvenated Auburn offense.

A Lover Of Sports
Is Auburn Publicist
Norm Carlson
BY JIM PHILLIPS
Managing Editor
"Being a sports publicist is
great work, but hard for an old
newspaperman to adjust to,"
grinned Norm Carlson, new Au­burn
public relations man ex­traordinary.
"When you're covering a ball
game for your paper, there's no
pressure. It really doesn't make
too much difference who wins.
You just look for the finer
points down there on the turf.
But when you're a publicist,
man you doggone sure got to
worry who comes out on top,"
Norm said.
"I slept til 10 or 11 on game
days when I wrote sports for
The Atlanta Journal. Now I get
up at 6. Reason—I'm so keyed
up that I can't sleep any later.
Look at the coaches . . . they
are the same way."
Carlson is one of those tal­ented
athletes who loves sports
so greatly that he'll never be
able to turn his career away
from them. After the 1949-50
high school basketball season,
All-Stater Norm. Carlson inked
scholarship papers to St. Louis
University, in his home town.
On the freshman team at that
nationally known basketballing
institution, Norm started at
guard all winter. Had not the
family moved to Jacksonville,
Fla., that year, easy-going Nor­man
might have made quite a
varsity name for himself.
Being a man who seems to
care a lot for family closeness,
Carlson enrolled at the Univer­sity
of. Florida where he was
inelligible as a transfer student
for duty on the Gator court.
Following that school year he
joined Uncle Sam's Army.
After honorable discharge in
'54, this "voice of the Tigers"
reentered Florida and was grad­uated
in 1956. A few months
later, he joined one of the na­tion's
top sports staffs, that of
The Atlanta Journal.
While in the big. capital of
Georgia, easy-going Norm serv­ed
as a competent outdoor edi­tor
of his paper. "I never shot
a gun all my life other than
my M-l and carbine in the ser­vice,"
laughed Carlson. "Gosh
knows I've never hunted. The
only two times in my life that
I've fished were occasions when
the Georgia Wildlife commis­sion
invited the states' outdoor
editors out for some casting!"
Amazingly, Norm tackled t h is
strange job head-on and came
out on top. Ask anybody w ho
read his colorful Journal col­umn.

a while.
Carlson and wife "Peetie" will
be celebrating wedding anni­versary
number five come No­vember.
Daughter Donya Lee is
a year old.
On heading back home to At­lanta
Saturday, the able Norm
said, "Tech is well-coached, and
ready to roll this year. I'm look­ing
forward to this one, but I
believe we're in for our toughest
game of the fall.
But Norm adds of course that
Auburn will win. Maybe that
feeling can give him a rare few

Engineering of microwave relay and carrier systems keeps Bryan Clinton's job interesting and challenging.
I f I got the engineering career I wanted
...and right in my own home state"
In 1955, William Bryan Clinton, Jr., got
his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at
Clemson College. Now Bryan's with
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company at Columbia, South Carolina.
He's doing specific planning of long dis­tance
communications projects involv­ing
cable carrier facilities and microwave
radio relay systems.
Bryan chose a career with Southern
Bell over several other offers. "There
were three things that were most impor­tant
to me," he says. "First, I wanted to
go with an established, growing company
where I could grow, too. Second, I wanted
thorough basic training to get started off
right, plus participation in development
programs to keep me moving ahead. And,
third, I wanted to stay in the South."
After 15 months of on-the-job training
in various phases of company operations,
Bryan was assigned to the Engineering
Department at Columbia, S. C. His work
with carrier systems and microwave
radio projects has involved him directly
in the growth of the company. And he's
broadened his experience through devel­opment
courses in management, general
engineering, engineering economy, and
microwave relay systems.
"I know I'm with a fast-growing com­pany
and I feel I'm really participating
in its growth," Bryan says. "What's more,
I'm getting the training I need to keep
me abreast of new communications de­velopments
and take better advantage of
advancement opportunities when they
come along."
Bryan Clinton earned a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engi­neering.
He's one of many young college men pursuing
rewarding careers with the Bell Telephone Companies.

Jimmy Pettus named
player of the week
BY JAMES ABRAMS
Sports Editor
About our Player of the Week—
Amidst the cheers of some
, 30,000 football spectators at
Cliff Hare Stadium last Satur­day,
scatback Jimmy Pettus
winged his way toward an 88-
yard opening kickoff TD be­hind
the powerful blocking of
an inspired Tiger unit.
Head Coach "Snug" Jordan had
this to say: "That run was cer
tainly a knockout punch to the
Kentucky team. It really spark­ed
us to victory and it may have
changed the whole Auburn out­look
for this season."
"About that touchdown run . . .
(Jordan said) . . . On that play
Burkett took out two men by
hitting one Wildcat and knock­ing
him into another man. Clapp
blocked one man, got up and
hit another man. Smith laid a
good block. Rawson, Hunt, and
Dyas all hit the same man,
really working him over." And
Pettus kept running!
A quick three game look at
Pettus reveals him as a true
competitor, i
Against Tennessee . . . Gained
20 yards in seven carries for a
2.7 average. Second only to Dyas,
who had a 7.7 average. Brought
back five punt returns for 34
yards and returned one kickoff
28 yards. Caught two passes for
26 yards.
Against Hardin-Simmons . . .
Ran back two punts for 34 yards.
Carried seven times for 13
yards.
Against Kentucky . . . Ran
back opening kickoff 88 yards
for a touchdown. Carried four
other times for 13 yards.
Not only is Pettus outstanding
on offense but he gives a good
account of himself defensively
as well.
Quick reactions on pass de­fense,
a knack for coverage, and
real competitive type tackles
make Pettus an asset in the de­fensive
lineup. Jimmy has
knocked himself out on several
tackles, indicating how hard he
hits.
In 37 runs last year Jimmy
gained 174 yards for a 4.7 aver­age.
He won the second-string
halfback position midway in
the season. He was one of. the
leading Tiger pass receivers,

Tired Tigers . . . Culver heads WW's
BY ED JAMES
Intramurals Editor
Several weeks back this col­umn
was devoted to giving a
brief picture of an important
figure in the intramural sports
program on the Plain, Coach R.
K. Evans. This week we pre­sent
another sketch of one who
plays a leading role in Auburn's
intramurals, Billy Culver, Stu­dent
Government Superintend­ent
of Sports.
Billy assumed his present
position as Student Chairman
of Intramurals l a s t Spring
when, upon the suggestion of
1 Coach Evans, he was officially
H appointed by the student body
J president. Prior to this appoint-
Wi ment he served for two years
as manager of his fraternity's
intramural program. Billy is
well qualified for his job, hav­ing
served as assistant sports
director for the YMCA in Selma
and as recreational director for
four years at a boy's camp.
Also, he attended, in 1956, an
aquatic school where the ele­ments
of organized recreation
were stressed and taught.
Active not only in sports,
Billy is vice-president, of Phi
Kappa Tau, his social frater­nity,
and is a member of Alpha
Phi Omega and the Forestry
Club. His hobbies include hunt­ing,
fishing, and. as an interest­ing
side light, shooting rapids
in a canoe. Billy and a friend
once canoed the 230 miles from
Mobile to Selma in six days.
Billy's major duties are to su­pervise
the officials, compile
the intramural handbook, sit as
a member of the executive
board, and act as sports repre­sentative
on the president's
cabinet.
Asked why he thought Au­burn's
intramural p r o g r am
ranked as one of the nation's
top two last year, Billy cited
this reason: "The fine organi­zation
of Auburn's fraternity
system c o u p l e d with the
school's backing a n d support
contributes greatly to our good
intramural program." Concern­ing
future plans, Billy stated
that a fraternity pledge class
field day is under consideration.
With Culver at the helm, Au­burn
looks to an even better
season this time.
even par with All-Americans
Smith and Burkett, while his
movements and play are similar
to that of Kentucky's former
great Lou Michaels. His desire
for action is more now than it
has ever been.
All-State honors were award­ed
to Ken while playing FB for
Bainbridge HS, Georgia. Rice
was voted a member of the All-
Conference Sophomore team in
'58 even though he played be­hind
Cleve Wester. This year in
a pre-season poll among SEC
coaches he was acclaimed as a
sure bet for SEC honors.

Coaches call Rice
One of SEC's best
BY JAMES ABRAMS
One of the best tackles in the
conference, according to offen­sive
line coach Shot Senn, is
250-pound Ken Rice. This state­ment
can be easily verified by
any one of Auburn's three pre- •
vious opponents.
Films of. the games, played
this year, after being carefully
viewed by the coaches, show
that Rice has done a truly out­standing
job for the Plainsmen.
In the Tennessee game Ken
was one of the top linemen of
the day, if not the top. After
this came his gilt-edged play in
the Hardin-Simmons game. His
performance was so terrific that
it brought this comment from
defensive line coach Hal Her­ring.
Says Herring, "Rice play­ed
the greatest game any tackle
had ever played for us. He did
not miss any offensive assign­ment
and on defense he was ab­solutely
perfect." For the third
straight Saturday Rice came
through, this time in the Ken­tucky
encounter. The films of
this game showed that once
again Ken was one of the best
linemen on the field.
Consistency marks Rice as a
fine player. He's always doing
his job on every play, offen­sively
as well as defensively.
His speed, agility, and unbeliev­able
strength rank him on an
