Crimson-White Editor
Supports^'Mort' Jordan
For Bama President
. By War Eagle
Scattered in the debris left
by the weekend tornado, was
a recent copy of the student
newspaper at the University
of Alabama, the Crimson-
White. This paper, edited by
young, enterprising Charles Wil­son,
is beating the drum in sup­port
of candidate Mortimer Jord­an
for the next U of A president.
With the coming of June and
the retirement of Dr. John M.
Gallalee, University trustees are
faced with the problem of select­ing
a new head man. Much screen­ing
has already taken place and
many names have .been suggested
to the group. Interested persons
throughout the state expect an
announcement of the appointment
any day.
".Mort," as the C-W affection­ately
calls him, appears to be los­ing
ground in his bid for the post
despite the fact that he "is the
candidate of the students of the
University . . . " In a paper which
is consistently anti-administration,
a statement in praise of any of­ficial
is quite unusual.
This leads me to believe that
candidate Jordan is not neces­sarily
the students' choice, but
rather the choice of Mr. Wilson—
young. and enterprising.

TASTE BETTER!
Cleaner, Fresher, Smoother!
Ask yourself this question: Why do I smoke?
You know, yourself, you smoke for enjoyment.
And you get enjoyment only from the taste of a
cigarette.
Luckies taste better—cleaner, fresher, smoother!
Why? Luckies are made better to taste better. And,
what's more, Luckies are made of fine tobacco.

A Study Of Behavior fLmTeManOn Campui))
You never can tell exactly how people
Will behave under stress until they get
into a tight spot together. For that reason,
if for no other, the past weekend was an
enlightening one.
Certainly, the events of the past few
days have given both students and towns­people
a chance to show their mettle.
On Friday night, many API students re­sponded
to an alarm for a lost child, and
participated in an hours-long search for
him. The fact that the boy was found safe
and near home was quite a relief to all
the searchers, but it does not minimize
the cooperative spirit with which local
students joined the search.
A second display of community spirit
came, of course, following Saturday after­noon's
windstorm. The trees had scarcely
stopped falling before students and other
local citizens were out in the foul weather,
clearing streets, spotting fallen wires, and
attempting to keep traffic running smooth­ly.
They stayed on the job until local and
state law-enforcement agencies could get
organized to handle the situation, and
many of them kept working until the wee
hours of Sunday morning.
The duties undertaken by students were
devious and varied. Traffic on virtually
every corner in town was being handled
by students. Some men were asked to
stand by the women's dorms during the
night, and they complied, of course, with
alacrity.
Others were useful in clearing fallen
timber and spotting the multiple power
and telephone line breaks which were
hazardous to pedestrians and automobile
traffic.
The prevailing attitude in Auburn Sat­urday
night was a peculiar one. We have
never seen one quite like it before. With
the town blacked out and telephone serv­ice
non-existent, most people were caught
with mixed feelings' of helplessness and a
desire to be of aid.
Another factor which brought about
some discussion Saturday night was the
realization that the combined darkness
and overloading of law-enforcement of­ficials
afforded an opportunity for van­dalism
which is probably unequaled in the
history of the institution. Since the ener­gies
of the student body were absorbed in
the opportunity for community service
rather than the chance to do further dam­age,
The Plainsman commends Auburnites
for their excellent conduct during the
weekend.
Parking Frustrations Remain
Parking problems on campus, although
somewhat relieved, continue to exist. This
partial relief stems from the frustration of
students who have automobiles at school
but leave them at their residences because
they can't find parking places around the
campus.
Some have simply foregone the com­forts
of an automobile and left them at
their hometowns. Another contributing
factor is.that API has a small decrease in
enrollment this quarter. But to those stu­dents
who thrive on frustrations the prob­lem
is still paramount.
Many areas around the campus have
been converted into parking lots, but there
is one location that is being overlooked.
For some time people have been asking
why doesn't the Department of Buildings
and Grounds allow perpendicular parking
between the street and sidewalk parallel­ing
Biggin Hall on West Magnolia Avenue.
From many attempts it is evident that
grass won't grow there. If the area is to
remain unsightly, we suggest that it be
used to aid in eliminating part of the park­ing
problem.
Where one problem is solved, another
crops up. Normally it would seem that
there is adequate parking space around
the new coed dormitories. However, each
night around "curfew," dorms V and VII
become almost inaccessible. Cars are lined
up three-deep on Roosevelt Drive, thus
creating a bottleneck which lasts for some
time.
It would seem that the problem of fur­nishing
an adequate parking area in that
vicinity would not be too difficult for B
and G to tackle. Certainly it would be a
feather in their caps to come up with a
solution. —W.H.E.
A Pavement Problem
Gone are the days when the horse and
buggy ran rampant across the Plains. Gone
are the days when man needed a good pair
of walking shoes and a brush stick to keep
his mouth from becoming dry while trod-ding
the dusty red roads of Alabama.
Civilization is upon us.
But to walk the streets of the campus,
one would think that we are going back
to the good old days. Practically every
street on campus is in need of repair. To
mention a few which are in the poorest
condition, we can enumerate upon the con­ditions
of West Samford, West Thach, the
street running through Graves Centre, and
the street behind Samford Hall. All are
cracked, uneven, and filled with holes.
In the early 1940's, Auburn had one strip
of pavement on its campus. It was a side­walk
in front of Ross Chemical Laborator­ies
which was constructed in accordance
with architectural plans. Since that time,
B and G has done a remarkable job in pro­viding
pavement for the campus. There is
scarcely a section of the campus that is not
paved. However, it sems as if some streets
have not been touched since they were
poured.
Coming in the wake of last Saturday's
storm, this editorial will probably hit B
and G where it hurts most. There is plenty
of damage on the campus to contend with.
Debris must be cleared away and repairs
must begin on damaged buildings. But we
ask that as soon as these conditions are
cared for that something be done about our
streets. —W.H.E.
. . . And Bama Got Bumped
The sky grew suddenly dark Saturday,
and although many considered it a natural
accompaniment to the strong winds of the
afternoon, we wondered whether the phe­nomena
was not due to the University of
Alabama's first dual meet track defeat in
four cinder seasons.
Since the resumption of athletic relations
between the two schools, Auburn's record
against Bama has been unimpressive, to
say the very least. It's a rather rare privi­lege
to gloat over a defeat of API's cross-state
rival, but that makes it even more
enjoyable.
To Coach Wilbur Hutsell, who master­minded
the victory, and to Jackie Creel,
Don Johnson, Bill Fickling, and others of
the track squad who contributed to the
point total, Auburn is deeply indebted.
Yessir, it sure is nice to lean back and
gloat and to forego the already overwork­ed
cry of "Wait 'til next year!"

Court Ruling On Segregation
May Have Widespread Effect
"Say, Keely, how's about a straw for Carolyn's root beer, huh?"
Cedric's Almanac
Try Tressler's Tremendous Treatment
By Fred Nichols
Nichols
When Irving Tressler, president
of the Irving D. Tressler Institute
of Human Relations Up to a Cer­tain
Point and How to Keep Them
At That Point, wrote a certain
book in 1937 he probably had the
intention that copies would fall
before the eyes of the country's
beloved travelers. The title of
Irving Tressler's masterpiece was,
"How to Lose Friends and Alien­ate
People," and any reader was
guaranteed success.
My first exposure to the writ­ings
of Tressler came during a
bus trip back
to t h e village
a f t e r several
days of vaca-t
i o n . Upon
r e a d i n g t he
d e d i c a t i o n ,
"Dedicated to a
p e r s o n who
doesn't need to
read this book
— Adolph Hit­ler,"
it was
clear to me that
a new escape from people and
their peculiarities had been found.
Applying his rules to life, things
started happening.
The cluck sitting next to me was
a retired school teacher who fea­tured
himself as an authority on
history and the people thereof. He
rattled off about how F.D.R. had
saved the country," how Calvin
C'oolidge did not choose to run,
how Edgar A. Poe planned to '
cogywrite the alphabet, and how
he planned to explain to the
world the historical value of Kate
Smith. His finds were about as
interesting as the content of an
Oshkosh telephone directory, and
my newly acquired human rela-.
tions technique broke loose.
First, I told him his findings
might be true but that no person
in his right mind would read
anything now days except sta­tistical
reports of the sex life of
Kinsey. Further proving that the
younger generation was interested
in nothing but fun, frolic and
burlesque, I shouted my impres­sion
of Kate Smith in his hearing
aid with be-bop accompaniment.
He looked as beaten as a fire
hydrant in a dog pound.
But a little thing like hurting a
person's feelings did not even
phase my grimly determined new
self. More water was added to
the fire when I asked if I could
buy back my introduction to him?
Who was his embalmer? If he
ever compared his future to a
block of ice? How long would he
live in captivity? And if he ever
considered traveling by stage?
The little old guy was crushed and
he hopped out of his seat without
even saying how much he had
enjoyed our conversation.
Applying Tressler's rule of name
forgetting, I ended our small ac­quaintance
by saying, "So long
Mister, errr—Mister Nuisance, I
mean Mister Newsom. No not
Newsom—that's a washed out
baseball pitcher, but maybe being
washed out reminded me of you.
Oh well, Pop, keep on those his­tory
books. You know, some day
you might get a job as a model in
a police line-up. Remember those
words of Greely—"Go elsewhere
old man."
Well, Pop ran to the bus driver
and demanded that he stop the
glorified pair of air brakes. When
Pop started out the door, he left
the driver one thousand shares of
stock in his oil wells for being so
nice to him by pronouncing his
name correctly. Pop and the
driver left singing about some
smiling Irish eyes, as I wondered
whether or not Tressler's advice
had been of aid to me.
Some day maybe I'll find out
what Pop's real name was and if
I could have pronounced it cor­rectly.
If his name was Smith,
I'm going to bill Tressler for the
amount that Pop gave the driver.
Oh well, another friend wouldn't
help me I guess. As the book spe­cifically
stated: "He who is rich in
friends is poor in privacy." And,
believe me creatures, never give
up—you too can discourage people
anddive as Tressler and I do— in
a world as extinct as the dodo
bird's.

Career Talks Could Aid Students
Dffice on Tichenor Avenue, phone API 242. Deadline for social and organizational news Is Saturday noon. Entered ai
tecond-clasH matter at the post office at Auburn, Alabama. Subscription rates by mall: f1.00-3 months, $3.00-1 year.
The API campus seems to be
running over with good ideas
these days, but we heard an even
better than- usual one the other
day. \ .
It was mentioned in connection
with next year's Village Fair, but
it could be put
into use any
time. The sug­gestion
was that
since the open
house program
is planned to
s h o w high
schoolers what
Auburn has to
offer, more at­tention
should
be placed on
Lucci helping t h e se
visitors decide what they want to
study here.
The exhibits, tours, etc., are
fine for those who know what
they are looking for in the way of
major courses of study, but what
about the poor undecided, who
wander around taking it all in,
but arriving at no conclusion?
The boys probably don't have
as much trouble as the girls, for
almost any career is open to them.
In the case of a girl, however, ca­reer
opportunities are still rather
limited.
The solution to this problem
By JoAnne Lucci
would be to have qualified speak­ers
lecture on the job opportuni­ties
in various fields at a regularly
scheduled time and include this
information in the program and
other Village Fair publicity.
If possible, should the plan ac­tually
be put into effect, the "job
notes" should be arranged for dif­ferent
times, so that, should a per­son
have two or more interests, he
could take them both in.
We said that this could be put
into effect any time. By that we
meant that even after a student
has decided on Auburn as his
school, he may arrive here as a
freshman still undecided about his
major.
To remedy this, it sounds to us
like a good idea to have qualified
speakers talk at the freshman
dorms early in the quarter, telling
coeds about the type of work done
in a certain field, the expected
salaries, working conditions, and
any other points of interest to'
prospective entrants in the field.
All of this might cut down on
the large number of students who
change schools almost seasonally.
If they could be informed about
the opportunities in various fields
early in their college career, or in
the case of Village Fair visitors,
even before college, it would save
them both time and money.
By Let Ford
We here in the South are be­ginning
to be subjected to molli­fying
and soothing appeals and
lectures as to the outcome of the
Supreme Court's decision con­cerning
segregation in our schools.
Two hundred Alabama teachers
heard Dr. Francis J. Brown, staff
associate for
t h e American
Council on Ed­ucation,
warn
that "segrega­tion
was doom­ed"
at their an­nual
AEA con­vention
a few
, weeks ago. It
would certainly
have been in­teresting
to see
the expressions
on the faces of the educators as
they heard the pronouncement.
Probably the words of Dr. Guy
B. Johnson, professor of sociology
and anthropology at the Univer­sity
of North Carolina, fell on more
sympathetic ears, when he frank­ly
discussed the subject at the
founder's day ceremonies at Tus-kegee
Institute last week.
In speaking at the annual affair,
Ford
Johnson said that it was his belief
that the Supreme Court would
declare the now-standing state
laws, concerning the matter, un­constitutional
and, therefore, un­enforceable.
In this event John­son
advised fellow Southerners to
"count 10" before taking any ac­tion.
He recommended a 30-day
"cooling off" period to be utilized
by state legislatures before taking
radical steps.
It seems quite evident that
Southern governments will not
hold off action for any "30-day
period," if the Supreme Court
should hand down an unfavorable
decision. Earlier this month, Gov.
Gordon Persons said that the de­cision
will have a "far-reaching
effect" on Alabama's whole edu­cational
system.
Already, the road has been
cleared for the calling of a special
session of the State legislature in
such an event. As Persons added,
"much thought is being given to
the subject" and it is not abso­lutely
certain what the course of
action will be. Most Southern
states are already preparing to
take positive steps, if the decision
does not meet with their approval.
As this columnist understands
the proposed remedies, the state
legislatures will meet and place
all state supported white institu­tions
on a "private school" basis.
In this capacity the requirements
for admittance into such institu­tions
could not be regulated by the
federal government. This action
would in effect keep segregation,
but, in doing so, would present
other problems. How would the
institutions obtain funds to meet
operational expenses? Could the
State legally appropriate funds
for the support of such "private
schools?" The answers to these
questions will have a direct bear­ing
on the future condition of
Southern colleges.
It is indeed a pity that the Su­preme
Court cannot delay its de­cision
for, say, 10 or 15 years, and
by that time the South could con­ceivably
be prepared to accept the
abolition of segregation in its
schools. But this cannot be done,
and the tremendous progress made
in Southern education in recent
years may be damaged or de­stroyed
because white Southerners
can't or won't accept such changes
at the present time.
Salt From Walt
Cooperation Binds Town, Students
Last Friday night, a seven year
old lad was missing from his home
in town. Frantic parents notified
the police and the local radio sta­tions
aired the
news with an
appeal for aid
in locating the
small fellow.
The Auburn
city police call­ed
practically
every fraternity
in t o w n and
asked for aid.
As a result' of
these appeals,
several hundred
students joined in the search.
Auburn and its vicinity were
searched thoroughly. The hunt
qame to an,ehd about 1" a.m. when
"ttie^laa was found asleep under
some shrubbery in his yard.
The end to the story was a
pleasant one. In the final analysis,
it was interesting to note the co­operation
between students and
townspeople. When the chips are
down you'll find both groups pull­ing
together. It is this attitude that
distinguishes Auburn from any
other city . . . It is this attitude
Everidge
on the part of the city which dis­tinguishes
API from any other
school. Both exert a healthy in­fluence
upon the other.
Pride Of Auburn
Those persons who were for­tunate
enough to hear the men's
octet at the Village Fair festival
were witnesses to a pleasurable
result of two year's of hard work
by Walter S. Collins. The group
is fast becoming the pride of Au­burn.
This columnist has had the oc­casion
to hear this fine group sing
only two or three times since its
organization . . One of those times
was at the festival. From the
amount of applause which they
received, there is no denying* that
they appeal to a vast' number ~61
people.
It wasn't very long ago that
Collins arrived on campus with
his ideaj for the octet. The former
"Whiffenpoofer" was very en-thusiastijc
in talking about his
plans. At that time, Auburn was
not the' possessor of what could
By Walter Everidge
be called an outstanding singing
group. There wasn't much of a
nucleus to begin with.
But Collins went to work, and
today you see the evidence of his
planning—as fine a singing group
as Auburn has ever had. The
"Collins enthusiasm" is personi­fied
in the entire group. Some
folks will say that they do' not
compare with the Yale songsters,
but neither are they as large a
group. However, their basic pat­tern
of operation reflects the
Whiffenpoof twist.
The octet sings for the fun of
singing. They practice' with a cup
of spirits in one hand' and a bond
of fellowship in their hearts . . .
They'll sing at your request, and
they would as soon sing without
i t - . . . They sing anywhere and
!at anytime. If there was ever a
group of men with singing con­stantly
in their minds, this one is
it.
Talent abounds in these men. It
seems that such a group should be
heard more often around campus.
After all, when you have some­thing
of which you are proud, you
want to show it off.

Senator Hill Battles For Education
Alabama's able senior senator,
Lister Hill, is currently leading an
uphill struggle that every citizen
of this state should be very much
interested in; that being the tide-lands
oil issue.
Senators Hill and Sparkman of
Alabama, Douglas of Illinois and
about 20 more are doing every­thing
conceivably possible to de­feat
the so-called "tidelands" bill
giving off-shore oil to the coastal
states.
The most effective weapon of
Senator Hill and his associates has
been that of the Hill Amendment,
which provides that the royalties
for all-shore oil be paid to the
federaf government and that the
government allot it to the states
for education, thereby helping
make up the astonishing financial
deficit of almost every state's edu­cational
system.
From Alabama's position, the
H i l l Amendment, if accepted,
would be extremely welcome. It
is a well known fact that in this
state, teachers' pay and overall
educational facilities leave much
to be desired. Governor Persons
has reported that the state spent
$98 million on education during
the past fiscal year. If we take the
$98 million that Alabama spent in
the past year and add it to the
probable millions that the state
would receive from the oil re­sources,
we can see the immense
possibilities for education.
It has been estimated that the
value of potential reserves in the
By Herb White
continental shelf off California,
Florida, Texas and Louisiana is
about $38 billion. If the "tide-lands"
bill is passed, over Sena­tor
Hill's efforts, all royalties from
this tremendous potential will go
to the states closest to the re­serves.
Alabama and the other 43
states will receive a grand total of
nothing from the underwater
lands. Thus, the educational sys­tems
of the four selfish states will
so far outshine those of the other
states that there will be no al­ternative
except higher taxes.
If, by some miracle, the Hill
Amendment got through Congress,
every state would receive a share
of the profit, with the four states
mentioned getting a larger share.

'Plainsman' Readers Talk Back
Dear Editor,
Last Saturday morning, Au­burn's
chores of producing Village
Fair were ended. The long-await­ed
day had come at last; and stu­dents,
faculty members, and ad­ministrative
officials closed the
long and tedious chores of plan­ning
and preparation, took a deep
breath, and waited expectantly.
Auburn had given its all. Then
the skys cleared, hundreds of
visitors appeared, and a true spirit
of exhiliration and festivity filled
the air as the pressure imposed by
months of hard work and anxious
planning was released in the
knowledge of a job well done.
Auburn's earnest designs to
open herself to inspection were
matched by an unexpected earn­estness
of desire on the part of
the visitors to see and understand
all of this great institution. The
Auburn spirit was high. Auburn-ites
were proud of Auburn and
visitors were proud to be here;
you could feel it in the air.
No, our open house wasn't per­fect;
we are still learning. But it
was good; it was better than it
was last year, and in the future
it will continue to grow even big­ger
and better. Prior to April 10,
many said, "Is it worth the
trouble?" There should be no
doubt now that this question has
been answered emphatically and
in the affirmative.
Dear Sir:
I want to take this opportunity
to sincerely thank all of the stu­dents
who supported me in the
recent election for editor of The
Plainsman. Their help and votes
were certainly appreciated.
To my opponent, Walt Everidge,
I wish the best of luck in his new
duties. He will, I'm sure, make a
competent editor and give Auburn
a good neewspaper.
The time I spent i n the cam­paign
I do not consider wasted. I
have always known that Auburn
is a great place, but the experi­ence
of running in a campus
election and meeting so many
wonderful people here was like a
shot in the arm to that knowledge.
Thanks again for the support
given me in this effort.
Sincerely,
JoAnne liucci
The evident student-faculty-ad­ministration,
cooperation that was
characteristic of Village Fair could
serve as an enviable example to
any school. The friendly spirit was
at its best. Our high-school visit­ors
were impressed; and they will
return. And Auburn will continue
to grow. The oF War Eagle is on
the move. Yes, Village Fair is
here to stay. Well done to every­one.

Language Difficulties Limited Fopds
For Colombia Student Enrolled Here
t By Howard Skelton
How would you like to eat hamburgers and drink cokes
three times a day for two weeks?
That's exactly what Hernando Saurez, Colombia, did when
he first entered API in the fall of 1950. When he arrived at
the Loveliest Village, he ate nothing but hamburgers -and
drank cokes because these were
the only food and drink that
he knew how to ask for in Eng­lish.
Hernando said that he liked
hamburgers and cokes, but not
three times a day. He also says
that they have never tasted the
,same to him since his two week
experience.
WHILE H A V I N G difficulty
with the language during his first
two weeks here, Hernando decid­ed
that he would answer "no" to
every question asked him before
noon and "yes" to questions asked
iafter that time.
"I knew I couldn't understand
what they were saying to me
anyway," Hernando remarked,
,"so I just answered 'yes' and
'no.' I received some funny looks
and the results of my replies were
sometimes surprising.
"One friend of mine asked me
if I would like to go home with
him /the next weekend. Not
knowing what he said, I said 'yes.'
"On Friday afternoon, he came
to my room with a suitcase and
asked me if I were ready to go.

saying, but I saw the suitcase and

Dear Sir:
Now that the smoke of battle
has cleared, I want to offer my
congratulations to my recent rival,
Fred Nichols, for his victory in
the election. The Glomerata is. in
capable hands. Fred has done good
work in the past on that and
other campus publications. I have
no doubt but that he will do the
same as Glomerata editor.
To those people who supported
me with their votes and cam­paign
efforts, I give my deepest
thanks. I appreciate the faith that
was placed in me. I wish that I
could have been more successful
in justifying that faith.
The experience of running for
a campus position has been valu­able
to me. I can count many bene­fits.
Most important, it enabled
me to meet many people I might
never have known otherwise^
This, in itself, is ample compen­sation
for the time and effort put
into the campaign.
As the election. fades into his­tory
and the campus returns to
normal, I would like to wish all
the newly-elected officers the
best of luck for the coming year.
Sincerely,

It seems to this writer that the
states of Florida, Texas, Louisiana
and California are being unjustly
severe in their demands. They
should recognize that the other
sections of the country are as
desperate for money for education
as they are, and consent to share
the benefits.
assumed that he wanted me .to
go somewhere with him. I hur­riedly
packed my bag just, as If
I had known that I was going
with him all the time." j
Hernando particularly had dif­ficulty
in understanding slang
expressions. He said that people
were always asking him, "What's
cooking?" "I was always confused
because the people would ask me
that question at places where
there was nothing cooking," he
remarked.
Hernando's experience t h at
"takes the cake," as he puts it,
happened one night when he was
dining out. Everyone was joking
and laughing and the hostess said
to Hernando, "Oh, you're pulling
my leg."
HERNANDO WAS horrified
that she thought he was pulling
her leg! He looked under the table
and said, "No madam, it was not
me." . .
On another occasion when he
was introduced to a young lady,
the person introducing them re­marked
that she was a North­erner.
Hernando quickly remarked,
"Oh you must be a damnyankee,
then." After she left, one per­son
came up to Hernando and
asked what he had against that
young lady. Then he explained
to Hernando that the word Yan­kee
didn't have to have damn in
front of it as Hernando had pre­sumed,
from common usage here.
ONE OF Hernando's biggest
handicaps when he first came to
Auburn was that he lived with a
Norwegian and learned his first
English from him. "I guess I was
the only South American with a
Norwegian accent at Auburn at
the time," Hernando stated.
Hernando said that he had
trouble with the language at first,
but the students here, especially
his fraternity brothers of Delta
Chi fraternity, have helped him
immensely. "American people, I
have found, will go out of their
way to be friendly and nice to
rifpreigh students and mdke us feel
at home, while European people
will help someone as long as it
doesn't bother them too much,"
Hernando stated.
After Hernando receives his
degree in agricultural science, he
plans to return home to Bucara-manga,
Colombia, to be a gentle­man
rancher. "Also," he says, "to
help better relations between
Colombia and the United States
by telling my people how won­derful
the people here have treat­ed
me!"

By Ronald Owen, Sports Editor
Undergrads Dominate Baseball Team;
Kentucky Faces Basketball Boycott
Auburn may not set any baseball records this season; but,
unless pro baseball or Uncle Sam starts tapping the under­graduate
stock, the Tigers will have the material to go next
year.
Some of the most promising of Coach Dick McGowen's
baseball players are donning the diamond monkey suit for
the first time for Auburn. Catcher Jimmy Powell, pitcher
Paul Susce, third baseman Jim Pyburn, and outfielder and
pitcher Howell Tubbs have been outstanding for the Tigers
so far and all have three more years of eligibility. In fact,
only three of Auburn's starting nine are seniors. Bobby Jor­dan,
left field; Joe Davis, short stop, and pitcher Ernie Snow
are the only seniors who have had any degree of success this
season. ,
The rest of the players on the Plainsman roster have a
few more years of eligibility left. Fireballing Buck Brad-berry
will be back for another season with Auburn. Pitchers
Jack Ramsey and Bill Wallace will be back for two more
years. The rest of the pitching staff are freshmen.
The infield next year can be essentially the same with
Bob Nagel, Joe Cobb, and Pyburn all returning. Billy Ray
Roberson, who is temporarily disabled with a hurt leg, will
be back for infield duty at short stop.
Outfielders will be plentiful, with Jordan and Bill Mc-
Murry the only losses in that department. Howell Tubbs,
Bill Parsons, and Bill Burbank will be back to help patrol the
outer gardens.
In the catching department, Powell and Reuben Finney
will team to give the Plainsmen plenty of depth in mittmen.
Finney is also a freshman and has looked plenty good for the
Tigers this year.
Wildcats Still Having Trouble
When it rains, it pours, and, as far as Kentucky's basket­ball
situation is concerned, it has been pouring for sometime;
and there are still a few dark clouds on the horizon.
For instance, four SEC schools threaten to boycott the
Wildcats if they can't get their next season's games with
Kentucky scheduled for their home courts. It seems as if
Adolph Rupp's championship five was to have played Tulane,
LSU, Mississippi State and Ole Miss on the latter four's courts
last basketball season. Since Kentucky was suspended from
conference play, the games were struck off the schedule. The
1954 schedule calls for these games to be played at Kentucky
and the four teams are going to refuse to work it that way.
In effect they are saying, "We get our home game, or we
don't play."
If the boycotters have things t^iriWay and the 1953 sche­dule
is substituted for the 1954 slate, then Auburn will have
to play the Wildcats in Kentucky. Which means that we will
have to wait another year to see what Rupp has cooked up to
improve and color the hardwood game during his "vacation."
Even though his name has been associated with the basketball
fix scandals and the eye of suspicion has often been focused
upon him, the Kentucky coach stands unsurpassed as far as
building basketball teams is concerned. You can stake your
last five bucks on his coming up with another great quintet.
With Auburn losing no starters from last season's fifth
place team, which was just reaching its peak at the end of
the schedule, a match between the Tigers and the Wildcats
will be interesting, to say the least.
Wrestling, Track, Something To Yell About
A change from interest in major sports to interest in the
so-called minor sports has been noticeable on the Auburn
campus in the past few years. Since all fans like a winner,
when the Tigers fail to come up with an outstanding team in
the three big sports—football, basketball, or baseball-even
ardent Auburn fans will turn to an athletic event where they
have occasion for enthusiasm.
Back last winter the change was noticeable. During weeks
when the Plainsmen weren't faring so well on the hardwood,
the bull session talks turned from basketball to wrestling.
Auburn always has a winner in that department so it
wasn't hard to say lots of nice things about some of the star
performers.
This spring, after the Tiger baseball team seems to have
gotten off on the wrong foot, interest has turned to track.
Though the track meet attracts, relatively few fans compared
to the diamond game, the sport is followed pretty closely by
a number of Auburn sports enthusiasts. Even the interfrater-nity
track meet had a sizeable following last Thursday, and
had the weather not been so bad Saturday it seems certain
that there would have been a great deal more people at the
Tiger-Bama meet. _____

Auburn handed Alabama's thinclads their first defeat in
a dual meet in four years here Saturday by defeating them

victory, each winning two events. Creel captured the 100

Tiger Track Squad To Meet Gators
In Dual Meet Saturday At Gainesville
By Ronald Owen
Auburn's up and coming track aggregation will attempt
to make it two-in-a-row when they meet the Florida. Gator

Tigers won't be as big an underdog as they were before the

Able Captains
By Ronald Owen
Carrying,a big load for Auburn this baseball season is Bill
McMurry, who, as captain and cleanup man for the Tigers,
has to shoulder a lot of responsibility.
But this Fairfield lad is used to being a leader, for he has
served as co-captain of the football team.and as president of
the "A" C l u b . And he seems
qualified for the job he now holds
for he was'the leading home run
and RBI hitter on Dick Mc-
Gowen's squad last season. These
attributes make him an indespen-sible
man in the Auburn lineup.
McMURRY. CAME' to Auburn
in 1949 on a straight football
scholarship. He was recognized
statewide for his achievements on
the gridiron and the diamond at
Fairfield High, and was hailed as
one of their all-time great ath­letes.
He lettered four years in
both football and baseball.
At Auburn, McMurry had a
rather uneventful freshman year
and after the 1950 freshman base­ball
season, he dropped out of
school. He came back for the
football season in 1951 and turned
in s t e r l i n g performances for
Coach Shug Jordan. Then in 1952,
McMurry stepped into the spot­light
as a baseball star and pro­ceeded
to lead the Tigers through
one of their better seasons in re­cent
years.
LAST FALL the Fairfield lad
was elected co-captain of Au­burn's
rejuvenated Plainsmen and
climaxed his gridiron career in
grand style. He was recognized in
the conference as one of the best
defensive flankmen, and received
honorable mention on a few SEC
teams.
When spring rolled around this
year McMurry's past feats on the
diamond earned him the honor
of being elected captain of the
Tiger team. Thus far this season
the big right fielder has been
leading the Tiger's attack at the
plate and is currently runnerup
in the hitting department.
McMurry's plans for the future,
like most male college graduates,
include a short stay with Uncle
Sam. When asked about pro foot­ball,
he laughed and gave a nega­tive
answer, but said he might
accept a pro baseball offer.
IN ADDITION to his athletic
endeavors, McMurry is a mem­ber
of Blue Key, national leader­ship
honorary, and SPE social
fraternity. He is married. '•
About this year's team as com­pared
to last season's nine, Mc­Murry
says, "We have plenty of
talent, and we ought to be better
than we were last season. We just
can't seem to get started."
When asked who is the best
pitcher he has faced while at Au­burn,
the hard hitting right field­er
became thoughtful before an­swering,
"McArdle (Benny) of
Captain Bill McMurry
LSU," but he was pretty quick to
give Mississippi State the nod for
the best team in the Western di­vision,
if not in the whole con-r
ference, with Alabama and Flor­ida
close behind.
Dugger Named Writer
On Interpretation Staff
Fowler Dugger, Jr., formerly on
the staff of the Lee County Bulle­tin,
has been appointed as a writer;
on the staff of the Educational In­terpretation
Service here.
A graduate of the University of
Alabama, Dugger also holds a
master's degree from Duke Uni­versity.
He had been with the
"Bulletin" since 1948.
Appointed to succeed him on the
"Bulletin" staff is Graham McTeer,
Jr., an API graduate, class of 1950.
As an undergraduate McTeer
served as managing editor of The
Plainsman.
year's top three men returning;
the three seniors, Pearson, Peadro
and Goff have been shoved down
by freshmen Vincent Scoper and
Roy Williams. Another frosh,
George Trawa, rounds out the
State team. Pearson and Peadro
comprise one of the top ranking
doubles teams in the conference.
The Tiger netmen invade the
Tuscaloosd campus Saturday for
a single match, and Alabama will
meet the Plainsmen here April 29
in a return match.
Young released his probable
lineup against State today. Robert
Struck and Hunter Bell will fill
the two top positions, and the
other spots will be filled by Paul
Bost, John Langley, Frank Bark­er
and Albert Lee Smith or Jim
Wald.

Auburn's Ernie Snow who came to the Plains in 1949, un­known

Gains Split In Sets
With Tech, Florida
By Ronald Owen
Auburn's s l u m p i n g baseball
team finally broke an SEC losing
streak last week against Georgia
Tech, splitting a two-game series
with the Yellow Jackets, then con­tinued
along those same lines by
sharing a pair with the Florida
Gators Friday and Saturday in
Gainesville.
Paul Susce found the Yellow
Jackets hitting to his liking
in the first game with Tech and
went the route to chalk up a 9-4
win for the Tigers. The freshman
right-hander had the Atlantians
eating out of his hand most of
the game and was never in serious
trouble.

creditable ball in the game, which

spring of 1949. The lanky right­hander
had little success his first
season here and in 1951 he decid­ed
to skip*1 baseball for a year and
devote more time to his mechan­ical
engineering studies.
. WHEN SPRING rolled around
in 1952, the warm sunshine and
the sound of a ball hitting a mitt
was too much for the Kimberly
youth, so Snow rejoined the
Plainsman baseball squad. That
season he found his curve ball
working and when the final sea­son
statistics were calculated the
Tiger twirler had won four while
losing five tough SEC games. He
received honorable All-SEC men­tion
for his work on the Auburn
second place team.
So far this season the curve-balling
righthander has one win
and three losses to his credit as
the Tigers have failed to get a
winning streak underway. Snow,
like the other players, thinks that
this year's baseball team is pot­entially
one of Auburn's best.
"There's more raw talent avail­able
this year than there has been
any year since I've been here,"
Snow remarked. "I don't know
what is the matter with us."
WHEN ASKED the question,
"Who is the best hitter you've
pitched to?" the slow talking
North Alabamian didn't hesitate
before replying, "Haywood Sulli­van
of Florida. He is about the
best I've faced here or anywhere."
Snow couldn't think of a sports
thrill that was outstanding but he
was sure he got more satisfaction
out of beating Alabama than any
of the other SEC teams.
Snow is one of the few married
Auburn athletes. His wife is the
former Betty Barnes, from Fair­field,
and they have one boy, six-weeks
old, who is named Ernie,

Tubercular Survey
Moves Into Final
Stages Of Operation
According to Chick Watson,
superintendent of campus drives,
the annual tuberculosis survey,
currently being conducted on
campus, is progressing at a satis­factory
rate as it moves into its
third day of operation. Approxi­mately
one-half of the student
body, faculty, and food handlers
have been x-rayed by the two
state units located on the campus
lawn in front of Langdon Hall.
CARDS WERE mailed to the
student body prior to this week
announcing the hours for registra­tion
in the student center. Food
handlers and campus employees
have received notification of hours
during which they may report.
Faculty may report at any hour.
Watson state that, if for ..any
reason a student is unable to re­port
for an x-ray at the designated
time, he may choose another hour
in which to do so. In urging stu­dents
to cooperate with the state­wide
health movement, Watson
said, "I cannot impress upon you
the importance of taking advant­age
of this check-up.
"IT WOULD be advantageous to
an individual if a disease could
be discovered early. Causes of
tuberculosis, cancer, and various
types of heart conditions can be
] diagnosed through x-rays. You
owe it to yourself, as well as your
family, to make sure that you
visit the x-ray unit during this
week," Watson continued.
The student schedule for the re­mainder
of the week is Mart-

1-5; Pace-Ryland, Thursday morn­ing,
