Rat Cap Scarcity
Blamed On Laxity
Of API Upperclassmen
By War Eagle
Saturday turned out to be a
great day. Everybody and his
brother went crazy during,
and after, Auburn's decisive
triumph over the Ole Miss Rebels.
It has been a long time
since the Village has seen the like.
Cars jammed the streets, fraternities
turned out en masse to
greet folks with a healthy "War
Eagle." It reminded the Ole Bird
of many days in the past. Days
when a great Auburn team marched
to victory and more days when
a student body turned out and
gave them the backing and applause
they deserved.
You could call it a type of
"frenzy." When Auburn students
have it there's no stopping them.
They let everyone know it. That's
a healthy sign. You could almost
feel a sense of victory as a confident
team went methodically to
work on the Rebels. You could
sense the win fever in every jell
that came from the stands. You
_ could reach out your hand and al-
,' most grasp that thing called spirit.
It was there last Saturday—or almost.
Sitting high in the stands gave
the Ole Bird a chance to look
around at the student body. They
were a great bunch but one thing
was lacking. A casual glance revealed
the conspicuous absence of
Rat Caps. Some freshmen wore
them, but they were few in num-
1 ber. It's hard to believe that so
few freshmen were at the game.
One can't reason that way.
To my w a y of thinking, the
lack of frosh covering was a sign
of laxity on the part of upperclassmen.
Fraternities, sororities, and, yes,
' the A-Club should begin crack-
• ing down on freshmen who do not
wear their symbol of tradition.
The custom originated a long time
before any of the present Students
came on campus a n d will no
doubt remain for many years to
come.
It really should not be necessary
to force anyone to identify
himself with t h e orange and
blue. I can't understand why so
many freshmen have ceased to
consider it a privilege to be recognized
as a student from the
Plains.
The wearing of Rat Caps is a
tradition which is an inseparable
part of the life and spirit found
here at Auburn. Perhaps t he
Tiger football team's inspiring
bid for fame will arouse some of
the spirit w h i c h is evidently
missing in many of our first-year
students.
So let's get with it! Frosh, get
under those caps and wear them
with pride. Upperclassmen, try
to ingrain s o m e of that spirit
you've gotten by experience into
the people w h o haven't been
around long enough to appreciate
it fully.
Plainsmen To Battle Maroons In Starkville Tomorrow
TOP FOOTBALL COACH in the nation was the recognition
Ralph "Shug" Jordan received this week for Auburn's outstanding
upset victory over highly rated Mississippi. The victory was
the Tigers' first SEC win since 1951 and the loss was the Rebels'
first conference loss since November of that year. Jordan was also
voted "SEC Coach of the Week" and the Tigers were named conference
team of the week.
'Shug' Is U.S. Coach Of The Week;
Tigers Given Week's SEC Laurels
Mark up two for "Shug" Jordan!
The affable Auburn head football mentor is the nation's
"Coach of the Week" and the Tigers are the SEC "Team of
the Week!"
It's an honor richly deserved for the man who has been
constantly rebuilding the Tigers

On Campus Late This Month
'Miss Homecoming' Among Those
To Be Selected; Deadlines Set
By Tom Duke
A campus-wide election will be held Thursday, October 29,
to fill 18 school-officer positions, one junior and two freshmen
senator posts, and to select the 1953 "Miss Homecoming,"
according to an announcement today by Les Ford, superintendent
of political affairs.
In making the announcement,
Ford listed the deadlines for filing
declarations of intention and
making application f o r "Miss
Homecoming" candidacy, and
gave the dates for the Board of
Student Qualifications .meeting
and "the preliminary judging for
"Miss Homecoming."
ALL PERSONS w i s h i n g to
quality as candidates for the top
school positions or t h e senate
posts must turn in their declarations
of intention to the student
government office by 4:30 p.m.
on Thursday, Oct. 15. Candidates
for "M i s s Homecoming" must
submit applications, following the
form specified by the Tiger Cub,
at the s a m e time and place.
Forms for the declarations of intention
may be obtained at the
student government office.
Each college operated dormitory,
each social fraternity and
sorority, and each organization
recognized by the student senate
is eligible to nominate a coed for
"Miss Homecoming."
PRELIMINARY j u d g i n g to
select five finalists in the "Miss
Homecoming" race, will be held
in the Social C e n t e r at 7 on
Thursday night, Oct. IS.
Before senate and school candidate's
names may appear on
the ballot, they must appear before
and be approved by the
Board of Student Qualifications.
The meeting of the qualifying
board is scheduled f o r 7 p.m.,
Monday, Oct. 19.
' On the qualifying board for the
student governm ent positions will
be Ford; Arthur Moore, president
of the Student Body; Don
Johnson, Studekt B o d y vice-president,
and Bob Mayo, president
pro tern of the senate.
QUALIFICATIONS for all student
government posts at stake
in the fall eleption, as well as the
"Miss Homecoming" race may be
found in the Student Body Constitution,
which appears in the
Tiger Cub. /
The school officers (presidents
and vice presidents of each of
API's nine schools) and the frosh
senator posts are normal vacancies
which occur each fall under
the Student B o d y Constitution.
However, the.junior senator vacancy
occurred.^ due to the fact
that Jake Wagnon,, Montgomery,
who was elected as j u n i o r senator
last spring, was unable to return
to school this year.
THE STUDENT Body Constitution
states, "All vacancies occurring
in the Student Senate
before the fall quarter elections,
except during the summer quarter,
shall be filled in the fall
quarter elections."
Student Leaders Meet In Atlanta
To Discuss Tech-Auburn Relations
Student leaders from Georgia Tech and Auburn met in
Atlanta Monday, Oct. 5, for the purpose of discussing relations
between the two institutions during the Auburn-Ga.
Tech grid battle at Grant Field, October 17.
For the past five years, student leaders have met to draw
up recommendations which would

gridiron machine s i n c e taking
over the reins of head coach two
years ago. The situation was far
from rosy when Jordan took over,
after t h a t winless 1950 season.
Still the Tigers won five and lost
five his first season more on
technique t h a n material. Last
year wasn't as successful but the
potency was evident.
This is the y e a r . Jordan is
playing, for the first time, men
HE brought to Auburn and men
HE has shown the many tricks of
college football. Always stressing
team play more than individual
stardom, he, last Saturday,
reaped the fruits of his teachings
as the Tigers won strictly a team
victory over the Ole Miss Rebels.
Auburn was rated 79th in the
nation according to pre'-season
polls and Mississippi was up in
top 15 teams in the land. The
Rebels hadn't lost a conference
game since 1951 and the Tigers'
hadn't w o n a conference game
since that year. The Plainsmen
were a heavy underdog.
But, from the instant the opening
kickoff was picked up by the
Mississippians until t h e final
whistle was blown, it w a s all
Auburn. The Tigers held a highly
touted Rebel backfield to 32 net
yards rushing and 71 yards passing.
Only once in the first half
did the Rebs cross the 50 yard
stripe and that was on the final
play of the half. In the course of
the game, Mississippi could only
muster four first downs.
In the second h a l f , Johnny
Vaught's crew managed,to get to
the Aubrun seven yard line, with
four downs to score. The Tigers
were not to be denied and the
Rebels could get no further than
the one.
When the final play had been
run, Auburn was the winner,
13-0. Jordan called it his sweetest
triumph and refused to single out
a star. B u t Vince Dooley got
"Player of the Week in the SEC"
and Fob James, Jr. ran him a
close second. Vince Nardone was
honorable mention lineman of
the week for the nation. Still, the
final analysis shows the Tigers
had 22 stars, men who should be
in the headlines.
Jordan has his team now. Auburn
foes, beware!
insure the continuation of goodwill
between the intitutions.
THE CONFERENCE opened at
the Tech YMCA,with a business
meeting and concluded Monday
night with a banquet. , Colonel
Van Leer, president of Georgia
Tech, addressed the group.
It w a s recommended by the
committee that members of Blue
Key and Omicron Delta Kappa at
Auburn and the Wramblin Wreck
Club at Tech would patrol areas
surrounding Grant Field in order
to prevent incidents which would
prove embarrassing to either
school.
Arthur Moore, president of the
Auburn Student Body, urged all
students to observe t h e recommendations
of the committee. He
said, "Auburn students in the past
have conducted themselves in a
commendable manner a n d the
present student body is expected
to conduct themelves according-ingly."
RECOMMENDED at the meeting
were the following precautions:
1. No Auburn or Georgia Tech
student will wear Rat Caps before
or during the game.
2. Student newspapers will be
exchanged by the staffs of the
two schools.
3. The two b a n d s and the
Georgia Tech freshmen will remain
after the game for 15 minutes
to help avoid confusion.
4. Students are expected to re_
frain from throwing bottles, programs,
or paper cups before, during,
or after the game.
5. Cheers and yells will be only

API Enrollment Reaches 6,735 Mark
Final Statistics Not Yet Tabulated;
Housing Facilities Still Inadequate
By Herb White
API enrollment has reached the 6,735 mark and is expected
to climb even higher, stated Registrar Charles Edwards
today.
"This total indicates," Edwards said, "that the overall
enrollment will approach 6,800 when all registration records
are completed at the end of the
V
enrollment period." He also noted
that the enrollment figure at the
present time exceeds that of last
fall by over 300.
FRESHMEN, WHO enrolled this
quarter total a r o u n d 1,575 as
compared with 1,523 last year.
Approximately 500 transfer students
are enrolled, the registrar
reported. v .
Although a breakdown of complete
enrollment figures will not
be available for several weeks, informed
sources state that about
1;600 coeds are in school here. This
is the highest number of women
ever to come to API.
The dean of women's office
states that even though the new
dormitories have relieved the
housing shortage somewhat, several
hundred women were still
turned away.
DR. FLOYD Vallery, director of
men's housing, stated that due to
the increased demand the college
used emergency facilities in men's
dorms. In many cases officials
were forced to put three men to a
room.
"At the present time," Vallery
stated, "about 1,320 men students
are living in college housing. Some
men students still have temporary
accommodations in the dormitories,
but it is planned that this
situation will be relieved within
the next few weeks.
Over 1000 Auburn students are
veterans, going to school under
the GI Bill, according to P. M.
Norton, coordinator of veterans
affairs. Of these o v e r 700 are
Korean veterans.... ..

'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS'
Mississippi Journey To Carry Tigers
To Second 'SEC Game Of Week'
By Ronald Owen
Undefeated and unscored on, the upset-minded Auburn
Tigers knock heads w i t h undefeated Mississippi State in
Starkville, Miss., tomorrow in t h e Tigers second straight
"SEC Game of the Week."
Auburn and State are the only two undefeated and untied
teams left in the conference and
tomorrow's affair will see that
number cut in half. The Maroons
own three victories, including a
26-0 shellacking of strong Tennessee,
while the Plainsmen have a
47-0 Stetson win and a 13-0 Ole
Miss upset to their credit.
"We have the greatest respect in
the world for the Mississippi State
team," Coach Jordan said of the
Maroons. "They have a big, fast
charging team and they have
Jackie Parker. Along with all
that's been written and said about
them we also had a first hand
view of how they operated last
year. We are certainly going over
there with our eyes open."
Parker, All-SEC quarterback
and honorable mention All-
America last year, is the big
man for the Maroons. The State
signal caller set a new SEC scoring
record last season with 120 •
points. He was responsible for
42 of State's 49 points against
Auburn, scoring three touchdowns
himself, passing for three
more and kicking six extra
points. That performance earned
Parker "Player of the Week"
for the nation, and no doubt
helped him to earn the "Most
Valuable Player" award for the
SEC.
The Mississippi quarterback is
up tQ the same things again this
season. He was the star in State's
upset of Tennessee and is currently
leading the SEC scoring
parade with 32 points.
Other big guns for the Maroons
include halfback Zerk Wilson and
fullback George Suda. Coach
Murray Warmath will be missing
two of his regular halfbacks, Don
Morris and Arthur Davis, against
Auburn and will probably move
Bobby Collins and Lou Venier up
to the vacated spots.
Parker's favorite targets for his
passes are ends John McKee and
John Katusa, both seniors with
two years experience. McKee
caught three passes for 51 yards
against the Plainsmen last year
while co-captain Katusa gathered
in one aerial for 48 yards.
Auburn will go into the game -
in good physical condition with
only guard Ben Higgins sidelined.
Halfback Charles Littles
is still nursing a leg injury but
it is hoped that he will be able
to play against Mississippi State.
Coach Jordan will have his
usual two teams at his disposal.
Captain Vince Dooley will lead the
starters who will probably be Fob
James, left half; Charlie Hataway,
fullback; Charlie Littles, right
half; Vince Nardone and Jimmy
Long, ends; M. L. Brackett and
Frank D'Agostino, tackles; Ed
Duncan and G e o r g e Atkins,
guards, and co-captain Ed Baker,
center.
Bobby Freeman will quarterback
the second eleven consisting
of Johnny Adams, left half, Joe
Childress, fulback; Bobby Duke or
Joe Davis, right half; Jim Pyburn
and Jim Hall, ends; Ted Neura and
George Rogers, tackles, Al Brame
and Bob Scarbrough, guards; and
Jack Locklear, center. aj;

first consideration will be given
to subjects that have been previously
failed, but a student may

passed and honor points earned
in a makeup summer quarter become
part of the cumulative totals
upon which the minimum
percentages are based for determining

points earned during a summer
quarter become a part of
schedule d u r i n g the summer the student's cumulative record

Union Building To Be In Readiness
By Homecoming Says Administrator
According to W. O. Lynch, administrator of the new Auburn
Union Building, there is hope that the campus's newest
and largest building will be in readiness by the time alumni
return to the campus for Homecoming.
There has been much done to the building since the end
of the spring quarter. It is nearly
Greek Social Life
Ebbs Following
Close Of Rushing
Each of the 21 fraternities on
the API campus contributed much
time and effort planning the various
rush activities which helped
make the 1953 Fall Rush one of
the most successful rushes w i tnessed
at API in a long time.
Now that the rush parties of various
kind have ended, social activities
have dwindled off to some extent.
Maybe the members and all
new pledges will have time to
catch up on all those previous class
assignments, which were neglected
last week.
API Greek social activities and
business taking place on the campus
recently includes parties, teas,
and elections.
The Pi Kappa Phi's got off to a
early start with elections of new
completed. The fountain for the
snack bar has been installed but as
yet has not been connected. The
furnishings are arriving daily.
STUDENTS PLAYED a very
important part in the selection of
the furnishings. For a quarter the
members of the design class in the
School of Architecture worked out
the interior decorations for the<
building.
The furnishings a r e designed
to give the building an air of
complete freeness of movement,
Lynch stated. With this type of design
for the furniture, the tables

Question B: What procedure
will be, followed for admitting a
transferee who is eligible to r e turn
to the former institution, but
whose record there does not meet
the requirements at API for continuation
in residence?
Ruling: A transferee who is
eligible to return to the former
institution, but w h o s e record
there does not meet the requirements
at API for continuation in

Question C: When do the new
regulations regarding the admission
of transfer students become
effective?
Ruling: The new regulations
regarding the admission of transfer
students will become effective
at the beginning of the winter
quarter, 1954.
Question D: Will the transfer
student's entire record prior to'
the time of application for admission
be considered?
Ruling: The transfer student's

and will be made of

Mr. Lynch stated that for the
present, plans are to have the
building in readiness f o r the
weekend of Homecoming, but if
the contractor cannot finish by this
time, there will be student-conducted
tours through the building
for the weekend.
"With the new Union being added
to the Auburn campus, many
opportunities will be open to the
clubs and other such organizations
that were never offered before,"
Lynch concluded.

Today's Plainsman carries an article
focusing attention on Freshman elections
which will soon take place on campus.
We'd like to jump for joy—we'd, like to
scatter words .of praise-to the winds—we'd
even like to be commendable; but the only
feeling the editor has is a profound one:
elections will soon occur.
Such an attitude may be questioned in
some quarters. However, the lack of interest
in past elections has not presented
a situation which is a source of pride. Any
efection which fails to interest the student
body or offer a challenge to some individual
interested in being of service to the
student body can be compared to a donkey
drawing an empty cart to the produce
market.
There's no percentage.
The evidence is there. The only conclusion
to draw is that the majority of the
student body doesn't care who will represent
them in the student governing body.
Certainly students can't make excuses on
the grounds that they didn't know the
elections were coming off. Much publicity
is given to the event. Everyone knows
who, when, what, and where. In past
elections, the percentage of students, eligible
to vote, who cast a ballot has been very
low.
Perhaps the lack of interest is due to
the lack of opposition. The Plainsman
doesn't know; but it is apparent that opposition
for a campus office stirs up a desire
to cast a vote. That was proven when
the War Eagle party existed on campus
and provided opposition to the All-Campus
machine. Interest was high and competition
was keen. With the collapse of the
War Eagles, however, interest seemed to
wane.
There will be plenty of posts to be
filled in the coming election. Miss Homecoming
will be selected; presidents and
vice-presidents are to be elected, as well
as two freshman senator posts. But it
there is no opposition to these positions,
the political situation on campus will remain
in the doldrums.
For the formulation of a healthy political
situation, The Plainsman hopes that
this election will see every office opposed
by a worthwhile applicant.

The word is that Glom Editor
Fred (Benedict) Nichols is producing
this year's annual with an
entirely new look. Reports say
Nichols is changing just about
everything, with the main emphasis
being on snapshots and opening
sections.
To many who have become
somewhat apalled at the stereo-type<|
f the past, this is indeed good
news. Nichols is no artist, but
when it comes to unique ideas he's
hard to beat.
Nichol's ideas plus the artistic
assistance of his cohorts should
come up with, a Glomerata with
the needed freshness and vitality.
Louisiana State University is
again having difficulties on the
question of whether or not Negroes
should be admitted to that institution.
Previously, the only Negroes admitted
to LSU were on the graduate
level, but now A. P. Tueraud,
Jr., son of a New Orleans attorney
is seeking to enter the pre-law division,
which of course is on the
undergraduate level.
A. P. Tuerand, Sr., has handled
the cases of other Negroes seeking
admission to LSU's graduate
schools. Earlier a U. S. District
Court had ruled that Tueraud's
application must be accepted, but
a motion for a new trial has delayed
his entrance for a time at
least.
All of which is only mentioned
to point out how real and near the
problem is coming to Southern institutions.
The Sign Post
Columnist Attempts To Define 'Spirit'
Let's Be Sportsmen, Gentlemen
By Red Provost
"1 couldn't find a parking place . . . so .
Student leaders f r om Auburn arid
Georgia Tech met this week to discuss
ways and means to curb "outbursts" which
would place either of the institutions in a
b^d lieht when the two teams meet on
the pridiron next week.
The annual meeting grew out of an
unfortunate brawl which took place five
vears ago after a spirited game between
Auburn and Tech. In order to preserve
friendly relations, student leaders of both
institutions formed a committee for the
purpose of maintaining better student conduct
without detracting from the spirit of
rivalry between the schools.
Since the formation of the committee,
football games between Auburn and Tech
have given rise to very few incidences.
Again this year students are reminded to
cooperate in this endeavor. This year's
game promises to be a close one. It would
be a tragedy if Auburn students were to
allow their emotions to overcome their
good judgment, thus taking away the flavor
of a game involving two teams which
believe in sportsmanship.
The suggestions formed by the two student
leader groups are publicized on the
front page of this issue. The same attitude
is being taken in The Technique, Georgia
Tech's student newspaper. Each school is
asking for cooperation from its respective
student body.
As ably put by Russ Leverette, last
year's editor of The Technique: Students
who recognize rivalry and high spirits as
friends and a means of recreation should
disallow others to misuse them. This reduces
to a matter of personal responsibility.
Every Auburn student and every
Tech student should wear his best school
spirit to the game and dismiss notions of
post-game revenge.
Student leaders from both institutions
will be on hand to quell any disturbance
which may arise. It is hoped that they
will not be called upon. Rather than risk
the possibility of endangering the integrity
and respectability of either institution,
students sholud take it upon themselves to
heed the advice resulting from the committee
meeting.
Let the "War Eagles" ring out loudly
in Atlanta, but above all be a sportsman
about it no matter who comes out on the
short side of the score.

'Housemother... an editorial debate"
By Herb White
Several days ago, I was browsing
around, looking through student
newspapers f r o m other
schools. In one of these papers'
headlines t h i s columnist was
greeted with — "Housemothers —
an editorial debate." Having very
littio t;™., ot tv,e moment, and being
very interested
in t he
subject, I cut
out the editorial
for reading at a
later date.
Upon m o re
careful examination
I found
White that the article
was pretty good and presented a
meritorious argument. And after
careful deliberation decided to
print it in this column, partly because
of recent coed comment on
housemothers and partly because
of my own experience with them.
"Shug" Receives A Just Reward
This columnist's stand on the
"matter is entirely neutral. I am
printing it only as a good argument
for one school of thought.

miserable by the darting glances
and cutting words which a housemother
may frequently use? Some
housemothers must have the idea
that the more girls that they penalize,
the more secure they are in
the school system. The ease of the
relationship of a girl with her
housemother can sometimes be
more severe than a boy and his
housemother. The housemother,
through many devious ways and
means, can make the life of a girl
that of misery and anxiety. How?
The girl is checked on leaving,
entering; her room and its personal
effects can be a point of issue;
telephone calls; having friends in
the room; her hour of retirement,
and her own personal makeup.
"A housemother should meet
certain requirements. There should
be an election in the'middle 'of9, \
each school year by each dormitory
as to whether she should re-»
main or not. People who live with
a housemother should certainly
know whether she is capable or
not of being in the responsible job
which she has. The administration
could not possibly judge a housemother
merely on the strength of
her outside qualifications. It is the
student who lives and resides under
the same roof as the housemother
who really knows her.
They are the ones who know her
qualities of merc,y, disposition, and
efficiency. They know, too, if she
lives by the rules which she seeks
to enforce."
It's always a hazardous business
to try to define the undefinable,
but that's what an Auburnite runs
up against whenever he attempts
to explain the inimitable Auburn
spirit to the wondering outsider.
There are varying degrees of
school spirit in almost any college,
but that at API is unique in many
respects.
One of the more obvious manifestations
of this loyalty is the
support given the football team by
the student body, even in the most
dismally unsuccessful season. For
example, Atlantans never cease
to wonder at the droves of War
Eagling students and alumni who
descend upon Grant Field every
year, in spite of the many moons
which have passed since the Tigers
wrecked Tech. (Note to Bobby
Dodd: beware the Ides of October).
The spirit is reflected in the
team itself, which perennially has
the habit of ignoring the odds-makers
a n d often makes like
little David.
But the football spirit is just one
aspect of the feeling which makes
Auburn the institution it is. That,
plus the general friendliness and
good-will on campus, spring from
a sense of "belonging" such as is
found at few other schools. For
the individual student, this "belonging"
is returned in direct proportion
to the amount of interest
shown in campus activities. If
there are those here who feel that
they are missing out on some of
the spirit, it is probably because
they are not participating with
their fellow students in the activities
which are helping to make
this an even greater Auburn.
What are these activities? Take
a look at the API Bulletin. There
are some 50 technical and departmental
organizations, a well-organized
intramural sports program,
Student Government activities
(including VOTING), a symphony
orchestra, bands, glee clubs,
the Auburn Independent Organi-z
a t i o n, fraternities, sororities,
church organizations, and publications
— repeat, publications, to
name a few. The ne*r Student
Union building will »pen up new
opportunities for service on the
various committees on Union activities.
Another new and promising
activity on campus is the Auburn
Veterans Association.
I still haven't defined the Auburn
spirit, have I? To heck with
defining it, I'm satisfied just to
have it around.

\ ' Some Coeds Thoughtless In Dining Hall
By JoAnn Lucci
Honor though it may be, Coach Jordan's
selection this week signifies that
Auburn has returned to the ranks of football
prowess. It is a pronounced statement
that Coach Jordan in three years, has
brought the Plainsmen back to power.
There could be no greater indication that
It is tradition at Auburn for the spirit
to shine through regardless of the roughness
of the road. Coach Jordan and his
boys have contributed m o r e than their
share to further the cause this year. Such
is the blessing for a supreme amount of
confidence and the stability of a dauntless
faith.

Let Us Have Your Opinion
Auburn is an institution which listens
to the voice of the student. Since The
Plainsman is an instrument of student expression
it follows a policy of presenting
any student's opinion to its reading public
so long as that expression is in good taste.
This publication invites students response
on matters of importance, or of interest.
Others have the chance to read
your opinion in the newspaper's column,
"Bouquets and Brickbats." Letters not
exceeding 250 words are welcome no matter
what the subject may be or whether
the editor is in agreement with the writer.
The Plainsman looks forward to hearing
from students. Be sure it carries your
signature and we'll print it.

Although he is not new to the
music business (he was an arranger
and sideman for the Tommy
Tucker, Elliot Lawrence, and Stan
Kenton orchestras), Gerry Mulligan
is a young and talented new
arrival to the often perilous profession
>of band leading. His small
band, or more technically, his
large combo, might very easily become
one of the leading exponents
of the exacting and exciting field
of music known as progressive
jazz.
Gerry has" been aptly described
by Gene Norman as "a young
composer who somehow combines
the restless intensity of a serious
and sensitive musician with the
levity of a leprechaun." This unusual
talent has been displayed to
full advantage in his debut as a
Capitol recording artist.
"Gerry Mulligan and his Ten-
Tette" is the progressive fan's cup
of tea. It features highly stylized
arrangements of one standard and
seven Mulligan originals, in which
the 10-piece combo displays itself
as a closely knit and technically
disciplined organization. Everything
about this outfit is unusual
in a modern way from the word
"go," Its most interesting facets
are an intriguing instrumentation
and the removal of the piano from-,
the rhythm section.
As a result of this the piano is,
used only as an occasional solo instrument
with Mulligan doubling
on both the piano and the baritone
sax.
The personnel is composed of
Mulligan, baritone sax and piano;
Chet Baker, trumpet; Pete Can-doli,
trumpet; John Graas, French
horn; Bud Shank, alto-sax; Don
Davidson, baritone sax; Bob En-evoldsen,
trombone; Ray Siegel,
tuba; Joe Mondragon, bass, and
Chico Hamilton or Larry Bunker,
drums.
The result is ingenious free expression,
within the limits of disciplined
jazz, at its best. Gerry's
"featured" piano is almost impossible
to describe, yet his seemingly
formless style is in complete
congress with the new sound of the
orchestra. The mood varies from
that of a German wind band to a
warm mellow sound, but always
with a beat. ("Gerry Mulligan and
his Ten7Tette" presented by Gene
Norman; Capitol, 2 EPs).

The team of Nat "King" Cole by
the orchestra of Nelson Riddle has
once again been made available to
those who like their music smooth
and romantic. Capitol Records,
who know a good thing when they
see it, proved themselves wise in
keeping the pair together.
While both artists have done
well independently, they have
lifted the sometimes hamstrung
romantic ballad to new heights
when allowed to work together.
Since their first big hit, "Too
Young," and t h e i r follow-up,
"Somewhere Along the Way,"
Riddle has managed to keep his
orchestrations from getting too
sweet while backing "Nat" Cole
at his mellow best. The final
product is an album of romantic
mood music performed in a most
tasttful manner by two men who
are-tops in their field. ("Nat 'King'
Colcl Sings for Two in Love," orchestra
conducted, by N e l s on
Rid<fle; Capitol, 2 EP2s).
Some pretty bad traits were
noticeable among API students
around Tigertown recently, ranging
from lack of appreciation to
hard down impoliteness.
One of the things called to our
attention was the fact that some of
the women students eating in the
new dining hall show absolutely
no appreciation for the beauty of
t h e cafeteria.
During the last
rainy weather,
many of them
went in to eat
and piled wet
rain coats on
top of the potted
plants in
t h e entrance
hall.
We r e a l i z e
that those girls
j u s t weren't
thinking of the harm they might
have done to the ornamental
plants in that manner, but just
the same we agree with others we
heard comment on the matter;
Lucci
after such a long wait for a dining
hall where coeds can eat in pleasant
surroundings, care should be
taken to see that the cafeteria
stays pretty and new-looking for
as long as possible.
And of course, primary responsibility
for seeing that it is not defaced
in any way, lies with those
who use it. We hope that in the future
everyone will think twice before
throwing raincoats or anything
else around where they
might injure the plants or spoil
the cafeteria's appearance.
While on the dining hall subject,
numerous complaints have
been heard about girls leaving
trays on the table rather than
standing in line. We were guilty
of it once on the first day of
school before we were informed
of the operation of the dumbwaiter,
but after several weeks
ignorance can no longer be an excuse.
Those who still walk away
without sending down their trays
not only cause extra labor for the
dining hall workers, but are unfair
to their fellow students who
are standing in line, i,.
This situation should be stopped,
for if some get away with being
too lazy to stand in line, others
might be tempted to try it. Soon
there would be more trays left on
tables than sent down the dumbwaiter.
Auburn women are supposed to
possess outstanding qualities, so
we should all cooperate and make
it unnecessary for the dining hall
staff or WSGA to crack down on
cafeteria rules.
* * ^
Our prediction of beating Ole
Miss came true, although we -did
miss the margin of victory. Anyway,-
outguessing most of the nation's
sportswriters on the Tiger
win makes us willing to go out on
another limb. The undefeated, un-scored
on Plainsmen will take
State, but it will be very close and
the Mississippians will spoil API's
"un-scored on" record.
As I Was Saying
Local Bookstore Clerk Discourteous
By Jack Boozer
One of Auburn's downtown
bookstores has as charming a staff
of ladies as can be found anywhere.
Unfortunately, a man also
works for this establishment in a
managerial capacity who evidently
is not versed in the manners
appropriate to a gentleman.
My somewhat critical estimation
of this individual is the result of
an experience I had recently, when
I purchased an article from the
bookstore under consideration. It
ail came about when I asked a
clerk, evidently somewhat inexperienced,
if the store would exchange
the article if i t was not. the
one used in the course for which
I desired it. A perfectly reasonable
question I thought.
To my amazement, when the
clerk asked the man acting in a .
managerial capacity w h a t the
policy of the store was in relation
to exchanges, he replied in- the»
most insulting tone of voice to the
clerk that it was, "in the book," or
some expression to that effect and
that she shoujd know the store's
policy in relation to returned '
articles and further implied that
she should know better than to
bother him.
Perhaps I have been associating
with the wrong people, but the
people with whom I usually associate
find that it is just as easy to be
courteous as it is to be discourteous,
even to a clerk. The man may
not have realized that he behaved
in a most rude and ungentleman-like
manner, but coming from an
employee of a store which boasts
of its long record of service to
Auburn students, I found it entirely
uncalled for.
Being an omnivorous reader, it
is my custom to spend hundreds of
dollars* each year on books, but, in
the future, when I am in Auburn,
I shall make it a point to try a
certain bookstore last.
* * *
Those who missed the long
awaited tilt between St. Jude and
Lee County High missed a most
diverting and entertaining evening.
I daresay a thousand API
students made their way to Auburn's
City Park to see this game.
Finding myself* on St. Jude's
bleachers, I became a St. Jude
rooter and, consequently, ceased
to worry about the outcome of the
game at an early moment and
joined forces with a group of fans
seeking to have the coach put in a
"strategic replacement," namely
number "three." We finally succeeded,
after prolonged effort, and
our replacement charged in about
a minute before the end of the
half. He was almost as good as
the head majoritte (at least we
thought so). But the mean old
coach thought otherwise and took
him out.
Oh well, there is nothing quite
like a Negro football game. And
it is unfortunate that Auburn will
not be able to sign up the boy who
tossed all those .fifty yard passes.

The Ole Miss Pep Rally was a
splendid affair. I had the good
fortune to sit near an individual
possessed of a remarkable sense of
humor. His running commentary
on the prevailing scene was so extraordinary
and mirth provoking
that many persons thought he was
running for cheerleader.

One of my hobbies is hunting

Girl's Cafeteria Sports New Facilities
At Open House Sunday Afternoon
The Food Service Staff, in cooperation with the Women's
Student Government Association, sponsored an open house
in the girls' dining hall last Sunday afternoon. The open
house was held for the purpose of acquainting the students
and the public with the cafeteria, its staff, and equipment. .
Guests were met at the main
entrance by the reception committee,
including Mrs. Kathryn Harp-
' er, President, and Mrs. Ralph B.
Draughon, Dean Katharine Cater,
Suzanne Morgan, and Mr. and
Mrs. W. T. Ingram. A tour of the
dining hall was conducted, and
light refreshments were served.
THE A L A B A M A legislature
granted the appropriation of funds
for improving the dining hall in
the fall of 1951. Temporary dining
facilities were set up, and the
dining hall closed in June, 1952.
Construction began following
the close of bids in November,
1952. Efficiency, plus cleanliness
was stressed in all improvements.
The serving was changed from
family style to cafeteria style and
the seating capacity doubled. To
eliminate noise, the equipment for
dishwashing and preliminary preparation
was moved downstairs.
THE HOBART automatic dishwasher
installed is the largest
model put out by that company. A
new system of lighting has been

Air Force Releases Fall Cadet Posts
Colonel James W. Townsend, PAS&T at API, today released
Drill assignments for AFROTC cadets for the fall
quarter.
AFROTC cadets at Auburn and other colleges and universities
throughout the nation previously speculated on an
Air Force anouncement which in
effect would have discharged all
cadets, with a few possible exceptions,
from the program unless
they agreed to take flight
training.
AIR FORCE ROTC headquarters
in Montgomery issued a new
announcement last week which
rescinded the old ruling. As the
policy stands today, cadets who
are now under contract will be
permitted to complete college
training in the program.
Following is a list of advanced
cadets w h o command the AFROTC

Wilson, Cole Win
In Pep Squad Race
Hundreds o f enthusiastic
supporters turned out Thursday
night for a rousing pep
rally that decided who were
to be the two new girl cheerleaders
for t h e coming seasons.
Ann Wilson, a senior in education
from Montgomery, and Catherine
Cole, a sophomore in home
economics from Opp, won by a
very close decision over the other
three contestants.
The losers, Jean Thames, Ope-lika,
Bennieta Andrew, Perry, Ga.,
and Sis Atkinson, Huntsville, were
edged out in what Dennis Calhoun,
head cheerleader for the
past two years, called the closest
contest he h a d ever witnessed.
Calhoun echoed what must have
been thought by most of the spectators;
"The decision w a s very
difficult for the judges since all
five contestants did exceptionally
well. As for me, this is the closest
contest I have witnessed during
two years as head cheerleader."
THE TWO neophytes replaced
Jill Rawls and Marion Lamar, of
Columbus, Ga., and Auburn, respectively.
Decisions on winners of the
vacant spots left by Calhoun, who
graduates this fall, and Wick Wat-kins,
who was called into service
with the armed forces, was not
available when The Plainsman

the victors was held last

Columnist Lauds 'Shug', Team
For Performance In Ole Miss Tilt
I had been in the office for two hours t r y i n g my best to
t h i n k but Little Conscience just wouldn't leave me alone.
"You've got a column to do," it kept saying, "and you've got
p l e n t y to write about."
"O.K., O.K., I know I have a column to write, but what
gets me is where to start. It was a great game, and I'm not
s u r e my vocabulary is sufficient to bestow on Coach Shug
J o r d a n ' s Tigers t h e elaborate praise due them."
"Yeah, I know," Little Conscience answered, t r y i n g to be
helpful. "But you already know a few
things you've got to say. One, for sure,
is that there's never been any team
take the field more full of fight and
determination than Auburn w a s last
Saturday. Not for just a q u a r t e r or a
hakf. And not in splurges. Those boys
were in there tooth and toenail all the
way. Why, just look at the statistics!
The Tigers had 215 net yards rushing to
t h e Rebels 32. Auburn made 16 first
downs to Ole Miss's four, and ran 75
plays from scrimmage to Mississippi's
57. That tells t h e story right there!"
"That ain't no lie," I said, shaking my head. "That line
play was what got me. Ole Miss was supposed to have one
of the best running backfields in the SEC, but boy, oh boy,
they didn't get anywhere last week against our men. They
couldn't go around end because Vince Nardone, J i m m y Long,
J im P y b u r n and J im Hall just wouldn't let them. And when
they t u r n e d a play in, ole Ed Baker, Charles Hataway, Jack
Locklear and Joe Childress were waiting there ready to
smear those Delta boys."
"Yeah, and while you're talking about defense, don't forget
the way Fob James, Bobby Duke, Vince Dooley, Bobby Freeman,
J o h n n y Adams and J o e Davis were coming in from the
secondary and making some of those tackles," LC interrupted.
"And the way they covered those pass receivers! , Eagle Day
didn't look so good for the Rebs that day. He just completed
one pass of Mississippi's four."
"You gotta mention, too, the center of the Auburn line.
M. L. Brackett, Frank D'Agostino, Ed Duncan, and George
Atkins, the s t a r t e r s , fought against every one of the 32 yards
Ole Miss gained. And you couldn't tell any difference when
Don Rogers, Ted Neura, Bob Scarbrough and Al Brame came
t in the game. In fact, you had to look h a r d to find any difference
between the s t a r t i n g eleven and the subs."
While LC paused for breath, I managed to get a few
choice sentences into the conversation. "Fob James, Bobby
Freeman, Charles Hataway and Joe Childress were really
r u n n i n g that ball," I said. "It's a pleasure to watch that
James run. When he went 13 y a r d s for that second touchdown,
t h e r e wasn't a hand laid on-him. That boy's due for
all SEC honors for sure."
"He sure is," LC came back. "But you can't pick out a
s t a r of that game. There were 22 men who played their
h e a r t s out and a coaching staff who worked long and hard
in preparation and they all deserve recognition. You know
what Rebel coach J o h n n y Vaught said, 'That Auburn TEAM
played great. THEY beat the hell out of us today'."
"Yeah, guess t h a t about sums it u p , " I said. "Wonder how
we'll do tomorrow? Mississippi State is really gonna be
tough. They've got Jackie Parker, All-American candidate,
at quarterback, you know."
"Sure, I know," LC said, just a bit angry at me, "but we
have Dooley and Freeman at quarterback and plenty more
to help them. You can bet one thing too—that those Maroons
are gonna r u n into t h e toughest, fightingest team they've met
t h i s year."
"You dern tootin," I said as I covered up my typewriter
and prepared to take my leave, "and that kind of fight may
win Shug another 'Coach of the Week' trophy. There just
ain't a b e t t e r way to go undefeated than not losing a game."

failed to t h r e a t e n the scrappy Tigers until t h e last five minutes
of the contest when the Plainsmen fought off a futile
scoring effort.
It was the first time Coach
Jordan's lads had enjoyed an SEC
victory since 1951.
THE TIGERS' initial score came
in the second period when junior
quarterback B o b b y Freeman
squirmed over from the one-yard
line to climax a 57-yard march. It
was Vince Dooley, however, who
engineered the f i n a l tally. In
eleven plays the fiery Auburnites
moved the ball 71 yards, the
scoring jaunt being made by Fob
James, Jr. from the eight-yard
stripe.
Joe Davis added the .point from
placement, after missing in his
first attempt.
THE DEFEAT ended a 13 game
regular season winning streak for
the Rebs.
It would be impossible to commend
any one Auburn player for
his job in the contest since all of
the 22 players who saw action displayed
outstanding form.
Latin Americans Elect
Recently elected officers of the
Latin American Club for the 1953-
54 school year are Francisco Fernandez,
president, Cuba; Guiller-mo
Maymir, vice-president, Cuba;
Denis Alcock, treasurer, Peru;
Luis Gaitan, secretary, Cuba, and
Dr. Allen S. Edgar, faculty adviser.
ZTA Pledges Elect
Pledges of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority
recently elected the following
as their officers for the
coming year. Dixie Dodd, Nashville,
president; Beckey Short,
Birmingham, vice-president; Beverly
Pierce, Mobile, secretary, and
Elinor Colley, Nashville, historian.
James shone, on the last play
of the first half when he sprinted
'39 yards to pull down Houston
Patton on the Auburn ten yard
line, after he had pulled in a
screen pass from Lea Pasley.
AFTER INTERMISSION the
Bengals immediately took command
and soon found themselves
on the Ole Miss 18. This is the
drive that was capped by James'
touchdown sprint. •**
Auburn received aid on several
occasions from Bob Scarbrough
and George Rogers, who pounced
on fumbles all afternoon.
The next foe for the Plainsmen
is powerful Mississippi State. The
struggle will take place tomorrow
afternoon in Starkville.
Plainsman Frosh
To Battle 'Baby' Bama
Monday afternoon the once-tried
Baby Tigers of Coach Dick
McGowan meet the University of
Alabama frosh at 2 p.m. in Cliff
Hare stadium. In last year's game
the Plainsmen frosh crushed Bama
13-7.
Although defeated by Georgia,
the f r o s h uncovered several
promising prospects, who may see
varsity service later in the season.
Frank Reeves, a Georgia All-
State center, was a standout in
the center of the line, along with
Jim Strain, Fairfield; Jim Warren,
Valdosta, Ga., and Pete Ros-sos,
Mobile.
Sammy Hardin, also from Valdosta,
was the only Auburnite to
break into the scoring column
against Georgia and is one of the
brightest of the numerous talent-the
haunt
of the
Baskervilles M | | |
ONCE there was a ghost named Leroy, who lived in a
haunted cottage near a large Eastern university. Every
Friday night, at exactly seven o'clock, he'd slide under the
door of Baskerville Hall, (the main dorm), and give the students
all the answers to next week's quizzes.
This was quite a set up. No studying, no cramming . . . and
straight A's all term long. But then, one Friday, the hour
came and went. No Leroy! And the following week, all the
Baskerville Boys got an F on every quiz!
The Friday after that, all of Baskerville Hall waited . . .
and waited. But still no Leroy! In high dudgeon, they set out
to find him. Creeping into Leroy's haunted cottage . . . the
Baskerville 3oys found him moaning and groaning. "What's
the matter, Leroy?" they asked.
Leroy wiped a ghostly tear from his ghostly eye. "The
weather's so hot, every time I put on a shirt the collar curls
and wilts. I haven't been out for two weeks!"
In high glee, the Baskerville Boys hurried to the local
Van Heusen dealer and bought a dozen Van Heusen Century
Shirts with the revolutionary soft collar that won't wrinkle
ever. Regular collars, spread collars. $3-95 for whites, $4.95
for colors. "A very good investment," they thought.
Leroy was delighted. He rewarded the boys with all the
answers to the following week's quizzes. Two months later,
all the boys from Baskerville Hall had flunked out. Leroy's
good-looking Van Heusen Century Shirts made him so popular
with the co-eds, that he didn't have time for quizzes or answers.

Intramural Play To Get Underway 3
Next Week According To Evans
By Larry Conner
, Intramural Sports Editor
Better start making out that starting line up, frat managers.
It's just four days to the opening whistle.
There has been a delay in the independent timetable,
namely managers not meeting and rosters not being turned
in. Coacn Evans hopes to get the independent and church
teams to the starting gate Monday,
Oct. 19.
This is going to be the year of
the new look in the church league.
The girls are going to be in
there playing right along side the
boys in bowling, ping-pong and,
possibly, volley ball and tennis.
For any of you church organizations
that haven't heard about
the new innovation, I'll stop and
let you in on the word. Coach
Evans feels, as "do all the church
managers he has talked to about
this new idea, t h a t since the
church teams a r e representing
organizations which are made up
of both men and women, the coeds
should be given an opportunity
to participate in the infra-mural
campaigns of their respective
organizations.
All girls I have talked to about
this new intramural p l a n were
very enthusiastic. One church organization
already has over 20
girls signed up for ping-pong and
that sport doesn't start until the
winter quarter.
Coach Evans has asked that all
the church league managers meet
with hhjj: Tuesday at 7 p.m. in
Thach 319 to discuss the new setup.
A last word to the Church Lea_

Freeman Finds Signal-Calling
Easier After Loss Of Other Tooth
By Hamp Royston
"See t h a t ? That's what Campbell did for me last year
over at Georgia." The speaker was Bobby Freeman. Auburn
quarterback, and t h e " t h a t " refers to a gap in t h e front of his
mouth formely occupied by two teeth. The Campbell mentioned
is Georgia's All-America tackle, who has been recognized
as a past master at such • :
whistle so badly the other guys
could hardly understand me. But
since Campbell took the other
one out, I only lisp a little, and
the guys can understand me fine."
AND ^T seems that Campbell
not only did Freeman a favor, but
also gave Auburn's football fortunes
a shove forward. Freeman's
quarterbacking in Auburn's fine
showing thus far this season has
been nothing short of excellent.
He was an outstanding figure in
the Tiger's 47-0 rout of Stetson
and in their great upset victory
over the Ole Miss Rebs, 13-0.
matters of mayhem.
"Campbell got one of my front
teeth on that play," continued
Freeman, "but he didn't realize
that he was doing me a favor.
You see, before Campbell took
that one out, I had just one tooth
missing. When I'd call signals in
the huddle, the gap made me

On rainy 'days when the field is

Gridder Rates Special Recognition

tivities. Besides his somewhat
strenuous schedule he manages to
consistently maintain close to a
"B" average. Other important
functions on Jim's agenda are
those of both the A-Club and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon social fraternity.
ALTHOUGH HE starred for
three years at Morgan County
High School, the 6 foot, 195-pound
end received most of his football
notice while playing at Baylor
Prep in Chattanooga. He played
there in 1949 and 1950 and earned
All-Mid-South, All Southern, and
All-America honors. Jim also
played one season of basketball
7—THE PLAINSMAN Friday, October 9, 1953
at the Tennessee school.
Long didn't confine his achievements
at Baylor to the gridiron
alone. He was on the Honor Council
and was awarded a Good Citizenship
trophy by the Daughters
of the American Revolution.
IN 1951 Long became the second
member of his family to penetrate
the Auburn football picture. It
was back in 1929 that his father,
"Shorty" Long, played end and
captained the Plainsman eleven.
Soon after the younger Long arrived
on the scene he received a
starting assignment in the tussle
with Wofford. It was in this contest
that he started to live up to
the advance reports which accompanied
him to Auburn. Sports-writers
selected him "Outstanding
Lineman" in the game. To add
to his 1951 laurels, Jim was named
to the All-SEC Freshman
squad.
One of his most dangerous football
weapons is his adept blocking
ability, an art which won for
him two blocking trophies during
his tour of duty at Baylor.
BESIDES ALL the aforemen-
(Continued on page 8)
Freeman has rushed 13 times
for a total of 58 yards, and has
completed 9 of 15 pass attempts.
Two of these went for touchdowns.
Not lacking in the scoring
column himself, Freeman h as
rushed for two touchdowns. A
mainstay on defense, he has intercepted
two passes this season.
This is only a sample of what
Auburn coaches are expecting of
the 20-year-old junior in physical
education from Decatur.
While in high school, Freeman
was a three-year letterman in
both football and basketball, and
was named to .the All-State teams
in b o t h sports. Having enough
credits to enter college, Freeman
came to Auburn in the spring of
1951 without having graduated
from high school in order to participate
in spring football practice
that year. This is only one
indication of his great love for
the game. He also plays baseball.
Freeman hit .300 while playing
third base for the Decatur Indians
of the Tennessee Valley
semi-pro league last summer.
FREEMAN'S interests off the
athletic field center around hunting
and fishing. When asked why
he chose Auburn as the place to
continue his search f o r knowledge,
he replied, "Well, I visited
quite a few of the SEC schools,
but in my h o m e town people
think there are only two places
'to;; go to school—Alabama and
Auburn. It's hard to p u t your
finger on it, but I guess Auburn's
friendliness impressed me most."
Freeman's nickname is "The
Goose." When asked how he acquired
it he answered, "When I
first came down here, folks noticed
how gangly and loose I was.
So I guess they thought I w as
'loose as a goose'."

stepped on a diamond back rattler;
the first one that I had ever
seen at close range and he was a
big one.
There we were, the snake and
I, all alone. For a moment, I
thought of making a "strategic
withdrawal," but the Boozer stubbornness
prevailed, so I glared at
my antagonist who in turn glared
back. My stubbornness won out,
however, and the rather large rattler
returned to the sanctuary of
some rotten l«gs.
It was quite an experience. In
fact, I almost resolved that my
future perambulations would be
delayed until cold weather, but, I
probably will be out next week
seeking the vestiges of Alabama's
aboriginal past. Here's hoping that
I see the next rattler first too.
