'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS'
Faulkner To Bring
Talkathon April 15;
Club To Parade
ENJOYING SOME of the cool comforts of Chewacla is Mary
Nan Hurd, a freshman in education from Atmore. She obviously
took time off this week to visit this favorite retreat for overworked
students.
As the political wars rage
hot and heavy with the gubernatorial
candidates making a
final campaign thrust before
the May 4 primary, the "Loveliest
Village" will be host to
Jimmy Faulkner tomorrow, April
15. Faulkner, surging candidate
for the governorship, will conduct
his famed talkathon here at
the Tiger Motor Company from 4
until 9 p.m.
Publisher, Senator
Faulkner hails from Bay Min-ette
and has served as a publisher
and as State Senator. Several of
the more influential and prominent
newspapers of the state have
merged forces to boost the youth,
ful South Alabamian for the governorship.
Students have been urged to
submit questions to the Faulkner
"talkathon" during its brief tenure
here.
Other Candidates Appear
Other 'gubernatorial aspirants
to appear in Auburn have been
Jack NDwen, Henry Sweet, Winston
Gullatte and Bruce Henderson.
Bill Falkcnberry, chairman of
Auburn's "Students For Faulkner"
organization, announces that all
students are invited to join in a
parade to welcome gubernatorial
candidate Jimmy Faulkner when
he arrives at Opelika tomorrow
afternoon.
The students will form on the
Opelika highway at 2 p.m. a
block beyond the caution light.
They will then proceed to Opelika
to meet Senator Faulkner and
accompany him back to Auburn
in a parade. Estimated time of arrival
in Auburn is 3:30 p.m.
Famed Talkathon Slated
The Bay Minette Senator will
conduct his famous "talkathon"
at (he Tiger Motor Co. after his
arrival.
"Students For Faulkner" held
its initial meeting Monday, April
12. Walter Everidge, Decatur, Ga.,
was a co-instigator of the movement
with Falkenberry.
This is the first club of its type
to be organized on the campus in
the current gubernatorial race.
Air Force ROTC
Comes Under Fire
For rToughr Policy
The Air Force ROTC policy
that says "fly or don't get a
contract" is under heavy fire.
And the issue may be settled
shortly, according to the
Army-Navy Air Force Journal.
The newspaper, which calls itself
the "spokesman of the serv-^
ices," says that the Pentagon is
under "heavy and influential pressure"
to get rid of the present air
ROTC policy.
The nearness of graduation is
credited with bringing the issue
to a head.
Authorities Worried
Top air force authorities are
worried because they can't get
enough men to man planes for the
137-wing program. This was the
reason for the policy.
They warn that "dire results"
may come from a reversal of the
present plan.
The Journal said that air force
authorities say "without the added
pressure to motivate flying training
requests in air ROTC, the air
force will find it impossible to obtain
enough new pilots with college
training."
The air force says it would have
to commission as pilots thousands
of men who had only a high-school
education.
If the air force's present policy
is kept, about 4,000 non-flying air
ROTC graduates over the country
would go on active duty 'as airmen
third class. They would be
given a reserve commission after
serving two years.
College presidents are saying
that this policy is not keeping faith
with students who were promised
commissions if they completed the
four-year ROTC course.
The complaints are aggravated
by the recent defense department
ruling that all army ROTC graduates
will be called to active duty
for two years.
Only 90 Days
The army wanted to call only
about one third of its graduates
this year, with the rest to serve
for 90 days and then go to reserve
units.
The defense department rejected
this on the grounds that the men
had been deferred from the draft
to attend college and therefore
should serve as long as draftees.
The college presidents and students
who are not to receive commissions
are winning support from
legislators and reserve officials in
their campaign to get a policy reversal,
according to the Journal.
Students Converge On Campus Polls;
War Eagle Party Lands Two Positions
Over 51 per cent of the Auburn student body voted last week in the annual all campus electionsas
3 134 votes were cast, according -toTommy Fitzpatrick, acting superintendent of political affairs.
According to Fitzpatrick, the exact percentage of the student body that voted numbered 51.93 per
cent. This number places second tc the record established in 1951 when over 54 per cent of Auburn'stu-
' dents voted.

National Acclaim Brought To Auburn
By Research Done In Fish Culture
By Carmer Robinson
With the budding of spring and the subsequent sap rising,
many fevers begin infecting the adventurous population.
Perhaps the greatest unheralded spring motivation is the innate
feeling that causes men to congregate on the banks of
streams and lakes in search for acquatic inhabitants commonly
referred to as fish.
, One of the more famous of the
many attributes of API is the
fisheries department, now located
in the old Graves Center Dining
Hall. The average student may not
be aware that our fisheries and
research conducted on fish species
are acclaimed world-wide. The experimental
work being carried on
at Auburn is numbered among the
largest in the world.
152 Ponds
Headed by Professor H. S.
Swingle, fish culturist, the division
of fisheries includes 152
experimental ponds, which cover
approximately 150 acres. The
ponds are stocked with many different
types and species of fish.
The School of Fisheries has 22
students currently enrolled in its
curriculum. Among t h e s e are
four students from foreign countries.
The students major in fish
management and have jobs of
fered by various organizations
which include the United States
Department of Fish and Wildlife
Service, State Fish and Game
Department, and numerous commercial
minnow enterprises'. The
curriculum also provides for post
graduate work which leads to a

Lindy Martin, 'Big' Brother At Mag,
Also Serves As Baptist Minister
By Howard Skelton
Most colleges have a graduate counselor in the rrfain men's
dormitory, a few have an ordained minister for the men to
discuss their problems with, but Auburn's Magnolia Hall has
both—in the person of one Rev. Lindy Martin.
Rev. Martin, who's better known around Magnolia Men's
Dormitory as just "Lindy," is ser-

ving as graduate counselor for the
dormitory while he is doing graduate
work in counseling education.
Also Pastor
Besides being graduate counselor
at Magnolia, Martin is part-time
pastor of the We.ogufka Baptist
Church in Weogufka. Martin's
counselor job is a part-time job
that requires full time service and
he is pastor of his church every
second and fourth Sundays.
Lindy's job at Magnolia includes
a l i t t l e of everything,
ranging f r o m coordinating the
men's social life with the senior
counselors to discussing any
problem from financial to religious
matters with the more than
900 men who live at Magnolia.
This the young Baptist minister
likes because, as he puts it,
"I have the opportunity'to be a
big brother to all of the men,
which is. certainly in my ministerial
line."
Looked For
"It's just what I've looked for
and wanted," young Martin explains,
"because I'm called upon
to help in many capacities. Certainly
the men , students' needs
aren't all theological."
Martin comes to Auburn well
qualified to fulfill his position, as
graduate^ counselor, as his record
in undergraduate school at Pem-brooke
State College in North
Carolina is nothing short of outstanding.
At Pembrooke, Martin was
president of the student government,
the senior class and the
Christian Student Union. Also, he
was editor of his college newspaper
and was selected for Who's
Who in American Colleges and
Universities.
Religious Field
i la his religious field, he was.
tnojt,pnly' president of the Chris-tion
Student Union, b u t also
president of the North Carolina
Student Union for two years. He
has worked at Ridgecrest, the
Baptist Youth Assembly, for five
summers and has been pastoring
and doing youth work all over
the Southern Baptist Convention
since he graduated from Pembrooke
in 1952.
Besides attending classes, pastoring
his church, and doing a
full-time job of counseling at
Magnolia, Lindy works with the
local BSU and is in demand for
numerous speaking engagements,
such as the Baptist Noonday Services.
"My only wish is that I could
speak to more of the students—
nothing doctrinal, but of the devotional
type talk," Marlin exclaimed.
The 21-year-old minister says
that out of the more than 50 college
campuses he has vistcd
throughout the nation, Auburn is
the friendliest and "the spirit
here is unequalled." "I love it,"
he says.
Men students at Magnolia seem
to like -Martin too. One freshman
put it this way, "He's a regular
guy. He's not preaching to you
all the time, instead, he's a good
friend living a life you admire."

'Plainsman' Readers Talk Back
Mistake Pointed Out
Dear Editor:
Through a mistake on the part
of myself and the reporter who
wrote the article on King-For- a-
Day in the March 31 issue of The
Plainsman, full credit was not
given for the event.
King-For-a-Day this year was
presented jointly by The Auburn
Independent Organization and
Aquila, the new independent girl's
organization. A great deal of the
success of the event this year was
due to those girls' many efforts.
I would like to express the
AIO's appreciation to Aquila for
their help. Also, I would like to
express thanks to the rest of the
student b o d y for supporting
KFAD, and especially to the candidates
and their sponsors. And
last, to the merchants of Auburn
who donated the gifts for the

Auburn Alumnus Steals Political Show LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibter
We're disgusted. A better word may
be revolted. State election after state
election has seen API used as a whipping
boy by various candidates. For some reason
they are hell-bent on dragging this
fine institution through the mire. We can
figure out why when we look at the petty
finaglings some attempt to use to swing
votes their way.
But when an Auburn alumnus does the
same thing we can't help but wonder why.
We wonder if he is a pawn. Anyone who
knows as little about the inner workings of
Auburn as Travis Tidwell shouldn't be
used by a political figure to garner votes.
It is ridiculous. It is so assinine as to be
downright laughable.
We've heard of Travis Tidwell over
here on the Plains. We were around when
he swung his weight fearlessly on the gridiron.
He wasn't laughable. He was in his
own environment. We knew him to be a
man who was interested in many things—
politics definitely not being one of them.
Granted, each has the right to his own
political beliefs. But we question how a
man can find out so much about state politics
and the inner workings of API in a
short time—particularly if that man has
spent the greater part of his post graduate
years out of the state.
We cannot condorte the actions of Tidwell.
We cannot allow an Auburn graduate,
who supposedly loves the ole institution,
to follow a precedent established by
those who wish no good for the~ school
without a "by your leave." Certainly we
q u e s t i o n Tidwell's knowledge. Who
wouldn't if he is loyal to API? We further
refute the knowledge he professed on subjects
brought out in a recent TV appearance
with one of Alabama's leading gubernatorial
candidates.
Tidwell, referring to appointments to
the API Board of Trustees by James Fol-som
in 1947, said "there was a rising tide
of public indignation" over them. He likewise
professed a knowledge of what it
takes to make a good member of the Board
by stating that the body should be composed
of API alumni alone. His "sidekick,"
the gubernatorial candidate, made
the same statement.
While all of this was taking place, Tidwell
was a first-stage sophomore. He was
wrapped up in spring training. We doubt
seriously if he thought of anything else.
We've seen neophyte sophomores come
and go on campus. We've yet to see one
who has gained a great amount of knowledge
of the operations of this institution.
Tidwell must have been a rare exception.
He, likewise, must have been the possessor
of a keen insight into state politics.
Love for Auburn comes w i t h time.
Tidwell had his four years but somewhere
along the line he fell away. Pride in
one's alma mater comes with working in
its student government, working with its
administration and believing in the school
as a great institution dedicated to the
youth of Alabama. It does not come from
using it as a political football.
Auburn's past gridiron great was not
active in student government. He was not
closely associated with the administration,
other than the athletic department. We've
never heard of his worrying about anything
except the "big game" next week.
He's in another big game this time.
Where once he loomed magnificent, he
now appears ludicrous. He is as much out
of place on the political field as he was in
place on the football field. And we laugh.
Likewise, we pity.
Be it here known that when the question
of appointments arose in 1947, 1500
Auburn students descended on the state
capitol to urge senate confirmation of the
governor's choices.
Now we don't say there wasn't opposition.
Political mewings were abundant.
However7 the place to look for sure signs
of discontent is at home. Students believed
in the appointments. Their decision
was not based on politics. Theirs were un-baised
minds. Much more so than others
involved in decisions affecting the institution.
Our Board of Trustees has functioned
well in the past. Some have been alumni
of API—others haven't. We don't give the
"tinker's" well-known interjection where
a member of the board graduated so long
as he is interested in Auburn and works
for its betterment. Oftentimes it is beneficial
to have members who are not graduates.
A point that could be argued point-lessly,
we will admit.
We are not surprised at anything which
occurs in this gubernatorial campaign.
However, we are nauseated that an Auburn
graduate will allow himself to be
talked into dragging his school through all
the muck.
Perhaps Tidwell should have stuck
with throwing his weight around on the
gridiron rather than throwing "sludge."
Plainsman Seeks New Scholarship Funds
Much has been written about the Bruce
J. Greenhill Scholarship, which will go into
effect next fall; but words fail to carry the
significance of the memorial fund. The
worth of this scholarship, as well as the
principles and purpose for which it was set
up, are unparalleled as far as scholarship
funds go.
This scholarship, so far as the editor was
able to determine, is the first of its kind to
be established in the name of an API student
who gave his life serving in Korea.
As a friend, Bruce was quick to defend.
As a champion of any cause, he was equally
steadfast. In his heart, he carried a love
for Auburn that few have possessed.
Friends of Bruce J. Greenhill provided
the initial movement to establish the fund
approximately two years ago. They solicited
contributions from alumni and
other interested persons. The campus was
untouched and has remained so. Blue Key
honorary service fraternity undertook the
job of seeing that the scholarship would be
tangible. They have succeeded.
However, the original idea was for the
scholarship, which was established for
English-Journalism or journalism majors,
to be a perpetual thing. It was hoped that
interest drawn on the principal sum would
pay for the amount of the gift. At present,
there is enough money to keep the scholarship
going for about 12 years.
Plans have been formulated by Blue
Key to sponsor a campus event for the purpose
of adding to the fund. Students will
be asked to contribute to the memory of
one of their former classmates. Alumni
will be contacted and organizations will be
approached in the hopes that they will see
the worth of the scholarship. The Plainsman
has been granted the right tor solicit
funds through editorials. This it is proud
to do, for Greenhill was a former editor
and friend. The newspaper believes that
such a leader who was loved, admired and
respected by many deserves this final tribute.
We do this because we believe, just as
a contributor to the fund believed when he
wrote: "I did not know Bruce Greenhill,
but I know his widow and daughter; It is
not these who will profit from a memorial.
They will remember. It is to us who
serve, as he also served, and give, as he
gave, unselfishly and with forethought,
who will reap the rewards from preparing
a memorial."
We urge members of the. faculty and
the administration to back this drive. The
Plainsman will be glad to handle all contributions
v i a mail. Checks should be
made out to the Bruce J. Greenhill Scholarship
Fund and addressed to P.O. Box
832.

Tales From Teem
The Habit's Got Teem
By Bill Teem
By Herb White
Interest in the recent elections
has shown everyone that there can
be a healthy political situation on
the Auburn campus. The All
Campus Party and the War Eagle
Party combined efforts to bring
out 3,000 students to vote. This
was second in total percentage
only to the elections in 1951, when
over 54 per cent of the student
body cast ballots. Percentage turnout,
this year was about 53.
This column was truly amazed at
the turnout at the political rally
on April 7. Heretofore only a
handful of students bothered to
attend the meeting, but this year
the Union Ballroom was nearly
full. One townsman was heard to
exclaim that, "This rally reminds
me of the Democratic National
Convention." Demonstrations for
the various candidates held up the
meeting for nearly 30 minutes.
Banners were everywhere.
The War Eagle Party won two
positions, both of them being top
places. This, we believe, to be a
very strong beginning for the newly
reorganized group.
Word has come to us that many
of the WEPP candidates are disheartened
because they feel as
though they should have won more
positions. We can't understand
this, because winning the vice
presidency and a senior senator is
certainly more than just a toe-hold
in student government.
This writer would like to take
the .remainder of this space to
write in appreciation of the vote
given him in the recent elections.
To be elected to any student position
is a signal honor, but to be
chosen above two other fine candidates
for such a job as editor of
The Plainsman is the greatest
honor a person can receive.
The editor and his staff, as he
takes over in the summer, will
strive to put out a paper in keeping
with the fine efforts of former
editors. If, and when, these high
standards have been attained, we
will then do all that we can to
improve and instigate new ideas
into the paper.
We promise never to lose sight
of the objective of The Plainsman;
that of serving the student body in
any way possible.
In the past, it has been The
Plainsman's policy to express
opinions on any matter, no matter
how controversial, in which we
thought the student welfare was
involved. Since we don't believe
that a newspaper editor should be
considered an entrant in a popularity
contest, we're not worried
over the explosive effect some of
our comments may have upon
people who disagree with us. Such
an attitude will prevail next year.

Pardon My Nausea
By Red Provost
I guess they know what they're
doing, but sometimes I wonder
why the cigarette people spend so
much money advertising. They
don't have to put Ray Anthony on
the radio and Betty Grable on the
billboards to sell me. They've got
me—lungs, throat and nasal passages.
I burn somewhere around forty
cigarettes a day—and that ain't
hay, although they begin to taste
like it around midnight when I've
devoured the pack in my pocket, I
bum them from my friends, steal
them from my roommate, and if
I weren't afraid that someone
might step on my fingers, I'd
sometimes be tempted to even
more desperate measures.
The first thing I do in the morning
is light up and make like a
dragon. I don't care what the
brand is as long as I can set fire
to it and gulp it down.
Mark Twain once said, "To stop
smoking is the easiest thing in
the world. I've done it hundreds
of times." Him and me both.
Last month I stopped smoking
for four whole days. On the first
day I cussed out my English professor
and flunked three quizzes.
The second day I got into a
fight with my roommate because
he changed the blotter-on my desk.
The third day a cop suggested,,!
move my car from a yellow line.
I made a little speech about a
Police State and it cost me two
hours in court and a $25 fine.
The fourth day I was ready to
pack up and walk out on myself.
A disturbing thing had happened
—my mind had become clear as a
bell. I found myself remembering
friend's names and lectures my
professors had given in class. My
brain was no longer cloudy with
mists of cigarette smoke. I was
getting panicky. Finally I could
stand it no longer. Like a madman
I rushed out and bought the
first pack of weeds I saw. With
a sigh of relief I lit up—and although
my fag was so strong I
had to knock the ashes off with a
sledge hammer — I swore off
swearing off forever.
Now, I don't know if doctors
say cigarettes are habit-forming
or not; but I do know that I've
got the habit.
-May I quote: iteiriBcri
Tobacco is a filthy weed-1- ,,t.,r.,,.,
I like it.
It satisfies no normal need—
I like it.
It makes you thin, it makes you
lean,
It takes your hair right off your
bean;
It's the worst darned stuff I've
ever seen.
I like it.
Auburn is doing an excellent
job of turning out men and women
(chronological age over 21) with
the type training which the state of
Alabama evidently believes is all
that is necessary—that is, competence
in a certain field of endeavor.
But most of the training toward
an intellectually mature mind is
gotten either by accident or not
at all at Auburn and at trie average
American college.
It has never been the tradition
in America to have colleges set
off as centers of independent
though. Most of them were originally
intended as indoctrination
centers for religious groups, or
as a sort of glorified trade school
for the state. Conformity to the
common state of mind has always
been the watchword, and this conformity
has been defended on the
grounds that we must have unity
in the U. S. to survive.
- The U. S., with Alabama and
the rest of the South in the vanguard,
is stagnating in its desire
for conformity. Regard for the individual,
the main principle upon
which the country was founded,
is rapidly being forgotten as the
fear oi alien ideas spawns Mc-
Carthyism, Act 888, and other
abortions.
We are reaching a high degree of
perfection in scientific fields —
such a high degree that we are
now quite capable of destroying
the entire human race with the
cobalt bomb. If we are to avoid
this end, we must give direction
to our efforts, and "depart from
the tradition of turning out intellectual
adolescent college graduates.
We have a long, long way to
go here at Auburn. When students
come here, they are not in
the habit of thinking. They are
used to the atmosphere of conformity
at home, and they find
nothing different here. They plod
their way through four years of
other people's stale ideas, and
when they graduate, they do so
without having challenged, usually,
a single cherished belief.
The logical first step toward
remedying this nauseating situation
would be to develop a permanent
and sufficient curriculum
in philosophy. Nobody seems to
be too enthusiastic over the idea.
They evidently prefer courses in
Personal Grooming, etc.
Reveille, dammit, reveille!

What Is The Purpose Of A Column? J
By JoAnne Lucci
Waste Basket
Streets, Or Obstacle Course
By Ronald Owen
Wonder when Buildings and
Grounds are going to get around
to some of the more pertinent repairing
on the campus. I'm hot
saying that the streets are in bad
shape, but they appear to the local
drivers as an obstacle course instead
of a smooth bi-way.
One place in particular I can
think of is at the intersection below
Thach Auditorium. Cars, at
least the latest model I have
heard of, are equipped with everything
but a jumping mechanism.
I have seen many drivers pull up
to that ditch, slide their wheels
and pull up on the steering wheel,
but the darn thing just would
jump it.
Then there's a place right atop
Vet Hill that causes many drivers
to have a slight heart failure
when they hit it. The least that
could be done is to put up a railroad
crossing sign so people would
have time to slow down -before
they run into it. They would never
know that there wasn't a railroad
there either, for it's plenty rough
enough to pass for one.
Right on the main part of the
campus, Thach Ave. is still in pretty
bad shape. I would like to say
that this is the only place in the
world (probably) where they have
speed breakers between all the
intersections. If you attempt to
miss the holes, you're apt to run
into another going the opposite
direction, trying the same thing.
There's been some question of
which would cause the most damage,
hitting the holes or smacking
another car. »
I imagine there are some more
streets of the same nature, but
these are the only ones I come in
contact with regularly. They serve
a purpose, I'll admit. We have
vejy few wrecks on the campus,
only because students, being wise
as they are, are always leery of
the streets. You never can tell
where a new and even bigger hole
v/ill appear.
In an effort to keep from going
out on a limb, I will refrain from
saying that this work needs to be
done right away. But I will say
that if it isn't undertaken soon,
students who walk to class will
have to use the street, and leave
the sidewalks open to cars. I
mean, after all, if the cars are
expected to jump, you might as
well give them something worth
while to jump.
If there's any reason why the
streets cannot be made passable
again I have another idea for consideration.
Flood the streets and
let students use canoes. Venice
has found that to be very economical,
and I know if they can do it
Buildings and Grounds can, too.
There is reason to suspect that
the purposes of newspaper editorial
columns are not fully understood
on this campus, since many
people seem to think that a column
should be strictly objective
in its viewpoint.
Such is not necessarily the case,
however, as the column is the outlet
for the columnist's opinion,
philosophy and thoughts, just as
the letters-to-the-editor space is
an outlet for the, ideas of the
readers.
r>.i+ ,** -^i +v,o pages in a news-
" paper, the reporter
is permitted
to express
his per-s
o n a 1 feelings
on the editorial
page.alone. This
is as it should
be, for it is considered
p o o r'
journalism t o
write subjec-
Lucci tively in a news
story, but it is
perfectly ethical to write subjectively
in an editorial or column.
In other words, a good news
story contains the straight facts
while a column may give the
writer's opinion or evaluation of
the facts. Some of the long-accepted
and perfectly reputable
purposes of a column are to interpret
the news, to entertain the
readers, to influence public opinion,
and to reflect public opinion.
The columnist may, therefore, attempt
to do any or all of these
things and still be well within his
professional rights.
Consequently, t h e columnist
does not have to be impartial. On
the contrary, he may show as
much or as little partiality as he
likes—as long as he limits it to
his column, bearing his by-line,
and keeps it out of the news stories.
Proof of this can be found on
the editorial page of any daily
newspaper—there the reader will
find the personal viewpoints of the
editors and columnists clearly presented
as such.
Similiarly, this column, for example,
presents material in an admittedly
subjective manner — for
if the personal opinion were
omitted, it would no longer be an
editorial page column, but a news
story instead.
Objectivity, then, is not the aim
or the duty of a columnist, but of
the news reporter. »The columnist
—while he might try to be fair—
does not have to limit himself to
the cold facts, but may sound off
with his own opinion.

Congratulations are in order for
the newly elected WSGA officers.
Irene Donovan, Jacque Waller,
Marilyn Brown, Maxie Reaves,
and Mary Jo Hubbard will serve
on the council next year. Results
of the re-election for town representative
were not known at
column deadline, but the candidates
for that post were Tuffy
Norton and Linda McCree.
Now that the elections are over,
partisan politics should also be
over and all women students
should co-operate with the new

Alright you cool cats, get your
shades and suedes on because
we've got a few ditties to enlighten
you with. Since all the Auburn
chicks and guys are dark green
(or real George or real gone to the
'peons') we just had to relate some
of their latest accomplishments.
These few are the ultimate! The
most to say the least!
One of our skirts (tight ones,
that is) seemed to be having a
little trouble grasping the subject
matter in one of her "crip" courses
last quarter. Seems like she had
the habit of flunking every quiz
her prof gave her class. In fact,
she "busted" three straight ones.
In desperation, she "slinked"
up to "le professeur" (that's
French) one day two weeks before
the end of the quarter and innocently
exclaimed, "I was just
wondering if I still have a chance
to make a "B" in this course!"
* * *
Then there was the one about
the cool cat that had to buy a tux
for his formal. He went downtown
to one of the local men's haberdasheries
and was fitted for a
dinner jacket and pair of black
formal trousers. The man who
waited on him said that he could
pick up his new black and whites
Saturday morning; and, incidentally,
his formal was to be held
Saturday night.
Saturday morning came! He
went down to pick up his new
outfit. Somehow the clerk had
misplaced his order and his tux
wasn't ready. He was refitted, and
was promised an outfit for sure by
5:30 that evening. He went back
at the designated time and picked
up his formal costume.
That night when he was dressing
for the "big date" he found that
the sleeves of his new coat were
too short and his trousers were too
long in length. In desperation he
rushed to his housemother's room.
She promptly relieved the situation
by shortening and lengthening
trousers and dinner jacket.
He was determined not to let
this series of events bother him,
and went on to the dance. He had
a great date, the dance was "out
of this world," and everything
went smooth as clockwork until
the breakfast.
At the breakfast someone walked
up to him in front of everyone
and said, "Do you i always wear
your dinner jackets With the price
tag still on them?"
Innocence was in all. its glory
last quarter when one of our
queens graced a certain history
class. It seemed that just as the
class began everyday, our queen
had the unusual habit of dropping
her pencil. Naturally half the
male population of the class always
came to her rescue.
When time came for a pop quiz
or an exam "Miss Personality"
never had any paper and had to
borrow some from "one of the
boys." When the professor called
upon her to read from the assigned
text, she had always left her's at
the dorm.
All this didn't set too well with
our history teacher, and one day
he decided it had to stop.
While he was calling the roll he
suddenly stopped and said, "Miss
M , have you dropped your
pencil yet?"
Quite flabergasted, she said,
"Why, no sir."
"Well then drop the d thing
so we can get our class started,"
he shouted.
After she had dropped her pencil
as instructed, he stormed on
aga»S5, "Well> d o v o u have your
text?"

Five Months Traveling in Europe
Reveals Interesting Sights To Coed
By Howard Skelton
Many people are guilty of having that faraway, wistful
look on their faces in the spring, but one Auburn coed has an
explanation for the wistful look she has b e e n displaying
lately. She's Jo Ann Reeve, a sophomore in art education,
who has been recalling fond memories of the vacation she
spent last spring and summer in
Europe. %
Jo Ann went to Munich, Germany,
last April to spend five
months with her sister and brother-
in-law. Her brother-in-law was
a lieutenant in the Army stationed
there. She flew from New York
to Amsterdam, Holland, and from
Amsterdam to Munich.
World Famous Sights
While in Amsterdam, she had
the opportunity to see the world-famous
Tulip Festival. "The
flowers were out of this world and
I've never seen so many breathtaking
colors in all my life," our
small-scale world traveler exclaimed.
After Jo Ann had spent a few
days with her sister and brother-in-
law, the three of them took a
tour which carried them to many
intriguing parts of Europe.
Their tour carried them first to
Lindau, Germany; from there they
went to Altdorff, Switzerland,
which is the home of William Tell.
Next, they went to Zurick, Switzerland,
and then on to Milan,
Italy.
Political Rallies
Jo Ann recalls that in Milan,
she witnessed many political rallies,
as she was there right in the
middle of the national elections.
She said that the Communists had
many rallies and spent fabulous
amounts of money trying to get
the people to vote Communist.
She recalls the most interesting
sights witnessed in Milan were
the original 'Last Supper' by
Leonardo de Vinci and the ca-.
thedral there, which is the third
EVERYBODY loves a parade! From the huge crowd which lined
the streets of Auburn, the Saturday parade during the "Fair" was
a popular event. Phi Kappa Tau won first place in Greek floats
while the Horticulture Club won over the organizations.
largest in the world.
From Milan they traveled to
Venice, the city of canals and gondolas.
Beautiful Treasures
Next, the three of them ventured
to Florence, which was one
of Jo Ann's favorite cities of the
whole trip.

Paris Favorite
In Rome, Jo Ann visited the
museum, cathedral and saw the
catacombs. From Rome they went
on to Pisa with its Leaning Tower.
From Pisa they went to the Italian
Rivieria and then on to Paris.
"I had heard of Paris all my
life and it certainly lived up to all
my expectations. We visited the
Notre Dame Cathedral, Palace of
Versailles, which is one of the ten
wonders of the world, the Opera
House, sidewalk cafes, art displays
and catacombs.

After Paris, Jo Ann toured
Germany, visiting Darnish, the
playground of Germany, the twin
cities of Dinklesbud and Roten-burg,
and visited castles along the
Rhine.
"Also, two of my most enjoyable
experiences were going
through the Alps and attending
the Sadler Wells Ballet in Munich,"
Jo Ann remembered.
Jo Ann agrees that her trip was
quite an experience. "It's something
I'll always treasure and remember
as long as I live," she
sighed.

Susce Wins Fifth Straight Game;
Plainsmen Lose In Second Contest
By Bill Hutto
Auburn's red-hot diamond combine divided a twin-bill
with the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech in Atlanta Friday
and Saturday by scores of 5-2 and 6-4, the second contest going
to the Jackets. S
The Plainsman's brilliant righthander, Paul Susce overcame
the chilly Gate City weather
and the Techmen in the initial
fracus. He allowed the Georgians
but five safeties while setting 10
batters down via the strikeout
route.
Eleventh Straigth
The win was Auburn's eleventh
straight and their fourth in conference
play.
Susce missed a shutout in the
seventh frame when Tech chased
across a pair of markers with the
aid of an error, a passed ball, and
a single by Johnny Menger. One
of the runs was unearned.
The fastballing sophomore was
given single runs in each of the
first three stanzas, and a pair of
clinchers in the fourth by the Tiger
willow swingers. It was
Susce's fifth straight triumph.
Auburn's hitting attack was led
by leftfielder Byrd Whigham, who
had two for three for the afternoon;
centerfielder Doug Dickey,
who likewise harrassed oppossing
pitchers for two safeties, and in-itial-
sacker Bob Nagel, also with
a two-hit afternoon.
McClendon Starts
£n the second contest, Ozark's
Tom McClendon started for the
Plainsmen, but was unable to retire
a single Jacket batter in the
first frame.
The Techmen scored all of their
six markers in the initial stanza,
four of them coming as a result
of leftfielder L a r r y Morris'
grandslam homer.
Herbie Pierce then came to
mound for the Tigers and retired

SPORTS
By Hamp Royston, Sports Editor
This past weekend, with all the fanfare of Village Fair
buzzing around the campus, probably many students realized
that something was missing from the otherwise well-rounded
program "of entertainment provided for the visitors.
What was missing was, of course, some type of athletic
contest. The writer can think of no better way to publicize Auburn
to students than by showing them some of our currently successful
athletes. Let me say now that there was an attempt to
switch last weekend's baseball series with Tech in Atlanta to Auburn
for Village Fair. But the request was made too late. It seems
to me that a baseball game should have been scheduled for Village
Fair when the original schedule was made up. Very few jhings are
more important to a person selecting his college than knowing what
kind of athletic teams his college will have. (If you disagree, why
do you think that so much money is spent in. trying to oroduce a
winning football team?) And that won 12—lost 1 Plainsman baseball
team would have provided some mighty good Plainsman sales
talk!
—Long Time No See
While we're talking about the absence of sports, let's take a look
at the local schedule for the past few days, and for the immediate
future. Last week, there was not a single major athletic contest
of any type on the Auburn campus. The baseball team played its
last game here on April 3. The next appearance of the baseballers
will be on the 30th. That's quite a gap, and, of course, Village
Fair hit right in the middle of it.
The future holds little promise of improvement. Tomorrow,
Mississippi State brings its tennis team to the Plains. Then on
next Monday, Florida's golfers will visit us, and on the following
day, Tech's golfers also will come down. Seems as if the track
team just got lost in the rush, as far as concerns home appearances.
The writer is aware that sports schedules are a real headache in
being set up. There are probably some good reasons for some
of the gaps in home appearances. But it seems to me that with a
little more thought in planning, the gaps could certainly be cut down.
—More Courts Needed
While we're in the general mood of complaint, we rnight as
well look at what else is needed on the campus in the sporting
way. This spring, the young man's (and woman's) fancy has turned
to tennis in a big way. Every afternoon the courts in front of
Thach are full by three o'clock. Those students attending "night
school" never have a dog's chance to get a court. And in a few
days, the intramural tennis season gets underway, and will require
the reservation of some of the courts.
Granted, it> kinda hard to see why that great expanse of courts
isn't enough, but look around any afternoon and you'll see that
they aren't. The only answer is more courts—and as soon as possible.
—King Dillion Being Threatened
A freshman up at Georgia Tech is threatening our own Jim
Dillion's supremacy in SEC shot put and discus competition. Carl
Vereen won the shot put in both the Florida and Southern Relays
with heaves of 51 feet plus. But Dillion beat Vereen by 12 to 15
feet in both meets in the discus throw.

23 Tiger Lettermen
Elect Jimmy Long,
Jack Locklear Capt.
Elected to captain the 1954
version of Shug Jordan's X
and Y football teams are Jim
Long, stellar end from Hart-sell,
and Jack Locklear, rugged
center veteran from Ft. Payne.
Long was chosen by the 23 Tiger
lettermen as team captain, while
Locklear was picked as alternate.
Both the X and Y teams will have
equal representation as Long is
a X team end and Locklear anchors
the Y line at center.
Another Captain ,
Jim Long is the son of Howell
J. "Shorty" Long, who -captained
the 1929 Tiger team. The father-son
combination is unique in Auburn
gridiron history. A graduate
from Baylor Prep in Chattanooga,
Long was chosen on the all-time
Baylor team. He was also
named to the All-SEC Freshman
team in 1951. Jim is an outstanding
student in mechanical engineering
and has played three
the next 17 Tech batters in order,
until pitcher Bob Patton touched
him for a single in the eighth.
The Tigers notched a pair of
runs in the first inning and one
in the fourth and fifth to wind
up their scoring for the afternoon.
Hard-hitting Jim Pyburn's
homer with a mate aboard in the
first was Auburn's gem at the
plate during the contest.
PLAINSMAN FOOTBALLERS recently elected Jimmy Long,
Hartselle, and Jack Locklear, Ft. Payne, captain and alternate-captain
for the 1954 grid season. Both are seniors and are counted on
heavily for Coach Shug Jordan's second version of X and Y.

Creel captured the 100 and 220-
yard dashes against Alabama last
year and continued throughout
the season undefeated in both of
these sprints. Besides the sprints,
which are his specialities, Creel
also runs one of the legs of the
440-yard and the m i l e relay
teams.
Second Championship
During the season, he added to
his dual meet victories a number
of other triumphs. These victories
included the 100-yard dash in
the Florida Relays, the Georgia

Attention Scorekeepers
Before we look at the results of
last week's Softball scuffling,
here's a quick memorandum to the
people that do the recording on the
scoresheets during the games: It
would make them easier for us
to read and easier for you to keep
if you all use the following score-keeping
symbols; Strikeouts-K;
Singles-H; Doubles-2H; Triples-
3H; Homeruns-HR; Walks-W; Hit
by pitched ball-HPB; and E for
error.
Last week on the diamond the
boys really unlimbered the big
bats.
Division E cashed in homeruns
by Hofer, Smith and Piazzo to
down Div. A, 15-4. Piazzo also
struck out 8 batters.
— Division F's -battle with -Div. ,0
turned, .out to be a coming oUt:
party-for the Parker boys. Ted
and Tom Parker each rapped out
a homerun, a triple, and a single.
Fridley and Moncrief also got
three hits for Div. F.
Fickling, a senior from Macon,
Ga., ran the high hurdles in 14.7
seconds at the Georgia AAU meet,
for his best last season. Mickey
Brown, a junior from Gadsden,
has cleared the bar at 13 feet.
Senior Jim Dillion, from Upper
Sandusky, Ohio, missed last season
with a knee injury, but went
to the Olympics in 1952 and placed
third in the discus throw.
Hurling the disc through the air
172'-9.36" won the big man the
third place. Dillion also throws
the shot, his best throw being the
Auburn record of 52'-101/2". He
also holds the discus record with
a throw of 175'-3%".
Under Hutsell
The cindermen, under the able
coaching of the 1954 track coach
Wilbur Hutsell, came in second
behind Florida in the SEC last
year.
On March 27, the thinclads
came in second behind Florida in
the Florida Relays. Birmingham
was the place for the Southern
Relays, April 3, where the Tigers
placed third behind Purdue and
Loyola.
Only two home meets have
been scheduled this spring, one
with Florida here April 24, at
1:30, and the State High School
meet May 7-8. On May 1, the
Plainsmen run against the Geor- j
gia Tech Yellow Jackets in At- I
lanta, Ga. The SEC meet will be
held May 14-15, and the Georgia
AAU meet is to be run on May 22.
Middleton Wins
In the Florida Relays newcomer
Dave Middleton, a junior from
Birmingham, won the 100-yard
dash in ten seconds flat. Mickey
Brown won the pole vaulting
event by clearing the bar at 13
feet. Dillion hurled the discus 173'
Ya".' Sonny Alsup came in third
in the pole vault with a vault %i
12 feet 6 inches.
Ewart Atkins placed second in
the two-mile run, and Duke
Brown fourth in the low hurdles
in the SEC last spring.
Other promising men on Coach
Hutsell's squad are Rudy Boyd,

Whigham
Little Byrd Whigam
Surprises Everyone
With Sports Rise
By Carmer Robinson
One of the more outstanding
sagas, of the Auburn sports
world is the story book tale of
the rapid rise of diminutive
a t h l e t e , Robert Byrd Whigham.
The stellar little performer
from Louisville first broke into
the sporting news during basketball
season as he^successfully forged
from the "B" team onto the
varsity squad. Coach Joel Eaves
capitalized on Whigham's deft
ball handling and defense alertness.
Cut From Squad
Native Talent
Auburn's 1954 track squad is
dominated by Alabama boys. Of
the 27, onljr 6 are from out-of-state.
They are Rudy Boyd, Columbus,
Ga.; Jim Dillion, Upper
Sandusky, Ohio; Bill Fickling,
Macon, Ga.; Tom Merritt, Amer-icus,
Ga.; Dave Powell, St. Petersburg,
Fla., and Bill Yarbrough,
Decatur, Ga.
Two Hold Records
Jim Dillion and Jackie Creel
are the only all-time school record
holders on the 1954 Auburn
track team. Dillion has the discus
record of 175-3%, set in the
1952 NAAU, and the shot put record
of 52-10V2 feet set against
Alabama in 1952. Creel is in a
three-way tie with Sterling Du-pree,
SEC in 1934,-and Jimmy
Walker, SEAAU in 1948, for the
100-yard dash in 9.7 seconds.
Creel tied this in the 1953 Florida
Relays.
E T E R N A L M Y S T E RY
"The Great Man lectured before an audience of psychiatrists.
His talk was more puzzled than didactic.
What, he asked, impelled man to continue everlastingly with
the problems of life, when the cards were stacked against him?
H got up in the morning, went to work, engaged in the numerous
conflicts that make up daily living—but all the while he knew
he could not win. He must die. In the face of the inevitable fate,
what made him continue the struggle?
No one had an answer.
I doubt anyone will ever have an answer.
At this point the thoughtful man must be grateful that there
is a religion in the world. Perhaps only faith gives sense to what
appears to be a senseless struggle. Perhaps man is endowed with
a spiritual instinct that eternally gropes onward and upward,
proving that he is no mere by-product by an accidental chemical
reaction. Possibly this is the main difference that distinguishes
him from the lower animals." *
Be it Faith, Ambition, or stubborn determination, it is
no MYSTERY that the "Watch Words" at Burton's are: SERVICE,
QUALITY, MERIT and INTEGRITY, and we take
pleasure in helping you realize the ultimate from life.

Vets Lose 13-5
The success of the Mobile Bop-pers
can be laid to their heavy
hitters. In downing the Vets, 13-5,
Hartman got three hits and Story
and Duke had two hits apiece.
Chambless and Story led the way
as the Boppers manhandled the
Shots, 22-0. Chambless had three
base bnocks and Story socked a'
homer. *
Davis and Julian hit safely three
times, and Guthrie homered for
the Devils as they downed the
Veterans, 11-5. Clayton hit a
four-bagger for the losers.
In fraternity warfare last week,
14 homeruns were smashed out in
7 games.
PDT Licks SPE
PDT led the parade with four
by Mitchell, Jones, Stroud, and
Kennington, as they outscored
SPE 24-14. Seales homered for the
Sig Eps and Denny got four hits
in four attempts.
Whitlock homered for the KA's,
but Sigma Nu won 12-10. Pyle of
Theta Chi and Terpening of Delta
Chi each homered as TC beat DC
10-6.
Darby blasted two homeruns
and two doubles, and C'authen got
a fourmaster in the ATO's massacre
of SP.
Home led AGR oyer PKT with
a homerun, a double and a single
—the score, 16-11.
Williams and Willard each rapped
out three hits for Sigma Chi
as PKP fell 15-3. Barton homered
in the losing cause.
The Whigham story had its origin
back in the early spring of
1952. The scrappy little lad reported
for freshman baseball
practice but did not make the
grade, and was c u t from the
squad. But Whigham's spirits
were not dampened by his initial
failure. With renewed determination
the petite fireballer reported
for basketball practice and by the
middle of the season he had shown
enough improvement to be promoted
to the varsity.
Whigham decided to give baseball
another college try at the
beginning of the present season,
and during the Florida game he
was given a starting assignment as
left fielder. By banging two hits
in two trips he was awarded a
permanent starting berth: Whigham
is currently sporting the
second best batting average on
the Tiger squad with a highly
commendable .392, which is second
only to team leader Jim Py-burn's
.469.

Whigham's athletic achievements
began at Louisville High
School, where he played 2 years
football, 3 years basketball, and

The article referred to purported
that state schools are
taking the signing of home talent
for granted; that boys in the
small towns were being over-loked.
We are in sympathy with the
Times' Douglas Barbour and
wish there were ample room to
print the entire article. However,
here are excerpts . . .
"Are our state schools so loaded
with talent that they (athletes
from small schools) are not
needed?"
" . . . Is it possible that our
state schools are taking the
signing of home talent for
granted? That is indicated to a
degree, for each year there is a
grand rush to sign the all-state
players, while the boys who
labor at the cross roads and
have no daily paper to publish '
their deeds of daring do languish
at home, until one day a
stranger drives up and asks for
directions. When these boys
make the mistake of pointing
with the plow instead of their
hand t h e y are immediately
signed, sealed, and delivered out
of state . . .

and Alabama divide the state
into a number of districts and
put their old grads to work?

She coyly answered, "Yes sir, I
have all my equipment with me
