Plainsman To Publish Memorial
Edition In Memory Of Former Editor
An urchin will be handing
out next week's issue of The
Plainsman.
Students will see members
of Blue Key, ODK and Squires
dressed as newsboys when the
publication hits the campus for its
final appearance of the quarter.
There will be another unusual fea­ture
of the newspaper. It will be
a memorial edition in the name of
a former editor of The Plainsman
who was killed in Korea and
whose name is hoped to be per­petuated
through a scholarship
established by friends.
It is all a part of a joint ODK-Blue
Key drive to increase the
•fund of the Blue Key-sponsored
Bruce J. Greenhill scholarship
which will go into effect for the
first time in the fall quarter.
Editor of The Plainsman, Walter
Everidge, stated that the newsboys
will be on hand to ask students
who pick up a copy of the paper
to contribute to the fund. He made
clear that students have already
paid for the Plainsman through
their student activity fee and
therefore are eligible to receive
the paper even though they do not
contribute.
Blue Key President Strict
Newsom asks for the coopera­tion
of the student body in help­ing
the organization in another
of its projects. He stated that
the scholarship Is the first to be
established in the name of a
former member of the Auburn
student body.
Greenhill graduated from API
in 1951 and entered the U. S. Ma­rine
Corps. He was killed in Ko­rea
in 1952. While a student at
Auburn, he was editor of The
Plainsman, a member of Blue Key,
Spades, Squires and Steerage.
From Birmingham, he was a grad­uate
of Ensley High School.
Newsom said, "when you give to
the scholarship, you are giving to
Auburn. No matter how much you
contribute it wil laid us in our
drive to make the scholarship a
perpetual part of Auburn."
The scholarship was set up by
Blue Key after a prolonged
drive to attain initial funds* to
make the award attractive to
students. It is eligible to students
who' are majors in English-
Journalism and offers a payment
or tuition and fees to the recipi­ent
for three quarters of the
academic year.

Architect Trouble7 Receives
State-Wide News Publicity
By Walter Everidge
Editor
"Apparent t r o u b l e " in API's
School of Architecture and
t h e A r t s became state-wide
knowledge over the weekend
as the result of an article ap­pearing
in one leading Ala­bama
daily newspaper.
Reaction to the article here was
varied, but in general it stimulated
much interest and speculation
among faculty and students.
Upon being questioned both API
President Ralph B. Draughon and
Architecture Dean Frank M. Orr
agreed that discontent did exist.
Both felt, however, that the article
was badly confused in spots.
Dwelling at length upon the
system of tenure as it applies to
Auburn, the column ended by
stating "apparently professors at
Auburn do not enjoy the benefit
of that law (tenure law on the
statute books of Alabama). In each
contract the professor is required
to waive his right of tenure."
As explained by Dr. Draughon,
Auburn follows the identical
practice of terminating employ­ment
as used by other institu­tions
of higher learning in the
nation.
Dean Orr said, "The term ten­ure,
while literally meaning the
as it appeared in the newspaper j right to hold, should not, when
'LOVELIEST OF THE PLAINS'
QUITE WRAPPED up in the new Glomerata is this week's
"Loveliest," Charlotte Kennedy, a freshman in secretarial training
from Birmingham. It's subjects like this that take our attention from
the yearbook, but it's a worthwhile diversion.

used in connection with appoint­ment
or employment, carry the
meaning of 'the right to hold in
perpetuity regardless of coniitions
and circumstances.' "
Expressing concern over the
problem, he stated that the ad­ministration
was making every
effort to determine the real cause
of the trouble.
He said, "full consideration has
been given to the rights, and the
feelings, of each and every staff
member as well as the rights of
the students and the good of the
institution.
" I t is my belief that con­siderable
progress has been re­alized,
and very definite an­nouncements
will be forthcom­ing
at an early date."
Asked about the present rating
of API's School of Architecture,
Dean Orr replied, "A committee
composed of representatives of the
j American Institute of Architects,
the National Council of Archi­tectural
Registration Boards, and
t h e Association of Collegiate
Schools of Architecture visited the
campus in April.
"This group composes the Na­tional
Architectural Accrediting
Board which either does or does
not accredit Schools of Architec­ture.
We have not received a se-port
of this visitation, and until
we receive information to the con­trary
we can but assume that we
are fully accredited by the NAAB
as we have been since 1946." j
The news article pointed out that
students in the school were great­ly
disturbed over conditions. Ask­ed
if he thought student gripes
were valid, the dean answered,
"the complaints which have been,
brought to my attention are un­doubtedly
real to the students
themselves and therefore must be
considered as having some validi­ty.
I regret that I cannot answer
in regard to any complaint of
which I have not heard."
He pointed out that the com­bined
staffs of the Departments
of Architecture and Art voted at
the beginning of this week to
permit late work in the draft­ing
rooms for the remainder of
the academic quarter. The ac­tion
was taken in response to a
written petition from the stu­dents.
Previously the Archi­tecture
building had been closed
around 11 o'clock each night.
President Draughon and the
dean both stated that they had no
knowledge of a reported conversa­tion
between Dr. Draughon and
Mr. Clyde Pearson, a widely
known Montgomery Architect and
Auburn alumni president, to the
effect that API would be placed
on probation if the school was not
adequately staffed by June 14.
Dean Orr stated, "we are in
active negotiation with a num­ber
of well qualified persons
who have expressed an interest
in teaching with ur.. Some of
these men could have been ob­tained
last year it rur vacancies
had existed then. Definite an­nouncements
will be made at an
early date."
Both the president of the college
and dean Orr refused to comment
specifically on the news article.
Both agreed, however, that con­ditions
are improving and will
continue to improve. They stated
that API will continue to have a
"good schoo olf Architecture" and
will retain its current high rating.

A Message from Clarence Andrews, 'Your Pharmacist'
I
PHARMACY is a very exact profession. We phar­macists
must have very high standards. When com­pounding
and dispensing medicines we strive for abso­lute
perfection.
NO MARGIN of error can be allowed, because every
time we compound a prescription your health and life
are in our care. Every medicine must be perfect. Any­thing
else is unthinkable.
EVERY PRESCRIPTION is checked and double
checked for accuracy. All ingredients are naturally
the best obtainable, because we price prescriptions by
adding to the cost of ingredients the charge for time
requited to compound, plus the necessary moderate
profit needed to operate a pharmacy.
IT IS A TRIBUTE to pharmacy that despite the
fact that all operating expenses have advanced, in­cluding
all salaries, the average nation-wide price of
prescriptions is about $2.35 each. This incidentally is
just about our average also.
WE WILL ALWAYS do our part to keep that aver­age
price as low as good pharmaceutical practices will
permit. And in strict observance of t h e Ethics of
Pharmacy we will continue to strive for absolute per­fection
in the compounding of your prescriptions.

Let's Face Non-Segregation Calmly
Now is the time for students at Auburn
to sit back and contemplate with much ser­iousness
the Supreme Court's ruling which
declared segregation in public schools un­constitutional.
The expected has happen­ed
with lightning-like suddness.
Our campus is agog with the news.
Some have expressed opinions rather voci­ferously.
Others have accepted it at face
value. Throughout the state and the
Southland the same reactions are occur­ring.
Auburnites should realize that the time
has arrived when each must take it upon
himself to be calm and collected. The stu­dent
should be aware that it is of utmost
importance to carry on as before.
How Auburn will be affected by the
ruling is uncertain. Many educators feel
that it will be some length of time before
API is faced with the issue. As the ruling
now stands, there is no method by which
it can be enforced. The high court delayed
implementation on the ruling until Octo­ber,
thus giving Alabama, as some put it,
"a breathing spell."
There is much work to be done before
concrete decisions by state educators can
be made. No one really knows how the
educational system of Alabama will be af­fected
by the ruling, but it is apparent that
many persons are worried.
Segregation will continue in Alabama
for some time. Reform will be a gradual
process, not sudden. Therefore, the ruling
is not a signal for "hotheads" to scatter
their own peculiar brand of hell. There
are some of us who are outraged merely
for the sake of notoriety. There are some
of us who feel that a de-segregated educa­tion
will not be the same unless it is given
in a class composed of "all-whites."
Here on our campus, liberalism extends
beyond the boundaries of that exemplified
by the population of the state. Racial
equality has occurred in the armed serv­ices
without violence. Likewise, there will
be very little antagonism over the ming­ling
of minds on an educational problem.
Governor Gordon Persons had stated
previously that he would not call a special
session of the legislature on the heels of
any such Supreme Court ruling. Wit^h the
announcement this week, he made it more
evident that he will not involve the state
in a hastily-sought decision. He has adopt­ed
a "wait and see" attitude which all of
us would do well to follow.
Dr. Ralph B. Draughon and Dr. O. C.
Carmichael, presidents of Alabama's two
major white schools, have adopted similar
cautious attitudes. We can be proud that
Alabama leaders have not voiced their op­inions
with violent and vituperative lan­guage
as used by leaders of other Southern
states. - '
Thus we ean do nothing more vital than
to sit back and place our confidence in the
hands of those men who are our leaders.
The ruling will be studied and a wise de­cision
derived which will be for the bene­fit
of all.
'54 Glom Best Ever
Last week we gave "a "plug" to the
Glomerata. We under-estimated what was
said. In many words, we said it was good.
We were wrong. It was as outstanding a
piece of workmanship as ever came from
an Auburn student.
It was new. It was delightful. Editor
Fred Nichols and Business Manager Tom­my
Tate took triteness right out of the dic­tionary.
Very seldom does something
come along as refreshing as the fifty-seventh
edition of the yearbook.
The manner in which the Greek sec­tions
were treated was exhilirating read­ing
no matter how you look at it. It re­quired
forethought. It required progres­sive
thinking. We could name section
after section. All were outstanding.
Our admiration for a wonderful job can
be summed up in our advice to the stu­dents.
Hang on to it. You won't see an­other
like it in many years.
Auburn Loses A Great Man
A "man's" friend passed away Saturday
night.
Alex O. Taylor, director of the depart­ment
of engineering extension and cooper­ative
education here, died of a heart at­tack.
-•.
His sudden death brought to an end a
life which had been dedicated to the stu­dents
and mankind. His death saddened
the core of Alabama industry as no other
death has done in recent years.
For Alex O. Taylor knew more Ala­bama
industrialists it has been said, than
any one man in the state. His personality
opened the door of many hearts. His un­tiring
efforts to secure jobs for co-operative
students won for him undying gratitude.
Whereever he went—and he traveled in
Wherever he went—and he traveled in
and left impressions which will linger on
in the minds of friends and loved ones.
He had been connected with the API
School of Engineering since 1937. In that
capacity he was just, honest and above re­proach.
It was understandable that a pall
of retrospective silence covered the en­gineering
school when his demise was an­nounced.
Engineers are, as a whole, not publicity
seekers. But among Mr. Taylor's lot fell
the task of publicizing his school. This he^
performed remarkably well.
Thus it is that we note the passing of
a true friend of Auburn, a great gentle­man,
and a magnificent person filled with
compassion, determination and a belief in
mankind.
Biggin Students Act Childish
The recent publicity given to the school
of architecture and the arts leaves us with
mixed feelings. It wasn't particularly well
received in this sector inasmuch as it
brought API adverse publicity. Somehow
we feel that all the facts are not known
and many of those which were published
in a space commonly used for political op­inions
were erroneous.
We have been aware for some time that
Biggin Hall has been a sore spot. Rather
than comment editorially upon the subject,
we felt that the administration and the
staff of the school could work matters out.
Evidently the trouble does not'arise from
personal feelings concerning character but
instead rises from professional disagree­ments.
Thus we wonder why people, which
includes students you know, wreak malic­ious
havoc upon those who have a reput­able
community standing. Biggin Hall has
gotten to the point where it is no longer a
monument to the profession of those who
labor in it. It has become a gigantic bulle­tin
board whereby.students paste nauseat­ing
bits of trash.
We know that the gripes are legitimate.
But we would much rather see those gripes
aired in privacy rather than through the
childish methods exhibited in the past year
and some months. We are tired of going
by Biggin each morning and seeing some
adolescent's sign hanging on the doors and
windows. We don't particularly care about
seeing a man's name derided. Particularly
since the trouble is not personal.
One has pride in his profession. One
must have the desire to progress in under­standing
and respecting other's beliefs. Is
it too much to ask that in the future, con­fine
professional disagreements to arbitra­tion
and/or meditation rather than malic­ious
notices?

The end of another school year
is drawing near, and the studies
are becoming more and more de­manding.
But s o m e h o w the
thoughts of Florida, Chewacla, and
Spring are in the air, and I don't
seem to be getting all I should out
of my studies. Just yesterday I was
dawdling over a second cup of
coffee after lunch just before go­ing
to my one o'clock English class.
I was trying to finish The Canter­bury
Tales before the hour when I
discovered that ~it was ten after
and I had spent too much time
with my cup and Chaucer.
Somehow I made it to the class
and managed to stay awake the
whole hour by working a most
difficult crossword puzzle. Next, I
arrived at my two o'clock biology
class just in time to hear the Prof
say, "The time has come for us to
dissect a frog. I have one in my
pocket for the experiment." He
tbok a crumpled paper bag out of
his pocket and extracted from it a
very tired-looking cheese sand­wich.
There was silence for a
moment, then the professor trem­bled
visibly, and said, "Goodness
me, I distinctly remember eating
my lunch." x ,
Right after my biology class I
went to PE. I was passing the
weight-lifting section of the gym
when I saw Coach Lowder leaning
on a trampoline and watching with
deep interest while a friend of
mine was executing a series of
amazing ballet steps, flip-flops
and somersaults.
"Man," said I to the Coach, "I
never knew that he was an acro­bat."
"Neither did I," admitted the
Coach, '"till I dropped a weight on
his foot."
Which goes to show that school
sometimes gets on your nerves.
Still, if you don't study and make
grades, Dear Old Uncle Sam will
come and get you. And the basic
training the Army gives you is
nothing to laugh at. My best friend
was in the Army and took thirty
days of basic training. Ten hours a
day he did exercises; four hours a
day he hiked; six hours a day he
did sentry duty and the other four
hours he was on KP. He did that
for thirty days. At the end of basic
training, however, they had to give
him a discharge— he was too tired
to fight.
But if the Army doesn't get you,
you'll finally get ^our diploma and
add a couple of letters after your
name. These letters must have
some well-hidden meaning behind
them, because there's only one
person that I know who was ever
ashamed to accept his diploma.
His story went something like this:
A divinity student named
Tweedle
Refused to accept his degree!
H | didn't object to the Tweedle
Bi§ he hated the Tweedle, D.D.
Men Students Should Be Disciplined
By Red Provost
I suppose there will be some
spoil-sports to disagree with me,
but I believe that nothing (re­peat)
nothing is more sorely
needed on this campus than an
iron-clad set of rules governing
the behavior of men students. The
Provost Plan for Dogmatic Dis­cipline
at API is as follows:
(1) Build enough additional
men's dormitories to accommo­date
the entire male student
body.
(2) The inmate should estab­lish
rules and regulations based
on the philosophy that the only
way to cultivate a sense of re­sponsibility
in a student is to de­prive
that student of the power
to conduct his own affairs by hog-tying
him in his room every night
at a certain, arbitrarily selected
hour. The hour, of course, can be­come
later as the student advan­ces
in school; eventually, if he is a
good boy, he may be able to stay-out
until 12:30 a.m., which is after
midnight.
(3) It wilfbe utterly impossi­ble
for the student to be abduct­ed
by any lecherous old women
during the hours he is legally
free, because, well . . . gee . . . I
don't know. But the women stu­dents
get restricted whether or
not they call in to tell the house­mother
that they will be unus­ually
late getting back from
somewhere. Men, of c o u r s e,
should have the same rule gov­erning
them, because, well . . .
gee . . . do you need a reason?
The fact that circumstances some­times
make it almost impossible
to get back should not make any
difference if any element, of hu­man
nature is involved, because,
well . . . gee . . . people are sup­posed
to be robots.
(4) It has been contended that
if students are really interested
in their work, they don't have to
be caged up and forced to study,
and if they are disinterested, they
won't study even when caged,
but everyone knows that conten­tion
is silly. Now isn't it?
(5) It is an immutable law of
human nature that the presence
of chaperones at houseparties and
dances is absolutely necessary to
prevent a mass orgy. College stu­dents
are intrinsically nasty, any­way
and I can't understand why
they are allowed to go out in cars
by themselves. I shudder to think
what might become of the virtue
and sense of decency of our young
men if something isn't done in a
hurry to regulate their behavior,
(shudder)
(6) After four years of living
under the Provost Plan, the stu­dent
is fully conditioned to meet
the reality of the merciless world,
because, well . . . gee . . . after
all.
* * *
At no cost to the Dramatics De­partment,
I want to put in a special
plug in behalf of the Auburn
Players' forthcoming production of
"Ring Round the Moon."
Regarded superficially, the play
seems to be just a very colorful
and entertaining charade. But be­hind
the seemingly frivolous fa­cade
lies some of the sharpest and
most intriguing satire ever to come
from a French writer which is
saying a lot.
The production is to be given at
the Graves Centre Amphitheatre,
•another factor which should con­tribute
greatly to its effectiveness.
Of course, professional calibre
staging is always expected and r e ­ceived
when Professor Peet is at
the helm. Extensive use is made of
unusual lighting and costuming,
and an exceptionally good cast has
been entrusted with the plot. It
opens tomorrow.
Waste Basket
After 33 Years Hutsell Wins
By Ronald Owen
Wilbur Hutsell has coached
track at Auburn for 33 years. He
has turned out many individual
champions, and many Olympic
performers. But last weekend was
the first time an Auburn track
team has won the Southeastern
Conference track meet. The first
time to be SEC Track Champions.
It was close last Saturday, as
always, but this time the Plains­men
didn't run a close second.
Second place wouldn't have been
anything new, for Hutsell's teams
have always b e e n among the
South's finest. Six times the
Plainsmen have finished second.
But Saturday they went one bet­ter
and won the crown.
Auburn came close to winning
last, year even without the serv­ices,
of discus-ace Jim Dillion.
Dillion hurt his leg playing foot­ball
during the 1952 season and
had to sit the '53 track season out.
His services were sorely missed,
too, because the big Olympic star
was good for eight to fifteen
points in almost every meet.
But Hutsell's men were knock­ing
on the door last year with
Don Johnson, ace quartermiler;
Jackie Creel, champion sprinter;
Bill Fickling, high hurdles star;
milers Allison Christopher and
Ewart Atkins, and low hurdles
man Duke Brown, carrying most
of the load.
This year was to have been a
cinch. Hutsell was to have five
SEC champions on his squad, five
first places sewed up. But the
army took Don Johnson, and the
situation seemed to revert to the
one before.
But Dave Middleton started
coming through in the sprints and
taking some of the strain from
that position. John Barton devel­oped
into an ace distance man
and Fickling seemed to have re­gained
his championship form.
So the Plainsmen took Florida
in a dual meet and that rated
them a sure second. Second to
LSU. It looked like a logical rat­ing
Friday night, for the Bengals
from Louisiana had qualified 14
men and Auburn had qualified
only 11.
But the Tigers went ahead and
won and brought that first place
trophy to the Plains. The senior
performers were the big scorers
for Auburn, men like Dillion,
Creel and Fickling. But Hutsell
pointed some of his thinclads who
came in second and third in some
of the events for special praise.
Boys like Dave Middleton, George
Rogers, Mickey Brown, Sonny Al-sup
and Ewart Atkins.
Yep, it's been a great year for
Auburn sportswise. And an even
greater One for Wilbur Hutsell,
"Dean of Southern Track Coach­es,"
the Birmingham N e w s'
"Coach of the Year" and proud
coach of the Auburn Tigers, "SEC
Track Champions!"
OH The Cuff
Something Good Conies From Pledge Swap
By Howard Skelton
Pledge swaps—we love them,
we hate them, we dread them and
we look forward to them. Reason
why for the mixed emotions—
everyone is .so afraid he's going
to get stuck with a drip! And
most of t h e time no one gets
stuck and much fun is had by all.
We heard the other day of a ro­mance
that got started at a pledge
swap, and it sounded so much like
a typical Auburn romance that
we decided to pass it on to you
unchanged.
It seemed that a "certain frater­nity
and sorority were to have a
pledge swap. The sorority sent a
list of its girls over to the frater­nity
house. Everyone at the house
gathered around the list on the
bulletin board. They were dis­cussing
women in general and
looking up the sorority girl's pic­tures
in the annual. The boy in
our story, Bart, walked up to the
bulletin board and signed up for
the girl in our story, Ann, because
her name was short. That was the
only reason.
Time came for the party. Bart
went over to the dorm to pick up
Ann. He waited 45 minutes, be­cause
she had been out to eat
with some of her sorority sisters
and was late getting in.
When she came down to the
lobby, the girl at the desk called
out her name and one of Bart's
brothers said, "That's my date."
Actually he was supposed to have
a date with Ann's sorority sister,
Ava Ann. Bart realized the mis­take
when Ava Ann came down.
He ran to the door and explained
that Ann was his date and Ava
Ann was the other boy's date.
Off they went to the party. All
evening Ann noticed how differ­ent
Bart was: she was impress­ed!
He was too! In fact, he asked
her for a coffee date the next
morning. The next day they went
over to the Union Building.
On their third date they went
to the drive-in. They both had
seen the picture. She was inter­ested
in the picture and he was
interested in her. But he won out
with one simple little kiss. That
night he told his room-mate, "she
was friendly but cool." She told
her room-mate, "He's nice."
Three weeks passed with coffee
dates scattered out in between.
Then he finally got a date on a
Friday night. He asked her for a
date for Homecoming; but she had
a date. He asked for a date to the
big Alabama game, but she al­ready
had a date. She was like
most Auburn girls—sorta popu­lar.
"They dated the Friday night
before Homecoming a n d she
realized she didn't want to go
with the other boy the next day;
but she didn't believe in breaking
dates.
She went to the game with the
other boy and was bored stiff. At
the party that night, she asked
the boy to take her home as she
wasn't feeling well. When she got
back to her room, her room-mate
called Bart and told him to come
over.
He did and that's when Ann
realized she was really falling in
love with Bart. For the next few
months they dated and did a lot
of talking about their future. Ann
spent h e r New Year's holidays
with Bart's people. When Ann
and Bart got back to school in the
winter quarter, they got pinned.
Now they're getting married this
summer.
This couple didn't get stuck,
they "got stuck for life!"

Frank Thomas - Immortal In The Football World
By Carmer Robinson
Occasionally the passing of a
man of great character, dignity
and purpose marks the closing of
a beautifully written story. There
was once a man, erect in gridiron
statue, who journeyed down into
the deep South to launch a coach­ing
career that has yet to be
equaled.
This man hailed from the
northern ragion of our country,
but his contributions to the sports
world were made from the south­ern
part. He attended Notre
Dame University, and there, un­der
the tutelage of the immortal
Knute Rockne, learned the finer
arts of football principles.
There he was, understudy to
the lengendary George Gipp, and
later quarterbacked the Fighting
Irish his junior and senior years.
Upon graduation from South
Bend with a law degree, he had
to decide whether to follow his
profession or enter the coaching
field. He choose the latter and be­gan
his coaching career as assis­tant
coach at the University of
Georgia. From there he was se­lected
as head coach at the Uni­versity
of Chattanooga.
After three very successful
years with the Moccasins he re­turned
to Athens, Ga., to coach
the Bulldog's backfield. When the
famed Wallace Wade resigned as
head coach at the University of
Alabama, this young coach, des­tined
to greatness, took the reigns
at the Capstone in 193L
From there he guided the
Crimson Tide into a football era
that had not been paralelled, and
has yet to be equaled by any other
school.
He changed the previous tab,
"The Thin Red Line," into the
trademark "Crimson Tide," a
name that is respected and fear-

"THE GUY'LL LOSE
HIS SHIRT!"
" . . . I walks into this haberdasher just ofT campus,
see, and ask for a white shirt. He starts givin' me this
song-and-dance about that Van Heusen Century with
the soft collar that supposed to not wrinkle ever. The jerk
starts snowin' me with some 14-day free trial deal, that if
I'm not satisfied after wearing it and washing it for
14 days, he'll gimme my dough back.
"I'm from Brooklyn, see, and I don't trust nobody. I ask the
guy, 'What's the catch, buddy?' He says, 'No catch. Wear
it as much and as hard as you want. If the collar ever
wrinkles or wilts, you get your money back. Wash it
yourself. It's easy. You just iron the collar flat, flip it, and
it folds perfectly because the fold-line's woven in.
If not, your money back.'
"The guy tells me it's the only soft one-piece collar
in the world, that it lasts up to twice as long as other
shirts and only costs J3.95 for whites and $4.95 in colors
and superfine whites. I tell him he's nuts to make such a
stupid offer. I tell him he'll lose his shirt. It's a kind of joke,

Students Express Doubt That Auburn
Will Benefit In Folsom Administration
I n the recent May 4 Primary, gubernatorial candidate,
James E. Folsom received over 305,000 votes to win nominat­ion
for Governor without a runoff.
All of the larger and more influential newspapers of the
s t a t e spoke out against Big Jim, but nonetheless, t h e aspirant
from Cullman polled an over
- 5—THE PLAINSMAN
whelming majority of votes.
Comes To Auburn
During h i s campaigning he
brought his "toll grinding" aggre­gation
to the Loveliest Village.
Since the majority of Auburnites
and students were for Faulkner,
Allen, or Henderson, Big Jim's
speech was greeted in a most un-receptive
manner.
Now, as the politician's gun have
silenced and the smoke has lifted,
Big Jim Folsom will reign as Gov­ernor
of our State for the next
four years.
A poll has been conducted by
the Plainsman to determine the
students' reaction now that Big
Jim has been elected. This ques­tion
was asked the students —
"What do you think Folsom will or
can do to benefit API during his
tenure as governor."
Students Answer
The following students answered
the question — Prude Fancher: "I
do not think that Folsom can bene­fit
Auburn very much, especially
after the way he was greeted dm>
ing his speech here."
John Arnold: "I do not believe
he will do much for Auburn, since
it was evidenced in the voting that
it was not the educated people
who elected him, therefore it will
not be the educated" people who
will gain by his election."
Lee Landers: "I believe that he
will make educational improve­ments,
such as increase teacher's
salaries and improve and expand
school facilities on the secondary
school level, since the quality of
education at the college level is
more than adequate considering
the secondary background that the
children of the state now acquire.
He will appoint qualified API
trustees, regardless of which col­lege
they attended, rather than
solely Auburn alumni. I also be­lieve
he will give Auburn an ap-porpriation
at least equal to that
of the University of Alabama."
Jane Sneed: "He knows that
Auburn didn't go 'Folsom,' so if he
continues along his usual line he
may not 'go Auburn.'"
Bob Mayo: "I believe Folsom
will be fair to Auburn. The re­action
at his speech here during
the campaign will not determine
his attitude."
Royce Stanford: "I do not think
that Folsom will do anything
beneficial for Auburn unless he
has to, because of his reception

Bill Adair: "What's good for Big
Jim is good for the whole country.

shoes. Now I feel I can go bare­footed
without too much ridicule."
Judy McCarter: "I think Folsom
will be reasonable toward Auburn
and not hold the demonstration at
his speech against us."
Bob Word: "After the reception
at his speech here, he will not go
out of his way to help Auburn. But
I don't believe he will go out of

Ever Study
TERRESTRIAL ENGINEERING?
Probably not. As far as we know, there isn't such a term.
Even so, t he terrain of a manufacturing plant may have
a vital effect on the design and location of its engineer­ing
equipment.
I t certainly did in the case of our Belle, West Virginia,
plant, which is just across the road from a flat-topped
hill, 750 feet high.
Perhaps you'd like to match wits with Du Pont engi­neers,
for we feel that this problem was interesting—
and its solution ingenious.
Briefly, the situation was this: Carbon dioxide was to
be removed from a mixture of gases by bringing them
into contact with water in "scrubbers" operating at 450
psi (gauge). The inlet gases contained about 25% CO2
by volume. Because of its greater solubility, most of the/
CO2 would leave the scrubbers dissolved in the water.
I t was necessary to reduce the pressure of this water
to atmospheric and recover the dissolved carbon dioxide,
since CO2 was needed for use in a chemical synthesis.
The degasified water then had to be pumped back into
the pressure scrubbers, to repeat the scrubbing cycle.
Still like to match wits? How would you design an
economical closed system for this scrubbing water? After
you've thought out your solution, you might like to
compare it with the one given below.
Du Pont engineers made use of the precipitous ter­rain
in this way: pressure on the water leaving the
scrubbers was sufficient to force it up to the top of the
hill for CO2 recovery. The returning water thereby pro­vided
a pressure of approximately 325 psi (750 feet of
head) at the base of the hill. This gift of pressure on the
suction side of the water pumps resulted in considerable
energy saving.
Do unusual problems such as this one challenge you
and stir your enthusiasm? If they do, we think you'll be
interested in technical work with the Du Pont Company.

SPORTS
By Hamp Royston, Sports Editor^!
Too Much Business, Not Enough Fun
Causing Decline In Baseball Interest
In this day of fat paychecks and much spare time on the
part of the average American, the prognosticators are prog­nosticating
over the problem of why in heck more people
aren't supporting what is supposed to be our national sport—
i.e., baseball. This national problem, which is reflected in
the falling gate receipts and rising television audiences, is also re­flected
on the local scene in the fact that the patrons aren't spinning
the turnstiles at Plainsman Park at a clip to break any speed or at­tendance
records.
When the fan of today goes to a baseball game, what is he seek­ing?
He is not really seeking anything, in the strict sense of the word.
He is running—running away from the cares, worries, and ulcers
which are the trademarks of the rushed, harried, and unsettled exis­tence
which is commonly called "life;' in this, our modern world.
And what does he get? Does he get spontaneous, carefree enter­tainment—
something which will make him forget what lies on the
outside of the centerfield fence? He does not. Instead he watches a
group (one might almost say a platoon) of well disciplined and well-trained
individuals go through their paces in trying to achieve a 1.00C
batting average or a 1.000 fielding average so that said 'individual
will either have his paycheck raised next year to $45,000, as in the
case of the professional players, or will compile a collegiate record
worthy of a $45,000 bonus to sign upon graduation or worthy of note
in the daily tabloids, as in the case of the collegiate players.
He watches said trained seal faithfully adhere to his manager's
instructions and change his batting stance 2.5 mm so that he will
have more leverage or something, and will thus raise his batting aver­age
.299999 points. The participants go about this business in the most
serious, stolid of attitudes, with never a carefree thought.
And therein lies the key to our little 'ol problem. What has hap­pened
to the goofs, the clowns, the jokesters who formerly supplied
the esence of entertainment to the sport? They are no longer around.
Dizzy Dean used to build a fire in front of the dugout with the
thermometer hitting 112 degrees and then proceed to warm himself
by it. Pepper Martin used to lean out of stadium windows and pour
water on Manager Frankie Frisch and passing dogs—an unfortunate
association of ideas. A pitcher named Bugs Raymond used to cost
John McGraw's Giants a new ball and the game whenever he was sent
to the bullpen to warm up. Bugs would walk out of the Polo Grounds
and up the street to a saloon that gave him a liberal trade-in for
every new ball he brought.
One of the best stories to come out of this era was the one in which
Casey Stengel's Dodgers were getting a shellacking. Boom Beck,
Casey's fourth pitcher of the day, refused to leave the game when
Casey ordered him to do so, and argued the point quite heatedly. While
this went on, the late Hack Wilson, who was playing right field, de­cided
to take a gentle snooze.
After a long argument, Beck wheeled and, in a fit of rage, threw
the ball against the right field fence, which was made of tin. Wilson,
who had been chasing line drives off the fence all afternoon, thought
the bombardment had started again. He jumped up, fielded the ball
cleanly off the wall, spun and threw the ball in to second.
Why have the funsters disappeared? Most of the reasons have been
outlined above. Indeed, a player who would risk an injury and thus
lose a small fortune for the sake of a little fun would be judged as
crazy by most people. Too much depends on his being able to-supply
that all-important batting and fielding average.
But one can hardly help but believe that the return of the antics
of the clowns and screwballs of yesteryear would greatly enhance
the entertainment qualities of the game and thus make the turn­stiles
burn out their bearings once again.
To put it the same way ninety percent of the sportswriters in the
conference said it, "The bridesmaid finally went to the altar." Yes,
Auburn and Wilbur Hutsell have won their first SEC track title after
approximately 33 years of trying.
The presentation of the trophy to Coach Hutsell is being reported
as a very stirring event. Usually at track meets, no one stays to see
the presentation. But in Legion Field last Saturday, not a fan left his
seat. The other coaches in the conference rushed down to congratulate
Hutsell as Commissioner "Bernie" Moore gave the trophy to Hutsell.
Hutsell accepted the trophy by himself after the team had decided
that it would be most fitting that way. Hutsell had wanted to have
the seniors with him, but they knew that this was the coach's finest
hour.
Although Auburn had the meet cinched with three or four events
left to run, Hutsell just couldn't believe that he had finally won. He
made the scorers recount each individual point scored so that there'd
be no mistakes.
« Jackie Creel set a new school record in the 220 by running it in
20.8 seconds. That shaves .2 second off the old record.
• Jim Dillion and Creel will probably be entered in the NCAA in
the summer. Dillion has been NCAA champ twice before, but it'll be
Creel's first trip.
• If Creel comes back next year and scores 10 points he would be the
third highest all-time individual scorer in the conference (counting
only conference meets). He is now 14th, with Dillion a close 15th.
• Paul Beinz was the only guy to win the 220 three years until Creel
came along and turned the trick this year. Dillion has also won the
discus three years.

Dillion, Creel Lead Plainsmen
To Surprise Conference Crown
By Bob O'Neill
For the first time in history, the William A. Alexander
Trophy—symbolic of team championship in the SEC track
meet—rests in the hands of the Auburn Plainsmen and Coach
Wilbur Hutsell.
ArTer 33 years as head track mentor at the Plains, Hutsell
ias finally seen one of his teams
capture the annual conference
.-hampionship. S i x times the
'lainsmen have played the role
if runner-up; but Saturday, were
iot denied.
After LSU had dominated the
qualifying rounds on Friday, the
Bengal Tigers w e r e set up as
meet favorites. However, on Sat-jrday,
the Plainsmen showed
imazing depth with every mem­ber
of the team coming through
with a maximum performance.
Team Victory
It was a team victory with
Creel and Dillion leading the way.
The Plainsmen scored in 12 of
16 events to register 58 points.
They took six first places, with
Creel and Dillion copping two
each.
Dillion, Auburn's weight ace,
took first place in the discus with
a record-breaking throw of 171-
1. He captured the shot put with
a throw of 50' 5%", beating Carl
Vereen of Georgia Tech who had
beaten Dillion in the shot put
twice earlier in the season. Creel
took first place in the 100-yard
dash in a time of 9.8 seconds and
in the 220-yard dash with a time
of 20.8 seconds (a new Auburn
record).
High hurdler Bill Fickling and
two-miler John Barton took the
other first places f o r Auburn.
Barton also placed second in the
mile, losing out by a few yards to
Bill Adams of Florida. In ail, 12
men entered the scoring column
for the Plainsmen.
Reserves Were Factor
A tremendous factor in the vic­tory
was the w o r k of Hoppy
Middleton, George Rogers, Ewart
Atkins, Mickey Brown, Sonny
Alsup, and Dave Powell. Middle-ton
stayed close to the front in
both sprints finishing third in the
100 and fourth in the 220.
George Rogers came up with
the best throw of his career in
Jim Dillion
the discus with a throw of 148'
4V2". Atkins finished third in the
mile, while Mickey Brown pole
vaulted 13 feet to tie for second
in this event. Alsup tied for
fourth in the pole vault.
Florida opened the scoring with
a victory in the 440 relay. The
Gators were followed by LSU and
Auburn. Shortly afterwards, Dil­lion
took first place in the shot
put. In the mile run which fol­lowed,
Auburn's John Barton, the
favorite, took the lead a half lap
from the finish line only to re­linquish

Dillion Adds Point
In the javelin, Bob Childress of
LSU captured the only first place
of the meet for the Bengal Tigers
with a throw of 196'-3%". Dillion
took fifth to add another point for
Auburn. The 440-yard run was a
Florida-LSU race with Jim Cros­ier
of Florida breaking the tape
first. LSU took second, third, and

The Tennis Twins (Spalding-made) are unmatched
in their record in top tournament play. And here is
the clinching proof: The Wright & Ditson is the only
official tennis ball used in all U.S.L.T.A. National
Championships (since 1887). Official, too, in all U.S.
Davis Cup Matches. Official adoptions of its twin,
the Spalding, in other leading tournaments assure
their championship stature in American tennis. Play
the championship twins to your own advantage.

The 100-yard dash was a close
race all the way. Creel crossed
the finish line only a half step
ahead of team m a t e Hoppy
Middleton who trailed Florida's
Bill Watson by only a shade. At
the end of six events, LSU led
with 30 points, Auburn was sec­ond
with 29 points and Florida
third with 20 points.
It was at this point that the
Plainsmen begin to pull out in
front when Dillion made his rec­ord
breaking discus throw and
George Rogers took third pRtce.
In the following event Bill Fick­ling,
with a time of 14.8 seconds,
recaptured his 120-yard high
hurdle crown.
Sam Hill, Tennessee, copped
first in the 880-yard run with a
time of 1:53.2. Dave Powell, Au­burn,
ran third at 1:54.0 to better
the Auburn record in the 880. Ar­chie
Vickers, as expected, had the
24'-1%". This was the second
longest broad jump with a leap of
event of the day in which Auburn
failed to score.

men. Creel running home first in
the 220 with Middleton in fourth
place pushed Auburn eight points
closer to victory.
Earl Poucher failed in his ef­fort
to break his brother's con­ference
pole vault record, but
took first place with a vault of
13'-11%". Mickey Brown and
Sonny Alsup both placed in this
event and added five more points.
The clincher came in the two-mile
run as John Barton broke
the tape in 9:55.4. He was follow­ed
by Don Gagnon, Florida, and
team mate Ewart Atkins, a sur­prise
third place.
This gave Auburn a total of 57
points and a 11 mathematical
chance of being overtaken was
gone.
In the high jump, Bob Hyde,
Alabama, took first with a leap
of 6'-2V4". He bested LSU's Ail-
American basketball player Bob
Petitt by a inch. Jim Smith, Flor­ida,
took first in the 220-yard low
hurdles with Auburn and LSU
failing to place.
LSU's mile relay team took top
spot in the final event of the day
but these points had no effect on
the final outcome. Auburn's team
took fifth to wind up its scoring
for the day with a total of 58
points.

Intramural Softball Season Ends;
Delta Sigma Phi's Pull Major Upset
The last week of the regular 1954 softball season departed
in the cold unseasonable gloom of last Wednesday afternoon,
but that last week held enough surprises for a whole year.
One of the most astonishing reversals of form of the whole
year was the performance turned in by DSP in their game
with PKA. The game counted
twice in the standings and a win
by the Pikes would have put them
in a position for a strong shot
at the league title. However,

IMPROVEMENT IN ALL phases of sports activity was the general trend for the 1953-54 season
and Coach Luther Young's netters were no exception. The Plainsmen tennis men completed one of
their most successful seasons and their performances indicated that there is more success due on the
tennis courts next year. ,.
Auburn Sports To Miss Joe Davis
The name of athlete Joe Brown Davis has flashed across
sport pages for the past four years as the husky Macon, Ga.,
lad has shouldered much responsibility in Auburn sports.
As the Joe Davis story begins to wane into the past tense,
the Auburn Athletic Department begins to realize just how
much he has contributed to the

somebody rewrote t h e script—
DSP routed PKA 10-0, on the
strength of Dunbar's masterful no
hit, no run pitching, and the home
run clouting of Fuller and Worth-ingtpn.
Brock furthered the cause
with two doubles.
OTS Wins
OTS turned on their old rival
AP, 2-1, as Embrie pitched a two
hitter. Cox scored both of the OTS
runs. One came on a home run.
PKP racked up the powerful
ATO's 16-8. Tate and Hurston
homered for PKP and Guthrie hit
two singles. Duncan was the big
man in the ATO lineup with three
hits in four trips. Murry rapped
out 2 for 4 for the losers.
Mummert pitched no hit ball
for KA as they pounded LCA 11-
1. Hemby and Perdue led the hit
parade with three hits each.
Sigma Nu Falls
PKA warmed up for their clos­ing
day disaster by beating SN
3-1, top title contender in their
league. The next day the roof
caved in as DSP bopped 'em with
the double whammy.

like the delta shelterlodgers must

them out 3-1.
PKT, sparked by Cassady's two

SC's Barnett. Sedra, with a home
run and a single, and Williams
with two hits, pulled SC through
to a narrow 6-5 victory.

Cotton is hit in the mouth by
"Gruesome", who had an iron
pipe taped to his forearm. The
"Killer" gets up spitting blood,
and wanders all over the mat
coughing up bloody bits of teeth.
"Killer" seeks revenge in the
second round of the match and
comes out slugging, gets caught
by Gilchrist with a step-over toe
hold and submits by paying off to
"Gruesome." They fight all over
the ring again and Cotton bites
Gilchrist on the leg, wrestles
around the ring, and then pins
with a banana split in a matter
of seconds. "Gruesome" is very
much disturbed about this and
comes back fighting in the third.
These boys, as if you did not
already know, are members of
Coach "Swede" Umbach's varsity

Plainsmen's rapid climb from the
conference doormat. The ambi­dextrous
Davis has participated
in both football and baseball dur­ing
his college tenure on the
Plains.
All-State
The all-state Georgia prepster
entered Auburn after an illust­rious
high school career at Lanier
High School for Boys, in Macon.
There he quarterbacked two state
championship football teams, and
playing shortstop on the diamond,
was the mainstay of the Poets
baseball team.
Davis was Vince Dooley's un­derstudy
on the 1950 frosh foot­ball
team, during a season which
yielded nothing but ruin and des­olation
for the gridiron Tigers.
The following year newly ac­quired
Coach Shug Jordan laun­ched
a new era in Village sports,
and Joe Davis helped the youth­ful
mentor kick off a most suc­cessful
season. Davis introduced
his famed "educated toe" into the
football picture and for his phe;
nomanal record, acquired the
name of "automatic Joe." He was
rightly named. It was his fourth
quarter PAT against Florida that
year which gave the Plainsmen a
homecoming victory.
Leads Nation
Joe Davis reached the thres­hold
of greatness in the realm of
football specialists as he lead the
nation percentagewise during the
1951 gridiron season. He tied the
SEC record by splitting the up­rights
17 consecutive times before
fate caused the 18th try to veer
astray.
Also, that year, Davis toed an
•insurance field goal in the opener
against Vanderbilt.
The following year found Au­burn
slumping, but one of the two
victories was directly attributed
to "automatic Joe." His last min­ute
field goal against Clemson
was the' only difference between
the two teams and the Tigers em­erged
the victor, 3-0.
During the past season the two
platoon system was buried, and
with it the role of specialists in
college fooball. At this point the
versatile back proved his football
savvy by being top substitute for
