Information Given
| To Clear Up Points
For Grading System
By War Eagle
It was brought to the ole
bird's attention this week that
many Auburn students are
under the impression that
they had to maintain a 1.0
overall average to s t a y in
school. This is completely untrue.
The requirements as adopted
by the Council of Deans are that
a students must pass five hours
of work each quarter to remain
in school. In the case of first
quarter freshmen, they are al­lowed
to continue in school re­gardless
of whether they pass
anything or not. .
But, each freshman must pass
a minimum of 50 per cent of his
hours carried during the year,
and must have earned honor
points totaling 50 per cent of
hours carried.
A sophomore student must pass
70 per cent of the hours carried
during the year, or otherwise he
must come to summer school. He
must also have an honor point for
70 per cent of hours carried.
Students who have completed
eight or more quarters must pass
80 per cent of work carried.
Any student failing to measure
up to these requirements must
clear deficiencies in any one sum­mer
session, but can't continue
in school until his deficiencies are
cleared. Students must clear up
deficiency work at API.
Honor points are given in the
following way: three for each
hour's credit passed with a grade
of "A"; two for each hour's credit
passed with a grade of "B", and
two for each hour's credit passed
with a "C." There are no honor
points given for "D's" and "F's."
The ole Bird hopes that these
facts will help clear up some of
the dark places that some stu­dents
have had concerning the
new grading system.

WHAT
COLOR
GOES WITH A
BLUSH?
$
A modest little freshman named Caspar Doyle found
himself getting quite neurotic. It seemed that every time a"
girl looked at Caspar, he blushed. His sallow little cheeks
turned a violent crimson. Then he would blush more because
he was blushing.
He didn't get very far with the ladies and began brooding.
Fortunately, he was a wealthy modest little freshman, and
he finally bundled his problem off to a psychiatrist.
"1 even hate my shirts. I know when I wear a white shirt it's
only going to make my blush look redder," he dolefully
intoned from the couch.
The head-shrinker's eyes lit up with dollar signs. He said:
"Ahem. This trauma is obviously deep-seated and will take
a long time to unravel. But meanwhile, try wearing some
Vanahue shirts. Van Hcusen makes them in lots of colors that
will tone down your blush and you're bound to like the
smart new collar styles. For your practical side, they're fine
smooth broadcloth, color fast and Sanforized.
See my nurse for the bill, please!"
Caspar bought Vanahue in all the colors and smart new collar
st\lcs fqv S'j.95 each. It worked. So many of the girls look at
him now, he blushes constantly. Everybody thinks he just
looks rugged and virile.

IMs Add Bit To Better Education
Is education in the doldrums? Out­standing
educators of the day are prone to
be fire and brimstone when anyone ques­tions
the advancement and ethics of so-called
m o d e r n progressive education.
Many are hardened and dedicated (i.e. Har­vard's
"famous," outspoken Doctor Pusey)
to carry on age-old traditions among the
hallowed halls of knowledge.
Culture is fine. Age-old doctrines are
to be respected. Both are predominant
strains in humanity whether they are pro­mulgated
through education or through
the artistic levels of creative man. How­ever,
many of the facets of today's educa­tion
must coincide with the ultimate goal
of the every day student, namely, the stark
realization of making a living first of all.
When that is achieved then education can
go about instilling in the student those cul­tural
strains by which he may be recog­nized
as a civilized being.
Practicality is becoming more impor­tant
day by day. The question is whether
education is keeping up with the trend of
the times. What will it do for the student
is of more importance than comforming to
policies of liberalism, hallowedness or
cultural doctrines handed down through
the years. Naturally the end results of
any type of education is reflected in the
type of individual student; but today's en­vironment
fairly shouts for realism, and
environments make the individual.
It is becoming more apparent that edu­cation
is failing to do as good of a job in
preparing the student for his career as it
could. In technical fields, many students
have found upon graduating and having
secured their'*'] obs, that the employer will
spend nine months to three years undoing
the theory and practices established in the
undergraduate days. What a dilemma. It
means something is wrong somewhere.
Education must necessarily change in
nature within the next decade. There are
signs of such taking place in the field of
engineering here at Auburn. API's de­partment
of industrial management has
long been aware that industry is paying a
stupendous price to obtain a college grad­uate.
As a result, the department has con­stantly
been revising its curricula in ac­cordance
with courses industry vows is
necessary and most important.
A newer method of tying in the col­lege
with the realistic industrial world will
soon take place in the department. One
of the larger electrical concerns in the na­tion
has been contacted and will furnish
actual data on problems which they have
faced. Students will use this data, form­ulate
their solutions and then meet with
company executives to compare their solu­tions
with what was actually done.
An outstanding step? No. But pro­gress?
Definitely. It is progress which
will eventually lead to a more worthwhile
education. It is only natural that industry
and education should be drawn closer to­gether.
Too long the college graduate has
had to go into a field with little or no idea
of what is to be expected of him. And
for such a length of time, universities and
colleges have been in the doldrums—no
rain, but calm and listless.
In time, perhaps the technical fields
will be bolstered by graduates who can
step right into a given situation and per­form
with a minimum of wasted time and
effort. Maybe there is a faint gleam in a
dark picture after all.
Blood Drive Lacked Proper Publicity
Auburn recently set a new national col­legiate
record in donating 1842 pints of
blood to the Red Cross. Publicity in the
state dailies concerning the matter was,
at a minimum, as Auburn publicity too
often is. So far as this publication can
gather, the only news concerning the rec­ord
setting which the state papers carried
was a couple of inches in each under an
Associated Press tag line.
In recent months and years there has
been a great deal of criticism here on the
Plains of the manner in which several of
the state dailies fail to give enough cover­age
to Auburn news. Usually when there
is such criticism, the cause is laid to dis­crimination
on the part of the dailies.
Others lay the cause upon the publicity
bureau.
Neither group is entirely right. But it
is this newspaper's opinion that the state's
dailies are glad to print all the "live" news
Auburn sends them. The trouble is that,
for some reason, the API news office does
not gather enough of that type of news
copy. There is excellent coverage of agri­cultural
news here. But news events af­fecting
students and faculty in other di­visions
go unreported.
So far as we can gather, there is almost
no, if any, communication between the stu­dents
and the publicity director or be­tween
the newspapers and the publicity
director.
We would imagine that the state news­papers
have received somewhat the same
cooperation as The Plainsman has—The
Plainsman has asked for cooperation in the
past from both the news bureau and the
sports publicity department, which is un­der
the publicity director. It has received
neither.
Auburn's state publicity will not im­prove'
by simply yelling "pro-University
discrimination." The only way that the
situation can improve is by strengthening
the lines of communication between Au­burn
and its news outlets. The publicity
director can do the job, but will he?
Auburnites will be especially interested
in an experiment in educational television
soon to be launched by the State of Ala­bama,
for it will involve the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute and the University
of Alabama.
Construction of the station and studios
will be financed by the Alabama Educa­tional
Television Commission from the
$500,000 appropriated for educational tele­vision
in Alabama by the last session of
the state legislature.
The station will be Auburn's golden
chance to let the voice of the plains be
heard where it will count; but, primarily,
it is Auburn's chance for added service.
—L.L.F.
Auburn's Coffee Going Up
We knew it. We didn't know how long
it would last but finally Auburn is joining
the rank and file. API students can look
forward to a rise in the price of a cup of
coffee next quarter. We hope this as­tounding
news will not cause any of the
students to transfer or place a damper on
election festivities.
It isn't funny to the folks in charge of
setting prices at the Union Building. It
has been pointed out that coffee prices are
rising day by day. .Consequently, the
Union Building is losing more money.
Union food service officials have ex­pressed
regret over the situation but can
see no other way than to raise the price
to ten cents per cup.
It is not a case of liking to take such a
step. It is a necessity. Students may
grumble, but the same situation will face
them wherever they may go for that cup.
It is the result of the times. It is certain
that should the price of bulk coffee go
down, then the Auburn student may real­ize
his fondest dream—a five cents cup
of "java" once again.
"Poor Marsha—You should'a been here yesterday when
he lectured on Joan of Arc."
Plain White Wash
Auburn Coffee, Or TNT
By Herb White
Coffee, which makes the poli­tician
wise, and see through all
things with his half shut eyes.
—Pope
If you are an average Auburn
student, you probably spend any­where
from seven to eighteen dol­lars
every quarter on coffee. If
so, your daily cup, or cups, of
caffeine should be of no little con­cern
to you. Again, if you are an
average student you no doubt
grumble about the quality of the
mud served in
the local tav­erns
each time
y o u drink a
cup.
All of which
leads up to, if
rather vaguely,
a poll taken by
t h e Crimson-
White, Alabama
student weekly,
to determine if poor java is synon-omous
with a college campus.
Many schools were contacted, and
the result was as expected: few
campuses use quality coffee as a
drawing card.
Minnesota claims a formula
which has been carefully tested
over a period of time. It calls for
three parts water, five parts cof­fee,
and two parts kerosene. This
is highly regarded as a substitute
for TNT.
Harvard rivals this with the
perfection of a synthetic product
which rivals methopropylbutane in
White
consistency and possible com­mercial
uses.
The University of Houston re­ports
that coffee there has caused
so many ulcers that they (the ul_
cers) do close order drill in bay
windows.
; Georgia Tech carefully guards
the secret of its process, but hints
that a chief ingredient is water
that has been used to mop floors.
If any local students have perti­nent
comments to add to these and
give the Crimson-White a clear
picture of coffee time at Auburn,
we will be glad to forward this in­formation
to them.
* * *
We would like to commend the
Department of Building and
Grounds for the beautification
project which they have under­taken
on the campus.
This department, which has re­ceived
many words of criticism
from The Plainsman, is doing''a^
good job in planting scrubs arid-landscaping
around the Union
Building.
They have also put up fences to
keep students from trampling on
the grass. It seems a pity that the
fences have to be used to keep
students off the grass, but if they
are needed, we thank B and G for
a good job.
B and G has also laid several
hundred feet of sidewalks in the
vicinity of the Union, which adds
to the appearance of the area.

Dear Dr. Draughon:
May we take this opportunity to
thank you for your excellent co­operation
in making the visit of
the Mobile Units to your campus
last week a magnificent success.
The total of 1,842 pints contrib­uted
by the students of API dur­ing
these two days reflected the
spirit which is present in your fine
college. Without your assistance
and the full support of the school
as a whole such an operation
could not have succeeded.
In expressing our thanks to you
as head of API we also wish to
thank all of those who spent many
long hours in making this opera­tion
a reality; namely, Mr. James
E. Foy, Mr. Arthur Moore and Mr.
Strick Newsom.
Again many thanks to you and
we will be looking way into the
future towards our visit next Feb­ruary-
Sincerely yours,

Student's Wife Speaks
Dear Editor: .
I am a student's wife, so I feel
that I have a certain right to
"speak my mind."
I was rather surprised when I
read your "Burning Books Emit
Foul Smoke," by Red Provost in
the most recent issue of The
Plainsman.
I do hope that Christ wasn't
meant when it was stated "cer­tain
persons . . . set themselves
up in their own eyes as a sort of
diety . . ." for He is divine and
it was from him that we received
all moral principles.
He definitely taught against
impurity of any kind, even of
thought.
His teachings are the yardsticks
whereby books, movies, etc., are
judged (as far as morality is con­cerned).
It would take several pages to
go into all the pros and cons of
censorship, but as .we need pro­tection
for our bodies from be­coming
addicted to dopes, so we
need protection for our Souls
from becoming tainted by the
filth and immorality with which
so many of our present day books
and movies are seething.
Sincerely,
Mrs. John F. Herndon
Dear Editor:
I want to take this opportunity
to call attention to the fine basket­ball
record made by Auburn this
year. Credit in large measure goes
to Coach Joel Eaves, who has
brought Auburn from nowhere to
a respectable position in the SEC.
Coach Eaves, one of Auburn's
own, is a keen student of the game,
a wonderful fellow, and a great
leader. Our hats are off to him.
Yawn - A Discourse On Sleep
By Bill Teem
Here it is, the end of the quar­ter,
and time to start looking for
a new apartment. I really didn't
want to move, but they were ask­ing
too much for the rent at my
last apartment—matter of' fact,
they were asking twice a day. I
was extremely lucky, however. I
found just the right place. It's a
big swanky apartment building in
Opelika. This apartment house is
so ritzy they've got a doorman to
open the door for the doorman.
The owner has just built the
apartment, and I was there when
they laid the cornerstone. It was
a lovely stone, twenty carets, I
believe.
This place is really modern, and
exclusive—it's so exclusive even
the tenants have to use the service
entrance. I knew a guy who rented
one of the apartments, and it was
so modern he slept in his bed for
three nights before he discovered
it was an ash tray.
But I like this modern furni­ture
they're using now. I bought a
real modern reading lamp that I
liked so much I went right out and
bought a book. My six room apart­ment
is furnished in modern style.
Well, actually only one of my six
rooms has furniture in it, but I
furnished it completely by col­lecting
soap coupons. I would
have furnished the other five too,
but they were full of soap.
The first night I was in the
apartment, I had a lot of trouble
going to sleep, but finally I rolled
ever to the edge of the bed. Next
thing I knew, I had dropped off.
Towards the end of the quarter I
don't get much sleep. If I got
eight hours of sleep in one night,
I'd probably die of sleeping sick­ness.
Actually I've got a bad case
of insomnia, so I take a shot of
vodka at regular intervals. It
doesn't make me sleep, but it
makes me content to stay awake.
I really shouldn't have so much
trouble going to sleep. It's all a
matter of mind over mattress.
One night I tried counting
sheep, but I didn't get much rest.
I counted 10,000 sheep. Then I put
them in a cattle car, shipped them
to market, and after I had figured
out how much money I lost on the
deal, it was time to get up. At
least there's one thing I can be
thankful for, I'm not a somnam­bulist.
I've got a friend that has
three automobiles, four airplanes
and two motocycles—and he still
walks in his sleep.
But still, sometimes it's better to
walk in your sleep than to talk
in your sleep. I know a couple
that talk in their sleep. He plays
golf and she loves to go to auction
sales. The other night the golfer
yelled: "FORE!" And the wife re­plied:
"FOUR FIFTY!" And some­times
talking in your sleep can
get you in trouble. I knew another
couple that got married recently.
The preacher mumbled a few
words in his throat and they were
married. A few months later the
husband mumbled a few words in
his sleep and they were divorced.
If I do finally get to sleep, I'm
always bothered with dreams. The
other night I dreamed that I was
eating shredded wheat, and when
I woke up, half the mattress was
gone.
I always get up the moment the
first ray of the sun comes in my
window. I've been fortunate so
far, all my rooms have faced west.
I can't figure out whether I'm
tired in the morning or just lazy.
I must be lazy because every
morning I can't decide whether to
lay in bed all morning or get up
early so that I'll have a longer
day to loaf.
My good friend, Sam Kapoofnik,
has been pointed out to me as a
shining example of what a man
should be. He loves to hear the
alarm clock ring as the sun begins

•of all the coeds who haven't been
elected to more than two of the
dozens of available beauty titles
on campus.
Sam Houston, pledge trainer of
ASNMGPS, an-n
o u n c e s that
any girl with
beauty, brains,
and talent may
enter the race,
provided she
has a sponsor.
A S N M G P S
maintains a n
accurate, u p -
to-date file of
available influ­ential
cliques,
and any girl who is unable to find
a sponsor on her own may select
one from this file. Satisfaction is
not guaranteed.
The polls will open at 8 a.m.,
April 1, and students are urged to
Provost
cast their votes early, because the
polls will be closed three days
later. Ballot boxes will be placed
all over the campus at handy lo­cations.
The winner of the contest will
receive the first annual "Miss
Ellaneous" cup (an elaborate glass
beer mug decorated with designs
in genuine paint), and an all-ex­pense-
paid tour of nearby taverns
with Red Provost, secretary em­eritus
of ASNMGPS. The rest of
the entrants, who will be runners-up,
will have their pictui'es in the
beauty, brains, and talent section
of Gblx, the ASNMGPS publica­tion,
and will receive a free kiss
from "Mister Completely." "Mis­ter
Completely" is an Auburn
student who is jolly and gay. He
was elected in a secret session of
ASNMGPS this quarter.
"Miss Ellaneous" will also be
the official sponsor of ASNMGPS,
and will serve the^ members in
this capacity for one whole quar­ter.
She will have lots of fun,
according to Sam Houston, ex
officio member of the ASNMGPS
recreation committee.
The winner's name will be an­nounced
at a special ASNMGPS
parade, which will originate in the
Union Building coffee room and
go all over the place. Everyone
will shout and sing and be happy
and friendly and say "hey." Pa­rade
time has been set at 7 p.m.,
April 4. Girls will not have late
permission.
The ballot to be used in the
election was designed by Red
Provost, ballot d e s i g n e r of
ASNMGPS. It is white, blank and
perforated, so that it may be easily
divided into four smaller ballots
for the convenience of ballot box
stuffers. Voters must write in the
name of their favorite beautiful,
brainy, and talented candidate.
Votes will be counted by Red Pro­vost,
chairman of the ASNMGPS
political affairs board. The count­ing
will be double-checked by
Sam Houston, officer-in-charge of
maintaining honesty in elections.
Evidently I was misunderstood
by at least one reader last week.
I was talking about censors only.

WSGA Elections Coming Up
By JoAnne Lucci
The first week of spring quarter,
th Women's Student Government
Association elections are schedul­ed.
The offices to be filled are
president, vice president, secre­tary,
treasurer, and social chair­man.
In the past,
the social chair-m
a n position
has been ap­pointed,
so this
is the first op­portunity
coeds
will h a v e to
vote for a can­didate
for this
office.
All w o m en
students should
realize the importance of select­ing
well-qualified girls to their
student government organization.
The WSGA plays a vital role in
Luce I
the life of every girl at Auburn,
and the officers should be selected
only after careful consideration of
each candidate; therefore, we urge
all coeds to think the matter over
carefully before casting their bal­lots

Auburn's annual A Day game
was blessed with good weather
and the largest attendance in the
game's history last Saturday. The
crowd was estimated at 6500,
which is a fine turn-out for the
ihtra-team classic.
Interest in the team is at a high
peak after the surprisingly good
showing of the past season, and
from the looks of things, the
•Tigers have another good year
corning up.
The half time entertainment
consisted of cheerleader selections
and the presentation of Miss A
Day and her court. A Club presi­dent
Hoppy Middleton presented
Jean Cross with the "Miss A Day"
trophy and a kiss, which the spec­tators
thoroughly enjoyed.
* * *
The last basketball game of the
season was also played Friday
night, and five seniors on the
squad bowed out of college ath­letics
by scaring Alabama to death
in a close- hard-fought tilt.
Captain Bob Miller, alternate
captain Jack Turner, Jim Martin,
Bill Fickling, and John Cochran
all played their last game for the
Orange and Blue, and were award­ed
wrist watches by President
Ralph Draughon in pre-game cere­monies.
The basketball team also had a
good season this year, and we were
glad that " certain friends" felt
the graduating boys deserved the
watches. We feci that they did,
too.

Infirmary Provides Excellent Facilities
By Jack Boozer
A Tiger Grad
Facilities afforded by the API
Hospital Clinic are excellent. Al­though
I have an aversion to go­ing
to such places, I had occasion
tb go recently in connection with
a few germs that had selected me
as their host.
Upon my arrival at the clinic,
proper steps were immediately
taken to render the germs in­nocuous.
I am pleased to report
that their efforts were successful
and that I am again able to face
the world. We are fortunate to
have such competent and court­eous
nurses and doctors associated
with Auburn.

A friend of mine pointed out to
me the activities of the Buildings
and Grounds Department in put­ting
down new sidewalks. He was
pleased to observe that they were
following the paths worn by stu­dents
in going from class to class,
instead of concentrating on geo­metric
designs. This is as it should
be for the purpose of a sidewalk
is to enable a person to get from
one place to another in the short­est
amount of time. Congratula­tions
to B & G.
During the recent religious ob­servances
here on the campus, one
of the speakers devoted one of his
talks to the Screwtape Letters.
Impressed by the vivid description
he presented of the book's con­tents,
I have been wanting to read
it. Last week the opportunity pre­sented
itself. A friend loaned me
his copy of the book which I
immediately perused.
In many respects, the book is
concerned with the hyprocrisy of
the age in which we live, an age
in which truth is looked upon as
blashemy and the life of Christ as
a vague dream to be emulated one
hour a week for ostentatious pur­poses.
Unfortunately, the book
contains many truisms which are
all too applicable to our modern,
age.
Would it not be fine if those in
authority and those not in au­thority
followed the precepts of
the Hindu verse which goes, "lead
me from untruth to truth, from
darkness to light, from death to
immortality." I recommend the
Screwtape Letters to those who
don't mind thinking a little.

Tong Soon Choi, Of Seoul, Korea
Knows Much Of War's Heartbreak
A slightly built South Korean girl who looks much young­er
than her 23 years began her second year of college at
A u b u r n last quarter. *
And during the coming months, Tbng Soon Choi, of Seoul,
Korea, looks forward to the final steps of p r e p a r a t i o n which
will enable her to do her p'art
In conquering the disease and
fear in her war-ravaged home­land.
Born in An Dong, Manchuria,
Tong Soon has seen and felt much
of the heartbreak of war.
When she was four years old
her family moved to Tenchin,
China. In the years that followed,
war in China made it necessary
for the family to move to Seoul.
Father's Fate Not Known
They remained in Seoul until
1950 when war again forced them
to move to South Korea and Pu-san.
This year, Tong's mother and
six sisters moved back to Seoul.
The fate of their father is not
known.
Tong's mother is in charge of
around 45 war orphans and the
problem of finding food and
clothing for them is not an easy
one, Tong said. Winter in Korea
is bitterly cold a n d there are
thousands of small children who
have lost their families, she con­tinued.
Supplies Needed
Other than food and clothing,
her mother is desperately in need
of additional housing space for
the children whose ages range
from six, to 15 years.
Anxious to get back to her
homeland to offer her services,
Tong speaks wistfully of the
white s t o n e buildings which
housed the Methodist Ewha Wo­man's
University at Seoul. After
finishing at Ewha Girl's High
School in 1947, Tong entered the
University where she won a B.S.
degree in pharmacy in 1951.
Describing the University, Tong
said, "It was beautiful there. The
college, which is operated by
Methodist missionaries, is 68 years
old." However, most of the col­lege
instructors are natives of
Korea, she said. The University
along with all high schools is now
located in Pusan.
Worked for Red Cross
Following her graduation, Tong
worked with the Swedish Red
Cross Hospital as one of three
pharmacists attached to a Bed
Cross Unit. While working with
the unit, s h e decided that she

must further her education to do
her part in rebuilding her coun­try.
A family friend had promised
Tong's mother and father that he
would do all that he could to
make it possible for her to study
in the U.S.
In 1952, the friend, who was
serving as a missionary, accom­panied
the 1st Student Regiment
to Ft. Benning, Ga., for a special
training course.
And his promise to Tong's par­ents
was fulfilled. Through his ef­forts,
arrangements were made
for Tong to come to A'aburn. Two
Auburn residents agreed to pro­vide
financial aid for her stui

Retirement of Dr. J. L. Seal,
head bf the API department of
botany and plant pathology, to de­vote
full time to teaching in that
department beginning June 30, and
the appointment of Dr. J. A. Lyle
as new' head were announced re­cently
by President Ralph B.
Draughon.
Dr; Seal came to Auburn in 1929
as associate plant pathologist and
associate professor, and for the
past 21 years has been head of the
department.
Born and reared on a Green­wood
County, S. C, farm, Dr.
Seal received his bachelor's degree
in agricultural science from Clem-son
College, his master's degree
from Iowa State College, and his
doctorate from the University of
Minnesota. Betwen eyears of grad­uate
study, he was an assistant in
botany and collaborator for the
U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry at
Clemson for one year, and for four
years he was extension plant path­ologist.
Following studies at Minn­esota
in 1925, Seal was assistant
plant pathologist with the Florida
Plant Board, and in 1928 was as­sociate
plant pathologist on the
Florida agricultural experiment
station staff, stationed at Belle
Glade.
Dr. Lyle, a native of Kentucky,
came here as assistant plant path­ologist
on the staff of the agricul­tural
experiment station in the fall
of 1947. He received his bachelor
of science degree from the Univer­sity
of Kentucky, where- he was
graduated cum laude and elected
to Phi Beta Kappa. He holds a
master's degree from North Caro­lina
State College and a doctorate
from the University of Minnesota.
During his years of graduate study,
he was a research fellow and re­search
assistant at North Carolina
and a research assistant at Minne­sota.

X Plus Y Equals Impressive A-Day;
Two Platoons Appear Ready For Fa
It looks like there may be another year of X and Y pla-tooning
on the Plains. Shug Jordan turned loose his two
units against each other last Saturday in the annual A-Day
game and the results were pleasing.
Though the Y won as was expected, the battle the X team
put up was enough to cast a favorable light upon prospects for,
this coming fall. With such men as Vince Dooley, Ed Baker, Ed
Duncan, Charlie Hataway, Vince Nardone, Bobby Duke and Joe
Davis to replace, the X's were hurting in many important places.
The replacing of the linemen, while not an easy job, is a shade
less difficult than finding somebody to handle the one big impor­tant
job in the backficld—the quarterback slot. Chuck Maxime
and Dickie Steber showed promise in Saturday's tilt and could well
hold down the vacated guard spots. George Atkins, conspicious
because of his absence, will put added impetus into the guard
positions when he recovers from a back injury.
Big George, by the way, was one of the best guards in the
SEC last year and looks like a. sure bet for Conference honors this
fall. The Birmingham senior, one of the fastest men on the squad,
is a good man to have on your side.
Going back to the quarterback question, it appears that Bill
Burbank would be the man for the job in the X backfield. His in­jury
in the A-Day tilt left a lot unknown about his ability, but
the fact has ben proven that he's a clutch performer. And Jordan
could make uso of some of those booming punts he is famous for.
In the rest of the X backfield, the picture is not gloomy. Ray
Minor is a good man for the fullback job and Alton Shell and
Billy Whitten, a couple of speed merchants, can take care of right
halfback duty. Whitten. has been injured a good bit in his stay
at Auburn, but the little man should be ready to go next fall.
Shell, the Pearl River boy who scored so many touchdowns in
junior college ball, came through with an impressive performance
Saturday. Speedy and shifty, the 165-pound junior is a top-notch
pass receiver, as evidenced by the touchdown pass he caught for
the X's.
Howell Tubbs, a newcomer into the picture, could take a lot
of the weight from the quarterback problem. A good passer with
" cool head, Tubbs could well develop into one of the best men
for that vital position.
Tackles will be no problem for the X unit, but there may be a
little trouble filling end positions. Jim Crouch right now seems
tc be the man for the left end slot while Jim Long is back at right
end. Jerry Elliott, the marine veteran, might take up a little
slack at the left flank along with Jerry Sansom and John Whatley.
Y-Unit Set For Next Fall
The Y team, with touchdown twins Jim Pyburn and Bobby
Freeman back, are pretty well set for next fall. They lost one
man, Charlie Littles, right halfback. Their starting lineup almost
could be picked for next season now unless some more or less
unexpected changes are made. It would probably be the same
unit that started Saturday: Bobby Freeman, quarterback; Johnny
Adams and Hoppy Middleton, halfbacks; Joe Childress, fullback;
Jim Pyburn and Jim Hall, ends; Ted Neura and George Rogers,
tackles; Al Brame and Bob Scarbrough, guards, anil Jack Locklear
at center.
Some of those unexpected changes could take place if the X
quarterback problem persists. Rumor has ,it that Jordan is think­ing
about such things as trying Johnny Adams at quarterback, Joe
Childress at right halfback. Adams moving over would bring
Jimmy Powell or Alton Shell into the light as Y team left half,
and would make Jim Walsh or Olin Cunningham the Y fullback.
It leaves one in just as big a state of confusion as ever, for
the A-Day affair left a lot unknown. But you can bet on one thing.
Auburn will be a tough crew to handle next fall ,two platoons or not.
Basketball Season Can Be Termed Successful
Though it didn't end well, Joel Eaves and his basketball Plajns-men
enjoyed what might be termed a successful season. The scrappy
cagers from the "Loveliest Village" ended the season with a 16-8
record, which is not bad in any man's league. They had a 9-6 con­ference
record, one of Auburn's better conference marks in recent
J ears.
The season-ending loss to Alabama was a heartbreaker, but no
disgrace. Neither was the loss to Tennessee, a sharp shooting quin­tet
and one of the better teams in the league. The Tigers gained
several favorable notices during the season; one while encountering
a loss. They scored more points against Kentucky than any other
team had scored, and they handed the Tulane Greenies their first
loss on Tulane home court this year.
But the outlook for next season is not nearly so bright as It was
a year ago. Eaves is losing five seniors: Captain Bob Miller, co-captain
Jack Turner, forwards John Cochran and Bill Fickling and
center Jim Martin. These five men won't be easy to replace so
another great coaching job must come from Eaves if the Tigers'are
to be anything like successful.
Returnees slated to be the big guns are Jim O'Donnell, forward-
Bill Knkpatr.ck, guard; Henry Sturkie, guard; Jim Diamond, for­ward;
Doyle Haynes, guard and Gordon Mummert, center. Brownie
Nelson, transfer guard from St. Bernard Junior College in Cullman
will be ehg lble for varsity action next'fall and should lend Eaves
plenty of help.
Robert David, Downey Brothers
Entered In NCAA Mat Tournament
By Max Rosenberg
Three Auburn wrestlers are
going to the NCAA wrestling
tournament on March 26 and
27.
Coach Swede Umbach re­cently
announced t h a t Dick
and Ray Downey and Robert
David would go to the Nationals to
be held this year at the University
of Oklahoma. These three boys
have recently won championships
in their respective classes in the
SEIWA tournament held last
month.
Only Senior
Robert David, a 123-pounder,
who along with the Downeys, calls
Birmingham his home, is the only
senior in the three. David has
wrestled three years for the Au­burn
matmen, and has won 21
matches, lost only three and tied
one. During his first year as a
college wrestlei\ he lost out in the
tournament, but won a champion­ship
the following year. He won
five matches during the season this
year, and three in the tournament.
Last year David was voted the
best wrestler in the SEIWA.
Ray Downey is a junior and has
had three years' wrestling ex­perience
in the intercollegiate
field. Wrestling now in the 137-
pound class, Ray won five matches
this season and three in the tourn­ament,
which made him number
one in the 137-pound class. Dur­ing
the regular season Ray won
nine matches to give him a total
of 28 matches won. He has lost
two and tied one.
Dick Downey, as his brother
Ray, began wrestling at Baylor
School in Chattanooga, Tenn. Dick
is the youngest boy Coach Um­bach
is taking to the tournament,
being only a sophomore. Dick, in
only two years of college wrestling
at Auburn, has won two SEIWA
championships in two different
classes. Last year Dick won a first
in the 177-pound class, and this
year while weighing 20 pounds
less went on to win the 157-pound
class. In his two year career, Dick
has won sixteen matches, lost
one, and tied one.

SWEDE UMBACH appears to be in good humor as he goes over
possible wrestling strategy with Dick and Ray Downey, Auburn's
wrestling brothers. The Downey boys have been entered in the

A Message from Clarence Andrews, 'Your Pharmacist'
NOT SO LONG ago a visit to a dentist was some­thing
to be feared. The average person therefore
waited until a cavity grew so large and painful that
his dentist would have to extract the tooth.
HOW DIFFERENT it is now. You go to your
dentist before your trouble is serious, because modern
dentists are more concerned with the preserving of
your teeth than their extraction.
THE DENTAL PROFESSION is also having its
"miracle age." Many new chemicals and antibiotics
have been perfected for dental use, so that if you have
recurring troubles with your teeth, proper dental ad­vice
can help you.
YOUR MODERN DENTIST now prescribes the
proper vitamins or minerals you or your children lack.
He applies treatments that help to prevent cavities and
receding gums.
AS "YOUR PHARMACIST," we are carefully ob­serving
the newest dental discoveries, so that we can
compound your dentist's prescriptions, and supply the
dental aids he may recommend.
WE SINCERELY ADVISE you to visit your den­tist
at regular intervals. He can now do far more for
you than was possible in past years.

Coach Wilbur Hutsell's 1954
version of Auburn cindermen
work in earnest this week as they
prepare to inaugurate the new
season March 27 with the Florida
Relays in Gainesville, Fla.
The Tigers, who finished sec­ond
to Florida last season without
the services of the injured Jim
Dillion, are given a good chance
to finish at the top again this sea- !
son.
Dillion Back
Dillion, 1952 Olympic ace, is
back in the Orange and Blue
thinclads and will be counted on
heavily by Coach Hutsell. Dillion
hurled the discus in the Olympics
and garnered third place honors
in a universal lineup. He also
heaves the shot and the javelin.
A great competitor,-Dillion is a
two time winner of the NCAA
title in the discus throw.
Other. performers, forming the
nucleus of the tracksters, are
Jackie Creel, SEC 220 and. 100-
yard dash champion; Bill Fick­ling,
120-yard high hurdles, and
Duke Brown, low hurdles and
broad jump.
Distance Runners Back

Just then his roommate came up with

Our Hero guffawed. "Don't be dull,"
he answered. "I'll make up my mind

New York is l u l l of Hotels."
He was right. New York is full of

THE DU PONT
DIGEST
What do YOU look for in an employer ?
Undoubtedly, you'll want most of the following characteristics:
1. Job satisfaction—the chance to do work you really enjoy.
2 . Recognition—the assurance that good work will be noticed, appreciated,
and properly rewarded.
3 . Opportunities for advancement—a growing company can provide them.
4 . Security—the knowledge that a company is both stable and progressive.
5 . Pride—a feeling that your company is respected by the public and produces
goods which contribute to a better way of life.
6. Good companionship—a factor which contributes greatly to happiness on
the job.
7 . Good pay—not in salary alone, but also in terms of vacation plans, pensions,
and other benefits.
8. Safe working conditions.
How can you obtain this kind of information in advance?
One of the best ways is to discuss the matter with an acquaintance- already
working for the company you are considering. You will also find it helpful to
consult your college placement officer, your professors and company repre­sentatives
visiting your campus.
The selection of an employer is one of the most important decisions you'll
make. I t justifies considerable thought and effort.

Fraternity, Independent Cage Teams
Begin Playoffs For Title This Week
By Larrv Conner
Intramural Sports Editor
The final skirmish lines were drawn as the fraternity
league winners prepared for the showdown—the playoffs.
In the opening round, the SAE's, League I winners, faced
the ATO's, champions of League IV. Sigma Phi Epsilon, top
in League II collided with Kappa Alpha in the other opening
game.
• The independent playoffs are
in full swing now also.
Four strong, evenly matched
teams are fighting it out. The
Vets and the Buckshots carry the
standard of League I into battle.
The Devils and the Clowns sallied
forth from League II.
Fraternity playoffs are under­way
in table tennis also.
In the first round match, KA
downed OTS to advance in the
winner's bracket.
Westminster Fellowship went
1 * undefeated to remain Church
League ping pong champs.
This will be my last opportun­ity
to remind you independent
and church league managers to
be sure to get your softball roster
in to Coach Evans before t he
March 12 deadline. More names
may be added to rosters next
quarter. Even if y o u haven't
gotten your whole team lined up,
turn in some sort of roster before
the deadline anyway. Rememb.jr
you can add more names next
quarter, but you can't if you don't
get that roster in by M?rch 12.
Speaking of softball — Coach
Evans has requested that anyone
qualified and interested in offi­ciating
at softball games this
spring, please stop by his office
and sign up. Officials this year
are getting a higher pay than
ev;r before;
Less than a month is left before
the Interfraternity Track Meet.
The meet will be held Wednes­day
and Thursday, April 7 and 8.
Each fraternity may enter two
men in each event. Each relay
shall be composed of four men.
No individual shall be eligible
who has represented any college
in a varsity or freshman track or
cross-country meet. Former indi­vidual
champions are ineligible.
Entries close with R. K. Evans, at
the Gym, 12 noon Tuesday, April
6.
The points will be scored 8 for
first place, 5 for second, 3 for
third, 2 for fourth, and 1 for fifth.
The relay will be scored the same
as the other events. The Inter­fraternity
Council will award the
championship trophy to the frat­ernity
scoring the greatest num­ber
of points.
Y Team Takes X's 14-6 In A-Day Battle
Pyburn, Adams Awarded Trophies
As Most Outstanding Lineman, Back
By Bill Hutto
Led by the pass-snaring antics of Jim Pyburn and the
running of Johnny Adams, Auburn's Y forces defeated a gal­lant
X squad 14-6 Saturday at Cliff Hare Stadium before a
record gathering of 6500 satisfied spectators.
The X's, wearing burnt orange jersies and white pants, de­fended
successfully against five
of the seven scoring threats. All
afternoon, veterans Frank D'-
Agostino, M. L. Brackett, and
Captain Jimmy Long were stand­outs,
but new blood looked es­pecially
promising. Some of the
stalwarts in the rising sophomore
crop were Paul Terry, Ken
Johns, Jimmy S t r a i n , Ernest
Danjeans, and Jerry Sansom.
Y Forces
The Y forces, clad in blue jer­sies,
were spearheaded by Adams'
running show. The Bessemer jun­ior
gained 72 yards in 12 tries and
was voted "outstanding back" by
sportswriters present at the con­test.
«"••»"»!
"Outstanding lineman" laurels
were bestowed upon All-SEC
flankman Jim Pyburn, who tal­lied
13 of the Y points.
The favored Blue team took but
five minutes and 50 seconds of
the first period to d e n t the
Orange defenses f o r a tally.

himself offensively, fumbled to

Twc Plays
It took Bobby Freeman just
two plays to engineer the touch­down.
Adams skirted right end
for four. Freeman then hit Py­burn,
who raced over. Adams ran
over for the extra point.
In the Y forward wall, Bob
Scarbrough, and Jack Locklear
were standouts among the veter­ans,
while newcomer Pat Tozza'
and Pete Roussos looked good
both on offense and defense.
After Locklear's kickoff the(
Oranges launched a drive which
ended as Tubbs attempted to hit
junior college transfer Alton
Shell on the goal line. Joe Child­ress
.broke the play up.
Y's Take Over
After an Adams kick to the
Orange 35, the X's took over
again, and in 14 plays found
themseuves on the Y five yard
stripe. Fob James, Ray Minor, and
Shell played a major role in the
drive, James carrying on one oc­casion
for 14 yards. Tubbs passed
to Long for 11 yards to add to the
Orange cause.
The half ended as Burbank
lost six on an end-around. Blue-
7; Orange-0.
After two more unsuccessful
Blue threats, led by Freeman,
Adams, and Childress, Long fell
on an enemy miscue and the
Orange took over and moved the
ball to the.Y 46.sTubbs lost three
while trying to gain a first down
and the ball went over on the Y
41.
The Blue-clad Xer's took a
seven-play drive and turned it
into a touchdown after regain­ing
control of the leather.
Spearheaded by Adams and
Childress, the Y unit drove to
the two, where Freeman took
command and hit Pyburn in the
end zone. The PAT was also a
Freeman to Pyburn aerial.
Jimmy Strain lugged Lock­lear's
kickoff to the 48, but a 5
yard penalty set the X aggrega­tion
back to the 43.
Tubbs than hit Shell, who had
eluded the Blue safety at the 25,
and the swift junior scooted all
the way to pay dirt.
Burbank's placement was wide.
The X team regained possession
of the ball on the Y 45 yard line
in the late minutes: of the game,
but could not launch a successful
scoring drive. Don Stevens, so­phomore
quarterback, came into
the game and completed a 11.yard
aerial to right half Ed Newby as
the game ended. '• •
