TO FOSTER THE AUBURN SPIRIT
Volume 84 Alabama Polytechnic Institute AUBURN, ALABAMA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1956 8 Pages Number 15
Traffic Report Given
For Campus And City
Preliminary recommendations for handling the Auburn
traffic situation have been presented in a report to the school
and city by Mr. W. W. Shrader, Montgbmery traffic engineer,
announced Jim Rosser, chairman of the Student Senate,
which has been studying the problem.
His report, based on traffic
counts, measurements, and per­sonal
observation, contains a num­ber
of proposals to help ease the
existing problem. It is now under
consideration by the city council
and college.
Traffic counts were made with
the assistance of students and city
employees working in their spare
i time. Rosser was enthusiastic in
his thanks to the students who
iparticipated in these counts.
Included in the recommenda­tions
was a proposal for a system
lOf signal lights which could be
;:used to regulate the speed of traf­f
ic on the campus and in town.
"The lights would be controlled by
one master timer which could be
set to allow cars to travel at
optimum speeds for efficient traf­fic
movement. Lights on the cor­ners
of Mell and Thach and Dun­can
and Thach on the . campus
Lwould be included in this system.
It was suggested that the sec­tion
of Mell street directly be­tween
Ross Hall and the Military
Building be closed to traffic.
Large numbers of pedestrians
cross at this point and by routing
cars around the section traffic
flow will be improved, says Mr.
Shrader.
Certain long range-solutions for
the parking problems were dis­cussed
in the report. Any change
in the campus parking set-up will
have to come through a student-faculty
committee appointed by
Dr. Draughon, says Rosser.
With reference* to things that
can be done to relieve the pres­ent
situation Rosser said, "Im­mediate
action can be taken by
students and faculty alike by
leaving their cars at home when­ever
possible and by not moving
their cars between classes un­less
absolutely essential. We all
must realize that our plight is
not as bad as it may seem. Four
or five minutes walking will
solve any parking difficulty and
this can't be beat anywhere."
Also mentioned in the report
were a number of other proposals
not directly affecting the campus.
Street widening was suggested for
Gay, Glenn, and Magnolia east of
Gay.
'Glass Managerie'

Neely Inlow, Clanton, as Tom,

1100 Pint Quota
Set For Yearly
Campus Blood Drive
This year's All-Campus Blood
Drive, to be'held Feb. 14, will
have a quota of 1100 pints. Blood
will be received between 9 a.m.
and 4 p.m. in the Student Union
Ballroom. All of the blood receiv­ed
will be used exclusively in Au­burn
and Lee County.
There will be no diet or smok­ing
restrictions placed on the
donors. In addition students who
give blood will be excused from
class for two hours. Excuses for
this purpose have. been approved
by the Council of Deans.
All students in good health are*
urged to donate their blood. The
qualifications are that an indivi­dual
have normal temperature,
hemoglobin content, and blood
pressure; girls must weight at
least 110 pounds.
Any Auburn student, or im­mediate
family member, who may
at some time require a transfus­ion
is entitled to the Red Cross
.blood free of charge. In such an
event, however, there is a fee for
hospital services rendered.
To insure an adequate supply of
blood, the Red Cross has taken
the lead in establishing regional
programs for collecting, processing,
and storing blood and making it
available to the recipient without
cost. Since 1948 the Red Cross has
collected over 16,000,000 pints of
this valuable substance as an aid
to modern medicine, and countless
lives have been saved through its
use.

Library Considers
Extension Of Hours
To Help Meet Need
, Extension of hours to help meet
student needs is now under con­sideration
by the college library,
says Mr. Clyde Cantrell, director
of libraries.
A library staff committee is
studying the situation and expects
to present a proposed program
within the next few days.
•Indications have shown that
stttdents need longer hours for
study at the library, reports Mr.
Cantrell. He also requested that
students genuinely interested, in
the problem tell the desk attend­ant
_what hours they would like to
have the library remain open.
This would help the staff in for­mulating
a more 'effective pro­gram
and one more desirable to
the students.
With regard to the study no*w
being made Mr. Cantrell stated
that "Insofar as our funds and
staff will permit we shall do all
in our power to provide the serv­ices
which are needed by the stu­dent
body."
Some increase in open hours
has already been made. During the
fail quarter the library extended
its hours to include Friday night
until 9:30 and Saturday until 4
p.m. This increase amounts to
four and a half hours a week.
Duke Ellingt on's
To Climax Greek
Musical
Week
Genius
Feb. 18
Call it what you wish, America's foremost modern com­poser,
America's genius of modern music, music no other
band can play, or creator of a new vogue in modern music,
it all adds up to be Duke Ellington.
The Duke will bring to a climax one of the most success­ful
Greek Weeks ever planned for
Auburn. Feb. 18 marks the big day
for Ellington and his incomparable
'(orchestra on the API campus.
r Beginning the aftiSrnoon with a
concert at four, Duke will piece
together five trumpets, five saxa-phones,
three trombones, piano,
guitar, all the ingredients needed
to field one of the best bandstands
in the country.
Duke, always seeking to conquer
new fields, became the first big
leader to "invade" Carnegie Hall,
setting a fashion which has since
seen "jazz" welcomed in long­hair
surroundings from Newport
to the Hollywood Bowl. At his
1943 Carnegie debut Ellington un-vielcd
his first long work, "Black,
Brown and Beige," which he sub­titled
a "Tone Parallel to the His­tory
of the Negro in America."
"Every year since then, Duke has
^-returned to Carnegie Hall and
teremiered a major work. In 1955
it was "Night Creature," a com­position
which has earned the
highest compliments from the
critics.
Unique among bandleaders as
a world-famous composer, Duke
is also unique among composers
as one whose works — whether
three minutes long or forty-three
minutes long—have universal ap­peal.
"There's no longhair music
and^ no jazz music," Duke says,
"there's just music."
Duke and his music and his
orchestra have been, from the be­ginning,
a package of talent im­possible
to duplicate or imitate,
although the ranks of Ellington's
imitators grow from year to year.
As a result, Duke has always been
a big boxoffice attraction. Popu­larity?
Duke's itinerary calls for
80 concerts a year.
It has been claimed that he
contributed more to modern mus­ic,
in originality, melodic material,
and arranging technique, than any
other contemporary. His songs are
as fresh today as the day they
were written. Look at some of
those — "Solitude," "Sophisticated
Lady," "Mood Indigo," "Don't You
Know I Care?," "I'm Beginning to
See the Light," "Blank and Tan
Fantsay," and many, many others,
including one that will always
stand up there, "Don't Get Around
Much Anymore."
One of the first to recognize
Ellington's creative genius was the
immortal George Gershwin, who
used to sit for houls listening to
the Duke's recordings.
Perhaps one of the greatest tri­butes
to Ellington's originality is
that so many have tried to imi­tate
him. Now we are lucky to
have this great orchestra leader
perform for us and when we leave
his concert and dance, we may be
saying what Jackie Gleason had
to say- about the Duke — "There
should be a better word than
music-tapestries, perhaps, a blend­ing
of vivd colors — to describe
what Ellington writes."

Entertainment Opportunity Knocks
^
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
- Probably the outstanding entertain­ment
opportunity of the year is knocking
at' our door tonight with the appearance of
the Ballet Theatre, one of the best known
Of American ballet.companies. The troupe
Has performed all over the world and has
won wide acclaim from critics.
. The performance tonight will be one
of the high points of the" Lecture and Con­cert
Series presented up until now. Very
rarely do we have the chance to see so
talented a group on our own stage.
:Many big name stars of the ballet world
Will be on hand. Talents such as those of
Nora Kaye, classical ballerina, hailed by
critics as technically magnificent, musi­cally
aware, richly poetic, and truly in the
great tradition, will be displayed. Danish
born-Erik Bruhn, sometimes called ballet's
"Great Dane", will demonstrate his ability
to dance and act his roles with great sen­sitivity.
Present also will be John Kriza
to dance the role of the ruthless killer in
"Billy the Kid" and a gob in "Fancy Free".
All together there will be more than a hun­dred
in the company, a troupe, ^tudded
with ballet greats.
Students who have never before had
the opportunity to see the .classic ballet in
its true sense may do so tonight. In the
selections being presented one can find in­tense
drama as well as light comedy, the
classical as well as the modern. The Bal­let
Theatre gives us a chance to see the
ballet at its best, a ballet that proved a
thrilling experience to sceptics abroad,
one that matched Europe's finest.
This is hot just another show coming to
Auburn. This is ballet at its finest, and it
costs nothing extra to see it. As a part
of the Lecture and Concert Series the cost
of bringing the Ballet Theatre to Auburn •
is covered by funds obtained from the stu­dent
activities fees. The expenses for this
performance are probably greater than for
any other show yet presented. Every stu­dent
here has helped to pay for it. Now
we can see it at no added cost. The only
thing necessary for admission is an ID
card. "I saw you foul him—THAT'S a FOUL."
Fund Raiser Needed
Auburn needs a high level staff mem­ber
who will be concerned exclusively
With seeking gift funds for the school.
This post is no novelty. At many schools
-^especially private schools—staffs are em­ployed
for this purpose. Now that Auburn
is financially neglected by the state by
which it is supposed to be supported, it is
time for us to get out and ask for plant
equipment and scholarship funds—even
for teaching funds. ^
One problem that confronts us here is
the fact that we are not located in a large
city where manufacturing interests may
be readily approached. 1 Another problem
of asking for gifts is that we supposedly
have a source of income^—the state.
. Nevertheless, Auburn needs to ask for
gift funds as much as any private institu­tion.
The challenge of growing education­al
needs arid a growing student body has
not been Mequately met by the state.
Howe^r, federal tax laws have en­couraged
| | | j formation'of charitable foun­dations
such, as the Bradley Foundation,
the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford
Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, and
many other similar pools of money set
aside for gifts to worthy causes.
Our task now is to demonstrate to the
directors of these foundations and to oth­ers
who control gift funds how their money
could be wisely spent at API. This is no
small job, for even though foundations and
businesses are interested in" presenting
helpful gifts, they must be convinced that
their action is taken with wisdom and good
judgment. Therefore, the one who repre­sents
Auburn in seeking to interest philan­thropists
should be able to do this as his"
primary duty, and should not be given
these duties as a sideline to another staff
job.
Rich dividends should accrue to the
state from the relatively small investment
necessary for maintaining such a staff po­sition,
for not only would the faculty and
students benefit, but the state would also
enjoy the betterment of its citizens.
Federal Aid To Education
In recent years the phrase,-feder^^id
to education, has become familiar to most
of us. For some time, Congress has been
pondering the question of all out entrance
in to the field of aiding public schools.
Many problems stood in the way of
federal aid. One was the question of aid
to parochial schools. Another far reach­ing
question was that of federal control of
thought. Now the only hindrance discuss­ed
publicly is the issue 6f segregation.
Alabama's own Senator Lister Hill js
chairman of the Senate committee on La­bor,
Health, Education, and Public Wel­fare.
Through his committee will go the
bills designed to enter the federal govern­ment
into educational fields in a much
larger program. These bills were neces­sarily
dropped in the last congress. And
they are said to be destined not to pass in ;
the present congress.

Member—Associate Collegiate Press
Clayton Powell of New York has said that
he feels it his "moral duty" to attempt to
attach amendments barring aid to any
state with segregated public schools. He
has the strength to pass these amendments,
too, if they ever come to a vote. Northern
politicians fear the strength of the Yankee
Negro vote, and they will support such
amendments.
These same congressmen know, how­ever,
that Senators from all over the South
will join together to fillibuster in order to
keep such amended bills from passing.
Southern schools would be put just that
much further back should the rest of the
nation receive large sums of educational
funds.
Meanwhile, the bills go necessarily un-pushed
and unpassed. And the schools suf­fer
the consequences. We question Negro
Congressman Powell's "moral duty" to de­prive
the schools of the entire nation in
an effort to carry his point. We wonder
how his conscience can let him look out on
a-nation whose schools are being held back
because of his insistence in trying, to da-prive
the people of a region of that nation.
Tribute To TV
Last Sunday night at 10:00 the usually
crowded Bradley Lounge in the Union
Building was_empty of people. The radio
was still there; so were the magazines,
games, newspapers, and furnishings. But
the lounge had suddenly lost its attraction!
What had happened? The TV set was
•out of order. It will soon be repaired, and
the crowds will return, but the sudden ab­sence
of people led us to wonder in awe
at the popularity of our "new-fangled" en­tertainment
medium. Certainly we have :.
here a vivid example of the attraction of j
TV. - ' ••
Who can say what will happen when
everyone converts to color TV? Will our
traffic problems diminish as everyone
stays home to watch TV twelve hours a
day?/Will'the twenty hour work week be­come
a reality as automation releases a
large majority of the population for TV
watching? Will television stars run for
president?
There is really no end to the possibili­ties
that might occur—that is, if you have
the proper type imagination. To say the
least the influence of TV on our lives has
increased and is increasing. Yes, someday
,we may even be able to attend all. our
classes through TV, receiving credit ac­cording
to the hours registered on a time
gauge on our sets.

Reflections On REW
One of the speakers we were
privileged to have on the campus '
for REW was Dr: Thomas Mc-
Dill, Professor of Pastoral Care
and Counseling at Columbia Se­minary
in Decatur, Ga.
In one of his addresses, Dr. Mc-
Dill illustrated the tension of to­day's
college students as compar­ed
with those in time past. In
the period after the First World
,War, and before the German ag- '
gression of the '30's, those for­tunate
enough to get to college
were looking to tomorrow. They
had definite plans for their lives:
marr;age, a family, their occupa­tions,
and other dreams for the
future. They were really look­ing
forward.
Ever since the Second World
War, this "forward look" has
changed to the "present look."
The college student of 1946 look­ed
only to the time when he
would get out of the service.
When the Korean Police action'-,
was begun, the tension and anxi­ety
of college students gathered''
even more momentum.
Unfortunately, this tension Is
still mounting. Almost without
BY NORTON CATER
exception, all of the college men
of today will have to put in some
time in the service. Many people
eite this as the reason for increas­ing
anxiety. Some say, "We've a
right to be anxious. Look what
we have ahead of us."
t
But shouldn't we be abla to
take this period of military serv­ice
in stride? True, most of us
won't remain in the service, but
each of us can get something out
of it that we probably wouldn't
get anywhere else. Perhaps we
should change our view of this
two to four-year "course". Let's
look on it as a new experience
and get our money's worth out
of it.
Then there's the matter of our
lives after the service. Let's be
planning ahead to that, too. But
not with anxiety or hopelessness.
Look ahead, with faith, to what
you want to ask of life.
' 1fDo npt be anxious of tomor­row.
Look at theMilies of the field;
they toil not, neither do they spin.
But Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these."

medium proved very acceptable
to the audience. Its possibilities
were fully exploited by the cast.
Ellen Ward as Amanda was
brilliant. Mrs. Ward gives a most
exciting performance. Her pre­vious
acting experience puts her
in a spotlight all to herself. She
is tragedy, beauty, happiness, and .
hope personified.
Neely Inlow is very convincing
.as Tom. Although he is a little
rough in a few spots, he counter­balances
his performance with
fine acting.
Laura is played by Sue Hussey,
who does a very-fine job just by
being present. She over-gesticu­lates,
but she really doesn't have
much to say since she plays the
part of a very shy girl. The thing-to
watch Miss Hussey for is her
eyes. By her eyes, you see Lau­ra!
•
The part of Tom O'Connor is
portrayed by Bill Bundy, who is
exactly what the role calls for—
self , confidence, optimism, and
sparkle.
"The Glass Menagerie" is very
enjoyable and is well worth the
time. It is one of the finer plays
presented here at Auburn.
SMOKE SIGNALS
A Solution -•Seceed
BY CECIL STOKES
Throw away your draft cards,
'burn those income tax forms, and
forget that sales tax. Here is a
proposal for Alabama that makes
all of these annoyances unneces­sary.
. /
We must admit that this isn't an
original idea, but it hasn't been
tried for nearly a hundred years.
Yes, the Yankees lucked up and
whipped, our great-grandfathers
when they tried it, but the situ­ation
now is more favorable to
the home team.
Alabama could become an in­dependent
nation after cutting
the bureaucratic red-tape that
binds it, and not have to worry
about a; thihg: The governor
could make gestures towards
China, Russia, Georgia or any
other foreign ^interests, and then
be Completely supported by thje
United States government as sb
many other sovereign nations are.
Not only would our new na-
'tion be provided with defense,
money; but would probably also
get more .laid to education, high-'
ways, and. waterways than it pre­sently
does as a state—and ali
without paying a cent.
The federal government would
buy all of our surplus products at
a generous price and give us what
we needed without pay. This
would be. So that the state should
stay oh the western side of the
globe.
Worried about another war be­tween
the States? Forget it, all
Northern troops will be busy in
Mississippi and South Carolina
protecting the F.B.I. and all
Southern soldiers will be called
home to try the same things for **
their own states.
_ No doubt, our plan would have
•the support of our chief execu­tive
fcjjr this would provide him
with his own air force and RE­QUIRE
a consitutional conven­tion.'<

Hear Ye Students! Our Time Has Come!
BY TIM FORD
What with Greek Week, Relig­ious
Emphasis Week, Military
Week and all the many others, it
seems high time that we students
inaugurated our
own "Student
Week." This
would be our
week to howl,
for under Stu­dent
Week
rules, students
would do all the
instructing, and
keep very strict
attendance rec­ords
on the profs (who would be
compelled to attend classes, Sun­days
included, from 4 a.m. until
Jl:17p.m.).
Naturally we would not stop
here. It would also be necessary
for the professors to move into
Magnolia Hall for the duration of
the week; while the student would
add benign "congeniality to the
fireside of his instructor. The stu­dents
would be required to ad­minister
seven scheduled exams
during the week on all subjects
covered since last ground-hog's
day inclusive. Any instructor who
cuts or scores a grade less than
97.163 per cent on any one quiz
will get an automatic letter grade
of "F" for the course and will be
subject to disciplinary action by
the council of Queens (composed
of one coed from each dorm who
has never made a 3.00 average).
Students will have unlimited
use of the "Blue Nose Faculty
Club," which is located somewhere
in the Union Building, and the fac­ulty
will be required to patronize
some other coffee dispensery, as
the Snack Bar in the Union will
be reserved for roulette and other
parlor games. It has been sug­gested
that the Home Ec depart­ment
utilize its profs to prepare
a banquet for the entire student
body which should feature such
rare delicacies as rice topped with
dried squid, Albatross cutlets,
roasted llama with Wildroot
Cream Oil Sauce, delicious Dino­saur
dainties and any other simple
recipes, they could whip up, plus
a complete scrapbook on each
dish.
Each professor, would be given
a term paper assignment to com­plete
and turn in entitled, "How
My Course Is The Only Real
Course On the Campus." We al­so
think it would be advisable to
place a 3:30 p.m. curfew on all
women instructors, requiring them
to sign out to visit needy places
of rest and relief. Naturally, the
coeds would have absolutely no
restrictions placed on them dur­ing
Student Week, for, remember
friend, this is the time when all
tables, chairs, beds and otherwise
are turned—the students run this
show.
Preparations are also being
made for Pop Raines to open a ,
branch store in Ross Square from
the hours of 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. In-,
stead of the regularly scheduled
drill days, we think it advistable
to conduct drill all seven days for
three hours per day. Of course, the
ROTC faculty will be doing all the
drilling and receiving all the de­merits,
but it is good training for
them.
Well Studs (that's short for Stu­dent,
you accent the "u"), these
are/mly a few suggestions. Those
that we are unable to print have
been mimeographed and will be
circulated later in the washrooms.
We would like to hear from you
if you have any up-to-the-minute
ideas on the furtherance of this
worthy cause.
FROM THE ALAMO
Cheers For The Unicorn
BY SAM HOUSTON
Among man's greater cultural
accomplishments is the theatre.
Today the name of Tennessee
Williams ranks among the great­est,
if not at
the pinnacle, of
playrights.
Critics, many
of them, claim
his "The Glass
Menagerie" t o
b e his most
sensitive and
polished work.
This is the pre­sent
effort of
the Auburn Players, now in prog­ress
in Biggin Hall.
To say that Robert Knowles
has done a fine job in directing
and presenting the show would
be an understatement. To use
the language system of Newspeak
in "Brave New World," I'd call
it double-plus-good. That system
used only three superlatives and
that one was the tops. And this
is what Knowles has produced,
the tops.
wwsf
From the standpoint of lighting,
sound, directing, and acting, all
phases rate the highest superla­tive.
Having seen most of the
Players' productions for the past
five years, I can think of nothing
to compare it with, except pos­sibly
"The Crucible." And here
the only aspect to compare is the
quality of acting. "Menagerie"
certainly ranks equal to it in this
way. Since they are two differ­ent
types of plays, they can't be
compared, but the feeling, the
sensitiveness of, each individual
performer for his role is of the
highest degree, t
There simply aren't any finer
college productions.
Ellen Ward stars as the mother,
Amanda. Her absolute under­standing
and grasping of the role
is felt even in the flick of an eye­lash.
It is difficult to imagine
anyone else doing the part after
you've seen her. You may not
know that the mother has been
handled better, but you'll proba­bly
doubt it.
Neely Inlow plays the son,
Tom. This is the finest of his /
several acting jobs at Auburn.
He will have you laughing at the
beginning of a line and shivering
at the end of it.
As the daughter, Laura, t he
charming Sue Hussey becomes a
drab, mouse-haired cripple girl
afraid of her shadow. You'll ne­ver
recognize her as the sarcastic
secretary of "The Man Who Came
To Dinner."
Bill Bundy is the. most believe-able
"gentleman calletr" you e>er
saw. His role as the innocent foil
of family plans, which brings the
play to a shattering climax,
leaves you almost hating society.
There are three more perform­ances
yet to go, Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday nights at 8:15. It is
done in-the-round, which brings
you right onto the stage and has
the actors practically walking on
your feet.
If you've missed it, see it, be­cause
you may never see a college
play this good again.
PURE GEMS
• Where To Go - Stag Or Drag
BY BILL KLEMM
Tired of going to the same old
places on every date? Since the
movies, the Casino, or the War-
Eagle are the customary dat­ing
spots, you
may have con­cluded
there is
nothing else. On
t h e contrary,
tor those of you
who would like
to do something
different for a
change, a little
research has r e ­vealed
the fol­lowing:
ICE SKATING—The skating
rink on Victory Drive in Colum­bus,
Ga., affords an exciting and
unusual form of entertainment.
In fact, if you skate like most pe­ople,
• it will be hilarious. Cost is
$1, including skate rental.
DRIVE-IN — For that short
snack or coffee, etc., try Stoker's
on the Auburn-Opelika Highway.
TENNIS —The courts next to
Cliff Hare show quite a few va­cancies.
And this form of diver­sion
happens to be cost free (ex­cluding
scuffed tennis balls and
rubbing alcohol).
DINING—The Holiday Inn, a
nation-wide project of two Mem­phis
enterpeneurs, will provide
Auburn students with the ultimate
in fine foods and modern atmos­phere.
Located on the Birming­ham
Highway at the junction of
highway 147, the dining room
should be open very soon.
BOWLING—The Tiger Bowling
Center on East Magnolia is an­other
place to spend an enjoyable
evening. Cost is twenty-five cents
a game; shoes rent for a dime.
BASKETBALL GAMES—There
are five home games left this
mobth. They are: Tech (Feb. 7),
Florida (Feb. 11), Georgia (Feb.
13), Tenn. (Feb: 25), and Vandy
(Feb. 27).
GOLF—The 18-hole course at
the Saugahatchee Country Club
is a challenge to any good golfer.
For ' we duffers it is an en­joyable
way to spend those empty
afternoon hours. Cost is around
one dollar, which entitles you to a
full day's play ($1.55 on week­ends).
INDOOR SWIMMING — The
Alumni' Gym pool is open every
Tuesday and Wednesday night, 7
to 9 p.m.
And if you can't find anything
in these ideaS that would be en- O |
tertaining, try Biggio!

How To Fight The Vices
BY HAL MORGAN
We hear a lot of talk about vice
in these fast times. Every day in
bold headlines we read of crime,
violence, and sin running rampant
throughout our cities. Most of the
pulp magazines feature such
stories as "Cities of Sin" and the
like.
Generally, there are considered
to be three main vices—tobacco,
alcohol, and women. Little need
be said about the first two and ab­solutely
nothing about the third.
The average male college student
has been introduced to all three.
However, I would like to suggest
that the possibility does exisit that
there is a fourth vice known to a
privileged (?) few on the Auburn
campus. A vice which is gradual­ly
worming its way into small
groups of disillusioned students.
A vice, which, if allowed to grow
and spread, could cause a break­down
of the whole educational
system. Studying!!
Probably you've seen victims of
this malicious habit. Its effects on
the human body are easily recog­nized.
Some more noticeable
symptons are writer's cramp, bags
under the eyes, arched spine, ink
stains on the fingers, chronic com­plaining
about headaches, vocabu­lary
filled with 16 letter words,
and a superiority complex in
class.
There is some hope, however,
that 'this new vice can be stopped
before it.advances too far. The
best possible way for a person
to protect himself is never to start
studying. This way he doesn't feel
that he has to "keep up the good
work" as he hasn't done any to
start with.
Even after a person starts study­ing,
if addiction to the vice is not
too far advanced, it is possible to
stop. This is merely a matter of
a little will power.
It is the extremely advanced ,
cases that are the cause of the *
most trouble and these are the
most difficult to cure. If you find
yourself in this class, I suggest
that you seek the help of your
roommates and friends.
Have them tie you in bed some
morning so you miss class and be­gin
to get the feel of it. Ask them
to burn your books and notes. /
Throw away your pens and pen­cils.
Stock up on the latest copies
of ','Playboy" and "Esquire." Force
yourself to go to some light movies.
Make the Casino your second
home. A complete change in at-'
mosphere and routine is all that is
necessary for an effective cure.
In order to rid Auburn of this
vice every single student must
take it upon himself to get rid of
the habit. After all, we're here to
get-an education, not to study.

Important Atomic Discovery Made
Here At Auburn By Dr. F. Allison
An important discovery to the atomic age was made here
at Auburn by Dr. Fred Allison. With his colleagues, Dr.
Allison developed the magneto-optic method of analysis
which led to the discovery of heavy hydrogen, now known as
deuterium, which has played an important role in nuclear
physics.'
By means of the magneto-optic
system, Dr. Allison, and
his colleagues, were also able to
announce evidence for two un­discovered
elements, numbers 85
and 87. By means of the mag­neto-
optic system, Dr. Allison
has published many research pa­pers
of his woi'k.
Dr. Allison received his B A.
at the Emory and Henry College.
His graduate work was done at
John Hopkins University, the
University of Chicago and at the
University of Virginia where he
received his master's and doc­tor's
degrees.
After completing his studies in
1922, Dr. Allison came to Auburn
as head of the Physics Depart­ment.
He retained this position
until his retirement in 1953. From
1949 he also served as Dean of
the Graduate School and for sev­eral
years, with his other duties,
he was director of the Auburn
Research Foundation.
After his retirement in 1953, he
accepted an invitation to return
to Emory and Henry College for
two years. Following this the
University of Texas and the For­eign
Operations Association sent
Dr. Allison and his wife to Bang­kok,
Thailand, to serve as consul­tant
to the physics department at
Chulalonglorn University. This
assignment made possible an air-flight
around the globe, stopping
at many of the important cities
of the world.
Upon their return from Thai­land,
Dr. and Mrs. Allison rees­tablished
their permanent resi­dence
in Auburn.
The Physics Department has
permitted Dr. Allison to use his
former research laboratory in
continuing his activities on some
uncompleted work.

Kentucky Concentrates On Auburn;
Rupp Aids Basketball's Development
When Auburn's basketball forces come out on t h e floor
of the Montgomery Coliseum Saturday night, they will be
p r e p a r i n g to do b a t t l e with cage troops, manipulated by a
v e r i t i b l e wizzard of hardwood knowledge. As t h e University
of Kentucky's brochure modestly states, with considerable
factual basis, "When the sport of basketball is mentioned today, a
direct chain of thought eventually will bring out a name which has
become virtually synonymous with the game—Adolph Rupp."
Rupp Has probably done more than any oth­er
one man to popularize and improve the sport
in the nation and especially in the Southeastern
Conference.
For years basketball was just another win­ter
sport in the SEC and rated only slightly
more consideration than tiddledywinks, check­ers,-
or chess as far as athletic scholarships were
concerned. SEC members were happy to go
their winless way during cage season.
Rupp's influence was certainly not so great
that it effected an overnight improvement in the
league,1 He had begun his career at Kentucky-in
193&, some three years before the formation
of the SEC, and the early conference teams were
nothing to brag about, but he was going to make
an indelible impression.
The rise of scoring marks might be taken as an example of in­creasing
SEC cage quality, although scoring has risen • throughout
the country during the last twenty years.
In 1933,, Kentucky won the first SEC Tournament (now discon­tinued*)
with a 48-47 victory over Mississippi State, but this was a
relatively high-scoring game. Florida opened the same meet the
next year by surprising., the Wildcats 38-32; next edging Vandy,
24-23; and then, dropping a 41-25 decision to Alabama in the final
game. The preceding year Auburn had "walloped" this same sun­shine
squad 16-11 in a regular game.
Scoring Barrier Broken . . .
Rarely did even the best teaapg score 60 points in this "slow
breaking" era. It was not until 1938, when Ole Miss whacked LSU,
,68-40, that the 60 mark was surpassed in SEC Tournament play.
During regular season games, a Rupp-guided-quintet first broke
the 60 point barrier in the opening tilt of 1931 with a 67-19 victory
over Georgetown, but it must have been unusual because they had
to wait until the next winter to do it again. Once more Georgetown
was the victim, 66-24.
Rupp's introduction of the controlled "fast break" was the key
to the climb, in scoring. It also helped basketball become a real
crowd-pleaser. Many conference teams learned about this new
innovation the hard way. The 1946 Tourney was a good example—
the Wildcats murdered Yanderbilt, 98-29, and Auburn, 84-18.
The Money Angle . . . ?•
Kentucky's style of basketball was also a huge financial suc­cess.
In 1950, the huge Kentucky Memorial Coliseum, seating 11,-
500 (1,500 more than the Montgomery Coliseum) was completed.
The Wildcats' average home attendance is about 8,000, which means
frankly—much money.
By 1950, almost every member of the SEC had realized the
value of basketball and was emphasizing it to varying degrees.
Vanderbilt and Alabama began all-out programs. The Commodores
brought in Bob Polk, who has jumped them to national prominence,
while the Tide hired a real ball-of-fire, Johnny Dee.
Dee did such a good job with basketball, that Alabama which
was once thought of as a grid power, is now mainly considered as
a cage attraction.
The other SEC schools have now increased the number of
scholarships given so that the South produces its full share of
powerful hardwood aggregations.
j fourth place, . but their, overall
mark is only 6-6.
Kentucky was the nation's
number three team in last, week's
Associated Press poll, but last
Saturday's 81-73 loss to Vander­bilt
should drop them in the
standings. They now have 10 vic­tories
and three defeats, including
a 4-1 SEC mark. This puts the
Wildcats in the conference's
third spot, just one notch above
Auburn.
Georgia Tech does not even
appear in the balloting for t h e
National rankings, but they are
Eifth in the SEC. They are 3-3
in loop play and 7-6 overall.
The Wildcats boast the confer­ence's
number three rebounder in
Bob Burrow, a boy who is also
among the top ten scorers. A 6'7"
senior center, Burrow has been
hitting at a 19.3 clip.
Burrow is backed up by guards
Gerry Calvert, 5'11", and Vernon
Hatton, 6'3"; and forwards Jerry
Bird, 6'6", and Phil Grawneyer,
6'8". '
The Yellow Jackets have a
well-rounded aggregation, built
around 6'6" center Dick Lenholt.
Guards are Joe Helms, 5'10", and
Bobby Kimmel, 6'3", and for­wards
are Lenny Cohen 6'6", and
Bill Cohen, 6'6".
The Kentucky game will be.
preceded by a freshman tilt at
6:30 p.m. while the Georgia Tech
affair will be at 7:30 p.m.
Auburn Grapplers
Take Maryville,
Look To Vandy
The Auburn Tigers' wrestling
crew will engage in their first
meet on their own "home ground
when they tackle the Vanderbilt
Commodores Thursday night at
7:30 p.m. in the Sports Arena. The
meet was originally scheduled for
Saturday, Feb. 4, but because of
the Auburn-Kentucky basketball
game the date was moved up.
The Tigers have met Vandy 18
times over a span of 9 years and
have never lost a dual meet to
them.
Last Saturday the Plainsmen
won their fourth match when
they upended Maryville College
by a score of 20-7. One of the
highlights of the match occured
when Walter Keller of the 123
pound class battled Maryvjlle's
Jerry Waters to a draw. Waters
was last year's Southeastern In­tercollegiate
Champion and had
to come up with 2 points in; the
last 10 seconds of the match to
even gain a tie. ;
Complete results of the Mary­ville
match were:
123 pounds—Walter Keller, Au­burn,
Jerry Waters, Maryville,

Spring Football Practice Starts On 7th;
Eighty Candidates Expected By Jordan
By Bryant Castellow
Plainsman Sports Writer
, Auburn's Head Football Coach Ralph Jordan has an­nounced
that football for 1956 will officially commence Feb.
7, when spring football practice begins.
J o r d a n expects approximately 80 candidates, t h e majority
being sophomores. The nine graduating seniors — tackles
Frank D'Agostino and M. L. Brac­ket^
center Bob Scarbrough;
quarterback Bill Burbank; left-halfs
Fob James, Johnny Adams,
and Jimmy Powell; righthalf Al­ton
Shell; and fullback Joe Chil­dress,
leave a corps of. 14 return­ing
lettermen to build the 1956
Auburn football machine around.
Returning lettermen are ends
Jerry Elliott, ' Jimmy Phillips,
and Jerry Sansom; tackles Ben
Preston and Paul Terry; guards
Earnest Danjean, Chuck Maxime,
Tim Baker, and Jeff Weekley;
center Frank Reeves; quarter­backs
Howell Tubbs and Jimmy
Cook; righthalf Bobby Hoppe, and
fullback Jim Walsh.
Finding relief and starters 1 at
tackle produces one of the main
worries in the line. Preston
(215) and Terry (200) are re­turning
lettermen, but there isn't
the proper depth demanded by
college ball below these two.

The other day as I was walking down the street picking up
tinfoil (Philip Morris, incidentally, has the best tinfoil, which
is not surprising when^you consider that they have the best
cigarettes, whicfais not Surprising when you consider that they'
buy the best tobaccos and the best paper and put them*together
with skill and loving care and rush them to your tobacco counter,
fresh and firm and loaded with gentle smoking pleasure to lull
the palate and beguile the senses and shoo the blues) the other
day, I say, as I was walking down the street picking up tinfoil
(I have, incidentally, the second largest ball of tinfoil in our
family. My brother Eleanor's is bigger—more than four miles
in diameter—but, of course, he is taller than I.) the other day,
as I was saying, while walking down the street picking up tinfoil,
I passed a campus and right beside it, a movie theatre which
specialized in snowing foreign films. "Hmmmm," I said to my­self,
"I wonder how come so many theatres which specialize in
showing foreign films, are located near campuses 1"
And the answer came right back to me: "Because foreign
films are full of culture, art, and esoterica, and where is culture
more rife, art more rampant, and esoterica more endemic than
on a campus? Nowhere, that's where!"
.••• tfeteef* hopino Me'/ltum batkitttod WQM1l«$
I hope that all of you have been taking advantage of the
foreign film theatre near your campus. Here you will find no
simple-minded Hollywood products — full of treacly sentiment
and machine-made bravura. Here you will find life itself — life
in all its grimness, its poverty, its naked, raw passion!
Have you, for instance, seen the recent French import, LB
Jardin de Ma Tante ("The Kneecap"), a savage and uncom­promising
story of a man named Glaude Parfum, whose con­suming
ambition is to get a job as a meter reader with t he
Paris water department? But he is unable, alas, to afford the
flashlight one needs for this'position. His wife, Bon-Bon, sells
•.her hair to a wigmaker and buys him a flashlight. Then, alas,
Claude discovers that one also requires a leatherette bow tie.
This time his two young daughters, Caramel and Nougat, sell
their hair to t he wigmaker. So Claude has his leatherette bow-tie,
but now, alas, his flashlight battery is burned out and the whole
family, alas, is bald.
Or have you seen the latest Italian masterpiece, La Donna E
Mobile ("I Ache All Over"), a heart shattering tale of a boy and
his dog? Malvolio, a Venetian lad of nine, loves his little dog
with every fibre of his being. He has one great dream: to enter
the dog in the annual dog show at the Doge's palace. But that,
alas, requires an entrance fee, and Malvolio, alas, is penniless.
However, he saves and scrimps and steals and finally gets enough '
together to enter the dog in the show. The dog, alas, comes in
twenty-third. Malvolio sells him to a vivisectionist.
Or have you seen the new Japanese triumph, Kibutzi-San
("The Radish"), a pulse-stirring historical romance about
Yamoto, a poor farmer, and his daughter Ethel who are accosted
by a warlord on their way to market one morning ? The warlord
cutg Yamoto in half with his samurai sword and runs off with
Ethel.,When Yamoto recovers, he seeks out Ethel's fiance,
Chutzpah, and together they find the warlord and kill him. But,
alas, the warlord was also a sorcerer and he has whimsically
turned Ethel into a whooping crane. But loyal Chutzpah takes
her home where he feeds her fish heads for twenty years and
keeps homncr she'll turn hack into a> woman. She never does. Alas.

Tigers Whack Jax
In lax Genfesf
At Sports Arena
Apparently looking ahead to
the coming clash against Ken­tucky,
the Auburn Tigers stum­bled
their way past an aggressive
band of Jacksonville Stale
Gamecocks, 73-64, at the Sports
Arena last Saturday night.
The Tigers gained an early lead
and were never overtaken, but a
combination of poor ball hand­ling
and Jax hustle kept them
from making the game the rout
that was expected.
Center Bill McGriff, who was a
doubtful starter because of a
pinched muscle, led the scoring
with 17 points. Kay Slayden
backed him up with 15 points and
a fine floor .game.
Forward Jim O'Donnell put the
Plainsmen in good shape with
six quick points right after the
tip-off, but the aggressive, Game­cocks,
led by guards Buddy Mayes
and Joe Ingram, managed to stay-within
striking distance until the
latter part of the second quarter.
The score at half time read 43-
28, but the customary third quar­ter
lapse by the Tigers put them
in immediate danger. It wasn't
until late in the final period that
Auburn sewed up the contest and
saved face.
Auburn outscored Jacksonville
27-18 on field goals, but the
Gamecocks hit on 28 out of 39
free throw attempts, with the
Tigers scoring on 21 out of 27.
