Afabamians Cast Ballot Dec. 6
On Amendments To Provide Funds
By Jim Waldrup
Plainsman Staff Writer
On December 6, Alabama voters will vote upon a special
school tax on incomes, proposed in what has been referred
to as the Goodwyn Act. Since Alabama's income tax is au­thorized
by the state constitution any change proposed in this
tax must be referred to the voters. •
Many people in the state who
Goodwyn Plan
are opposed to the amendment
are not only opposed to it because
the revenue will come directly
4. from their' pocket, but also that
the tax might be increased,, that
it will not be put to use only for
educational benefits, and that it
is not necessary for the mainte­nance
of the school system.
By the structure of the Good­wyn
Act and the present school
conditions of the state, these be­liefs
are disproved.
If passed, the proposed tax
would amount to an estimated
,$29,000,000. More than 900,000 in­dividuals
will pay this tax, while
only 167,000 pay the present tax.
If this constitutional amend­ment
is not approved by the peo­ple
the present school appropria­tions
will be short $29,000,000. It
will then be necessary for the
Legislature to be iconvened in
special session to provide addi­tional
revenue, if the . regular
nine months term is to be main­tained.
Only through the vote of the
people on a constitutional amend­ment
proposed by the legislature
can a.tax rate be increased. The
rates of the Goodwyn Act are
maximum and may be lowered by'
the Legislature, BUT NOT IN­CREASED.
The members of the House un­animously
passed this Act oh
July 26, 1955. after a study of the
state educational system.
Although the tax will be due
January 1, 1956, the tax may be
paid in four equal installments
by September 30, 19561 The school
tax on the 1956 income will be
paid on a basis similar to the
Federal income tax.
The school tax will not take
the place of the present income
tax, but may be deducted from
Federal Income Tax returns. An
increase in state taxes ' c an result
in a decrease in Federal in a de­crease
in Federal' taxes. In the
higher tax brackets, the Federal
government will absorb a good
portion of the school tax.
Civic, religious, and non-profit
organizations will be exempt
from the proposed amendment.
• Salaried people will pay the
tax on the basis of their total in­come.
Those self-employed will be
taxed on gross income' minus
total expenses.
Greater Co-ed Enrollment Causes Need
For Additional Housing Facilities Here
ji'.fc) By Gene Williams
Plainsman Staff Writer
Auburn's growth and expansion,is necessitating new
housing for API's growing co-ed enrollment.
There is a total of 1762 co-eds enrolled at Auburn for
the Fall Quarter, 1955; and there are 1172 co-eds living in
the dormitories. These figures were obtained from the;Office
of the Registrar and from the office of Miss La Margaret
Turnipseed, Head of Women's Housing.
Students, Faculty
Can Vote Absentee
On Goodwyn Plan
To cast an absentee ballot in
Alabama, the voter must be qua­lified
and duly registered. Such
a voter goes in person to .the
Register in his county courthouse.
Here he receives his ballot, marks
it in the presence of the Register,
seals it and leaves it there.
On election day, absentee bal­lots
are turned over to the elec­tion
officials in each county.
They are counted with regular
votes and are included in the,cer­tified
total .result.
A person who is 21 years of
age, but has not registered, may
do so on the first arid third Mon­days
of each month in every
county and at any time in Jef­ferson,
Mobile and Montgomery
counties. However, no registra­tions
can be received within 10
days before an election.
Poll taxes must be paid by Feb­ruary
1 for voting in any elec­tion
during the following year;
therefore, those who have not
paid their poll tax for 1955 may
not vote in this election. Any
voter who has become 21 since
February 1, 1955, owes no poll
tax for this year. If he meets
all other qualifications, he may
vote simply by registering.
Qualifications for voters in Ala­bama
are: 21 years of age; one
year's residence in the state, six
months' residence in the county,
three months' residence in the
ward, arid paid-td-da'te poll tax'.
The difference between these
two numbers represents t he
number of students who live off
campus in private homes; the
number who live in auxiliary
housing; the number who are
Auburn residents; and the num­ber
who commute to classes.
, According to figures obtained
from the Office of Women's
Housing, there are 192 co-eds liv­ing
off campus in private homes;
there are 39 co-eds living in aux­iliary
housing; and there are 51
triples in dormitory rooms which
are usually doubles.'
The co-eds living in private
homes are required to locate
their own housing. Miss Katha­rine
Cater, Dean of Women, ap­proves
the type of housing only
after receiving written permis­sion
from the girl's parents, say­ing
that their daughter may live
at a specific place; and after in­terviewing
the property owner. .
Girls livirig off campus are ex­pected
to abide by the regular
college rules and regulations.
They are accepted only for regis-

Out-of-state students can en

of a room in the fall. Ex.
ceptions are made if either parent
is an alumnus. Then the girl
may enter any quarter.
The Office of Women's Hous­ing
accepts more applications
than can be accommodated. Even
under this policy, applications for
fall quarter, 1955, were closed
by the first of April, 1955. Ap
proximately 250 applicants were
turned away after this date ge-cause
of lack of housing.
New API Library Hinges On Bi
By Terry White
Plainsman Staff Writer
A new one and three-quarter
million dollar library is in the of­fering
for API under prospective
amendments number 1 and 2 ac­cording'
to Mr. Clyde Cantrell,
head of the Libraries.
Auburn's present library, which
was built in 1907, is the smallest
library of any major institution of
of its size in the southeast. It is
not adequate for the great in­creases
in enrollment which Au­burn
has had in the past years.
There is not sufficent room for
students, books, or staff in API's
library. It is, due to the cramped
space and insufficient facilities, so
badly arranged that it is difficult
for a student to look at books on
any given subject.
"It is absolutely indispensible
that Auburn purchase more books
if the library is to support and
enforce the teaching and research
of the institution," said Mr. Can­trell.^
•
During the depression years
scarcely any books were bought
and a tremendous backlog of old­er
publications is needed as well as
the current literature to supple
ment the modern Auburn curicu-lum.
The proposed new library build'
jng will seat from 3' to 4 times as
many students as can the present
facilities. It will' provide better
study and working quarters for
the students and for the staff.
The library has an urgent need
for more staff members who are
trained in the major areas of con-sentration
here at API and who
know the chief periodicals in the
various fields and can work with
the faculty to get the books needed
for the many courses.

Auburn Faces Crisis
nt
\ By Marie Peinhardt
Plainsman Staff Writer
- Auburn is experiencing growing pains arid unless these
pains are met and cured, API cannot continue its rapid
growth.
In 1940,14.04 per cent of the college age group 18-21 were
attending college in the state of Alabama. The proportion of
these going to Auburn was 3.03. In 1953, 14.82 per cent of
the college age group were in col­lege,
and 5.72 of these were going
to Auburn. These figures point out
the fact that although the percent­age
of college vouth are going to
college remained about the same,
the percentage of youth going to
Auburn has almost doubled. "This
means," said Doctor Paul Irvine,
who has conduced research on Au­burn's
needs, "that in the rapid
growth of college attendance in
Alabama, Auburn has taken a
relatively larger part." Already
the grbwth in number of students
has put Auburn in the class of
large institutions in the U. S.
Within nine years since Septem­ber,
19.46,. Auburn has awarded
more ! degrees (13,571) . than the
12,677 awarded in the first 75,-
years of the institution, 1892-1946
—tthat is, 894 more degrees since
1946 than before 1946.
Since 1940, Auburn's net enroll­ment
has increased 117 per cent,
•more than doubled. In 1940, the
net enrollment was 4191 but in
1955 there is a net enrollment of
9100. There is every prospect that
by 1960 the total net enrollment
will be 10,500 so every year some
steps must be taken to try to keep
up to date with buildings needed.
The expansion of enrollment in
recent years has required a cor­responding
expansion in buildings
and other facilities for instruction.
In the past few years, fifteen
buildings have been completed as
follows:
New Architecture, Education
and Pharmacy Building, an addi
tional dorm for, men, a Student
Union Building, a Forestry Build
ing, Wilmore Engineering Labora
tory, an Agriculture Engineering
Annex, a Small Animal Clinic
Building arid an office building for
Department 6f Buildings and
Grounds..
However, there are still more
bujldings to be built high on the
list: A new classroom building, a
hew library, an annex to the
Chemistry building, an auditorium,
a new School of Home Economics
building, one more unit men's
dorms, one more unit women's
dorms. These buildings have been
authorized and will be built as
soon as finances are available.
Due' to population increases and
other factors, we must provide
faculty and facilities.
Since the college won't accept a
person unless he shows he has a
place to live, there is a tremendous
necessity for more and better
housing and hew buildings. There
were hundreds of boys and more
than 250 girls turned down early
summer . because of inadequate
housing space. There are many
students how commuting and there
are many living out as far as Tus-kegee.
*
These are the problems that
Auburn's rapid growth has caused.
To continue growing, Auburn must
have more and better classroom
and housing facilities.

SCRA Presents Books
To Library As Memorial
The Student Council on Reli­gious
Activities recently present­ed
to the library a collection of
books "in memory of Mrs. C. W.
Edwards and in appreciation of
Mr. Edwards' work" with the
group.
The collection is composed of:
"What Would Jesus Do," "A Call
to Faith," "Beyond Despair, "Un­common
Prayers," "Marching Off
the Map and Other Sermons,"
"Ultimate Questions," and "The
Whole Armor of God."
Added to SCRA's collection by
the library was "Religion of An
Inquiring • Mind."
The books are now available in
the library.
THE LIBRARY was built in
1910 for' 700 • students, 24,000
square feet of floor space.
AFTER REMODELING in 1939, thelibrary
had ,82,000 books With 28,880 total feet of
square space. There were 3,400 students en­rolled'in
school and the'facilities available at
that-time were-barely suffieierit.\-:-'~-•- ~i-~'
THE PRESENT LIBRARY still has 28,880 feet of floor space
but crowded into this space are 210,000 books. The present enroll­ment
totals 7,904 students and under the present system students
are required to use the library more than-they were in 1939.

Plan Consists Of Amendments
To Levy Tax, Issue School Bonds
By Sam Houston
Plainsman Associate Editor
There has been a great deal of conjecture lately on the
so-called Goodwyn Bill. People have been arguing over
a matter of very great importance to our schools, teachers,
and ourselves.
The Goodwyn bill is only the first of three amendments
which are tied together. The construction of these bills
makes it necessary to pass all three in order that they may
be of use, since the passage of one depends upon success of
the other.
Briefly, here'are their basic components.
Amendment No. 1—An income tax amendment, the pro­ceeds
of which will be earmarked in the Constitution for
use ONLY in public education. The main purpose of this
bill will be to raise the, salaries of teachers.
Amendment No. 2—This will authorize the sale of 110
million dollars of bonds to construct school and college
buildings. Each county and city school system in the State
will receive a sum equal to about $3,600 multiplied by the
number of teacher units in the school system, based upon the
number of students. The bonds will be sold only if the
money to pay them off is authorized. Part of the proposed
income tax is for that purpose.
Amendment No. 3—It will merely PERMIT the people
of any county or city school district to decide by popular
vote in some later election whether'or not they will increase
the local property taxes for schools by 55 cents on every
hundred dollars of property assessment. This won't levy
any tax: it merely permits the local people to vote so if they
desire. \
It is estimated that the school income tax proposed in
amendment No. 1 would produce 29 million dollars annually
for schools. . .. r., ..
Total annual State appropriations for all aspects of pub­lic
education in 1955-56 are 116 million dollars. Therefore,
the public schools, including the state colleges which are
supported by the State Educational Trust Fund will depend
upon the passage of Amendment No. 1 for the payment of
one fourth of their total State appropriations for the current
year and each following year. ,
The Legislature increased total 'annual appropriations
for education by about $36 million for the year beginning
October 1, 1955. But $29 million will come from Amendment
No. 1, which will be used in employment of more than 1000
new teachers to take care of increased public school enroll­ment.
It will also be used to raise the salaries of public
school, college, and trade school teachers, as well as to hire
additional instructors. Finally, a payment of 5% million
will be used to retire the principal and interest of bonds pro­posed
in Amendment No. 2.
Of the $29 million taxpayers would pay for schools, $12
million will be recovered by the taxpayers from the Federal
Government through deductions claimed in the Federal in­come
tax. Thus, taxpayers will actually pay increased taxes
Only in the amount of $17 million to provide Alabama schools
the $2*9 million increase. ' _
Under the Goodwyn Amendment 908,000 individuals in
Alabama would pay the new,tax, whereas, at present only
167,000 pay under the present state tax law. So 741,000 who
pay nothing under the present setup would pay taxes in small
amounts to help raise the needed money. About 47 per cent
of the new tax will be paid by more than 7,000 corporations
which will be taxed at the same rate as' individuals. The
present tax applies to only 5,000 and at a lower rate than that
for individuals. This broadening of the base enables the
state to collect -the needed revenue without really hurting
anyone much.
Under the proposal, 90 per cent of individual taxpayers
would pay amounts ranging from five dollars per year to
a maximum of $29.50 per year.
Sounds like a lot of cash, doesn't it? Well, it is, but
think of it in terms of money spent on individual school
children. Last year, our public schools spent a little less than
71 cents per child per day in school. That isn't much to keep
a kid in school six hours a day and gaining all the benefits
a good teacher and school make possible.
And don't forget, API will get $930,000 of those sorely
needed dollars.
So you voters remember December 6, and wote for
Amendments one, two and three. S.H.

Saturday Grid Battles Tell The Tale
In 1955 SEC Campaign Finale .
By Herb Eeed '
Plainsman Sports Writer
As t h e Southeastern Conference gridders p r e p a r e for t he
season's final big surge, ownership of t h e top four positions
a r e anything but definite. Although Ole Miss has a sharply
defined' but small advantage, Auburn or Georgia Tech, both
of whom are breathing down the Rebel's necks, could find
themselves on top of the confer- regarded in the championship
ence heap next week eii'd when
the season's last encounters come
off. Vanderbilt, which has lost
only two costests, cannot be dis-race.
The outcome hinges mainly
upon the results of the Ole Miss-

first place fate depends upon the
winning ability of the Maroons.
The contest is -pre-rated as some­what
of a toss-up, while the odds-makers
feel assured of a Tiger
victory in the 'Bama hassel. If
the Yellow Jackets are to wind up
on top, both Mississippi and the
Plainsmen must bow to their tra­ditional
rivals Saturday, and the
"Crickets" must also do their part
by collecting a win over the Red
and Black of Georgia.
The Commodores slim hope of
gaining fame lies only in the pos­sibility
that the other three lead­ers
be credited with defeat, in
which case a Vandy victory
would bring the big trophy to
Nashville.
All SEC teams, with the excep­tion
of one, face their traditional
intrastate rivals come Saturday.
The lone wolf is Kentucky which
wound up its regular season's
play last weekend.
The blue chips are down in the

DIAMONDS AT CHRISTMAS
If you are planning to give a diamond this Christmas then it is time
to start making your plans. For a diamond, more than almost any other
purchase, is one that needs some very careful planning in order to be sure
you have made the very best selection possible for that special "SOME­ONE."
We have a provenplan to give you a ring exactly like "her" heart
is (set on at a price your billfold can stand.. We call it "Ware's Loose Stone
system."
It does the following:
1. Allows you to select the exact mounting that SHE wants.
2. Allows you to select the exact size stone and set it exactly
as SHE wants it set.
3. We can give you this "tailor made ring" and save you
money all at the same time.
What more can you ask? You owe it to her to see how
much larger and finer her diamond will be for the money you
to invest when you use "Ware's Loose Stone Systm."

Big Red Phillips put Clemson
behind the scoring eightball
within three minutes of the open^
ing kickoff, as he pulled in a
Howell Tubbs' pass shook off a
half dozen Clemson tacklers, and
railed over for a TD. This was
the climax of an 80 yard drive
which hegan immediately follow­ing
the initial kickoff. The Plains­men
had moved 40 yds. in 7 plays
largely on the running of Fob
James and Bobby Hoppe before
Tubbs called the big play.
., Clemson tried to crank up its
offensive machine at this stage,
but Auburn stopped the sputter­ing
drive shortly afterwards on
the Plainsman 25, and then mov­ed
80 yards for another touch­down.
A 57-yard Tubbs-Phillips
pass play almost accounted for
this one, but the glue-fingered
end was knocked out of bounds
on the Clemson three. James
plowed over on the next play.
James set up the final touch­down
some twelve minutes later
as he broke away for a 53-yard
gallop to the Clemson 13. It took
the Plainsmen five plays to cover
the remaining distance with
Tubbs pulling a favorite scoring
manuever as he faked to the full­back
and then skirted end for
the marker. Tubbs kicked his third
consecutive extra point of the day
to wind up the scoreboard action.
The sanctity of the end zones
was restored during the second
half despite Clemson's determin­ed
efforts. Don King sparked
his teammates on two long
marches, but both failed. Hoppe

bud with a pass interception late

Should we recall the past and h ow Ala­bama
has won five of t h e seven games with
A u b u r n since they renewed the classic?
Or should we recall the b r u t a l 55 to 0
score of t h e 1948 game?
Before every Auburn student s t a r t s ac­cusing
us as having "Memories, memo­ries.
. ." as a theme song, however, we sin­cerely
believe every Bama student is look­ing
forward to the game November 26 —
and not to t h e past.
This is a p a r t i c u l a r l y h a r d t h i n g to do,
you must admit, in light of the present
situation. We're not looking toward it
w i t h as much confidence as w e sometimes
have in t h e past — t h e chances of us win­ning
this one, judging from our present
0-9 standing, a r e fantastic.
Make 'no mistake about it, however,
every student here is working up spirit
t h a t to some will seem highly unusual for
t h e University. This year has taught us
well to accept t h e "unusual."
Our growing spirit, though, is a con­s
t r u c t i v e one — not necessarily based on
t h e score, but one we must admit we fol­lowed
you in: "It's not whether you win
or lose, but . . . etc."
On the eve of the great game, we are
searching for a win. No writer in the
world would pick us t h e favored, but this
you can believe, we're going to TRY to
win. You will likewise t r y — and no one
could ask more of the two great centers
of education in Alabama.

Things Change
By Tim Ford
On some recent travels of mine,
I chanced to meet an elderly man
who was dining at the next table.
In the course of our conversation
he made several remarks about
the constantly changing environ­ment
that each of us must face.
This discourse proved so valuable
that I will pass it on to you (with
no claim to originality of course.)
"Everything is farther than it
used to be. It's twice as far to the
station, for instance, and they
have added a hill, I've noticed.
I've given up running for my
train . . . it leaves faster than it
used to.
Seems to me they are making
staircases steeper than they used
to make them in the old days..
And have you' noticed the small
print they are using? Newspapers
are getting farther and farther
away when I hold them, and I
have to squint to make out the
news. No sense in asking to have
them read aloud. Everyone speaks
in such a low voice that I can
hardly hear them.
The barber doesn't hold a mirror
behind me anymore so that I can
seen the back of my head. The
material in my suits is always too
skimpy around the waist, and in
the seat. And shoe laces are so
short they are all but impossible
to reach.
Even people are changing. They
are so much younger than they
used to be when I was their age.
On the other hand, people my own
age are so much older than I am.
I ran dnto an old classmate the
other night and he had aged so
he didn't recognize me. I got to
thinking about the Jpoor ' fellow
while I was shaving this morning.
While doing- so, I glanced at my
own reflection in the mirror. Con­found
it! They don't even use the
same kind of glass in mirrors any­more!"
Well, I don't know if this ap­plies
to you, but it certainly does
merit some thought. As far as I
am concerned, I can't make this
old typewriter act right. It is
constantly getting more difficult
,to make the letters on the key­board
correspond with the actual
print. Oh, well.

To answer some of the com­plaints
about telephone service in
Auburn, and from Auburn to
Opelika, we conferred with Mr.
H. B. Smith, who is Group Manag­er
for the Opelika group (compos­ed
of 8 telephone exchanges) in
Southern Bell. Mr. Smith was
very cooperative in giving us the
facts we requested.
One item under question is the
"outdated equipment" in the Au­burn
telephone building. Contrary
to common belief, this equipment
is the latest type switchboard of
the manual service type. By man­ual
service we mean "number
please" type, as opposed to the
dial type or magneto type. Mag­neto
service is the old crank type
of which there are about 65 or 70
in Alabama, operated by inde­pendent
systems.
Southern Bell has no magneto
systems, and of the 90 (approxi­mately)
Alabama systems, about
30 are, manual, including Auburn.
About 1937, Auburn's telephone
building changed location and at
that time the company suggested
that a dial system could be in­stalled
in place of the manual
service system, since they would

Let's Have A
'Twerp Season'
By Bill Klemm
According to some people on the
campus, Auburn girls are being
led astray by the wild males. Why
then, don't we turn everything
around and let Auburn males be
'ed astray by the wild females?
At least we can give it a try,
which brings us to the real point
of the article: why don't we ini-tate
a "Twerp Season?"
As you may or may not know,
a Twerp Season is a designated
peribd of time during which fe­males
pursue the males. Since next
year is Leap Year, I. think the
idea might be appropriate.
For those people who seek
something different from the ordi­nary,
run-of-the-mill dating pro­cedure,
Twerp Season offers a
welcome relief. The girls would
take over the usual male role on
dates. The results from such a
turn of events should prove in­teresting,
unusual, and probably
hilarious.
For the men Twerp Season
means that they don't have to foot
the bill, which should spark their
outlook considerably. And in ad­dition
they won't have to fight for
two weeks in, advance to get a
date.
For the women it means that
they get their pick of Auburn's
surplus crop of males (you lucky
people!). Also, they don't have to
worry about saying good-night o
their dates on a brightly-lit porch,
(the fraternity houses will see to
that.)
The standard procedure as prac­ticed
at other universities is to
completely reverse the whole dat­ing
relationship. The girls ask the
fellows for dates, set the time, pay
all the expenses, escort the men
home, and (blush) kiss them good­night.
Now to make this complete we
need to designate a given week
during the Winter Quarter as
Twerp Season. It should begin on
Monday and end on Saturday.
During this time the gals would
take the lead: buy the coffee at
the Union, feed the jukebox, call
and chat on the phone, stand when
a male enters the room, light the
men's cigarettes, and so on.
The week would be climaxed
by a "Backward Dance" on Sat­urday
night. The girls would, of
course, buy corsages for the men,
and escort them to the dance.
They might even form the female
homologue of the stag line.
All that is left to be done now
is for someone to make Twerp
Season an official annual event.
And with all the varied legisla­tive
councils we've got around
here, that shouldn't be difficult.

Godwyn Plan Promises Relief From Overcrowded Conditions
BY RALPH B. DRAUGHON, '22
API President
I HAVE BEEN asked to prepare a state­ment
for the Alumnews, setting out the
benefits that will accrue to Auburn if
the voters ratify Amendments One and
Two on December 6, 1955. I am very
glad to do so, but I wish to point out
that, in my opinion, these proposals to
amend the Constitution of the State of
Alabama are vital to the whole public
education system of our state.
' If the voters in their wisdom shall
ratify Amendments One and Two, it
will be possible to provide better edu­cation
in all the public schools and
colleges through improved salaries,
additional teachers, better facilities,
equipment, and supplies in all the
white and Negro schools and colleges.
Auburn's share in these funds for
improvement is set out, with comment,
as follows:
Campus proper
Campus Instruction
THE 1955 Legislature appropriated an
increase of $902,900 for the support of
campus instruction. This badly needed
increase is largely dependent upon the
ratification of Amendment Number One.
It cannot be made available through
existing revenues in the Alabama
Special Educational Trust Fund.
Here is approximately how the money
will be used:
1. Salary improvement
2. Additional teaching staff
3. New equipment
$300,000.00
357,000.00
85,000.00
A little boy from Maine and a
little girl from Mississippi sneak­ed
off and went swimming in the
. nude together, one day. The girl
looked at him quizzically, and
said: "I never knew before that
there was so much difference be­tween
a Yankee and a Southern­er!"
, .
4. Major alterations and re­pairs
to plant . 75,000.00
5. To meet increased operat­ing
costs, labor, utilities,
expendable supplies 85,900.00
$902,900.00
Alumni will recall the very able
presentation of the needs for more
funds for campus instruction which,
was made to the Legislature last sum­mer.
The legislature has appropriat­ed
funds to meet these needs, sub­ject
to the approval by the voters of
Amendment Number One.
New Enterprises
1. For Educational Television $85,000.00
This responsibility is entirely new,
and is largely dependent upon the
activation of the appropriation by the
adoption of Amendment Number One.
2. For Engineering Experi­ment
Station $85,000.00
Here again a new and badly needed
activity vital to our state is largely
dependent upon the' adoption of
Amendment Number One.
Capital Outlay
WE HAVE erected a number of new
buildings here since the close of World
War II. Funds from the State have been
insufficient for these purposes, and we
have borrowed by issuing revenue pro­ducing
bonds to retire the indebtedness.
Except for these, we could not have be­gun
to take care of an ever-growing
enrollment.
However, we have been limited by
the necessity of building only buildings
which would produce revenues to re­tire
the bonds.
We could not build certain very
badly needed facilities. For example,
we could not build a library because,
we could not finance a loan to con­struct
it. The result is that we have
terrible plant needs which cannot be
met except by State appropriations.
Amendment Number One will pro­vide
sufficient revenue / to the Special
Educational Trust Fund to retire a •'
Bond Issue of 110 jrnilliori dollars for
the construction of buildings for the
public schools and colleges. Authority
to issue the* bonds depends upon the
ratification by the voters on December
6, of Amendment .Number Two.
If Amendment Number Two is adopt-
. ' • . i. . I <n ••—*——BBS
ed, Auburn will receive $4,000,000.00
for additional buildings for instructing
and housing the largest student body in
the State of Alabama. In addition, $2,-
930,000.00 will be made available to
construct badly needed research lab­oratories
for Agriculture and Veterinary
Medicine. •
Since our enrollments, and the ac­companying
needs of faculty and staff
have outgrown our physical plant, and
since many of our buildings are in­adequate
to present and future needs, it
will be seen that the passage of Amend­ments
One and Two would for the first
time in Auburn's history provide a plant
that would begin to approach our needs.
We have gone to the legislators reg­ularly
since 1940 with a listing of build­ings
badly needed. Although the amounts
accruing from the ratification of the
amendments will not meet all our
needs, the institution will be tremend­ously
benefitted by the construction of
a library, classrooms, and laboratories.
Experiment Station
FOR MAINTENANCE and operation, of
the Main Experiment Station, the Sub-
Stations and Experimental Fields, the
1955 Legislature appropriated an in­crease
of $229,350.00 over existing State
Funds. Here again, this increase, or the
vast majority of it, is dependent upon
the will of the voters on December 6.
If the amendments are ratified, the
increased funds will be used as fol­lows:
\

Capital Outlay
The adoption of Amendments One and
Two will provide $2,930,000.00 for the
construction of badly needed research
facilities for Agricultural and. Veterir
nary Sciences. All of the farming and
livestock associations of Alabama have
been asking us for years to provide
these facilities.
There was no way we could build
them because they will not be revenue
producing, and we coujd not sell bonds
for their construction. We had never
been able to get money appropriated by
the State for these purposes. These faci­lities
are dependent upon the vote of
the people on December 6.
Extension Service
THE 1955 Legislature appropriated an
increase of $189,500 for the maintenance
and operation of the Extension Service.
As in the appropriations for the col-'
lege proper, and the Experiment Sta­tions,
these additional funds must large­ly
depend upon the new revenues con­templated
from the adoption of Amend­ment
Number One.
If the voters ratify this amendment,
the increased funds appropriated for the
Extension Service will be used approxi­mately
as follows:
1. Salary improvement $106,000.00
2. Increased travel costs at
t h e newly established
State rate ^ 25,000.00
3. New equipment ._ 33,000.00
4. For expendable supplies
and materials ..: 25,500.00
' $189,500.00
It will be seen that Auburn indeed has
a vital interest in the passage of Amend­ments
Number One and Two on Dec­ember
6. The sums listed in the sum­mary
represent needs that have existed
here for many years.
, . If the people in their wisdom adopt
these amendments, I feel that they
will provide here, the funds and faci­lities
for us to begin to supply the
services they have been demanding of
us for a number of years.

have to put in new equipment
anyway.
Somebody, somewhere decided
agains the change. (This some­body
must have been outside the
company, since it' wouldn't have
been any more of an effort for
them to put in dial equipment than
manual service equipment.)
About September or October,
1954, the company sent out letters
to all telephone customers in
Opelika and Auburn explaining
that a free-toll system could be
established and the two towns
would be treated as one; individual
calls would be free; the combined
number of telephones would nec­essitate
an increased monthly
charge on the bill of about 40 or
50 cents monthly for a home
phone, in accordance with the-charge
rate schedule. Cards were
enclosed in these letters which the
customers were to return stating
whether or not they wished for this
change. Of he cards returned, 56-
58 per cent were dissenting votes.
This is the reason why we cannot
call direct to Opelika.
Mr. Smith stated that they hope
to try this again sometime soon.
If so, perhaps Opelika and Au­burn
citizens will reconsider, and
we will have our direct connec­tion.
As for progress in the Auburn
telephone system—in 1945 there
wese six sections of switchboard;
now there are 15. Cables, poles
and wires were expanded in pro­portion.
Everyone in the urban
area who had a request in for a
telephone has been taken care of,
unless the request was placed in
the last few days. All recent re­quests
for being taken off a par.ty-line
or reducing the number on
a line, have been taken care of.
Approximately $50,000 has been
spent in the past six months in
improvements in equipment here year.

It is true that Opelika has had
a dial system installed while Au­burn
has not. HoweVer, Opelika
had much older equipment than
Auburn has, and their traffic

the manual system at Auburn is
very adequate, and is just as fast

HOW TO BE A BMOC
Any man who wishes to be a BMOC—you show me one who
doesn't and I'll show you a misspent youth—will do well to fol­low
the few simple rules listed below. ,
The first requisite of a BMOC is, of course, a letter in athletics.
This presents no great problem to the big, the strong, and the
hulking. But what do you do if you are a puny little chap with
a concave chest and muscles like tallow?
I'll tell you what you do: You go to the nearest letter store,
buy a letter, sew it on your sweater, and wear it.
This, perhaps, is not
strictly ethical, but chances
are slim that anybody will
question you about it. If
someone should, you have a
perfectly logical explana­tion.
Simply say, "That ' I'
on my sweater does not
stand for 'Iowa.' It stands
for 'Infirm.' " . . . Or, "That
' P ' does not s t a n d for
'Princeton.' It stands for
' P o o r l y . ' " . . . Or, "That
'W&L' does not stand for
•Washington and Lee.' It
stands for 'Withered and
L u m p y . ' " . . . Or, "That
'BG' does not stand for 'Bowling Green.' It stands for 'Badly
Gangrenous.'"'
So, you see, getting the letter-sweater is no large task. But that
is only a part of BMOC-hood. Another, and equally important,
part is to join the right fraternity. Let me emphasize—the right
fraternity. Joining the wrong fraternity is worse than joining
no fraternity at all.
How can you be sure that the fraternity you join is the right
one? Very simply., Just ask the rushing chairman. After all,
why should he lie to you?
Once the BMOC is estab­lished
in the right frater­nity,
the next step is to get
the right girl.. A BMOC's
g i r l must be beautiful,
shapely, and go well with
all his suits.
Girls answering this de­scription
are admittedly not
easy to find. If you should
discover that all the suitable
girls on your campus are
already attached, do not
despair. There are several
things you can do.
You can, for example, cut
your throat.
Or you can pick one of
the less attractive ladies on
campus, veil her, dress her
in houri, p a n t s , and t e ll
e v e r y b o d y she is an ex­change
student from Istan­bul.
(A fellow I knew in
school — Hardtack Sigafoos
by name — did just that. After several semesters he discovered
to his surprise that he loved the girl. Today they are happily
married and run one of the biggest Turkish baths' in Ida
Grove, Iowa.)
We arrive now at the question: What does a BMOC smoke?
And the answer is—new Philip Morris, of corris!
Anybody—big man on campus or little man, big woman or
little woman—anybody who is able to discern between harsh and
gentle chooses new Philip Morris. Gentle is the word for Philip
Morris. (Actually, of course, it isn't. Cigarette is the word for
Philip Morris.) But gentle describes admirably the felicitous
blending, the smooth, mild, pleasureful flavor, the nobly born
and delicately nurtured tobaccos, that Philip Morris—and only
Philip Morris—brings you.
The makers of Philip Morris, who bring you this column every week
during the school year, cordially invite you to try today's new gentle
Philip Morris in the bright new red, nhifp,and. gold package, regular
or smart king size.

Tide Crew Predicts Victory Saturday,
Plan To Run Up Score On Tigers
Just one foe remains between "Snug" Jordan's fine-'55
aggregation and the finest Auburn grid season since 1932.
Any other year this final opponent would be looked upon-with
fear and misgivings, but not this autumn.
Until last Saturday the Tigers had not scored a decisive
victory all year with the. exception of the Furman fracas. The Geor­gia
Tech game was probably then* best all-round performance al­though
the Clemson clobbering certainly rivaled it. /
The winless Tide will definitely be "up
for this battle especially if any reliance may
be placed upon newspaper quotes from 'Bama
team members which appeared Sunday. Sev­eral
Tiders suggested that they would not
only take the Legion Field tussle but would
also run up the score.
Of course, Coach J. B. "Ears" Withworth will
go all out to salvage some glory from the debris
of a disasterous season, and the whole Crimson
crew will want revenge for the 28-0 walloping
last year. But the Plainsmen should keep in mind
the 55-0 beating which 'Bama administered to a
helpless Auburn squad at the tail end of the 1948
season. The Tigers had won just one contest that
fall, a fact which might have influenced the Drew-ment
toward mercy, but didn't.
Now that positions are reversed, practically the same situation
faces Auburn. There is one minor difference—Alabama is probably
capable of mounting a more potent attack than the 1948 Tigers were.
Still, if the Puny Pachyderms should buckle at the knees Saturday,
the question might be raised whether or not the Tigers should assume
a benevolent attitude and attempt to hold the score down. Definitely
not! A resounding trouncing of the Tuscaloosans could furnish the
momenum which would send the Auburn grid machine right into the
bowl game of its choice.
The Auburn series is the only one with a Southern foe In
which Alabama does not hold the edge. Tiger-Tide relations
first began in 1893 with the results standing even at nine wins
apiece and one tie.
Auburn won the first encounter 32-22, but the 1948 affair pro­duced
the largest score. During the early years, Auburn invariably
played the favorite's role. In 1900 oddsmakers were wagering that
'Bama would not even seore, but quite a bit of money changed hands
when the Tide put a TD across and the score stood 53-5 (touchdowVis
counted five points in those days).
Grid Honors . . .
Fob James is now just 41 yards short of a 2000-yard career total.
The slick little halfback has a 1959 mark, and he should go over the
top Saturday. Even if he doesn't do it then, he'll probably have a bowl
game to give him another chance. ,
James' total'; of 825 yards in nine games this season is the fourth
best rushing record in the nation. Jim Swink, TCU; Art Luppino,
Arizona, and Howard Cassady,
tiMtrtwn- • •• * Ohio State, are the only major
| | college stars with larger tallies.
I n the Atlanta Journal's first
H annual all-SEC team picked by
§f Dixie Dozen players, James and
% M. L. Brackett were named to
H the first string. Frank D'Agosti-no
and Joe Childress made the
P second string:
% " The "Journal" made the
"Plainsman" look a little s i l -
^ ly Monday as it picked Bob
Scarbrough for "SEC" play-
Tubbs. er of the week," while as readers are sure to note, the
"Plainsman" choose Howell Tubbs. This difference of opinion was
principally due to an oversight, but Scarbrough has yet to turn
in anything except a good performance which makes it hard to
pick one of his games as more superlative than his.others. Coach
Jordan, commenting on the Clemson affair, stated, "All-Ameri­cans
aren't made in one season, but if they were, this boy' would
be one" in reference to Scarbrough.

fers a last chance to squeeze a
glimpse of sunlight into a season
which has brought nothing but
cloudy week ends. The Tide has
been "out" this year, suffering
its worst season in history in los­ing
nine straight. But a win over
their cross-state rivals could do
very much toward salving the
wounds Of the boys in the red
and white.
On the other side of the fence,
Auburn must win this one to r e ­main
in the bowl and SEC cham­pionship
picture. A loss would
definitely .knock the Tigers out
of any hopes for either.
Alabama has not been able to
keep it any secret that they will

be throwing the ball come Sat­urday.
Utilizing the "spread
formation, the Tide has had com­paratively
good, results, with its
passing game in the last two out­ings.
Senior quarterback Bart Starr,
making his last appearance as a
collegian, will be the man with
the arm. Rated as one of the best |>
passers in IBama history, he has
completed 49 of 89 passes at­tempted
this year for a total, of
far have been senior end Nick
Germanos, with 12 receptions, and
halfback Marshall Brown, with
13.
- To keep the Tiger defense hon­est,
Starr may call on, fullback
Don Kinderknecht, the Tide's top
STARR CHRISTIAN
scorer, and halfback- Jerry Mc-
Bee to carry the ball. Senior cen­ter
Kntrte Christian is the main­stay
of the "thin red line."
After a series of inury-riddled
week ends, Auburn will again be
up to full strength. Joe Childress
wasn't able to dress out last Sat­urday
against Clemson, but the
Ail-American should be ready to
go in this, his final regular-sea­son
game of a brilliant collegiate
career.
Besides Childress, eight other
seniors will wind up their Au­burn
careers against Alabama.
They are:- Fob, James, Alton
Shell. Bob Scarbrough, M. L.
Brackett, Frank' D'Agostino,
Johnny Adams, Bill Burbank and
Ronnie Whitlock. j
The Alabama-Auburn series
now stands at nine victories each,
with one game resulting in a tie.
Auburn won last year, 28-0.
Player Of The Week
Howell Tubbs
Auburn's triumph over Clemson was definitely a team victory;
but it/was Howell Tubbs' smooth handling of the team which appeared
to make it click. Tubbs, rated as a "so-so" quarerback by many sports
writers, was anything but that last Saturday.
A surprise pass play called
.**- by- Tubbs broke the scoring
ice within three minutes of the
opening kickoff. Red Phillips
was on the receiving end of this
one as he was on a similar Tubbs'
aerial some thirteen minutes lat­er.
The second Tubbs to Phillips
performance almost netted an­other
touchdown as it went for
57 yards before the big end was
stopped on the Clemson three.
Tubbs got into the scoring
act himself late in the first half.
With some deceptive faking, he
sent Jim Walsh into the Clemson
line to be tackled by at least six
men and then skirted end, un­touched,
from two yards out.
Midway in the third period
Tubbs put on a running show of
his own as he scampered 33 yards
from the Tiger nine. This run
got the Plainsmen, out of the
deepest hole into which Clemson
ever - managed to push them.
During the" day, Tubbs carried
ten times for a 48 yard total.
As usual the Tiger quarterback turned in a fine defensive per­formance.
He played approximately 57 consecutive minutes before
finally being taken out of thekgame.

Conference Champ
To Be Decided
In SEC Saturday
Of the eight major conference
champions, only the fates of two,
the Southeastern and Southwest­ern,
lie in the outcome of next
Saturday's games. The more im­portant
of the two, the Southeast­ern,
hinges upon the outcome of
the Mississippi-Mississippi State
game. Mississippi * is currently
leading the race but should State
get by them and Auburn dump
Alabama, then the Tigers wjll grab
possession of their first SEC cham­pionship.
At it stands now, even if
Mississippi should come out the
victor, Auburn could wind up no
lower than second place.
In the Southwestern conference,
Texas A&M is leading the pack,
but because they are on probation
and cannot go to a bowl, TCU at
least, a sure second-place finisher,
will represent that particular con­ference
in the Cotton Bowl.
Oklahoma, the number one
team of the nation, has already
sewed up the Big 7 Conference
with a record of 5 wins against no
losses. Likewise, Maryland, numb­er
two team across the country
has compiled a 4-0 record, good
enough to take the laurals in the
Atlantic Coastal Conference.
The winner of the Pacific Coast
Conference was UCLA, always a
powerhouse, going undefeated in
Cross Country Wins
An unprecedented first was
marked in the SEC Cross Country
record books, Monday, when the
Auburn Tigers and the Florida
Gators tied for the Conference title.
Earlier in the year Florida had
beaten the Tiger track crew on
the Gator's home grounds by a,
score of 33-23, but in Atlanta the=
Plainsmen were not to be denied
as they tied Florida, 46-46, thus
earning a share of the coveted
title.
The Tigers, ably piloted by-
Coach Wilber Hutsell, had five
runners in the point making col­umn..
Their name, finish position,
and time, respectively, are as fol­lows:
Ellsworth Richter, fourth,
22:14; Dave Powell, sixth, 22:20;
Otis Wesley, seventh, 22:28; Bobby
Deas, thirteenth, 22:57 and Vic
Taibert, sixteenth, 23:16. Others
finishing in the top thirty were
Don Hannah, 23.22; Charlie Regan,
23:47, and Greg. Drummond 23:56.
The winner of the meet was Don
Gagnon of Florida, whose time
was 21:37.3 which was well above
the track record of 21:27.3 set by
John Barton of Auburn last year.

Big 10, Ohio State dumped Michi­gan

Maxime Like A Tank
In Solid Tiger Forewall
,.. By Paul Hemphill
Plainsman Sports Writer
"Auburn's low - slung t a n k " is t h e apt description a Bir­mingham
sports w r i t e r once gave the Tigers' Chuck Maxime.
And A u b u r n opponents are beginning to realize that not only
does the 5-11, 220-pound guard physically resemble a tank,
but he is just about as h a r d to move when it comes time to
open up holes i n the A u b u r n line.
At the beginning of the '55 sea­son,
there was much cause for
worry in the Tiger football camp
about how capably and by whom
the guard slot left vacant by the
graduated George Atkins would
be filled,
Maxime had the answer to
both problems. He latched on
to the starting job and has been
one of the key men in Auburn's
league-leading defense ever since.
And it's no accident that Chuck
made six unassisted tackles, sec­ond
only to Frank D'Agostino in
the recent Georgia game, which
was. one of the hardest-fought
battles this year . . . good ball
players like the going at its
roughest.
Chuck hails from Jamestown
North Dakota; and found his way
to Auburn in a round-about man­ner.
After playing two years of
All-State ball at the local high
school in Jamestown, Uncle Sam
beckoned, and he was sent to.
Camp Rucker, Alabama. Maxime
was spotted by Auburn while
playing ball at Rucker, and was
offered a fotball scholarship. He
accepted and entered school in
1953.
Playing as a sophomore in '54,
Chuck managed half-way duty on
that great Gator Bowl squad, but
this is his year, and he has been
in the starting lineup all the way.
His biggest thrill since coming
to the Plains? " . . . playing in
the Gator Bowl last year." And
who is going to say that he does

Open Letter...
Harry Mehre, former Ole Miss and Georgia Coach, who writes a
Dixiewide column every week made some interesting predictions last
week. He favored Clemson over Auburn, Tennessee over Kentucky,
and Arkansas over LSU. For those who didn't read Sunday's p a p e r -
none of these choices materialized. Consequently, we are addressing
the following letter to this revered prognosticator:
Dear Mr. Mehre:
In view of the predictions which appeared in your column last
week, I feel sure that the Auburn student body, football team, and
coaches would deem it a personal favor if you would pick the follow­ing
winers for this Saturday—Alabama over Auburn, Georgia Tech
over Georgia, and Ole Miss over Mississippi State.
Sincerely yours,
Ed Williams

Auburn Stands Chance For Bid
To Silpr, Cotton Bowls
By Herb Reed
Plainsman Staff Writer
The post-season bowl picture, as far as Auburn is con­cerned,
is just slightly less muddy than it was in September
when conference action was first witnessed. The outcome
of Saturday's Southeastern encounters will have a direct
bearing upon the Tiger's chances of seeing service come Jan. 1.
Saturday the SEC front ranks
could split any of four ways: Ole
Miss, Auburn, Georgia Tech, or
Vanderbilt could be leading the
troops at the sound of Saturday's
final whistle.
ship was played Monday afternoon
with Divisin E beating S-Z, pre­viously
undefeated; to take the
title in a 12-6 contest. Charles
Crowder and Harold Helms were
the scoring guns for Division E.
SrZ's talley was made by Mike A.
Piazza.
Two men met on the bus, and
in talking, each began to brag
about his own state. "In my
state," said the Texan, "the, wind
really blows. I've known it to
blow the people right out of their
houses."
"That's nothing," said his com^

a painter, hard at work on
the ceiling: "Hey, mister, have
you got a good hold on that
brush?"
"I think so, why?"
"Well, hold on tight. I'm gon­na

The Bowl Committee naturally
considers the SEC champs as
prime prospects; teams finishing
close behind the leader might
very well be considered by the
pickers of the opponents in the
New Year's Day Classics.
The Southeastern Conference
has an agreement with the major
bowls, which in effect states that
no SEC.team will be approached
for a bowl engagement until the
close of conference action. This
means that nothing definite can
be announced until late Saturday
afternoon.
The three: .major bowls which
consider SEC elevens are the
Cotton Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, and
the Gator Bowl. The only one of
these to have announced any­thing
definite is the Cotton Bowl,

Auburn, which proved its grid­iron
prowess in strong-arming
Clemson 21-0 last Saturday,
should be a good bet for any
Bowl Selection Committee; t he
facts that the Tigers upset Tech,
handled Clemson with even more
ease than the all-powerful Mary­land,
and are top contenders for
SEC honors have drawn the eyes
of experts toward the Plains.
Auburn has grown quite fami-

liar with the Gator Bowl; the Ti­ger
eleven has represented API
in Jacksonville for the past two
years. The Plainsmen fell Tex­as
Tech there in 1954 by a score
of 35-13; Nearly a year ago the
Tigers brqught back the second
bowl victory in the history of API
as Baylor was defeated 33-13.
Georgia Tech, regardless of the
conference outcome, seems as al­ways
to be a hot bowl prospect.
They have the distinction of be­ing
the only team in the country
to have gone to four major bowls
in as many years; incidentally
they won on all four occasions.
They copped the fourth in their
jkein on January 1 of this year
when they defeated Arkansas in
the Cotton Bowl, 14-6.
The Sugar Bowl, played in New
Orleans, has twice engaged Ole
Miss in the past three years, the
Rebels have twice returned to
Oxford winless. On the initial
day of this year Navy crossed the
goal three times to trounce the
Mississippians 21-0; in 1953 Tech
riddled the Rebels 24-7. Ole Miss
has only one bowl victory to its
credit; the Rebels captured the
Delta Bowl title in 1949 as they
slipped by TCU, 13-9.
Vanderbilt has never seen bowl
action.
The final decisions of the Se­lection
Committees will prove
important not only in the success
of the New Year's Day games, but
also to the schools involved. Sat­urday's
final results will be
weighed heavily in these deci­sions.
