Auburn Awaits
Final Approval 1
Speculation as to whether
Auburn will be approved ta
receive materials on loan from
Number 9 the Atomic Energy Commis*
sion to build a sub-critical red­actor
has reached a head to*
day. It is rumored that the ap*
plication by the Department
of Physics here has been ap-proved.
If approval is granted, states;.
Dr. Howard Carr, head of the de-partment
here, construction will-'
begin this fall on the reactor, foe
use in the department's under­graduate
and graduate training-program.
• The unit will enable
the department to give experi­mental-
work in nuclear physics
as it applies to reactor assemblies;
The reactor under considera­tion
wjould furnish Auburn with
a small model of low power fop
instruction purposes. This would: ,
not be the high power model
which API has been trying to get.
for research work.
i
A statement by Carr read:
"The sub-critical reactor will
be patterned after a design of Dp,
Lyles Borst of New York Univer­sity.
The NYU assembly was:
constructed in a large wooden bar­rel
used for shipping olives ancfc
thereby became generally known
as a pickle barrel reactor.
"The API assembly will contain
about three tons of ordinary ura* .
nium which has been formed into;
long rods one inch in diametep
and eight inches long. These rods,
are cased in aluminum and will
be placed upright in a large alum­inum
tank. , .
"Within the tank the rods will
be arranged in an hexagonal pat*
tern and at the center of the hex­agonal
assembly a one-gram ra—- .
dium-beryllium neutron source
will be placed. The source will
provide highly penetrating neu­tron
particles that have no elec­trical
charge.
"Ordinary water will fill the
tank and act J o slow down op
moderate the fast neutrons as well
as provide some shielding from'
the radium source. This neutron,
source is a necessity in this kind
of reactor since the amount of
uranium present and its arrange-*
ment in the tank prevent a self-.
sustaining chain reaction, and
neutrons will have to be supplied
in order to make desired studies,
of the neutron distribution
throughout the assembly. When
completed the reactor can nevep
become self-sustaining and is
therefore known as a sub-critical
reactor.
"This assembly will be used as
a teaching device for undergrad­uate
and graduate students pur--
suing work in reactor technology
and nuclear physics. Studies will
be made on the absorption of that
neutrons emanating from the ra»
dium-beryllium source as they
travel through the uranium and"
water.
"Such studies will give inform
mation on the fission occurring
in the uranium, the scattering and
absorption of the neutrons by the;
uranium rods, and the slowing
down and capture of the neutron*
by thev water present. Since the
reactor cannot become self-sus­taining,
there will be very little
power produced and no powep
reactor studies can be performed^
"The only signifcant radiation
hazard encountered in such an
assembly is that of Jthe neutrons
and gamma rays emanating from
the neutron source. Therefore*

Final Traffic Control System Plans
Released By B&G Director Brewster
Faculty Members, Students To Get
Parking Permits For October Deadline
By Bill Sefton
Plainsman Staff Writer
Final plans for t h e control of traffic on this campus have
.been released by Sam Brewster, director of Buildings and
Grounds.
The system, proposed by the committee of 15 faculty
members and 15 students, has been approved and adopted.
The faculty will be issued their
permits between quarters and
students will receive their permits
during registration.
The various zones will be
marked before fall quarter be­gins
— Zone "A" for the staff and
faculty will be yellow. Zone "B"
for graduate students, seniors and
juniors will be green, and Zone
"C" for freshmen and sophomores
will be red. The faculty will be
limited to Zones "A" and "C,"
•the seniors, juniors and graduate
students to Zones "B" and"C"
the sophomores and freshmen to
Zone "C".
Visitors permits will be issued
•when required and will be good
in any zone. The school has 10,000
decals on hand and will issue
them during registration. The
plan goes into effect the first of
October.
I During- registration a special
desk will be set up in the regis­tration
line. Here the students
Will receive a map of the parking
plan, a letter of instruction and
an application for parking per­mit.
This card will be filled out
at the student's own convenience
and taken to a designated place
dt a later date. This is being
done in order to eliminate any
registration bottleneck.
; Brewster stated that the key to
this plan was cooperation. If
the students w'ill park only where
they are supposed to and the stu­dents
who may park in two zones
try to use Zone "C" as little as
•possible there should be plenty
of space for all.
"This is the third plan that
has been proposed and is by far
the best. It is fair and demo­cratic,"
Brewster pointed out. He
also said that he liked this plan
because it did not resort to pro­hibiting
any class from driving
as other colleges have done. It
is, he thinks, the best possible so­lution
to a bad situation.
The traffic control will be en­forced
through the Auburn city
police. Violators1 will get traffic
tickets, be they staff members or

Draughon, API president, an­nounced.
Coccidiosis research is being
conducted by Dr. S. A: Edgar,
poultry pathologist. Effective
vaccines against coccidia have
been developed here and have
been used by poultrymen to im­munize
more than 80,000,000 birds
throughout the United States and
several foreign countries.
The Hess and Clark fund is in
addition to a- recent grant by

Pranks Or Vandalism ? 4—THE PLAINSMAN Wed., Aug. 15, 1956
Last weekend several fraternities held rush.
As it turned out, it was an open invitation not
only for the visitors to look over what the
"Plains" have to offer, but for some of the cam­pus
irresponsibles to excel in one of their few
fields of accomplishment, causing trouble to

Reactor, A Step Forward
It looks as if Auburn is finally going to get
6 reactor, although not the large, high-power
model that was originally wanted for research
work. The Physics Department here is await­ing
an official announcement from the Atomic
Energy Commission stating whether or not the
department will be able to start construction of
one this fall. Reports have it that the AEC has
approved Auburn's application; however there
is no official word.
API's administration, research foundation
'and Physics Department have, for some time,
been trying to obtain a reactor for the school.
The goal was.a critical reactor capable of sus­taining
itself and producing radio-active iso­topes.
This model would be capable of putting
out several kilowatts of power. A proposal for
'funds for this reactor was placed before the
'Alabama state legislature earlier this year but
•Was defeated..
The department is now trying to get a small
Sub-critical (not self-sustaining) reactor which
will be in the one or two watt range.
The reactor will be used for instruction in
nuclear and reactor physics but research work
t will be beyond its scope.
First among U. S. college to obtain a nuclear
'reactor was the University of North Carolina.
It has a fairly small critical reactor used for re­search.
The fact that a reactor was placed there
has attracted many outstanding men to work at
the school. The academic reputation of N. C.
has considerably improved since that time.
The first step in reactor work has been taken
by Auburn. If we can get a critical reactor here
in the near future it will benefit the school in
a great many ways. Excellent opportunities for
research attract top men in various fields to the
school, thus upgrading its academic reputation.
Also other departments here would benefit. Iso-
! topes could be used by the veterinary students
jin diagnosis and research. The Agricultural
Experiment Station could trace the effects of
fertilizers on plants by using isotopes. Engi­neering
students could get training in the grow­ing
field.
The small reactor now under consideration
.Will be a great step in the right direction. It
. will enable the Physics Department to get valu-
. able experience in the construction of reactors
' a*nd will help students to understand better the
workings of such a unit.
Perhaps in a short time we will get the large
critical reactor that could mean so much to Au-
• burn and the research work that it ^s constantly
tarrying on.

fraternity affected the night before.
The fraternity men who had to take time out
from rush to don work clothes and spend a hot
and humid afternoon erasing the markings of
children at play must have wondered if those
individuals responsible really gained that much
enjoyment from it. No doubt they were" more
than just a little curious as to what feeling of
accomplishment' those persons involved gained
from their juvenile. demonstration.
In some quarters it is said that painting of
fraternity crests and symbols is a time-honored
tradition. A tradition perhaps, but how honor- .
ed? To cause hard work for no practical pur­pose,
and in some cases actual damage, appears
less humorous than it does destructive.
The line between Tiarmless- fun and inten­tional
damage seems to have ben crossed, and
the motives of those individuals "responsible are
to be questioned. It is assumed there is a rea­son
other than just causing" others unnecessary
work.
If these persons are attempting to discredit
some Greek organizations in the eyes of their
rushees, by stealing up in the dead of night and
heaving paint on their crest or anything else in
close proximity, they are certainly not accom­plishing
their purpose, but rather are bringing
discredit upon the entire student body, since
the larger group must suffer for the actions oi
a few when those few remain unidentified.
If they have in mind the disfiguring of pro­perty
they are accomplishing their purpose, but
in a piece-meal manner.
Pranks, when harmless, can be amusing even
if not condoned. Sometimes the irritation pro- •
voked must be taken with a grain of salt when
the situation is one in which no real harm was
meant. Hqwever, when someone sets out with,
enamel paint and proceeds to coat not only the
crest itself but surrounding brick, harmless fun
has been left behind. In one case last year, a
sandstone emblem was so disfigured that even
sand blasting failed to remove the paint, and
it finally had to be replaced. Harmless fun?
To close, let it be said that one of the signs
of maturity is being able to recognize the dif­ference
between harmless pranks and vandalism.
Two Parties Needed
The National Democratic Convention began
last Monday in Chicago. Toward the end of this
week they will present their candidate for the
presidency of the United States.
At Plainsman press time there seem to be
two major contenders. One is Democratic
standard bearer of 1952, Adlai Stevenson, and
the other is the governor of New York, Averell
Harriman.
Stevenson, until Saturday, appeared almost
to have the nomination in the bag. ^However,
ex-President Truman announced last Saturday
his choice of Governor Harriman as the man for
the job.
While Truman cannot name the candidate,
he can swing a lot of influence in the party. His
startling statement, issued in front of coast-to-coast
television, was a direct slap in the face
to the South.
Harriman is the'man who proposed that fed­eral
troops be sent to occupy the South and
thereby force compliance with the Supreme
Court's segregation decree.
Also jumping on the band wagon, Stevenson
recently came out in favor of integration. He,
however, was forced, due to the South's reac­tion,
to modify his stand by saying that he was
a pro-integrationist but that he would not try
to force the issue.
These are the men whom the. "party of our
ancestors" are considering as its strongesfcon-tenders.
Long has the Democratic Party been the
party of the South—too long, as a matter of
fact. The Democrats have come to feel, and
justifiably so, that no matter what they do the
South will remain loyal until the bitter end.
That "bitter end" is in sight. We have let
the Democratic Party push us around just about
as long as we can afford to. The party tried
to unseat some of the southern delegations at
the last convention and now both of its leading
contenders come out in favor of integration and
the one supported by our ex-President favors dis
patching troops to occupy Dixie just as was done
during reconstruction.
The Democratic Party can no longer be call­ed
the "party of our ancestors" for it has chang­ed
to the point of being unrecognizable as such.
Therefore, as a matter of self-preservation,
the South must" develop a two-party system. We
must make the two major parties bargain for
our 134 electorial votes. We must support the
party, be it Democrat or Republican, which of­fers
us the most—for only in this way can the
South ever gain its rightful recognition in the
Union.

Egyptian Problem
Dear Editor,
It is not very often that Au­burn
students have the opportu­nity
to read about international
affairs in The Plainsman. I am
glad that your feature editor has
seen fit to keep us informed of.
the Suez Canal crisis, through her
article called "communist treach­ery."
Your feature editor states
that "the hot-headed little Egyp­tian
president has thrown a ri­diculous
ultimatum into the faces
of the larger nations of the
world." The Egyptian president
has not thrown an ultimatum to
anybody's face, at least, not that
I know of. Of course, it is pos­sible
that the columnist has ac­cess
to high level courses of in­formation.
\
As to Russia's using "Egypt and
the Suez as a neatly effective
crowbar to open the gate into
Africa and Central Europe," I can
only say that I fail to see the
connection between Egypt, the
Suez and Central Europe. A large
part of Central Europe is already
under direct communist control
and the rest of that region would
hardly be affected by Russian in­trigues
in the Middle East.
The fact that the columnist has
displayed her extensive geograph­ical
knowledge and expressed
such mature and objective opin­ions
is proof that a diplomatic
expert of high caliber is amongst
us.
Next time your feature editor
is ready to pass her expert opin­ions
on the Suez crisis to poster­ity,
I advise her to examine close­ly
a map of that region and Eu­rope,
to study Middle-Eastern
history and to take a very strong
sedative to relieve her of her
"nasser Complex."

Skillful Propaganda
Dear Editor:
Congratulations on a fine piece
Sit skillful propaganda bearing
the dramatic title, "Communist
Treachery." What's gotten into
your feature editor? Who's be­hind
her? The article has all the
fine touches of the infamous mas­ter
propagandist, the late Herr
Joseph Paul Goebbels.
The hot-headed little feature
editor has thrown a ridiculous
concoction of half-truths into the
faces of the students of this in­stitution,
much as. a small, emo­tional
child would argue with a
group of well informed, rational
thinking adults.
Your feature editor does a su­perb
job of contradicting herself
by stating, "This man Nasser is
nobody's fool," and that the "Big
strong Soviet Union is there to
fight her (Egypt's) battles for
her," while later on she makes
the amazing discovery that "Rus­sia
uses Egypt and the Suez as a
neatly effective crowbar." I
must admit I am completely at a
loss. Who is the fool and who is
using who?
Respectfully yours,
F. B. Nielsen, Jr.
Men's P.E.
Editor:
I have read with interest two
articles in the last issue of The
Plainsman; one entitled "McKeon
Case Results" and the other article
having the title of "Let's Do Away
with Phy Ed." The McKeon edi­torial
seems to have been written
by a mature individual who has
given much thought and much
consideration to what was an un­fortunate
incident.
The adolescent blast against the
physical education department by
"name withheld upon request" .re­flects
exactly the opposite. In an
attempt to answer this letter, I
would like to point out the fol­lowing:
. 1. The best colleges in the
United States have the best phy­sical
education programs; other­wise,
they would not be classified
as the best.
2. To be sure, some instructors
are late to class sometimes; how­ever,
this is hot the policy, of any
department, and merely reflects
on the individual instructor.
3. No students on this campus
are taking physical education at
6 a.m. The first class begins at
7 a.m. Many courses are offered
at 7 a.m., which is. to the stu­dent's
advantage in scheduling.
4. It is unfortunate that any
student has to study until 1 or 2 in
the morning; maybe a better pro­gram
of studying and less social
life would prevent such.
5. If you had read the April 1
edition of The Plainsman more
carefully, you woulcLhave realiz­ed
that the parking lot article

Spare Time Projects
[ i By Anne Rivers
American youth has long
been condemned as a genera­tion
of party-lovers. We are
-incapable, say the oldsters, of
slowing down and having sim­ple,
inexpensive, fun and sav­oring
the Little Things.
I wish to refute this once and
lor all.
Young people today, while en­joying
a lively party every now
and then, are past masters at all
the little tricks of self-amuse-jnent.
This knowledge is. seldom
necessary, true, but every now j
and then some little inconveni
nence will require that a person
entertain him or herself for some
length pf time. This being the
case, there are all sorts of inter­esting
pastimes which will help
•ne spend his time both profit­ably
and pleasantly.
I recently found it expedient to
Spend some little time in the dor-
' mitory and so I have compiled a
Jist of amusing pastimes which
enabled me to while away many
A carefree hour, and I would like
to pass them on to you.
Spare time is a wonderful time
to catch up on your reading. Im­proving
your mind is always an
admirable undertaking, but there
is seldom time for it. While you
have an opportunity, you should
try to read all the books you have
been meaning to read, but never
got around to. Mad Comics, Play­boy
(if you like that sort of
thing), Jack and Jill, the Commu­nist
Manifesto and Betty Crock­er's
Cookbook should be on your
reading list/
Art, also, may be pressed into
service as a sure-eure- for bore­dom.
If you_ find it -advisable to
stay in the vicinity-ol your room
for long periods of time, you
might want to try a bas-relief
frieze around your ceiling. You
can carve it with nail files, bobby-pins,
or even a tooth-brush, and
you'll find it much more inter­esting
if you let it depict some­thing—
perhaps the story of your
life, or the rise of the Gutenburg
printing press. Less time-con­suming
but still fun are murals
done in nail polish and finger
KLEMM'S CLAMOR
What Music To Buy
If you have read this far
• l o n g you are probably will­i
n g to give jazz a try. So
Where do you start? First of
§11 let me explain that you
probably won't like all jazz.
I can't even stand some of the
; best known names in jazz, Ken­ton
and Sauter-Finegan. But rest
assured, there is plenty of jazz I
go like; the same can apply to
you.
There is so much variety among
jazz music that
almost e v e ry
conceivable in­dividual
t a s te
c a n be sati­ated.
For a be­ginner
in •jazz
appreciation, I
would suggest
the less com­plicated
and
more commer­cialized
jazz. In the past few
years a group of musicians has
Bprung up in California which
Calls their music "West Coast
Jazz." It contains all the elements
Of modern jazz, the best musicians,
'and implements more melody in
an attempt to give commercial
Value to their music. The music
|S more enjoyable as a result.
Okay, but what records do we
look for? In answer, I have com­piled
a list of LP records which
J feel will serve as a basis for
your search into jazz. It will ac­quaint
you with the essence of
Jazz and reveal your preferences.
BY BILL KLEMM
The records are listed by title and
recording company. The latter
part bf the list is made up of new
releases.
"The Louis Armstrong Story,"
Columbia; "Basie's Best,". Bruns­wick;
"This Is Duke Ellington,"
Victor; "Teddy Wilson — Billie
Holiday," Columbia; "Jazz at Ob-erlin
(Brubeck)," "Fantasy; "Hot

"Metronome All-Stars," Victor;

Training animals is a dandy
way to pass time, too. Auburn
offers an abundance of creatures
that are easily trained to do
tricks. The dormitories offer in­telligent,
quick-to-learn ants,
spiders, mosquitoes and cock­roaches,
and I'm told that in some
of the rooming houses . around
town the snakes and' rats that
come with the rooms are natural-born
comedians. You can a^so
raise goldfish, parakeets, piranha,
devil-fish, venus fly-traps, mush­rooms
and all sorts oMungi. It's
rumored that one poor child in
Alumni Hall who was campused
for six weeks last year had a blob
of penicillin mold eight feet
square, by the name of Vincent.
They make wonderful pets.
You may also want to try your
hand at creative literature. You
can write chain-letters, do cross­word
puzzles, inscribe original
limericks on your walls and sign
checks.
Confinement of any sort really
makes one appreciate the simple
things of life. Anyone who does
not know the 'thrill of watching,
day after day, breath held, the
intricate unfolding of a new little
leaf on a tree or flower has miss­ed
one of life's most precious ex­periences.
(This is not recom­mended
for those of you who are
shortwinded.) Or the smell of
burning trash pouring into your
Window from the ash-cans out­side
— or the haunting sounds of
a dripping faucet — these are
the little things, things that per­haps
you never noticed before,
but which, all of a sudden, are
the most important things in your
life. And all this you gain by
simply givng up the physical
world for a while and living in
solitude and serenity.
Believe me, a day of solitude
will make a new person of you.
Three days will make you realize
how many of life's finest offer­ings
you ignore in the rush of
everyday life. And a week of it
will drive you nuts.

was an April Fool's joke. If you
know the average physical educa­tion
instructor's salary, your idea
of applying these funds to a li­brary
or a parking lot would be
an even bigger joke.
The physical weakness of the
United tSates has been pointed out
many times, but here in. The
Plainsman we have a true para­dox.
One individual realizing the
importance of physical training
and discipline; and the other per­son
wanting to do away with phy­sical
education.
The majority of the physical ed­ucation
program here at Auburn'
consists of popular sports and ac­tivities
which the normal indivi­dual
finds interesting and reward­ing.
It is indeed unfortunate that
at least one student has not found
this to be true.

Obviously it is unfair to men­tion

It should help^you dis­cover
for- yourself just what jazz
is.
And if you are going to be a
jazz fan, it is imperative that you
be able to recognize jazz when
you hear it, modern jazz that is.
Perhaps that is why people avoid
jazz; they are afraid. They feel
ignorant if they meet someone

who spouts off four more jazz
names than they know. But in all
probability, that guy is just as
ignorant. For the ignorance is
widespread. . It is disturbing to
me how many people confuse
modern jazz with other forms of
jazz. Some even say that Louis
Armstrong and Joe Turner play
"bop." (Incidentally, "bop" was
originally intended to describe
progressive music, not rock-'n-roll).
Even Benny Goodman does
not play modern jazz in the strict
sense. He does incorporate it, but
swing is still a dominant factor
in his music.
The foregoing should illustrate
the difficulty with which lines can
be drawn in jazz. But lines must
be drawn as a matter of simpli­city.
And to keep from being a
square you have to be able to rec­ognize
rock and roll, swing, boo­gie,
dixieland and modern jazz.
Many times you will find that
there is overlapping, as was illus­trated
with Goodman.
There is no good definition for
a square; but one thing is certain,
nobody wants to BE one. And
so, if you want to learn about jazz,
be able to discuss it, and above all
cultivate an enjoyment for it, I
commend to your reading the only
comprehensive book I have seen
on the subject, "The Encyclopedia
of Jazz (1955)," by Leonard Fea­ther.

Teacher-Training Program Review
By Twenty-Five Educators Here
Twenty-five educators from all
over the state have given Au-t>
urn*s School of Education ideas
which they think may help im­prove
the teacher-training pro­gram.
The points given may prove
tielpful to institutions other than
API. The educators believe that
most schools and colleges of ed­ucation
could incorporate their
proposals for more successful
(training.
The School of Education here
•was lauded last Wednesday by
Dr. A. D. Albright, director of
the Bureau of School Services at
the University of Kentucky. Dr.
Albright was one of the guest
critics in the API School of Edu­cation's
self-evaluation confer­ence.
"This institution is one of the
few taking an objective look at
the teacher training techniques
with a view toward constant im­provement,"
Dr. Albright said.
"It is promising and encouraging
in the light that education has
changed very little in the past
30 years. The high school cur­riculum
is essentially the same
as it was 30 .years ago. In the
elementary school you have a

"In the educational organiza­tion
we operate the same as when
the principal or superintendent
said whatever was to be done.
This concept, however, is no long­er
held by many.
."We seldom throw anything out
in the school program; we just
add onto what we have. Also,
we are reluctant to accept re­search
results because they might
not agree with what we believe."
The evaluation of its adminis­trative
training program is the
final conference of the summer
for the School of Education.
Letters To The Editor
McKEON (Cont'd from Page 5)
some points on which we very
strongly disagree with you. 'You
say that, "Six men from a group
of unruly recruits lost their lives
in a night disciplinary march
when, they floundered in a creek
and were unable to take care Of
themselves."
The manner in which this state-
Tnent is worded easily shows that
you are against the six recruits.
You say they were unruly, but
don't you think that this unruli-ness
was caused by their drill in­structor,
who drank on duty and
who seemed to be addicted to
slapping his trainees?
You say the recruits were un-
.able to take care of themselves.
McKeon himself said, "It was no
excuse that I had not been in the
area before and did not realize
that the stream we entered was a
tidal stream, or that it was unus­ually
deep for the area." Do you
think,any one could take care of
himself under those conditions?
Have you seen the .swamps in
South Carolina?. We have, and
we can hardly understand why
more of the recruits were not lost.
You say that McKeon was the
scapegoat? Your word "scape­goat"
implies that he was a vic­tim
of circumstances and that he
was unjustly tried and punished.
It is our contention that any per­son
who has the responsibility for
the lives of 74 individuals must
not display the stupidity and lack
of judgment that McKeon did.
McKeon, in disciplining the re­cruits
in an- unauthorized manner,
made a mistake that took six
lives. We believe that he should
have been severely punished for
his actions and that he can thank
God for the mercy of the court.
You mention the effect of the
McKeon incident on military dis­cipline.
. We sincerely hope it has
an effect on discipline, that mili­tary
discipline will become strict
enough to prevent a recurrence of
such an incident, and that drill in­structors
such as McKeon will not
be permitted to make such stupid
mistakes in our military training
programs. .
You say that everyone "would
prefer that such things: didn't have
to happen, but they do happen."
We do riot believe that such inci­dents
"have to happen." We be­lieve
there is no reason for any
loss of life in military training for
-which stupidity, lack of judgment,
carelessness, and such factors are
the cause. Human life is too sa­cred
for this. I
We are entirely in favor of good
discipline and good training for
our armed forces. ' As veterans we
know how necessary these are.
But we do not believe that the
Ribbon Creek Incident was either
of these.
We realize that, as editor of the
paper, you have a right to express
your opinion. We also think we
have a right to our opinion^ It
may be over 250 words but we
would like to see it printed.
Three Veterans
Two little boys were passing
a nudist/colony when'they notic­ed
a hole in the fence. As kids
will do, one went over to inspect
the goings on inside. "Hey, there
are a lot of people in there."
"Men or women?" asked the
other little boy.
"I dunno. They have no cloth­es
on."

ROTC Here To Give
Flight Instruction
API has been selected one of
the first of 38 educational insti­tutions
in the country to offer
Air Force ROTC flight instruction
under a program launched Aug. 1,
