New Centralized
Lost And Found
Depf. Established
The main desk in the lobby of
the Union Building is now the
headquarters of the new central­ized
lost and found department.
Items can be turned in as well as
picked up there. A daily collec­tion
of articles found by the
Building and Grounds Depart­ment
on any part of the campus
will be turned in at the main
desk where each article will be
tagged and a card describing it
put on file.
All articles not claimed within
90 days will be auctioned off to
the highest bidder. Tentative
plans are being made for the
money thus collected to be placed
in a scholarship fund or used on
some campus project.
The senate has been working
to get this department for about
two months. The big problems
were deciding how long articles
should be kept and finding a
good use for money collected
from auctions.

The Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency has ap­proved
a 40-year $2 million loan to API for the construction
of 240 a p a r t m e n t s for t h e use of m a r r i e d students.
Announcement of approval of the loan was made in
Washington last week by Senators Lister Hill and John
tor of Building and Grounds, r e ­ports
that of the 240 apartments
to be constructed, 160 of them
will be one bedroom units and
the other 80 units will be two
bedroom apartments. This pro­ject
will be composed of 19 dif­ferent
buildings varying from 8
to 20 apartments each. It is hoped
that plans will be completed this
spring so the project can be ad­vertised
and construction can be­gin
this .summer. It will be the
winter quarter of 1960 before the
apartments are completed for oc­cupancy.
The new apartments will be
located in the extreme northwest
corner of the campus area past
the present fraternity houses, at
the end of Magnolia Avenue.
Magnolia and Thach Avenue both
will .be extended to meet these
needs. The north section of the
project will be located at the
extension of Magnolia Ave., and
the south section will be at the
extension of Thach Ave.
Sparkman. David Mullins, execu­tive
vice-president said, "The
loan was applied for in the Fall
of 1956, and at that time a sur­vey
showed Auburn had 1890
married students. The loan ap­plied
for was for 40 years, at 2.75
per cent interest. The prelimi­nary
architectural work for the
apartment project has been done
and as soon as official approval
is received the architects will
proceed with the planning."
The Federal agency stipulates
that the money be used to build
a total of 240 apartments for
married students. The initial cost
of these .units will be borne by
the federal government in the
form of a loan to the school. The
debt will be paid by rent and no
part of the cost will be paid by
student fees. At the time of ap­plication,
in the Fall of 1956,
the rent for these apartments
was estimated to be $60-$72.50
m o n t h l y , utilities included.
Three fully equipped laundry
rooms were to be provided for
the tenants.

World Affairs
Conference Set
By Student Senate
Plans arc currently under way
in the student Senate to sponsor
a Student Conference on Inter­national
Affairs here, according
to Stewart McKnight, senior
senator.
McKnight, recent delegate to
the Student Conference on Nat­ional
Affairs at Texas A&M Col­lege,
is the co-chairman of the
coordinating Senate committee
along with Don Meadows, junior
senator.
The proposed conference, now
only in the ground-work stages,
may become a yearly campus
event and will likely be tailored
after the three year old Texas
A&M SCONA, to which API an­nually
sends delegates. Speeches
by leaders in international af­fairs
will be open to all students
and to the general public and
smaller seminar groups will limit
participation to delegates from
various colleges in Alabama,
Florida and Georgia.
With a successful conference of
this nature, the Senate expects
to arouse student interest and ac­tivity
in international affairs,
and to urge student awareness
of the present and future roles
which the United States will as­sume
as a vital leader of the
world.
McKnight states that the con­ference
will probably begin
sometime in March and last for
two days.
This project, which would be
the first permanent living facili­ties
provided by Auburn for its
married students and families,
is the first section of planned
housing for 500 student families.
Until now, some World War II
barracks have been in use as
housing' for the families of fac­ulty
members and graduate stu­dents.

Student Government Sponsors School
Of Leadership For Interested Students
Student Government is spon­soring
a convention of student
leaders for the purpose of aiding
them in various problems of good
leadership.
This convention will be held
in two sessions, the first on Jan.
27, and the second on Feb. 3, at
7:30 in the Union Ballroom. Each
of the sessions will last approxi­mately
two hours and will give to
those who attend some of the
basic steps in becoming a better
leader. ..-.>.--•-. ...
The first session will be con­ducted
by the Psychology De-
Lecture And Concert Committee
To Present Andrew Lytle Jan. 30
The Lecture and Concert Committee will sponsor a lec­ture
by Andrew Lytle on January 30 at 8:15 in the Union
Ballroom. Mr. Lytle's speech is entitled "Southern Fiction
and the Primacy of the Word."
• Mr. Lytle studied at Oxford University in England, at
Yale under George Pierce Baher,
partment and will- stress the
psychological methods by which a
leader can get maximum efficiency
from his group. The second ses­sion
will be under the supervi­sion
of the Speech Department
and will offer some of the leader­ship
techniques and responsibili­ties
of. the group leader.
Bob Lynn, superintendent of
organizations, says, "The main ob­jective
of this convention is to
give student leaders something to
jgut, into .pragtic^inthejj various
groups and organizations."
Letters have been sent out to
Senate members, Cabinet mem­bers,
chairmen of Village Fair,
fraternity and sorority presidents.
The convention is open to anyone
interested in this type of leader­ship.

and worked as a writer and ac­tor
in the theatrical world for a
few years. Since his first book,
"Bedford Forrest and His Crittur
Company" Lytle has concentra­ted
most of his literary efforts
on novels. His most recent work,
"The Velvet Horn," was pub­lished
only last year.
In his thirty years of writing
Lyytle has been a devotee of the
fictional novel. He received a
Guggenheim Fellowship in 1940
and the Kenyon Fellowship for
fiction in 1956.
Mr. Lytle's stories have ap­peared
in The American Harvest,
The Southern Harvert, Introduc­tion
to Literature, Best Stories of
the Year (1946), and several
other anthologies. He was also
editor of the Sewanee Keview
for a year.
Presently teaching at the Uni­versity
of Florida, Mr. Lytle has
held teaching positions at South­western
College in Memphis, the
University of Iowa, and Sewanee.

3-Man Team
To Study Needs
By Ann Morton
The Board of Trustees last
S a t u r d a y upon a recommen­dation
by President Draughon
appointed a t h r e e member
committee to chart a correc­t
i v e program for the School
of Engineering.
The committee will analyze
the immediate and long-range
needs of the school, and it is
hoped that its recommendations
will help to map plans to restore
accreditations to the electrical
and mechanical engineering de­partments.
The three men who will serve
on the committee are Dr. Ralph
Alexander Morgen, director of
Purdue University R e s e a r ch
Foundation; Professor Fred H.
Pumphrey, electrical engineer­ing,
University of Florida; and
Leo J. Lasaile, dean emeritus of
the School of Engineering, Lous-iana
State University.
Their first meeting will be held
next Sunday. They will probably
remain in session for one week
and thereafter meet from time
to time as necessary.
Dr. Draughon emphasized that
the board could not be expected
to correct the deep-seated finan­cial
problems that caused the loss
of accreditation. He also stated
that some $250,000 annually
would be needed to revise sala­ries
and employ more instruc­tors.
In addition, President Draugh­on
expressed hope that the com­mittee
wouJkjL blueprint an engi­neer
teaching program for the
next eight to ten years, plus an
effective graduate study pro­gram.
New Buildings Going Up In City
By Marion Ward
Construction is underway
for three new additions to
buildings located in the down­town
area. The largest is the
$150,000 addition to the First
National Bank which will
probably be completed by
January 1, 1959, according to
Fred A. Duran, president.
A $50,000 addition is planned
to extend from Dunlop and Har­well
Real Estate to the corner
of Magnolia Ave. and Gay St.
This project is due for comple­tion
by Feb. 1. Directly across

EXPANSION of the First National Bank of Auburn building
will result in this modern structure as sketched by Sherlock, Smith
and Adams of Montgomery, architect for the $150,000 project. A
drive-in teller window will be included in -the new building.
the street a $20,000 addition next
to Parker's department store is
in progress. Completion of this
project is expected within the
next couple of months.
The new addition to the bank
building will extend from the
College St. entrance east to a
drive-in teller window that will
adjoin the customer parking
area. There will be 3,760 square
feet of floor space which is more
than three times the space it now
has. The second floor when com­pleted,
will have 18 offices which
will be available for rental.
The building adjacent to the
Bank has been razed by the
building contractor, Auburn Ice
and Coal Co., and the actual con­struction
has already begun.
Dr.. R. G. Brownfield is the
owner of the Brownfield Build­ing

Copper Kettle will be very much
like a Toddle House or a Krystal
and will be open 24 hours a day
beginning the first part of Feb­ruary.
On. the second floor are
six offices which will contain a

Suggestion Box
Placed In Union
By Student Senate
A means has been provided by
the Senate for student complaints
and suggestions to reach the prop­er
authorities for action. A sug­gestion
box has been placed in
the Union Snack Bar to receive
constructive criticism from the
student body.
George Egge, chairman for the
project, stated, "Although most
students are not in complete agree­ment
with campus policies and
situations, they seldom let their
grievences be known to the prop­er
authorities. By means of this
suggestion box useful criticisms
may be made which will be re­viewed
by the Senate. Students
are urged to take advantage of
this opportunity instead of adopt­ing
the complacent attitude shown
in the past."
A student opinion poll will be
conducted by the Senate as an
additional effort to bring student
views to light. The poll, to be
taken by the senators sometime
in the near future will canvass
the dorms and fraternity houses.
Since it would be virtually im­possible
to contact all students by
this method, the poll is expected
to present only a cross section of
opinion.

Main Speaker Praises API Students
For Enthusiasm Shown Toward REW
By Kcnnie Holmes
Religious Emphasis Week began with a flash of enthus­iasm
that made the main speaker, Dr. Carl Adkins, praise
API students for their interest and participation. A retreat
and tea held Sunday afternoon started the week's activities,
but Monday's convocations were really the beginning of the
emphasis on this year's theme
"The Courage To Be."
"Be of good courage, and He
shall strengthen your heart, all
ye that hope in the Lord."—
Psalms 31:24. Dr. Carl Adkins
gave clarity and meaning to this
verse in his lecture "The Courage
That Life Demands." according
to students who attended Dr. Ad­kins'
Monday morning convoca­tion.
During his lecture, Dr. Adkins
stressed the fact that what a man
loves, he yearns for. "We are
shaped and fashioned by what
we love." Dr. Adkins went fur­ther
to say that since man is in­fluenced
by someone he loves or
respects that man should look
toward Jesus. "And that ybu
should yearn for no more than to
be like Him." The students that
attended this lecture seemed to
feel that Dr. Adkins presented
his topic with a power that shall
always leave an impression on
their hearts.
"In view of Monday's convoca­tion,"
said Dr. Adkins, "I think
the preparation that has gone
into the planning of this week
has been the most thorough I
have ever known." During this
same interview, Dr. tAdkins said,
"If the speakers do as well as
those thatjpregared the iprograms'
for "this week, REW "will be a
success."
Dr. Adkins had nothing but
praise for both REW committee
and Auburn students. He said
that he was personally gratified
at the eager and rapt attention
given to his lecture by the stu­dents.
He went even further to
praise API students by indicating
that the response he had at Mon­day's
convocation was the best
he had ever seen in all his visits
to college campuses across the
nation. "Students in many of the
Eastern colleges talk and read
while I am before them. Some
of them start reading a newspa­per
or book before I begin and
don't put them down during my
whole message," explained Dr.
Adkins.
Dr. Adkins is pastor of the
Daulphin Way Methodist Church
in Mobile, Ala. He has served as
minister to this church for 18
years. He has been making the
college rounds for almost 25
years and during this time has
visited the API c a m p u s five
times. He was introduced to the
minister field when he was a
small boy by an elderly pastor.
Dr. Adkins had no doubt from
the first moment that he would
like to become a- minister. He
said that he never minded leav­ing
his fireside or family to tra­vel
across the nation with his
message because of the wonder­ful
feeling of service he received
from delivering God's word.
Many students have said that
REW will be a success if the
lectures and seminars are as r e ­warding
as the convocation wiv-en
by Dr. Adkins. The REW com­mittee
urges all students to make
tomorrow the week's best day.
"Let's make this last day an ex­ample
of our Courage To Be."
Players To Present
The Moon Is Blue'

New Booklet Lists Financial Aid
Available Thru Student Scholarships
A new booklet entitled "Financial Aid at Auburn" has
been published by the college for the "guidance of two groups
interested in obtaining scholarship aid: prospective students
and their parents; and students already enrolled at Auburn,"
Included in the pamphlet are the types of financial aid avail­able,
qualifications required on
the part of the student and ways
of applying for the various loans,
gifts and awards.
Approximately 1,500 copies of
the new sixteen-page publica­tion
are available for those in­terested.
Many business and civic orga­nizations,
and individuals have
provided a number of scholar­ship
and loan funds to aid wor­thy
students who do not have the
means to pay all of their college
expenses.
Students should consult the
Scholarship Office (located in
the Small Animal Clinic Build­ing
for details on the financial
aid offered.
Generally, an entering fresh­man
is eligible for scholarship
consideration if he has grades of
"B" average or better and a
creditable record of extra-cur­ricula
activities.
An upperclassman is eligible
for scholarship and loan consid­eration
if he (1) has a creditable
scholastic record in college, (2)
will apply the loan to basic fees
and (3) will secure the loan by
promissory note with two en­dorsers,
one of whom must be his
father or guardian.
Financial assistance to grad­uate
students is available in
many departments offering grad­uate
degrees. Specific informa­tion
is available through the var­ious
heads.
Phi Eta Sigma
To Hold Smoker
Phi Eta Sigma, freshman schol­arship
honorary for men, is hav­ing
a smoker on Monday, Jan. 27
for all freshman men who made
a "B" average last quarter. The
purpose of the smoker, which
will be at 7 p. m. in the Banquet
Room of the Union Building, will
be to congratulate those students
with such an average and to en­courage
them to strive for mem­bership
in Phi Eta Sigma.
Membership in this honorary
is not restricted to any particular
school, but all freshman men
with a 2.5 point average are eli­gible.
The purpose of Phi Eta Sigma,
according to Mr. James E. Foy,
faculty advisor, is to recognize
and promote high scholarship
among freshman men. It has 96
chapters in the U. S. and the
API chapter has 40 members.
Letters of congratulations have
been sent to men who made a B
average last quarter inviting
them to attend the smoker. Cop­ies
of these letters have been
sent to their parents or guar­dians.

Opportunity is as a knock in the night,
it raps lightly and if not answered moves
on. As the Psalmist expressed it, "For the
wind passeth over it and it is gone; and
the place shall know it no more."
During this week we are being offered
an opportunity that if once set aside, can
never return. How much we take advan­tage
of the experiences and wisdom of
some of the wisest men in our churches
depends entirely upon ourselves.
Spiritual guidance is available to all of
us. In order to hear, appreciate, and under­stand,
we must have a quietness of mind
and be away from the worries and troubles
of our daily lives. We must look if we are
to find, we must be led if we expect to
lead our generation in the future.
Religious Emphasis Week is the oppor­tunity,
the time for spiritual guidance.
Many of us are to pressed by daily prob­lems

Senate Praised For
Lost And Found Action
Our hats are off to the Auburn Senate.
A while back the Plainsman ran an edi­torial
in regard to the organizing of a Lost
and Found Department. The Senate re­ported
that they would look into the mat­ter
but nothing more was said for a good
while. Some thought the Senate had gone
to sleep on the idea and many persons
were down on them because of this mis­understanding.
But yesterday the Senate came through
with flying colors as they passed the mo­tion
to start an organized Lost and Found
located at the Union Desk:
Now if you lose anything on the cam­pus,
instead of looking in all of your class-rooms;
j;!iQ,erely go to the Union Desk'and
inquire. ^Phis is no promise that the lost
article will be there. Although if everyone
is of true Auburn quality, all lostjaeticles
will be returned. M *-^^^ff-'.
Plans are under consideration for auc­tioning,
off all articles unclaimed after a
set number of days. The money in this
auction will go into the scholarship fund.
This is one of the better ideas that the
Senate has come up with in the past few
years because it benefits the whole stu­dent
body and is of interest to all. No one
likes to lose anything.
But aside from losing it is a great feel­ing
to return something of value to its
owner and hope that others will be as con­siderate
to you.
Many times students have lost some­thing
and had no way of advertising the
the fact or knew of no way of getting it
back. On various occasions a lost article
has been advertised in the Plainsman but
few people see the small ads.
Now the students have something defi­nite
to go to, something tangible, that
they can rely on when they have had the
misfortune of losing an article.
And they owe it all to the Senate . . .
who for awhile, no one thought would
come through. But they did, and they
came through in the highest kind of way.
They gave Auburn one of the most needed
things on the campus.

in the field of engineering education. And,
coming in from the outside as they are,
the report they make can be considered
unbiased.
Some of their report will be repetitious,
of course. They are sure to report some
things that the college has been telling the
state legislature for years. We need more
money for classrooms and higher teacher's
salaries. A report that revealed only this
fact would mean a wasted trip for the in­spection
team. Anyone can look at our
classrooms and see that they are over­crowded.
A simple comparison of pay
scales with other colleges will show that
our instructors are not paid as well as at
other schools. We need no experts to tell
us these things.
Years of experience in the field of en­gineering
instruction have prepared these
men to make a much more thorough eval­uation
of our engineering school.
All three are well qualified.
One is a former dean of the LSU school
of engineering. Another is head of the
electrical engineering department at rap­idly
growing University of Florida. And
the third is director of research at Purdue
University—long recognized as one of the
top engineering schools in the nation.
What they say about our engineering
school will be based on the standards set
by their own—a comparison of Auburn
with their own college.
We are anxious to see how our class­rooms,
labs and facilities compare; how
our pay scale measures up; and how the
curricula, instruction and administration
of our school of engineering stack up as
compared with the University of Florida,
LSU and Purdue.

Alexander the great wept when he had
conquered the world. The whole world

In time we may become the best—the
best architects, engineers, or business men,

A COLUMN
Whistle Off-Key
If Anna Russell's contortions,
distortions and antic cuts accom­plish
at all what a big ticklish
feather can not, they have some
worth in their sharp and satiric
stabs at settled convention and
sentimental tradition. She is
not pleasantly so.
Miss Russell, long cast in the
jestor's role, ably plays her part,
She jests well—on par with her
facility at the bag-pipes—and
she can somehow gyrate accord­ingly.
The slap-stick is her spec-ialy;
she is not interested in subt­lety
or audience chuckles.
I feel sure that Miss Russel's
versatility allows her to over­look
the incompetencies of her
voice. She does not contend, of
course, to be able to sing. Far be
it from me to refute her. She is,
however, a woman of great oral
splendor and awakening volume.
BY CARLISLE TOWERY
This is fortunate and somewhat
of a sonsolation.
Nose-thumbing, always de­lightful
and amusing, is fully
employed by Miss Russell. "Con­temporary"
music is among her
peaves. "The more off-key you
are," she says of melody-less
modern music, "the more con­temporary
you are."
Miss Russell is off-key in more
ithan tonal qualities. To be "con­temporary"
we have to be one of
a group. We have to walk, dress
talk and act like the one closest
to us. We have to whistle the
same tuneful tune.
What Miss Russell must know
is that with everybody whistling
on key, only the rare admirable
individual dares to forget the
hackneyed melody and whistle
what he pleases.
WILLIE WRITES
Critical Analysis
Often we tend to think most
profoundly on the way, how, and
when factors that constitute a/id
enclose our college life. Many,
upon careful inspection, find tha'
they are unable to eplain in anj
satisfactory manner just what
purpose they intend to fulfill up­on
meeting their graduation re­quirements.
Certainly this is
slightly disconcerting in light of
the purported fact that a college
education is an end in itself.
While in college, we are blandly
confronted with the real-there is
more after college. This quite
often extends our concept of fu­ture
plans, but there is no reason
that all dreams should be shat­tered.
This can be a test of
whether or not what we have se­lected
as our goal in life has en­durance.
Many students have to
adjust their sights and aim at a
new target in order to gain satis­faction
of conscience. Others
merely become entangled in the
profoundity of their genius, and
the yoften give up the ship—al­though
they possess the neces­sary
yachting equipment.
One askes himself, "Why am I
in college?" A good question! It
could be the fulfillment of a par­ent's
lifelong dream. To a few
it could be the suitable habitat for
obtaining a mate. There are even
those who seek an education to
provide a background for their
chosen field. Of course, we en­counter
those mercenaries that
necessarily contend that with col­lege
in the background, "easy
street" lies directly ahead. It is
with such parasitic growth that
our future lies. There must be an
BY DON WILLIAMS
even greater number of those who
have the right perspective in the
placement of the college in the
overall scheme of life to counter­act
this detrimental influence in
our society.
How am I in college? The ans­wer
to this is probably the most
tangible aspect of college life that
we encounter. One may be an en-rollee
in school due to the aid of
friends, parents, loans, or the
grace of God. Upon analysis, one
can find the proper place in which
to place his thanks for the op­portunity
that is his. A cognizance
of this proper place often helps
one to realize that he is not the
only entry in the race.
When do I exercise the back­ground
that I gain in my college
curriculum? Too often we place
too much emphasis on the fu­ture
in that we overlook the ad­vantage
that the present affords.
College life, as is LIFE, is not
something that is going to hap­pen
at one precise moment, but
rather, it is a gradual process that
must be taken one step at a time.
Certainly, we should enjoy and
benefit from the experiences of
our day-to-day contact with
classes, professors, social groups,
and the numerous small things
that we generalize as college life.
Four years, in one sense, is a great
deal of time; It should be mean­ingful
as it is spent.
In our pensive moments, we
sometimes tend to confuse the
issue rather than to clarify it. I'm
reminded of the optometrist that
fell into his glass-making machine
and made a spectacle of himself. •
Wineing, Dining Playboys
From the Intercollegiate Press
comes word that Northern Mon­tana
College men are now tak­ing
their girl friends out to din­ner
every night.
How can the boys afford this
'makeout at mealtime'? Coeds
and men students all eat at the
same dining hall, that's how.
Certain 'ground rules' have
been adopted to keep the even­ings
on a highly cultured plane.
For instance, women are barred
from appearing for meals in pe­dal
pushers, peans, slacks, or
similar dress or with their hair
in pincurls or covered with
scarfs. And men students are de­nied
the.^j-irivilege of wearing
tee shirts cis outer garments.
The social advantages would
be tremendous. Not the least of
which would be a greater moti­vation
to practice rules of table
etiquette.
The eating situation here at
Auburn doesn't seem too condu­cive
to such a practice. Still it
could come to pass. Remember,
they laughed at Columbus when
he sailed west, they laughed at
Einstein and at Frank Snurdle-witz,
too.
(They were right about Frank;
he was a complete idiot.)

The Vanderbilt Hustlers in one
of its recent editorials comments
on the loss of accreditation in
the electrical and mechanical en­gineering
departments. The edi­torial
read as follows:
"One day not so long ago there
was a big celebration in the town
of Auburn, Ala., site of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute.
"The occasion was the presen­tation
of the Associated Press
trophy to the Auburn football
team for coming out on top in
the final AP football rankings.
"There was another story about
this particular institution in the
papers about the same day, but
it did not cause any rejoicing in
the 'Loveliest Village of the
Plains." This article related that
Auburn's EE and ME depart­ments
had lost their accredita­tion
from the Engineers Council
for Professional Development.
"It is a coincidence that these
two stories were in the papers
the same day? Probably. Some
Monday morning quarter-back­ing
however might lead one to
believe that Auburn alumni had
been out hustling to get better
profs or campaigning for higher
rushing prospective f o o t b a ll
players, then the school would
not have gotten in trouble with
the ECPD nor with the SEC for
too avid recruiting either."
The Hustler was not the only
newspaper to give this story con­spicuous
coverage. Many daily
papers filled their editorial pages
with comments—made from a
distance without actual first hand
knowledge of the situation—on
BY JIM KILPATRIC
the subject. All of which it seems
to me goes to prove that in the
journalists' lingo, Auburn is hot
copy. The school with the na­tion's
number one football team
is very much in the public eye.
Some good licks for ole API
could be gotten in simply by
publicizing the many, many good
things that go on around War
Eagle country.
And as for the loss of accredi­tation
and the presentation of
the Associated Press trophy com­ing
on the same day, it was as
the Vanderbilt editor suggested:
simply a coincidence. The an­nouncement
that Auburn's IFC
was number one in the nation
came at about the same time, too.

At the University of Mississip­pi,

other student organizations and
inviting the faculty to enter into

You have heard of an absent

in, called the wrong roll, and then
gave us a 30 minute, lecture on
people cutting classes.
The second day of class he
walked in, straightened his tie,
and pulled off his coat because it
was a little warm. He had for­gotten
his shirt.
Now even this isn't enough to
make me remember this one spec­ial
prof. Things like this happen
every day at this mixed up school.
One day I stopped him on the
street to ask him the time and
also get in a few bonus brownie
points. When we finished talking,
he ask, "Which way was I going?"
I informed him that he was walk­ing
toward the main gate and he
replied, "Good, good, that means
that I have already eaten lunch
and that saves me a dollar."

Here is the dirty, confidential,
top-secret, mum, shocking, un-adultrated
truth ab6ut the no­torious
band of agents known as
the Girly Gestapo. You have no
doubt read of their corrupt and
prejudicial organization in the
papers, but now, NOW, here is
the real truth, the unvarnished
facts told to us by a former high
officer.
We were sitting in our dimly
lit office one day last week smok­ing
our collective cigarettes and
looking disconsolately at our col­lective
typewriters when a fig­ure
dressed in black slithered
into the place. We could tell im­mediately
that it wasn't a snake,
because the purple shaft tatooed
on her left wrist marked her as
a member of the Girly Gestapo.
I could tell there was some­thing
desperate in her appear­ance
so I told her to come into
the back room where she would
not be seen. Then she said, "I
want to get the whole rotten
mess off my mind. I just broke
with the G. G." I was stunned.
I knew what this meant. The
poor girl had been kicked out of
school.
After I calmed her down, she
got down to the facts in the
story. I lit her a cigarette and
gave her a drink of my gin. Then
she started. "I had a date the
other night with We
went out to the War Eagle and
danced awhile. Well,
was drinking pretty hard and af­ter
awhile, he spilled some
on my dress. I tried to wash it
off but it wouldn't come out very
good."
"He took me in about 10:45
and while I was signing in,.
came to the desk to get a phone
call. Well, of course, I knew then
I had had it. It was me who was
getting the purple shaft instead
of giving it. Then I knew how all
those poor boys had felt when I
had given it to them."
• "The next Tuesday night I was
called up before the Grand Coun­cil,
known as the Kangaroo
Court. Here I had my charges
BY SAM HOUSTON
formally read against me and
an open ballot was taken. When
I was found guilty, I was stripped
of my G. G. button and had my
head shaved. I was then cam-pused
for four quarters."
"I just couldn't stand the em­barrassment
and so yesterday, I
resigned from school."
Well, there you have it. I only
wish I could tell all the girls to
watch it, because the G. G. is out
to get you."

The Parkers addition, owned
by Harwell Davis, U. S. District
Attorney from Montgomery, will
also have 3,600 square feet of
floor space. In the downstairs
portion a pre-teenage s t o r e,
Jack' and Jill, will be opened by

a storage space. Conner Brothers

and the architects are
Pearson, Tiddle and Narrows of
Montgomery.
Approximately six months ago,
Mr. J. M. Dunlop of Dunlop and
Harwell Real Estate, Inc., sug­gested
the projects, except for
the bank expansion. Since that
time, he has helped considerably
in the planning and building of
these projects.
Contrary to what many people
think, it is not necessary for a
man to live in Auburn for any
length of time before he can
start a business. According to
Mr. W. W. Hill, City Hall repre­sentative,
when starting a busi­ness
in Auburn, one must meet
the rules of the Southern Build­ing
Code and meet the approval
of the City Building Inspector.
After this he must apply at Au­burn
City Hall for a contract. It
is then possible for him to start

Samford Bell Takes Brief Vacation;
Failure Of Weight Causes Silence
By Befka DeRing
The voice of Samford tower
clock, traditional symbol of API,
did not question the early morn­ing
silence of the Loveliest Vil­lage
of the Plains on Monday,
Jan. 13.
The tolling of the bell, a sig­nal
for changing classes since
April 18, 1889, resumed Wednes­day
after a small weight was re­paired.
This intricate machine, has been
maintained by Mr. J. M. Whitman
of Building and Grounds since
1937. Originally controlled by a
series of weights, the Seth Thomas
clock was electrified in 1944 and
since that time the main cause for
temporary inaccuracy has been
power failure.
A syncronous motor, the size
of an alarm clock, minute when

compared to the 4,200 pound Clen-ton
Meneely bell which it controls,
is also the motivation for the
hands on the four faces, each
seven feet in diameter.
When API was still in infancy
and the tongue of the bell was
a clapper instead of an electric
hammer, a Negro janitor, George
Mitchell, who still lives in Au­burn,
rang the bell for each hour's
change of class. The timepiece was
also wound by hand, a process of
raising 1,100 pounds of weights
to the top of the tower every
eight days.
The clock was converted to
electricity not only for more ac­curacy
and easier handling, but
also because the tower, a struc­ture
of immense timbers joined
by pegs, was bending under the
load of the massive weights.
From the uppermost level in
the tower, a panoramic view of
the campus may be seen from
small windows in the faces of the
clock itself.
Since Building and Grounds
assumed the responsibility of
maintaining the famous clock, the
time has been checked weekly
with Western Union and the mov­ing
parts have been serviced every
two months.

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Westport's "Mr. Telephone Company"
The Westport, Connecticut, office of
Southern New England Telephone Com­pany
is managed by John F. Lehr, A.B.,
Yale, '52. In Westport, John is "Mr.
Telephone Company."
"This job has everything," John says;
"responsibility, independence, a chance
to contribute to the community as well
as the company. I have 8600 accounts
in my office, and every one of those ac­counts
is a person who has to be pleased
with our telephone service. I'm in close
contact with the town officials, and take
part in many civic activities. Needless
to say, it's a very interesting assignment.
"How I happened to choose a career
with the telephone company tells you
something about the business. After a
dozen or so interviews with various
finns, I picked the telephone company
because it offered two tilings I was look­ing
for—immediate opportunity, and
long-range opportunity, loo.
"You see, I was married in my senior
year at college, so I wanted a career
where I could start with a good salary,
and get the training I'd need to advance
in the shortest possible lime. Thai's what
I wanted immediately.
"The rapid expansion of the telephone
business assured me of the long-range
opportunities, because thai expansion is
creating more and more management
positions to be filled. In fact, here I ant,

the intercollegiate YMCA move­ment.
From 1923 until 1933 the
YMCA continued to offer reli­gious
training and service, but
trained leadership was lacking
during this ten year period. Fin­ally,
without the support of the
administration the YMCA passed
from the picture.
Because of the ever-increasing
number of women enrolled in
the college, the YMCA also
served the campus, but it too
faded out after 1933.
Religious Emphasis Week had
its beginning in 1939 and has
continued since that date. In­fluential
spiritual leaders were
brought to the campus in coope­ration
with the administration
and various religious organiza­tions.
Before 1949, however, the
program did not last a week.
Each convocation sponsored a
special guest speaker and each of
the different religious organiza­tions
worked together to provide
music, ushers, and other needed
services.
A young German Jewish refu­gee
was the last chairman of the
Interfaith Council, which spon­sored
REW until 1949. To this
young man, gifted with an extra-oordinary
executive ability, API
is indebted for the present SCRA.
Hubert Kohn interested the ad­ministration
and students in the
organization of the Student
Council on Religious Activities.
During the nine years since
the organization of SCRA, Re­ligious
Emphasis Week has
grown until eacli and every stu­dent
is provided an opportunity
to attend seminars, convocations,
and house discussions. Religiaus
Emphasis Week is devoted to
bringing to API religious leaders
who attempt to help students and
faculty alike overcome preju­dices
through understanding one
another's religion and to light
the way for a personal and vig­orous
delving into the depths of
one's own faith.

ROOM TO GROW
There's plenty of room to grow
at DuPont. One reason is that
the very diversity of our products
and processes requires specialists
in almost every area of science
and engineering. Another reason
is that DuPont continues lo ex­pand
in many new directions.
For example, in 1957 sales
reached $2 billion. Four new
plants were being built. New re­search
projects were launched,
new products marketed.
In 1957, too, new technical
men joined DuPont in chemical,
civil, mechanical, metallurgical,
electrical, industrial, petroleum
and- mining engineering; in
atomic energy, instrumentation,
chemistry, physics, mathematics
and many other fields.
All this activity points to as
bright a future today as ever be­fore
in our long history. There's
a place for the good graduate in
this picture. If you would like
more specific information on op­portunities
at Du Pont, we invite
you to sign up for a Du Pont
interview with your placement
director.
DU PONT SUMMER JOB
GIVES YOU A CHANCE
TO EARN AND LEARN
DuPont offers college juniors and
qualified sophomores in technical
fields the opportunity to earn college
expense money this summer while
they learn more about the kind of
work that will be open to them when
they graduate.
The Company has 75 plants and 98
laboratories located across 26 states
—a spread that often gives the student
a chance to work in or near his own
section of the country. Some of these
locations have openings for summer
employment in 1958.
Students work side by side with
practicing engineers and scientists. In
this way they gain valuable experience
lo supplement classroom theory.
Last year, 407 students from 113
colleges took advantage of this pro­gram.
Du Pont pays round-trip trans­portation
expenses from home or
school to place of employment. Stu­dents
are not obligated to continue
with the Company after graduation.
For complete details on this pro­gram,
check with your college place­ment
director.

Personalized Training
Relates to Policy of
Promotion from Within
Where do your interests lie? What
courses have you taken? What are
your special abilities? Du Pont tries
to match these factors with available
jobs to determine your first job as­signment
within the Company.
Once the assignment is made, the
Company helps you apply your knowl­edge
to a problem right away. You
learn by doing—in consultation with
your supervisor and others working
on various phases of the same project.
Your performance on the job is evalu­ated
periodically, so you always know
where you stand in the eyes of your
management.
As you might guess, Du Pont's per­sonalized
training is closely related
to its promotion policy. Almost all
advancement is made from within the
Company, so if your supervision has
indicated that you are ready for pro­motion,
and an opening occurs for
which your training has prepared •
you, you are sure to be considered.
Although Du Pont employs about
90,000 people, management authority
is decentralized through many depart­ments
into small groups—small enough
so that the new man's capabilities can
be recognized quickly. This type of
organization, plus the Company's
steady growth, produces many oppor­tunities
for the new man.
Du Pont, over the past 25 years, has
spent $1 on research for every $3 on
production facilities.
The Du Pont Representative Will Visit The Campus January 28-31

Say Living There Is 'Fabulously Funr
By Margaret Jones
Whether shampooing rugs
on their hands and knees or
e n t e r t a i n i n g their dates with
l a t e coffee, the girls in Geor­gian
House and t h e Duplex
describe living there as "fab­ulously
fun." They may burn
t h e banana cream pie, b u rn
t h e popovers when guests a re
coming, get spoons and even
their fingers in t h e electric
mixer but still they enjoy liv­ing
there.
These girls, nine in Georgian
House and twelve in the Duplex,
are home economics majors tak­ing
their turn at living in and
running a house. The chores are
divided and passed around so
each girl has a turn at cooking,
planning the meals, doing the
laundry, and being the house
cleaner. Of these tasks, cooking is
the least popular. They claim
that the cook spends 16 hours a
day in the kitchen. Though this
may be a slight exaggeration, all
the household routine does r e ­s'*
vol ve around mealtime.

must live one quarter in either
the Georgian House or the Du­plex.
Both of these are furnished
just like a home with all the
modern conveniences. They even
have dishwashers furnished but
the girls in Georgian House in­sist
that to get the dishes clean
they have to wash them before
putting them in the dishwasher.
The Duplex is divided into two
units. The south side has gas ap­pliances
and is furnished in Early
American furniture. The .north
side has electric appliances and
is furnished in contemporary fur­niture.
The girls live in one side
six weeks and then switch to the
other to gain experience in using
both gas and electrical equipment.
The houses are operated on a
budget. For the first six weeks of
a quarter they have what is called
the low budget—an allowance of
75 cents per person per day for
meals. At first the girls were sure
they would starve, but they
learned to use ground meat in
every possible way and also be­came
quite proficient at preparing
one dish meals.
The high budget of $1.10 per
person per day allows much lux­uries
as steak, ham and chicken.
Even with the high budget a tense
situation still develops each week
when the checker at the grocery
store begins totaling up the bill
for the items the hostess-manager
has collected. Each one of the
girls, having served a term as
hostess-manager, can still re­member
the endless worrying
and waiting for the checker to
announce the total and then sigh­ing
with relief when the cost was
pennies less than the budget
called for or groaning with pain
when it was more than the budget
allowed.
The girls entertain frequently
during the quarter. The dean of
the home economics department
and several faculty members have
been dinner guests. Perhaps their
most frequent guests are their
dates who are invited over for
dinner or coffee. Sometimes the
dates even get involved in the
cooking and working themselves.
There is only one bad feature
to living in either of the houses
assert the girls. During the quar­ter
they are allowed one long
weekend..;(two nights)) or two
short weekends (one night each
time) away from the campus.
Even with this disadvantage, the
general consensus is that they
hate to see their time there end.
JANE SCHAUER is "watching the pot" while Barbara Smith
stirs the contents of said pot, which is reported to be a mid-afternoon
snack for the girls in Georgian House, one of the two
home management houses operated by the school of home eco­nomics.

"There's no reason why a
fellow who r e a l ly wants a
college education cannot have
it today." The gist of this
sentence has been expressed
many times over by e l d e r s en­couraging
youth to prepare
themselves for a profitable
future.
Just such an opportunity is in
operation on the Auburn campus
in the form of the Naval Re­serve
Officers' Training Corps.
Approximately 300 students are
getting their educations through
its provisions and fulfilling their
military obligations at the same
time. The local NROTC unit is
one of 52 such outfits on the
campuses of the nation's leading
colleges and universities.
Students in the Naval program
fall into two categories, regular
and contract. The regular stu­dents
are selected in nation-wide
competition on the basis of tests
administered in every state prior
to college entrance. This test is
followed by a thorough physical
examination, interviews by US
Naval officers and final selec­tion
by a Selection Board in the
candidate's state. When the stu­dent
is accepted by his chosen
school, the Navy will pay for all
tuition, fees, books, uniforms and
give the student $50 per month
for expenses. Upon graduation
he is commissioned an ensign in
the U. S. Navy, and serves four
years.
The contract student, on the
other hand, is selected on the
basis of tests administered by
the school he plans to attend and
final selection in this case is

To Conduct Group
On European Tour
Do you want to see the sunlit
French Riviera, the moon-kissed
waters of Naples? Want to visit
Europe? Here's the opportunity:
Harry Lowe, of the Art De­partment,
is taking approximate­ly
fifteen people on a guided
tour of Europe this summer. The
tour will last eight weeks and
present plans include Monaco,
France, England, Belgium, Hol­land,
G e r m a n y , Switzerland,
Italy, and San Marino in the iti­nerary.
The itinerary is not con­crete
and may be s l i g h t ly
changed as Mr. Lowe is still por­ing
over his maps, trying to work
in as many high-spots as possible.
The people who will go on the
trip will meet in Auburn several
times before this summer so they
can get to know each other and
receive valuable tips from Mr.
Lowe. The group will meet in
New York the 23rd of June and
sail the next day. They will tra­vel
by the Mediterranean route,
arriving at Genoa, but will r e ­turn
from a different port—
Naples. While in Europe, trans­portation

Large Crowd Hears Anna Russell :-•—-.'
By Roger Mathis
Anna Russell, famous the world
over for her comic singing, made
her Auburn debut at the Student
Activities Building last Wednes­day
night before a nearly packed
house.
Miss Russell did everything
imaginable for a female comic
singer to do. She did impersona­tions
of singers and pianists; she
spoofed everything from opera to
Russians; she played the bagpipe
and piano; she sang in six dif­ferent
languages; and she posed,
while on stage, for camerabugs
and wise-cracked with people in
the audience. She kept everyone
chuckling throughout the per­formance,
and several times her
comic antics brought laughter that
rocked the auditorium.
"Schlumph," written by Miss
the group's private bus. Mr.
Lowe states that for scenery,
convenience, and economy, this
is the best mode of travel.
There will be with the group
at all times a guide from the vis­ited
country. A courier will be
present part time.
Russell as is all material used in
her shows, was a "Russian" song
which had the house rollicking
with laughter several times. Miss
Russell impersonated a Russian
statesman talking to his people.
He tells them how happy they are
and how they should laugh and
have a good time. When he does
get them to laugh, he shouts for
them to be quiet and listen to
what he is saying.
In a Bagpipe number Miss Rus­sell
showed the audience what she
calls an "undressed" bagpipe. She
"dressed" it, put it together on
stage and explained how to play
it. She then played it, tramping
arount the stage impersonating a
Scotsman.
"Introduction to a. Concert,"
was a monalogue in which Miss
Russell impersonated the presi­dent
of a woman's club introduc­ing
a singer. The singer turns out
to be a substitute because, as
Miss Russell puts it, the other
singer has been in bed all week
with the doctor and is having a,
perfectly horrible time.
Miss Russell, brought to Au­burn
as a result of the Concert
and Lecture series, is essentially
a comic, but several times in her
performance when she quieted her
comic antics, her ability as a good
singer was noticed and appre­ciated.

If you answered "No" to all questions, you obviously
smoke Camels — a real cigarette. Only 6 or 7 "No"
answers mean you better get on to Camels fast. Fewer
than 6 "No's" and it really doesn't matter what you
smoke. Any thing's good enough!
But if you want to enjoy smoking as never before,
switch to Camels. Nothing else tastes so rich, smokes
so mild. Today more people smoke Camels than
any other cigarette. The best tobacco makes the
best smoke. Try Camels and you'll agree!

4 That FirsMn-The Nation Job By 'Shug'
Isn't The Only Good One Done Here
Just like it says above . . . from the notebook:
And how about a word, in the miudle of an annual SEC basket­ball
chase after Kentucky's "weaker-this-year" Wildcats, about an­other
big league job being done right here at Auburn?
In general, the subject is wrestling—the grunt-'n-groan business
that college folks, strangely and unfortunately, don't care about to
any high degree.
In particular, though, the opening topic for Wednesday
morning discussion is Arnold "Swede" Umbach—the mat man
who probably gets less attention than any winning coach in any
sport anywhere.
Over there dcross the way. under the basketball talk (things
being what they are, coach, it HAS to go there), are the details.
And in case you wondered, there's not a typographical' error
in the whole thing.
Where you read "eleven consecutive SEC championships" is
right. The same goes for the bit about "only two squad members had
wrestled before coming to Auburn."
For the first week of February, the Sports Arena wouldn't
be a bad place for a sports-goer to spend his evenings. That's
when "Swede" brings the boys home for final display before
the Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association kicks off
its tournament at Emory.
Only a suggestion, mind you.
And while the bouquets are being passed around, don't forget
the graying gentleman whose hair, surely, is getting grayer as the
basketball nights come and go. ... _ ,
Joel Eaves can have my vote, for what it's worth, as the
man most often caught in the web of trying circumstances in
this oh-so-trying basketball year.
First, there was Henry Hart, the sparkplug, lying on the floor
with a heart-breaking knee injury.
"It can't be helped now," was the Eaves reply. "We'll just have
to forget about it."
Then came a road trip so long and tough that its kind
should be outlawed.
"Can't pack 'em in at our place, so we HAVE to play away from
home."
That's two strikes, already, coach.
But the gentleman who IS a gentleman has made it plain—
very plain—that he and his youngsters do not intend to make the
1957-58 Auburn basketball effort a futile one . . . Regardless of what
the unknowing think.
"I still think we are a pretty darn good ball club," is his word
(with the emphasis on S T I L L ) . " And I'm not going to give up
on the boys . . . not by a long shot.
That, always, is good reasoning . . . what ever you're doing.
" I don't know. Maybe it's my fault . . . Maybe I'm not doing
a good job of coaching."
And that is the first time I ever heard Joel Eaves say some
thing which is NOT true.
CUFF NOTES: "Po' Devil" Hart is out and about now, and glee­fully
reports he is on the recovery road from the Thanksgiving opera­tion
that fixed up the torn cartilage in his knee. Exercises Include
lifting a 12-pound lead weight strapped to the ankle nightly, plus
(and this he likes) playing basketball though it's only half-speed
Another injured Tiger, soph Bayward McManus, isn't as lucky,
the collarbone the spunky little Georgian broke a couple of
weeks ago has kept him pretty much on the sidelines. McManus
was hitting 58.7 per cent of his shots from the field before the
injury. Eaves, whose eyes sparkle every time he talks about the
scooter, says McManus was a perfect picture of dejection when
they told him he was out for the year. . .
Despite frequent erraticness, Eaves and frosh coach Bill Lynn
are happy of the way 6-11 Walt Jackson, the Baby Tiger from New
Jersey, has been coming along. The big guy has taken a lot of abuse
lately from folks who call themselves Auburn fans. I f he makes the
grade, I want to shake the hand of a man with what they politely call
"courage."
BY THE WAY: Jack Crouch, the quiet one with the loud batting
average, is getting an early, early jump on SEC-type pitching. The
All-SEC third baseman who may be somewhere else in the Tiger
infield come Spring is doing some running already at Plainsman Park,
the Spring home of the Tigers. . . .
Don Coughlin, who had this sports writing job on last sum­mer's
Plainsman, is moving up in his chosen field. The funny
man was banging away at his typewriter last Saturday at the
Tiger-Tide tilt in Montgomery. Coughlin has been with the Mont­gomery
Advertiser a couple of months.
"Red" Phillips impresses as a man who doesn't realize what a
celebrity he really is. When this notcbooker called the Phillips home
to tell "Red" of his selection as the Plainsman's "Most Outstanding
Player," all he could say was, "Really? I sure appreciate it."
Biggest laugh of the "Phillips Day" proceedings came at the
banquet last Wednesday night. One Alex City citizen stepped to the
rostrum, threw open his coat, displayed a sweater with "Ohio State"
inscribed across his chest, and boomed: "WHOM have they played?"
The defense rests, Mr. Hayes.

Tigers Engage Yellowjackets Wed.;
Encounter Bulldogs In Saturday Fracas
By J im Davis
Joel Eaves and his basketball team will invade Georgia
this week in hopes of p u t t i n g an end to the Auburn basket­ball
drought.
The Tigers go to work Wednesday night against Georgia
Tech in t h e Alexander Memorial Coliseum in Atlanta. I t ' s the
two teams' annual "unofficial'
meetings, not counting in SEC
standings.
Auburn then travels to Colum­bus
Saturday night to do battle
with the Bulldogs of Georgia.
Both games will begin shortly
after 8, following f r e s h m an
games which begin at 6:30.
Georgia Tech, a seasoned team
in spite of its youth, banks heav­ily
on two junior guards, Bud
Elemker and Terry Randall.
These two dead-eyes are two of
thg ...be£t...guards,,. in .the ..confer­ence;
their ball-hawking and
sharp outside shooting put an
end to Mississippi State's spot­less
record a couple of weeks
ago.
Sophomore Dave Denton will
return from a week of sickness
to lead the Jacket rebounding.
Phillips and Johnson round out
the starting lineup for Tech.
league play and have a 9-5 all-over
record.
The Bulldogs' record is mot as
impressive as Tech's, but coach
Red Lawson fields a strong team
for the Athens clash. Georgia,
led by captain Ray Allen, brings
a 2-3 record into the game. After
starting the season with some
fine victories, including one over
Tech, the 'Dogs were caught in
the web of a long road trip and
their record suffered.
Joel Eaves' lineup will be the
same he has used all the way
since a pre-season injury took
Henry Hart, the star guard, out
of play. Capt. Rex Frederick, the
team's leading scorer, and soph­omore
Shot Johnston team at for­wards.
Bill Gregory will be at
the pivot and Jimmy Lee and
Bobby Tucker are guards.
Auburn is 5-6 for all games
Whack Hyder's forces are 3-1 in! and has a 1-3 league record.
Freshmen Look To Tech For Revenge,
Move On To Columbus Saturday Night
By Houston Kennedy
This week should be the toughest yet for Bill Lynn's
Baby Tigers. They play Georgia Tech tonight in Atlanta and
then move to Columbus for a Saturday night tilt with
Georgia.
Both games will be preliminaries to v a r s i t y action.
Auburn and Tech got an intro- ward Don Fuell, the footballer
duction here Wednesday n i g ht
with the Engineers coming out
on top, 77-70. The Tigers led at
intermission, but some hot shoot­ing
and a good zone put Tech
ahead to stay late in the game.
Joe Woods was high point man
for the Tigers with 19. He was
closely followed by Porter Gil­bert,
who sacked 18.
Saturday night was another
losing one for Auburn, who again
saw a-harftimtrdBadv^gor'out "the
window.
The Tigers led Alabama by 13
at one point, but by halftime the
margin had dwindled to three
points. 'Bama pulled away in the
last few minutes to win it, 79-64.
Top scorers were Gilbert, with
22, and Walt Jackson and David I
Vaughan, who had 15 each.
FROSH BRIEFS: Starting for- '
hurt in the Tech game Wednes­day,
is still out with a bad knee
. . . Old friends met Saturday
in Montgomery. Gary Blagburn,
Alabama's starting guard, Woods
and Gilbert, Auburn's guards,
played for the North in the
North-South All-Star high school
game in Tuscaloosa last August.
Reserve Tiger Jimmy Douglas

Woods, the 6-footer from state
champion Woodlawn, has been
the most improved freshman
lately. A non-scholarship athlete,
he has led the team in scoring
two of the last three games. f
It has been said over at the
fitld house that Porter Gilbert is
the greatest freshman prospect to

Undefeated Wrestlers Prep For Maryville, VPI Matches
By J a y Grandy
A sign in t h e Sports A r e n a dressing room states that you
should consider it a privilege to wrestle for Auburn. After
looking at t h e record, it's h a r d to argue with the sign.
The Tigers have dominated college wrestling in the
South, winning the SEC championship matches the last 11
years in succession.
And the 1958 teani is threaten­ing
to follow in the footsteps of
its forerunners. "Swede" Um-bach's
Tigers have won their only
three matches this year, defeat­ing
Emory, 29-3, Marshall, 24-6,
and VMI, 21-5. All the victories
came in a joint match held in
Auburn last month.
Returning to this year's squad
are two SEC champs—Gerald
Cresap, 130-pounds, and Ar­nold
Haugen, 157 pounds—and
Emery Kirkwood and Max
Branum, who were second in
UMBACH—He's still winning
...-v,A' •'•••:-
6—THE PLAINSMAN Wednesday, Jan. 22, 1958
the SEC in the 167-pound and
177-pound classes respectively.
Sophs George McCray and
Leonard Ogburn are the leading
contenders in the 123-pound and
147-pound classes, while Bob
Mason, the only senior on the
team, heads the 137-pound group.
Haugan and Kirkwood have
changed divisions, and Ken
Green—injured before Christmas
—may give Haugan a scrap for
the match position in the 167-
pound division. In the heavy­weight
class, Charlie Erwin and
footballer Pat Tidmore are fight­ing
for the starting berth.
Elimination matches were
held last week to determine who
will carry the colors against
Maryville Saturday night and
tough VPI Monday night.
Umbach says this squad is bet­ter
than last year's and should be
even better next season since most
of the members are sophomores
or juniors.
It's a fine tribute to Umbach
and his coaching system that only
two boys on the present team had
wrestled before they came to Au­burn.
Attention March Grads
Candidates for degrees in
March who have not cleared
deferred grades (Incomplete
and Absent Examination) may
do so only with permission from
the Council of Deans. Graduates
who need to secure such ap­proval
should check with the
Registrar's Office immediately.
Fifty Prospects Ink Grant-In-Aids
By Ronnie Harris
When the last count was ta­ken,
50 n ew names had been
added to the roster of the na­tion's
No. 1 football team.
These future Tigers are the
boys who have been awarded
scholarships and will be play­ing
on next year's Auburn
freshman team.
Heading a list which includes
many top prospects is Don
Downs, a 6-1, 185-pound end
from Enslcy High of Birming­ham.
Downs, like most of the
signces, was an All-Stater. He is
the son of an ex-Tiger football
player.
One new Tiger who will sure­ly
feel at home in Auburn is
Cary Senn, whose father, of
course, is line coach Shot Senn.
The younger Senn was All Mid-
South at Baylor Prep School of
Chattanooga last fall after fin­ishing
a brilliant career at Au­burn
High.
Other top prospects signed so
far include center Eddie Lance,
another Chattanoogan following
Bobby Hoppc's trial to Auburn,
and end Bobby Foret, brother of
junior tackle Eddie Foret.
The complete list of signees is
as follows:

RbadWeary Phillips: 'It's Good To Be Home...'
By PAT GENTRY
Basketball is drawing a flurry of attention and excitement from
all corners of the campus. Participation is high and enthusiasm is
about the best one could ask for.
On Monday night Div. D downed Dlv. M by a score of 35-29.
At halftime the score was tied, but D, led by Bob Hammond, over­powered
its opponent in the final period. Hammond made 14 of his
team's 35 points.
Div. O proved to be too much for Div. N by defeating them 34-
24. Top scorer for the winners was. John Titus who sank the ball for
11 points.
One of the closest- contests of the night came during the Div. J
vs. Div. X2 game. Both teams' were really fighting the whole way,
but J came out on top. J barely edged pass X2 by a score of 41-40.
On the winning team Stephens took high point honors with 12 points
and Jim Shirley of X2 bagged 14.
Another hair-raiser occurred when independent teams, the Sharks
and Zombies, took the court. The final count, in favor of the Zombies,
was 34-32.
An unusual and close contest took place between Div. S2 and
Div. E last Tuesday night. The game was tied and went into over­time.
One of the S2's men fouled out to leave only four players on
their team. However, despite the handicap, S2 defeated E by a
count of. 36-34.
... Garden Courts grabbed an easy victory from the Huskies by
running over them 60-36. The victors were led by Bill Peavy who
garnered 31 points. This same night the Knights of Pythias, barely
sneaked by Auburn Hall 2, 44-42 in the last second of the game. Top
scorer for the winners was Harry Slagle who managed 14 points.
AH's top sinker was Walter Brooks.
... On last Tuesday and Thursday nights the fraternities took -over
the courts. Spectators saw PKA,'led by Buddy Lemay's 23 points,
defeat DSP 41-34. Also on Tuesday night, ATO stopped PKT 37-26.
Don Faye of ATO took top. honors with his 13 points.
AP made the win column by defeating LXA, 56-46. Hobby
Home's 20 points was tops for the AP's.
DS sneaked pass SN, 35-30. The winning team was led by sharp­shooter
Tom Scull, who scored 17 points.
TC. led by James Selvey, ran over OTS, 45-30. Selvey made
15 of TC's points and Tom Espy made 12. Also on Tuesday night,
Wesley, who is not in the fraternity league, defeated BSU by a score
of 38-24. jWesley appears to be the top team in the church league and
will, probably get the: trophy in that division. In this' particular game,
10 points were scored by both Sanderson and "Red" Smith.
.. Again on th.e fraternity .scene, Thursday night rooters for KS
and TC held their breath through a tight contest of these two groups.
'it was "nip and tuck" all the way and as the half time buzzer sounded
the score was tied. In, the last minute of play the lead changed three
times,., but in the last few seconds KS scored 2 points to make the
final count 38-37. Tom Stull, KS, and Jimmy Hunt, TC, were the
outstanding players of this, "not-soon-to-be-forgotten" game.
. In another hard fought contest SAE nosed out LXA to beat them
33-31.. Although SAE came out on top. Lambda Chi was on top most
of the night.- . :• . • •
r. SC grabbed its third straight vicfol^'by downing DSP, 31-15.
The scoring for SC was pretty well evened out. Gene Faulk's 7 points
was the highest made, for the winners.
PKA stomped TC by a most unbalanced score of 70-19. Twenty-two
of PKA's point's were made by FHank "Fly" Putman.
ATO won its second game in one week by out-playing AGR in
the last few minutes of the contest. This* was a hard fought game
||With AGR in the lead almost the whole game.
Again on the church scene, BSU, who fell to Wesley on Tues­day
came back to defeat Newman q^jjhursday night. The final
score was 43-33. Roberts of BSU compiled 23 points for his team and
Brown of Newman made 27 of.his team's 33 points. Wesley again
made the win column by defeating the Chicks 42,-27. Sharpshooter
John Burdeshaw took top scoring honors with his 13 points.
Macy Johnson, student IM director,, announced that the student
activities building will "be open this weekend on Friday from 7 to
10:30 p.m. and Sunday from 2-5 p.m.

Jimmy "Red" Phillips, All-
American, settled back in an
easy chair today and prompt­ly
became James J a c k s on
Phillips, college senior and
husband.
And he and his pretty little
wife Mickey were pleased—very
pleased, thank you — that the
paying of the price of glory was
finished.
For the Phillipses, it's been
a most trying year, this just-completed
one which brought
nearly every honor that could
possibly come to any footballing
family.
There have been three post­season
bowl games far "Red"
since he finished a storybook ca­reer
with Auburn late in Novem­ber.
Spread across the map from
Mobile to Honolulu, they called
for a total of 15 days practice.
Personal appearances on tele­vision
shows and at award-giving
banquets from New York to Birm­ingham
added to the confusion,
mightily.
And of course there was that
"day" t h e happy hometown
FOR PHILLIPS—A little work
folks at Alexander City staged to
officially welcome home the con­quering
hero.
But the hurrahs and hand­shakes
have run their course—
most of 'em, at least—and no­body
could be any happier about
the situation than Mr. and Mrs.
Jimmy Phillips.
"Naturally all the publicity and
everything was nice while it last­ed,"
reflected "Red."
"But it's always good to get
home.
"Right now, all I'm thinking
about is catching up in my class
work. You know, I missed 10 of
the first 12 class days this quar­ter,
so there's no need in saying
I'm lost."
Inevitably, there had to be a
good-natured rib from a profes­sor.
"The other day I walked in­to
one of my classes for the
first time—two weeks into the
quarter—tend the instructor ask­ed
me where I'd been keeping
myself. I told him I'd been 'on
vacation'."
I t is apparent the reply was an
exaggeration of the highest de­gree.
Mrs. Phillips, head majorette at
Auburn before taking an Ail-
American spouse last Spring,
agreed that it was anything but
a vacation.
"I though making the'trips with
"Red" would be a lot of fun," she
sighed while posing for another
of what must be hundreds of pic­tures
taken of the two in the last
month.
"But it didn't turn out that way.
"He had to practice so much
that we hardly had any time to
see the sights together."
Vacation or no vacation, though,
"Red" feels the traveling was
worth the aches and pains it de­manded.

Crimsons' Free Throws Beat Tigers At Coliseum, 83-65
By Ronnie McCullars
Jack Kubiszyn popped the nets for 38 points to lead the
Crimson Tide over the, never say die Auburn Tigers 83-65
at the Coliseum last Saturday night. ,
Kuby, the sparkplug of the-Tiders, and Jim Fulmer, the
piston of the powerful machine, combined efforts in a double
threat attack the Tigers couldn't
stop.
Auburn's big gun was once
again Rex Frederick who startled
the Tide and the fans when he
poured in 16 points with four
big personals against him. Big
Rex swished the nets for 24
markers to lead the cold Tigers'
scoring column. Behind Frede­rick
came Jimmy Lee with 14
counters, Terry Chandler with
eight and Shot Johnston, who is
not back up to par yet after an
early eason injury, got 6.
The Tigers are having an un­lucky
season by catching most
of their opposition having a hot
night when the Big Blue from
the Plains get there. Florida was
a never-miss quintet and cer­tainly
Alabama was fired up as
they hit 53 per cent in the first
half and settled for a 44.1 per­centage
at the end of the game.
The Plainsmen connected on 35.8
per cent.
Auburn hit 27 from the field to
Bama's 25, but the Tide monopo­lized
on free throws. They made
good 32 of 37.
The Villagers started the game
off with an upset in mind by
dumping in six quick ones. But
then lightning struck and All-
America candidate Jack Kubis­zyn
began his phenomenal free
throw shooting. His first three
points came from the unchal­lenged
line.
Slowly the Crimson Tide began
pulling away behind the great
rebounding of towering Jim Ful­mer,
who bucketed 18, and Kubys
shooting. At halftime the Tigers
were behind 47-28.
When the bell sounded for the
second round Auburn looked like
a different team. Jimmy Lee and
Terry Chandler began popping,;
Big Rex started shooting from
the outside. The lanky fellow
fired in 16 points before drawing
the fifth and final foul as he per­formed
a great individual effort
in trying to stop Bama with two
and a half minutes to go. Bobby
Tucker collected five personals
and left the game with two min­utes
left.
The Tigers outscored 'Bama in
the second half 37-36 but this
was not nearly enough.

A little old lady riding on the
train was passing the time by
working a -crossword puzzle.
Turning to the man beside her,
she asked: "I wonder if you

"I might," he replied, "what's
the matter?"
"Well," the lady said, "all I
need is a four-letter word ending

There will be another regular column—in addition to those
of Sports Editor Paul Hemphill and Intramural Editor Pat

A MESSAGE TO THE SENIOR
WITH TOMORROW
ON HIS MIND
ui waqcrBiJ
Melpar's sure, swift growth during
the past eleven years —we have
doubled in size every 24 months —
is due, in large part, to the out­standing
performance of our engi­neering
staff.
As a leading R & D organization,
we are constantly called upon to
perform tasks which have never
been done before. Thanks to the
creative talent which forms the
backbone of our organization, we
have grown rapidly both in stature
and size. Members of our staff
have enjoyed similarly reward­ing
growth.
Performance Determines Ad­vancement.
Individual recogni­tion
is a fundamental policy at
Melpar. Each engineer is advanced
on the basis of his performance.
The average age of our engineer­ing
staff (one of the industry's
youngest) and the rapidity of
growth of above-average staff
members, are clear indications of
what Melpar's individual recogni­tion
policy can mean to you.
Project Teams. As a Melpar staff
member you will enjoy the oppor-t
tunity to participate in entire
projects, from conception to com­pletion
of prototype. Our project
team basis of organization gives

own efforts materialize, and helps
you acquire experience essential
to eventual managerial responsi­bility.
Fine Living Conditions. Melpar
laboratories are located in choice
suburban areas near Washington,

of their proximity to outstanding
educational, cultural and research
facilities. Fine housing in all price

Tech Success Attributed To Guards;
Maroons Hit Skids, Lose Three
By George Bruner
Assistant Sports Editor
Kentucky's Wildcats ran off with the conference lead
over the weekend and the cellar teams played havoc with
cagers' records who were supposed to be rated high in the
conference.
The only conference games
scheduled for this weekend are
Tennessee at Georgia Tech and
Auburn at Georgia.
Tennessee and Tech will be
battling for the runner-up spot
in the conference race since Ken­tucky
owns sole command of the
lead.
The big question in the con­ference
is not who is going to
stop Bailey Howell, but who is
going to stop Tech's magnificant
guards, Terry Randall and Buddy
Blemker. Randall tossed in 28
points against Vandeijbilt • and
his running mate, Blemker, ad­ded
20 more.
Florida's Joe H o b b s , who
Plainsman fans will remember
as the versatile lefty with a
deadly eye for the ucket has
emerged as the league's big gun
in the past few "games.
Scoring over 30 points in sev­eral
recent games, Hobbs has
lead his Gator mates to a con­ference
record of 9 wins and 2
losses, both of which came in
early encounters.
Kentucky left the rest of the
conference in want of dropping
their main contenders, Tennessee
by a score of 77-68. Coach Adolph
Rupp's Cats led by Junior for­ward,
Johnny Cox, the "Hazard
Wizard," who dropped in 30
points. Gene Termohlen was the
Vols' fireball once again.
The "Doormat" squads stole
the spotlight over the weekend,
as previously winless Ole Miss
dropped Mississippi State.
The Maroons zone seems to be
no longer a puzzle to conference
foes, since the last three oppon­ents
have solved it and emerged
victorious.

The other previously winless
team in conference play got a

Conference Bits: Tulane, a good
old Southern school, is possessed
with Yankees; Herbie Kays of
Shelbyville, Ky. is closer to the
Southland than any other mem­ber
of the Greenie squad . . . the
University of Tennessee believes
in recruiting home-town boys as
five of their varsity players are
from Knoxxville, whereas Geor­gia
Tech, with a town like At­lanta
to pick from'sports not a
single varsity eager from the
Flats.
Hem phi 11 Gives-Red
Plainsman Trophy
"Recipient of Twenty-one All-
American awards and the same
smiling freckled-faced red-head
who came to Auburn from Alex
City four years ago."
These were the words of
Plainsman Sports Editor Paul
Hemphill as he presented Jimmy
"Big Red" Phillips wi^h the
eighth annual Plainsman award
for being picked as the most out­standing
player on the 1957 Au­burn
Tigers.
The award is made each year
by the Plainsman with the sports
staff making the selection and
the sports editor presenting the
trophy between the halves of the
first Alabama-Auburn basket­ball
contest.
"1 must say that it took ten
men to help us to the number
one position and they sure helped
me look good," was the red-haired
hero's only comment.
Tickets
Tickets for the Auburn-Geor­gia
game in Columbus Satur­day
night are now on sale at

The NROTC scholar may select
any field of study except those
courses which require post grad­uate
study and also pharmacy,
music, and art.
The Naval course at Auburn is
taken in addition to the regularly
required number of quarter
hours, meeting three hours per
week for recitation and two hours
for drill which may be marching
or laboratory. The Navy lab con­tains
simulated bridges of ships
with all controls, flag hoists, a
five inch gun and its fire control
counterpart, a radar set and an
anti-submarine attack teacher.
In order to teach the practical
application of classroom instruc­tion,
naval students are sent on
cruises during the summer. The
regular student takes part in two
foreign cruises and at the end of
his sophomore year participates
in what is called aviation-amphi­bious
training in Corpus Christi,
Texas and Little Creek, Virginia.
The contract student has one
cruise at the end of his junior
year which usually takes him to
a foreign port.
If a student so desires he may,
in his sophomore year, sign up
for a commission in the U. S.
Marine Corps, in which case his
summers are spent in Quantico,
Virginia in Marine training.
The local commander of the
Naval program is Capt. W. C.
Johnson. Seven officers, six en­listed
men and two full-time sec­retaries
are under his command.

ning Patty meets David Slater, the
father of Don's former fiance,
and invites him to stay for dinner.
Don is outraged at the situation,
but agrees to let David stay on
the condition that he retires im­mediately
after dinner.
When David does finally leave,
Mr. O'Neill, and old fashioned
father, who happens to be a mem­ber
of New York's police force,
bursts in on the young couple.
Misconstruing the situation, he
knocks Don onto the floor and
marches Patty home.
The plqtvdoes .finally, untangle
and all ends happily in spite of
Patty's wounded pride and Don's
black eye.
A preacher was hearing con­fession.
In the middle of it, he
stopped the young sinner, saying,
"Young man, you ain't confessin',
you's bragging."
Nuclear. Science
Given New Boost
A boost has been given to the
study of nuclear science at Au­burn
with the establishment of a
depository of Atomic Energy
Commission publications at the
API library.
The new material will be used
to back up the recently initiated
master's program in nuclear
science.
Only a few similar AEC depos­itories
have been established at
other universities and research
libraries in the southeast. Publi­cations
sent to API will be un­classified
documents only and
will be available to all library
patrons.
The new master's program in
nuclear science was begun in the
fall quarter of 1957. The first stu­dents
to graduate with advanced
degrees in the field will complete
their studies by the end of the
summer quarter of this year.
Dr. Howard E. Carr, head pro­fessor
of physics, called the new
material "an immense aid to in­structors
in the program and par­ticularly
to graduate students."
Clyde Cantrell, director of lib­raries,
described the publications
as "significant materials for re­search
and study." He added, "We
are very happy that the AEC has
recognized the significant work
being done at API."

Village Fair Tryairfs '
Set For Sunday
Tryouts for the 30 minute ra­dio
and TV show to be filmed
in connection with Village Fair
will be held Sunday, Feb. 2,
from 2 to 5 p. m. in the Union
Ballroom.
Hank Elliott, radio and TV
publicity, coordinator for the an­nual
event, disclosed that any
entertaining act may be chosen
to be filmed and sent to every
TV station in the state as well as
some in Florida and Georgia.
Four judges will select the best
five acts from those presented at
the tryouts and only these will
be filmed for later showing. El­liot
stressed the fact that no par­ticular
type of presentation is
required as each will be judged
on the basis of its entertainment
merit only.
Those making their presenta­tions
will be able to make use of
the piano and public address sys­tem
but any further props or
costumes for the tryout must be
provided by the performers
themselves. However, according
to Elliot, costumes and props are
not needed.
burn were expanded earlier in
the year by the installation of a
new sub-critical reactor.

We're behind you all the way, Auburn Tigers. We want to take this op­portunity
to say that we are proud of you and think that we have the number
one team in the nation in basketball as well as football. We know that you
have run into some rough luck but it is hard for a team to do much better
playing most of their games away from home. We know that if you keep giv-ing
it that old Auburn spirit, of which we are so proud, we will come out as
always . . . a winner. Just remember to keep hustling and we'll never let you
down from the stands.
