Fraternities, Sororities
Conclude Greek Week
Greeks End Sixth
Annual Celebration
Sponsored jointly by the Inter-fraternity
and Panhellenic Coun­cils,
Greek Week '57 came to a
close last Saturday, marking the
sixth such event at API. Accord­ing
to Tom Espy, chairman of the
Greek Week Committee, "Ev^ry
aspect of this year's affair enjoyed
better publicity and participation
than any time during the past."
Originated at Auburn in 1952
by Dr. John O. Mosley. Greek
Week was originally intended to
strengthen and improve relations
between Greek letter organiza­tions,
non-affiliated students, the
college administration, and Au­burn
townspeople. This theme has
been expanded to promote the
free flow of ideas in panel dis­cussions
covering every phase of
fraternity and sorority life, the
best of which may be incorporated
in the Interfraternity and Pan­hellenic
Council by-laws.
High Ratings Given
4 Auburn Debaters
AT FSU Invitational
Auburn debaters achieved rat­ings
of "excellent" and "good" in
their forensic efforts of last week­end
at the .Eighth Annual Invita­tional
Debate Tournament at
Florida State University at Talla­hassee,
Fla,, in which 14 schools
competed.
. Charles Gibson, LaGrange, Ga.,
and Gene Burr, Memphis, Tenn.,
comprised the negative team that
scored wins over FSU and Florida
Ch.ru, iiau, '• affiF^ere' eijgea but in
close debates with Furman and
Loyola of New Orleans. Though
losing two of their debates, the
negative team was rated "excel­lent."
The affirmative team of George
iHearn, Citronelle, and Jim Gul-
' lage, Camp H'll, were rated "good"
for their efforts of the week-end
and were cited, in particular, for
their showing against the tourna­ment
champions West Point Mili­tary
Academy. This was the first
intercolegiate competition in de­bate
for the affirmative team.
Soth teams participated in two
rounds of experimental debate
following the four rounds of reg­ular
debate. The experimental
rounds were set up in an effort
to test the debating skill in the
one-man conference style debate,
in which one debater presents and
is subject to questions on the en­tire
case, rather than his usual
portion of the case in the two-man
style debates.
John A. Stovall, Auburn De­bate
Council director and a speech
v instructor, accompanied the teams
to Tallahassee and announced that
the Council will compete in the
Azalea Festival Tournament at
Spring Hill College in Mobile this
next week-end.

Top Fall Quarter Scholastic Standings
New Pi Kappa Phi Plans Rise From Fraternity Ruins
Fire Victims Prepare To Build New
House On West Magnolia Avenue
PICTURE TELLS THE STORY . . . (photo by Sherard)
Almost everything was ruined,
either by smoke, water or the fire
itself, and a fraternity was forced
to move temporarily.
It's been a hard struggle but
the Pi Kappa Phi's are beginning
to get on their feet again after the
fire of Sunday night two weeks
agg. Salvageable clothes have
been cleaned or laundered and all
of the boys have found suitable
living accommodations.
Among the personal belongings
lost were two Hi-Fi sets, a tape
recorder, many stacks of records
'and an aquarium of tropical fish
Although almost all of the 35 boys
on the second floor were able to
clear their clothes out of the clos­ets,
all of tfie suits, sports jackets
and other clothes hanging had to
be dry cleaned to remove the
smell of smoke. Nearly all of the
launderable clothes, towels, sheets,
and other things left in the draw­ers
were smoke stained and ruin­ed.
*•
Many irreplaceable objects
such as notes, lab reports, work
books, personal pictures, sketches,
etc, were beyond recognition. In
a few places the ceiling actually
caved in, ruining books and slide
rules. Every suitcase in'the attic
along with many summer clothes
were lost.
The fire started in the attic
where two pledges were living.
They were downstairs when the
fire started and being unable to
enter the room, lost everything
there.,
The only injuries incurred were
to Doug Hawkins who had a head
injury and to the president, Bo
Reed, who injured his knee.
As of yet, no adjustment has
been made by the insurance com­pany
on the $60,000 policy; how­ever,
plans have already been
made to build a new house past
the Sigma Chi House on West
Magnolia. The Pi Kapps already
have their lot and the city plans
to extend, the present road so that
construction can begin.

Tryouts For Spring
Show To Be Held
March 6, 7 In Union
Spring Show tryouts are to be
held on the sixth and seventh of
March in the Union Banquet
Room, from 4 until 10 p.m. The
Spring Show is to be directed by
Norman Kohn under the auspices
of'the Student Union.
This year's show is planned to
feature more talent and contain
more variety than that of last year.
Acts ranging from soft shoe rou­tines
to hillbilly yodelling are
A piano and loudspeaking equip­ment
will be provided for the use
by the contestants. Any other
props must be supplied by the
acts.
Persons with theatrical experi­ence
of any type, from prop build­ing
to acting or dancing are need­ed
! to make the Spring Show a
success. Talent scope is unlimited
and acts of all kinds are requested
to try out. >.f. _ ;j_i,-v_ _v i
equipment is part of a new tech­nique
to be used in connection"
with the stress analysis laboratory
which is being established by the
Engineering Experiment Station.
In the "Photostress" technique
a patented' plastic is sprayed onto
the member being investigated.
Stress patterns can be seen and
accurate determination of direc­tion
and magnitude can be estab­lished
by subjecting the member
to light and reading the reflected
light through polarized lenses.
This is possible because the plas­tic
film over the strained member
will cary its light reflecting char­acteristics
with stress.
The "Photostress" technique re­places
the Brittle-Lacquer met­hod.
In the Brittle-Lacquer tech­niques
only the directions of prin­cipal
stresses and an approxima­tion
of the stress can be determin­ed.
The new technique permits a
quantitative determination o f
stress as well as' a qualitative de^-
termination.
H. I. O'Brien, project manager
of the Auburn Research Founda­tion,
said "We feel that, with this
apparatus it will be possible for
researchers of API to take the
lead in new stress analysis tech­niques
which should win consid­erable
recognition and be signifi­cant
contributions • to science. En­gineering
Experiment Station ap­pointments
are available for grad­uate
students who are interested
in pursuring this line of research."

New Gym For Auburn?
A number of questions have arisen in
several groups on and off the campus con­cerning
the possibility of obtaining a new
gymnasium for Auburn. They have come
from students, faculty members and alum­ni.
A log of these questions has been kept
by Jeff Beard, athletic director and he
has prepared a list of them with their an­swers
for The Plainsman. This list is pre­sented
here.
Q. Why can't we have a new coliseum-1
type gym for Auburn?
A. The only reason we cannot start con­struction
of such a building is the lack of
funds.
Q. What would an adequate building of
this type cost?
A. A minimum of $1,725,000.00.
Q. If built, what seating capacity would
you recommend?
A. 8,500 minimum.
Q. How could Auburn raise the-money
required for such a building?
A. There are three ways that these build­ings
have been built on other campuses.
1. Outright state appropriation —
laboratories, sewage disposal plant
and classrooms having a higher
priority, this method of obtaining
an arena seems unlikely, i
2. Bond issue—Boiads in the amount
of $1,725,000.00 to be N retired in
twenty years at four per cent
would require average payments
of $126,928.60 per year. These
bonds would have to be supported
by a fixed income before they
could be issued and sold.
3. Contributions and pledges—This
is a very hard way to get money
for such a building. At Georgia
Tech friends and alumni pledged
a million and one-quarter toward
their new arena which seats 7,000.
Q. If building were built, what would
be included?
A. Facilities for Men's and Women's
physical education and auditorium-type
building combined with large gym playing
floor. 59 •'•-! ~" • . .
Q. Could admission charges derived
from basketball games be used to pay off
loan on building?
A. Yes.
Q. What other events could be scheduled
in gym that would bring in revenue?
A. Concerts, ice shows, musical shows,
celebrity shows—all types of entertain­ment
that would be in demand.
Q. How much revenue did basketball
bring in last year? How much were ex­penses?
A. Revenue—$23,582.90, 1955-56; expen­ses—$
32,922.48 (exclusive of salaries).
Q. How much do you think you could
clear in basketball annually with ade­quate
seats?
A. On ten home games I think it is rea­sonable
to assume we could net $7,000.00
per game which would give-us a season
net gain of approximately $40,000.00, as
our expenses would remain approximately
the same.
Q. What is the value of the present ath­letic
plant and how is it financed?
A. The Cliff Hare Stadium and'track and
field house have had invested in them by
\the Athletic Department over $1 million
for which bonds are being retired by/the
Athletic Department.'
Q. How many students dress and use
the present Sports Arena daily?
A. Approximately 1,000 to 1,500.
Q. What is the present schedule for the
Sports Arena for classes and practice?
A. Monday, Wednesday and Friday—P.
E. classes 7 a. m. to 3 p. m. Monday through
Saturday—Varsity basketball and wrest­ling
3 p. m. to 6 p. m. Monday through
Saturday—Freshman basketball 6 p. m.
to 9 p. m.
Q. How does our Sports Arena compare
with other SEC schools?
A. Auburn is the smallest with Georgia
and Mississippi next. All the remaining
nine schools have arenas of 5,000 or great­er.
Q. If a new gym were built, could it be
used for indoor track?
A. By proper design, yes.
Q. Could it be used to improve registra­tion?
A. Yes.
Q. Would there be provisions made for
stages for bands, shows, etc.?
A. Yes.
Q. Could freshman orientation be held
in the building? '
A. Yes.
Q. Could pep rallies be held in the build­ing?
A. Yes.
Q. Could graduations be held in this
building?
A. Yes.
Q. Could FFA and 4-H Club and other
large conventions be helcj in this building?
A. Yes. i
Q. Could we play Kentucky and Ala­bama
on campus—home and home—in this
building?
A. YeSi
Q. Could we have State High School
Basketball Tournament here?
A. Yes—with permission of state as­sociation.
Mascot — Campus Project
A number of problems have come to Auburn has arisen. The main one is that
light since discussion about a mascot for of caring for the animal. Several sources
have already been found'for obtaining an
/h 0 8. {i)0 ' t eagle and a recent ballot run in The Plains-
CtW3VVW\ t%2l1UVW2W man seems to indicate that this is the trend
to foster tile Auburn spirit of thinking for a mascot.

It would be necessary to build some
sort of enclosure for the bird and because
of the size of an eagle the enclosure would
have to be fairly large. An eagle in
cramped quarters would likely to batter
its wings against the sides and seriously
mar the beauty of its feathers. Too, it
would require some room to exercise.
From an avairy in Ocala, Fla., known
as Birds of Prey, has come the information
that a bird such as an eagle could best sur­vive
and remain healthy if placed on a
perch. Such a perch could be constructed
with a length of light chain attached to
the bird's leg to prevent its escape. The
perch could be enclosed by an ironwork
fence to prevent injury to spectators or the
eagle itself. An overhanging roof of some
kind could be used as protection from the
weather.
The bird would have to be fed and its
cage cleaned each day. This could be the
project of some service organization or
perhaps some of the veterinary students
would be interested. Some of the archi­tects
on the campus could work out the
design and location for the bird's en­closure.
/,
Funds for this project would have to
come from somewhere to make it practi­cal.
Students and alumni alike might like
to contribute. It wouldn't take much but
that little would have to be available.
Obtaining a mascot would be a carh-puswide
project. But if we are to get one
we must start immediately.
Around the College World
Book Stores-- Robbers?
By Harold Grant
Exchange Editor
Is the college book store a serv­ice
for the students or is it a
money making deal? Cah a stu­dent
buy a book at the college
book store cheaper than at other
book stores and are trade-in al­lowances
higher?
The students up at Clemson
checked into their book store and
found that books were selling for
a higher price there than at other
stores.
They describe the trade - in
problem so:
"Take as an example a ten dol­lar
book which has been used for ;
one semester. If you're lucky you
may receive five for it. The next
student to come along buys the
book and pays out eight dollars.
This fact illustrated in a mild
manner the crude practice of what
is commonly known as highway
robbery."
Clemson placed the manage­ment
of their bookstore under the
Athletic Association in order to
better the situation, but the
Clemson Tiger expresses doubt
whether this is a step in the right
direction.
"That organization is noted for
such business abilities involved in
the miserably inefficient ticket
sales every year," charges the
Tiger.
At least they are attempting to
better the situation. Book buying
is certainly a deflating experience
for one's pocket book.
« * *
i
Another gripe over high prices
comes from the University of
Florida Alligator. Haircut prices
in Gainesville have been raised
from $1 to $1.25.
The Alligator calculates that a
barber is paid about 75 cents for
each haircut and he cuts between
25 and 30 heads of hair per day.
This amounts to $13.\per week.
Boy, those barbers are reaily
clipping the students.
The Chattanooga University Ec­ho
reports that an Englishman of
nobility, just arrived in this
country, noticed with dismay that
his clothes had been attacked by
moths. He stopped in at a druggist
and asked the clerk what he could
recommend against moths. He was
given a large box of moth balls,
which he took 4o his hotel. r
In a little while he returned for
another box and a short while
later, for still another. This time
the clerk could not contain his
curiosity.
"May I ask what you are doing
with all these moth balls?" he
asked.
"Well, my good chap," answer­ed
His Lordship, "you cawn't hit
the little beggars every time!"

Making Life Enjoyable
How many times a day do we
see the typical grouch? He has
more homework than anybody
else, his fo6d is never fit to eat,
all of his professors have it in for
him. In- short he has more prob­lems
than anyone else.. Unfortu­nately,
we don't have to look far
to find someone who fits this de­scription.
Sometimes.we find our­selves
guilty of these same things.
Needless to say, if we have this
grouchy attitude about the things
we do, life won't be very enjoy­able
for us or for those around us.
The joy of living comes not so
much from the things life brings
us but from the attitude with
which we accept these things.
When we start the day with a
cheerful outlook, it will be hard
'for our little problems to annoy
us.
BY ROCHELLE MORRIS
When everything seems to go
wrong, it is very hard to have a
good outlook on life. It is natural
that we begin to worry about
these things. What good does wor­ry
do? Worrying only makes our
problems seem greater than they
really I are. Instead of carrying
our burdens on our shoulders, we
should call on God^for with his
help, we can have the power to
overcome our greatest problems.
The closer we live to God, the
better our attitudes will become
for we can see his boundless love
and goodness. The more of our
lives that we spend in adoration,
the more we see for us to enjoy.
Certainly knowing that we have
a God who loves and cares for
us, we can rise above any un­pleasant
situation and live an
abundant life.
FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR'S DESK
Student's Money Goes For Nought
This year we students will lose
an estimated, $800 to $1,000 in
•the form of fines for on-campus
traffic offenses'. This money will
go to the city of Auburn—and
the amazing thing is that they
never asked to collect these fines,
in the first place.
The present
system of fines
collection came
i n t o e f f e ct
HI years ago when
on - c a m p us
'traffic fines did
not amount, to
enough to both­er
with—before
the p r e s e nt
campus traffic
regulations went into effect to
create parking zones and stickers,
more traffic regulations and a
resulting increase in the total
amount of fines collected. It
seemed, before this year, a need­less
bother for the school to col­lect
these fines; but now they
have grown to such an extent
that we can hardly aCford to ig­nore
them.
The city of Auburn does little
t;p earn this money they collect
in the way of campus traffic
fines. Campus police, on the col­lege
payroll, hand out the tic­kets—
and if a violator refuses-to
pay his fine, the campus police
have the job of hunting him
down. If the student decides to
pay his traffic ticket, as most
campus traffic violators do,, the
city's job begins and ends with
writing a receipt -for the money
collected.
Considering the fact that the
college is operating on a mini­mum
budget, the loss of traffic
fines is especially bad. This
money could be going for cam­pus
improvements, for Union Ac­tivities,
for Concert and Lecture
Series, or for some other thing
of benefit to the student.
Finding someone who' could
handle campus traffic fines col­lection
for the college in ad­dition
to their present job is one
problem that would have to be
solved before we could begin
fines cojlection. Possibly this job
could be handled by student gov­ernment
through their office sec­retary,
since she would need do
nothing more than write a re­ceipt.
The number of tickets
would 'amount to an average -of
only four or five per class day.
BY BOB TARTE
A traffic court, consisting ideal­ly
of both students and faculty
would have to be set up to han­dle
those few traffic violators
who desired a hearing because
they though their ticket unfair;
and the court would also pass
judgement on those who refused
to* pay traffic fines.
Such a traffic court must have
the backing.of the administration
before it could operate. Through
the administration, grades could
be withheld, or even stronger
measures such as suspension from
school, might be brought into
play to force habital traffic of­fenders'
to obey the rules.
On-campus traffic fines are
collected through student govern­ment
at other colleges, including
the University of Florida and the
University of Alabama. If we
were to put such a plan in ef­fect
here at API, it would give
more students a chance to par­ticipate
in their student govern­ment,
insure adherence to cam­pus
traffic regulations, and chan­nel
money from fines to uses
benefitting the students.

Dear Sir:
Re: Your Zone "A" Grows edi­torial.
* You are to be commended for
your interest in our students'
comfort and I feel that your edi­torial,
stemmed from a sincere de­sire
to'criticize fairly the park­ing
situation. However, as a mem­ber
of the college staff I do wish
'to object strenuously to certain
opinions you would have us ac­cept
as truths.
At the outset let .me assure you
that I am one of those who have
found it impractical to park reg­ularly
on our campus. During the
last two months I have not park­ed
in the space supposedly set
aside for staff members teaching
in Tichenor Hall, viz. the zone
immediately north of the building.
The reason I have not is obvious,
i.e. that is no available space at
8:30 a.m. when I ordinarily ar­rive.
There are many reasons that
space is not available for a staff
member and I suspect that some
' of them are due to actions of our
students and staff that are gen­erally
attributed to ungentlemanly
people. However, I do not imply
that the rank and file of our stu- •
dents*1 and staff should be so
characterized.
The indictment implied in your
statements that some faculty
members "have managed to get
Zone A stickers for their proteges"
and again that some "ge't A zone
decals for their graduate students"
is most serious, and if true should
be brought to the attention of our
administrative personnel immedi­ately.
Your statements may' be
true but I have inquired among
those persons handling the issu­ance
of the permits and they can­not
give me a single instance in
which a faculty member has
managed to befriend a protege in
the manner you describe, and
since your editorial contains no
convincing proof, I must object to.
the validity 6f your statements.
Obviously your assertion that
"staff members have been as
guilty, if not more so, in viola­tions"
needs documentation. I can­not
agree that this is a valid state­ment
since the staff has received
1613 "A" permits of the 6,400 is­sued.
About one fourth of the 1,-
612 have been issued to persons
who park on the Agriculture cam­pus
where parking is not trouble­some.
It is true that many student
wives working in'that area allow
their husbands to park, their cars
on the main campus. These hus­bands
should, in my opinion, re­frain
from using A zones on the
main campus but nothing in the
parking regulations prohibits their
so doing. To label these persons
as cheaters seems unjust since
they have not even been formally
requested to park in the C zones.
While the matter of getting fu­ture
A decals for student wivgs
seems to be settled, I certainly
disagree with the decision. These
wives often work under formid­able
handicaps. Among them are
the need to remain in their offices
until .noon, prepare a hurried meal
for "their families when most of
Us are relaxing, and return
promptly at 1 p.m> In general
these persons are not overpaid
and I feel that the college could
Well afford them a convenient
parking space. I feel that no in­justice
is done in providing this
space and, apparently contrary to
your opinion, believe that it would
add to the efficiency and effecti­veness
of the training you seek on \
our campus.
Therein lies rhy own reserva- •
tiop to your many criticisms. All
thbs* offered appeared to be di­rected
.toward increasing the com­fort
of the students; none toward
increasing the effectiveness of
, their instructional programs. I
am sure I hold a minority opinion
in believing the faculty and cer-
• tain staff members should be al­lowed
priority parking at any col­lege
or university for the simple
reason that their time must be
more valuable than that of any
ordinary student. If you have
come to believe to the contrary,
I fail to see how you can pros^
per academically here for intel­lectual
leadership must be prop­erly
respected by all those who
can continue to educate them­selves.
If faculty respect is lost in
some false idealism of 'every
man is equal" then a student can­not
possibly know how to proceed
fruitfully on a college campus.
While I am daily inconvenienc­ed
by the lack of parking space I
know, as you should, that the
problem is quite simple, viz. that
we cannot possibly provide park­ing
space on our campus for all
the cars of both students and
staff. ' Until parking for some
group or groups is forbidden this
condition will continue.
In the meantime I respectfully
suggest that we endeavor to co-operate
as best we I cah,A talfeterte

and refrain from issuing moral
indictments prompted by desires
for human convenience that im­pugn

In the interest of good human

Complete Coverage
For Educational TV
Dear Editor:
Occasionally I read brief re­ferences
to the educational TV
stations operated by the State^of
Alabama, but I have never seen
a complete report on this function.
I happened %o tune in on one
of our educational TV channels the
other night and noticed that some
very constructive programs were
being offered. Since then I start­ed
making inquiries about these
programs and I have found that
most people know very little
about them. i
It appears to me that The
Plainsman and any other organi­zation
would be doing a great
public service if they published
fully the activities of our educa­tional
TV and also started a cam­paign
to induce the state news­papers
to publish a daily program
schedule.
Yours truly,

Offers 'Dismissal'
Solution For Prof.
Dear Editor:
From his letter appearing in the
"Letters to the Editor Column"
on Feb. 20, it seems to me that
Professor Hutchinson is not happy
here at API as we operate all our
state schools on a segregated basis
in Alabama. I am sure all of us
have been told and understand
that no one does his best work if
he is unhappy at this work.
The only logical solution then is
to terminate Professor Hutchin­son's
employment as soon as pos­sible.
Then all will remain happy.

Sparse Attendance
At Formals Causes
Student Concern
Dear Editor:
It is not the intent of this let­ter
to enhance the writer's ego,
nor to make derogatory remarks
directed toward any organization
or practices presently in force on
our campus; the purpose is to
bring into focus some existing so­cial
conditions and, perhaps, to
stir students to reconsider a few
basic issues hei-e on this campus.
One of the highlights of a so­cial
Greek group on a college
campus is their annual formal
dance. Their purpose, jit appears,
is to provide social intercourse not
only for themselves, but to give
non-members a chance to see the
pride and prestige in, belonging
to a specific Greek group. Signi­ficant
amounts of timefbnd money
are expended to createfan atmos­phere
that will transport;" the par­ticipants
from the insijpid routine
(?) of college life to'a delight­ful
make - believe wonderland
reminiscent of societal debuts.
The Greek' members enjoy pre--
paring'for the dances and, per-1
haps, enjoy the idea that others'
may get pleasure from their crea­tion
also; it seems that they would
welcome large crowds at their de-
• buts. Yet, the discouraging fac­tor
is that the other Greek so­cial
groups do not evjen express
their common courtesy) by show-
. ing up for the occasiqh. This is
a preplexing situation!'
Drawing out the implications,
one could ask these questions:.
• 1, Is this growing apathy in so­cial
'affairs a reflection of our
_ highly specialized civilization; e.
g.', is an insipid, apathetic per- .
sonality now the socially approved
manner of behaving?
2. Are college Creek social .
groups losing the basic founda­tions
for their existence?
3. If so, would it be a good idea
to convert present fraternity hous­es
into dormitories to provide
room and board for the members?
These are truly distressing im­plications—
perhaps, the writer
may be just a bit cynical. Never­theless,
it is food for thought—
what, do you think?
, Sincerely,
Wilmer H. Bekcers
Student Wife Says
Parking Editorial
Is Not Solution
Dear Editor: \
If a lowly student wife can ox-press
her opinion of the most
rudely written editorial in the last
Plainsman, I would like to do so.
As one of those "unfortunates"
who is both a staff member and a
student wife, I cannot see where
the proposed plan to issue decals
to student wives for the class in.
which their husbands are mem­bers
will eliminate a great deal
of the fnjustice in the parking
system. It seems to me that this il
just shifts the injustice to another
group of people. Is there good rea­son
for showing discrimination
against the student wives and not
the rest of the staff members? For
instance, why should I have to
park in the "C" zone if I happen
to have the "disadvantage" (?) of
being married to a student while
the secretary who works next
door to me can park in the "A"
zone because she is unmarried?
Again,, why can I not park outside
the building in which I work when
the maintenance workers can
park right outside the building in
which they work? And again, I
feel that my work is as important
in its place as the instructor's —

'Pot Shouldn't Call
The Kettle Black'
I have just finished reading
your letter concerning the .dis­respect
of the Auburn males for
Ihe coeds.
I do not think the boys should
be condemned by a woman of 75
years ago. I am in a house very
near one of the local dorms. It is
an odd occasion when I see a few
shades pulled down in the dorm.
I do not' agree that all boys
should be judged by the actions
of a few, as we do not judge all
of the girls by the few that'put
on a show for us about three
nights a week.
I agree that it is a very sicken­ing
sight. I have never, been so
shocked to see it happen. I have
always believed in the old fa-shioned_
girl. ___,
Arid also, about the language of.
the "young ladies." The writer
mentioned the language 6f the
males oh this campus. I have had
a few classes with some girls.
When a quiz paper was returned
and they had made an "F" it was
not Sunday school language which
I heard.
I am not trying to slander any
coeds on this campus. I think
Agjburn has a fine bunch of girls.
What I am pointing out is thai
the pot should not call the kettle
black which this girl did in her
letter. Please publish this ietter.

Tiger Baseballers Begin Workouts,
Open Season Against Florida State
With spring just around the corner, Plainsman base­b
a l l e r s are c u r r e n t l y in their t h i r d week of t r a i n i n g ,for the
1957 season which opens March 19.
Coach Dick McGowen, as well as several key players,
a r e engaged in football activity, and drills have not yet
reached full tempo, but a squad of 25 is working out daily under the
direction of Captain Billy Ray Roberson.
Five regulars are missing from the '56 squad which posted a 12-
l'l mark and finished third in the SEC's Eastern Division, but a half
dozen lettermen return to form a strong nucleus, for this year's
combine. McGowen is counting heavily on a fine group of' sophomores
to blend with last year's reserves and several topnotch free agents
in bolstering '57 flag chances. He expects to field a stronger club
with major improvements coming from an increase in team speed
and pitching depth.
Relative strength among conference teams is elated to be dis­tributed
much as it has been in the past few years when the Tigers
had to battle Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Florida for the Eastern title.
The season opening series will be played against Florida State
in Tallassee March 19-20 and the first home games will be March
22-23 when the perennially powerful Georgia Bulldogs furnish
the opposition. A 28-game schedule is on tap with 14 of the clashes
set for friendly Plainsman Park.
Shortstop Roberson was recently elected to captain the Plains­men
through the coming campaign and hurler Wynton Overstreet,
the big lefthander from Brewton, was named alternate captain.
Roberson, who returned from service in time for the '56 season,
hit .287, led the league in stolen bases, runs scored, and was second
in runs batted.in. The 170-pound senior from Florence was an Au­burn
regular for two years before entering the army, and after play­ing
a-year under New York Yankee second baseman Billy Martin at
i^^^^M^gjjM^Mg:^ Camp Carson, Colo., established
[ himself as one of college base-i
ball's finest shortstops.
I Overstreet, a three-year let-
Iterman, was charged with five
straight setbacks in '56 but turned
in several outstanding perform­ances
and at times showed signs
of brilliance. The lack of control
has probably been Overstreet's
principal handicap but with con­siderable
experience now under
his belt, he is being groomed for
the number one starting1 assign -
I ment.
Besides Roberson and Over-
I street, other returning veterans
are third sacker Jack Crouch, a
I junior from Miami, Fla., who hit
.347 last year and was named to
' the All-SEC team; catcher Pat
Duke, Centerville, who under-stu31eff-
3|fhmy Powell; fir^JUine
* "utility outfielder L. F.
' »
Rookie moundsmen are in abundance and are expected to
handle a large share of the hurling chores. Henry Dumas, a fast-balling
righthander from Chatom who was ineligible last year, is
considered one of the most promising young pitchers on the
Plains in many a year. Other highly regarded sophomore pitchers
include Fred McDuffie, a slightly built righthander from Mobile
who was the ace of last year's frosh squad; versatile Gerald
George, who will probably wind up in the Infield if an injured
arm does not come around; lefty Tommy Watts who shared duties
with McDuffie on'the '56 yearling nine; and Richard Wood, the
6'5" footballer from Lanett. .*
Pearce, the tiny righthander from Birmingham who already owns
three diamond letters, ran into a streak of hard luck while dropping
some close early season decisions in '56 but was very impressive in
going the route in copping his last two starts. As Paul Susce's run­ning
mate in '54 and '55, he enjoyed very good seasons. Martin, a
service veteran from Fayette, played his first baseball for the Tigers
last year and although used mostly in relief, roles posted a 2-0 mark.
Lanier, a Lanett product starting his fourth straight cam­paign,
hit .302 last year while playing all three outfield positions.
He will undoubtedly hold down a garden post during the coming
season, but which one depends largely on how several slugging
rookies turn out.
Battling Roberson for shortstop duties will be sophomores
Charles Carlan from Defuniak Springs, Fla., and Jimmy Lee, the
basketballer from Columbus. Lee'boasts a fabulous high school career
but did not play as a freshman.
Sophomore Lloyd Nix, the Kansas, Ala., halfback, has the
first, base position just about nailed down. He battled for a .447
mark and proved tb be a fancy fielder as a frosh. Service re­turnee
Bob James, a junior from Auburn, and Buddy Young, a
soph from Birmingham and the younger brother of last year's
captain Guy Young, are in a two way battle for the keystone post.
Long ball hitting sophomore outfielders Jackie Burkett, Panama
City; Rex Frederick, Corner; and Riley Preston, Ashford; are expected
to lend big bats to the War Eagle lineup. Also very much in the
thick of the fight for a starting outfield position will be Jimmy
Laster, the grid halfback from Covington, Ga., who hit .272 in 14
games at third base last year.
Duke, with game experience, a strong arm, and tremendous
speed on the bases prominent among his talents, has the inside
track on the receiving job, but a bumper group of sophs are
breathing down his neck. Among these are Horace Williams,
Montgomery; Morris Savage, Dora; Boyd Whigham, Louisville;
and Bill Long, Brewton.
A number of other candidates are also working out for the
team and with several positions up for grabs, any one of several men
could break into the lineup. Among those who are now out or will
be out after the A-Day game March 9 include third basemen Paul
Hemphill, Birmingham, and Ty Samples, Huntsville; first baseman
Hindman Wall, Birmingham; and outfielders Jerry Wilson, Birming­ham,
and Leo Sexton, Atlanta.

"Most improved man on the. squad" is the way Tiger
basketball mentor, Joel Eaves, has described t h e sharp shoot­ing

to be one of the best reserves on the Tiger bench and is

On last year's freshman team,

Produce Six Champions
By JOHN BOEHL
Plainsman Sports Writer
"It is t h e best balanced t e am ever in this tourney," said
Coach Swede Umbach after his talented Auburn t e am had
taken the Southeastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Champion­ship
S a t u r d a y night at t h e Sports Arena. He continued, "They
a r e a young team, all potentially outstanding wrestlers, a fine
bunch of boys." Of course, every­thing
he said was true and any­one
who witnessed the fine ex­hibition
of mat skill certainly saw
southern wrestling, if not nat­ional
wrestling, at its best.
For the Plainsman team it was
just a matter of performing in
the style customary for Auburn
wrestling squads as it was, the
eleventh consecutive Southeast­ern
crown for Umbach's charges.
The final team standings were as
follows: Auburn, 98 points; Uni­versity
of Chattanooga, 73; Se-wanee,
48; Emory, 40; Mary ville
College, 34; Vanderbilt, 8; and
Tusculum College, 4.
All the championship matches
resulted in close hard-fighting
struggles. One of the biggest sur­prises
was Auburn's 123-pound

''What's it like to be
A MANUFACTURING ENGINEER
AT IBM?"
Four years ago, Yale senior Lee Baker asked himself this question;
Today, as a Product Control Engineer in IBM Manufacturing Engineering;
Lee reviews his experience and gives some pointers that may be helpful
to you in taking the first, most important step in your engineering career.
Jordan Pleased With Spring Training
Spring football practice pro­gressed
into its third week Mon­day
with Coach Jordan being
generally well pleased with deT
velopments. Most of the veterans
,who were not lost to graduation
are sitting out training sessions
for various reasons and the new
men are getting plenty of oppor­tunities
to show their wares.
Some of the more pleasant sur­prises
of the spring so far has
been the work of guards Zeke
Smith, and Don Braswell, full­back
Ronnie Robbs, tackle Ted
Foret, center Jackie Burkett,
quarterbacks Johnny Kern and
Bryant Harvard, halfbacks Roy
Brazil and Lamar Rawson, and
end Leo Sexton.
" I t ' s tough," Lee sympathizes, "foi
a college senior to feel confident about
choosing a job. For four years he's
been trained to be critical and delib­erate
about making -decisions. Now,
faced with the biggest decision of all,
he has only a few months in which to
attend job interviews, separate the
facts from the propaganda, and select
a company—not to mention passing
exams and graduating at the same
time."
Lee, with a B.S. in Industrial Ad­ministration,
came to IBM in 1953.
Starting as a Technical Engineer in
Production Control, he was immedi­ately
assigned to the General Manu­facturing
Education program—a
How to select an employer |
To the college senior faced.with a
job decision, Lee has this to say:
"Pick your employer by this simple
test: 'Is the company expanding fast
enough to provide adequate scope
for your talents and ambitions? Is it
interested in your long-range man­agement
development? Will "it treat
What's "life" like at IBM?
At IBM, Poughkeepsie, Lee lives
a "full life." He belongs to a local
sports car group, drives an Austin
Healy. He skis at Bromley. He is a
member of the IBM Footlighters and
a local drama workshop. At present,
he shares an apartment with two
other engineers, and a "medium-ft"
Bet, but plans to marry "the girl
next door" (in hometown Hamburg,
Conn.), in the very near future. In
this connection, Lee advises seniors
to pay special attention to company
benefits. " T h e y may seem like a
yawning matter when you're single,
but they mean a lot when you as­sume
responsibilities. IBM's are the
best I know." \
Designing a paperwork systsm
lOrmonth course with rotating as­signments
in all phases of the work
-e- manufacturing, purchasing, pro­duction.
In addition to four weeks of
formal classroom study, he also spent
two in the Boston Sales Office, calling
on accounts with the IBM salesmen.
Lee's career was temporarily inter­rupted
by a two-year hitch with the
Air Force in Korea. Back at IBM
in 1955, he has since been pro­moted
to Production Control Engi­neer.
His present job is to design
paperwork systems to insure a smooth
flow of work through the plant where
the famous IBM electronic computers
are manufactured. "It takes creative
engineering ability to design these
systems," says Lee, "and it takes
administrative ability to 'sell' a sys-'
tern to higher management and make
i t stick."
"Silling" i n * syttam -,
you as an individual and match your
abilities with the most challenging
assignments?'"
For his part, Lee feels IBM has
met this test. Since 1953, he has seen
new plants open, dozens of new prod­ucts
evolve, hundreds of new man­agement
positions created. Greater
authority, responsibility and reward
have come his way. And he knows
they will continue, for IBM sales
Recognition of. individual merit {
have been doubling on the average
every five years since 1930. He likes
the "small-team" engineering system
that assures ready recognition of indi­vidual
merit. And he appreciates the
fact that IBM hired him despite his
impending service bitch.

FASTER,FASTER!
P i c k up your paper every morning and what do you
read ? "CRISIS IN HIGHER EDUCATION." That's what you
read. "ENROLLMENT SPIRALLING UPWARD — DESPERATE
NEED FOR MORE CLASSROOMS, MORE TEACHERS." But
classrooms, alas, do not spring up like mushrooms, nor
teachers like mayflies. So what must we do while we
build more classrooms, train more teachers? We must
get better use out of the classrooms and teachers we now
have. That's what we must do.
This column, normally a vehicle of good-humored
foolery, of joy that wrinkled care derides, of laughter
holding both his sides, will today forsake levity to ex­amine
the crisra'Tn-fcfgher education. My sponsors, the
makers of Philip Morris Cigarettes, as bonnie a bunch
of tycoons as you will see in a month of Sundays, have
given cheerful consent to this departure. Oh, splendid
chaps they are, the makers of Philip Morris! Oh, darlin*
types they are, fond of home, mother, porridge, the Con­stitution,
and country fiddling! Twinkly and engaging
they are, jaunty and sociable, roguish and winsome, as
full of joy, as packed with pleasure, as brimming with
natural goodness, as loaded with felicity as the ciga­rettes
they bring you in two convenient sizes — regular
in the handy snap-open pack, and new long-size in a
crushproof flip-top box — both available at moderate cost
from your favorite tobacconist. Light one now. Light
either end. No filter cigarette can make that statement.
Let us then, with the gracious connivance of the
makers of Philip Morris — Oh, splendid chaps! Oh, gra­cious
connivers! — take up the terribly vexing question
of how we can turn out more graduates with campus
facilities as they now exist.
The answer can be given in one word: speedup! Speed
up the educational process. Streamline courses. Elimi­nate
frills. Sharpen. Shorten. Quicken.
Following is a list of courses with suggested methods
to speed up each one.
* PHYSICS f- Eliminate slow neutrons.
PSYCH LAB —Tilt the mazes downhill,
mice will r«n much faster.
The white
ENGINEERING — Make slide rules half as long.
MUSIC - Change all tempo to allegro. (A collateral
benefit to be gained from this suggestion is that once
you speed up waltz time, campus proms will all be over by
10 p.m. With students ,-roing home so early, romance will
languish and marriage counselors can be transferred
to the buildings and grounds department. Also, housing
now used for married students can be returned to the
school of animal husbandry.)
ALGEBRA — If "x" always equals 24, much time-con­suming
computation can be eliminated.
LANGUAGES — Teach all language courses in English.
DENTISTRY - Skip baby teeth. They fall out anyhow.
POETRY — Amalgamate the classics. Like this:
Hail to thee, blithe spirit
Shoot if you must this old gray head
You aint nothin' but a hound dog
Smiling the boy fell dead.
You see how simple it is? Perhaps you have some
speedup ideas of your own. i If so, I'll thank you to keep
them to yourselves.
.- . ..©Max,Shulman,. 1957
The makers of Philip Morris have no interest in any speedup.
We age our fine tobacco slow and easy. And that's the way it
smokes—slow and easy—a natural smoke. .

Al Morris (right) discusses a new amplifier system with Howard D. Thomas, one of his foremen.
"After training.,.it's up to you"
That's what Alfred E. Morris says
about the Bell System. "And that's the
way I like it," he adds. ''Right now
I'm in a job I didn't think I'd have for
ten or fifteen years."
The job Al thought was more than
a decade away is Plant Superintendent
for the Hutchinson district in Kansas
with Southwestern Bell. "You can sum
up my work by saying I'm responsible
for the installation and maintenance of
all telephone equipment in a large part
of central Kansas," Al says. "In times
of emergency—a tornado, for instance—
I have complete charge of maintaining
and restoring service." *>
Here's how Al describes the steps that
led up to his present job: "I started out
in Bell's management training program
in 1951. This gave me an excellent'*
opportunity to learn about all jobs in
the. company—not just the job I'd be
doing. The program was well' organ­ized,
and I got a lot out of it.
"My first assignment was to coordi­nate
a dial conversion in La Crosse,
Kansas, a quarter-million-dollar opera­tion.
My next assignments were in_
Abilene and Lawrence. Both carried in­creased
responsibility.
"I-knew I was moving along pretty
fast—but I'was really surprised when
my present job came up. It bears out
what my wife and I thought when I
joined Bell—there would be great
chances for advancement."

avid fisherman. He also spends
much time at home with his at­tractive

Samples can be used as either a
forward or a -guard. He has ap­peared
in 15 games this year and
has collected 65 points as well
as a number of rebounds. He is
always good in a clinch and his
points usually come when most
needed.
He collected 7 against Tech, 8
against Vandy, 12 against Florida,
7 in our loss to Georgia and 8
against „ Rice. His 46.8 per cent
floor accuracy is second only to
Rex Frederick.
Hart
Vols Drop Auburn
From SEC Race
Auburn's last ember of hope
for the SEC crown died Saturday
night when the Tigers ! were
handed their fourth conference
loss at the hands of the late-starting
Tennessee Vols, 85-75.
But another sophomore, Henry
"Po Devil" Hart, poured in 25
markers to lead
trie Plainsmen.
He,was follow­ed
by Jimmy
Lee w i t h 18
points. Next in
l i n e for the
visitors f r om
Alabama was
Henry Sturkie
with 14 points.
The Villagers
.started, off like
a house a-fire,
grabbing an 18-6 lead, but the
Vols pecked away and at the half
led 36-35.
The game stayed close until
the finsft ten minutes and the
Tennessee aggregation poured on
the steam, scoring eight straight
points before the Tigers could
mustes even a free throw.
Ky. Rips Plainsmen
The Kentucky Wildcats clinch­ed
their 17th SEC crown when
they downed the scrappy Auburn
five by a score of 103-85 in Lex­ington
Monday night.
Hart led the scoring for Au­burn
with 22 markers, while
Frederick contributed 18, Bill
McGriff 12, Henry Sturkie 8,
and Jimmy Lee 15. Four Ken­tucky
players hit better than 20
points for the Bluegrass boys.
Trie loss brought the Tiger
slate to a record of 8-5 in SEC
play, good enough for a share
of third place in the league.
Frosh Tackle Bama After Beating Snead
Auburn's Baby Tigers under
the direction of Coach Bill Lynn
will journey to Montgomery this
Friday to meet Alabama's Crim­son
Tide yearlings in a return
engagement. The Tiger frosh
dropped a close 76-73 decision to
Bama a few weeks ago.
Last week the P l a i n s m an
warmed up for the Bama game as
they polished off Snead Junior
College by a 81-76 margin.
For the seventh straight week
the Villagers were led by their
"big four, Jimmy Fibbe, Ray
Grppver, "Shot" Johnson and
Bayward McManus.
The Tigers jumped to an early
game lead only to see Snead
fight back to gain a five-point
advantage at the half.
But Coach*Lynn's quintet was
not to be denied and went to
work, building up as high as a
10-point lead but dropping to
five before the game ended.
