girls by Squires, sophomore men's
honorary.

Ouf-Of-Sfafe Fee
Raised By Board;
Effective In Summer
Out-of-state fees will be in­creased
from $45 per quarter to
$60 per'quarter effective Summer
Quarter. The increase was approv­ed
at a recent Board of Trustees
meeting.
According to Dr. David W. Mul-lins,
executive vice-president, no
other fees were increased. This is
the first time in several years
that the out-of-state fee has been
raised.
Reason for the change, accord­ing
to Dr. Mullins, was the fact
that Auburn's out-of-state fee was
out of line with that of other in­stitutions
in Alabama and neigh­boring
states. Even with the in­crease,
Auburn's fee is lower than
that of most nearby schools.

Three received injuries in
an automobile accident that
s t a r t l ed passers-by as two
cars collided on the corner of
Tiger Street and Dormitory
Drive behind Magnolia Hall
at 1 p.m. y e s t e r d a y.
Involved in the accident were
A. A. Hill, electrical foreman with
the Department of Buildings and
Grounds; Charles A. Mandy, fresh­man
in industrial management
from Birmingham, and Robert L.
Bragg, freshman in aeronautical
engineering from Mobile.
Hill was taken to the Lee Coun­ty
Hospital shortly after the ac­cident.
He was reported to be in
fairly good condition suffering
lacerations of the face and possib­ly
broken ribs. The two students
involved were able to walk to
Drake Infirmary and were still
under observation at Plainsman
press time but appear to have only
minor bruises.
Witnesses stated that Hill was
traveling east on Dormitory Drive
and passed through a stop sign
at the corner of Tiger. Mandy,
with Bragg as a passenger, was
driving his car south on Tiger
as Hill was making a left tufn in
front of him. He applied his brakes
but it was too late to avert the
accident. Mandy stated his speed
to be about 30 to 35 miles per hour.
I \
The impact of the collision drove
Hill's car about 20 feet down the
street. Officers stated that Mandy
had skidded about 36 feet after
putting on his brakes.
The front ends of both cars
were damaged considerably. Man-dy's
sterring wheel was bent where
he has been thrown into it by the
collision.-
It was stated that a possible
cause of the accident could have
been the fact that a truck was il­legally
parked next to the corner
in such as way that vise n was im-1 urged to attends

(Continued from Page 1)
eral Chairman of Village Fair,
commented, "The weekend was a
big success due to the fine coop­eration
of every one involved,
and that includes committees,
students, and every person who

and best one yet."
President Dick Scott had this
to say: "This was the most out­standing
Village Fair in Auburn's
history and was made possible by
the students and faculty who
worked long and hard to prepare
for the weekend. Because of the
aid from the weather bureau and
the turnout of visitors this open
house should be recorded as a
high success. We were especially
pleased by the large number of
visiting parents."

Wanted: Library
We need a new library. Does anyone
doubt this? Our present library is inade­quate,
outmoded. Its services are hamper­ed
by lack of space. Its books are crowded
into the space available, and many valu*
able volumes are stored in wooden, tem­porary
buildings because of lack of space
in the main library.
Our library does not spend enough
mqney per student to meet accrediting
standards. Its collections are absolutely
inadequate for all the courses now being
offered.
But the greatest need is a new build^
ing. The library, now far inferior to the
University's Gorgas Library, has been
promised greater funds when a new build­ing
has been constructed.
But when will that new building
come? We have been waiting, for years
now, and with the type of individuals we.,
have in the legislature now, forever may
not be too long a waiting period to expect.
For a state school, the state should
provide funds for a structure such as this.
But when the legislature neglects this reT
sponsibility of the state and does it con­tinuously,
then we should try some way
of providing our building.
"If a dependent's provider fails to pro­vide
shelter, that dependent should try
to find some shelter for himself. And like­wise,
if the legislature will hot provide
a library such as we need, then we should
try to find some way of providing it for
ourselves.
We have waited patiently for the state
to provide a library adequate for us. Many
years have been spent in waiting. Now
the need has grown to a point where we
should wait no longer. Auburn has built
its own stadium, dormitories* and Union
Building with revenue bonds. It looks
as though we must also build our own li­brary.
. .
The question now is, "How?"
KLEMM'S CLAMOR
Raise Fees
Auburn's fees are low, as fees should
be in land-grant colleges. In addition
API fees are low in comparison with fees
of other schools in this area. College liv­ing
expenses are low here, also, but fees
still make up only a very small portion of
the total college expense.
With these thoughts in mind, we can
also think of our most pressing need—a
new library. To properly fill our require­ments
a $1,750,000 library would be need­ed.
Yet, with the issue of 30 year revenue
bonds that would have enough revenue to
make them saleable, a fee increase of only
$6 per quarter would be necessary.
With the cost of going to college cur­rently
running at around $900-$! 000 per
year, $6 per quarter would hardly be a
drop in the bucket to most of us. But the
benefits of a new library with plenty of
reading rooms, plenty of study space, and
more adequate collections of books would
be more than we can now realize.
No one today can realize how we got
along without the Auburn Union Building.
It's services and meaning to the Student
Body increase each quarter. We can all
say that it is one of the best investments
ever made here.
Likewise, an adequate library, which
we can hardly imagine, because of our
lack of acquaintance with one, would fill
a gap which exists here. The many sepa­rate
reading rooms would be an incentive
and an aid to our studies, and this-is only
one feature of the proposed library.
We spend untold sums of money on
unacademic phases of our education. A
mere $6 per quarter could enrich our lives
to an unrealized extent.
Should the administration and the
board of trustees find enough sentiment in
the student body for such a small increase
in fees for the purpose of a new library, it
is entirely within possibility that they
would take the necessary steps to raise
the fees, issue bonds, and build our long
awaited library.
Committee Needed
This year another Auburn strident1
won a Fulbright Scholarship to stully
abroad. We can be proud of this accom­plishment,
but we can also be ashamea
that Auburn only had one".'
One reason why more foreign scholar­ships
are not won by Auburn students is
that not enough apply. Only seven ap­plied
for the Fulbright Awards this year,
regardless of the fact that the scholarship
provides ample funds for a year's study
abroad. I
Another scholarship, one which car­ries
with it great distinction, is the Rhodes,
which provides two years of study at Ox­ford
University, England. But the Rhodes
had no takers. Not one applied.
These are not the only opportunities
for study abroad, however. In addition
there are the Marshall Scholarships and
others. But we are hindered by lack of
applicants.
The faculty committee on these scho­larships
publicizes the awards by means of
to foster the Auburn spirit

- college bulletin boards and has befpre

Word does not seem to get around,
however.
For that reason we suggest that a stu­dent
committee be created to stir up in­terest
in these awards and to encourage
qualified students to a|}ply for them. It
would not be difficult to locate the records
of students who would have, a chance of
winning, and the committee could see that
such students' we're well' informed.
A natural place for this committee -
would be in the SGA Department of Stu­dent
Welfare. No special authority would
be necessary to establish the committee
and it would provide a Useful function to
the school and" to the Students.
Through such a committee, we could
hope to raise the number of API students
winning these awards.
Spring Elections
The student body is certainly to be
congratulated on its turnout for the spring
elections. More students than ever before
cast their ballots this spring.
More heated electioneering was in evi­dence
this year. The car top sign caught
the candidates' fancy, for these sighs blos­somed
everywhere, and by election day
campaign cars filled nearly all the parking
places.
Again nearly everyone wore a sign for
some candidate. Many carried signs on
poles all day long. An innovation in the
, election was the adveht of dogs with signs.
Bumper strips with day-glo paint were
also introduced.
Magnolia Hall residents were particu­larly
canvassed, as almost every candi­date
made the rounds of its rooms seeking
votes.
Good candidates from both parties
vied for the students' support this year,
and a bi-partisan Senate* is the result.
The election foretold some possible
future changes in party lines, = as some
groups left their former loyalties and vot­ed
with different blocs.
Now that the election and campaign­ing
are over, and the new men have been
elected, we look for all to buckle down to
a year's privilege of working for Auburn.
There is an opportunity for all of them,
and for anyone else too, to do his part in
student government or publications. Lit­erally
hundreds of people are necessary
for the carrying oh of their work. There­fore,
almost anyone's help can be used.
PART iV
With' U. S. troops on hand to
converge into the Middle-East
conflict, many of us at home are
more prone than usual to ponder
the threat of Communism'. And
among the first
questions W e
ask is why are
these and other
foreign coun­tries
so import­ant
to the U. S.
It is t h e ir
f i g h t ; why
should we get
involved? Why
walk into an­other
Korea?
Unfortunately our position is
such thar we must, for our own
security, maintain peace in most
all nations of the world. We rely
oh these countries for many of the
raw materials for our armed for­ces.
For example, the U. S. con­trols
only 22% of the world's per
troleum supplies. With the excep­tion
of iron, copper and zinc, the
Another Korea?
' U. S. must import over 50% of
fourteen other metals used in na­tional
defense.
Of more immediate importance
in many foreign countries is the
great danger that the U. S. might
loose its military bases. Russia has
been ringed' with a network of
military posts, which can serve as
striking points in the event of all-out
war. To lose these footholds
would require a concentration of
our military might in the U. S. and
render it overly vulnerable to de­vastation.
In the .Middle East,
where turmoil is now the greatest,
the U. S. has some eighteen de­fense
bases which are in jeporady.
Morocco, Algeria, Jordan, and Cy­prus
seek separation from our al­lies,
Britain and France; Russia is
naturally willing to help these
countries break their ties with the
West and is aggitating accordingly.
In addition, Iran, Syria, Iraq and
Egypt are under extreme com­munist
influence to split off from
the free world.
Thus we find ourselves at the
mercy of circumstance, a situa-

BY BILL KLEMM
tion which forces us to preserve
at all costs the independence of
our present allies. These allies are
oh the auction block, bidded for
by communism and capitalism.
How much of the world goes to
communism will determine the
outcome of this great conflict of
ideaologies.
The world supports the econo­mics
and armed forces of both
Russia and the U. S. Without al-j
lied support the U. S. .couid not
sustain its extensive military ma­chine.
Toward this end Russia is
trying to cut off this supply of the
raw materials of war and the U.S.
defense foot-holds overseas. Such
an event would break the balance
of power which n6w exists and
would be in a position to re-in­voke
its doctrine of "revolution by
violence." It' is toward this end
that all Soviet maneuvers—how­ever
sublime—are- ultimately di­rected.

FROM THE ALAMO
Shake, Rattle And Segregate
An interesting question about
the mob attack of Nat "King" Cole
in Birmingham last week is just
\vhy it occured. It is known quite
W i d e l y that
Negro music is
being boycotted
by the White
Citizens Coun­cil.
It is con­sidered
"deca­dent,"
and pro-
Negro.
Now just who
are the amaz­ing
critics of
music in this group that are able
to deve into the soul of the stuff
and say.it's pro Negro? It is sup­posed
that they are talking about
the present fad of rhythm and
blues that now infests the local
jukeboxes.
It is a question of personal
taste whether or not the stuff is
good. But - it is another question
as to' whether it1'is pro-Negro or
not; V?
If you agree that it is, then this
query would be order. Do you like
Shostakovich? Contemporary crit­ics
regard his music as among the
best written over the past two de­cades.
Rut you shouldn't listen to
Shostakovich. Oh, no. He's a com-muhist.
Do you like Tschaikovsky
or Chopin? You better watch it;
they,were immoralists of the very
lowest type. How about Wagner?
He was most unfaithful to his
wife, so you may be hearing music
that tells you- subtly how to be a
s'inner.
The Birmingham attack by the
group of Anniston hoodlums (and
any other hoodlum from whatever
city^ completely missed the point
on the music question anyway.
Nat Cole is one of the greatest
jazz pianists and song stylists in
the world, as most people know.
Appearing with him was Ted
Heath's band from E n g l a nd
(white), June Christy, a singer
(white) and the Four Freshman
vocal group (white). All of these
are near the top, if not gft the top,
of their particular^branch of music.
They're musicians, not politici­ans.
Of course, the idea is absurd.
The creators of this hair-brained
scheme are simply trying to find
another way to further repress the
Negro.
Let/ me say now that I don't be­lieve
the leaders of the Council
had anything to do with the attack.
I don't think they would condone
such goings-on. Surely they-would
know that such stupidity would be
splattered over every northern
newspaper and magazine (as well
as southern) in the nation and
overseas, as well. Surely they real­ize
that this raging of the press
will do nothing more than stir up
more violent resentment against
BY SAM HOUSTON
the south, which in turn will
cause pressure on Congress, which
in turn may put even more pres­sure
on the south. And so it be­comes
a vicious circle.
Today's unrest in the north-
~south controversy approximates
somewhat the feeling of the 1850's.
Violent and bitter accusations hur­led
back and forth across the Ma-son-
Dixion line. Strife in national
politics. But it will never approach
anything like our unfortunate past,
of course, because of the infinite
economic ties which makes sec­tions
of the country interdepend­ent
on each other.
There has even been talk that
the NAACP is secretly to blame
for the attack. A little thought
makes it seem a bit ridiculous
when you "consider the possibility
of discovery and its consequences.
The leaders of that organization
probably wouldn't play that sort
of dirty pool, although they were
doubtless glad it happened. Any­thing
to stir up more ndise of that
sort certainly wouldn't hurt them.
There is a better possibility that
it was done on a lower level, far
below the Association's hierarchy,
but even this is doubtful. Local
leaders probably wouldn't have
dared so masterful a stroke to get
publicity for their group.
Whatever the outcome, you can
be sure it will be loud, long, and
will smell quite highly.

PASSING STREAM
Thoughts On The Election
BY ANNE RIVERS
Last week's election is a thing
of. the past, the outward bustle
and undercurrents of excitement
and tension are gone, and have
left in their wake a new and very
capable slate of officers for. the
coming year.
The nominations and subse­quent
campaigns had a new qua­lity
this year—a sort of calculat­ing
determination not hitherto
found in elections on the Auburn
campus. Along with the usual
flurry of speculation "and posters
arid earnest campaign speeches, a
hew.and refreshing vitality crept
into the political goings-on.
People—more people than ever
before—went to the polls.
Discussions preceding the elec­tions
weren't just the indifferent,
shrugged shoulders type of thing
as many other Auburn elections
have prompted. People talked
intelligently on the. pros and cons
of each candidate, about benefits
of office both to Auburn and to
themselves. For the first time,
a great majority of the voting en­rollment
knew the facts concern­ed
with the election.
For this, the individual candi­dates
themselves and their cam­paign
managers are to be com­mended.
Information is vitally
necessary to intelligent selection
of student leaders. And this time
more information reached more
people than ever before. Cam­paigns
were more extensive, more
detailed, and more concise. As a
result more people voted.
The goal of a representative
two-party system of student gov­ernment
(and after all, isn't this
the ultimate aim of government
everywhere?) came closer than
ever before to being realized.
This can only be accomplished
through education of the voting
populace, and education can come
about only through the stimula­tion
of interest in candidates and
their qualifications.
All our hats should be off to
the people who brought . this
about — to the candidates and
their managers for the intelligent
realization that only representa­tive
student government should
ihclude the vote of every single
one of us—to the people who took
the time to learn the facts, mull
them over, and then cast their
vote — and to the winners, who
are as capable a group as could
be found.
Intelligence is a valuable trait-
It's good to see it exercised in
regard to something as important
as Student Government. And it's-particularly
reassuring to feel
that the students of Auburn
knew enough—and cared enough
—about the issues involved to
precipitate such a fine turnout as
was evidenced at the polls last
Thursday.

New Prexy Speaks
Dear Students,
I would like to thank you for
your, participation in the past
election. The interest in the two-party
system, the zest of the in­dividual
candidates and their
campaign managers, and the elec­tion
of Miss Auburn in the spring
rather than the fall was, I feel,
the basis of the succcess of the
election. We made a definite step
toward the goal of all democratic
societies in that fifty-seven per
cent of the student body voted.
This is something for us to be
proud of.
I wish to express my apprecia­tion
for the trust and confidence
that the student body has placed
in me. I feel that it is a great
honor, and am looking forward
to working with each of you in
the coming year.
I would, like to congratulate
Millard Fuller on his splendid
campaign. Also, for every stu­dent
who is interested in Working
with Student Government t he
door toimy office and to the Sen­ate
is always open Your interest,
ideas, and participation during,
the coming year will be necessary
for us to achieve our one com­mon
goal—a better Auburn.
Sincerely,

Elections Termed

Last week the Auburn student

•WELL.miHIM AGAIN— I'LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE."
1 BELIEVE
Live Each Day
BY MARY ANN SWOPE
"But take rto thought for t he
morrow, for the morrow will take
thought for the things of itself.""
We as college students seem al­ways
in a rush—making plans,
studying for the quiz next week,
preparing for life. Maybe we
have to be concerned about these
things, but sometimes I think we
worry too much about the future.
I'm not advocating living it up
today and forgetting tomorrow,
but possibly there should be a
shift of emphasis. I'm afraid we
have a tendency to get so con­cerned
about tomorrow that we
can't get the most out of today.
It seems to me that the happiest,
most successful people are ones
who live each moment as it comes
—they are so busy filling each
day with work and recreation
that they don't have time to wor­ry
about the future. We all know
of people who worry so much
about failing a quiz or in some
goal that they don't have time to
apply themselves, and conse­quently
they do fail.
James, the disciple, wrote, "Ye
khow not what shall be on the
morrow." And one of the Pro­verbs
says, "Boast not thyself of
tomorrow; for thou knowest not
what a day may bring forth." We
have no control over what will
happen, even if we should know
future events, so why ruin today
by busying ourselves with the
thoughts of tomorrow? • How can
we do our best work if we- do
not have .our complete attention
devoted to our present task?
Someone has said something to
the effect that yesterdays are but
dreams, and tomorrows are but
visions; but if we put our best
into each day, our yesterdays will
be dreams of happiness, and our
tomorrows will be visions of
hope. No one has ever helped
himself or the world by "crossing
bridges before he comes to them."
It is so much easier to take one
step at a time, especially if Christ
is by your side to show the way.
I believe that we should -live and
do our best in each minute—for
Christ and for others.
MERRY-GO-ROUND
Real Goals Of College
BY HAL MORGAN
With spring quarter graduation
in the not too distant future the
time has come for a great many
seniors to look back over, their
college years. Each individual will
reflect upon
something dif­ferent
than his
fellow class­mate
but all
will recall some
things in com­mon.
T h e r e are
those who will
recall the late
hours s p e nt
Working over lab reports or study­ing
for that quiz the next day.
There are others who will think
about football games and the
noisy cheers of the crowds. Then
there are those who will remem­ber
the balmy spring afternoons
Spent at Lake Chewacla, and the
qUiet nights when steaks were
cooked over open fires.
Parties and dances will awaken
memories in the minds of many.
Perhaps still others will look back
over the hours they spent planning
those parties and. working to make
them successful.
In thinking about these things
the individual is provoked to ask
himself the question, "Has my
college life been worthwhile?" or
"Have I really accomplished any­thing
while here in school?"
Let us talk about the real goals
of college. What is college for?
Why do we go? What do we do
here?
Some say that they want to get
a degree; others go merely to be
with friends and to have a good
time, while still others want to get
married.
Are,these the really important
things? The cost of four years of
college is considerable so why
should ahy individual spend this
kind of money for such trivial
things?
In reality a degree is not worth
much more than the paper it's
printed. on. What is important ,is
what the degree signifies.
A college degree' signifies an
education.
There are cases, however, where
one who has a degree does not
necessarily have a complete edu­cation.
Some pass by meeting the
minimum requirements. Others
find it convenient to use the work
of fellow classmates to help pass
examinations. We also find those
who learn just enough to obtaip a
certain grade and no more'.
After graduation these things
gradually begin to show up. Some­times
the individual is able to cor­rect
the mistakes he made in col­lege.
In far too many instances,
however,- the college graduate
finds himself incapacitated by the
lack of sufficient knowledge on
the subject in which he majored,
or perhaps in merely getting along
with people.
College life may be divided into
four phases: (1) academic activi­ties,
(2) social activities, (3) ex­tra-
curricular activities and (4)
church activities. Although the
degree itself may be oBtained by
participation in only the first of.
these, the other three are also vit­ally
important toward completion
of a college education.
We find students every day who
seem to major in one of these
phases only. Everyone has seen
the social bug or the bookworm
or perhaps the fellow who never
seems to do anything but plan
meetings for his club.
To get the most from one's col­lege
life it is necessary to attain
the happy medium amopg the four
phases. Those persons most suc­cessful
in later life are those who
study to learn facts and princi­ples,
socialize to learn to get along
. with people, work at extra-cur­ricular
activities to learn organi­zation,
and go to church to learn
about God and peace of mind.
It is probably too late for the
senior to do anything about his
mistakes in college. He will have
to do what he can toward correct­ing
these after he graduates.
However the freshmen, sopo-mores
and juniors still have some,
time left. It isn't difficult to get a
well rounded education but it does
require some personal effort. The
student really desiring an educa­tion
will find that he, can develop
his habits and activities to the ex­tent
that, upon graduation, he will
be prepared to cope with most of
life's problems.

IRC Creates International Fellowship
The tall boy presiding art t h e meeting spoke with a slight
Spanish accent. The t h r e e boys waiting to present the pro­g
r am were obviously Indian or Pakistani students. Among
t h e people throughout the room were more Latin American
students, more Indian students, a Chinese student, and a few
'Americans. This is a meeting of t h e International Relations
Club at Auburn.
Twenty countries outside the
United States are represented at
this meeting. From the Far East
come students from Hong Kong,
Japan, Korea, Formosa, and the
Philippines; from the Middle
Eastern countries come students
from Lebanon, Iran, India, and
Pakistan. Greece represents the
Mediterranean countries, and
England is the representative of
the European states.
The nine remaining countries
represent the Latin American
contingency. Included are stu­dents
from Panama, Columbia,
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cuba,
Honduras, Peru, Venezuela, and
Brazil.
These students, foreign and
American, have organized to fos­ter
a better understanding of in­ternational
affairs.
As the constitution states, t h e
purpose of the club is "to pro­mote
study and discussion of
world affairs" and "to exert mu­tual
effort to fix the attention

• The club's programs are de­signed
and planned to fulfill this
purpose. Examples of the various
purposes are:
A program of Indian music and
dances presented by Indian and
Pakistani students Abdul Wa-heed,
M. M. Varma, and John
Mathai.
\ A program presented by Mila
Rivera depicting her native Phil­ippines
through slides and a film.
Indian films
A program of Indian films
showed the industrialization of
India, the art, culture, and music
of India, and the agricultural
progress of India.
Dr. Oliver" T. Ivey, Professor
from the History Department,
will present a talk on "Diploma­tic
Methods and Techniques" at
the next IRC meeting, April 19,
at 7:30.
Thus through its programs the
club's members are gaining an
understanding and appreciation
of other cultures.
The members, both foreign and
American, find in the club a mu­tual
meeting ground in which
ideas of culture, of government,
and of international living may
be discussed, exchanged and
evaluated.. .., ',...

As an Engineer in the Transmission
Section of Bell Telephone Company of
Pennsylvania, Richard M. Walsh plans
for (he future.
"Our group's responsibility," says
Dick, "is to see that we have sufficient
facilities to handle present and future
needs. Telephone usage is growing every
year, and we keep un with thjs growth
by keeping ahead of it.
"For instance, to meet the increasing
demand for communication circuits in
our area, we'fe adding 70,000 new chan­nel
miles this year alone, at a cost of
$3,500,000. Laying new cable will give
us 40,000 of those channel miles, and
we'll get tbe other 30,000 through use of
carrier equipment, which lets us send a
number of long distance calls on each
pair of wires simultaneously.
"Thus, though a qable might have only
300 pairs of wires, we can, with carrier,,
make it carry over 3000 telephone calls
at one time. Using carrier equipment to
get extra circuits out of cable—which is^
expensive to make and lay—is an example
of how we engineer to give high-grade
service at the lowest possible cost.
"Before I graduated from college I had
interviews with twenty-eight companies.
Out of all these I chose the telephone
company because it had the most to offer
in the way of interesting work, training
and opportunity. This certainly turned
out to be true. In a growing business
your opportunities grow, too."
Dick Walsh graduated in 1953 from ihe University of
Delaware with a U.S. in Mechanical Engineering. There
are many interesting career opportunities in other. Bell
Telephone Companies, and in Bell Telephone Labora­tories,
Western Electric and Sundia Corporation; Your
placement officer can give you more information about
all Bell System Companies. \

Plainsmen Split Series With League-Leading Gators; Meet Wildcats Next
Tubbs Blasts
Two Homers;
Susce Wins
By Bryant Castellow
Plainsman Sports Writer
The Auburn Tigers put on
an impressive show on the
diamond before many of t he
state's high school seniors
d u r i n g a part of the Village
F a i r program last weekend.
Friday afternoon Howell Tubbs
broke his season-long slump with
two homeruns and led his team
mates to an 11-0 victory over the
team from the University of Flo­rida.
While Tubbs was having his
field day at the plate, Auburn's
All-SEC pitcher, Paul Susce, had
a comparable day on the mound,
fanning six at the plate and shut­ting
out the Gator batsmen. He
allowed only seven scattered hits
and handed out only one free pass
to first in collecting his fifth win.
His season record still doesn't in­clude
any losses.
Auburn gave Susce a thick pad
to fall back on in the bottom half
of the first when they collected
six runs on four hits and three
walks.
Florida starter Bucky Williams
passed centerfielder Alton Shell
and second baseman Guy Young.
Shortstop Billy Ray Roberson
made it to first on a fielder's
choice, and big Howell Tubbs
cleared the bases with a 350-foot
home run over the rightfield
fence.
Swordsma and Laster both
reached base on singles. Susce
walked and Alton Shell chased in
two more runs with another sin­gle.
.
Three more runs were collected
in the fourth inning on five sin­gles
off relief hurler Bert Touch-berry.
The final Tiger tallies were col­lected
in the sixth frame when
Roberson trotted home.on Tubbs'
second homer, a blow of 410 feet
over centerfield fence^Bud The-ordocian
came in |§> relieve
Touchberry in the seventh and
the Tigers couldn't score again.

Saturday afternoon: Jttirned into
a tight pitchers' diM between
Tiger moundsman Herbie Pearce
and Gator Dale Willis. Nine
tight frames passed without a
run before the sun-and-sand men
came through with four.
Pinch-hitter Burt Touchberry
started the rally for Florida with
a single to left with one man out.
Maury Hurt came in to run for
Touchberry and promptly stole
second. Russ Maxcy then singled
to drive in Hurt. Larson followed
and reached first on a fielder's
choice.
Centerfielder Bob Barnes sin­gled
and Dick Marlow doubled to
score Larson before Pearce was
relieved by Doyle Pair^ Charley
King singled and Barnes came
home. Marlow scored on a dou­ble
steal, but Pair struck out the
batter to retire the side.
The Tigers failed to score in
the bottom half of the 10th and
the game went to the Gators.
Auburn's overall record after
Saturday stands at 6-5 and 3-5 in
SEC competition. Florida has a
12-2 mark and 7-1 in the league.

In The Stands
Nine SEC Champs Oppose Tigers;
Best Track Marks For 1956 Given
With nine of last y e a r ' s 14 individual Southeastern Con­ference
track champions r e t u r n i n g to compete against his
thinclad crew it would seem that Coach Wilbur Hutsell h as
a big j ob ahead of him. His Tigers won t h e conference title
in both 1954 and 1955, b u t a t h i r d consecutive crown appears
to be a large order.
Including Auburn's two returnees the complete list of 1955 champs
back for the present season includes Bumper Watson (Florida), 220-
yard dash; Jim Crossier (Florida), 440-yard dash;
Dave Powell (Auburn) 880-yard run; Ed Murphy
(Tennessee) mile, run; Lincoln Knowles (Florida),
low hurdles; Earl Pouncher (Florida), pole vault.
Bob Hyde (Alabama), Bill Yarbrough
(Auburn), and Bob Davis (Georgia), high
jump; Yarbrough (Auburn), broad jump;
Carl Vereen (Georgia Tech), shot and discus;
Joe May (LSU), javelin.
Yarbrough is the 5-7 junior who scored
twelve points in the SEC meet last spring. This
was high for the meet and assuming Yarbrough
can do as well this season, should furnish Hut-sell
with the nucleus of a topnotch team.
Besides Yarbrough, Hutsell also boasts Powell
William* and another SEC champ Don Johnson who per­formed
in 1953.
* * *
LSU has dominated 1956 track action thus far in the SEC.
Coach Al Moreau's team currently shows individual leaders Bob
Westerman, 0:9.9 for the 100; Harry Carpenter, 0:21.1 for the 220;
Ed Barron, 0:47.8 for the 440; King Mott, 1:57.6 for the 880; Car­penter,
0:14.6 for the high hurdles and 0:23.2 for the low hurdles;
John Davis, 6-2% for the high jump and 23-6V2 for the broad
jump, and a team leadership of 3:14.8 for the mile relay.
* * 4
Other individual 1956 leaders are Tennessee's Ed Murphy, 4:20.2
for the mile run; Florida's Don Gagon, 10:,06.6 two-mile run; Florida's
Earl Pouncher, 14-6 pole vault; Georgia Tech's Fred Berman, 53-10%
shot put; Tech's Carl Vereen, 172-1, discus throw, and Georgia's Bill
Duckworth 214-4 javelin throw.
* * *
Auburn's outstanding performances this season have been Bob
Jones. 6-2Vs high jump (Fla. Relays); Yarbrough 23-1 Vi broad jump
(Ga. dual meet); Johnson 1:58.7 in the 440 (Ga. dual meet); Yar­brough
0:15.0 high hurdles; and Pete Calhoun 25.2 low hurdles.

Freshman Nine Downs
Troy State Varsity, 13-9
The Auburn Tigers frosh base-ballers-
displayed potentiial var­sity
hitting power as they rapped
out 13 hits en route to a 13-9 vic­tory
over the Troy varsity com­bine.
Lloyd Nix, agile first.base­man,
collected four hits, all of
them of the one-base variety, but
the RBI power came from Gerald
George and Jack Burkett.
George drove in four runs with
a pair of singles while Burkett
knocked home a trio of runners
with a towering homer in the
third inning. Also collecting two
hits for the Tigers were Pinker-man
and Savage.
Handling the pitching chores
for the Tigers were Tommy Watts
and Fred McDuffie. Watts hurled
the first five innings, giving up
five hits and six runs while strik­ing
out three and walking seven.
In McDuffie's. four inning stint,
two bases on balls were issued
while only one Troy batter whif­fed.
Watts was the winner . '.
The Tigers drew first blood
when they scored three runs in
the third inning as Pinkerman
singled," George drew life on an
error and Burkett slammed his
home run.
. Then in the fifth Auburn scor­ed
five runs on singles by Nix
and George, walks to Carlen and
Lorino and Savage's double.
In the Sixth the Plainsmen
scored twice on a walk to Lorino
and singles by Nix and George.
A single by Pinkerman, triple
by Nix and a sacrifice by George
plated two runners in the eighth.
The Tigers closed out the scoring
in the ninth when Carlen doubled
and McDuffie singled.
. Troy's biggest threat to the Ti­gers
was in the person of its
shortstop, Raines. He banged out
three hits, including a pair of
doubles and a home run.x He was
also their RBI leader, plating two
runners.
Coaching the Tigers was var­sity
pitcher, Herbie Pearce, who
took over in the absence of Coach
Joe Connally.

Tigers Seek To Improve Record
At Expense Of SEC Cellar Dweller
By Maurice Hargrove
Plainsman Sports Writer
Coach Dick McGowen's rapidly improving diamond ag­gregation
will invade Lexington this weekend for a three-game
series with the lowly Kentucky Wildcats. All three
games will be SEC encounters as t h e Tigers attempt to im
prove on their fourth-place ranking in t h e e a s t e r n division.
At present the Auburn confer­ence
record is 3-5, with an over­all
mark of 6-5. The two games
with Alabama did not count in
the official standings. Georgia
and Florida continue to be t h e
leaders in their half of the con­ference
with Auburn and Tennes­see
battling for third place.
Paul Susce's shutout of the Ga­tors
last week was the first Flo­rida
loss of the season. Susce is
also one of two pitchers in t h e
SEC who hold a victory over the
perennial champion Bullcfogs of
Georgia.
Coach Harry Lancaster's Ken­tucky
nine has not won an SEC
game sice 1954 and so far this
year have dropped eight straight.

THE MANY LOVES
OF THORWALD DOCKSTADER
When Thorwald Dockstader—sophomore, epicure, and sports­man—
first took up smoking, he did ndt simply choose the first
brand of cigarettes that came to hand. No, indeed! He did what
any sophomore, epicure, and sportsman would do: he sampled
several brands and then picked the gentlest, tastiest, most
thumpingly, wondrously, unfailingly pleasing of all —Philip
Morris, of corris! ».i s"t£/?
Similarly, when Thorwald Dockstader took up girls, he did --
not simply select the first one who came along. No, indeed!
Thorwald sampled. He took out several likely girls and then he
compared their charms and then he made his choice.
His first date was with an English lit major named Elizabeths
Barrett Grish, a wisp of a girl with luminous eyes and a soul
that shimmered with a pale, unearthly beauty. Trippingly,
trippingly, she walked with Thorwald upon the beach and sat
with him behind a windward dune and listened to a sea shell
and sighed sweetly and took out a little gold pencil and a little
morocco notebook and wrote a little poem:
/ will lie upon the shore,
I will be a dreamer.
I will feel the sea once more
Pounding on my femur.
Thorwald's second date was with a physical ed major named
Peaches Glendower, a broth of a girl with a ready smile and a
size 18 neck. She took Thorwald down to the cinder track where
they jogged around thjrty or forty times to open up the pores.
i.Jltyt&g^&nHJ^
Then they played four games of squash, six sets of tennis, 36
holes of golf, nine innings of one-o-cat, four periods of rugger,
six chukkers of lacrosse, and a mile and a quarter of leap frog.
Then they worked out for a few hours on the parallel bars, the
flying rings, and the bongo board, and then went ten rounds
with the eight-ounce, gloves. Then they had heaping bowls of
bran and whey, exchanged a manly handshake, and went home
to their respective whirlpool baths.
Thorwald's final date was with a\olden-haired, creamy-browed,
green-eyed, red-lipped, full-calved girl named Totsi McEstway.
Totsi was not majoring in anything. As she often said, "Gee
whillikers, what's college for anyhow — to fill your head full of
morbid old facts, or to discover the shining essence that is
YOU?"
Totsi started the evening with Thorwald at a luxurious res­taurant
where she consumed her own weight in Cornish rock
hen. From there they went to a de luxe movie palace where Totsi
had popcorn with butter and a bag of chocolate covered raisins
— also with butter. Then they went to a costly ballroom and
cha-cha'd till dawn, tipping the band wildly all the while. Then
they went to a Chinese restaurant where Totsi, unable to deci­pher
the large and baffling menu, solved her problem by order­ing
one of everything. Then Thorwald took her to the women's
dorm, boosted her in the window, and went downtown to wait
for the Morris Plan office to open. i
While waiting, Thorwald thought over all of his girls and
came to a decision. " I t is clear," said Thorwald, "that I am not
yet ready for girls." " I t is equally clear," he continued, "that
a man needs a gentle companion, and who," he asked, "will be
my gentle companion?" "Why, PHILIP MORRIS, of corris,"
he answered. "Philip Morris will be my tender comrade, my
solace and my strength, my friend in adversity, my shelter in
vicissitude, my boon and bosom buddy," and, so saying, Thor­wald
lit a PHILIP MORRIS and was content. ©Max shuim«n. IOSB
The maker* of Philip Morrig, who bring you this column every
week, hope that Thorwald will soon find the girl of his dreams, and
that they will make beautiful smoke rings together—with Philip Morris,:

In Season's First Dual
By Richard Coiner
Plainsman Sports Writer
A u b u r n ' s track team came to life in a big w a y l a s t Sat­u
r d a y against the U n i v e r s i t y of Georgia's thinclads, running
•mp a score of 98% to 37%.
Coach Wilbur Hutsell's men won 12 of t h e 16 first places
at Cliff Hare Stadium, although the only record-setter was
Bill Duckworth of G e o r g i a.
Duckworth set a Georgia record
. and a Cliff Hare Stadium record
, when" he threw the javelin 210
feet and 11 inches.
There were many individual
.standouts on the Auburn team as
a;
Bill Yarbrough
three men won two events. The
Tigers' all-around ace, Bill Yar­brough,
won the broad jump with
a distance of 23 feet IY4 inches,
the low hurdles in : 15.2, and took
second place in the high hurdles.
f, Don Johnson, running for the
first time in competition since r e ­turning
from the service, \von the
220-yard dash with a time of
:22.7 and the 440-yard dash in
:50.0. %
Ellsworth Richter was the
other double-winner, winning the
mile run in 4:37.7 and the two-mile
run in 10:26.8.
Big Red Phillips seems to make
winning a habit as he surprised
Coach Hutsell by tossing the shot
47 feet 5% inches. Phillips has
only been oul for track a week
arid had never thrown the shot
over 44 feet previously.
The Tiger's next meet will take
place next Saturday at Tuscaloo­sa
when they meet Alabama. The
Tide was very impressive last
week, completely outclassing the
University of Tennessee's track
squad in a dual meet. The out­come
of this meet could well be
an important step in Auburn's
hopes for another SEC champion-ship_.

Phil Grawmeyer, the tall bas­ketball
player, is the Kentucky

face the Plainsmen in one of the
weekend encounters.
Auburn's prospects for the sea­son
looked- brighter than ever
after the two-game set with Flo­rida
last week. The return to
form of righthander Herbie
Pearce, who -blanked the Gators
until the 10th inning of Satur­day's
game, was most heartening:
for Tiger supporters. Also, first
baseman Howell Tubbs seems to
have regained his batting eye and
is being counted on to supply the
needed power for the Plainsmen's
stretch drive toward the top of
the standings.
Infield play is looking sharper

Past Sparring Partner Of Max Baer,
General Crawford Now Teaches Math
11
By Marie Peinhardt
Plainsman Feature Writer
"To my sparring parner, General Crawford" are the au­tographed
words on the picture of Max Baer, former World's
Heavyweight Champion, which General James B. Crawford,
API Associate Professor of Math, has as a souvenir of his old
army days. At the time of their frienlship during World
War II, Baer was a master sergeant in the army with the
General and was present World's
•Heavyweight Champion. Asked
how it felt to think of himself as
Baer's sparring partner, General
V: .'ford answered, "It gave me
•cold chills."
The friendship with Baer was
only one of the many interesting
and unusual friendships General
Crawford experienced during his
39 years in the Armed Forces,
four of which he spent at West
Point as a cadet. i
Teaching at West Point
During the 12 and.a half years
he spent teaching at West Point
in the Command and Genera]
Staff School, he recalls as one of
his most pleasant experiences the
close connection it gave him with
the athletic department. While
Graduate Manager- of Athletics
at West Point, he became friend­ly
with Mr. John McGraw, fam­ous
manager of the New York
Giants.
While on duty at West Point,
General Crawford also enjoyed a
close friendship with another
athletic great — Knute Rockne,
great Notre Dame football coach.
Looking back over the years,

Knute to be one of the greatest
leaders he has even known. The
fact that even today Notre Dame
!s so strong in football, he attri­butes
to the influence of this man
who died over a quarter century
ago.
General Crawford lists as one
of his sources of inspiration the
now famous men he instructed.
General Eisenhower, General
Omar Bradley, General Mark
Clark, and General Gruenther are
among these men. He' received
a great joy from his close asso­ciation
with non-commissioned
officers also. One of his closest
friends was Sergeant Marty Ma-her,
the legendary hero of "The
Long Gray Line."
Found Army attractive
Although he went to West
Point without any idea of making
a career of the army, General
Crawford has found army life
attractive. Working with his men
gave him a tremendous uplift,
for he always felt, when working
with them, like the head of one
big family. Besides his associa­tions
at West Point, he enjoyed
the time he spent in France, Ger­many,
the Philippines, and Pan­ama.
' ,
In the U.S., General Crawford
has lived for a considerable time
in ten different states. Origin­ally
from New York where he
graduated from high school, Gen­eral
Crawford became Associate
Professor of Math at Autfurn in
1948. General Crawford says he
has found his associations and
friendships with students and the
faculty at API pleasant and in­spiring.

We believe in Democracy and
the right to vote. Democracy was
certainly in action here at Au­burn
last week, and a majority
of the students recognized and
experienced this right to vote.
Fifty-seven per cent of the un­dergraduates
cast a vote last
Thursday. This is the largest
turnout at SGA elections in the
school's history. We also believe
in an intelligent citizenry. Be­cause
of the intensive campaigns
by all of the candidates, the Au­burn
student was able to become
informed of the purpose and
function of Student Government.
If for no other reason, I consider
the election a success simply for
serving to enlighten the typical

I lost in my campaign for the
presidency, but I certainly do not
feel that I was a total loser. I
made friends which I shall never
lose, and I met people which I
would not have met had I not
entered the campaign. There are
many reasons which cause me to
consider the venture a success,
but space will not permit elabo­ration.
In all of the good resulting
from this election there occurred
one bitter spot. Someone saw
fit to spread rumors in regard to
my personal stand on a couple
of issues. Some of the stories
which were circulated, were true
as I received the report; others
were totally untrue. If anyone
receiving the reports are in doubt
as to their validity, and would
like to find out, I'll be glad to
talk with you at any time.
I would sincerely like to thank
all of the people who supported
me in the campaign; especially
John Dougherty, my campaign
manager, and all of the others
who served as assistant managers.
Your ,'support arid vote was ap­preciated
more than I can ex­press.
I would also like to sincerely

Voters Praised
I think that the Auburn Stu­dent
Body should be congratulated
for their large turnout at the polls
last Thursday. Approximately 4,-
000 students voted, which is an in­crease
of 1000 over both of the
previous major elections held this
year.
I would also like to congratulate
the two presidential candidates for
their tremendous campaigns, as I
feel their efforts were primarily
responsible for the increased iri-^
terest in the election. The winning
candidates can have the satisfacy
tion of knowing they were chosen
by a large part of the student
body, and the losing candidates
can realize that they were not de­feated
by a minority group.
Although the 57% turnout is far
from ideal, it shows a strengthen­ing
of one of Auburn's weaker
sides in the past and is indicative
of the real beginning of a two-
