Freshmen Reveal Senate PaSSeS
First Impressions
Of Auburn Life
How does it feel to be a fresh­man?
Are freshmen excited, im­pressed
with campus atmosphere
ore just plain scared to death? In
order to get first hand information
on the ideas and attitudes revolv­ing
in the thoughts of most fresh­men,
A Plainsman reporter asked
several freshmen just how they
felt about the new experiences
awaiting them at API.
Blanche Baxter, Louisville sum­med
up her impression of Au­burn
in the short exclamation,
"I love it," then continued, "with
all the parties, meetings, and
things planned for freshmen, I
haven't quite realized yet that
I'm up here for a school schedule
that will soon include quite a bit
of studying. We've really been
kept busy every minute but it's
Baxter Jensen
great! 'Im really excited about
all the different activities com­ing
up, especially Auburn's foot­ball
games."
* * *
Teddy Jensen, Selma, claimed
the campus "looks pretty big;"
and perhaps thinking about all the
walking a freshman does during
orientation, grinned, "It's the big-
. gest place I've been in." Teddy
• admitted that he had- been "ner­vous
this afternoon at the orien­tation
group meeting," but he
claimed to have "calmed down
now."
* : * *'
Anitte Willcoxon of Tuskegee
Zi£) told the reporter: "•I've never felt
younger! I feel like I have a little
sign tacked on me with FRESH-Willcoxon
Colson
MAN written all over it . . . I
think of the little expression,
'You don't have to smile at me;
I'm just a lousy freshman too'."
* * *
Roy Colson, Mobile, probably
the calmest of the freshmen talked
to by The Plainsman, graduated
from-high school in 1952 and has
worked as a dance instructor since
then Roy said, "I've been out of
school too long and I'm anxious
to get started again." He claimed
that he "wasn't nervous about
being on campus for the first time
—just really anticipating school."
Everyone is so friendly, he added,
"I see I'm going to like it."
* * *
A freshman from Cullman, Ala.,
Gail Haynes, is favorably im­pressed
with the size of the cam-
Haynes Blount
pus. She describes it as being
"just the right size and the warm
welcome extended by Auburn-ites
to freshmen makes you feel
real good and a little less scared.
The girl from the Freshman Ad­visory
Council who met me at the
dorm and helped me bring up my
suitcases helped my feelings a lot."
* * *
Ben Blount, Wrightsville, Ga.,
said he was an "undecided engi­neer"—
couldn't make up his mind
just which department of engi­neering
to enroll in. Ben stated,
"I guess most freshmen are excit­ed
but I'm not. I've been down
here two or three times before,
and I've visited the University of
Georgia and Georgia Tech before,
so college isn't new to me."

On API Funds
$5V2 Million Voted For Next Year;
Taxes To Aid Construction Fail
Appropriations totalling $5,599,700 for the fiscal year
1957 and $5,820,500 for the fiscal year 1958 were granted to
API in a last minute tally of votes on the Alabama Legisla­ture's
final day of session. A bill which would have provided
Auburn with approximately $8,200,000 to be used largely for
construction failed to be passed
by the Senate.
College officials had asked for
a $7,143,000 appropriation for
each of the two fiscal years and
a construction fund of $17,648,800.
Action on the education bill had
been delayed until the last day
of session largely by controversy
and filibustering over a corpo­rate
income tax bill. Introduced
in the House by Rep. Roscoe Rob­erts
of Huntsville, this tax bill
received rapid approval by the
House and seemed destined for
success in the Senate when a mi­nority
bloc led by Sens. Ed Ed-dins,
Demopolis, and Garet Van
Atwerp, Mobile, began a filibus­ter
in opposition of its passage.
Revenue from the tax bill was
to have been used to finance a
Four Concerts Set
For Coming Year;
First On Oct. 16
Four concerts have been sche­duled
for the Auburn campus
during the coming school year.
First will be the Pamplona Choir
from Spain on Oct. 16; second,
Anna Russell on Jan. 15; third, the
Pittsburg Symphony, Feb.-28; and
fourth, Arthur Whittemore and
Jack Lowe,, duo pianists on March
31.
The Pamplona Choir will fea­ture
16 mixed voices during its
first tour of North America. It
was founded 10 years ago and has
made highly successful tours of
Europe and South America.
The Choir won the Grand Prize
of Honor at the International
Contest for Music in Lille, a com­petition
which involved 186 cho­ruses
from 17 different countries.
The international concert comm-dienne
Anna Russell will appear
on Jan. 15, at 8:15 p.m. in the
Student Activities Building. Miss
Russell is a star of. broadway,
movies, television and radio and
has appeared in London, Paris,
Hawaii, and many other foreign
countries.
She has made many. recordings
and is the leading soprano of the
New York City Opera Company.
She has been guest soloist with the
Cincinnati, Rochester, New Or­leans,
Toronto, Charlotte, Cleve­land
and National Symphony Or­chestras.
Reviewers have called her pro­gram
the "funniest program of
any kind, musical or dramatic."
The Pittsburgh Symphony is
hailed as one of the greatest or­chestras
in the United States.

Auburn was to receive $.9 mil­lion
for construction and an ad­ditional
$1.3 million in the bien-nium
for all three divisions of
the school.
In reply to the filibuster set up
against the corporate tax bill,
Sen. E. W. Skidmore of Tusca­loosa,
insistent upon the Senate's
taking action on the corporate tax
measure before considering the
education appropriations, set up
a counter-filibuster. Thus, the
school appropriation bill seemed
doomed in the deadlock over the
corporate tax issue.
The Senate had convened at
12.03 a. m. on this 36th and last
day of session • and planned to
stay until midnight of the same
day in order to make action on
these bills and many others listed
in a 48 page calendar.
With less than two hours before
the midnight deadline, the educa­tion
appropriations were still
firmly deadlocked. Sen. Skidmore
vowed that he would talk for the
rest of the session if necessary in
an effort to bring up the educa­tion
tax bill. Lt. Gov. Guy Hard-wick
urged a recess and during
this break enough of the Skid­more
backers were convinced to
cease their efforts. The Senate

Man, Say Hey!
Come Hey Day
"HEY! FRESHMAN" will ring
out over the Auburn campus next
Monday as all Auburnites don
their HEY DEY cards and show
the Auburn spirit of friendliness
to the incoming freshmen. In case
of rain HEY DAY will be held on
the next clear day. Stands with

The main purpose of HEY DEY
is to instill the spirit of friend­ship
into the incoming freshmen.
It serves to promote goodwill and
a sense of belonging between the

Draughon Says 'Bama Schools Inferior
In Talk To Summer Graduating Class
President Ralph B. Draughon called "education prepara­tion
and opportunities" in the State of Alabama inferior to
those of other state educational systems in an address to the
summer quarter graduating class late last month.
He accused the people of the
state of voicing.a "yell for better
schools and colleges in one breath
and a howl for lower taxes in the
n e x t " ~*~
Dr. Draughon called upon the
630 summer quarter graduates to
"use your influence for greater
support of higher education in
Alabama.
"The children of Alabama and
the graduates of Auburn, the
University and the other colleges
are entitled to as good education­al
preparation and opportunities
as those in other states. Under
present conditions they cannot
get them.
"We have 'clouds of witnesses'
to the fact *hat the people of our
country want the advantages of
higher education. This, I think,
should be testimony enough to
convince those who would give
our colleges a stone when they
beg for bread. Today the col­leges,
of Alabama are literally
begging for funds to help them
meet the tremendous demands.
Here in Auburn we struggle with
temporary classrooms, inadequate
facilities and equipment, low fac­ulty
salaries, and a desperate
need to add new people to the
faculty.
Dr. Draughon continued, "I am
deeply concerned with quality of
our graduates aiid I greatly fear
that, under the growing strain of
inflation, large enrollments and
competition for talent, Auburn
cannot continue- to maintain the
high level of quality that we have
always required.
"This is a distressing thought
because I know the efforts that
we make to keep the level of in­struction
high. I know liow ad­ministration
and faculty over the
years have devoted every re­source
to' that end. We do not
want inferior instruction. We
shun the thought of soft degrees.
We know that America needs
strong and thorough teaching to­day
as never before. I believe the
future of our State may well de­pend
upon the sound education of
her citizens.
"We in Alabama must be will­ing
to pay the price if we wish to
have the educational systems we
so badly need. We can't yell for
better schools and colleges in one
breath and howl for lower taxes
in the next. We can't demand
special courses and more research
of our colleges and continue to
refuse them when they point out
that these services will require
more funds.
"Too often, for too long, that
has been the pattern.
"I hope that it may change, for
I believe that we cannot afford
anything inferior in the education
of the people of our State. The
risks are too great and the costs
are far too serious," he concluded.
Tiger-Vol Game May Decide SEC Championship
By Paul Hemphill
Spainsman Sports Editor
A lot can happen before the
season's over, but a lot of folks
in Southeastern Conference
territory are saying the SEC
championship may be decided
when Auburn's Tigers and the
Tennessee Vols clash a week
from tomorrow in Knoxville.
The powerful Volunteers are a
near-unanimous choice to repeat
as title-winners, but the young
Tigers have shown so much pro­mise
since a brilliant spring
training that some are giving
them an even chance to upset the
Vols and wind up on top of the
heap at season's end.
Though he's still insisting that
"Auburn will always have a good
football team," Coach Ralph Jor­dan
is having trouble seeing how
his team could be rated so highly.
And he has reason to disbelieve
the experts.
Looking at next week's battle
realistically, it's hard to see how
the Vols will be anything but a
big favorite . . . They massacred
the Tigers right in their own
backyard last September—35-7 at
Birmingham's Legion Field—and
this time will have the supposed

honors. Left to right are end Jimmy "Red" Phillips, and halfbacks
Bobby Hoppe and'Tommy Lorino.
All-American hopeful Tommy
Bronson at fullback, the Vol
backfield could conceivably be
better.
In a nutshell, Tennesse should
be strong in the backfield, at cen­ter,
and a guard, where another
Bill Johnson is up for national
honors. The passing attack which
ruined Auburn last year has been
weakened by the lack of depth at
end and the absence of Majors.
There are several questions
that will remain unanswered un­til
the campaign is at least three
weeks old. The bigger ones among
them are: Can Jordan come up
with a good quarterback from a
group of five prospects who have
seen exactly zero minutes of var­sity
action at the position? Will
a guard corps riddled by injuries
early this Fall even approach ef­ficiency
of last year's Maxime-
Danjean duo?

advantage of playing on their
home grounds.
And before you say "Well, they
lost Johnny Majors" (possibly the
greatest of great Tennessee tail­backs),
please observe . . . Of
the Vol's first twelve backs from
last year, all but Majors are re­turning.
And remember this —
Majors was in the Vol lineup only
forty per cent of the time. Re­turnees
Gordon and Carter each
played almost as much as their

Academic Freedom Policy
Outlined In Trustees Report
Criticism Of Hutchinson Dismissal
Prompted Board To Take Action
The Board of Trustees late last month adopted a policy
subscribing "in general" to "academic freedom and responsi­bility"
for persons employed on the API academic staff.
Meeting on August 8, the Board made the policy state­ment
as a result of recommendations made by a faculty com­mittee
working with a committee
of board members.
These committees were named
as the outgrowth of criticism of
the Board by Bud R. Hutchinson,
former assistant professor of Eco­nomics
and Business, when the
Board failed to renew his teach­ing
contract following his publi­cation
last spring of a letter on
racial integration in The Plains­man.
Outlining its obligation to
"take such action as it shall deem
necessary to protect the institu­tion
. . . from the storms of pub­lic
controversy which arise from
time to time." the Board of Trus­tees
stated its right to remove,
without hearing if the board so
desires, any member of the fac­ulty
not having tenure.
Professor Hutchinson did not
have tenure when his teaching
contract was not renewed at the
end of the spring quarter.
"Although the board has tra­ditionally
followed the proced­ures
being recommended today,
they have never been written
down as institutional policy,"
said Dr. Ralph B. Draughon in
endorsing the statement and con­tract
form to the board.
After stating that the Board
of Trustees is legally "charged
with the responsibility of man­agement
and control of the Insti­tute,"
the new policy statement
says:
"The performance of these le­gal
obligations upon the part of
the Board requires that it shall
take such action as it shall deem
necessary to protect the institu­tion
and its employees from the
storms of public controversy
which arise from time to time
in order that the institution shall
be free to discharge its respon­sibilities
in teaching, research
and extension teaching.
"The Board recognizes as fact
that the great educational pur­poses
of the Institute, within the
financial limitations which may
exist, can be achieved only in a
climate in which its employees
may enjoy the traditional exer­cise
of academic freedom pre-

An all campus dance will be
held tomorrow night at the

According to Dean Katharine
Cater, girls will have 12 o'clock

Students To Get Asiatic Flu Shots
In Mid-Oct. If Serum Is Available
Feeling concern over the growing incidence of Asiatic
Flu, President Ralph B. Draughon has appointed a committee
to organize and plan for the innoculation of the Auburn stu­dent
body.
Said Dr. Draughon, "We shall
need to take every precaution if
we are to avoid an epidemic. As
you know, predictions are that
the disease will become serious
with the coming of the first cold
weather this fall.
"The armed services have first
priority for the not so plentiful
serum. If the serum can be se­cured,
Auburn students will
probably receive their shots dur­ing
the middle of October," said
Mr. James E. Foy, chairman of
the committee.
"An epidemic could be a real
threat to the institution, and out
of concern for the students, the
shots will be provided with no
charge to students."
Each student will be required
to take two shots. The first one
insures seventy percent immun­ity
to the disease and the second,
which will be given two weeks
after the first' insures ninety-five
percent immunity.
The 61 members of Auburn's
varsity football team and the 40-
member freshman squad were
innoculated against Asiatic Flu
Sept. 7. Also taking the shots
were the entire athletic staff.
None reported any serious reac­tions.
Many of the gridders said,
"It's the easiest shot we've ever
taken."
Committee members are James
E. Foy, director of student af­fairs,
chairman; Dr. Morgan
Brown, college physician; Miss
Clercie Small, assistant registrar;
L. O. Brackeen, director of pub­licity;
Dr. Norman Brittin, pro­fessor
of English; Paul Durrett,
Union Building manager; Ken
Mattingly, president of the Stu­dent
Government Association,
and Bob Tarte, Editor of The
Plainsman.

Bus To Tennessee
As an invitation to Auburn
rooters to attend the Tennessee
Game the Student Body has
made arrangements with Grey­hound
to sponsor busses for the
Knoxville trip.
Tentative plans call for de­parture
Saturday morning by 4
with breakfast along the way
and lunch In Knoxville. After
the game the busses will stop
for dinner somewhere outside
Knoxville and expect to be back
in Auburn by 12:30.
Cost for the round trip will be
$10 and girls who attend will
have late permission.
Tickets will be on sale In the
Union Building today and until
5 tomorrow afternoon.

Dean Promises
'Stronger Policy'
In Architecture
A 'stronger program' in the
school of Architecture and the
Arts has been promised by Dean
Sam Hurst.
Dean Hurst, appointed to head
the school beginning this farl, r e ­cently
made the comment on his
plans along with naming Charles
M. Kelley head professor of arch­itecture
to round out his staff.
In connection with Kelley's ap­pointment,
Qean Hurst said "By
his conviction and the examples
of his executed work, Prof. Kel­ley
has distinguished himself
within the school of profession.
His appointment completes our
administrative team.
"We move ahead toward a
stronger program, not only in
architecture, but in building tech­nology,
art, music and the dra­matic
arts as well. Each of these
programs will enrich the other
and, properly coordinated, will
raise the quality of our student
product.
"Further, we hope to bring ar­chitecture
and the arts closer to
all our people. The nature of the
architects' services and his par­ticular
contributions are not yet
fully understood at the grass
roots. Art as expression and com­munication
has always been a
common denominator in the cul­tural
advance of man. To be so
it requires not only his passive
enjoyment but his active partici­pation
in creative work.
"Through exhibits, clinics, trav­eling
productions and faculty ac­tivity
at all levels, we shall work
to share the resources of our
school with the community and
the region. Significant work in
this line already is underway."
ASIATIC FLU SHOT? An apprehensive student carefully
watches as API nurse prepares to give him a shot. All students will
be required to take Asiatic Flu vaccine when the serum becomes
available.
Union Welcome Dance
The Student Union welcomes,
or welcomes back as the case
may be, all students to their
kick-off Welcome Dance to be
held tonight In the Union Ball­room.
The dance is to start at
7:30 and last until 10:30. Cun­ningham's
Combo will play for
the dancers. All students, es­pecially
Freshman, are wel­come.
Plainsman Staff Meeting
Old staff members and new
students with or without pre­vious
newspaper experience,
Interested in working on The
Plainsman writing or business
staffs are urged to attend the
first meeting of the year, to­morrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock
In room 318, Union Building.

Define The Auburn Spirit?
Smile as you walk down the street. Say
h e l l o to t h e people you meet. Get that 'Au­b
u r n Spirit.'
Get WHAT?
Why the 'Auburn Spirit'! Now don't ask
what it is—every year editors of The Plains­m
a n pound out reams of copy in an effort to
t e l l the new freshmen just what the school
spirit we have h e r e at A u b u r n really is. They
never have come up with a good definition.
We don't hope to this year—but we can point
out a couple of ways t h a t you can spot a real
War Eagle.
He's friendly. Always speaks to people
he passes on the street, whether he knows
t h em or not. Students here have earned for
Auburn the t i t l e of 'Friendliest Village.' Vis­itors
to the campus comment on this friendly
atmosphere, and the student full of t h e 'Au­b
u r n Spirit' can't help but be proud of the
compliment to his school.
This is the second t r a i t so easily seen in
t h e student with school spirit. He is proud
of his school. P r o u d of the football t e am and
of the band because of the good publicity
t h e y bring; and he's proud of t h e nuclear r e ­actor
over in t h e physics building because it
indicates that Auburn is on the ball acade­mically.
Friendliness and pride, those two things
stick out all over an A u b u r n man. Not Just
while he's shouting 'War Eagle' over in Cliff
Hare Stadium. Even after he has graduated
and left the campus, he may hope to take
those two traits with him. They are two
things that you get as a bonus when you go
to college at Auburn.
I t may take four years of study and
'sweating exams' and good times, too, before
you develop a real sense of pride in Auburn;
but your contribution to t h e friendliness of
our college starts the minute you step on
campus for t h e first time, and it never really
stops from t h e n on.
Make this contribution a good one. Smile
and say hello to the people you meet.
FROM THE BOTTLE
Ratio Gets Plug-Players Too
Smooth Sailing In Architecture The President Speaks:
A 'stronger program' in the School of
Architecture and t h e A r t s . . . those were the
words of Sam Hurst, dean of t h e school.
To the n ew arrivals on campus, it may
sound like a t h r e a t to good grades. But to
those who remember the trouble that boiled
u p in a r c h i t e c t u r e t h r e e years ago, a 'stronger
program' is n o t h i n g but good.
I n the spring of 1954, students in the
Biggin area had nothing but complaints.
Complaints about the administration of the
school, the quality of the instructors, and
even complaints t h a t Biggin Hall wasn't open
l a t e enough at night to allow students to fin­ish
t h e i r work.
The trouble in t h e school of Architecture
was given state-wide newspaper coverage. It
was rumored that API might lose its accred­ited
s t a t u s in architecture. And s t u d e n t s were
afraid that their a r c h i t e c t u r e degrees would
be worthless if this happened.
Some students t r a n s f e r r e d to other col­leges,
and certainly others decided not to
enroll at A u b u r n due to the situation here.
API suffered much bad publicity.
We have recently talked to some stu­dents
in the school of A r c h i t e c t u r e and they,
in all instances voiced nothing but satisfac­tion
with the appointment of Dean Hurst
to head, t h e school beginning this fall.
I t ' s good to hear that Dean Hurst has
appointed his staff for the coming year and
is promising a 'stronger program.'
AVA Deserves Praise... Again
The A u b u r n Veterans Association, t h e most
active service club on campus, has done a
tremendous job during registration.
G e t t i n g classes scheduled isn't e§syl ; b ut
conditions are much better t h a n befdVe? 'AVA
began helping out. The orange and black
AVA armband has been a familiar sight
around Biggin Hall this last week as t h e vet­erans
kept lines moving, gave advice to wor­ried
registrants and kept others from regis­t
e r i n g before their turn.
Having someone handy to go for help was
a big consolation to weary freshmen strug­gling
through registration for the first time.
But these newcomers to the campus may
have failed to realize the worry and time
saved t h em by the close-out boards, manned
by AVA personnel.

To t h e Students of Auburn:
On behalf of the Administrative Staff and Faculty I
extend greetings and a h e a r t y welcome to t h e members of
t h e Class of 1961, and to the students who have transferred
to Auburn from other colleges. We wish for each of you
much of happiness and h a r d work as you adjust yourselves
to A u b u r n and become a p a r t of our student body.
All of you are making a heavy investment of your time
and money as you enter here. It, therefore, is e x t r e m e l y im­portant'
t h a t you budget both your time and your funds
wisely. I believe t h a t you will find that wise planning will
enable you to meet the requirements of your classwork and
provide ample hours for work in campus affairs and recrea­tional
activities. The most difficult problem of students
seems to me to be t h a t of knowing how to work effectively,
and h ow to use t i m e wisely.
Many of the rules and customs of A u b u r n will be new
to you, and perhaps, at first, confusing. If you do not under­stand
any m a t t e r clearly, do not fail to ask faculty and ad­m
i n i s t r a t i v e people to help you out. They will be glad to be
of service to you.
Finally, you have entered into a great t r a d i t i o n which
has for its inspiration the Auburn Spirit which has for its
finest expression, the, loyalty, responsibility and devotion of
a wonderful student body. I hope t h a t each of you may come
to k n ow what Auburn stands for, and that each will so live
h e r e as to make Auburn a b e t t e r institution by reason of
your career as A u b u r n students.
Now, l e t ' s get r e a d y and see if we can't t a k e Tennessee!

L e t t e r s To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
I am sure the students that at­tended
summer school will agree
that the summer issues of The
Plainsman were surperb—in edi­torials,
features and news stories.
However, there is more to pub­lishing
a school paper than writ­ing
good articles. Few students
realize the technical problems in­volved,
or the sacrifices and
hard work demanded of staff
members each week.
As an employee of a local
printing firm I had the pleasure
of working this past summer
with one of the finest group of
staff members yet, Harold Grant,
editor; Terry White, managing
editor, and Don Coughlin, sports
editor. They did a marvelous job
and are to be congratulated. A
big city daily could not have
operated smoother.
Sincerely j^oursf
A printer.

Dean of Women
Dear New Students:
I am happy to add my wel­come
to the many that you have
received since arriving in Au­burn.
We are very glad that you
have decided to attend the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute, and
we hope that you will find here
all the things that you hoped to
find in the college of your
choice.
We are proud of our fine stu­dent
body at API and of the
wonderful spirit they display.
We know that you, too, will
make good members of the stu­dent
body and that as individ­uals
and as a group you will
make a significant contribution
to this institution. We hope that
you will so profit from your ex­perience
here that 1957-58 will
be the happiest and most mean­ingful
year that you have ever
spent.
Sincerely yours,
Katherine Cater
Dean of Women
Student Affairs
To the Freshman Class:
Greetings and best wishes to
every member of the Freshman
Class. I know this first week has
been a time of new experiences,
new friends, and high activity.
With the close of orientation
week you will be settling down
into the routine of the'quarter.
I wish you great success in your
every undertaking..
Auburn offers unexcelled op­portunities
for you in the field
of out-of-class activities. These
activities provide the means for
you to serve your fellow stu­dent,
the good name of Auburn.
At the same time you can de­velop
your personality and in­crease
your skill in working
with people.
After you have established
yourself in your class work you
will want to balance your per­sonality
by participation in stu­dent
government, student publi-L
cation, music and Union pro­gram.
Your Tiger Cub is chock­ed
full of suggestions concerning
out-of-class activities. They are
too varied and numerous to
mention here. Let me urge you
to study your Cub and deter­mine
which activities appeal to
you most.
Your college life will take on
new meaning and enrichment
when you have found an oppor­tunity
to serve Auburn.
All of us in the Office of Stu­dent
Affairs are looking forward
to working with you. We will
feel it a privilege to talk with
you at any time.

and women. Therefore on behalf
of the upperclassmen I extend a
hearty welcome and congratu­late
you on the future that you
have chosen. Furthermore we
invite you to participate in as
much of the campus life as pos­sible,
with the knowledge that
an education is more than book
learning and that an Auburn
education is a way of life.
There have been many before
use and there will be a great
many to follow but for the next
four years we will be Auburn.
For this reason, the Student
Body, of which you have just
become a part, has provided
copies of the Auburn Creed with
the hope that you will soon
adopt it as your own.
Once again we welcome you
and invite you to start the year
with a bang by giving your
wholehearted support to the
Squires Hey Dey on Monday.
Become a part of the Auburn
Spirit!
Sincerely,
Ken Mattingly
President, Student
Body
It has been brought to our at­tention
that once again the ra­tion
of females to males here on
the Auburn campus is approxi­mately
seven to one. Of course
these figures are only prelimi­nary
estimates as the ADO (Au­burn
Dating Office) had not yet
received a full tally from the
Registrar's Office. Incoming co­eds
are urged not to worry too
much though, as the ration book
system of dating is reported to
be undergoing some r a d i c a l
changes this season. It is hoped
that senior women will receive
more ration stamps this year,
but we will strongly advise
against hastily using up all of
their quotas before the end of
April. Our sources of informa­tion
within the ADO have even
hinted that the ration or "point"
system might be entirely scrap­ped
sometime in 1963 in favor of
a questionaire-card file rec­ords
office. However, ADO for­mally
denies this.
Research on our part dis­closed
that for the past year the
supposedly defunct Equality and
Glorious Opportunity Committee
for Coeds was still very much
alive, and was sponsoring a
dating plan wherein all systems
would have been thrown out the
window, so to speak, leaving
the coeds anarchisticly compet­ing
for the few available males.
We need not point out that this
is a most unnatural and dange­rous
system of thinking. Dr.
Winston L. Foge, director of the
ADO. in a recent lecture to the
Auburn Cleanliness Committee,
warned the assembled members
about just such practices, saying
"We can't have no more of that
damn stuff around here." We
are pleased to report that
prompt action on the part of
The Plainsman staff has resulted
in • the public banning of this
subersive group and all its mem­bers.
The members have been
put on the ADO wallflower list
permanently. As we all know,
the wallflower list is a duty to

taking turns (much like the
armed forces' KP) being wall­flowers,
thus contributing to the
general happiness. In addition
to this, all the students found
Iran Rock'n'roll Stopped Cold;
Violates Laws Of Decency
Well, it looks as if rock'n'roll
is going to continue in full swing
this year—everywhere except in
Iran, that is. It's been baned
over there.
The whole thing started back
in the spring when the "Elvis
Presley" craze hit teen-agers in
the capitol city, Tehran. Record
sales jumped, Radio Tehran laid
in a stock of the latest in rhy­thm-
and-blues, and all Iran be­gan
to rock.
By the time the dust from
shuffling feet began to settle late
this summer, Iranian police de­clared
they had had enough —
and slapped a ban on rock'n'roll.
They said that is clashed with
Moslem custom which forbids
undignified behavior of women
in public. And too, officials did
not thing Iran could stand the
strain physically.
Doctors reported that at least
two boys were known to have
bitten their tongues off while do­ing
the frienzed dance. And, go­ing
from bad to worse, another
lad was said to have broken a
knee, his neck and spine while
spinning out a fast number.
It was here that the police
stepped in. By the middle of Au­gust
they were quite sure that
things had gone far enough. Ra­dio
Tehran threw away it's swing
records; news papers called the
new dance "decadent, degrad­ing,
immoral, dangerous and
lascivious," and a rock'n'roll
"blackout" settled over Iran.
Dance instructors who claim­ed
to know "Elvis" personally
and held "certificates of compet­ency"
from him were thrown out
of a job over-night.
More important than these lo­cal
effects, we feel, is the chance
that Iranians wil get a false im­pression
of America because of
this rock'n'roll incident. Per­version
obviously crept into the
dance before it reached Iran.
And now, with U.S.-Middle East
relations already in delicate con­dition,
the Communist are sure
to blame us with corrupting the
morals of Iranian youth.
The only way that we can see
to smooth over the damage that
has already been done is through
an exchange of students. Some of
our students could go over there
Communism would suffer a
tremendous set back,
to show them the correct, digni­fied
American version of rock
'n'roll; and beter yet, we could
bring Iranians over here to ob­serve
the dance in its purist,
most innocent form.
Perhaps we would get some
of the exchange students right
here at Auburn. Of course on the
first weekend we'd pile all our
guests in cars and head down to
Panama City, where rock'n'roll
is practiced as a fine art.
Here our friends from the Mid­dle
East would see clean-cut
young people as they gracefully
execute the folk dance called
rock'n'roll — between sips of
Coca-Cola at the "Y" or at one
of. the other wholesome youth
clubs that abound in the area.
The newly indoctrinated visi­tors
could go back to their coun­try
carrying good will for the
U.S. and the REAL rgck|n'roll
to Iran.

On Tuesday, the 24th of Sept­ember,
the Auburn Players will
hold their quarterly tryouts. Al­though
the main purpose of the
session will be read for parts in
the popular comedy, Desk Set,
all persons interested in any
phase of dramatic production
(sound effects, make-up, set de­sign,
costumes, stage manage­ment,
and so on) are urged to
attend.
Through the years at Auburn,
the "Players" have provided the
students, staff, and faculty with
an unending variety of enter­taining
productions. In addition
to this, each year the group se­lects
what has proven to be an
outstanding hit and tours the
neighboring countryside, show­ing
the play in High Schools,
town auditoriums, and neigh­boring
colleges. Last year's
"road show" was Shakespeare's
Twelfth Night. This Fall they
hope to tour with The Moon Is
Blue, a comedy of unquestioned
merit.
Last year's playbills were
headed by titles such as My Sis­ter
Ilene, Harvey, Ibsen's Ghosts,
The White Sheep of the Family,
and The Importance of Being
Earnest. Oscar Wilde's Earnest
proved itself to be so popular
that this season, on the eighth
of October at eight in the even­ing,
the Players will present the
play over the Educational Tele­vision
Neawork.
We here at Auburn owe the
Auburn Players a debt of thanks
—thanks for the hours of pleas­ure
they have given us from
across the footlights, and thanks
especially for the many hours
ofciheir hard work which made
these productions possible.
The Role Of Student Government
BY DAVID MANEY
In the past few years there
has been some doubt in the
minds of many students as to
exactly what is the role of stu­dent
government, and as to the
part it plays in student life. This
year, it will be the purpose of
this column to present a clear
and concise picture of exactly
what the Student Government
and the Women's Student Gov­ernment
Association are and are
not doing. In the interest of bet­tering
an already good organi­zation,
there will be more pub­licity
for the activities of various
senators and cabinet post mem­bers.
The A u b u r n SGA is com­posed
of nineteen elected offi­cers;
a president, secretary,
treasurer, a vice president, and
fifteen senators. There are also
nine cabinet posts and numerous
volunteer students to support
these posts. The president, with
his cabinet, the treasurer, vice-president,
and the secretary are
the administrative organ of the
with the approval of the senate,
SGA. It is they who initiate,
many of the SGA sponsored
campus-wide projects. The sen­ate
acts as the representatives
of the student body, both to the
administration and the public at
large.
The cabinet posts are appoint­ed
by the new president follow­ing
each election with the ap­proval
of the senate. In the past,
although these posts could be
political rewards, the students to
fill them have been selected on
the basis of ability and past ser­vice
on the various committees.
Freshman who wish to become
active in student affairs will
find their best chances in mem­bership
on one of the commit­tees
of the cabinet posts.
Within the next few weeks,
reports will be made on the pro­gress
of all the committees.
There will also be discussions' on
the announced SGA goals for
the coming year.

PLAINSMAN SPORTS EDITOR
Sports Editor Writes Letter To Frosh,
Tells Of 1957-58 Auburn Sports Year
Call it, among other things, an open letter to the Auburn
Freshman, this product from the typewriter of a guy who's
new to the column-writing business.
In general, it's addressed to anybody who'll read it. But
in particular it's intended for Johnny Jones, the little guy
who played "B"' team basketball at Geraldine or Dadeville
or Locust Fork High School. And Tommy Smith—the three-letterman
from Birmingham, Mobile or Atlanta. He's a wel­come
reader, too.
Anyone, in fact, who likes his sports and craves always
to be on the winning side—whether table tennis, football or
what have you—is included in the mailing list.
Maybe, Johnny or Tom, you came to Auburn because big
brother did the same. It's certain you're here because, simply,
Auburn's a good place to go to school.
But when it came time to make the big decision, what was
the one small deciding factor, the worm that turned the tide
and caused you to say "yes" to Auburn and "no" to any num­ber
of other schools?
The guess here is that you wanted to yell "War Eagle"
and mean i t . . . You wanted to be with a winner.
And if that's the case with you, my friend, you've come
to the right place.
We're getting kinda used to winning teams around here
now. But things weren't so rosy in the past. During the 14-
year span preceding 1953, there were only two Tiger football
teams that won more games than they lost. But then Ralph
Jordan came along and gave a not-yet-disheartened student
body something to really yell about. Since '53, when Jordan
and his aides had ample time to organize, Auburn has won 29
games, lost only nine, tied two, and played in three straight
Gator Bowl games.
There's no reason why our winning football tradition
shouldn't continue this Fall, either. We've been picked in pre­season
polls as the 15th best team in the nation. And some
folks think we'll beat Tennessee, Tech and all the others to
the top of the heap in the Southeastern Conference race.
You won't stop being proud of your school when the last
fan files out of Birmingham's Legion Field after the season-ending
Alabama game. Cause soon after that, what should be
Auburn's finest basketball squad in history will bound onto
the floor of the Sports Arena and show you some tricks with
a basketball you never saw done back home.
And it's the same rule as last year, the one before that,
and the ones before that . . . After a basketball season comes
baseball and track. A newly-developed winning habit in base­ball
on the Plains and an old, apparently never-ending one in
track are the guarantees from me to you that you'll go home
for the summer with the satisfaction of knowing you're on a
winning "team".
Yep . . . You came to the right place.
Postscripts. .
Last words on a baseball season that Milwaukee manager
Fred Haney must surely wish were ending today . . .
It's a much more experienced squad that will greet Dick
McGowen when he assembles forces next spring. Most of the
returnees have added the know-how from a summer of good
semi-pro ball to their baseball experience.
Infielder Jack Crouch hit .332 at second base for Yankton,
South Dakota, while righthander Fred McDuffie and infield-er-
outfielder Gerald George played with other towns in the
same circuit. . . Henry Clay Dumas, the little
guy you'll be hearing a lot about next spring,
carried most of the pitching load for Mon­santo
(Columbia, Tenn.). Playing behind Du­mas
at shortstop was Bobby James, who was
so effective at second base early last spring^
with the Tigers. L«;
Sophomore righthander Quineth Roberts, |
who was ineligible last year, had a 14-1 rec
ord with Combustion Engineers (Chatta- Dumas
nooga, Tenn.). His lone loss came at the hands of Dumas . . .
Senior catcher Pat Duke was stationed at Homer, Louisiana,
as was soph righthander Allan Koch . . . Outfielder L. F. La­nier
was different—he played at home, with Shawmut (La-nett).

Plainsmen Appear Strong In SEC
Air Of Uncertainty Hovers Over Plains
But Tigers Still Rated In Top Four
A week before the scramble begins for the '57 SEC cham­pionship,
there's still an air of uncertainty as to just how
good Auburn's Tigers will be.
None of the pre-season pollsters doubt that Coach Kalph
Jordan and his staff have come up with a good outfit. The
lowest the Tigers have been picked to finish is fourth.
But a combination of inex­perience
at key positions at Au­burn
and expectations of a four
or five-team race for the con­ference
crown has kept the ex­perts
from agreeing on exactly
how well the Tigers will fare.
More than one have picked the
Plainsmen to conquer Tennessee
on opening day and ride that vic-
Tim Baker
tory to the top of the heap. Jor­dan
doesn't agree—at least out
loud, he doesn't.
"Naturally, we appreciate the
compliment," says the personable
Tiger teacher, "and hope we're
that good. But we've lost seven
starters from last year's team

Actually, looking at the thing
on paper, one has to agree with
Jordan. For a football team to
lose that many regulars is com­parable
to the Yankees' doing
without Mickey Mantle.
But a realistic approach is
needed for the picture to come
into true focus. Figures often lie
—and that may be the case at
Auburn.
There's no intention here of de­grading
the seven who aren't
around any more—they were good
'uns, there's no doubt. But an ex­cellent
spring trainnig and an
almost-as-good fall session has
brought some surprises that are
making the Tigers forget whether
that number of lost starters was
one, three, four or the actual
seven.
Number one among the sur­prises
has been the quarterback
situation, where none of the as­pirants
have had a minute of var­sity
experience at that position.
"We certainly had a problem—
losing Tubbs, Cook and Riley, our
top three quarterbacks," offers
Jordan. "But," he adds, "we're
not worried about it many more."
Lefty Lloyd Nix, who was
switched from right half last
spring, has brilliantly responded
to the challenge and been given
the starting nod against Tennessee
in next week's opener. He's had
a terrific battle on his hands with
two sophomores, John Kern and
Bryant Harvard, neither of which
should hurt the ball club when
they are in there.
So far, it seems the only weak­ness
in a backfield which includes
All-America nominee Tommy Lo-rino
and the guy who may make
him that with his ferocious block­ing—
Bobby Hoppe, is the yet-un­filled
search for a reckless runner
at fullback.
Senior Billy Atkins, then sophs
Ronnie Robbs and Jimmy Rey­nolds
have taken turns at giving
sparkling performances, but none
Lorino Phillips
have been consistent enough to
completely solve the problem
there.
But the shortcomings at full­back
are minor ones compared to
those at guard. That, so far, has
been Jordan's bigest headache.
"Losing two fellows like Max-ime
and Danjean would hurt any­body,"
says Jordan. "And we've
had so many injuries at that posi­tion
that the men who need the
work haven't been able to get it."
Captain Tim Baker's recurring
back trouble has slowed him con­siderably
this fall, and the in­jury
list has been so long at times |
that it was necessary to switch \
reserve tackles to guard in order
to scrimmage.
Breaking the squad down, po­sition-
by-position. . . .
ENDS: Should be better than
last year, though captain Jerry
Elliott has gone via graduation.
Jimmy "Red" Phillips, the SEC's
'uns, there's no doubt. But an
excellent spring training and an
almost-as-good fall season has
brought some surprises that are
leading pass receiver, is back at
right end for a final crack at All-
American honors. On the other
side is junior Jerry Wilson, a rug­ged
210-pounder who could be
one of the best by season's end.
The main relief for Phillips will
come from junior Mike Simmons—
a prototype of Wilson. Sophs Leo
Sexton and Bobby Wasden — a
fast-coming ex-fullback—line up
behind Wilson. Rangy John What-ley
may free-lance, playing both
sides.
TACKLES: Ben Preston, free of
injuries, leads a corps that could
be very good. Left tackle is in
fine shape, with senior James
Warren and soph Leon Myers—a
guy to watch in the future—play­ing
behind Preston. Youth is the
keynote on the opposite side, with
junior Dan Presley ahead of
junior Cleve Wester and soph
Teddy Foret. Foret, however, may
play head-on guard on defense.
Junior Jim Jeffery would be the
utility man, if there were any
such position on a football team.
GUARDS: The loss of Chuck
Maxime and Ernie Danjean has
left a muddled picture here. Soph­omore
Zeke Smith has been the
one constantly-shining light and
will start on the left side. It'll be
either captain Baker or junior
Frank LaRussa at right guard—
depending, in part, on how Bak­er's
injuries heal. Senior Jeff

Six SEC Teams Opens Tomorrow
With Spotlight On Tech-Kentucky
1 Six teams of the SEC's "Dixie Dozen" swing into actioi
this weekend with the spotlight centered on the Kentucky-
Georgia Tech game in Atlanta. Tennessee, defending cham­pion

Vanderbilt, spearheaded by All-
American candidate Phil King,
will open their season against
Missouri in a non-conference tilt.
LSU will meet one of the ever
dangerous T e x a s Conference
teams, Rice, in Baton Rouge.
Graduation riddled Tulane but
they will have one bright spot in
the person of Gene Newton when
they meet VPI in their initial
contest. • ,
Another game, Florida-UCLA
was cancelled because of a flu

"Rookie" Lloyd Nix Solves Jordan's Big Headache,
Grabs Starting Quarterback Post From Heralded Sophs
By George Wendell ""
Plainsman Managing Editor
n
9 Has "Shug" Jordan finally solved his number one head­ache?
This question will be answered next Saturday when the
kuburn Tigers' grid machine, piloted by quarterback Lloyd
|fix take the field against a strong and slightly favored Ten­nessee
aggregation. This will be Nix's first experience as a
college quarterback and all eyes will be centered upon the
boy who is rated as "one of the better quarterbacks that Au­burn
has seen." 9: Nix first came to the Plains as
a quarterback but was switched
tp halfback because he looked like
^e would never make a varsity
signal caller. He was awkward on
his feet ahd: lacked a sense of de­ception.
But all of this is changed
now. He has developed his foot­work
along with having a pair of
fine hands and excellent mental
ability.
& He throws a knuckler which is
not a fast pass but is one which
is hard' to intercept.
Last year Nix threw one pass
as a halfback which was good for
16 yards and set up a touchdown
against Kentucky. Also he scored
the Tiger's lone six-pointer against
the Vols.
Last spring Nix was tried at
quarterback when Jimmy Cook
and Frank Riley were dropped
from the team. He performed in
the number three position, run­ning
behind Johnny Kern and
Bryant Harvard.
But this fall is a different story.
After three days of practice he
was moved to the number one
spot and four days later he had
the starting role locked up.
Lloyd is a 20 year old product
of Kansas, Ala. and was an out­standing
athlete at Carbon Hill.
He was All-County, three years;
All-State, two years and All-
Southern in football. In basketball
he was All-County two years, and
was selected on the same team
four times for his baseball ability.
All in all the Plainsmen have
a real find in the person of Lloyd
Nix. And if all goes well he should
make the Saturday afternoon
crowds forget the quarterbacking
antics of such greats as Travis Tid-well,
Bobby Freeman and Vince
Dooley.
11 Red" Phillips Selected
Academic All-American
^ Jimmy (Red) Phillips, flashy right end on Auburn's
football squad has been named to an Academic All-American
pre-season football team. Phillips, who has made every ma­jor
pre-season All-American team, was named to the acade­mic
all-star team because of his scholastic average as well as
his gridiron ability.
Lloyd Nix
Lester Jordan, sports publicity
director of Southern Methodist
University, named the 1957 ver­sion
of his annual Academic All-
American pre-season Football
squad which, in Jordan's words,
'consists of players who star both
on the gridiron and in classroom."
The number one right end on
'Jordan's team is Jimmy (Red)
Phillips, Auburn. Phillips was one
< fH six Southeastern Conference
players to make the first three
teams.
Eight SEC men placed in the
honorable mention category. Three
Df them are Auburn players. The
three are Tackles Dan Presley and
James Warren and Quarterback
Jeorge Egge. Presley's school work
lias been so consistently out­standing
that he was chosen for
a Purina Scholarship.
Egge for two years has been the
top ranking cadet in his Air Force
ROTC class.
All were chosen for the team
on the basis of any one academic
quarter during the past year.
Lester Jordan's first team con­sists
of John Nikkei, left end,
TCU; Capt. Jim Orwig, left tackle,
Michigan; Jerry Ford, left guard,
Arkansas; Charley Brueckman,
center, Pittsburgh; Bill Johnson,
right guard, Tennessee; Bob We-toska,
right tackle, Notre Dame;
Phillips, right end, Auburn; Pat
Flood, quarterback, Navy; Capt.
Ned Oldham, left half,. Navy;
Frank Riepl, right half, Pennsyl­vania,
and Ray Masters, fullback,
SMU.
Hgers-Vols. -..
(Continued from Page 1)
It's the general belief that
guard will be Jordan's biggest
headache. Captain Tim Baker's
chronic bad back has been acting
up lately and it looks as if he
may never recover fully enough
to go full speed. There is only one
other senior guard listed on the
roster. Beyond that, there is fresh,
green inexperience.
Jordan is his emphatic self
when he vows there is no prob­lem
at quarterback. But that all-important
position must remain a
question mark. Former halfback
Lloyd Nix — who, incidentally,
scored Auburn's only touchdown
against Tennessee last year—has
moved ahead of the flock and will
probably start against the Vols.
But the lefthander has never
played quarterback in college.
And the same goes for. the re­mainder
of the group, which in­cludes
a couple of promising
sophomores—John Kern and Bry­ant
Harvard.
On the bright side, Auburn still
has the four guys who—like the
man says—need no introduction,
Tdmmy' Ebriiio* is ,back' fa"try"t<5*
better his nation-leading 8.4 rush­ing
average from left half-back.
Clearing the way for him will be
right halfback Bobby Hoppe—the
"Chattanooga choo-choo" and the
Tigers' best back defensively and
as a blocker.
Up front is senior tackle Ben
Preston, who should be ready to
make his bid for All-American
honors after being slowed by in­juries
last season. And last but
not least is big "Red" Phillips
Intramurals Start Soon
As Meetings Scheduled
BY PAT GENTRY
Intramural Sports Editor
The Intramural Sports program, under the direction of
Coach R. K. Evans, is truly a student program. It is financed
by student activity fees. The Board of Control is made up
largely of student members and all of the supervising and
officiating is done by interested students.
Among the various sports listed
in the intramural program are
football, basketball, softball, track,
volleyball, bowling, tennis, swim­ming,
badminton, horseshoes, and
table tennis. Intramurals are a
year-round program with some­thing
to offer every boy on cam­pus.
The various sports are designed
to provide healthful recreation
through games for the students,
to encourage the widest. possible
participation upon the part of
students and to develop good
sportsmanship a n d character
through competitive sports.
Coach Evans announced Tues­day
that there will be a fra­ternity
managers meeting Mon­day
Sept. 23 at the Union Build­ing
315. The various leauges
will be decided at this meeting.
On Sept. 24 at the same place
the independent touch football
managers will meet. AM expect­ing
to enter teams should at­tend.
Teams begin practice Sept. 23
and continue through Sept. 28.
Actual competition begins Sept.
30.
Touch football officials are
desperately needed. Students
who are interested should see
Coach Evans in Thaoh 319,
Macy Johnson, Lambda Chi
house, or Irby McCalla, Phi
Kappa Tau house. The games
begin at 4:15 p.m. Monday
through Thursday and the offi­cials
are paid $1.50 per game.
In connection with the Intra­mural
program is the Intramural
Check-Out Service, located in the
Union building. All equipment in
the service room is available to
any student at API. Equipment
may be borrowed on a 24-hour
^basisydur^gig the week and from
TTfiday until Monday on week­ends.
.
If a group or organization is
having a lake party or picnic and
need sports equipment they may
drop by and check out such things
as a volleyball set, softball equip­ment,
badminton sets, etc.

Tigers Strong J . .
(Continued from Page 6)
Weekley and soph Haywood War­rick,
at left guard, and tough Don
Braswell at right guard afford the
depth—which is limited.
CENTER: A merry battle for
starting honors which began last
spring has ended—for the moment
at least—with Jackie Burkett the
victor over junior Jimmie Rick-efts.
BACKFIELD: Possibly the
strongest point of the Tigers.
There's good depth everywhere,
except, possibly, fullback. Though
there's no experience at quarter­back,
any one of the top three
men there will help with good
running and fine passing. Tommy
Lorino is at left half . . . 'nuff
said. Bobby Hoppe—the block-ingest
back in the conference—is
opposite Lorino, and he can still
run. Depth will come from a host
of men who'll bear watching in
the future, among them Bobby
Lauder and Lamar Rawson. Pat
Meagher, having Tils best fall,
vill play either halfback.

I t ' s about a homer-happy southpaw (the name has slipped

And the obsession t h a t he couldn't hit t h em had driven him
to such a frenzy that he even quit speaking to anybody who

One day, t h e story goes, as Big J o h n was walking down

man who was leaning against a building and begging for a

kind-hearted friend— noticed t h e blind m a n slowly reach into
t h e cup, take out the q u a r t e r and begin to transfer it to his
coat pocket—with his left hand.
Suddenly the once-placid J o h n flew into a rage, wheeling
on t h e beggar and snatching t h e coin from his grasp.

PROGRAM COMMITTEES
The Union Program Council
carries out programs and admin­isters

The council consists of a
chairman appointed by the stu­dent
body president and ap­proved
by the senate, a Union
Program Director and seven com­mittee
chairmen. Glen Pehl, sup-erintendant
of social affairs, is
chairman of the Council. The
seven committees are headed by
Ewell Elliott, dance; Terry White,
social, Mary Singer, fine arts;
Don Leithauser, entertainment;
Billy Kight, recreation; Paul
Adamson, publicity; Mary Enzor,
secretarial. Any student who
wishes to work on a committee
may do so, and Union committee
chairman are anxious that people
exercise their particular inter­ests
and aptitudes in Union acti­vities.
Annual Chest X-ray
Program Planned
For Sept. 30-Oct. 11
Dr. M. W. Brown, director of
student health, has announced
that the annual Chest X-ray sur­vey
will be held starting Sept. 30
through Oct. 11. The X-rays not
only show tuberculosis but also
offer indications of cancer and
heart disease. ,
All students with the exception
of entering freshmen and trans­fers
were given a card during
registration indicating the time
they are to be X-rayed. Students
should report to the union build­ing
at the time mentioned on
their card. The X-rays are taken
at no cost to students. If a stu­dent
has a class at the time he
is supposed to take the X-ray, he
will be given an excuse for the
class he missed.
The X-rays are conducted
through the Student Health Ser­vice
and made possible by the
State Department of Health.

THE MIXTURE AS BEFORE
Today begins my fourth year of writing this column
and, as before, I will continue to explore the issues that
grip the keen young mind of campus America—burning
questions like "Should housemothers be forced to retire
at 28?" and "Should pajamas and robes be allowed at
first-hour classes?" and "Should proctors be armed?" and
"Should picnicking be permitted in the stacks?" and
"Should teachers above the rank-of associate professor
be empowered to perform marriages?" and "Should cap­ital
punishment for pledges be abolished?"

P h i l i p Morris Incorporated sponsors this column.
Philip Morris Incorporated makes Philip Morris ciga­rettes.
They also make Marlboro cigarettes. Marlboro is
what I am going to talk to you about this year.
Before beginning the current series of columns, I made
»n exhaustive study of Marlboro advertising. This took
almost four minutes. The Marlboro people don't waste
words. They give it to you fast: "You get a lot to like
in a Marlboro . . . Filter . . . Flavor . . . Flip-top Box."
Well, sir, at first this approach seemed to me a little
terse, a bit naked. Perhaps, thought I, I should drape
i t with a veil of violet prose, adorn it with a mantle of
fluffy adjectives, dangle some participles from the ears
. . . But then I thought, what for? Doesn't that tell the
whole Marlboro story? . . . Filter . . . F l a v o r . . . Flip-top
Box.
Marlboro tastes great. The filter works. So does the
box. What else do you need to know?
So, with the Marlboro story quickly told, let us turn
immediately to the chief problem of undergraduate life—
t h e money problem. This has always been a vexing
dilemma, even in my own college days. I recall, for
example, a classmate named Oliver Hazard Sigafoos, a
great strapping fellow standing 14 hands high, who fell
in love with a beautiful Theta named Nikki Spillane,
with hair like beaten gold and eyeballs like two table­spoons
of forgetfulness.
Every night Oliver Hazard would take Nikki out to
dine and dance, and then to dine again, for dancing made
Nikki ravenous. Then they would go riding in the swan
boats, and then Nikki, her appetite sharpened by the sea
air, would have 8 or 10 cutlets, and then Oliver Hazard
would take her home, stopping on the way to buy her a
pail of oysters or two.
To raise money for these enchanted evenings, Oliver
Hazard took on a number of part-time jobs. Between
classes he cut hair. After school he gutted perches. From
dusk to midnight he vulcanized medicine balls. From
midnight to dawn he trapped night crawlers.
This crowded schedule took, alas, a heavy toll from
Oliver Hazard. In the space of a month he dwindled from
260 to 104 pounds—but that, curiously enough, proved
bis salvation.
Today Oliver Hazard is a jockey, earning a handsome
living which, combined with what he makes as a lymph
donor after hours, is quite sufficient to curb Nikki's
girlish appetite. Today they are married and live in Upper
Marlboro, Maryland, with their two daughters, Filter
and Flavor, and their son, Flip-top Box. ;

free-wheeling, uncensored column every week during the
school year... And speaking of pleasure, have you tried a
